Hey guys.
I seem to be having an error message popup on my phone about 3/4 of the time once I reboot. (see attached image)
Usually hitting wait works, but sometimes i have to force close it.
I have JFs 1.41
I thought at first it was due to the fact that I removed several stock apps (amazon mp3, calculator & alarm clock)
I also removed my entire stock ringtones folder.
So I put everything back in its place.
However, I still have the same issue!
I also tried debugging with dalvik. Didn't get much...
Anyone know whats goin on?
TIA
EDIT: Also, just wondering if theres a way to reset the phone without losin all my apps. Other than backup, i'm trying to avoid installing all of em again ;0.
I get the same error on startup
Just to add my 2 cents... I have as well removed the Alarm Clock, and Amazon MP3, and the stock ringtones (but left the folders intact & put my own tones in). I am running JF1.41, and have never seen this message.
Did you do a Nandroid backup before you started messing with things? If so, you can simply restore that, otherwise.... You would have to re-install everything in order to do a factory reset.
Have you tried going to Manage Applications - Media Storage - and clearing the data?
I would try doing a full wipe of the phone and see if the problem continues.
Just my 2 cents

Yea I've tried clearing the data. Its not fixin it tho. I have several nandroid backups. I would do a wipe but wouldn't that get rid of my apps?
Thanks guys.
restoring a nandroid backup to a time when you didn't have this issue would be the best bet, you would only lose the changes you have made since that backup.

Well I had my apps and cache on my SDcard and after updating to JF 1.41 i had to do a wipe to get it to work, but after it was up and running I just replaced the mountd.conf and init.rc files and recreated the symolic links again and rebooted and all my programs were back. Just thought I would share cause this way pretty much worked for me to not have to reinstall all my apps... I'm still pretty new to all this so maybe there is a better way.. but this worked for me...
Unusual...
First I did a nandroid restore to the time a little after I got JF's 1.41. Everything was fine at first. I installed all of my apps. Tried to reboot a few times, and bam, I see it again.
In a rage--I wipe my fone from recovery mode. I then use MyBackup to restore all of my settings and apps.
I finish, and then i try a reboot and BAMMM ****in android.process.media is not responding.
Then I tried to reboot 3 more times wthout a problem and then the 4th time gave me the same problem.
Can anyone else whose having the same issue tell me what apps theyve recently installed?
Ive figured it out. But still stuck.
The problem was that i setup a symlink for my market cache to my sd card.
I removed the /data/data/com.android.vending/cache folder and my sd cards linked cache folder.
I then made a new cache directory in com.android.vending however I noticed that it wasnt working properly. It wasnt filling up with cache when i used the market.
I removed the symlink so why wouldn't it, right?
So I chmodded it.
I tried to chown it but i keep getting back unknown user app_5 (the markets ID)
I'm stuck please someone help me out here, and hopefully we can even get the market cache properly directed to my sdcard in the process.
THANKS!

try using the numeric id with chown instead. i.e. 10005 (not positive if it will work.. just something to try)
AHhh Yay JF ILY! That worked . I feel like a retard now.
The cache appears to be filling up as normal. The error isnt gone yet tho.
The question still remains. What causes that error?
How could i stop it?
The crashing process has the same gid/uid as Android.providers.media
it seems to be an app. I wiped and then I reinstalled 1.41. Then I installed all of my apps using mybackup. I made sure to do nothing else after, and I still got it.
Its either JF's 1.41 or an app.
How can I find out
Process of elimination. Wipe the phone again, instal jf's 1.41 and boot the phone. If you don't have the error, bingo, it's an app. Then, tedious as it may be, install the apps 1 at a time and reboot after install to see if you get the error.
Yeah I have done that.
However, its reallly hard because sometimes itll go 4-5 boots without a hitch, and then suddenly itll happen.
Then at other times it'll happen nearly every time.
I have about 65 apps. That's 4-5 boots, after installing each one.
So that would mean HUNDREDS of boots. At least 200.
I've been thinking that maybe its a problem with the MyBackup app.
What if the fact that mybackup overloads the phone with 20-30 installations at a time is whats causing the issues.
Well i'm off to error and error. I mean trial and error.
I've figured it out!
It's something to do with my wifi connection.
I think its that my dns's are from opendns.
Basically whenever my wifi is active when I turn on my phone i get that error.
If i turn it off and reboot into 3g, i never have a issue.
That's why it was so random before and I couldn't find any patterns!
I'm gonna call my ISP tomorrow, but anyone know what it could be?
I don't think it has anything to do with OpenDNS. I use JF1.41 RC30, MyBackup, and OpenDNS and never have any problems...
Hmm, do you have your router setup for opendns or your phone.
I have issues where i cant get my damn router to give out working IP's, so I
need to setup the phone for a static ip and dns.
I think that if I could get it to automatically get an IP i'd be set.
EDIT: Also, could it have anything to do with the fact that I have wpa personal security (AES)
Im having a similar problem but my error is slightly different
"com.google.process.gapps" anyone know WTF that is
Its the G Talk service.
If you dont use that app you could try removing it and see if that does anything ..
Since this has been bumped, i'd like to add that it still happens whenever I'm on wifi. Really blows

Care to explain how?? Im a serious noob lol
i have a samsung galaxy s captivate i897
i bought it Feb 2012 rooted running cyanogen mod and miui. for the 9months i ownded it it worked perfectly. then al of a sudden it started crashing randomly. most apps force closing. i also get an error messoage coming up that says "device low on disk space, please free up some disk space" - this is the message i see a few days before the apps start to force close. it seems to be a gradual process - isee that message then apps start force closing. for about a week its still useable until the force closing becomes constant and i basically cant use my phone.
when it happened the first time i took it to the local phone repair shop who fixed it but a few months later the problem reoccurred. now it's got the the point where it happens every 2-3 months i take it get it fixed phone works fine for a while then the problem starts all over again. i cant seem to work out what's causing it - doesnt seemed to be linked to installing new apps or anything. also the error message about not having enough disk space i'm not sure what it means but i know that i have 16gb of starage split into internal:1.85gb (1.58available) and external 13.03gb (11.77available) so yeah plenty of space hence i'm not sure why its saying its low.
anyway whenever i get my phone back from the repair shop its wiped everything and i've always just thought that whatever they did (software stuff - to stablise the rom or sth) returned it to facotry settings BUT i'm starting to think they dont actually do anything but factory reset it :/
i'm not up to scratch on custom roms/rooting/flashing stuff like i said my phone was already rooted when it and i dont want to start messing about with it.
i want to know whats causing the problem and how i can stop it reoccuring ?
also i was wondering is it possilbe to wipe out the rooting completely? perhaps not return to stock standard but maybe just use a different or more stable rom.
ps - sorry if any of the terminology is incorrect i hope you can still understand what i'm trying to say.
any help is appreciated.

so!!!
you are saying that that root is causing all these??
thats nt the point.even with root gone I don't think you'll get rid of it. anyway to root simply install SuperSU
and unroot fully.
.
.
and about returning to stock
try smthing based on stock!!!
well no i didnt say it is because its rooted that is causing this i was was asking what is causing it?
like i said the phone worked perfectly for the first 9months i had it and has always been rooted.
and like i said i dont know how to do any tech stuff so "simply unroot fully" doesnt help my much.
Just backup, wipe, and reflash a new rom.
"just" thats the point i dont feel confident enough to do any of that.
not just that i dont feel confident - that i dont know HOW to do it!!
what do you think is causing the problem?
like i said the phone worked fine for the first 9months i had it (not sure how long it had been rooted before that) so why would it suddenly become unstable? i've never did any tech stuff myself and even something simple like perhaps a certain app or sth is interfering (not sure if that's possible/likely) but i cant seem to identify.
like i said all i get is "device low on disk space" despite the fact its not - i guess if i could figure out why it says that and how to fix that problem which seems to then lead to all my apps force closing.
Greetings .. I've put my self into a dilemma I cannot solve for over a month now, Let me try put my Issue in order
- I've had my device with the stock it comes with & never updated it ever since I bought it "less than 8 month ago", Then I rooted it somehow and figured out how to flash Roms with Odin.
- I Flashed Android Revolution HD on it and used it for a while and then I decided it's time to go back to stock.
- I Formatted it & downloaded N8000XWALI4_N8000OJVALI2_N8000XXALI3_HOME.tar since I live in Egypt & It gave me a hard time installing it but at the end i figured out how to do it right.
- Now every few hours My Device Memory keep filling up without actually putting anything on my device built in memory ever since I Installed this which is 4.0.4 Android. [Only Device Memory Gets Filled]
- I've kept checking around and tried to "Factory data reset" device multiple times and it still does the same thing after, I gave it a few hours then i keep checking the Storage .. it goes from 11.11GB to 10.5GB .... 9.6GB .. less than 30 hour it got no Available memory left.
- I kept goofing around until i figured that thing with *#9900# to reset dumpstate/logcat which actually Partially solved my issue .. but the thing is .. my note keep getting filled each 24~30 hour & the battery usage empty faster with this so I keep deleting dumpstate/logcat files every day or else device memory is full and it start to act crazy, lagging and getting stuck in lockscreen.
- I've tried to use Kies to update my software hopefully that might solve my issue but when I try to upgrade it, it says " 'GT-N8000' does not support initialising "
Now please You probably have Noticed I do Suck when it comes to android so in simple steps may I get suggestions on how to solve this issue ? and if there is something I need to be trying that already exist on the forums, link me cause I've searched for what I think is my problem but nothing came up .. maybe its under another name I don't know, all Help will be Appreciated & Thanks in Advance :fingers-crossed:
I'm overwhelmed by the silence of every one .. I mean is this really that big of an issue that nobody here have the slightest idea of how to deal with it ? and thinking that its a new problem to the brains here make me even more scared that my Note have gone to wreck .. I still clean my dump on daily basis or else applications keep closing on me while using it.. my cam won't open & videos won't play until I clean my dump files .. I believe there is more android pros here than anywhere else I could meet in RL.
Don't hesitate to share any ideas that comes up your mind, at the end It might be something silly I forgot to do cause I'm bad/new with android ... I'll try anything that make sense .. maybe even nonsense and please ask anything I might have forgot to say before .. cause this issue is driving me banana :silly:
i have the same problem...

i have the same problem with u,
i bought the device with 4.1.2 version, but i need to downgrade it to 4.0.4 version for a specific hack to run (coz it supports up to 4.0.4),
after i downgraded to 4.0.4, then i discovered this memory glitch /dump problem also, *#9900# seems to be the one of the options to fix it temporarily if you wanna to keep 4.0.4 or...just update to 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 , then you will be totally fine,
try to get 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 firmware in samfirmware and use odin to flash it,
i tried 2 GT-N8000 devices already (YES, TWO) , it's the same memory bug happens if you stay in 4.0.4,
i also hope some senior users here can tell me what happens so that i can gain knowledge also...
Hey All,
This will be my first post here, so I may be a little different.. anyway the purpose of this post is that I done something completely stupid by deleting the stock Phone application on my SONY XPERIA E3 D2206, I can't answer or make calls, when someone calls me I loose all service to my phone provider and it says com.android.phone or something similar to that stopped, and if I get a voicemail it just goes insane, I keep getting notifications over and over and over again, and it says the same error, I was wondering if their is any way I can gain access to the phone app now by using .apks or something like that? I don't really have a way to flash any ROMs in any way, shape or form. Any help would be appreciated ?
Does anyone have any way to fix this?
Hey guys,
I tried posting in a related thread, but someone suggested looking here.
I dont know as much as you guys, but I am having a problem with my LG Stylo 2 (MS550)
I am getting the "corrupt" error message and I need to get some important data from the phone's memory.
I am willing to do ANYTHING.
I decent with electronics, but I have never gotten into Android stuff.
Here is the problem:
My LG Stylo 2 froze one day and I had to take the battery out to shut it off. When I tried to reboot it, it wouldn't do anything. Now a month has passed and when I power on, sometimes it says:
"Your device is corrupted and cannot be trusted"
The top left of the sceen says "Boot verification Fail!! - cause DIFFERENT_HASH" and there is always a different 4 digit number to the left of the message.
It just keeps rebooting and cycles thru the same thing.
I cannot enter recovery mode, but I can access fastboot mode and the factory reset screen. I have NOT done a reset or touched anything. I can get the computer to recognize the USB connection for the fastboot, but I don't know what software I need to look at/edit it.
I believe that I have some very important data on the phone memory. I am willing to do anything to find out.
I dont care about fixing the phone. I just need to access the data. Mainly text messages and files that are saved on the phone's memory. Photos would help, but are not important.
I have been searching everywhere and it's hard for me to find much helpful info.
I am hoping that there might be some software that might allow me to copy the phone memory. But it sounds like I might need to repair the bootloader first?
If it comes down to it, I am willing to crack it open and manually make a conection to the phone's memory. I am fairly good with electronics, but I need to know what Im looking for and how to get it. I have used arduino with an FTDI adapter to program some boards before, but nothing this complex. I am willing to purchase whatever I need to get this job done. I do not have access to a raspberry pi, but I assume that it would be compatible. I am willing to do any soldering but I dont know what connections to look for. It there somewhere I can find a complete diagram/pinout for this phone? (LG Stylo 2). If anybody knows any information about how I can get the data, please let me know.
I was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor and I don't know how much time I have left.
Meanwhile, I am being accused of something that I did not do, and there is evidence on the phone that will help.
You guys can be as harsh if you want, but at this point I just need a little help. I am willing to try anything.
Please let me know if anybody can help point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
