Is it really necessary to post yet another thread about this?

I should be cautious too....but I won't.

"As you may know, the 16GB variant of the Galaxy S4 comes only with 9.15GB of user accessible memory in which the user installs all his/her apps. The new update addresses this issue by giving the user the functionality to move apps to SD card and increasing the available storage to 9.23GB. This should solve customers? complain about low user accessible storage. This is one of the enhancements in the update, rest of them are listed below."

Is it really necessary to post yet another thread about this?

The large thread about this update was almost entirely discussing the ability to move apps to the external storage. Seeing as tohio's post was the list of full features, if discussion revolves around those other features and stays civil and on-topic, I don't see any issues. I'll drop in the obligatory notice, however: if this goes off-topic or becomes unfriendly, I'll close it. Consider that the warning.

Edit: tohio, if your primary goal is to bring up the aforementioned apps-to-sd-card ability, let's make use of the other threads that have generated plenty of discussion already.

Anyone know what the secure boot status entails?

Anyone know what the secure boot status entails?

Seeing as the changelog item was "Secure boot status (About phone)," I would guess that it displays the secure boot status in Settings > About Phone alongside the other information (phone number, etc.). I can't say for sure, though. The S4's secure boot check has definitely been in the news over the past month or so though.

Interested in new camera firmware and HDR video info. I have been impressed with camera and video shooting thus far.

The update was rolling out in Germany first (don't know where you are located). It will automatically be sent to your phone when it arrives at your phone company. If you frequently visit this forum you will know immediately when the update is available, this place will be abuzz with the news.
