Everyone here, including the moderators.

We don't need duplicate threads covering the same subject over and over and over.

It makes it harder for everyone else to find information they need because they are busy sifting through duplicate threads like yours here.
[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
oh my are you for real?

how about you take a look at the first forum rule? you must be blind not see this being posted before. stop acting like a whiny kid.
[Nexus 4 General] Pragmata:
There is absolutely no need for me to get my internet speeds on my phone. I have a 100Mbps internet line in order to download games from Steam in under 10 minutes and not have my internet experience hindered while my girlfriend is Skyping or streaming. That's it. Neither of those things remotely matter on my phone as I don't use it for games, video or downloading.

The most intensive thing I do on my phone is stream radio. Heck, I don't even need HSPA+ for that. I honestly don't understand what you people do with your phones that you need a connection as fast as your internet. The few streaming issues I run into are a result of signal, not speed. I just ran a test and got 11Mbps down and 3.26Mbps up on my phone on HSPA. More than enough for... browsing Facebook? Updating Twitter? Loading XDA on Tapatalk? Yes, yes and yes. The amount of time my phone is even on mobile data is 30 minutes. 15 minutes walking to work and 15 minutes walking from work. The rest is superfast wifi eating from a 100Mbps line at home and a 250Mbps line from work.

Does verizon have HSPA+?
[Nexus 4 General] johnnyp500:
How about this whiney kid and you meet outside somewhere and take care of it.

Anyway I assume you are 23 out of 24 hours a day on this forum so u know exactly how many posts there are of each subject.

In any case when people like me who dont post much come and ask questions, answers like yours are just assholish.

Sooo.. either give people advice, help em out, or shut up. No need to be an ass.
[Nexus 4 General] Pragmata:
If you are not being sarcastic: I have absolutely no idea. I'm on Telus and only deal with Canadian providers. Sorry. :(

If you are being sarcastic:

That's really irrelevant if you are generically asking "Does that bother anyone?" in regards to no LTE.

Answer: No, it doesn't bother me because HSPA+ or HSPA does more than what I need.

Your question bears no relation to what a specific provider offers. If Verizon offered HSPA+, then yes, it would be enough for me. I think what you are trying to ask me is, do I need a new provider if I want to take advantage of this phone do you guys think HSPA+ is drastically worse than LTE? To which I would say, yes... you should get a new provider and no, HSPA+ should totally suffice.

Why don't you just ask the real question instead of masking it in a way that shifts the focus to LTE and your "supposed" idea that just because it doesn't support LTE it's not a good phone. Maybe it isn't a good phone for people who don't have access to HSPA or HSPA+ but do have access to LTE. That's logical to me, but that's also not the question you asked.
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Nope. Deal with it.
[Nexus 4 General] _guzzler_:
Okay i am fed up with such threads.

FYI: Max 9mbps is needed for 3D HD streaming from popular movie sites. What do you need more than 42 mbps for?

Netflix

1 Mbps for viewing on a laptop computer

2 Mbps for SD video on a TV

4 Mbps for 720p HD video

5 Mbps for "the best video and audio experience" (according to Netflix)

Hulu Plus

Note: If a TV show or movie repeatedly needs to buffer, Hulu Plus will stop streaming the video and recommend that you downgrade the video quality.

1 Mbps for SD video

2 Mbps for 720p video

Over 3.2 Mbps for best quality HD video and audio

Vudu

Note: All Vudu movies are streamed with Dolby Digital Plus 5.1 audio.

1.0 - 2.3 Mbps for SD video

2.3 - 4.5 Mbps for 720p video

4.5 - 9.0 Mbps for HDX 1080p video Over 9 Mbps for 3D HD movies

I never said it wasnt a good phone. I'm just trying to converse with people about whether or not 4G LtE is an issue for anyone but this forum is very unwelcoming

But at the same time I am waiting for CM10 on G2x.
[Nexus 4 General] johnnyp500:
The question is not whether or not you need it but 4G LTE is faster than hspa so since there are phones available with 4G LTE and since I, as I assume many, use their mobile internet a lot why not go for a different phone that is also excellent but has LTE and get the better internet. You also dont need Jelly Bean, but its a nice thing to have. Its not about what you need its about value.... a $299 excellent phone with LTE or a $299 excellent phone without LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] Pragmata:
If that's true you wouldn't have asked your obviously loaded question (which you totally avoided in this response to me; great job not addressing any of the points I brought up!) and you wouldn't falsely recognize apathetic to complaints as unwelcoming. People provided you multiple answers. Some of them are to your question, others are to the fact you clearly made no effort to read or look through this forum on your own.

Troll away buddy, troll away. This thread is now dead to me. I answered your question and you asked another. I answered that question and you deflected. Either acknowledge I answered your question or else you are a blatant troll because you are not "conversing", but trying to impose your own opinion by framing fallacious arguments.
[Nexus 4 General] Jrude2262:
To me lte is a battery drainer yeah u get faster speed at the cost of some serious juice. Lol I'm good with my T-Mobile 4g data speed
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
I've been using T-Mobile's HSPA network since it was released and it has served me quite well. I'm able to stream netflix without a hitch as well as streaming music from Google Music and Pandora. LTE would be nice, but with wi-fi at home and school, I don't really need it. Would it be nice to have? Sure it would, but it isn't needed.
[Nexus 4 General] haloimplant:
Iphone 5 and HTC One X get longer battery life on LTE, much longer.

[Nexus 4 General] bigpapax:
Yes. On Verizon and need 4g. So keepin this phone till something exciting comes along. Right now my requirements to move forward are:

2 gig memory. Screen bigger than 4.65, 16 gig storage and dual core processor 1.6 or more and LTE FOR SURE. I am very disappointed.
[Nexus 4 General] johnnyp500:
Great. Me too :) hopefully there will be something amazing on the verizon holiday lineup.
[Nexus 4 General] PlanBSTi:
eh.

I doesn't bother me.

I have a crappy connection anywhere in the city. Although I have only used HSPA. Nexus 4 can't be worst than what I'm currently getting.

I thought that there was only ONE N4 being produced, and Tmobile was just offering it on contract. It's Pentaband meaning it's 21 on ATT but 42 on TMO.... right?
[Nexus 4 General] Damanis1:
You can no longer be grandfathered in once you sign a new contract it ends, why i left, and it happened to my gf
[Nexus 4 General] innov8ion:
Wrong. First, TMo is supporting HSPA-42 while ATT is stuck at HSPA-21. Second, you won't get an effective 42 Mbps download rate in the real world. I saw a good chart the other day and HSPA-42 (TMo) ranges depending on circumstances but is about 7 Mbps at best. HSPA-21 (ATT) is about half that at 3.5 Mbps and Verizon LTE around 11 Mbps. Ref: http://gigaom.com/2011/11/28/t-mobiles-42-mbps-hspa-fast-but-its-still-no-lte/

Whereas TMo's speeds are probably fast enough for real world use, I'd think twice about getting this phone on the ATT network. There's prob going to be a fair amount of buffering issues with it. If you're not too demanding, ATT and the Nexus 4 might be a decent match.
[Nexus 4 General] aimetti:
At best?

On att i get 7/8 Mbps all the time in se ct with sometimes higher. May want to get a new source.
[Nexus 4 General] innov8ion:
The RootMetrics study is fairly accurate and I trust gigaom who reposted it as well. Also, the study shared average speeds. Your max on TMO HSPA/42 may be higher but the average is somewhere around 7 Mbps. Still, that's not the point. The point is that people may be disappointed w/ this phone on the ATT network.

That's why I made the last post because guzzler didn't properly comprehend and his post may have misled some folks.
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
What he posted was the average speeds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Average
[Nexus 4 General] aimetti:
Ahh smartass. He specifically said "at best" regardless of the diagram. Shall I look up the word ambiguous on Wikipedia for you?
[Nexus 4 General] innov8ion:
At best regarding average speeds which is what the chart displayed. It's apparent to most that speeds at any slice of time may be a fair amount lower or higher than average. No need to be rude, man.

The point is that the Nexus 4 might be a little rough on the AT&T network.
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
4G exists on just a single network, in 10 cities only and begins at £36/month for a 'generous' 500mb/month data cap. Woohoo.

It's unfair reviewers giving this phone harsh treatment, when for the vast majority of the markets it's being launched in 4G barely exists. They are forgetting it's supposed to be a GLOBAL phone. Lack of LTE actually benefits more people than it inconveniences!!! Supporting LTE would increase price and battery consumption.
[Nexus 4 General] innov8ion:
I don't know how helpful it is to talk about 4G since TMO says it's HSPA+/42 is 4G as well. I suppose you mean 4G LTE... I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE phone on Verizon. At this moment I'm getting 1.3 Mbps. Yippy... I don't know that LTE affects battery to a point that the user cares that much. I mean, the iPhone is running LTE now. As for increased cost, there's no real increased cost for the customer but there would be increased cost for Google/LG because they'd have to create 2-3 variants of the phone.

I suppose lack of LTE isn't a big deal when you think globally. As LTE uptake increases in a year or two, it will matter more.

[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Make sure to understand what you quote. There is a reason why anandtech (most likely the most reputable review source) posts their testing methodology. Pulling out a graph out of context is like posting nothing at all. They (rightfully so) make the assumption that LTE will increase battery life when you have a target data load. In real world, having llte on will decrease battery life. Where it will help is if you browse 100% of the time and the radio needs to work less because it completes its work faster.
[Nexus 4 General] geekingreen:
Mehh

The LTE network is by far superior and will continue to become more superior in the coming years. That being said though, I'm fine with the average speeds of 6Mbps that I get in my area from T-mobile's HSPA+ network. I mean I can stream video without any problems and that's probably the most data I'm going to pull at any given time.

So my answer is mehh. LTE is awesome and all but I have 3 lines w/ unlimited talk + text, two of those lines have data 1 has 200MB, the other 2GB+ (throttled after 2GB, going to upgrade to true unlimited for $10 more soon) for $110/mo can't get that on Verizon, AT&T or Sprint.
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Feel like I should add a little British input to this topic.

Here in the UK we have just a single network offering 4G - EE, formed by the merging of Orange and T-Mobile [which continue to exist as separate 3G networks for now]. The other networks O2, Vodafone and 3 will only be allowed to set up 4G by late next year at the earliest as there is an auction going on early next year for the spectrum (something I assume happened years ago in America but has been delayed for so long this side of the pond due to lots of legal crap and red tape).

Even then EE has only launched 4G literally last week and in only 11 cities nationwide with about 6 more due to get 4G by the end of the year. Something like only a third of the population!

And this is before we even get into pricing!!! Try £36/month (US$58) for a pathetic 500mb - you can literally could get through that in a few minutes at 4G speeds!

So yeah, as a Brit I couldn't really care less about 4G. It won't mean a thing to the vast majority of us until late next year at the earliest and that's only assuming if prices come down (which they hopefully will after EE finally gets some competition).
[Nexus 4 General] ilukecurtis:
As per the post above, LTE/4G really isn't widespread yet.

Sure if you can afford it/coverage in your area, then go for it. Leaving it from the Nexus was an insightful decision.

Considering where I live wont have it until 2014 at the earliest I really dont mind about the exclusion of 4G, and as of last month the University of Surrey in UK (I think its that university) are already conducting 5G research... So maybe Googles idea of "seeing where the technology goes" in terms of connection is a great idea. Although its a good idea to leave it out even for the fact it makes phone more expensive/battery hungry.
[Nexus 4 General] zerogun:
I have an HTC One X and really, LTE vs. HSPA+ really doesn't matter on a daily basis. I'm pulling 2-4 Mbps on HSPA+ and 6-15 Mbps. Having LTE only lets me download stuff faster. But for browsing, app pulling data, etc, there is no real usability difference between LTE and HSPA+.

That being said, I will probably be getting an Nexus 4 :)
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
LTE is awesome, but I still have yet to come across a compelling reason to have it in a mobile phone. I'm not going to torrent on it. My HSPA+ connection is more than fast enough to stream HQ Youtube and Netflix movies already and I can live without a video starting to play a few seconds earlier. There is nothing currently out there that really takes advantage of having the faster LTE network. When there is, then I'll complain about a phone I want not having it.

Side note: everyone currently on LTE experiencing incredibly fast download/upload speeds is also receiving those speeds because the network hasn't reached its saturation point yet. when it does, prepare to be back in 5-12mbps land with faster latency.
[Nexus 4 General] mELIANTE:
They only insist on 4G now because iPhone has it?:D
[Nexus 4 General] Rob4828:
I have tmobile so no lte for now. I get about 10-14 mbps on hspa+ anyways. Shouldn't that be more than enough? :what:

I can get 8mb/s down on AT&T in my area. And the speeds have only gone up in recent months so no complaints here!

@rookiegenius Personally, a tablet with a physical keyboard will do what I need for school. :)

I know what you mean..but the big thing is the battery would probably last 2-3 times what my laptop would.
[Nexus 10 General] Kookas:
Which is precisely what I use a laptop for... there isn't much else to do on a laptop, really, unless you want to pay an extortionate price for a laptop that doesn't suck. Fo a lot of things that can only be done right now on a laptop, it's just down to the company that makes the program not having clocked on to the huge mobile market... for example, the tablet version of Photoshop can do a surprising amount of stuff. You also have AIDE for app developing, and there's probably a HTML/PHP/etc editor out there on Play somewhere, I haven't really looked. The main apps that don't exist in any real substantial form are 3d modelling, video and music/sound editing software (anyone think Blender might hit ARM?). Otherwise you're all good to chuck out the laptop for a tablet. The convenience far outweighs the losses, IMO.

Oh, and there isn't a real decent office suite, but Google ought to be working on it with Drive.
[Nexus 10 General] ChronicLynx:
I think something like the Surface Pro could easily replace a laptop in all categories. The only problem is the premium laptop price that comes with it. Google has really stepped it up with the new Nexus devices though.
[Nexus 10 General] Kookas:
Yeah, I mean a tablet can't replace a laptop until it has a fully functional fan, right?

But really, there is no room for mechanical parts in this digital era. The Pro sounds awkward in just about every way as far as portability goes. I don't really like the idea of an x86 tablet either, I think it's just Intel desperately clinging on to their business. All we need are ARM apps which do what we're missing from x86.

Hello Guys...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kay Trance:
Hi!

I know that by default call recording options is enabled only on devices for certain countries.

But.

I have flashed default rom and installed PACman v15.0 | Android 4.1.2 | Kernel 3 ROM (sorry, cannot post a link here, forbidden). I have seen somewhere that this rom's kernel supports 2 way call recording, but when I make a call, I do not see any button to "record a call", like, for ex. miui roms have. So I have 2 questions:

1. How to record my calls natively? With this I mean is there any way to have "record a call" button when I make a call? Because I do not want to record any call (or only calls from numbers, that aren't in my contact list, like some apps from goggle market offers) - I wan to be able to record a current call, if I wish.

2. The forum has so few information about this topic - doesn't anybody need call recording function?

Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
You need this app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder

Kernel support for 2WCR + this app are the standard requirements for call recording on most ROMs since a long time. That's why you don't see much about this, because nothing has changed since long and there's nothing new to talk about. And also because a lot of people hardly use it or don't need to use it at all. MIUI is the only ROM as far as I know which has call recording built in (in the call screen). Many other ROMs have kernel support but need this app to record, and yes you can record on-demand during a call rather than record all calls.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kay Trance:
Wow.. the only thing keeping me now from using MIUI (4.1 based) is that it works pretty laggy on my DHD.

Well, lets have a look on the callrecorder since this is the only thing left :)

Message to ALL ROM makers: Please, include this functionality, so that it can be accessed from the call window - yes, there are people who realy need this.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] post-mortem:
How did you flash the stock ROM? It may have completely reverted all software to stock, including the recovery. If that's the case (test if you have root), you'd just have to start over, as if it's a new phone.

Nexus 4:

It's designed to be a phone

it's portable

Higher Pixel Density

Back Camera

Nexus 7:

More screen real estate (I use my phone a lot but 4.3" on my old phone doesn't cut it)

Much larger battery

So which device would you guys go with?
