Am I the only one with this problem?
I don't know when this problem started happening but when ever I go to watch videos from places like youtube, they play in the flash player anywhere from 2s to 5s and then the video restarts.
If I play the same video in youtube app, it works fine.
I can't figure out a solution to the problem.
Steps I've taken so far:
1. Restarted Phone
2. Cleared Flash cache
Space:
SD Card Total Space :1.84GB, Available space 438MB
Internal Total Space :6.60GB, Available space 3.04GB
Phone Total Space :748MB, Available space 538MB
I have the same exact problem and can't figure out a solution. Any ideas?
I just gave up on it and installed a rom with Froyo in it. Nobody ever replied and told me how to fix it. Once installing a new ROM I had no problems with it.

This has been a problem with my device since the very begining, and I would like to know if it's a general problem with Android, if it's a specific problem with the Wildfire S, or if it's just that god hates me and he gives me the devices with all the horrible bugs (see this thread for my other inexplicable bug that no one else seems to have).
Sometimes, when I go into the market and try and download app updates, the update goes through it's process of installation, the progress bar fills up and everything... then right as it's about to finish I get an error. "Update failed, please try again." It's very inconsistent too, sometimes I'll try and download an update a few times, and on the third attempt it gets it. Other times the app won't be able to update for months at a time. My mobile has been trying to get an update for "Cut the Rope" for over 3 weeks now. It gets so annoying I turn the WiFi off because he keeps throwing "Updates Available!" notifications at me that are completely useless to me.
Anyone else have this? Or is my WF-S just cursed?

Try clearing your cache. How much room have you got on your cache partition and in your data paritions?
It has to download a 15 meg or whatever installer for Cut the rope, then unpacking it then install it then delete the original installer. That takes more than 15 megs.
How do I clear the cache?
Also, can't it use my microSD? I have a 32GB card in there.

Use it for what? Can you give me some details? Is your phone S-OFF, rooted, etc?. How much internal memory do you have right now, etc.

You said that when an app is downloaded it needs to first download a 15 MB "cache partition", I was wondering why it can't use some of the space on the microSD. As for rooting, I have a GSM Wildfire S, from what I understand those are difficult to Root... so no, I've never rooted it, and I don't think it's S-Off (I'm not sure how to check that...)
I think I have 31 MB of free internal memory capacity...
pm setInstallLocation 2 and Apps2SD with Tutorial
Forget all you heard from me before as it seems to have served to confuse you which is fine. No worries.
Read this thread
Where it says to type "adb shell pm setInstallLocation" instead to be safe type:
"adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2" which tells the phone to try to install an app to your sd card by default. 0 is auto and 1 is internal.
Keep in mind that it doesn't move 100% of the app to the phone. App libraries, Dalvik cache data and application cache data will stay on the internal memory but it will buy you some space.
That's it.
PS:
Go somewhere and get your phone XTC-Clipped. You will have a lot more options to create space such as Link2SD which moves the apps, app libraries and dalvik cache files to a second external partition you create.
The nice thing about it is DOES allow you to move widget apps and they work.
Another nice thing about it is when you put your phone into usb mass storage mode, even though the primary partition on it with all your own data, pics etc, gets unmounted in the phone and unusable, the second partition doesn't unmount and you can still run all your apps that are linked to it.
Get clipped! If you have enough for a 32 GB card you have enough to spend $20 to get your phone clipped.
Now
When you are done this REBOOT your phone.
Go to this Android Marketplace link and download apps2sd
WATCH the video tutorial and then start moving apps off your internal memory to your SD card.
Beware not to move things that have widgets you want to use like say Doubletwist music player or Battery Monitor. The widgets will no longer function.
Somewhere in that program is a clear application cache choice as well. Clean up your cache for more room.
30 megs is not enough to download AND install Cut The Rope to your internal memory plus your auto sync will stop working when you drop below 18 megs or so of internal space.
Buy yourself some S-ON room with that setup.
If you want to move individual programs to or from the SD card to the phone and back, etc, you can go to /Settings/Applications/Manage/ scroll to and click on the application in question and choose the option to "Move to Phone" or "Move to SD Card".
Cheers.
I see... and this is all low risk right? I mean, getting updates to Cut the Rope would be nice, but it's not the biggest priority in the world, lol.
Also... I'm working on getting that Clip, if I have to I might just buy one... 67$ would still be cheaper than going out to buy a Nexus (from what I hear those are the easiest to Root). This clip would work with a GSM device right? That's how it does it's thing, by plugging into the SIM slot?
Hello Fellows!
I just rooted my galaxy SIII, and now i've installed the avatar ROM. Everything is working wel, only i now have a problem that there seems to be something eating up free space. Only this is nowhere to be seen.
Windows also says that the internal memory on the phone has only 1,7gb of free memory. Only there is really nothing te be found responsable. Even if i manually flip through every directory there is.
Also on the phone itself is nothing that indicates large soms of space in use by anything. I attached a screenshot of the storage display in the settings menu. if you look at the graph on top, you can clearly see that the free space is almost everything of the 11,35 gb, only the indicator says there is only 1.7gb.
I googled my ass of, but i can't seem to find a solution. I sure hope enyone here does?
Greetings Marten.
Yes! I finaly fixed it!
I reinstalled the rom, but before i did, i just virtually executed every format option in clockwork recovery, exept format recovery and format external sd. This took care of it!
Then i got 11.10/11.35gb free!
Thanks for reading my post anyway
Hello guys, this is my first post so if there's something wrong I apologize.
Well, I installed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...cyanogenmod-12-alpha-1-n7100-t2949644/page785 following the flash instructions. Everything was working fine, till now.
First, when I connect my phone on my computer, it doesn't show every file I have. This started like half an hour ago (I installed the rom yesterday).
If connected as Camera, it only shows internal storage. If connected as media device, it shows internal and sd, but on sd just show 2 folders (out of 10).
In file manager (on cellphone), I can see everything.
I didn't change anything that could cause this. I already tried cleaning data of media storage, rebooting, unmounting and mounting sd, nothing worked.
Second, when I was using stock rom, I used MX player and could see some videos that are on my sd. Now with CM12.1, there are some that I can't. It says HW decoder is not supported, and in SW mode it hasn't audio. Is there some incompatibility known with some video formats?
Another thing is that Google play services keeps stopping, but that doesn't really bothers me
Can somebody tell me something to do?
Thanks
So I restored my phone to stock after soft bricking it.
And after setting up all my apps & settings, everything was working 100%.
Then I uninstalled one-too-many system apps and it killed my framework.
So I restored a couple stock image IMG's and got things working fine again.
A couple hours later I was super happy with things, so I went ahead and copied all my music files from my computer onto the Pixel XL.
I left 3.1 GB of free space on the Pixel (32gb version) and went out for the night.
Quickly, I discovered that suddenly 3/4 of my installed apps would force close when opening them. At first I thought my attempt to restore IMG's was the issue. I tried rebooting, wiping app cache, uninstall/reinstall apps... nothing worked.
But just now I deleted my Music folder, rebooted and now have like 17 GB free space available.
And voila, all the apps that were force closing are now working fine.
I've had other phones with like 1GB free space (not recommended) that were still working fine. So what's going on here?
welcome to the future.... lol STREAMM specially when you only have 32gb. but your music library must be huge.
Stream = data usage when not on wifi.
Soon I'll have my android car stereo up and running with hundreds of GB's of storage, so this won't be a big deal later on.
Still kinda annoying though.

I did something very similar, you might have messed up your userdata partition, format it in fastboot (fastboot format userdata) and then reset up your phone and see if you still only have that tiny bit of space. When I messed it up, under storage in settings my system was calculated to be 19.99 gigs when I formated the userdata it dropped to under 5.5
Hope this helps and good luck!
I had to buy the 128GB just so I could have my 70GB of music available without the need to stream.
The tablet is Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T211). The gallery won't open pictures any more. It shows the thumbnails but if i tab on a picture thumbnail the tablet freezes and after while i get a message 'gallery stopped working'. The same happens with any other gallery apps i installed and tried to view the images.
I did a hard reset but this didn't fixed the problem.
I thought the problem might be with the sd card but the same thing happens if the pictures are saved on the internal memory.
I think to install custom recovery, root the tablet, and flash a custom rom, though i am not sure this will help.
Any ideas what might be causing this?

How much free infernal memory you got? Have you cleaned your cache or is it maybe 1GB? I think its the storage..
The problem was the sd card. I removed it and the problem was gone.
