Help Can't write files through apps or direct link

[asuraichermit]

So for at least a day now I've been having issues with my Android. First I tried to download a new app, but it was taking far longer than it should've, 20 minutes for a less than 1 GB app, and kept failing and restarting. I gave up and tried downloading some updates, all took longer than they should've and some failed completely. I also have at least one app that won't start (An offline podcast app) and I've tried transferring music to my system both through a direct link and through Google Drive, both of which failed due to file write permission errors.

I'm not sure what could've triggered these issues, as I haven't been fiddling with system settings or doing anything questionable. My best guess is that an update to a core system app is broken. I am running the most recent updates for the system to my knowledge.

I tried restarting my phone, nothing. I tried clearing my app cache, nothing. I tried reinstalling problematic apps, nothing. My phone's storage has a good amount of space left on both the hard drive and the sd card. The issue appears to be that all attempts to write files are not working. I can't find any help on this topic as all attempts give results pertaining to programming issues. (Maybe I'm being too technical with my wording?)

Anybody know how to fix this? Please?

Clear cache on the phone. You can also try a factory reset

If a factory reset doesn't work, you can always just reinstall the updated Moto firmwares but just bee sure which one you have (In Settings-AboutPhone) you'll see a number beginning with 'NCRS' get the exact same FW for your device/Carrier from here: https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/perry/official/
