[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
This iPhone 5S story is getting me very annoyed! I have just shelled out £530 for a phone that could well be upgraded in a few months! Then again I guess that is what having an Android is like? New phones every 2 months!

Will probably pick the Nexus 4 up tomorrow, since the price is good. And if I like get rid of the iPhone.

I'm not a fan boy of Apple, but I do like the eco-system of how everything works together, it's easy to use. But since Steve Jobs passed. I've not been a fan. I got the iPhone 5 out of hope, that maybe it'll all be okay. And don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic phone. But a 5S so soon, especially with the iPad 3 to 4 after a short amount of time.

I have looked at the Note 2 and S3. But how can they be so expensive? Probably the biggest thing drawing me to the Nexus 4. Great price!

I don't want to get this into a Google/Android vs Apple/iOS thread. Some of the responses here have been great, very helpful. No fan-boy posts :good:

Always good to hear more opinions as people start to get the phone as well!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lnfound:
The note 2 and s3 are the same price as iPhone 5 and hardware wise offer more. How can you blame them on price?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercakefish:
Not at all. Hahaha to say so is laughable.

There are many reasons that someone might want a Nexus. The bargain pricing Google has got going on. Updates on time and not delayed by OEMs/networks. Or maybe they just prefer plain ol' Android UI.

I'm not rooting and voiding warranty when the phone already does all I need it to.

If adb works I would just adb push and pull all of my files lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuMcBill:
You may have a point there! I never thought about that! Ha Ha!!

I have used AirDroid on occasion!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
I went from the first 2 generations of iPhone's to the Nexus One. Since then I've stuck with Android (Galaxy SII, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy SIII) until the iPhone 5 came out. At which point I decided to give the iPhone a try again. I picked up the iPhone 5 and lasted all of 2 weeks with it. I was very happy with the iPhone 5's hardware but truly felt that IOS was just way to limited. So I returned it for a full refund, dug my Galaxy Nexus out of a drawer and have been amazed at how much I missed Android for those 2 weeks I was without it.

I will be purchasing the Nexus 4 tomorrow and giving my GF the Galaxy Nexus since she is in need of a new phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
The biggest downside is no iTunes. Android simply has no easy way to manage your music files. There is DoubleTwist but that is garbage, when your library gets too big (and by "too big" I mean a few hundred mp3's) it becomes unresponsive and unusable. You have to manually upload everything, for some reason people like that, I think its a terrible alternative to iTunes creating directories and putting things in the right place automatically. Google Music is a nice idea flawed by really bad software needed to use it, if they opened up the cloud storage to other apps then it might be good. My music experience on my old iPod touch was vastly superior.

Google's file transfer app is a spit in the face to every mac user who buys their product. Luckily AirDroid makes it pointless since its so much better than traditional mounting.

Youll lose all the nice new features of OSX syncing with iOS. There are 3rd party apps of course, but they wont be as polished as Apple's. You wont get SMS syncing, which is ridiculous because Google has a desktop chat system and mobile SMS system, any normal person would assume having them work together would be a killer feature but not Google. I have to forward my Google Voice texts to an email so Im alerted to when I get texts, such a joke compared to Apple's iChat syncing (I think even MS is doing this with Windows 8 now).

Since I have a MBP I would prefer an iPhone 5, having iTunes again and being able to reply to SMS from a chat app would be great but dont think its worth the hundreds of dollars extra. If you already have one then I'd keep that, plus youll never miss out on an app, Android has most of the iOS apps but not all of them, there are a lot of premium app's that I wished I could get on Android that were only for iOS.

As for speed, the iPhone 5 may be running worse hardware but thanks to the highly optimized software it crushes every other Android phone in performance. Its like Windows vs a console, a console needs way less power to run games than Windows does because the software is so highly optimized for its hardware due to there only being one kind of hardware to develop for.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
I probably came out with it wrong. I know the iPhone is the same price as the two mentioned, and I also don't understand why it is so expensive.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparx639:
I've used both and I have the gnex right now. When I first started with android (galaxy S) I hated the ui lag, with jellybean its gone. I have never had any app crashes on my nexus, I've actually had some on iOS. The Google integration is also great since I use their services. Now with iPhone, you will end up having a better environment due to the whole Mac thing (I'm Linux), the build quality for both the nexus and the iPhone are amazing and the internal hardware will almost guarantee that you will not have too many app crashes or anything like that. Its up to you though, I switched to android because of the OS's growth and change rate. You seem like you want to enjoy it to so I personally think you should try the nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
Sold my iPhone 3 and 4 now. But since there is no stock and YouTube tech reviewers haven't put out any content for it I have just brought a Nexus 7 32GB tablet :)

Will give me a chance to get used to Android and then I'll order the Nexus 4 once it's in stock and I have seen some reviews from the YouTuber's I follow.

I'm thinking I may pick it up regardless, unless the Nexus 7 gives me what I'm looking for, which it might. But since selling my Note I do miss a bunch of stuff I can't get on iOS.

But yeah, thanks again guys, some helpful info. Plus getting a Nexus 7 means I can enjoy the XDA good life!

Also I have Windows 7 installed on bootcamp, will just use that if syncing with Mac is an issue.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barso1:
I sold my ip5 and am waiting for nexus 4 for one reason, MAPS. People told me that apple will improve it but how will they evr manage to collect the data that google have been collecting for years in such a short space of time? They won't and their arrogance will not allow them to put google maps back on the phone.

I need them and apple took that away and replaced it with something much worse. I am currently using a galaxy S3 on loan and wished I had moved over to android much sooner.

ios is stale and too boring but if they give it a total overhaul and accept google maps then I may be tempted back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennistay:
I think N4 is better off than iPhone
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowrider262:
+1. I actually went back to stock from cm. 4.2 has everything I need right out of the box. although I'm sure I'll unlock & start flashing again once development for this device matures a little bit:o
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
OP if you're happy with your iphone 5 then you should keep it. We can't have every phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] bigdaddy92:
First I downloaded the tubex app from google and it installed like a charm.But when I wanted to install another app I was unable to install that the app installer didnt allow me to click up the install button.But the cancel button ws working up.so I formatted up phone with full data wipe then all non market apps were easily installing.But now again the same problem arrived.please provide me with any solution. (On stock galaxy note 2 rom for India)
[Galaxy Note II General] mg35pt:
Did you check the option to allow installing non market apps on the options/security settings?
[Galaxy Note II General] bigdaddy92:
Yup definately
[Galaxy Note II General] Markuzy:
You sure you didn't install malware instead?

[Galaxy Note II General] emprize:
did u use juice defender or some app like that which could block third party apk?
[Galaxy Note II General] Lucidmike:
This makes the most sense to me. I think the apk is the problem, not the phone. It could also be that the apk is specifically compiled for an incompatible device.
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
You're not using SCREEN FILTER when trying to install non-market, are you?

Don't ask me why....
[Galaxy Note II General] bigdaddy92:
I was using the screen filter app.To my surprise you are right.when I uninstalled the screen filter I was able to install app and it worked thanks a lot:thumbup:
[Galaxy Note II General] DanDroidian:
Haha, yeah, I had the same trouble many months ago! I was baffled! I knew I was doing everything right, but nothing would work!

Also, just so you know, you don't need to uninstall it, you just can't have it activated when you try to install apps. I guess you just can't install apps while it's dimming your screen, but I still can't understand why.

Glad that worked for you! !
[Galaxy Note II General] bigdaddy92:
Thnx....qnd discovered one more thing.i had installed a 3 rd party cracked app and it also crashed till I had that screen filter installed but now it works like a charm
[Galaxy Note II General] Abu3792:
Thanks man ...You helped me a lot , had the same problem was scared like ****
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] twomix9900:
Since this phone is capable of 42MBPS, it has dual radios right? Will that mean better in-building reception and reception all around compared to 21-MBPS only phones, such as galaxy nexus?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonjuraimi:
Hello guys, just want to know who got Jelly Bean pre-installed or update? Can you share your first impressions and experiences with Jelly Bean? :D:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
If you are talking about your GT-N7005 (which I believe is the Galaxy Note), then it is better to post in that device's forum.

Otherwise, all the Nexus users and other phones' user with JB will be posting here with different features and opinions
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonjuraimi:
Well it doesnt matter which device. I just want to know about its outlook, speed and experience :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grease2000:
is this even out yet??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bunnybugs_007:
As far as I know, samsung only released the OTA JB for the S3... seems to work pretty ok. But haven't experienced it myself.... you might wanna take a look in the official forum.

Yes it should have been rolled out. .
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] =JKT=:
I have a Rogers htc one x that is ICJ bricked, and a line on a working, rooted Rogers one x that just has a shattered digitizer for $135. I'm planning on swapping the motherboard. I'm not worried about the physical swap, I've already disassembled the phone and I'm totally comfortable with that.

my only question is if there will be issues with hardware that I'm unaware of. my impression is that the motherboard has all the components with IDs on it like imei etc. and all the other components are totally swappable. so in essence, putting this other motherboard into my phone is more like transferring all my parts around his phone.

like saying "a brain transplant will never be possible, but perhaps a full body transplant one day."

but I digress...

is there anything I'm not considering?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
Your imei is stored in mmcblk0p4 you can just dd it and hex edit your imei and cid into it and then dd it back
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] =JKT=:
Thanks :) I'm still committed to unbricking my current motherboard, but im just going to work on it in the other phone's body ;) just getting sick of not having a nice phone lol
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
Do it. If you need help just text me. You still got my number ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] =JKT=:
Thanks man! You meet and exceed the requirements of being awesome in my books.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] shane0569:
Did it work?

Hey, how did this turn out for you? I'm in the same predicament.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] =JKT=:
It turned out quite well! I needed to unlock the Frankensteined phone, note that the imei needs to match the motherboard. Also, I needed to have a stock based (i.e. sense based) Rom installed for the unlock to work.

Other than that, the phone isn't too tough to disassemble (find a video, if you need help, let me know), although when I pulled one of the phones apart, it pulled the button portion of the power button off. I needed to swap the power button assembly with the other phone.

So as it stands, I have a perfect condition one xl, and one bricked xl with a shattered digitizer ($25 part) and no power button ($15 part). Still trying to figure out what to do with it...right now I'm just waiting to see if it can be unbricked. If so, I can fix it and sell it, or just let my wife have it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] area51avenger:
I was under the impression that grim could unbrick icj phones that aren't 2.20
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] =JKT=:
Grim and I did a few sessions with the phone, and it looks like it's 2.20. =(
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Impressive. I applaud you for fixing this yourself and not playing dumb to get a free replacement. :cool:

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] theprogram1:
So I got a replacement for the Blaze I messed up. $20 charge because I didn't have insurance. But this time I am tweaking the Stock ics rom, Nothing as good as TFQ's but a first try. So I wanted to ask the devs or anyone on how to change the start up image, not the boot animation but the image. If it's possible with different roms or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
I know little of the specifics, but I'm pretty sure that resides in the kernel. I'll let those more knowledgeable chime in on how to tinker w/ such things.

a couple days ago, a new 4.0.4 rom was found, and upon looking at the instructions, it says to flash the RAR file with lg flash tool. does anyone have a link for me to use? because the one i found keeps asking for an id and password, or it cannot open.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiidesire:
Hey guys,

my question is pretty simple and in the headline. Is there any rom for N8010 with Jelly Bean and the Samsung Apps?

I only found a rom for N8010 which is AOKP and doesn't include Samsung Stock apps.

Also the Rom Leak seems to be only for N8000.

Thanks for any help

Regards,

Wii
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaydubbbbs:
Might be best off waiting for the official Jelly Bean update. Hopefully it's not far off, and we get all the Note 2 features. There is a leaked OTA I believe, not sure how stable it is, and it might be for the N8000. But I think that some people got it up and running on the wifi version.

I'm staying stock unrooted till the official update at least.

Patience
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anaura:
Hopefully the rumours are true and pretty soon all regions will get the OTA...

Samsung released Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean XXBLK9 OTA update for the WiFi Galaxy Note 10.1 N8010

Shame it's not 4.2 but I'm not going to complain.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smgrajeda:
So I have been trying to flash another ROM into my bionic which is on .246. I go into safestrap and activate another rom slot, I wipe the system, davlik, cache, then got into install and I choose a rom (I have tried eclipse, and Icarus) it then says install failure, and zip could not be opened. What I am I failing to do correctly? I have tried Safestrap 3.4 and I still get the same error. I have tried placing the zip on internal and external memory.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travisdroidx2:
What is the error it is giving you?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smgrajeda:
It just says, it cannot open the zip file, nothing else.

I see myself possibly having same problem. When i download zip do i put it on int or external sd? When im creating slot do i use int or ext memory. Noob if u cant tell.

I know I'm resurrecting an old thread, but I had this problem yesterday and never did find a solution. Here's what worked for me: I removed safestrap 3.5 and went to 3.11. ROM install worked perfectly the first time on 3.11.

Can confirm.. just installed cm10.1 via safestrap 3.11 a day or two ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elebego:
Hi May I request an app like keypad s? It is a search app which index bookmarks, apps, people etc.

My problem is that the developer of app doesn't update the app even though it is an paid app which I bought

The worse is that the app isn't in play store.it is in app purchase
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GuestK007:
you mean you want someone here to write an app for you? lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Ya know, if we were allowed to request apps to be made.... Everyone would be requesting all kinds of apps.

PLUS! This is a SAMSUNG GALAXY NEXUS general thread.

Not the "Request app here" thread.

Just build the app yourself and learn something new.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elebego:
Okay gentlemen, what I want is an app LIKE (underlined) keypad s.that means an app in the play store that does the same job

[Motorola Atrix 2] brianmoyano:
Hi, recently, i installed a ME865 firmware into my MB865, and then, i installed the ME865 MIUI.

But, everything that i try to do, give me a force close.

For example, i try to delete a message, and 'Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped.'

Or, try to search my music, and again, fc.

Is there a solution? Or at least, the MB865 MIUI works ok?
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Did you wipe data/factory reset and wipe dalvik cache before installing MIUI? If not, that might be your problem.. but, not sure if your MB to ME firmware change had anything to do with it.
[Motorola Atrix 2] devilhunter47:
Change the language from english to any other turn of screen then back on..then change it back to english
[Motorola Atrix 2] brianmoyano:
Yes, i did the wipes before and after installing MIUI.

Ok. I'll try this. Thx.

This is super frustrating...people are sending me pictures, but all I see in the text thread is "Downloading". I've got full strength signal, and sometimes I'm also connected to WiFi.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Are you talking about MMS?

When I was on JB,I had to manually install my APN settings for MMS.

Google your MMs settings,and enter them manually.

:)
[HTC Sensation] L8 APEKS:
Could you give me a hand if you've got a minute? I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for, or how to access those settings in the menu tree? Thanks a million!
[HTC Sensation] L8 APEKS:
EDIT:

I found the APN setting in the menu...I made a few changes, hopefully that will do the trick!

EDIT:

Nope. Still messed up. Could someone share their APN settings in here?
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

I am not currently on JB.

Go to settings/mobile data/ and I think APN settings.

Have a look.

First you need to google your MMS settings.

You want your carrier and area.

When you get to your APN list,press the second button from the left on your phone,and select a "NEW" APN.

Enter the new configuration,save,and reboot.

:)
[HTC Sensation] Infection3d:
Let us know if it works.

I'm on paranoid android (i.e. JB)

i can receive mms pictures by doing these things (I use stock aosp messaging app)

turn off wifi

turn on network data

ensure mms apn is correct

turn off auto retrieve in mms settings

when i receive an mms, i have to manually download the pic. not only the stock mms app won't download the pic automatically, if i turn on auto retrieve, i dont receive mms at all. however go sms can download pic automatically.

can I unshow it from device setting :confused:

thanks in advance :good:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
You don't want lockscreen unread notifications? Jeez man! That's the only thing keeping me with stock lockscreen.

Anyway, you can't do anything I am afraid. Obviously you can change to third party apps like Widget Locker or other, but I won't recommend any!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pakure:
It is basically a shortcut ..swiping on it will take you directly into messages or missed call history ...I agree..it is a bit large and ugly icon:D
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SadHeroXIII:
I lovee this lock :) but the problem is just with this icons

about all lockscreen app, all of them unuseful !

in fact, I use to locks, this one and pattern, and I don't think it's a good idea to get directly to see your notification or access the camera or any app, it could be waste of private or jost lost your work or anything,

but like what i say, I use pattern lock, so what is the advantages of this while it's unusefull in that case ?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da9th_one:
to remove it,

go to settings > lock screen > lock screen options > shortcuts

...

if you disable shortcuts then it should remove that and all shortcuts on the lock screen...also you can opt to place other shortcuts there, as well
