Okay, so today I installed a game "Lights out 5x5" and PocketGBA, and sometime after that my phone stopped connecting to the internet, in some instances.
I can update the weather, but IE, Operate, and my e-mail won't connect to the internet. This happens on 3g as well as wifi, so its probably the phone instead of the service.
Any way to trouble shoot this or figure out whats wrong? I removed the files I installed, and that's when the weather started working. Nothing since then.
I downloaded PIM backup and will backup my info just in case I have to do a hard reset. Is there anything I can do?
Also, if I do clear storage from the phone, it doesn't erase the SD card does it? Just curious
clear storage does not affect your SD card at all.
I have a brand new issue that, for the first time, I haven't been able to resolve from existing posts on the forum.
When Cyanogen nightly build 92 first came out I loaded it on my phone and everything had been working flawless. Yesterday I swapped my SD card for a another one, something I do with regularity and have never had trouble. Afterward, the phone wouldn't boot.(black screen) I swapped back and still nothing. I removed the SD card entirely and installed another SIM from my G1. Although, it would not boot into the phone I was finally able to boot into CW, so I reset all caches, reformatted boot, system and data. Reinstalled build 92. About halfway through the reinstall the phone suddenly rebooted. I started over again, wiping cache, reformatting and reinstalling to build 92. (I double checked md5sum just in case the file was corrupt) This time it installed perfectly and I was able to reboot the phone back to what appeared to be normal.
Now everything appears to work fine except for one very serious flaw. I can no longer connect to an APN. I can search networks and see them but when I select one it says cannot register on network. If I connect to WiFi the "WiFi calling feature works fine and all seems normal. I did a little research and was told to check my IMEI. Sure enough it is 111111111111111 which is obviously invalid. I have no idea if the Invalid IMEI is a symptom of another problem or the cause.
Just for grins, I borrowed a friends AT&T Sim to see what would happen.( I recently updated to the gfree .05 for full unlock) There was no difference except of course, AT&T doesn't support T-mobile's WiFi Calling.
So here is where I stand so far:
Original SIM is fried so have a new one
Invalid IMEI but I have my original logged
WiFi Calling allows me to operate the phone normally but I can't go anywhere this way.
I have all of my CW backups and have tried them to no avail.
The swap of my SD Card is normal for me. When I travel I use an encrypted card for all of my data. (A slightly paranoid industry, {Corporate Intelligence} but hey, I get to use calling encryption)
I never store apps on my SD card and always select Internal as my installation location, not that it should cause a problem anyway.
I have been actively using and updating my phones since Jesus Freke started on 1.5 on the G1, so I am not afraid to get creative.
Any suggestion or direction at this point would be greatly appreciated.
Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
I was running 4.0.4 IMM30B leak. The new leak/possible update came out, I decided to flash it. Saw that it was only good for updating from 4.0.2 (ICL53F), so I wiped, formatted, and reinstalled it. Re set up my phone (titanium backup, homescreens, android market updates for a few apps, the basics). Everything seemed fine, though I didn't try saving anything. Ran the update to the new 4.0.4, and everything seemed fine and dandy.
The next day, titanium backup runs (scheduled) and fails. Says not enough storage or something despite the fact that it also shows ~14GB free space...
Tried to take a screenshot of the issue, and I get a notification that it "Couldn't capture screenshot." "Couldn't save screenshot. Storage may be in use."
Curious, I tried to take a picture with the system camera app, and it doesn't seem to save pictures either. Though no error messages tell me such things.
Caching seems to work, updating apps seems to work, using 'most' apps seems to work, but saving data to the virtual SDcard has no such luck.
Assuming that it's a permissions issue, I went into CWM Recovery and did a 'fix permissions.' Though that has not fixed anything.
Various searches have shown me that others have experienced this problem, but I haven't seen anyone with a solution. Also, they seem to be experiencing it in various AOKP roms (specifically for the Transformer tablet).
Question: Anyone know what I can do to fix it?
Haha this happened to me and no1 could answer it happened when i went from aokp m4 to m5.. Was odd, but what i did to fix was relock and unlock the bootloader and then get all my stuff back with titanium.. At least that worked fine for me
Edit: well i relocked restarted system and boot android, then reboot into bootloader and unlocked again, then boot into android (fresh new system) and im writing this from my fixed phone 1 week ago.. No problems so far

Glad to hear that there is a fix. I may end up doing this tonight... I'm hoping that a quicker, simpler fix is available (something like boot an insecure.img and change permissions of these folders via adb, or something).
Thanks for that though, as I now know that it should work.
Happening on GSM Galaxy Nexus as well. I tried a rom over milestone 5, then reinstalled milestone 5 and restored my backup, and then got this problem. Seems sdcard is not writable to at all. Gonna try out the bootloader locking stuff i guess.
I ended up using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit (for time and automated simplicity) to wipe the device, reflash 4.0.2 (signed by Google), reroot, CWM reccovery, and restore the virtual sdcard backup saved with the toolkit.
Once the virtual sd was restored, I restored my apps (but no system apps) with titanium backup. Haven't had the time since to reupgrade to 4.0.4, but 4.0.2 seems to be working for me nicely.
I am able to screenshot, and nice things like that, but sometimes titanium backup is giving me errors about not being able to save due to insufficient space (still 14GB free). Gonna dive into that issue today.
4.0.2 works good.. What its bad about it its the lag, the ROM its laggy and also the battery life and the photo quality.. ICS now its much better than 4.0.2

No fix?
I'm also getting this problem and only since installing android 4.3 from CM 10.2
I have also noticed that when I connect by USB to my PC I can't see anything but the external sd card whereas in the past I've been able to see 3 devices - ext sd, int sd and system. This makes me think it's permissions but I'm not sure what to change and where.
I need a screenshot to send a picture of an mms issue I'm having and can't re-install/restore whatever as this deletes the mms with the problem so I need a fix that leaves the phone as it is except for this repair.
Any help appreciated.

Just try reflashing your device from a stock image.

Tried booting in t recovery fixing permissions, tried delete the screenshot folder and tried wiping the dalvik... Never thought of deleting the Pictures folder. Solved it for me to! (This problem just occurred without me flashing a new rom or anything. A ~9 month old AOKP and the error just came up after a reboot)
Thanks jwiegand!

I'm on a different phone, but I fixed this issue by clearing the defaults for the program that launched pictures. In my case, I use Gallery, so in Program Info under Settings, I reset defaults and everything worked fine. I guess this is the same thing as deleting the Pictures folder since I believe it is an issue of 'releasing' the memory that remains in use by your respective program. For all future requests as to which program should be used to launch a file (or picture in this case), I never select the option that binds future requests to one specific program. Hope that helps .
My fix: re enable the media scanner!
Like many others, I have disabled the DRM and media scanner services because of the bug that caused ridiculous cpu usage (particularly on boot). Re enabling the media scanner fixed this problem right up. If you want a free and easy utility to do this, check out: "Rescan Media ROOT"

Disclaimer: I am not associated with the author of that app.
On some devices (such as Infuse, as was in my case), the only solution was to manually create Pictures/Screenshots (full path: /sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots or /storage/sdcard0/Pictures/Screeshots). I created them with Root Explorer.
Had tried all other solutions, but they did not work. Seems that the power button Screenshop would neither create Pictures nor Pictures/Screenshots.

I tried all the previous solutions without success, but manually creating the Pictures/Screenshots folder worked flawlessly on my LG 4X.

I have tried using home+power button, turned on swipe and had difficulty in using the S PEN to make the screenshot - still doesnt work.
I also tried making a new folder but still doesnt work.
My unit is Samsung Note 8.0
/sdcard permissions broken
Just had this happen on my Nexus 5.
The cause was using adb push to copy files to /sdcard when I was booted into recovery. All the files and folders were owned by root:root. I had to reboot to recovery, adb shell, and then
Code:
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/0
It might be possible to do this while booted in android with Connectbot or something, but I didn't try that.

Hi,
I recently upgraded to Lineage 14.1 bacon for my Oneplus One. I installed it using TWRP. I had made a backup of important apps via Titanium Pro Rooted (Dunno if this is relevant).
Also I made a backup of the system and data via TWRP just in case. After the first successful install, like a fool I tried to revert to the old build from TWRP Backup by using the restore process, where I tried to just restore the data part of the backup and not the system as well.
It got stuck at 50% during this process for more than 6 hours. I just rebooted the phone midway during the restore process, wiped the phone again to factory and re-installed Lineage 14.1 (with Gapps Micro which I did the first time as well).
Now for some reason after that, some of the apps that I try to install, just refuse to download from the App Store. They are permanently stuck at the downloading stage where the download progress bar never shows. After a few minutes they return with an Error 492. This is happening for apps like google chrome, microsoft excel, powerpoint & word, Line, Snapchat, Candy Crush, Magic Rush Heroes and few more apps. The rest of the apps just download fine.
My guess (since I am not an expert at any of this stuff) is that the restore process is where things got screwed up. I have wiped everything except internal storage (including dalvik cache and cache) to reinstall Lineage with gapps a few times and there is still no success in installing those few apps mentioned before. I have no clue how to solve this issue.
The Lineage and Gapps packages to be flashed are in internal storage and this device doesn't have an external SD Card. So I cannot wipe internal storage as well. IF there is a way to install Lineage with Gapps in spite of wiping internal storage then I dunno that process.
I am in a major fix here. Please help!
You can use adb push to put data on your internal memory. Ensure that you have usb debugging on when connect your phone.

Thanks for the suggestion! But here is the issue now! My friend in haste, wiped the whole internal storage. Now I had the data backed up luckily. But, there is no ROM or gapps zip available to flash and I am using TWRP 2.7.0.0 and I am unable to find an option to connect TWRP to an external memory such as USB OTG or USB Mass Storage to load the flash files onto the phone. It seems like my phone is bricked with only TWRP as the only recovery mode! Any way I can flash to Lineage again?

Ok I was able to push the zip files for Lineage and Gapps using adb from the computer. But now the problem is that TWRP is stuck in a permanent loop mode. The Teamwin screen appears and refreshes back to the same screen all the time. Should I switch to CWM?
Upon further research I found that using fastboot mode I can flash the latest TWRP image. I did that and thankfully the image that I had sideloaded through ADB was available and I was able to install Lineage and Gapps. Question now remains is that should I install SuperSU and root my device as it still says that the device is unrooted!
Ok back to square one! The apps listed in my original question still dont seem to be installing even after completely wiping the phone and installing Lineage OS 14.1 and gapps afresh. Any suggestions???

Thanks for the suggestion @rk92. I used adb push to install the rom and gapps per your suggestion! But the issue of above said apps not installing still persists in spite a clean wipe of the phone.

When I login to Google Play Store using my google account, the apps that wont install show as installed. I do not own any other device except the oneplus one that I flashed from Cyanogenmod 12.1 to Lineage 14.1 Bacon Nightly. The apps are showing as installed in the same device, whereas they are clearly not! I checked all apps under the settings section and not one of these apps are installed. This is really something strange as an issue! Any ideas forum members? Is there any thread on XDA with a solution to this problem? Please help!

What is your version of Gapp. I think for Lineage 14.1 you need 7.1.1. Sometime back I had an issue when the play service would suddenly stop. I had flashed from cm13 to slimrom. I flashed the stock rom and then flashed to slimrom and this didn't happen. May this is not properly cleaning up your /system.

I flashed gapps nano arm Nougat 7.1.. So guess that isnt the issue?
Ok even my storage seems to be blocked! I am not able to transfer files via MTP, OTG, Shareit and my camera isnt recognising the internal shared storage. The camera has permissions to access storage though. Using all file explorers available in the market, I am still not able to create folders, transfer files etc. Could this be a corrupt storage????
I have the exact same problem. I use Lineage 14.1 (2017 04 10) and android 7.1.1. I Also have certain apps which don't install (facebook, facebook messenger, snapchat). The download does not progress and after a couple minutes i also get error code 492. I just got this phone off a friend of mine, meaning i just did a factory data reset, but that didn't solve the problem.
I've always used apple or nokia in my life, thus i am a real noob at android. If a solution is found in this forum thread i'd be really happy as i can than fully use my 'new' oneplus one.

@rk92 which Stock Rom did you flash? Coz as far as I remember reading there is no AOSP Build for OPO.

@Kees de Groot Welcome to the club! Hope there are other active expert devs who can solve our problem!
@rk92 thanks a lot for your help! My internal storage permissions was the problem. It got fixed when I ran some adb shell commands from my laptop with USB Debugging enabled. Everything is normal now. Error 492 fixed.
@Kees de Groot I have a feeling that your app permissions are a problem. Check access to your internal storage. If you are able to access internal storage on your Oneplus using File Explorer to modify internal storage data, then fixing app permissions for the ones not installing will help you install them. Because all the apps that you are unable to install are due to permissions issues. These apps are not able to get access to internal storage. If internal storage access is the issue for you as well (in spite of being a rooted user), then run the commands posted on this thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2222297
It should fix your permissions.
Hope that helps.
Could a moderator close this thread as solved?
