[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
If it was complete then all you need to do is reboot. Hold the power button for 10 seconds, if that doesn't work hold the power button with volume down and boot in to recovery. Also no need to open a thread for it, just ask in the trickdroid thread :highfive:

sorry for opening the thread but i have tried holding the power key and nothing seems to work....just trying to find out if there is another way to make the device reboot.

Hold the phone under bright light and then try holding the power button

Try holding them down together with the phone under a bright light

good idea...maybe sing "this is the end" by the Doors...:highfive:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurby:
That's not a joke, presumably HTC put something like a safety so your phone doesn't turn off in your pocket. So in a dim room the hold power button to restart the phone might not work, hence the bright light trick

Hi all,

After i upgraded to wm2nd 2.02 from this forum, my t-m mda2 started not to recognize my sandisk 512mb sd card. Anyone experienced this problem? The sd-card works with my card reader but the device does not recognize it.

Thanks indeed

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] reypowers:
is tmobile just replacing all t999 phones for any issue? I was having battery issue and customer service just decided to replace the phone no questions asked and i would receive it within 3-5 days, has anybody had there phone replaced recently since the t999l came out?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RnRexpress3423:
Hmm so they gave you the LTE version of the phone, no questions asked? Might have to give tmobile a call lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
I highly doubt they're going to send you a T999L - that would be a BNIB phone. You'll most likely end up with a refurb T999 with more issues than you can count.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] reypowers:
if its not the t999l im just sending it back i dont need a refub phone since its just battery i just needed my battery replaced but ill keep everyone posted
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
Please do because I'm ready to go off on T-Mobile for all the lies about LTE support on my current S3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gypsy214:
Dude I doubt they will send the t999l the only way they will do it is if they run out of t999 refurbish ones.

Hello everyone,

If you would like to measure temperature, humidity, environmental conditions, and all other sensors data (Acceleration, Gravity, Magnetic field, Pressure, Light level, etc.) you can try the "Galaxy S4 All-in-1 Thermometer" application, which was developed exclusively for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (currently it's the only phone with temperature and humidity sensors embedded).

For all the features available, check the application description and screenshots at Google Play (just copy and paste the application name at the search bar).

It is very necessary, and there are free applications

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
I looked and didnt see this info here in the forum so I figured I should post it. If it has already been posted I apologize. Anyway if not here it is. Samsung has released a firmware update to allow moving of apps to external SD. This is due to the 16gb not actually being that, but more like 9gb. I for one think this is great news. Especially considering I just ordered a new Class 10 micro SD and it will be here today. It is currently only rolling out in Germany, but Im sure it will get here. And even if it doesnt Im sure some cool dev can make it work for us!!! Anyway here is the link. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-57...r-galaxy-s4/?tag=nl.e703&s_cid=e703&ttag=e703

Heres a list of what the update includes.

New Camera firmware with HDR video

Smearing issue has been fixed (Purple effect while scrolling)

Smart Pause Toggle

Move Apps to SD Card

Semi-transparent status bar

New Icons in Settings

Secure boot status in “About Phone”

Increased display legibility
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
I just read this on http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2420067,00.asp . This looks promising but right now its only out for the snapdragon processors. Hopefully we'll see the qualcomm version arise soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsangwc:
Snapdragon is from Qualcomm
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Omega360:
I'm wondering if this firmware update brings "under the hood" changes. I.E. removing root exploits and bootloader bypasses.

All in all, I'm excited to see what the new camera firmware brings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jawiler:
I was thinking the same thing, time to install a custom ROM before an OTA messes up my root.:eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
Isnt that what is in our S4? Qualcomm Snapdragon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
Yes

http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/600
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 05gsxrk5:
Is there any way to disable the update by freezing an app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Omega360:
If I remember correctly, if you freeze/remove any of the Verizon apps OTA updates will not be pushed/downloaded to your device. I am not 100% sure on this, someone please correct me if I am wrong.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
If your worried that the update will cause you to lose root I wouldnt worry about it being permanent. The devs we have here are awesome and would get root back for sure. You could also try voodoo OTA Rootkeeper. It might work if that happened.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Soldi3rxx:
no only if you remove the file needed for OTA, but if your rooted its you won't be able to download it anyway. Will mess up your device. usually theres a leak a week or two before them update gets pushed out and if your rooted you can just flash it and be fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] zetachi:
plus wouldn't you have to manually go and approve the download and update before it ran? Or are they automatically pushed and updated? I know on my wifes unrooted S3 I have to go in and get the update and run it. I haven't had an unrooted phone in so long I wouldn't know on mine :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jscarano:
Can't wait till a dev merges this with their rom.:):)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fu5ion:
If you have a custom recovery the install will fail, so you're fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
Has anyone gotten the OTA? I would love to get my hands on the camera .apk. Wondering what this "improvement" is all about.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] berfles:
It probably only adds the HDR video that's talked about, it doesn't help the "lag" everyone but me seems to notice. People in the main board already have it installed I think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ITGuy11:
Our phone has the Snapdragon 600 processor.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheMavic:
Looking forward to getting my hands on this. The app-to-sd feature is going to be very useful, especially for games.

Anybody have a demo video of what the HDR video looks like?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
Mental note to self... Never ever post a logical statement 20 min after waking up... Haha

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elucid:
When do yall suppose this will hit Verizon as an OTA update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BladeRunner:
I'd be very careful about taking ANY OTA's at this point. If they patch the by-pass Dan Rosenberg has given us, and patch it well enough, it could be weeks before we get another exploit. Just ask Droid DNA users....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kvswim:
Couldn't devs just patch the stuff that was changed and not have to use the entire thing? Suppose we would need source though.

Don't get your hopes up too soon, Verizon is notorious for rolling out updates dead last. It will be a while before any US carrier sees this, but forever before it comes to VZW.

When it eventually rolls out, and you DONT want to update, you can change the build.prop to reflect the new build number. At least, this was the workaround we used to use on the Droid Charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
I would actually expect Verizon to push this update out more quickly than others considering that this is their flagship phone currently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zoddex:
Well nothing about 9500...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DragonHunt3r:
I really missed the apps2sd this is awesome :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] elucid:
Make sure to report back if anyone gets it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] brizey:
It may not matter how quickly Verizon pushes the update if the needed stuff can be pulled from another carrier's build.

I have never taken an OTA on any of my devices except my daughter's A200, which has an unlocked bootloader so there is not much risk, and by the time I got it everyone was already working on the new base anyway. I don't even take OTAs on my Nexus 7 and there is no risk at all. But a Verizon phone with a locked bootloader that has a workaround...no way. I may even switch to an AOSP ROM just in case once the OTA starts just to make sure, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RJV3:
I'm rooted and do not want to loose root. The apps to sd card feature is definately a must. I've been using the sand disk memory zone app in order to move pictures and other media to my sd card, and was ready to just cut and paste my apps folder from internal to external memory until I heard of the firmware update.

Any clue when to expect the update? I'm not going anywhere close to hit the update button on my rooted phone. Hoping a dev on this board can make a flashable zip and confirm there were no other "under the hood" updates not stated, i.e , losing root access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ncope562:
I'm assuming developers like jellybeans, etc will probably incorporate the pertinent stuff from this update in their later builds??? I am a little new at all this, but I would like some of the features of the update but I don't want to have to go through the whole root and and flash process again...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gsxcorey:
If you have twrp for recovery and are rooted with the stock rom and flash it, you may lose right, but it wouldn't overright recovery would it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Depends on whether it includes a recovery.img or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vampyre111:
Well this is exciting news for sure. I never understood many of the decisions made by Verizon when they finally released this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Crossoverdoc:
Hopefully this makes its way to our phones one way or another sooner or later. As a Mac user, rooting is difficult for me.. so if I can have this update I might not worry about rooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ChapterOmega:
Must have

This is a must have, didn't even realize you couldn't do it already until I read this thread!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] rushless:
Though better than nothing, this update does not help with the apps that would cause serious space problems in the first place. Big data apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wallstreet123456:
I am playing a game called Bards Tale and it gave the option to store the data (which is a huge file) on the SD card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Verizon had nothing to do with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arcanexvi:
We are more worried about them patching the bootloader exploit. That is something they could fix and be much harder to circumvent. If you're interested in installing custom ROMs/Kernels it's advised that you do not take these updates. The developers will derive a safe update for you to install using your favorite recovery software.

and Verizon supposedly got you the new AWS radios in your GS4 vs the other variants so... be happy? I think? Maybe?... :P
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Vampyre111:
Verizon didn't choose to remove some advertised features so they could add more bloatware? That's what I meant. Sorry for not expressing myself better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
Thats a good point. Ill wait for someone to create a safe zip to flash with the update. Hopefully soon because Im already out of internal sd space after installing a few gameloft games.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kvswim:
Soo... Do we actually have our hands on it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
I don't think we do yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] roberttwilliams:
I could see you mention Germany on you post. What about USA, do this update available in USA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
As far as I know it hasn't hit the United States yet. But I'm sure someone will figure it out and create a Flashable zip for us to use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
While we're waiting for that update have you guys heard of the "foldermount" app? It works great for moving large apps and data files to external sd card. For example I used it to move my gameloft data files from internal phone storage to external SD card and got several gigs of my phone storage back. Went from only 1.6gb left to 6.23gb without uninstalling anything. Just moved data with foldermount.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] prem1er:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loudaccord:
I just want HDR Video :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Seriously. I keep saying this, but foldermount is 100x better than app2sd. App2sd is pointless. Apks are small, and moving the apks to the slower SDcard is not a good idea. Apk2sd is a pain. You have to do it for a ton of apps manually and only get a little storage back.

Just set up foldermount to link /Android/OBB to the sdcard. Do this one link once and never worry about internal storage again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
I love the foldermount app. But my phone doesn't say total storage is 16gb mine says 9.72gb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
*shrug* I don't know. Maybe it starts displaying 16GB when the combined internal usage + linked files goes beyond that 9.27GB. Mine used to say that too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tsangwc:
My friend's ATT s4 displayed 9GB but my Verizon s4 display 16GB.

How exactly do you set the folder to go to the ad card
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wishdiak:
Could you be more specific on this point? When I attempt to do so, I get the message "Source folder is the entire obb folder! Please choose subdirectories of obb instead".
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Open foldermount, press the action overflow button, select settings, and uncheck destination directory check. Then do what you were trying to do earlier.

In not sure if this is a pro feature though. I went ahead anf bought it before finding out :P. Although it's worth the $ not to have to set up the mount points every time you install a new app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] infamousxsniper:
Okay I am new to the S4 forums, so this might be a nooby question... Can I flash roms from the I9505 and i9500? Or is that a big no no? Thanks :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Zoddex:
It already comes as a widget
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Southern_mind:
That's a pro feature.

---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:52 PM ----------

The i9500 is octa core so NO. The other versions I heard yeah but you have to make sure to flash a kernel made for the correct phone but I'm not sure exactly how that's just what a read on a thread here somewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] infamousxsniper:
So I would be able to flash a rom from one of the i9505 forums?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fclifton:
Why the /Android/obb folder? Mine appears to have nothing in it. The /Android/data folder has a lot of stuff in it however.

Frank
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Obbs are app resources, data is app data.

If you have a bunch of small apps then data will obviously be larger.

However I have a ton of apps and games installed and 13GB in my obb folder and 2GB in my data folder. I couldnt fill up my data folder to impact storage significantly (I don't consider 2 out of 9 that much) if I tried.

So I only link the obb folder. Linking data would be fine... Still a waaaaay better option than moving the apks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fclifton:
Very interesting! I have a couple of custom apps that download audio and video files, and I have about 10GB in my data folder. As you say, FolderMount is indispensable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Oh right. If your apps are downloading and storing media that will probably be in data and take up a good bit of space.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swears11:
Hi, Sorry if this is a silly question, but I can't seem to find Foldermount pro in the play store. I downloaded and installed Foldermount, but am unable to follow the steps listed above.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
Its within the app. Settings I think.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hinds90:
Can someone give a step by step on setting folder mount.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] swears11:
Thank you. I got it.

I setup Google Play music to be mounted on my SD Card, however, it seems like there the data is just stored in both locations now (phone & SD card).

Step by Step instructions would be very helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Gam3r 4 Life:
If you see it in both places then you did it right. When you have the folders linked it will show the same data in both folders (internal sd, and external sd). This is how it works so that the app/ game will see the data still on the internal memory, even though its not actually there. Now if you unpin them and look you will see that the data is no longer showing in the internal memory (sdcard), but will still be on the external where the data is ACTUALLY at. You can verify this by checking how much storage you show in settings when pinned or not pinned.

Heres a basic how to.

1) Name the app or game

2) Select source data that you want to move. For example sdcard/android/data/app or game data folder, press check button

3) Allow app to create the destination folder

4) If you havent moved the data the app will do it for you

5) after data moved press pin, if you get green pin you should be good

6) reboot, wait for folders to mount (if you selected "run on boot") Im not sure if reboot needed, but I do it just in case

7) Test app or game, then verify in settings/ storage that you have more space.

Heres what mine looks like.
