Hey guys, I have had a odd bug appear:
When in dialogues to send images in apps, especially Facebook - they don't always show up.
Especially just taken/recently taken images that are saved to internal storage rather than external SD.
Fixed it - Gave up on Stock and installed CM11 LOL...

Folks,
I have been using a few of the Jellybean ROMs and ever since I have had trouble downloading pictures from the Phone to the camera. With the ICS roms my PC would assign them driver letters. But with each Jellybean rom I tried they dont show up as drive letters. They show up and I can browser to them. However my camer's DCIM is empty (Computer\SAMSUNG-SGH-I717\Internal storage\DCIM\Camera)
Even thought I have about 150 pictures in it. When i double check using the built in gallery app on my phone they are all there. But for the life of me I can not figure out why I can no longer see them in Window Explorer. I thought about importing them... But I have an SD card with about 1000s hi res backgrounds and i do NOT want to re import them.
Clearing the media cache and rebooting seemed to fix this (all pictures are now visible).
Hi everyone! So, I've been having a bit of an issue with my Galaxy S3 lately (and by lately, I mean it's been bothering me for the past few months, but until today I've been able to use my phone )
My phone is giving me an out of space message, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to fix it. When it first started coming up, it was a bit annoying, but today, my phone seems to have run out of so much space, it can't receive messages, take screenshots (even though it should be stored onto my SD card), or even use the Facebook app without it erroring.
I can't upload a screenshot to here (since my phone won't even let me take the screenshot ), but when I go to the storage settings, my phone says I don't have enough internal memory. It says I have 11.25GB total, and I'm using 1.85GB for applications, 5.27MB for pictures and videos, 34.30MB for audio, 14.14MB for downloads and 236MB for misc files. Somehow that means my 11.25GB space is all used up, so I might have to go back to school for maths, because something doesn't add up . It also says I have 4.30GB free space on my SD card, but that's not causing the problem (I hope)
I've searched for other problems like this, and all of them are for rooted phones, which doesn't help me because my S3 isn't rooted. Also, all of the problems I saw were when people tried installing an app and got the "out of space" error on Google Play store, and they had to delete the app's .odex file, which unfortunately doesn't help me
I appreciate any help anyone has ! Really hoping to be able to use my phone again
Hello Everyone.
I own a Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) and until 2 days ago i was running a CM7 on it until it suddenly just stopped working and the phone hung in some kind of boot loop. That's when i decided to "upgrade" to a newer version of CM and searched for everything necessary.
I tried some CM11 alpha but since it's pretty unstable (at least the version i had was) i tried others until i settled for a stable 10.2 version (cm-10.2-20140309-UNOFFICIAL-cooper++). So far i am pretty happy since it actually is running very smoothly on my phone and i did not expect that at all. But then i ran into the same issue that basically everyone owning this phone runs into - it's very limited internal space.
Fact is i do need some google apps since i'm using gmail and synchronizing my contacts through it. Also i want to use Whatsapp, basically the only reason for me having a smartphone right now. I Installed the Dolphin Browser aswell since a decent browser is also something i'd like to use from time to time, but it seems to be full on external anyways so it should not count towards the internal storage.
Problem is now, all that is already too much for the phone's internal storage to handle since whatsapp has to stay on internal - at least that's my experience - and the google-play services that are needed aswell are placed on internal too without option of moving them.
I tried some things but basically all of them failed on one or another weird way..
- titanium backup - uninstalled system apps that i am not using (radio, browser, google play voice things, etc.) but after a reboot they were all back again. Even before rebooting, uninstalling them seemed not to open up space at all.
- Link2SD - tried linking whatsapp to my SD card, failed since whatsapp wasn't running very stable anymore. If anyone has a solution for this i'd love to hear it!
- App2SD - didn't even show any internal apps, and wasn't helping at all.
Also something i've tried, i have a message backup for whatsapp that's ~14mb but lies on my SD card. Problem seems to be that Whatsapp on recovering these messages put's them somewhere on the internal storage, at least it takes those ~14mb away from it after it recovered them. I tried to change the path whatsapp uses for internal storing of data with the app 'FolderMount' (like i found tutorials on the internet for exactly this issue) but wasn't even able to locate the internal stored data :/ Not because i just didn't find it, but because it seems not to exist...
I know i can't really increase the size of the internal storage but i think there has to be something i can do. I can't even update whatsapp since i am just living on the edge of the "low storage space" message with 20-15mb left.
What i am hoping now through this thread is to get some ideas or options how i could free up some space, move some apps around to SD maybe (utilize Link2SD correctly) or in the end basically have the things i need but some free storage on internal so that i can use my phone, maybe even install apps on SD (without them touching internal space) and have some room to update the important apps like whatsapp.

Hi,
I'm on Omega ROM V24 XWLSW (4.1.2) and I have recently encountered a weird and annoying problem. At first, I noticed that Instagram couldn't refresh its feed and trying to load videos made it crash, then I saw Facebook was refreshing feed, but not loading pictures. I didn't know what caused this and I thought it was app-related, but then I saw the gallery thumbnails appearing as simply grey squares, and when trying to load a picture it loads it with "lag" (imagine the picture divided to 16 squares, and each square loads after another...). Then I realised it had to do with the internal memory.
Every time I reboot it's back to normal, but after a period of time (which I can't really say is constant) the internal memory is back on "half-sleep". I can still access it with file explorers and I can still view pictures on it via gallery (read above), but apps like Instagram/Facebook/WhatsApp can't use it (I can't download photos). Maybe it becomes read-only? I don't know. When I connect the phone to my computer with the USB function in "Settings" it has to reload the internal memory and the SD card so it also timely resolves the problem.
I have no idea what causes this and I'm asking here for any suggestions you guys might have before I factory reset or whatever.
Thanks in advance!
Nobody?
Hi all ever since I have a memory card (a simple old one 2 gigs) I have a total chaos in my gallery - old picture showed up in recent dates and vice versa. Also after the Lollipop update, even though I made a back up + I am backing up online automatically with OneDrive, a lot of pictures were missing - oddly from the OneDrive folder as well...Yesterday a picture taken a month ago showed up in 14.04.2015 section, for no reason. what and why is happening ?
