wrong info in XDA device panel

when I go to the xda-developers.com, click on forums, then search for sprint galaxy note II.... the right forum comes up and it gives the basic info in the panel above the threads. In the panel it claims the Sprint Galaxy Note 2 ROM size as 64GB. That is incorrect. it has a ROM size of 16GB. it is capable of reading a 64GB MicroSD card but the internal ROM is only 16GB. all the other info seems correct.
16GB rom
2GB RAM
up to 64GB MicroSD

Thanks for pointing that out buddy! To the guy above me, no need to be a douche really. Its in the right section doing no harm to anyone. Now if he would've posted this in android dev OK but he didn't. Who says a mod won't see it here?

exactly, slick.
I would hope we can encourage a community of nice people here, no need to be forum cops for harmless posts that are at least on topic.

I'll send this to someone now! Very good observation!
EDIT: It will be fixed soon.

This isn't a support forum and this very thing has been covered a million times. Just use the search button and you would find it. Nobody here is going to hold your hand while you sit there and do nothing for yourself.

It is along with the 682 other threads exactly like this one...
Your problem isn't new and you're not the first person to notice this. 4.2.2 has been out literally for months and this is a WELL documented issue.
This is why you're getting snarky remarks instead of assistance.
It's not a bug, it's a feature.

why are people being so unnecessarily nasty? you could just say "there are plenty of threads about this, just search" instead of condescending demeaning comments, which benefit no one.

On that note, you may want to peruse the forum rules stickied at the top of this forum, because the very first one covers this situation.
This is not a support forum for those too lazy or inept to do their own due diligence (not necessarily including you in that generalization). You're expected to put a at least a minimum effort into finding the answer- it really isn't that hard. There is no entitlement to being spoonfed readily available info that you are more than capable of finding with just a minimal amount of effort.

In a perfect world, you'd be absolutely spot on. The responses you've gotten aren't necessarily directed at you as an individual. Rather, you're seeing the cumulative frustration from the same thing happening over and over again.

the comments do benefit everyone.
the search button is something you should use (as its in the forum rules). you failed to do this, and this is not a new issue.

And in the future I will look first

[Q] change on build.prop to offer moving apps to external sd card?

Hello to all our brilliant devs on xda - THE BEST DEVS ON EARTH!
I just modded my build.prop on my S3 per a different thread to add speed tweaks to the modem to follow T-Mo's latest speed rollout. I was looking throughout the build.prop and it made me wonder - is there something that can be done to modify the S3 to allow for the moving of apps from phone memory to the sd card? I remember that the S2 had that option but for some reason the S3 does not. I read another thread in a different section of xda's threads about someone else asking if anyone ever figured out how to move apps from phone memory to sd card on ICS and no one answered. BTW - I'm running 4.1.1 Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks much!

Could you possibly refer me to that thread you mentioned before. I sure would love to add speed tweaks to my SGS3.
Thanks

There is a method in the development section for this. If it were possible by a simple build.prop value, I'm sure it would've been mentiond many times.

[Q] 64gb Samsung Micro SD Card problem

Hi there,
I am using Frosty Jellybean v8 rom on my T-Mobile Note 2. After 32gb sandisk micro sd card failure, I decided to buy a 64gb Samsung micro sd card. Unfortunately, I've faced with some problems, too. For example, my stock gallery app can reach pictures over my micro sd card but if i try to reach them with same gallery app or any other pic/video viewer inside of another application (instagram, ps touch), i can not! I tried to reformat my card from exfat to fat32 but no change. I suspected if it is about the Rom and asked same question on frosty rom thread but no answer again. I did not try my 64gb samsung micro sd card over any other rom, yet.
Do you have any idea, what could be the problem?
Thanks in advance.
Ken

Nobody faces with same/similar problem?

Good Lord man there are so many 64gb questions threads made here on this very same forum every day. I am sure someone had answered this. We read the same questions day after day after day. Please please search. Even search Google

It may be the method/program of which you're doing it, seeing as there's alway good programs and bad. The program that was recommended to me was easeUS partition master. It's worked for me when doing it through the default windows partition manager failed. Also if it doesn't work try reflashing the rom after a full wipe. Might be a bad Download. Give it a try and let me know if it worked or not!

Hey! can you tell me how to root the Grand and a good rom that works dual sim mode? Ive heard that CM 11 is good
Thanks a bunch!

well try this link http://www.kingoapp.com/ you can download it free but you have to enter a serial no. to get the phone rooted if not it wont root it just run and it doesnt root the device...
And for the Custom rom you asked.. I must say CM 11 does not support dual sim function neither any ASOP based roms have this function for the time being but try Pyramid_k3 rom and GENNXT SUPERIOR ROM. I've personally used these roms and they are really good. But be adviced that the device must be upgraded to 4.2.2 stock rom to run these roms
Good luck!

Galaxy Trend Plus
Is there any chance of porting the 4.4 rom from Samsung Ace Style (the new one) to Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus?
The hardware is the same, except for the RAM on Ace Style which is 512MB and Trend Plus is 768...
Trend Plus is currently 4.2.2 only, and have no custom rom

I use custom ROMs in my galaxy grand duos....but there is some problem with my ext SD card.....it keeps on mounting itself as read only....if I manually unmount and then remount it then it is rewritable but after some time it again mounts as read only.....any help plzz....

Hey!
I dont think its something to do with your rom since you have tried to format the sd via pc too.. What kind of format did you choose? Was it a Normal format or quick format? if its a quick format you did try doing a normal one which consumes time but it works? What about the maker is it a good micro sd card maker like sandisk or kingston etc etc...? it might be the prob cuz there are loads of fake sds in the industry sometimes they tend to go bad when it used in high data exchanges... Lastly have you tried uisng another sd card and trying to do whatever the process you trying to do?? if not try it then you can surely know its a sd card prob or not...!
Good luck !

I have not read the posts properly... Bt got 1 idea that ur card not detected after you format via pc...
Do one thing u must have formated using Normal settings... You were wrong here... Just format with FAT... Not with FAT32...doesn't matter if u do with quick format or normal format... But slow format is recommended...
