need some input...i want a s4 so i started lookin around and saw that vzw will eventually offer a 32gb.
Should i wait for it or go ahead and get the 16?
Do you think itll be $250 like AT&T or $300?
i read that 45% of the 16gb already used, id that a prob for ppl? (im gonns root, so im assuming thatll help the bloat)
thx in advance
Well if you're worried about storage lets break this down.
16 GB on the standard. about 1.2 GB of that is going to be eaten up by the file system. The Rom itself uses around 4 or something so I think completely stock (and bloated) its something like 7 GB used, 7.5 GB Free
Now, I loaded every app that I use on a daily basis, and a few games with wifi download and I haven't even broken the 6 GB mark.
There's an SD card slot inside, so you can add up to a 64GB SD card.
All your pictures, music and most applications will be saved there once you insert it (normally).
So I ask you, is the extra 16GB worth the wait (and money)? Honestly I don't think that you'd ever run out of room but if you're worried then you can probably wait.
Verizon was doing the 16 GB iPhone 5 at 199 ($200.00) and the 32GB at $300.00 so I would expect to see the same thing with the S4

How long of a wait is it? And im sure its gonna cost more. Could be $300 w/a $50 mail in rebate to make it $250. Its not that bad but I should have waited..lol oh well

64gb cards are $50...... So ask yourself if paying $100 for 16gb more is worth it

If you really need the storage than wait for the 64 or get a 64gb microsd card. Otherwise, just get a 32gb sd card for the 16gb model, it's cheaper and available now.
thx for the quick replies

didnt know the 64gb cards had dropped to $50...i got a 32gb but imma check out those 64gb more often now for deals/sales...$100 for 15gb no way, but $50 more and a few weeks to a month i was considering it
If the 32GB was available on launch day, I probably would have purchased that one. However, I don't really need the 32GB. I loaded all of the apps I have used in the past, and it is less than 2GB worth. I don't really download or play games outside of emulators. All of the roms are stored on the SD card. Most of my memory usage comes from movies, which my 64GB SD card holds just fine. Most pictures you take can be set to store on the SD card, but a few camera modes don't allow it. You can always move the files to the SD card after they have been captured to free up that space again. I think when you first turn on the phone, you have around 9GB of free space from the original 16GB. I still have about 7.5GB free and I don't think I will be digging much deeper into that.

The Google Edition is confirmed to only work on AT&T and T-Mobile. The Developer Edition isn't worth it as current firmware GS4s already have bootloader workarounds.

There's little reason to wait for one with more storage. Expandable memory is so cheap these days, it doesn't make sense. Plus, with the amount of things you can store in the cloud, physical storage simply isn't worth the time or money

Thanks for the info. Just ordered it to and will be switching to HERO once it comes in.
nice..just ordered one.
I got the same one from them, works fine on my phone but i dont have apps to sd or any of that rooted stuff..
My first one fouled out, but was able to reformat it and it worked again. I have a A-data that is working strong, but for this price you cant complain. I got my spare
I use this card, paid $18.99 for it a couple weeks back. Been great so far.
They are all sold out now. Sorry guys that missed it.
Yeah Ive been using this since December with apps2sd and asuch with no problems. It's a great buy. Amazon has them too
Just got my card yesterday. Patitioned with Paragon, installed 3.9.1. It is working beatifully. I DO see a slight dif in speed from a C4 card. Great buy.

well it better LOOK brand new, cause the one I'm sending to them looks like its never been used... except the screen don't turn on anymore.
Just had 2
2 Refurbs from last week (or maybe 2 weeks ago) came as original issue.
My Rezound # 4 still ran hot, so I called VZW for a refurb (refurb # 1; those other 4 were during the worry free). First refurb came and it shot up to 130 degrees almost immediately (meaning, I set up market, downloaded battery indicator; and then while it forced an update of the 7 bloatware apps which were updated since the original market, it got super hot). Called VZW and they dispatched another one, while I sent back refurb #1.
Refurb 2 came, and didn't misbehave, so I temprooted while I could, restored titanium, and once again, turned my back for too long and it processed the OTA. At least I had Titanium Restored.
Epilogue: I kept Rezound # 4. Refurb # 2 ran about the same temps (idled hotter but didn't get as hot running apps), so I stuck with the phone I knew worked.
I just have received 2 in 2 days..........first one came with a bad earpiece and the 2nd today is great. Both came with the latest software and both looked just like new.
Well, my phone did not arrive today as promised. I called Verizon, and the guy who answered very apologetically explained to me that "the manager" had "rejected" my warranty on the basis that he didn't want to approve the free overnight shipping.
They said that they tried to reach me via telephone unsuccessfully, to which I replied: "So let me get this straight... I went to a store for a new phone cause mine didn't work. You didn't want to pay to send me the new one overnight, so you tried calling my phone which you knew didn't work to explain the situation, and when I didn't answer you just cancelled the order? Brilliant work. I can see how you became the biggest wireless company in America." ...to which I got an awkward pause followed by more ass-kissing from the guy on the phone.
So anyways, hopefully this time it gets done correctly. Once again they promised to overnight me a replacement Rezound, however its beyond the cutoff for it to go out tonight, so I won't actually get it til Friday. Ahh, so frustrating!
Damn man, what a freakin' joke though. For such a simple and straightforward exchange this is turning out to be quite difficult a task for them...
Well I am on replacement #3 and I just got it home opened the box and what do you know? The frame on the USB connector is loose. It makes all kind of rattling when the phone vibrates, I had this problem with refurb #1. Hopefully #4 is lucky. This one had the latest ver 2.01 OTA already installed. Phone looks perfect otherwise. I am going to be calling Verizon in the morning. The people that work the phones at night are generally useless when it comes to the tech support end of it, although they do have some good people over there...

HBOOT 2.10 most likely means that the firmware has not been updated to the latest OTA. That COULD be a good thing if an S-OFF exploit becomes available for that HBOOT. One would only assume that the newer one might be harder to break. However, it really doesn't matter if you are careful, S-OFF just makes everything straightforward.

All Rezounds come with 16 GB.
Here's a guide for the classes:
Class 2 is 2mb per second.
Class 4 is 4mb per second.
Class 6 is 6mb per second.
Class 10 is 10mb per second.
Google is pretty cool bro, you should check it out sometime.
Side note: I own a class 10 and if you transfer a lot of files to and from your phone, I highly recommend spending the extra cash for the speed.
I thought that people where having trouble with the class 6 and 10 and having the phone recognize the sd card. I think I only saw one or two posts on it so maybe it wasnt wide spread.

Lies.
It will be a refurb! Your best bet for a New one is going to a store. I did back at Christmas time when my original was getting almost to hot to handle and was operating extremely slow. When you called you should have insisted on a new one! I got my original on November 27th and it was December 28th that I went into the store and felt with the salesman and I told him it has only been a little over a month and that I was not taking a refurb. And he said "well let me see if we have any in the back" and low and behold they did. I was thinking he was going to give me the box and take my old one and send me on my way but he had me take the Sim out and he put it in the new one and put the broke one in the box that the new one came in with the headphones. Darn! Thought I was going to make out with an aditional set of Beats, but no such luck! BUT I did keep my 16gb card from the old and he left the 16th in the new so that was a bonus!

My first one was perfect til the screen mysteriously died. My first shot at a replacement went well too... I don't expect any issues with my replacement phone so far.. It seems to be in perfect shape.
so my nook color went belly up on me.. my geek squad warranty got me a full replacement or exchange for an upgrade. so i took upgrade.. but i did little to no research as i had expected them to just fix it.. so asking the sales rep when isaw the tablets i asked " whats the diff from the 8gb to 16gb" his reply "storage space" .. now i come home head to xda only to find out theres a ram difference.. question is.. is there a huge difference in the ram usage? do any android apps really need more then 512 ram? or should i just fork over the extra 50 bucks and get the 16gb
my two cents worth, pay the fifty to get the sixteen . . .
If you ask me, the extra $50 is worth it. You have double the storage and double the RAM. In addition, development on the 16GB model is further along and you'd have more choices of ROMs and get better support if you're stuck. This is just my opinion though.

dont need BNs warranty i have the geek squad "i can drive over it with a truck then take a hammer to it" warranty. just curious if registering has anything to do with flashing the internal memory
If you plan on flashing over the internal OS, there is no need to register. When I got my nook, I made a bootable sdcard with CWM, booted into it, mounted to my PC, transferred CM7 to the internal storage and flashed it. From there I eventually flashed CM9 and only saw the B&N OS when I tested albert's nandroid backup.
tl;dr no need to register if you plan on flashing a rom.
HTC is close to launching the successor flagship model to the HTC One. HTC has not revealed the launch date. Nokia has adduced evidence which suggests that the launch date is in the first quarter of 2014 and possibly as early as February 2014. HTC has not contradicted this.

This looks like a very promising upgrade for me. But I really am not a fan of phones without SD cards these days...
SD cards are old hat. Don't need them. they are slower and have more issues then on board storage. Just make the new devices with 32gigs minimum of on board storage and all is well.
Nothing more irritating then SDcard 0 and SDcard 1. How many times has this driven good Dev's batty? Ask the sense 5 rom porters.
Not too mention the only reason the EVO LTE doesn't already have a multirom port is because the sd card issue. Years ago I would have told you I needed an SD card slot. Truth is I buy an sd card and throw it in and forget about it. Hvent removed it since the EVO lTE was new and it might have well just been on board storage. I have a Nexus 7 and love the fact that it doesn't have an SD card confusing everything. Love not having to remember which drive the rom is on when flashing in recovery. "now lets see...did that download go to sd card0 "downloads" folder or sd card 1 "downloads" folder?" Yeah enough of that trash!
SD cards are for OG nerds, you fill up a 32 gig phone and I say go buy a real video camera there Spielberg.

That's just it, you put it in and forget it. And in the process, you buy 64GB of storage for $40, instead of $300 (or, not at any price, for most phones). I use pretty much all of my storage on videos and other stuff. That doesn't need to be fast.

Still, I'd love to see them keep it looking pretty damn close to the One. One is the sexiest phone I've ever seen, but I had to skip it due to no upgrade, so anything else made won't look as goof, unless nearly identical.

I have a Nexus 7 and love the fact that it doesn't have an SD card confusing everything. Love not having to remember which drive the rom is on when flashing in recovery. "now lets see...did that download go to sd card0 "downloads" folder or sd card 1 "downloads" folder?" Yeah enough of that trash!
SD cards are for OG nerds, you fill up a 32 gig phone and I say go buy a real video camera there Spielberg.

I could fill up a 64 gig card with music alone. I don't find it confusing because I don't use the onboard drive for anything.

SD cards are old hat. Don't need them. they are slower and have more issues then on board storage. Just make the new devices with 32gigs minimum of on board storage and all is well.
Nothing more irritating then SDcard 0 and SDcard 1. How many times has this driven good Dev's batty? Ask the sense 5 rom porters.

Some people like to have most of their music with them (me included), and NOT stream from a cloud with ok reception and eat up battery life. Maybe a 128 gb phone would be acceptable, 16 and 32 are not enough, and haven't been for yrs. Better graphical games are bigger nowadays as well. And I have tons of games, and all emulators on mine. Seriously, stop bashing on people who like options. U want to be ruled by Nazis, than get an iPhone! Sorry, but that's my 2 cents
