I'm nodding at every paragraph. I agree, they hurt it. And Josh made himself look like a tool. Still not NEAR as bad as the ABC/NBC reviews. Those just make me want to puke. And you know when the iPhone came out that's all they talked about every program..I shouldn't even watch the news anymore.

Techradar review:

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/google-nexus-4-1108999/review/1#articleContent

I think we all going to find out how battery life is when we get our units.

---------- Post added at 12:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

I'm not sure if this has been posted already but it doesn't hurt to post it again lol! It's Gizmodo "wrap up" review of the nexus 4:

"Probably. As of right now, it is officially my favorite phone by a healthy margin. It’s just so fast, so smooth, and the software is great. At times it feels like things open faster that you even think them. Even it being limited to HSPA+ (not LTE) doesn’t really hurt it much, at least not in NY. Gamers will certainly love it, but really it’s for everyone who hates lag and delay. That’s probably most of us.

The only thing that really gives me pause is battery life. On paper, the 2100 mAh should power it through the day no problem. As it is right now, this is not a phone I could take on a long trip where outlet access is spotty. That honor still goes to the Motorola RAZR MAXX HD, which is still very fast and will get you almost two days of real use on a single charge (and it’s only 0.2mm thicker than this phone). We’re hoping that’s something that will be fixed in the upcoming SOFTWARE UPDATE (WHICH WILL HIT BEFORE THE PHONE SHIPS), and if that’s the case, we’re probably talking 4.5 stars and our unreserved “Go buy it now!” Fingers crossed."

The Nexus 4 will be available through T-Mobile for $200 on-contract starting November 13th. The unlocked version will be available at Google Play in 8GB and 16GB varieties and cost $300 and $350, respectively. [Google]
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Excuse me OP but seems like you've forgotten to add UK reviews in that list. Such as CNET UK for example.

Infact, American reviews are hardly relevant to the rest of the world as most of their reviews seem to be talking far more about the lack of LTE than anything else useful.

Please take the time to add other countries viewpoints on the matter. Thank you!
[Nexus 4 General] sudoeste:
From all the reviews I've seen of LG Nexus 4 the only thing I can say is... The reviews aren't bad, the reviewers are. I have yet to read a single good and impartial review.

Some try to be a little "scientific" but their true colors shine through. Others show their passion for android but overshoot and instead of writing about what it matters just brag "I already have Nexus 4 look at me!!"

Only one review, forgot which one, mentioned the dreaded fullhd@22fps.

The sensor is capable of 30fps@1080p and 60fps@720p, yet the software appears to be resizing the 22.5fps@8mp available in camera mode to fullhd.

Maybe this is a "feature" because camera videomode would be cropped? Or is it a pre-release "bug"? - Someone else also pointed that out here on XDA, sorry but I can't remember who.

Another thing are the video samples. Almost all the samples from Nexus 4 are pre-edited (badly I would say) instead of straight of camera. Whats the problem with that? A 22fps video edited to a 30fps video file will be even worse than 22fps original.

Phil from Android Central provided today some samples that appear straight from the camera - On a side note, the video from the secondary camera looks way better than main (30fps vs 22(ish)fps)

And about battery... it's even worse! The review part, not the battery!

I don't want to ramble anymore as I don't have a Nexus 4 in-front of me and likely won't have one for quite some time (Hi playstore devices, I'm looking forward to meeting you).

I also don't think more than 3 or 4 users will have the procrastination skills to read this blob of text someone who doesn't know what he is talking about wrote.

To Google; next time would be better to sample a few users with moderate tech knowledge and offer them the possibility of doing a user review. I know I would do a better job than 90% of the reviews already out there.

Phil Nickinson: I'm looking at you, please don't enlarge the 90% slice!

I think the Techradar review is probably the best and most reliable review out there. They are extremely thorough in all of their reviews and they aren't ones to pull punches.

Importantly they say the battery life is better than the S3 which is apparently quite good.
[Nexus 4 General] Frunobulax:
Interesting, I noticed the front camera is MUCH better than the rear one, too.

I keep hoping there is indeed a crazy software bug related to the rear camera, "recording photos as video". I don't have any hope that Google/LG are going to fix it - this is not a problem for them, what matters is that it is "1080p recording" on paper, but maybe a few months later, the community manages to fix it.

Here's Walt Mossberg's Review of the Nexus 4 for the WSJ.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203347104578102951783322328.html

I know Mossberg has been around for a LONG LONG time, and is well respected by his peers, but I find it hard to take any of his reviews seriously because he's as old as my grandparents, and old people tend to be techtards. If that makes me a ****, so be it. :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Qbancelli:
Not to mention that he is the biggest Apple's shill in the planet.
[Nexus 4 General] aceo07:
It's too bad there are quite a few reviewers that have an iPhone or are on AT&T. When they test, there's a good chance they're testing on AT&T's network, which has good LTE.. but if you're using a phone that doesn't have LTE, that'll be the big thing they complain about.

The few screenshots I've seen of Nexus on TMobile HSPA, it was clocked at 27Mbps. Fast enough for me.

LOL at WSJ review: "But I'd advise Android buyers to consider other models with LTE, better speakers, and the ability to add more memory and work on all carriers." LTE phone with expandable memory that works on 'all' carriers? I don't think even the magic iPhone has all those features..

Little update regarding battery life:

http://blog.gsmarena.com/lg-optimus-g-battery-tests-are-done-here-are-the-results/

These are the results of the Optimus G which features same battery capacity, same SoC and same screen.

It did fairly well. Sometimes better, sometimes worse than others, but definitely on par.

So we can hope that the N4 will score similar to this.

Sorry for posting the same link in two threads, but there are so many threads running that I didn't know which one is actually relevant.
[Nexus 4 General] mmm286:
Hi,

For me is very important the shutter speed of camera. I see in these review that it seems that doesn't works very well:

http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/google-nexus-4-1108999/review/6#articleContent

Sorry for my english!
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
There are videos here of it having instant shutter.
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
And those were from LG which has close to, if not, final software.

So probably a pre-release issue.

[Nexus 4 General] TobiS87:
LG Germany also replied at the comments, that the software is NOT final on the review units. So I guess the final, optimized Nexus 4 will show up much improved regarding battery life and performance. So all the benchmark whores can calm down. :eek:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] IE-coRe:
If you want to make your xperia look more like the nexus first change lcd density from 240 to 220 or even better 210. Then go to your launcher settings (i use apex) and set for the homscreen hirizontal margin and vertical margin to large and the dock horizontal margin large and the vertical margin to medium. Then see the changes: (the left one is after)

Here a galaxy nexus so that you can compare:

If you are on a rom that includes rom control (like xICS) you can do it there in the general ui settings. Otherwise you have to edit build.prop.

guys please help me, i have a serious problem.

i had a LIB(criskelo14) based rom with domination v1.3.4 and everything was super smooth. yesterday installed a LJ4 based rom(criskelo 18) and then domination v1.4 . after installing this amazing theme my proximity sensor is always on and i have too much battery drain.

i wiped my device and with a fresh install every thing returned to normal.but after restoring my apps problem is back. i have deleted many apps that may caused this prob but nothing is fixed.

i attached a list of my apps.about 340 apps.

please guide me what should i do?i don't want to loose my apps.

please take a look at list of my installed apps

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] rohanchrome:
Okay.. So I got a new computer..

Specs:

CPU - AMD FX-6100 [ 6 Cores 6 Threads ] [ Clocked at 3.3 GHz ]

RAM - 8GB

GPU - ATI Radeon HD 5400 Series

and I'm going to dual boot it with Windows 7 64bit.. Have 32bit installed currently...

And I was wondering what the best ubuntu version would be for dev purposes? 12.04? or 10.04?

I know there are some fixes that have to be done in 12.04 for source to compile but what about 10.04 and 11.10?? which one is better?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] #define:
I believe I read somewhere(liverpool_fan said it) that Ubuntu 10.04 was used by the CM team to compile the source for CM10.. So that version will not have any compatibility issues with anything..

So I'd recommend using 10.04..

But then again, personal preference is the way to go!!
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] LiVeRpOoL-FaN:
hmm ok good start, for what do you want to compile? my experience so far i`ve had to install diff versions of ubuntu to compile cm roms and aosp based roms......11.10 ubuntu 64bit has done the best so far for cm9/7.......had a few errors with compiling cm10 on ubuntu12.04 64bit (used 10.06.6 lucid instead) but it may have been solved now......whichever version you try make sure its 64bit version

as for dual booting, personally i would`nt, can be a ball ache if your system throws a wobbler or you mess something up...I prefer the virtual machine route......Windows 7 64bit native os install, then install vmware workstation to install whichever flavour of Ubuntu you like
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] rohanchrome:
ubuntu 10.04?

Hm.. thanks for the quick reply.. I'm going to install Windows 7 64bit... But say I already have the sources in my laptop... Could I get them into my virtualbox or vmware hard drive.. ?? and I'll have to use that dynamic storage thing as I'll have to sync the sources... I have a 5mbps connection.. Takes quite a while for sources to sync... Especially of CNA..

EDIT - Lucid Lynx or Oneiric Ocelot?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] LiVeRpOoL-FaN:
hmm well if you`ve got the sources already on your comp (in a ubuntu installation) then you can backup/compress the "projects" folder in "android/system/.repo/" it contains all the repo`s you sync from a ubuntu installation and will save time downloading again, then you could install windows 64bit (update it all, windows update etc) install vmware workstation or similar, install ubuntu 64bit through vmware, setup the environment, setup the repo you had (without repo syncing) and restore projects folder to the same place then repo sync............ not sure on windows based git repo`s
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] rohanchrome:
How about 32 bit windows and 64 bit ubuntu running virtual box?

Okay So I realized I have only 4gb ram so how about I run Ubuntu 64 bit in a 32bit windows?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] LiVeRpOoL-FaN:
well if your comp is capable of 64bit (dual core and above) but you have 32bit windows installed then yes you can install vmware with ubuntu 64bit BUT you will be limited to 4gb ram max, which means you can only allocate around 2.5 - 3.0gb of ram as windows 32bit needs a 1gb ram minimum to run processes.....maybe you can use swap partition on ubuntu or something to add more virtual ram

When I press the headphones into the phone (I have to use a lot of strenght..), it works, but when I stop pressing the headphones into the phone, it moves a little bit, and the contact between phone and headphones is lost.

My waranty is void because of root, so I decided to buy a bluetooth headphones, does anyone have any experience with it?

That was my exact problem also! Try shaving a Q - Tip and lightly dip it in rubbing alcohol and give it a swab, it worked for me being an old phone I just figured dust build up, also I switched to a pair of Marley headphones that claim wont break and the jack is quite strong, still got my WFS even though I recently upgraded to gnex. Hopefully that helps, if not I'd say replace it, use amazon for ANY cell phone replacement parts you need and YouTube for several tutorial videos!

I've seen a lot of comparisons and done some searches, but I haven't found a great thread really comparing the advantages of the new Nexus 4 over the Galaxy Nexus.

I have the Galaxy Nexus running on T-Mobile. I purchased the larger Samsung battery (~2100) and haven't had any complaints along those lines. The phone doesn't seem to lag and has been among the best devices I've owned.

I do agree the camera could have been better..I felt it was a step-down from the camera on the T-Mobile G2 I had previously. I also wish phone manufacturers would put a dedicated camera button on the phone!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
I'm switching from the Gnex for the IPS LCD screen, bigger battery (although I'm sad it is non-removable), and the camera. I could care less about the processor and RAM because the gnex is more than enough for me in those categories. I also don't like the form factor of the gnex with the big hump thing at the bottom; I would rather just have it be all one thickness the the N4.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innov8ion:
The resolution is practically the same (both around 720p) although IPS vs. pentile may be a bit of a plus. Also, the GNex on Verizon is theoretically almost twice as fast as HSPA+/42. I've got the extended 2100 mah battery as well.

My thought is that the Nexus 4 will be snappier, take better pictures, and get better updates and less meddling from Verizon. HSPA+/42 is only offered by T-Mobile in the states whereas AT&T only supports HSPA+/21. Might be enough for me to switch to T-Mobile but the $240 to end my Verizon contract is a bit daunting.
