Hello !
I hope I'll find a way to solve my issue because it is quite troublesome so thanks to anyone who can help.
Alright, so my story is simple. I own a Galaxy S3 (intl) running for quite some time with a CM.
Needless to say, I hade quite the "enjoyment" while playing with nightly builds... anyway, I tried a Nandroid backup for the first time
when I decided to try CM 10.2 based on the recent release of Android 4.3.
Before that, I always used TitBK each time I wasn't sure the ROM I was about to flash was stable when a new version of Android was involved.
Since I heard about Nandroid backup, I tried it the first time when moving to CM 10.2 on it's early stage.
Such a terrible mistake ... blincking-black-half-screen, phone app not installed (!!!!???) such as many other app, very UNSTABLE, and battery unfriendly as well.
So I tried my first restore through CMW.
It partly failed but only while restoring the data. Thanksfully, I managed to restore all the data from the Nandroid backup through TitKBK.
So where does my picture problem figured in all of this ?
It's simple.
Before understanding how to restore all the data, I tried restoration many times.
As you would know, all the current user android folder is moved to a 0 folder when a factory reset/wipe data is actioned.
So I have to move it back each time through a cut-paste process. I do that because there are my TitBK files inside so when I install TitBK, it will recognise the backup files and therefore can proceed to a restorarion. And this includes my pictures as well.
What is I do not understand is why my picture files suddenly became empty ? I did not notice it immediately until I tried to show a two-days-old picture to someone.
Well, truth be told, it's been since CM 10.2 first release on the SGS III that I noticed that, but I did not take time to ask for help until today.
It was not the first time I made a factory reset thus going through that cut-paste process.
I had to make factory reset a very long time ago and I had no problem at all when doing this cut-paste process..
Which is even weirder, is that even very recent pictures are corrupted (let's face it, they are corrupted, right ?) like almost a day old, but not all of them, hence the 95% in the title. Of course, all pictures I made since are not corrupted (thank god), But needless to say that any picture or movie I shot that are more than a day old are unreadable.
Facts :
Windows Explorer and ES Explorer show all the picture files, but say they are empty.
On my extSD Card I have a LOST.DIR folder that, I've been told, contains all files that were lost. There are almost 300 files in it, up to 1.5Gb.
Not sure if these are my pictures, but I hope so. However, 300 is at least the half of my corrupted pictures :/
As soon as I get a mSD adapter to SD, I'll do a Recuva deep scan on it.
Does anyone know anything that could help ?
UP
Went to third pade
No idea ??
I feel like I'll never get my pictures back

yes you can use recuva or any other file recovery software to get back your pictures so long as you did not over write anything new on it it can be recovered by using this or this or [URL="http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec"]this and many more recovery tools [/URL]

Well, I finally tried Recuva, none were pictures, juste some musics files (I store all my music on my mSD).
What was weird, is that Recuva recovered over 5000 files with a deep scan, but the "All Files" filter did no return anything.
I tried other scans but nothing relevant was found. So I formated my mSD because I needed the storage space.
Anyway, I still have access to those pictures. All the files are here, but ... all are empty displaying 0 bytes.

Sorry for the long title thread, wanted to get all the basics in, hoping people won't skim by another 'help.running out of mem' type thread title.
To break it down a little more fully...
HTC Hurricane (badged up as Orange C550)
SIM and APP unlocked
Recently upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1 (using ROM and instructions here)
The amount of Storage memory is very low 1.7-2Mb
In terms of additional software installed to the phone, and NOT the storage card, I only have QuickReset (6Kb)
6.38Mb of the available 17.95Mb for storage memory is taken up by one font in the /windows/ (not windows/fonts/) directory - youyuan.ttf . I believe this is a chinese (simp?trad?) font, which came installed with the custom ROM (selang09's wm 6.1 - see thread link above).
What I have tried (after googling and searching here and over at modaco)
deleting the font (Resco Explorer, Windows Explorer from PC)
renaming the font with a new extension youyuan.ttf > youyuan.txt
adding to the font's extension youyuan.ttf > youyuan.ttf.txt
moving the font to another folder, rebooting and deleting from there (wouldn't actually move the font in the first place, only copy)
edit the registry and remove all references to the font, reboot and try same steps above
The first four methods were all solutions I found online that others had recommended when font file removal had been an issue. The fifth I just thought I should try before posting here. The only issue is that some of the apps now have squares rather than chinese symbols - not a problem as I couldn't understand the correct symbols. I've gotten by with random menu selections so far
Am I missing an obvious trick? I'd really like to be able recover some more storage memory, some apps aren't running due to low disk space, when they use temp files etc.
If I've missed out anything information wise, please do let me know.
If I should have read something properly, and the fix is a 5 second job, feel free to take mick, but do please reply if you know how to delete/amend this file.
Many thanks.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for where to look for an answer? I've tried on this forum, general googling and also over at modaco.
Am I approaching this in the wrong manner?
With less than 2Mb free for storage, with nothing else I can find that I could remove, I'm often hitting problems with programs and games trying to place temporary files there whilst being run, and crashing out. Installing anything (obviously onto the storage card) requires finding the CAB file for it, and copying over manually, as otherwise, using Activesync to install in the normal manner, CABs seem to be temporarily stored in Storage, even before you get to the point of being asked where you want to actually install it.
If not delete, is there any way I can set a command to run before the GUI is too far loaded, that would make the file 0 bytes? As I don't use chinese characters, and have removed reg. references to it, I'd not be losing any functionality.
PS Waited until this thread slipped off the front page before bumping, hope this is considered polite enough around here...
No one ever had any idea how to sort this? I eventually discovered that a hard reset and not re-importing my old SMS etc freed up more memory, but I was surprised that no one had encountered this and found a solution?

so from what i understand is that every time you delete the font it comes back after a reboot?
Thanks for responding. No, I am simply unable to delete the font in the first place. I've tried all the steps I mentioned in the first post, I think I was either using Total Commander or Resco Explorer. I tried removing the reg entries referring to the ttf file in case they caused the file to be locked, but to no avail.
Hello all,
I was trying to install CWM on my transformer, and I was successful. The issue is that now I cannot start my transformer. When I press the power button, it turns on and comes to the screen with "Eee Pad" in the middle with Asus at the bottom and the Tegra logo below that. It sits at this screen with the speakers making a popping sound.
I followed the tutorial at this link:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk_JREpqFkk
I had already done the one click root in the dev section, and I followed the tutorial in the description of the link above, I didn't know it was going through rooting before getting to install CWM, so I followed all the steps. I finally got to the end and tested to see if CWM was installed and it is. but I am having the issue I described above.
I want to flash a new ROM, but there are files I need to get off the internal storage, the CWM backup didn't get the files I wanted.
I decided to run ADB to try and get the files, it is able to list everything on the device, but when I issue the "pull" command, it says "error: device not found."
Is there any hope of getting my files off of this before I just flash a ROM since CWM is working? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I guess my next question is if I were to go ahead and flash a new ROM, will it touch the internal "SDCARD" folder? As I mentioned before I have a nandroid backup of all my apps, so that isn't an issue right now.
Flashing a rom won't touch your SDCARD folder. Now that you have CWM on there, I would do a wipe and reflash whatever ROM you're using. If your device is showing a boot screen at all, its not bricked.
Well I went ahead and did a wipe and flash of Krakd. Turns out I did lose the files on the internal storage. This will be a lesson learned for me, get a better backup system in place. I lost half of my semesters notes due to my impatience to get to a new ROM. *Note to self: Don't flash ROMs just before college finals week.*
I had most of my files backing up to dropbox with SugarSync, but a small chunk which happens to be the chunk I need for my final exams is lost. Unless flashing the ROM hid my files in some other directory it seems they are gone.
I do thank you for trying to help me out, and I am typing this from my Transformer, so it is back up and running, restoring all my apps. And I do have to say that Krakd is one hell of a fast ROM compared to stock, theres barely a hiccup even while it is restoring 150+ apps from my google account.
EDIT:
Actually I just realized that even though SugarSync was turned off on my PC, it was still backing up online automatically so I have recovered most of my notes. So as a message to everyone else, get sugarsync set up, it automatically syncs your files in the background, and it turned out to be a big life saver for me.
Possible Brick....
Can still see files with adb....
FYI
In the strictest sense of the term, bricking must imply that software error has rendered the device completely unrecoverable without some hardware replacement.
It was never a brick, the only bricks around are the ones that dropped from your arse when you couldnt boot the tablet.

Haha, I like that line, definitely true.
I did realize that the term 'brick' meant that the device was just as useful as a brick when that actually occurred, I just wanted to get some attention to the thread to possibly get it fixed sooner. If anything it was a soft brick.

Don't take it personally. You have more knowledge about Android software and hardware than I do, if you were at my level of knowledge I'm sure you'd want as many brains as you could looking at the issue to help out. I wasn't doing it to be a 'chump.'
I rarely ask questions on here because after enough searching around, I usually find a solution has already been found to my problem. This case was one of those times where I could not find a similar issue to solve my problem, and to me it was a time-sensitive problem.

this may have been time sensitive, but everyone gets the same treatment around here if it is a bootloop or a full brick, you cried wolf, yet there was nothing more than a turkey running around

I just received my tablet whats the first steps i should do, how can i get titanium backup, also the left bottom screen sticks out

This.
I am going to get supernote or whatever.
I know the very FIRST app I will mess with will be Google Music to get my entire collection downloaded for offline use.
The first thing I do is read the right threads
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764480
That'll cover apps to try out. Theres exsisting threads about how to root, which is required for TB.
but to answer your question, the first thing i do, after re-installing all of my apps of course, is restore the data to my apps.
and i believe you need to be Rooted to get full use out of Titanium backup. But the Infinity comes with an that lets you back up the data and the apps.
head over to the Theme forum for answers to the best apps.
If you choose to restore data in addition to apps, be sure to take it slow. Restoring data is a common way of causing seemingly unrelated problems without realizing it.

i usually restore data based on the app. For example, NoteEverything has a backup and restore function. I use the built in restore function (if available) of my apps to do any restoring. Back when i had my DX, i used titanium to restore data. Its been a long time since i did a full data restore.
setup wireless silly
:fingers-crossed:
First think would be to un-box it and if you are in a mood, you can record the unboxing and post it on youtube
haha i took pictures of it, set up wifi and downloaded chrome so i dont ever have to use stock browser. now im trying to get the apps from my htc one x to go into this one. is it possible to copy the backups of apps on my phone into the storage of tablet ? and the screen jets out very little but why would i wait a week for amazon to receive it, then to ship out yet another one , not knowing if it will be the same or not .
i then went to best buy about 10 minutes ago and bought a tf201 dock. its a LOT of purple lol. whoever made the thread saying it isnt, is blind. if you have just 1 window it does randomly turn into aluminum gray but wow in like no light the thing is all 7 shades of purple ;] haha i can see that bothering a businessman enough to make him return it but im a hispter and like the color difference so ill keep it. when you guys show people the tablet pretend its a net book, then tear the screen right off and watch their faces DROP xD
Exactly what I do. I go through and restore app+data only on things that need it. Games, color note, so on. I learned the hard way when I couldn't access part of the settings after flashing. Turned out that I was restoring fonts and **** that had no business being restored. Stupid noob mistakes.

Hi all
I have an issue with google photos that is doing my head in. Basically when i take a batch of photos i then, when home switch on auto backup and they upload to google photos (great thats what i want !) i can then move them on google photos into albums and view these on all of my nexus devices through the gallery app.
Again all is great apart from one thing, when i go into the gallery app on say my nexus 5, all my photos are there in the albums etc, however i have one album thats called "auto backup" it has about 46 photos all of which appear in other albums but i cant no matter what i do get rid of this one album.
I have signed into google plus on pc and this album does not exist on there for me to delete. I have googled the problem and all the answers tell me to go into google settings and un sync google photos completely. I don't want this i just want this one album to vanish.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Chris
Edit:
Ok i saw that the auto-backup folder holds all the pictures that were backuped from any mobile device from the same account. You cannot delete that folder, as its not really a folder in the original sense. I think its just a "link" to a collection of all automatically backuped pictures. But since these pictures are all in different folders, if you would delete that "folder" the pics would also be deleted in your real folders/albums.
I hope this makes sense for you
So the folder you want to delete is no folder, only a shortcut to see all backuped pics that now are in various other albums.

Yeah, i nearly was afraid of this
Its so difficult for me to tell...i just have too many pics. But before i answered with my last post i double checked on my 2 Nexus devices (5 & 7) and i really looked that way. But with 3000 and more pics its not easy to tell if its exactly that pics.
But ill also recheck this because i also want to know how exactly this photobackup works...
What i also wonder about is why there are all the various backup-options there, i also asked it here a while ago but no answer yet. What i mean is this:

Thanks if I untick them boxes will it get rid of all my albums?
Hi there,
First of all, sorry because English is not my mother tongue. I will try to explain my problem here as well as I can but I say sorry in advance for any error that I could make when writing this post here.
Few days ago I bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. I have barely used it but after few days I realised that nearly 50Gb (49.3 Gb) are already taken by "System/user data" according to what it is specified in the "Device care" storage options of the phone.
As I said, I have had no time to use the device yet apart from receiving a pair of calls with it and trying to install the F-Droid application. The day when I installed F-Droid I downloaded from there the Termux terminal to check if I could be able to check the F-Droid apk agaisnt the signature to verify the download.
One of the days I began to receive notifications to upload the system. I received many of these and I proceeded to allow all of them. There was a moment when I had the impression that the notifications were too many and when I began to read them carefully I noticed that some of them were similar to the previous ones. Notifications continued but I stopped to allow them. By then the display of the device has changed. I think this was due to the change from Android Oreo to Pie.
Some time after I realised about the problem that I mention here. I have not saved any content to the phone yet (no photos, no videos, even I have not set my email there yet).
I tried to reset the mobile to its factory settings. I had no worries of doing that because as I said I had nothing yet important on my phone. After trying that a pair of times the problem of the system storage was still there.
I have tried to use CCleaner and LTE CLeaner to solve this issue without any success. I have tried to dial *#9900# on the phone and then select from menu - "delete dumpstate/logcat" as proposed in Androidforums. I was able to perform this latter mentioned procedure but nothing changed (I have read that for some people is not possible to do this latter because their carriers do not allow them to use this option - *#9900#-)
The other solution that I read and that I have not tried yet is to root the phone and manually trying to find and delete the files which may be taking the storage, however I am hesitant to do so because I have no experience at all and it is a brand new and expensive phone as you know. I feel bad thinking about trying to root and solve this problem by myself and voiding completely my guarantee of the device.
I am still in the period of 15 days in which I can return the phone according the law for protecting customers of my country, however I am afraid that if I go back to the store from where I bought the device and ask there for a change to a new Note 9 they might tell me that everything is just my fault for having installed some apps from outside the Google and Samsung official apps stores.
Do you think I am already out of guarantee for just installing F-Droid and Termux?
Could you give me some advice about how to deal with this issue? Would be possible to avoid the rooting procedure to solve this problem?
Thank you very much for your help.
Any help so far?
Ok the system user data is where apps store their stuff. If you didn't root then you don't even have access to it. So I'm betting that most of it is normal storage stuff. Even my 64 gb uses 22gb of stuff that I can't touch but that is normal.

No, I do no think that 50 GB of unknown storage is something normal.

Well considering that without root you have no access to that partition. I am almost sure that it is normal for the apps you have installed. The only way to find out for sure is to factory reset and look at the storage amount is by default. The more apps you install the more that partition will fill up. ITs not unknown. IT is app data. You must be new to android.

Like I said. That is a partition you have zero control over without root. Mine is stiing at 22gb out of 64.
Even if you did clear it out. You wouldn't be able to use that storage for anything as it is not a user access able storage area
Another pic:
The first time when I passed CCleaner in the storage analysis section of that app it pointed out just something more than 2 GB of system data ... however as I said before the effective taken storage showed by Device care was still nearly 50GB.
Also there is discrepancy with the "Files" app from Google. This latter just point point out to 14.46 GB used out of 512 GB.

50gb out of 512 sounds about right for a samsung device. I wouldnt trust CCleaner. Also without root no app will be able to even read anything on the system partition properly.
The system is broken up into like 20 different partitions.
To be honest I wouldnt worry about it and here is why. Even if you cleared it out and made it empty you still would not be able to use that space as it is for app data only. Which samsung encludes alot of.
Ok, thank you very much for you help Solitarios.lupus
