[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzaslam:
So I just got my hands on an i9500 Octa Galaxy S4.

I'm generally happy with my purchase except for one thing - the storage available to me for apps and games on the device itself.

Right now - I'm seeing about 8.82GB total storage out of which I have about just over 6GB free. That's just shocking !!!

This is supposed to be a 16GB device and I would have expected to see alot more than this. I understand that the other 7GB is taken up by Samsung's own bloat.

This might be a stupid question but is there any way that some of this 7GB can be recovered and used for installing apps etc. I mean, even my old S3 has over 11GB available to the end user.

Yes - I know I have the option of getting an SD card and using an app like Link2SD to move some the existing bloat off internal storage. However, when a device is advertised as having 16GB then it sure as hell should have close to what was advertised.

I really hate the fact how Samsung have marketed this to the general public - especially considering it's their flagship device.

Sorry if this has been asked already but I did do quick search and couldn't find anything on the subject.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malybru:
Hi,

That is your lot. :(

Samsung were a little reticent about how much the user could actually use.

Mine was about 9.5GB on an unbranded device.

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thin_Bezel:
Yes you can free up some space. Root it and then then download Titanium Backup and freeze (uninstall) every bloat you want
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JihadSquad:
That will only free up space in /system though. You would have to repartition to make use of it for other things.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzaslam:
Yes - that makes sense. So the next question is, how feasible is this, if at all ?

I expect that this "other" system partition is hidden and protected. So can we access it and if so, can we in effect, re-partition this storage for general purpose use ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
I have a Nexus 4, still running 4.2.1.

I use bluetooth headphones with it which generally work. However, sometime they connect and media sound still comes out the phone speaker,

Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't help. The awkward trick I've learned is to run the Vonage phone app, and make a phone call, which some how turns the media sound on in the headphone.

There has to be a better workaround than that.

I know there were some bluetooth fixes in 4.2.2, but I don't want to upgrade until I've tested LTE which rumor says is coming next month in Atlanta.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
No replies? I can't be the only one seeing this.

I can be a little more definite. It seems that on the first bluetooth connect from an ad2p device after a reboot, media sound still goes to the internal speaker. As I mentioned above I happened on a terrible workaround. If I invoke the vonage app and place a call with it suddenly the bluetooth device takes over the media sound.

It's painful to have to make a call just to kick the bluetooth headphone into media mode.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldrn:
I don't know if it is the same issue, but my ad2p cuts out sometimes and won't work until a reboot. (It still shows up as working, and sound stops coming from the phone, but...) On 4.2.2 here.

I'll have to give your placing a call trick a try.

Hey bros, been out of the android game for a year so I just got back in with the One yesterday. I'm rooted but haven't installed a custom rom yet. Is there a way to flash a battery percent mod without having to flash a custom rom and set everything back up again? Thanks for your help.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] retnuh730:
Before I flash this... will this for sure work with my Stock rooted rom? I'm not sure if it's deodexed or not.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] im0rtalz:
It will not work, stock rooted is not deodex. I'm assuming that all you did was unlocked bootloader, flashed recovery, and flashed super su correct? Your other option might be to try modaco mod which runs on xposed app settings. I would recommend to just use a custom rom or flash the stock deodex rom though since most future mods will require you to be on a deodex rom.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] retnuh730:
That's what I'm ending up doing. OMJ's rom offers too many benefits that makes setting up again worth it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] davidand1:
I want to know if there's a way that you can have sounds play via the PC speaker, so when your device is on silent on your desk, when you get a text or a phone call, it will play a sound of your choice via the speaker.

Any takers?

I haven't checked yet, but I have a stock ticker widget and Samsung is one of my stocks. I just noticed that it dropped ~$75.00 today...a little over 5%. Anyone know WHY?? I haven't had a chance to look into it today because I've been really busy at work today. What's the deal with Samsung today?? Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheDiabolicaL1:
Recall/refund/partial refund for selling mfrs a 16gb device when it only had 9 of usable space?

That's got to be regulated in some way, and if it isn't, they're going to get the sharp end of that stick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BowDown:
Also I'm sure the release of the S4 has something to do with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schneid:
Mind sharing the NYSE Symbol?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TehFlyingIndian:
Couple of things could account for it, without actually having seen the news on them: they did a stock split - where before you held 1 share for $150, now you have 2 shares worth $75 apiece. They could have also issues a $75 special dividend to shareholders, which I can guarantee 100% didn't happen, because that would be ridiculous and they don't have apple's cash reserves available. My guess is that it's a stock split.

Edit* also, being Korean, their stock is denominated in a foreign, "non-US," currency. They're not listed on am American exchange, only in the form of an American Depository Receipt. So you may have been looking at the price on the Korean exchange or the FTSE? On the NYSE the foreign currency is sometimes denominated in a sub category as well depending on what service you're using to look up the price

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Majorcrafter:
Hello everyone...Noob Here

I have Epic Touch 4g that im going to sell. I wanted to factory reset it. But i know if i do that, i'll get stuck in an endless loop because of the root.

I've been on the Note 2 since it came out and i dont know what build Epic Touch is?

I currently have 4.1.2 Jellybean on the it and the build number is FK23

What build should i upgrade/downgrade to? Can i do it safely without bricking my phone?

What should i do?

Any help would be great

Thank You,

Major <3
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Factory reset will not cause a boot loop, it also will not remove root. You need to use a One-Click restore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
Just did this to return to Sammy for repair. Btw, in the future, questions go in the q&a, not general. Kennyglass is awesome, and will move this promptly I'm sure :). But in the meantime, first, while rooted, run triangle away. Then use Mobile Odin to flash the gb27(sprint), gb28(vm), or gc01(boost) unrooted restore. When that is done, after reboot, format your internal hard drive (and external if you are selling that) and you will be good to go. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lw99:
They control my phone completely. A factory reset from the phone, a hard reset by holding the buttons and a reset done by typing in the number code all dont erase the hackers stuff. Its like they took over the stock firmware of my phone or something. How can I completely erase everything from this phone? Or do I just have to throw this thing away now? They've also similarly took over my Asus Transformer tablet.

Can anyone help me?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lw99:
do you not believe me?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] king_below_my_lord:
Lol, if you're serious, the perfect solution would be to flash a stock firmware over the existing one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 440bro:
First off, what's hacked and how do you know you've been hacked? Then you have to find out how they hacked you. Was it thru an app? Thru Wi-Fi? Did you login on a false webpage like the common Facebook hack?

If you believe you've been hacked change ALL your passwords to EVERYthing. Even Wi-Fi passwords. Make sure you do it from a different device or pc. preferably using https. Then wipe everything possible. Internal, external storage, cookies etc.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lw99:
How do you flash the stock firmware? I dont know anything about this stuff..

An example of how they control my phone is if I download an anti-virus app, they turn off it's monitoring and give it permissions to send texts, access my personal data, make phone calls, etc.

Either way

Ref 440 - I applaud your faith in your fellow man. That is rare in today's post-naiveté world, and should be treasured. But as far as this story goes, either incredibly incompetence or lying is involved... But NOT hacking. Just not consistent. Hacking can sometimes be hard to spot, and then only through exhaustive analysis. If the OP's story is even half true I suspect the case really involves some really dumb action that does NOT involve hacking.

But frankly, I got bigger problems. After the upgrade to stock 4.1.2 I'm getting a series of "No SIM card" errors, even after a SIM replacement. Now going to Google....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The way many have overcome the no sim card error has been to return the phone to stock ICS and the modem to the LF6, then go on to the rom, kernel, and modem of choice.

Using the emergancy firmware installation option of Kies has also been used.

[MENTION=225651]op[/MENTION] You really want to brick your phone do you? It's showing a failed error yet you still persist on flashing it on your phone?

The reason why it's not working is because Sprint variant HTC One is totally different on other versions. They have different partitions.

[HTC First] flatline403:
According to BGR, the First is about to be discontinued: http://bgr.com/2013/05/13/htc-first-discontinued-att-facebook-phone/

I love the First, it's a great size that can be used one-handed, it has stock Android, and the battery life is amazing. But I've held off buying one because I want to make sure it gets CyanogenMod support first. If it does get official CM support, I'll go out of my way to get one, if I still can.

Does anybody know how long it will take HTC to release the source for the First, so CM support might start?

The only competitor to the First on AT&T is probably the One Mini, but rumors are that the Mini will have a significantly smaller battery than the First (1700 instead of 2000mah).
[HTC First] NJGSII:
Can't say I didn't see it coming. With the lack of support in this section I doubt it would get official CM support.

This is one of the best phones I have seen for years. I dont understand why so few people bought it, it even has stock android... It should be easier to develop a working cm for this one than for all these galaxies out there. I would even get over the small storage for all the advantages.
[HTC First] nuclear_eclipse:
I've been trying to figure out how to compile CM as well, do you have any repositories I could look at yet, or is it all still just on your local checkout? I'm not having as much luck, but I've never built CM for anything beyond my Galaxy Nexus before, so I'm not familiar with porting it to new devices.

Here's another vote of confidence for this outcast phone. Really love the design. Who cares what software it's running, we'll flash our own anyway. I've been waiting so long for an upgrade from my HTC Aria, which I got specifically because it was small.

HTC has got to do something with all its unused stock, if they're smart they'll simply remove FB Home and push it back out, if they're dumb we should see these babies go for nothing like the HP TouchPad. Either way this phone has a lot of potential to sell like hotcakes.
