[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richieboy67:
If the note was unlocked I would keep it over the nex 4 any day... The nex 4 seems awesome but a note 2 is an amassing device.. Of I could get an unlocked one for around the same price I would love to get one..

Just curious, how much did you sell the note for and was it unlocked?

Note II to a Nexus 4 would be a huge downgrade.

Problem with touchwiz? Unlock and install vanilla android on it and problem solved.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paper_kiwi:
I could never give up my Note II the screen size is amazing, camera is amazing and there hasn't been any major issues that I have heard. I think the Nexus as amazing as it is isn't quite at the same level as the Note.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkseekeer:
Can you actually do that?! If so, please point at the thread!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szymon247:
I wouldn't. The quality of Note 2 is significantly better, components used are better, internal design is better and what you get with Nexus 4 is a slightly faster CPU (which is slower after it throttles down) and official vanilla Android. I mean, it's a great phone for its price that I'm considering getting but it's not as good as the Note 2 overall. If you don't care about timely updates to official Android for the next 2 years or so as much as about hardware quality I'd keep the Note 2.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mys3:
i have both. the nexus 4 is a solid phone but doesnt compare with the note 2. the note 2 is quicker ( regardless of benchmarks), samsung have done a top job with this version of touchwiz & the screen quality seems more vivid plus the additional size makes everything a pleasure:good:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
I don't want a phablet, I was happy to give up using a stylus once capacitive screens came out and there is no way in hell I'd pay $600 for an android device. N4 is an easy choice and if I already had the Note II I'd sell it, buy a N4 and have $300 ready for next year when the N5 comes out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2915683:
600 dollars for a big piece of touchwiz plastic. No thank you. N4 is good for me and then some.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BRKotucs:
Already have..... I took it back after using it for 10 days, got me 2 nexus and $89 back.

I've been using my Nexus for a day already and I don't miss the note.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WaveRapture:
Guys take the note 2 if you can its a great phone. Nexus 4 is also good but more for someone without much money
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
Before getting Note II I would say it's a nobrainer, Nexus 4 comes on top, but after a day using GPS tracking while hiking 11 miles, and not seeing battery drop, I'm really conflicts.

Never mind that it is plastic. The build quality is amazing, and you don't see the crap issues posted in Nexus 4. I next liked touchwiz bit this one is not too bad. I actually like the S-pen a lot.

My Nexus 4 is still in Limbo so I can't compare, but according to what I have read I'd keep the note, if I was not that big a fan of stock Android.

This is a decision you have to make for yourself. It's best if you can actually use both phone for a couple of days.

I have an iPad. I have never touched it after getting Note II, even though I used iPad a lot when I was spring a Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadi703:
Note 2 is a way better phone. If you have note 2 then keep it. I have both and I feel note 2 can do much more for me as compared to nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BravoMotorola:
I would switch. The Nexus 4 has a class factor which I guess some might not care for, but It's been said that the Nexus 4 feels like a piece of jewelry and I actually agree. The Note 2 isn't horrible build quality, but it's still plastic and misses this factor in my opinion. Plus the whole power thing... the Nexus 4 is more powerful then the Note 2. Probably the fastest on the market for a phone. For a phone as big as the Note 2 I would want it to be an extreme power beast. It is really powerful, but just not the best. Last, you get the updates. If you don't love the classy awesome look of stock Android, then you won't care.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadi703:
The power thing is not correct. All benchmarks and real world usage tells that note 2 is more powerful. Note 2 is expensive for a reason and endless features are great. The samsung added software, multiwindow, s pen etc is great. Nexus 4 even can not promise the speed that its hardware is capable of. Look at the threads on this forum showing less performance because of thermal throttling problem under excessive loads. I have made comparison between note 2 and nexus 4 browsing speed and note 2 is faster even when chrome is used as browser. App load etc is more snappier. Although Mali GPU of note 2 appears old but note 2 is running games better than nexus 4 and big screen is another advantage in games and web browsing. Using s pen as mouse is great in certain applications as well as web browser.

No hacks are required and Samsung has built in support for USB drives using USB otg cable and ps3 controller support. I hate on screen buttons of nexus 4 as they make 4.7 inch screen to be only 4.3 inch screen and every now and then I accidentally hit the on screen button while swiping the screen for something else. Like playing fruit ninja, scrolling web pages. The gestures and air view is great on note 2. One of the reason I sold my iPhone 5 was that the screen was too small for me as I am accustom to big android phones and I was using S3 before iPhone 5 so I sold iPhone 5 just after on week. This nexus 4 screen with on screen buttons have gone very close (4.3) to 4 inch screen of iPhone 5 and I don't like small screens.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidInsanity:
I switched from the note 2 to the Nexus 4. and I honestly do not thing its a downgrade, but a upgrade for me. Samsungs features are not there But the pure android vanilla experience is so much better for me, it just looks more.... sexier. I take pictures alot, and the camera is not bad enough to make you miss the note 2's camera. And overall usage is just so much fluid. The only reason I miss my note 2 is because of the big screen.

But other than that, no regrets. any questions feel free too PM me. I am sure I can answer any question you may have :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berryc:
I sold my note 2 on eBay and bought a nexus 4 and a iPad mini with an extra hundred pounds. For me it's the best of both worlds and I don't regret it for a second.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Atic Atac:
Both phones are great and (IMO) the main difference is size and battery life.

I´ve been using the note 2 for a while and it was impossible for me to use it with one hand, which was pretty unconfortable, so i went for the Nexus 4. As easy as that.

(And the price made a huge difference of course:D )
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horr1blek1tten:
Seriously? I would die for that phone lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
I have both the Note 2 & the N4, I know, why 2 phones.

The Note 2 is brill & does everything I have asked of it. I just wanted a good pure phone.

I thought the Galaxy nexus was poor phone.

I wouldn't switch, I'd get both & have more fun.

Btw - The Note 2 is good enough on stock, I tried a few cooked roms & they didn't improve the overall day to day running of the Note 2.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
You have too much luxury. I have both phones on my hands now and am trying to decide which one to keep. It's essentially impossible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muhammadthebest:
note 2 or N4

I went from the note 2 to Nexus 4 and dont regret it at all. Loved the note 2 screen but at times it did seem too much. Also I love to customize my phone and touchwiz can interfere with that some. I almost always replace stock apps with an play store app I purchased. For instance say you want a special dialer app, with the note 2 it will default back to stock at times but with N4 I never have to see the stock one again. Also a lot of apps are made by more developers with N4 and I find more apps work better and are just more compatibile than with the note 2. The s pen is a good perk to have but honestly I barely used it and most of the time it was faster to use the keyboard than the s pen. N4 also feels faster and more fluent. Build quality on N4 tops note 2 any day. The chrome around the edge of the note 2 also scratches very easy. N4 just feels more premium to me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KentuckyHouse:
A little background...

I ordered the Nexus 4 on launch day, got backordered a few day later (like a lot of you), and just decided to cancel the order and wait for the stock to be replenished. I already have my S3 that I've had since shortly after launch and I love it dearly. It's just running rooted stock.

I got caught up in the Note 2 craze and decided I'd give one a try. Picked one up from Best Buy, off contract, and used it for a few days. I returned it this morning.

If I hadn't ever had the S3, the Note 2 would be a HUGE upgrade over anything else I've had (see my sig and you'll see what I've had in the past). But after you get past that big beautiful screen and the S-Pen (which I rarely used), it's really nothing more than a S3 on steroids. The thing that got me the most, though, was just the sheer size of the device. It's pocketable, but I found that my hand just really didn't like how truly large it is.

I'm absolutely content with returning the Note 2. It's actually made me appreciate my S3 even more (if that's possible). Like I said, I'll wait for the Nexus 4 stock to come back and I'll grab one of those to play around with, but if you've got a S3, I don't think it's worth getting the Note 2. Just my opinion.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @home:
LOL - I guess so, it's good though.

I get bored very easily of a phone - I hope you make the right choice for yourself - If you cannot decide....

Get them both :)

My mom would murder me if I keep both. And financially I could really use that extra 500 bucks as well.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unlvmike:
Ultimately it's your decision. Most of the people here don't own a note, or a nexus 4 for that matter. Of the people I know that bought the note, they did so because of the size and features. So comparing the two is silly to me. Different market for both phone's
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icy_virtuoso6:
For some of us it's not silly at all as we are having a terribly difficult time picking which of the two to get, myself being one of them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
For what it's worth, I've decided to go with N4 and sell Note. Dev support, IPS screen, and the general feel of the phone ate the reasons.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slatestud:
I originally ordered two nexus 4's (one of them on accident), played with it for a few hours and and decided that its a pretty average mid level phone imo. I then sold both for over $510 and used the profit towards a note 2. Glad I did because the note 2 is the definition of a fully featured android device. I love it and its huge screen.

If you have the money, the note 2 is far better option.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
I have both, so yeah. Swap my SIM back and forth as I see fit. Feels good man, smoke em if you got em.

Nexus 4: running, hiking, skiing and weekend use.

Note 2: M-F business use and any time I am with one device only (sans computer, etc). Gets the job done nicely. It's like a mobile office. Split multi screen with a pop-over 3rd screen is amazing. Crazy multi-tasking. Don't need a Nexus 7/10!

Just buy both. If you can't afford both, get the Note 2 and do it all. It's amazing but I love the Nexus phones.

Always have both on me, however. Can swap the SIM in a jiffy for instant gratification. Love it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] razball:
I had my note 2 for 2 weeks and it was just to laggy in certain ways and what really pissed me off as well was, my friend with his i5 says lets to a vs speed test for fun and everything opened almost twice as fast on his and everything was killed just prior.

So I got the nexus 4 and it is sooooo much smoother and nicer in the hand and just a more well rounded device overall.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericshmerick:
Laggy in what ways? You are the first person on the entire internet that's called the Note 2 laggy...just saying (I do believe you, but wonder where the lag was exactly).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testulous:
Being a phone junkie I tend to match the phone with the shoes. It's part of business attire these days. Note2 for formal occasions and N4 for casual.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
How do you do this? Arent they different sim card types and different data plans? Doesnt at&t need to register your device's imei number?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globen:
It's really all on what you're going to use your phone for. For me I'm getting the note 2 because I like to annotate PDF files and switch back and forth between different applications. Really having the ability to have two apps open at once is a huge plus for me and my situation. Right now I have the Galaxy Nexus and don't get me wrong I love the phone, and having pure Android is a pleasure yet it's just is lacking some of the features that I personally need. So once again it really depends on what you're using your phone for. Hope that helps!

It is alomst the same, but the fact is that you will have root without reboots. I really don`t know why is happening this problem when root gets by Flashtool. By the way, reboots happening only when yoy mount r/w, when r/o, there`s no reboots. When you get root with method that i wrote above, there will be no reboots at all.

Ok, you didn't read the manual carefully. Why on earth did you run the Hack Kit if you were rooted and not on a stock rom..Hack Kit is for stock devices.

Now you have to find a RUU for your phone, revert to stock and then just run the Hack Kit. But make sure this time you carefully read the manual.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95mediatech:
Seems a lot of you are having the same problems I had with using Sony PC Companion to restore your phone.

Here is the proper method.

Follow these instructions STEP BY STEP, and you will eventually restore your X8 to its original state:

- Turn off the phone, and unplug it from the PC !

- On your PC, uninstall Sony PC Companion

- Restart your PC

- On your PC, clean any Cache and Registry related to Sony PC Companion, then restart PC again.

- Reinstall Sony PC Companion by downloading it from here

- Turn on Sony PC Companion on your PC

- In Sony PC Companion, enter the Support Zone tab

- Go to Update Phone Software

A window will pop out, saying that it cannot find your phone

- Click on Fix Phone

- Click on Continue

A window will pop out, saying that you will lose all your data

- TICK the BOX

- Click on continue

An update process will began.

Wait for it to show a window with all the SONY mobile phones

- Find your phone (X8)

- Click on the phone.

Now all you have to do is follow the on-screen instructions. It will tell you to hold the back button and plug your turned-off X8 to the PC, then it will erase everything, and download the original 2.1 ROM to your X8.

If Sony PC Companion STILL doesn't recognize your X8, then, uninstall Sony PC Companion AGAIN, and start the above described process AGAIN. It WILL eventually work!

My Phone Worked! once i flashed a Custom Kernel ROM into Stock! Good Luck.
