[Q] Having read/write errors, any advice? [Solved] - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I am experiencing a problem, please if anyone can help.
When I tried to open QuickPic, there is a popup saying that "Not an Error. Unable to Read/Write in Database" something like that.
When i try to open Gallery, I can't even open the app. It says memory full, delete some application, etc.
When i take a screenshot via power + home, it says Unable to save screenshot, try delete some space etc.
When i try to send a image over whatsapp it says cannot preview image.
I have plenty of space in my internal and external sd card, i have cleaned the caches, wipe app data etc, fixed permissions in recovery but no luck.
Any other solutions?
I am on Neat rom 4.8 lite. Thanks
Solved
Okay i found the problem, basically i connected my s2 to a tv via usb to play movies, the tv installed a corrupted read only folder on my internal storage, not sd card, which was the culprit, after deleting that folder with the unlocker application on pc sorted the problem out. Thanks everyone for helping.

Backup entire sd card (internal + external) to pc then in cwm format sd card internal+external and restore files back
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with HassanROM and latest DorimanX 8.xx kernel

Before you do anything could you post a screenshot of your settings->storage->Device Memory, I just need to confirm whether it's a bug or something.
Edit:After looking at that we could probably fix the problem.

after a thorough backup I strongly suggest you a wipe data factory reset

I cannot take screenshots as its one of the problems but on the device memory screen it says:
Total Storage
1.97GB
Applications
0.89GB
Available:
1.02GB
Does that help? Thanks
P.s. On a side note, when i use the stock file manager, i can access all the files on both internal and external sd.

Hmm so it's some kind of bug, could you open files and create folders and files or basic cut copy paste operations using file management apps in your sd card?
Edit :try both the stock and third party apps.

It may be a bug i am not sure, I can create folders and do cut paste actions. I also just now restored a nandroid backup of previous rom which was working fine, but the problem still persists.
I guess i will have to do a clean install of a rom again from scratch? any other possible precautions to take before i start this process? thanks

Use a nuke script perform a complete wipe data/cache/dalvik, restore rom.
Edit : The precautions are the usual things which you did when you flashed neatrom. You will have to backup everything in a computer though . After the wipe just mount the sd card via recovery and copy your backup back.

It could possibly be the problem, if the device drivers got corrupted due to that usually a reflash could solve the problem, try flashing with several different roms and kernels if this ain't anything at hardware level it should get fixed.

Hi all,
Hope your well.
Im having the same issue too when trying to install apps. Exactly the same message. just over 6GB available in storage.
Im trying to install friendcaster no luck.
Tried to install you tube too, no luck. I have checked data/apps and I have no Odex files in there. Also, I have not installed friendcaster before on this phone therefore there will not likely to be any odex files for that app.
I am on Omega Rom, which is deodexed.
Btw, where is internal storage gone? only see SD storage and ExSd storage.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks guys

Having odex files is the issue that comes to mind but if you have checked it and there isn't any related to friendcaster then u should try wiping cache n dalvik to see if that works.

Salaam bro.
Thanks for your response.
This may sound silly but I was trying to think back a few days ago if I had made any system like changes to my phone. I then remembered that in one of the settings menu in Rom Toolbox, there is an option to choose where to install apps. Auto,internal or SD card. I changed it from Auto to SD,thinking (logically) it would save internal storage. It turns out (so far)that this was the issue. I changed it back to auto and then I was able to install the app. Wierd I know. Im confused. I hant tried to install anymore apps yet so not sure if this is sorted for good but will keep an eye out.
Once again thank you for taking time out to respond.
Btw, all the best for Ramadhan!! (next month!!)

U shouldn't need to install apps to external as u have a lot of memory this time around n u can also use a lot of software to move game data to external sd and run them from there by Binding the directories.

If you use that naughty luckypatcher program it can cause the out of space message as well when you try to install some programs.

[Q] Where is the memory gone?

In the device memory, despite the memory of 414MB used by applications (out of 2GB) ,the available is only 505MB.
Where is it gone?
Big question is "How can i get it back?"
Additional - ICS 4.0.3 (I777UCLE5) ,Rooted
EDIT : I found in root explorer, /data/log has occupied 514 MB (of the 2 GB device storage).
Is it an important folder or can i just delete it?
Ok you mention memory. Are we taking about memory or STORAGE space? ?

That's strange, did you repartition anything? I would also not depend on the information you get from touchwiz. Try installing a 3rd party app to verify this is the case.

Look at the contents of the folder. If there are only logs - you can delete (the logs, not the folder). If not - post the contents here (filenames and respective sizes).

I went ahead and deleted the folder.....
I got much storage back. 1.2GB free now.
( After reboot it formed a new "log" folder without any log files....)
I found other folder "data/lost+found" consuming nearly 350MB.Can i delete this one too?
So in the end, what did we learn from this? Search through your phone with a file explorer app and delete anything unnecessary. Don't know if its important? Google the file name or directory name. I'm sure someone somewhere has wondered the same thing be4 you did. I'm glad you got your issue resolved bud. Good luck, happy flashing.
I'm not going to delete the "lost+found" folder.1.2GB is suffice for me now.Why mess-up?

[Q] Application not installed

Hi guys, I have a Noot Tablet 16 GB using CM10.1.
I installed an app and then uninstalled using Titanium Backup.
No I'm trying to install it again and every time I try I get "Application not installed".
How can I solve this?
Re-install it through the play-store, then just restore "app data" through TB.

I can't. First it's not a play store app, and second, I don't have a backup.
How did you install it in the first place?
Edit. Ok, re-reading op, I assume you originally side loaded an apk file, un-installed it (without backing up) through TB, and are now trying to re-side load the app? Assuming this is all true, are you using the same original download file from the first install?

Yes, I download the APK, installed, test it, uninstalled with TB (because I was using it and I remember that I need to uninstall that APK, so I kill two birds with one stone), try to reinstall very same APK, always fail.
I assume you are rooted and have custom recovery. If so, go into CWM/TWRP, wipe cache and dalvik-cache then try installing. Also, before doing any of that go into settings under security and make sure you have unknown sources checked.
Good luck

Ok, I have one more thing to try. Go into both internal and external sd cards, find android/data, within data erase any file associated with that apk. This should clear all remnants of that apk file from you nt. It will be closer to the state it was in when you first installed the app.
Sorry if I couldn't help.

What app is it? If it's available on the Play Store install the app there. As for the the previous uninstalled app there must be parts left behind. Look around in your File Manager. For now on use the settings to uninstall apps.

[Q] Insufficient storage when trying to update to newest Google Play Store

I've been searching the webs for hours trying to fix this all I get is ''Out of space insufficient storage Available try clearing some space and try again'' I have the old 3.10 Google Play store and I want to update to 4.0.26 any step by step instructions on how to this? thanks
Have you actually tried clearing some apps or media off the internal storage?

I guess you're on original stock rom non-rooted then. If so, forget all I said. Try wiping cache/dalvik-cache in recovery. Its in the I9300 xda wiki how to get there. If that doesn't help I don't know...
