This may not be related, but I think the whole implementation of KernelIOControl function is a bit different on the atom then on most other phones (and PPC in general).

I encountered this when I tried to retrieve the devices UUID with a buffer bigger that 16. On most other devices it should be 36 or 40 (which actually matches, by size if not by content, the MSDN documentation) but on atom it was 52 (if I am not mistaken).

Very odd.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I had not noticed that, its a long time since I used the id but my old code still works. Its probably because I use a huge buffer the difference was not causing any problems.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisnewton:
Hi all

Just got my 2nd nexus 5, first one went back for touch screen issues. Got 2nd one and this has problem too.

If someone sends me a text the pulse notification light pulses once and that's it. No repeat. However after that if someone sends me a text it works as it should, ie repeats every 10 seconds.

Seems very random as to when it works properly. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks all

Chris
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Yes, people have this problem on stock rom.. It appears randomly though and not as often as you're getting. A restart fixes it... Are you using Light Flow or any app to control the LED??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisnewton:
No will light flow solve this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
May be, May be not. Even light flow has some random problems with LED notifications... For some people it works flawlessly, for some it doesn't... Only way is to try it out...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisnewton:
Trying it now seems to work ok. Strange that my last nexus didn't suffer this problem. Wounder if Google are aware of this issue?

Also on a side note not sure if it's related but I'm sure my first nexus 5 did a software update when I first took it out of the box, my new one did not do that.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vin4yak:
Yes, I think they are aware of it... I remember reading it somewhere around XDA about it.. Can't find a link to it though.. I guess we will just have to wait for the update and see... FYI, a reboot fixes the issue temporarily..

It didn't update because the ones which were manufactured in January came with 4.4.2 Out of the box which is the latest update! ;)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisnewton:
Thanks for your reply mate, for me when I reboot the first message does not work, then they seem ok after that, that's just for sms, I get no notifications at all with whatsapp etc, however light flow seems to work ok at moment but would be nice if Google did a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] KSprec:
This was my first time rooting an S4. I installed safestrap and installed Hyperdrive rom. My issue is that my internal storage is completely full. It says that misc files is taking up 15gb of space and it's system memory. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
I'm in the same boat. Trying to find out if I can install HyperDrive over the Stock ROM without bricking the phone. I'm hoping that will free up a lot of space as I would need to wipe the slot prior to installing. Just a little worried about doing it.

One thing I did do was boot into Stock and remove all apps, updates, and as much stuff as I could. This didn't have any effect on the loss of space. I know that while digging through posts on these forums I saw a lot of outrage when the S4 first came out about all the bloatware that took up a good 6gigs of space on a stock phone.

Also when I did the backup of the Stock ROM onto the SD card, I made sure that I moved it off the SD Card and onto an external Hard Drive for safe keeping and to free up some space on my SD Card. I also deleted the HyperDrive install as well since it is 1.xGigs of space on the SD card.

Sorry I don't have anything really to contribute, but would be interested in hearing if you find a way to free up some space as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
I run all of my roms in stock slot because of that very reason. I have a stock rooted backup I keep on my computer so it doesn't accidentally get deleted from SD card and to also save space on my external. I haven't had any problems at all with running any tw based custom roms in the stock slot. Just make sure your base is compatible with the roms you flash. HD15 requires mj7 or mk2 just do like normal and flash the modules after the install and before booting into the rom.

Profit and enjoy the extra space [emoji1][emoji106]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
The best way to do this is to Odin to stock, root, install safestrap, copy System/lib/modules folder to ext SD or comp. Back up stock slot in safe strap recovery. Then wipe stock slot and flash hyperdrive 15 and mk2 or mj7 (according to your build) modules. Reboot then replace system/lib/modules with the one you copied from stock and Fix it's permissions.

---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

Your post confuses me. I tried flashing hyperdrive to stock then modules, and i had no wifi. And this is directly from hashcodes safestrap thread

.*DON'T RESTORE A CUSTOM ROM-SLOT BACKUP TO THE STOCK ROM. THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BRICK YOUR PHONE.

The only way I've had it work is the method I posted above.

Have you successful restored a tw custom rom to stock slot or are you just assuming it will work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Ah. Gotcha. I must have just gotten lucky then haha.

I will omit that so nobody runs into that.

I did restore from slot 1 to stock. But what I did was backup slot 1, wipe everything on stock slot, restore backup to stock slot then flash modules.

Like I said though I must have gotten lucky.

But why would you want to copy the files in the lib folder? Isn't that the same as flashing the modules before booting into the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
All I know is that I tried just flashing modules and wifi wouldn't even turn on. When I researched it the solution above is the one I found.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Hmm. Well that is good to know for future flashes. I guess I probably wouldn't have been looking for a solution like that unless I had that problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
Like you said, you were lucky. Because if the module zip were the same, why would one need to get the unmodified one from a stock rom rather than downloading the one from the safestrap thread? I'm guessing the module zip is meant to work on rom slots and not the stock. Idk how yours worked, but to the OP : flashing to stock slot is not recommended by hash and you won't get any support/help from him as he states in his thread, so proceed at your own risk. But the above method has worked for me and others . Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
Yeah. I have the patience to work with it. Plus I been with safestrap since it first came out for the razr so I knew what I was getting into when I unfortunately had to do a warranty claim on my mdk due to a faulty touch screen digitizer.

If I get it screwed up too bad I just start over with Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] McTerry:
Flashed HyperDrive RLS15 over the stock ROM this morning. Flashed the Modules before reboot and after install. Only issue I had was TouchWiz Home crashing on occasion, but a kindly soul on here told me it looked like it was an issue associated with restoring data. Although I didn't restore data, I also chose to just flash over the Stock ROM and use the installers Wipe/Factory Reset option instead of wiping the ROM slot first. All I had to do was boot into recovery with SafeStrap and Wipe the new ROM, reboot, and good to go.

Oh, and the free space on the device using the flashed Stock ROM is now close to 6Gigs! Oh the Glory! Gonna give everything a few days and if it all remains good to go, I'll delete the RLS14 ROM and maybe try some other ROM's out, now that I have room.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gnubian:
glad you got it figured out. Good luck.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amit694:
hello. i have a moto g 16gb version. actually i want to use only 3g at my location. but my phone is set to preferred 3g mode which means that it uses 3g only when 3g signals are good. so there is no option of using only wcdma or 3g. also tried the phone testing app but no gain. plz solve this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arnabbiswasalsodeep:
Settings>more>mobile networks>network mode and change it

(it's in ics menu, don't know about kitkat)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sithu Htun:
Try this.

In the dialer, press *#*#4636#*#*,

choose phone information,

change WCDMA only.

Turn the radio off and on again.

This may help.

Good luck. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amit694:
i have done this metod. when i choose any option there it automatically changes to gsm only mode.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sithu Htun:
So check that did you tick "Use only 2G to save battery" option in mobile network setting.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amit694:
actually this option is not there in my phones setting. and i have said that my phone sometimes go to 3g mode when i move to better 3g network coverage.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amit694:
i have changed the mode to 3g . but no help.
[General Questions and Answers] fdecker:
I am trying to root my Galaxy S3 SGH-T999 using 4.3. I choose option 5 of skipsoft android utilities to automatically create a custom recovery, root, install utils, etc. It creates the custom recovery with Odin, then says it is going to reboot into recovery. It does, but skipsoft doesn't see it. It seems to be the android recovery. So I choose option 7 to rename the android recovery and it gives that same error. It doesn't see that I am connected in recovery mode.

Thanks! Heres is 1000 points (not redeemable for anything sadly ;)) It seems like even with the same exact phone, the process is different with each new OS release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Every GALAXY launch we go through the same BS. No 32GB option available, and this time no GOLD or BLUE color options available. Why? Why? Why? Is it really that difficult to include all the colors with 32GB? Now those of us who want to get the phone on launch are once again screwed just like we were last year and the year before on 32gb of storage. Of course I take all this back if the unlocked variant offered AT&T LTE support; which it doesn't by the way. Why am I not surprised? The 16gb S5 will have about 10GB of user storage.

I am so fed up with this type of BS. AT&T is, unfortunately, the only carrier that works well in my area. T-Mobile is spotty with lots of EDGE. If only their service was on lower spectrum, I'd be all over them.

Anyone else feeling just as frustrated with this mess we endure every year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RockRatt:
I totally agree, but the ATT S4 did come with a 32Gb. I am using it right now. I wish Sammy would up them all to 32Gb and an option for 64Gb. 16Gb is too small with how large touchwiz is with each revision. No way I will go back to only 16Gb on board.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
16GB is never an issue with me, regardless of the device. It's more than enough for my needs, considering I have maybe 2-4 very small games on my devices at any given time. What does piss me off is the lack of all the colors. I wanted the blue model, but of course, that's not possible...for whatever idiotic reason. I just said screw it and preordered the black. I guess I'll just buy a different back cover down the road.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
16GB may not be an issue for everyone, but why can't they just give the customer the choice at pre-launch? I have no problem paying more for storage. Why does Apple sell every color and size up front from day 1? That's what I don't get. Since they are dying so much to be like Apple, then why can't they at least do that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
Agreed -- it really doesn't make any sense at all. All model options should be available from day 1, no exceptions. That's one thing Apple does an excellent job at. They announce their devices and the same day you can start preordering any color/storage model, assuming the stock is available, of course. It pissed me off even more, because we had to wait this long after the S5 announcement to just preorder it...and then we don't have all the options available? Very annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] barondebxl:
+1, Samsung never have full availability of their models. Either they announce a color but don't have it or announce a 64 GB version and don't have it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Yeah I know. Its ridiculous. I don't know why I had such high hopes for them to turn around and launch the S5 differently than before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cloudraker:
I know it doesnt help right now, but i recall reading on Engadget recently that T-Mobile is claiming that all of their 2g areas will be upgraded to 4g by 2015 or early in 2015. That should open up more options for you and countless others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
That will help, but a major problem T-Mobile has it that their frequencies don't reach as far as AT&T's and therefore you get EDGE. T-Mobile has all their towers upgraded in my area to HSPA+ and some with LTE, but since those signals don't travel as far, it always turns into EDGE. They need to shut EDGE down entirely and use only H+.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SSJ_Gomike:
New TouchWiz is just over 8 gigs of space, I've been told the 16gb version will have about 7 gigs of usable storage. I'm waiting for the 32gb version to come to AT&BS I guess a little later this year.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sabre31:
This is why I am thinking of passing on s5 and going to HTC one m8. I checked out the phone at AT&T and very impressed with it plus it comes in 32gb at AT&T as default. Tired of Samsung Bs. They will release a 32gb version on AT&T 6 months down the road or never.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Yea. With the S4 I think they announced the 32GB version about 2 weeks after the 16GB went on sale; ultimately screwing anyone who wanted one because their return policy was up.

I actually ordered the 16GB because I never have come close to filling the internal storage I was just pissed its not an option. I just really wanted the blue. **** like that pisses me off. I am sure if AT&T gets the 32GB it will only come in black. I wanted white this time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sabre31:
Yeah AT&T waited 2 weeks on purpose so you couldn't return the 16gb version. I bet they will pull something similar now. Hoping that somebody is desperate to open another line or pay full price to get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Same thing with last year. 64GB M7 cost the same as a 16GB S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
Equally as important as the space issue is the "download booster" feature, which is disabled on all the demo devices that are popping up in AT&T stores. I'm going to wait for the actual devices to ship to customers before passing judgment because floor models definitely do have things disabled sometimes. That said, it certainly shouldn't shock anyone that AT&T would want this disabled. Years of history support the idea that they don't want people using their network, and they push people toward WiFi whenever possible. I can just see some corporate goon in a boardroom breaking out in a cold sweat over the idea of people accidentally using download booster and going over their data plans because they didn't realize what they were doing.

Let us not forget this is also the same carrier who disabled installation of non-market APKs on their early Android devices, shipped the Note 2 without the multi-window functionality until enough people raised hell, and removed the Knox security app from the Note 3. This says nothing of the fact that they still manage to get their paws into Nexus devices, successfully getting Google to code in an exception that disables tethering on the Nexus 7 if you have an AT&T SIM card in it. There's no account check or anything else. If you have an AT&T SIM card in your Nexus 7, the tethering option disappears. End of story. Not even Verizon does that. Also, does anyone remember how, for the longest time, AT&T made both Apple and Google disable video chat in Facetime and Hangouts over HSPA+ and LTE, forcing you to use WiFi?

So far, I'm leaving my preorder intact, but if my device doesn't have the download booster feature, I'm returning it. Every time I decide to give a carrier-branded device a chance, it seems I get let down. Even with Nexus devices, AT&T finds a way to let me down (thus why I have my N7 on Verizon). I'm trying to give AT&T the benefit of the doubt on the download booster, but I'm not at all optimistic. :/ I mainly stick with AT&T because they're basically the only choice if you want to use unlocked Nexus and/or GPE devices and still have Verizon-like coverage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Well said. Personally, I have never used a Nexus device. I have heard bad things about LG's nexus. But I guess it wouldn't be fair of me to judge that device without actually using it. Samsung's TW provides me with exactly what I need. I love the look and a lot of the features. Like you, and as I have already stated, I will keep my pre-order intact and wait until I actually get the device to see for myself if the feature has been disabled or not.

If they do, in fact disable download booster, I probably will go with the international variant. No carrier branding whatsoever. I believe its the same case as in the past. NO LTE, but 21mbps HSPA+ which is fine for my needs. I think loosing LTE may be worth getting an untouched/non-carrier branded Samsung phone. NO limitations, no nothing. Having the ability to have a custom recovery and kernels would be a deal breaker alone. We already know the AT&T S5 will have a locked down bootloader.

One thing I am looking forward to with the AT&T S5 is its support for carrier aggregation. I live in the Chicago land area (one of AT&T's first LTE-A markets). So I am dying to see how much faster my speeds will be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Well said. Unlocked devices in the USA pretty much only fully support AT&T frequencies. Sure they may be unlocked, but use any other carrier and you'll end up losing out on one to numerous frequencies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
I can't speak for all unlocked devices, but every Nexus device with a cellular radio fully supports all bands for both AT&T and T-Mobile. In addition, the Nexus 5 fully supports all Sprint CDMA and LTE bands, and the 2013 N7 has full Verizon LTE support.

On the GPE side, you're right. The Moto G and both generations of the HTC One lack support for HSPA+ on the AWS/1700 MHz band, which T-Mobile requires for any area not refarmed to use HSPA+ on the PCS/1900 MHz band.

That said, all GPEs fully support T-Mobile LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Yeah that's true I forgot about T-Mobile. Nexus 5 did it right with good carrier support. GPE supporting T-Mobile and AT&T is nice, but nowhere near ideal. Case in point the M8 unlocked and Dev editions only support AT&T. Also, I think the unlocked iPhones support all the US carriers (99% sure).

Point is, to my knowledge, unlocked device support in the USA is like this (greatest adoption to least):

1. AT&T

2. T-Mobile

3. Sprint (very little support)

4. Verizon (pretty much nothing)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chillsen:
i'm confused, why doesn't everyone that want bigger memory space to just spend 35 dollars on amazon and get a 64GB micro card? that'd what i did so now when i get my AT&T S5, I'll have a total of 70 GBs free space....

i think you guys are crying way too much about this 16GB deal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
I will educate you here! SD cards can't hold apps. What happens when you download a few large apps and now your only stuck with less than 1gb? You tell me how your SD card will help you there?

Still confused?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chillsen:
yes, i thought you always had the choice to "move to external memory" or is that only on older phones. I'm coming from a very old htc one x with AT&T and its only android 4.2. thats the extent to my android experience. thank god i ordered the S5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Yeah you can't transfer apps to SD now. That's a pretty big deal IMO. Not to mention internal flash storage is many times faster than MicroSD...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GeorgeP:
Are you saying the "Move to SD card" function for apps, which is currently on the S4 (Kitkat) does not work or was dropped from the S5?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
We don't know for sure. But, even if it is there, keep in mind apps have to specifically support it. It's not something that is just taken for granted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] GeorgeP:
Right. It just seems like some of the posts about not being able to put apps on cards is a bit misleading (unless those posters have some information that has changed with the S5). You can move apps to the external card it now with the S4, with a couple caveats: not all apps support being moved, and for those that do support it, some only support it partially (i.e., not all the data is moved to the card).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Yeah that's more what I meant. No transferring whole apps in most cases, and it's not supported by everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chriskwarren:
ATT is the US version of Bell in Canada. I use them because of the great coverage.

I have never seen the 32GB version of the S4 on their site: http://www.bell.ca/Mobility/Products/Samsung-Galaxy-S4/Specifications.tab

Very disappointing for us, as we never got it at all, let alone wait a few weeks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RaptorMD:
I am waiting impatiently for the GS5 32GB to be announced, whichever (ATT or Verizon) offers it first will likely get my business. I actually like ATT's speeds even on HSDPA+ they out perform Verizon's LTE in my market and their LTE definitely beats Verizon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
It took AT&T almost exactly 2 weeks after the S4 was released to get the 32GB model. I think it came out a day or two after the return window for those who preordered/got it at launch...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
It did. I was one of them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
I think the AT in AT&T stands for "another troll".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] JayRolla:
I have no issue with the small size. I always for for the budget version anyways. My 64gb sd card makes up for the space and now that you can use 128gb in most phones not a big issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
I'm kinda tired of people saying onboard storage isn't an issue with SD cards, because to many it is.

Lots of apps don't support being installed on MicroSD, and even those that do are performance limited by the relatively low bandwidth of MicroSD cards (even the fastest ones out there). I'd much rather have GTA on my built-in flash storage so I can play it with no stutters or problems whatsoever.

You can't install many games on a 16GB phone, especially considering they're usually filled up with almost 8GB as the OS.

I understand that for media and photos, SD cards are great. I'm just trying to emphasize that they're not the best solution for everyone.
