Hello,
I have an issue with my SD card . Unable to delete anything from it. Not even from taking pictures or videos. Nothing will be saved to it. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
I even try windows to delete the file and it says that it's being protected.
Please help. Thank you in advance.
It's an internal SD for Note 3. Currently running Hyperdrive but i don't thin the ROM has anything to do with it.

If you have recently installed a custom Recovery verify that you installed the right version. Or, if you have recently installed some other application with root access, check that the first line of the file '/sepolicy_version' has your device model.

Let me start off by stating I am far from a newb. I have been rooting and flashing android ROMs since the G1. This is the first time I have run across this. My wife's DInc wont let her install any apps. Install unsuccessful each tome and started on stock ROM. I just rooted wiped and flashed cm7. Still same deal. I have never encountered this. Thinking corrupt internal memory. Anyone else have an idea? Tried wiping market cache data etc... tried signing into Google talk... funny thing is out of warranty by one day now. Awesome timing.

how new is the inc? have you checked that the PRL settings are correct? what message do you get when you try to install apps? it wouldn't hurt to do a *228 just to ensure all settings are written correctly.
I had the same problem but it turned out that the apps couldnt interact with my sd card. does it display a pop up error message when you try to install an app?
Last 2 DIncs I rooted, the SD that came with it was Not FAT32. Those had the same issue you describe, I reformatted SD, worked fine.

I'm having the same issue.. I thought it was from me messing around with the provider #'s like 310004 310012 etc.. im on verizon... cant install anything... get a popup of can install on usb or usb storage.... pic attached. ( http://db.tt/0aLvpMJ )
Well... it let me update these... http://db.tt/wCkP1we
But not these.... http://db.tt/NtTKVRc
I'm stumped... all permissions are set correctly. I've erased data and cache multiple times from the market... I've *228'd... and rebooted MANY TIMES!

Thats the exact same problem i had.
Use root explorer and navigate to /sdcard/.android_secure and delete the file "smdl2tmp1.asec" if it is not in that location then it could be in /mnt/secure/asec/
After i deleted the file it worked just fine with no errors.
Does it install if you unmount the SDcard with the system settings first?
I tried doing that but it didn't work for me. But it doesn't hurt to try.

Ahh, I had an issue with it a while back that was fixed by unmounting the sdcard before installing them. I'd read about it in this article before, maybe it will help someone here: http://lifehacker.com/5714300/how-to-fix-installation-unsuccessful-errors-in-the-android-market
Seems like it mostly covers problems with updates, though.
Hello, I would like to fix this bug but I do not know how.
Whatever I do I can no see pictures in my stock gallery (android 4.1.1) on Note 2.
I try to put pictures via cable, dropbox, sdcard...
I try to reset gallery application
I try some other solutions that I found on this forum but nothing helped with this problem.
I really hate it! Can someone help me please?
And I would like to know if it is possible to set up phone to vibrate when contact (which I am calling) answere his phone.
Thank you
Application Manager -> All. Select Media Storage, and clear data. Reboot the phone. This will force the system to rescan all media files.

Use Kies
The same thing happened with me, and the only workaround I found to fix this problem, is by copying the pictures from phone to computer, then used kies to copy the pictures from the computer back to phone, and it worked.

Might I suggest, sadly, the last two options:
Completely delete the entire SD card. If that doesn't work, format your phone. If you're rooted, backup any NECESSARY data, (no options, settings or anything like that, just in case it's related to the settings, but you can make a back up, just don't restore), and then reset device to factory default and see if that eliminates the issue.
Wait, are you rooted? On stock Android Galaxy Note 2? Or do you have any special changes done to your phone?

Are you on CM10?
I believe that this is a bug that has been hitting Samsung phones. It's either, a) a fault in the MMC chip, or b) a CM10 bug. I've had that happen 3 times to me, the 1st time I had no backups and lost over 10GB of media from my External SD Card. The other 2 times I was prevented and lost everything but had a backup. So protip : backup each time you have something new on your phone. Better safe than sorry.
Now, download this program and run it. It'll recover almost all the deleted photos from your SD : http://www.piriform.com/recuva

Hi, I dont know if I have CM10 :S .. i only know that I have anything as brand new (stock rom).
I found a solution but it`s not 100% working.
I downloaded Fish bowl gallery and go in setting>advanced>find missing photos> and than I select the maps where the photos are but are not shown in the stock gallery.
I waited till photos are added and now i have 100 photos (of 117 total) added in my stock gallery (but i still does not have other 17 photos)
Thank you
You should return your phone. If your pictures aren't showing up even after flashing an official rom then something is wrong.

You may get a faster answer in the ROM's thread, in addition to follow up Q&A's, since everyone there is either using the ROM, or has flashed it. @mgbotoe the Developer, and the members in the thread are very helpful and responsive
As i have stated in the thread, it is app specific. If the app will not allow it, it will not move.
But just for clarification, which app(s) are you trying to move so i can test it for my self. If it works for me, means you have a bad flash or something up with your storage.
Ok I looked around and things weren't quite matching up to the problem i'm having.
I recently rooted my S2 and flashed Revolt JB rom which I absolutely love.
But I cannot go into my gallery, when I do it loads a bit, then it freezes and my phone reboots, while every other person with the gallery issues it just goes to the home screen.
I tried removing DCIM folders from internal and SD
Tried removing the SD completely
Tried clearing cache and data on gallery app
I really really don't want to revert back to stock and unroot, so please help me with this problem.
have you tried a different gallery app, also try moving all your pictures /data/files etc anything you want backed up and then format your sd card and then transfer everything back see if it helps ?
I tried a different gallery app, but i'm going to try and remove all the data/files
I just noticed I tried removing the SD card completely, the issue isn't the sd card, so is there any data files in my internal storage I can move without there being any issues?
Actually the "gallery issue" does reboot phones.
Your sd card is out, so that's good....but you also need to transfer off your phone and delete every video and pic you have on your internal sd storage and the issue should be gone. Maybe you have a video on there that you've missed???
And you definitely are using twrp 2.6.1.0 right?
Good luck!

I tried removing everything to my computer but it just made a copy , i'll try it again though.
Move everything, then delete everything to do with pics and vids off the phone.

Which apps if you don't mind sharing?
I bought mine yesterday and still checking for any problem to decide whether to keep or exchange it.
If I decide to keep it, I have to root it because it has same notorious problem which exists on other 4.4.2 devices which makes app unable to save file to memory card.
Does yours have same problem before rooting?
what card are u using

Still an issue with the G3, only native apps can have access to the SD card. In fact I think it's the same for ALL non-rooted devices on Kit Kat, not just the G3.
The good thing about the G3 and S5 is the inclusion of a native file manager, I can move files/songs/torrents whatever from internal to the external SD card anytime. Couldn't do that with the HTC One M8 which doesn't have a native file manager, you could imagine my frustration of having to connect it to a PC computer anytime I wanted to move something, a big reason why I ditched it.
It's not a G3 issue. it's an Android 4.4 issue. And they did it on purpose.
You can go to the play store and download the Kit Kat sdcard fix. That's what I used to be able to write to the external_sd on stock rom.

Unfortunately, it still needs root.
Actually I know how to fix and I did it on my Note 3 and Note 8.
