Hello forum,
So I've updated to the latested version the other week and enabled encryption on my SD card then put songs on the SD card.
Now my battery went from 100% - 18% in a matter of hours ...
The media process is the cause of the issue from what I can see and the media server.
Any ideas here ?
Cleared chrome cache and stopped download manager process no luck so far
Just cleared the thumbnail cache and any cache that could be cleared apart from processes due to the android 6 limitation.
Been reading about chrome being the issue so I've disabled it and have installed the beta version
Ended up wiping my SD card in the end.
As I enabled encryption when I had some data on the SD card thought that could play some issues.
Formatted the card and encryption was already enabled and seems to be working much better now.

Hello all!
<Story>
I recently noticed that I was receiving a ton of Force Close messages on my HD2 and decided to restart the device (which I hadn't done in a while:laugh. When the device started back up, I realized the apps that were reported to have force closed, hadn't actually crashed.
Then I noticed that K9 mail was going crazy, showing the "updating" notification every half second on each account. When I decided to read my mail, it seemed as if they were all from the previous day, showing up as unread! Then I went to open the new version of Firefox, which I had just read about and installed ... but it was nowhere to be found.
Since I was sitting next to my computer at the time, I quickly looked up some stuff on xda and saw people were recommending CatLog, which I immediately installed. Upon attempting to open the application, I was met by a barrage of force closes including system and Trebuchet.
Panicking, I pulled the battery, cleared the Dalvik cache and fixed permissions, which unusually, completed instantaneously. I attempted to reinstall Amarullz's a2sd script but after copying it from my computer to the SD and booting to Recovery, I never saw the file I was looking for. Trying this process a couple more times, I honestly questioned my sanity but then speculated senility ... I DID just copy that file, didn't I?

Apologies for making you read that, but I pushed the problem aside and used my phone for two more days (it was painful) before finally writing this.
EDIT: RELEVANT STUFF BELOW, STORY ABOVE
I did some testing and it seems like my SD card is somehow bugged but nothing really confirms it, diskcheck says everything is fine. Windows explorer doesn't complain while copying. And files that are copied DO work until the card is ejected, at which point it reverts back to the prior state :/
EDIT 2:
downloaded TeraCopy and verified my copied data (see screenshots)
Funny thing is that the data copied is NOT the same - the checksum indicates corruption, but when I tried it again, the checksums were the same! When I open the video files, music I had copied onto the card a week earlier began playing!
Is this thing read-only? The card is not full, neither is it a fake.
Formatting the card in Windows 7 causes a "windows was unable to complete the format" error when 2/3 complete (not quick format)
Even though it seems that it was mostly formatted, the data is still intact. Quite odd.
microSD Card Details:
Manufacturer: Apacer
Size: 16GB
Partitions: 2: FAT32 and ext3
TL;DR: ???Read-only??? microSD card but not sure: no errors while writing data, no errors reported by diskcheck, no corrupt data.
Same thing happened last week
I had the same thing last week with a 16GB SanDisk in my Nexus One running CM7.2. It started with a couple of force closes, then after a reboot just about every application (over 100 on sd-ext with S2E) force closed and the system became unusable. Tried various things and eventually found out that I could write to the card without any error, the files seemed to be there but were gone when I reinserted the card. Even deleting a partition from gparted on Linux showed no error but the partition was still there. The card is 18 months old, I sent it in under warranty.
Today my 32gb sd card stopped working on me and now when i try download and install apps all i get is not enough space yet i have 6gb internal memory.
I tried downloading apps of google chrome on the phone and installing that way but says the same thing,
The phone kept unmounting and mounting my sd card untill it didnt work..
I really dont know what to do, ive searched on the internet and everything and nothing seems to help.
I think you the sd card is either corrupted or removed unexpectedly (without unmounting)
Is your card readable when connected to PC or laptop? If yes this could be a minor problem. Switch off your phone, remove your sd card and re insert it.
Hope it may fix the problem.
Regarding space, the core apps and system UI will consume some hidden space even though you have space left over. Clear all cache, history and offline data, It will buy you space.
I have ARHD 7.3 installed and keep getting the storage is low notification constantly. This must be the system storage but I don't know how to check it.
I have nearly 400MB free from the 1.15GB user data partition
SD has 6GB free
Every app that can be moved to SD has been moved
Disabled the built in mail app as I read that it stores emails in the system partition
Uninstalled dropbox and facebook app
The only thing that seemed to help was to go to Storage and select the 2nd Make more space option and clear the "Temporary files from HTC apps" (currently 7.02GB). The problem with that is:
TuneIn radio app stops working with "System Audio" error message
Skype stops working properly too
If you do a 4ext/nandroid backup and reflash, the problems go away but then come back as soon as you restore the backup you took
Don't what else to try. Help!
The way I see it, low internal memory is a hardware limitation. Considering this is a 5 year old phone, there is little that can be done especially as newer apps are more bloated. The problem is even worse if you are using Kitkat/Lollipop based ROMs since the OS itself takes up a lot of space.
One workaround which you can try if you can manage to get a high speed SD card (UHS-I) is to increase the data partition size. Check this mod for more details http://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-sensation/development/mod-turbo-data-8gb-data-partition-t3036742 . I myself am waiting for a new card to prolong my phone's lifespan.
Hi guys, I have a situation with my moto g, I have the 8gb version since one week, I've installed a 128gb sdcard on the phone formated as internal storage... During a few days I've no problem with performance at all.... Then yesterday I decided to encrypt my phone and today I loaded 60gb an data, music, photos and videos.
Since then my phone is struggling from time to time to do simple tasks like opening an app or dragging the status bar down... Is nothing like that happens always or with the same apps.... Is random, sometimes I just wanna to unlock the phone and it takes like minutes for the keyboard to come up.
Anyone with an idea of what this might be? Was it the encryption? Should I give the phone time to index all the data?
I know it's not a problem from the SD card, because it's the fastest sandisk that I could get.
Since you asked in the form of a question, I will give you the best answer I can based on your specific questions...
This is probably a multitude of issues... first, setting up your SD card as internal storage will typically show down performance, although sometimes not noticably. Second, you encrypted internal storage (your SD card) this slows down your system as well. Third, you loaded 60GB of data, music, photos, and videos, which will take a VERY long time to index and put into the Storage and Media databases, and there databases also reside on the internal storage, which access to has been slowed down significantly due to being on an SD card and encrypted. These 3 things combined will likely give extremely poor performance, for a time at least.
My first question would be how long has it been since you loaded that 60GB of data? On an idle device it would take several hours (maybe days) to index it all and update the databases...
Thanks, I might have precipitated myself in thinking that something was wrong, yet today the phone locked it self a few times, one time the process system stopped responding... I will wait until tomorrow if the problem persists I will try deleting the biggest folder ( music 40gb) and if I see some improvement I will add the music in steps.
I'm pretty sure it was the encryption. My phone, with a similar setup (1GB/8GB phone, 64GB SD as internal storage, reasonable amount of media) also showed a gigantic speed loss when I foolishly enabled encryption. I tried to work with it for some days until it became clear the situation wouldn't get any better. After a factory reset, formatting the SD again as internal and copying the media again, the phone feels even faster than it was out of the box.
I've also my phone encrypted for quite a few months now (did this already on lollipop), with actually no real complaints. However since a few days I've noticed huge performance hits as well. I'm also considering a factory reset...
Thanks for all inputs , I have restored the phone without encryption and everything runs smoothly again.
Hi there !
Has anyone experienced this issue?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-20-pro/help/write-to-sd-card-emui-10-t4017037
When I first got my P30, I restored a backup I had on my Galaxy S7 and everything seemed to work fine.
I had set up some 3rd party apps to have access and store things to the Nano Memory card.
For example Pocket to save its downloaded articles to the external card, Flud to store downloads on the memory card, etc.
I was also storing some Nova Launcher backups to the memory card.
The memory card is an original and quite expensive Huawei 128GB NM card.
Two days ago all of a sudden MixPlorer could not copy files from internal storage to the NM card.
Nova Launcher could not access the card either.
Every single 3rd part app could not have access.
Only Huawei apps (and I think Google apps, too) can have access. Huawei Files manager has no issue moving / copying files from internal to the memory card, the Camera app can save photos to the memory card just fine and I think Google News can save articles to the memory card.
Also, plugging P30 via USB to my Windows PC and using Huawei HiSuite has no issues. This way the NM card is accessible.
Yesterday morning I formatted the NM card (via the phone) and then I also did a factory reset to the phone and set it up again from scratch !
I also removed the card to clean it and then inserted it again to the phone sim/nm tray.
These steps did not fix the issue !
Now this might have been a coincidence but in the afternoon I realized that Google backup was stuck to "waiting to backup" so I used ADB commands to fix this known bug. I followed these instructions: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-8/how-to/guide-google-backup-waiting-to-backup-t3895101
After that - it might be a coincidence, though - I could write to the NM card ! It seemed that the issue was resolved. Somehow 3rd party apps could have write access permission to the NM card !
I was happy, but today when I woke up the problem had resurfaced !
I tried installing every single Root Explorer there is in the Play Store, but none worked. I also tried with like other 5 File Explorers to see if they could re-enable access to write to the NM card, but nothing worked.
I have enabled Developers options & then enabled "Force allow apps on external storage" but this does not solve the problem, either.
Any ideas what could be happening here ?
Could this be a bug with EMUI 10 and the write permissions to the external storage ?
I'm thinking that if this was a corrupted NM card issue, then neither Huawei Files manager, or Camera app, etc would be able to write on the card, right ?
Any help would be appreciated !
