Is a virus stopping certain app installs on my gs5 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Wondering if a certain virus is stopping certain applications from installing on my gs5. How would I know vs if my internal memory is failing?

Can you be more specific?

I've never heard of a virus doing that, particularly on Android at that. The only way I can think of that would get you some results is to factory reset and see if the issues persist, or if you're rooted install another rom and see. These are the only ways in can think of to narrow it down.

It also happens when you have a cracked version of an app and you try to install another app from the same developer and thus the developer blocks the installation of it's other apps

most google and mainstream apps install
others say they ran out of space
did the facotyr install and another rom. ithink my internal memory is failign but my knox counter is up. samsung woudl repair this for free if it weren't. wow $250 on a gs5 on swappa and 2 years later its gone down the ****ter.
Any other advice? Most places charge $130 to replace the motherboard

Which gapps package are you using? If you're using > nano gapps there is a possibility for the system partition to be full.
Do a clean ROM flash with nano gapps. If the problem still exist tell me which ROM you are on.
Cheers !

Damn didnt' think of that....haven't had a problem like that since Android 2.x on my motorola droid. Using Ressurection Remix. Def don't use nano
Update: WOW. Wtf so I did wiep system, but remember doing it before? Instead I solved a problem many might be getting a new phone for and dishing out hundreds for it, thinking their internal memory is bad
Solution: For anyone reading this. I had previously, some time ago switched my external sd card to shared internal storage (VERY bad- dont do this, expandable memory like an sdhc card is NOT made for a lot of read/writes and it will ruin it). So if the internal memory under under settings->memory reads 'shared' FORGET the external memory card....this resulted in my internal sd card being read properly, not being read as USB mounted and a plethora of ****ty problems
EXTREMELY poor design by google that the internal 'shared memory' ghosted over from rom to rom even!
Will robustly test this over the next few days and get back

[Q] Low on Space?

Regardless of what I do, how many apps I uninstall, how many apps I downgrade, or how many "sacrifices"(lol) I make, my phone keeps populating the internal space and giving me a Low on Space message which keeps me from installing/updating or doing anything really. Last night I had 104mb free, now I have 48mb, all I did was sleep.
I'm running a V6 Supercharger script and thats really all I can think about that would be causing these problems.
I use app2sd to move all the apps I can over.
A virus? It would be a first for me on android.
I'm using a Huawei Mercury with the leaked "factory" 4.0.1 install. I performed the upgrade about 4 months ago and haven't had problems until maybe a month ago. Maybe a hard reset, or factory data reset and a reinstallation of everything will resolve it, but i'm afraid of it happening again.
I have 1gb allocated to the rom/apps, and then 2gb internal storage that I just don't use.
I've fixed the problem a few times and it just happens again, any help would be greatly appreciated! :crying:

Is what i do about once a month is format my sd card and re-partition it,this keeps the access trash(files,apps,etc.)from cluttering everything up,you using app2sd isnt going to be enough,as soon as you run out of allocated space in your ext.it will start using your internal,hence the low space warning.Nand your existing rom,then backup everything up to your desktop,format your entire phone sd card and all,reinstall the app2sd,then restore your nand.If your still having this problem,then its either an app thats installed or the rom.

The phone has a 1GB for the rom, 2GB Internal, and a 16GB SD.
I don't understand how to keep the 1GB partition from mysteriously filling up regardless of how much I delete.
I always though the apps were suppose to go to the 2GB internal phone partition but they are right along side the ROM, that confuses me. I wish there was a way to truly delete built in apps and not just "disable" them.
Do u use 4g? I heard of problems with it saving cache stuff then not clearing it out.

I've been trying to figure out just how to root this thing. I picked one up on sale, and while limited, it seems alright for the price. That 1GB app install storage partition is super annoying though. I'm willing ti live with it but only if I can root the thing... What method did you use to root it???
I used Kingo root, you have to install the SDK drivers and roots it. I've installed xposed moduals they work fine as well. Where I'm stuck is how to install a custom recovery like cwm or twrp. Any help on this from someone would be appreciated. Not much info for this tablet. On a side note is there any cm ROMs for this tab.
For what it's worth, I was eventually able to root the thing without having to locate a compatible ROM by using a free windows application called MoboGenie .. once the program is installed and loaded on your Windows PC, connect the device via USB, and give it about 5-10 minutes to find and install the driver it needs (MoboGenie did this all automatically, just took a little time). Once it does, it should start populating the screen with details about the connected device. In the Toolbox section (down the left side), there is a "Root" button. Click it and then confirm and it pushes SU onto the device automatically... Takes about 2 minutes. Then you disconnect the device and reboot it... After that, it's persistently rooted! You can even unroot by following the same steps in MoboGenie (if you click on "Root" again and confirm, it simply removes the root from the device - too easy!)
I tried it (just for fun) with a Samsung Note 3, but MoboGenie could not root that device, so clearly its powers are limited; however it works perfectly with the Hipstreet Phoenix, so I'm happy

Oh and to help conserve precious app data space, I found that, after rooting, the Lucky Patcher app does a seamless job of moving app data "to sd card" which basically results in moving the data to the larger partition. You can do this as a batch action in Lucky Patcher, or one by one.
One note though - I foolishly bought a 32GB microSD card to leave in the tablet full time, but the tablet unmounts the damn thing pretty much any time it's put on standby, and you have to deliberately tell it to mount the card every time you want to use it. This means it's hopeless for putting app data onto a microSD card on these tablets... which sucks, but oh well.
Next time, I'm buying a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet... they're by far the best tablets (and phones) on the market, and though they're not cheap, you definitely get what you pay for!

That's why I ended up using Mobogenie -- couldn't find a ROM that worked with it.
On a side note, the first Phoenix tablet I had, after rooting with Mobogenie, I used Android Tuner and applied the Partition Trim function.. it seemed to work until I rebooted the device and it went into an infinite boot loop. Seems the device is REALLY easy to corrupt, and the trim effectively bricked it. I contacted Hipstreet and got them to replace it under warrantee (cost me nothing, too). Just if you DO go that route, don't mention what you did, just tell them it bricked itself.

Ok
1st off I just bought my 1st tablet and it was this one. I instantly fell in love with it thinking I had found some great deal. Then after having it for about a week I started getting the insufficient storage message. I was about to return it when I found this thread. I used mobogenie to root it. THIS WAS SO EASY especially since I'm a noob. I installed lucky patcher from google play store but it didnt give me the option to move to sd card. So I used Link2SD. Which works fine on all the apps I have downloaded but not the apps native to the OS.
So my questions are
How do I get rid of the apps native to the OS? And/or move them to the external SD which the device calls NAND flash.
Even with moving the apps to SD which is the partitioned storage space(NAND Flash) I can only download apps to the limited internal storage before I can then move them using LinkSD. So say I want to download hearthstone which is 707 mb, and too large for the internal storage space. Is there a way to download it to the NAND Falsh section directly?
I also bought a external 64GB sd card cause one of my friends said that would fix the problem. How do I download a large game directly to that with this Tablet?
Am I asking too much of this tablet? Should I just keep it for a bit to get used to tablets then upgrade to a more expensive monster in a few months? Im having so much fun so far messing with it I kind of just it to be my Frankenstein and play with it till it breaks......errr I mean Bricks.
Please help me get my nerd on,
Im officially a enthusiast

I use TitaniumBackup with my rooted device. It makes freezing, detaching from market (so they won't update themelves), and removing system apps really easy.

I have found no ways to re-allocate the app space partition and yeah, large apps are never going to install, but smaller apps seem to work as long as we move to SD immediately after any installs or updates.

You cannot. I did the same thing, but I find you have to MANUALLY mount the SD card every time you want to access it - as soon as you put it to sleep, it unmounts the damn external card. This makes it USELESS for app installs... just data like videos, music, etc... even then, it's a pain.

You're lucky then I contacted support through that lame-ass support app that only sometimes connects to their system, and was told point-blank that there is no way to re-allocate the install space (the 1gb area) to make more basic room.
In the end, I disabled all automatic Play updating for all apps (I check and apply them manually instead, as it eats precious install space.) I use LuckyPatcher for moving all app to SD one installed, and TitaniumBackup to remove unnecessary pre-installed stuff. Bummer is, no big games, ever..
Hello all.
I am having the same issues.
I have a 16GB Phoenix Hipstreet, stuck in a boot loop.
I can't load TWRP or anything else, as I am a novice user..
However, that program MOBOGENIE sounds like what I need, however after searching everywhere, I can't find a trust worthy looking source to download, as many have been de-listed due to not being supported or something anymore.
This sounds like it would fix my problems in a heart beat.
Does any one have access to an installer?
I've tried all I can think of.
Thanks in advance.

"There is insufficient space on the device"

Hi,
I am having this error whenever I try to install any app from play store. May I know the reason please, and how to fix it?
Try some anti virus.
In normal cases, there are only 2 reasons for this,
Memory full because of users own stuff (very rare)
Or because of a virus (most of the cases)
What is ur device model by the way???
In some old devices, apps installed on phone memory also occupies space and make this happen.
Remove bloatware from your phone. Maybe that will help.

Wipe data of Google Play Store.
Use Cleaner in Security app or use SD Maid by downloading 'apk' from Google. Else wipe data of play store
I did everything, still it didnt work
anything else?
Use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.diskusage&hl=en
Send a screenshot of your disk usage, may not have space allocated to internal data where apps are stored, may have room on phone but space is allocated to something else

Here you go man!
I assume you are rooted as you are running miui, use the same app to check other partitions such as /cache
The way apps are downloaded from the play store there has to be some room there too, problem may be partition size
Also it may help running a logcat during the download process and follow the error
My phone is not rooted. I flashed CWM through Command prompt (some kind of program). Then I flashed MIUI from CWM.
When I looked for cache, it gave me this error (in attachment).
Try going into cwm and wiping cache and dalvik and also clear data in play store
If you can pull a logcat that would be great too

THL 4400 No internal space - please anyone try and help

Ok treat me as a complete noob. Got the phone as cheap but soon regretted due to no internal space. seen a couple of things on the net saying there is a custom rom that makes the phone think the sd card is its internal memory but i cant get the rom.
Can any one help?
I do have a kernal as well that is meant to do the same but no idea how to get this on the phone. As far as aware its rooted but thats it, failed to adb load a recovery as it says the partition cannot be flashed.
any help please?

There is a much easier way now.. You can convert the portable storage SDcard to an adoptable sdcard which merges with the system. Now originally converted the portable storage to adoptable thinking it would move more apps to the sdcard and leave more free space. But it in reality did not do much more than manually moving the apps to the sdcard. So I ended up with 1GB or so of free internal memory.. But all the memory free and how much memory was present was screwed up because it says I have like 64gb memory when I only have 16gb and 32gb so total 48gb.. And it only showed the free memory of either the internal or the sdcard. And no google program allowed me to move it to the sdcard.. So all that work and having to reinstall everything and add in the accounts and such were rather useless.. Other than to see that samsung does have the option to format something as portable or adoptable.. Using the ADB shell ofcourse..
here you can add part of the sdcard to the adoptable memory and the rest as regular sdcard memory.. Rather pointless actually other than the adoptable memory is encrypted and unreadable on the pc using a card reader..
Using the ADB shell in the command within a windows command window.. I use TCC which is a replacement command.com for windows from long ago and works like the unix shell.. Microsoft has changed the command.com to cmd.com now and you can bring it up by typing CMD into the search programs and files window.
Type sm list-disks and record the disk IDs that come up like disk:179,64
use the format sm partition DISK:TYPE:RATIO to change the type...
Enter the disk ID where it says DISK, TYPE is either ‘private’ to adopt the entire microSD card or ‘mixed’ to use a portion of it. RATIO is only used if you select mixed. So a command would be something like: ‘sm partition disk:182:160 private’ to adopt the entire storage. Or ‘sm partition disk:182:160 mixed 50’ to adopt 50% of the microSD card.
sm partition disk:179,64 private
sm partition disk:179:64 mixed 50
also the command adb shell pm set-install-location 2
Which is supposed to set the location of the downloaded installs to the sdcard.. Which also does not really do much..
Now the command to turn that portable sdcard to adoptable..
adb shell sm set-force-adoptable true
would format the sdcard as adoptable.. Supposed to let you format it from the control panel and let you select portable or adoptable etc but not so.. You only get the option to format is as portable..
But internally it does have the option even if you normally cant get to it..
Well samsung pushed a new update from oct 18th and I got it a few days ago.. It was available for many months in like new zealand for some reason.. The oct update is named T355YDOU1BPJ1.. Since the last update was only a month before I was surprised as once its past an year samsung dont really care about such things.. so 2 updates in 3 months is kind of a shock..
Well anyway the update was like 440mb in size or the full mage is like 1.5gb.. It took over 15 minutes for it to re flash all the system files and over an hour to play with the apps.. so fully charge the device first..
I had the pixel launcher and it kept on crashing.. So went back to google now launcher which seemed stable.. And the tab was extremely slow to do anything.. For most things this is a rather fast tab even if the cpu is lame and slow at 1.2ghz only.. But for normal use it is fast for most things.. Sure wished I could go back.. I had it running for more than 2 days on a single charge by now.. Not really using it heavily but from a day it going to over 2 days is nice.. It gives almost 7-8 hours or playing or watching movies otherwise anyway.. Now the CPU was stuck above 50% and rebooting and all that after all the work was depressing..
But anyway now it is stable.. no reboots and speed seems to have come back to normal..
Now why would I post all this here.. Well that is because I just went and checked the free memory.. and WOW.. 3.5GB..... So it was migrating data off the internal memory to the adoptable sdcard memory before when it was acting up.. Yes that is an option now that shows up when you go to th storage internal memory option and once you use that ADB command to change it from portable to adoptable.. And it has given me an extra 2.5Gb of free memory.. How I dont know.. google still dont allow you to move their stuff to sdcard. Neither does microsoft and some others..
I suppose this new update actually moves the data part of those apps that does allow you to move them to sdcard to really move it to the sdcard like adoptable storage..
Well I dont know if this update also does the same thing with portable memory.. But before the data still stayed mostly in the internal memory even if the app could be moved to the sdcard.. OR the data was still in internal memory even after you moved it to the sdcard and there was a bug which never deleted the data from the android secure storage area and still took up space..
Apps like whatsapp wont let you move it to the sdcard now.. It could be moved before but the widgets would not work..
So those looking for debloated roms and such.. this might be a quick fix.. You can download the firmware yourself and use odin to flash it if you did not get the OTA.. I dont feel like voiding the warrenty on something that works so well.. Rooting and such is a real pain unless you want to spend a lot of time playing with things. But rooting and using titanium backup also lets you delete old system apps and replace it with new updates in the system partition and not use up valuable internal memory area.. Or it allows you to get rid of it entirely.. Just the Microsoft stuff takes up like a gb of space and they are useless apps all tied to online and their account and such. I suppose I am preparing myself for when the warranty runs out to root and get another 2gb of free space or so. by getting rid of the useless bloated apps but until then the 3.5gb of free internal memory will suffice. The sdcard has disappeared now from lock screen security and encrypt sd card says no sdcard present. and the entire memory is now encrypted.

ps..my wife has a tab4 with a 64gb sdcard and even though it gives 2gb of free space out of the 8gb internal memory.. The facial recognization stay awake keeps storing useless pics and filling up the space even when the function is not used.. So every week have to delete 10,000 files to make space as it keeps saying no memory.. So samsung does not always fix bugs.. even though they pushed a security update earlier in the year for a 3 year old device.. it is like the little brother to this one and actually works much better if they fixed all the problems as this one is too big to carry around all day.. But this one is great when looking at maps travelling.
