Hey all!
I've run into an error lately I've never run into before. Was just curious if anyone else has experienced this. I definitely have searched for people having the same issue, read a couple different threads on different sites, and still have no idea what is causing it.
I am running a few different nandroids of CM7-Nightlies. (I know they are nightlies and can't be expected to not have broken features, but my apps are having issues going onto my SD card. Sporadically.
If I try and move an app that normally goes to SD no problem (eg. Angry Birds, Dropbox, AK Notepad, etc.) I get the error "Failed to move application. There is not enough storage left".
It's interesting, because some apps move just fine. And some apps that normally don't allow me to move them to SD, allow me to now. For instance, I was able to move Facebook, Google Maps, Gmail, Voice Search, You Tube and many other official apps like that to my SD. But Dropbox, Angry Birds, etc. output the error.
I am on a 003 hardware Evo running CM7 Nightly 13 with the stock kernel.
I have reformatted my SD card 2 days ago, and threw a couple things back on it that I backed up. If anyone can point me in the right direction as to how to cure this I would be very thankful. Otherwise I'm going to suspect this is a CM7 issue and I'll shut up now.
Thanks again!
I also having this problem. Can't find any thread about this in the Nexus One section and found this thread using Google. I am running CM7 RC1 on the Nexus One. Some apps move fine but some won't move. I am thinking the problem is with the app itself, not the firmware.
i'm having the same issue with my htc aria cm7 nightly 12 & 13 (only 2 i used so far)
This just happened to me but I'm using CM7 on Desire, does anyone else have any idea why is this happening and how to resolve this?

I did have the same problem as you after upgraded to CM7. Was suggested by other people to try DarkTremor APP2SD.. it basically create a partition the memory card and trick the phone to think that as internal memory. As of now, I no longer having to constant moving apps to SD and worry about download apps!! i have 1 gb internal space now and it completed the phone! Try it
make note of the apps that is doing the problem..then uninstall them then reinstall..problem fixed

I am having same problem with the BB GPA on my NS4G.
i am also having this problem on nexus s running ics b9. re-formatted internal sd and it will let me move a few apps then the error starts again. could simply be a prob with b9?
edit: nvm, did what the guy above said, uninstalled app, reinstalled and it moved to sd.
I used the windows 7 format for my sd card and used the 4096 kb allocation size. if i used the "default allocation size" I would still get the error. Try that and see if it works. Mine works perfectly now.
Had this problem and figured out that is was only with apps I restored with MyBackup Pro., but only if I restored the app and the data at the same time. If I restored the apps, moved to sd, then restored data, it works.
I had a similar problem with one app, turns out it left a file in /system/data (think that was the dir) deleted file with root explorer and restored the app with titanium. I would poke around data, and app dirs and see if there are some old files there,

You could try to reinstall the app with titanium backup.
Rooted Android software is not able to recognise the apk file as move2sd function is enabled. Try moving the app using link2sd back to the phone and the app should move back.

Remounting the sd card or changing the permissions of /sdcard might help.

This afternoon I had around 800-900 MB of free storage in my phone's internal storage. Suddenly in the late evening, I got a notification that disk space is low. I checked the space usage and saw the remaining space is less than 50 MB! I did not use the phone since afternoon except playing Bubble Bash & Doodle Jump. What is more weird is within 7-10 minutes space came down to around 8MB!! I immediately restarted my phone and wiped cache and dalvik cache. This stopped the space auto-decrease weirdness but I did not regain my lost space back, and have no idea where it went!! I am using MIUI ROM at present and will really appreciate if someone can help me without me having to backup/restore my data. Thanks, Abhi.
It shows that some bad apps you installed were silently downloading or expanding something in the background. You have to trace back and narrow down from which app recently you installed caused this memory issue. Otherwise, a clean flash rom would be a good start.
^^Seems logical. However, my data plan expired one week back and I haven't reactivated it yet. So downloading is ruled out. Also, I have not installed any app in the past few days. So I don't get it why this will suddenly happen!! I also checked all the apps' data usage, and it was normal for all of them. Most probably I will end up wiping but I am still dumbfounded!!
Sometimes the data run even if it expired. Not sure how to explain this. Or some trojan/virus self expanding is resides in your system.
Installing anti virus might detect it. I'm using AVG full version anti virus. It scan every files installing or moving around the system or in the sdcard. So far so good..

Had this problem a month ago, too.
I deleted some apps and rebooted 2 or 3 times and the problem was solved. But i don't know why.

Can you tell me what were the apps that you removed?
No, I deleted just some of the apps I don't need hoping to get more free space.
Sorry, but I already said it was like a month ago or so.
I can't remember, but it was really strange and weird.
Ended up resetting!! This thread can be closed now!
My wife installed the ota update from Rogers today.
Now, anytime she opens one of her folders the phone freezes and the error appears.
Any ideas?
I ultimately had to boot into recovery and cleared the cache, did a factory reset and rebooted. It worked fine after that. Got stuck on a call once after, but no more issues after that. Make sure to backup anything off your local storage before you do this, since these steps will wipe all your data.

Right after update the same thing happened to me, I factory reset the phone and recreated the folders and touchwiz worked ok for few days then at some point I ran the battery down to empty and the phone shutdown. Putting it back on the charger and turning it back and now touchwiz home crashes again when using folders.

This is crazy. Coming from a rom I would imagine this stuff to happen but an official update? I really don't want to have to listen to the complaining if I need to reset the phone.
Yeah i had various issues with the official Rogers Jelly Bean update too so I just flashed a custom rom. I never felt the need for it when I was on ics but one day after the update I flashed the Jedi Invasion custom rom. Rogers JB ws just pissin me off.
Same here. I noticed that the crash from one folder only. Then narrowed it down to the app that caused it - removed it from folder then re added it.
Works great now.

I get a crash in /system/app with ES File Explorer. How can I narrow it down to one file?
For me it crashes with any app in a folder.
Yup, same here. Started when creating a folder. After the reboot, folder is created.
But everytime I even 'grab' an icon on any homescreen (like to move it to the trash at the top), it freezes and Touchwiz closes.
Flashed the full, official ROM 3 times, downloaded 3 seperate times, on 3 different computers with 3 different cables.
A buddy that has an SGS3, never rooted or messed with, did the OTA and has the same issue. Another buddy did the same exact steps as me, same files, computer and cable, does not have the issue.
What the heck is going on here?!!?
I'm very disappointed with this update.

I spent ALL day trying to fix this and I think I finally did! I updated to jelly bean from Telus and all of my folders where crashing with the TouchWiz error whenever I tried to close out of them.
I found a post suggesting to go into application manager, find TW and clear all data (not just cache). When I did, all of my home screens lost my folder and app shortcuts BUT the crash was gone and has not returned even after recreating some folders!!
I guess it was the old folder shortcuts that weren't meshing with the update? Who knows I'm just glad it's fixed. I hope it works for you too.

I've done this several times as well. After I set up my home screens as I like them, after a few hours the issue always comes back.
Just letting you know, I'm willing to bet that it'll be back...
So after plenty of testing, at least for myself, I found that the cause of this error was that I had my app menu in 'list' view as opposed to a 'grid' view.
So anyone coming across this thread with the same issue, that might be the problem (that is, if you use list view. If not, I'm stumped...)
I have the same issue when opening any folder, I am also using the list view for apps.My friend also has the same issue and he too uses the list view.After clearing data in TouchWiz Home the problem goes away but eventually returns and always returns immediately after a battery drain.I will try again but this time I will NOT use the the List View and report back.Hopefully we can find the
cause of this, as the carriers dont seem concerned about it.

I came across this forum while searching for this exact problem. I had tried clearing the touchwiz data, but that turned out to be a temporary bandaid as it came back.
The touchwiz crashing just started happening to me again tonight, , but after seeing this I switched my app view to grid mode and I could immediately use my folders again without any issues. I'll report back after some time to see if it stays away.
And I too am with Rogers.
Folder Bug - List view, grid view
I also can confirm a folder crash freeze with list view on a Telus I747m Jellybean 4.1.1 I747MVLDLK4 .
I noticed it happens after a reboot with list view enabled. Switching back to grid view and folders work again.
Thank you for your help guitarguy :good:
Rogers ota update touchwiz trouble
I received the rogers ota update and had trouble with touch wiz and getting the same error message everyone else has been getting, and simply thought if I call "rogers" for assistance or search the net it may be time wasted so simply did a factory reset after backing up all my apps and data which google has done a good job of backing up I also have a 32 gb memory card with all my data installed on, so it wasn't much trouble at all.So what you can do is slowly uninstall all your apps if you have few or just do the factory reset.But as I recall my phone was considerably hindered by this problem with touchwiz.I reinstalled all my apps with wifi.
I just discovered the new photosphere and other google apps that have been released and wonder if these will also soon be released in a future over the air update and wonder if I should just bite the bullet and install the roms now. Does anyone have any idea what the intentions are? Can we expect these within six months in another update or sooner?
best
Fixed by disabling list view. Thanks.
Hi, anyone heard of pics disappearing? They show in the gallery as just solid grey. Details say they are 0 for height and width. They still have a file name ending in. Jpg. Oh, and orientation says 0. Its only a few of my more recent pics and I'm currently on jb 4.2.2. Aokp build 5 special specifically.
Using the latest gapps. Downloaded quick pic and same result. Except it says load failed.
Basically they now seem to be a jpg with no data or image.
Its only happened since I've used 4.2.2. Flashed ptmr3's rom yesterday....pics still dead.
And they are on internal storage. I don't have an sd card.
Any help appreciated.

Did that. Maybe it'll help with new pics...but the ones missing are still missing. They were there several days ago. Now they seem to be empty jpg's. Just worried I'll lose something great, like of the kiddies. I've copied everything to laptop.
Hoping to find the cause....so it doesn't continue. Googleing this came up with a lot of similar unsolved issues and a lot that seem to be seperate issues.
This phone is my camera. If I can't solve this, guess I gotta buy a real camera. They still sell those....right?

Re: Pictures disappearing
I'm thinking it is probably the newer camera app on 4.2.2 roms. Going to try a different camera app, see if it happens with it anytime soon.

Re: Pictures disappearing
Try Camera ICS from the play store.
Re: Pictures disappearing
I'll try that! Ty!
Still hope a wise android guru will know the cause of this tho! Lol
Sent from my cell phone telephone....
Just took a bunch of pics with camera ICS.....which I do prefer over stock 4.2.2 camera.
Deleted most of them. And bingo! The dead pics are pics I deleted, bit for some reason the file for some didn't go away, but had no image or data left. Deleted them a second time and they were gone.
I'm glad I know now that I'm not losing pics I don't want to lose, but still wondering why they don't fully delete.
Sent from my cell phone telephone....
Well its good that camera ICS worked for you. The best part is you didn't lose your important pics.
So what happened today, I was just managing some files on my HTC One in Windows. Deleting a few files and then all of a sudden the progress bar stops responding when I went to delete a folder. Not sure if the folder matters or not but either way, I clicked 'cancel' since the progress bar wasn't moving and I figured I would just delete the files in there later.
Unplugged phone and all of a sudden, there were 0 files on my internal memory. I tried to reboot and still nothing, no files showed up on my internal memory and the storage shows the same with most space being free.
I'm not really sure why that happened but I guess just a warning for anyone else out there to learn from my mistakes.
This has happened to me before on a different computer with a different phone (Galaxy Nexus). Both have no sd-card and use the MTP protocol for connecting to Windows. I think there might be a bug in the way that Android handles that with files but I can't prove it.
Any tips on data recovery?
I don't think there's anything you can do. Sorry bud.

Will do, once I am able to get the data off. So far I was able to get the memory block off and I can 'see' the deleted files but I can't quite recover them just yet. I am going to try a good recovery software.
I've tried a couple of things but so far it doesn't look too good for most of my files.
Try this out. I have not tested but I seen this thread when I was on GNEX http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1994705

That's what I was following. I was able to get the raw mmc block off the phone and I started the process some 20 minutes or so after the incident. So there shouldn't be much over written. However, following those steps and using the same application, I can't seem to get any of my wanted files.
My next step is try something like extundelete.
Sorry to hear

Looks like I was unable to get any of my data back.
I just don't seem to understand exactly what went wrong so it's very difficult fix/reverse. I tired multiple different tools and different ways but never got proper files back.

Same thing (maybe) happened to me, posted awhile back, closer to this things release. A factory data reset is what brought it back. I still struggle to understand how this phone mounts storage, but the reset cleared it up. It has not happened again, but I quit fooling around in /shell/emulated/0 and switched to TWRP to manage backups.

I'll give that a try tomorrow and try to keep usage to a minimum today but I fear it may be too late already since I record ~3-4GB worth of video yesterday after I gave up. I had no other but to record.
Yea, it seems it didn't work at all. Oh well, at least I know for the future if it ever happens again what to try.
