Probably best to dl and use root explorer etc to see what updated date wise for specific folders, haven't tried yet but should be easy..

I did that before asking. If you find something please let us know.

Android/Google maps/cache..
The files are not named anything that you would recognize but time and date confirms, also it looks as tho offline storage auto deletes itself in 30 days. There is an older version (Google Google Maps 6.8.1 ) which allows storage and real use of offline maps using other apps..rnmaps I think..
Hope that helps

I've been trying to find the where app for a few days and can't locate it in the market. I removed the sim and it still didn't show up (that worked for a few other apps). Anybody have any idea what's up with Where?

What's the Where app?
I'm just taking a guess, but if you're looking for WhatsApp, it's here:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.whatsapp&feature=search_result
I had the same problem with my Atrix. The Where guys are awesome. They sent me the apk and then automatically sent updates every time one came out. Look them up and send them a note. It was one of the best app experiences I've had,

Download it via the developers site

It's there a way to let Google Now work without having to give them permission to track your location?
I'm one of those paranoid types who hate being tracked for no assistant reason.

It actually relies heavily on knowing your location in order to provide relivent information and responses.

When you search for stuff around you, how's it supposed to know where you are?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Well I guess you'd miss out on a lot of the features but you'd still get voice searching and those things, but would this work?
Go into system settings and find Location Services, uncheck those boxes they're used to pinpoint your location (Google location service, GPS Satellites, Location and Google Search). Try that or maybe two of the three. Never tried it myself so dunno how it would work
Nope, it says I have to enable it to continue using google now

I wish I could disable mine. I'm tired of bumping the search and it coming up.
I used titanium backup to freeze mine.
Wish I could reassign the button though

Has anyone else found the random hidden videos in their s3? These videos don't show up when you go to Gallery > videos. I found 2 videos in /system/media/video . 1 called android in space the other called sunset.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yeah I found. Since then wondering what would be their use? They may have use for specific system feature.
The only way to have found them is by having root access or via es file explorer or something similar. Just another of Google's Easter eggs?

They reside on the preload partition, have no use and come from Samsung.
Not exactly "hidden" if you ask me.

Not true, they are part of android, not just Samsung.
Also they are not in preload, they are part of system/media/ as already mentioned.
They are in all android installations, CyanogenMod has them, aosp has them etc. etc.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
The reason for them being on the device as with other phones and tablets is so you can check video play back along with checking the screen quality while playing videos.

I would say they were hidden, a normal user wouldn't be looking around the root file systems. Most people who don't know what UNIX is would have no idea that there are directories other than what they can see on /sdcard

From normal user perspective they can be defined as hidden. I agreed. Wih Root and android everything.pretty much. is naked.
So I lost all my pictures during the update process. I thought it was going to be similar to flashing a ROM where the DCIM folder is untouched.
Is there anyway to recover photos lost?
**** ME.
How did you update?
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
The computer. The OTA update kept freezing. I'm religious about backing up....lost about month of pictures.
The instructions on the website state if you use the computer method you will lose all data. I looked at it earlier because the thing is moving so slow.

4.3 puts pics in a different folder, you didn't lose them. I cant remember the names of folders, but if you search you will find them. then use file explorer to copy them do the new default folder. SDCARD vs SDCARD0 i think

I thought it was weird that 6.6gb were used in "other" after the update. I can't find them exploring the phone. Any idea where they're hidden?
The DCIM folder is empty.

That is normal that the other says about 7gb, the pictures are gone most likely... Do you have google+ backup enabled?

So when you open your gallery there is nothing? When connecting via usb to computer it's empty. Going from 4.1. To 4.3 changegs the way the root folder is shown. It would show up as sdcard0.

Then I would assume they are gone. If they got moved they'd still be showing up in some gallery app or computer.

You can try to find some file recovery software and see if that finds anything.
I'll give that a go when I go home. Its just I lost a lot of pictures with sentimental value to me :-/
