That would be good. The S4 also has incompatibility issues with many headphones, causes audio clipping (cracks and pops)
Why are people moaning about this? I thought everyone knew manufactures advertise the maximum capacity not the available capacity. I mean it's not like some HTC without an sd card slot. I think the smearing is more of an issue.

The smearing is an issue as is the audio clipping.
Most of the tens of millions buying the S4 won't be aware. . Any why should any company claim it has a certain memory, but then not clarify whats useable. Thats being transparent surely?
If anything I am hoping it pushes the need for 32gb versions to appear or become the minimum standard for JB.
To me its not the claiming 16 but only providing 9 usable GB, its the insinuation that you can just buy and use a microsd and the issue goes away when in fact all you can do with the msd is download content from your PC ie movies n music, I expect they'll blame Google for the change and to some degree they'll be right but it's still down to Samsung to provide more actually usable by the phone memory, it's the only real reason stopping me buying an s4 now.
Actually that's the reply I did get from Samsung. They blamed Google. That's ok, but let people know what the memory free is and about saving apps, caches etc...
They didn't as they were selling millions of devices.

That figures, they might get away with it as for many 16gb will be enough and a % of folk angered by the limit will swallow the Google did it spin however Sam are living off a previous good reputation hard earned IMHO this will cost them sales of the s5 and limit the longevity of s4 sales.
I dont think its acceptable because all companies have less. The 16GB N4/iPhone have 13GB free and Im sure the S3 had 12GB free. The fact the S4 uses so much up is silly. Losing a few GB isn't too bad. Losing all that is terrible.
Why do they blame google for the free space issue. Maybe samsung should put less bloatware on their phones.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
This is an issue across the board. When you buy a computer with a 500gb hard drive you get less space due to the os being installed. It's just in this case nearly 50% of the capacity is gone.
They may as well put 32gb in from now on, use up to 16gb for their os and sell it as a 16gb device.

I'm not pleased about having almost half the internal storage being taken up but can someone answer me this:
If external memory can't be used for large games (supposedly goggles restrictions) why can the game 'Bards tale' install it's game data to your sd card if you choose to?
I have and the 3.5gb went on my 32gb sd.

That's good news. Probably the exception rather than the rule and decent developers, and a fav game of mine. I believe Bards Tale specifically has an option that understands also the S4 partition. Sadly other games like Need for Speed MW dont do this. If you use Google Music, it caches songs into internal memory. If you rent a film from Google Play, again it goes into internal memory.

I agree. I know nfs can run if rooted and foldermount is set up to use the msd. So if developers added the option to install on to msd in their programs this wouldnt actually be as big an issue for some of us.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
Google doesn't want apps on the memory card, internal memory is better for running stuff, and I have no problem with this so long as we have a reasonable amount of internal memory to start with. I personally would love to root and use foldermount but some key apps of mine detect if phone rooted and if rooted they don't work. Bummer.

It is not an issue of moaning. The device was released with a fancy chipset and content providers pushing 3d and social cloud apps with a device with less than 9 gb out of the gate. To make matters worse, there is only one carrier and just in the US offering a 32gb option for the customers- that want to actually use the apps being marketed and pushed by content providers.
The big issue is both Samsung and major retailers misleading customers that the 16gb is fine, since you can install apps to the sd card. Something that Android team got rid of for two reasons. Android team hated the feature and carriers complained about the customer service cost (a lot of people did not get that swapping cards or using cheap cards was the problem).
I know that the nexus 4 had some issues in November where it was sold out in 20 minutes then taking Google a while they re-stock. Will this be an issue with the nexus 5 ? Share you're opinions

Nexus 4 didn't have OTG support (without custom kernel and external power, which defeats the purpose). I'm still waiting for confirmation for the Nexus 5. OTG drains alot of battery and not the most convenient either, but it is one of the key feature I'm looking for.
The Nexus 4 launch was a failure because Google didn't expect this much demand from the Nexus 4, but Google has learned their lesson and has told LG to make a lot more Nexus 5s for the launch than last years Nexus 4.

I have a 64 gig sd card with 15 gigs left and 16 internal gigs on phone. Hd videos ,hd games take a lot of space plus if you have a little one you tend to take alot of pictures. 16 internal with no sd slot for most people won't cut it. I could fill that up in a weekend.

It really bothers me when people try to make this argument...it's so self-centered, and besides, it's a fallacy. Your argument is this: Because you won't fill up 16gb of storage, it must be true that no one can have any possible reason to fill up 16gb of storage.
Everyone's usage patterns are different. Here's some logic that's not a fallacy: Because there are many people hoping and asking for a 32gb or 64gb option, it must be true that many people need more than 16gb.
Now, here's the part that really angers me. Why don't they just offer the user a choice? 16gb for $299, 32gb for $349, 64gb for $429. How hard can that really be?

You're right, and that makes me mad too. Do they think we all have unlimited data? I certainly don't. Besides, there are plenty of places I go where I don't have the best signal...I'm not going to be watching movies on my phone in my house, or in the middle of the city! I'm going to do it when I'm on a road trip, or on an airplane, when streaming is not an option. Not to mention storing nandroid backups, where cloud storage is never an option.

Dumping the S4 and possibly my Verizon contract...
I'll get rid of the S4 if Nexus 5 comes with sdcard, better screen and better battery life. Otherwise it'll end up as a bluetooth audio player in my car, same as the old Nexus 4. And it's gotta be way more resilient than the N4 to be daily driver.
Dumping mine as well. Tired of Samsung os updates taking forever on the Canadian devices after international updates are released. Also not a fan of knox with not giving the ability to return to complete stock for resale. Battery size isn't a big issue as the n5 will not have all the battery draining extras and I hear 4.4 will be better on battery life. No as card isn't a big deal for me either as I already have a usb otg cable.
Have to love Google's marketing strategies... don't say a word about the device and let the people create it's own hype/Buzz.
Should be able to flip the s4 for a n5 and have enough for a case... which I have already ordered

I see this reason stated all the time and it's simply not true.
Read this article from Android Central from last year... It's got the real explanation. For those that won't read, it's because Google prefers to have one volume with an emulated SD card. Not because they want to force you onto their cloud storage.

That makes no sense to me. Are they talking phones like the Sensation 4G that had 4GB ROM space and SD Card. Well a very easy fix. Give us 16GB or 32GB and SD Card and problem solved. We have enough space for all the apps we want and we can have removable storage for unlimited space. I personally don't care that much on a phone like the Nexus 4 I had, but when I had the Nexus 7, I really wanted an SD Card. I think that was more of a lame answer than the true reason.

I'm definitely getting rid of the S4 and getting the Nexus 5.
I got the S4 at launch, so the newly relocked MF3 (AT&T) bootloader isn't a problem for me, but the idea of it is. The fact that Samsung is releasing all these new phones with locked bootloader, maybe anti-root kernel, and now regional SIM restrictions I am very unhappy. The nexus 4 looked okay, but no LTE = no sale.
Sure, I will miss my SD card, but having a phone that can be bootloader unlocked in a second & knowing there will be lots of development for it (its a Nexus) makes me very excited to get it.
And I love my Nexus 7 2013, its a great device.
Wow i'm glad to see people realizing how crappy phones with 3rd party OS covers like Touchwiz are. N4 stock is much more responsive and virtually lag free, unlike the newer S4
No ill keep my s4 but more than likely pick up a nexus as well.. as long as the release it in white!

I agree with you. I don't see any plausible reason to not include both 16/32 GB internal plus removable storage nowadays.
Nevertheless, I don't think it's a conspiracy to keep people on the cloud.
I also agree that on a tablet it's much more useful to have an SD card than on a phone, since tablets are media consumption devices by design.
I've made my peace with it though and have adapted, but I can appreciate other user's reasons for wanting removable storage.
Luckily we have choice with Android and multiple vendors produce excellent hardware to accommodate any user.

locked bootloader? what a joke. But the main problem with S4 is bad stock firmware. My S4 would've been out the car window at freeway speeds if I had to deal with laggy, battery-gobbling TW bloatware.

I'm hoping the IPS on Nexus 5 is better than S4's amoled but it's unlikely. Try a S4 next to the G2 and see if you'll like LG's IPS. I found it less suitable for indoors (backlight bleed, low contrast) and you can't get the same range of saturation or color profiles like AMOLED. IIRC the contrast is a limitation of all backlit screen technology, same with limited color gamut & intensity. It's still a good tradeoff for unlocked bootloader, guaranteed best dev support, S800 w LTE.

um, BBB is not useful
they basically accept money from businesses, and businesses put their label on their website. BBB doesn't do much other than that
Any site that still thinks there is a difference between the 32GB and 16GB battery is misinformed and I would not buy anything from them. That was a false rumor going around about the Nexus 5 having 2 battery sizes.
The website is also outdated/amateurish looking and not the type of place I would input any credentials into.
There's a post within a "3000mAh" thread somewhere in the general section that mentions how to get a 3000mAh battery into the Nexus 5 - I'm pretty sure it involved a LG G2 battery and de-soldering the N5's battery pcb and resoldering it to the G2 battery.

Why not just buy battery case? Its a case with battery built in. Internal battery plus the battery case will go way over 4500mah.
I saw one for about $50 on amazon.
only con is that adds little thickness but I think its better approach over risk breaking trying open up the phone.

Hi!
heres a really stupid question!
i checked imei.info for the specs of the my google nexus 5. Based on the results i should have a 32gb version of nexus 5. However, i have only 16gb of internal memory. How come? I have bought this phone from a electronic shop in Finland and they sell it as 16gb model while the specs behind the imei.info say it should be 32gb model. Have i missed something?
cheers!
Peter
Boot in to fastboot. It'll list 16 or 32. That's what you have.
My guess is that website is just wrong.
Did you pay 16 or 32 gig money?
I entered my imei and it lists my device as a d821 model when in fact it is a d820 one. So the site does not have very accurate info
So you bought what was listed as the 16gb version and your phone does in fact have 16gb of space, but you think it should have 32gb because some random website says it should? And it bothers you so much that you felt compelled to make a thread about it? Scratching my head on this one...
thanks!

Thought I should mention that short of looking at the physical device or the bootloader, it shouldn't be able to tell which model/capacity the device has, as all 4 possible model/capacity combinations are all simply reported as "hammerhead" or "Nexus 5". Pretty much every Nexus 5 will show up the same depending on where you check (e.g. HWBOT Prime shows all Nexus 5s as D820 16GB).
