Hi everyone,
My OnePlus 9R often crashes, and it looks like it's related to the internal storage. Read and write operations stop working, to the point where apps won't open and restarting hangs until I do a hard reset.
When I do restart, the same apps always fail in the same ways - mainly apps like Instagram and Sync for Reddit sign me out, indicating that there might be a problem with secure storage?
I think it may be triggered by me using a certain amount of space, though I'm not entirely sure about that.
This happens on custom ROMs as well as on Oxygen OS.
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? If there are indeed bad blocks in my internal storage, is there a way to avoid them?
You have a memory leak?

I doubt it, when this happens it will generally keep happening within minutes of rebooting until I go into TWRP and delete some files.

Hi,
I recently got an atrix [Bell Canada] and have been a happy user. However couple of days ago, I encountered a very strange problem. My phone has lots of free internal storage and a small 1GB memory card. Few days back, when I was taking pictures from the camera [default storage: internal], I noticed that the camera wasn't saving the pictures at all. It would take the picture, I'd hear the shutter sound thingy but the picture wasn't saved [there was no error message]. Upon further inspection, I noticed that all my previous pictures as well as all the songs were gone. I was travelling at that time and just switched the storage location to memory card and camera started saving pictures.
Today when I got home, I connected the phone to pc and my internal storage area is almost empty [just 71MB used by some applications]. I've lost all my pictures and songs from the storage and apparently there's no trace of them. I'm definite that I was listening to music and viewing pictures at least one day before I noticed this problem, and in between I didn't see anything strange on the phone.
Has anyone any clue what might be the cause and if there's a way to recover the old stuff? Searching the forums/google didn't yield anything. Here's the version num etc.
System Version: Blur_version.0.37.23.MB860.BellMobility.en.CA
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: N_01.77.15P
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: OLYLA_U4_0.37.23
It is a stock froyo with yet locked bootloader and no root.
I've had the problem where the internal sdcard periodically gets wiped.
I know two causes for this problem:
1. A defective app. The first time it started happening to me was right after I had installed Go Launcher. I saw another user posted about it, and I uninstalled it - and after that, the problem dropped almost completely.
2. If the volume itself is damaged, Android will either attempt a repair, or wipe the entire volume. This most likely will have occurred when people are in the habit of just pulling the USB cable out without properly unmounting the volumes from the PC first. The best way to deal with this is to format the volume (full format, NOT quick format) and make sure to always unmount the drives before pulling the cable. Note that when you format a volume for Android (whether it's the internal sdcard, or the external one), it's best to use a 32k allocation size.
My SD card seems intact. I did plug the phone with the PC but I didn't mount internal storage [selected None in the USB Connection notification]. Also I didn't have any launcher installed. All the apps I had looked pretty harmless [all very common and/or by well known publishers]. Anyway, it seems like the problem would remain a mystery. Everything seems normal now. Thanks for your answer.
Side question: Is it safe to format the internal storage? I assume OS, apps, and other critical data is stored on the ROM which is separate.

First of all, how are you determining that your SD card is intact?
Second, I wasn't pointing at launchers specifically, nor did I say anything about malicious software or shady developers. Go Launcher is a very common app by a respected developer. I wasn't pointing at malware, I was pointing at applications with a bug - which can be any app whatsoever. If all this started happening after you installed something specific, it bears looking at - that's all.
As for your question, it's perfectly safe to format the internal sdcard, just make sure to look it over first, and backup anything you want to keep. Your camera may store the photos you take there, for example. Or Tasker stores the documentation it downloads there, etc... You're not going to harm the system itself in any way, but that doesn't mean there isn't something you'd miss. Just give it a look before you format.
It happened to me again, once again all the data was erased from internal memory. This time, I'm quite confident it was WinAmp app unless my phone has defective hardware (slim chance).

Even if it was WinAmp, it's probably not a bad idea to reformat the internal sdcard partition. If you choose to do this, I would recommend a full (not quick) format, using a 32k allocation size.
Ok, I formatted the internal storage as you said and then also updated to Gingerbread. I hope it doesn't happen again. It's just a pain in the a$$ to recover all the deleted media.
Keep your important stuff backed up to the external sdcard.
I have been running CM7 since the first pre-beta release as my daily driver, this problem has always existed and I am beginning to think its either settings or my particular phone. The phone itself, CM7 works quite well, scrolls quick and almost all the stock things work quick.
However, most apps have issues hanging and I have the option of closing the app or waiting. If I choose to wait the app will eventually start working after having to click wait several times. It does not appear to be linked to one app, I do not have many apps installed, however here are some of the apps I have with the issue... facebook, espn score center, words with friends. On occasion the gallery will also have issues.
Here is more information about my phone and what I have tried.
Cyanogenmod 7.1.0-ba2tF-Olympus
Kernel: 2.6.32.39-mb860-cm7-g54722f1
baseband: N_01.97.00R
I have tried clearing cache, data, etc. Reinstalling. Removing and readding apps. I tried sd speed increase with little or no improvement. I thought that maybe where the apps are installed is an issue, however do not exactly understand where the storage is as my external sd card and internal "sd card" appear almost identical with folder structure. (I thought this was odd...)
So my question is, has anybody had this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix it? I have searched for weeks trying to find a solution with no success anywhere. I would like to think its something stupid as my phone quadrant scores are around 3700.
Thanks for taking the time to read and any advice!
Hello,
I've searched but nobody seems to have my particular problem. I moved a bunch of Apps via App2Sd from my Phone to my SD card, thinking it would help eliminate the "Insufficient storage device" error that kept popping up. It did the trick, but my phone became insanely slow as a response...and it periodically reboots every 1-3 minutes. I'm not quite sure what I did - or rather, how exactly moving Apps to my SD card could wrought such havoc on my phone. My phone is not rooted, and I have not made any effort to modify it beyond the normal means. Could anyone assist me? I'd appreciate it.

I have a very vague recollection of the stock recovery but I believe there is a way to wipe CACHE (not DATA) from it. Try that first.
Also, If you're not rooted then that app is not doing anything you can't already do on the stock rom. I would try moving the apps back and then get rid of that app. You can move individual apps through phone settings > applications. That app only moves apps that can already be moved by stock Android.
If all else fails you may be looking at a factory reset. That's the crummy thing about an unrooted phone, if something goes wrong you don't have many options.

I can't specifically remember, but I moved almost everything. It's likely that I moved my launcher, GoLauncher. As for widgets, I only have one widget, BusinessCalendar, and since that doesn't function from the SD card (as far as I know), I left it there.
In the end I removed my SD card and, predictably, the phone worked just fine. I wanted to avoid it, but I guess I'm just gonna mount and clear my SD card.

For some reason it seems not much people know that if all your apps are on your INTERNAL it will be extremely faster. The UI throughout the phone will significantly increase. Guarantee you that.
The phone has to locate read the app from the SD then boot it save data on SD= lag.
As above, and some apps do not play well on the external sd even though they can be put there. I'm pretty sure the launcher should be on the internal sd.
If you really are out of space on the internal, then only move one, or a small number of apps to external, and then only one at a time, to see the effects. Also, choose the ones you use the least.
I'd suggest you move everything back to the internal memory and see if the phone functions normally again. If so, then move apps to external as I mentioned above. If not, you may have to wipe data/factory reset and set everything up all over again.
What ROM are you running? I recommended flashing something light and tight to improve your overall experience. Try Ethereal, or Vagabond for that matter. Light GB ROMs, and super stable.

i don't believe those are available for our device... fail post is fail.
Try out a few things for a few days, maybe one will offer you what you want?

Running current supermaster34's CM9 on gpy70 international 5.0, coming from his remixics. Device reboots anytime I try to access the applications AND the storage sections of the main menu. I have no apps installed on my external which is the culprit for some people. I cannot even try to erase app data because it reboots. Task manager apps also shut the system down. I've done several full wipes/clean installs, tried dirty flashes as well with no luck. Did not have this issue on remix.
Driving me nuts, any ideas? Could my titanium restore from my external have some part in this (can't see why)? What is accessing my external that's causing this? Is it my media? At a loss, any help would be awesome.

Maybe it is a bug in the rom itself otherwise send a PM to supermaster34

You can use titanium backup to wipe app data. I'll have to test this on or after wednesday as I'm pretty busy until then. I guess you could use titanium backup for app management for the time being while I check out this bug. Seeing as the issue doesn't occur on RemICS-UX then it might be worth sticking to that for a bit

Ok, new development on this issue. Apparently this has something to do with restoring apps from titanium, or atleast the shock to the system of all those apps being put back at once. So I wiped again and reinstalled, checked the application and storage menus and there was NO force close. However, after I restored my apps from titanium....bam, force reboots in both of those options in the settings menu. So then I tried removing my T backup from my external to my internal and did the whole thing over again...same result - force reboots. What I think is happening is that the system is locking up trying to read all of that data just thrown into the mix all at once. Would make sense being that both the application and storage sections both have the same reboot issue. Oh, and I also tried this on remixics with the same result, before when I mentioned that it did not happen in remix was inaccurate due to the fact that I never did a Titanium restore on remix.
So now what? What could be causing this? Is it possible that something is trying to access the external and causing the already known reboot? But what would explain the storage section menu doing the same thing? That's not a reported issue that I have heard of, as well as any task manager causing a reboot.
I know your busy, not pushing at all, just reporting what I am finding as I find it. Thanks again, SM34
I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with update 6.0.1 with the latest security patch level applied 11/1/16. Recently my microSD card status will go between two indicators in the notification bar: 1) SD card - For transferring photos and media, or 2) SD card was removed, please insert a new one. In both cases the same micro SD card remains in the phone. When I receive the message that the card has been removed, I can click on Storage in the Settings menu and see that only internal storage appears. At some point the SD card will reappear with the message from #1. I can restart my phone, I can turn it off and back on again, etc. but none of those things seem to alter the phone status of identifying that an SD card exists in the phone. It's quite annoying especially when I want to take photos or am transferring data from internal storage to the SD card when it suddenly becomes "removed". However, again, the change from being considered installed/mounted or missing/removed will happen at any time whether I'm using my phone or not. I've started to wonder whether I picked up a virus by visiting a site while reading news through the Google Play Newstand., which I've been doing a lot lately,.. but I've installed/uninstalled at least 5 different anti-virus/malware software and nothing is identifying a problem on my phone. AVG, McAfee, Bitdefender, Kaspersky, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
The only other oddity I have noticed about the same time is that I have Verizon Protection and Support which suddenly acted like I had never used it before and made me agree to the terms of use again - once I say ok to the terms, it returns that it cannot access data and try again later. Nothing I have done related to that software has worked and Verizon's only suggestion is to factory reset in which some users indicated that did not resolve the problem.
Has anyone else experienced either of these issues and found resolutions? Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Try Using your device without SD card for some time and then put that chip again. If the situation persist try wiping Cache of Your phone.
There is probably to many webdavs using all your cu. Obtrusive. To root or not to root. Providers say that root is what causes issues of vulnerability. You get these problems ether way but you can only fix with root.
What ever the problem is formatting your car should straighten it out. If you don't want to arrange your files a quick fix for webdav is to use root explorer. Search for "nomedia"and delete them all. Hopefully only apps you want have a good enough grip to put them back.

Thank you. I don't know how long you mean for "some time" but I did for about 30 minutes. I did use McAfee to clear app cache to free up space but I just checked and my current message is "SD card removed. Insert a new one" so apparently that didn't do it. I' did not allow it to clear thumbnails though.

Well, until now I considered myself fairly tech savvy... but I am not sure what webdavs are or what it means to root or not. Is root explorer software? And then, the next question is where would I search for "nomedia"? If you'd rather I do more research on these myself I can do that, no worries... but if they are easy enough to explain that would be great. Thanks so much!

Some time means at least a day.
And wiping Cache here I meant Clear the Entire Phone's Cache through Recovery
Good browsers have a search bar in them. A web dav is a network connection to a folder. If it is causing your card not to work now than likely it was put there by a demon and you want it gone. If you don't know what root is then you are a long ways out from putting up a fight. The only thing I could really advise you to do is do a factory reset that includes formatting the card. If you do ever decide to root be very careful the method.
