Some mornings when I wake up, I look at my phone with only -1b of storage which also shows to be 8gb/8gb at the same time? I lose all my photos and I couldn't even take a screenshot because it claims my phone is full on storage. Restarting fixes the issue but I want to figure out why this is happening and how to prevent it in the future. This problem only occurs in the morning when I wake up, and its not consistent to what I've done to the phone the previous night.
This is a serious problem this shows that your phone is got hacked or you installed a virus or malware on it that activates automatically on night to fix it use an antivirus first virustotal then others if still it not get solved delete the third party apps u installed from unknown resources except google play store or delete apps u not trust
It only started happening after the most recent update, it happens only at night sure, but its at random nights so its unpredictable. I don't remember installing any suspicious apps either, virus total gave me a green light, running malwarebytes right now and hopefully see some results from there i guess

Turns out I do not have a virus. Do you know any other reason why this could be happening?
Its happens because your memory chip may be semi-broken, thats needs a fix,
sorry for late reply
Can you explain why the memory chip may be at fault? and what other factors may also contribute to this glitch?

This can happen because, reason 1: chip may be damaged, reason 2: Your memory chip connector broke,
I understand that but why does it specifically cause this bug?

hey,
so my girlfriend has a droid incredible, not rooted, and many times when she switches to her bak up battery AND BACK, her apps delete. many times she has to re-download her apps and they're not even listed under her apps in the market. she turns off the phone before ripping the battery out and changing it, but she still has the issue. the battery is supposedly OEM, and purchased off eBay. its black considering its an evo battery and it reads HTC innovation on the battery. in any case, as i mentioned before, it happens when she switches back to her regular battery as well. in addition the widgets read "problem loading gadget". (obviously because the app has deleted)
anyone have any solutions to solving this or why this might e happening. to my understanding these batteries should yield no problems. also, this is not the first time this has happened it has happened alot. perhaps if there is no direct solution, maybe i can find an app to make sure none of my apps get deleted during the transfer process? let me know,
thanks
if anyone can help i also have minor issue on my dinc with the generic batteries i ordered from ebay that when i plug it in, the battery has an exclamation point. anyway to get rid of this? its not too annoying because i use mini info widget anyway, but id rather have it solved.
thanks again

If they're on the SD card it'll often take a few minutes for it to load up.
The problem looks like it's from the SD card, maybe it's having some issues or maybe she's accidentally knocking it out of place when she switches batteries.

the problem seems to be deeper than that. shes definitely not knocking out the sd card cuz its always stable. besides this is a problem for every app thats not stock. she doesnt have ALL apps2sd anyway.
if it helps.. some apps stay some apps go, but for the ones that stay, they force close. ie. hopstop wasnt deleted but FC. in addition she would re download twitter and that would FC. to confuse you even more shazam was not deleted or reinstalled but still works (all data was deleted tho)
Sounds weird. I know this is a long shot that you will actually try it, but it sounds like it'd be a good idea to reinstall that phone.
It's been known that there are a couple of mallicous apps (now removed from the market) but it's *possible* she may have downloaded one of them and that is causing a lot of the issues. It may just be some weird data corruption in important system files, it's hard to tell with just what you're telling me but as long as she doesn't mind it- reinstalling with a fresh ROM and kernel would be a good start and likely will fix the problem.
Apps can still be backed up via titanium backup, and there's apps for backing up messages and you can sync contacts to either verizon or your google account.
Just a thought.
It started when I first installed leedroid 2.3d after rooting my fone, then with CM7 RC1, Modaco Fr11 (default options, with MoDaCo additions), CM7 RC2 and StarBurst Lite. I faced the same issue while using Google Maps (data & GPS on). It keeps rebooting. Sometimes it would reboot within a minute or so after starting Google Maps. Sometimes it would take 5 minutes. Not sure what the issue is, but I have a feeling this may not have anything to do with Google Maps or GPS. Cos couple of times the fone rebooted while playing some games with an active wifi connection. But the problem occurs 100% with Google Maps.
I never faced this issue before rooting the fone or even after rooting. The problem only started after flashing the first ROM. After that I have even tried restoring the previous backup for stock ROM, but even that started giving this issue.
Here are the details about my fone:
BRAVO PVT3 SHIP S-ON
HBOOT-0.93.0001
MICROP-051d
TOUCH PANEL-SYNT0101
RADIO-5.14.05.17
8 GB micro sd card with 512 MB ext partition. I guess its class 4.
Another thing to note is that when I try use a memory card reader to read it on my windows 7 PC, it just wont show up. The same thing happens if I try to use gParted boot CD to read the card. However android seems to read it perfectly fine. I am even able to mount the card from fone using USB storage option.
Is this memory card the issue?
I forgot to mention that I was using apps2sd+ in some form or another for all ROMS except StarDust Lite which was using Data2SD script.
Have you tried running the application when it is stored entirely on the phone (not part or whole to SD)?
Reboots and Bootloops have been present in the latest ROMs. The latest Oxygen ROM has applied the Google update to apparently fix these. It's there to try in the ROM section for you 2.0.2.
Dude,
You're not gonna like what I'm gonna say, but your symptoms match those of mine. Check out the thread I created here.
Now, adding to that, the rebooting started again but this time when using Wifi for a long period, playing games and using mobile data.
What I'd do is try rule out Google Maps. Try use Navigon or iGo.
Two things I learned was that changing ROM's won't help. Neither will changing radio's.
Of course it could just be Brandall mentions.

I haven't tried running an application purely from the internal memory. However when I restored my stock HTC Desire Froyo backup, the issue still existed. That didnt have any script for apps2sd+ so Google Maps was running purely from the internal memory. Anyways, I will try the Oxygen ROM later today evening and see if that fixes it. I have also ordered for a class 10 16 GB micro sd card. Lets see if that helps.

I have already ruled Google Maps out since I was able to re-produce the issue even with other navigation softwares like Sygic Mobile Maps & NDrive. I am even able to re-produce the issue without turning on GPS or using any navigation app. Just an active wifi and playing games will also reboot the phone randomly.
One thing I noticed today morning was that when the phone rebooted, the back of the phone was very hot. On removing the cover I noticed that the area below the SIM card gets hot. Is there where the processor chip is? Is it possible that may be somehow the CPU was over clocked by certain ROM which I have flashed before? Is there a way by which I can check this under current ROM (Stardust)?

I would suggest that first you monitor your CPU usage and battery temperature with SetCPU - it can be downloaded for free here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505419 (worth a donate though!)
You can set up a profile to monitor your battery temperature and sound an alarm if it's getting too hot. Running this whist testing your GPS may well diagnose the problem. You can also ensure that you are not somehow already overclocking (which I think is very unlikely).
If this is new to you, make sure you have a good read of the instructions so you don't blow your phone up!
Assuming overheating is the issue, then hopefully you are under warranty and you can return to stock and send the phone back.
For further diagnosis on CPU Usage, battery temperature levels and discovering apps that are taking up resource, I would suggest SystemPanel from the market https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.systempanel.r1 - it's pretty damn sh*t hot and has a monitoring service for diagnosis. I'm not sure if that's available on the free version though, but if you try it, you'll want to buy it anyway...
Let us know how you get on. Good luck!
I'm gonna be blunt, I've been through this.
You are wasting your time dude. If your phone is still under warrantee, flash an original RUU and take it back to get repaired.
Its a hardware problem.

brandall, I have now tried it all now but nothing stops the random reboots. I guess I will have to get it replaced while its still under warranty. Lately the phone reboots even without getting hot. Plus, it reboots even without having any active wifi or data connection. Just playing Angry Birds Rio or Angry Birds Seasons for a while will reboot the phone. The only time it doesn't reboot is if use the phone for listening to music or while taking calls or messages. Other than that, it will randomly reboot on using any "smart" application. Even the browser...its damn frustrating. Thanks brandall.

I have a Epic that I did the FroYo update to months ago. Now it seems that at least 3 times a day I notice my leg burning, letting me know that my phone is locked.
I know it's most likely some 3rd party application on the phone but can anyone let me know how I can debug the problem rather then reset the device to factory? I also want to be able to let whatever developer of whatever app know whats up.
I also get the other random lockups where nothing will work but the bottom buttons will light up. both will happen on or off the charger.

Personally, I would start over. Wipe everything and reflash the rom. I reflashed the rom twice. The first time I had a few issues, the second time made the phone smoother. Also the second flash was with no wipe.

Since you are on Froyo (didn't say if you were rooted or not) you can run some apps like Spare Parts, OS Monitor or CPUSpy to see what is running. You can also go to Settings>applications>running services to see what is running and actually stop applications there. So if you check running services and see a third party app running that you are not using, stop it and see if the phone runs OK. Another thing you could try is to set all syncs to manual such as Facebook, Twitter, Google talk or +, email...applications trying to sync in a low signal area may cause excessive heat and the heat itself will cause FCs, freezes and reboots as the phone has a battery temp safety in it.
Hi I'm hoping someone can kindly guide me in the right direction on what to do with my phone because over the past week I have been having alot of problems with it. I can't recall any changes I have made to my phone as to why it has suddenly become so slow and unresponsive. I have an app called Clean Master and it keeps notifying me that a problem has been a detected and that 3 apps are constantly restarting, so i got into the settings and stop the app as it says, but then later on another 3 different apps restart later on. Also Clean Master is telling me my phone is hot and asking me to shut down apps which I have done and they still restart. I have recently updated the phone using HTC software and got rid of alot of apps which I didnt use and take up a lot of space. Has anybody else encountered a problem like this or can help me please?
Have you tried running without Clean Master? Such task killers can often cause more problems than they solve. And what you are experiencing is a good (possible) example. Killing apps in Android will often cause them to restart. This constant killing and respawning will use up CPU resources and generate heat; with little benefit as freeing up RAM often does not make Android any faster. If you have reason to believe the apps are poorly written/optimized, or if you don't use or need them, then delete of freeze them. Otherwise, its probably best to let them run like they are supposed to.
The article below is a few years old, but still relevant:
http://lifehacker.com/5650894/android-task-killers-explained-what-they-do-and-why-you-shouldnt-use-them
Any app that claims to increase performance by killing tasks is a bit suspect to me for this reason.
thanks, I will take a read, I understand what you are saying and I will uninstall it to see if it makes any difference. Hopefully it might solve the problem i have with the amazon app atm as for some reason to me it seems to be malfunctioning on my device, because every 10 mins or so I got a pop up box saying "amazon isn't responding, do you want to close it?" I've uninstalled it, installed the latest version of the app but it still happens :/

As far as the amazon app goes Google older versions ,uninstall the new version and install the older version but keep the playstore from updating automatically.
Hello,
I want to mention that I didnt have any problems with my phone until 1 week ago. I just connected my phone to the charger right before I sleep, as usual, but I didnt notice that it rebooted the whole night. When I woke up I saw my phone with the time crashed and it was really hot. I turned it off for 2 hours but that of course didnt fix anything, so I tried to repair it through Xperia Companion. Then my phone seemed to be fine until a few hours later, it crashed and after a few minutes it rebooted. I didnt give up and I reset it to factory settings, but no difference at all. The phone keeps crashing and rebooting at random times (sometimes with an error message like " {this app} has stopped working", various apps but usually "Xperia Home"). What could cause this issue?

If it's persistent with a phone restore by PCCompanion, I would say some hardware failure. Are you rooted? You could maybe try with a different custom rom or something, and see what happens...

If you don't care about camera, any of the newer N roms are very nice - https://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/z1c-nougat-roms-t3460868. If camera is an issue, you'll need to stay on LP. Try Jaguar or Cm12.
*UPDATE*
I searched a bit further about my issue and in the depth of my search I found someone that told that some clean type apps can cause this problem. I have Clean Master on my phone so I deleted it. From that time I havent experienced any crash or freeze or reboot. I still dont know the reason I had this app for 8 months without any problems, I dont understand what changed now.

I thought when you said you restored with PCCompanion that meant that it was happening with clean flash and no apps installed. Cleaner apps can often cause those types of problems, and it's questionable if they even help anything. If you must have one, I recommend SDMaid.

It didnt even cross my mind that it would be any difference to mention that I reinstalled all the apps I had because I never thought that such a "usefull" app could do that damage to a phone. Im glad its fixed .
Same problem. Connected my phone to charger, wake up next morning and saw that data disabled that pops up every time phone boots, but i didn't bother and just swiped it. Later that day i kept on seeing those notifications but i didn't bother as always until my phone just froze while i was using it. I could lock it but screen just went black and same image stayed there when i unlocked it. I had to restart it with that force button under sim cover. Problem was still there after reboot so i did factory reset and it was good for few days (more like 1 day) but it happened again. So i did system reinstall with pccompanion and it worked until for a week maybe and i thought i fixed it until few hours ago when it happened again. Phone was hot whenever that happened and crash.monitor keeps crashing ironically (i think that's the cause.) I never had any cleaning apps (i had clean master app lock for locking my apps tho)
oh my god... this is exactly the same Problem and I've been having it also for about the same time. It happened first on the night from Wed, 21st to Thur 22nd. When I woke up I only saw this screen which says, thats its restoring Apps (E.g. "Restoring apps 70 out of 200" and ongoing) Happens sometimes when it crashed - which was rare - so I didn't bother too much with it, but it kept freezing suddenly and randomly at any kind of app and screen went black, only thing I could still do was long press Power button, but sometimes it wouldnt even recognize the touch e.g. to select reboot. After a while in that state it soft rebooted itself. I also force rebooted it a few times with Power + Volume Up Key.
Also tried everything, like factory reset, Software repair through Xperia Companion, then switched SD-Card, an even replaced the battery because I didn't know what else it could be. This got me so far, that I was considering flashing a different Rom and just f*** it. Now I happen to find this thread by looking through the Xperia Forum - I didn't find it through Google... That's kinda sad, I might've not opened my phone if that App is srsly at fault... but oh well. I am just as surprised as you: I thought it could be an app but had everything up to date. And tbh.. I didn't even bother with this Clean Master. I installed it 3 years ago and used it a few times.. and kinda forgot about it, so it didn't come to my mind at all that this could be the problem. I'll uninstall it now and report back if it's solved for me, too.
Can you go to diagnostics and see application incidents. If you see only crash monitor tell me. That's where problem lies most likely

In diagnostics in "start" tab i can see everything. It says 19 systems incidents, 96 application not responding and 75 Application incidents. All of this was from yesterday and earlier. Hadnt had a crash today but I'll see how it goes from now on. What do you mean by "see only crash monitor"? You mean if you didn't accept sony to collect the crash data?
You also wrote, you were using Clean Master, did you uninstall it and did this fix the issue for you, too?
In system accidents there should be only com.sonyericsson.crashmonitor.
I said i was using Clean Master AppLock not antivirus. It's just app that can lock other apps with pin so nobody can acces it without pin.
Also you can check out this where we discuss about same problem
umm in system incidents it only shows a time and date whenever a crash happened. If you mean App incidents instead: I think I understand what you're getting at. As in: If theres another app in the incidents, this is the culprit. Well, as I said it happened very randomly before you can't pin it down on a certain app. Whatever I was using crashed and gave a crash report but most incidents were with "system-ui" Anyways, had no crash since uninstall of Clean Master. So I'm good for now.
When did I mention antivirus? Im referring to this:

So Clean Master, even if you only use it to Pin Lock your apps, might be the problem. Do you still have this problem anyway? Seems like yes, since you're considering to flash a custom Rom.

You don't need phone to be turned on to use xperia companion and flashing new software. Just open it click on repair software and follow instructions. After that just dont install official facebook app since thats most likley cause of crashing. Install some 3rd party client like simple pro. I use that one its awesome
