i had been using lineage kminilte since i installed it in 2019 without any serious problems. the only bug it had, that it used to crash when more than 93% of the storage was filled. Then I did free up some storage space before booting up, by just loading the Team Win Recovery Project and using its advanced mode to browse to my internal sdcard and delete uneccesary files from some app cache directories.
OK, about 2 weeks ago something unexpected happened. I booted by phone, and directly opened an app to work with it. Suddenly the phone crashed. After I rebooted it, all personal data were gone. It acted like being a newly installed LineageOS. Also, when going into the system settings, the storage only contains about 33%, instead of over 80% like it used to be earlier.
The phone acts healthy apart of this. No noticable trace of ageing.
What could have happened?

When I install a bunch(or even 3 or so) apps at once from the market, the phone reboots. Likewise when I do a few of memory intensive things at once. I was finally at home and ready for it when it happened so I pulled a logcat right after it rebooted. Is there a problem or is it just one of a pitfalls of this device, when the memory gets overloaded it reboots?

I had this problem and my phone had no space on it. I cleared out the /cache directory and everything started working.
So where do I start?
I rebooted my droid bionic, UNROOTED, pretty much stock.
When it booted back up, I noticed that some shortcuts on my home screen weren't working.
When I went to run them from the app draw, they weren't there either.
I seen this same problem on my D2G when I was running a class 10 SD card with apps saved to the SD card. The diffidence here though was that apps were saved to the internal storage vice the SD card.
When I went to manage apps, my hunch was correct. It was only affecting programs which were moved to the internal storage.
When rebooted again. It would affect other programs and sometimes even recognize the programs it failed to on the last boot.
I did a factory (hard) reset and that still didn't fix the issue.
I then brought the phone to Verizon and gave them a demonstration.
They then tried it on their phones in the store and came to the decision that this is something affection all droid bionics.
If anyone else is having this issue please feel free to come forward. There weren't any bug reports on this yet, so make sure you let your local store know to put it in their forums so this can be addressed quickly.

I'm using TurboStock. A few days ago, I started having this issue were my Gallery, Camera, and basically any other app that involved me using my internal or external memory, say that I don't have any more memory available on my phone, when I have at least 3 gigs of external SD space and 2 gigs of internal space. I found out that the issue has something to do with the Google Frameworks Services process, if I clear the data and reset the phone, it all starts working again, but after a few minutes, the issue comes back again.
I'm pretty sure this had something to do with me transferring songs over Songbird. After I made the transfer and disconnected my phone, I started having this issue. Any ideas on why the issue might be coming up again?
Well, almost random.
I noticed it more when I turn on the screen, input pin code, then it restarts. Not every time but frequently. It also happens when I am using it for a few minutes.
It started today.
I haven't installed anything.
And I'm on vacation abroad right now.
So I can't even copy my personal data to a laptop & restore to factory settings.
Because there's no external memo card.
Are you happy Samsung?
You've really caused a havoc.
Because I can't go on like this.
I need my office to navigate & communicate with people.
I can't have it restarting every 6 mins!!!
I cleared system cache from boot menu
II cleared apps cache
Still randomly restarting.
I have been the owner of this Samsung Galaxy S9 for about 13 months now, and earlier today my battery died. When I turned the phone back on after partial charging, it acted extremely strangely. It rebooted to the secure boot pin screen a few times, and even to recovery mode a couple of times, rebooting about every 3 minutes. But that isn't it; wifi and cellular refused to connect, the screen would not go off if I pressed the power button, the settings app would not open, many other apps barely works, and the device was very slow for the time it was on.
I did the usual troubleshooting steps, clearing the cache in recovery mode, booting into safe mode, uninstalling recently installed apps, scanning with Knox and Malwarebytes, nothing. But, I remembered the day before, inside Samsung Gallery, there was a little text box before my images that said "SD Card has corrupted information, please back up your SD card and consider replacing it." I didn't think too much about it, or screenshot it. Well, to try something, I removed the SD card and booted normally. The only thing I changed that time was the lack of the SD card and voila, it worked fine. Haven't had an issue since, and I honestly think it might be running better.
For my amateur speculation/hypothesis: I believe when Android starts up, it tries to index installed SD cards. The card I am using is an old Samsung Evo 32 GB card, to the tune of 5+ years. Possibly, with the age of the card, there was light corruption in one folder or cell, and Android didn't know what to do with it. I can't find any corrupted files, but I guess Android hung on parsing the microSD card. I just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone had heard of something similar; I sure cannot find anything on it.
TL;DR: A corrupted microSD card in my Galaxy S9 caused Android to lose most function, and bootloop. Usual troubleshooting did nothing, however, removing the card returned the OS back to normal.
