Go to play store and download an app called picspeed wallpapers. Use that app to set your wallpapers don't use the stock, it sucks. You don't need to use their wallpaper but you can use the app to set your wallpaper from your gallery.

Let me get this straight, one hour of GPS use killed your battery?
[Nexus 4 General] 309041291a:
Even with a little sync, data always on, GPS, and half brightness the battery will suffer hugely compared to disabling data when not in use, no sync, GPS off, and lowest brightness :P.

You could pull a lot better times. Still, I agree the battery seeks to be a disappointment. I believe there is a new governor introduced on the N4 because it only seems to stay at it's highest and lowest values... So with some kernels in development hopefully the. Attery gets better!

[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
if it wasn't for the poor battery life which i think will hugely improve with an update from Google, would you choose the Nexus 4 over the Note 2? i am asking because i will paying the price of the Note 2 on this Nexus since i don't have Google Play in my country.
[Nexus 4 General] 309041291a:
Nexus. Just wait, once developers start popping out kernels the battery will be better. I've even seen people currently pull 4-5+ hours screen time in 18-22 hours.

you must have a rogue app or something...killing a full battery with gps on for just 1 hour doesn't sound right
[Nexus 4 General] dieselfatal:
Nexus 4 is a better phone FOR ME and what it has to offer. I had Note 2 before and yes the screen size is nice and all and the S Pen features but Nexus 4 is just better. Faster, snappier and its fast in a good way I cant describe it. And the display cannot be compared. But you will suffer with poor battery life non removable and no SD. This can be fixed. Charge battery more and use DropCloud.

Dropbox I meant. DropCloud where did I get this from hahaha :D

[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
thanks, it feels good to hear that since many people call me crazy for choosing the Nexus over the Note 2. i don't care for the insane amount of storage since i am no gamer and i don't have thousand of hours of music. i just know this Nexus has a very capable hardware (including battery size) and that's all what matters i guess.

Please dont hijack my thread with negative comments bro. This is Nexus 4 section. I make good money so I rock with whatevers the best. Had Note 2 and GS3 was impressed. Nexus 4 dethroned em both. Move on.
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
If you are paying the same amount gor both phones. Note 2 is a much better and more powerful phone. Pure Android experience is great and all but the features of Note 2 is worth more than just that.

Nexus 4 sucks

I've had numerous problems with the wifi on mine, totally fed up with it. Not a patch on my old HTC DESIRE HD.
[Nexus 4 General] dieselfatal:
Can you please explain more powerful ? Ive had Note 2 International version since launch date from Expansys USA and Nexus 4 is faster and more fluid. And features ? Like gestures and SPen that people never use ?
[Nexus 4 General] partylikeaninjastar:
Is that one of GPS with the screen on or the screen off? When I use GPS, I make a habit of turning the screen off when not looking at it. What's your habit?
[Nexus 4 General] qwahchees:
Honestly, the GS3 had 3-4 hrs screen time + 15 hr total time (Undervolted, and what not)

I've heard this phone can handle 4-6, which is already buying it for me. (All brightness's set on Auto).

With kernel uv and what not, we'll probably see even longer.
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
5 very simple reasons. Larger more beautiful display, expandable memory (why find ways to fix that with N4 when with Note 2 you can easily get upto 64GB more), Multi Window feature, (most times that comes in handy alot, makes my life easier), better camera hands down and longer battery life. Just these 5 reasons alone make it more powerful of a phone and if someone is paying the same amount for both it would be better to get a note 2. Also S Pen maybe wasnt alot of use to you but than again it just might be to others.

Also smart dock makes it to get even more use out of it and it has the power to back it up. But thats personal choice and an extra 100.

Anyways this is only to the person who was deciding between the two phones. Not for you, you already have an "unbiased" review up. :)

That's really weird how 1 hour of gps use kills your battery...My g2x doesn't even do that....
[Nexus 4 General] dieselfatal:
Its unbiased but honest. You cant say the display is better when the display is bigger 5'5 inch which gets a lot less ppi than N4. Have you seen N4 display in hand ?
[Nexus 4 General] Jamal Ahmed:
There must be an explanation for your GPS.Its impossible for a phone to last this less. All those people who are getting one full day on battery and all those battery test by websites on GPS were much better than that.

That must be your individual issue, not seen with anyone else. Dont include it in such a professional review man ;)

Love the review ;)
[Nexus 4 General] dieselfatal:
Another thing I don't get is why people who have Note 2 or GS3 come here and post and look to start a flame war and show their fanboyism ? You have the phone, enjoy it then. I don't see one reason why someone who is not looking to buy N4 comes in here and hijacks the thread ? You dont see me come in Note 2/GS3 section saying N4 is better. Do mods ever clear these things and give users warning or whatnot ?
[Nexus 4 General] powerwagon:
I came from the One X which in just about all categories is a nicer phone than the nexus 4 and I just switched to the Note 2 and am still amazed with this phone. Maybe the Nexus 4 is a great phone, but I would honestly spend your money on the Note 2 over the N4 if you had the choice for all the reasons above. Easier typing, easier to read text/news/Facebook etc even though resolution I lower... Battery life is absolutely ridiculous, I mean crazy ridiculous good (4.5hrs screen time and 10hrs off charger and I'm at 53%) and with Nova launcher running, I do not see how a phone could be any smoother/faster... Oh yeah, the s pen is definitely not useless. Nothing better than popping out the pen and jotting down a note while on the phone.

Good write up on the N4, although I think slightly biased :)
[Nexus 4 General] serialtoon:
Anyone notice how washed out the display is?
[Nexus 4 General] dieselfatal:
Battery is weak and you can notice battery drop by looking at the battery in notification bar. Its not good. I don't know what caused battery to die after 1 hour of GPS use but I drove from Boston to Connecticut and from Boston to Foxwoods (Casino) and it was nearly dead.
[Nexus 4 General] ferozfero:
i totally agree... its great to have these AMOLED vibrant colours in a phone..and honestly i belive the only place where vibrant colours are worth it ,are on a phone... but the fact that these screens get burn ins much much much more often than an lcd gets a dead pixel , is kindofa bummer... yes people will say theyv never had any burn ins.. but the fact is amoled screen WILL get burn in if u use it too long...especially with an os that has two static bars(status bar and nav bar).. with an lcd.. u dont hav to worry bout the brightness u set the display at, the gamma of RGB u set as(which cant be done in lcd) ,..u dont have to worry bout any of that because it will not affect the display performance or life... that freedom alone is reason to switch to a beautifull ips display... and if amoled is pentile.. then its a no brainer... anyone whose used a pentile will know any brightness below 50% isnt acceptable..
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
How is the even when outside in the sun? I need top user my phone outside often and my Gs1 with the super amoled screen was worthless. It was an amassing screen but not outside. I am hoping the nex 4 will fair better.

As for the battery, am hour? That does not sound bad, it sounds faulty. There must be something running that you are not aware of that is just draining the battery.

Great review.. Just ignore the jealous fanboys.. Saying you like it more than the note is awesome. That has always been my dream job. Unlike you I don't make good money.. lol are you hiring by any chance? hehe

How can I forget this ? One thing that always pissed me off with other phones was using it outside when its nice and bright and sunny. N4 has superior viewing angles and even at 20-30% of brightness Im able to see everything nice and clear. Im sure other N4 owners will agree with me.
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Have you played with the GPS a lot? How fast does it get your location?

I've had a S3 for 2 days and I'm amazed with the gps compared to my S2 which was pretty useless.

"Unbiased"

Hey,

Great review --- I definitely appreciate all the extra info I can get on the phone while I'm waiting for mine to come (Limbo level 3 here). Sorry for being "that guy", but while the review is really nice, I disagree with how you are framing it as "unbiased". I think it is very biased --- not necessarily in a bad way though. For example, you say things like

where other people could (justifiably) disagree. "Lag" doesn't have a specific enough definition really. And things like

is of course just personal preference and (therefore) bias.

Anyway, it's not really your fault or anything --- the vast majority of reviews are biased in one way or another. And again, nice job!

PS Do you know if HSPA+ is good in Cambridge, too?
[Nexus 4 General] Venekor:
1 hour of GPS shouldn't kill your phone, I used GPS going from MK to Wembley when I had an iPhone 4 in an app called Skobbler and my battery will still over 80% when I got there and I used the net and took pictures and recorded video for hours. When I got home like 8 hours later my battery will still over 40%......

The battery life of the Nexus 4 is unacceptable, even my GS2 has great battery life and I carry an extra battery on me anyways because you can remove it lol.
[Nexus 4 General] aimetti:
Love the phone however battery life really does suck.

Aokp / Franco kernel plz !
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
Great review and all, but I must really disagree with you on any AMOLED being better than an IPS LCD. The only thing better is the color black. That's it. Even RGB AMOLEDs. Do you want proof? Well, you said that the Nexus 4 has a better screen than the Note 2 in your review. Guess what? The Note 2 is actually RGB (non-pentile) AMOLED, just like the Galaxy S2 ;)
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
Nice in depth review op! Cool and enjoy this high end device!!
[Nexus 4 General] tariqgibran:
Hmm, my Nexus 4 has decent battery life

Though I have only had it for two days, I'm not noticing poor battery life at all out of the Nexus 4. Yesterday, the phone lasted all day - and that day consisted of over an hour of navigation/ GPS, photos (many with flash) and HD video, web browsing and maybe two hours of talk time. There is either a software issue or a defective battery if the phone is only giving 1 hour using GPS as that's certainly not the case with the one I have.

So far, the two most impressive aspects of the Nexus 4 imo are noticeably better signal reception (as compared to Nexus 1, HTC Sensation and my wifes Samsung Galaxy SIII) and superb call/ voice quality . I'm in an area with HSPA and the Nexus 4 will lock onto HSPA and deliver much faster speeds than any other phone I have used. GPS seems to be very accurate but I need to use it more to see for sure. I also have not used it enough yet to judge audio quality and bluetooth (my Nexus 1 was very strong in both areas). The screen is alright imo. It can have a slight brownish/ yellowish tint with gray backgrounds, particularly noticeable in web browsers and, unlike the best IPS displays (I'm a photographer so I'm probably more sensitive to this), this tint changes dramatically with viewing angle. Hopefully, someone will release a app to tweak the color. There was a great one for the Nexus 1 (a display I still find unequaled in a phone overall).
[Nexus 4 General] MultiLockOn:
Im going to agree with you on everything except the display. From what I've seen the blanks in this aren't spectacular in any sense, and the colors seem pretty washed out. I'd take the note 2 display any day. And if your going the non amoled route then the super lcd panel is the way to go, etc htc one x. Also, I find the lack of sensitivity on the screen to be frustrating. Aside from that it's

A great phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
i think you are underestimating the Nexus 4 display. according to Anandtech review, the blacks on this display is greater than any LCD display on a phone and the contrast ratio is slightly higher than that of the HTC One X and the iPhone 5, while slightly falling behind in brightness. although they say " Google continues to struggle at calibrating their displays", it doesn't change the fact that is one of the best display tech out there.

at the end it's a matter of taste when it comes to Amoled vs LCD.
[Nexus 4 General] MultiLockOn:
I've spent quite a bit of time with this phone :) I still believe the one x has the best screen, better than this phone even. Followed by the note 2, and I'll give this phone a close third. Don't get me wrong, it's a brilliant phone. But I'm a sucker for amoled. Anyone who says they want 'true color reproduction' is stupid frankly. The saturated colors on amoled panels are fantastic, it's not like we're designing graphic arts on our phones
[Nexus 4 General] Dan37tz:
Did the OP really own a Note 2?

I'm a little skeptical, maybe he owned an S3 and assumed it was the same hardware so he said he owned one also.

1st clue was that he classified the S3 and the Note 2 as being the same screen quality. If he really did own both, he would know the Note 2's screen is non-pentile and is MUCH brighter, sharper and beautiful than the pentile S3's. Seriously.

2nd clue was he said the N4 was "10x" faster than the Note 2. I call BS.

There comes a point where phones UI's can't get any smoother and the Note 2 is there. Seriously it is as fluid in operation, browser and everything like the iPhone 5, swiping between homescreen is even faster than the iPhone 5. How can you get 10x smoother than that? If he had one, he probably had power saving mode enabled the whole time. Project butter is part of Jellybean and it's on the Note 2.

He claims nobody uses the S-Pen. I disagree completely, I never used the S-Pen on my Note 1 because honestly it sucked. The Note 2's S-Pen is on a whole different planet. It is accurate, very sensitive and airview is awesome when browsing. Writing with it now feels like a real pen, I don't even text anymore, I just write it, and the handwriting recognition is amazingly accurate. I honestly LOVE the S-Pen on the Note 2 (hated it on the Note 1), I use it all the time.

Multi-window true multitasking, battery life, adobe flash support and expandable storage sh1ts all over the "pure" android on the N4.

My Nexus 4 16GB arrives tomorrow afternoon, and my HTC DNA arrives on Wednesday. My company allows me to get the latest and greatest smartphones to test out, tear down, x-ray and document. I get to keep the phones afterwards. I'll tell you now, it would need to take a much better phone than the Nexus 4 to pry away the Note 2 from my cold dead hands. The HTC DNA "might" give me second thoughts, but I won't know until I get my hands on it.
[Nexus 4 General] cchap07:
Battle or run? Lol :)
[Nexus 4 General] dieselfatal:
Hahaha. Thats all Ive got to say on your reply. I don't rely on a company to give me phones brah. I went out and bought N4 retail price...had S3 and Note 2 from Expansys USA. I buy phones off contract retail price. Your reply screams nothing but a HATER lol. You claim you own everyphone and speak so highly of N2 but yet you wanna get N4 and have nothing better to say then hijack my thread about how N2 is superior to N4 which any true real Android fan knows its not true. Please go post in N2 section and dont hijack my thread. This is not N4 vs N2 so please dont reply anymore. It will only make you look silly. But to educate you on screen displays..

GS3 has 720x1080p SuperAMOLED HD PenTile display which is nothing special. Note 2 has regular SuperAMOLED Captivate display that was used in stone age. It only has higher resolution and 265ppi...while N4 has a much smaller screen...more PPI and better overall screen quality. My boy has TMobile Note 2 and when he saw N4 display he **** his pants. You cant fool me bro Im not amateur and neither are these people. And please I dont even want to talk about this 1080p crap on smartphones. Unless its a 40+ inch screen and at least 10 feet away viewing distance you wont be able to no notice ****. Sit in front of 720p HD and 1080p HD tv and you wont be able to tell the difference unless screen is bigger and viewing distance is proper. HTC and other companies will go 1080p because mobile screen resolutions are reaching their limit. After 1080p Watch Sony introduce 4K screen forExperia with 700ppi. BULL****.

IF you know anything about technology and if you tear down phones for living you would know that GS3/Note 2 displays cant touch N4 TrueHD IPS LCD 2 displays. Display is mostly all about RESOLUTION and natural REALISTIC color which LCD screens offer. But people get so HYPED up with the VIBRANT colors that AMOLED shows. Do you know what gaming companies test their games on ? LCD screens son, not Plasmas and Plasma is pretty much SuperAmoled.

So now that you got some education on screens go and write something on your Note 2. Why get N4 if you think Note 2 is th best thing since slice bread...

Oh yeah nevermind..you get the phones for free and tear them up.. Lmao...
[Nexus 4 General] Stryder5:
I haven't kept up with this thread but 1 hour on GPS sounds wrong. I had 45 minutes of navigation time and pulled out 15 hours on my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Do you really think the OP is stupid enough to confuse a 5.5" and 4.8" device, the difference must not be mind blowing between the two in screen quality, hence the assumption they are similar. Those assertions that Note 2 screen is "insert hyperbole" are not obvious and are mostly subjective. Every impression I've got from N4 owners who had S3 and Note 2 which are currently most revered Android phones are that its faster, also heard some Galaxy Nexus users who also own the S3 say the GNex is slightly smoother although the S3 definitely has better hardware. Just because you prefer one device over another for particular reasons doesn't make it better. Most people won't use S-Pen, your usage of it doesn't mean you represent the majority.

OP thanks for the review but I also think there must be some rogue app that is affecting battery life, one hour GPS usage shouldn't finish any phones battery
[Nexus 4 General] dieselfatal:
Well Im not sure what happened to my battery when I used GPS but it did take an hour that went from high 90+% to about 3-4% when I arrived. I use N4 heavily. Facebook..Instagram..Browse..Twitter..YouTube and with this heavy usage battery goes quick. People that take it easy with their N4 Im sure get decent battery time. I remember on my GS3 esp Note 2 I could do whatever the **** I wanted and I would never be able to run out.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Tariqgibran is also a Nexus 4 user and clearly he doesn't have the same problem that's why I think there must be something amiss with your apps or wakelocks. My experience on CM10 forums where the same ROM gets people claiming amazing battery life and other saying otherwise yet there is no difference except user apps between them means user error is the unique factor. Try install BBS (Better Battery Stats) and check whats going on under the hood

Take it easy guy, I dont think Dan was really bragging about how he gets his phones so I dont know why your bragging about how your paying cash for yours. All we really want is an honest review which at this point this thread is totally failing at. I own a note 2 currently but I am looking at picking up a n4 and giving the wife the note, thats why im in the nexus forum to read reviews (I think thats why alot of us are here) its just the way you titled your thread is whole lot different then whats actually being said but in the end im happy you enjoyed your purchase.
