I have a Razr M rooted and running the Jelly Bean leak. Everything works except the photo spere, takes the first picture and then only lets me move up or down and and its extremely slow. Any ideas how to fix this??
[Android Apps and Games] simplyrafa8:
I have the same issue on HTC Glacier. It's because photo sphere requires gyroscope sensors to work properly. Your phone doesn't have a gyroscope. Sorry :-\

[Motorola Droid 3] Hуdrogen:
Hi,

Got a Droid3 from Verizon.

Wifi signal is too low, it was too low for mobile network too, but changing the ro.mot.phonemode.vzglobalphone from 1 to 0 solved the problem.

Wifi signal still low, can't find anything on forums or general googling. Only found same problem for Galaxy 2, but no solution yet.

I Have 2 routers, both with high gain antennas, 150mts coverage, with this phone I get signal only few feets close to the antenna...

Trying to find out what's going on, found some strange facts:

Getting out the battery there is a sticker that says XT883

Opening "about phone" it says "System Version 5.7.906.XT862.Verizon

How can I get wifi hardware info? Can the difference of loaded sys version be the reason of... for example not matching wifi drivers?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] Hуdrogen:
Ok... reading posts found that the XT882 and 862 are exact same devices.

Is there anything to try to check wifi adapter condition or just send back the phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
The 883 and 862 are the same. It sounds like you got a refurb that used to be an 883. The only difference is that they don't use the CDMA part of the phone but use a RUIM in China for CDMA through the SIM card slot and the radio allows for the US GSM bands where the Verizon radio doesn't.

No root methods exist for this phone,as of now.You can be pretty sure that they will show up after some time after the phone is launched :)

Bootloader, certainly is unlockable.Same process as other Nexus devices. For more information, watch http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?amp=&f...i=/watch?v=532sQpllDl8&amp;feature=plcp&gl=GB

Thanks to raze for the link

Currently,No custom roms are available for this device as it hasn't been launched.

Nope,none currently.Check this link for the full list of ROMs,kernels,guides and even more when they start showing up. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975842

Model number for the Nexus 4 is E960

The nexus line of devices is a line of devices that are produced by Google, partnered with hardware manufacturers such as LG and Samsung.They come with vanilla android, i.e. no skins like TouchWiz and Sense.Another factor that makes these devices so famous is that they receive support directly from Google, so they get updates for a long time, unlike normal devices from manufacturers

Its Mako from what I hear

The battery is removable,though not really easy..Check out this link for some preview into this

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/12jze2/nexus_4_battery_may_not_be_so_hard_to_replace_acc/

Hi, i looked at the build number screenshots you posted...

Can you tell me what components of the info indicates that these are pre release? :)
[Nexus 4 General] raze599:
Not so much whats actually displayed, but more a factor of them all being different to each other. Plus they dont have all of the features of the proper 4.2 build yet (Lockscreen changes). That leads us to believe that these are all different pre-release versions.
[Nexus 4 General] Initial_G:
Good work guys! Cannot wait until the actual final device reviews come up so we actually know how well this device will realistically be!
[Nexus 4 General] Prawesome:
Why would anyone need that? :) they are pre-release versions anyway..

EDIT:Found one...All of them are running different kernels with different builds.This must probably the reason why Sound quality is not consistent in all the builds.

I have never owned a device with a non remove-able battery before and I experiment enough that I have had to remove the battery to reboot a frozen phone. I am seriously contemplating the nexus 4 but have this nagging concern on how can one force a reboot in case the phone freezes - can someone with more experience with such fixed battery devices chime in?
[Nexus 4 General] jacklebott:
As has been stated many times before, phones with irremovable batteries have ways to manually cut the power with simple button combos (or holding down the power button for 10 sec)
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
You hold the power button and the volume down button and that will force reboot at anytime.
[Nexus 4 General] adamhlj:
I had an HTC One S that has a non-removeable battery. It would glitch out every so often, but all I needed to do was to just hold down the power button for an extended amount of time. I also have an iphone for work, and its not problem to reset if need be. Its not an issue.
