[Q] Crashing, services dying - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was running CM 7.0 and now I'm running CM7.01 and every once in a while, like every month or 2 my phone apps will start crashing, saying the services are crashing and the phone just spirals down and I have to reload a backup. Even if the backup is just a couple days old it will reload and be fine for a while. This happens randomly here in San Diego but it also happened when I was in Hawaii back in March and it happened in New York in september also. But it has happened several times here at home. Not sure why, am I being spiked by someone or something, Verizon sending out something that crashes me?? Getting old dealing with it but luckily since I'm rooted with backups I can fix it pretty fast but I do lose all of my texts and anything I loaded since the backup. Weird stuff. This is the second ROM that this is happened with too, I was running the Heyitslou ROM, forgot the name right now but it happened on that too which made me try CM7.
I know my post is sorta vague but anyone else having this issue, any ideas????

Try running Fix Permissions in ROM Manager.

Tried that many times, also cleared Dalvic. It just seemes that after a while it wants to die. If other people aren't seeing this maybe it's my phone hardware??

sound like an issue with not enough free space in data data.

Just to make sure are you fully wiping or restoring system data?

It's from your /data/data folder filling up. Run "ng cache cleaner"

Actually I think I might have found the problem if this makes sense. I tried to copy some files off of my SD card and I found a bunch of read problems with my card and had to buy a new one. Could the SD card being bad make the whole phone crash?? Only time will tell if the problem is gone, if the crashing stops now with the new card. It was a kingston 32gb, Class 4. (piece of crap)

That could very well have been the problem. CM does depend on the SD card. I had the issue with force closes before. I simply copied everything from my SD card and reformatted it to FAT32, then copied everything back on to it and haven't had any issues since.

SD Card keeps becoming unavailable

Has anyone else come across the problem where the micro SD card seems to just stop being available to the phone? I'd say maybe once or so a day, anything that reads data from the SD card, such as the music app, stop working. If I try and play a song, it just hangs and does nothing.
I tried a search and somebody in the G1 forum had a similar problem but it didn't really contain any conclusions on what it is likely to be.
Anyone else had this issue? What is it most likely to be, the phone or card?
Thanks.
yeah I've had this occasionally with the camerea and seperately the 3d gallery software I installed.. have no idea why
Yea I've had that a couple of times actually. Just have to turn it off and on again and its ok, but its annoying.
Yeah, rebooting does sort it out, but it's starting to happen every day now, sometimes a couple times a day. If it's just a dodgy card or whatever I'd rather get T-Mobile to sort it sooner rather than later.
hmm a dodgy card.. included with the phone, that sucks
Backup your SD Card data and then try formatting it to see if that helps.
Cheers, will give that a go tomorrow. I might ring up T-Mob tomorrow anyway just to make them aware of the issue I'm having.
If I format it, will I be able to copy all the contents back on to it?

Yes, back it up to hard drive on your PC, then after you have formatted your SD card, copy back the contents from the hard drive to your Removable disk (SD card).
I've had this a few times Took the card out, reinserted and restarted the phone. Seemed to fix it, but it is annoying.
Sorry I can't remember when and how I know this.
But backup the card on your PC
Then format it in/with the phone and this should solve the problem I believe
I had killed one of my 16 GB card in Nexus one.
I found a problem that if i use Win 7 or Vista i must remove the device by using safely remove the USB device. Since now am doing this way i never had any problem.
Word of warning you could simply kill a card if you just remove a device.
My first thought was it has something to do with the USB connection. If you safely remove device in Windows - the phone 'prepares' the SD card.
I was having the same issue. I connected to the PC and mounted the SD card. I performed a disk check on the card and it found some errors which it then repaired. I then unmounted the card
I haven't had any issues since.
I formatted my card yesterday and haven't had any problems so far. thanks for the advice.
I ended up replacing the card. All of the previous advice didn't work for me or if it did it didn't last. I reckon there was a bit of a dodgy batch supplied by SanDisk.
~Since replacing I've had absolutely no problems whatsoever, it used to happen at least every 48hours. Very annoying when you try to take a photo and it tells you there's nowhere to save it.
I've been having problems too when taking pictures, which is really annoying!
And i'm not sure whether this is a related problem or not, but it could be...when trying to receive a file over bluetooth it sometimes says it doesn't have permission to receive the file or something along those lines, could this be the SD card playing up?
I'm on T Mobile, would they replace the SD card?
Not sure if it is the same reason, but I had all kinds of problems including the one you've described.
I'm on Orange, they told me that my SD card wasn't covered by Orange Care (the orange phone insurance). I said I didn't have Orange Care anyway and that surely it comes under the 12 months manufacturers warranty. They said pop it into the shop which is a bit of a drive and would cost me more than the value of a new card to get there.
At the time I wasn't certain it was the card as I didn't have a 2nd to try it with. Given my problem was very intermittent I decided the bother of going into the shop - it wasn't worth it for a £5 card. Now that I've bought a new one that works perfectly, I'm going to head into the shop with the old one next time I'm passing. The problem is I don't really need it replacing now! You could always lie and tell them you've tried your friends card at home for a couple of days and it worked perfectly?! No harm in trying.

Mhh - maybe I've had luck, but I use my over 1 year old 8gb cl6 card from magic/mt3g and never use that win function while unpluging anything (not while data transfer). So maybe depends on quality or manufacturer?

I hate to say it, but it will happen again. Have card reader or other phone prepared, just in case your sd card stops working totally

SD Card seems to be unmounting automatically...

Well, basically as the title says. This's happened several times to me already. Say I'll turn my phone on (from standby) I'll get a popup error saying that the backup was unable to complete because no SD card was found. Next, the music application won't load the songs because those're all stored on the card. Same for Photos/Gallery. When I go to ES File Explorer, the 'sdcard' folder reports that it is empty.
There hasn't been a pattern that I discovered. This just happened now when I woke up (phone left charging overnight; Wi-Fi & Sync enabled) and I decided to come post here. Happened again yesterday afternoon when I got my phone out to play some music on the way home.
Every once in a while, I'd get lucky and the files would show up by themselves, but the only fool-proof way I've found to get the phone working properly again is a restart, which takes several minutes to do.
I am NOT running any task manager (well, I was but when this problem started up I checked another thread which recommended to remove the task manager, so I did).
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Do you know of a fix, or is it just me?
Mine's done this a couple of times, but I've put it down to the SD card not being quite pushed home properly. Worth taking it out and cleaning the contacts.
Nope, that doesn't work. I re-inserted it yesterday (contacts were clean) and this morning woke up with the same problem.
Please tell me this isn't just happening to me, cause it'll be a right pain in the ass to have this repaired (sending abroad/etc).
Is the SD Card the one you got with the phone (4Gb) or another make/model size? Please include details so others can help more.
I have left the given Samsung Class 2 4Gb SD card in mine and I have never had any issues with the SD Card unmounting. This is not saying it won't happen, but for me it has been fine. I was going to upgrade to my other Sandisk 16Gb Class 2 that used to be in my Touch Pro, but will do that hopefully this evening.
So all I can guess is either a faulty card or some issue with Class/Size/Manufacturer of Card (if you changed from the Samsung one) ?
It's the stock 4GB card that came pre-installed in the phone. Phone's unlocked too, bought from Clove. If it helps/is relevant: when I loaded up the camera it gave an error saying something like 'no sufficient read permissions for SD card'*, maybe that'd be a clue to the problem.
*I can't quote exactly cause I've since restarted the phone and can't remember it word for word. If/when this happens again I'll post the exact error.
EDIT: There, it just happened again. Restarted the phone not even an hour ago, it's getting ridiculous. Anyway, the error from the camera reads "Unable to save file to SD card due to insufficient file permissions".
FWIW, when I go to SD & Phone Storage settings i CAN see the total and available space on the card. It's just completely inaccessible by the programs. Have also tried the 'SDMount' widget, did absolutely nothing.
Happens to me too but only when I've been letting go of my phone to put it down rather than placing it down, or if I have to drop it on my bed or chair quick.
Happened to me a lot too when I was using one of the lock screen info apps, to get my calendar info on the lock screen. Uninstalled and the SD card problem went away.

Never used that :/
I've uninstalled all apps that seemingly access the SD card and will start reinstalling one by one to see if the problem does come back. Only way I could think of.
It is happening to me also. The last 3 days is doing it at least twice a day , i have the desire almost one month and neved had this problem earlier.
And i though it was something i did.
i had the same camera permissions problem. restarted and havnt seen it again since. 4gb card that came with the unbranded device. no idea what caused it, could be any number off new apps etc :S
I've got the same problem.
I've already tried to reformat my SDcard, but the problem still exists. Another problem when the SD card unmounts, is the CPU usage. This rises to ~10% constantly. Probably cause of this are apps which are trying to write to my SDcard.
Still no solution found, maybe I'll try another SD card in a couple of days.
FWIW, I gave up on the stock card and copied all my stuff over to another 4GB card I had running around (straight copy) and it seems to be working fine now. Haven't had a problem yet, although it hasn't even been 24 hours.
Will report back if/when something comes up, and when I start re-installing the apps that I previously removed.
I wrote to HTC earlier yesterday describing the same problem, and I just received this reply:
Dear Mr.Matthew Thank you for contacting HTC. Maybe you mount it on the pc to copy nd paste something and you forgot to unmount it from the pc.. Are you using the inbox SD card? Did you install any third party applications to the phone? Please use the phone in Safe Mode. Safe mode terminates all installed running applications, in case if they caused this issue. Please backup what you have on the SD Card and Format it. If you have any other inquiries, don’t hesitate to contact us again. Please note that you can contact us via support line. For further details, please go to http://www.htc.com/europe/CA_Hotline.aspx , Thank you so much for using HTC products. Respect & Regards, HTC Team http://www.htc.com

i had this issue when I installed 'ebuddy'... uninstalled it and the problem is no more
It's started to occur on mine at least twice daily now, it wasn't so before about 4 days back. I've just actually restarted the device on getting such an error and apps complaining that they can't read/write to the SD card. Really after some sort of fix here.

You're right it seems that was my problem too.
I got rid off ebuddy and all is fine now
I've had this problem once so far, and reading the reply from HTC reminds me that I have unplugged my phone from my mac without unmounting it a few times...
I am also having this issue and have ebuddy installed! I shall uninstall it and see if it fixes it! I really hope it does because its starting to get annoying
I too have ebuddy installed and shall also try removing it and see if that fixes it!
I don't have ebuddy installed but just experienced the SD card error with the camera today.

[Q] Phone freezes when trying to access photos on ext. SD Card

I have 812 pictures in my Camera album on my external Toshiba 32GB Class 10 SD card. When I first got the phone in December, everything worked great, even after transferring from my EVO 3D. Now, whenever I try to access my stuff on my SD card through the Gallery app, it just freezes. I can hit home and exit the app, but back doesn't work and I cannot scroll anywhere. I can still access pictures via ASTRO and save stuff on to it..I just don't anymore, in case it goes corrupt. Any solutions? I tried searching, but no one seems to have the same problem as me..
Lol. Sounds like a simple cache issue with the gallery. Go to settings, application manager, all apps, find gallery, try clearing cache, and if that doesn't solve the problem, delete data. This will not delete your images. I think it may or may not delete your thumbnails. Just scroll over the images again and a thumbnail is remade. Nothing will harm your photos.

hmmm... I would normally say that the 800+ images in one gallery might be the cause of the problem. But you say that it was working fine previously. Even then, I'd recommend to split the images into different folders (maybe based on month they were taken) to minimize the amount of thumbnails that gallery has to process and look through.
I'm assuming you've done the MA6 and MB1 updates. Perhaps upgrading the phone to 4.1.2 caused this? I haven't heard of anything similar on XDA, but I'd stick with kkarson's approach and clear cache from the gallery app. Hope that works for ya!
Already tried clearing the cache and data from the Application Manager, but still the same results. I have a folder of old camera photos from my EVO 3D with 1780 photos in it, and it opens and I can view the photos perfectly fine, with no lag or freezing. But when I open the "Camera" folder on the ext. SD card, it just freezes and I have to go back to the home screen. I just upgraded to MB1 today and still the same results..

Maybe there's corrupted files on the SD card causing the phone to choke when it tries to read them. If you have windows 7 or XP you can put the card in your pc, (with a card reader or usb card reader), then right click on the card and choose properties. Select the tools tab in the properties box. The first option is error checking which will scan the disk and fix errors (if fix errors is checked). However, if there are corrupted files on the SD card it might be going bad and should be reformatted.
I have the same issue. I havent found a fix. I even formatted my external SD card.. didnt help.

No fix. Your Sd card is done. The fix is get a new one.
Also the op likely has Sd card problems and not a phone problem.

The card isnt that old and isnt giving any read/write errors.
I guess that could be the case.. its a class 10 Sandisk card.. I would think it would last more than a couple of months.

I'm looking at a Sandisk 32GB class 10 ultra card that I got right after xmas so it's only 3 mopnths old. It started spitting out corrupt files after only 1 month. Eventually I'll get another card. But if my phone ever random restarts, or suddenly locks up, or I notice media is using a lot of battery, I know if I run scan disk on the card it will show errors. It lasts for a few weeks between formats.
There are also tons of posts from people that have had sd card failures on this phone (also with new cards).
Scan of my card after phone acted up.

Dont worry you're not alone, theres a thread in general that had a ton of posts and the thread title was "If your sdcard failed on you, what recovery were you on?"
Many have had to purchase 2 or 3 cards until they got one that didnt go bad or corrupted. If you got the sdcard (the one that failed) very recently, you could call the manufacturer and tell them it failed on you, I'm sure they would send a replacement because I've seen others do it and they got their replacements in a timely manner

Pictures randomly became corrupt

Hi guys,
So the other day i go into the Gallery app and notice the photos that have been taken by the camera appear to be corrupt.
It is strange because it appears that the most recent pictures are viewable but majority of the older ones are not. All other album folders that i have created are fine.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so were you able to restore those images through the phone?
I'm sure if I connect the MicroSD card to a pc and use data recovery tools i can still retrieve them. I just find it kind of odd that it only happened to one particular album.
Images are being saved to a Sandisk MicroSD card.
Please see photos of what im referring to.
i've had 2 Sandisk microSD cards fail on me before. I read somewhere that sandisk cards is more prone to failure in samsung phones. Pity because my sandisk CF cards for my camera all work flawlessly. I went with Samsung 64GB cards. Last time they were on sale at amazon for pretty cheap.
It did that with a video of mine but it became normal a bit later. Kinda strange.
i had a similar thing happen to me and I had to format the extsd and it fixed whatever the issue was.
I'm having the exact same issue!
I just moved my SD card over from my note 3. Was working fine on that phone. Pictured look corrupt at random now but may appear back later on.
I'm gonna try backing up all my stuff and formatting.
Ya i find that very unusual. From my experience with external storage, when it becomes corrupt, most times all content is not readable. I guess im just going to have to do data recovery on the corrupt files, format it and transfer them back on to.
Same issue here. Noticed this a few weeks ago (2 or 3) and just deleted the blank images. Hasn't come up since then but I'll keep monitoring it.
Had this happen without the sd card...
Strongly suggest you hard reset if it happens on the device.
I had that happen on an SD card once and then ultimately everything got corrupted. Copy everything off it, Format it and copy back on.

SD card stopped writing

So this started Friday morning but I didn't know what the issue was. I use my SD card for caching music from my All Access Google Play music subscription, and I was actually streaming non-downloaded music at the time, and everything stopped working, and I kept getting errors about not being able to download. Didn't think much of it. Did the standard Routine, reboot, didn't work, so I cleared cache and uninstalled updates on play music and the service was working again and I didn't think about it again until I tried to take a picture later in the evening and got this in the gallery instead of the picture
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3418912&d=1437899706
Again I just did the standard stuff, rebooted, cleared cache and data to the gallery and camera app, but this time nothing was working. I finally decided to change my save location from my SD to my internal storage, and my pictures started saving again. So I connected the dots to what happened with Google Play Music earlier in the day, and checked my downloads, and nothing was downloaded anymore, option to save to SD was grayed out. Naturally I tried to format with the card in the phone, and it acted like it worked ok, but still showed I only had 11gb left of space, and still wouldn't work with anything. So I stuck it in my PC, and windows errors every time I try to format it. I tried with the default windows 8 formatting tool, I've tried with third party tools, same thing, won't format. Card appears to be read only now. How does this happen? It's the free 32GB card I got from LG with the extra battery and charging case I got for buying a G4 before June 30th. In fact I've only had this SD card for maybe a month. Is this some lolipop permissions keeping me from formatting it or is it hosed? I remember reading something about Google changing permissions on the SD with kitkat, but I also read they changed back with lolipop. I also read that LG didn't seem to notice they changed back and kept things the way they were with kitkat. If that's the case how do I take ownership of the whole card so I can format it?
I've had the same problem!

I have no idea of the answer yet but if I find one I'll let you know. But this has happened to 3 different micro sd cards in my LG G4! I don't think it's an android issue I think it's an LG g4 issue. But I'm going to investigate further. Brand new sd cards working fine for a few days then rendered read only and unable to format even on a laptop!
This literally just happened to my 32gb card received with the bundle. Any update?
I had the same issue with a A-Data 128GB UHS-U1. After a month of usage it wouldn't mount on my phone. After trying to format via various means (Disk Management, Partition Magic, SD Formatter) I found my card was set to read-only and nothing would change that. I've had very good experiences with A-Data before so I chalked it up to a manufacturing defectand filed a RMA on the lifetime warranty. Ive got a spare 16GB popped in to see if it's the phone doing it (Also A-Data)., I hope its not the G4 because I love the phone. But if it is I'm not wasting another SD Card and buying another phone.
Sounds like a corrupt sd card somehow.
I have the same issue with a SanDisk 200GB Card as discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/phone-upside-screen-off-t3227335
So it's the G4 that is killing the cards?
It's one of 2 things: Either manufacturing defects (which seems more likely) Or a G4 issue (In this case I would expect the issue to be more widespread then the low number of posts). The solution for some seems to be repartitioning the SD card, in my case though it reverts back even after the partitioning, SD Formatter indicates its stuck in read only.
It can also be some of the cards don't work well with the heat the G4 generates. On mines, it doesn't indicate read only but it seems I can't format or write to the card but I can delete from the card fine... I just tried SD Formatter and it basically shows what's attached, I thought only full size SD cards had the write protect switch, is there any software that can make the card write protected or not?

That's the exact same error message I got with SD Formatter, You could try with using partitioning software to see if that works, it was a no go for me. Regarding the heat, that could be an issue too, compared to my previous phone, the G4 runs really hot.
Any Partition software you recommend at it seems MiniTool Partition Wizard doesn't recognize etxfs as a filesystem. The G4 does run pretty hot, so much for the claims of the cards claiming to be resistant to everything...
I did try the Windows Disk Management Tool, but even that can't fix it. Well to be fair, no phone runs as hot as the G4 from my experience, guess LG still makes crap...
Has anyone tried the sd card fix floating around the g4 forum...it's posted at least once in the threads by micromod777 in tmo g4 forum...also to those with unlocked bl have you tried formatting in twrp?
Happened to me too. (SD from promo) I had to replace it. Nothing can be done about it. SD is trashed.

I did try the Windows Disk Management Tool, but even that can't fix it. Well to be fair, no phone runs as hot as the G4 from my experience, guess LG still makes crap...

LG aka Lucky Goldstar had always been a low-end brand. The only reason I've switched from Motorola is because of the microSD slot and the removeable battery. Samsung's are more for looks too..

Got a link to the sd card fix?
Some good news, A-Data notified me that they be replacing my micro-sd no strings attached. Sad news is that I'm tried of hardware issues on Android devices. I considered the Moto X Pure and the Nexus 6P, but being a Canadian, I'm getting royally shafted by exchange rates, ended up getting an iPhone 6s.
Same exact issue here with the 32gb card I received free from the promo.
I got ahold of LG and they replaced it. I bought a much nicer sandisk uhs 64gb card while I waited and when the replacement came I put it in the wife's gs5, that was 3 months ago and it's still working so hopefully it'll continue to work

The replacement SanDisk 200GB MicroSD card I put in on October 30, 2015 had problems on November 17, 2015.

I really think there was something wrong with the previous firmwares. My play music would wipe at least once a month and reading off the card was always sluggish. Ever since the 81010o update everything is fine, and I can take my card out and reinsert it and play music won't delete my music. Unfortunately I believe the previous firmwares were killing cards too
