The used space is about 8.08GB and free space is about 4.48GB. But then in this screenshot the size of whole SDCARD folder is just 6.36GB.

View attachment 2941877

So, what's using the extra 1.4 GB and where is it residing?

Extra notes:

1. Recently I had to factory reset my phone and lost everything on it, and after I added back my files from laptop the space reported was correct. No ghost usage.

2. The thumbnails files in DCIM folder got huge and I deleted them to recover nearly 1.5GB, but I'm not sure if that change actually shows up.

Please help with any insight. Also, does your SDCARD folder and storage usage show such differences?

Hi. I recently acquired the OPO and it was working perfectly until the other day.

I was plugging in my headset, the music app (Apollo) started, and it startede playing. I then had to stop the music, so i used the screen signatures to stop it. But as i tried to turn it on again, it just played for a fraction of a second og a the music, before shopping again.

I then tried turning the screen on and start it from the notification bar. It did the same thing but i could just start it again, just to hear/see it repeating.

Can anyone help me?

I run the latest cyanogenmod update, on my OPO.

It works perfectly if i close ALL other apps, but that's kind of a drag.. Can somebody help me?

I bought two samsung discover 730m phones, put a SIM card in both of the same provider. Did not modify the stock ROM at all. The one phone lasts over a day with lots of use or up to 4 days with no use. The other lasts only 8 hours at most with no use, even less with use.

I swapped the batteries and determined it's the phone not the battery.

I have turned data off, bluetooth off, screen brightness down, installed a battery saving app, made sure syncing is off, and still it chews through the battery. Can this possibly be hardware related

Any suggestions of what else to try?

#1) First to get into download mode:

1. Remove battery

2. Put usb to computer and phone (w/o battery)

3. Hold "Vol up" button

4. Put battery back

You will get into download mode (aka emergency mode).

#2) Unpack kdz flasher, and install msxml.msi.

#3) Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe set "type" to 3GQCT and "phonemode" to DIAG.

#4) Choose the .kdz file to flash.

#5) Click "Launch software update" and wait. Phone must be connected in download mode(!). KDZ installer might get stuck but DO NOT disconnect it. (Unless it stays that way for a hour as a example).

[Nexus 5 General] jnbanda:
IF YOU EVER WORRY ABOUT USING UP YOUR 100 MINUTES AND DON'T WANT TO SET UP A SIP ACCOUNT, KEEP READING.

***THIS APPLIES IF YOU HAVE A GOOGLE VOICE NUMBER THAT YOU CONSIDER YOUR PRIMARY NUMBER***

So I know everybody and his/her mothers already knows about the beauty of Tmo's $30 prepaid plan, which comes with 5 GB of LTE data (2G after that), 100 minutes, and unlimited text. I just wanted to add a tip that I thought might come in handy.

My personal situation is the following:

--->Tmo subscriber with Nexus 5 and two phone numbers: Google Voice and Tmo. (I have LTE coverage virtually everywhere I live. No hit or miss.)

--->Ported my old Sprint number over to Google Voice. This is the only number I give out. I don't mind not having full MMS functionality just yet (I can receive MMS from other Tmo subscribers). My Tmo number is just linked to my Google Voice account.

--->I have Hangouts and Google Voice apps/extensions installed everywhere and anywhere: Nexus 10, Nexus 5, laptop, work PC, etc.

--->I have a yearly subscription with Skype ($30/yr) that I use to make calls over LTE. I like the integration with my phone, especially when I use Google to make calls with the "OK Google" detection. The Skype Dialer always comes up as an option, and I'm allowed to decide whether to make calls over Skype or via the phone. (This allows me to show either my Google Voice number or Tmo number).

So my personal setup usually involved answering the calls over Hangouts via my PC, since I always had access to the internet via WiFi or LAN.

But now with the Hangouts and Google Voice integration, I let Hangouts ring whenever people dial my Google Voice number, and I set Google Voice to not ring my personal Tmo number anymore. Whereas I used to debate about whether or not to set up a SIP account, now I don't need one. Hangouts will automatically ring my phone whenever people call my Google Voice number, and whenever I answer the calls, they are automatically answered over LTE. No more worrying about using up my 100 minutes.

This, of course, depends on the user having guaranteed LTE, HSPA+, or even decent 3G everywhere.

With regards to the Skype subscription, I may or may not get rid of it. I like being able to dial using my voice, and the Hangouts Dialer currently doesn't appear as an option for making calls whenever I issue the voice command.

Hope somebody found this useful. Comments welcome.
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
Been doing something similar since Google updated Hangouts—particularly since my home office is in the basement and I get poor T-Mobile (same prepaid plan) coverage there. Go Google!
[Nexus 5 General] jnbanda:
Sounds like a plan! I just hope that the devs can hammer out a few of the minor issues with Hangouts, specifically the lag. All in good time though. Happy to have what I got so far!
[Nexus 5 General] adrman:
I also disabled forwarding to my sip did and tm #. Hangouts/GV is doing just fine on its own.
[Nexus 5 General] denis_y_s:
Does someone knows if the Google Voice app now can be uninstalled? Will I be able to make and receive calls with my Google voice number from the Hangouts without G.Voice app?
[Nexus 5 General] mrlad:
You shouldn't uninstall the voice app as it's still needed for other apps trying to use a dialer.
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
Outside of call setup, I have no lag! That said, Hangouts does seem to use FAR more of the battery for calls compared to the built-in Internet calling.
[Nexus 5 General] jnbanda:
I guess it depends on how you want to make and receive calls.

I uninstalled the Google Voice app because it no longer receives my SMS messages. The messages automatically get forwarded to Hangouts.

Furthermore, I don't make calls using the stock dialer app, so I don't have a need to make calls from my phone via Google Voice. (I don't need Google Voice to generate an automatic number for the person I wish to call anymore. This issue led me to saving two numbers for every contact: one labeled as their "true carrier" number, and one labeled as the Google Voice assigned number that I would see on my phone.)

If you still intend to make calls using the stock dialer, I'd say leave Google Voice installed. If you don't plan on making calls through the stock dialer anymore, but instead wish to make and receive calls via Hangouts only, then it should be OK to uninstall.

***NOTE: Be sure to check the two boxes in the Hangouts App settings labeled "Incoming Phone Calls" and "Messages" under

Settings->"yourgmailaccount@gmail.com". If you don't want your phone to ring twice for every call, you need to disable forwarding of calls to your carrier number through the Google Voice website settings, under the tab "Groups & Circles". Be aware that your phone WILL NOT RING THROUGH THE STOCK DIALER APP ANYMORE if you disable the call forwarding. It will ONLY RING THROUGH HANGOUTS, which requires an active internet connection.***
[Nexus 5 General] jnbanda:
Hmmm.. Interesting. The only lag I see is in the amount of time it takes to launch the app and allow me to open up/tap a conversation. At first I had a few crashes when I would try to open up a convo pretty fast, like immediate tapping on the screen as soon as Hangouts launched. The crash issue seems to be resolved with the update. Perhaps it is an issue with my personal setup. I'm running rooted/stock/Franco kernel/Dalvik.
[Nexus 5 General] seagood3:
Still uses minutes

I have been making calls through the hangout dialer and have confirmed that the call is going out as my Google Voice number. The problem is that it still uses minutes. I just got off the chat with a rep at T-Mobile and she confirmed that on the $30 T-Mobile plan VOIP and wifi calling still use minutes.

Is there any way around this?
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
I have the same plan. Hangouts does not use your plan minutes—just data. That said, T-Mobile does have a special Wi-Fi Calling option, which does use minutes, but it’s not available on the N5, at least not at this time.
[Nexus 5 General] seagood3:
Are you rooted or something? I have a moto x and running 4.4.4. I just put $10 dollars into my account yesterday and have using google hangout dialer exclusively and now am down to $3. I had a chat with T-Mobile just now and the rep confirmed that it does use minutes. What am I missing here? The rep even credited me $7 for the confusion that I thought it would use data not minutes. She said that on the post pay plans it does not use minutes.
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
Nope. Not sure what’s going on—unless somehow your T-Mobile number is involved. Hangouts simply uses data so I’m uncertain why your minutes are being decremented.
[Nexus 5 General] seagood3:
I even tried putting it in airplane mode and turning wifi on and it wouldn't connect. Can you do that and it works?
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
Weird. I don’t have cell service in my basement, but do have Wi-Fi there, and I have zero issues making calls from Hangouts.

Is there a way to purchase this plan before going to the US? I'm planning a trip and will need this as soon as I arrive.

Thanks in advance!

ps: I already have a gv #, everytime I travel to the us I have to go to a mall, explain that I need a short term plan, get the sim chip, wait for it to work, call t-mobile complaining that I've run out too quickly... lol
[Nexus 5 General] frigidazzi:
The only way this would be happening is if you're not really using the hangouts dialer, but using the Google voice app which integrates with the regular dialer on the phone. In that case it will use minutes, because you're using the regular dialer (ie minutes) where calls are being routed through to Google voice.... not the same as using the hangouts dialer directly.
[Nexus 5 General] vboyz103:
If you use Hangouts to dial phone numbers, it should not use your minutes. I had this $30 T-Mo plan for a while now and been using it with the 5GB just fine.

One way to check is using the Android Phone Dialer app (NOT Hangout dialer) and dial...

1. Check for minutes: dial #646# (#MIN#) then hit the talk button

2. Check for data usage: dial #932# (#WEB#)

You should see your data usage going up and talk minutes should remain low.
[Nexus 5 General] salvorhardin80:
I would make sure hangouts and voice are updated and that you have hangouts dialer installed. Make sure that under settings in hangouts is showing your gvoice number and if you open voice that it let's you know that hangouts had taken over. Use the dialer to make a call that will be easy for you to see the caller ID. Your gvoice number should show up.
[Nexus 5 General] chaco81:
i dont have GV....

i do have Tmo $30... i love i can call everyone now over LTE since now calling my parents once wont kill my 100 minutes....BUT, people i call see "UNKNOWN" on their caller ID when i called via Hangouts... thats the only thing that sucks for me because most of people wont answer those types of calls, i have to text them before calling saying to expect it.

wish there was a way to set a ANI number on hangouts to show my number
[Nexus 5 General] biggiestuff:
Sounds like you haven't set up your google voice number yet. Go to the google voice page and set up a customized number.
[Nexus 5 General] chaco81:
ah ok, so once i get a random google voice # (since i cant port my Tmo #) that will show on the caller ID....

but then people still dont know that # belongs to me until i start sharing that #.....

makes more sense now... wonder if i should even bother getting a second # or just deal with the unknown #....

(had my # for 10+ yrs and dont wanna be changing on that now)

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
Do you still have your Google Voice number forwarding to your carrier number??? I had experienced the same from answering incoming calls with the Google Voice number forwarding to T-Mobile. I actually used up all my minutes last month by doing so. I was able to make outgoing calls through the Hangouts dailer even though my minutes were at 0. If I tried calling out through the T-Mobile number it would not go through as I had no minutes left.
[Nexus 5 General] biggiestuff:
I used to run with google voice number only.

Pros:

make calls from any device

text from desktop as well as make calls

no group texting

MMS is half baked

voice texting is not fully compatible yet.
[Nexus 5 General] mcca555:
You can select your number and area code

You can in fact actually port you tmo #

https://support.google.com/voice/answer/1065667?hl=en

I however do not recommend it.

I recommend setting up a google # and telling your friends and family to save is as Chaco Google. That way they know who is calling when you are out of minutes and they know how to reach you in case you are out of minutes.
[Nexus 5 General] spc_hicks09:
Ok I'm new to T-Mobile and to GSM devices in general (former VZW customer) so I have some questions for those of you on the $30 prepaid plan. I have a N5 on the way and I'm currently already on the $30 prepaid plan. My questions are:

1. Is it really as simple as just putting my T-Mobile SIM in the N5 when I get it?

2. Will my current balance still be active when I switch phones? Or will I have to reup the $30 again?

3. Do I have to flash any certain ROMs since I would be on T-Mobile service?

Sorry for the noobish questions but I've been on Verizon for about 20 years and finally left them for T-Mobile about 3 weeks ago. I really have no clue how GSM phones work or how prepaid balances work. Any insight is greatly appreciated, thanks everyone!
[Nexus 5 General] BinkXDA:
Yup!

Balance should still be there!

Nope! Welcome to an unlocked phone!

Congrats ;)
[Nexus 5 General] spc_hicks09:
Thank you sir! I look forward to bringing some more development to this device. I know Team OctOS already has a build here, but maybe I can port some stuff over or something. Either way, thanks again and I can't wait to get my hands on my first REAL Nexus device. I previously had the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon which can't even be considered a real nexus device. *Anxious*
[Nexus 5 General] PaisanNYC:
The is something that you are doing wrong or not explaining correctly.

If you make wifi calls via Hangouts, it uses data, not minutes.

If a prepaid user (like the $30 plan) was using T-Mobile's WiFi calling, it would deduct from the minutes.

T-Mobile's reps do not care about or support Hangouts. It is not their service. The rep was correct that T-Mobile's WiFi calling will deduct from minutes on a prepaid plan.

If you think I may be wrong, then go to one of the T-Mobile forums out there and ask. You will get the same answers.
[Nexus 5 General] spc_hicks09:
So when I get my N5, I can use Hangouts, while connected to my home wifi, and it will use data? That doesn't make sense because you're not using data if you're connected to Wifi.....
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Wifi is data....Its just not cell data.
[Nexus 5 General] yaconsult:
Google voice still used minutes - does hangouts? I switched to Harbor Mobile.

Some of us that were using the TMO $30 plan switched over to Harbor Mobile to get unlimited voice and text plus 1 GB of 4G data for $30 plus tax, depending on state - in my case $3. There was also recently a promotion that increased the amount of monthly 4G data to 2.5 GB until 2015 and they upgraded my account to that. I just checked and that is the current offer on their web page. You can activate with any unused TMO sim instead of buying one from Harbor.

I could never get SIP calls to work reliably - especially in the car. And google voice calls used minutes anyway after the call was connected on the $30 plan. I have all my incoming and outgoing calls using my google voice number now. Yes, it uses voice minutes but it's working well for me now that I have unlimited minutes.

I have been very happy with Harbor. The tech support and phone service is from TMO, Harbor just does the billing. The only thing I've noticed is that it seems like a small company as far as hours to be able to contact them, sign up, etc. Mon-Fri 9-5 and closed weekends, holidays - so not like dealing with a huge company like TMO.

Since google enabled voice calls through hangouts, has anything changed from the time when we would use google voice to do the same thing? Hasn't the google voice function just been pulled into hangouts? And does it still use voice minutes when used with a prepay account like the $30 TMO plan?
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
Calls made using the stock dialer wether you have google voice enabled or not will use minutes........It will always use minutes when making traditional calls.

Calls made in the hangouts app are VOIP. Meaning its data only....no minutes. Data or wifi its still only data. It won't count towards you minute plan.
[Nexus 5 General] yaconsult:
Thank you for the clarification. I tested it by calling an ANI test number from hangouts and it verified that the call came from my google voice number.

What has been people's experience with making hangout calls while driving? When using cell phone minutes, I can talk for 30 minutes while driving at 60 miles an hour and carry on a conversation without any dropouts. How well would that work using hangouts? Back in the days of google voice calls, I would get constant dropouts while driving making it pretty unusable.

I guess what I'm really looking for are opinions about cell vs voip calls when out and about. Sure, it's going to work fine when you're at home sitting next to your wireless router. But what about when you're out and especially when you are in a moving vehicle? I will do some testing when I'm out this week but would be interested in the experience of others.
[Nexus 5 General] david279:
I tried that a couple of days ago and it wasnt too bad. I was connected to LTE(Sprint) the entire time and the call was clear with no breakups.
