[Q] 4GB of misc storage? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I cant figure out whats taking up a 4gb of my phones storage? There's 13.33gb total with 6.22gb available. I've tried resets in recovery, file browser apps, plugging it up to the computer, and no luck. 6gb of availible is plenty but don't want it to get to the point to where it slows the device down. I've deleted backups of old ROMs which helped a little. Help por favor!

You've told us nothing with which to give you a solution from. Take screenshots of your Storage screen so we can see what is using what.

Why didn't I do that.. Just flashed a new rom before posting this and didnt try it. All of my previous roms said "no information available"
After tapping that it turns out clockworkmod is using 3.46gbs. Not sure what could be using that much from there though.

Nandroid backups I'm guessing.

[Q] Is this spam or a virus?

or something else?
I regularly (say weekly) get what appears to be a message on my phone which looks like this:-
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If I open it, nothing happens for a while then it tries to install some software. I always hit cancel at this point but have noticed that the logo in the top left varies.
Can anyone tell me what this is?
Thanks
Nick

Actually in Q&A.
Did you recently install any app, it is being caused by an alp that has push ad capability. Try remembering which app you installed and got these right after. You could also screenshot your apps list so we can help search that app for you.

Thanks everybody. Now I know what it is, I can deal with it. Normal push-ad detection apps don't recognise it so I've installed aLogcat so I can see what's going on. Will post back if successful. Or not!

The "0" Directory

Okay, so basically every time I flash a new ROM it creates that undeletable 0 folder/directory which is really annoying. I have about six 0 folders on my device's storage now and it makes everything painfully unorganized. I know this is normal but is there anyway I can delete the extra folders?

This bothers the hell out of me.

It should only make 1 directory if it doesn't it means you're not on the latest recovery. You can either try and deleting them or format your internal memory

Please search for similar questions before posting. There have many questions just like this one. Upgrade to the latest ClockWork Mod recovery, or the latest TWRP recovery, and this should be fixed.

Upgraded to 4.3 and now notif tray gets ghost notifiers??

I'm hoping someone knows what's going on here and can help asap...
I upgraded my Sprint SGS3 using Samsung Keis the other day and all seems well, except this one big issue. Randomly (it seems whenever I get a notification, or the connection state changes, or I plug into power)the notification bar fills up with the "Download Complete" msgs. This is an issue because I can't see legit notifications in the bar, and/or I have to scroll to the bottom to see anything.
These file names *ARE* for files I had downloaded in the past, but not since well before the upgrade. I have gone so far as to delete the 'Downloads' folder altogether, no dice. Also, it isn't actually downloading the files again, just saying it did...
Any idea how I can stop this? Rebooting the phone is not helping at all. Is there maybe a cache somewhere I can clear that would help? This is a new SGS3 (replacement), so I just got finished resetting up my layout and all my apps and stuff, so I would **REALLY** like to avoid wiping it to factory...
Any help is appreciated. Thank You... :good:

Happened to me too, I think I fixed it by clearing data on download manager. If that doesn't do it try clearing data on Play store (not play services).
My wife has exact problem on hers.
Edit; clearing old downloads WORKS! Thx.

Yup, cleaning the downloads did it! Thank you, Sir! Much appreciated... :good::cyclops:

[Q] Restoring from nandroid backup resulting trial device

Restoring from nandroid backup made my device as trial device and my informations are constantly shared with htc...
but when i install custom roms there isn't this problem... how can i resolve this problem?
Just ignore it. It happens because you unlocked your boot loader.

Even though it's in Spanish or whatever but yep, normal when unlocking bootoader. Just uncheck the boxes and ignore it. You can disable UDOVE.APK in system apps if you're paranoid.

Yeah... But who cares if they want to monitor my porn habits. [emoji12]
I don't think any information is actually sent. Not from what I can see anyway. In any case contrary to what the message says you can disable it by un checking the boxes, so that must just be a default message that comes with unlocked test devices.
If you're S-OFF you will have that warning at all times as you technically have a test device so they collect info from you

All the time though(always sending information regardless of what you're doing) or just critical information when the ROM/device fails for whatever reason?
So far I've noticed it only actively asking me to send the report when something fails on the device.
Suppose the latter makes sense, it's a "test" device after all and they need "that" information for fixes, hence why it's being "tested". The former though...?
No idea, I honestly couldn't care less!

Question Can't update at all?!

Hi there
I'm on 3.15 and I was prompted with a new update (weird already as when it prompted it said 3.15 again instead of 3.18 or 3.20). I tried to click download and install but after 5 seconds of not going past 0% it would just go back to the same "Download and update" button. I even got the download on my notification bar still showing 0%...
So I decided to check how to do it manually (yes I backed up everything already) but realized the three dots aren't even here to try to flash it?
Any suggestions on how I am supposed to flash the new version?

Easy
First download the Activity Launcher
Search for "System-Update" click on it and then "Local-Update" then you can manualy update your phone

I did that, (didn't need to download as was already installed) it opened exactly the same thing as in the screenshots and behaved the same way.
Edit: Nevermind I think I found it. Just searched for "local update".
