I was on carbon rom when i had to use maps..tested it and it took very little time in locking..no issues at all from Rom side..right now using Axiom rom..gps works fine in it as well..
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
Reflash the radio. That's what I've read.

Also, people who have flashed an lte-enabled radio have also reported problems with the GPS.

Poetic is a bit ugly compared to OEM, no?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Compared to OEM yes it doesn't look AS good... But ugly... Definitely not... It actually looks quite good...

The pics posted on their site or amazon etc are actually not a good representation... The light grey border of rubber is actually a very dark grey in reality... Which sandwiches a jet black plastic... So it comes together quite nicely...

There is a thread here for these poetic bumpers... Lots of people have posted pics... Even in the various colours... You can check them out there...

It's white from back & black from the front..Looks rather strange combination..

It's like putting up a white Cover on the back of of your black Nexus..& there you go...You got a new white Nexus 4 :D
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Lol... I agree kindof... But personally i really liked the galaxy nexus white... Because they kept the white Trim on the front black screen... On the white N⁴ it looks EXACTLY the same as the black... Cant tell them apart from a front view...

But apparently the concept of a black front is so the bezel and screen blend in... Black on black... What they dont seem to understand tho is that only Properly works with a Amoled display ... Not an IPS...the blacks arnt black enough on IPS...

sim question

hey everyone!!! good to have a Paki thread ...

i got mine and the problem is i am unale to use mobilink sim in it where as the same sim is perfectly fine with my one x...

the shop keeper put 2 sim zong and ufone and it picked in like in a flash but not getting mobilink one.

mine is eurpeon set... any help...
[Nexus 4 General] Raza Qadri:
Have you tried using any other mobilink sim?
[Nexus 4 General] faddyie:
No Raza... Not tried with another MOBILINK sim... infact dont have other mobi sim

however i read in this thread somewhere that i guy inserted sim with a layer of tape on it as he found the mobilink sim thinner than other network sims...
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
Yeah i also read that and his sim started working. Anyway i think u shd take ur phone and sim to any mobilink customer care they shd give u a sim which is compatible with nexus 4. Or try the method used by the other guy.
[Nexus 4 General] faddyie:
yeah.. that could be done... but i just need devs to look into it or share whats the technical reason behind this... is this the conclusion that the sim is thin or anyhing wrong with the radio as MOBILINK works on 150mhz and ZONG on 600mhz freqs...

any logical or final conclusive answer... please ...
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
I thought I posted this before, but anyway, the Sim you're using is thinner in size and is probably dangling slightly in the aim tray. To fix it, either make sure that you apply a layer of tape ON the Sim to thicken it, or fasten the Sim to the tray so that it doesn't move about the slightest bit.

Your best net is to go to a Mobilink service center and get your Sim replaced from there.

I went through the same, exact thing as you're going through...I ended up taping the SIM to the tray holder and it worked like a charm (cause it wasn't cut out properly and vibrated in the tray). Of course, that's no proper solution so I got my Sim replaced. Rs. 50 only.

[Nexus 4 General] faddyie:
I dont understand one thing that if MOBILINK sim is thin what is the guarantee that the next sim they would give would be fit and read. the company is same. the sim plastic is same... any advice
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
I remember once thr was some non android phone (years ago) which had a compatibility issue with one of the sims (dont remember it). And when one wud take that phone to their customer service they wud replace that sim.

I m not sure y mobilink sim is not working with nexus 4, but if i were u i wud take it to the customer care, at least they wud tell some solution.
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
It could happen with anyone. It happens in other countries as well. I'd say stay in the service center until you don't get a Sim that works.

[Nexus 4 General] Raza Qadri:
But it shouldn't happen as Mobilink officially launched nexus 4 in Pakistan. Just get micro sim from Mobilink :)
[Nexus 4 General] faddyie:
Mobilink dosnot issue micro sim. They can get u cut with a cutter
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Every network in Pakistan now offers official micro sims, and big players also issue Nano Sims...

At times the different plastic guages do vary hence the thick and thin problem... With every new batch of sims is slightly different... Like in Urdu... 19-20... But nonetheless... Go to Mobilink customer care... They will 100% issue you a new proper microsim...

If your saying Mobilink doesn't issue micro sims and you currently are using a Mobilink sim which is micro, that means you cut it yourself...??

There is a slight difference of thickness between the minisim and microsim... That's why minis cut into micros tend to give problems...

Bottom line... Go to Mobilink... They will 100% have a microsim... Even a Nanosim if you want...

Sent from my Nexus⁴
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
Umm...see the following quoted post:

Ditto. I confirmed it from two different service centers that they cut it and don't have it pre-cut. They do, however, carry the nano Sim in stock, pre-cut. And this is why the problem arises.

I thought it would be cause the Sim is thin - but actually, I was wrong: the Sim dangles in the tray holder. It works in other trays cause it doesn't dangle there. It depends in how well it was cut.

[Nexus 4 General] faddyie:
Dear today i just checked inside the sim jack and i tell u that its so much compact that the sim gets scratches on insert and pull out...

Cutter is same for all if u get thru mobi or shops... The problem i think lies with the sim capability to catch the network signals...

The most strange part is the same sim is being caught by htc one x but not n4

---------- Post added at 01:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ----------

Fyi: mobi does not have ready micro sims. They cut the normal mini sim for u and get 50 rupees extra for it too. However they do have nano sims ready...

The problem is not just getting the new sim issued... Its abt to get one shot resolution... Next time anybody faces such issues he can get the sol by just googling it...

Did anyone check youtube android app is working on ptcl (though videos are not playing/buffering). But the app is showing subscriptions, updates etc. Previously it wud say "network error".
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
OK just reconfirmed from my friend in Mobilink... He had told me they carry the micro and mini official sims...

Anyway he just confirmed they no longer carry the micro sims and are just cutting, but do carry the nano official now... They used to carry all sim types before tho...

So I guess you guys are right and more uptodate...

Secondly I really disagree with the concept of the sim catching signal to be the problem... I will put my money on Aeoveu's theory about it being a size issue... Nothing to do with sim catching signals... If that were the problem then it wouldn't work in any phone... Don't you think...?

Thanks for your opinion. My theory isn't actually my own - I got it off the internet, from people living in the west. :)

I recently purchased a N4. Wonderful device, anyways, I face a dilemma. I can't find a decent back protector or screen protector for the device.

I've visited Serena 3 times thus far. I've tried screen protectors of 3 different companies; all 3 ended up with a lot of scratches within days.

I also managed to get hold of this hard plastic back protector, it covers the back and the left/right sides, however it leaves the top and bottom open. I'm concerned that the chrome lining will end up with scratches from usage. I would like a cover which protects all 4 sides, and preferably is of soft plastic, like those X-Mart covers commonly available for other phones.

Have any of you N4 users in Karachi been able to find a decent back cover and protector? If yes, please tell me from where and if possible post pictures as well.

Nexus 4 sim issue mobilink jazz

Mobilink sim issue has been sorted out

sim has 2 types of cicuits. Big and small. See the picture.

Nexus 4 doesnot read big cicuits although its cut to micro.

p.s. both sim were cut to make micro.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Hmmm... Interesting... Maybe that's it... But... It can also be that the "big circuit" may be slightly damaged due to such a close cut to the border... Of course its just a punch out cutter, hence no real finesse when it comes to the cut... And from the looks of it, the edges do look kinda roughed out... Tho maybe that doesn't effect the actual sim functioning... So... Not sure...

Either way... Good thing your problem finally sorted out...

So I finally took off my bumper to give it a cleaning after seeing the posts here...

Took it off for the first time after about 3 months... And I unfortunately use the phone in quite dusty conditions due to living close to the sea... But... To my amazement... No scratches whatsoever :)

Maybe just one or two slight marks on the chrome, barely noticeable and possibly due to nudges against something... But the rubber sides are mint...

I highly recommend this bumper to all of you guys... Well worth the money... At $13 with a 3 year replacement warranty... Its excellent value...

Is it a case? Well i m with u as well then, i hate to use case with my phone. I was talking to rabie (pm) that i m looking for a leather pouch. Case or bumpers make ur phone quite thick. This is why i m not using the flip case which i recently bought, it makes phone so thick. And cant even use it as a substitute to pouch otherwise putting it on and off will put some scratches on sides.

I have htc one s pouch (which is small for nexus 4, doesnt cover it completely) bt using it. Have no other option.

@DrunkFuX666, which kernel are you using? Franco latest nightly? Does it have any lag/shutter?

I used Franco M2 and some old nightlies (newer than M2), but all of them some lags or shuttering (tho not much).

How is latest nightly? r156?

Have you played some games with franco r156? Does it lag?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Its a ringke slimline original case apparently... Those are supposed to be very minimal so don't think it should add too much bulk to the phone... But your call of course... I think its a good product...

I've been on Franco r155... And no I don't experience any lag as such... No complaints... If I do get the occasional glitch, it can be due to my under clocking(300-11000) and undervolting(-125 all around)...

I actually havnt had much time to do any heavy gaming recently ... Last I did I never had any complaints... Think real racing 3 was the last heavy game I had played properly... Light games run flawless like candy crush or stick cricket etc...

You can get an upgrade. If you're using custom recovery, then you will only be able to flash it after downloading the zip file - the ota works on the stock recovery only. Also, if you've changed the phone's kernel or bootprop file, it may not upgrade.

The best thing to do when you have an ota is to flash the stock kernel, stock radio, stock system image and stock recovery. You don't need to flash the user data file (in the firmware zip offered by Google).

Nexus 4

Hey guys, AOA

I'm interested in buying the Nexus 4. I asked around a couple of stores in Bluearea and found the prices to be quite a lot more than I expected. Firstly, there was no 8 GB version available. There were two 16 GB versions available, 1 covered under warranty costing about 45000 and the other which wasn't covered under warranty costing around 40000.. I've found both 8gb (35000) and 16gb (38500) versions on Mega.pk and have found the prices to be cheaper there as well. However I'm assuming these phones aren't covered under warranty. What I want to know is whether this "warranty" is even worth it. Seeing how it's an android phone I don't see how I need a software assurance warranty. What hardware components will be covered under the warranty and am I better off buying it from the site?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
As far as I know , the only person giving an official warranty on the nexus in pak is Brightex... Their warranty covers all hardware except the battery, charger, cable, like all warranties... How good the service is, I don't know since not required it...

As for if the warranty is worth it... It actually depends on your comfort level... The main problem in this phone was the earpiece buzzing, but I'm 99% sure the warranty will NOT replace your phone for that reason IF the problem is actually there... Apart from that not really heard of any hardware problems, except the red light of death, which one can fix themselves by opening the back cover and tightening the battery.

The warranty will NOT cover cracked screens, front or back.

Hence in my opinion, I wouldn't think a warranty is needed... But if your more comfortable with it then go for it...

I suggest getting the phone from a person you personally know who your sure won't screw you over... You can get it new in Karachi without warranty for about 38-40k new... Used for about 35k... 16gb...
