[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajnus:
Hi guys,

I have an issue with memory space on SD.

When I check usage in ES explorer or in android I can see that only 1.95GB is free and 10.97 is used. But when I check usage of /sdcard it is 5.22GB

Where did the rest of GBs disappeared? I tried to find hidden files but there is nothing significant.

How can I found what is using the rest of my memory? How to clean it? I have tried with some cleaning apps

but with no success.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max1001:
/sdcard is only the storage you see if you didn't root. Android has other files and folders that's not apart of sdcard.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFariax:
Hi

The 8GB or 16GB that come with the device are just the total.

To these we must subtract that used by the operating system.

In a nexus of 16G, only 11G is available to the user, the rest uses Android for your stuff.

I hope I have helped you and excuse my English, Google translate helps me.

Saludos!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
This is why you don't buy the 8GB but also why you should invest on 16GB, they're trying to promote cloud computing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajnus:
Try to read my post one more time.

I have 16GB nexus. Around 11GB is available for storage. I have files in total around 5GB but system shows only 1.9GB free. What is using the rest of the storage?

Try flashing back to stock and see what happens. Backup all data of course.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajnus:
How is this going to help me? I know I can format SD but I am trying to find out what is occupying memory.

console -> ./Android 2506248 KB -> 2566397952 Bytes -> 2.39GB

ES exp ->Android 1.19GB -> 1275463754 Bytes -> diff=1290934198 Bytes=1.2GB

It seems that amount of memory is some how doubled????

Am I seeing this wrong or?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tykate:
It'll help by erasing EVERYTHING on your phone so the usage will be quite reasonable.

Why to erase or change ROM? It is enough to format sdcard... but I want to know the reason...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragunov:
I am having the exact same issue.

I have the 16GB variant, and after a clean Google stock rom flash, it sees only 5,27GB, just like being an 8GB variant.

How is this possible?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajnus:
bah, I have reading yesterday and today a lot about this but I cannot find a problem. Some people also have this issue.

1. /sdcard/ (along with /root/ directory and other system-level directory)

2. /storage/emulated/0/

3. /storage/emulated/legacy/

4. /storage/sdcard0/

All of those folders have same memory usage and amount of files 3.38GB but yet 8.96GB is being used, and only 3.96Gb free out of 12.93GB.

What is using 5GB of space I do not know....

EDIT:

When I check properties of a Andorid folder:

1.7GB 1826870517

2811 Files 580 Folders

When I check in console:

3584128kB->3.41GB

3392 Files

When I went on file level...

17952kB->17.53 MB

4249006B->4.05 MB

4934876B->4.70 MB

So directory usage is double then file usage.... how is that?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragunov:
Hello Rajnus,

Since it seemed that we were the ONLY ones having this issue with our device, and no solution could be seen @ the end of the tunnel, I have sent my LG N4 to LG for service.

The verdict was that the memory chip on the main PCB was faulty, and they replaced it under warranty. I sent it to LG in the morning, and received it the same day in the afternoon.

Phone works flawlessly now, I suggest you take this step.

All the best!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajnus:
Txn for the info.

Did you got a new phone or just new memory?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragunov:
Nope, unfortunately I did not get a new phone, they just replaced the main PCB, which, of course, affected the device IMEI as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rajnus:
Well, I will return to stock ROM and return it to the shop. There is big chance to get a new one because in Austria they do not bother to repair phones...

The op could be running into the same thing, if I understand the problem correctly, or there are cwm backups taking up additional space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragunov:
I already tried the described methods the night before taking it to LG without results.

I even installed AParted to check overall available space, and it too showed ~5,9GB.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sabbath88:
I suppose that you have root and custom recovery. Did u check how much space takes all of the backups? info about it is no avaible from android. Just check in recovery, If u use CWM, check option "free unused backup data". Give me feadback if it works for you.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] music_man185:
i need help deciding on a rugged case. i've read mixed reviews on all. my main concern is drop protection.

the lifeproof seems nice and slim, but i'm worried it wont provide enough drop protection

i currently have a otterbox defender on my razr maxx, and it is my favorite case. however, i've never dropped it, so i can't comment on the drop protection. i thought for sure it would be my go-to case for the s3, but i've read many people say that otterbox dropped the ball on the defender for the s3. stating that drops cause the screen to break and the screen protector is lifted too far from the screen. i'm aware that the silicone stretches out over time, and i'm ok with that. since otterbox has terrific customer service. is the defender really that bad of a case for the s3?

i also have a trident kraken for my maxx. it is a nice stylish case, but i never use it because it is very slippery and hard to hold. the s3 seems to have a different design that might not be so slippery. but i also haven't read as many reviews for it as some of the others.

i've always seen the griffin survivor cases in stores, but only for iphones. they look very nice and rugged, but i dont have any experience with one. it would seem to offer the same protection as the defender. one concern i have is the port covers seem loose. like they would come open every time you pulled the phone out of your pocket.

the ballistic hardcore seems to be the same design as the defender and survivor.

the otterbox armor seems like it would be a great case. but many drop tests on youtube show the case constantly coming open upon impact. and many reviews complain about sound quality.

i will probably also get a UAG case for weekends, but for now, i'm more concerned on more rugged cases.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Speedin07si:
Otterbox Armor gets my vote, it's a beast of a case. I've had the Griffin survivor and trident Kraken. Both great cases, but the trident case the plastic eventually broke on a drop, and the kickstand rattled like crazy. The Griffin survivor was a great case, but i got tired of opening a flap to take pictures.

As far as the Defender case it never impressed me and it's not dust proof.

In the end no case can protect your phone from every single drop. It comes down to luck.

Sent from Under water
[Galaxy S III Accessories] music_man185:
Do you have problems with the sound quality with the armor? And how does the survivor compare to the defender? Since they use the same technology. The silicone looks a little beefier on the survivor.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Speedin07si:
Sound quality for me is good enough for me, you can tell a difference but i either got use to it or it went away.

The survivor and defender are no where near the same imo. The survivor's exterior has a lot more grip to it. And as i said before the defender is not dust/dirt proof, the survivor is.

The survivor is also water resistant, meaning it could take a light rain, but not a submerging.

My armor case saved my phone from a 1 story drop onto rocks, I've taken it swimming multiple times. Also it has to be the easiest case to take on and off when needed.

But every drop is different, the only thing a case will do is provide a extra barrier. If dropped just at the right angle anything can break.

People put a lot of false hope in cases and then try to blame the manufacturer when the phone breaks.

Sent from Under water
[Galaxy S III Accessories] 1slow4G:
none of the above. If i needed serious drop protection again, i would go with bodyglove toughsuit case. even the slimmer version has great protection, called the shocksuit. Ive had them both
[Galaxy S III Accessories] BigMosley:
Armor case for me as well.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] music_man185:
any experience with the other cases mentioned? or is the armor the only one you've tried? comparisons would be nice.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] aybarrap1:
I have had the defender, commuter, ballistic SG MAXX, and Lifeproof as of now. Ballistic and defender did their job well but did not care for the silicone stretching. Commuter works well considering. Lifeproof has been great this far. No major tumbles so I cannot vouch for how well it stands up to concrete or asphalt in major drops but it is waterproof and sound quality is good.

According to your experience what's the best modem for Note 2?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] retrorom:
That depends on where you live and your carrier coverage. So even if you install the one "made" for your country that doesn't mean it's the "best" for you.

Personally I do good with DMG1. Be aware though that you can brick your phone by switching modems. Always have a backup of your EFS ready. And if you flash DMG1 you can't go back to the one you have now.

Please look into this thread for more information

Hope this helps

Motorola s11's are great head phones. They'll link up easy with my nexus 7 and look good. You can find them on eBay a lot cheaper than stores like best buy. I paid $45 for them with shipping new.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] Coronado is dead:
I love the S11, though I wish the N7 use apt-x (like my Razr M). But even without, it's the best BT headset I have ever owned.

DO be careful with eBay purchases of them though. Motorola issued a redesign of them a few months ago because the initial bath has an issue where the main band will crack in the middle over time. The new sets have a new material that does not have the issue. You can check by looking under the USB cover for a stamped 'R' above the version number.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] lacrossev:
I have a pair of LG Tone HBS700 as well as a pair of moto S305's. Both work fine though i prefer the Tone better since i wear glasses and over the ear headsets put a bit of pressure on my ears. LG has an updated set called the Tone+ but as Coronado is dead mentioned the N7 doesn't use APT-X, and since I have read some complaints over a shorter range on the +'s compared to the regular Tone, the regular ones are a better deal and work well on the N7. They sit on your collarbone and have small earbuds coming out of them that magnetically stick back in to the headset when they're not in use.

SONY Headset Wireless Pro (now is a new model out) is also good. I use it with my Sony XPERIA S AND Nexus 7 at same time. It has multipoint connection, so you can wath videos on Nexus 7 and when a call is coming in, it switched automaticly to the phone. You can use this headset also as FM-Radio and mp3 player.

I have Motorola S10-HD, and absolutely LOVE it!! I bought mine a while back from 1 Sale a Day for $25 or $30(don't remember). Didn't even realize it could be used for phone calls when I bought it, I bought it simply for media. I've used it with my Note 2 for many phone calls, and no one knew I wasn't talking directly in to the phone until I told them. I have it paired with my Note 2, Evo LTE, Asus Infinity, and N7 FHD. I can switch between devices with ease, and battery life is great! I've never killed the battery before, just charge it once a week so it isn't ever dead when I want to use it! Definitely the BEST BlueTooth headset I've ever owned, and I've been buying a new one once a year for about 10 years!! I'm so pleased and impressed with the S10-HD that I've been looking at buying the Motorola S11 Flex HD now, and start using the S10-HD just while I'm cutting grass.

Here is what the Motorola S10-HD looks like. The band goes around the back of your neck. If fit correctly, the band really doesn't even sit on your neck, it just kinda hovers/floats. I often just rest it around my neck when I'm not listening to it. It is super lightweight and I'll forget it's there a lot of times.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] user602:
If you've enjoyed the S10-HD, I definitely recommend the S11 Flex HD. Just keep in mind that you won't want to go back to the S10, even for cutting grass... The S11 brings vast improvements in sound for music/media, is much better balanced (physically), and is great for calls like the S10 (I have owned both).

[MENTION=247385]gogol[/MENTION] if you haven't done so already, be sure to check with the airlines you use to see if Bluetooth headsets are permitted in flight before you buy. Some airlines are happy to sell you WiFi access but won't let you get away with Bluetooth.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
Cool, glad to know there's a vast improvement. I'm happy with the S10-HD, so anything better sounding will be awesome!

Lol, I'll still use the S10-HD when I'm cutting grass. I think I'll be able to deal with the inferior sounding of the the two for a couple of hours, just to be able to keep my S11 Flex HD clean an flawless! :D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] player911:
The S11 doesn't seem to be a big enough of improvement to warrant $100 when my S10 work just fine. The S11 also seems like there are more areas to cause issues like cracking or tangles.

Good to know there are no issues though.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] stanglifemike:
Which model of the S11?

I'm not sure, as I haven't looked at them too much, but I believe there is the S11, S11 HD, S11 Flex, and then also S11 Flex HD. Not sure on that, just what I was thinking. I know there were some issues with the band cracking on one of the models, but I believe that Motorola released a revised version. Maybe the Flex HD is the revised version/model that resolves the cracking issue? I'm intrigued now, guess it's time for me to start searching an reading.

LG Tone+

I've owned both the Motorola S10 and S11 headphones. The first pair I had bought was about 2 years ago and I loved them but dropped them in the toilet. Then I bought the S11 model which was just a good but eventually the power button stopped working on them. I ended up breaking them trying to fix the button myself. The power button was somewhat of a common issue and there was a DIY fix online that I tried. Just recently though I went with the LG Tone+ headset, and these I absolutely love! The Motorola ones never sat well in my ears and weren't that loud. The LG ones are great because they're like regular ear buds, you can really get them inside of your ear. If you're going on a flight I would highly recommend the LG. They will provide much better noise cancellation. The only con with the LG pair is the wire for the ear buds. They could easily be ripped off if you're not careful.

+1 for LG Tone+

I use the LG Tone+ as well and I absolutely love it. I had a Sony HBS older model and I absolutely hated them for having no depth in the audio. Some songs sounded horrid. LG Tone+ are a breath of fresh air. They are in-ear earphones and fit nicely in the ear canal. Instead of keeping them around my neck, I rest them under my Shirt's collar. I can't even feel them. I have them paired to my Nexus 7, my Galaxy S3 and my work phone.

Tone+ also have inbuilt presets (which can be activated by pressing the volume up down buttons simultaneously). I use these quite a lot too. Some people prefer to keep the default preset active and use the equalizers on the phone.

I love the Tone+ and would highly recommend it.
