Has anyone been getting this error message on their phone? I've been getting it the past few weeks and I have no idea what it is . It comes up at random, is never constant, and doesn't stay on the screen for more than a few seconds.

Try using Nice Catch (from the Galaxy Store) or Toast Source (from the Play Store) to figure out which app is giving you that notification.

I was really hoping it was an app that I hardly use and I could get rid of it,, but I use Home Up lol.. Should I uninstall and reinstall to see if that will help ?

I'm still trying to figure out what "Deleted the exceeded file" means. Does it mean that there was a file that exceeded the storage limit? That wouldn't make sense, since nothing could be stored beyond a storage limit. Does it mean there was an app shortcut icon that was deleted because it exceeded some sort of limit that can be displayed on the homescreen?

I went to turn it off and the deleted message came up and a message about back up. I'll do a force close and restart the whole phone to see if the message comes up again.

Thanks again guys.
