[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtlgab:
Hi everyone,

Ive recently got a nexus 4, its been working awsome until recently.

My mms quality is really bad, like, i cant read anything bad, its just a big blob of pixels...

This happened right after i unlocked and rooted my phone... I also installed francos kernel, then fauxs, then back to stock to see if it improves, still nothing...

It was working fine when i was on stock, i have a friend whos on same network, same phone, rooted and unlocked, stock rom and kernel, and when he sends me mms, the picture is nice and clear...

I really have no idea how to fix this, i couldnt find anything usefull regarding this issue on this forum or on google, i tried go sms, same thing, couldnt find any pic size option in the settings...

Anyone know how to fix this? Any help is greatly appreciated
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtlgab:
Nobody knows anything about this? Any hints as to what i can do would be really appreciated.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
I think its APN related. Which carrier are you on?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtlgab:
I'm on Bell, i'll check my apns, thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtlgab:
I checked my APN, there were some differences, so I created a new one with the right fields filled in, checked the new APN as my new default one, rebooted, same issue, MMS are just horrible, super bad quality

I also flashed a new ROM, so I wiped everything and reflashed, still same issue... I really don't know what to do, it was working great on stock ROM unrooted locked phone, so I know there must be a way to fix this...

Thanks for your help, its much appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Odds are it's the UA Prof which the carrier reads to see what your phone is capable of. You did say you switched back to stock and the issue didn't go away so that might not be it but that's generally the cause. If the carrier doesn't know or can't read your UA then it assumes it's a dumb phone and resizes images to the lowest quality.

Did you go 100% stock or you meant stock kernel?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtlgab:
i went back to stock kernel, but at that point, i was on stock rom, i only flashed a rom afterwards to see if it would help.

i have found a workaround though for sending pics, i decided to play with my cameras quality settings, and reducedthe quality from 8 mega pixels to 5, and surprisingly, that solved the issue for pictures! so 5 mpix shots work good with mms!

i still have the same issue with 8 mpix shots, and screenshots though, i used to be able to take a screenshot of my work schedule, and send it to my gf, cant do that anymore... :(

is there a way to reduce the screenshot quality?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] [Destroya]:
Hey guys just a question regarding the roms for the one, I see for some reason development in the sprint one section is rather slow compared to the other versions. I see when I go to the general HTC one forum the roms say "supports all HTC one models" does this mean I can use on my sprint one? I would assume not because of radio issues?

Thanks in advance for the replys.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] leerage:
No. Only flash roms designed for the Sprint One. Give development time... It will pick up.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sailio:
Quality over quantity. We have root, and a few ROMs. The Evo3D took forever to break in and just exploded after a bit.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Sammath:
Good how to, and the app FolderMount is well worth the money!
[Galaxy S 4 General] GhostLeader:
Nice How-to,

when I am back home, I will try it :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
Samsung's response to the lack of built in memory is an SD Card, yet they don't officially support this - so after a bit of looking around I managed to get it working. Figured if it helps even one or two people out, yay :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] rushless:
Please note you will probably have to reinstall the apps when updates for the app are available in the market.

Not too mention Samsung's response was misleading and stupid, since misleads customers thinking it fixes the app storage.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GhostLeader:
Can you plz add the information where my installed apps are on android? Dont know the path, its my first android smartphone ;)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
So far, I'm not entirely sure. They seem to have different locations:

Android/data

Android/obb

Are a huge chunk (6.6GB on mine - mainly games - Gameloft etc.)

The rest are in 100s of MB at most, so those seem to be the main places. If you get the 'paid' version of the FolderMount app, it shows you the folder sizes in the app which helps a lot :)

As for updates/reinstalling, this may indeed be true. I haven't had a chance to test/play with this unfortunately! :( If I get an update anywhere, I'll update this! :)

Edit: I deleted one of my folders from NFS MW and it redownloaded to the SD Card which was handy - however I don't know how google play will work with updates, whether it does a "smarter" check or not.
[Galaxy S 4 General] opz187:
I can't find most of my apps. There's a few in Android/data. . But idk where the rest are at. Nothing in obb
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
opz what apps are you using?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
As an update, I just updated an app through Play and it looks to have updated without a problem to the SD Card - I can't really poke around much to tell, but it launched and looks fine to me, and looks to still be mounted on the SD Card :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] beagio:
Seems to be updating the apps on the SD card just fine. Cheers OP.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
Thanks for confirming that - from the description of FolderMount it sounds like the phone should be unaware of it being external, so I was hoping there wouldn't be a problem :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] beagio:
Seems to me that it's basically created a symbolic link pointing to the external SD card. Android shouldn't know the difference. That's just a guess tho, as I'm new to this Android malarkey :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
I had an update today for Iron Man 3, which is on my external card. It updated fine through Google Play, and when I launched it it just went "Verifying Files" then launched - no issues :)

The only problem I've found so far is with the gallery and hidden folders. I went into the gallery and hid a folder - a few times I couldn't get the option to show hidden folders. I rebooted, and can no longer either hide or show hidden folders - which is strange. The option is entirely missing now...may be unrelated, but not entirely sure.
[Galaxy S 4 General] drenco:
So as im new to Android guys with this method you can download,install and run/play apps/games straight from a micro sd card thus freeing up the internal storage ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] onesolo:
Wow, I'm using it on S3, and it works much better than Directory Bind, than never did work on my S3 (I don't know why)!!!

Thkx a lot for this!!! Now I finally can have all my big games installed!!!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
Sorry for the delayed response - yep, that's exactly what it does. Again it has some negatives as the external is a bit slower to load and has a higher chance of failure, but I know I certainly had no room internally - this allows me to use the 32GB External for games, apps, etc. :)

Link2SD

Hi all,

I installed Link2SD from market. Working nicely, also with updates and new apps.

Does this this foldermount option do the same, or is it more efficient?
[Galaxy S 4 General] iphoneric:
Seems to do the same thing. No problems so far.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Markuzy:
FolderMount allows you a choice in moving your large app data and obb folders and even media like the whatsapp photos folder to the external SD.

It's more flexible in what you can do.

[Galaxy S 4 General] gob:
The S4 is my first android device so I gave this a try last night and everything works flawlessly so far, I had initially used CF-Auto-Root process and during the first run of FolderMount I was prompted to install busybox. After a patch of a file and a reboot everything fell in place!

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Denomenance:
Heya, I moved GTA Vice city onto my SD, yet my app information still shows that it's taking up space. Any help?
[Galaxy S 4 General] gob:
It's OK!

That's how it works (like a virtual folder)

"The files will exist in both the source and destination after mounting. This is expected and is normal. The files you see in your internal sdcard actually reside in your external sdcard now and if you "unpin" the pair, you'll see that your internal sdcard is empty again."

Go into storage manager and you will see that the internal space has increased by the size GTA Vice City was taking up!
[Galaxy S 4 General] IamIrene:
This not consider as move apps to sdcard

Is move the app folder from internal storage to micro sd :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] gob:
That is exactly what it does it just tricks the phone into thinking it is still on the internal storage when it's actually on the SD card!
[Galaxy S 4 General] ZANGETSU786:
help

Hi guys, I'm new to the android scene. I try to save the settings of foldermount but it says"source folder is in entrie SDCARD folder plz choose sub directories of the SDCARD instead

NAME Generic Game 1

source storage/emulated/0

destination storage/extsdcard
[Galaxy S 4 General] gob:
You cant for the entire SD Card but you can for individual games/apps or data e.g for need for speeed:

NAME NFS

source - navigate to NFS data directory is

destination - let the app auto create NFS data directory

When it finishes moving data then pin it. If it's green then it's OK
[Galaxy S 4 General] ZANGETSU786:
thxs mate:D
[Galaxy S 4 General] IamIrene:
but your title stating moving apps to sdcard

just like android 2.2 and 2.3, really move the apps into sdcard :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] gob:
I think our wires are crossed. I'm not the original poster, just contributing and since I'm new to android I can't comment on 2.2 or other variants. This does move the app data to the external sd card and will also update the apps to the sdcard. :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] IamIrene:
yup haha

btw hope you can add this important note

let say you want unmount sdcard to plug in computer to transfer file, then plug in back the sdcard to phone

and open the game that the data has been move using folder mount, is not working

just simply reboot the phone will do

example, I move iron man 3 obb file to microsd, i unmount my microsd to computer to transfer files then plug back to phone

and I want play iron man 3, is can't

just reboot phone will do
[Galaxy S 4 General] skivnit:
Why does it say :FM has detected a faulty module on your Samsung phone
[Galaxy S 4 General] gob:
I haven't tried this yet but the app developer staes that " It will check SDCARD mount status and remount if necessary." :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] samb222:
Does the root work for UK firmware I9515XXUAMDD? I can't find any topics mentioning it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
Wow, this post got busy! Sorry guys, I'll update the main post as soon as possible with info on rooting the newer firmwares. To answer a few queries:

- If you unmount a folder, you cannot play it/open it. Opening the app will prompt a redownload. Opening FolderMount you should be able to remount the application however.

- This tutorial uses FolderMount as it was the first I could find with s4 mounting ability - if others work, great! :)

- The data is moved to the SD Card, but it still shows as being "installed" on your local memory - it is not possible to "install" directly to SD anymore apparently - this was a google move. What this does is trick your phone into thinking it's accessing its internal memory - when really it's accessing the SD Card :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] hjogi:
Thank you for this info.

But is possible to move app on SD without rooting the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 General] skivnit:
Tried with virtua tennis it asks me to download the data again
[Galaxy S 4 General] IamIrene:
no idea I try unmount and mount back sdcard and play iron man 3

ask me to download LOL
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
Not from what I can see I'm afraid :( I didn't want to root myself, but the phone was useless until I got the extra space.

skivnit, go into FolderMount and make sure it is mounted - the pin shows you whether it is or isn't, and there's two options at the bottom for mount all or unmount all.

If it's not mounted you'll get an issue like this.
[Galaxy S 4 General] skivnit:
It was pinned and green but for some reason it was empty folder. Redid the whole thing and is working wonders thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] cowie86:
I'd also like an answer to this same question please. I9515XXUAMDD doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere online. If someone would could tell me which of the rooting options in the OP to use for I9515XXUAMDD then I'd be really grateful. This is the only thing stopping me from rooting my S4 and sending everything to the SD card.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Also, does the phone have to be 'unlocked' from its network provider for rooting to work? Sorry, this is my first android device!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
Is this the Exynos version as opposed to the Snapdragon?

I only know anything about the SnapDragon versions unfortunately, so can't say much on the Exynos personally - hopefully someone else a bit more knowledgeable can help! :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] cowie86:
According to the article on Sammobile (I cant post links yet):

There are, currently, 3 variants of the Galaxy S4:

GT-I9500 – Exynos 5 Octa 1.6 GHz without LTE

GT-I9505 – Snapdragon 600 1.9 GHz with LTESHV-E300S – Exynos 5 Octa 1.8 GHz with LTE

(If you want to read the whole thing, the article is called "Galaxy S4′s latest benchmark confirms Samsung’s Exynos 5 Octa kills Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 600")

So it seems all 9505s (which is what I have) run snapdragon rather than Exynos, so I'm hoping it'll work. But I'm new to rooting, so I don't want to try it before I can be as sure as poss that it'll work ok.

Thanks for the help so far!

I also read some where that the higher the last letter in the "version code" (I don't know the correct term) the newer the version, i.e. MDD would be followed by MDE. Does anyone know if this is true?

Apologies for such basic questions!

All of this reminds me of the G1 days. At least HTC and Google had an excuse then, since Apple secured most of the flash market back then.

Make sure that you have plenty of space free on the drive, and try either simply rebooting, or unmounting/remounting via the foldermount app - select the "pin" to the right to unmount, then select again to mount.

Thanks mate. Seems like I will still waiting for the nobody-knows-when-it will-be-released 32gb S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] afonsov:
I just bought a 64 Gb card just to find that I can't move apps to the card. :rolleyes: Oh well... maybe a future ROM will bring it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
I'm not in hurry, because I have the S3. It's frustrating when you can't move the apps to the SD card. I have the S3 with a 32 gb card, only 1gb used on the card and almost all the space occupied on the phone.

Also I don't want to install a custom ROM because I will lose all the features and I sure will still be impossible to move the apps.
[Galaxy S 4 General] afonsov:
I also have my previous S2 with a custom ROM (NeatRom) and move most of the apps to external card. I guess we just have to wait. Only problem is that some games are really big to have in internal memory. Maybe a mod to fix this may be created in the future. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Yeah, I know. It's not the first time I need to uninstall a game because I have no space for another
[Galaxy S 4 General] onesolo:
don't get it... you are talking that on a thread from an app that clearly can move data to the external sd card, and works on S4 and S3 !!!!

Why are you (and others) complaining about?!?

I'm pretty happy with this app right now!!! It doesn't move the apps like you can do on regular aosp android, but at least you can move most of the data from the apps... more important it can move the big games!!!

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Can't you read that:

1) it's not working with all phones and games

2) not everyone want to root

3) Samsung makes the routing impossible with some updates (read AndreiLux thread)

32gb version is necessary like the water
[Galaxy S 4 General] afonsov:
Well, because this method has some flaws. If an app is updated then it is installed in internal memory instead of external card, for example.

But I'll try it and see how it goes...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Eambo:
From experience, updates work fine with Foldermount - you just have to make sure it is indeed mounted before updating. This is easily checked in the app.

This thread explains how to do it with root :) If you're thinking of custom roms you're probably rooted anyway! :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] afonsov:
Thanks mate! I will try this method and Foldermount. And yes, I have rooted already. Did it in the same day I got the S4. :D

Should i move app by app or moving all using Android/data - Android/obb ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] dizchinorichie:
Hey Eambo, I've just purchased the Pro version of the app, but am having problems with the actual app itself.

Apologies if I am missing something here, but I'm not seeing the space free up on the internal SD even with me unpinning the pair. I've followed the instructions word for word. Also, im not seeing the size of the folders when I go to make new pairs... it just stays at "calculating". Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: Also, unmounting the SD card and starting an app that was pinned still starts the program. The external SD has the files that are necessary for operation of said program.
