[Q] [B]MEMORY INCREASED after fc with bootloop[/B] - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody! A big question for a great job!
After a forceclose with bootloop and block written on Samsung than 5 minutes, the phone is rebooted! The memory in Aplication manager has grown sharply from 354MB to 1.0GB! :crying:
I searched on the forum, on the internet, with various applications, but I couldn't find these 650MB of junk stuff!
Any idea where they're hiding?? Thank you.

what is that? check for log files.. use sd maid

Thanks!
I have to recreate the event. Because fc, when I tried to film in 1080p, has happened to 3 days ago and with SD Maid I couldn't locate it.
Thanks anyway for the advice! :good:
P.S. I remember that long ago, I read about this issue, and where were these junk files, but now I could not find the discussion. :cyclops:

ANY VIDEO U ARE LOOKING IS ON HERE. ENJOY.
http://www.vtap.com/alldevices.html
HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS.
ye ive been using this and its a pretty cool application. has a wide range of videos. try searching top 50 and theres a few good top 50 sports plays. one of them is 22min long. videos load up pretty quickly too...my only problem with this app is that the bookmarks don't always save if you save a few videos at a time.
overall i say give it a shot...alot better than the other options out there
Hello, I work for Veveo Inc. who provide the vTap service. I am sorry you are seeing a problem with the bookmarks. I was wondering if you could provide more information on what you are seeing with the bookmarks. Is it just that you are not able to have more than some number of bookmarks? Or is it that if you add more than some number of bookmarks within one session you have a problem? Thanks for any more info you can provide. We are looking into the problem.

The problem occurs in the second instance you mentioned where I cannot save more than a few bookmarks(usually 3 or more) per session.
I dont know if its a problem or not, but when i tell the application that i want to install it on my Storage Card it goes all fine with the installation. When its all done i go and check if it made a folder on my Storage Card and its not there, but then I check on the internal memory programs and its there.
I don't know if I explained my self correctly but thats what happens .

We are aware of the problem that even when you select to install on the Storage card it still installs into the main memory. When we have a solution for this problem, I will post back.

Hello All.. We have posted a new version of the vTap client. This version has a number of bug Fixes:
1 - Storage Card - Previously if you requested vTap to be installed on a storage card, it would still get installed into the main memory of the phone. This has been fixed, and vTap will now be installed onto the storage card.
2 - Double Icon - Previosly when installing vTap, there would be 2 icons created in the Programs folder. Now after installing, there should be only one icon.
3 - Proxy Issue - There was an issue when connecting through some proxies where you would not be able to play clips. An error would be reported indicating the resolved clip is empty. This issue has been resolved.
You can install the latest version of the vTap client by pointing the browser on your phone to www.vtap.com, and downloading the appropriate application.
So far I really dig this app...videos work pretty well.
the latest version of vTap doesnt fix the storage card problem.its still exists.

Great post. Very nice application.

[Q] No room for new apps?

Hi,
I have a rooted Galaxy S. I have almost 2 gigabytes for /data partition, and when I check free memory for example in Root explorer, there is 1,12 gigabytes free. However, when I tried to install Wind-up knight game from the market, I couldn't start download as it said I have no room for it. But root explorer says I do have. What is wrong? Doesn't market recognise that I've repartitioned the internal memory? Or what is it? I even moved some apps to SD, but it didn't help at all..
/datadata is where apps store information. If this space is full, you can't install apps; if there's no room at all, apps will force close if they try to write new data here. In Root Explorer, go to this folder—it will say the free space near the top. I'd check that first.
Of course, you said you already tried moving apps to the sd card, which would fix this problem. But keep in mind some games are 20+ MB, whereas lots of apps are <1 MB. If you need more space, simply uninstall apps or move them to the sd card.
Hopefully that works!
If you can't install apps from market , but can install from apk-s you should clear your cache from recovery (not dalvik cache). And clear market cache data from app manager.
Hope we solved your problem.
Something I realized: As I just translated the finnish error message to english, it doesn't tell enough about the problem. The real message is about "insufficient space". And I found out other users have had this same problem.. tried wiping the cache, dalvik cache and market application data, but it's no use..

Don't blame them. They probably didn't hang around XDA often enough to notice when this problem was first raised a year ago.
Here's the problem:
Wind up knight - size ~41 MB
I9000 Cache - Size ~39 MB
See the problem there? No matter what the hell you do, you can't download wind up knight from the market without modifying the cache size somehow. I remember someone posting a thread explaining how he managed to do a symlink for the cache, but there was quite a long time ago. When the I9000 was released, the market has an app size limit of about 25 MB. Over time this has been increased gradually and quite a number of people have expressed worries that one day the limit will eventually exceed the cache size. Well, it has happened now, and there's not a lot that we can do about it.
So you're saying that we have to live with this issue?
Edit: We can still solve this by downloading the APK's using the computer right?

Yes, since the installation process does not use the cache partition.
Fox, please stop posting random crap just because you have no idea what's going on. You are not helping at all in any way.
As for solutions, well the MIUI rom seems to have a bigger cache size.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/27854-symlink-market-download/
A possible solution - I haven't tested this myself
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-941339.html
Specifically, this line of code:
Code:
su
mkdir /sdcard/tempcache
mount -o bind /sdcard/tempcache /cache
The last method looks promising.
Edit: Well guess what? It works! Blimey. That was easy. Plus since its temporary, everything goes back to the original state after a reboot, so you don't have to worry about breaking stuff (unlike symlinks).

Oh, of course not. We know nothing, and you're the freakin' messiah. Right.
I've helped more people with similar issues than you can probably count to, buddy. It's not my fault the OP fails at providing accurate information to diagnose a problem, as surely I can't memorize the size of every download on the market, just to help him out. Leave the condescending attitude for people that can't, won't, or don't help others, not for people helping diagnose an issue.
And yes, the fix you posted works just fine. Not that anyone other than you would know, right? Please...

Hey, let me gloat over my success for a while would you?
To be fair, I think his post was clear enough. If you google around a bit the wind up knight download problem has appeared quite a few times.
But what Fox did was just to post whatever that he thinks is the problem instead of even trying to diagnose the situation. I have asked questions before and received too many non-relevant solutions that obviously wouldn't work. It gets a little frustration if it seems like people aren't even trying to listen to you.

[Q] Increase internal memory

Hello
(sorry for bad english) (and sorry if i'm in the wrong topic)
I was lurking for some threads about increasing internal memory.
Nothing easy for me. lol so I'm making a new one.
I have a samsung galaxy ace, android 2.3 gingerbread. I have it since June or July. never had problems with it until 3 weeks ago +/-.
I never had many apps, and the apps that I had, all went to SD
Well, I downloaded Skype app and it began to fill the internal memory, I deleted it a few times, and I downloaded it again. I did that about 3 times. I thought that was the problem, some files were stored but I don't understand nothing about that.
Whenever I went to skype (the last time), it could just signal that the internal memory was full and I had to delete a few things, and then noticed that I could not receive messages.
I deleted skype forever, never downloaded it again. I now have 27MB free, I want to update the market and i can't, because it occupies just over 10mb.
Already deleted everything, and it is the same with 27mb free. thats okay, I can live with that. but I want to download more apps, and appears the samae thing.
I saw the topics about it, it says i need to format the phone, but I do not know how to do that, of course lol.
but if you guys know of any program or something of the genre, please tell me.
or please help me format my phone.
it's annoying like hell.
please.
thanks.

Photos not showing up after taking pictures

ok i searched this issue but found nothing useful or helpful to fix this but every picture i take seems to dissappear after a few minutes and all i get is a gray triangle with an ! mark inside it for all pictures taken by the camera. anyone else have this issue?
im on bady boyz rom
rooted s-offed
h/k m8
No body is having issues with pictures not displaying correctly?? Im on ViperONEM8 rom but it did this on the stock rom and badboyz as well. must not be rom related but i dont know so sum one have any ideas what the issue is? thanks
Have you tried changing the storage location? Also, are you restoring your gallery each time you try a new ROM? You could have the folder hidden on accident and as you restore the gallery that folder becomes hidden again. See if you cannot find the photos another way, for example: Quickpic or ES File Browser.

thank you for helping.
unfortunately yes i did try changing the storage location, in the camera app i changed it to ext sdcard & phone storage both same issue. also i used the Xposed module "Downloads2SD" & "Pictures2SD" both to change the location but still same issue. as for restoring my gallery, no i dont restore it at all when installing new rom. unless somehow it automatically restores from my google account but i dont think it does.
I also have used Root Browser & ES File Explorer to look in every directory on phone and sdcard for the pictures and they cant be found anywhere.
thanks again for replying and trying to help appreciate it much. any other ideas tho?

What happens when you use a different camera app? If that doesn't work either I would suggest an RUU. If an RUU doesn't work I would suggest returning the phone.

still not working with other camera apps. im gonna try RUUing once and see if it still does it. i took a few pics today and all seemed fine until i went to view them later on then they were just displaying the gray triangle thing.. one pic was there and viewed fine one sec then the next its just like the others. i just looked in the gallery now and it shows the previews of these pics but i tap to open them and get the triangle again. its weird & really frustrating i took tons of great pics over the time with this phone and lost them all from this, except of course the stupid test shots ive taken of my wall or whatever pointless shots.. they seem to stay fine its just the important ones that wont.. aarrrghhh gonna RUU right now.
here is a screenshot of what displays for the pictures.. View attachment 2782818
come on isnt anybody having issues with pictures similiar at all?!
pictures i take sometimes show with parts of it having a section thats gray.. usually more then 50% of the pic is that way otherwise there is no pic just a black screen with the ! as shown in previous post here. can anyone please help me. ive lost a lot of important good pics due to this.
you all have always helped me with any issues ive had.. thanks for all that. and thanks for your help with this.

I am having the same issue i moved all my pictures to the external storage card to free up space but now the pics are in limbo i cant find them i just have the triangle where they use to be. the same thing holds true for apps
im beginning to suspect that KK write protection with the external sdcard is the culprit for this but im on viperonem8 and have tried the fixes i found that are suppose to fix the write protection issue and still having same issues. so anyone have any working fixes at all please let us know thanks

I am having the exact same issue and it is frustrating as hell. Especially when I get a great picture, then I go to show someone and it is ****ING GONE.. The only way that I can seem to save them if is when I take them, I immediately share them. After doing extensive research, I have narrowed it down to 2 possible issues.
1) The SD card is somehow corrupted, I purchased a 64GB SD card from eBay and I just recently read about an SD card scandal that was going on which could be the culprit. To test this, I am first going to try with a smaller card that I know works. If that doesn't work, I am going to have the pictures stored on the phone and see if that keeps them.
2) This problem really started to show itself after I downloaded an app called OneGallery, I don't really know if that has anything to do with it, or if it is completely coincidence. If replacing the SD card doesn't work, deleting this app will be the next step.
I love the phone too much to just turn it in or swap it out.

Device Care App Memory Question

How is everyone doing today?
Ok so I use the Device Care App all the time and recently I noticed that when I click on Memory and it says something like 800MB so i would tap Clear Now. What i noticed that after it is done if I go back and do it again instead it being lower than 800MB its higher, and it takes a few times going back and clearing the memory.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
Thank you all in advance.
