you arent going to just magically get 7 gigs of storage back, the space is taken up and thats all there is to it, the update is giving back about 300 MB's but the big deal is you can now move apps to sdcard (yay a new feature from 2.2!)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] maxnix:
Hope the developers here jump on this very quickly.

I have always wondered why something like DTa2SD doesn't exist for JB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChadH42:
I re-read the article and you are right, we are getting .08GB back. Yuck!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shabbypenguin:
im not sure i follow. you go to your app manager and click move top sdcard, it was a feature in froyo :) we are just getting that option back as a way around samsungs massive system space waste
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] byebyev8:
My question is. Does this update effect rooted phones at all?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] clark44:
Cannot wait to get my hands on this one!! :thumbup::D

i cant wait wait till u get your hands on it either!! :fingers-crossed::D:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GhostSonic:
I wonder if this will fix whatever SuperSU did to allow it to work on a stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] byebyev8:
If we are rooted can we do this update without screwing up the root?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] P.Mobile:
na.. i didnt see anyone say that.. i never take any OTA's while rooted.. even if people say its ok.. i like to play it safe.. just wait for a dev to package it into a zip ect.. then update that way..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
I'm just hoping this ota isn't such a jerk like MDL was in regards to getting the update to stick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mmmajor:
This video supposedly shows the update already released on the German galaxy s4. It looks so much faster.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTFZonCBqMg&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
Yeah well showing the update on an eight core phone isn't realistic to compare to a four core. Features maybe, performance meh. As for the ota screwing up root, every time before it has. As for waiting for an update zip with root intact, MDL doesn't have it as far as I know. Take the update and reboot it. It wouldn't surprise me if the ota patched stuff so rooting wouldn't work with available methods. I'm not saying it will, I'm saying it could very well could muck things up. It doesn't matter. We will still get lots of posts how they lost root after taking the ota or the ota wouldn't stick on their rooted phone. Wash rinse repeat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] CCallahan:
Not to start a debate but don't see how the amount of cores has anything to do with how fast the interface is. Shouldn't be using any additional cores unless gaming or something pushing the phone which I doubt the TW launcher is doing. Plus, from what I read the German S4 is using the Snapdragon. (my sources could be wrong though).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] 84guy:
You are aware the octa core only has 4 cores active at one time right?

Also i thought i read in there that the update is only out atm for the snapdragon version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] maxnix:
Yep, in Gingerbread with only 500MB it meant one could move all of the apps on a rooted custom ROM to the SD card to a created partition of say 2 GB.

---------- Post added at 01:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

Which in one article I read is identified as the SnapDragon CPU, not the Exnyos.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Hippoman13:
This update doesn't appear to have HDR Video, unless it's on by default. NOTHING in the camera app references HDR video... hmm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] P.Mobile:
I thought we would have got it by now
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ajbd73:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Truitt.Jack:
They are re-adding the move app to SD card feature that Google removed after Gingerbread. Downside to this is it will be up to Samsung to support the feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sputnik767:
Since it is a potentially useful feature that Google removed and Samsung supposedly added back, by definition this is not a downside. In fact, it is a testament to Samsung, that they are actually listening to their customers and reacting to their needs. This Apple-like approach to customer support is refreshing to see from an Android manufacturer, and just one more reason to go with Samsung over other Android phones.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Truitt.Jack:
The actual feature itself isn't the downside. Google removed it because it was buggy, and Samsung is adding it back in because of the bloat and lack of usable internal storage. The downside is that if there are any bugs or problems, we'll have to wait for Samsung to fix it. Samsung has always been listening and giving consumers what they want, they just aren't nearly as supportive of the developer community.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fzammetti:
If Sammy is smart they'll put a BIG, RED NOTICE when you try to move something to SD that says "hey, make sure this ain't a widget, wallpaper, or something that you think might run at startup, and if you don't listen, don't come-a callin' us when things go south". The last part about startup isn't always easy to know for sure (without root) but the first two certainly are... hell, if they could somehow make it so you could only move games there that would probably ensure no problems 95% of the time. That was the lesson I learned back in the Epic 4G days... of course, the other problem I remember frequently was launchers taking a dump when they couldn't see apps (I assume as part of getting their icons when starting up). Not sure there's a solution to that one, but fortunately, it wasn't a dealbreaker as I recall.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sputnik767:
Samsung can also limit what things you can move to SD. That would be much simpler for them, and the end users in general.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fzammetti:
I'm not sure how feasible that is... can they definitively identify what's a LWP, what's a widget and so on? I'm not sure. I certainly agree though, if they can then definitely I think they should.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] clark44:
Every "app" *.apk contains something called the AndroidManifest.xml that contains key elements for the file. This includes whether the device is a widget, launcher, wallpaper, even an exposed module ect. ;)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ChadH42:
So it's been 10 days since the MEA announcement and not one word from Sprint on whether or not we will get the update!!

Inquiring minds want to know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] myphone12345:
Have any of the other US carriers announced any plans?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
Knowing sprint, it would be a month or more before it became official. We'd probably see it in the forum before sprint released it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] amwworks:
Fixed that for you

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
It is at least safe to say that we on Sprint will get an official release almost certainly before AT&T and maybe before T-Mobile. Those folks on Verizon will be waiting for the update 1-3 months after the rest of us have it (Verizon has to be sure their V-crapware will be compatible) and their version will still be riddled with bugs the rest of us don't have.

I just updated my phone to jb and everything is perfect and smooth. But the hdmi is really laggy. I cant watch a movie with it.. But when you play it on phone it is fine.. Is this connected with the 1080p video recording lag issue??

I use hdmi a LOT and i hope they get this problem sorted out.. It was fine on ics... :(

[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Hello!

I'm having a problems, when i'm trying to install iodak v5 and Werewolf v005 on my phone.

I have CM 10.1 Nightly (20120604) and CWM 6.0.3.1.

When i boot into recovery mode, im installing iodak v5 from internal sdcard, and after install i'm rebooting phone.

It stucks into logo lg, and i have to boot into recovery again and do a factory reset.

Another problem is when i'm trying to install Werewolf v005 instead of iodak v5.

I'm doing factory reset, cache partition reset, and installing CM 10.1, gapps, Werewolf v005_fixed.

When im rebooting phone, it stays in 'bootloop', so i have to re-insert my battery and do a factory reset again.

But when i install only CM 10.1 then Werewolf v005 - it works, but what can i do without google apps?

When i'm trying to install only play store, phone is turning off and again stuck in 'bootloop'.

Pls help me, i really want to have 1.7 ghz and 520-600 mhz.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
hmm, your problem sounds interesting... what's your cpu variant?

also, have you tried: full wipe --> flash rom --> flash gapps --> wipe cache --> flash kernel --> reboot?

cause sometimes flashing gapps needs to wipe cache, too...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Thanks for your post.

It's my first rooted phone and i have LG 4x HD from just one week.

How can i check my cpu variant?

PS. Yes, i've tried, and with Werewolf it works, but when i will open Play Store, phone is turning off and bootlooping again..

And with iodak it's still stuck in lg logo.

PS2. Sorry for my bad english! English isn't my main-language.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
about CPU variant, [MENTION=5019740]exFAT[/MENTION] wrote a tut on how to find it out.

and about the bootloops:

flash it and let it boot. then run a logcat, recording the crash when attempting to open play store. when it is bootlooping then, please grab a dmesg (last_kmsg) and give me/us the two files. then we can see what's the problem ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Now i have another problem.

I did like u said (full wipe -> flash rom -> flash gapps -> cache wipe -> flash werewolf)

I opened Play Store, and it worked.

I downloaded the game (Subway Surfers) and opened. I've started playin', and after about 10 seconds phone got fully lagged, i had to re-insert battery. Now when i'm trying to boot it up, it's coming to PIN, but i cant click numbers.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
Are you sure you installed the right Kernel? There are two variants: for CM and Stock. If you flash the wrong one you'll get problems.

Sent from my LG-P880
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
what do you mean with you can't click numbers?

good point, but if he's flashed the stock version on CM, it shouldn't boot at all ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
Well.. he did get in a bootloop or stuck on boot logo didn't he?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
yeah, he did, but:

and with the stock kernel he wouldn't be able to do all this ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
Iodak kernel was the issue with boot logo, maybe that one was the mistake. As for the Werewolf one, could it be the ROM itself? Or wrong gapps version. Instead of 4.2.2 got 4.2.1
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
well, of course it could be the rom having a bug. and about gapps, nope, i don't think so.

but for giving a proper answer, i'd need a dmesg ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
Indeed. I'll leave it to you, My knowlege of Android isn't very high.,
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
[MENTION=5185613]Monskiller[/MENTION]

The first time that's true, i used variant for Stock, but i did wipe and installed the CM variant, and it's the same - stuck in lg logo.

[MENTION=4716493]laufersteppenwolf[/MENTION]

I will try to run 'logcat' when i will again flash werewolf [cuz sometimes when i flash it works, and sometimes i'm stuck in PIN and i can click anything (lagged)].

But i there i have Another problem... Im trying to check CPU variant as u said, but when i flash CM, adb says - 'error: device offline'.

@@EDIT

Help me pls, again i flashed werewolf. I downloaded and installed 'catlog' and started recording, then i wanted to download trickster, and in one moment, phone just turned off... im broke..... how to check file from catlog now? (phone is not bootloping, when im trying to boot up it's just turning off after CM logo)

When i will flash CM, i wont be able to check logs, cuz on CM my adb doesn't work (device offline)... what have i to do?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
Did you do a full backup in CWM before trying to flash kernel/ROM or mess with anything like that? I've made and kept a full nandroid backup of mine just in case.

Your problem seems pretty serious.. I'm no expert. Try to use a different ROM maybe? just for now see if it behaves the same.

Also, did you try to whipe Dalvik cache? (Think that's how is called)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Ehh, so i won't check that dmesg?

Maybe i have to try Werewolf ROM? It looks really good too.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
Try a different ROM, but if the problem still exsists then check dmesg, as laufersteppenwolf said. He'll know a better solution.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
yeah, that'd be no bad idea. 'cause you've got problems with my kernel, try my rom (don't have to like/use it, just for testing). the v005 kernel is already included.

wipe everything (full wipe + format /system), flash rom, flash gapps, wipe cache ,boot :D and see what happens ;)

and about adb, you need the latest adb version (.31) for android 4.2.2. then you also need to "register" your PC in your phone. simply just type adb devices --> look @ your phone and allow the access. now adb should work
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Really thanks for help..

But i have another problem.. did i broke my usb cabel or what?

When im on CM 10.1 nightly, and connecting usb for try to put urs ROM into my internal sdcard, my PC says error.

Also when im trying to update to V20A through S/W Upgrade it says 'PHONE WAS NOT FOUND'.

So what should i do now.. ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
try to re-install your drivers ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Sorry for me but.. which drivers, and how?

@@EDIT

I've installed the newest LG MOBILE UNITED Drivers, and it's still the same...

'can't copy files - device stopped working or has been disconnected' (or something like that, cuz it's in polish and i don't know how is it in english properly).

@@EDIT2

I've tried to connect my phone to other PC, and on other pc everything works fine... where's problem?

@@EDIT3

I connected via WiFi file transfer pro, and downloaded your rom on it, but now CWM says when i'm trying to flash 'Can't open ..... .zip (bad) installation aborted'
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
try to re-download and copy it again ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
OK, now it looks like that :

1. When i'm booting phone, it's sometimes turning on, and sometimes doesn't work and turning off.

2. When i'm using phone, often it's crashing when i'm doing something, and i have to re-inster battery and boot phone again.

(anyway ur rom is best, i want to keep it but help me with those problems pls..)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Please help me, what can be wrong..

U see, my phone when i'm booting with your rom is booting on, and after your logo is turning off.

Sometimes phone is turning on after your logo to launcher, but after 10-15 minutes of working with phone he's crashing and turning off.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] sPEADy:
Sorry I did'nt knew that.

Like what I said hit " Thanks" Button.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
don't u understand that i can't connect my usb cabel?

it's something wrong with computer, but i dont know what... (on other pc i can)

'can't copy files .....' (i write it earlier) and kdz says 'phone not found'
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
Please give me

a dmesg to work with ;)

That's problem with your PCs drivers then...

Try to flash on another PC if you can ;)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Thank you, phone totally lagged, no way to flash KDZ (after KDZ lg logo stuck).

Have to destroy phone 'cuz i lost warrancy because of ROMS .
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
You should of made a nandroid backup as soon as you installed a CWM Recovery...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mikollek:
Ok, i dont know why but phone turned on..

Already i love more JB interface. And I'm trying to flash iodak v5 ( im sure that it's version for Jb )

but after flash, phone stays at LG Logo, and i have to flash KDZ JB again.

Can u help me?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Monskiller:
OK. This time you might of flashed the CM version of Idoka instead of the Stock one. You gotta check them first.

I tell you this, if you manage to install Stock by flashing kdz and becomes stable, when you manage to install CWM do a nandroid backup ASAP.

Then try experimenting with different ROMs. I always do that if I mess up anything.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Hi guys!

I'm planning to buy a HTC one in the near future, but I have some questions about bying it.

- Should I import a device to cut the price?

In Belgium, the phone costs 699 euros (= 917 dollar), but in America the phone costs 699 dollar (= 533 euros).

--> http://catalogue.proximus.be/PUB/gs...&contentpath=18a6cf96bd1acba60000013d42e53d96

--> http://www.amazon.com/HTC-One-Facto...e=UTF8&qid=1370519371&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one

- What issues could I face if I bought an HTC one from Amazon?

It's more than 150 euros cheaper for the phone (international version).

And normally, this would work in Belgium, right?

So guys, let me hear your opinions.

Importing, yes or no, and why?

Thanks!

Matt
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
No LTE, warranty will cost you (maybe 30euros per issue,) and only be 1 year not 2, import duty...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
Why don't I have LTE?

If I insert a SIM from a local provider, it should work.

Or not?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArmedandDangerous:
Depends on what frequencies your local telcos use for LTE.

From this list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Europe I see Belgium uses the 1800MHz bands so the international one supports it. However, a UK set supports the 800MHz as well, and 2100MHz is supported by both EU and International units.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Oh, a US version won't work, but obviously the international one will.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
So the only thing is warranty and maybe some import duty.

I think I can live with that.

For the American peeps:

Is there another online store I could buy an international version from?

Maybe cheaper then the Amazon one?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
If you're picking up the Euro model, then warranty should be fine...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
The Euro model?

You mean the interntional version?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicorax:
Have you checked if there are any fees in belgium?

In Germany, we have to pay 19% import sales tax (which is equal to our VAT) plus customs fees.

For me that would make at least 640 euros for that device.

The german amazon website shows both, white and black, for 599€

http://www.amazon.de/dp/B00BFUS8C6?t=bfde-21

This could be cheaper for you :)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
So you mean I would have to pay taxes and fees when importing from America.

But when i'm importing from Germany, no taxes (but some fees) have to be paid.

Interesting...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JediDru:
I'd be surprised if they do any warranty work. This is from experience. I bought a galaxy nexus my first, from Singapore. After a week it stopped connecting to mobile data. No one would touch it. Samsung here or there. And too boot the seller offered a warranty that they would honor. It cost me an extra $126 too ship it back only to have them give me the run around for 4 months. Then one day it magically appeared still broken. It is the most expensive battery charger I have ever owned :p.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
Well, I can't be sure what is meant by "international". If it's from Europe, you'll get warranty in Europe.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicorax:
Exactly. I assume, the european countries handle non-EU imports similar, so there will be additional taxes and fees buying outside the EU.

Within the european union (no matter if you buy in Britain, Sweden, Germany or Poland) there will be no additional taxes, and there shouldn't be any fees for that, just like you buy your device in Belgium.

And warranty issues will be easier to handle. When I remember right, I had to send my HD2 for display repair to a company based in the Netherlands.

Buying in the EU has some big advantages ;)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattProductions:
So I should go for the german one, because of the advantages?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truc007:
Hi, I've done it a lot. Just few advices:

1/ pay attention to tax. As soon as it comes from outside EU, you can pay taxes.

But it's not only TVA (sorry, I'm FR) but you have to add additional taxes (custom tax, import tax...). For FR is close to 25-30% of purchase price (own experience ...).

2/ all the taxes are not based on the invoice or the price you declare. It's based on a "Custom" price fixed for your country.

3/ depending on the carrier, you have more or less chances to pay the taxes.

DHL, UPS... 100% chances to pay. It's a service they charge!

From US I was using USPS (US postal services), most of the time you don't pay. It's as fast (letters do not take boat anymore).

4/ Warranty is working by region. The serial nb of the phone gives the country of sales.

You buy in US => warranty is in US. So you can send it back, take a plane. All this is expensive.

Take into account that you can't complain so much, the seller knows it.

5/ The deal is made under seller's country's laws. And you don't know them... US can be ok, asia is different.

If you don't speak the local language, complain is also very difficult.

6/ You can have surpises with the product... the Chinese HTC One has no google apps... depending of the country you import from you will lose LTE (some care) but also 3G (a lot care). For ex, in china we have 3 providers, only one is EU compatible. For US it's the same, you may lose 4G and 3G.

Of course, taking into account all of this, if the price difference is big enough, go import.

For such a phone, just losing the warranty we have in EU worth some bucks/euros...

I'm in asia now... we have very good warranty and laws in EU!

I advise you to search internet for a good price in EU. If you still want to import, I can send you one from China... with a SD slot ;)

I think for small amounts (< few thousands), if it's not 30-50% cheaper, do not import. Or, you have to buy bellow taxe exemption price (depend of each country, few hundred euros).
