[Nexus 4 General] Cephalus:
I wouldn't mind seeing Google do the same with Motorola; their build quality's certainly fantastic and it's not as if they haven't had more than their fair share of sales disappointments.

The problem is though, I don't think this is now ever likely to happen as now that Google owns Motorola Mobility, it'll be seen as them building a monopoly and probably pounced upon by the US government in addition to countless PC (political correctness) nuts.

Strange though that there's no talk about the closed-loop monopoly Apple has built for itself?

But to get back onto the original topic...

I've owned a total of two Samsung 'phones in my life, and the first one was returned two days after its purchase for having absolutely shoddy battery life. Back in the GSM days it was quite common for 'phones to run half a week on a single charge with moderate use and up to a whole week with light use - but the Samsung was lucky to last much more than half a day.

The second Samsung 'phone is the Nexus S I'm using now, and though the battery use is good, the choice of plastic as a building material is atrocious. My HTC Touch Pro fell off my motorbike and got driven over by a car, and all I had to do was buy a replacement battery cover. My HTC Desire Z bounced off concrete several times and only has a few light scratches to show for its adventures. The Nexus S though after falling only once onto concrete from less than a metre up, has a chunky dent in the corner.

I don't think the Nexus 4 will be anywhere near as robust as my two former HTC models (indeed, I don't think the current HTC models are anywhere near as strong either), but it'd have to be a far sight better than anything Samsung's put out over the past few years.
[Nexus 4 General] Rycon33:
Quick question to those who have used LG android devices before, did you have any problem with accelerometer/gyro sensor?

I've encountered this on my Sony xperia P and my Asus Nexus 7, they were both heavily favoring the right side even on a flat surface.

Racing games in portrait mode is terrible LOL.

My Xperia P is still in service center due to that:(. But I got lucky with Nexus 7 able to calibrate by this app "GPS status and tools".
[Nexus 4 General] tarbyonline:
This is exactly what I thought as well. Really like theblook of the Lumia range tho.

RE LG quality, I can't comment first hand on their phones as don't own one but swear by their tv's and monitors. Personally I don't like Samsung's plastic - I feel the s3 is cheapened greatly by its plastics so will be interesting to see what the LG feels like with glass being used (will apple pull out some obscure patent on the use of glass as a material now lol). I too would have liked an Xperia nexus - maybe I have been lucky but never had a problem with Sony (or Ericsson) build quality (plenty of Samsung issues mind but that was in the pre android days), and despite being plastic I think my Xperia u feels higher quality than most Samsung's for example. Its the software (update) side of things that lets Sony down most (still waiting on official ics here)

I would have loved a Motorola nexus mind. With the fantastic price from Google tho (the LG nexus is widely reported to be costing double the Google price from non Google channels at least here in the UK) maybe this is the iPhone killer. Just a pity it lacks LTE, not that I personally need it but it would take away the iPhone 5's advantage here

I really would like a Sony made Google backed Nexus, I have both a Sony Xperia Ion and Nexus 4, and find myself going back to the Ion for gaming, photos and media . Although i will give it to the nexus 4 in apperance its much sexier.

Cant wait for the Xperia Z :laugh:

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:02 PM ----------

I found the build quality of my Xperia Ion 10x that of my Motorola RAZR , first day i dropped my razr the power button popped off.

I dropped my Xperia Ion countless times and shes still is solid, no chips and very few scratches.

I love Xperia Ions 13 mp camera , Playstation Certified , Walkman. And if Sony were to get Nexified with Google backed os updates it would make the comapany a mosnter in mobile device categories
[Nexus 4 General] barconr:
Sony make great devices. I find their built in software to be inferior to other phones. A google sony device might make a great match.
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
Sorry, but I no longer have faith in sony devices (ps3 exception). Ive had numerous vaios, and tvs, and even SE phones, w800 and Xperia X1a and they don't last. Beautiful machines though.

They no longer justify the price premium they used to command, I personally would like to see a nexus "note"with the s-pen integrated.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkshado:
I happened to spend some time tinkering on a couple of brand new GT-I5510M earlier today. I'm aware that MSM7227 bootloaders are different between Froyo and Gingerbread installations, and that the sammobile.com 5510M stock image doesn't contain the Froyo bootloaders.

This 7zip file contains an Odin-flashable image combining properly named bml dumps: arm11boot, mibib, oemsbl and qcsbl in addition to the remainder of the stock image (boot, recovery and system.rfs).

Caveat: The file is untested. The phones I have are working, and I'm not doing anything to them beyond temp rooting to get their unlock codes and those partition dumps.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BTG-XCELL:
Will Nexus 4 recharge on a Duracell Powermat? I've read a few articles about the different wireless charging standards, but most of them are pretty vague about the differences and if there is cross-compatiblity (even if at a reduced efficiency).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 338lm:
I've got a Powermat PMM-1PA and wondered the same thing. The Nexus 4 is Qi compliant when it comes to wireless charging. The best info I've found so far comes from here

So, it sounds like it will work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoyNDSU:
So Powermat is Qi compliant? Very cool.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grydrgn:
I asked on powermat's live chat if it worked with QI compliant phones and they said it did not.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoyNDSU:
Yeah, I emailed them to check and make sure before I bought something, and they it was a no go. :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterperfect:
Hi people,

just to clarify, this is not what says the president of powermatt:

http://www.wirelesspowerplanet.com/news/10-questions-for-daniel-schreiber-president-of-powermat/

and always this is not what customers on amazon are saying:

http://www.amazon.com/Energizer-Qi-Enabled-Position-Inductive-Charger/product-reviews/B0041RRORA

Powermat is QI compliant.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjpado:
The Duracell powermat does not specifiy that its a "qi" device.. I have witnessed the lg qi charger go up $12 in under 24 hours from retailers on Amazon in fact many sites are sold out. The lumina chargers are going for over $90!!! The gouging has begun for the holiday season.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] booyakasha:
I know for a fact the Duracell Powermat M1PB1 from Amazon DOES NOT work. Purchased it and returned it because it didn't charge my phone. Shame, it was great build quality and really good looking, IMO
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjpado:
Really? Sorry for the post stating it does. I'll take it down. Dude, I looked on sooo many sights and came to the conclusion it would. Sites said it was "qi"compatible. So angry. Gotta return mine when it arrives tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up. I can believe you can't get that info from the Duracell web site, almost as they mislead you by not mentioning its compatibility.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laconizein:
hi I came across this discussion and thought that the info i have will help so i joined just to post it

I didnt bother doing any research and bought this

ebay uk item

170973013624 its a portable 3 device powermat with hinges to fold it down and 3 of the tranciever things.

possibly available elsewhere

it cost £5

I can confirm that

IT WILL CHARGE THE NEXUS 4

you just have to get it lined up right.

the sweet spot is in the middle of the phone when placed at 90 degrees to the mat just slide it back and forth till you hit it.

and no i don't mean it works with the tranciever thingys it works nativley

I know they are not supposed to but well proof of pudding is in a charging nexus 4 on this mat is it not?

hope this helps some of you.

Laconizein
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rod3:
That item has nothing to do with this thread as this thread is specifically for the Duracell power at which does not work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] task514:
I can confirm that the single Powermat does not work to charge the Nexus 4.

I was in-stores and found the Powermat at $8, asked the clerk to let me test it first... it didn't work.

I tried to place it carefully, sliding slowly to hit the sweet spot, but nothing... doesn't work.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
I am not sure if the Gyroscope sensor is active in this rom. based on Gyroscope testing apps from the market, no data is present to show the gyro is active.

I just downloaded and installed Android 4.2 Camera and everything works great except for the photosphere. Photosphere does not seem to know where I am moving the phone to take a photo as if there is something not going right with the gyroscope.

All the other sensors work except for the gyro

According to Phone Tester app form the market;

Gyroscope: waiting for data.... No data appears

Properties:

NAME: R3GD20 GYROSCOPE SENSOR

VENDOR: ST

VERSION: 1

POWER: 6.1 mA

RANGE: 34.906586

RESOLUTION: 6.1

I just flashed king Kang with the latest kernel.

I got the same problem going on, no Gyroscope.

How the hell does the Gyroscope break on a band new phone?

Could a sensor be broken by rooting the phone improperly?

I ask because the HTC boot up logo screen says in red text “This build is for development purposes only Do not distribute outside of HTC without HTC’s written permission. Failure to comply may lead to legal action”. Is that normal?

EDIT: I just tried Z-Device Test from the market and the Gyroscope WORKS!!

All 3 axis show a working sensor.

But the raw data numbers do not show

So what the heck is going on for other apps to not read the Gyro?

Atleast I know its not a hardware failure
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] YellowNinja:
Same problem!

Dude I have that exact same problem, I've been looking all over the place for more info

I actually make an account just so I could reply to you

I'm currently on Paranormal Android 2.5.1 jelly bean ROM

I flashed the 4.2 camera and everything works fine, pictures, videos, gallery, all except the photosphere

As soon and I click photo sphere it shows that grey grid that looks 3D and a blue dot where I'm supposed to align so it can take the 1st picture. The blue dot moves very very slow and I have to move my phone way too much to get it aligned, then after the 1st picture I try to move to the right or left but I can't the phone doesn't respond. I can only make it move up or down but super slowly so the 1st picture taken is straight ahead but then I basically have to move my phone backwards so the little blue dot gets aligned and take a picture that's nowhere near where its supposed to be. So I just stop it and it renders the photo sphere and I could see it in the gallery but its only the 2 pictures I was able to take that are way off.

I also noticed that after I fail at the photo sphere my gyro and accelerometer are all retarded because I can no longer play tilt based games because the phone wont respond to my tilts. But when I restore my backup I made before I flashed the new camera, I could play tilt games, I still can't use any compass app because the gyro isn't responding. When I run androsensor it just says waiting for update.

Also if I flash the 4.2 camera I could still play tilt game they work but as soon and I try the photo sphere it messes everything up and the tilt games no longer work

So yea you're not alone on this one buddy

EDIT: I just used the z device test and it shows the gyro as working because it moves when i love the phone its just not registering any of the data like how it does on the accelerometer test where it shows the little lines that move up or down when I shake the phone.

I wonder if going back to stock rom would fix this?

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
AHH i'm not the only one.

Everything you just described is the exact thing that happens to me. The exact!

I have searched and searched and found nothing about the OneX Gyro failing.

I am quite frustrated with this issue. I have tried flashing other roms, fixing permissions, clearing cach, data, reboots, and I have gotten nothing.

I am to the point of RUU'ing to a stock ATT rom, relocking the bootloader unrooting and flashing Stock OEM rom.

I made another thread here: [Q] Stock OEM factory rom

Please keep me informed on this issue as I wil do the samel If I come up with anything.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] YellowNinja:
Me too I was going crazy because there was nothing about this anywhere that I looked.

I wouldn't mind going back to stock but I have no idea how to do so. I made a backup of my stock ROM with twrp before I flashed paranoid android. But since I had to flash the boot.img to get paranoid android to work I don't know if I have to do the same with my stock backup.

Can I just go into twrp and restore the stock backup that I made? Or do I have to flash the boot.img as well? I copied my stock backup to my computer and opened it but there isn't a boot.img file in there so I don't know what to do

I'll be sure to check out your other thread
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
Well I never made backup of my stock rooted rom, so I have no ideal about flashing the backup stock rom concerning the boot.img.

I am just will to go back to factory spec and RUU the phone and reroot.

I wish some more people have come accross this to see if there is a fix.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:

double post
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] YellowNinja:
Well thanks I'll just keep on searching :)

Yea I hope more people read this maybe they can help

I don't even care about the gyro until photo sphere haha

Oh I noticed that on Google maps if I go into street view then menu and tap on compass mode it doesn't work either, I move my phone around but it doesn't move.

You mind checking on yours to see if it works?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
I can confirm that compass mode does not work on main map and street view with Google maps.

Compass does not work on GPS status app either.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] YellowNinja:
Well then we basically have the same phone haha

Any luck on going back to stock?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
I am trying to hold off on RUUing cause I just got eveything set up the way I like.

It is going to be a pain in the ass to start all over just because of one little issue.

I might try tomorrow seeing that I am off for the day
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Mine works fine. EVERYTHING.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
I just went thru the RUU process and now my gyroscope is working great.

All sensors are working.

Now I have to unlock bootloader and reroot.

I wonder how the heck this one sensor got screwed up during the rooting process?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] YellowNinja:
That's great to hear! I think I'll do that as well

That is very weird that the sensors would mess up like that, maybe the ROMs don't have the nessessary drivers

Are you going to flash another ROM? Im going to flash an ICS ROM maybe they won't mess up the sensors
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
Yes I really like RebelMOD 2.0 with rohan kernel build 5.

This rom according to post does not have any issue's with sensor.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] HTC_Phone:
Concerning to the OP... That red message appears after you lock the bootloader. It's evident on all of our phones.

I'm a developer and I've flashed MANY ROMs. Many. And my gyroscope is still functional. I had the CM Nightly flashed last night, and the gyro was working great. Something must not be displaying data properly, but I highly doubt the gyro was "broken" and magically fixed with the RUU.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dorkboy69:
I am having the same problem but only on aosp ROMs. The gyroscope works perfect on sense ROMs but I prefer aosp. I have been looking everywhere to find a solution but came up empty.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

I am also coming from the 2.20 with hboot 1.14 if it matters.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
Thanks for the clarification concerning the red message.

I swear to you that the gyro went crap after flashing a jelly bean rom.

Then like magic after the RUU it worked.

I am in the process of rooting my phone again right now.

I hope it doesnt do it again..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dorkboy69:
Keep us posted please.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] davidalindsey:
Okay So I have a unlock rooted AT&T phone, no rom yet.

I checked gyro and it functions as it should.

I will be flashing rebel mod 2.0 with rohan kernel build 5 and report back.

[Galaxy Note II General] wing_addict_usa:
I'm very annoyed.

While using stylus I have to switch to fingers to use function buttons

Home button has no light and its basically a blind expeidition to find it

Did no one play with it before selling it?
[Galaxy Note II General] Yrcimim:
You bought it without proper research it seems...

I can't share your feelings though, I've never been more satisfied with a mobile phone (and had quite a few of them since '97...)
[Galaxy Note II General] richlum:
You can do a stylus gesture to activate the menu button - an up arrow like this /\

and to activate the back button a back arrow like this <

I don't have a problem finding the home button as it is slightly raised. Even in the dark, it is easy to find. In fact, that's how I waked up my phone and have no problems in the dark. I might just take you a week or so to get used to where the home button is, and you'll literally be able to push it with you eyes closed.
[Galaxy Note II General] wing_addict_usa:
You cant exactly research these tiny nuances.

True about the gestures but then again, finding the pen button is another challenge.

When you insert the pen the phone knows so theres a wacom sensor in there. Why cant they put more under the buttons? Its just so strange like they said f it we are done.

And the home button is just as strange, they worked on the lighted capacitive back and menu but they said f it and stuck in the home button.

And last thing, the keyboard sucks. Swift is kinda cool but swiping is completely bad, nothing like real swype. Im going to try install the beta but too bad it wont support one sided operation.

[Galaxy Note II General] wing_addict_usa:
That does look cool and i could turn off the button leds but then im wasting lcd. And I FING want the search button back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And why no home gesture for s pen!?!?!?!?!?
[Galaxy Note II General] bootloopz:
Dumbest post I've read all week. If you can't find the S-pen button quickly and without looking, then you need to have your motor skills tested. Also, the home button is raised and directly in the middle. Get a marker and draw a map on your screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] FloatingFatMan:
^ I'm fairly sure the OP is just trolling. No one is -that- stupid.

[Galaxy Note II General] theoneofgod:
It's below the bottom of the screen (in the middle) and it is raised.

I don't see how you find it so difficult. I'm sure a blind person could fine it quite easily.
