[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Fifa is around 2GB, 4K videos record to the internal memory, the accumulation of apps adds up over time, clearing data and moving things around is something you shouldn't have to do on a high end handset, some people aren't even ok with 32GB, personally I am but the vast majority of people aren't happy with 16GB, some are. So it's completely dependent on the user.. Bare In mind 4 - 5 high end games and your memory is maxed out.. 550 pound phone?!?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A7mag3ddon:
No 16gb is not enough. There would also be no need to release a bigger model if it was possible to do a intSd to extSd like other android devices. I have a 64gb SD but have to manage it myself instead of swapping.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Bentley:
Yes, which is why I mentioned a "use case" and asked after your particular situation as an individual user.

On my Galaxy S5 pictures and video default to external storage. I've just confirmed this by taking a "UHD" video. It went straight to external storage (verified through ES File Explorer). Moreover, there is an option in the camera settings to specify where your output goes (I haven't changed this).

Source?

The vast majority of people who buy Samsung Galaxy S5's are getting 16GB versions. That, by itself, isn't an indicator that they wouldn't prefer a 32GB version. I would prefer a 32 GB version. But there has been no news story that's reported a general dissatisfaction at the 16GB limit, that I've seen.

Yes that is a possible use for your a device where storage greater than 16GB would be desirable. I don't know the percentage of Android users who never or rarely game on Android but I suspect it would be a clear majority. So although gaming is not a "freakish" use case it would be, so I speculate, a minority use case. More importantly for games that are taking up more than a gigabtye of space it will be easy enough to know how to reclaim your precious internal space: uninstall some of those games.

Can you think of another non freakish scenario where 16GB becomes a problem?

You can do this for many apps. For example one of my larger apps (as discovered by "Disk Usage" from the play store) is Amazon Kindle. Settings > Application Manager > Amazon Kindle [press] > "Move to SD card" is enabled. I'm on an unrooted Galaxy S5, SM-G900I, the latest manufacturer firmware. But I do think having to move apps (rather than media) to the external SD card is a problem. For one, internal storage is faster than external storage.

It would be far better if Samsung released a 32GB to all markets, and I hope they do next time. But I suspect many users are overestimating their need for larger storage spaces, as I did before my purchase.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] A7mag3ddon:
Sadly the s5 doesn't automatically move all to SD you have mually do it. Also the two biggest apps I use ( tom tom ) need the Map files in the root and do t work on SD card at all which is a shame.

I have jxd s7800b which allows swapping of memory so the device sees the SD as internal memory. As for speed if you get a class 10 SD card there really isn't much speed difference in loading times. I can wait a couple of extra seconds if my device is 64gb. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] John Bentley:
My TomTom map has been automatically stored on the external SD card (355 MiB according to DiskUsage). The App itself remains on Internal Storage.

From A1 SD Bench I get the following speed results:

Internal Storage : Read 138.20 MB/s; Write 056.79 MB/s

External SD Card: Read 034.50 MB/s; Write 13.26 MB/s

Therefore, on the read speeds Internal Storage is 4 times faster. My SD card is a class 10 SanDisk Ultra microSDHC. Nominally rated at 30 MB/s.

SanDisk also have an "Extreme Pro" card rated at 95 MB/s. That would entail internal storage is 1.45 times faster.

It's overstating it to claim, in either case, that "there really isn't much speed difference in loading times". For those parts of your user experience that don't require fast loading times, perhaps like waiting for photos to load in the gallery, any small delay may well be offset by your knowledge that these bulky items are storage externally. For those parts of your user experience that do require fast loading times, like flipping back and forth between different screens in an app, the delay might contribute to your feeling the phone is laggy.

We all remain in agreement, I think, that it would be better for Samsung to offer a 32 GB model, at least as an alternative. The Note 4 they've just released has 32 GB internally. SO there is hope for the Galaxy S6.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
My source is me, I fix phones for a living, I was also on the front line of people buying phones too, when the average user asks about the internal memory and that's a lot of end users. when 16GB is told to be the answer they are unhappy 9 times out of 10, it is that simple, I myself don't want 16GB if I can get more. Further to this, the majority of users who I've seen and i've seen thousands, play games, people buy a high end handset for performance, the commute to work, the boredom they may experience, they buy and install games to get through times like this, and like i've already said to you, it will take up a load of memory, I personally have around 100 paid for games, out of which I have installed about 2 large ones, fifa and the room 2. IF i chose to install another 2 or 3 i'd be approaching the end of my memory, why should I be forced to do that if i've paid for a high end device? Also if you install a lot of normal apps, over time the memory fills up, it's that simple. Why should you have to clean up or transfer from your device just to free up space?

I don't care if you can justify 16GB storage or even if it suits you, but attempting to tell people that they don't need more, just because you can get by is ridiculous, start a vote, how much memory do you need or want, 16 - 32 - 64 - 128, the vast majority of people would prefer 32, 16 in this day and age is too low.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lecorbusier:
I still have 4 to 5gigs of internal flash free. Thanks to root & ustom rom.

On my non-rootable Acer tablet with 16GB i had the same selection of apps installed as on the phone until some months ago.

A couple of years ago a simple single Playstore update required at least 250mbytes of free internal flash.

Earlier this year i ran into the same trouble, when the tablet had about 900mbytes left. I uninstalled as many apps as possible and frequently clean all junk as on the S5 and can now keep the tablet at 1 to 2gbytes of free flash with a subset of the S5's apps.

All thanks to bloatware. And remember the Playstore when approaching 1GB of free flash. And that must be internal one.

During the days of Kitkat and the 250mbyte limit i had a phone with 4GB internal flash.

That got unusable without App2SD or Adoptable Storage thanks to a custom rom, with the Force Move option enabled. Especially after the transition from Dalvik to the bigger ART binaries.

By default less than half of all apps (today probably even less) could be moved to sd and no app using widgets or background tasks running from boot. But you could force move almost any app w/o a widget or boot task. The latter are often not configurable and not noticeable before moving them out to cause trouble.

Example: Gmaps couldn't be moved, but Google Earth, which became much slower running from sd.

There are no free SIM unlocking methods available. In particular the method in the post above will

not

work on any S5. You can pay an unlocking vendor $10 - $40 to unlock your S5. And a few carriers may give you an unlock code if you have been a customer for a minimum time period and have an account in good standing.

Try the steps i usually provided on my roms:

Calibrating the GPS:

1: Open the app "FasterGPS". (Free via Play)

2: Install and give it root permissions

3: Choose your Continent

4: Choose your region (at this point, your gps is properly configured with your country *.ntp values)

5: EPO Download : Settings > Enginner Mode > Location > Location Based Service> EPO >

Select "Enable EPO" and "Auto Download" and Press "EPO (IDLE)". Now your GPS will lock in just seconds

6: Start the app "GPS Status", in the first Satts Lock, you need to wait a little bit (it can take up to 15m, be sure you are in an Open Area).

When you get an good lock, on Satts, your DONE.

[Microsoft Surface Hub] surface_n1nja:
I came into the SP3 world after many hours researching to make sure that dual external monitors was a possibility, specifically without using USB-powered "external video cards". However, after following directions that people have posted before I have the below setup, and only one external monitor is being displayed.

System: Surface Pro 3 i7 / 8GB / 512GB SSD

Microsoft Surface Docking Station

2x HP LA2206x Monitors

StarTech Triple Head DisplayPort 1.2 Multi Monitor MST Hub

StarTech Mini-DP to DP Adapter cable

Plugged in like so:

Docking Station -> Mini-DP to DP Cable -> MST Hub -> Output 1=Monitor #1, Output 2=Monitor #2

The Surface continues displaying on its screen, and Monitor #1 gets output. Monitor #2 seems like it tries to initialize (I hear the "da-dump" sound from the Surface when it gets plugged in/unplugged) but no video output.

I have tested the MST Hub on another laptop (HP Elitebook Folio 9470m) and both external monitors display without issue. The only difference between the two setups is the Mini-DP to DP adapter cable is not required/cant be used for the setup on the 9470m, as it has a full DP port on it.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[Microsoft Surface Hub] GoodDayToDie:
Have you looked in the "Screen Resolution" control panel (right-click on the Desktop) to see if the second external monitor is shown?

Have you tried using Win+P to disable the internal display?

Have you checked Device Manager to see if both external monitors are detected correctly and have working drivers?

Have you verified that MiniDP can drive multiple displays at all?

Have you verified that MiniDP can drive the total display resolution that you're trying to run off of it?

Have you verified that the SP3's video chip can drive the total display res that you're trying to get (remember that the internal display is very high resolution)?

Those are the things I'd check first, in probably not quite that order.
[Microsoft Surface Hub] surface_n1nja:
1) Second external does not appear in Screen Resolution

2) Yes, however SP3 devices support 2 external plus internal as per spec sheet

3) I will check this.

4) As per SP3 and DisplayPort 1.2 spec sheet, yes

5) As per SP3 and DisplayPort 1.2 spec sheet, yes

6) It is listed on official documents as an advertised feature for 2 external as well as the internal
[Microsoft Surface Hub] GoodDayToDie:
For #6 I was specifically asking whether it could drive that much resolution, rather than whether two externals was possible at all (you might try reducing the res on the external panel and seeing if the second wakes up). You should also make sure that your hardware all works; try things like disconnecting the first monitor and making sure the second works when plugged in (leave it in the same spot on the hub?)

Beyond that... do you have a Microsoft store nearby? Even if not, you can try calling their support people. If nothing else indicates the source of the problem, it's probably the sort of thing you should take to the people who are paid to deal with such issues.
[Microsoft Surface Hub] EvilBetty:
Working an issue similar to this now. Trying to use a two Dell U2414H monitors with DisplayPort 1.2 chaining, and a DP Hub. Both end in the same result as you.

Sometimes I'm able to "trick it" and get it working but after a reboot or shutdown the 2nd monitor goes back to disabled and I have to repeat the process. Right now I have it working using one monitor on the mini-DP, and the other on a USB-3 to DP adapter.

Working Microsoft on this issue. They claim there is a KB out for a problem with the dock (2992365) but I haven't been able to pull anything up using that number online.
[Microsoft Surface Hub] pyryoer:
I didn't have any luck with a MST hub either. I ended up just getting a USB video card adapter and I'm now using my SP3 as my primary work machine with two monitors.
[Microsoft Surface Hub] JustinWeberg:
Try it without the dock plugging directly into the dp port on the surface
[Microsoft Surface Hub] Eloise62:
Can you give me detailed explanation?
[Microsoft Surface Hub] Aisha Mushtaq 123:
It's possible that the Mini-DP to DP adapter cable may be causing the issue. Since you've mentioned that both external monitors work without issue on the HP Elitebook Folio 9470m without the adapter, it's worth trying to remove the adapter and connecting the MST Hub directly to the docking station's Mini-DP port. This may help resolve the problem and allow both external monitors to display correctly on your Surface Pro 3.
