[Q] User available storage space & camera/gallery starting speed - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I've searched the forum and haven't found any information on those 2 subjects, so I'm asking here, hopefully that's ok
First of all, I wanted to get a 32GB version of the S5, but it seems it won't be available for a while in Belgium, with no indication on a release date (the only thing I heard was "maybe in June when they release the other color models").
So I was thinking of getting the 16GB again, despite the need to use things like Foldermount, but I was wondering what the user available storage space is this time compared to the S4?
The other question I had was because of the review on Techradar (http://www.techradar.com/reviews/ph...ng-galaxy-s5-1226990/review/10#articleContent)
They say the following :
"I wasn't always impressed by the speed of the phone either - the camera could take a while to load, games sometimes showed lag and opening the gallery will always be a sticking point for me."
From what I heard elsewhere, the phone is pretty speedy for everything, so could you guys (who have tested out the phone already) confirm how it is for you?
Thanks!

Out of the box, the user gets 10.7GB free space on the 16GB model.

Sorry for previous post (now it's edited). I turned off image loading so i didn't see the image. Now i understand the question and no i never saw a g3 like this. I'm not sure if this is a real picture... look at the buttons... they are quite "strange"

I'm pretty sure I've seen this one before..
Going to do some research

Its not a G3 for sure, look at the touchwiz and even the interface is not the same.

I agree on that but the outside is all the same.... :/
could it be some indian version of the i5801?
http://www.priceindianow.com/samsung-i5801-galaxy-apollo-india-price/
that is a pre production model, those pictures were probably taken when they were doing a preview of the phone, before it was released to market.
Looks absolutely different. I can see Spare Parts, Java Me, Coverter, Dev Tools apps. These were not there when i bought the phone. Looks like a hybrid phone

Nope.
I have the Indian version......
Interface is definetly different..status bar, "touchwiz"....
And two homebuttons...maybe the one what we use as a home button isnt home button.
I dont get it, why isnt there normal touchwiz, we are using
Maybe it's chinese copy?
Its a prototype of the galaxy3...samsung decided to shed some of those buttons to make it look better and cut costs

Better yet, don't use the phone and get even more free RAM. Or just turn it off..100% free RAM!

Try downloading the 'AVG tune up' I find this great for clearing caches, running apps, history cleaner, message and call cleaner and it seems to run perfectly, do you have a lot of apps downloaded because even though you might not have opened the app they can discreetly run without you being aware, also go to you settings and applications tab and scroll sideways til you come to processes and this is where you see everything running.
i upgraded to custom rom cm11m9. %25 diffirence and phone is good now. no stuck anymore

Hello,
RAM should be always free from running application because running application makes devise slow and hence it create bad performance.

This makes sense. SDXC supports up to 2 TB. LG just lists up to 128 GB because that's the largest size currently available.
Yes, Upto 2TB

Yes, Up to 2 TB external memory. The fact is that there are no 2TB sd card in market, right?
so who's buying me one?

I REALLY want to. However, I plan on buying this device anyway. If I am fortunate enough to win one, I will be sending it to you. Developer support extremely important.

That one in particular is small enough and works well, but I find the blinking LED while in operation quite annoying. I suppose there's nothing than can be done about it, or is there?

Debloat

Does anyone have a list of recommended items to turn off? Just ordered my S7 and should have it shortly. Switching from the original Nexus 5.

You can disable apps but not remove them. Kind of a bunmer. I was debating on going 5x as the s7 has the lock feel that Iphones do

JAYNO20's list is probably fine but there's more discussion on this in the battery thread here if you're interested.
Thanks all!
Thanks much. Lots of help for a noob like me. I found the app. I'll study it carefully. Some of the stuff I'll want to keep or be afraid of doing right now.
