[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lskeys:
I was just wondering why Google chose LG over Samsung. Had the Samsung Galaxy Nexus last year. Sold it for SG3. Big mistake. Even though I like SG3, not a Nexus. Will not do the same thing next year. I am keeping my Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kBTWOFOUR:
Good question.

You never know Samsung and HTC might release their own version.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubelBoom:
Because LG got from Quallcom to put the S4 Pro quicker than any HUGE manufacturer, they have the best screen out there, and letting Samsung doing the Nexus phone 3rd time a row?! Its rowing what Google is trying to do... And, they made the Nexus 10.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mondfahrer:
Thank god that Nexus is not a Samsung-plastic-crap! Samsung should really work on the material!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubelBoom:
+1!

This phone is covered gorilla glass 2 all over it!

LG, you should make all of your phones Nexus-Like! Stock android experience, quick updates, and release all sources!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfspider:
Compared to my Sensation 4g...the screen (glass) and outer shell of the phone was so soft and fragile. Betting my $350 that there will be better materials used on the N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lothaen:
I personally wouldn't be considering one if it was ANOTHER Samsung.

Besides. Samsung did a Nexus 10 anyway.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matistight:
Cool. Who cares about gorilla glass? It HELPS prevent scratches. Not cracks. Plus Samsung made a good product, LG WILL ruin it, I guarantee it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsanePostman:
Why do you think LG will ruin it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -A-P-M-:
Galaxy Nexus was already dated on its launch - old GPU from Nexus S etc. LG Nexus 4 got great hw and is much better today than GN was one year ago. Besides Samsung didnt made first Nexus, but HTC did.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikkel-ol:
Because of the failure that is the Optimus 2X..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malibu_23:
Funny, how all it takes is a company to make one great product to change everyone's opinion. People hated the idea of a Samsung nexus as well, especially after the Galaxy S 1 debacle. Sammy improved the devices despite still having the radio issues and everybody loves Sammy now. LG looks to have made a solid device, well see how it holds up in real world usage, if its halfway decent, people will love LG too...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrPhilo:
Hate the resolution, the 1280x768. Youtube won't be fullscreen, 720p, 1080p won't be full screen, it will have some black bars, which isn't bad but it does annoy me. But the drawer now consist of 5 icons a row, doesn't look nice compared to the standard 4, suppose a dpi change will fix that.

Don't get why users are hating on plastic or poly carbonate but yet Nokia 'Lumia' are getting praise for using that material. I prefer having poly carbonate than Gorilla glass, since when you drop it, it'll crack, whereas plastic wouldn't crack as bad and you'll have to get a glass replacement etc (iPhone style).

The display contrast is bad, don't know why it was hyped up that bad. The LG Optimus G has around 1,800 contrast whereas iPhone 5, Asus Padfone 2, S3 are all over 3,xxx. Watch users complain 'it's more natural', no it isn't, it'll be more washed out compared to the other screens. Unless the LG Nexus 4 deploys something with more 'contrast' in there True HD IPS.

Thats all the things I dislike about it well maybe the crappy low storage as well but I might be getting the Nexus 4, £279 for a spec like this, can't really go wrong.

On paper, in day to day use my galaxy nexus can do everything. It can play Nova 3, dead trigger on high, with pushing the HD scree
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykresge:
False. While the GPU used in the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus shared the same name, they offered vastly different performance levels. The PowerVR SGX540 in the Galaxy Nexus was significantly overclocked compared to the version in the Galaxy S/Nexus S, and was tied to much faster RAM.

Qualcomm did the same thing this past year. They took the Adreno 220, bumped the speed from 266mhz to 400mhz, then paired it with faster RAM. Instead of keeping the same name like PowerVR did, they renamed it the Adreno 225 to avoid confusion.

The GPU in the Galaxy Nexus, at the time if release last year, was among the fastest out there. It didn't have the fill-rate of the Mali-400 inside the sGS2, but it had much better geometric performance, making it a better GPU for real-world games. It's still more than adequate today.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
I'm not picky on materials as long as the construction feels tight. Smooth plastic, matte plastic, glass, whatever. The only thing I am kind of partial to is brush aluminum (a delight that I still enjoy about my beater Captivate).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
Maybe because Samsung would of insisted on Exynos rather than the superior S4! And it would of been cheap plastic
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
Also no more crappy AMOLED screens so thats good :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncvikingx97:
Dual a15s like in the nexus 10 would have been just as fast or faster. I would have liked those
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykresge:
I think Google picks the SOC. Look no further than the Galaxy Nexus, which used OMAP when Samsung was keen on using Exynos. I'm pretty sure the only reason Exynos 5 was used over Snapdragon S4 for the Nexus 10 was due to the GPU. Adreno 320 is overrated. It's marginally faster than the Mali-400MP in the SGS3/Note II in most benchmarks, much faster in some, but has a beefier CPU behind it. In GPU-specific tests they come out much closer, which tells me that the GPU isn't as powerful as some think. Mali-T604 (Exynos 5), however, is MUCH faster than both. That was needed to power a 2560x1600 display.

As for the CPU component, DMIPS is the easiest and most accurate way to measure general power between ARM CPUs. Snapdragon S4 uses Krait (3.3 DMIPs/clock), while Exynos 5 uses Cortex A15 (3.5 DMIPS/clock). At 1.5ghz and 1.7ghz respectfully, that puts the Snapdragon S4 pro at 4,950 DMIPS per core, or 19,800 DMIPS total. The Exynos 5, however, cranks out 5,950 DMIPS per core, or 11,900 DMIPS total. However, there are two caveats here;

1. Mobile apps are predominantly single-threaded, so even in a heavy (by mobile standards) multi-tasking environment, you're not going to make much use of those third and fourth cores. For apps that use 1-2 cores, Exynos comes out on top.

2. Krait is asynchronous, and A15 is synchronous. For an environment that is heavy on multiple processes, you'll want synchronous, which is likely why so many of the Windows RT tablets announced last week use Tegra 3 (Cortex A9) over Krait.

Coworkers bought his 32gb unit from Office Deport which was delivered today. It has ICS 4.0.3 and a bunch of test apps loaded. Also the screen DPI made it think it was a normal 10" tablet. He was really confused by the strange interface of it and lack of setup wizard and everything.

I would have just loaded the new firmware onto it but this unit has the screen lift issue pretty badly on the right side -- so he's going to return it. Can't believe they haven't sorted that issue out already.....
[Nexus 7 General] darkmatthew:

[Nexus 7 General] ncvikingx97:

[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
Those apps could be fun to play with.. Possibly the binaries too for anyone who wants to get all retro and downgrade Android. :)
[Nexus 7 General] adrianblack:
Sadly he wants a working tablet so is returning it -- meaning I didn't get any time with it. If I had more time I would have tried rooting it and TiBacking up all the various test apps. Funny they let stuff like this get released to the world.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
They probably just "accidentally" install it on very few tablets, in hopes a developer gets a hold of it and does some cool stuff :p

Reminds me of how a person got a CR-48 test Chromebook with a BIOS on it (CR-48's had EFI on them), and that person uploaded the BIOS somewhere, and then anyone with a CR-48 could flash that BIOS, and then install any OS they wanted :)
[Nexus 7 General] adrianblack:
Haha, ya, you would think. Of course, since the N7 is so open already, nothing really needs to be leaked. (Look at the recent full Ubuntu for N7)
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
those test apps are available. i have them all on my acer a500. There also is a version for jelly bean . but i cant find them They are on my computer here somewhere . grrr i need to do a fall cleaning .
[Nexus 7 General] xmoo:
Funny to see that there has been a 32GB with ICS from the beginning!
[Nexus 7 General] zZDave_Stud:
Where are these test apps available at? My accelerometer is off a bit and would like to try and re-calibrate it.
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
I had a set that worked with i think most or all ics devices.For some reason i cant find it. This might work im not sure. I have not tried installing this on 4.1 . USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...

If i remember where the others are i will post them. I have only installed on a500 and on my old ics phone. no longer have .

Have fun ..
[Nexus 7 General] BiosDude:
Couple of things. First, Win8 RT relies pretty heavily on the UEFI BIOS API set. While not absolutely required, it would make writing the shim a pain. Secondly, trust me when I say that Google did not "accidentally" release the CR-48 UEFI BIOS into the wild. Things happen on the assembly line.
[Nexus 7 General] zZDave_Stud:
Alright thanks. I'll give this a go sometime tonight and I'll let you know if it works or not.
[Nexus 7 General] zZDave_Stud:
No dice. Put it /system/app, rebooted, and it didn't show in the app drawer.
[Nexus 7 General] kilometers4:
Set the permissions right?
[Nexus 7 General] erica_renee:
I think to install that ..

Connect your computer to tablet thru usb..

cmd to the directory you unzipped the run the install.xxxx xxx x x ? .bat..

The above is from memory only. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.. if i had the tab here i could be sure my son has my a500 right now.. Gonna have to confiscate it back i think he is trying to take ownership . Kids go figure.. ..
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Yea no doubt. If a 32gb was just updated recently it wouldn't of had ICS. So this suggests that Asus had 32gbs back during original production of the 8s and 16s.

O relly!

Is it possible to completely wipe the phone of everything and then install/flash the OS again?

(Not just wipe user data by factory reset)

- I mean format/wipe the entire system using CWM Recovery. Formatting the system partition but not the boot partition. (So your phone is just an empty shell or "brick")

I'm guessing PC companion wouldn’t work, but theoretically, is it possible to flash ICS again [See link] using Flashtool?

________________________________________________________________

Actually, seeing as that is a .ftf file. CWM wouldn't be able to install it, so it must be flashed using Flashtool. But if you format the system, how can flashtool recognize your device???

So in that case, the only option would be a custom rom ready to go and install on the sdcard as a .zip. Correct or not?

Hello

I am having trouble with the google search widget on my ATT skyrocket running ICS 4.0.4. Earlier, when I entered keywords, it would search for web results, local apps and contacts. Now, all of a sudden, it would only bring back web results but no apps or contacts.

I searched the net and forums and various folks have suggested to alter settings to allow apps and contacts to be searched (I've seen screenshots and videos). Funny thing is that this setting is completely missing now.

I tried searching if anyone else is having this issue but there are no other threads about it.

Did the recent OTA update a couple of days ago break the search widget? Any ideas how I can get it to look for installed apps and contacts.

Thanks in advance.

Hi I was able to root my tmobile gn2 using a guide which worked perfectly fine. But I wanted to unroot my phone but due to incomplete research and knowledge my phone is now bricked. The guide i followed didn't specifically mention regarding US carriers so I went ahead and tried to unroot with other GT-7100 firmwares available and when I tried to flash with ODIN i kept getting failures and now it is stuck in the "firmware upgrade encountered an issure. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again". I tried it was just an error with the firmware so i tried another one, but nonetheless it failed and somehow my binary count went up to 3.

I tried going into recovery but it doesn't work, but I am still able to get into the ODIN download screen.
