Call Recorder Woes

Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), Android 4.4.2.

I installed one of the many similar call recorder apps on my phone. It allowed me to save calls to the SD card, which is a feature I rather liked.

I wanted to try a different call recorder, so I uninstalled the one I had as having more than one of these apps on the phone at the same time is apparently not a good idea. Before uninstalling I backed up the app using Super Backup.

The new call recorder I tried wasn't as good, so I uninstalled it and restored the original one using Super Backup. It worked fine, as before.

After doing this a few times, to try out different call recorder apps each time, the original app refused to restore and I got insufficient storage messages. I also tried reinstalling from the Google Play Store, but that didn't work either.

In the meantime I have tried a few more call recorder apps (they installed fine so storage space not a problem), but now, when I select storage to the external SD card, the apps don't record anything. If I switch to the internal storage they work fine.

Obviously something in my phone has changed as a result of the various call recorder installs/uninstalls, but I can't figure out what it is. I've tried restarting, clearing caches, etc., but nothing so far has helped.

Any ideas?
 
Hi,

I believe you installing/uninstalling/switching apps is just a coincidence of what is occurring. If you are getting insufficient space notifications then you are most likely running out of space somehow on your SD card. The fact that everything works fine when installed on your phone says it all. I would download the app Storage Analyzer which will break-down exactly what space is going where. If you are 100% certain it is not running out of space you may have a corrupt SD card or possibly going bad and the phone/apps think there is not enough space. So, double check the space with that app and let me know what you find.


Hopefully this was helpful and you are able to solve your problem!
