I’ve got a phone (Samsung GT-I9000) running android 2.2.1. Saving to shared preferences fails:

Editor editor = ...;
if (!editor.commit()) {
    Log.e(TAG, "Nope!");
}

I can see it spits out the related following log statement:

12-10 14:06:03.919: E/ApplicationContext(4684): 
    Couldn't rename file
    /dbdata/databases/com.me.myapp/shared_prefs/com.me.prefs.xml to backup file
    /dbdata/databases/com.me.myapp/shared_prefs/com.me.prefs.xml.bak
12-10 14:06:03.919: E/MyApp(200): Nope!

Any idea how I can fix this? This is extremely frustrating.

Thanks

    if you using a samsung galaxy S device from 2.2 to 2.2.1 .then we look at the path as in log its trying to save to… "/dbdata/databases/xx.xx.xx/shared_prefs/com.me.prefs.xml" rather than "/data/databases/com.me.myapp/shared_prefs/com.me.prefs.xml". It is a problem on Samsung devices.

    you can following issue posted by dustin in Android current open issues list :
