Android Central Question
Hi, new to this site. I just need help with an issue I keep having. I'll try my best to explain, since I'm not great at it.
So, my phone is an LG Stylo 5 and currently runs Android 9.
I had it since December of 2020, and it's been working fine. However, recently it's been giving me a range of problems and headaches, for some reason it's related to my files.
1. I would be on Google Chrome and I download an image/file. Once it's downloaded, it kicks me out of Chrome. Then when I look in apps, the file won't be there (Yet when I try to download it again, my phone says it's still there). There's a weird delay where the image would suddenly appear after a few days. Apparently, it's not just Chrome, it's any software I would download images from.
2. When I try to upload files onto apps, such as Twitter and Discord, nothing would appear. If I stay on the upload page for too long, I would get "[App] isn't Responding" page. Although sometimes when I upload from my gallery app, it would just take a while to load up images. Sometimes on apps, when I am able to upload an image, it kicks me out and doesn't upload.
3. When I go to look at my files (Ex. Google Files app, my Gallery), nothing would show up either.
However, this problem would only happen temporarily, ranging from several minutes to hours, then it's suddenly working again (Only for it to happen again later on).
Yes, I have tried clearing cache and force stopping some apps, but it doesn't really help that much. I have tried restarting too, which yes sometimes work, but the problem would just still happen again.
I don't use any anti-virus/app cleaning software except for SD Card Maid.
I think it's just an issue with Android phones in general, since I had this same exact problem with my old phone (Which is a Samsung J2 Pro). Googling this issue brings up nothing, so that's why I came onto here.
I just want some answers and solutions, please and thanks.
