[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] impactor:
In the HTC Desire days things were easy - I had 300MB partition for apps and if there was 15MB free, it meant I could only install apps that were smaller than 15MB.

But with S4 mini it is not like that. I go to Settings/Apps and it tells me I have 470MB free (which is how much space there is on the internal card), but I can't install any apps (even tiny ones) because of "Insufficient storage available".

What the deuce?

I had an Evo LTE but now I have an N5. I rooted my device not too long ago and tried our a couple Roms. I stuck with PA. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this, I don't post on here much, but I keep getting notifications from PA telling me to update Gapps. I like the stock PA Gapps. I like that it doesn't have the old messaging app and browser(I like using Hangouts and Chrome). I don't want to have 2 of each thing. Really my question is, is there some sort of advantage to updating Gapps?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
Updating GAPPS is merely updating these apps, not much different to updating normal user apps.

You don't have to update, but they often bring new features / fixes bugs etc. Not necessarily and advantage, just nice to keep things updated really.

If the zip comes with apps you don't want e.g. messaging or old browser:

- You can always remove them with titanium backup or similar

- Or you can delete them from the zip before you even flash it.

open the .zip with something like 7zip (double click, don't extract)

delete apks you don't want from /system/app or /system/priv-app etc.

close 7zip to update it.

- Use another flashable zip to remove them after flashing the gapps (set it up once, saves you editing the zip every time). I do this personally.

Hi all,

I've disabled the "Slide aside" but now i want to enable it again but when i go the to apps menu/disabled and select the slide aside i don't have the option to re-enable.

In the Setting/general the slide aside option also disappeared...

Please help
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klotar:
I go to Settings, scroll down to Slide Aside (Device section) and then click the toggle switch (top right), does that not work for you?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Klotar:
Sorry, I read your initial post too quickly. I now understand that you meant you had disabled Slide Aside. So now it is listed with your Disabled apps but the Enable button is greyed out, correct?

I wonder if another app is also disabled that Slide Aside had as a dependency?

Hello,

I have two issues that have recently started. I have done a "reset phone" with "restore from backup" however the issues still exist. I haven't done anything that I can think of that might have caused this.

1) When I open the email app, some of the text is missing. This occurs every time (see screenshot)

2) When I go into the app screen, the center of the screen darkens however the top and bottom bars remain at current brightness. This occurs about 30% of the time (see screenshot)

Hoping someone can help me.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
Today I posted this on G+:

https://plus.google.com/104522596589171041648/posts/JfBDxdTAjSR

I'd be willing to place down a wager that the +Verizon Wireless and +AT&T variants of the Galaxy S5 will have the download booster feature disabled.

I can't imagine those companies taking very kindly to the idea of using WiFi and LTE simultaneously, just due to the fear of pissed off customers going over their data plans because they had no idea what they were doing. Plus it has the real potential to create even more usage on their networks, which most bigger carriers don't seem to like.

Considering how providers like to push people to use WiFi whenever possible (doesn't ever carrier have a WiFi finder app these days?), yeah, I don't see the big boys taking too kindly to the download booster. I guess we'll find out in a little under 2 weeks.

If my hunch is correct, I'd highly suggest that anyone owning affected variants scream and complain to anyone who will listen. This will hopefully lead to the guilty carriers releasing statements saying "The exclusion of the download booster functionality was an oversight and not intentional. We will fix this issue in a future software update."﻿

Any thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
It better not be. But yes, I can see them doing that. I say, it's my data, let me use it anyway I want to.

---------- Post added at 01:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 PM ----------

Well AT&T's sure doesn't mention download booster anywhere on the S5 page. I swear to God if they disabled it I will raise hell. Such a great feature too.

But these larger carriers have to much control. They really shouldn't be able to touch any device or modify it. Only Samsung should do that. If T-Mobile didn't have such spotty coverage by me, I'd be on them in a second ordering my S5 instead of ATT.

Ordering the non carrier version of the S5 isn't an option either because it so conveniently doesn't support bands 4 and 17. WOW
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
That's because the unlocked international version isn't intended for the US market. It's intended to be sold at retail in other countries and the LTE bands that it suppers reflects that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
I don't see why they would do this. If a customer goes over their data usage, that's more money in the carrier's pocket. Playing ignorance isn't an excuse for going over your limit. I don't see why a carrier would hand-hold customers on this issue. Not only that, but I don't see Samsung allowing them to do this, considering this is a pretty major selling point for the S5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cloudraker:
I could be wrong but i would imagine there is a setting you can disable to prevent yourself from constantly using both. So it should be in the purchasers hands hence no reason for AT&T to disable it to prevent data overages. That being said, AT&T is a company that likes to piss everyone off and remove features that are major selling points just because they can.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
I can definitely see them doing this. Let me tell you why. AT&T is the only carrier that has brainwashed people in thinking WIFI is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I've often had AT&T reps tell me, ya know you really should use WIFI instead of your data. I was like why do I pay for it then? I still have the original AT&T $30 unlimited data plan for smartphones so I don't care, but even with that, they try to tell me to use wifi. I believe its because they don't want the same disaster to happen to their network that happened back in 2009. The network overloaded with all the iPhones. Nowadays, the network is amazing and has no problem with capacity. But I think they instilled it into all their rep's heads to make people use WIFI all the time. I have passed an AT&T store while driving and my phone connects to their crappy WIFI. I even argued with one rep a while back that my mobile internet connection is more stable than their crappy in-store WIFI network.

So yea thats my two cents. I really hope they don't eliminate this awesome feature. I pre-ordered the device on AT&T and will be the first one to post if they did or not when I get it April 8 :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
I preordered an AT&T GS5 as well. I don't think it will replace my Z Ultra GPE as a daily driver, but I'm definitely going to have fun with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Yea I know. Part of me just wishes there was only 1 GS5 that was a world phone that supported every kind of LTE network.

I did use the International Galaxy S3 years ago on AT&T and it worked great. No bloat, fast updates, and a black dialer. :D I may sound contradicting here, but now may actually be a great time to buy an HSPA+ only device. The HSPA+ network works great and isn't congested anymore. I occasionally test it out on my iPhone 5S since you can turn LTE off. I always get about 7-10mbps down. Even during calls speeds are now great. But when your getting 50mbps on LTE going back to H+ kinda hurts lol.

I ordered the white GS5. Never owned a white galaxy before. Cant wait to get it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
I ordered a white one too. The GS4 GPE only comes in white so I'm used to white Galaxy devices now. haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] natefish:
This feature is a key selling point in Samsung's walk through of the phone, so I'd say it won't be blocked. My thought was actually that I will never use this feature unless it's an emergency" (I. e. need new rom ASAP) or I have a lot of data left for the month. Otherwise, AT&T could be making some nice dough off of people going over their data limits.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] indymx:
I am hoping that there is a way to disable it, as I really don't need it.

As it turns out, I changed my mind.. Cancelled my order and ordered HTC One M8
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cloudraker:
http://techknowzone.com/how-to-use-download-booster-in-samsung-galaxy-s5/

According to that article, not only can you disable it, but it actually doesnt impact normal web browsing or downloading small files. All the more reason AT&T has no excuse to disable it. For the average consumer, you wont got over your data simply because its on. If you arent downloading files over 30mb, it does nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] dwd3885:
I'm sure the feature isn't there on the store models. Maybe because no sim card or active data connection
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daraj:
Sure enough went to the AT&T store today and chgecked the s5 that has a sim card in it and couldn't find the download booster.

Super predictable move.:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
Your local AT&T store has a GS5 out on the floor? That doesn't sound right.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daraj:
yes its out. also got some pics
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
Wow... Well hopefully the floor model isn't running final software and there will be an OTA before launch. I'm not going to freak out just yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
If they disabled that feature then I think its time we start retaliating. I probably will send my pre-order back and go with the International version. The LTE networks are getting bogged down nowadays, while the HSPA+ network is doing great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
I'm going to head over to the biggest corporate store in the area tonight and see if they have a GS5 on the floor. If so, I'll try to verify it. If it's true, you can bet your ass I'm canceling my preorder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daraj:
Some pics from the store today

Sorry they came up inverted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Thanks. If its not on there, I think its safe to assume the launch day phones will not have the feature. That doesn't mean it won't be included on a future update, but we shouldn't have to play these games anymore. With the Note 2 launch AT&T didn't include the multi-window feature.

Thank you. How much AT&T bloat was installed on it? Everything smooth? Lag? Is the camera fast?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daraj:
Lag is non existent and camera well we all know its great and focus is ultra fast. AT&T bloatware is unfortunately there although they tried to minimize its foot print by grouping them in a bloat folder. Overall, super smooth and screen is just crisp.

too bad at&t took away the booster mode and the network mode change :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Everyone thinks AT&T loves people going over there data usage, well the truth is, its a pain for CS reps to always have to credit overages. They just don't want people using the network. I can see people using this feature and going over their data the first day and AT&T having to credit numerous accounts. It probably would be so much easier to just disable the feature entirely. Hopefully, once the phone launches without it, enough people will get pissed and force AT&T to send out an OTA update to restore it.

I am all for the network mode option as well, but I do not remember any of their Android phones ever having the option. There are other work arounds if you want to use HSPA+ only or EDGE. They supposedly don't include it because they want the phones connecting to the best available network. EDGE is getting shut down in some areas and if people put it to GSM only then they wouldn't have any service.

EDIT: I urge everyone on here to post this all over AT&T's facebook and twitter pages. Ask them why they took it out.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
Lol, you guys are already talking about canceling your preorders simply by going off what you see on a demo floor model? I think you guys are getting way too ahead of yourselves. AT&T will not be disabling this feature on the retail version. They have absolutely no reason to. Relax, wait the 13 days, and go from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cloudraker:
Ok this is a direct quote from one of my buddies that is a samsung rep at best buy.

" One of our 5 key talking points with customers is the download booster. I doubt Samsung would have us be pimping that feature then disable it."

Then he said.... " Yeah some of them don't just cause they're display. The ones at launch will have it though"

He followed that up by saying he is 99.9% sure on that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
Verified. It's disabled on the demo models. I hope that isn't the case on the ones that ship to customers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Well AT&T answered my facebook post and said they can't comment on full details on the phone until its released. Pathetic.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Thanks. Its simple, if it doesn't have the feature, I will return the device and have AT&T credit my account for the restocking fee. Simple as that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cloudraker:
Maybe we should wait to incite a riot until we get the retail version of the phone in our hands? i know AT&T has a history of disabling features, but getting bent about something that hasnt happened is just silly. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt and see if they let us down or not. Then we can rip into them if they have disabled it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
Thus, the very last paragraph of that post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Yeah all the demos don't have ART either. They're running a limited, pre-release version of the OS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] robertopod1968:
What has me thinking that it is going to be removed from the AT&T version is that it isn't listed in the features on the website. It is on the Tmobile website. I'm feeling pretty confident that it won't be on the AT&T released s5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
This is what I thought originally too. We'll see next week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
Ok y'all, I understand that AT&T is always looking for a way to screw the costumers over. Hence the possibilty of dowload booster being disabled. But if you are me, you would never use this feature. Let's see 10GB of data to share between 5 people. There is no way I would trust myself or anyone in my account to use that feature. So in the end, unless you somehow was able to keep your unlimited data all this time then you are not even going to care. Just my ¢2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
True. Although, even if you'd kept your unlimited data, you only get 5GB of LTE before you get throttled.

The other 3 people on our family plan /maybe/ use 1GB of our 10 in a month, so I'm sure I'd get a fair bit of use out of it (I would have to /try/ to use that much data in my phone in a month :P).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
I still have unlimited data with AT&T and I could benefit from download booster. They have no right to disable it. If people go over, they go over; bill them accordingly.

There are work arounds. I used 5GB halfway through my billing cycle and called care and had them put me on the Android unlimited plan. It reset my usage and I have fast speeds again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Can you elaborate? Are you saying you can ask for unlimited data still?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
No it's not offered anymore. I've had it for years. I used over 5GB of high speed data. They throttled me on the iPhone data plan (Data Unlimited for Iphone on 4G LTE)so I switched to the Android unlimited data plan. It's the same plan but just provisioned different. Every time it's switched it resets your throttled speeds. It's just a pain to keep calling but I couldn't bear the .50 Mbps speed. If you have this plan you can have truly unlimited data. You just have to know how to manipulate it. And I take great pleasure in doing so since AT&T likes to screw over their customers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Haha yeah I understand with the switching that's really clever :P

I'm happy with our plan now though. $170/mo for 4 iPhones, an iPad, and 10GB of shared data (with unlimited talk and text). I'm not sure what the unlimited costs for one person, but isn't is $30/mo or something for one line?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jayv81:
Yes $30 per line for unlimited. My wife and I each have unlimited on our lines. Pretty much the only reason why I stay with AT&T
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Yep $30. I was thinking about switching to the $130 10GB mobile share plan. But I don't think I will.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] DISTRAUGHTKLOWNZ:
Well, I'm a little worried now. These are some screenshots I acquired from the at&t sales people at my local store and they don't mention the download booster anywhere. They also told me that there shouldn't be any difference from the floor model to the final model, "there are really never any day 1 patches for phones." So, not to beat a dead horse, but I'm probably going to cancel my pre-order because of this.

*note* I'm not sure why this isn't letting me upload any photos or zip them so here are the photos on a sharing website.

http://imgur.com/a/YRwuI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
I know. The store model almost always has the exact same software, that's why we're all worried. I won't cancel my pre-orde, I will give them the benefit of the doubt. But if you read the link I posted a few pages back, it explains why they could potentially disable it.

If you cancel your pre-order and still want the S5, you can always get the HSPA+ only version. No carrier branding or touching. I'm considering it. May be worth to give up LTE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
I'd just wait for the GPE if you were gonna do that. Not as much Dev support for the Exynos. Why would you want download booster if you don't have LTE?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
Floor models are ALWAYS different than final retail models, regardless what some sales rep says. It has been this way for many years. It's not about day 1 patches, it's about the floor models running demo software tailored specifically for retail vendors. This is why there are some features disabled on floor models.

There's no reason to believe AT&T would disable the download booster. There's also no reason to get ahead of yourself and cancel a preorder just because what you saw on a floor model. We will all know in a week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chillsen:
WOW I AM SO PISSED.

I wanted to help everyone by reaching out to a tech rep. You must be kidding me with these automated answers. took her 5 minutes to tell me that the phone isn't released... seriously. In all honesty, robots would be better help than these zombies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
I wouldn't get the GPE. I prefer the TW features. And yes, you are right about download booster. It's only available with an LTE connection. I think I was just voicing my frustration on a carrier branded devices. I would not get the Exynos version. The European version comes with Qualcomm and would have a lot of development support.

Check this one out.

http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung-galaxy-s5

Yes, you are correct. There are demo versions. But usually the final version includes all the features the demo version had. For example, when AT&T decided to foolishly omit the Note 2's multi-window feature, the final version of the phone also shipped without it. The feature wasn't just missing from store models.

If download booster is missing, it can be restored in a future update. But as we already established, AT&T does not want people using its network. Costs them more. That's why I am so lucky to have my unlimited plan, because I use as much as want. :D

I got the same scripted answer too. I posted on their facebook page last weekend. They are truly pathetic. It's not like there is anything secret about the phone, we know everything. They just don't want to admit its not there yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jamezr:
You do realize that tech support is such a thankless job. You do realize that taking out your frustration on that support rep will do you not a bit of good? That support rep has a script of what to tell customers about features of the new not yet released devices. That support rep could get into trouble or fired for giving the wrong information out. Especially if someone took say a screenshot of the support conversation and started posting it on forums and Facebook or Twitter. She did her job.....if you are really pissed write a letter or email customer support......or don't buy the phone......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chillsen:
i posted to provide AT&T's official answer. i am pissed at her script answers. But if it weren't to find out for everyone I wouldn't post it. Relax no one got fired, she did her job and we got our "official" AT&T answer.
