[Q] SD card eating all free RAM - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hello,
I seem to have a problem where my SD card eats all of my RAM. I'm running AOKP JB 4.1.2 Milestone 1 ROM and I have a 32GB G.Skill class 6 SD card on my SGH-T999
I've been running the ROM for some time with this SD card and never had any issues until lately. My phone will get sluggish and eventually get to the point where it has trouble opening anything. I will go to open the dialer and it will force close back to desktop,rendering the phone practically useless. The phone just instantly kills any tasks to keep the system itself alive. If I restart, I have all my free RAM back but I can see it goes down a few MB every few seconds until there is only about 60 left.
I noticed when I remove the SD card, this stops completely. So at first, I tried reflashing said ROM above. As soon as I got back in, it was still doing it. So I reformatted the SD card, and left it blank, and inserted it, and it started this again.
So my question, why is this happening, and how can I fix it? Since it seems to be isolated to the SD card and not the OS, is it possible the SD card is going out? I've only had it for about 6 months and only ever kept music on it.

A media scan running against it?
Did you try fix permissions in recovery?
Update your ROM to a newer aokp build.
Are you restoring data from backups?
Some offending app you have loaded?
I can't be sure so I threw out some things to try.
Try shawn157 aokp builds. Very smooth and compiled for speed with linaro tool chain.

I agree, super smooth and stable ROM, definitely worth trying out.. You should really upgrade to a newer aokp build, there's 4.2.2 now

I've scanned the card for errors, and received none. I have tried fixing permissions as well. I only ever do clean installs, never backups.
Also when I cleaned installed last time trying to figure this issue out, there was no apps installed.
But I will try your suggestion and try said ROM above. I know mine is a little outdated, I've just never bothered to update since I cracked my phone screen some time ago, so I just don't have the love for this phone like I used to. I plan on an S4 soon.
On a side note, Windows has no problem with the SD card, reading or writing. And it's formatted FAT32. I just don't see the connection between the SD card and my RAM. Oh well....thanks for the info, appreciate it.

You can try the other Rom first of course, but if it doesn't help you should Odin flash the root66 firmware. Anytime you have issues you can't resolve, the best way to troubleshoot is from the official build.
It could be there is a corrupted block on the sd that the phone can't handle, but the computer can. Try formatting from the computer using the formatting utility from a sdcard.org.
Another option would be to partition it from the computer. (Try a 28-30GBP partition).
Another thing you can do is show cpu usage in developer options. It may help you see any process that might be getting hung up. Also check under Settings, Battery. (Charge full, then let it run to about 93%) (the media scanner was one thing that used to hang easily and eat resources, so watch for that or similar)
Borrow an sd from someone just to try it. It is very possible that even though it looks sdcard related, it may not be at all. (Stranger things have happened!) If it acts the same with another card, that means the card is not the source of the problem.

ALL AOSP Roms FAIL, Help

I don't post here often, but I am on IRC all the time for those of you that do know me. I have been having serious issues with the AOSP Roms. Cyanogen, Ruby, and Incredible Does all either freeze on me or reboot sooner or later. I've went so far as to install nothing else except the Rom and it still freezes or reboots. I've done this test with all three, I even dialed down the processor while on them and still NO DICE. I'm not an Android expert, but I do have a bachelor's in IT so I feel I'm pretty tech savvy. I was told on IRC that others are having similar problems with all the AOSP roms. I'm trying to get a consensus of who else is experiencing this and some more suggestions on how to fix this.
I appreciate all the help
~Thanks , AnthonyKash
Yeah this is very odd. A couple of us in ##incredibleroms have been working with AnthonyKash to figure this out. So far we have had no luck at all. No Sense UI ROMs do this to him, it seems like it's only vanilla ROMs. Very strange............

I know you posted this months ago but was wondering if you figured out what is causing this? I too can't use ANY aosp Rome because they all end up being unusable after a couple of hours. It's almost like the CPU slows down to a dramatic crawl. Only way to fix is to do a battery pull to reset. I have cleared cache, dalvik, uninstalled setcpu, all with no luck. Anyone have any insights?
Check integrity and space of SD card - maybe even remove, copy contents to PC, reformat to FAT32, copy a few nandroids back to SD and reinstall in device. Also make sure there is ample space on SD.
Absent that, have you tried a different SD card? AOSP ROMs interface w/ the SD considerably more than Sense ROMs.
Also, check radio version - recommend at least 2.15.xx
HBOOT version may come into play as well.
+1 to the above post. Seems like some sense files are bring left somewhere.

I don't think its my SD Card, I just got a new one a month ago and the same thing happened with my old SD Card. I have 4 gigs left empty of a 16 gig sd card. Would it make a difference if I installed from EMMC using RA recovery?
Hboot 0.92
Radio 2.15.00.09.01
Am on the latest versions of Hboot and radio right?
One thing I do find very weird is that even after doing full wipes of user data, cache and dalvik, when I boot up on CM7 my wifi settings still work. I would have expected I needed to reenter all of those settings. Or does this stuff get saved to the SD or internal storage...normal? If it is not, then why are data wipes in Recovery not cleanning up my files?
I've not had this problem.

Yep, those are the latest versions.
AOSP ROMs offer automatic reinstall of apps and data to Google when flashing, if that option is checked when flashed. That's where/how/why settings and/or apps still appear as before.
So, if Sense ROMs are not wonky, maybe it is an app you have installed on the AOSP ROM?
Long diagnostic road, (well understood by us IT folk ) but perhaps uninstall apps in reverse install date order of the app, reboot as you go thru, see which one may have been a culprit.
Absent that, perhaps factory reset in recovery, install an AOSP rom w/out choosing to reinstall apps.
Maybe try another different AOSP ROM?
I know the SD interacts quite a bit more with the SD compared to Sense ROMs - again, maybe copy SD card contents to PC, reformat SD to FAT32 either on the PC or in phone, maybe both - then d/l an AOSP ROM on a clean SD, see if it's still wonky.

Sense ROMS work great, its AOSP roms that are giving my phone fits lol. Well last night I tried something new.
-I changed my radio from 2.15.00.09.01 to 2.15.00.07.28 Official Froyo radio.
-Installed CM7 #14 from the EMMC versus SD CARD.
-"Hit Wipe All" in recovery about 10 times in a row before I flashed CM7
I hope changing the radio to "official" is what does it. Anyone running AOSP roms using the leaked radio 2.15.00.09.01 ?
Radio?
Yes, do let us know whether the xx.09 radio was the (a) culprit.
I run the older 2.15.xx.07.28 one, never had issues w/ AOSP ROMs.
I had an issue with this using cm7 nightlies, and I WOULD post it there but the new, ~totally awesome~ rule they are implementing (can't post in the dev forum w/ less than 10 posts) prevents me from doing that (Which means I have to spam the other sub forums?).
ANYWAYS, I got a bigger sd card from a friend, and I went to erase it under the sd card settings. Then i got a low space notification, saying I had 9 mb free of 7 Terbytes. Rebooting the phone caused it to go into boot loop. If your situation sounds like mine then do this
Boot into CWM, and from there you can mount the SD card and format it, as well as copy any backups.
I did not have any luck with restoring the phone to a previous AOSP rom, even after wiping the cache/dalvik. Maybe there's another one that could be wiped that I didn't do. Anyways, I installed a Sense based rom, and from there I was able to install Cyanogen mod.
Good luck.

Well it turns out that the radio version I was using was not the issue because the phone became unresponsive this morning when I tried to wake it up. To be specific, it does allow me to swipe to unlock but painfully in slow motion.
So that rules at the radio...which leaves me with its either the ROM/Kernel or some rogue app.
So this morning I wiped all user data in recovery and reinstalled CM7#14 but this time I did not log on to my google account during setup and have not installed any apps. So far no issues, but the true test is trying to wake the phone up tomorrow in the morning. If there are no issues, then that solves it (ITS A FREAKING APP).
If it is a rogue app that has been haunting me these past couple of weeks then who has the best way to identify which one is the offender? Why would a rogue app only affect me using AOSP roms and not Sense?
My suspicions are with..(Locale, Beautiful Widgets, ADW EX, Swype, CardioTrainer, Handcent) but I guess process of elimination is what its going to take.
Thanks to all for the help and recommendations.

Good stuff. Glad to see it all finally worked out.

Can internal memory be corrupted??????

Hey Guys,
I've been some flashing lately and I'm not sure what caused the problem. I've been using SprintLovers Rom with no issues since Feb. But when it stopped being supported, so I switched over to [ ROM / 5-3 ] Calkulin's EViO 3 v1.0 Beta 2 [ 4.12 l Gingerbread l Tweaked ] (which IO loved by the way)but I kept getting constant reboots. I would be using Navigation or watching a video with Rock Player and within one min , my phone would go into a boot loop and stay rebooting until and I flashed the rom again. It drove me nuts and I couldnt take it anymore.
So I reformatted everything (even deleted my card by accident) and installed [MikRoms] - [6/7/2011] - MikG v1.03 - Re-Engineered GB Sense 2.1 + 3.0 (which I also love) and the reboots are not as frequent but they are still happening. The difference is that with this rom, its getting stuck in a boot loop at the HTC EVO 4G screen that you see when it boots up. If it does boot up, the phone gets to the Sense screen and reboots again. So the only way I can get it to boot back up is to flash the rom again from recovery.
I have a 32GB Duracell Microsd Card I got off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004AM6SOG
It worked perfectly with Sprintlovers rom, But as soon as I reformatted and flashed Calkuns rom, the reboots started,. I even tried using Nandroind and going back to a Sprintlovers backup and the reboots were happening on that rom and I never had issues with that rom.
So basically I'm trying to narrow down what is causing the rebooting. I thought maybe the memory card was going bad, but how can I tell? So what I started thinking was maybe my bootloader needs to be refomattted or cleaned? But I dont know how. Then after talking to Nick1313, who helped me reformat and get my phone running again, we started thinking maybe the internal memory of the phone has gotten corrupted. I assume that Android looks to boot the OS from the internal memory and then looks to the SD card for apps and etc....
Is there a way to test my SD card to see if its ok? is there a way to see tell if my internal memory is corrupted and if so can it be reformatted and fixed?
I saw some people having a similar issue in the Galaxy S forums,but no one seemed to have a solution.
My last resort is unrooting and returning my phone to the store tomorrow. The only problem with that is , I know they are gonna have to order me one and it wont be in until Monday or whatever and the is annoying.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Snarky Answer: Well, I now know which memory card NOT to get.
Serious: I really doubt your SD card has much to do with this. Internal memory does have the potential of getting corrupted. That said, it's not likely.
It's obvious that you had good specific reasons for flashing the rom you've flashed. My advice is to flash one that you've not flashed and see if your phone's behaviour is any different.

Thanks for the reply. I actually Flashed back to Sprint Lovers Rom last night to after deleting everything again and reboots were still happening. I flashed back to MikG rom this morning. No reboots as of yet. But it rebooted on me 5 times last night before I flashed Sprintlovers.
GPS has been the main app I've busing when the rebooting starts. So I'm testing my phone right now with having it map to a far location and keeping my screen on to see how long it takes to make my phone reboot. Right now I'm 3mins into the test.
Turns out the processor in my phone is bad and Sprint has to order me a new one

Fc 99% of the time

For the past 5 months I have been using cm7 with no problems. But in the last month or so problems have been slowly coming up. It started with phone freezes then it slowed down greatly, then I got fc on EVERY APP! So then I switched to synergy hoping to fix the problems but there still there. I need help quick because I can't even make calls with out it freezing.

have you wiped everything (data, cache, dalvik) in recovery BEFORE flashing?
I just went through the same thing with the stock rom (rooted without the verizon crapware).. Had it since Day 1 of availability.. then a few days ago.. force closing all the time..
Even when switching roms. Even when NOT restoring with titanium.. Did everything fresh (ugh.. you have no idea how many hours).... and photos were disappearing from it
My first thoughts were "frak... I really screwed up something" (my niece dropped in on the floor a few days earlier.)
Then the IT in me decided to fall back on my experience. K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid).....
If even changing roms didn't fix it.. what did everything have in common? The SD Card.
So I formatted the card making sure to take everything off I needed. Put it back in.. and put a fresh rom on.
No problems since. I'm guessing the file system of the SD card went a little wonky after a year of putting files on.. taking off.. putting on.. etc
Yep I cleared everything, data, cache
D cache and batt stats. Im going to try the SD card thing right now

Just gonna throw this out there. Try also formatting /system in the "mounts and storage" menu.
So far so good. The SD trick worked. But I want to put my titanium backup folder back on my SD card to get my apps back but I am not sure if that was the problem.
Also about the format /system l, I was thinking about that too. But if I can't get things working in the end I will format the system, data and cache.

Glad it worked.. after 3 very frustrating days for me and trying multiple roms and losing a few pics... glad I was able to at least past the info on to someone else
I am having this problem now with apps that are not installed on my SD card (which I just upgraded to larger size). All the Google apps are fc and some other ones here and there.
Were the fc apps all installed on SD?
I was thinking about a fresh gapps flash but may try the SD card first.

Glad I found this thread! I've been having same problem and couldn't figure out if it was a rogue app or not. It seemed like right after I flashed a new rom it would run great but after a few days I would start having trouble and eventually I'd have to flash another new one or try same one again.
I have a question though....I know most things on sd card are ok to delete since any app will put new folder on there if it needs to (obviously keeps pics, titanium backups, rom backups etc.)
But I don't have a way of formatting the sdcard OUTside of the phone. I don't have a card reader on my computer. Would it be ok to do this while the phone is plugged in? (something tells me no but...)
My only other option would be to put the sdcard in my old HTC ozone and try it that way...
You can just plug your phone into your PC, mount your SD card and reformat it that way. It works for me.

This ^^
OR
Random thought
You can try to repair the SD card before you format( if the repair doesn't work). Mount SD card to the computer via usb. Right click, properties, tools tab. Run error check. Just like a computer files get corrupted.

Phone Memory Deteriorating?

I have started to notice weird issues with my Note 2. When I decided to switch from Cleanrom 4.9 to the ATT version, I loaded the zip onto my internal storage through usb, and rebooted to recovery, but the zip wasnt where I put it (root of internal storage), nor could I find any folder that it didnt claim was empty. I put it on my sdcard and flashed that way after a factory reset+system wipe.
After getting the new rom setup, I rebooted the phone to find it had forgotten all the default apps, like nova launcher. Rebooted again and the same thing happened.
These problems have happened before, but never survived a factory reset.
I am scared that this is a hardware issue, which would really suck. Anyone have this happen or any ideas on fixing it?
I am planning on returning to ATT stock and if the problem happens again I will bring it to them, but we all know I don't want to have to do that
Thanks for any help
Well if you factory reset it it will forget everything. Its like starting fresh with nothing.

I factory reset it, set it up again, then rebooted. I set the new defaults after the reset, then they disappeared on reboot
the problem persisted over a full ODIN stock flash. Not really sure what to do now, it has become a large annoyance. I guess I will tell ATT what is happening, but I dont think something like this is covered under warranty

[Q] Overheating problems, cant switch back to 4.2.2

This is my first time posting in this, so please excuse me if I put this topic in the wrong place or anything.
Recently I have installed a Cyanogen rom to my phone, upgrading it to 4.4.4 kitkat. Wel, everything went well. Though, recently it has been getting really hot. I mean, before I installed the rom, I was on 4.2.2 and I never had a problem like this. I mainly use my phone for games and my phone has never gotten hot to where the screen is really hot.
I bought a new battery, didn't work. Calibrated it, didn't work. Tried a fresh install, again did not work.
I tried going back to 4.2.2 but no rom that I find works, only one to work is 4.4.2 and it still over heats.
Any advice?
If you have a micro sd card in it, turn the phone off, let everything cool down, remove the battery cover, now place your finger on the micro sd card slot and turn the phone on. If it gets really hot in about 10 seconds, remove the micro sd card. Try running the phone without the micro sd card to see if that is causing the heating issue. Could be an old micro sd card or a failing micro sd card. Be sure to use a decent speed Class 10.

Are you using a kernel that is overclocking your phone? That would be one possible cause of overheating that starts as soon as you installed a different ROM. What kernel came with it?

You could try the last stable cm build. Although, I'm running the latest nightly and am not having your issues.
Or
You could Odin back to stock and start over.
