Hi guys. There's something I like to know about.

I noticed that the amount of free ram gradually decrease since the last boot. Right after reboot, my device shows e.g. 260 mb of free ram but after some days it shows just 150 mb of free ram exactly with the same apps left open the first hours after reboot. Why?

BTW I use 'process manager' app to monitor free ram.

[Networking] racefan132:
Ok I need some help I have a jelly bean tablet that will dchp timeout while obtaining IP address on my school network. This only happens while trying to connect to 16 bit routers. Even though it works on all the 24 bit routers with the exact same settings and protocols running off the same network. I've rooted, checked all the dhcp runhook permissions, and even flashed a different rom. Please offer whatever advice you might have. Thanks
[Networking] MrObvious:
I have no idea what you are talking about in 16 vs 24 bit. Do you mean IPv4 vs. IPv6?
[Networking] racefan132:
address classes

Well I men the address classes, like class A (8 bit), class B (16 bit), or class C (24 bit)
[Networking] MrObvious:
Maybe the school uses class c.
[Networking] racefan132:
No the school uses both class b and class c routers. Both of which are connected to the same network and there is no difference between them besides the fact that they are different classes. I can connect to the class c but not the 16 bit class b.
[Networking] MrObvious:
Well do some troubleshooting. Does it work at home (switch your DHCP lease IP range to 172.16.xx.xx with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0)? If it does, then your school is doing that on purpose and you'll have to talk to the IT person. Does it happen on earlier versions of Android? If not then your device is doing it...which would be strange indeed.
[Networking] USNGoat:
There is no physical difference between the routers in this instance, you're referring to subnetting. This is just the process used to manage IP address allocation. Perhaps it's a congestion issue, as a /16 network is pretty big for DHCP.
[Networking] Kaeghord:
Does anyone else you know has the same kind of problem ?

If someone else has the same problem, the router might have an issue with the DHCP lease or have a DHCP conflict (some routers have the bad habit to store every address they give, and not deleting their cache afterwards, so they can't give an address twice, but it would take some time for a router giving addresses on a /16 network).

You told us that the IT is using both /24 and /16 network, are they using the same kind of network (both with 172.16.x.x for instance), or are they separated networks ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] sportscrazed2:
Has anyone noticed something like this on their inspire? I have 2 barely visible greenish yellow lines on my display that you wouldn't even notice if you weren't looking for it. It's like 2 rows of pixels are emmiting a slightly off color. Is this something I should worry about?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
Could be graphics chip or screen related. May become worse. Sometimes the actual cable that connects the screen comes ajar and would produce that sort of issue. Hard to say though exactly. You could try re installing ruu or whatever Rom your using and see if it goes away.
[HTC Inspire 4G] dannytux:
you are on STOCK ROM or custom ROM? if you are rooted then maybe you can try disabled the HW overlay... if not, try to take off the battery and see if it helps.. :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beberobu:
As the days goes on and i look at that smartphone that i want it, of course, i ask myself (for the start) if is an optical illusion or i see right and what is about i talk:

compared wiht LG Optimus G, the screen is same but resolution could not be really same, cause a little space down is eat by the capacitive buttons (see in picture of Engadget review, below, or here: http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/)

So, the ask is, Does the display on LG Nexus 4, really 4.7" and 1280x768 resolution if 15% of that space is capacitive buttons and dont show anything else ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nic85:
yes it is...

every review say that One x's display is slightly better than LG one...so i made this question to htc forum.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=33605612#post33605612

HTC isn't a screen manufacturer,so where they took the best display on the merket? :confused:

I thought the new LG display was absolutly the best one... :crying:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
The LG Nexus 4 do not have capacitive buttons. Neither do it take up 15% of the space.

Google posted the spec themselves, they would not lie about it, that would result in a class action lawsuit.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
The important detail is that when watching full screen videos, the buttons auto-hide and you can use that screen space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:
Technically, 1280x720 is usable, the rest is used on the software keys
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vido.ardes:
Not true, you took the value off the wrong dimension.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:
Oh, so I did, derp

Maybe 1200x768 then ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
The buttons take up 96 pixels vertically on the Galaxy Nexus. Assuming the same size, that leaves 768x1184 "usable" resolution at 4.45 inches.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nic85:
so the screen is not 16:9 anymore...but 15:9 -->1280x768 pixels

so if we play a 720p video in landscape,we will have a black bar up or down the video? :confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Unconn:
No. The bar will disappear when watching videos.

When will a company make a phone with on screen keys that don't take up screen real estate.

When you factor in the software keys the screen is closer to 4.4 inches.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supersain08:
How do you expect them to make ONSCREEN keys without taking SCREEN real estate
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _guzzler_:
Search for gnex fullscreen. There are several mods that let you hide soft navigation keys and replacce with gesture based navigation or something like the camera has in 4.2

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NardVa:
With the Nexus 4 I would say put the onscreen keys in the bezel area. (Where the hard keys would go) It would make it a 5 inch screen in theory but at all times you would have the full 4.7 of screen real estate to use.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abe in space:
So you want a bigger phone, thus giving you more real estate? Easy solution: buy a Galaxy Note II.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] James.UBC:
no... im pretty sure he said he wanted a screen with a thinner bezel on the bottom so that with the on screen buttons, it looks only just bottom heavy (in terms of black)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3rv:
There seem to be a lot of confusion about the screen size of this device due to google including the on screen menu buttons to the advertised screen size. I have made a lot of research on this topic and contacted several testers and here is the deal... Similarly to the Galaxy Nexus, the 4.7" full screen mode (without on screen menu keys) only activates when watching videos. No other apps such as games, gallery or browser support it. The external dimensions of the phone are those of any other 4.7" phone, but the usable screen never exceeds 4.45" due to the on screen keys always present, except for videos. 16:9 videos, due to the aspect ratio of the N4, will have black bars at the top and bottom of the screen, and won't be truly full screen either, but with a better 4.6" diagonal... Note that if you happen to shoot photos or videos at native screen ratio you will then have black bars on each side of your TV. A mod was made available for rooted Gnex to hide the on screen buttons and use them only when needed. Without it, the N4 is a big phone with a small screen compared to the competition.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlleN7:
That's perfect! I think a study showed that the ideal screen size for the average hand is 4.5" and that's pretty darn close and just right under it!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Initial_G:
The left over screen size is perfectly fine and the fact that the soft keys auto hide make it much more convenient when doing things such as watching videos. The size of the screen makes me a happy camper!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCKSTAR XS:
Interesting fun fact, the onscreen buttons take up 3.75% of the screen thus making it about 4.52 inches of usable screen. Let's refrain from using random numbers shall we?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexdecimal:
After going between the Nexus 7 and the S3 I do like having the dedicated buttons/layout. Proportionally speaking though the 4.52" should still be good screen real estate.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCKSTAR XS:
Thank you for your realistic number lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DonDizzurp:
they can also be customized and smaller with the help of AOKP ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCKSTAR XS:
And if you don't want to mess with aokp you can just decompile framework-res.apk and edit bools.xml to have smaller size. I prefer 32px myself on my gnex
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Initial_G:
This, love the resizing that AOKP offers!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
I don't need ridiculous big ass screens, it had to stop at some point. 4.3-4.5 is my ideal screen size. At some points it become impractical as a phone.

There are gesture apps that tries to get rid of the navigation buttons all together, I would like Google to come up work something on that, but I think it would require a rework on the UI.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Assuming the onscreen buttons are 96 pixels tall, then you are the one using "random numbers". I've already stated the correct information earlier in this thread.

---------- Post added at 08:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 AM ----------

There will be bars on the sides of the phone (top and bottom when holding the phone in landscape mode), each 24 pixels wide.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kookas:
Thumb menus. Google seem to be curious about them (hence, there was a Labs option for the old stock Browser and now there's a thumb menu in the camera) but for some reason aren't implementing them fully.

yeah,that's right...i think will be better crop the video to fit entire screen :confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
This is what a standard 16:9 aspect ratio image/video would look like on a 5:3 ratio screen like the Nexus 4. This should give you an idea of the size of the black bars you would see.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlleN7:
5:3? Is it not a 16:10 ratio like their Nexus 7?

NVM did the math, it is 1.666666666666666666666666666666666666667 instead of 1.6
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cusa:
I guess we could make the buttons a bit smaller so that they don't take up much space on the screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCKSTAR XS:
Considering the bools.xml say "48px" I would say 96 is a random number. You do realize what a 96 pixel navbar would look like right? A Navbar that bigs needs some big thumbs my friend.

The PNG in the systemui might be 96 pixels tell but it gets resized to 48 on the phone because of the bools.xml tells it its 48px.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
It's 48 dip (device independent pixels), which is normalized for a 160dpi screen. Since the Nexus 4 has a 320dpi screen, it will take up twice as many pixels (96).

This is what a 96 pixel navbar looks like: http://i.imgur.com/crsj5.jpg (This is just a random screenshot I found taken by a Galaxy Nexus, which, by the way, has a 96 pixel navbar.) Nexus 4 will look the same except slightly wider since it uses a slightly wider aspect ratio.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] st3rv:
In my opinion, a larger screen doesn't make a device impractical (unless you love smaller text, photos and videos!), but it becomes impractical when the overall dimensions of the phone are too large. A nexus 4 is as large as the HTC 1X, LG Optimus, etc. and therefore is as "impractical" as any other 4.7" phone, but offers a smaller 4.45" screen... I agree that Google should at least have a built in feature to hide these keys on more than just videos.

---------- Post added at 12:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 PM ----------

Random numbers? The height of the soft key bar is known, and if you just do the math using the N4 aspect ratio, you will get a 4.45" diagonal. I have never seen that 3.75% fun fact before though...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B97:
I thought that in video the navbar just dims into 3 dots? If it dissapered how would we exit the video?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephantom:
You can still tap on the dots and the placement are still the same. So in landscape mode, it'll be on the side vertically placed with recent - home - back as the function from top to bottom
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B97:
So there is never a time where the buttons are not there in one way or another?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephantom:
When you watch say a video in YouTube and go into landscape mode, you get the full screen without the nav bar. A tap on the screen will bring them up

You can also use the extended desktop toggle which is part of many custom roms, so you can activate it, play a game or so in "full" fullscreen and long press on the power buttons brings the softkeys back.

It won't be full screen though, not the full 4.7inches anyway. The navigation buttons may disappear, however the black bar, the background on which they sit on will still remain, taking up screen size.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGREX:
I been thinking about getting the new Nexus7 with cellular and use it like a phone with a Bt headset. I figure this should be entirely possible from a software standpoint, or did google place some limitations to prevent this?

The obvious reason is the bigger screen, though I know the S4 on the N4 beats the crap of the Tegra3 on the N7, and theres also the problem of no back camera, but screen real state is a big deal for me.

At the same time carrying a tablet even a small one is not the same than a phone, and thats a con

The other big plus of the N7 is that with cellular it has 32GB while the N4 for the same price is a paltry 8GB.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnovello:
I have the 8Gb version that I use as a phone with Google voice. I only do it when I'm in the house though. I really couldn't see using it in public. My intent was to get the Note 2, but since it wasn't released for AT&T when I had hoped i opted for an S3 and the N7.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGREX:
What you mean "in public "? You wouldn't put it against your ear, that what the bt headset is for
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
I thought of doing this, but...

- There's no guarantee that the radio modem in that N7 version will support voice/SMS. It may be data only. We need to wait and see...

- In general, using a 7" as your sole device (instead of 7" + phone) seems to fall down if you want the latest hardware specs in your phone, e.g: BT 4.0, GPS with WAAS/EGNOS & GLONASS, proper camera (as you say), barometer, etc.

It's a nice idea though; I wish Google did a 7" with the same hardware specs as a top-end phone, then I'd happily use the 7" for everything, and dump the phone.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGREX:
Thats what worries me, being stuck with a data-only tablet. And I'm short on cash right now so I cant simply get both.

Still the N7 has a tegra3, thats hardly obsolete and afaik it has GPS and BT4 so for its good enough.

And I too wish google did that, it would be awesome, but tbh the nexus lineup is already pretty cool, I mean look at what other companies are charging for total crap phones and tablets
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdmackay:
I didn't really mean obsolete, more that it's just missing some nice features. But for the price, it's amazing, no question.

Yup, the N7 has GPS, but I don't think it has GLONASS; not sure about WAAS/EGNOS.

And I read that it has BT 3.0, not BT 4.0.

amusing, I have one here, but it's a present for someone else so I've not played with it... yet :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MGREX:
You're right its 3.0, bummer

It has a compass but I couldn't find anything about the other stuff.

No WAAS/EGNOS (mind you, does any Android phone support this? I've never had one that did).
