I love this phone, but my memory is maxed out and I have barely added anything to it besides what came installed on the phone. I've checked other websites and so far I've been told there is no way of deleting ANYTHING pre-installed on the phone. There are a lot of programs I do not use and would love the extra space for other things. Does anyone know what I can do? I opened up the files through active-synce but they appear as read-only and will not let me delete them. The only thing I added to my phone was a ringtone manager but it has to be in the main memory to work, and so do the ringtones even though I have them stored on my SD card. I really need to delete some programs. I can't even use my phone right now because the memory is so low it won't support opening much of anything so it constantly freezes. I took the phone in to verizon but they don't have any tech support for me and know very little about the phone because they haven't incountered many problems with it. Please, what can I do? I love this phone, but right now it's doing me no good. I've tried going through and deleting everything else I could find but to no avail.
Hi guys,
I am having a problem with my phone, i've researched everywhere but it seems that no one is experiencing the issue as me, or at least I couldnt find anybody.
The thing is that one day after syncing my phone, when I unmounted the sd card(in the correct way) and I inserted it in the phone, the phone started to freeze everytime I locked it, once I locked the phone it became unresponsie, everytime. I can turn on the display but it doesnt respond to touch, the digital buttons either. However, if I get a notification it does show up in the display, so the phone its not dead.
This behavior happens with every card I have, ive tried with 3 different cards and everytime I sync them to my mac my phone responds this way.
I did a factory reset, I wiped everything and installed different roms but the issue remains. I also formatted the cards several times.
For the phone to work correctly it has to be card-free or with a sd card that has never synced with my computer.
I uploaded a video to make the problem more understandable, Im really desperate so any help will be greatly appreciated,
thank you!!

If the issue only happen AFTER you sync it to your PC that would make me think to look at what files you are syncing and how you are doing it. What are you loading on to your sd card? What class is your SD card as I have seen cards with a class less then 4 can cause issues.
Yes I thought of that, im just syncing music, and its the exact playlist i've been syncing before with this phone. I did a virus scan and nothing. Maybe a file suddenly became corrupted, but there is no warning about that..
I've tried with class 6, class 4 and class 2, all with the same problems..
I forgot to clarify that yesterday I synced the same files and for a while everything worked perfectly, I was able to play my music, etc. But all of a sudden I opened the camera app and the phone freezed, It did this everytime until I removed the card...
I appreciate your help, thanks

Sounds like maybe the virus scan is not detecting it. Are you syncing it while the card is in the phone? I would try that with blocks of music until the problem pops up and then you can slim it down from there
zelendel, thanks for your help, I did try those things and the problem remains.
However after trying different things I discovered that the files are not the problem because I synced all my music wirelessly and everything worked perfectly. Until I connected my phone to my mac without syncing and unmounted the sd-card.
My guess is that there is a problem with the mount-unmount mechanism, it may be a hardware issue I dont know. Its weird, because once I unmount, the sd-card prepares and the phone identifies it, but after that I cant open any music application, camera, etc and once I lock and try to unlock the phone, it freezes as I stated before.. Im lost
What do you think? any ideas?
thanks again!
Same Thing here in Xperia mini St15i Please Helpppppp?!

Sorry, something that is confusing....if you are unmounting your sdcard then that is why that you cannot open files..it is unmounted. What happens when u pull your sdcard out? unmount it from settings>storage and see how the phone behaves....if works smoothly then it might be a slot issue....
If your phone rooted?
Its stock rom? Hace u ever do something to ir? Probably its hardware problem.

Hello fellas
Same problem experienced here on two different Huwawei android phones -> sonic and ideos..gingerbread and froyo respectively.
Everytime the phones do sdcard I/O opps, all UI elements become unresponsive but bg tasks run coz they ring during incoming calls and texts.
The sdcard is the same...a 4gb kingston.
I know the sdcard works well because i've tested it more than once using H2testw 1.4 ....no flaws reported at all!
The card also works flawlessly on my nokia E63.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
sd card error ... guess so.
Hey there am too experiencing the same prob . When i insert the sd card class 2 the phone freezes , and becomes unresponsive until i remove the card ... Since dis post is about 2 yr old so guess there might b some solution to dis prob ... .... thankzz in advance
Has anyone experienced this?
I was looking last night to figure out where the space had gone on my internal "SD". I have a Videos folder that I copy things onto to watch at work that appeared to be empty, which was great, but then I got low space warnings when copying things to that folder, which was not so good.
I looked around, trying to figure out what was eating so much of my memory (this is all done via my Win 7 PC over USB) and couldn't see anything that was that big. I looked in a Pictures folder that I know contains pictures of my kids and wife that I keep separate from my camera pics and that's when I knew there was something up. It didn't show any files. Weird.
Root Explorer shows the files just fine (the Videos folder contained 1 season of a British Comedy and 5 stand-up comedy videos).
Not a huge deal, but I'm wondering if anyone has run into this before. I never saw this happen prior to restoring to stock a few weeks ago (now on Slim Bean 3.1). Maybe someone else has had this happen and knows a fix (or maybe it's the precursor to the phones memory failing, which I'd really like to know ASAP cause it's still under warranty). Like I said, not a big deal right now as I can still access the files with Root Explorer, but I've never heard of this happening (heard of it happening the other way, though).
Phone is connected via MTP, not as USB Mass Storage. Have not tried it in any other mode yet (and won't be able to until I get home from work).
ive ran into alot of ddifferent time on my phone ive noticed that the drain normally isnt your files you put on the internal its more of the Games and stuff which we dont tend to notice and back uo and restores. when my pc wouldnt find the files i downloaded a app called USB switcher what i did was toggle it from whatever mode i was already in MTP to UMS vice versa and it started shwoing me the files i dont know anything about it being hardware failure or not but maybe this might help
Hi all
Today i took my Samsung 64GB SD card out of my Samsung Note Pro 12.2 (after unmounting the card first of course!) and put it in my Xperia Z3, but upon viewing the contents of the card I see that 99% of the photos, videos and music that was on there has been deleted. The card shows as having 59.9GB free space. The data that I have lost totals roughly 40GB.
Also, the folder names have been altered, for example "music" has become "music.7" and "photo" has become "photo.3".
Can anyone explain why this may have happened, and if there is a way of recovering the data?
Since the data loss i havent used the card, aside from putting it back in the Note Pro 12.2 in the hope that the data would show on this device. It didnt.
I would be gutted if there is no way of retrieving my family photos and videos.
And yes, i know I you'll all say i should have backed up, but funnily enough I took the card out of the Note Pro 12.2 to begin doing just that! how ironic.
If it didn't work in the z3 I'd have put it back in the note to retrace my steps. Files don't just disappear without cause. I always turn my device off when I pull the card. Plus being that it's "android", could there be a (godforbid) sync issue?

hmm, well as i said above I did just that. Saw that the z3 showed an almost blank card and put it back in the note.
Aside from the data loss I am also intrigued how the folder names became changed from the moment just before I unmounted the card to when i put it in the z3. What on earth would have caused that?!
Sorry to hear that really. Tbh, it has to be a note issue being that when you unmounted and removed it that is when it happened. I would go through all it's settings to see if it or an apk installed has some weird permissions. Don't you just love android? I find it fascinating if not quite the child-like OS. Not enough transparency or control whatsoever.
afaik android doesn't have many issues with viruses but it might have been one.
or
the files are stored to a cloud and aren't on your card but online somewhere (an app uploaded them for you)
or
the files have been compressed (unlikely since i don't believe you can compress 50gb to 10gb)
anyways, you can try several sd card recovery tools

I was just putting some more music on my OnePlus One (using MTP on my pc) when I got slightly irritated of all the junk folders on it. I decided I should clean some of them.
After I finished copying my music I noticed my phone couldn't access the internal SD anymore. I did a reboot, same thing. It kind of shows my SD now, but it's almost empty...
When I attach it to my pc, I see the same (almost none) files.
Anyone an idea what I did wrong, and how to fix?
Many thanks in advance.
Have you tried using fastboot to go back to stock? You will lose all of your data if you do this, so hopefully you have a backup on your pc. It seems like something happened with your partitions when you were deleting stuff.
