[Q] only 10.36 GB ???

Hi all, just noticed my 16GB Note 2 has only 10.36gb available. Should it be more than that ?

normal i believe. after system files and things like that i have like 9 and change free

This is quite annoying really. What makes it worse is that you can't move programs/apps to external SD Card ATM.

its not so much a bummer for me bc i dont install much. i love the phone so much i over look this :good:

True. We need to get the App 2 SD implemented. There are so many games i would like to install and haven't because of this reason.

Blows my mind that some people don't understand that 16gb will NEVER mean 16gb of usable space for users. And with microSD cards being so cheap I don't get why it would ever even be an issue. Best Buy had 64gb Sandisks on sale last week for $39...

Try installing 1 GB games on the SD card without rooting and without having the App 2 SD option.
App 2 SD option is needed urgently.

it doesnt mean I dont undersrand, it just isnt acceptable to loose nearly 6gb of storage space. Loosing 2gb is acceprable but nearly 6gb is apalling. Can you point me in a working workaround to install apps to external sd card then as the only one I can find a lot of people are saying it doesnt work or function very well.

Maybe you can use Directorybind? Works for me, doesnt work if you are not rooted tho

How much can I get for a dying G2?

So my brother's G2 is finally dying and he's going to get a new phone soon (probably a Nexus 4 or GS4). It has some scuffs and scratches but nothing big on the screen or keyboard. The main issues are that vibration doesn't always work and there are random glitches like freezing, screen flashing, and very poor performance. Most recently it won't even turn on even though the battery is fine. Anyway, he wants to sell it to help offset the price of his new phone. With all the problems, it is probably only useful for spare parts but it must be worth something.
So how much would we be able to sell it for? Any recommendations on where specifically to sell it? Also since its broken should we keep the accessories and only sell the phone itself?
Thanks

Yeah the phone is bootable, it turned on again yesterday and is currently working and charging just fine which leads me to believe something is wrong with some internal contacts or soldering. It only stops working and being able to charge every week or two for a day then after swapping the battery a few times it works again. I'm not knowledgeable enough to fix it so I'll definitely sell it if anyone is interested.

Meenova SD card Reader

So I backed Meenova SD card reader when they first came out and I have gotten a chance to play with it now. So far. I like the capabilites that it has.
Price: $12
Its priced adequately and for those that like to store large files ( movies, music, videos) it's well worth the price.
Fuction:
the Meenova Card Reader allows you to read any micro sd card on a tablet or phone. This is especially useful if your tablet or phone does not have removable memory.
My uses:
I work in cell phone sales and this will allow me to transfer files such as contacts videos pictures much easy to certain phones that don't have removable memory. I also want to take videos that I take with my GoPro and transfer into my tablet so I can edit them and upload them much faster than I will on my laptop.
Using it:
In order to use it on your Nexus device you have to download a Nexus media manager for $3.99. It's well worth the price for being able to download and stream your video right of that the card on a non rooted Nexus. Although I did have to pay for an application, I do believe that it's a software issue with Nexus not necessarily the card player. Overall it is a perfect buy.
My opinion:
Overall I think its a phenomenal by for being able to transfer pictures movies videos contacts etc between devices with removable memory and non.

I haven't tried writing to it yet so I didn't know it wasn't allowed. And I was doing so good stock lol. I guess it's time to root it lol.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

Yeah, stickmount is highly recommended. I use it with my OTG cable and connect it to both flash drives and my 2TB external HDD.
Works flawlessly! Give it a try, it's free!

I'm not sure. I don't have a 64gb card.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

I also have the otg cable and is fine for the controller and a fast data transfer, but for watching movies I guess this is much better and confortable.
I guess I'm gonna get one.

Which format is supported depends on the device and SD card, see stickmount: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1400034
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Waiting for mine. I only preordered so hoping it ships soon. I have an otg cable, but on long card rides I can just load up a few movies on an sdcard and plug the meenova in. Much better for my son instead of having the otg cable hanging or me having to keep on transferring files back and forth.

was checking my pre-order of 28 august (no kickstarter backing) and saw this on the site:
Pre-order shipping will start on September 18th. We expect to clear the backlog of all pre-orders by September 30th.
So it will be shipped soon now

Sure hope it ships soon. Going on a month now with no notifications....let's hope they don't rush and skimp on production quality.

Free S3 (Damaged)

These forums have helped me a lot over the years, and so I would like to give back (even though this is a very crappy gift). But I feel like this may have value to someone.
I have an AT&T Galaxy S3 that has the following damage:
Corroded USB
Cracked Screen - Just top corner, touch digitizer is not damaged.
No IMEI #
I gave up on this phone and ended up going to the S4. I would prefer if it was someone who was actually going to use the phone and not someone that was going to piece out the parts to make money.
We can work out a safe way for you to pay for shipping.

I'll take it. Pm?

Yes, It is still working. The reason I switched is that I am not very good with a soldering Iron, and didn't want to get the usb port replaced. The only way I could find to fix the lost IMEI number is via USB.
I was using it up until yesterday.

I have two batteries (one is extended) I have a battery charger that I use to charge them and just switch them out.
I don't think I have done anything to unlock the SIM. You can calculate shipping online I'm sure. My Zip code is 75206.
What are your plans for it?

However, until you try it (or someone else) it's just an assumption (both ways - yes or not).

I actually think there is a way to partition it using a tool in windows or Linux that splits it into two 64gb "sd" cards. So it's one card but in the phone it comes up as two. I think.. I'm not sure if this still works.. I remember seeing this "trick" in the s2 forums years ago when I had that.

This works on the note2, I don't see why a similar setup wouldn't work for the s4.

It will work but after partitioning it. Get the card and post back if you need help on how to proceed.

NO T-Mobile said themselves 64 GB is max, however if you partition into 2x 64 might work... Have not tried tho
