[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D15:
I'm not saying it happens to everyone, I'm just saying it's far more common than damaged whole devices. I haven't had a problem either with my SD card (using it for over 2 years now).

The cloud storage is an option (which I imagine most people can make use of), and it's not meant that you synchronize your data all the time, you can just do it once or twice every month when you have wireless internet. That should at least limit the loss of data because of any damage to your device. But regardless of this option, internal storage is still much more reliable than SD cards on its own.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I'd really like to invite you to try my daily routine for a month. 80% of my 7.5 hour commute by train (per day), my signal is limited to "Emergency Calls".

64GB of internal memory, (the 128GB is far too expensive) that allows for, let's see... 3 hours of film in 1080, give or take. Since obviously everything else will be filled with all the other formerly-on-my-SD data, such as 30GB of magazines, 15GB worth of comics, 5GB worth of photo's, 5GB of ebooks, 25GB of music and... Oh. Hang on. 30+15+5+5+25 = 80GB. I guess that doesn't leave much room for, well, anything.

Now whatever am I going to do in the remaining 4.5 hours? :( :(

Even if I buy the 128GB S6, that would still leave me with over 40GB of missing space (counting 8GB for Android+system apps), since I have a 32GB Note 3 and a 128GB Sandisk MicroSD.

A MicroSD is an absolutely vital component for me. Without it, a device is worthless to me as a mobile media center. (And since I average 2 minutes per month worth of calling... I'm not exactly using it for the mobile functions. ;) )

I've never had a memory card corrupt on me, and I've been using them for pretty much everything for over a decade. Now, cracked screens, damaged phones, random wipes and sudden death syndromes? That happens far too bloody often. I remember receiving over 5000 SDS cases in a month once. A MicroSD would've saved their data...

The cloud is perfectly fine when you're in a country that spans a continent, or you don't leave your home city. And your country offers unlimited data.

Me? I live on the border. There's this nightmare called 'Roaming'. And the biggest available data subscription? 10GB per month. MAX. And it doesn't apply when I walk 1km due east. There's this massive thing called Germany there, where my data is invalid and I have to use Roaming for the price of 2 quid per MB.. :(

Let's see how much that 115GB cloud is going to cost me, then.

115GB, that's 117760MB.

117760x2 = 235520 euro/dollar/pound. I don't know how rich you are, but unless you're Bill Gates, that's not happening.

So. 235520 quid to use all of your cloud once, or 89 quid for an unlimited-use, no additional fees, no network required 128GB MicroSD?

That's not really a choice, is it? :eek:

Make no mistake. well over 90% of the world does NOT have a stable, unlimited, constant high speed mobile network connection. The cloud is useless outside that little bubble.

(Edit: Sorry if that sounded a little rude. Wasn't meant to.)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General_Led:
Yeah i have a bit of an issue with cloud as well. Being that I'm on a 10gb family share plan I am limited to about 4gb a month. Since I use the most amount of my phones capacity when I am traveling(which I do often) I can't simply sync with the cloud. I use about 10-15gb of space when I travel for things like movies(6-7gb if I get the low file sized one), random extra games to play(2-3gb), books, music, etc. And I'll tell you what hotel wifi is the devil. And when I travel to Oregon for example, the person I stay with does not have wifi(I know unbelievable). But either way for me SD space is pretty important. Being that the S6 will be at least $50-100 more to go from 32 to 64 and then from 64 to 128 it starts to ad up pretty quickly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D15:
Not at all. :)

I wasn't talking personally to you. I was talking generally about the pros and cons of SD cards.

As I said in my last post, I wasn't talking about the cloud as everyday storage option, I was talking about it as a safety measure to backup your data in the very rare case you damaged your phone. I understand that you're not home for long periods of time, but eventually I imagine you'll have to get home and you'll have wireless internet, through which you can easily backup all the important data you have on your phone to avoid any loss of data. That was my point.

There are good deals for the 128 GB version of the S6 right now (much cheaper than when I bought the 16GB S4 2 years ago), and there will be better deals in a few months because internal storage is getting cheaper. I was explaining why internal storage, even though it's still more expensive than SD cards (though not as expensive as it was a year ago), is indeed a huge improvement in term of performance and reliability compared to SD cards, which is why it's imo worth the extra money.

I totally understand if for you that 32GB extra (128GB vs 160GB, not 40GB because the Note3 also comes with a system loaded on it) is a deal breaker. But not everybody is in a situation like you. In fact if you asked me for my opinion about what phone you should get I would have definitely told you to get the Note 4, not because of the SD card, but because if you're using your phone to watch movies 7 hours per day then for you the bigger screen will have a higher value and will outweigh the practicality of carrying a smaller device.

However like I said, not everybody is in your situation, and from what I've seen with people around me, most people actually don't need more than 64GB of storage, including me, even though I'll be getting the 128GB version of the S6 because I got a good deal for it. And for people who don't need that 32GB extra (on top of the 128GB) there are a lot of pros of getting 64GB/128GB of internal storage (rather than 64GB/128GB SD card) that imo justifies the extra cost (which is now not as big as it was a year or two ago). After all performance is also a very important factor why we upgrade our devices.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General_Led:
What are the prices for the S6? I haven't seen anything on it yet. I'm in the US btw.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D15:
I got it with contract in the Netherlands and the device (128GB S6) itself cost me a total of 779 euro (the combination of the 16GB S4 I have right now + 64GB SD card cost me about 750 euro two years ago).

Check service providers, it's likely that you'll find very good deals.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General_Led:
There hasn't really been any pricing in the US yet. For us the s6 isn't released until april 10.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Not for us, either. 10 April is the worldwide release date. But the pricing and pre-orders are already available.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] General_Led:
So the note 4 is $199 on amazon. Should I go for it? The GS6 is $199 as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] high247:
Get the Note 4, end of story.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Go for it. :) You won't regret it, the Note 4 is an amazing device.

(199? :eek: Hell... It's the equivalent of $946 here... (today's exhange rate.))
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billybag:
i have been trying to install stock Lollipop on my device. i have followed both http://www.androidpit.com/how-to-get-android-5-0-lollipop-on-the-galaxy-note-3 and http://techbeasts.com/2015/02/14/update-galaxy-note-4-n910f-android-501-lollipop-official/ to the letter. This is also my fourth or fifth time using Odin. Every attempt has failed. i have tried Odin 3.10, 3.09, and 3.07 and got the same results:

My phone's download screen gave thisd message:

until i switched from "N9005XXUGBOB6_N9005XEOGBOA4_XEO" to "N9005XXUGBOA5_N9005XEOGBOA4_XEO" and also freezing any anti-theft app that may be locking my device somehow. Now the screen says:

Secure Check Fail : aboot

i am rooted (running Omega 24) and to be sure, i re-flashed auto-root

i have tried 4 different USB cables

No USB hubs, i am connected directly to my PC

Firewall, AntiVirus, and Anti Malware software are all off.

i have run Odin as admin

Reactivation Lock is not ticked

Some other things me screen says that may be of some help are:

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE

followed by some coupling of letters and numbers and:

Write Protection: Enable

i am hoping that a factory reset can be my very last resort. i am contemplating reflashing my current Omega ROM and then retrying this.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Factory Reset did not change anything
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billybag:
It should be unlocked. i unlocked it a while ago when i flashed my first ROM. i have been flashing Omega roms ever since. i cannot imagine my phone would lock itself back up...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Odin gave you fail in the NAND. This mean that you have lost plenty of files in EFS. Try to restore your OMEGA backup.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billybag:
i REALLY appreciate your time and help, by the way. This is so frustrating. One person told me that they repartitioned and selected bootloader when they flashed, but was not advising me to do so.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
Do you have any EFS backup?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
If you want to flash stock LP, I would just bite the bullet and do it and first get a working system. Then install Recovery and re-root - I use TWRP.tar file so I can flash it in Odin and the SuperSU zip file that I then flash in Recovery.

You don't say which N3 you have but are you sure you have the right ROM for it?

Did you turn off the phone and remove the battery for a bit THEN go into download mode?

Are you using v3.09 of ODin PC?

I've done mine twice for other reasons since LP came out - I untick the auto-reboot so after I flash the stock firmware I can flash TWRP - then it's boot into Recovery and install my custom ROM (I use Temasek's CM12) PA GApps and the SuperSU.zip, then set up the phone - usually I then Restore only Data from my latest TWRP backup but on occasion I've DL'd Titanium from Ply and used that to Restore my apps from extSD.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billybag:
That is what i am having problems with. i know how to flash custom roms. i was also able to flash stock KK when it came out. It is stock lollipop that i cannot get to flash. i am using an SM-n9005 (tmobile). i am going to try different firmware downloads (CSCs) and see what that does.

Also, i have tried Odin versions 3.07, 3.09, and 3.10
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Do you know your original firmware? I'm wondering because some versions have different sized partitions and flashing another type causes fails. i.e. I had a HK S3 and had to flash a PIT file before I could use European firmware. Might it be something along those lines?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ma11k:
Have practically the same situation...

The furthest I've got is the following

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..
<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..
<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..
<ID:0/003> sbl1.mbn
<ID:0/003> aboot.mbn
<ID:0/003> rpm.mbn
<ID:0/003> tz.mbn
<ID:0/003> sdi.mbn
<ID:0/003> NON-HLOS.bin
<ID:0/003> boot.img
<ID:0/003> recovery.img
<ID:0/003> system.img.ext4
<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

But again, with any version of odin and any firmware (lollipop or kitkat) i'm trying to flash, it stucks with

<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.

PS I also have

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE
Write Protection: Enable

and my phone was originally locked to spanish vodafone.

Hi

I was side loading the new 5.1 to both my N5 and N6. N5 was ALL GOOD. N6 however is not. After waiting for a rediculous time for it to reboot when it was stuck on the white Google Image, I disconnected the USB cable. Now it won't boot past the Google screen at all.

I can see it as a fastboot device and can boot into bootloader. There appears to be no recovery. When I try to re flash or side load, I get the warning along the lines of 'unlock before flash'.

So........can anyone assist please?

That might help, otherwise since you can get into BL mode can you try flashing stock recovery from the image you originally had? I guess I don't know if that works or not or if that is what you were trying to reflash..

fastboot command to flash recovery is

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img <--replace recovery.img with the name of the recovery you are trying to flash. It's most likely recovery.img if you are taking it from a stock image.

Good luck.
