I don't know if it's just on my folio, but I seem to be losing things stored on on both internal and sd card. This is mainly media (music and video). Has anyone else had any problems?
Anyone got any ideas as to anything I might be able to do to stop this?
I didn't put this in the new issues/bugs thread because it's been happening since the original stock rom.
Thanks in advance
Do you mean that you are loosing files randomly?
This could be a hardware problem.

Yes, it's quite frustrating really. I was hoping it was something software related.

Weird thing I've noticed: I've been using the Erebos theme, flashing it over both Axura and Bionix. After flashing (so, with a fresh system), I've copied a few mp3 files from my system to my phone. I've played them via the music player, and then I've set them for my notifications (a song for my ringtone, a sound effect for my SMS. Both as mp3 sounds).
After a day or so, though, my system stops recognizing them as valid audio files. First, the ringtone defaults to silent because it's set to the MP3 but the system no longer recognizes the file. After I've noticed that, I've gone into the music player, which informs me that it no longer recognizes the file.
After some troubleshooting, it appears that setting the phone to silent is what has caused it. I've done that via the dropdown menu the lock screen. The system seems to re-recognize the files after a reboot, but not after simply going from silent to not-silent.
Anyone else ever heard of this? Is there any work around? The idea of rebooting my phone after I put it on silent is kind of irritating...
Never had this issue, and I've gone through this same process before. Has it only occured on new ROMs? (If they're not already) have you tried placing on your internal SD card?
If placing on your internal SD card, it may be a problem with your external SD.

Those are the only two roms I've used. Might have to try a third, I guess. I've actually not been using an external SD lately. Not even a card in the slot. Maybe I should try one in there, see if that fixes it.

Tried using a 16gb sd card today, but didn't notice a difference. Any guidance? Change roms? Different kernel?
Oddly enough, I have had the same issue, and I'm really glad you posted this thread, as my troubleshooting didn't get as far as isolating to putting my phone on silent. I will definitely try to leave it off of silent for a few days and see if that makes a difference.
I had this problem with KB5 released by Samsung, then had the same problem using Trigger, which is built off of KB5. It's possible that it is a bug in KB5, but obviously, not many people seem to be hitting it, so who knows...
Edit - just noticed that you had the same problems with Bionix and Axura, which I don't think are KB5, so there goes my theory...
I am also having the same exact problem. I am using bionix 1.3.2. I have Odin'd back to stock and re-installed but that didn't solve my problem. I believe this also causes other functions to stop working, like you tube. Therefore, many people have this same problem but have been putting it under many topics. Does anyone know a solution to this?

I would hardly say it HAS to be hardware. It could be any range of other software related things, such as settings we use or apps we have installed.
Here are the things that make it seem NOT hardware related-
-Rebooting fixes it. That doesn't eliminate hardware, but it's evidence against it.
-It seems to impact local audio files whether they are system sounds, or MP3s stored on any on-board storage, which doesn't seem like a hardware issue.
-It also impacts streamed audio, since when I'm in the bug state, it impacts amazon cloud player, pandora AND youtube.
I would say it's possibly hardware in that "anything's possible" sort of way, but I think it's more likely to be software. That is not to say it's the particular ROMs or kernels we're running - more likely the way we have some settings set or apps configured, etc.
Recently I've been having a real bad experience with the Android Media Server, I know of the Rescan Media Server app that kills the service but that's not what I'm after. I know this problem plagues a lot of Android users and some might not even know that this is happening to their phones!
Is there a sure and permanent way to fix this problem? Like maybe an app to repair the corrupted files on the phone?
Formatting your SD card might help but with phones like the HTC One with non removable storage, having a corrupted file will be disastrous! I really hope Google will fix this issue :/
Hi guys... is anyone else getting messages about 'Low Internal Storage' on their device? I have 7GB free, but every time I install an app I get a message like this? Any ideas what may be causing it, because I obviously aren't low on storage?!

Well not sure, but isn't there special partition where you install the apps? Meaning if you actually install too many you get this message?
Trying something like APP to SD might fix your problems. I guess you have "few" apps installed right?
Do you have es file explorer installed? I think that is what's causing it on my device. I'm getting it too and it's always wrong

I do and I get these warnings, I havent tried to get it to go under what it says is left though. We should be able to fill our phone with 10GB of games/apps (24GB if you got the 32GB variant), right?
Mmmm...
Thanks for the response guys. I'm glad I'm not on my own. I haven't really got that much installed, and even though I keep getting the message, apps and games keep installing without any issue. As regards ES File Explorer, I do have that installed, but it's set not to show low memory warnings. Perhaps it's just one of those things - it's not causing any problems... yet!
Hi everyone.
So I have an Android car receiver (DV638A, otherwise known as AN6B01). It runs 2.2 Froyo. I've modded it to improve the Android experience, and it's pretty good I must say. I have root permissions, I froze most of the annoying stock apps, installed a custom launcher and some ICS style visuals, etc.
But there's just ONE thing I haven't been able to do that I really want to. I've been researching and experimenting with it for days!
I use Google Play Music (version 5.2 which is the latest supported version for Froyo) and it stores downloaded music to the internal SD card. On this device, the internal SD card is only 2 GB which is not huge. However, it also has a full-size SD card slot, where I can pop in a 128 GB card, as well as a micro SD card slot where I can plug in yet another.
But while the hardware is there, I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET THE MUSIC TO BE STORED ON THE EXTERNAL STORAGE! I've read all kinds of articles and threads that propose how to do it, but none of the methods have worked.
I tried:
A.
Navigating to the current location of the stored music (on this device it's /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music), deleting the 'music' folder and its contents, then making a new 'music' folder on the external SD and creating a symlink to it in the original location. This does not work. My file manager (rootbrowser) tells me that symbolic links are not supported by all filesystems (apparently including this one).
B.
Using the Cache Apps To SD app. The app works, but it does not move the correct files. It takes the cache located at /data/data/com.google.android.music/cache and moves it to the external SD. But that's not where Google Music stores the music, that's only where it stores... other things. The music files at /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music remain untouched, so this is useless.
C.
Moving the Google Play Music app itself to the external storage. To do this I tried both Apps2SD and Link2SD. Both do the same. What happens is the .apk file is moved to the external storage, but it doesn't take any of its files with it.
What do I do to make this work? I feel like doing this on 2.2 should be easy considering its friendliness with external storage, but no matter what I try I can't figure it out. I'd really appreciate someone's help with this one.
P.S. please don't make the obvious suggestion to upgrade to a newer version of Android. I would if that were possible, but it isn't.
Anyone? There's got to be someone who knows what to do with this. I know Android 2.2 is fading into the distant past by now, so I don't expect NEW enthusiasts to know how to use it, but aren't there any veterans on here that remember what they were doing in 2010? As far as I can tell this was a problem many people grappled with on their Galaxy S, Droid X, etc. phones.

Don't you worry about 2.2 fading to nonexistence - I develop on a device that still only supports 2.1!
I'll do some research on this topic, but I don't know if it's possible. It probably is, though, so don't get your feathers ruffled.

I appreciate your help on the matter. Have you found anything yet? What do you think about editing the vold.fstab file and switching the mounting points of the internal and external cards?

Actually, haven't done much research yet - been busy with school stuff. Sorry.
Switching the mount points on the sdcards shouldn't be too much of an issue, but we'd need to actually edit init.rc inside uRamdisk to get it to mount properly on boot.

Is that.... less easy? Your words do not inspire confidence.
Take your time though, midterms are going on after all. Let me know when you can help me out.

Sorry about my uninspiring speech.
It's not that hard, but it'll take some work.
I'll talk to you later. Have a good day.
Oh, I didn't mean any offense by that, I only meant that what you suggest seems difficult. Speak with you soon!

Hi everyone,
My OnePlus 9R often crashes, and it looks like it's related to the internal storage. Read and write operations stop working, to the point where apps won't open and restarting hangs until I do a hard reset.
When I do restart, the same apps always fail in the same ways - mainly apps like Instagram and Sync for Reddit sign me out, indicating that there might be a problem with secure storage?
I think it may be triggered by me using a certain amount of space, though I'm not entirely sure about that.
This happens on custom ROMs as well as on Oxygen OS.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? If there are indeed bad blocks in my internal storage, is there a way to avoid them?
You have a memory leak?

I doubt it, when this happens it will generally keep happening within minutes of rebooting until I go into TWRP and delete some files.
