Hy. I have a 32gb sd card but I cannot to put files/games/full apps to it, because the App2SD says that my phone have an emulated SD card. My phone is

NOT rooted

. So how can I move full apps to SD card or delete the emulated SD card and create a normal device storage? And how can I change the primary save. Now it is the emulated SD card (which is only 10 GB) and change to my 32GB sd card?

Hi,

The only way at the moment is to use FOLDERMOUNT

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewis0214:
But it needs root. I do not want to root my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

This is something you will have to take up with Samsung.

It was their decision not to allow apps on the sd card.

Hence, the big argument about the lack of storage on the phone ,because the "16Gb" of space is only "9GB" in reality.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewis0214:
So after I root my phone I can mount my 32GB sd card as default storage and I can move all apps from the emulated SD card to 32GB? And after root I can delete the emulated SD card and change it to device storage but not as SD card? Here is how it is look now (sorry for the Hungarian language):

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guro84:
Hi, i have few questions about S4. I used HTC since G1, and i am now first time with Samsung. I have it for 15 days, and i have some problems.

1. random restart. sometimes when using camera, sometimes just using phone, and sometimes when i am playing plantsVSzombies.

2. overheating. i have situations with overheating when i dont use phone. also, when that happens, battery is draining fast.

3. lag. but that is common problem

can i solve any of these problems with hard reset, or flash again stock rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

Yes ,you probably could move all your apps to your sd card,but it is not a good idea.

You will then get lag as the system looks for the apps on the card.

Your best bet is to leave your apps on the phone and keep all your music,videos,pictures,and files on the sd card.

Also deleting the emulated sd card will not regain the space on your phone.

Hi,

What phone do you have?

Have you modified the phone in any way?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewis0214:
With Link2SD I can move apps (It works fine on my previous Galaxy Ace phone) probably.

If I delete the emulated sd card will it looks like device storage, and in Total Commander show only 1 SD card(32GB)? And if I delete the emulated sd card can I create a new one if I need it (like when I need to carry my phone to service)?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

Foldermount is the only app that works on this phone.

I still do not think that deleting the emulated sd card is a good idea.

I think the phone needs that space,so deleting it will only cause problems.

Hi,

If you are completely stock,and you are having such problems,you should consider taking the phone back.

It should not randomly reboot,and overheat like you said.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guro84:
yes, completely stock.

problems with overheating i have one in 2-3 days, but restarts when start camera are more often. Almost every time when i try to start front and back camera i have restart in next few seconds...

This may be better answered by the ROM dev........Unless the Facebook app has an option to change the colour scheme it has to be themed (the .apk file).

EDIT

Just to expand on this slightly...If you want to do it yourself and prepared to do ALOT of reading and research then you will need to read up on the following:-

1. S4 Apktool

2. Decompiling & Recompiling

3. .png and .9.png files

4. Vrtheme and UFT (Universal Flasher Tool)

5. Mounting file systems for UFT

Is there anyway you can look in the rom zip in the system/app folder (or priv-app) and see if you see a settings apk?

Only thing I can think of the pop up happening and saying that is maybe the settings apk is missing or corrupted.

Odin to stock would be a waste of time tbh since it's the rom

I've just got a random problem with my sd card. I'm using a SanDisk 16gb card in a stock galaxy s4 GT-I9505. The card has been working fine forever until today, I was taking some pictures of my son on his new bike, when I got back in the house I was going to show his mum the pictures but the phone said the sd had been unmounted. I've tried cleaning the card and remounting with no luck, even by going into settings> storage, the mount sd card is grayed out. I've put the card into the laptop and all the pictures are there and loading fine so the sd doesn't seem corrupt. Does anyone know how to get the phone to remount it so I can view content on my phone?

Hi guys

I have some question about systemui

1 - if for any reason , we see the eror of systemui force close , does this opinion work ?that we replace the other 9505 systemui.apk with the same rom by our phone to correct this eror?

2 - what does systemui do?

3 - it is a very big problem in my mind that if we install a mode in recovery , then we do not want that , how to uninstall or disable it?in many topics of mode no one say how to disable , i need a good answer for any mode

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlM34:
Hi,

1. If SystemUI FC then you will have very limited/no phone functionality....It is an important part of the Android System. You can replace it with another (compatible one) by using a root explorer!

2. Look HERE

3. Some mods do come with a flashable zip to remove certain mods, but not all the time. You can just re-flash the ROM without wipe to remove the mod you have flashed

:)

There was a batches of SanDisk sold on Amazon that have been having issues with being read in devices or failing all together and SanDisk is offering free replacement, if that's where you bought it.

USB dropping in and out constantly

Hi,

Australian owner of a Galaxy S4 Intl running 4.3 after the latest update and I am having extremely stupid issues with the USB.

I wanted to root the device with odin and found that when I plugged the phone into the USB, it wasn't being installed properly.

So far I have tried all the fixes such as re-installing drivers, rolling back, installing Kies 2 and 3 etc.

All that happens now is when I plug the phone in, the drivers say they are installed correctly but it doesn't show up on the phone that it is connected, it just charges. On the PC, i run Odin and the phone shows up as connected but the moment I try to run the root package, the phone starts to drop in and out constantly in rapid succession.

Anyone else having this issue or know of a fix that has worked?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlM34:
Do you have Kies running in the background when trying to use Odin. I think Kies needs to be disabled for Odin to recognise it properly! Just a thought:fingers-crossed:

thanks my friend

is it possible to know what does a mod do in our system then remove them? Because i think reflash a rom is not very necessary for a mode
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlM34:
It depends on what mod you have flashed......As I mentioned, and if a mod is not wanted or what you thought it was; sometimes there is a restore that can be flashed to remove the mod! Otherwise to remove it you would normally have to reflash the ROM without a wipe or depending on whick .apk files have been modded you can just relace that with a compatible one (taken from your ROM zip file) and place in the appropriate location (usually system/app) with a root explorer app!!

EDIT - Some mods replace xml files or .png's (images). Others replace entire .apk files etc etc!

Sorry to bother. I have finally rooted my phone, and I am desperate to overclock it LOL. On the other hand I am very scared of installing the overclock kernel and ruining my phone.

Root

Kernel

Quickboot

And the step by step to do it.

Sorry to be a tool, it is just that I am extremely scared of making a mistake and screwing up with the phone.

Funny thing is when I open Quickboot and press recovery, I get a teamwin logo, and I get all the options there, which makes me assume I have custom recovery installed. I would like to know, Am I right?

In my root SD Card, I also have a folder named TWRP.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
If you are getting the TeamWin splash screen when entering recovery you already have the TWRP custom recovery installed.

Just download the correct kernel.zip for your phone/ROM and place it on your internal SD and flash it through TWRP (go to install and navigate to the SD where you stored the kernel.zip)

As for over clocking, first make sure your phone is stable with the stock values before starting to over clock. Then start over clocking small steps at a time and use every step for at leas a few hours before moving on. If you're phone gets unstable you have gone to far and you need to go back to the last stable setting and leave it at that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroCam:
Thanks man.

I am very scared to do it. If there is any problem installing the kernel, will I able to fix the phone, as I am aware that the kernel is what communicateds the hardware to the software. Can you tell me step by step what you have done.

Sorry to bother is just that I am scared to brick my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Just make a backup in TWRP and make sure you include at least the system/data/boot partitions in it.

You won't brick your phone, the worst thing that can happen is that if you flash the wrong kernel your phone won't boot. In that case just restore the backup.

If you can find a zip with your current stock kernel you can also put that on your SD as fall-back in case your phone won't boot with the custom kernel you can flash that.

Just make 100% sure you have a correct kernel for your phone/ROM and at least 1 backup before proceeding. I have done it hundreds off time, never bricked a phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PedroCam:
Thanks man. I am about to overclock now. Let's see how it goes. :)

Hi - couple of questions:

Can someone confirm the storage I have left on a fresh install is correct?

Apps (no games or large apps - fresh install) and everything else - 1.7GB

Free space - 4GB

I am on Omega 18 which comes in at a 1.5GB download and realise Samsung can use a lot of space but how is 9GB been used?

Been a fan of Omega for a while - had a few issues but for the most part nothing more than you would expect with constantly flashing custom OS. However I have begun to realise certain features don't work with Omega; NFC for now I am not too bothered by but I tried to use DLNA and Screen Mirroring today with no luck. Seems a little silly to use a ROM with several features not working so fancy going back to stock with root. I am on the old bootloader and ML1 GSM modem, can I flash a pre rooted stok 4.3 ROM without installing KNOX? If not, is there a TW ROM that has all features working?
