[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
While the n4 screen and its setting are not perfect. I am getting tired of this amoled s3 note comparison. Those screens suck. They have far more issues. Far more variation in colors. Are far worse at gradients and so on.

Straight up those screens are complete junk in their out of the box condition.

Lovely video showing some of the flaws. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVqs70N3KeM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calebt:
Coming from the One Xl from AT&T I must say the screen on the One Xl is a tad bit sharper. Thats with bright turned up high on both devices side by side comparison.

I'll be keeping the N4 mine has a beautiful screen.

I watched the video and I can't believe how bad the s3 is. Horrible that you can't even see anything in dark movie scenes

I'm sorry that I'm poor. because paying 700$ for a device that will go out of style in 3-6 months is always the best option when you are rich. And just because something cost more doesn't mean that its better. Last time I checked nexus is made with glass while the Samsung loves to use plastic
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Its the tired old apple user argument. You don't have a mac because you're poor. You don't have a iPhone because etc. Nonsense.

The price is cheap because that is the price Google wants to sell it at period. It is made up if mostly the same exact materials as the optimums g. It is not some cheap budget phone.

They are selling the nexus 10 for what would be considered cheap as well. What does a note 10 cost in comparison with inferior hw?.

The joke is not oh look the n4 users are poor. Its the people on two year contracts paying $100 bucks a month and $200 for the device are fools.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
Not everyone finances their phone.. some of us buy it outright.

And I'm sorry but these budget phones/tablets have more quality control issues than 90% of the market so obviously something is missing.

Why is the optimus better than the N4? Same hardware, yet the optimus out performs.. wonder why?

Because you don't get the best for cheap.Period.

I've been playing around with both.

S-Voice seems a little bit slower than Google Now.

I am just curious as to see what people prefer.

Sorry if this is kind of random.. lol

anyways.. let the show down begin!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 1xmattx1:
I used Google Now on CM10 and found it wonderful. It was well integrated and it was kinda care free. It did stuff for me with me having to do much. Also I thought the voice search was much better too.

One con I found was the Maps Travel feature of Google Now was draining my battery with Wake Locks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] StrumerJohn:
Google Now is better than S - Voice in almost every possible aspect.

Why Samsung kept S Voice in Jellybean.. Who knows..?

Google Now can do 95% of the things S Voice can do AND more.

Google Now can also do basic Voice Functions that do NOT require the internet Offline.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I use a combination of both. I like both programs however Google Now is definitely faster. :)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokken:
So I've spent the last hour running logcats and Googling, but I can't seem to find an answer. When I start a download in the Play Store, it stays at "Downloading..." for around 2-5 minutes, then basically resets the download and it works. The logcats are saying stuff about logging slow HTTP requests (I saw around 23000ms response times) and not being able to find a file. It also switches the state from null to unqueued, then queued, then downloading, then success. It downloads and installs very fast after this.

I have no other ping/speed problems in any application. It leads me to think it's only the Play Store. The problem is I can't do anything about it unless I flash a different Play Store. Ugh. It took over an hour to download 40 apps when initially restoring my device. I wondered why it took so damn long.

Can anyone help? :(

Oh, forgot to mention, it takes >30 seconds for it to load the search predictions within the Play Store as well.

Oh yeah, and Facebook refuses to sign in. Sits there with the whole wheel slowly spinning and then says failed to authenticate, or something.

And yes, this is post-OTA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokken:
Seems to be a WiFi driver issue, looks like DD-WRT or similar firmwares may be a factor as well. ANYONE please chime in!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloud1111:
Might be a play store issue. I've been trying for a while to install apps from Google Play but none of the free apps would download through my broadband internet. I disabled wifi, and now I can install free and paid apps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokken:
It happens with more than just the Play Store, so I have to think it's a driver issue, or an API issue. The way some apps send packets must be messed up. Ugh.

Unit has been rooted.... finally :) thanks for everyones' help.

My other problem now is when I tried to make CWM to work. It will stuck at boot screen (where the service provider logo is )

Anyone have solution or similar experience ?

I missed doing full backup on my unit :(
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Tomaat:
Root it

Install cwm installer (dont open)

Reboot

Open cwm app

Inatall it, reboot in recovery

Maybe this will solve It?:P

Can't post in developer forum :(

Anyway... Thanks! Loving it so far. Restoring my apps from Titanium as we speak.

I had some issues initially, I think mostly cause I was encrypted. I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to reset and wipe everything, but still had issues with the update file I download from you. This was solved by running

adb sideload

and installing the gapps.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kurrytacos:
alright so my htc vivid has the wildchild recovery but is not rooted (i really dont know why but it says it isnt on root checker) and ever since my phone randomly updated its recovery my wifi won't turn on. Im thinking of going completely back to stock and see if it fixes it. Do you guys know any other way?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
install superuser app and see if root works after. and you most likely need to flash a kernel through recovery to fix the wifi
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Maqical:
Don't listen to him ^^ WildChild's site will give you the best help there.. but you did something wrong... on his site download the instructions and follow them everything works fine.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
What? Obviously he is missing the files that flashes with the kernel if it's not working and yes if he followed the guide everything would have worked
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kurrytacos:
can one of you send me a link to the WildChild site because as of right now my browser cannot find it at all. Also i already installed superuser but nothing has changed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeRo2o9:
We cannot post the link just google wcx vivid
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
To the OP what are you trying to do? Please elaborate more. Did you flash a rom and only flashed the WCX recovery? Wildchild always provides the boot.img with his roms that need to be flashed via fastboot regardless if you are S-Off. Are you rooted? I would not flash a recovery until you can confirm root.

So far the HOX+ has been great for the 4 days I've had it! Today I picked up my phone and noticed there was a smudge on the glass of the One X+, so I proceeded to rub it with my finger, but it wouldn't go away. Nothing happened, so I used a paper towel. It cleared up, but when I rubbed it with my finger again, it's showing up again. Has anyone else had this problem with either the HOX or the new HOX+? :confused:

Thanks!

Pal ive tried so many ways too and couldnt find a satisfatory one, buuuuut editing gps.conf gave me the best results adding some brazilian ntp servers, but we have just a few, so it still sucks, i just use north-america ntp servers as stock...Oh and i found that the latest version of GB XWLA4 gave me the best results, i dont know if there is a influence, but its really much better than the older GB versions.

I havent tried any ICS trash and i wont, ill wait for the JB and see if it will be good at fixing !

[RAZR HD General] EdwardN:
I've pulled this together from multiple sources, all will be acknowledged and linked to.

Basically, I've figured out how to setup a better DPI for lapdock use. Razr HD is 320DPI by default, and so far only 240dpi works for me. Home pages are still only displaying 4x4 grid, you'd have to change your grid settings through a replacement launcher.

Script credit goes to Dadooms, from this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34065014&postcount=88, his is credited to others in the same thread.

I've only modified the DPI settings from it.

#!/system/bin/sh
initdensity=320
tabletdensity=240
density=`getprop qemu.sf.lcd_density`
echo $density
if [ $density -eq $initdensity ]
then
echo "tablet"
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density $tabletdensity
else
echo "telephone"
setprop qemu.sf.lcd_density $initdensity
fi
stop
sleep 1
start

You must be rooted for this to work! Root instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943845

Next, install SManager and SMWidgets (only if you want to make a toggle widget for the script)

Create a file called TabletMode in /data directory, and paste the code from above into it.

Open TabletMode in SManager, select SU for superuser(root) access, and run. Your phone will quick-reboot and will come back in 240DPI with smaller icons and text. To clear the settings, run the script again, or just reboot the phone normally.
[RAZR HD General] fletch33:
thanks for the post. any chance of getting some pics?

this is a good step towards making the lapdock useful again.
[RAZR HD General] tatsujin:
great, thank you! the only missing thing now is the native resolution, instead of hd mirroring.

but a great step into the right direction :)
[RAZR HD General] EdwardN:
Pics, as requested. Before and After with similar icons, same background. The circles widget behaves weirdly, not sure why.

Phone boots up at 120dpi, looks like tablet mode is enabled, but system ui crashes so softkeys and the dock doesn't load. I'm going to keep trying dpi settings to see if I can find one that'll boot into tablet mode properly. 120dpi DOES alter the icon grid to 6x8 I believe from 4x4, and it clears all the pages, so you can maintain your "phone" icon/widget layout and save your "lapdock" icon/widget layout separately.
[RAZR HD General] EdwardN:
Some progress. While the stock launcher seems to throw a fit if the DPI is set to anything other than 240 or 320, Apex Launcher works just fine with 200. Here's some screenshots for you to look at. Settings: Autorotate on, icons 7 rows 10 columns.

I'm thinking of setting up Apex for Lapdock only mode once I get mine, and keep the stock launcher for phone mode. To change modes, I just swap launchers, then run the batch file.
[RAZR HD General] tatsujin:
I spent some time to figure out another improvments, using the razr hd with the lapdock:

- using apex launcher, you can disable the status bar using a widget -> gives some more space on the home screen

- apex also supports a "tablet ui" for more tablet ui feel. As it won't affect the system dpi, it's worth a try but not comparable with 240dpi build.prop setting

- "hide bottom bar" (available at play) is compatible with razr hd (root needed!). It is hiding the softkeys and also disables the status bar. This gives nearly the native

resolution of the lapdock and is really great for browsing and office :) At least for me, a major advance.

Have fun :)
[RAZR HD General] JBmfG:
When i change the dpi to 200 via your script I still have pretty large black bars on top and bottom of my lapdock screen and the picture seems to be stretched though im not positive of this. Changing the dpi really only seems to change the size of the icons. Am I doing something wrong? It would be so so cool to have this replace my netbook but as it stands its going to remain unused.
[RAZR HD General] EdwardN:
Try playing with the HDMI overscan settings. Display > Overscan. I read that someone else had it set to center of the bar for a decent display.

The lapdock is 1366x768, I believe, vs the phone's native resolution of 1280x720. Overscan should be able to adjust for the difference.
[RAZR HD General] JBmfG:
Thanks Edward. I thought i had already tried that and didnt see any overscan option in the display section but I will try again when i get home to my lapdock.
[RAZR HD General] JBmfG:
Yes, just as i thought. When i plug in my razr to my lapdock i have no hdmi settings available in the display section. I have brightness, wallpaper, auto-rotate screen, sleep, Font size, Roaming banner. Im on the leaked JB, not sure if that matters. I tried googling for a solution but didnt find much.
[RAZR HD General] EdwardN:
I don't have my Razr HD on JB yet. I'm waiting for either the Rogers JB release or the Cyanogen10 to mature a little more before trying it. Overscan IS an option in ICS.
[RAZR HD General] coolestmage:
Yeah, hdmi is messed up in the Jelly Bean leaks. There is no overscan option. I am really having a hard time believing the newest leak 9.1.41 is actually going to be the official since it is missing such a key feature. Kind of pissing me off actually.
[RAZR HD General] souljaboy:
Sadly it appears to be the case even in the final versions, 4.1 for motorola means half-assed hdmi support, worse than 4.0

I suggest you to write to them! I did too.
[RAZR HD General] JBmfG:
I saw that ubuntu for android was released yesterday. Havent read up on it much yet but maybe this would be a way to make the lapdocks useful?
[RAZR HD General] EdwardN:
Possibly. I'd prefer to have android still be the OS though, just for app convenience. I did manage to run ubuntu gui on my razrhd through a VNC window but it was slow as hell, so I terfed it.
[RAZR HD General] andreas5232:
In order to get my atrix lapdock working with my RAZR HD XT925 JB, i tried the solution suggested here.

But it didn't really fix the problem. The two black bars above and below the displayed area on the lapdock stayed there. The overscan option did completely disappear in 4.1.2 as already said here. This is quite frustrating.

Is there any other possibility to do an overscan, e.g. per build.prop?

It would be really nice, getting the (atrix) lapdock useable/working with jellybean! :)
[RAZR HD General] gsdev:
You are on 4.1.2 and changing the dpi with the script here affected your hdmi out resolution? That is further than I can get. I get ****ty 480 since 4.1.2. I have tried other roms and the only one different is CM10 which displays sideways so that is a huge deprovement.

Lack of support for lapdock is infuriating. With VPN and RDP I was able to leave my laptop at home most days.
[RAZR HD General] mtvdeo:
I am angry about lapdock not working well. Can we all do something about it? HDMI as a whole isn't working well either. This is the Razr HD and it's advertised for having HDMI. But since jelly bean it's not working as it should.

Let's try fixing lapdock first, though. I really want to use it. Maybe webtop won't work, but there might be alternatives, right?
[RAZR HD General] EdwardN:
The solution might be to return to ICS, unfortunately. I don't know enough about how the hdmi works to really make any progress that way. There IS an app in market called Tablet Mode for samsung, but it does work to change the dpi setting without too much effort. HOWEVER. You must use a replacement launcher to use it, if you set the dpi to 192 it will cause constant forceclose of the stock launcher. You also need root. So far I've only tested it with ICS, and since I reinstalled jelly bean from full I don't have root to test it.
[RAZR HD General] JBmfG:
Whenever i've messed with the DPI it just looks like it makes everything smaller on the same portion of the screen. Until overscan is working i dont think there is anything to be done.
[RAZR HD General] vctrrl:

Droid Razr HD XT926:

*ICS and lapdock works really well

*Jelly Bean 4.1.1 lapdock looks terrible at 540x1196 pixels

*Jelly Bean 4.1.2 (update came yesterday) improves quality to 720x1280 on lapdock and any TV, still not as nice as on ICS but an impressive improvement

If you want your Razr HD to behave like a lapdock (not really but improves the experience a bit), download SoundAbout from Play store. It enables you to use your phone as the speaker so now audio works. You can also download Screen Standby so your phone's screen turns off when you connect your lapdock.

I know it's very little help but at least it's something.

I tried this density-change-script a few days ago too, to use my JB XT925 on my atrix lapdock, but with no success.

The script, copied to the phone with the tutorial in the first post and the execution of it worked well.

After reboot the density was changed, but the overcan-problem with the lapdock still was there and makes it unusable for me.

[RAZR HD General] mtvdeo:

why can't someone port WEBTOP from Droid Razr?
[RAZR HD General] andreas5232:
AFAIk because it isn't that easy, as it seems. The webtop thing has its own partition and you must port the APKs to the RHD.

But maybe there's an harcode programmer out there, who want's to realise this? You got my respect and my donation for sure! :)
