Anyone else having problems with the portable storage? - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Well, I don't know if its my phone (G530T) or rom LineageOS, but it seems like when I try to migrate all my data to my SD card it seems to close out of the screen at 64%, then that's when things SANFU.
I can go more in detail if someone thinks they can actually help

App crashes, SD card issue and OTA update

Hi everyone,
I'm in a spot of bother, and really hoping someone can help to give some advice. This is my first Android phone, as you can probably guess, and I've been noticing some issues.
1) The first thing was the Martket not downloading, however after following some advice on forums it seems to be working okay now.
2) Today I've noticed that some applications are crashing. It's not the same ones, so far it's happened with Market, the internet browser, even some battery gauge which I installed. I don't have a note of the exact error message, but it always says it's encountered a problem with 'com.android.......' and needs to close, and then I have to click force close.
3) It's asked me to download an OTA update for the phone, but I've read mixed reactions on it. I don't have any issues with the proximity sensor, but I've read a few people have had the problem arise SINCE they installed the update. Would you recommend that I install it, or leave it?
4) The main issue that's concerning me at the moment is an issue with the memory card. I've had a few occasions where it's come up saying 'memory card unexpectedly removed'. I've checked the cover to make sure it's on and the memory card was in. At first, removing it and reinserting it, or restarting the phone fixed it. However, this evening it's not. If I put the memory card in the phone, it says it's preparing it, and whenever I access anything that needs the memory card, such as the camera, it comes up saying it's been removed.
I've tried the card that come with the phone, and that seems to work. However, I'm worried for two reasons a) I need to copy all my pics, music, etc from my old memory card to the new one that come with the phone, and I'm worried in case it might be something on there that has interferred with it. b) I'm worried that the phone might have damaged the memory card in some way, as I now can't even get my PC to access it.
If anyone has any suggestions or advice, I'd really appreciate it.
I have read similar problems with people changing the SD card before first use. It seems there are some system files on the SD. I recommend copying all data from the original SD card to the new one and then checking to see if you have the same problem.
I have updated my DHD over the air and it works fine

[Q] Weird Data reboot issue

Alright, so I have posted on this before, and thought I had it solved... WRONG! So the problem is anytime I go to use data without wifi, it'll reset the phone for some reason. Already tried every radio, and that didn't do it. I've tried 3 different SD cards, even without cards. So if I never setup a data connection the phone works great. As soon as I setup that connection it just starts rebooting. VERY annoying! Especially when trying to show it off lol.
Can anyone chime in on this? Is this normal?
very odd, actually, i would have said nope never heard of it up until 3 min ago when i downloaded a program from the marketplace, left my screen on and didnt touch it and zap, of it went, up to then ive never had an issue at all, i hope it doesnt persist. I think its unlikely an SD issue, but it could be, if you can always reproduce the issue then its likely a system bug, if its random then its more likely to be memory/SD issues.
Hi guys i had the same issue on my TMOUS device and i still have it... but its only when i use my 16gb san disk memory card
So that is SD card issues for yourself then,
intrestingly ive worked out that if i fill up my card a couple of hundred MB more i dont have the issue, take the files off again and it has problems, So ive run it through some tests and there is nothing wrong with it, i can only assume that for one reason or another the OS does not like a particular portion of the card...even though i cant find any issues with it, all i can assume is that there is some performance issue in that sector, not enough to create errors on the PC but below what WP is needing.
Wow that's strange... And yes, I can replicate the same situation consistently. It's always Data for some reason. I just can't tell if it's upload or down
Ok one thing I do notice... It will reboot MUCH easier with specific radios. Others will last much longer before they reboot.
try dumping a few 100MB of music on, if its anything like mine it may be enough to get it working,
To be honest there is so many different stories on here with various issues, including one from myself i dont think there can be a single answer, if a different radio works better than thats one step, try filling more of your SD that another step, keep building it up until you get somewhere, dont think there is much more i can suggest im afraid, sorry!

[Q] Issue with phone memory

Greetings all
I have a HD2 running Android. The ROM is DL DesireZ v2 internal. software number 1.72.466.4
I am at an understanding there is a new version out but the flash I have atm is 100% working besides one thing....the phone memory.
When I first flashed it I had loads of phone memory, I think it was like what, 150mb?
But I downloaded lots of apps, even used the Apps2Sd app to save space on the phone memory.
So after a while, I ran out of phone memory, how? I have no idea.
I have deleted all the apps I had and I still have <10mb space on my phone memory and I can not find ANYTHING on the phone memory taking up this space.
Anyone else have this issue?
My gf is going nuts at me over this, she said she may as well have the Win 6.5 back on it, since she had no apps anyways
Cheers,
Gib
yea i have the same problem..
all my apps are installed on my sd card or my ext3 partition.
still i have very little phone memory available.
somehow it looks like the phone is saving the app on the phone but then moving it to the sd card without removing it on the phone memory and causing data loss?
also when updating an app i just lose a lot of internal memory..
how is it possible that there are a lot of people with this problem (i searched the forums) and nobody know an answer to this?

Storage Space Issues

Hi I have been having issues with running out of storage space on my new S5 and was wondering if anyone here knew of any good apps to help me out that wouldn't involve me loosing my precious media files as I dont have a pc at the moment and have nothing else to store these files on, I know you can compress files on a pc and was wondering if there is any good apps out there for this ? another way Ive thought of would be to get a app like ccleaner but for my phone and again does anyone know of any good apps for this ? If anyone else has any ideas or knows of any other ways I would be able to save storage space, also doesn't matter if the apps are paid or not but I won't be rooting my phone for awhile yet.
Any help/advice etc is greatly appreciated and my phone is only a 16GB with a 32GB sd card (Yes Ive realised this isn't enough but can't afford a bigger sd card yet)
BTW I dont know a whole hell of alot about this phone yet
Try Clean Master.
The stock storage manager in the stock settings works pretty well foe the internal sd card, breaks down everything by whats taking what, even lets you clear the cache.

You should try clearing cache. I had a similar storage problem on my S3 Mini and when I cleared cache, boom, everything was back to normal

S7 Edge 32gb (Exynos) (No root) accidentally formatted adaptive storage.

Hi all, hoping anyone could help me. I have an Exynos s7 edge launch version, (32gb) Which has never been rooted, and has had a 256gb micro SD used as adaptive storage.
Lately, large apps have not been able to install, with the phone constantly saying the phone is full, even though the micro SD is not full, with well over 50 -100 gb free on the external card which should be used with the adaptive storage.
I tried to re-migrate the data to fix the problem, and selected export or whatever the option there is, and the damn phone reformatted the SD card without asking me if I wanted to format.
Obviously this has ruined the adaptive storage, and screwed much of my data.
I had backed up bare basics with helium, but months of data and photos are not backed up.
Now I can't even open my camera, I am feeling somewhat sick and am very worried all of my photos of my family and all of the books and game data I had is gone.
Is there a way to solve this disaster?
I thought this thread may help anyone else who is in a similar bind, as I could not find anything about this particular problem by googling it.
If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it, are deleted data recovery programs and completely starting again my only options?
Where do I go from here? Thanks for reading this thread, and for any help offered.
Samsung must have really been joking when offering only 32gb and no supported adaptive storage on a beast of a phone like the s7.
Bumping this thread if anyone can help, still trying to fix my phone. Removed the SD card that contained the adaptive storage, and have not done any more to the SD card with the phone since the phone formatted it.
I attempted several data recovery programs on windows 7, but have yet to recover anything much. Just files in formats that are not very recognisable to me.
Anyone know if data can be recovered from the SD card the S7 formatted which contained the adaptive storage?
It is easy enough to recover data from a formatted hdd, but I do not know if data can be recovered from a formatted micro SD with Android OS. Does anyone know if it similar to the stripes on a RAID array? Is the data split between the internal sdd and the external?
This question has had 77 views and no responses, if anyone has some detailed knowledge they can share, I would appreciate it.
The S7 gave no warning it was going to format the drive, it just said it had completed the format. Is there any way back from this? I cannot even get the camera to start anymore, and a lot data and photos and game data and pdfs was lost.
If something concrete and verifiable could be marked down in this thread, it could help other people who have this problem, as Samsung seems unwilling to support a feature many people need.
