I'm having a strange problem with my Boost Mobile LG Stylo 2 running stock Marshmallow. I have enabled Adoptable Storage using ADB, and have migrated apps and data to a Sandisk 32GB SD card.
There is plenty of free space. When the phone first boots up, everything works fine. But after a period of time -- sometimes an hour, sometimes days -- it seems to run out of storage. I can no longer take photos. Some apps that use the SD card for storage, e.g. HERE Maps, start and immediately disappear. Sometimes app updates will not install.
Here are some screen images that show the problem. (Screenshots don't work.)
Any ideas? I'd be grateful for any help with this!

Update: I think my SD card was (for some reason) becoming corrupted. One day, after updating some apps, the phone would no longer boot past the Boost splash screen. When I removed the SD card, the boot completed (minus all the apps that were stored on the SD card). I reformatted the SD card on my desktop computer, put it back into the phone, and did the procedure to enable adoptable storage on it. After reinstalling the missing apps, everything seems to be working normally.

Just purchased a Galaxy S7 Edge. I enabled data encryption and forgot about it. Slapped the SD card back into my old phone as I was waiting for a new case to arrive before I used it.
Swapped the SD card back into the Galaxy S7 Edge and now it cannot detect any of the old photos. Thousands of them. Gone!
When I stick the SD card back into the old phone, it sees all the photos but it just have a "question mark" on it. Cannot view the photos, but its there....
Swapped it back to the Galaxy S7 edge where I encrypted the card, and NOTHING.
I am decrypting the sd card right now on the S7, lets see if that fixes it. Anyone else?
looks like phone cannot decrypt the card. Stuck on "checking sd card".
Under the advice of Samsung support and Tmobile, I did a factory reset and that accomplished nothing.
Now, All I see is.

Do they still have different file sizes on them for example, over 1mb in size? If not and they are all around less than half a mb, then you have lost all your photos and can't do much to get them back because you encrypted them.
Do your pics sync to the cloud? Maybe you can find them there.
Lesson learned, backup your photos.
My memory card today told me I was running low which I found odd.
Upon checking I noticed System Data was taking over 20GB of room.
Before using this memory card on this phone I formatted it as set it up for external use
I have been searching on google for a while and cant find any reason for this or how to fix it
Any ideas?
thanks

Found a fix
From your phone dialler, dial *#9900#
Tap on Delete dumpstate/logcat and it will show you dump result. Click okay and exit and reboot
Dial *#9900#
is working for some mobiles only.
Not for all. Others are still finding it difficult to get rid of insufficient memory message popping up when updating apps.
This problem is big and most users are suffering.
No other way than to format a mobile / factory reset.
*#9900# doesn't work on AOSP roms -.-
Edit:
Unplugging the MicroSD card, putting it into a Windows PC, and putting it back to Android changed the files. They showed up as Found.00 and i could delete them.
I just noticed that my SD card name automatically change to something like this. See screenshot.

It happens two three times for me.
I just formated the sd card and done a factory reset . Now it's ok . I don't know whether it is a virus or not
I just noticed this same problem on Elephone P9000. SD card (formatted as portable storage) suddenly lost its name 'samsung SD card', and became:
,%%@M-kM-^\-^K^SJb^J
For the rest it seems fully functional. Anybody any clue why is this?
Hello guys,

Please check screenshot from S8 below:

Apps aren't installed to /system, they are installed to /data and it says you have 30GB free so you're fine.

Thanks for replying, now. I wonder how does "system" gets full?
/system should not be your concern unless you root your phone.
this is used exclusively for system files, and data here is only changed when you install a system update.
the manufacturer will make sure no update will ever cause the system storage to fill up completely.
i'm using this super popular super ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...rom-lineageos-14-1-samsung-galaxy-s4-t3586561
I just downloaded 2nd of this December's build and installed it with latest TWRP for ja3gxx.
Didn't install gApps, I though it be better to do after.
i'm trying to expanding internal storage with a 16GB class 10 sd card.
in settings app after formatting successfully, it fails (settings apps hangs/ "stopped working") when you press the button on the next dialog/page to start moving data to the sd card.
if you skip moving the data, by selecting "later" and continuing, the sd card shows as corrupt.
i'm 100% sure the sd card is not corrupt and is genuine, I formatted it multiple times,
in TWRP, wiped it and changed file system to F2FS, and It formats and works as a portable storage, it shows a 16GB portable storage space.
I have tried most likely identical (just defferent colors gray+red and white+red) Sandisk class 10, 16GB sd cards.
so the issue is not the sd card.
