[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyFZ1S:
1: Nokia Lumia 820 RM-825

2: Nice size, Works well, Fast&fluid, OS is familiar as used WP7 since day1, Tiles are cool, Colours are vivid, Screens responsive, Has a Micro sd slot & removeable battery, Can change covers, Weight is about right etc....

3: OS still needs polishing as early days along with improved battery life, Needs more accent colours for tiles, Still could do with custom alert tones etc.
[Nexus 4 General] AntonJart:
First things first: I love this device and would recommend buying it. But there are some minor issues that bother me a little, but do not make me hate this device at all.

Pros:

Its super fast! A lot of benchmarks show it to be slower than other similar devices, but trust me you will not notice it! This phone is flying like crazy! 5 days of use - not a single glitch!

Sexy design! It does look amazing in comparison to some other devices that I've owned (see my signature).

Beautiful display! Display on this baby is awesome. I watched YouTube and transformers video - quality is amazing.

Sound quality! Even though people were *****ing about small speaker opening, it still sounds great. I enjoyed listening to music, and it had no distortion.

Cons:

Front glass. On the first and second day I found new scratches on the front from regular use. People were telling me that its my fault... But please tell me - should a phone screen scratch just from being in the pocket or on the table? Why did my Galaxy SII never!!!!!!! Got scratched from the same use?

Battery life. Battery life is OK, but it is not what was advertised by Google (15 hours of talk time). I am down to 65% now after intensive use for 3 hours, with screen on 51%.

Loose parts. My phone, like most of other nexus 4s, has a loose part in the top of the phone.

Creaking. My phone creaks if I press on the bottom part, but it happens one in a long while from regular use - and does not bother me at all!

Creaking USB port. When I plug my USB cable, it seems to be bit loose and makes a creaking noise when I move it slightly. Not a big issue.

After all, the above CONS are not that bad. But, expecting a flagship Android device, I did not expect to see such minor design flaws.

I still recommend this device. Its awesome, and with time you won't notice these issues.

Update: 5 hours of moderate use. Few phone calls, few YouTube videos, a lot of typing. Some browsing. Screen on for 60%. Down to 49%. The phone is pretty warm on the top.
[Nexus 4 General] Rozza C:
Nice review.

With regards to battery life, I never take a manufacturer's word for what they claim. So I'm not surprised it falls short.

As for the screen, I'll be sure to pick up some protectors prior to my purchase (as I always do. :) )

The rest I can deal with..

Hey there, got my N4 this morning, its a good upgrade from the GNexus. I haven't had any problems so far, besides the GMail not syncing and the lack of a LED notification light. Or so I thought at first, its actually on, but incredibly dim, so I didn't even notice.

Is this just me?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warbs816:
It appears to just be you, my notification LED is rather bright, actually. Have you tried tweaking it with a third party app from the Play Store?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameslfc5:
Its dim in comparison to the Samsung LED for example the LED on my Note 2 is a lot brighter and more vivid
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lundqvist:
Thanks for the replies. Its very dim, even when I tried using Light Flow. I haven't installed any other app that may interfere with it.

In addition, my GMail syncs really slow.

I'm currently re-flashing the stock rom and maybe it'll be fixed.

Thanks

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] idividebyzero:
Its dim and it blinks unbelievably slow. I dont understand what they were thinking. Notification lights should be bright and obnoxious to.... notify you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lollicup04:
Has anyone found a fix for this yet? The notification light on mine only blinks once then stops. How is this suppose to notify me if I missed a message if it only flashes once and is extremly dim. The Samsung Led light are are way better. Is there going to be a patch for this problem?

Hello fellow RFDer - to the OP :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakejm79:
I used light flow with the custom flashing rate, set at 1000/1000 (so 1 second flashes with 1 second gaps) and it seems to work well. Setting any of the other settings (slow - fast) didn't make a difference. I really can't wait for CM where all these items are built in and we dont have to mess with 3rd party apps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lundqvist:
It worked for a while yesterday, now it stopped working. I've since installed Light Flow with no luck, have Light Manager right now (all free so far), but still without success. I've always been a Blackberry person and had a GNexus before, so I'd be lying if I said I wasn't spoiled with a working light.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkShadowAy:
Agreed, I'll be keeping an eye on this thread to see if anyone has any recommendations.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] florentnicoulaud:
Same thing for me, notification light worked fine the first day, then I rooted the phone and now it's very dim. LightFlow did not improve anything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drose6102:
Hmmm I noticed my light is super dim as well just like the pictures on the first page. Unlocked and rooted it before I got a notification though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheFiveDots:
Agreed it's dim.

The LED appears to be under the plastic in the bezel rather than displayed through a hole cut through it. Not sure adjusting brightness at the software level will have much of an impact.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcanant:
My led is dim as well

Mine is dim and glows really slow! Using Light Flow now, but still not as bright as the one in GNex.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pratopathak:
Hi all,

I have a similar issue:

My LED light flashes only when I get notifications relating to Facebook & Whatsapp.

It does not work for missed calls, Gmail messages, text messages or while charging!

I had installed Lightflow and it was a little buggy, but I think, the LED notification should still work for all types of notifications?

I have also factory reset the phone and have the pulse notification option under the display menu turned on, but still no success.

Any help/replies will be much appreciated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
I have no issues with using light flow.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pratopathak:
Thanks mate, how about without light flow? Does lightflow drain a lot of battery?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznxk3vi17:
Light Flow only drains battery when you leave a notification unchecked for long periods of time (i.e. the notification LED flashes for long periods of time). Naturally, the longer the LED flashes, the longer the wakelock.

In normal use, the battery hit is negligible (in my opinion).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pratopathak:
Thanks, I will try lightflow again.

On a separate note, is it normal behaviour for stock android devices to 'not' show notifications whilst the battery charges, missed calls, etc?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
I haven't noticed any excess battery drain with light flow. I have it set so the light goes off after 30 min. I honestly haven't tried the stock notification light, I installed light flow right away.

And the GN was even less bright than the nexus one, which was very obnoxious and lit up the whole room while sleeping. Ahh the memories!

Mine was really dim as well, it was like a hot purple color. I got it replaced and now its bright and white. Probably defected.

I have switched to Cyanogenmod nightlies ROM and my LED lights now work perfectly, LED notifications configuration is really simple in this new cyanogenmod ! I can configure any color and blinking speed and my LED is no longer dim!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpEnTBoY:
Silly question ... are you able to pass the control for the LED to applications? I like the fact that in Handcent I can specify different colors for different people etc. I also use NoLED so when I get notifications, not only do I know it's a text, based on the color of the LED I know who it's from.

That being said on the N4 it's kind of flakey in the stock image. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't (I have no idea why as I haven't been able to eliminate every variable) and to me the LED is dim. I's normally have gone right to CM but I've heard mixed reviews on battery life and right now stock has been amazing on battery :laugh:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] florentnicoulaud:
I don't know about delegating LED control to applications, as there is a default LED configured (if you enable LED notifications), you might not be able to override this from an app. To be tested though.

About battery life I have not noticed anything wrong with CM against stock, it's excellent.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Speedmaster_102:
how's the CM rom coming along?

it's a big thread, Im hoping CM is close to getting to RC! Im anxious to switch to CM!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VOLTAGEROCK:
Did you go into light flows settings and enable root mode, plus the Samsung s3 mode check box? Also, be careful if you uncheck Direct Mode because it will make your app superbasic and delete all settings you have now.

Mine works and I have it set to three different contacts w different colors for each on missed text, plus for k9 and Gmail, and a few others. I'm still trying to figure it all out and see if I can get it to work for all that I choose, like an led indicator while the phone is charging using a custom color in hopes that it works for every one. Only downside is waiting for it to cycle through all missed alerts which can take some time depending on how long you have each alert set: medium, fast, faster (you know what I mean).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PePPaZ:
Just stopping by to add my brand new Nexus 4 has a terribly dim and half functional LED light. It has not been rooted or modified in any way.

Also Light flow does not work at all.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VOLTAGEROCK:
It's supposed to work unrooted according to the email I got back from the developer. If you're trying to use it for texts, go to notifications, then go to the standard SMS apps icon and turn on Alternate On Monitoring. Of course you need to enable it first which is directly above. I use handcent, but it should work with your SMS app as well. Let me know if it helps. Also keep in mind that you will only have the color you choose as the SMS notification led for all texts, but still at least you will know you missed a text if you aren't by your phone and then see the led blinking. I'm using the free version too.

Just done 4.2 update after I was offered it.

However my Bluetooth now will not enable. The notification bar Bluetooth icon highlights but goes back to grey, the on/off slider in settings immediately goes back to off and the power widget BT icon does nothing.

Any ideas? Searched the board but all i could find were people with stuttering issues, not complete failure to activate bluetooth.

Thanks :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meisanerd:
Might be a stupid question, but have you tried rebooting the phone?

My phone ocassionally locks itself in "shutting off bluetooth" mode, but a reboot has always fixed it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CAM1L:
Some solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RoadHazard:
From what I've read the solution is to flash the factory image instead, or possibly just factory reset the phone.

But be aware that even with a cleanly flashed phone, BT has major issues in 4.2. Stuttering audio, disconnects, etc. Not everyone seems to be affected by this for whatever reason, but the new BT stack is definitely no hit.

Yeah, having the same exact issues. I'll wait for 4.2.1 before I flash any images.

Stock ICS kernel has a brick bug which could erase your phones critical files and render it useless. So when on ICS Stock roms always install a safe kernel.

Wiping in recovery when on a stock kernel is dangerous and can trigger the bug

easiest way to pay someone to add the MEID/ESN to their network for you, then tool around in QPST to program the settings and PRL you'll need to be on their network.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayhead996:
I tried a different battery and the same thing happened. Even before I ran into this problem, when I would hit that button combination this would happen. Does anybody know what power + volume up (not volume down) does?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuu~:
Did you have some problems with the volume rocker, especially with the vol+ button, recently?

It's the same that would have happened if you held down vol+ and power.

Also, which operation did you stop?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayhead996:
No problems with the volume keys but my phone always did that if I held the power button and the volume up. And I didn't stop any process I just typed in "stop", and hit enter
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuu~:
Hm, I just did exactly what you did.

-Ran "stop" in a root shell

-Display went black

-Pulled the battery

-Booted it up again

Didn't have any problems with it.

As far as I know, the flashing orange light at boot is triggered by the debug mode (vol+ and power, but you can't do anything in it) or a corrupted bootloader.

However, a corrupted bootloader caused by this command is very unlikely, since it doesn't actually do anything to the device's partition table.

Did you do anything to the bootloader or anything related to that before you hit stop? You might have screwed it up in another way, maybe without even knowing since the device will run without a problem, even with a corrupted bootloader. Until you reboot, that is.

Anyway, I'm still guessing that you're just entering the debug mode for whatever reason.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayhead996:
I will try it with a battery that I know is working. The splash screen isn't showing up either so I think the Android OS was corrupted in some way. Also, if I do have a corrupted bootloader, how would I fix that?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuu~:
By sending it to HTC.

I don't really know if there are any JTAGs for the DHD.
