Apps can't write to sd card - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
I installed note 2 port of 4.4.2 for our s3
But since then any app that write to sd card can't be installed..
I know there are changes done by Google with kit kat
And I have tried to fix this by applying the sd fix apps from play store but still many third party apps can't be installed ..It just says app not installed..
For example subway surfers is not getting installed..
Any work around for this..
Thankyou

simply back up your sd and do a sd wipe through recovery.. I have had the same problem when I installed CM 11 and I fixed in that way..

songs appear twice..

..well hello guys.. i am having a tough time with my galaxy s2.. i am a rom freak .. so i pretty much keep trying roms out... a month and a half back.. my phone started showing songs thrice .. so i reflashed the rom and used kernel cleaners etc.. and the problem disappeared .. but after a few days it came back.. this has been happening even though i have flashed several different roms.. and i always full wipe before flashing... any suggestions..
I think that you need to format your sdcard.. backup the content of it(music,photos,videos,apks) to your pc... Then flash with a full wipe the rom (I suggest ParanoidAndroid) and then format your sdcard with the phone (settings-memory)..

Try delete data of Google media server (setting - app - all) then reboot and let's rest the phone to scan again... I think is a rom aokp bug... sorry for bad english

What music player do you use? I had the same problem and I had to point the music player where the songs where stored as they had been duplicated on my internal SD card. Make sure it is just accessing your music from one directory.
If you use a stock music player, perhaps a data wipe is in place.
Or as suggested, back up your music and any other important files and wipe your SD card or search it till you find the duplicate files.

well i don use stock music player.. i use a number of music players including apollo and sony music player etc.. but all of them seem to show duplicates.. and there isn't any copy of the music files either.. so i guess need to format memory card.. some bug related to aokp rom..
No formatting memory don't resolve, try my method... clear data of Google media server in app... and reboot...

yep.. i store all my music in external sd.. i know... strange problems.. also my screen goes all orange colored sometimes.. with almost most of the roms.. no idea .. what happened.. keep getting bugs which are strange and unheard of..
Change rom & kernel xD btw this problem is "fixed" by clear data of media server & Google framework service but I have fixed this bug only with the first clear data...

A weird problem with my sd card

Hi xdians,
I'm experiencing such a weird problem with my 8gb SD card I guess.
I download a music with mp3 format and I can listen it, but after 5 minutes I can not listen the music, its not recognizing the music, it can't open the music file.
When I download an apk from web I can install it immediately after the download has finished, but after 5 or more minutes I can't install the apk, it says ,, there is error parsing the package" also the icon from the apk is changed into android icon.
One more problem... when I move an app from internal memory to SD card I can open it and play it, but after 5 minutes or so after closing the app, I can not open it again, it instant force close when I'm opening. Also in settings on Manage Applications the icon on the app that has been moved to SD card is removed.
This are the problems I'm facing, every help/opinion is very apprecied.
Thanks a lot!

First of all, backup apps using Titanium backup. Secondly, Backup any data on your SD card to a computer. Format your SD card, restore data and see if that works.

You can still use apps in internal right?
You might have to replace your SD card.
But first Flash stock firmware.
Did this happen all of a sudden? Or did something happen.

Yes in internal I can use apps without any problem.
All of sudden I guess, I'm using custom miui rom with cm7 kernel.
And how do you mean replace my SD card? Use a new one or unmount>format>mount from stock rom?

He means go for new SD card
See if you had tried all possible methods for recovering like formatting and all so if now no option is left then go for new SD Card

[Q] Insufficient space on the device

Hi,
I've got a weird problem whenever I try to install any app from the market, it says 'insufficient space'. I've got a lot of space on each partition. Currently I'm running Vanir ROM 4.4.4, though I encountered this problem on CM11 and Paranoid Android. Cleaning cache and dalvik does not help and I cannot fix permissions as PhilZ Recovery doesn't support doing so.
Of course the phone is SGS 3 gt-i9300. Thanks for your help.
Use FreeSpace and check the data partition.
You must have more than 10% free.
I suggest you CCleaner or SD maid

TW Lollipop 5.1.1 SD memory expansion

Hi. I'm on a Note 10.1 2014. Actually I'm using LineageOS but sometimes I miss some TW features.
I would like to know if there is a way to enable, like in MM and N, the possibility to assign the external SD as internal archive to expand internal memory.
I already tried App2SD app, but I bricked one SD (it still works, but can't be set as expansion anymore) so I don't want to use it.
It there a code via ADB or terminal that can enable that feature?
Inviato dal mio SM-N9005 utilizzando Tapatalk
No but you also have to remember that many oem are removing the feature from their devices. Also once it is converted to be used you can't pull it out anymore without wiping your device.

Thank you. I know it can't be removed, but for someone with a good tablet with "only" 16gb of internal memory it is a good feature, especially if we use the tablet for gaming.
