Yesterday I decided to do a complete wipe of my phone and restore the latest backup I had using TWRP because I was having issues with connecting to the 4G network. The restore fixed the issue, but now I'm having problems with select apps. I'm running OA6 stock and it appears my apps don't have permission to write to internal memory. I can't save pics from Facebook, for example, to my phone.
If anyone has a clue how I could fix this, I'd appreciate the help! From what I can tell, my internal memory is read only.
Internal storage is indeed read only, and appears to be why my apps can't write internally. Anyone know how to fix the permissions?

I just updated to JH7 using samsung kies and now I can't download any apps from the market. The phone is completely stock since I used Odin to flash it before the JH7 update. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Had that problem before the update... Unmounted the internal SD Card, then formatted it.. wipe my music, but I was able to reload it... That fixed the whole thing... You might also try going into recovery mode and clearing the cache....
Did you use titanium backup?
I used titanium backup a while back before the Odin master clear and flash to stock stock firmware.
Just removed my sd card and downloads work again. I guess the titanium backups that I had on the sd card is causing the problem.
It seems to stop working again after I downloaded quick settings. Can't download even after reformating the sd card and taking it out. Also I can't get the e-mail app to work. It shows "checking incoming server settings" then shows the message "unable to open connection to server. Tried it with wifi and 3g.
I think this has been answered several times over the last few days. Basics are to not let ti restore anything system related, only your apps and data.
That fixes the market problem, no idea on the email but id start with that.

I didn't use titanium backup to restore anything. Just used it to uninstall the bloatware before I flashed it back to stock with Odin. So how do I fix it?
I've been having a problem as of late and I was hoping maybe someone could offer some explanation, advice, etc.
Last Friday, after a full wipe, I flashed Liquid Gingerbread 3.0 after running 2.6 forever. I use My Backup Pro to backup and restore app data. I do not use it for anything else (no system data, etc.). I installed all my Apps from apks I had, then restored app data with My Backup Pro.
I then proceeded to move apps to sd with Apps2sd like I usually do. Everything seemed to be okay until I noticed a while later that apps moved to the card started disappearing, but the app data was remaining on the sd and the coms were still listed as installed. I uninstalled Apps2sd and reinstalled the apps, noticing that large apps (10 + mb) were installing directly to the sd. I checked the settings and made sure internal was set for app installations and tried again. Large apps were still installing directly to the sd.
Thinking that maybe I didn't wipe properly (lol) I did another full wipe (system, data, cache, davlik) and reflashed LGB 3.0. I did the same process as above with installing and restoring app data. I rebooted my phone to find that large Apps were still installing directly to the sd, and still disappearing and still leaving behind data on the sd.
I thought it was a ROM issue at this point so I did another full wipe and flashed iBolt 0.9. Still having the same problem so I know it's my phone.
I have a few ideas of what is happening but I don't know how to fix it. Is there something on my sd card that is affecting the way apps are installed? Is there a cm7 setting I'm missing somewhere that is affecting it? Are my wipes somehow leaving behind remnants? I know this is long but I was trying to be as specific as possible in hopes of some feedback. If someone has any ideas as to what is happening I'll try anything to see if it fixes it.
My apologies if there is a thread about this already here but Tapatalk search is seriously lacking.

Hi, I am using Samsung Galaxy 3 (i5801) from past 2 years. Recently I am started experiencing memory bloat issue. I have only 30 apps installed and still I have only 20MB internal memory left. I tried clearing all unnecessary data from Application section in Settings. I also moved few apps to SD card. Still there is not increase in free internal memory. Due to this my phone's performance has drastically reduced and m quite frustrated with it
I am thinking to do a factory reset now to get back my internal memory. Can anyone suggest how much will this help in resolving the issue. Also can anyone tell me what data I will lose if I go for a factory reset. Will I lose all the apps (including Google Play, YouTube, Calculator,All Share, etc which came pre installed when I bought the phone)???
Kindly let me know if any other way exists to resolve my problem.
Thanks in advance....
Some info about factory reset...
Factory reset erases only /data and /cache - any data you stored, any apps you installed, any settings you configured WILL BE LOST.
SYSTEM apps will stay as they were.
Also, If you upgraded from 2.1 to 2.2, you will still have 2.2 installed because /system folder doesn't get deleted when doing factory reset.
If you rooted the phone, root will STAY too.
I don't know if you're rooted, probably not as if you were, you will NOT be facing those problems
When you are rooted, you can try eg. Link2SD app (download from the play store) and move teoretically EVERY app to the sdcard.
And as I'm not an expert with this app moving stuff, maybe some other geek can help you out with this
EDIT: I updated TWRP, wiped everything (including data/media) and restored a backup. I was able to get a successful backup. However, apps still crashing randomly. Does anyone know how to check for memory errors and repartition to use only good space?
Original Q:
I have installed Markox89 Dhollmann (sp?) ROM clean and bare (only Google play) and it's crashing. I am now also unable to do a nandroid backup in TWRP. I'm thinking I might have corrupted hardware. Does anyone know how to check/diagnose issues like this? It's not just my external SD card. I can't backup to internal SD card either.
I think I have a 2 year warranty that's almost expired (a quick point to instructions for returning to stock for return would be welcome).
