[General Questions and Answers] eXtremeDevil:
Hi, this is probably a silly question, in the sense that the answer is simple, and yet right now I'm a bit lost. My total internal storage capacity, according to Windows when my phone is plugged, is 226gb. Also according to Windows, and file managers on Android, all the content is taking 180gb. So far so good. But on Windows I see free space: 16gb. So, 226 - 180 = 46.

Removing the 16gb free, that leaves me with something unknown taking 30gb. Is it the system, the apps, the apps data? If it's the system, I think 30gb is way too much. If it's the apps, also I think it's too much. If it's the app's data, that's actually OK, but I thought that data is usually on the internal storage. If not, were could it be?

I think this is a mix of all the three, but, to be certain, I would like to know a way to check the system size, the apps size and the apps data size. Can this be done? Thanks!

EDIT

OK, just found out that system is taking about 14gb and this is already excluded from the total capacity shown on Windows, so, I still don't know where the 30gb occupied space may be coming from.

[General Questions and Answers] eXtremeDevil:
Yes, du reports 180GB on internal sdcard, that I know. But if total is 226GB and free is 16GB, 226GB minus 180GB actually give us 46GB supposedly free, so, where are the 30GB left of the occupied space?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK a portion of the internal sdcard's total capacity is used to store certain functions including optimizations of the memory that support performance and endurance and therefore is not available for user storage.
[General Questions and Answers] eXtremeDevil:
It's not available, yet it shows as space taken? Would that take 30GB?

Sorry for making a new post instead of an edit, but there's new info and I think it should be separated. So, I've been playing around with the df and du command, and here are the results. I've deleted a 40GB folder from internal memory so forget about the numbers on the first post:

156G total

I have a couple of questions here. Is it the /data/media from df equal to /data folder? If they are, according to df there are 160GB occupied, but according to du theres 156GB in use. Where are the 4GB left?

Also, if those paths does not relate to the same thing, according to df there are 160GB occupied on "/data/media", but according to du theres 131GB in use in "/data/media". Where are the 29GB left?

I hope my questions make sense. I feel like I'm missing something here about how spaces a partitions work on Android, so let's hope someone can clarify me that.

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Only to have mentioned it:

Android typically ( ext4 FS ) allocates disk space in 4KB chunks. Means the disk space allocated for files you store always is a multiple of 4KB. So storing a file of size 1B will allocate 4KB, if you store a file of size 5KB then 8KB disk space get allocated ...

Disk space allocated for a file in the rarest case is file's real size.
[General Questions and Answers] eXtremeDevil:
So you mean those 4GB left may came from that fact? So the "/data/media" from df command is the "same" one as "/data/" from du command?
[General Questions and Answers] shivadow:
Data/media is its own thing and sits next to data/data, data/obb.. AFAIK its a new thing and contains all the media related to apps and games etc.. Presuming video and audio files.. I wouldn't delete it as it might bork apps but you might be able to delete certain ones if they won't affect the OS..

Any storage discrepancy will be in cluster size and bits to bytes conversions.
[General Questions and Answers] eXtremeDevil:
I'm talking about the difference in labels between commands.

According to df:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/data/media 226G 160G 67G 71% /mnt/runtime/default/emulated

According to du:

131G /data/media
156G /data/ (total)

So, if the "/data/media" label from df equals the "/data/media" label from du, I'm missing 30GB (160GB used vs 131 GB used). If the "/data/media/" label from df it's actually the data partition, then I'm missing 4GB (160GB used vs 156GB used). You get what I mean? If they're the same I could understand 4GB discrepancy, if they are not the same, are you saying the filesystem format actually eats up 30GB out of nowhere???
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
In your case /data/media is a mounted partition ( block device ) with fixed maximum size 226GB. It houses the directories /storage emulated/<UID>/Downloads, /storage emulated/<UID>/Musics, /storage/emulated/<UID>/Pictures, storage emulated/<UID>/Videos, ...

The mentioned partition may already have so-called bad blocks, i.e. unusable blocks. It is not uncommon for sd-cards to have 2-6% bad blocks when they leave the factory.
[General Questions and Answers] eXtremeDevil:
And the /data folder is also inside this partition, right? Because that one is taking 156GB according to du... if not, why according to df /data/media has 160GB occupied and according to du /data/media has 131GB occupied? Why this discrepancy?

Been trying to get my Note 20 Ultra working again after a screen replacement and the phone went BSOD. Screen was tested and confirmed working. So I put in a new motherboard. Screen still doesn't work. With no touch capability how am I suppose to set it up? *I did try ODIN, but failure since I can't put it in the correct mode.* **I took this picture off my TV screen since it does put video out with a USB C to HDMI cable**

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bankai_droid:
I have heard that it will pull the necessary data down if your sim is in. But I can't verify that until I get a working screen in it. I'll keep digging...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bankai_droid:
I'm hoping that my replacement screen is just bad and they'll swap it. Apparently BSOD is becoming a common thing with this phone. Even my parts supplier is asking me. I want to test my old board, but I lack knowledge to do so (and probably equipment as well.) From what I can say is that it affects all things screen related. So no picture, no touch and no S-Pen. So it could be a chip problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Replacement parts must be the exact same part number. Some of the model variants parts are not interchangeable!

Out of circuit assemblies are also susceptible to ESD damage. ESD protocols should be followed when handling these assemblies. At the very least wear all cotton and raise room humidity to 50%.

Hi,

on my A52s 5G (SM-A528B) most recent version of gcam that works is 8.1, anything higher force closes immediately.

Thank you! Can you do raw/dng bracketing with this version? (-3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3 EV series)
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] LNQ:
Yeah you can configure really a lot of stuff, though I didn't test the raw mode.

But I created a config with some moderate changes to image quality and general configuration for the different lenses of the device since the provided ones didn't work properly for me.

Could share, if you like.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] tamas970:
Sure, many thx! I'll try to dig in the raw story, because this sensor definitely has more potential then the 8bit jpegs.
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] LNQ:
Here it is!

A few notes: The most relevant options I changed are in Settings -> Modules.

For the lenses to properly work I had to set the option "Session of photo modes" for each lens to 61448 OR 61444 (both work).

You can tune every lens individually there, which is a pretty nice option to have. Most changes are really subtle. I spent a lot of time with the night mode and the HDR/Image Processing settings. Its really just a base config on which you can build up.

Easiest way imho is to only change one option at a time and take test photos. You really can get lost in there but I rather enjoyed it!

Enjoy! :)

I have a problem with the latest version (now) the viewfinder just freezes after few seconds of opening the camera.

Tried MGC_8.4.500_A10_V6 and MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix

And I'm on the latest one ui 4.1
[Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G] sanderbos:
You're footer mentions Xiaomi Mi 9, but since you are asking here I am assuming you are using an A52s?

MGC 8.4 is not so interesting because it lacks many image quality features that the 8.1 series has. So MGC_8.1.101_A9_GV1zfix is the way to go with MGC.

For the A52s viewfinder freezing is a known issue that you have to work around. And in later 8.1 series they slightly changed the way it is fixed, which means older config files don't apply the fix correctly.

I think the config file shared in this thread earlier was very similar to the common luke config file, so I attached a version of the luke config file that also fixed the freeze on the GV1zfix version. You can load it by double tapping next to the shutterbutton (or from Settings|Configs|Load in the app).

(and there is endlessly more discussion about gcam on A52s in this thread).

[Touch GSM General] playboy4u2nv:
i've been using 8gb in my elf for over a year and did not ever have any issues or hangs so i would recommend it.

just my 2 cents
[Touch GSM General] d1srupt3r:
Wow! Thanks bro for the feedback! :D Will buy 8gb now.. hehe..
[Touch GSM General] htedum:
Been using it for two weeks now; no problems at all. I've overclocked to 273 using HomeScreen, maybe that helps. Loaded up 6G worth of music and 1G worth of movies. Installed PocketPlayer (and TCPMP for movies), and I have a slick, portable media player. Battery life isn't bad at all, but I've ordered a 2500mAh replacement, waiting for that to come in.

A tip - be sure to pick up an original, name-brand card, even if you have to pay more. A lot of fakes going around, they may slow down your phone.

@vette95: No problems with your fake? :)
[Touch GSM General] d1srupt3r:
I've been searching google how to detect fake micro-sd but unfortunately the only info I got was to make sure the serial of the memory is readable and also try to call on the manufacturer and confirm the serial. Of course, I cannot do that when I am in the store, to check each items and call them. LOL. So do you know other ways how to know it if it is genuine?
[Touch GSM General] htedum:
The best bet would be to avoid ebay and the like; that's where most of them are floating around. Since you're buying retail, you should be pretty safe, since you can go right back to the store if you discover that it's fake.

From what I've read, there's also the issue of classes; best pick up class 6 or at least class 4. Class 2 will be slow.
[Touch GSM General] zxt:
Also check the packaging. Check if the fonts are printed alright and not fading or anything.
[Touch GSM General] d1srupt3r:
I have already bought a 4gb sdhc class 6 kingston micro-sd. There is no 8gb available in store so I decided to just go with 4gb and just upgrade when I need it. It was fast and I guest it is not fake(though I'm not sure). Thanks for the advice guys. I hope this will also be helpful for people who are planning to upgrade memory. :)

As far as I know, Transcend and Sandisk are the brands that are flooding in the market which are fake so I really looked for other brand. Fortunately I found one and it is made in Japan(the fakes are made in China written at the back of this brands) so I'm little confident with the memory I bought. hehe..
