i am also having gyro issues with photo sphere, and it is not the gyro

i have tested the standard panorama mode and done a little more testing and gyro does not seem to be the prob, axis are only switched in that mode

can anyone confirm photo sphere working? on any non 4.2 phone

Camera working (CM10/ParanoidAndroid 2.5 on Epic Touch) Video Record/Playback fails!

Absolutely, I am having this issue with mine. Trying to find out why and a fix. http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

Issue is that camera works great, even with facial recognition login. However video capture and recorded video playback all start, show a black background, and then force exit the app that attempted to run them. I have tried VLC nightly builds, gallery, and media player from ES File Explorer all with same issue.

Any ideas anyone?http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/crying.gif I love this build otherwise, please help!

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ----------

I listened to MykalDre above, went and CWM flashed the update (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1975379) in the first post there, Exit_Only calls it the "tweak update.zip"

I can now record video, and play it back with SOME players. specifically the Gallery and ES File Explorer video players work. VLC nightly doesn't. http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/confused.gif

GPS is still a bit slow to lock on, but hey... its progress...

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU MykalDre !!!!

Web application

Ok so its working.

Now how and where an we view these.

So far google plus and maps. Maps your sphere has to be geo tagged when you took it. If it wasnt no go.

Google plus is so stingy its painful. Actually its picasa I believe. Once uploaded it works like it does on the phone like a bubble scene you can scroll etc.

However sharing it using link has been problematic.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MykalDre:
I've been sticking to g+. Hopefully they update the app soon so ppl without photosphere can see them without a PC.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jbarresi19:
I seem to be having an issue with photosphere I haven't seen mentioned. For some reason all other parts of camera work fine but when I open photosphere the view has a green tint and is has a lot of static to the point u can not make out what ur viewing. Anyone seen this or know how to fix? I tried reflashing. Also it did work in the beginning.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Is LTE a big deal for you? Do you even live in the US ? What are your conditions regarding speeds in your area.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbutters:
Yes LTE is a better technology... but in practice... HSPA is much more established and will give more than sufficient results:

http://www.phonearena.com/news/T-Mo...ter-than-Verizons-4G-LTE-in-11-cities_id31387

I'm not saying I'm glad the device doesn't have LTE, just that it doesn't really affect me in any way at this point in time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pragmata:
I live in Vancouver, Canada where LTE is readily available and I don't use it. HSPA+ gets me plenty of speed for the /whopping/ 30 minutes a day my phone is on mobile data (commute to and from work; 15m each way). HSPA+ in Canada is from all providers and has great coverage. I regularly get 10-12Mbps. I've been testing a lot lately and I've managed to get 22Mbps and 25Mbps at certain points/times as well on HSPA+. I have zero need for anything faster than that as all I do is stream radio while walking.

I really hate how the American bias towards LTE, because your providers seem to suck, is affecting this phone. By all accounts in the reviews out there "If you don't live in the US, LTE isn't a big deal and this phone is amazing". That's enough for me. I'm on wifi for 95% of my usage anyways. 100Mbps line at home and 250Mbps line at work. Screw LTE.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
I see your point, but US providers don't "suck" lol. People are bashing LTE on this phone because so many carriers on the US already provide it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsmforlife92:
Don't care about lte
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pragmata:
I get that, but all the major carriers in Canada provide LTE too. The difference is all of our major carriers provide HSPA+ AND LTE so the absence of one simply means the use of the other and speeds on both are phenomenal for a bloody phone. xD I've never understood the necessity for residential internet speeds on your phone. I have a 100Mbps line at home so I can download Steam games really fast. What do people do on their phones that require LTE anyways?

My point about the "seem to suck" comment (which I admit I did say 'seem' because I don't have experience with them) is that from what I have learned, Verizon doesn't have HSPA so the lack of LTE means that the speeds then drop to 3G speeds for them? If that's accurate, a major provider not having both HSPA+ and LTE seems a bit sucky to me. :P I really guess I just don't understand what people need LTE for or how it affects your phone use. In terms of pure network, LTE is like getting a ferrari when you drive for maybe 5 minutes a day. HSPA+ does everything LTE does at more than acceptable speeds. If the issue is because some of the US networks coverage of HSPA+ is absent or limited, that should reflect upon the providers and not the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeRRa4:
I'm not too bothered about LTE either. Though it's available in the UK city in which I reside term-time, which is most of the time, it isn't available in my hometown where my family home is. Sure, by the time I'm done in my student city, LTE will most likely be available at "home" but by then the Nexus 4 will be old and in need of a replacement. I don't need it right now, so DC-HSPA is fine for me. More than fine, actually. Plus my phone is on WiFi most of the time anyway. ;D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
Agreed
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
I live in the US but LTE doesn't exist within about a 250 mile radius of where I live so HSPA+ is fine by me!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcgtreize:
I live outside the US and LTE is just starting here. I live in the second town of my nation and the first 4G antennas will start to emit here for the public on 1st quarter 2013. Google made the Nexus S 4G, then the Verizon Galaxy Nexus 4G, so why not a Nexus 4 4G tomorrow ?:highfive:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heylookitsjerry:
There is a good amount of LTE in my area (SF + the surrounding area), but I suppose I don't NEED it. I've been perfectly fine without it (currently with a Motorola Atrix). However like most of you here, you want the best you can get for your area.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontdo_that:
1. It's the idea that Google is pushing consumers to rely more on the cloud, yet "cripple" the phone's ability to CONNECT TO the cloud by not providing LTE. I live in San Diego - we have LTE here and it works great on all my friends' IPhone 5s.

2. While LTE is certainly NOT COMMONPLACE, it is non-negotiable that it is the infrastructure of the future. HSPA+ represents the pinnacle of it's infrastructure, while LTE is the infancy stage of the a newer, higher throughput technology. As a result, you're paying however much for a phone that is not really very future proof. Regardless of how good of a deal this phone is in the near term, you kind of lose out in the long term, especially when viewed in regards to item 1.

3. Since there is no CDMA version of the Nexus 4, it won't work on Verizon or Sprint in the US anyways. T-mobile has ONLY HSPA+ and AT&T has LTE and HSPA+, with HSPA+ coverage being greater than LTE (in San Diego anyways). LTE coverage, however, is expanding, and will be much more available within the next 2 years. Therefore it's not neccessarily that HSPA+ is limited, its that LTE is limited and that's why Google has chosen to omit it from their device, which may be smart in the near term, but again limits the long term relevance of the phone.

4. As a corollary to 3, Google is really just doing the same thing LG has done with the Optimus G but in a different form. Google doesn't provide LTE, so in 2 years you really will need to buy a new phone if you want to transfer large files to and from your cloud, which you will have to do because your phone only has 8GB or 16GB of on-board storage. LG forces you to buy a new phone because they haven't provided updates to their phone since it's release on day 1 and your phone is horribly laggy and bloated and it's bootloader is locked.

This resonates much like Apple's philosophy, which we all bash them for, yet we defend Google vehemently when it does the same in a more inconspicuous way.

I'm a complete loss for what to do now because I really need a new phone lol. :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MkVsTheWorld:
I live in the USA near Washington DC and I live in strong LTE coverage by Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint (allegedly). I've used LTE and while it's nice, I don't require it. In addition, I like being able to use a SIM card in any country I visit. HSPA+ is more than sufficient for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vertana:
It doesn't bother me. I currently have Verizon and have a Galaxy Nexus. My plan for two lines and unlimited data on LTE costs me 180 USD a month. My same plan, but with more minutes would cost me 100 USD on T-Mobile. Almost double check the cost just for LTE speeds? My contract is up in January. So long, Verizon! Your business practises suck. Hspa+ isn't so bad that it's a steep departure. Half the price plus my phone is unlocked so I can switch carriers if T-Mobile starts to play games with my bill? Awesome.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bfspider:
I'm on TMo and there is no LTE.

So, I can care less atm.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everett_psycho:
Has anyone actually tested the ee network in the real world yet? Here in the UK LTE has finally started to rollout but at the launch event the speeds were not that impressive anyway. Anyway at £26 a month for 500mb i think LTE won't be that popular here for some time when three are offering decent speeds with all you can eat data for £10
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamal Ahmed:
I don't understand this.

LTE is available only in USA and a small amount of other countries as a whole. the world isn't only USA and the 10% places. They've made our such a big issue for everyone, and all the reviewers are complaining about no LTE like every country in the world has it.

There is world outside USA you know...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
I don't care for LTE and micro SD slot. I just want this phone in my hands already!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercakefish:
UK here. 4G on just one network in only 10 cities. The lack of 4G means nothing to us Brits!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F123D:
I live in an area with great LTE (avg 25-35 down, up to 50). I could live without it but since I'm with AT&T, I'll be paying the same price no matter if I'm using 3G or LTE. Not to mention AT&T throttles 3G after 3gb while they throttle LTE after 5gb. Makes my decision hard whether I want to give that up if I get a Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dontdo_that:
I'm actually really torn, so I actually do agree with most of your points... I think HSPA+ will probably be plenty fast, and honestly will probably be fine 2 years from now also. I just wish that Google could have given us at least one or the other: expandable memory(or MORE memory choices) OR LTE... I actually would prefer the expandable microSD card slot.

A. I think a fair number of people are in your shoes and upgrade once a year, or even every other year. In which case, the Nexus 4 is an AWESOME choice because yes, it is dirt cheap off contract compared to other devices. However, this is kind of personal, but in 1-2 years, I hope to be enrolled/beginning medical school, so I simply can't afford to upgrade on a regular cadence. Money will be extremely tight so as a student, device longevity becomes more important.

B. If HSPA+ actually got 42mb down, that would be amazing. I agree that 42mb down is absolutely not going to be "outdated" in 2 years... that's still much faster than most home broadband connections in the USA. I know in San Diego, the 50mb Wideband is like 100 bucks a month still... which is definitely not marketed towards the mainstream, average user. The video tests I've seen on Youtube of HSPA+, download speeds are more like 7-8mb max, ~50-60ms ping.... maybe HSPA+ will actually get progressively faster over the coming years? That would be pretty sweet.

C. I actually don't have LTE... I have a Samsung Galaxy S (AT&T Captivate) that is like 2-3 years old... it still runs, but barely lol. I think realistic down speeds for LTE are 20-30mb/s... But honestly, if I get the Nexus 4, movies, massive amounts of music, etc. will be getting copied to and from the phone on a regular basis. I run/hike/camp in areas where there is no reception, and since there's only 16GB max storage, there's going to be a lot of back and forth with the media... It would be nice to have the speeds of LTE when I can't connect to Wifi. Other than that, I can't think of anything else. I guess what we "push" is a direct byproduct of the fact that there is very little storage space actually on the phone.

Therefore, I really just wish there was more memory or a microSD card more than anything... the memory is going to be hardest for me to get over :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeRRa4:
I haven't seen any official tests yet, no. And I think the prices and data cap are ridiculous also. Charging so much for such little data usage.

Three's network is great for DC-HSPA, some of the local Three Store employees showed me some speed tests on HSPA+ and they managed 15mpbs. I was impressed. And satisfied. Their all-you-can-eat for such a low price is also very tempting. Gotta wait until my renewal in April though. :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everett_psycho:
thanks, i'm only on tesco with one month rolling so can ditch them any time, i was with three for years but had to ditch them when we moved as i couldn't get a reliable signal, might order a free micro sim and see if i can get some signal here now. tesco seems to only give about 1-2mb/s so 15mb on all you caneat would be great, significant my better than my home broadband as well. could always take a 1 month deal and cancel to get the retention deals.

I swear at the ee lte launch people tested it and it was about 20mb/s, i've seen screen dumps of speed tests on three that can actually beat that and it has more coverage at that speed (never though i'd say three had more coverage than anyone)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pragmata:
So just pure media consumption? That's a LOT of media. I still feel like there isn't a necessity for these speeds on your phone because it's not like a camping or hiking trip just comes up in the middle of the day unprovoked. To which you would have time to go to your computer and move the appropriate files, but I guess I just don't understand how people use their phone as a full media device. xD

I use a music streaming service and for those times without reception I'll have a few playlists offline'd. Maybe 50 songs or so; barely a couple gigs. I haven't touched my 50GB+ library on Winamp in at least two years because of streaming services. I've really cut down on the actual music I listen to and it's really helped minimize it's footprint on my storage life. I can't physically watch movies on my phone because it makes my eyes bleed. All my TV is on my PVR and I go to the theatres once or twice every week and watch movies there.

The whole "cut the cord" thing in America (and I suppose it's reaching upwards to us now heavily) seems to be really pushing for these LTE speeds since your consumption is mainly through these devices. Myself, I'll always be doing it the "old" way and have cable tv, go to the theatres and use my phone to communicate with people. :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F123D:
This is what I've noticed as well. I've only seen averages between 5 - 8. I'm on AT&T so the highest speed possible is 21 which we know the phone won't even come close to. Here in San Diego, LTE speeds average around 30 down and go as high as 50 - 55.
[Nexus 10 General] MikeBuck:
And i was hoping for something without light bleed, aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Just read Engadgets full review of the nexus 10, generally sounds good, but light bleed is my one bug bare, and yes its there, and they confirmed it on a second device aswell!

Sooo close!
[Nexus 10 General] cc2ee:
Calm down slick. Even two devices doesn't mean that every product off the line will have it. Unless they had checked 20 devices and every one had the same problem, I'm not writing of the device. There are defects. Some people have Nexus 7's with no light bleed, others have it with some light bleed.
[Nexus 10 General] MikeBuck:
I'm hoping they were slightly lower quality review devices! PLEASEEEEEEEEEE,
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
Of the 5 reviews so far only Engadget mentioned leakage, everyone else is highly satisfied with the screen. Cnet mentioned these are presale models being tested, so let's just wait for the final version.
[Nexus 10 General] Adulmec:
With the new Nexus 10 coming out, I strongly believe Apple is going downhill. I do not want to be cynical but had Steve been still alive, this would have never happened. When I saw the Ipad Mini, I thought "This is going to be my first Apple product, though expensive". Then Google announced Nexus 10. Everything changed dramatically. I want Google, and nothing but the Google, so help me God(if any)!!!
[Nexus 10 General] manaox2:
Light bleed is kind of a big deal to me too. I don't care about anything being really much over 1920x1080 (although it has to be at least 300PPI for me with Pentile displays, I can still see it), but light bleed might be the deal breaker here when I see this thing. It is not like I absolutely need a tablet with a good desktop, laptop, and phone. I'd be getting it for media and browsing around the house and workplace where screen quality will be the #1 focus.
[Nexus 10 General] Vertron:
+1 Can't stand light bleed.

It seems that the contrast is nothing special either, but that's because it's not as bright as other tablets. The black level looks decent according to the tests.
[Nexus 10 General] Andraxo:
D: ohh lol i hate light bleeds
[Nexus 10 General] MentaLrz:
Does warranty cover light bleeding?
[Nexus 10 General] mi7chy:
Any LCD with a backlight will suffer from light bleed to some extent even the iPad3 retina (just Google for the pictures). Obviously, something to check for and exchange if it's significant. The pictures on The Verge don't show any signs of it and the pixel level comparison shows the Nexus 10 display to be superior in black level, colors and sharpness against retina.
[Nexus 10 General] Kookas:
What is the brightness of the screen, anyway?
[Nexus 10 General] whoster69:
There is a firestorm going on over at Engadget over this review. The same reviewer wrote the iPad mini review and fawned over it but nitpicks the Nexus 10. Engadget has been deleting posts that point out the flaws in the review (and back it up with evidence).

I wouldn't put too much stock in this review, but it's always a good idea to be skeptical.
[Nexus 10 General] Alexpride:
What is exactly "light bleed"?
[Nexus 10 General] BoneXDA:
Background light inconsistency.
[Nexus 10 General] Kookas:
When the spread of the backlight is uneven, so parts of the screen are brighter than others.
[Nexus 10 General] testulous:
I always thought light bleed was the presence of light when there shouldn't be any. Like when you're watching a movie in portrait view, and the black bars on top and bottom show light. That's why I haven't wasted much time with IPS in the last couple years ever since discovering Samsung's AMOLEDs. Uneven backlighting is a different and even worse artifact, and again it only affects non-AMOLED screens.
[Nexus 10 General] MultiLockOn:
Seems like they both have pros and cons. Amoled displays have high risk of tint, I experienced this in my s2 for about a year until I finally got a replacement. This one portrays whites much better, or at least now it does. Aside from that you have all benefits, thin capacitive touch layer, vibrant colors (I don't give a **** if they're over saturated, they look great and that's what matters), no risk of light bleed, and huge potential battery savings. In my personal opinion I would take an amoled panel any day. I mean, displays like the super lcd2 in the one x are brilliant, but come on,, have you seen the note 2 on dynamic settings ? :p
[Nexus 10 General] mi7chy:
Wished Samsung had gone with SAMOLED. Without a backlight there's no backlight bleed, ghosting, uniformity, etc. issues.
[Nexus 10 General] Croak:
The technology is not there yet, nor is the economy. They simply can't produce a 2560x1680 OLED panel, 10" or otherwise, at a price anyone would be willing to pay.

Look at the PenTile "tricks" they have to pull on Galaxy phones as an indicator of how they're struggling with the tech, look at the very high cost of the Tab 7.7 to see how expensive it gets when you increase size, and to further reinforce that look at the ludicrous price of their big screen SAMOLED televisions compared to LCD and plasma.

Give it a few more years, it'll be feasible, and Samsung is surely working very hard on the problem, since they have a lot invested in pretty much owning the OLED market.
[Nexus 10 General] The-Kevster:
You're right. This is going to be the best 10" screen for the next 6-12 months. Yes it won't look as good as the screen on my S3 but I will be more than happy with it.

8 days and counting!

Hopefully a PCWorld/Currys near me will have it ready to take away!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Well the Tab2 7 already has old software on it where we are getting ANOTHER update to 4.2

The Tab2 is a nice tablet and I've seen it reduced to $249 to compete with the N7 but longevity, the Nexus easily wins. For me, half of the fun of owning a device is getting new features with a Nexus device. Plus if there is any problems, being able to get those fixes from somewhere other then the manufacture 4 months later.

Right now, both tabs a close draw. They are both really nice tablets with really nice features. But think about choosing one a year from now. In one hand you'll have the Nexus 7 running Key Lime Pie 5.0 vs the Tab2 [maybe] running JB 4.2
