every morning: no internal storage available - phone not rooted - Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a non rooted 6.0 with latest update.
yesterday and tomorrow morning, i recognized that the avatars in wechat are not shown. i wanted to open the internal folder with total commander and got a failure: folder not available or cannot be opened. then i tried to access the internal storage directly with total comamnder but same issue with error message: no internal storage available. please format.
after rebooting the phone it works again. now i want to know if there are some check tools or how to fix. notice, i have no root, but maybe there are some erros in tables or whatelse. but it is interesting that this occurs over night. during the night the phone is on charge and not offline or in flight mode.
i had this in similar with external sd card some weeks ago. only after a reboot it worked again. and now the internal storage is the problem. i do not want to reboot every day.

does it only happen with total commander or also with the stock file manager?

Help with Market/Google Play on newly updated tablet

Hi guys, hope someone can help me, I have 2 problems stopping me from installing 75% of the apps I want on my tablet which I just updated to it's official JellyBean ROM. No one else has reported this problem with this tablet/ROM so I hope someone knows the solution.
1) with around 50% of the apps (paid for and free) I get the error "Couldn't Install on the USB storage or SD card" (see screenshot)
2) a lot of apps (Chrome for example) say they are not compatible, yet they were fine in ICS and they are fine on my JellyBean phone.
Number 2 I've seen before and been able to add an android.hardware.location.gps.xml file in to system/etc/permissions and it's work, but it's not working this time.
Number 1 has me really stumped, searching the net finds the problems on all sorts of devices and there's 2 solutions, neither of which work, one is to unmount the SD card and install, then remount it - I've unmounted & removed the card, but nothing (I have 16Gb internal memory too). The other solution is to delete any files called "smdl2tmp1" of which I have none.
Now I've tried wiping the cache etc, re-installing the ROM, doing factory resets etc but nothing is helping. I have also noticed that my internal memory isn't getting wiped each time and I cannot find how to wipe it.
The tablet has CWM recovery built in but it's in chinese, but I know my way around it.
I have noticed that if I install and load up Astro file manager it lists my storage options as this (click for screenshot)
Local Storage 1 (USB) - I have nothing plugged in to the slot
Local Storage 2 tries to point to external SD card even when it's unmounted or not even in (this still appears if I have nothing plugged in on boot too)
Local Storage 3 is my internal memory
Local Storage 1 & 2 allow me to open them but there's nothing in there and I cannot add folders etc (no errors, it just doesn't do it)
Please can anyone offer advice?
My tablet is pretty useless with hardly any apps installed on it.
can anyone help?

[Q] GS3 crashed, won't restart, hangs on the Samsung splash screen

Hi there,
I really hope you can help me.
A few days ago my phone tells me my memory is running low. I took a look, and low and behold there's feck all memory left. Which is odd because I'm careful about what I install. So, to begin with I download App2SD to move some applications to the SD card. App2SD then tells me that I have no external memory card, or it's virtual memory - which is odd, because all my music is on the SD card and I've no problem playing any of it. So, a few days later the phone tells me the SD card is no longer working, and I should try reformat it, today being the first day I've had some time free I decided to see if I could rescue some photos before formatting it, so I plugged in to my computer to browse the phone and see if I could see the SD card and photos.
After further inspection I discovered that the camera hasn't been saving pictures to the SD card as I'd originally set it to, so there's over 4GB of photos on the main memory, causing my low memory problems. So I started moving photos from the phone memory to the computer, copying and pasting onto my laptop, then deleting from the phone.
While doing this the phone kept crashing and restarting. Eventually (after many reboots) I managed to free about 1.5GB of the phone memory.
The phone crashed again. This time however, I get a message saying something along the lines of "cannot encrypt device, please reboot the phone".
Since then when I power up the phone I get "Firmware Upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again".
I tried rebooting but nothing happens, the phone hangs at the start up screen (after the Samsung logo, where the model number is displayed).
I've tried re-installing the firmware with Kies, which didn't work. Then I tried the emergency recovery, which also didn't work.
Has anyone got any advice??
I'm running the official Samsung binary.
I use nova launcher.

Internal Storage Full After Factory Reset

Hi,
I have a Huawei Ascend G6 (U10) and rooted my device with TowelRoot 3.0
When you get a new phone it's custom to first fully charge your device and then let it fully deplete before fully charging it again to make sure you use the full capability of your device's battery. (during this time I rooted my device) Now, while it was at only 3% of battery I was playing a silly game, called Can KnockDown 3. While playing this game, my device turned off due to no battery. After it fully charged again, I tried to run the game again but it got stuck on the initialisation screen.
No big deal, I thought. So, I went on and just un-installed it and tried to re-install it. Problem is, I got Google Play error 492 when I tried to download/install the game once more. So I restarted my device, tried to un-install the Play Store and tried a hard reboot. None of those worked.
After some reading I got to know that I had to install an app called "ROM manager", boot into Recovery Mode and delete the Dalvik Cache (Which was said to be located in "Settings". Now, I don't know much about phones, nor Android. So that proved quite difficult. I went into Recovery Mode but was unable to find the "Settings" tab. So, I wiped Cache and the other setting. Can't quite remember. When I rebooted it, the problem was STILL not solved.
Now, I never noticed the REAL problem because I had my external SD card mounted.
This morning, I wanted to change my profile picture on an app called What's App Messenger. It gave me the following error: "Failed to load image data, please try again later." That really bothered me and after a reboot the problem was still not solved. I quickly realised that all my pictures were on my external SD so I turned off my phone to take it out. Booted it without external SD. Tried to make a picture with my camera, but it said "Internal Sotrage full. Please insert an SD card." but when I went to my filemanager there was NOTING on my internal SD. No maps, nothing. However, in my settings it says that only 1.98 GB of the 4 GGB internal storage is used...
Could someone please help me with this?
try using DiskUsage app, it shows every folder in your phone and how much space they take, also if you have rooted your phone, it shows wich system folders take most of the space (logs and tmp folders, safe to erase)

I appreciate your reply, but I don't think that's the problem. I think my internal SD card is f***ed up now. I've tried wiping it all I want but to no avail. Probably something went wrong with rooting it, or installing ClockWorkMod or something. I don't know.
What I do know is that I need help!
Have you found a solution

Problems with USB file transfering.

Hey everyone.
I have been experiencing a huge problem for me, with my p760. I`m on latest PAC version, and about a week ago i had problems with UMS, while copying files from computer to my LG, suddenly the task froze, i couldn't turn off Mass Storage from phone either, so i just unplugged the device after aprox. 6 min of waiting. The result was in phone shutdown. I turnt back on, and tried once more, sadly the same happened, but this time i received a nice present of soft brick. I couldn't even turn my phone on in recovery (thanks to TWRP), i managed to flash CWM through fastboot, then made a factory reset, and phone booted up, but ever since the time, i am unable to copy files to SD card through UMS, and MTP doesn't work at all. So i'm stuck now. I want to reinstall phone, upgrade to new ROM, i know possibilities are just to download a new ROM through phone, but i like the PAC, so do you have any solution or tips to fixing this? Oh, also everytime i connect phone, it shows me that my SD card needs to be scanned for errors, i always skipped, 'til i tried, and no luck. 20min of waiting to tell me, it is all right with SD.
First use an external SD reader to scan for errors and eventually try substituting the SD to see if it's a phone or a SD problem. Second you can always flash a rom from internal SD!

I didn't thought about the internal SD, but still a KK disables Internal SD Emulation, i can't copy files to it through PC the "normal" way. How can i copy from PC to Internal SD?

[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.
