[LG Optimus 3D] b.charles.gagne:
Hey everyone, On my rogers optimus 3d I've installed a couple of weeks ago korean ICS to my phone with TWRP no problem except some stability and things like this.

I then recently received 2 backup batteries to get the phone past a day without charging it and everything is working fine.

My problem is that now the phone seems to think every of my 3 batteries (even the original one) can't get past 1% of charge even after a full night of charge.

I've tried also on my external charger that came with the batteries, they get a red light saying it's charging for about a couple of minutes then turns blue to say it's fully charged (a perfectly normal behaviour for these charger on a healty battery that's almost fully charged). Even after the external charger saying the battery is full, phone keeps recognising it as a 1% battery.

I've tried the app called Battery Calibration Free and it did pretty much nothing to help.

Also tought about wiping battery stats, but this option seems to be absent from TWRP.

I also did my homeworks and found this post : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1511039&page=4 with ppl getting almost the same problem as I did but on gingerbread

Anyone any idea because i'm starting to get mad because the phone can't even handle 10minutes with it's 3 batteries...

I am having a hard time deciding if I want to go back to TW with stock JB. So far I am really happy with CM10 except for minor bugs here and there but what about you guys, Have you changed from CM10 to JB?

How do you like it?

Is it as fast and snappy'?

I miss the stock camera, the email layout, some gestures (txt to talk, Facebook integrated with contacts) and other lil' things here and there but that is about it.

Let me know.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krackerjac:
I switched back. Its nice, smooth and snappy, but I do miss the vanilla aosp that cm10 delivers.....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kulzboy:
Just jumped from cm10 to this partly because ill be sending my phone to samsung soon. It is snappier if not the same than cm10. Quadrant score is 6100 :eek:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I like both will use TouchWiz JB when need complete stock everything working 100% and then go to AOSP/AOKP when I want to have more fun with themes and such.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jigga0o7:
Yep I switched. I had been using all of the JB Leaks and had strangely poor performance but recently was able to attribute that to the "media server" taking up a disproportionate amount of CPU time and I was able to fix that. Everything's good.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dvno:
I tried out the stock OTA and then switched right back. IMO nothing beats this stable CM 10.0 build. :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:
Except having a camera that can save to SD card, ammirite!!!

Kidding aside, I switched back from CM to stock just a few days before the JB update and am glad I did. I've always used CM ROMs with previous phones, but this was the first time that there were simply too many things that should just work right that simply were not working right. The stock JB is definitely snappy, camera is great, GPS works instantaneously (was another gripe I was having with CM).

Cyanogen Mod is not vanilla Android.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Master_sk3:
I was wondering how people would compare stock android camera vs the galaxy s3 camera. To me it seems like you would be losing features if you switched to a AOSP based rom, atlease until they are based on 4.2.

I did, couldn't handle Cyanosh*t mod
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Master_sk3:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:
Correct, the stock camera has a lot more features, at least a lot more that comes with the CM10 rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jms122589:
I thought about it but i have always been a sucker for AOKP and CM10 since the my touch 4g, the reason I bought this phone was the fact that Samsung is usually dev friendly and usually has aosp ROMs available
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] krackerjac:
Its the closest thing to vanilla aosp for sgs3. please enlighten me and let me know what you think is the closest...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jaimesco12:
I did change from cm10 nightly to stock jb official because the features touchwiz have are just amazing.:thumbup:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] xManMythLegend:
Touch wiz may be bloated.... But the features are awesome. The motion and sharing options are way ahead of stock Android. IMO not since HTC Hero has a "skin" actually added something good to android.

We can have most of the best features and still have tw options with jb roms. I don't see a benefit to running aosp on the s3.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] V6iNSPIRE:
I switch between Official JB and CM10 Stable. Both are great and I just cant seem to settle.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Android_Monsters:
Running the last nightly cm10
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Just because you couldn't handle it doesn't mean it's sh*t.. You need to know what you're doing. But it's okay if you're inexperienced, just don't bash something great because you don't know what you're doing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] redhooka:
Cyanogen Mod has plenty of stuff added, it is far from vanilla Android.

I sorta think that's his point, if you know what your doing, you can extract it yourself, it's like a 2 minute process.

I suppose this could be useful for people with really slow internet connections who would rather have just the system.img than the whole thing.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
For people who have the Nexus 4, I'm wondering how that glass back is holding up?

The review unit at The Verge already has a small crack, from when it was accidentally knocked off of a table. And Android Central, in their review, said they were already seeing hairlines scratches on the back. I was also in a T-Mobile store today looking at their demo unit, which had a few hairline scratches on the back (even though they just got the phone today).

The glass back is one part of the build of the phone that I a bit worried about in the long run (after all, it didn't work out so well on the iPhone 4).

Thanks for any comments.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Apparently one of the people on this forum that got the device early, dropped it and the back broke :p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlleN7:
omigosh, maybe I'll just wait for the next Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Ouch.... I ordered screen protector for front and back, and a soft case but they won't come until later this month.

I guess I will have to stick with my old g2 for a while?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyslexicpenguin:
Why is everyone so worried about the BACK glass breaking? If I dropped the phone I'd be a whole lot more concerned over the front SCREEN breaking. The glass on the back cracking would be annoying, but it won't hurt the function of the phone. The front breaking obviously would, and every single smartphone has a glass screen.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Shattered glass in your hands is bad either way
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
if it breaks just get a case or skin for it lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrix0886:
I'm curious how well it'd hold up with a Zagg Invisi-Shield on it...if it would still crack simply from shock or not. Either way, i'll still get a bumper case for the phone simply out of paranoia, lol. I drop my phones like crazy. It's amazing how crazy I am over gadgets and protecting them, yet they still seem to slip from my desk/car/hand :P

I think i'm going to give this phone 2 months before I invest any money into it. I'd rather play it smart and wait than to be "cool" because I was the first to get one (which honestly, nobody really gives a **** about, lol). I had friends who were all "hey, hey look. I got the new 'insertnewphonehere'. I'm one of the first people to get one" and everyone else was like "......um, ok. You want a prize or something?" lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Yes, every single smartphone does have a glass screen, which is why there would be no point asking this question about any particular phone. It's a necessity and it's not a reason one is going to choose one phone over another.

But there's no reason the back of the Nexus 4 has to be glass, so it is relevant to consider how durable it's going to be when comparing it to other phones. Why effectively double a risk (of a glass part breaking), if it's not necessary?

It's also possible that the back of the Nexus 4 is not as durable as the typical screen. It is interesting that all of the stories of breaking and scratches, so far, are on the back phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferozfero:
thing is ..its simple... google heard all of last year how samsung screwed up the build quality of nexus with plastic..so they thought what material while cheap can provide a lil if not lot more premium feel...(the 4s pops into their head)..lg presents a similar phone..and voila nexus 4 is made.. im not saying its bad quality..to be honest its the best quality phone im gonna buy...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwahchees:
Holy, Deja Vu. I swear I saw this post somewhere before. Maybe I was dreaming of you...

Anyways. Screen protectors won't hold the phone together from a drop. A case will. I'm getting a bumper.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
Personally I love the glass back. I will not drop this phone and I will be using a case like I do with any expensive smart phone..

Sure, drop it onto a stone, cement or tile floor chances are it will crack. Many phones would.

Bumper on it. Sides protected, weak points of the glass that is. Done
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funky247:
Why care about the glass breaking at all? There will surely be OEM back plates available for sale on eBay (just as there are for the iPhones) and seeing how easy the Nexus 4 is to take apart, you could just replace it yourself for $20-$30!

Although the Nexus 4 back plate may be a little more expensive as it actually has components on it...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stratax:
The back and front are both Gorilla Glass 2. if you are THAT worried about it, get ghost armor or something or a otterbox case.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
I have not heard of anyone that had a shattered glass back on a Nexus 4. Cracked and scratched is a far cry from shattered.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Yeah, I imagine something like this was the logic. And it is a nice phone. Defintely a step up in at least perceived build quality. But there are certainly a lot of other ways to get there. The rubbery matte material on the side of the phone has a nice feel to it. If the back had been made from that material, I think it would have had an equally premium feel and seemed a lot more durable. It's also a little sad to think that the best idea Google had was to copy the iPhone.

*

Good luck with that.

*

Cracked and scratched on day 1 (even with review units) is not a good beginning. I suspect it's only a matter of time until we start seeing the image of shattered backs posted online. I hope I turn out to be wrong.

*

The back of the iPhone 4 is Gorilla Glass too. It didn't stop backs from shattering. Anyway, the point is that there is no reason to take the extra risk of having not just the screen as a fragile component, but also the back. It just doubles the odds of shattering something for no good reason. Sooner or later most people drop their phones. The job of a good designer is to mitigate (not enhance) the possible downsides of this.

*

By the way, I like this phone. I may still get one. I'm just not excited about having to treat something I carry with me everywhere, like a delicate piece of equipment. I'm not clumsy. I've only dropped my Nexus One a couple times in two years. But things like that happen when you're least expecting it and coming up with a shattered back, rather than a nick or dent is going to be really annoying. (And I hate cases and all that crap. I carry my phone in my pocket. I don't need to make a device designed to be as thin and pocketable as possible, thicker and more cumbersome.)

From now on, just to be safe, when the doorbell rings I'm gonna start recording. That way if its my n4 I can document the delivery, unboxing and state of my device. No way I would let Google slide with sending me a fractured device and then charge me a restocking fee for a replacement...better to err on the side of caution.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyea:
My N4 slipped off a window will, and impacted the marble floor below, from the 3 foot fall. The only apparent damage is a slight dent in the chrome metal band near two corners, on the volume button side of the phone. I'm impressed, and relieved.

There is an almost imperceptible slope to the window sill. I had my back turned to the phone, and after a minute from placing the phone on that window sill, gravity overcame friction long enough to allow the fall.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vandizzam:
Are you sure it wasn't the pressure from your skinny jeans that caused the crack?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] potatomaster:
I placed mine down on the counter to charge and when I came back, it had shattered right around the speaker hole and spread cracks throughout the back of the phone. I'm not sure if the phone got warm and the counter was cold, but this was definitely not from pressure. This is very disappointing quality.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFiveDots:
For those suggesting it's the cuts in the glass for speakers, etc., I doubt that's the case. Most if not all phones using Gorilla Glass or similar have cuts and openings in one place or another.

Please post a picture... (Sorry for your loss :crying:)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armandosal:
I think the best thing to do is either get a case for the phone or a bumper plus a screen protector for the back. The bumper should protect the phone from falls and the screen protector for the scratches.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhoud:
If it's a gel case it will also provide a little protection from cracks as well
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
Sorry to hear about your phone.

That's pretty perplexing. It would be great if you could post photos. It's the first case I know of where clearly there wasn't some bump or other form of pressure that the person just didn't notice (i.e. while the phone was in their pocket). Perhaps there is some problem with heat and cooling, as you suggest, although I assume the cpu is not right next to the speaker. Does the phone tend to get hot around the speaker for some reason? Perhaps while it's charging? (My Nexus One gets pretty hot while charging.) I also wonder if Gorilla Glass is supposed to be like pyrex (can withstand rapid changes in temperature).

Thanks for any more details or photos that you can provide.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
No, the phone seems to get hot towards the top, and the speaker grill is at the bottom.

Do people really think the bumper will make much of a difference as far as cracking? I don't see it.

for those of you who bought this phone....BUY THE BUMPER CASE!! trust me it's worth it. this phone is way too vulnerable to damage.

i bought it at the same time i ordered my phone and boy am i glad i did, i'm the guy who never buys any type of case for his phones because it takes away from the sexiness of the phone but this bumper case is a well thought out added protection to your phone.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Justification:
I have some small scratches on the back of mine. I've been really careful with it -- wiping off any surface I place it on and gently putting it in and out of my pocket... I've had the phone for 3 days. The screen is fine, the back glass is definitely much weaker/cheaper than the front.

Oh well, I'll take some small scratches rather than putting ugly cases and screen protectors on it. I don't get the point of protecting it if it looks ugly the whole time, only to take off the protection when it comes time to sell.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JPowered:
Installing clear skins on the back of the device will prevent scratches and have little to no effect on the appearance of the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donmeister85:
I hope they make some kind of dual screen protector pack with cutouts for both sides. Don't really want clear skins covering up the rubberized sides. Very nice looking device that I would just put in my pants or jacket pocket like I do with my GS2. Just seems so easy to scratch that back though.

You said it yourself, its plastic:p
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cb474:
I agree that plastic does not necessarily have a cheap feel. The Samsung phones often feel cheap to me. But I think the polycarbonate on the One X+ is nice. And I think soft touch plastics (like on the sides of the Nexus 4) can have a premium feel to them. I think the best replacement back option for the Nexus 4 probably would be some sort of soft touch plastic. It would have a higher quality feel, not be slippery, and not create any RF interference. But of course, it is largely subjective what people find to be premium.

How is the bumper holding up with falls?

I can't decide whether to get a TPU case or the bumper and screen protectors. I love how the bumper leaves the sexiness of the phone in tact but I'd very much prefer a completely safe phone over it looking nice.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_phekt:
I haven't dropped mine yet (knock on wood), but the bumper sure helps keep the back from getting scratched because it has a bit of a lip on it. So when laying flat it's not sitting directly on the glass. Also helps the whole sliding off flat surfaces issue. I personally never like to use any type of case, so once I get a screen protector on the back I'm definitely selling my bumper to someone who could really use and appreciate it.
