Call sprint and swap ur # to this phone test out for an hour or 2 to make sure its all good then call them back and do the same to the new phone

SGNote2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EzDuzit:
You can absolutely switch phones from the sprint web site. My GS3 got wet a few weeks ago and I got a replacement GS3 on ebay. During that time I activated my 4 year old LG optimus on the sprint web site. Then I activated the replacement GS3 when I received it. Then I had to swap out that replacement (defective) and switched back to my old LG Optimus. Then when I finally received the replacement, (for the original defective replacement), I activated that on the website with no problem. I did have some kind of glitch one time when going back to my old phone. It got no data at all but I took it to a sprint store and they got it figured out after a little while.

So yes, go ahead and swap phones back and forth on the sprint site with no worries.

I've just flashed my MDA C II with the latest T-Mobile rom, and got a copy of Pocket Hack Master 2006, when I run PHM it says that the program doesn't support my processor, heres what device info says

ROM Version : 2.6.2.27

ROM Date : 9/9/06

__

HARDWARE

CPU : OMAP850

Speed : 195mhz

Anyone verify if this is right ? and what my issues might be when it comes to overclocking this device?

I've been loading Rom after Rom on my S4 and settled on the GoldenEye 29 Rom.

Now.....after all is said and done, when plugged into my PC, it's only showing 9.57gb total.

16 gig phone.......... Strange??

I'm going to do a full factory wipe to bring i tback to the way it came out of the box

and start over.........How?? How to format the entire phone? EVERYTHING....bring

the directory structure back to normal?

Thanks.

If you want to bring it back like new use Odin and flash the same firmware you're currently on back onto the device

But the amount of storage you have does not look unreasonable. Did you make any nandroid backups? They take a lot of space

Hey Guys.

But we are using custom roms. So how would it still take up the extra 6 gigs missing? Or am I forgetting something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GuestX0019:
Unless I am missing something, you are not going to see more than that. I think the area that Samsung set aside is not changeable. And your numbers are consistent with what others report. My 32gb phone shows 23.81 availabe and 13.11 free after taking into account what I have loaded. It won't show 32gb. I am also running CM11 M6, a light rom in comparison to TW roms.

If I am off on this you more techy guys can set me straight--;):)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
The partition sizes are set. Custom roms don't change those. Userdata is what you have available the rest is allocated by android. Even if you don't use all the space in other partitions you don't have access to that storage

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errant33:
In the past I could enable USB debug and my USB storage would not auto mount to the computer it was connected to. Now no mater what I try with the S5 it will not allow me to disable this automount behavior, even while on the lock screen. I find this to be a HUGE issue with security anyone who can grab my phone can access all the files on it very quickly.

Has anyone figured out how to disable this?

Sorry if this has been asked already, I did search.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
First you need to enable developer options by going to settings>about phone and tapping on the build number about 7 times, a pop up will come saying they are enabled. Then go there and scroll down and you should see it, about the 5th option down
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errant33:
I think you mis-understood my question, automount of usb is still occurring with debug mode enabled. Nothing I do will disable it and it happens even on the lock screen. I have already enabled developer options, was already familiar with the press 7 times option....although many are not!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
You're right, I'm not understanding the question, and I still don't understand what you're trying to say. Can you be more specific with what steps you do and what results you are looking for?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errant33:
1. Plug USB into pc and phone

2. Browse to phone and see all files(Behavior I want to stop)

Basically I want charge only mode till I select for USB to connect via MTP or PTP
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
Hmm, have you tried deselecting the options that pop up once you plug the USB into the computer? Should give several options of what you want it as such as installer or media, deselect both? Not by a computer ATM so I'm unaware of the detailed options.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kprice8:
He's trying to find the function for attaching that says "Charge only" for attaching it via USB to computer/phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errant33:
I know how useless charging from a computer is the real intention is to stop a random person from just hooking it up via usb and downloading all my files. When I connect I intend to use storage mounted to the host PC.

Deselecting does not work by the way either MTP or PTP has to be selected and if you try to uncheck it stays checked at least that is the behavior i am seeing.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
What was the last device you owned that allowed you to charge only? I don't remember my S4 having a charge only option, although I never feared someone would hook it up to a computer and steal files.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kprice8:
I will look into this when I return to my personal desktop. Work desktop has USB ports disabled. Apologies.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errant33:
Cyanogenmod Modded Note II was not charge only, just had the ability to not auto select mount options from the storage menu you could simply uncheck both. Cant seem to do that with S5 stock rom.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
That was prob a CM ROM feature, stock S5 might not have this option.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errant33:
It may or may not but previous android versions allowed this behavior on stock roms. Took a bit of messing around but you could get it to stop auto-mounting, usually by enabling debug mode in developer options, that doesn't seem to be the case anymore :(.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
I think it may be the opposite, have you unchecked USB debugging and then plugged it into a computer? I know that sounds simple and stupid, but debugging mode is made to transfer files
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00202:
If the screen is locked you should not be able to see phone or SD storage. Try this.

- Unplug the phone from the PC

- Lock the screen

- Plug phone back into PC

You should see the PC recognize the device, but when you click into it, it should be empty until you unlock the phone.

If you unlock the phone while plugged in. It will remember this until unplugged and locked again.

As far as I'm concerned turning the only real way is to set Windows to stop auto play for the device. However this would have to be done on any PC it's connected to.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Errant33:
And now I feel stupid, thank you for the help. I didn't even check to see if the drives were showing up once autoplay triggered and the device showed up in "Computer" I assumed the storage was available.

:)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00202:
Dennis, you are half right. USB debugging is meant for file transferring (but on a deeper level). It is more of a dev. tool then setting for the average user. When USB Debugging is enabled Devs. use it for establishing a connection Between the Android SDK(Software Development Kit) with an Android Based Device
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dennisg34:
Lol I knew that mike, I just didn't feel like typing all those details out so I just said transfer files:):p
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GHUqsdfgh:
Hi. I have the same concern with my Android 7.

I used to own, years ago, and Android 2 device and once plugged in to a computer by USB, you needed to activate the data transfer manually on the screen, otherwise it was charge only.

I wish Android 7 would behave the same way. It is safer : you may charge your phone on any USB slot and use the phone at the same time without being worried that somebody could be downloading your files and installing a back door.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ufkal:
Am I the only one having problems transitioning to the People application for HTC? I again hate to be that guy who says, "On the Samsung", but, on the Samsung phones, I could edit the contacts to take individual ringtones AND message alerts. This does not seem to be a feature with People. People also seems to be separating out my contacts by individual phone number and email. I'm certain its a learning process for me, but if ANYONE has any help, or suggestions I'd really really appreciate it.

TIA!!!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
Sorry, I have no idea what kind of 3rd party app Samsung devices use, but I also only have the ability to assign an individual ringtone, not individual message alerts.

As far as it separating contacts by phone number and email, do you mean you have, for instance, one contact for your mom for her cell phone, and another separate contact for her email? Because that's not happening for me. If that's the case, Touchwiz may have stored contacts in an odd fashion that Google wasn't expecting, so when it pulled your contacts back down for your M8 it couldn't categorize them correctly? But that's just a wild guess. I came from a Galaxy Nexus, but before that I had a Droid X, and my contacts have been correct since day 1.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] ufkal:
Yeah, that is exactly what I mean. and it appears to be all over the place. And this is just a personal feeling, but it doesn't feel clean. or intuitive. Not a biggie, I was just curious. I try to use stock applications, but if stock messaging won't let me assign specific message alerts, I'll just use something else.

Thanks for the reply.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] sfreemanoh:
No problem, sorry I couldn't help more. I actually just went through my contacts, and though there were a lot of dupes, it's actually because I apparently had separate contacts for some people (in all the cases the names of the dupes were slightly different, or only the first name for one, then first and last for the other, etc). But I didn't see any that were obviously just separated by the HTC app. Try Go Contacts maybe? It's fairly popular I think. I don't know if it supports per-contact message alert tones though, but I haven't used it in over 2 years.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] 1ManWolfePack:
You got to go into settings within the people app (from dialer), bro. Then you can uncheck all the extra pulls you don't need, then 'link' contacts. If you check in there now, and look above your name, I bet there are some link/join suggestions waiting for you.

I know exactly what you're talking. It's the first thing I did on this phone and it was a mess. Got it all cleaned up doing what I said above.

First of all, I took the earphones protective plastic off them and put it to protect the camera, so don't know if the quality got affected, don't think so.

After 40 sec after the intro in the first video, the sound quality gets better.

The sound is better than live actually in the first example at least, it was way too loud in there, I didn't hear that well live as in the video lol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNLTaUm0DqA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57kIGWxEjC4 (It was damn loud)

What do you think? I think it's over average.
[One (M8) General] RossMacgill:
Thats one way to get views lol, but honestly, very had to tell on picture quality as all i can see is black and blue, sound is loud and clear.
[One (M8) General] vimto25:
Sound is very good. My nexus 5 failed on sound on a similar recording in a nightclub it became very distorted.
[One (M8) General] Shebee:
Video might not be that great but the audio really blew me away.
[One (M8) General] BerndM14:
Well actually the video isn't *that* bad, especially the parts where that crap blue light isn't the primary light that's shining. Audio quality of course was very good.

I think the recording turned out quite good, I've seen live shows with more professional cameras that did a worst job so the device you used really wasn't all that bad at all, for a mobile device.

:good:
[One (M8) General] Shebee:
Yeah,the lights were flashing like crazy, I think if I would've been closer it might have turned out great. But nonetheless the sound is awesome.

Had anyone else recorded live music with the m8 or any other phone for that matter?
[One (M8) General] GSLEON3:
The plastic will definitely affect quality, how much can vary. It is mass produced plastic with a very high tolerance for variances. It will be thicker in areas & thinner on others, on the order of microns probably, but could be enough to cause distortion. Hard to tell in the lighting how or if it was affected. As other mentioned, the audio is great.
[One (M8) General] zimilaci:
Hey Guys,

I no its against the rules, but how can I make up my mind other than this...

I have an m7 and for me the main things are :

- speaker quality (m8 should be better right? deeper sounds, louder etc..)

- Camera (lack of ois I find disturbing)

- Mic quality???

I recorded this with m7 next to a f..huge speaker and the bass came out just right... will it be the same for the m8?

[One (M8) General] zimilaci:
Yes, its quite good :) I am comparing the HTC m7 and m8 currently (Girlfriend has the m7 now :) and I have a few months to find out whether the m8 is for me or not... anyway what I found out from the HTC support, that the m8 has also dual membrane microphone, but they werent giving out any details..like brand or whatever...

I hope the lack of OIS will not be a big issue...how do you guys see that?
[One (M8) General] alangrig:
Lack of OIS is a big issue. That's why I gonna stick with M7. It's real downgrade. Video are very shaky. Shooting movie with one hand gonna be unacceptable.
[One (M8) General] zimilaci:
In general a big issue, or you are taking videos while you are moving? :S for example from a moving car, or I dont know... in concert it should be no problem...

and the htc one reduces the framerate in darker env...

(ps I am also not sure how to or what to do ..keep it or not :D+
[One (M8) General] alangrig:
Well lets take a simple real situation. I very often take video of my son, who does karate sport. Taking steady video of my son with M7 preserving stable image on any distance while he accomplishes performance is very easy. Even on big screen pictures looks very stable. Shooting video under mentioned conditions with non OIS camera is headache. Even watching video on 12" screen size looks disgusting. It is very shaky. Having watched many video samples from M8, I'm really disappointed, this feature being dismissed.
