Randomly, about a month ago, my gallery started messing up. Every time I try to share a picture (from phone or SD storage) it tells me "unfortunately, gallery has stopped working." I have cleared my cache and data from the gallery app. I have also unmounted the SD card to see if it was corrupt, but it still gives me the message if the SD card is out of my phone. Is the next step to wipe the phone with a factory reset? I'm on the stock ROM and it's not rooted. What are my options here? Has anyone else had this issue?

Hi,
So I tried to wipe the cache of my Swype keyboard but I identically cleared the data, and this for some reason has led to the destabilizing of my entire phone.
So initially I got the "Android Keyboard (AOSP) has stopped working" error. So I just disabled the keyboard and installed the GO keyboard so that have something to work with. However, my SD card is UNREADABLE, gallery won't open, camera won't work, can't view images sent to me, I can't even backup my contacts and messages to do a clean install because my phone can't pick up an external SD!
Do you guys have any idea on how I could either
a) fix this
b) backup my contacts and messages without the use of an app that requires I have an SD card
Also, if I go to ClockWorkRecovery, my SD card is picked up. I have tried wiping cache and dalvik as well as installing the rom over again, didn't work.
Thanks

Problem is I already have CM10 installed? I don't think KIES would work, and even then, my PC doesn't recognise my phone, I plug it in, it shows up on My Computer but I can't browse its contents
How does clearing data on Swiftkey fck up a phone so bad??
After installing Google Play on the Play-less Visual Land Prestige 7L tablet via a script, the tablet now has a functional Play app, but I'm unable to use any SD storage: every time I insert an SD card, a notification says the SD card is now safe to eject. Going into Settings->Storage always crashes and closes the settings instantly, usually with a quick flash of a message that "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped", although once I saw instead a message about android.process.media. I've seen a few posts about that around the 'net, which recommend clearing data and cache for Media Storage, and sometimes a few other apps, but I've tried that. I've even tried going into recovery, wiping the data and cache, and restoring factory. But that doesn't seem to actually reset everything, as some installed apps, and the error, are not system apps and persist after a wipe.
I'm able to connect via adb, but aside from the trace (attached) that happens every time Settings -> Storage is opened, I don't see anything obviously wrong in the filesystem. The error is related to StorageManagement.java and StatFS.
I've tried everything I can think of and was hoping someone could give me a clue what to try next.
Thanks.
I believe something is wrong with my Internal SD. Whenever I take a picture with my phone camera, regardless of the camera app, the image doesn't save. When I take a screenshot, I get a notification that says "Couldn't save screenshot. Storage may be in use." My external Micro-SD card is currently not connected, so the issue is with the Internal-SD. I recently did a factory reset of my phone, but did not wipe the Internal-SD. I then restored all my apps that I had backed up with Titanium Backup Pro. A few hours later, I tried to take some picture with the camera but they didn't save.
In some attempts to fix the issue I rebooted into TWRP and wiped some things. First I cleared the Cache and Dalvik-Cache. Then I wiped and formatted the Internal-SD. Upon rebooting I discovered the image saving still didn't work. I was thinking about using Titanium Backup Pro to freeze all the running apps on the phone, defrost the camera app, and then try to take a picture to see if an app was constantly using the Internal-SD. I did not do this for a fear of possibly bricking the phone.
I could use quite a bit of help on this one.
Hi,
I have galaxy s2 i9100 phone. Internal memory 8 GB, and no external sd card. Its running 4.1.2 jelly bean. official rom. the problem with my phone is that when the phone is restarted i get the " preparing sd card: checking for errors" and it takes a long time to go away. during that time i cant do anything like taking a picture or accessing memory. after that when i goto application manager to clear cache of an app or uninstall an app, no app is showing its size. then after like 10 or more minutes the apps start showing their sizes one by one.
during this time if i click any app to see if i can uninstall the app or clear cache etc i see computing..... infront of everything.
and it takes quite a while to compute. Eventually it is computed and all the sizes cache size is showing but if i click to clear data or clear cache the button appears to be clicked but nothing happens i have to close the application manager and open it after like 10 mins to find out the cache has been cleared. all this is also effecting my phone performance. The apps are very slow. I dont get any facebook or any other notification on time. I get them like an hour late. This didnt use to happen before. The phone is sluggish and often freezes and i have to take out the battery to make it work again.
I did everything i could find. I factory reset it, did wipe all data and even reflashed and factory reset it but all that did was make it work normal for a day or two and then all these problems start again. I searched alot but couldnt find any topic relevant. No body has mentioned this application manager problem etc and phone being slow etc. And many of the posts are about external sd card but i have no external sd card. Could someone please help me.
Running the newest version of beans since the day after it came out. Has been really stable. Until yesterday. The only thing I did yesterday was I downloaded a couple weather apps.
It's pretty easy to trigger. I can trigger it by going into my gmail app and it won't let me read anything because it closes Gmail. I have done it by going into the phone settings screen. It happens in the play store and I also can't download any apps.
I've tried clearing cache/data and force stopping both Media Storage and Download Manager. I have 2.78GB left on internal storage and 5.4 or so on external 16gb sdcard. On the internal the largest directories are Titanium Backup at 1.91GB, airdroid at 1.19 gb (its the beans rom file), Android at 0.98 GB, and DCIM at 145MB. On external the largest are DCIM at 5.00 GB (music folder at 4.7GB), TWRP at 4.36GB (a full system backup), and then Download at 33.03MB.
My first and probably smartest step is to full wipe, reflash, but I really wanted to avoid that. Just wondering if there are any other suggestions.

I tried a cache, delvik, factory reset, and system reset from recovery. Reinstalled alliance/beans, and right from the get go got an error saying "system uids inconsistent" when I booted for the first time, followed by a series of "such and such has stopped working" like gapps and the same error above. As a result I cant use the play store to download my apps either.
I rebooted into recovery and tried to fix the permissions which then failed with this at the end "E: Unable to chmod data/data/com.google.android"
Now im really not sure what to do
One more thing: I wondered if maybe it was my SD card so i unmounted that and removed it. That hasn't done anything.
Also, rebooting takes much longer than usual.
