Hi there. Have you tried to clear unused running background apps? It could be because of them that cause the lag because it eats up your ram.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xais:
Yes i use ram booster pro which clears every running apps..

I have tried connecting when the device starts but no luck :(
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
Hi all Xperia 2011 users we will some lose cm support. We maybe won't get update to 4.2 eaven.

So all good developer buying new phones. I think it time to make own team of developers to make cm roms for 4.2 plus...

What you think?
[Xperia Arc General] siddardha21:
So true n1kolaa. I've seen your request on Twitter for porting cm roms by nAa, whose work is actually incredible. I came from x10 mini pro community and I was one of the testers of minicm roms. We have two options as of now.

1) request devs like nobodyatall to start supporting our devices as they are pretty similar. Correct me if I'm wrong. (Arc, arcS, pro)

2) form a new team for ourselves and start developing with help from recognized devs.

Our forms lack recognized developers and I dont understand why. The community I came from which is x10 mini pro is still getting huge support and it might even get a fully working 4.2 where as 2011 Xperia's are struggling to get it. No offense to anyone.

On otherside lets hope we get 4.2 port by fxp :thumbup:

Cheers.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
We should get XDA mods to merge Xperia Ray, Arc, Arc S, Neo and Neo V forums. Those devices are very similar, and it will be much easier to swap ideas and new features.
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
Good idea :)

*accessories
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
I agree. It's working out well with the NXT phones so I wouldn't see why it wouldn't work here.
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
Nothing is endless. Don't expect all the developers to provide lifetime support for some old device.
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
Very true. I've pointed this out in the thread with the jelly bean petition. Nothing lasts forever as you said. Everyone wants to upgrade to newer phones with newer technologies and whatnot. There's a reason why the X10 didn't get ICS. Other than probably a couple hardware limitations, Sony wants people to move onto bigger and better devices. It's also a marketing strategy. If they weren't releasing phones every year then they would have the time to upgrade older devices as that would be their focus.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
That's totally unrelated. FXP doesn't earn money if Sony sells more 2012 phones...

Developer support ends because there aren't enough users to justify the time spent working on ROM's. As the FXP team pointed out elsewhere, they would probably have to create an 3.x kernel from scratch, which will take 6 months. In 6 months, the number of people using their 2011 Xperia daily will probably be half or less of that today. I notice activity on the forum declining rapidly since this summer.
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
:$

Well I thought I would put my opinion there. I wasn't talking about FXP and devs but more about Sony in general

Sorry
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
Sorry, nothing against that, in fact I agree with you, but Ithought you were talking about FXP, it seemed a bit unrelated ;)
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
Have you put this forward to the relevant People?, if not come support it HERE

EDIT: Has you may have already seen...

...so will be interesting to see what they come up with.
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
I've sent a PM to diestarbucks 2 days ago, he has forwarded it to the relevant mods. Awaiting reply.
[Xperia Arc General] dinesh690:
I'm up for it, anything to make it last just a little longer :)
[Xperia Arc General] tinyXperia:
BTW, maybe it would be better to add Neo L development to Xperia Play forums. Neo L is kind of a weird add-on now, as ROM's for Neo are not simply compatible with it.

New version.
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
That's better. :good:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
Sorry to create a thread, but I was hoping for someone how knows Android well to help me out.

A brief description on my phone history: iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, Galaxy Note, return to iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5.

Upgrade from iPhone 3 to 4 was simple, contract ran out, got a new phone. With the Galaxy Note, I opened a new contract with a fair amount of time remaining on my iPhone contract. However I sold my Note after just 2 months with it. I had some battery issues, performance issues and I did not like the Touch Wizz UI and I did not want to root/flash (Not sure on which one) it. So I went back to my iPhone 4, however I like the look of "stock Android".

iPhone 5 comes out, still paying for the contract I took out for the Galaxy Note (£21.50 Bargain), so I brought the iPhone 5 directly from Apple and am now using that contract on my iPhone 5. My iPhone 4 contract has now ran out. So I have an iPhone 5 on a £21.50 a month contract.

So now that is out of the way, here is my problem (well it's not really). I can sell my iPhone 5 for more than what I paid for it, since there is a shortage at the moment (Well I presume that is why) and ever since the Nexus 7 I have wanted to grab a Nexus device. And now the Nexus 4 has been announced for such a bargain price I am considering giving it a go. Main reason I want to get rid of the iPhone is because I'm a little bored with iOS.

However I had that last time when I got the Galaxy Note, but didn't get on with it. But I always had the option to go back to iOS as I had my iPhone 4. And I can't afford to buy the Nexus 4 without selling the iPhone.

My current setup is very much Apple. I have an iMac and MacBook Air, which does all sync very nicely together with my phone. So my first question is, can Android be connected easily to OSX Mountain Lion? As I couldn't get it to work with my Note when I had that.

I have heard a number of complaints about the Nexus 4, from Android users. The "not enough space" and "can't access battery", well I'm used to that anyway and doesn't bother me. 16GB is easily enough for a phone in my opinion. But I have also heard of over heating issues and relatively poor build quality, which worries me a little.

I know the device being tested may not be final version, but it could also be. On paper, the phone sounds great. But after reading my post I hope someone can help me make a decision. Please no fanboy like posts, I know everyone likes to, but that doesn't help me make my mind up, if anything it makes me want an Android less.

All I want is something that is reliable and does the main things in an easy way. I have never had any major problems with iOS, a few gripes here and there. But it has become stale. My last experience with Android was horrible, but it may have just been the phone. Played on my friends S3 the other day and I enjoyed it. However I want stock Android/ Google Nexus is I am to jump in again.

Thanks,

Craig
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xLychee:
Afaik you can sync your android device with your iPhone, although you need an app, i think one that works is airsync.

Couldnt you sell the iPhone 4 to get money for the N4 and if you dont like it sell it?

-xLychee

Edit: I think this is the wrong place to ask.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KentuckyHouse:
I may have missed it, so forgive me if I did. But if I understand you correctly, you still have your iPhone 4 laying around in addition to the iPhone 5 you just upgraded to, right?

If that's the case, and you really want to try the Nexus 4 but need to sell the iPhone to fund the purchase, I'd keep the iPhone 5, sell the iPhone 4 and use the money from the sell of the iPhone 4 towards paying for the Nexus 4. I know you won't get enough to cover the entire purchase, but it will help offset the cost a bit.

Or, you could sell the iPhone 5, keep the iPhone 4 as a backup (in case you weren't in love with the Nexus 4), and not only pay for the Nexus 4, but actually make a profit on it.

If you no longer have the iPhone 4 (if I missed that you sold it or got rid of it), the my apologies and please disregard my advice. :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaronInkjet:
I seriously was thinking of getting iphone5, for camera and music quality. Convinced myself to cough up the bucks for 32GB, $100 for cables, etc. The deal killer was keyboards. Giving up my (highly tuned) Swiftkey would be like giving up my computer mouse. And there is nothing comparable on iphone. Actually having to spell out words again... no way. I guess if someone has never had a mouse, they might not miss one.

I am going to get a Nexus 4. Biggest hesitation is giving up my 32GB SD card, but I can manage. LTE does not matter to me, on wifi 98% of time anyway. Have been planning to switch to Straight Talk regardless, which is AT&T or Tmobile HSPA+.

You might find this interesting -- compares Android to iOS.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallucynogenyc:
To be honest, it sounds to me like you better keep your iphone 5 unless you're prepared to change your mentality. iOS is easier than Android, iOS is meant for the people that just want their phone to do it's job, Android, and especially the nexus line, is made for power users, people that like and want to tweak the phone. If you have no intention to root, you're missing the point of the whole thing IMO. I'm not sure there are too many people around with unrooted nexus phones.

That said, you mentioned that you're bored with iOS. That's a good start :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rest0ck:
Stock JB is still pure awesome. You don't have to root your phone to have a much better OS compared to iOS.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
That is a over simplification of it.

Yes many nexus users are hardcore nerds or fools that think they are . All you had to do over the years was read the general and q&a forums for the nexus devices.

There is also a decent amount of people that simply want a decent quality unlocked phone. No contracts. No carrier bs. Something that the rest of the world is used to but not in the States. Then add in stock android and fast updates.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
I still have the iPhone 4. Will get about half the price for the 16GB Nexus 4. So might not be too difficult to find the funds. I can't keep the iPhone 4 though as it is not unlocked and is on a different network. But thanks for the suggestion

See I thought the idea to get stock android was so you could use Android the way the developer intended? Like I said I didn't like Touch Whizz when I used it, even on the S3 that was my biggest issue when using it. I don't like the HTC one (Can't remember what it is called), but I do like the look of stock.

I've seen a number of people with Rooted devices, but honestly (I know it's down to preference) most of the ones I've seen being used look ugly.

But you're saying that there is no point getting a Nexus device and not root it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
And the video ( well not the video itself ) pisses me off. First it is not even that users video. He just stole somebody's video and put nexus 4 in the title. Do not watch and support that garbage. Find the original source if you're interested.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ATGAdmin:
Over 56% off people that switch OS from the original one they initiated their "smart phone" (Oxymoron for IOS) experience on, ended up going back to their original OS.

Stay with what you know and are comfortable with, or you'll more than likely contribute to that 56% going even higher lol ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
Thanks for all the replies. I think I will probably sell my iPhone 4 and attempt to fund it. Leaving my iPhone 5 as back up. But then thats a damn expensive back up. hmm, maybe need to decide a little more.

But the info provided has been good. Any more news of a couple of the faults that have been reported?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slap-Yourself :):
True story. I had a friend that switched his 4S for his girlfriends GNex. He absolutely loved Android, but his GF hated iOS. They ended up switching back because his girlfriend threatened his life. I think many people can live simultaneously with Android and iOS. I have a few friends with a mixture of them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ste1164:
Can't really tell of faults yet because not many people have the device. You could sell your 4 and buy the nexus. If you don't like it after 15 days return it. Or if you find you prefer it sell the 5. I have the 5 now and plan on keeping both.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallucynogenyc:
See, your bigger concern about the device being rooted is that the ones you saw looked ugly when in fact, being rooted has 0 to do with the phone's look. I'm really not trying to make you look stupid, I understand that most of the people doesn't want nor need to know about any of this. And those are the kind of people that would value iOS over Android. My opinion, if you have the money to do so, give the Nexus a try, but I don't expect you to like it over the iPhone 5.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
Had the iphone 5 for 2-3 weeks, and decided to sell it for N4, SGS3 or something close in price.

Going to save the extra money for black friday.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
I think you should go for the nexus. One reason being that you can probably pocket half of the money that you get from selling your iphone. As for android being reliable, I have owned a galaxy nexus with jellybean on it ever since it was released. I must say it was a completely flawless UI experience. Also, seeing as you owned a note before, you aren't scared to go for the bigger screen. I know some iphone fans are worried the 4.7" screen may be too big. I used to own the iphone 4 and made the switch to android and never looked back. I just love the customization of android. Oh and by the way, I never rooted/flashed custom roms. I felt stock jellybean was so good it would be unnecessary.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lionheart7282:
absolutely not, but is your choice.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
The phone is not released yet until a week from now. Wait until people get it and read their feedbacks.

About your dislike of Touchwiz, you can simply install a different launcher, it won't change everything, but it eliminates a good part of Touchwiz.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys:
Go for the LG and then enjoy the good life on XDA! ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaddan:
Exactly!

But in all truth it is up to you. I'm not a fan of apple, but it's not their devices, just goes deeper than that. iPhone has some pretty cool things, the camera is great and the pixels per inch is higher on the screen. I like bigger screens myself so I opt for android. Ease of customization is why I like android better. iPhone isn't as easy to do that with. If you are happy with the iPhone 5, just stick with it, but I would tell you that the Nexus 4 is going to be an awesome device too.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
I'm selling my iPhone 4 and old 3G that I have lying around. I tried to sell them today actually, but shop was being funny about it (CEX in UK, said I'd have to wait 5 hours for them to test them!?, or leave them with them until another day, yeah like I'm going to leave them with you!?). So am using Orange Recycle.

Anyway, about the phone. I'm not going to grab one of the first batch, going to wait for reviews and stuff, maybe go try one out (if any store has them). If all sounds good I'll pick one up. I really like the look of the device (No external storage is a bit of a bummer though) just some of the things like Thermal Throttling and a 5 hour battery life are putting me off buying on release.

LTE doesn't bother me though, as not many providers currently have it, and for my carrier I'd have to get a new contract to be able to use it.

But thanks to the people who replied here!

Still wondering if 8GB more is really worth £40 though :confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] [hfm]:
A big part of my recommendation to friends is usually knowing them well enough to tell them to stay on iOS or not. Also for people that have bought many apps they need to realize they might need to spend additional funds to re purchase pay apps they like on android. Once you've bought into an ecosystem its tough.

I gave my wife my iPad 2 and got a nexus 7 because I think 10 inch tabs are just too big and I was tired of buying certain apps on my phone and tab. I'm so much happier now with one ecosystem.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
I would suggest you getting the 16GB because for 8GB the really usable space is around 5-6GB. 1 big game is worth around 1GB stoarge space so you'll run out of space very quickly.

Actually I'm gonna advise against getting N4, at least you shouldn't be selling your iPhone5. I have a friend who has everything Apple, Macbook Pro, Air, iPad, and Nano, and she switched to SIII. She complained all day to me how inconvenient it was. Apple products do have better synergy, and using and Android with Macbook is not going to work as wel as iPhone. If you want a phone that is easy to use, that is iPhone. It takes a while to make the switch from iPhone to Android, because Android is not that "easy to pick up". You can use it just fine, but it has a different sort of philosophy behind it. Keep both iPhone5 and Nexus4, and decide which one you want to sell, then sell it.

About custom ROM, most of them retains the original Android look, but add some very convenient functions and utility to it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphasports:
[begin rant]

I recently switched from all-iOS (every gen of iphone plus the first 2 ipads), to Galaxy Nexus, and wonder why I didn't do it a long time ago. Because of my moderate investment in iOS apps, I'll reluctantly keep the ipad for home use, but I will get a Galaxy Tab for office & work. Not sure about N4 since I've only had the Gnex a few weeks and am reallllllly tired of spending $40 on a case for every phone I buy, only to sell the phone, with case, for half what I paid a few months earlier (I find cases are, at best, free inducements for potential buyers).

Anyway, back to the point: Not only am I DELIGHTED to not have to use iTunes just to put a freaking PDF on my phone, but the useability of JB is a revelation! Granted I am the type who loves to tweak, but this is a great OS.

The fact that substantiated rumors are already out today, a mere couple weeks after the latest IP launch, suggesting that Apple is set to release the NEXT effing iPhone (5S) in 6 months is an insult to their customers. Used to be that a product launch represented the "beginning of life" for that product; with Apple it's the end of the process. A complete joke.

In the Android universe there are numerous excellent phones, several flavors of OS, and something Apple works tirelessy to prevent: COMPETITION.

So screw them.

[end rant]
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
I am a MacBook Pro user, and I also have a Galaxy Nexus & a Nexus 7, and I will be buying a Nexus 4 tomorrow.

Regarding Android & Mac, if you are going to use ADB & Fastboot Mac is great, because you don't need to faff about installing any drivers, it just works.

However, the sticking point is transferring files onto the device since Mac doesn't support MTP, you need to download the Android File Transfer program from Google, however, in my experience, it is quite flaky!

When it works, it works, but when it doesn't (and there is normally no reason for it not to), you normally need to reboot your computer and Android device.

Hope this is of some help?
