[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoff5093:
Personally I think it's stupid to cancel your contract, sell your phone, and then buy a new phone on a pre-paid plan like Straight Talk in an attempt to save money. For one, the ETF is going to kill you (I have a $225 ETF on Verizon and only 4 months left), then you have the hit on selling your phone and buying a new N4. It will take months to make up the fees you were charged by leaving Verizon early, mean time you will be paying that off while having slower speeds, worse customer service, and no store that you can walk into if you're having an issue and get a replacement phone right then and there.

I want a N4 as well, but I think I'll get one and then just pop in a T-Mobile or Straight Talk SIM when I feel like trying out T-Mobile or AT&T, the rest of the time I can just tether.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark930:
I honestly don't care a whole lot about the up front costs of the etf and the $350 for the nexus cause in sure i can get at least $300for my s3 im more interested in the long term and even if i can't sell my s3 I'll still save about $500 after 2years. I also don't care to much about lte considering i don't have unlimited data it doesn't matter how fast it is. I just don't want to regret switching and getting screwed over by losing my number or something like that
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ralexand:
As much as I expected to get an LTE/Verizon phone, with the super low off-contract price of the Nexus 4, combined with T-Mobile's monthly4g plans, I will be saving $70/month (almost $1000 per year). I can give up LTE for that kind of extra cash in my pocket.

As a few have said, being in the UK and not in one of the initial cities, LTE is pointless for me. By the time 4G is available in the town I live and work, I will be looking to upgrade phone again anyway (end of 2013)

Even if you have 4G available, it does drain battery quite fast and HSDPA is pretty fast anyway so really it comes down to usage. If you want to stream a lot of video or send a lot of pictures/video then consider 4G but otherwise, maybe save the money and get the Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctowne:
I have the same GS3 and I am definitely upgrading to the Nexus 4. One reason being that I hate the physical home button. It is very slow to react vs. the software button on the Gnex + N4. Another reason is that I have no lte ANYWHERE close to where I live so I will get the same data speeds no matter what. I also hate the plastic back on the S3, so cheap.

Sold my GS3 on AT&T to go to the Nexus 4.

I think it is worth it - especially because I don't download huge files, I just wanna stream pandora.

2-3 mbps is even good enough for me to listen to that.

But I can't on AT&T because I only have 3gb/month. Stupid.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungAceAtlanta:
Not worth it in my eyes .. not saying the Nexus isn't a great device ..

I'm just not going to trade in my GS3 or NoteII for a non-removable battery , no SD slot, no LTE (even tho its not a deal breaker for me ) not enough storage place , even tho I think 16gb is enough but I have 3 games installed on my Nexus 7 and its already full almost with no movies or music

I say just buy it full price and add it to your collection

I'll be buying it for sure. Just not going to trade in anything since its so cheap
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickel Dime Bay:
Sold my One X on ATT with unlimited data to get the N4, LTE is awesome here but you cant go wrong with pure Google.

For me it's about performance and the nexus4 blows the GS3 out of the water on the GLBench 2.5.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mastarifla:
I had an AT&T GS3 and I switched for the following reasons...

1) Better GPU/CPU

2) Pure Android with constant updates

3) Better screen

4) Better battery life (no LTE)

5) Better development community

6) Google Wallet

I live in Dallas where we have relatively fast LTE, I don't stream music or watch a ton of videos, and I was on wi-fi to conserve battery most of the time, so to me the increased bandwidth wasn't needed, the only real life benefits I saw to the speed were slightly faster downloads, and I'm a fairly patient person. When I only had HSPA+ speeds it was perfect for my needs, it still sure as hell beats Sprints 3g that I was on (think kbps :P).

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergani:
Hello,

Recently I've been facing SOD on my Tab, and I read somewhere here on xda, that it's sometimes a modem problem.

So I was thinking of changing the modem/baseband firmware only.

Is that possible and how?

I know officially there is only ICS for the Tab, and I'm currently running PA v2.50; JB.

Thanks all!

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cimba007:
Well, i dont know which version of the tab you have (p6810 ? p6800 ?)

There is a thread discussiong wifi-dropping problems including possible solutions to flash another roms baseband if I understand it right. You might thus have a look at this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1754937
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergani:
Sorry forgot to mention it's a P6800. Well, I'm not having issues with my WiFi dropping, I'm having sleep of deaths. Meaning the Tab would sleep and pushing the power button will not wake it up, I have to hold the power button for 10 seconds to force a reboot.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Kernel issue ?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergani:
Well, maybe... I don't know :)

Any help? Problem is that I'm facing the same problem since stock ICS, and already tried a few custom ROMs, ending up with JellyBean now.

One thing to note is that I could limit down the rate of SOD's when I turn auto-brightness off before getting the device to sleep.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Maybe try a custom kernel and governor (Pegasus) or stock kernel and with app such as Voltage Control to change governor.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergani:
Hello,

I really appreciate the time you're taking to help with my problem - can you help though with more details?

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergani:
Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
Your problem can have a multitude of causes.

However to answer your initial question :

You can fash whatever baseband you like using PC or Mobile odin.

Just download and flash an apropriate modem.bin for your P6800

I would start by fladhing stock HC rom and then see if the problem persists on HC.

Oh and while you are rooted (i suppose), download the emmc brick bug test app from playstore to check your internal memory.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daniel_hk:
FYR. the baseband is the modem.bin inside the stock rom.

It can be replaced to your p6800 via Odin or Mobile Odin. I have extracted a few modem from different stock roms. P6800XXLA1, P6800XXPLA3, P6800XXPLW and P6800DXLP7. send me your e-mail if you want them.

For the Paranoid rom, I'm using my own build of v2.55, wifi and gps(I got 9 sat.) works fine for my p6800.

I think Androguide's 2.55 will come soon and solve you problem.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sergani:
Thanks all for your input .. I've flashed another modem.bin and haven't faced SOD's.

Note however that I turn Auto brightness and WiFi off every time I let the Tab go to sleep.

I'll wait for PA 2.55 and see how things go.

[Motorola Atrix HD] IP IHI II IL:
Are you using any smart actions that affect your data connection? I had the same problem before I realized that the phone automatically turned off data when connected to WiFi. I had set up a smart action to do it as well, which I think confused the device and wouldn't connect to 4G. I had to factory reset to fix it. Left smart actions out of the loop, and haven't had a problem since.

Deep rooted in the mAtrix HD...

[Motorola Atrix HD] miguellopez12:
Yea i tried the airplane mode and nothing. I had smart actions on but then i turned them off and still have yhe problems. I think im just going to factory reset and see if it fixes the problem.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlvaldez:
My Evo likes to randomly lock up on me. The screen goes blank, and the phone is locked. The only thing i can do is pull the battery and power back up, which sometimes is right away, others i have to leave the battery out for a while.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnum_Enforcer:
I would try a different ROM/kernel combo and see if that helps fix the issue. Or you could just try a different kernel with MikG. Some setups don't always play nice together, and what works on one phone may not work with another.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
@FinZ28 - Sent from the EVO LTE, oooOOOOooo...shiny...

Anyway, on to the list of questions, some of which I have had issues with:

- Are you still using the original 8gb SD card that came with the phone?

- If not, what class/size is your card? (I have a 32gb, class 10, and it freezes/boot loops my phone all the time...did it 15mins ago)

- Are you downloading anything? (It takes the phone a long time to write large files. Many times, you can use the phone normally while it writes/downloads, but as soon as you turn off the phone, it won't turn on again until the file is finished downloading.)

- What are you doing with the phone (games, music, text, etc.)?

- How old is the phone?

- When was the last time you dropped it? (I know you did...We all have)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlvaldez:
No i am not using original card, i have a 32 gb class 10.

The phone is 2 years old, and i have dropped it once, been a while since i did that. It doesnt happen when i am doing

just one thing, happens when i am texting, on the web browser, gaming, watching vids. The screen goes black and is

unresponsive, but the buttons at the bottom are lit, only thing i can do is pull the battery, or if i am near a computer i can

use adb to reboot. Ive tried every kernel i can find but doesnt seem to help.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
Yes, I have dealt with that problem also. My best advice, use a task killer. Might not be great advice, but that's the most that I can suggest, because it helped me out a lot. Luckily, I don't have to deal with those problems anymore (see my signature :))

well i live abroad the google play store launch countries and i did research if i can get it for a shop online for a sensible price ,to my dissapointment i found some redicilus sky high prices from uk online shops, for example the nexus 10 16gb was set at the price of 382gbp including vat, excluding shipping fees ,while i dont mind to pay a little more than 319gbp i found their pricing unreasonable i mean they are wholesale suppliers and can get it for a lot cheaper than 319 why so much profit?

i wish i had someone to uk to order it from my behalf but as it does seem i must wait for a long time...
[Nexus 10 General] Scared27:
382.00 GBP	=	611.123 USD. You're right, that's quite a big hike.

Here in Australia there is a $70 premium on the unit itself plus shipping, so in the end it will probably cost me $100 MORE to order the tablet directly from Google (and the AUD is still above the USB). I really really hate regional pricing, it's unfortunate that Google has become one of the companies to do it. Hopefully they get questioned about it (The government is currently investigating the "Australia tax" that we get for hardware and software).

you are welcome. the general rule is to try to 1) avoid charging to 100%, really diminishing return the higher it goes; and 2) avoid deep discharge cycle. I usually use 40% of the capacity at work everyday, so charge to ~70% in the morning, use down to ~30% and then charge again. charging time in this range is rather linear, about 1 percent a minute
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dpk1:
Yeah, it happened to mine too few days back. My Note2 went crazy, taking around 7-8 hrs to fully charge from 15%. So, i tried searching about the problem on google but to no avail. Did a factory reset with cache wipe and problem solved :good:. Now it takes about 2.5 hrs to fully charge from say 10% (using the samsung wall charger with phone switched on). I can only say that the slow charging was caused due to some software but don't know exactly which one? You may as well try the hard reset if anything else doesn't work out :D.

Yeah, thanks. But if you've Watchdog installed then you can see which app is going over threshold and keep running on background. And yes, this time, again, the culprit was PowerAMP!

But I didn't believe and asked a techy friend and he said it might be some app, and damn right he was.

Anyway, if anyone having the same issue like mine, that is, charging duration has increased with Stock charger, then install Watchdog (the lite version will do) and see who is the culprit.

I have no idea how a top app like PowerAMP could cause this! Jeez!
