[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] zardak:
Is not normal... Never got ext. SD Card unmounted or remove notification in 4 months of use. My advice was to try with another SD Card but you already done this!

Try clean the SD Card socket (blow on it) and push and pop some times the card, just to be sure that there isn't some dirt that make false contact.

If the problem persist i'd suggest to bring at garancy assistence.

Mine takes much time too... it takes more time to turn off that turn on, but after an half minute it vibrate and turn off itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
I just tried using air pressure to clear out any dirt and no improvements thus far.

Main problems:

Camera works 50% of the time.

SD Card reader randomly claims 'unexpectedly unmounted'.

USB storage randomly stops successfully connecting.

My question now:

I feel like my particular Galaxy Player is a Lemon. What is the manufacture's warranty for this if I bought it from Samsung? What are the chances of me exchanging it or getting it refurbished or w/e after all this modding? (shot in the dark lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Mevordel:
Flash back to stock and they'll never know.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Lol, stock is KPL right?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Awesome, then I'll stick to KPL for now. Oddly enough I have this setup:

ROM: KPL

Kernel: Remirand's r14

Launcher: Xperia (i can't help it!)

And so far the only persistent issue is the SD Card "unexpectedly removed" and the occasional need for a hard boot. Hopefully this is the worst of it, aside from the minor nuisance . I think my device will always have those.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Hits da Bong:
similar problems

I have similar SD card problems. I use it primarily as a music player, and at random intervals I'll get messages in the stock music app saying either "This file does not exist", or "This file type is not recognized."

Typically, I have to remove and remount the SD card, sometimes several times, to clear the error.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
Ya my problems are all still persisting an really bad now.. Going to send device to samsung through warranty. This is definitely a hardware issue and i cant fix it!
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Hits da Bong:
Yeah, I gave up on it. Returning it to Amazon today.

I'm testing out my Galaxy Tab as a music player...seems to work OK so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] :
If only I had these problems within the first 30 days, then I could return it easy to Amazon as well. Hopefully I have success with Samsung Warranty. One annoying thing is I have only 10 days to make sure the device arrives at their site before my claim ticket is canceled so I have to wait to create a new ticket to use it. Such a hassle.

[Q] What is this huge inaccessible "system data" chunk on my internal storage?

Note: I am NOT referring to the /system directory. I'm referring to a section of memory on my internal storage literally labeled "System data". See the first attached screenshot.

I noticed earlier today that I have way less space remaining than I should. I used DiskUsage to look at my internal memory, and a ~3GB chunk of it is taken up by something labeled "System data". It doesn't let me view this data and I can't figure out where/what it is. It's always listed as "other" when I view the used space in Solid Explorer or Airdroid. What is this space, and how can I reclaim it? My storage numbers also don't add up.

Stock rooted 4.2.1, 16GB.

Edit: I think it might be due (for the most part, at least) to CWM backups. As stated in ROM Manager: "In Android 4.2, backups are placed in secure directory, inaccessible to other apps." This was also speculated in a few other threads I found.

Edit 2: I deleted one of my 2 backups and the space used by "system data" was cut nearly in half, so I'm pretty sure it is the backups. However, the space used is not exactly the same as the size of the remaining backup, so maybe there are a couple other smaller things contributing to it as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testraindrop:
Well the name of it is usually a hint... its the "System data" of your Android System.

You get it back when you delete it...

Unfortunately the phone wont boot anymore because it wont have a system on it...:rolleyes:

No idea why you have 3 GBs, CM10.1 only has 0.5GB, I guess you use stock.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thevoiceless:
I was under the impression that system data was stored on the other ~3GB that I don't have access to (16GB - 12.96GB out of the box).

Are you saying that I'm now losing more space to stuff I have no control over? And if so, is there a way to figure out what is using so much space?

And yes, I said in my post that I'm running stock rooted 4.2.1

Edit:

Assuming that Ivan Volosyuk's (the developer of DiskUsage) post in 2010 is still correct...

I emailed him to see if that is still the case.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Testraindrop:
16GB is unformatted storage. (Usually counted with 1000 bytes =1kbyte.)

You will loose storage for formatting (1024B=1kB), then there is the system.

That is also counted in the "16GB".

the system also needs some more space for cache etc.

With root you can view it, see the attachment for what I have there.

As you said you have root, why can't you view it?

I guess I may have misunderstood you in the first place...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thevoiceless:
Yes, you have misunderstood me. Look at the DiskUsage screenshot I posted in my original post. I'm not referring to the /system directory, I'm referring to some directory called System data that shows up on my internal storage, but it only shows up in DiskUsage. The space is shown as used in file browsers (such as Solid Explorer), but I'm unable to view what is actually taking up the space.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thevoiceless:
That's definitely a large part of it. I just deleted one of my two backups and the "system data" space was cut in half. It's still not exactly the same size as the remaining backup, but perhaps there's some other stuff in there as well.

Thanks for the reply.

yeah i got installed some biggest games up to 45mb but they are in the ext partition with their dalvik and libs apps bigguest than 4mb on sd and i alredy done a cleanup of stock apps and provider apps, i tested many apps and later uninstall it and clean with sd maid, but I'm newbie and i dont know if some files still keep in memory after that or if this "System data" is like an recycle bin or something like that.

look in the android folder in your storage, it has a data and obb folder. thats where your "system data" is. you can look and see what it contains. for me it has some of my big game data, my music that i store on the phone for google play music, and other such stuff :)

I clean cache 1 or 2 times a day for the same reason no empty space and the cache & data partition share this free memory for sure because always have the same amount and only are 15 to 20mb, the android folder is in \HWUserData\Android and \sdcard\Android both have the same files custom.dat, data folder and inside this 3 apps folder com.cooliris.media(52kb), com.google.android.apps.maps(1.07mb), com.google.android.apps.translate(24kb) and a file .nomedia.

I'm not on N4 but on GNex and seem to have the same problem as OP. What I noticed is that the inaccessible "system data" size has increased after making a cwm backup. From what I can see it's not related to my Android folder as this one has only 800-something megabytes. And the system data has 4gb. It is nowhere to be seen from any file manager. It's as if 4gb were completely cut off from my storage. It's not apps, not media, nothing I checked. Tried freeing up cache partition and dalvik from cwm but it didn't work.

And as I said it's size seems to have increased after a nandroid backup.

Is there anything I can do to get at least a bit of it back?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlogank:
All my pictures, Titanium Backups, etc are on this card, but I cannot find them. I flashed a ROM and did a factory reset, but for some reason it only backed up some old files in the 0 folder in my internal storage. That folder was actually one level down from the root-below the card's default storage spot, so not sure how it happened. When the OS loaded up and I saw everything was gone, I had a tiny heart attack. Couldn't find it with Solid Explorer, but saw that there was only 3GB of space left on the internal card, and this was a clean flash with literally no apps installed or data on the internal storage card. I knew my data must be somewhere on it! I installed Disk Usage and sure enough, there was a huge amount of data in a System folder. Can anyone help me? I know the stuff is there, just not sure how to get to it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddy4823:
Did you find a solution ? I'm facing the same issue.

Use a file manager with root explorer capabilities.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlogank:
Do not touch the 0 folder! That's all your data.

Honestly, if you don't know how to do it & what you can delete, your better off leaving it alone. I don't want to feel responsible for you deleting something important. I would just save your data to a computer or cloud, & do a clean flash. Otherwise, just leave the data as is & move the files you were missing.

Hi,

I had the same problem, but my System Data sector expanded to like 7 GB, on a 16 GB Nexus 4.

I rebooted into CWM Recovery and cleared cache, dalwik cache, formated the cache and data partitions and the junk disappeared.

CM, and something about 100 apps are now taking up about 1 GB.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexbk66:
As I understand, newer Android version (JellyBean?) is multiuser, so after upgrade it moves everything from root of SD card to 0 folder (User 0). At least what happened to me...

I have the same issue with "System Data Folder", and I think I'm the 'winner' here - 16GB, see screenshot. So really interested in resolving this issue.

I suspect that it is used by recovery, as I did quite a few TWRP backups, then deleted backups from TWRP\BACKUPS folder, but System Data is still 16 GB :confused:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alokin:
System Data huge size (SOLVED)

If you have a huge System Data place on your sdcard that you don't have permissions to access and you dont know what content is in it try this.

1. Download System Cleanup app from google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SystemCleanup.Inteks.org&hl=en

2. Use the clean option in the app to scan the phone or tablet.

3. Press and hold on the screen and select clean all apps.

4. After that use Disc Usage to scan the storage and you will see that the System Data is now decreased.

5. After this you will have a folder named System .Cleanup_Backups, this folder is hidden.

6. Click on it and open it with Solid Explorer. If you cant open it try to enable show hidden files on Solid Explorer. Here are all the files that were in the System Data.

7. You can delete them all. Those are files or data from the games or apps that you have used and even if there are files for games and data that you are still using you can delete them to. If you are not sure you can try first to delete one file from there and try to run that app or game again you will see that nothing is lost.

---- Now you will have a lot of free space. -----
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Argon0:
I have this exact problem, but with external_sd (or storage card as DiskUsage has it). Nothing I do, short of formatting the card in a windows machine (or possibly via aparted) seems to be able to free this space up again. The size of System data grows MOST times I delete a file (though not airways)... Any of you bright people got anything for me to try?

This is on an rk802iv running 4.2.2

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deadjinn:
I see this post is a little old, but I just ran into this problem and I was able to fix it.

I used Es File Explorer with root access to check out some system folders and see which ones were taking up the most space. It turned out that my data/media folder was taking up over 6GB. When I was going through the contents of that folder, I realized that everything in there seemed to be from apps I had BEFORE I "wiped" my phone and installed KitKat. I did some Googling, and according to "TeamWin" it's a known issue when upgrading from Android 4.2.

I took a shot in the dark and deleted all of the contents of the data/media folder. All of my apps crashed, but when I restarted everything worked good as new, and I no longer have a massive system data chunk taking up space in my internal storage.

Also, is it secure to wipe data factory / cache partition with a2 bootstrap?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Maribou:
I'm not to sure about the wipe with bootstrap. I know with a custom ROM it is not recommended. Maybe one of the senior members can help us out with this question.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
Yes it is perfectly safe and recommended to wipe data, cache and dalvik if you are flashing a new ROM, to do it from some type of CWM recovery (which bootstrap is). I would not do that if you are having a problem though. I would instead do a factory data reset from the system settings. If you can not get into that, then I would just fxz back, to stock 4.0.4, which will wipe everything anyhow.
[Motorola Atrix 2] crjs:
Ok, so there is no risk of reflashing the fxz of 4.0.4 again when Im rooted?

Root stays in new flash or is lost?

Btw, I wiped cache partition and Dalvik with a2 bootstrap and no problem with that, I haven't wiped data factory yet. (Oficial stock 4.0.4)
[Motorola Atrix 2] DemosZevasa:
You lose root cause fxz wipes EVERYTHING the reflashes. It is completely safe as long as you don't interrupt the process. Make sure you charge your battery to be safe.

Hey, i'm using Google Play Cloud (?) on my Nexus 7. I uploaded some songs from my computer to Google Play Music (where you can save online 20.000 songs for free) so i have the songs in my library on my Nexus 7. But when i try to play a song it works well, but only the album cover is not very sharp (see image). I bought all the songs from iTunes and uploaded them via the Music Manager to my Google Play Music library.

So why are the album covers so blurred/pixelated ? Covers from iTunes Store songs are always in high resolution so why aren't they sharp on my device?

[Nexus 7 General] vlx600d:
ITunes isn't uploading your album art, its matching what you have to stuff on their servers. play music (until very recently) was actually uploading your files to their cloud. So if your music files have lower quality image files then that's what you got. Now that music is matching instead of actually uploading I suspect this will improve but I doubt it will have a retroactive effect...
