[Nexus 4 General] ucubz:
well, i dissappointed with nexus 4 pricing, but i wont sign this petition either, doesnt make any sense IMHO.

Honestly I want it but if I can afford that what can I do? angry and make petition? no, I think I'll just leave it, wait until it's price goes down or buy something else. US$200 differences is too high, if it just around US$50 its fine.
[Nexus 4 General] anirudh412:
Alright, first off, I don't understand half of what you say. Secondly, when did I say the price difference is due to tax alone? Couldn't you see the other reasons I cited? There are many more that neither you nor I are aware of.

This is just getting pointless. I am gonna stop replying now. Best of luck 'fighting for the cause'
[Nexus 4 General] catfish7:
I don't see any point of signing a petition over it.

I would figure the actual retail price was at LG recommend retail price but Google Play Store are giving it at "discounted" rate to attract buyers to buy from Play Store which probably means it might have absorb some cost in between, of course they are still a profit - no doubt about it.

LG also might have their stand up point from business unit where the prices determines what phone range it is in.

My country here sold Nexus 7 at USD310 but play store were selling it at USD249. No issue as long as it get sold in your country!
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
At hardware cost? Absolutely not. At development cost? That's my argument. Engineers, designers, and prototypes aren't cheap.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Actually based on Google s business model it is possible the devices are sold at no profit (or very little). It is unlikely, but far from "no doubt". Google makes money from their ecosystem enlarging. Unlike apple where its from high margin. If I remember correctly, nexus 7 was sold at a 7$ margin.
[Nexus 4 General] Mike_23:
my opinion on the matter

I see that most of the guys who are against this petition are from US and to them this thing hardly matter much (they can buy from google store). I sure hope they stop giving their opinion and let people from other countries comment on this, the ones who will get this same device for 200-300$ extra price.

My personal opinion is that I wanted to buy this device but if it is going to be launched at 300$ extra in my country I think it will be stupid to spend so much money on same hardware. will wait till price drops or ask someone from US to buy for me.

hope I am not offending anyone.
[Nexus 4 General] alessa:
I quite agree with you, and I can even tell you that I, who live in Belgium, will make me order from a contact in France. it is not I who start this petition, but an Italian, or just a country, as for me, playstore not exist! This injustice must not remain without result so voila, it is done we can with what we have ;)

I wish BMW didn't have a 35% markup in canada
[Nexus 4 General] alessa:
I understand your frustration, but it makes no sense in this discussion because your problem is only for bmw canada or usa etc. in question or export tax countries (even though I'm convinced that everything beautiful world take huge margins!) because here the concern is not linked to one or two countries, but all countries, and more with a margin of 3/4 of the price and more!
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
You don't get the simplicity of my 3 word post.... things aren't priced the same everywhere. Don't like it don't buy it (a lot less people here can afford BMW)

[Nexus 4 General] rskyline:
I'm from Venezuela that even we can't use US Dollar freely. So no play store either. I'm trying to get the nexus with a couple of friends on the US but is really hard. If they can't help me, simply i can't buy it. That's it. I stay with my GS2 and the life continues. I think that is what everyone have to do. You can't afford the item, you don't buy it. Everyone have to know that Google is selling the device at the price they want. Look at almost the same device price (LG Optimus G) and see what you got. Is hard to believe that an smartphone that is at the One X or GS3 level will cost that low outside the playstore.

[Nexus 4 General] alessa:
if you do not mind if we take you for fool (no insult my leave) while you caress not the grain that is your right, but I find it simply outrageous! LG will enjoy the Nexus brand to make money, you really think google does not margin, but please, you croyer that we live in the land of talking animals or something? combiens costing know the iphone 5 a build? up to 150 €! So google already put it at a price that is more than double, but for LG, its not enough! you remember how much was the htc desire has its output? not more than 400 €! and I said that now we have dual core etc ... before we were in 2010 and now we are in 2013 .....
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
Best way to say it.... Suck it up. I was paying a premium on devices from Asia and Europe, a long time ago, when us carriers were only bringing in crap phones, and the only option was too buy unlocked overseas. SE w800, Nokia 9500, Motorola mpx 300, to name a few.Hell, even my HTC TyTn 2, was from Europe.
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
You can petition as much as you will, but this won't change the business decision made by LG.

They obviously don't want to sink their Optimus G. And they probably see that Nexus project largely as marketing excercise, otherwise they would not agree to produce this phone in the first place. This is why we are seeing such a prominent LG logo on the back.

I think this is why Nexus4 has no LTE (who would buy that OptimusG then?) and if you want a "help" of their distribution channels, then they also do everything they can to sell their OptimusG @599eur instead. Channels are probably saying "we don't work for nothing".
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Who the hell are you to think you have anything to say to those industry giants how much they should sell to turn a profit?

Also, your production costs need source because I know for fact they are flawed and second, a bhsiness doesn't only have production cost to pay.R%D, administration, the huge ****ing buildings, warranty, marketing....... the list goes on and on and on.

Glad you ain't CFO.

I finally made the upgrade to a GS3. I saw tons of these threads and never understood why people posted them, but now that im finally leaving, I understand. Thank you developers and users alike for all the support and awesome work/help I received over the past (almost) two years. I would have smashed the phone long ago if it weren't for you. Xda has provided a great environment and I cant thank them and the developers enough for all they have done. Amazing where the old t bolt has come, from the craziness that was MIUI to the recent ICS triumphs. Great times, filled with tons of drama. I was never one to post much, but I lurked constantly. Thank you everyone, especially the developers, for a great 20 months.

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Solust:
First off you will need to be rooted. Yes the link says RAZR M but it works just fine with the Photon Q. Tests on my phone show that this will not work with the software version 77.8.10.XT897.Sprint.en.US (11/6) release. I have heard of another person being able to use this exploit, though it shouldn't hurt to try this method anyway.

Second thing you will need is a terminal emulator.

This how-to only renames the audio file used for the camera when you take a picture. That means that all you have to do to get the sound back is to replace the code from the last step with the code at the end of this post.

1. Start the terminal emulator. You should see something like

app_94@asanti_c:/ $

The dollar sign tells you that you do not have root permissions.

2. Type in

su

This will give you root permission so you can rename the file for the camera sound. The $ will now change to #.

3. Now you'll type in a confusing mess

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

which will allow you to write files, needed since you are renaming something.

4. Now you need to move into the directory that has the camera sound file.

cd /system/media/audio/ui

5. The only thing left is to rename the audio file.

rename camera_click.ogg camera_click.ogg.bkup

Since this only renames the file you can get the sound back by doing the same steps again except for the final step which will be

rename camera_click.ogg.bkup camera_click.ogg

[HTC EVO 3D] xiton:
Curious what you guys feel the best VOIP method/app is for free calls to other phones is. I don't want to include solutions that require both parties to have the same app installed, so only VOIP that allows you to call phone numbers.

All I personally know about is GrooveIP and Talkatone.

I'd like whatever gives the best overall call quality over 3G, and when on WiFi, hopefully sounding like a perfect call.

I appreciate any input. Thanks all!
[HTC EVO 3D] xiton:
Any input at all, guys? VOIP can be very handy at times, even with unlimited talk. I have a friend in the NY area who cannot get signal due to towers being down, but his wifi a home works fine. He used Talkatone with some success, but I'm wondering what out there is better.
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
I use Google Voice (GV) for most of my VOIP communcations, and even have my home phone linked to GV via an Obihai OBI100 adapter, which costs about $40 one time on Amazon. So far, calls to the US and Canada have been free, but that gets updated by Google on annual basis. I don't think anyone knows for sure yet that those calls will continue to be free in 2013, but here's an Obihai forum thread discussing that and the concensus seems to be that they will. I can't understand why people pay $25-$40 per month for a VOIP service like Vonage when they can get the same thing for a $40 one time cost, but I guess ignorance is bliss. :confused:

On my phone I use Groove IP (paid) when I want to make phone calls over Wi-Fi, mostly with my backup phone which is not currently activated, and it works very well as a front-end to GV. I use Skype too, but unless it's a Skype-to-Skype call I've found the GV connections to be higher audio quality.

Here's a pretty good article on VOIP alternatives for Android devices.

Now, I'm not trying to insult your intelligence, but sometimes the simplest solution is the first to be overlooked. Are you certain that you turned up the volume? Are you rooted?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Laxshanth:
The first time I flashed a from I used NVFlash but after that I used rom manager to boot into recovery when I was on gb now I'm running ics and I just hold down the power button click reboot>recovery and flash rooms from there and it works is this normal? Cuz I heard ur suppose to ALWAYS use nvflash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
So which is it? If you're always doing Power button > Reboot > Recovery you are booting into the NvFlash'd CWM recovery not ROM Manager
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Laxshanth:
Ohh ok thanks makes sense but what about when I use to be on gb I use to use rom manager
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
You can also use ROM manager to boot to recovery, the reason people advise against using the app altogether is because the fake flashing that ROM manager does.

ROM manager will boot into nvflash recovery successfully as long as you never flashed the fake recovery via ROM manager.

So again, if you never flashed via ROM manager, then holding power>reboot recovery = going to ROM manager and booting to recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Laxshanth:
Okayy that's why it works lol thanks alot!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Not that it matters, but I have always flashed both recoveries. It's not that Rom Manager "fake" flashes it, it isn't flashed on a persistent partition that can be reached via button combo. I use Rom Manager and it's "fake" recovery mostly for nandroids. In reality, there's literally 2 separate recoveries, albeit, one is worthless in any "no boot" situation. Other than that, it's fine to flash roms and what not, just always have both, never just R M.

mustangtim49@Xda-developers.com
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Laxshanth:
Before I'm pretty sure I downloaded a rom and it didn't have rom manager so I downloaded it from the play store and went into recovery through that and flashed a rom? Or is that normal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
That's fine, what we're all trying to explain is that if you mess up and your phone won't boot normally, you won't be able to recover it with the Rom Manager recovery since it is only accessible through a working a ROM. This is why we Nvflash it on a persistent partition that can be accessed regardless if you have a working rom or not. There's no difference between the two recoveries, only where they are flashed.

You might try going to the Google voice site. Login and go to your phone listing in the settings. I am next to your mobile should be a link for deactivating voice mail. I'd click that, ignore what it says next and click okay, then click activate again and punch in the code it gives you to setup forwarding again. It sounds like that might have gotten lost some how.

If it doesn't say deactivate then just do the activate process again. I haven't always had the best luck with the app setting the settings correctly so this might help.
