I'm having a serious issue with PowerAmp app. My settings are getting reset to default every time the program is completely closed (either by a task manager or after a reboot). Not only that, the change log and Thank you popups come up every startup after the complete shutdown. Pls help resolve.
On contacting the Dev, he says its a UID mismatch issue and it can be solved by uninstalling and reinstalling the program. However that has not fixed the issue.

Strange, I'm using the PowerAmp app and I don't experience this. Have you tried contacting the Dev again about this?
Have you tried downloading it again and then installing it?
One possibility is that when you re-install it you are restoring corrupt settings back onto your device.
Have you tried a hard reset/factory reset then installing it again to see if it works?
It's working now. I used root explorer and navigated to the dbdata folder. Then I deleted the folder corresponding to Poweramp. Since then settings are not getting reset every time I end the app using a task manager.
None of the above works for me:
- uninstalled PowerAMP
- uninstalled PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker
- Deleted sdcard/Android/data/com.maxmpz.audioplayer directory with Super Manager
- reset the phone
- installed PowerAMP
- installed PowerAMP Full Version Unlocker
Same problem! Any ideas?

You will need a file explorer like root explorer since you are rooted. You got the wrong folder. You have to first uninstall full version. Then go to dbdata folder which is above the sdcard folder. Go to the power amp folder and delete the shared peers file. After that reinstall power amp it should be fine..
@mithunjo - you are so right! Super Manager was not it, Root Explorer did it. Thanks!

im having the same problem with power amp. however i couldnt find the folder "dbdata".i evn tried to use the search feature in root explorer to locate the folder but no use!. any suggestions?
im using sony ericsson official 2.1 firmware 0.24 and am rooted
same problem here... will try... thanks!
The dbdata folder is above the internal sdcard folder. In that delete the preferences file in the power amp folder which goes something like maxmp.player..
If you don't want to spend money for the 'Root Explorer', like me, get the 'Terminal Emulator'. It's free, and will give you a terminal interface. Open the app, press the menu button and choose the option to show the keyboard. The following commands will 1) give root permissions to the app and 2) delete the settings folder of PowerAMP:
su
rm -r /dbdata/databases/com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Thats it. The folder is gone. In my case I had to deinstall poweramp before this procedure, and reinstalled afterwards. Finally I can use PowerAmp again.
I've also had that problem (Galaxy S with Darky 8.0 (JPY) ) and deleting dbdata\databases\com.maxmpz.audioplayer helped me. I didn't even have had to uninstall and install PowerAMP.

Tried deleting only the folder with RootExplorer without uninstalling and then reinstalling PowerAMP.
I'll see if this is enough.
I have a rooted htc Inspire running CyanogenMod nightlies.
I have used RootExplorer to look for dbdata and have not been able to find it. I've been through every file with RExplorer and have also used it to search for the file. Both ways I have come up empty. Am I missing something?
And I did read the enitire thread first
Thanks for any help.

Hey Everyone,
I was rooted before and I had ARHD 4.0X and it was working fine.
I superwiped and got ARHD 6.0.X , but the stock music software can't find any music file from my sd card and add them to library.
This also happend to contacts while it was not able to find v-card backups in my SD card.....
I almost tried all the ICS roms out there , same problem.
there was this wifi problem, it turned out to be cuz of my service provider, a little script solved it,
and I am so like this :
can anyone help me ?
Fix permissions thats what fixed it for me
sorry, I am kindda new to this whole android world, permissions ? are we talking about some file access permissions ? would you please light me up a lil ?
I think he means to boot into your recovery and choose the "Fix Permissions" option.
doesn't work i'm afraid
Have you tried the "clear data" option within Settings, Apps?
Worked for me when I had the same issue.
I've just moved from 4.4.2 to 5.0 on my Nexus 5 and used Ti to restore all my apps. It kept hanging on restoring TwoDots so I skipped it and installed everything else. Now I can't restore TwoDots from Ti and I can't install it from the Play Store (error -506).
I'm thinking I must have some kind of corrupt partial restore of the app but I don't know how to go about solving that. Have wiped cache/dalvik to no avail.
Having the same issue with Google Keep.
Came from 4.4.4 and onto 5.0 on my Moto G LTE. Restoring via Titanium Backup gives me the insufficient space error which is weird, because I have a lot of space for apps. Tried via Play Store and it returned a rare 506 error. Still looking for a solution.
Edit: Just solved this from my side by deleting the data folder of said application. In my case, it was com.google.android.keep which I got rid of via an app called System Cleanup. Hope this helps.

Hey Zyquil. I still have this problem n cant delete com.instagram.android while using System Cleanup. Any ideas how I can solve this?
Error 506
Same problem. I have tried all the above suggestions, including reboots, to no avail. It's happening for Titanium, GoSMS, Roboform & FxExplorer, while others of similar sizes install ok. All of them have been installed and working previously. Sometimes Play Store just crashes with these, or I get 'insufficient storage, manage apps to free space' when sideloading.
Go figure!

I reckon my problems were caused by using the Link2Sd app. I moved too many apps to sdcard. A factory reset and reflashing my ROM sorted the problem. Link2Sd is still an excellent app manager app and allows (amongst other things) linking phone storage apps to the sdcard to save memory space. Just use it cautiously.
If you use a root explorer, goto data/data, there are dead files in there under google music, or talk, delete them , then try to reinstall from play store, worked perfectly for me and killed the 506 error, these are from past error installs and Android thinks the app is still installed. I personally use root explorer and within all the actual blue file folders under data/data, the corrupt ones showed as white unknown files, if I helped hit thanks.... These are actually like leftover residual file fragments from a prior intall, that for some reason Android 5.0+ doesn't clean out, tombstones
thankz ...working (data/data/ com.whatsapp - deleted)

Simply funciounou me, just having to delete files corrupted by Link2SD worth it
I fixed it with sd maid, running the corps cleaner. I'm on lolipop.
I used this fix and it worked perfectly.
I too use link2sd and after a crash I could not reinstall several of my Apps.
I used root explorer as described and when I deleted the non-blue files in data\data folder I could install all my apps.
Thanks to Thunder Droid

It works for me to reinstall the app, but now I can't move this apps to SD Card, do you know how to solve it, please?
And when I try to move the app to SD card with Link2SD card I got the following error:

Can you help me, please?

Thank you so much. This really saved me from resetting my phone!!! I spent the whole damn night last night ;(
Update: Some apps are still nasty and come up with the same error like: CF.lumen, Google Gesture, Tangram.

Exactly that!
I had Link2SD installed and had moved a lot of apps to the ext4 partition of my SGS4 with CM12.1. Now I changed my SD-card from 64 GB to 128 GB. I had backuped all these apps with Titanium, well, but I didnt delete all those links.
Effect was that restore with Titanium was not possible (forever the MsgBox "....blabla restore...". With Google Play I had this Error Code -506, which is nowhere described I guess.
After I deleted all those dead symlinks I could reinstall or restore the apps, only thing now: Titanium did the restore not to the internal system but to the external sd-card, at least told me so. Now I could move them through the systems app management to the internal system but I think this was not the most elegant way to manage.
same problem for me with few apps.
here my exprerience:
system cleanup do nothing
root explorer free edition can't browse data folder; pro version not buyed
es file explorer free edition has a root explorer but show an empty folder when browsing data
sd maid work great!
thanks @Aventura5
Thank you brother.

Wow! It worked like a charm! Thaaaaaank you! ??
FIXED. Got the same problem here. Trying to install new apps but it kept saying error 506. I'm a link2sd user and i was guessing that the problem came from this app. Just go to the settings>install location>select internal. It worked for me.
I found an easier way to fix this issue. If you have titanium backup installed, run batch mode and remove orphan data.
After that, install from playstore was a breeze.
Hit thanks if this helped you.

Hi
I have a problem with the phone's memory. I installed GTA San Andreas ... did not work, so I removed the application. File does not exist, but the memory is still full. The second problem is that I installed an application on Google Play ... At the end of the installation I received a message that there is no space. The application is not installed, and disappeared 300mb memory. Does anyone know what the problem is?
Ps I add storage settings screen.

Yes, I found this anomaly too. My solution is to try to install some file explorer (I used ES file explorer) and if you have root, go to the /data/legacy/0 directory and manually delete all the useless content. I don't know why but a lots of stuff is not recognised while browsing the /sdcard content. If you don't have root acces, well than try a factory reset it should work.

In Android/obb I don't have any GTA files... All is deleted :/
And i don't have /data/legecy/0
Than I don't have any other tips, you should do a factory reset than. I hope this one will work for you.
