I feel tempted not to post ever since i reached my 666th post. I liked that! Hahah, either way...

I would really recommend a cover for this phone, if you're like me, you'll be a victim of spontaneous human combustion if the back glass cracks.

I'm probably a month or more away from a phone, i already have a front screen protector and one for the back.
[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
it was hard to watch a rare specie of smartphones being drop tested.

i am kind of relieved to know it would withstand a waist high fall.
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
I thought it was a goner on the first drop lol xD
[Nexus 4 General] shaneydroid:
MAY withstand. But then it could survive a higher drop and break on a much smaller drop. So many variables.

My son dropped his iPad countless times and never suffered a single scratch on the glass and just minor scratches on the back. He even once dropped it down the stairs and still it remained in one piece.

The one day it fell off his knee in the car and dropped 18 inches to the floor and the front completely shattered.
[Nexus 4 General] SevenSe7enSeven:
Knowing how the phone looks dissembled I wonder if there will be a way to take the glass off the back keeping all the wireless charging, antenna and replace with 3rd party glass.

I know with the 4s it was very simple to replace the glass back.

Both of those use GG so it should be a good comparison.
[Nexus 4 General] Anubis007:
yes very true, this Nexus took the damage from its side on the first drop test. on the bright side, the impact didn't fracture the glass, something that i feared.
[Nexus 4 General] thered1:
I don't like the fact that this phone has a glass back. What is the point? Style? It is just anotehr thing to shatter. Apple set a bad precedent and as fantastic as this phone is, I'd rather have it more durable.
[Nexus 4 General] Luxferro:
Same here. I wish there was a plastic back for it. Glass is in no way a superior material, for structural integrity.
[Nexus 4 General] Venekor:
This is why making the back out of glass is a ****ing stupid idea.

Just use Plastic, it's durable.
[Nexus 4 General] wmka2000:
What if I just remove this back glass when bricked, is that possible? I am talking to nexus 4 owner cause I am still in Limbo:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] mjybarr:
Lol! That's awesome!
[Nexus 4 General] Galactic2:
So people buy phones.... just to break them? smh
[Nexus 4 General] mohit1234:
Was wondering the same thing... if u remove the back glass, would it be possible to replace it with plastic or something? Would removing the glass have any effect on the phone, ie in network/gps etc?

Plus, is the shiny pattern under the glass or on the glass?
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
I saw in a tear down that many of the essentials (cave remember specifics) are in the back, so I would think that replacing it is out of the question.
[Nexus 4 General] mohit1234:
I wasn't implying on replacing/removing the entire back, just removing the glass from it..
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
Why does Google insist that the back is Gorilla Glass when it's obviously NOT? Gorilla Glass doesn't shatter like that...it make a couple long big cracks. It is definitely not Gorilla Glass. Kind of pisses me off.
[Nexus 4 General] cchap07:
That is pretty good, but as was already mentioned there are a lot of variables to consider. If it had fallen exactly on the back it probably would have broken.

On another aspect I am over here dying to get the phone and this fool is dropping a perfectly good one. I
[Nexus 4 General] [armitage]:
This was actually my first thought.

Why does the back shatter,but the front is perfectly fine?

Not one single scratch(afais) on the front,but the back is completely f-ed.

I mean I get that glass,even gorilla glass can shatter when it's dropped from some height,but again,one has to ask why the front didn't even get a scratch.

It has to be different glass...
[Nexus 4 General] :
Gorilla Glass is still glass so someone must have lied to you, the S2 and S3 and every other phone that uses GG can shatter depends on the nature of the impact, its just tougher but not impervious to breaks, I hope your not gonna use its never happened to me or people I know cause that's a poor argument
[Nexus 4 General] pinkman1:
i am sorry but i don't like thus test... treat N4 nice and put a cover :)
[Nexus 4 General] White_Pointer:
I'm thinking of getting one of these phones for my wife, as she wants an Android phone to install toddler apps on to keep our 2 1/2 year old daughter amused. As you with toddlers know, they happen to have a tendency of dropping phone-shaped objects.

I was worried that the glass backing would mean this phone would shatter into a million pieces if it was dropped so I found this video very informational. Believe it or not I wanted to see a Nexus 4 drop test video!
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Not sure if you want to use a full glass phone to give to a toddler.

As for why the back seems to break first I think it is because it is weaker due to the speaker cut out.

I'd rather shut the f up every cry baby about a glass BACK and deal witg the outcry from "he broke the phone I can't have".

Notice the back in caps, its because we've had glass front forever and no one complained, and believed me, I don't give a flying **** if my back breaks compared to my front.
[Nexus 4 General] LordGenki:
It looks like the back cracked while the front didn't because the phone landed on its back (you can see it best in the slow motion video filmed by the nokia camera). Since cracks are most likely to form from the initial impact, it makes sense that the back cracked but the front didn't.

I realize this is just anecdotal evidence, but... I have one friend that shattered the front of their iphone when they dropped it but the back of the device was just fine. I had another friend that dropped their iphone and shattered the back, but the screen was perfectly fine. How the phone gets damaged will depend largely on how the phone hits the ground.
[Nexus 4 General] lokenok:
cool the glass didnt crack but the lens did. :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Kenneth131:
OK I am on the BO list just now and welcome this video we all really want to know how it will fair but wouldn't try it with our own units.

So thank you

Secondly I have to agree that there is either an issue with the type of glass used on the back. The thickness of the glass on the back OR more likely the ability of of the frame to take the shock away from the glass.

The glass on the front will be much more ridged and have impact points where as the back looks like it would have more flex and thus the glass will endure far more stress on the back before the front.

Also I suspect the glass on the back is thinner

Phones just arent what they used to be. I left my old G1 on the car roof once and drove off. Found it on the floor by retracing steps, no damage. I doubt many phones now would survive stuff like this.

then again I guess if phones break more, they sell more!

Interesting you mention this, had a conversation not too long ago where the topic was cars just aren't as durable as they used to be, the cars are paper thin, like Toyota's but as you mentioned it does spur on more sales of spare parts so more money to go around

As said many times there are so many variables it's a pointless test. This chap should spend less on breaking phones and buy him self some new shoes..
[Nexus 4 General] Nickel Dime Bay:
This made me hold my nexi close to me
[Nexus 4 General] donec:
Maybe the back breaks easier because the front has the layers of film like the touch screen and the display layer attached/embedded. Could these layers provide the side effect of making the front stronger?
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
That actually does seam reasonable.
[Nexus 4 General] mostling:
Dude needs to buy new shoes, specially since they almost got more screen time than the phone...
[Nexus 4 General] xchasa:
Wow..

A glass phone smashes when dropped from ear height to a cobble surface.

Why are ppl surprised by this??

If I dropped my Tag from an equal height the sapphire quartz would be lucky to survive. That's tough ****.

Toughened glass products usually have very weak edges. The droptest shows that. The back glass edge makes first contact and absorbs most of the impact. So it shattered.

I've seen 12mm thick glass sheets explode when an edge is just touched by something.

Best advice is have insurance and enjoy it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] gorelow:
can anyone tell me if it s worth spending 50 dollars on the otterbox? is there another that does the job and if not whats the best otterbox to protect this thing. and dang when will phone makers start using gorilla glass. thanks guys
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Skripka:
Last I knew Otterbox wasn't shipping Note2 cases until December. Seido already is. GG has been used for years.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alex1123:
You can usually find Otter boxes way cheaper on amazon around 30 $ for defenders and Otter boxes are awesome because of theyre customer support say your case breaks or rips or anything they'll replace it. But 50$ no thanks also yeah sedio has goos cases but hopefully they quit using cheap silicon
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] KaliS-Pugilist:
otterbox fits have excellent customer care, and they need it. The rubber of their defender case becomes loose.

They replaced it once and I haven't called about the second because I came to the gn2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] smark72:
Tpu cases are fine unless you plan on throwing your phone across the room. I have always gone with tpu and dropped my phone several times with no damage whatsoever. I guess if I worked construction or something the otterbox would be good, otherwise I feel it is too bulky. $50 vs. 5 to $10.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
Alright question for some devs or some peeps that understand architecture better then I do..

I am playing with undervolting,

so I set my max and min cpu speed to say1400, then I can successfully lower the voltage to something crazy like 800 mV (which i know should never work) but it does.. until the cpu tries to switch to a different level.

If i turn the screen off and back on, it works just fine, but if i turn it on long enough to hit deep sleep it wont turn back on.

Now is this because the voltage has not infact been changed until the cpu switches off that frequency and back onto it, or is this because there is more strain on the cpu when it first switches?

i can successfully boot into 1400 mhz at 850 mv. but im assuming again that set on boot isnt occuring till after the processor is already in 1400 mhz at the default mv and it wont switch till it gets off that freq and back on..?

Thanks for some input guys

Good thread..thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
its almost like you didnt read my post.

I am not asking how to undervolt.. If you read what I posted youd be shocked to see it work too. but more then likely it cant dynamically change the voltage and just needs to switch off it and back on to try the new voltage.

I did however ask HOW to undervolt the gpu
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lmike6453:
You stated that you were having issues with the phone not waking from deep sleep at 800mv.

Even though I couldn't answer your question in full, the link I posted will show you that multiple users could only get a stable undervolt of 813mv...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
800 mv at 1400 MHZ

and i stated that I KNEW it should not work. but then again running at that clockspeed/voltage at all should be impossible..

all i wanted to confirm was that it does r doesnt alter the voltage while the processor is fixed on that clockspeed.

go try it, set your min and max to 1400 then drop the voltage to 800mv. it will keep wrking FINE, if u did one cpu jump it would restart.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gundal:
oh and btw. I am running 750 mv at 200 and 775mv at 300 and its 100% stable, got 26 hours of battery life with 4 hours of talk time on that, and over 3 hours was spent at 200 mhz

Hi,

So on my old nexus galaxy, I backed up a couple of my apps with Titanium backup (minecraft, keepsafe). I then uploaded the titanium backup folder to dropbox. When I got my nexus 4 I downloaded the copy of the backup folder from dropbox, and then I restored the two apps app and data. The app restores fine, but there is NO data from the apps. For example I go to the Minecraft worlds folder and its empty. Does titanium not backup data on sd cards? The backup zips seem to be large...

THanks,

Michael
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KiNG OMaR:
Titanium will backup the app and it's data, it will not backup and restore anything saved to an SD card, which is where that type of game data would reside.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Try creating a game and saving it. Once you find it, copy the files from your sd card to the folder where your new save was created.

Hey,

Ive got my note 2 over a bit more then a week and didnt noticed the bug untill i changed my homescreen background and lockscreen as well. since the samsung backgrounds that comes with the handset are bright pictures you ll never notice this.

I mostly set for both home and lockscreen the same picture.

For the example i used a plain black wallpaper.

What you see is with lockscreen and after with lockscreen unlocked.

when you see the pics you ll understand and since ith not on the home screen i wonder is this a known (software)bug since i cant explain it otherwise.

Dont mind the background lightness its cuz off the amount off light taken in to my lens. this picture r taken with full brightness , tried it with lowest brightness too but bug stays.

To the mods sorry if there's already a topic on this , then just delete it , or if its not in the appropiate forum.

Can someone try it to see if its just me or ....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadfishGTB:
I can't see the pics but I'm guessing you're referring to the strange light patches on the left of the lock screen if using a dark/Black background?

I have the same issue(running a pure Black background for lock screen and wallpaper)

Is certainly not a hardware fault which I was initially concerned about as the patches don't show on a blank homepage. .. must be a software bug with the lock screen

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Rydian:
Intro: I'm on the official Jelly Bean update, and by updating lost the root I had on ICS. I was one of the unfortunate users that backed up with an older version of Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, before the program updated to account for the JB changes, so my root got wiped even though it was backed up. Well I'm tired of sitting around waiting for exploits, and I treat my tablet with care anyways, so I figure it's finally time to take the plunge and unlock so I can root the thing, right?

Plan: According to this thread, I should run the unlock tool and then flash TWRP, after that I'll be free to flash custom updates and/or replace the whole OS/ROM.

Question: Do I really need to change ROMs in order to root? I've read vague mentions of flashing a zip with the su executable and such, if that works for an unlocked TF201 with the stock JB ROM, that'd save me a lot of trouble of backing up my apps and all that jazz. Does anybody have any info on this?

EDIT: Okay, it seems I can't do it right now. I'm currently getting network access via bluetooth tethering (pdanet app), but the unlock tool seems to explicitly demand wifi, as it tells me there's no network connection available even when I can browse just fine in the browsers and such... so this will have to wait until I can access some wifi.

To unlock bootloader and root the inc4g I need to use:

2) Follow Quick how-to temproot (written by captainrewind), dl Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v16

This should do it, yes? S-OFF etc...

just follow the OP

Ahh okay. Will we need S-off in the future? So unlocking the bootloader gives you root? What is the point of #2? Lastly, are you a member of the unrevoked team?
