As above. Obviously I have the 128 GB model but only 121 GB's of that are available. MIUI 8.0 Chinese Stable.
I am guessing this isn't your first phone right?!
Every phone has an OS (Android for Mix) and that takes us that space.

Sorry it's just that my G3 and my S3 system only took up like a GB. Granted they were both 16GB models but still I just thought it was a bit unusual for a system to take up that much space. My bad. Thank you!

You must have had counterfeit phones, both of those models O/S took up a lot more than a GB of space.
Regardless, typical O/S from the mfg range from about 6-7 GB minimum & upward....

I was slightly wrong, the S3 system is about 3GB and the G3 about 4. I've literally never had a phone apart from the Mix with more than 6-7GB of system storage. To be fair, on both the S3 and the G3 I am running Cyanogenmod thus why it might be so low. They both have Gapps though.
Oh well, strange.

Hello guys!
I am coming from the XDA Droid X2 forums. I've never owned a tablet and I am considering to buy the Galaxy tab 8.9 or the Galaxy tab 7.0 plus as my first tablet.
Given that I own a Motorola Droid X2, I am taking several precautions to ensure that my next purchase isn't a giant pain in the ass. So, firstly, I would like to ask you guys if you recommend this tablet or if there is any other 7 - 9 inch tablet that you feel is better than this.
Do you think this is the best 7 - 9 inch tablet and that I am making the right decision? Do you think I should wait for the Galaxy Tab 7.7? I don't want to buy it if it is significantly costlier than this one.
Are there any hardware or software quirks with this device? On my Droid X2, there is one, presumably hardware, issue which causes problems with music playback. We frequently get music stutters. Are there any such minor or major problems on this device that may be potential deal breakers? Apparently there is an SOD (sleep of death) and WiFi issue with the Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus. Is there something like that with this one? I hope not (fingers crossed )
Secondly, is this device's bootloader unlockable? If it is not, that is a big no no for me. I know it is rootable. I noticed that there are several CM9/ICS ROMs out there and that is a big plus. But does this device have official ICS yet or will it be getting it soon?
Overall, are there any quirks I should be aware of about this tablet, or in general about Android tablets? This being my first Android Tablet purchase, I dunno if there are any caveats in choosing Android Tablets over iPads.
Also, the lack of a micro SD card slot troubles me. I know 16 GB is a lot of space, but still the ability to freely expand memory is comforting.
I am very sorry for this huge post. Please bear with me and reply to as many queries as possible.
Thank you very much in advance. Hoping to be a part of this community!
The 8.9 is fully hackable, like most Samsung devices. Bootloader is not an issue.
It doesn't have official ICS but Samsung has promised ICS to this device at some point
In terms of issues Tegra 2 in it of itself as a issue wit HD video playback.
8. 9 is a very manageable size tablet. The 7.7 is on paper a better device but it does have a steeper price you need to consider.
Your biggest set back in Android tablets vs iPad is the number of apps. That has been bridged a little but it is still a big flaw to note. I personally love the Android customization and i am well invested in Android Apps to bother changing.
If you want expandable memory then their are plenty of other Android choices. I think 16gb is plenty in the world of cloud storage
Google Music streams your tunes
Google Docs does work documents
Picasa will web sync google+ and picasa web albms
Dropbox or sugarsync let you store misc files
So there are NO random, potentially fatal/deal breaking issues that a lot of users are reporting, right? Any other problems that people faced?
At this rate, I may consider 8.9 over 7.0 plus for the more vibrant community and the higher res display/larger size.
Thanks.
Btw, guys, do you know what the difference is between the Exynos SoC found in Samsung Galaxy 7.0 plus versus the Tegra 2 on this device?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exynos
The Exynos 4210 is the chip currently in the SGS2s and some SGTs. 4412 is coming soon, but hasn't hit just yet.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tegra#Tegra_2_series
T20 is the most common, found in most phones and tablets. Has a weaker CPU and GPU than Exynos, lacks NEON instructions.
Anandtech has an array of benchmarks for both throughout their smartphone/tablet reviews.
Thanks for the help guys! I went ahead and bought the Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9!
I sincerely hope that this was a wise choice. For anyone interested in the details of my decision making process, I wrote a rant here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22791976&postcount=27
Ultimately, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 prevailed over the Mammoth Motorola Xoom and Acer Iconia A200
So, I officially say hello to my new community

Samsung Galaxy Tab WiFi (16 GB)
Btw, it says that it has 16 GB but I have only 13.11 GB. I always hated that. Almost every device claims that it has X amount of space but they always have less than that.
I was hoping that this device had say 14.5 to 15 GB but now that I realize it has only 13.11 GB, is that going to be enough or a problem?
Did any of you ever find it troublesome?
Thanks!

Clean install . of 4.4.4 then ota . the antutu test happenend with just the phone's apps
Have found first few issues with 5.0.1 stock:
1. Heartrate sensor is almost always active -- if you put your finger or anything else on the sensor it's going to flash red. All the time, even after reboot and no SHealth running.
2. Interruptions mode settings are not complete. HERE you can see how it's done in S5 lollipop firmware, but in Note4 I don't have "Sound mode" settings and no interruprions settings from the volume button menu, only through Settings -- Sound Notifications -- Interruptions.
Next update needed.

Question! Is running ART? if yes, is there an option to go back to Dalvik.
There's no new API for camera. Google, Motorola, Sony and (I guess) LG imported them. Just Sammy doesn't updated it in Lollipop. Pretty dissapointing as it was the only feature that I wanted in this version. Note 3, S5 and S4 are affected too.

Only Google has actually used the Camera2 API in the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6.
Motorola, HTC, Sony and LG are all not using them on their Lollipop updates. We may expect them to support it on 5.0 released devices like the S6+

They hyped up the new touchwiz to be less bloated and faster. Yeah. OK.
Reboot your phone. All the bloat is in the ram and it shows. It's embarrassingly ridonkulous. I bet battery life would improve close to an hour of SOT over a day's worth of use IF IT WASN'T USING CPU ALL THE TIME TO RELOAD APPS AND REARRANGE BLOAT.
I am disgusted by you Samsung. 3GB of RAM. 3GB!!! Sad to say but I think the note 5 isn't even on my radar. You took removable batteries and expandable storage away from us. Not to mention multi tasking. And you didnt fix it with the 5.1.1 update. Not even close. Worst $700 I spent.

I agree with the whole memory thing. It seems Touchwiz is still pretty bloated.

I'm sure you've noticed, the dev scene is gone. Just like ios got a lot of features from the jailbreak tweaks, Android has gotten a lot of features from rooted roms. Honestly, what do you need a custom rom for nowadays? Unlimited hotspot? That's really the only feature left for them to make standard.
And don't say it's because you want a vanilla phone. If you want vanilla, don't buy an S6. Buy a nexus. The CM Team has all but dissolved.

I wouldn't say they are all for nothing. The performance on the phone is the smoothest and fastest I ever had on any phone. The battery life for a device with its battery size and screen resolution is very good as well. The only bone I have to pick is just the memory management. I wonder how the international releases of 5.1.1. will be. I'm not expecting anything really different but you never know. I'm still enjoying the experience of this phone and even if I wanted to get rid of it there isn't anything out there at the moment that I would rather have.
I thought this site was XDA-Developers not XDA-CryBabies ???
Seriously, why are you whining? Go exchange the phone it's that simple. I for one and loving my S6 and would never even dare to put wackkk CM on here to ruin the amazing camera. Go buy a 1+1 if ya want CM......

Not only did Samsung drop the ball but they lied about less bloat and just hid it in the RAM. My note4 isnt as smooth but it sure as hell manages memory a lot better and there is room for improvement at that. Many of us feel burned at the potential wasted at the expense of Samsung's poor coding, selfishness and lies.

Essentially, what I'm reading is that you bought an S6, to not have an S6. The Nexus 6 may not have a 64-bit processor, but it is one of the smoothest running phones in existence. If it's that important to you, learn to build your own ROM. Be the dev you want to see. If it's not that important to you, don't complain about the phone you purchased. You could've waited for the next stock andrid phone.

@Slicktune you bought the wrong phone. You've been *****ing about CM since a few days after the S6 dropped. We'll be lucky if we see CM before the end of the year, realistically. I'd say there's a 70% chance we'll never see it. So, either suck it up and deal with TW or bounce to the next device.

On reading up in the Galaxy Nexus forums, I saw that the TI-OMAP 4 was not supported in AOSP Lollipop and above. Is this why our OMAP phones perform poorly on ART based ROMs, while ROMs using the dalvik compiler are smoother? In AOSP Nougat, the Snapdragon 800 and 801 chips using the Adreno 330 GPU are no longer supported as well. I guess my question is if it will it be possible to reverse engineer OMAP-4 drivers for Nougat that can support the new surface view texture renderer?

I MIGHT be possible to support it, but would take a bit of work, offloading that stuff to the CPU (which is just what we need, right?) and all of which is above my skill level.

The performance problems are probably a mix of slowish eMMC (have to load the precompiled ART files, and they're not exactly tiny), lack of main memory (ART has a bigger memory footprint), and an unsuitable CPU that was outdated when the phone was built, nevermind nowadays. The latter two are what seem to really kill us in CM13; if we're not stuck reclaiming memory, we're saturating the CPU : \
Having Motorola stroll in and develop some up-to-date, optimized drivers sure would be cool, though...hardware is hardware, but good firmware can make a lot out of little.
Nougat is apparently taking a step back and re-introducing JIT execution...so if our resident maintainer does somehow pull off yet another miracle and we get CM14 on here, I'd expect less I/O and memory pressure at the very least. The stock partitions would become viable again too, what with /data/ not being clogged by ART precompiles, and being able to run off them might also offer a (small) performance increase. /system/ is gonna be a tight fit, though...
But using drivers built in two previous, different eras of Android, most of which were for another device...seems like it's gonna take some serious work.

Nougat build is up. No, I have not died, and neither has the Galaxy Nexus.
Decided to take an extra couple days to get this build stable rather than rushing out something that boots and does nothing else, sorry for the delay.
I can't verify the full functionality of the RIL since I don't have a SIM in my GNex these days, so let me know if there's any issues with that.
Everything else should be working well though.
No idea what to do for GApps at this time. I haven't tried them yet.

Really hoping this old beast will get CM14 due to the coding magic of stargo or some other guys out there.
I recently aquired a completely new Droid 4 from a Verizon reseller in mint condition. Now I never want to live without a slider again!
It is a bit slow, gets hot sometimes and becomes pretty much unuseable with Google Play installed, but who needs that stuff anyways.
Can keep me warm in winter and after replacing stock apps with Naked Browser and Simple Music Player it runs well and fast.
Please don't let this slider die. The only alternative to this device is the Photon Q and this needs to be soldered due to the missing SIM slot.
Bro i think it will have a cm14 for the droid 4

Hi folks!

In order to not spam this thread anymore with LMK issues and memory tuning, I created a new thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-4/development/wip-custom-kernel-lowmemorykiller-t3470411

This is cool. I'll test these out here as well. If things look good I'll see about getting LMK changes added to the cm13 kernel and upcoming cm14 kernels (work just began).:good:

Not really confirmed (as in no promises it will ever be fully functional as of yet). Just started working on getting things compiling. After that, it's along ways a way from anything usable as there are some new hurdles to overcome thanks to additional lock-downs on SE Linux. So yeah, :fingers-crossed: is right.

The flagship is more popular usually and has more support and developers.It's logical, that's what I wanted to say. You have less popular version of the device, that's why there's not much developers.

I wouldn't say it isn't the same device. Its merely updated a calendar year later. Of course thats a year too late to get the name flagship. I am fairly new to owning HTC phones but it seems after the Lollipop version of things started getting too fast paced for the phone manufacturers. Hard to say it isn't the same phone. Even though it isn't
Would it be hard to make the TWRP, for the phone, do you think? The TWRP found in the forum here appears to be stated for Lollipop only...I had no luck using it on my (unlocked) MM 6.0.1 build# 2.20.401.1 phone as a temporary fastboot boot recovery.
I just got the duo effects for the first time on an M8. Wheras the duo cam is obvious in the m8s, it only shows itself when entering editor on the older M8.
