I can't say much for the case being on the nexus 5, but I know for a fact it's no good on my iPod touch, especially when you're taking it out of your pocket, it flops around. It is good for drops though, I'll give it that
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thorvindr:
This seems like a common problem, but I haven't seen this specific form of it, so I'll lay it out.

Running CM10.1 I get the common Play Store error "insufficient storage available" when I try to update apps. I've recently noticed that it only happens with apps with "Google Inc" listed as the developer. Everything else works fine. I've tried wiping every cache I can find. I've tried booting in recovery and wiping the cache (including the Dalvik cache) that way.

I've uninstalled the updates to the Play Store app and related system framework. I have not tried uninstalling the updates to any other Google apps, because I'm currently unable to update or install any Google app.

As much as I hate to admit it, I've even tried Lucky Patcher. It has worked for me in the past with similar issues, but not this time.

A cursory Google seems to suggest that this problem is gone (or at least MUCH less common) in CM11, but CM11 hasn't been released for the Note 2 yet.

Does anyone have any advice? I don't want to reflash, because that's not a solution. I'll just have the same problem again in a month. If nothing else works, I will reflash, but I really don't want to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
CM11 is available for the NOTE 2-------->>> HERE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thorvindr:
Didn't say it wasn't available. Said it hasn't been released. I don't do nightlies or other unstables. Don't have time to reflash every few days to keep up with big fixes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
The nightlies are pretty stable.. I was on one for several days without MAJOR issues..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thorvindr:
Maybe I'll give that a try. If I have to flash, I'd really rather be certain that it will solve my problem without creating new ones. If I flash a nightly, then decide I need to go back to the 10.1 release, I'll feel like I wasted a day trying to get blood from a stone since I could have just reflashed my current rom and only set everything up once.

It's not the flashing that bothers me. I'll flash four devices before breakfast and not even blink. I actually enjoy the hackery. It's the hour of work flipping through all the system settings and installing apps to get things running the way I like them that makes me want to flash as infrequently as possible.

But two important questions remain. First (and most relevant): is this issue (inability to update Google apps) as common and crippling in CM 11 as it is in CM 10? Second: does CM 11 restore the "move app to SD card" button to the app manager?

To be honest, that's more important to me. Less relevant to this conversation, but more important to my workflow. It's actually a dealbreaker. I love CM, but I'll flash back to CleanVZW before I load another OS that doesn't give me that functionality.
[General Questions and Answers] oohrekt:
Alright, so I have 4.3.1(cyanogenmod 10.2). But my S4 is bricked, is it possible to flash it back to 4.3 via Kies?

Also: only thing I can access is download mode at the moment. Also my carrier is T-mobile.

Every time I try to get into recovery mode it just reboots.

seems nothing special ( my i9500 S4 gets way better battery life ) :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] robstunner:
yikes, Might want to keep my N5 in this case. Hopefully its pre-release related.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Granted battery life should get better with cycles and that this is a pre production model I would take this with a slight grain of salt. I don't expect battery life to be much better than the S4, its most likely similar.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
Stellar is what they say it is.
[Galaxy S 5 General] robstunner:
*so we can't wait to put the Galaxy S5 through our battery test, and see if these claims hold water.

Is what they directly claim
[Galaxy S 5 General] CLARiiON:
http://t.co/oqITJQpP8C
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Thats impressive especially at max brightness. The S4 acheived 10 hours of video playback with 50% screen brightness so this is a pretty good improvement although im more interested in web browsing time on the S5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] CLARiiON:
Samsung mentioned during their event 10h of browsing over LTE and 12h video playback.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
That is looking quite promising after the S5 exceeded the video playback estimate they stated in the event.

If the S5 manages to get 10 hours of LTE web browsing, that would be exceptional and I don't think any other smartphone would even come close to that.

I can't wait for more reviews and tests to come out.
[Galaxy S 5 General] RaptorMD:
So they list the "bad" as, Stability issues, Plasticy design, Some gimmicky features. WTF is it with people today. First of all its a pre-production unit, not a final product so to claim it has stability issues is bull, wait for the final product or don't write a review. Second learn how to spell since "Plasticy" isn't a word, but "Plastic" is. So you hate plastic, well Apple used it for years and did so again so STFU. Finally the gimmicky features, to the reviewer they are to others they are not so its subjective at best and you don't have to use them.

At least with Android you can choose the default apps and are NOT forced to use the native apps if you don't want to, unlike iOS.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Wow dude chill, their review is their point of view, don't be so defensive.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
I would take that in a positive light instead of the negative that you are viewing it as. In today's society, if a reviewer were to state a device has no downsides or cons, everyone would label them as a "fanboy" and would disregard there opinion from then onwards.

So what do reviewers do when a device has no downsides, hypothetically speaking for the S5, of course, the reviewer takes a few balloon statements such as "stability issues" & "gimmicky features" and writes that as the cons.

Considering the cons listed are very vague and can be interpreted hundreds of different ways, the reader can't really challenge the reviewer on these statements.

[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Thanks for the video. The more I see these vids, the more I think I should hold off and wait for the G3,Note 4 or iphone 6. The S5 is solid but I can pick up an S4 for half the price and enjoy the same features....decisions decisions.....
[Galaxy S 5 General] omersak:
The GS5 is stellar but - nothing compares to the Note series. NOTHING. Amazing series of phones. Why did you part ways with the note 3 so quick?

If the GS5 camera isn't a huge leap over the Note 3 then I'll go for the Note 3, eyes closed.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Why not wait for the true-next-gen Note 4 then? SD805/64bit Exynos, QHD screen (makes sense ~5.8"), possibly 4GB RAM and 20MP camera with OIS... just 6 months and it's out.

In the meantime, the Note 3 is a great phablet choice, and the S5 looks like an excellent flagship phone. Neither is nex-gen just yet.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Because I change phones all the time and I like to try them all. But this year I'm going to slow down. I think the S5, Z2 and M8 are solid phones but all 3 are incremental updates, there are not that much better than their predecessors. I may sit this first half of the year out and wait for the Note 4, G3 or iphone 6. I think those are gonna kick some serious butt.

Does anyone know if the S5 is a lagfest like the S4 was? The S4 was by far the most laggy device I have ever used. This and headphone volume are the two things I question the most on the S5. I hope the annoying high volume may damage your hearing is gone too.
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
Initial reports say the S5 is as quick as a stock Nexus 5 on Dalvik. The headphone volume thing is related to Android itself, it isnt a Samsung incorporated feature so unfortunately it will still be there on the S5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] plasmastate:
Wow. I thought they skipped exynos for GS5 altogether this time around? Any more details about octa folks? Also, what gpu is it using? Hopefully its a true octa with HMP.

So please explain how come the demo units of the S4 were louder than the HTC one but yet retail models were no where near as loud

next up how come the iphones, htc one and previously the htc one x/x+/s and now the m8 are allowed to be so loud? they are much louder than any samsung product

---------- Post added at 11:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

Every android phone has that volume warning but the s4 infact any samsung phone aren't even the loudest anyway, iphones and htcs since the one s are much louder
[Galaxy S 5 General] CLARiiON:
Well, nothing is future-proof.

http://www.engadget.com/2014/02/20/which-android-phones-win-at-gaming/

Exynos actually does pretty good at gaming. It might not compare against 330, but not too far either. Also, performance is expected to increase with new drivers. Compared to GS4, the GPU perf is doubled with Mali-T628.

[Galaxy S 5 General] puremind:
it is not true. There are significant battery life gains between S600 and S801. This is a major upgrade, battery being what most users wish most in their next Smartphone.

Also all 2014 Smartphones have a signficant increase is battery capacity and Screen size. Also the display improvement on the S5 is massive. And it has two new sensors (pulse and fingerprint)

The only thing that doesn't improve much is the softare on the Galaxy devices. The TW reskinning and design is fail in my opinion, this is what gives the Impression that the upgrade is incremental...

If Samsung had brought a more premium design with a slick Software layer similar to Sense 6 and improved camera app, there would be a better feeling of improvement.

But Samsung design and software is still same old same old, so people are slowing down and getting bored.

What else do you expect from a next gen device? Samsung is never going to be as bold as HTC in Terms of changing up their Smartphone lineup. They have a receipee that works and they are keen to maintain low production costs to sustain high profitability. This is disappointing, as we all expect to be wowed by a new design and snappier Software, but I don't see it coming as long as Samsung's market share stays where it is.

If you want more from Samsung you need to look elswhere for smaller bezels, better sound, bigger batters or better designed Software, buy something else and put pressure on them...
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Your opinion is subjective just like mine. There is no true or not true. Your opinion isn't true to me.
[Galaxy S 5 General] calvin35:
The conclusions section of this review pretty much sums up my feelings regarding the S5. It is an excellent phone and once the reviews start coming in people will realize that while it doesn't look much different than the S4 it is actually much better.

M8 vs S5

http://youtu.be/ZZOOcf3xRzU

Also a detailed review here
[Galaxy S 5 General] puremind:
Which part of my argumentation do you disagree with? I partly agreed with you (because of incremental software and design steps and no improvement on sound or bezel size) and partly disagreed because of the big jump in performance in the following areas:

Display quality (this is miles ahead of S2, S3 and S4), there was never a bigger improvement

Processor: The differential between S600 and S801 is huge and since S801 is on a completely new 21nm manufacturing process this will have the most batter gains of any previous generation change.

New sensors

Water resistance

Which areas are insufficiently improved to you that I have not mentioned in my post?

Camera?

Anything else?

As I said, the dominant player is rarely the most innovative. We saw that with Apple when they stopped innovating in several areas. Now Samsung is market leader and there is more to hope for from the underdogs - Sony, LG, HTC and Apple with their iPhone 6.

To me the Sony Z2 looks to be combining the advantages of the all competitors:

High res camera

Big screen LG Like

Big dual front facing speakers - HTC Like

Water resistance - Sony Like

Well performaning software - HTC Like

Largest battery - LG Like

Thinnest horizontal Bezel realtive to screen size, similar to HTC close after LG and ahead of Samsung and Asus

Premium design - HTC Like
[Galaxy S 5 General] noideaforusername:
21nm? It is still using the same old 28nm.

And I think he was referring to the part about touchwiz, which as it seems by the performance (from videos I see in youtube) and size of the system (it uses 2.35GB less than the 1 on the S4) they improved it greatly!
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
U said the touchwiz redesign is fail....I completely disagree here. And its a matter of opinion. And I don't think you understood my initial post, I was saying that the S5 is an incremental update over the S4. Yes it has a better SoC, better display and better camera because its the newest/latest version. But my point was that its not really worth upgrading from the S4. That is subjective. And you said that it wasn't. I'd like you to prove your case.

You wanna compare the internals, I'm comparing the whole package together. We're not on the same page.
[Galaxy S 5 General] puremind:
It is not true that I do not want to compare the whole package. I took a holistic approach in my post talking to the key aspects.

I didn't say that it wasn't worth upgrading from the S4. You said that! I said that some users can feel underwhelmed by the spec-only improvement and would have expected a full Software redesign and overall improved exterior appearance.

The reason why I say the Touchwizz redesign is fail is because the design is inconsistent between the new icons and the existing ones. That's the basic rule of web design - you should use the same design language across all of the content to create a holistic feeling.

It doesn't mean it is ugly, but in my opinion it is too feeble an attempt, as it doesn't look at all software elements to make them look more cohesive. It is not a total revamp. Also, it still feels a bit old fashioned in terms of color choices and design language. I think we have themers and coders in this forum that would have done a better job, but that's my opinion as you say...
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Smh....My friend, read my post and understand what I am writing. Yes I said that it was an incremental update not you, that's what my post was. And I didnt say that you don't want to compare the whole package, I said that that's how I was comparing it while you were telling me S801 vs S600 and so on. Dude I mean come on now....

Are you telling me that I'm wrong saying that touchwiz redesign is good. If yes on what grounds? Please explain.
[Galaxy S 5 General] puremind:
Re-read your own post. This is what you wrote:

You said I didn't look at the phone in its entirety, but what is a sum if not a multitude of individual elements? Your "sum" feeling surely can be broken down to multiple factors.

We are rational beings, whether consciously or subconsciously we make rational judgements as to whether an upgrade to a new phone is worth it or not.

So I am asking you, what part of the whole experience make it not so worthwhile to upgrade? I have mentioned a few but I am interested in the aspects that leave you wanting more...

Or in other words, what additional features or performance gains would have made you change your mind for you to consider it worthwhile? Can you describe the holistic experience that would have made it worthwhile, as a whole package, so that you would have said: "this is it, I feel it, I can see myself upgrading".

What I am getting at is that maybe you are just happy with your current phone and you do not need any extra performance gains or improvements at all but can see yourself keeping what you have? But then this would be less a critique to Samsung and more of a satisfaction statement. I am just curious.

At the end of the day, this is a mature market now and all devices are pretty good, so even though the performance gains in absolute terms are impressive, the use to the consumers is marginal.

One area I think where huge improvements would be of great value to consumers is battery life. This is why I am waiting for battery tests with impatience - this area is the area within modern-day smartphones that continues to be lacking.

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

I tend to agree with that. I think many people are underestimating this generation of smartphones. It is not only the S4, I see that on every forum, mainly because the "801" doesn't seem like a big improvement on the paper. But all tests so far point to the opposite. It is the generation that sees the most improved performance compared to previous years.
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
Absolutely. But first, I will upgrade to the S5 cause right now I'm using a flip phone. Any smartphone will be an upgrade. But I previously used the S4 and that's why I say its not a huge upgrade.

What additional features or performance gains would have made me change my mind? Well a completely new design of the phone would have been great. Like the One X to the One type of drastic change. That's the main thing. When I purchase a new device, I want it to look and feel newer. A better placement of the speakers would have been great also. The internals are just fine. 3 GB of ram would have been nice. Now whether its necessary or not that's a different story but it would have been cool nevertheless.

Once again,I will be upgrading to the S5, it'll most likely be my primary phone until the G3/Iphone 6 and note 4 arrive. But there's a reason why MANY ppl were disappointed when the S5 was announced, its was the year where ppl thought Samsung was going to reinvent itself.
