[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
The glass is not creaking, that is the plastic creaking. If you remove the back of the phone you can see that its a plastic shell with a thin layer of glass over the plastic on the back. Mine has a small creak after taking it apart but I'm not too worried about it... Its just the nature of the design and materials. Mine only seems to freak if I'm trying to press down on a top near the top right corner... And area I never touch. You could pay 50-100 bucks on a new back cover and get rid of the creak if its bothering you and still pay less than the price of a new similar top tier phone... Unsubsidized of course.
[Nexus 4 General] nyijedi:
Correct. More specifically, it's the plastic creaking near where it meets the front glass. I "fixed" this in the lower left for a while by applying a small amount of crazy glue between the plastic and the front glass in the area that it was creaking, however, over a month or two, the creaking came back as the bond was broken.

I took insurance on my phone. It covers damage and theft worldwide :)
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
My advice is to stop squeezing it for the specific reason of hearing it creak.... highly doubtful it creaks loudly enough to even hear when holding it normally.

I have never had an issue but decided to just see if I could get a creak. Sure enough of I squeeze purposefully around the edges it creaks a bit. Not one have I ever heard anything while using the phone normally and that includes tons of gaming.

Just stop looking for stupid creaks and you will be fine.

[Nexus 4 General] illmatic416:
Yes of course we would, but because the iPhone5(or 4) doesn't creak, we don't complain.

The best fix for this is opening the Nexus4 up and applying 2 layers of electrical tape to areas that you find where it creaks. The problem is there is a small minuscule gap between the cheap back cover plastic and the main body. I had one Nexus RMA that didn't creak...rock solid, however the damn thing had a loose charger port that wouldn't charge or sync consistently. There is no fix for the soft touch plastic sides that crackle or creak when pushed upon if you have that issue. When the Nexus4 was announced as two sides of glass, I was excited and thought iPhone build quality here we come and dumped the GNex....:(
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
The Nexus 4 doesn't creak for most people :confused: and while it doesn't quite convey the impression of 'solidness' the iPhone 4/4S does, that's probably more due to the density of the device than anything, I can't say it feels less 'well made' to me... If anything, I'd say the Nexus 4 is the most impeccable bit of design and apparent build quality in a phone I've seen outside of Apple and Nokia's realms. That doesn't mean it's what I'd choose design-wise (I preferred the chassis of the One X - far grippier and looks more drop friendly but without that 'cheap' feeling Samsung devices have) and likewise I wouldn't want to drop a Nexus 4 or an iPhone 4/4S on the pavement! :D I still reckon my creaky old Atrix would win that test.
[Nexus 4 General] P8TRIOT:
I also used this procedure....WOW! High quality feel no creaks. I used three pieces of electrical tape put the thing back together, I am so glad I got the guts to do this you will not be disappointed if you use this procedure.
[Nexus 4 General] ReconPeon:
I had my doubts, but I can now vouch for this as well. It makes the thing feel solid as a rock.
[Nexus 4 General] justFaisal:
It could be the CPU heat which flexed the plastic or maybe the glue between the glass and plastic on the top melted a little.

OR

The CPU is located near the camera and its not attached to the metal frame inside, there is a small gap between them to prevent CPU heat going to the LCD, maybe that's what making this noise when you press it?
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Where exactly are you applying the tape? Do you stick it along the inside of the soft touch area on the back cover or a really thin piece along the screen/chassis below the bezel? Just trying to get an idea here.

Mine has a small creak area in the top of the device near the right side.
[Nexus 4 General] ReconPeon:
I stuck it to the chassis rather than the back cover. It works perfectly. Just make sure you don't cover up any of the slots where the cover clips onto the chassis. It is really easy and it works really well. My phone developed another squeak by the volume rocker and the tape completely remedied that as well. Basically, they should have made it a tighter fit from the factory and we wouldn't have this problem.
[Nexus 4 General] P8TRIOT:
No problem brother, now see this! (sorry for how large they are, didn't have time to scale it down...ie. too lazy)

Without Tape With Tape With electrical tape (3 pieces laid one over the other)
[Nexus 4 General] baolongn:
mine is creaking all around the speaker grill and USB port. Its annoying because as I type in both landscape and potrait, it clicks incessantly. I bought a google nexus 4 bumper and it seems to solve the issue but its still a tad bit bothersome.

I sent a request for a RMA a few days ago but the representative tried to convince me that its not a warranty issue and that it's not covered. Are they justified for saying so? I feel its not as it is an obvious manufacturing defect.
[Nexus 4 General] mgymnop:
Crackling noise above the volume and power button. Not enough for RMA it. Don't want to get a N4 with buzzing earpiece or worse defects.
[Nexus 4 General] drixtab:
I just observed the same as with mine. Called google and the first rep immediately sent me off to LG from which I was told to take it back to google as it is still in warranty. Got lucky and talked to somebody more helpful and I explained the problem. After about 5 minutes or so, I was talking to an RMA specialist and my replacement phone is on the way. BTW, had my N4 for about 4 mos already.

As for the first rep, I left a negative review on the survey.
[Nexus 4 General] Krunk83:
I've had five nexus 4s(One new and four RMAs), 4 of which creaked including the one I have now. The only one that didn't was the RMA I got where the screen was unresponsive in certain areas and I didn't have it long enough for it to start creaking.

Just an FYI, expect your RMA model to creak eventually as well.
[Nexus 4 General] baolongn:
Yup. My new RMA device has officially started to creak. However, I'm getting used to the fact that all their phone probably do this.
[Nexus 4 General] TheCIScommander:
Fixed it I think

Mine was creaking like you wouldn't believe. Seriously it was worse than a galaxy s3 or galaxy nexus. Take off the back panel carefully (don't use a screwdriver it will scratch the paint-learned that the hard way) and flex the black plastic in a bit. Then put it back on. Haven't had any issues (albeit I just did it right now, but whatever) There may be a little bit left, but it should mostly go away.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verbeek75:
Yesterday, my S3 downloaded the JB OTA and now it want to install it, but based on all the problems people are have regarding battery charging, running low fast, etc. I decided that I don't want to install as I'm quite happy with ICS and under the motto if it ain't broken don't fix it.

But it keeps giving me notifications for me to install the upgrade, I can only delay it up to 3 hours every time, so how can I delete the upgrade?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crazy_Snoopy:
try going to settings -> app manager -> Switch to Tab "All", there you'll find an app "Software Update"... Try clearing the cache, and you can uncheck the "Show Notification"-box, which might hopefully solve your problem.

you can also turn of the autoupdate feature in order to prevent your phone from search for further updates.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verbeek75:
thanks, that seems to have done the trick I will wait with JB untill they fixed most of the problems

Just tried using the backside of my nail on my OG Evo... worked fine. The tip of my nail also works but i suspect the tip of my finger is also barely touching the screen so I angled my finger more extremely so it was only the nail. Still works both ways. That will be disappointing if the N4 touchscreen can't do this...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjeffery:
I'm guessing you don't have an N4 yet, because it absolutely will not register touch via your nails.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] nyzer:
I believe the shock is too hard on the Glide when I pop my keyboard open. This results in the Glide to turn off as if it was dropped or something.

I have noticed the phone to turn off as well when I put in my pocket and after a while notice I did not recevie any notifications because it is turned off.

Does anybody else noticed this with their Glide? And is there a way to solve this? My Glide works perfectly if I am really careful, but I also want to be able to not have to check every time I put my phone down on a table.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Alex2221:
I noticed this aswell, but my one just restarts sometimes.

But I'm not sure whether it is related to a shock or something like that.

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Godfrd824:
This happens with my HTC Dream, it's the battery, it becomes warped, tape some card stock to the top of the battery and the problem should go away.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] nyzer:
Thank you for both your answers. I will try out your solution and post if it works. (Running on stock btw)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] nyzer:
Who would have know that a little piece of paper taped to the battery of the Glide would fix a problem this easy! After a week of regular use and testing no sudden restarts or a sudden turned off Glide. Thanks man!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] amitb96:
Hello everyone!

I bought my XPERIA P a few months ago, I got very excited because it is an awsome device and all,and I thought that it will have a lot of development.

Unfortunately , there is very little development to XPERIA P, and at first I thought that it was a new device, but now it's not so new,

So why is there so little development for XPERIA P? Even XPERIA U which has smaller screen and less ram has much more development :rolleyes:

Anyone has an answer? :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Rapier07:
Because the devs don't own the device or aren't interested in it. Do this, pick out your favorite devs, donate the phone to each of them, they'll develop. Sounds good?

the bootloader is also a factor for sony devices,which ristricts some users who cant install roms that requires bootloader unlocked,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ilgreco112:
But bootloader is so Easy to unlock. So as there are developers for the Samsung device can't they help?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] M_247:
The main thing is bootloader...

And the file type ftf for Sony...

It's quite easy to work with Samsung roms with a simple compressed files like tar than with ftf...

And XP is getting the dev work slowly I think...

So, wait.... For some more time...

I love the stock (samsung?) calendar as I am able to hover over events, and its ease of use. I also use a lot of the task/todo function it offers, but I notice that it does not sync with google tasks... which is not a biggie... but what I do want is a home screen widget to display tasks.

Is there a widget to that will display the (samsung?) calendar todo list to display on one of my home screens?

Hi, im using Neo V and when I flash a new rom to try I cannot reach my recovery and I install it again. I didn't unlocked bootloader, I don't know why I can't reach my recovery after flashing a new rom but, I want to solve this problem. I'm using X-Parts to install CWM and I installed Stock ICS Recovery. There are 2 more cwm that we can select. What should I do? I don't want to install it again and again.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Samak:
Recovery is located at system partition... when u install a new rom, at first u format the system partition, that’s why u have to install recovery once again after flashing rom.. A custom kernel has built in recovery, but u needs unlocked bootloader to flash custom kernels...

here's a link that explains it all

and part of the convo with dees_troy is below

<Dees_Troy> Nope, it will *never* work on a data/media device

<Dees_Troy> read and learn: http://teamw.in/DataMedia

<WinBot> [Link] http://tinyw.in/lstO :: What is a data media device? | TeamWin

<Dees_Troy> definitely worth understanding

<Dees_Troy> at some point we're going to try to kang in MTP for recovery

<Lloir> so for now then it's sideload or from inside the rom

<Dees_Troy> or adb push

<Lloir> aye

<Dees_Troy> or gtfo ;)

<*****> so cant mount usb storage with newer devices...hmm one x did guess this is where confusion at least on my part came to be

<Lloir> lmao Dees_Troy

<Dees_Troy> one x wasn't a data media device

YOU MUST either transfer the rom\boot\porn\audio\mods while the phone is on or use adb push or even sideload when in recovery,

THIS IS THE ONLY

way

Today I noticed that although I have my wifi turned off, from time to time throughout the day it randomly turns on without me doing anything. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm thinking it may be some app or another turning it on, but I'm at work right now and don't really have time to troubleshoot it.

I've attached all the tools that I used to update my baseband, I'm assuming that's what you're doing since you're using the kdz updater.

use nvflash to revert to stock recovery and stock 2.3.4

If you're on windows, do this step as well: go to windows/system32/drivers/etc

there you'll find a file named hosts, open it in notepad and add this line to the bottom (if it's not there already) 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com and save

Now extract the attached zip and open the instructions document and follow it.

You should be good.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] etnpnys:
Hi - I haven't purchased the phone yet. I'm about to upgrade and I have a few questions for those of you in the know! What I want in my next phone is this:

Adequate internal memory (at least 16GB)

Great performance

Great camera

Pure Android

I value the "Pure Android" experience so much that I'm considering a GNex as well. But the camera and the slower performance of that phone have me doubting... So I'm thinking about getting the S3 and just putting stock JellyBean on it. If I do that, do I lose some of the benefits that I'm looking for? Namely, does the quality of photos taken with the phone suffer at all? Or does the performance take a hit at all because it doesn't have the TW optimizations?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Speedin07si:
Simple answer nope.

You can try a asop Rom. Like cm10.
