Its battery is **** more than anything else... Slowing down too... So yea I'll probably just flash the stock factory image. Not to mention its the first N4 batch released... Almost 2 years old now... And its always been running stock...

Yea I agree the new dialer is a lot more polished.

[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
Yeah flashing rom again should do. Battery time of n4 not the best, but still gives me 4+ SOT, which is fine for me. Tho i m on custom kernel now.
[Nexus 4 General] razi914:
Hi

My n4 is running great with the new radio and 4.4.3 , the radio really improved the battery i think,,

P.s im also selling my n4 now, if anyone is interested in lahore, contact me! Cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
Nice. Yeah new update seems better but not by much.

You planning to get nexus 5 or some other phone. Post ur ad on olx. I also sold my old phones there. Got better price than hafeez center.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
By all means post on olx, but remember to be very careful when going to meet the buyer... Make sure you meet in a public place with lots of ppl, preferable to go with someone...

Too many shady ppl there... Tho I do agree you do find good buyers as well and get good prices...

+1.

I always met buyers in public places. U know conditions in Pak. But u do get idea most of the times when u talk to them on phone, whether they are serious or not.

In all transactions we agreed to meet at a neutral place.

I remember once a guy asked me to come to his place, he said he live in a hostel, he doesnt have conveyance right now, asked me to come to his place. I refused (I was ill at that time too and didnt want to go that far in hot weather) and he was looking non serious/suspicious too (talked to him on phone).

Iam a complete noob in doing it manually dont know anthing about it.

My phone is completely stock never rooted or anything like that, never hacked it or that stuff.

I live in Lahore.

Yea i did that and the update came but it did not update the phone it went in safemode and there was the android with belly open but then it rebooted and thats its ,it still shows 4.4.2.Any help guys ??Can someone tell me how to do it manually??one more question if do not update to 4.4.3 will i be able to directly update to the new android (may be 4.5 or 5.0) when google releases it?? Thanks..
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
This is how it updates. After it completes downloading the update, it asks u to press/tap install to install it. U tap it and it restarts ur phone and install update with android logo shown as u said above.

But in ur case may be it could not successfully install the update since u saying it is still showing 4.4.2.

and from ur last post, ur phone is not rooted, right? so u have not modified any system file.

Anyway i would ask u to check the update again, go to settings, about phone, system updates. what it says there?
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
It may be that some of your system files have been altered - like a custom kernel, the presence of xposed, a Viper4 Android mod, or something else.

Flash the system.IMG file and try again.

As N4 is now available for 30k on HS. So is it worth buying?
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
Go for N5. Spend some more money and get a better device. N5 is certainly better.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Omer is absolutely correct... 30k for a N4 is too damn expensive. You can get the One+1 for that much which a zillion times better... As in the official Intl price is $300...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 4 General] arhamiq:
Yes but what if my budget is around 30k only. Can't exceed it. So is this a good choice then?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I suggest you wait it out... If you know someone who can get you a phone from the U.S then ask for a phone from there, because you can now get a LG G2 for 30k here which is better than the Nexus 5.

The 30k for a nexus 4 in my opinion is just too expensive, considering its almost 2 years old.

[MENTION=4346952]razi914[/MENTION] & [MENTION=3159534]aeoveu[/MENTION], hello guys. I was reading ur posts about SOD on n4. You guys still using n4? Do u still get SOD?

I have also started having this issue of SODs, and it happens on every kernel i have tried so far. My power button is also dying, so now i m using volume rockers wake option.

Have you guys found any solution to this SOD problem? Its really very annoying, u dont know when ur phone ll go to SOD.

I mostly get SOD if my phone remains on for about 5-7 days. But today i got it even after 2 days of uptime(means i didnt reboot phone for 2 days).

My guess it could b due to some hardware issue (like power button etc.). Coz i have started encountering this problem when my power button has slowly started breaking down. But its only my guess, coz some other friends' power button is also dying and they havent really reported this SOD issue.

I m now thinking what could be the cause. Did u guys come to any conclusion?
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
I don't know if it was the power button issue or not, since I had this problem from day one. I don't use the N4 anymore - I switched to the N5, and honestly, I'm actually happier!

SODs were random - most happens after 6 or so days, but sometimes, it could happen twice a day (although rare).
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
Thanks for the reply.

Yes that power button thing was just my guess. I m myself not sure abt it. Just i made a guess.

Anyway yeah u r right i get SOD (as said in my last post) if my phone stays on for abt 5-7 days (w/o rebooting). Getting SOD b4 this uptime is rare.

I dont know what shd i do to resolve this issue. It is getting annoying now. U dont know when (after switching screen off) pone goes to SOD. ?

Anyway did u sell ur n4? If yes, for how much and when sold it?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I think your best plan of action should be to sell the N4 ASAP... Get a temporary phone by borrowing or If you have some old spare phone in the house... Wait till the N6 launch... OR there is a Google conference in India on the 9th Sept I think where the will probably launch Android One...

Once that happens, the value of your N4 will drop more probably... So best sell it before then... And once the new models come out, the N5 prices should drop If you want to upgrade to that rather than pay premium for the newer N6 which is expected Oct 31...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
I sold it. I had no other choice. My power button was screwing around as well (it got old very quickly) and had to get rid of it. If the button and SOD issue weren't there, I'd still be using the N4.

I sold it for ~20k back in March, and got the N5 for 39k (barter trade, pinpacked).

But Drunkfuxx666's advice:

... Is spot on! I would advise you to sell the N4 before the price drops further. Frankly, I couldn't be happier with the N5 - all I think it lacks is a bigger sized battery (don't get me wrong - it lasts much more than the N4, but more is better :p) and a larger megapixel camera (the camera itself is really good - now I wish that the pixel size could be made larger for bigger photos without loss in fidelity). The phone is still great otherwise, including the camera and battery life.

I'm just trying to figure out how much battery HSPA consumes vs. EDGE (battery drain per hour)
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
You're right. But i think i ll not sell my n4, i ll keep this device until it die. ?

Yes i ll wait till next nexus is announced. Will check it's price and specs. Specs would b awesome i know. Will decide then whether i shd go for next nexus or some other phone.

---------- Post added at 07:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 AM ----------

Yes good for u bro. N5 is certainly better.

In my case now i use volume rockers to wake device. So power button not really a big issue now. I use vol rockers to wake device and nav nar shortcut to switch screen off. So i hardly use power button now. The only issue i have is SOD. ?

But i ll wait till next nexus and then decide what to do.

Thanks for ur help ?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Just a suggestion that I use myself... Since your using double tap the status bar to sleep, I always found that very unnatural to reach all the way up there to sleep the phone... A much easier and more natural thing would be, if you don't use Google Now much, or if you use Google launcher, you dont need the Navring to have the Google Now launch setting.

If you change it from Google to Sleep, its a much easier and natural one handed operation to turn off the screen... Just swipe straight up and it will put the phone to sleep. That's what I been using for a very long time to try to preserve the power button life... And I hate the feel of reaching all the way up to double tap and sleep.

Maybe you should try it...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
No I'm not using double tap on status bar to sleep, I'm using nav bar shortcut (on right side) to switch off screen. Like this in image below. You are right double tap on status bar is a bit difficult operation you have to take your finger on the top every time.

[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
Yes its a custom rom. Thats a screenshot of slimkat on nexus 7. On mako (nexus 4) i m using purity with same settings of nav bar ring shortcuts.

Now almost all custom roms have nav bar ring shortcuts also called quick launch shortcuts. It is very useful, also vol rocker wake. Now i only use power button to switch on phone.

WSalam.

Bro what i know u r not allowed to sell ur phone on xda. If some moderator sees it, he can warn you. U can sell it on olx or some other site. I have sold some phones on olx and got decent price, at least better than what i was offered by shops.

I also need a new phone now, currently using n4. Waiting for next nexus to be announced and released, will make decision then.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Yep... I use slimkat as well on my N5... And navring mods are generally in all custom ROMs. I just use only sleep in my Navring... For Google Now I have long press home for that.

And The Note Edge was launched today... I love the curved screen... Brilliant...!

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
Comes with Touchwiz and bloat and other "awesomeness" that bogs your phone down, and with the sounds of a cash register.

The curved screen is a new concept - one that I wonder how it'll show up (I'm still not sure how exactly it works), but I do know this: Samsung is horrible in their software and the lags. And the fact that it's a Samsung (sorry, I'm not really a fan of the "every option out there in the cosmos in your face and on your phone screen" type).

Also, since we're talking about personal tastes, I could never understand the logic of placing a call using a brick and putting it next to your ear to speak on it. Yeah, if we're going to play video games, BRING. IT. ON! I'd love that phone.

Otherwise? Na. Pass. Like the many other Samsung flagships. They're just waaaaaaayyy too much bloat!
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Well i had the s1 and s2 and they were both some of the best phones I've ever used. Sure they have their fair share if bloat, but nothing some custom modding can't fix. At the end of the day tho, you cant deny many of the added features you get are very useful... I felt the trimmed down stock ROMs were great to use.

Tho do check out the vdos on youtube for the Edge... I really like the concept, esp when phone is asleep but the display is on for notifications and time...

But yea the price point is definitely a deal breaker... I'm thinking it wont cost less than $750...

Hey, can anyone comment whether the signal strength is any better from your previous phone or not? The Gnex's cellular reception, compared to other phones, stinks when they're side by side.

Ofc we don't have 3g, so all tests will be done on 2g. The easiest way to know your signal reading is to go to About > System Status and then read the signal reading from there.

Anything below -90 dbm isn't all that great.

Anything above -90 dbm is acceptable.

Anything above -80 dbm is good.

[Nexus 4 General] naveediftikhar:
my signal strength on ufone is always sumwhere in bet 60 dbm to 70!
[Nexus 4 General] BadarChaudhry:
hi guys,

what speed u guys getting on Edge and which netwrok is better for internet, Ufone or telenor?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Im running on -69... Never really bothered checking on my other phones... On ufone...

The best speed I've gotten from Ufone on torrents is about 20-25 kb/s... But in general its pretty slow...

I've heard telenors GPRS is the best in terms of speed ... Can't really confirm that tho as I've not used it myself... But was said by a friend who works for Ufone... They tend to know...

On a side note... Were most likely not getting 3g anytime soon, possibly not at all, despite mobile companies distributing 3g ready sims...

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 General] DeadSOL:
The optimal signal strength is between -70 dBm to -90 dBm. -112 is when you're probably end up with dropped calls.

Ah, I can't believe it. Mine was -61 dBm yesterday when I checked. Now it's -83 dBm! :( Obviously, the closer you are to the tower, the better! I'm on Warid.

EDIT: Oh, wait. It's -69 dBm again. Hurray! I must remember not to face my phone the wrong way. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
How far are you guys away from the towers?

In my neighbors place, I get -73db but in my room, out drops down to -93db.

I read somewhere that the Gnexus' radio isn't great and all, and that the N4' radio isn't great either... Hence, the question.

I've read in a few places when people compared their Blackberry with the Gnex, the BB managed to retain the signal with a similar ratio above (~90db for the Gnex, and ~70db for the BB). Now if the N4 has the same problem, I might as well skip it (although one site performed a comparison and the N4 didn't fare any better or worse...just a 1 or 2db difference with the Gnex... Can't find the link but its on Google).

So... How far is the nearest tower?

As for the poster who inquired about Telwnor's gprs and ufone's...can't speak for Ufone but Telenor's been having trouble for quite a while, with pings going horribly high (even at night) and speeds not exactly being optimal (0.20Mbps is a good leverage, but I'm getting 0.10 and slightly above in most areas of Rawalpindi/Isb...rarely do I get 0.20 in some areas now). Heck, Mobilink seems to be whooping Telenor's ass right now (cause I ported out from it recently...for other reasons. Mobilink's net had become quite good... And fast too!)

Sorry for the gibberish; this post was sent from my mini tractor.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
How does one known how far their tower is again...?? I don't think my phone tells me that... Nor do I think I want to leave my house to look for it :P

But I think its reception is better than my previous S2, and Galaxy Q... In my kitchen where signal tends to drop out, it hold the same as them if not better... As in not noticed a full signal loss there at all yet...

[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
Well... They say that the s2 has better signal than the GSM GNexus... And if you're saying its better than the S2, then it must be better. I don't think there's an app to tell you the distance between your phone and the tower (Network Signal Monitor wasn't precise in any case for me, since it reports the tower being at my home...) But you might have an idea... They're usually located in the nearest markets.

Oh, and when you said "it holds the same as them", could you clarify please - as in, it drops out, or retains signal? If it retains, how many bars do you get (or more accurately, what's your dBm reading)?

Can others put forth their experiences please?

Thanks! :)
