2 weeks ago, I received a replacement S5 when the screen on my old phone died. At that time I rooted lollipop and everything was running fine.
Today, I woke up and the phone was complaining that it was running out of internal storage. I checked and it was 10.30GB/10.52GB. I deleted some files and brought usage down to 9.7GB. The phone stopped complaining. 2 hours later, the internal card is completely full. I deleted a few more files and again the card is full.
I have rebooted and turned off data to see if the phone might be downloading anything to the card. No luck. I even tried looking at the directory structure in ES File Explorer, but the darn program keeps crashing, probably because there is no free storage.
Does anyone know which directories are safe to delete/what data can be removed? would it make sense to go into the application manager and start deleting data from apps?
What the heck could be causing the internal card to be filling up? browser cache? buggy programs?
I also just remembered something else: when I woke up and unplugged the phone from an over night charge, the battery was not at 100%. I got to work and it complained that it was at 20%. I plugged it in and after 2 hours it's only up to 30%. I turned off the phone and it seems to be charging normally.

This will most likely fix all your storage issues. As for the battery percentage, that may have just been a fluke. I've had it happen once before.

I asked one of the techs here in the office and he suggested I do a factory reset. I titanium backed up everything and did the reset. I then reinstalled everything and memory is happy. Only 6.31of 10.52 is in use. The only sucky thing is that I forgot to back up my noon app and lost a few days of food, exercise and weight. Oh well.
The weirdest thing and the reason I did the reset is that when I opened the card via USB, it displayed only 200+MB of files, but told me it was full when I tried to copy anything. So weird.
When you hook it up to USB, only your personal portion of internal storage is visible to you. The system and data take up internal storage as well, but that's visible to you via USB when using Windows Explorer or any PC file explorer. Doing a factory reset cleared all of the data on the phone, including system data. That's why you have all your space now. If you use Titanium Backup to restore things, then you are most likely going to run into the same issue. If you are done restoring everything you need with Titanium Backup, then follow the link I just posted before it causes insufficient storage.

Hello, since a few months, my Tomtom 7.916 crashes regularly. It has 3 appearences:
1) complete freeze, need to remove battery
2) distorted screen
3) crashing program: gives message that files from storage card cannot be read.
In case of 2) and 3), my HD mini seems not able to find the Storage Card anymore: both in settings and in explorer. After a soft reset, the card is back again. During sommer Holiday, I did not have any issue at all. The only thing I remember from that time is that at some stage, the storage card was known as storage card2, which was also quite annoying though, but that happened only once or twice: my issue now happens everytime I use Tomtom, sometimes once every hour, sometimes once every minute.
Any ideas are welcome.
i have faced the same issue i lost all my data and apps that was stored on my memory card , it happened after i was using the the phone while being plugged to the pc and i restated my phone cuz it was stuck (still plugged ) after i switched on back the phone to my surprise i cudnt read my installed apps it says either the app is removed or relocated but then when i went to the explorer file to take a look at my storage card i found it empty !!!!!! i lost all the data there
i have a 8 GB memory card so im guessing maybe the issue is from the card itself or that its from china!! i have no clue yet, up to now its working fine .
ok, I must say in my case, I never lost any data from the storage card. But indeed, it cold still be the cause of the problems. Are there any ways to reformat the SD card in order to obtain more reliabile performance? What did you do with it when you lost all the data?
Did another check:
when Tomtom is running, and I plug in the USB cable and choose the diskdrive option, I get exactly the same failure signature 1) 2) or 3) as listed above. So maybe, my HD mini sometimes "thinks" a data cable is connected iso just the charger. I know there has been an issue in the beginning with the HD mini not recognising when a charging cable was connected.
Any thought on this? Do I talk nonsense?
Try TTN7.917.9186_vga_black_cuckoo_NOBT instead of 916, had the same issues with 916 before!

Sorry, made a mistake in my first post: this 7.917.9186 is exactly the one I am already running.
Had the same issue with my storage card. Solved by reinstalling the same software again (7.916)
Does it only happen with tom tom? I haven't used tom tom today, but my SD card suddenly is gone ! This is the second time in a few months...and it really annoys me, it really looks like a bug in WM. Thankfully this time, after a reboot it works again....
I had similar effects also without Tomtom, but then the storage card became "storage card 2". And after a reboot it became "storage card" again. But with Tomtom I completely loose the card, and it comes back after reboot. So a bit different, but your case could have the same reason. I will try a reinstall.
This is a rant and a P.S.A.! Just lost all of my data on my micro sd card (the one that came with the phone - SanDisk class 2 16GB). I have a TMOUS HD2. I would use CWR backup and Titanium Backup (even have 3 history backup setup) to backup all of my data on my phone. I usually do a backup with Titanium Backup once a day.
Symptoms: Started about three days ago my phone just suddenly rebooted while just viewing my facebook friend stream widget. Didn't really thought about it because I know some people have been getting that too.
Two days ago while copying files within my phone using File Explorer, my phone restarted again. I though it was the File Explorer program 'cause when I used Root Explorer it worked fine. Later that night, I tried to play Angry Bird Seasons but it kept FC'ing on me. I restarted my phone and it worked fine after that. Then after a while it kept FC'ing again so I uninstalled Angry Birds Season and downloaded the game from the market and it was working ok again.
A day ago, I got a call but then the phone just froze up and everything lag. Waited five minutes then I was able to restart the phone up and it worked again.
Today, I noticed that my TypoClock widget was lagging and wasn't showing the current time (was about four minutes late from the time in the notification bar). I deleted the widget then put it back on and it was working ok again. I get a text message, the phone came on with the white screen but gets stuck in the white screen. I waited five minutes or so and still nothing. I restarted the phone and now it says I have a blank sd card. I plug the sd card in my pc with the adapted but still doesn't recognized the card at all. Tried to format the card with the phone but still no luck. Hard lesson learned.
So don't make the same mistake I did. Even if you do a lot of CWR backup or Titanium backup, remember to backup those files into your computer too.
thanks or all informations
try to use mybackup pro that one is nice backup software.
use sdfomatter to format your sd card .first try quick then full .
to backup your rom+app its good to use cwr.
but sd card always make problem to me also.last 2days ago at long last idid full format it takes more than an hour but lots of problem solved.
and so far it is working very nice .so far i dont have any problem .
After I recharge the battery I have a slew of force closes, certain system apps do not work, and 3g never connects... wifi works, same with phone calling, texting is a hassle with the force closes. And it's not a rom issue. I've used two roms(Bionix and Trigger) and it affects both. I've wiped the phone, aside from formatting the internal card, no clue. Any help will be great, thanks!
You say you wiped the phone, does that mean you odin'd back to JFD? If not, try it.
You could also try to back you internal to your computer and reformat it then just copy everything back.
Maybe one of the above mentioned will help.
I installed Swype Beta last night before I went to bed last night. When I went to bed last night I had over 8gigs free on the device. This morning when I woke it up, there is a warning at the bottom of the screen that says the device is "Low on space". When going into the settings and looking at the storage settings, it now says that I have 14.83mb of free space left. Any idea what could have caused this? I have uninstalled the Beta of Swype and that has not done anything. I have looked through all the installed apps and there is nothing showing in the list that is that large.
It is running stock at this point. I have gotten the update to push it to 141.07.
Any ideas what this might be? Any ideas on how I can fix this?
Thank you in advance for any input provided.
I believe this has cropped up for a couple of other people as well; the only solution I recall from the top of my head is to do a factory reset, which loses user data so back up what you need to.
One thread suggested checking your tablet for a lot of media files first.
We figured out, that this problem is caused by a really big tombstone. But we still don't know, what created this tombstone...
Edit: If your tablet is rooted, you can search for the file under root:/data/tombstones and just delete it ^^
Had the same issue.. could not install anymore programs on the SD card, reporting it was full. Itried everything. I ended up doing a factory reset. My unit is not rooted.

Hello all,
I have a Moto Z Force Droid (XT1650-02). It's running on Android version 8.0.0, and build number OCLS27.76-69-6. It was acquired from Verizon. It is not rooted (sadly), and the bootloader is locked. It has 32GB of internal storage, however, I added an SDCard(64GB) to increase that storage space.
I'm having some problem(s) with my SDCard, or more so its usage as adopted storage. I've had the phone with the storage for quite a while and everything has been fine. However, 3-4 days ago was when the issues started. One night, my phone was acting really laggy. Which I just chalked up to tech being tech. I let it sit for a bit, tried rebooting it, etc. Well, as time progresses it seems to me that Facebook Messenger is what's slowing it down. So, I try uninstalling it. Of course, this isn't working and android just keeps giving me a helpful little notification that the app is uninstalling (for much longer than it *should* take). I figured I'd reboot into safe mode and try uninstalling it from there. The phone powers off and reboots fine. However, when I tried to unlock the screen, the entire phone froze and crashed after a minute or two. Once it reboots, it gets stuck in the bootloader (or, more specifically, where it says "DROID" and there are little shiny spots moving around the letters). So I used the power button to force the device off and try rebooting again. Again, boots up fine but it freezes at unlock and the cycle starts again.
Around 2 days ago I took it to a Verizon store. Originally I was just told I was going to have to factory reset (which I didn't want to because all the pictures I have and such would be lost. Apps are backed up by Google though). They told me to take out the SDCard, to help save what I could. Then, I got the bright idea to try booting without the card. This time the phone booted fine and unlocked like it should (the only problem now is that I had no internal storage and all the apps that were on the SDCard aren't loading since no SDCard).
When I leave the phone on and install the SDCard, I can browse the internal storage again. However, I can't see any of the files when I try transferring them to PC over USB. As well, after a while of using the phone, or even letting it idle, it will eventually crash and go back to the above botting and not-unlocking scenarios.
Based on how/when the problem started, and the logcats I've grabbed as the phone was crashing, I have reason to believe it has something to do with Facebook Messenger not being removed correctly. [Logcats in the comment below.]
Any help would be greatly appreciated. As well, please tell me if there's anything that needs clarification. (Sorry for the wall of text. I just don't know what else to do at the moment.)
