[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
games are installed to your "sd".

apps2sd hasnt been done on a nexus since the nexus s days. thats because they only gave a limited amount a space that you can install apps to. nowadays youre only limited to the amount of total storage space the phone comes with. and every time i restore a backup, my game data gets restored as well, so i dont have to redownload it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Twrp backs up /system and /data ignoring the sdcard 'section'

Moving your Titanium Backups will do nothing to save your space from your backup because the backup is saved on your sdcard section

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
if its better for you, clear the data for those large games then make a backup. then redownload the data.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zivonche:
ok thanks

i cleared the play music cash save myself a :1.5G :D

but still data is 2.9G

i am looking for the other large files right now

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zivonche:
on that you need to add the /system which is 1G itself so it is still close to 4 giga total
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zivonche:
it seems that you are not correct

i cheack my /data folder size using root explorer and its 8.45G that means WTRP backing up only some folders inside /data

anyone knows what are those folders?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theesotericone:
My CWM backups are just south of 1 gig. Granted I don't have a lot of large apps like games on there. With CWM I just mount OTG via recovery(actually it self mounts) and backup to my Meenova card reader. Its got a 64GB micro sdcard in it so space isn't a concern. It might be an option for you. You can also just use a cheap USB to Micro USB cable and a spare memory stick that most people have laying around these days.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartinMo:
You can do fine grained backups via Titanium backup if you don't want backups of the whole system. Otherwise just plugin an external USB stick and save your backup there. You just have to mount it. I've got enough space on my external sd in my galaxy note 2 so I never tried but I just had a look in TWRP and I saw that I just have to select the destination for the backup on the otg device so I think it would solve your problems and you should just try it. Hope this can help you. best regards Martin

Please tell me you haven't been dumb enough to check the properties of /data

/data/media/0 is a mount point of the SD card partition 8.45GB is what everything on your phone is minus /system

And no sdcard by default doesn't get backed up in twrp when you back up /data that mount point will be empty.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmilnerrr:
I have an unlocked gs4 from Verizon and I am attempting to use it on Bell Mobility in Canada. I have an LTE sim card which I know works for LTE because I tried it on a note2 which is locked to bell. My apn is set up properly and I can get data but only H or H+. When I try to change the preferred connection to cdma/lte my signal bars go away and they are replaced with the no signal symbol, circle with a line through it. It must be a setting in the phone somewhere but I'm out of ideas. Hoping someone can help or at least point me in the right direction.

I'm a noob when it comes to adroid so go easy on me lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmlucht:
i had to download the phone info app and change the radio to lte/gsm auto prl and lte started working after reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
You did this on a Verizon S4 and got LTE on another carrier?

Verizon phones are 3g unlocked but only have LTE bands for Verizon LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmilnerrr:
So there's no possible way to get LTE from another carrier using a Verizon device?

Any way to change the bands?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
As far as I know the chip itself is only capable of supporting those bands. Hardware capabilities that can't be changed by software. Not 100% positive.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cmilnerrr:
So get this...

I planned on re-selling the phone to my american friend who happened to be on verizon. So I did the factory data reset to send him a nice clean device. Just for kicks i decided to try one more time to connect to lte. I put the in the Bell LTE sim, configured APN, and selected LTE network connection... and nothing. However, there is an extra setting in there that says "Global", which was there before the reset but never worked. Pressed that... BOOM!.. LTE.

Don't know how or why it worked this time, but I'm happy.

After reboot all its OK! It's hardware or software related? Need to contact Motorola or maybe flash custom ROM or waiting official update? Maybe driver related?

A reboot fix is fine. But this glitch shouldn't be there in the first place. If possible do a factory reset and see of the issue still persist. If it does, ask for a replacement since I'm sure its under warranty.

Also, have you changed the language input by any chance?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vkk178:
Try closing/killing the app that you ran before you got this . Most probably this app either a game / Video app has used up all the Graphics memory .

Yes..the phone is under warranty since is still locked and stock..but i prefer to avoid warranty replacement because i think would be too slow..I hope it is a software issue.. I'll try to do a factory reset next..

I'll try that..it happens only with text fonts.. And only for one app.. If force close the app it runs normally next..by the way..seems a software issue..not hardware graphic artifacts..right?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
I have a Tasker profile for car mode which disables the keyguard when plugged into a USB power source. This is for use when in the car and the phone is in landscape mode. The issue I'm having is whenever I first try to use the navigation bar or pie after unlocking, I have to first press the home button, then phone will first have to toggle back to portrait then snap back to landscape before I can use the navbar/ring/pie. If I press any button/navring/pie before pressing the home button it will do nothing. Does anyone have any idea on how to stop this? It's been a KitKat issue since I got the phone at launch. Never had this issue with ICS/JellyBean using the same profile.

you should really give some more details, at least which recovery you're using.

Anyway,

1- are you mounting it in recovery?

2- for best chance with OTG, use FAT32 formatted stick

or just use adb push or adb sideload.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westentertainer:
yes its on fat 32

i mount it in recovery it states not mounted TWRP 3.3 ..WHY CAN I SEE MY ROOT WHEN CONECTED TO PC ? CHEERS
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
:confused:

do you mean 2.6.3.3 for M7_U/UL (and you have an HTC One M7_U or UL model right)?

then in TWRP, use either:

adb push <name of rom>.zip /data/media/0/

or

start sideload in TWRP, and adb sideload <name of rom>.zip
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] westentertainer:
so forget otg and adb into side load?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkk71:
well if OTG is giving you a hard time, for whatever reason (though I used it just recently on TWRP 2.6.3.3 no problems), then yes -> go for a sideload, why waste your time.

and make sure you have the right recovery for your phone!

[G2 General] se1988:
What device were you using before G2, and what made you go for the G2?

What's the best single upgrade on your G2 from your old device? Speed? Camera? Sound?

I'll go first:

I came from Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000, which was a great phone. I just grew tired of having to charge at least twice a day no matter what. The G2 has amazing battery life, also it's faster (obviously) and that eases up on being annoyed by the constant lags of N7000. However, the speaker placement was kinda better on N7000 (back side), at least for when holding the G2 in landscape. My finger tends to block the speaker on the G2, never happened on the N7000. Also, ROM development is awesome on the N7000 (still), which is something I miss on the G2. Luckily Flex 1.5 is fast and stable, never had any problems. Knock on feature: Awesome! Button placement: Awesome! Also, camera on the G2 is an amazing upgrade from the N7000, and that what I think is best about upgrading from N7000.

I'll never look back.
[G2 General] vPro97:
I came from an iPhone 4 and the reason I changed was to get out of Apple's ecosystem.

What opened my eyes for Android was that I bought a Chinese Android tabled and I was overwhelmed with the things I could do with it. Nobody forced you to run one specific software and you could overclock, underclock etc.

Then I realized which kind of prison Apple has put their customers in, and since it was time for a new phone (had my i4 since Q2 2011 and it was becoming laggy) I wanted something awesome.

When I first purchased my iPhone, it could handle virtually EVERY game, but as it grew older it started to lag even with simple games and the whole user experience wasn't as pleasant as before.

So when I was looking for a new phone, I had some requirements:

- Good battery life

- Display Density same as or over my old iPhone

- Good hardware

I really don't use my camera that much, so that wasn't a problem for me at all but it was nice to know it had a 13MP shooter with OIS.

My choices were boiled down to either the Note 3, LG G2 or Nexus 5. I disliked the XPERIA Z1 - no idea why.

I wanted the Note mainly because of the stylus and the split-screen, but it's size and price were a huge turnoff. The Note 3 was about $200 more than G2.

The LG had a nice screen, good size (albeit a tad too big since my fingers are relatively small), great battery life and a smooth UI - and it was cheap too!

The Nexus 5 was the phone I was wanting the very most prior to it's release - Stock android, timely updates and blazing fast. In Denmark, however, you can only get the 16 gb version and many reviews claimed that the battery wasn't really big enough. The Nexus 5 was priced equally to the LG G2.

I was quite unsure about the hardware buttons being placed on the back and the fragility of the phone, but I still purchased it. I haven't regret it (and I won't be doing that anytime soon) and it continues to amaze me.

I was uncertain about the "future-proof"-ment of the Snapdragon 800, but when I saw the announcement of the Snapdragon 805, I figured it wouldn't be that much of an upgrade to the Snapdragon 800 and that the next-gen 64-bit processors wouldn't come before late '14. I plan on keeping my G2 for another two or three years and despite the "slow" updates, I am seriously considering LG as my next phone as well.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
I came from nexus 5.

Main reason was battery and storage. I had 16 gb nexus 5 abs was able to sell it and get a 32 gb g2 for the same price.

Battery also lasts twice as long. On nexus 5 I averaged 4 hours sot on the g2 I get 4 ande still 50 percent left. Its Awesome. I also like the extra features. Stock on nexus 5 got kinda boring. If I want aosp I'll just flash a custom Rom

I came from the GS3. I was a previous crack flasher on the GS3, because there was always a feature I wanted that was only available in custom ROMS. After having the G2 since launch, I've flashed a good number or ROMS, but ALWAYS go back to stock rooted. It has all the features, battery life and reliability I could ever want. I've never been content with any phone I've had stock, but I can honestly say this phone is perfect for me. For once I haven't even looked at what phones are going to be released, I could care less. I've found the phone that does everything I need and it has freed me from the constant wanting of a new phone.
[G2 General] 4ty-phive:
Came from a HTC One X.

Loved this phone, but w/ only 1 gig of ram, the experience wasn't as smooth as I would've liked. I'm a Sense fan and it was a little tough to give that up (I think i'm the only person who loves blinkfeed). When looking for an upgrade, I wanted the best processor I could find for the cheapest money (off contract). This phone was it. Best attribute of this phone has to be the battery. This thing is a beast and very innovative in the way it was designed. I'm also very impressed with the remote app. Very solid app if I say so myself. After spending a few days with this device, it makes my One X feel small in every way. I feel like I have found the device that I can truly stick with for long time.

[G2 General] tee00max:
I have had a journey with cell phones and now I have ended up with the G2 and This device is a straight beast!

I got the iPhone 5S on launch day and then decided I wanted to go back to Android and I traded it for a Note 3. Note 3 really didn't live up to the hype and decided to go back with the 5S. Shortly I just realized how limited ios is and decided the only thing left to try up to the standard of those previous phones is the G2.

I feel this device is better than the N3 by a long shot. The way LG interface handles the OS is phenomenal! Battery life is a beast and I have experienced no lag at all. I haven't got involved with the camera too much but I snapped a few pictures and they have come out great. Installed Nova launcher and SwiftKey and I'm good to go!!!

Well i came from an s4 and have to say the g2 is way bettery, brighter screen faster and way better battery life, only thing i a little annoyed with right now is my screen is cracked again.. i got my g2 from my father he had it dropped it and cracked the screen so i traded him my s4 and replaced the screen on it, well what do you know... it dropped off my night stand on the floor from 2 feet and cracked again... :crying: :rolleyes: i like the little to no Bessie on the side but lg definitional needs to do something about its display, now it does not recognize touch on the lower half. i had a screen protector on and at 1st did not notice it was cracked, i would rather be able to use it with the cracked screen...
