latest antutu beta benchmark

i just tried the latest antutu benchmark beta1 and look at what benchmark numbers i got.

i'm currently using the latest omnirom nightly build and the latest AK kernel.

previously, i never got benchmarks as high as these. might it something wrong with the antutu beta1?

but doing some tweaking using synapse (to extend battery life a bit), the numbers drop to around 26k.

Anybody here knows where I can still buy screen protectors (preferably Spigen) and cases for our Nexus 4? I went to Digital Walker (Davao) but they ran out of stocks for Spigen screen protectors.

Nexus 4 for custom rom support, zenfone 5 for performance and price balance.

N4 is still a-ok. I actually came from Optimus G and took a lateral transfer to Nexus 4 lol... Having fun with the 5.0.2 roms for a few weeks now.

kahit kelan di na ko bibili ng mediatek device. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] ijustzeke:
Then its settled. :) Buy the N4. Haha.

Btw, please follow the English only rule of XDA.

cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] wartle.S:
Go for Nexus 4

Nexus 4 has more custom roms than Z5. Easier to root, flash, unbrick.

Arm has more compatible apps than intel.

From experience, Nexus 4 outperforms the Zenfone5. Tested.

...Mediatek??? Ewan ko lang kong me updates yan.:highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Buying a Mediatek powered phone is worthless if you want custom roms built from source. They do not give out their source code and it clearly violates GPLv2.

a carrier in the US called t-mobile is also selling the nexus 4 with a discount for postpaid users - but the phone isn't locked at all (which is very unusual in the US) maybe the same for you?

via xda app
[Nexus 4 General] ichilouch:
warranty. :) but still priced high. How much would the shipping cost if I ask someone to brought it from US then ship it here?
[Nexus 4 General] stankyou:
So lets assume you had someone in the US buy the phone from Google and ship it here. Also, shipping cost still makes getting it in the US cheaper compared to getting it here.

What if the phone is defective and you need it replaced? Will your warranty be supported locally? I don't think so. So you'll shell out money to ship it back to your friend or relative in the US which in turn ship it to Google possibly at their own expense that you probably have to cover as well. Plus the hassle of waiting and having it shipped back to you here in the Philippines plus the new shipping cost. Doesn't sound so great right?

It may seem expensive locally but if you want warranty then you oughtta invest in it.

I for one don't care about warranty. Hence I'm enjoying N4 for a couple of weeks now.

Good luck hunting this thing down. Its a sexy device. :D

via xda app
[Nexus 4 General] Agwe23:
And stop comparing it to the subsidized google play store price. If compared to the unsubsidized at&t $400 unlocked price plus vat and shipping then the local price of 22240 ain't so bad

P22,240 and comes with a 3000mah battery pack.. patience paid off,all the toubles i encountered were for a reason. im destined to have a nexus 4 with an official warranty at a reasonable price. i bet kimstore price will go down to 20k :))

---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 PM ----------

fortunately... I'm not one of them ^_^

But... without storage expansion and OTG support is a big "minus" for its specs... sarap sanang installan ng installan ng heavy gfx games sayang hehe

and also... I accidentally dropped the unit and got small dent on lower right corner yesterday. Kaya I badly need a bumper or case na talaga... my bad
[Nexus 4 General] techfreak:
U just got ur n4 and u drop it already? Very bad.

Anyway, you guys can wait for gizmoshield to have stocks or be like me who invested on a kayscase from amazon. Abit expensive but i feel better that my n4 is protected.

Or since n4 is now official, we would see alot of cases from our local vendors soon.

I personally is still waiting for bumper cases to be available so im still ok with my temporary nillkin hard case shell and gelcase from kayscase
[Nexus 4 General] stankyou:
Aside from protectors that I made myself from laptop screen protectors (front and back) my N4 is pretty much naked.

I would prefer jelly cases as they tend to absorb shocks better than hard cases do. But I think I spoiled myself holding it bare that I don't think I wanna invest on cases anymore.

Does this one have a hole for a lanyard? I find those cables gadget savers more than the case itself. Nothing beats the security of a gadget chained to your wrist. :p

[Nexus 4 General] darius0519:
Is this the one from memoxpress that don't have a headset included?
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
It is. But I think not all branches give out that as a freebie. Oh and there really is no headset even if you don't get it from memoxpress.
[Nexus 4 General] darius0519:
Ok thanks. I cancelled my order in Roopy yesterday due to the delay with my N4 order. I will get the refund later and go straight to memoxpress to buy 1. Still no N4 update from my suppliers in green hills as well. :D
[Nexus 4 General] techfreak:
I beg to differ. Lanyard for me tends to 'make sabit' not only with ur hand which might cause the device to fall or get easily snatched or even fall from your bag if something other than your hand had snagged it. Just my 2 cents.

Other than that, i agree it could be a life saver but might cause some scratches as well if left together with the device in a pocket.
[Nexus 4 General] exdas:
what does the warranty include?
[Nexus 4 General] _azeroth_:
wow may free external batt pack pa sa memoexpress. LG phil. will release it locally with 24,990 price tag, confirmed na ito. parang gusto ko kumuha sa smart kaso data plan 1500 sya available, is it possible to avail it with all-in plann 999? mga how much a-add ko kaya?

LG Megamall

Got mine from LG Megamall yesterday (Sunday). Their supplies won't last long, but according to the saleslady, there is enough to cover their "pre-order" list. Bonus for Citibank credit card holders, you can get this for 24 months at 0% interest. The price is Php24,990. A 3,000mAh battery pack is included.
[Nexus 4 General] darius0519:
Just got mine a while ago.

P22,250 paid in cash.

If want to add 1 yr and accidental damage you need to add 1k more.

The black ac adapter like brick is the 3000mA battery extender or mobile charger.
[Nexus 4 General] swiftden:
How's the battery life of your nexus 4 with data plan? My gnex only lasts 6-8 hours with an extended batt 2000mah. With 2 - 2.5 hours of screen time. I use only 3G and no wifi. I have 2 extended batt so I have no worries. All stock. I really use my phone a lot. FB, Twitter, Insta, Tapatalk, Chrome every 30 mins.

How about your nexus 4? Please give me a realistic result like an average daily result and not your best time. Planning to buy one on January and since you can't change the battery on the Nexus 4, I might have problems. Hope someone can answer.

And for the free 3000mah batt pack, does it charge the Nexus 4 at 0.5amp? Or at 1amp?
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Hey swift, that's a big drain you have. On gnex when I was using it as a primary phone I could get 12 hours on data with 3.5 screen on and stock everything, auto sync on, browsing, calls and sms. With the n4 I get roughly the same on data as well. I get over 15 with wifi though
[Nexus 4 General] swiftden:
Yeah I know. =| I could not get 12 hours with heavy use. No improvements battery wise with the N4?
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Honestly I'm really not that concerned since I use it a lot. I think there is since I rarely plug it in during the night with my battery in red. The extra juice in size helps but since the screen isn't amoled, that may be the compromise. My gnex though improved a lot since it became a secondary phone. Running now at 1 day 8 hours and I still have close to 40%. Lol.
[Nexus 4 General] swiftden:
Haha alright thanks. I'll just use my gnex as a back up phone if the N4 dies. I'll just buy a micro sim converter so I can use the sim to gnex.

[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Swift,

This may be a better view for you. Mixture of wifi and data, browsing, emails, sms, one or two calls, auto sync turned on. Screen on time a little over 3 hours. A couple more calls and idle time would've been lower and more juice used but I think I'm ok with it
[Nexus 4 General] engwan:
Just got payment confirmation from Multiply. Hopefully I will receive my Nexus 4 by Friday or Saturday.

And hoping I still get the freebie external battery pack, as someone mentioned previously that they ran out already. But i think it's still a good deal even without the freebie.

The price for u guys in the phillipines is going to be significantly more then what the price from the play store is...yes I know electronics get marked up there regardless...but it may not be as good a deal as many of you think..the rumored price outside the play store is around 549 euro, which about 702 USD which then brings the cost to closer to 29,000 Philippine peso before any shipping or taxes locally there...i could be wrong but that's what many outlets are reporting.
