They finally upgraded the tower close to my house and it's been strange.. Ever since it went live I'm not getting 4G anywhere in Apopka from the 429 down to piedmont Wekiwa road. I use to get it down that stretch consistently but like I said, since the last tower was completed I can't get 4G in that area anymore

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
I was driving home on the Turnpike yesterday afternoon and noticed a brand new tower they were putting together right at the 408 overpass going north on the Turnpike. It's just before the overpass on the right side of the road. Was pulling around 15mbps down. It's funny because they had a crane there assembling it, but the 4G was lit up, and strong.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
Because there is 4G on the water tower by the rest area right up the road.. But that 4G tower that is complete(no 3G back haul) behind the AOK tires is not putting out 4G(even though it says complete) ..if it is they must be facing directly up because I'm not hooking into it with any of our devices.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
Yeah, I was getting LTE off that tower at my house down off of Lake View, but I haven't seen any recently. I'm wondering if they're waiting for an official announcement which should be expected soon?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] graycorgi:
Can't hit 10mbps anywhere in the Tri-Cities despite most of the towers here being upgraded. A bit disappointed. All of these tests except 1 (the higher ping one) were on "4G".

Sprint's towers are spaced too far apart here, tons of dead zones on main roads and lots of capacity issues even with nearly all of the towers having received and been activated with both 3G and 4G network vision upgrades.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
You know, I wonder if it just sends it to people based on the location they spend the most time in, unless they're really doing something to that tower behind AOK, and my address (while it's literally less than a mile from you) is assigned to another tower closer to Plymouth.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
That tower is still down by the way. Coming up to the 2 week mark where it hasn't been putting out 4G. There is still 1 more tower in our vicinity left for upgrades. It's the tower at the 429/414/451 interchange. That hasn't been touched yet and that's a tall ass tower.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] eXplicit815:
They probably cut it off until the last one is done so they can finish the area. It'll all get flipped on when the area is announced. In due time. I know it's coming soon.

At Houston Hobby Airport. Decent LTE signal too at -96dBm, so no one can say "the bars lie!" Nope, this is just an example of how Sprint's NV upgrades are not enough in some areas - there are areas where they're going to need to add towers for capacity if they want to provide satisfactory service. Getting this speed test to complete took 9 attempts.

Hi Guys

I noticed another thread here on how to use your external SD card for apps only me being a noob it was far too complicated. I managed to find this video tho and tried it on my device and it works perfectly. You need a rooted device with Busybox and Script Manager to do this and then you will need to download this script and use Script manager to run this script at startup which basically swaps the internal and SD memory around so your device thinks your SD card is SDcard0. Video explains everything quite nicely.

There are other options out there that work too such as an app called Directory Bind, but this is way easier and much more reliable. With directory bind i was having huge problems trying to access the SD card or internal memory when plugged into my PC. Hope this helps.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GSLEON3:

Question. What size SD card are you guys using?

Can I add a 64gb SD card, on top of the 16gb internal?

so then I would have like 80 gigs total?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kable:
I used a 64 GB micro sd card. That became my internal storage (Sdcard0) while the original internal storage now shows up as (extSdcard) ( Which is approx 10GB ) so you can use it all but it will be 2 separate storage areas.

Just look at the OP's post, he has a pic of how your storage will be showing up.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] fabiovolta:
I'm using FolderMount from Google Play to move specific folders to the SD card, seems to be working well.

The internal SD is probably much faster than the external, so I'd rather not do a full swap.

64gb SanDisk Ultra. Yes u can.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] FaeMinx:
Hi guys.

I haven't watched the video yet... I just want to ask a few questions (and state my case) first:

I've just bought a 64gb SanDisk Ultra... I would like to use it as my internal memory as is described here... I have no intention of ever taking it out of the device.

Now my concerns:

1) I've never rooted a device before. I can get my way around windows and build a pc... that's about it. So I'm very nervous about doing this.

2) In all likelyhood I'll be staying on stock, so I want to be able to receive updates in the future.

3) I've already installed some apps to the internal memory... what's going to happen to those after I do this swap?

So what do I need to know?

Who's going to hold my hand in this? :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] melvill:
hey man, I was in the same boat as you, never rooted anything before. you can root the note 8 by using framaroot. Its really easy and you can Install from the Link below and once rooted you Wont be able to do updates but you will be able to unroot when you would like to do an OTA update. I had to use the Samsung desktop application (Kies) for windows to apply the original firmware to do the updates. Not sure if you will need Factory reset but i did and I was able to update again. This is a software root and if anything goes wrong a factory reset will fix anything, that or just restoring your firmware, this also shouldn t void your warranty

the apps you have installed already will still work you just need to copy all the data on the internal across to your 64GB card (select all, copy and paste)

1 Install framaroot

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1952450&d=1368232060

2. Open frama root and select SupesSu. Select the Aragorn method.

3. Reboot your device

4. Install busy box and open the app. Grant Su permissions and do the smart install

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=en

5. Now you are rooted and ready to follow the steps of this thread.

6. Use ur device to format the SD card

7. Download script and save to SD card

http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyNote2/app2sdNote2

8. Install script manager from play store

9. Open script manager, click on browse as root then ok

10.Choose the downoaded file and choose Script/Executable

11. Now tap on Su, Boot and Save

12. Reboot your phone

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jdub1981:
This is great info and all but what happens if the sd card gets corrupt. Its a very real possibility as I have seen on AC it happens quite frequently. If the sd gets corrupted and that is where your android os file are now stored does your phone/tablet become a brick?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] roustabout:
I wrote the hard to understand version of what's very much this process.

The gui is helpful, but you do need to know what the script is doing and what the script is to troubleshoot problems. It's not actually swapping all of your Android system onto the sdcard, to start with.

Your OS stays internal, and installer files for most of your apps stay on the internal memory. Applications write their data to the sdcard.

Gotchas with this approach include:

-your script needs to be executable by the process which runs it. When I first set this up there were issues around who owned the script and who could run it. If that's broken, you'll get the 'this script could not run' error.

- if you use one of the alternate roms, you will need a different script. Civato's kernel, for example, requires a different version of this script.

- I have heard rumors that 4.2 and above break this approach. Unknown by me.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jlmnote:
This is the only part of the script in red when I view the log inSuperSU:

stdout redirected to /dev/null

Don't know if that clears things up a little?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] roustabout:
you might try enabling adb and running the script from an adb prompt;

adb shell

cd /etc/init.d

find the script (probably called XYmount where X and Y are numbers) and

type

sh XYmount

That should give you fuller output of the error.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jlmnote:

Since this is not a full swap to the sd card I think I am just going to leave it alone....don't want to mess around and risk bricking the unit. If I do decide to try the adb route I will let you know what I find. THANKS!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xd2009:
Thank you for the step by step instructions . I do have a couple questions before I dig into this method.

1 - You mean to copy all the internal sd card to the external one?

2 - the script was written for a Galaxy note II, would it work for the Galaxy Note 8?

3 - When you mention to download and save the script do SD card, do you mean the internal one?

4 - Did you write this script?

Thanks for your help. The lack of internal memory is my biggest issue with the note 8.

Yours,

Alex
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] melvill:
1. Yes

2. Yup I did this for the note 8. working 100% all on my N5100

3. Doesn't really matter but u need this script on your device at ask times for this to work

4. Nope I'm a noob at all this

Hope this helps :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xd2009:
Melvill,

Thanks a lot for your help. I have a question for you and for all. Since you didn't write the script, how can you be sure that it doesn't contain any malware? I am sorry if I offend any person, I just don't know exactly how these things go. Is there a chance of having malware in a script?

Thanks

Alex

---------- Post added at 10:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------

Sorry to ask you this, but did you write the script being mentioned here to swap the internal to external memory cards on the note 8? A question in general, is it possible for a script to have malware? How can we find out if that's the case?

Sorry to asl these questions and please understand that I don't mean to offend any one here. Just feel unsure about how safe it is to run script considering that the tablet has many passwords stored in there.

Thanks for your help

Alex
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kable:
Search to find out who wrote the script if you are concerned. If it's a recognized development then you are safe. Otherwise the choice is yours. Common sense usually prevails with stuff like this. If people that have been here for years and using it without issues or brining up concerns then odds are pretty good that you are safe. You could always wear a tin foil hat when installing for extra protection.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] roustabout:
I modified an existing script and posted it here (there's a thread in note 8 general about it.)

With scripts, malware in the script is unlikely (though folks could post malicious scripts.) It would be possible to add a command in a script that fetched malware - a wget or similar command.

But they're scripts - you should download a copy and read it to see what it's doing. Most scripts are pretty short and this one contains three commands - sleep, mount and chown.
