Definite bump in battery life with 4.3

SOT of over 5 hours with 13% battery to boot. :cool: Safe to say I could have pulled out another 25-30 mins atleast with that much.

Very heavy usage either side of slumber, including over 2 hours of youtube streaming, medium gaming (Blastron & Riptide GP2), 20 odd minutes of talktime, and lots of whatsapping, all while being hooked to wifi all night (including when i was sleeping.)

Sorry for being obnoxious and not downsizing the pics. Apologies. Forgot to mention this return is from stock rom/kernel. (rooted/TWRP)

Also, I always keep screen brightness on auto. What do most people here do? Does keeping it low manually save more battery? Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] mor_1228:
i have tested many times and keeping it low saves battery but that depends how low u keep i keep 25% or dim inside my office or home.

if auto brightness is off then ur sensor also doesnt work which inturn dont use battery.

I know about using various apps like skype, hangout etc for making video calls.

But what got my attention is following lines on BSNL Video Calls FAQ

See the attachment for details
[Nexus 4 General] rajat_red:
Yeah, I thought as much. I'll try doing that tonight and report if the difference is tangible enough.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
It's not skype or hangouts. There is a separate 3G protocol in which you can do a video call from dialer by dialing number just like voice calls.

This feature is implemented usually on Samsung phones. Stock Android does not implement it.

Personally I feel hangouts is better as I can chat with more than 1 person.
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
It's there on Touchwiz UI and on Micromax phones

Guys just a general question as alot of you are total geeks here..can a computer not switch on due to low voltage? As in the monitor speaker may switch on but not the pc itself?

Sent from my Nexus Lightsaber
[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
It will.. but if the voltage requirements increase.. it will shut down his damaging your hardware..
[Nexus 4 General] saintsinner25:
Well right now the situation is that i'm getting really low voltage at my house.i mean my fan is slow as hell and my computer isnt switching on and my speakers have this weird zzzz noise coming out of them.although this did happen once in the last house i was living that the voltage got really low and my computer wouldnt switch on..well let's hope it comes back.was about to see rocky 2 right now -_- so much for such high rent.

Guys I am running out of memory. Looks like so much un wanted files are in my phone. So I decided to completely wipe the data. Like formating the internal memory. So my doubt is after doing wipe with TWRP, how can I copy my ROM file to phone again ?

I know it has to be done with adb. But I am not good with that. It will be great some one post that commands too :(
[Nexus 4 General] skarma103:
Why don't you just use a toolkit and reflash back to clean stock , youl have a new base to start over , clean and simple :)
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Stock doesn't have it because there are lots of services which allow video calling for free and work a lot better. You can call anyone with a phone, computer or smart tv and on wifi as well as 3G.

It's just too much work to implement something which won't be used by that many people.

Battery on 4.3

After 5 days of running stock 4.3, my results

Overall user experience is very smooth compared to 4.2.2. Battery drain when phone idle has dropped very significantly(I mean 1 percent drop for around 20 mins!)

No issues with wifi, everything works like charm.

Battery life has improved quite a lot. 17 hrs on battery with 8 percent remaining. 2 n half hour of both SOT and voice calls. Mild browsing and an hour or so of whatsapp. Few minutes of a mid graphics game (auralux). Pics below

3g video call rates are pretty cheap. If you do make frequent video calls on Skype or hangouts on 3g then it would cost you a lot. Compared to the price of 0.7 rupee for a minute to the cost of making calls on Skype using 3g data former is way cheap. And it works really well when compared to skype(which has lots of latency issues)

But if you have free wifi/Internet then hangouts is the best thing out there

Guys help. I got an update notification for 4.3 but didn't update it as it said battery is low so i charged it now and hit update it had a button Restart and Update, so I clicked it, it rebooted and the android was showing with a bar with blue line, It went till half and then It showed a error message with android and a red triangle. I am totally stock with no root and locked bootloader,with stock rom-kernel-recovery.

Note : I had rooted my phone installed twrp, but for OTA udpate when I restored my stock recovery through twrp and rebooted at that time it gave a error message with android and exclamation mark at that time then I rebooted and all was fine.. Please help.

Is Helium the best (for non-rooted devices)

Hello guys, read on Google Nexus 4 facebook page (unofficial), it is good to do a factory reset after you get a update. So thinking of doing it.

Before that I want to back up all apps and THERE DATA. I'm on stock and not rooted the phone. Is Helium best app for doing so? Or is there any app better than this :confused:

I want the OTA directly don't want to flash the image.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Oh! If you are desperate to get it then Clear data of Google services framework and then try for checking for update. You will get it in 2-3 attempts. I did this on Saturday and got the update.

PLEASE NOTE: Your google account needs to be connected to all the apps (gmail, play store, Google+ and all the apps that use the Google account) again. Search before you try this!

i have a doubt regarding the recovery as it gave methe error message when I restored it. How do I check that its in good state(the recovery)

i pressed volume down and power button it took me to the screen Start, what to do next?

tapping on start did not do anything.
[Nexus 4 General] rak21:
The screen start you are talking about is the fastboot screen with a pic of android, if so then Press the volume buttons till the option changes to 'enter recovery' or something similar. Then you will enter recovery mode. Hope this helped
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
You would have for sure messed up with some lib files while flashing the stock recovery. You would have to do a clean restore of jdq39 to get the OTA. Flash JSS15J stock if you want best of battery and performance. The JW build that you would get through OTA is lesser battery friendly as of when compared to JS. Just a friendly advice based on my research of using both the builds since the past week. OTA's are not always considered flawless if you want fluid performance as they are subject to lot of factors like network loss,file corruption etc.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
I had backed up the stock recovery using flashify and just restored it so i dont think I messed it up.. I have got he notification will update through my friends mob wifi as I am in office and report you on the same..

Native 3g call support doesnt exist for nexus 4. :(
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Just download stock 4.3 Nexus 4 images and flash bootloader, radio, system, recovery and boot images from it. Don't flash userdata.

This should get your phone up and running.

Looks around XDA, there are stickies in general section on how to flash. AFAIK stock images don't need unlocked bootloader to flash.

Unlock is only required to flash third party software.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
total bummer..

Please tell me a easier way. Should I root ? I know how to root through framaroot had done before(never used toolkits n all)

shall I flash JSS15J after rooting and then again unroot using supersu?

and I had downloaded the update successfully where it can be found on system so that I can flash that.?
[Nexus 4 General] ayusharad:
Just make sure you locked your bootloader again, just connect your device in fastboot mode and in android SDK open cmd and type "fastboot oem lock"

Hope it will resolve your problem
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Most likely the update will be found in /cache partition. However since you aren't rooted you might not be able to pull it.

Flashing stock images is very easy. It's just 3-4 commands in terminal.There are very simple guides here to guide you through the whole process.

I never used framaroot, so have no idea how it works. But to flash a custom ROM you need unlocked bootloader not root and unlocking bootloader wipes all data.

---------- Post added at 06:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:57 PM ----------

FYI : OTA updates never check for bootloader status. It only checks for stock radio, bootloader ver , stock rom, stock recovery. That's it.
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
I got my OTA with unlocked bootloader...even after the update it retained its unlocked state...I guess someone must have misled u...bootloader status is nowhere related to OTA availability...

Don't even think of using BSNL, pathetic is not even to describe the ****ty service you get on BSNL. For BSNL if the internet connects that itself is a huge thing. Half the time the connection drops and the maximum my internet was connected was 10mins. The customer agents never even pic up the call and if in a blue moon they do, they don't know half the things they speak. They told my to change the APNs. Which is unbelievably stupid.

I was really frustrated with BSNL and switched to IDEA. The experience is awesome. The speeds I get on HSPA+ are really good and the connection never ever disconnects. BSNL doesn't even have H+. Take my advice, bro, take an idea connection using MNP and you'll never regret it:)

Well I own a pair of tekfusion earphones which I bought about a year ago for 1100rs approx

I totally agree with the though saying the company is a scam is a bit far-fetched.

The problem is the headphones stop working in 30-40 days period.

you can bypass the wipe process.

1] unlock the boot loader.

2] DON'T REBOOT THE PHONE.

Hi folks anyone know where in Mumbai I can get the broken back glass replaced, mine cracked recently. Alpha 2 says he will have to import it and it costs 1950,fitting could be another 400. LG Goregaon service center does not have stock but glass back with all antennas would cost 3k inclusive of fitting.

My nexus is an import and devoid of warranty which would in any case not apply to my situation so I am fine with spending to get it fixed though I need some tips on how much it would cost and where it can be done.

Have others with broken back glass had any issues post replacement?
