Hi! I'm a newbie in this forum. I need help on my samsung galaxy S2. It have problems and I don't know what to do.
The problems:
-Can't capture screenshot(s) and says storage is full, but there is 3,4 gb unused
-can't capture photo(s) and says storage is full, seems same case with the first one
-can't open samsung/stock gallery app, which also says the same thing
-can't make new folder in samsung/stock file explorer, and says "folder creation failed."
-can't make any new file/ edit files (rename, delete, move only works as copy, and edit file in app like microsoft word)
-mostly the problem is in usb storage.
I wanted to screenshot the problems but I can't. It seems like my usb storage is locked by itself or whatever I don't know because I'm not that good at technology.
Okay, I searched google and gets similiar like mine (problem) but I don't find it solves. And note that I rooted my phone about 6 months. Thank you! Please reply asap because I use my phone for business.

Hi there! This will be my first thread at XDA.
I've just upgraded my HTC Sensation from stock to InsertCoin 6.0.0, and also installed the Beats Audio media player.
While I removed my SD card, inserted it into my PC, and copied 274 mp3 tracks to it, the standard music player couldn't play any of the songs. Also, the Photo Gallery wasn't able to find new pictures anymore.
People told me that my SD card was bad, which I found a little bit strange. The app "File Manager" was flawlessly able to find all of the pictures, and also the music, which actually could be played by the HTC music player by the app itself. I think this is caused by a bug or something, so I found out the fix myself:
1. Download a file browser app like "File manager" or "ES File Explorer"
2. Delete the folder /sdcard/music (or format the SD card, but make sure to backup the content you wish to keep!)
3. Create a new folder called "Music" at the root of your SD card
4. Get the app "Wifi File Explorer" from Google Play
5. Activate the WiFi (All Apps > Settings > Wireless & Networks > WiFi for older phones)
6. Open the browser and insert the URL shown by the app
7. Upload a file, open the music app, and see if it plays. If it works: zip all the songs, send them to the phone, and unzip them by clicking "unzip" next to the folder in the browser.
If it doesn't, I'm afraid you'll have to format your SD card. (All apps > Settings > Storage > Unmount SD card, and then Delete (Format) SD card)
Hope it'll help someone out there! Cheers
Edit: To avoid that this will happen again, connect your phone to the PC using a USB cable by the next time.
Edit #2: USB file transfer results exactly the same. I strongly recommend using Wifi File Explorer (or similar) to transfer desired data files between the PC and smartphone.
Playing music issues
Helou.
My GF reached your post looking for a solution to the same problem you had. Then she contacted me. In case you are still having this problem, is rather simply caused by a lack of trigger of the media scan. Every time you copy a media file to your phone's memory, it should trigger this action, but sometimes it doesnt happens (dont ask me why, it should). In fact, the solution you give is that the Wifi Explorer app correctly triggers the media scan. You can save precious minutes by just installing this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascanner
And run it every time you copy/move files around from your pc to your phone.
If it helped, then update your thread with the solution, you never know when someone is looking for the same problem (then again, is one month old, maybe you're no longer here)
It worked for me.
I know this is an old thread and I didn't see where anyone noted that the solution worked. I have an HTC Incredible that was flaking out on me. The issue stated in this thread came up when I was reloading my music onto my SD card. I came across this forum and looked up the app recommended and it solved the problem. I am thankful for people out there who know what they are doing.
Hey there,
I have a Note 10.1 and use it to take down my lecture notes from university.
Ive had no problems with it all semester until this week when I sit down to do my revision all my S note files are blacked out and when I open them I am greeted with the 'error occurred' message, so basically I have lost a whole semesters worth of work (besides this weeks) thanks to the corruption of this data. I do have a 64 gb SD card mounted but my S note files have never been anywhere but in the S Note folder on the system memory I have already tried to change their extensions on my PC with little success.
So the question after my rant is are there any ways to sort this out so I can do some f'in revision?
Many thanks,
Adam

So trying to find how to fix a corrupt snb file is a pain in the butt! I lost my school notes for the semester as well, and we're in finals week now. It's an absolute must I have them, so I feel your pain.
I found out that if you change the file extension from .snb to .zip you can view what is in the file itself. Now a zip should open on any computer, but if it doesn't, it means your snb file is corrupt. The way it became corrupt is your snb was probably open in s-note while you restarted or updated something. Because it didn't close and save properly, it corrupted the file.
Step 0. Move the snb from your device to a pc.
Step 1. Change the file extension from snb to zip.
Step 2. Find a zip repair program THAT WON'T STUFF A BUNCH OF MALWARE into your computer.
Step 3. Run the damaged zip through to repair it.
Step 4. Try to open the repaired file as a zip. If it opens, whatever was corrupting it is now gone.
Step 5. Change back the file extension to snb. (now if it doesn't change back at first, it might be because when you initially changed it to a zip, the file extension became hidden because zips are recognizable to pc's. You'll have to change the viewing options in order to make the file extension visible, and therefore, editable)
Step 6. Put it back into your tab-phone-blet-whichever to test it out.
Step 7. Hope and pray that since it worked for me, it'll work for you.
Good luck!
S-Note Blank Pages
I tried this without success. The snd opened fine as a zip. Everything was still blank though.
This topic came up on another forum, and at least in my case and another's, the problem happened after adding an image to a page.
In my case, it was adding an image on the S-Note Diary template--lost 39 pages.
A previous notebook was saved using the "Note" template without trouble. I even added images, but manually, not into placeholders as with the Diary template.
Seems pretty clear there's a bug in the S-Note app that Samsung needs to fix. Until I hear of a fix, I'm staying away from the templates that include places for images. Too much work wasted... I normally backup regularly, but hadn't yet with this 39 page batch...
Hi, I lost my s note files due to custom binary frp locked and I did a factory data reset when I tried to recover the back up files that I had on my pc thru recuva it doesnt open my s note files it says invalid file format and file might be moved, deleted, or renamed. Is there any chance to open it back?
Hello, some of you may noticed it. There is a new section in Samsung's file manager software. It's a list of all accessed files "timeline"
How can I disable that? Or at least delete it contents from time to time?
Thanks in advance
Additional information. I guess this only applies to Samsung Galaxy Tab's.
I've got here a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7°
Didn't find anything helpful via Google, so maybe someone here knows about it and can help me/us to disable it (my device isn't rooted if that is important to know)
Regards
Meh
No idea. When I delete all cache files from 'my files', 'gallery' and 'media storage' it also clear temporary this Timeline. But it will only last a few moments.
Any additional ideas where to look at are very welcome
facing the same problem here
cant find any way to disable this new crap function
Hello.
I've been looking recently for one, good camera app, For shooting videos. And Im posting this thread here to ask for an advice /suggestions.
What I am looking for :
-I want to record videos directly to the specified directory. I want to store all videos on my mounted USB drive to my Nexus (most apps dont support it) MOST IMPORTANT!
-I want to record 1080p with the Best quality and framerate possible
-Good focus and manual adjustments, such as white balance.
-App can be either paid or free.
I am running newest CyanogenMod updated every day. If an app will require some custom system mods, thats not a big deal.

Maybe Snap Camera HDR or L Camera can do the job
Omg, I really love the L camera, but wish I could change the save directory... Maybe there is a possibility to change it in the source and the compile it? Idk how to do it
Snap Camera is also awesome, plenty of options there, but I cant make it to work with my USB drive, It says that it is not connected...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.almalence.opencam
Allright, as I noticed, many great apps have some issues with saving to custom directories in Android L, I tried using many apps that allowed me to change the save location, but still, even If I choose any other location that the default one, it shows a message saying something like "save directory change is not avilable in Android 5" or something like this, or it just wont save where I want.
Any fix for that?
BTW I tried some camera apps, and Cinema FV-5 wins so far

How can I do so? I tried using Stickmount, but It kept saying, that mounting services are currently busy.
maybe you can try symbolic links in stickmount :
Code:
(Pro) Create symbolic links
Create symbolic links in /mnt and /storage to the actual mounts in /sdcard/usbStorage/, handy with some file managers and some apps that auto-detect storage locations.
The problem is that stickmount does not want to work. Whenever I try to mount, it says that mounting services are busy, so I cant even use it.
So your hdd isn't mounted at all ? Then of course you can't write to it
Is is mounted, but it works just without the app, I can browse all my files on my OTG, delete, create, rename, read without any problems, and the OTG is mounted by system by itself, as it works in Lolipop without any 3rd party apps, but its in the directory root/storage/usbdisk.
And this directory is visible to all camera apps, but I cant make it to write files there. It says that this location is unwritable, or something other, as I said in one of my older posts there. My OTG cable is also fine, the OTG is fine aswell, so the problem imo is that camera apps dosent have permissions to access this directory.
So your disk is mounted as read only. NTFS file system maybe ?

Nope, its FAT32.
Also, I can write things there via Root Explorer.
And the permissions are rwxrwx--x

anyone?
Whatever the images I'm uploading on to my galaxy watch 4 not showing up in my watch.
I tried EasyFireTool, BugJaeger, AnExplorer(File manager TV USB OTG) and nothing working for me. All I can see is that all the images having 0size like I showed in attachments. And I'm seeing them as unreadable empty images in album app.
I was messing with permissions of files in BugJaeger, at one point I'm able to edit execute permission of one file placed in download folder with BugJaeger and that image showed up in watch..I deleted it. So I'm trying to edit permissions of files but not working now.
Anyone faced this strange issue? can someone help me.
FYi I granted storage permission for all the required apps in Watch.
Are all permissions enabled in Wearables app?
Samsung is a nosey Parker when it comes to that.
