[Q] com.skype-raider-2.apk Failure invalid install location - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While installing Skype (and also YouTube) app on my Android 4.0 and trying to send it to an SD card, I am permanently getting com.skype-raider-2.apk Failure invalid install location message.
I can't see in Apps the Send to TF Card Button either.
However, they write within the skype-support site:
"If you are running Android 2.2 or higher, then you can install Skype onto your SD card. You can either do this directly or, if you have already downloaded Skype to the phone’s internal memory, you can move the application to your SD card."
Hence, I consider the trouble mentioned as triggered by the com.skype-raider-2.apk app.
How can the problem with com.skype-raider-2.apk be solved, please?

[Q] Applications in Android (2.3) phones

Hello!
I need to know how android phones handle applications being installed in them?
I didn't know if this is phone specific or software specific, so am posting it in both.
I own a Samsung Ace and hope to own an Xperia Play as well.
Now if I install an application, how can I make sure it goes to the SD card instead of the phones internal memory?
For example:
I recently installed Talking Tom Cat 2 on my Ace, when I opened it the first time, it asked me to download a few more files, only when I did I was able to use the application. After that I uninstalled the application using the Task Manager. But where do I delete the other package, or does it get deleted automatically?
Please reply soon.
Thanks.
In some cases it's phone specific and others, it's software specific. Before I explain this, the answer to your question about if the data is deleted automatically, is: for some games/apps, it is, and others, it's not. The data is usually stored on the sd card so you can check to see if you see a folder which was not there previously. Data for games are usually stored directly on the sd card, or the following folders: data/data, android/data, or gameloft/games. Phone's without an sd card slot will have the directory created for the data storage. Phone specific wise is explained in my previous sentence. Software specific wise is of course based on software. Certain roms allow you to choose the default location for apps to be installed to. On stock roms, apps are usually (if not always) installed directly to the internal memory and if the software is Android 2.2 (Froyo) or higher, you'll have the option to move some apps to the sd card.

[Q] Can't download from browser or new HTC update (EVO 3D)

Hey all,
So i'm having a problem with my phone. I cannot download anything off the browser or the latest htc update. I've been having the browser issue. It hasn't affected me too much so i didn't bother investigating it. However, now i cannot download the latest HTC security update. Whenever i try to download anything from the browser it always says "download unsuccessful." Now when i try to download the HTC update, it gives me a little more information and says:
"SD card not ready. You need an SD card to download the system update. Please insert an SD card and press of to start the download, or press Cancel to exit."
Now to answer the obvious questions:
Yes, I have an SD card. It's a class 2 Samsung 16GB.
I have 10.6 GB free space on the card
I have all my apps stored on the card, as well as my pics, vids, documents, etc.
Everything else that revolves around the card functions perfectly - apps, pics, etc.
I have taken it out, put it back in, reboot, unmounted, mounted.
Any ideas??? I think both issues are related but its all over my head.
I'm stock Android - 2.3.4, 2.08.651.2

[Q] 4.2 JB Multi-user and external storage

Hello everyone,
I have just updated my ASUS Smart MemoPad 10 to 4.2 JB, and started playing around with the multi-user feature. Then I noticed that the first account turns out to be the "owner", while all other additional accounts are treated as "secondary".
First problem encountered: Google Talk won't start under any secondary account. Vaguely, "Only the owner of this device can use this application" message appears. Other Google apps work though.
Another major issue: external storage! After inserting a mirco-SDHC, I had to reboot the device before it was recognized. And then again, only the primary account can see it. When logged in under the secondary account, the "Settings > Storage" wouldn't even list the sd-card. And therefore, other users will not be able to access media files, ebooks, or anything else from the external storage.
I read that:
Each user must have their own isolated primary external storage, and must not have access to the primary external storage of other users.
The /sdcard path must resolve to the correct user-specific primary external storage based on the user a process is running as.
Has anyone seen this issue, too? How can I make an isolated primary external storage? Do I have to insert different physical cards depending on who is logged in?
Is there an app for that?
Thanks!
I really wished someone had an answer here. I got the same SD card problem and don't have a clue how to access it. Did you come right?

[Q] my phone's internal memory has been set to "read-only"

This is happening to me. Any help on how to set interneal memory to read and write. i cannot save any file to my phone from any apps.
I'll apreciate your help.
"Let me first apologize for the length of this but hopefully someone will be able to help. I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 running 4.4.2. I recently attempted to use CMInstaller to load Cyanogenmod (I use otter1 on my Kindle and love Cyanogenmod and I really dislike Samsung's OS and bloatware) but it failed. It would get to the point of "Loading OS" and then the android picture on my phone was laying flat with a red triangle over its chest (I'm guessing that means error). CMInstaller then completed and said everything was successful. My S3 then gave me two yes/no questions but no matter what I answered, it eventually just returned to the stock Samsung OS with no root or superuser. From what I have been reading, this is due to Knox and I need to root my phone and remove Knox. I've found several helpful forums on xda-developers on rooting my phone and deleting Knox.
My issue though is that apparently somehow my phone's internal memory has been set to "read-only" or affected in some other way. The phone still works as a phone and it has allowed me to install apps and I can transfer files to and from both the internal memory and the SD card using my computer. But I've noticed that some apps are acting very strangely.
Amazon Kindle: will not download any books or register that I transferred ebooks to the Kindle folder (and yes, they are in the right folder and the right formats). When I attempt to download a book, the pull down menu for the phone gives me an error of "N/A - Download unsuccessful. Tap to try again." When I tap on that, it goes to a download screen that just sits there and does nothing. If I click on the book in the Kindle app it gives me an error of "Unable to Download. A network connection is required to download your Kindle title. Please connect to a network and try again." During these errors I have network connection (I am able to get online using the Dolphin browser) and have tried multiple different wifi networks and Sprint's network in many different geographical locations. I have tried using my wife's Amazon account on my phone with the exact same result.
Dolphin browser: Will not download anything to the internal memory (immediately results in a "Download unsuccessful") and fails to recognize my external SD card (when attempting to choose it as a download location it displays the message "Can't find file or directory. Please make sure your SD card is ready, and USB Mass Storage is turned off.") My phone is not connected to my computer during this.
Google Drive: Immediately fails to download any file.
doubleTwist: When attempting to set the music location to internal memory, doubleTwist says "It appears that your device has been set to read-only." Can access the SD card and play music found there.
All of the stock Samsung applications can access both internal memory and the SD card with no problem. The camera can save pictures to the internal memory and the SD card, the stock browser can save files with no problems, the voice recorder can record and save without issue and My Files can move, copy and delete files on both the SD card and the internal memory. It could argued that I just use Samsung's apps but I hate Samsung's apps and most of the time there are all hidden/disabled.
All of this started after CMInstaller failed. Is there any way to fix this? More importantly will this stop me from (or mess up) rooting my phone, obliterating Knox and loading Cyanogenmod? Part of me just wants to leave the phone as is since it still works (for the most part) but another, bigger part of me wants to remove Samsung's hold on my phone even more than before."
Hi,
I will have your thread moved to your device section so those that own your device can help.
Good luck!
Problably your problems are caused by CM-installer. Espec., because it tries to change recovery, too. Very comfortable, very fragile. I suggest to rebuild everything. You loose all your settings and data except those on extSdCard. Btw: there is no Knox on S3.
Save your data, as much as possible.
DownloadMode. Flash the newest firmware with Odin.
RecoveryMode. FactoryReset.
You should have a working system now. If yes:
DownloadMode. Root with cfAutoRoot and Odin.
Flash TWRP2.8.1.0 with Odin.
FullWipe. Flash any custom-rom, you want. FactoryReset.

[Help!!!] Lost access to internal storage after flashing the TWRP and official ROM

I've downloaded the lastest official ROM, and installed it within TWRP.
Everything seemed to be okay after rebooting into the system.
While I found i was not able to download the wallpaper from web browseror to take pictures due to lack of storage.
I'm not able to upload pictures here, so will try my best to describe the situations:
1. after opening camera, it pops out "Turn off camera? /n Insert an SD card before using the camera. /n Cancel or Turn off"
2. when i try to save something from web browser, it says "couln't save due to limited storage space."
3. opening the file manager, I do find internal storage shown at the bottom, indicating 50.20 GB/total 64.00 GB. But opening it, only two folders appear, namely "Android" and "TWRP".
I wondered if it was caused by some read-only issue to the system drive, but I did allow TWRP to modify the system partition upon booting the rec.img.
I've tried a few rounds, the problem is still there. and my yota 3 is kind of a brick to me now.
Help me, please.
My yota3+ also lost the ability to write to the internal memory (possibly after I've inserted a sd card and decline formatting it). Searching for a solution only come up with a very old thread on HTC which involved commands on a rooted phone like msdos_fcsk and restorecon. I couldn't try these commands as my phone is not rooted. You can try these if your phone is rooted.
