i use Samsung galaxy s2 with the latest firmware version from Samsung kies (ginger bread 2.3.5) , the problem occurred after installing external SD card and move bunch of apps to it,i tried removing the external sd card from my device, the device stoped rebooting, when i insert it again the device keeps rebooting over and over, the problem is obviosley is moving apps to SD card, i tried to delete the content of the file (andro secure) in SD crad this file includes the moved applications from phone memory to external sd, the problem also stoped
i wasn't having this issue in 2.3.3 therefore
its one of the three:
1- android 2.3.5 do not accept lots of apps in external sd
or 2- there is a problem in a specific app in external sd which make the phone rebooting over and over but i don't know which app is causing the issue because i have lots of apps installed !
or- a problem in the newest firmware 2.3.5 as i heard many ppl having troubles with it
to fix the problem i did factory reset and the rebooting stopped but im scared now to move apps to sd card that the rebooting problem occur again as it happend to me twice after doning factory reset and move them.
i need your help guys, it's annoying to not be able to move apps to sd so the problem don't occur

I will be honestly: I didn't read all BUT
1) U have rebootings after putting files on external sd.
2) after factory reset problem was passed
3) copying again - reboot again
-> right?
1) U thought about wrong (damaged) files you copy?
2) Or maybe files which normally used from an app and this app now isn't able to use it because u moved?
Thing about and check this, I'm sure one of it would be the fold.

it's not copying actully, it's downloading the apps from market and move them from internal storage to external sd therefore i don't think it's a damage files case because they are a market apps however i move only compatible apps which doesn't have (lower right icon) in app2sd, install latest version of app2sd to know what (lower right icon) mean
I'm having the exact same problem! It just randomly started last night, I was playing the game "Blood and Glory" exited the game and around 2 minutes later after checking Facebook it started doing the boot loop.
I'm running the Sprint Epic Touch 4g with Android 2.3.6
I recently put in a 32g SD card a little over a week ago cause it seems the 16g internal is partitioned to only around 2gigs for apps and I have around 130 apps.
I use App2SD pro to move all my apps.
I'm having the same problem, I bought SanDisk SD Card 16GB. when I install it and moved all supported Apps to the SD Card the problem occurred and my SGS2 keeps rebooting over & over during the whole day.
One of my friends made a factory restore & installed the previous OS 2.3.4 and the problem disappeared!!
The thing is what if don't want to root my device and install 2.3.4 what we should do.... shall we keep the SD card only for Camera Pictures & Movies???
any suggestions???
Hey guys,
I am using SGS2 as well. My phone keeps rebooting like more than 2 times a day. randomly. I convince myself not to blame gingerbread2.3.5, thus i tried uninstall my apps in batch (5-10apps each round) and see which batch of my apps cause the prob, if they are not those who cause rebooting issue, i install them back (in phone space not SD card) but so far i still couldn't found and just few mins ago it rebooted again. it happens after the upgrade from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5, after i downloaded a few apps and updated a few apps. I will finish with the un-installation and re-installation.

saw this thread. people were talking about the Dolphin HD which caused the reboot issue, did you have Dolphin browser app installed?
I am having the same issue, too
It started on my S2 after the latest firmware update. I can unmount the SD card and the phone boots OK. I read somewhere that my SD card may have issues, so I purchased another and moved all of my files. The problem reoccurs with the new SD card. I do not have Dolphin browser installed.
I had this issue. I reformatted my sd card and then moved some apps and data back. One week reboot free. 32gb sandisk

In my SGS2 it reboots sometimes in the market, i dont know what to do...
test your sd card for errors...!? thats where i'd start
same problem ... do not restart I had to remove the microSD .. : (.... How do we fix??
SG2 rebooting all the time also
My Sg2 is rebooting every 20 minutes or so.
Is formatting the the SD card a fix?
Mine used to reboot 3 to 5 times a day. Did a factory reset and formatted the internal SD card and set everything backup without Dolphin browser and it's been good for about a week now, no more reboots.
Whether that was because of the rumor that Dolphin browser caused it or from the reformat of the sd card I don't know. But I'm happy none the less.
Got the same problem. It started 2 days ago, and the only fix I've found was to remove apps from my SD card.
From what I've tested :
- Formatting the SD card and copying back all the files doesn't help.
- Removing the SD card or having an empty one works.
- Uninstalling the Dolphin browser didn't help.
- Doubt it's a specific app causing the issue (nothing weird on my S2)
- Removing X number of apps on the SD card seems to work. Now I'm not sure if I had to clear a specific number of apps or a number of MBs, but it works (for now).
Hopefully we'll see a fix soon.

Yours sounds like a problem with an app...
Everyone else should test their sd cards for errors or try fixing bad sectors...
Used to happen on my previous phones with crap sd cards... Once I bought a decent good quality one its never happened
about a month and a half ago I removed dolphin and my reboots stopped. They started up again and my card became corrupted. Decided to go no-card for a while. Was fine for a month. Decided to go for a good deal on a sandisk 16 and 2 days later after moving a bunch of apps on the reboots are back.
Points to a card issue. I've been though 3 cards on this phone now and am about to reset it to factory and bring it in for diagnostics.
Driving me nuts.

I've got a Samsung class 10.. I Highly recommend
Sent from my GT-I9100
I got the same issue (2.3.5) and my SD Card is calss 4, the only way to avoid restart prob. Is to root and downgrade to 2.3.4
Waiting for any other feedback.
Any update Guys,,,,???
This problem is still occur in ICS leaks..
Without knowing this thread I have created similar thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21457609
Still, my thread is to gather data about how many user can reproduce this issue.
This issue is side effect starting from Samsung update 2.3.5..
The only way to avoid this issue is by downgrading to 2.3.4 or lower version.
Hello guys,
I have a problem with my HTC Desire X. Every time that I use the sd drive to save something or I switch off my phone, I lose all my applications!
I notice that the problem is collegated with the apps that I have installed on the sd card, because the other apps that I've installed at the internal memory, are perfectly in function.
What huppened?
Every time I restart the phone or the battery finish, I have to reinstall all the apps that I had on the sd!:crying:
I've heared that with the new version of android the sd memory storage will be replaced from an other tipe of storage, maybe is there the solution? I don't know more. Is anybody there that can help me? :fingers-crossed:

i had the same problem using 3rd party apps like link2SD, just use the built in app2sd and you should be fine.
Hi! I have Iocean X7S phone, which runs perfect except one problem. X7S has opportunity to save apps to either internal storage, phone storage or external SD-card. Every location works as saving files. However, I can't use phone storage as apps saving location. There is Phone storage and SD card opportunities in Settings -> Storage -> 'Default write disk' . However, whichever I choose as primary, there doesn't happen anything. If external SD card is mounted, there is "Move to SD card" button in apps and a tab 'SD card' in Settings -> Apps. If I unmount SD card, there disappears opportunity to choose primary save location, SD card tab and button to move app another location. However, there reads 'Phone storage app 0.00B' and 'Phone storage data 0.00B' in apps instead of 'SD card app and data' when SD card is unmounted. So I think it is some kind of software issue.
I have tried factory reset different ways without any result, there is still only opportunity to keep apps in internal storage or SD-card. In \storage\sdcard0 is external SD-card and sdcard1 is phone storage.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem with my iOcean X7S too. It's very very annoying! I have tried resetting and so on too, and nothing works. There must be a bug in the firmware.
What version of ROM do you have under Settings/About Phone/Biuld Number. Mine is X72 20140301-160406 (1st March 2014 I guess). I think this is the most up to date official ROM unfortunately.
My build number is X7S 20140120-183101. It's strange that it doesn't infrom the new software update, even when I manually try to search updates.
I also put message directly to Iocean service, they just said that they just said thanks to infrom the problem. Maybe you should also put a message.

You can download the most up to date official firmware from Need ROM. I think the necessary tools to flash it to your phone are in the download, but I have not cheched as my X7s is up to date. Here's the link http://www.needrom.com/mobile/iocean-x7s/
Unfortunately I've noticed mine has a problem with the screen so I'm trying to return it. If I move my finger very slowly across the bottom quarter of the screen whatever you are touching responds very erratically. If you're browsing the web, pages jump around suddenly; if you're dragging an icon across the bottom of the screen, it jumps around all over the place, even if you keep your finger on the screen.
Mine also has a problem where the green notification light illuminates when the battery is only 90% charged. Sometimes restarting the phone makes the battery go from, say, 60% charge right up to 100%. Cycling the battery and clearing battery stats didn't help.
It's such a shame because apart from these issues I really like it!
If you decide to flash the newer ROM it is already rooted now. If you head to settings/security, you will see an option to enable root access which is very useful. Also, if you choose to enable developer options (by tapping on the build number six times), back on the main settings page a new 'Advanced' category appears. This allows you to enable the volume buttons to wake the screen, and to adjust the transparency of things like the notification bar
Thanks really for telling the problem in your X7S version. Mine hasn't any of those problems, except that notification led turns green in 90% but not any charge related. I wouldn't really count led issue as a problem
So good to know that newer version has the same screen touch problem as other X7 series phones, I have wathced videos of them on Youtube. I think this firmware ehich I have works best for now :laugh:
I don't have option to get root acces from Settings/security tab, I have rooted it with general MTK6582 root method. So they seems to have added automatic root to the new version (and a lot of bugs).

Yes, I'd been hoping I would have the same firmware as you. I guess the seller must have upgraded it for me before despatching it - a nice gesture of course, but the easy root featue is the only useful thing! I can't make up my mind whether or not to risk getting a replacement or buy something else.
Hey guys,
(running Xperia Z2 on Cyanogenmod version cm-11-20141206-NIGHTLY)
i know, i know. this question was asked a thousand times before and most of the time the solution was simple. but it seems, like the xperia Z2 has a different reason for this behaviour. i bought the 16 GB Version a couple days ago and the Power of this thing is incredibly, considering i had a Samsung Wave II before.
installed a few apps like Instagram, Twitter, etc. and tried out some games. of course, running them was no struggle for this Flagship, of course. but soon, my storage was already full. After uninstalling the huge games and some smaller apps, cleaning up the leftovers, clearing the cache, rebooting...still "insufficient storage available".
Turns out around 7 GB of Storage were used by "other" files, says android. so i hit up "other", check every file in there, delete 'em, reboot - still the same problem.
next thought: maybe 16 GB just isn't enough for all the background data that comes together after installing a few apps. so i put a 32 GB micro SD in, tried Link2SD. which failed. would post a screenshot but i don't run Android in English.
Says something like "App2SD is not support by your device, because its primary external memory is emulated from the interal storage."
i'm not familiar with unix and it's data system, but to me, this sounds like a plugged in micro sd would be added to the internal storage. which would make linking apps unneccessary. but then, i wouldn't have this storage problem.
i didn't need to make a swap/linking partition on my SD card before, but maybe i need to do it for this phone.
downloading partition app...surprisingly successfully, tried to reformat, delete all partitions, create a big one for private storage and about 8 GB for the swap. failed. every app i tried just wouldn't work. no errors, just won't apply the changes. i tried it with the SD card mounted and unmounted. i made sure i was going to partition the SD card, not the internal memory.
this is depressing and really takes the fun out of a Overkill-Phone like this.
i hated the bloated and customized Sony UI on the original Firmware, but i didn't have a storage problem. but i shouldn't need to "downgrade" just because of this bug.
could it be the development progress on this phone? i'm running a nightly, but there are no stable versions yet. but this stuff worked with an unofficial port, on an really outdated phone.
Hello, I've been having some problems with my phones.
It's a BLU Advance 4.0 L2
it has Android 6.0
Last year it had an software update, and after that it's been showing some issues.
Every time I update an app, like WhatsApp or Swiftkey Keyboard and the like, it moves them back to internal memory. That much I understand.
But after I try to move them back to SD card, it says "System app, it's no allowed to be moved", despite having them on the SD card before. The only way I've found around this is to uninstall and reinstall them, which is a hassle in the long run. I should add this is an adopted 32GB sd card, which hasn't given me any problems before.
I don't know what other info I should provide.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Most probably your default storage/ write disk is internal memory, try to change that if your device allows it or root it and use Link2sd app, which has an option to change your default install location :good:
