Hey,

I am cool with the storage, no removable battery and HSPA+. But on screen button little bugging me lol. Don't you guys think it will used some screen space or you guys don't even bother with that space :eek:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumbdroid:
Having a gnex, i'm pretty cool with them! Capacitave buttons is so 2010 ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
I begrudgingly accept the fate that is software buttons. I don't like them, but I'm not going to refuse to buy a great phone because of them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexmessy:
I'm actually loving em in my nexus 7 so why not in a mobile phone? To be honest I wasn't too convinced by them at the beginning, but after some time I really like them :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazol:
As I said in another thread, if your device is rooted it's just a matter of adding a line to the build.prop file to get rid of them.

I use my GNex fullscreen, navigating with Virtual Button Bar, it's not free but works great. When I need the buttons I just pass my finger on top of proximity sensor and they appear! Totally customizable.

Someone says it's dangerous because you're screwed if the service stops... I never had a problem in six months using it this way.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theoneofgod:
Hardware buttons are below the screen, and to hold the phone with comfort, my thumb has to stretch downwards (a bit too far) causes fatigue mostly on large phones like the SG3. My hands aren't small but to support a phone and use it, it's a pain.

On screen buttons means the buttons are higher up so less strain.

imo.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
same here, the only problem is those on screen button. if they had to added those button, why not make the screen itself little bigger cause there was extra space on the bottom which empty and looks kinda ugly :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackrabbitklan:
I love the on screen buttons, check out the mods for them in the galaxy nexus forum. Customization is fun!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sher The Love:
On screen or capacitive. Just not the physical home button like the s3. I think it messes with the fluidity of a device. Lightly touching the screen and capacitive buttons then having to firm up your grip to push the stupid home button. Such an inconvenience.... lol

Oh the crap we complain about....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xLychee:
I love the software buttons, i even use them on my Sensation, i like that i can modifiy them, i like that they disappear while watching a vid and i love how the device looks while the screen is off, so damn clean.

Edit: They made the screen bigger, 0,1" and 1280*768 instead of 1280*720.

Didnt mind them on the galaxy nexus im sure they will be fine on this :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frigidazzi:
I thought I was going to hate them before I had the G nexus, but now I would hate not having them. With AOKP (and others) you can change the order of the buttons and even add more. I have a menu and search button in addition to the regular ones on mine. You can even program more to quickly open apps or kill an app ect. It really is a huge improvement if you ask me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giant22000:
For those that wish to have a full screen option, check out LMT Launcher. It totally made the gnex experience for me much better. It's an app that can be found on this forum. A video demonstration can be found on youtube as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdogg1978:
I have an Epic Touch running ICS 4.0.4 on Virgin Mobile. Speeds, battery life and functionality are great. I am running Calkulins 1.6 rom. however, i have two issues. the first is mms. i looked at the patches and tried to apply to no avail. all the settings for ro.cdma.operator, etc are correct but no beans on the mms. i even decompiled the framework-res.apk without getting it sorted out. any ideas how to get it working. (i did get it to work on cm9 but overall performance was not as good.

the second thing is the voicemail notifier. it works on cm9 but not calkulins ics. thanks for any feedback.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qew204:
I think the issue with MMS is that, you need to use a pure CM9/CM10 ROM for it to work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
The MMS issue can probably be fixed with a simple APN edit in the ##data# menu? I'm not sure, just saying. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qew204:
I had previously tried that with other ROMs but that will not work. VM has some special way of encoding their MMS so a special fix was needed which works with CM9 based ROMs.

VM MMS FIX
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cdogg1978:
The APN edit is correct but still does not work. I am thinking that there is something in the framework-res.apk that needs to be changed. anyone have any ideas.

I would consider moving over to CM9 however, i use bluetooth audio with my phone in the car and CM9 does not allow for avrcp control in 3rd party apps where calkulins does. the 3rd party control is important to me because i dont want to be screwing around on the phone to change tracks, etc.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Surj138:
The missing piece is in the apk itself (I'm flashed to Cricket). If you check any other threads with alt-carrier mms fixes for our phone (I use og Epic4G fixes successfully), you'll see the mms.apk gets changed. On ICS TW ROMs though, mms gets fixed but incoming sms breaks... installing a 3rd party messaging app (I've used hand cent without issues) fixes that.

So in all, you'll probably wanna change apn's, fix your build.prop, push a modified mms apk, and install a 3rd party SMS app to get everything working.

Wish I could help more but I'm still learning :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] qew204:
Have you tried using the the MMS Fix I posted in my last reply, that has been the fix that has gotten MMS to work. For me anyway on CM9.

If you want to have at it with getting MMS to work on the ROM you are using this might be a good place to start. Original Epic 4G to VM

[HTC Sensation] daz1uk:
Ok,

So I've used roms on my hd2 and one x, so I thought this would be simple on a friends sensation, oh how wrong was I.

I have unlocked the sensation via htcdev, installed clockworkmod and installed pyramids jellybean rom.

Now I have all sorts of issues, the rom boots then drops somehow straight to clockworkmod. I can't mount the sd card within clockworkmod to try a different rom and the phone is now useless, doh.

How can I fix this please guys?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Did you update the firmware? Are you s off or s on? If your s on you must flash boot image. Download 4 ext recovery, enable smart flash in 4ext. This way you can flash boot image. Please read flashing roms with s on. Also for that rom the firmware must also be upgraded. Let me link you to the guide to flashing roms with s on. This will help http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1631861

Someone more knowledgeable than myself can give you step by step instructions to get you out of this pinch. But in the mean time read the link I posted about flashing with s on. It will help in the future. Best wishes not to worry I'm sure you can fix this.
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
HTC Dev doesn't really unlock it. It only partially unlocks it.

It doesn't s-off the device so you don't have access to the system partition, meaning you can't properly install a custom ROM without a few extra steps. And I don't think you can do it at all with clockworkmod. You need 4EXT Recovery which can flash a ROM with s-on. There's a few extra steps to doing it but it works.

You also have to make sure you have the correct firmware. So if the device was previously on a Gingerbread ROM and you didn't upgrade firmware, it won't work.

Now, the part where it boots then drops back into recovery is weird.

Tell us exactly what steps you did so we can better determine where something went flukely.

I'm CERTAIN it's fixable though.
[HTC Sensation] daz1uk:
Thanks for responding.

I've got S-OFF and flashed boot.img with adb.

Will 4EXT allow me to mount the sd card?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes it should

Also some roms require 4ext it's a super easy touch recovery to use. You can download from here or the playstore.
[HTC Sensation] daz1uk:
Yeah I'm certain it's fixable too :), just not sure how, lol. I'll give 4EXT a shot. I have no idea how or why it drops straight to clockworkmod either, I would expect it to reboot to clockworkmod if anything, but it just kind of switches from the rom straight to it, very odd.

If you could point me to a firmware I might need I would be very grateful.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
It is universal 3.33 let me get link also 3.32 will work on most ics roms but 3.33 is the newest I'm running jelly bean and use 3.33

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1459767
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If you are s-off you shouldn't have to flash boot.img separately. It will do all that with the ROM flash.

Maybe that's what's screwy. Though a borked up ROM still shouldn't affect SD card mounting in recovery...that is really weird. Do you have a card reader that you can use to check the card out in your computer? I'm wondering if somehow you screwed up the card when flashing the ROM. Maybe it wont' mount because the card isn't formatted properly anymore. Stuff like that has happened before.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

What does your bootloader say?

hboot etc.

:)
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes if your s off you simply flash from recovery without boot img. But do update your firmware.
[HTC Sensation] daz1uk:
Bootloader says:

S-ON
[HTC Sensation] daz1uk:
Ok, so I think I need to update the firmware?

I've installed EXT4, still cant mount sd, so can't revert to another rom.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

If you are s-on,you cannot update your firmware.

What is your hboot?

:(
[HTC Sensation] daz1uk:
hboot 1.18.0000

Unlocked

S-ON

As far as I was aware S-ON just prevented the boot.img from being written via recovery, which can be done with adb. So the only reasons for these issues must be firmware version right?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

It is a pity you went to HTC to unlock your phone.

I wonder if you can still s-off using revolutionary.

You are going to need to run a RUU,and hopefully get a working phone again.

Try and find a RUU HERE that matches your area and carrier.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Yup. If you have the 1.18 hboot you have Gingerbread firmware, which won't support Jellybean or ICS.

The good news is that you can flash a gingerbread rom and get the phone back to a working state right away if you need to get the phone back to the owner.

The RUU to restore is pretty simple. Then Revolutionary s-off proceedure is also extremely painless.

Reverting back to stock and starting over to s-off shouldn't take more than 15 minutes if you do it right. Then flashing the ICS/GB firmware (3.32 or 3.33) takes 3 minutes. Then the new rom takes 3 more minutes.

Just make sure you RUU to gingerbread and not to ICS. The ICS Hboots are harder to s-off. It's worth adding the extra step to flash the ICS/JB firmware later.
[HTC Sensation] daz1uk:
This is driving me nuts, tried 2 ruu's, both failed, if it was my phone it would be out the window! :)
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Are you Sensation,or Sensation XE?

Doh, my fault forgot to re-lock it, update is installing as I type, phew!

Let your phone go through a few complete cycles.

That should fix it. I for one haven't had the issue
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 1234568:
The exciting features of the Nexus 4 just keep on coming. It seems it will support a technology called SlimPort which allows you to use the micro USB to connect the phone to a second display via HDMI, DVI, VGA and DisplayPort.

The only connector available at present is for HDMI, which also charges the device while connected. Other connectors are to be released in the future.

Info from Engadget.

EDIT: New review from AnandTech. See below:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] FatalityBoyZahy:
Charges the device while it's connected? That's awesome!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 1234568:
I questioned that at first as well. If you follow the link to the adapter and look at the pics you'll notice that it has a USB input. I assume this has to be connected to charge the phone. As far as I'm aware HDMI doesn't carry power.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JCreazy:
Only TVs with built in MHL HDMI Ports provide power.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] 1234568:
I read that the adapter has to have a power source to work... I assume then that this additional micro USB input is to enable use with TV's that dont support MHL.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Deleted member 2842059:
Nothing like this exists now? Intriguing concept.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] johnbyebye:
Will this work without having the charger connected? It seems nearly identical to Samsung MHL adapters.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] senf:
I bought one. It seems like the packaging said something about the micro usb port being optional if you want it to charge, but I threw that stuff away and don't have an N4 to test with.

I think the "HDTV Cable" on the SlimPort site is going to be a cable that's micro usb (SlimPort) on one side, and HDMI on the other without any power input.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] sitnlow4life:
I ordered one as well

Cant wait to try it
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ziddey:
As funny as that sounds, that would actually be nice. I know it's not SlimPort, but I use a Monoprice MHL-HDMI adapter currently. It requires power to work. Unfortunately, it can't negotiate high current and the phone shows USB charge mode. But with the screen active, it ends up losing 10-100ma. I haven't researched the actual micro-usb pinout to see if video uses the usb data pins or what. If somehow it doesn't, I might be able to short them out and have it go into AC charge mode.

Or maybe the better MHL adapters actually do negotiation and do charge?

Either way, hopefully the initial feedback on the N4 is good enough that I can overlook the fixed battery and storage.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jnewman1991:
My MHL adapter charged my GS3 charged when watching the Avengers movie Samsung gave T-Mobile GS3 customers. It was a pretty slow charge, but prevented my battery from dying like it should have.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] phor11:
I think this would be a lot more appealing in dock form.

The cable+block adapters are always a bit awkward to connect up and actually use in my opinion.

Mine arrived from Amazon yesterday but I can't get a picture on the TV, when I plug everything in the screen on the N4 rotates to landscape and the phone loses sound, all good so far. But when I select HDMI source on the TV I just get a black screen.

This is annoying because the S3 worked perfectly with the Samsung adaptor.

There are apparently 3 dongles out there being marketed with a male microusb and female hdmi output:

Can someone please provide clarity on which ones will work with the nexus 4? Specifically looking for someone to post results for example 1

1. Generic MicroUSB MHL dongle cable : these are sold on ebay and optionally have an extra female microusb on them for OTG or power. This one will NOT work on Galaxy S3 bc of pin change. Can someone report if this type works on Nexus 4? It would be the most affordable solution if so

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MHL-Micro-U...748540?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e74de5c3c

2. Samsung SGS3 MHL dongle cable: bc of samsung pin change, this cable was specifically required for SGS3. - Reported not working on Nexus 4

Im torn between waiting for this thing to come down in price or just buying an android hdmi stick. at about $70+ you can get one of those Rockchip quadcore joints, but the software is no match for the support that the N4 has.....decision decisions......:confused:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ziddey:
Yeah, I think I've seen them for even less than $70 on occasion (quad core variants). Kind of wish I got one of those instead of a raspberry pi.. but the biggest problem is that there's still no bitstreaming support to my knowledge.

So when Amazon shows there is 8 available (which it has shown since mid day yesterday), does that mean there is still 8 available right now?

Anyone tested this with playing 1080 mkvs for 1-2 hrs?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wolfboy1984:
Yes. Your phone will melt.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ata1918:
Oh heck yes. İ tried HW 720p output while charging concurrently. The phone gets extremely hot. Suppose you shouldn't watch for 3 hours straight :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ziddey:
I play 720p h264 all the time. The only problem for me is that the charger type is forced to sdp (usb) by default, which limits the charge rate to 500ma. I haven't looked into if it's possible to turn off the phone lcd, but with it on and playing, 500ma is not enough to even maintain a charge (I've witnessed a net loss of 50ma or so). So I modded the kernel to force slimport to dcp (ac). Now it charges no problem. Start with a nearly empty battery, watch a movie, and the phone's all charged up and ready to go.

I'm not really sure how you guys are overheating your phones or how hot they're actually getting. If anything, the charge rate may have been limited to 500ma because of overheating issues, although again, even with full charge rates, I'm not seeing any problems. If it gets hot enough, it'll block charging until the temps come down, which has never happened to me while using slimport and charging. If this hasn't happened to you, it's not that hot. As a reference, I was driving today and the phone was under direct sunlight for maybe half an hour. It was _hot_, but as you'd expect for something that was under the sun... Plugged it in to charge it and it refused. Put my wallet on top of it to cover the sun and it started charging within 5 minutes. FWIW, I switch back and forth between -100mv undervolt and stock often, although I keep forgetting to check differences in temperature.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] wolfboy1984:
We are on about 720p/1080p mkv's. They WILL melt and/or break your phone.
