I recently realized I've been using an old SIM card, and thought I might be on AT&T's EDGE network (instead of the 3G network). My wife's SIM card has a 3G SIM card, so I powered off her Aria and my X10 and put her card in my phone to test it.
The phone booted and I got a yellow ! notification that there was a problem with my Google account. I tried installing an app from Titanium to test the connection. The app wouldn't install.
I powered down and put my SIM card back in and booted. Since then, I cannot install or uninstall any apps from the market or from Astro in Wolfbreak's Cyanogenmod Froyo ROM (v054).
I restored in xrecovery to a few weeks ago, but the problem remains. I even put the SE ROM back on, did a factory reset, and did a fresh install of Wolfbreak's ROM, and it still won't install any app/apk.
I found a post which suggested stopping and wiping the market and its data, didn't fix it. Found a post which suggested deleting some folders from the SD card (LOST.DIR, Android, download and android_something), didn't work.
I CAN install apps fron the stock SE ROM.
Any help is appreciated.

inserting any new sim card to the x10 makes your google account to log off you have to log in over and over again I've done that and worked normally
you have to log in again to your google account.
Tested a different SIM card, now can't install apps or apks [SOLVED]
Thanks for your suggestions. While signing into my Google account didn't fix it, I did figure out the solution!
I had signed in to my Google account again, but I still couldn't install any apps. Also, and I meant to mention this before, all the apps on my SD card were "not installed" anymore.
So, I figured the SD card was the one constant among wiping and reinstalling the ROMs and restoring from backups before the switch. So, I restored my phone to an earlier state, and then DIDN'T boot, but took out the battery. I plugged my SD card into my laptop and deleted all the folders, except those I knew wouldn't have anything to do with the problem (e.g. music, DCIM, TitaniumBackup etc.).
When I plugged it back into my phone and booted, I could (un)install apps again! Of course, all the apps from my SD card were wiped, but God bless TitaniumBackup.
This also explains why the apps on the SD card didn't show up - probably the same bug preventing installation was preventing the phone from being able to use those apps. If anyone knows what SPECIFICALLY I could have deleted, instead of the massive wipe that I did, I'd love to know.
Hopefully this will help anyone who has this problem in the future.
As you read in my title...
I Went to the Gallery the other day and i saw a pic that i didnt like so i deleted it, then i didnt see any Deleting Progress bar or anything and the Pictures Were gone. I ejected and took out the SD card then used a Card Reader to Try and Recover it with softwares like Dr.fone , Wondershare Data recovery, Easeus data recovery, but there was no use cuz everytime it just started scanning the SD card the SD card ejected itself. I think that the SD card may contain a new and improved kind of virus cuz also when i tried to scan it with ESET antivirus and AVG antivirus it did the Same thing (Auto Ejected itself).
So here i am today Asking your Help.
Any Help would be appreciated thank you.
Sounds like your card went bad to me. All the symptoms you describe match a failed card. It's not a virus.

You can use a recovery program to get the pictures. Well most of them

Just happen lately that when I took picture with my original samsung camera app, it pop message as "unable to save file to sd card. default storage is changed to device". The phone can still read or write the SD card as normal, only camera app is giving the issue.
I have try clear the app data as well as re-format my SD card, but the issue remains.
Are you sure the phone can write to the SD card still? I noticed this same issue with my new GS7 (regular, not Edge) today. I tried taking pictures and had the same message you reported pop up. I can't write to the SD card at all. If I put the card in my computer, it'll write to the card; but I've tried moving files on the SD with Samsung's "My Files" app and the attempt to move fails. I've tried getting several other apps to write to the card and they fail too. In my searches I can find other people reporting problems with writing to the card, and that maybe there's a problem with Samsung's latest software version. Anyway, I've just had my phone for 2 days, so I'm surfing around looking for a good answer.
EDIT: My problem turned out to be a failing SD card. The computer (WIndows 10) created the illusion that the file was moving, but didn't actually do it. The SD card was no longer writable. I picked up a new 200 GB SD card and it is working great.
kind of similar issue here with my s7 edge, when i take pictures it sometimes saves to the device storage without any warning randomly. though my settings is save to sd card.
Same issue here, only the camera app has trouble writing to SD card, but it works perfectly fine otherwise.
It seems to have started happening since the latest system update (G935FXXU1APEQ).
I've already tried many things : clear camera app cache, wipe system cache, reformat SD card...
Same issue too
I have reformatted SD card, no change ...
I think it's related to http://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/micro-sd-problem-t3340251

what the ****, updatet 2 hours ago to G935FXXU1APEQ now I have the same Problem. Yesterday all worked fine with the old firmware, now I have more problems than yesterday -.-
WTF Samsung
Did you guys flash a new firmware on top of another from a different region? I experienced this when I flashed a different firmware onto another. Wipe is the only fix.

I finally found the courage to do a wipe data / factory reset, and you were right, it's the only thing that works after trying everything else I could. I can now fully enjoy my SD card through the camera !

Maybe a permissions issue on camera app.

I checked that and made sure all permissions were enabled. No luck.

I'm facing the same issue since upgrading firmware. My previous card became unreadable - even in my computer. Got a new SD card, and every other app is OK, except the camera. Seems ridiculous! Looking forward to a quick fix!
Guys I just updated to new firmware and still some problem. Anyone knows of any way to fix this?

I use the latest btu stock with root and it hasn't fixed the issue... Can someone confirm whether factory resetting fixes it if you had the issue and managed to solve?

Hi all,
I'm desperate. I just realised my camera app has suddenly started to act weird.
Basically it can't save images on SD CARD anymore as if the sdcard was write protected but it's not. I can copy/paste files without issues on the card. It feels like the camera app has some issue. It can save videos and pics without problems on internal memory but refuses to save on sdcard. I tried Camera-FV app and it can save on SD Card so I guess it's the actual camera app ....
I tried clearing data of the app, uninstalling the app with titanium backup and reflashing the rom on top of my current installation (without factory reset) and nothing works. I also tried formatting the SD CARD with both PC and Phone and unmounting/remounting...nothing
Another thing I noticed is that I can't copy files from pc to sdcard straight. I have to first pass them to phone internal memory and then using phone explorer app I can move from phone to SDCARD. Very weird behavior. It's like if the device is blocking write access to the card? I also tried another sdcard and same story.
Anyone has any other suggestion?
I have the same issue the camera app can not access the SD card.So was the app "my files".Most wire thing is ES explorer write SD card well as usual.
I'm pretty sure this issue is happening since I update the system(G9350ZHU2APE3).
Damn this sucks! It must be the update that broke the sdcard. I saw several others having the same problem. No confirmed fix yet? Must we factory reset?

So, everything was looking fine:
as sai no more gost touch with TWRP for magisk,BUT keeping stock B13.
I try to restore a backup from my primary phone with "My [email protected] Pro" but A LOT of data were not recovered and some apps crashed when I try to open it, even clearing cache.
SO I format, restored the apps by google playstore choosing my primary phone for the app list and then recovered wit "My [email protected] Pro" only the DATA (I have 198 apps, some with home banking or other settings that I have no time to restore one by one).
Now apps works fine (almost 9'% of them) BUT
everytime I reboot the phone says micro sd is corrupted/damaged and need to format it.
I try 4 micro SD of various size, I even try to make it adoptable with root thools, bu nothing.
I googled and I found almost nothing, just one on samsung board that fixed it formatting the SD with PC (and I try...nothing changed).
Now,the only thing that I have to try is to format again, restore the app by google account and try with Titanium backup (that on my LG G5 doen't works since a year or more ago...).
Someone has the same problem or suggestion?
Thank you very much <3
