[Nexus 4 General] Ravynmagi:
Well good news for me, I no longer see this issue on my screen. It seems to have cleared up and it looks sharp and clear now. *Whew* I'm happy and love the screen.
[Nexus 4 General] trent25:
I can definitely see it on mine, grays make it pop out more. It's not too bad to warrant the hassle of trying an exchange, though.

Not sure why it would clear up by itself, but if it does I am not gonna mind it :P
[Nexus 4 General] LyghtSpeed:
My LG thrill has that, and so does the HTC inspire.

Its normal I guess
[Nexus 4 General] gtg465x:
No way, not even close to as bad as pentile.
[Nexus 4 General] babalonius508:
I also see these vertical lines. Been driving me crazy when I focus on them. No worries though. Great phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Ravynmagi:
You are right, it didn't. I think after using a while, I started seeing past it. Then I was messing around with my Galaxy Nexus and tablet. Then went back to the phone and I can notice those lines again.

It also depends on what I'm looking at. It really stands out looking at the XDA forums, on the brown colors (I'm using the XDA 2010 theme).

i like way better the whites of iphone :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] gtg465x:
Didn't watch the video, but the color temp is rather balanced. It isn't too warm. I own an iPhone 5 as well and the Nexus display looks just as good.
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
Quite honestly it's going to vary wildly from unit to unit as well. I recall once putting 4 iPhone 4's right next to one another and one was green, one was purple, one was orange, and one was blue.
[Nexus 4 General] idividebyzero:
Its not possible to gauge LCD color from a video because the camera changes what it thinks is supposed to be white to pure white, its called white balance. The camera is being white balanced to the iphone, which screws up the way the Nexus looks, it is probably white balancing the iphone because its a lot brighter.

Comparing the colors of LCD's from pictures is pointless, you have to know what you are doing and be using a camera that can set a manual white balance.

As for the whites on the Nexus 4, they are great but should actually be a little bit warmer.
[Nexus 4 General] s1lenz:
I'm with the op..

I had my Nexus 4 up against an iphone 5 and there's no comparison, the iphone 5's screen blows it out of the water.

I then had it up to the old Galaxy S II I had and the screen was immensely better as well.

Only thing that it looked better then was my nexus 7, and that isnt saying much...
[Nexus 4 General] TotalBS:
It can be different between devices. I've read that some devices didn't have time for the glue to fully cure and they had a warmer tint because of it, but after a couple days it was sorted out. Possibly the phone in the video has the same problem?

Check out this review. I linked to a spot where he has an all white page for a little bit and you can clearly see it's nowhere close to the phone in your video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=4721lNCuteQ#t=186s
[Nexus 4 General] nic85:
if you own both,please wattch that video...are colors in iphone 5 display more vivid?
[Nexus 4 General] elliot.newnham:
Much better comparison IMO here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E406xXr4Mok

And you guys are crazy, or are really hard to please, because this display is gorgeous.
[Nexus 4 General] s1lenz:
Dude that's a Galaxy Nexus and an iphone 4... the guy is completely ripping off Armando Ferreira's video... and he has comments pending approval so nobody can correct him and put up a creative license LA so he won't be taken down... this has to be the biggest douchebag I've ever seen...
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
It is highly possible that even the Nexus 4 uses different IPS panels.

We've seen things like that in many devices, be it phones, laptops, and even TVs. Most prominent "case" is probably the Retina Macbook Pro where the LG made panel has way worse quality (LG normally makes god-tier panels, it's just that particular model where they screwed up) than the one manufactured by Samsung.

So, I'm almost certain that, even though LG makes their own panels, the Nexus 4 comes with different panels and some might have different characteristics.

Only side-by-side comparisons or teardowns of different batches will tell if there are in fact different screens used in the Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] gtg465x:
The iPhone 5 is a tiny bit more vivid, but if you don't have them side by side it would be difficult to notice the difference. And the screen on my Nexus doesn't look extremely warm like the one in that video. Seems like he got a poorly calibrated unit, or maybe he had the brightness lower on the Nexus and it made it look warmer.
[Nexus 4 General] gtg465x:
Here's some comparison shots with the iPhone 5.

At max brightness:

At medium brightness:
[Nexus 4 General] Emama:
It looks like not every screen has the same color
[Nexus 4 General] nic85:
i think you forgot the images :D
[Nexus 4 General] SGS_elko:
Has the chrome Browser a brightness setting feature? On my SGS I can set the brightness of the browser independent of the main setting of the OS!
[Nexus 4 General] gtg465x:
Sorry, imageshack was screwing with me. They're up now. To answer this thread, my Nexus 4 actually has a cooler screen than my iPhone 5.
[Nexus 4 General] dbdynsty25:
Wow...my Nexus 4 screen is almost identical to the iPod Touch 5G (the one with the same panel as the iPhone 5) in terms of temp and whites. That looks like a bad screen to me.
[Nexus 4 General] s1lenz:
my screen is more in line with the pictures posted above....
[Nexus 4 General] gtg465x:
The one in the video looks bad, I agree, but mine is fine. If anything, the iPhone 5's screen is slightly too warm, but in real world use (aka, not in pictures), my Nexus 4 and iPhone 5 screens look very similar.
[Nexus 4 General] dcarpenter85:
The video doesn't mean anything, as someone stated before camera white balancing will do weird things to the image. The best any only way to accurately compare the two is side by side, in person..which is exactly what I did with my friend's iphone 5 yesterday. There is absolutely zero difference in quality between the two screens. Brightness is fantastic on both, colors look amazing, etc. Go test in person at an apple store or with a friend's iphone 5 and see for yourself.
[Nexus 4 General] gtg465x:
No
[Nexus 4 General] nic85:
thank you so mucn for the pics!

So we can say no all the nexus 4 have exactly the same screen?and same story with others phones..
[Nexus 4 General] idividebyzero:
Ok look, cameras do not capture white balance like our eyes do. The LCD is a light source, it does not reflect light, that screws up the camera sensor. Photos and video are not representative of how LCD screens look, thats why every commercial with an LCD in it says "screen images simulated," those screens are added after filming

Stop basing image quality from photos, do people really think the Nexus 4 would ship with a screen that horrible and with so much difference from device to device? Photos will tell you if one screen is warmer or cooler than the other, it will not show you what they both look like in real life.
[Nexus 4 General] nic85:
LOL i know that,just hear what brandon Miniman said about the colors of the screens :good: LG --> warmer at 6:00 so i'm not talking about bullsh1t : :D
[HD2 General] Ev0luti0n_:
Hello guys!

I am on my 2nd HD2, and once again loving the experience. This one has Nexus hd2 Jelly Bean 4.1.2 and it seems like a totally diferent phone. But my question is the following: my previous one fell in the water, but had a momax battery. The terminal and the battery seems ok on the outside, but i am wondering if it's still usable, or i should not plug it in my new phone?

will it damage anything if i try?
[HD2 General] mengfei:
Electronics & Water do not mix well. although the outside looks fine any minute amount could be fatal

I wouldn't take that chance
[HD2 General] Mister B:
I would test it in external charger & then check pin outs with multi-meter if ok then should be fine to use.

Only a thermal sensor on the battery & everything is well sealed.

obviously make sure fully dry before doing anything with it.
[HD2 General] Ev0luti0n_:
Thanks for the reply. I will give it a shot because android drains my battery like there is no tomorrow.

Install on ICS. Pull apk from phone, backup somewhere, reflash GB, reinstall apk.

I have Windows 7.5 (Pradigm) installed in my phone and I believe all the neccessary MGLDR and HSLR are correctly installed.

I had ICS installed by someone I know, and I felt I wanted to test the Windows OS's layout, so without telling him I just booted to MGLDR (with a new sd card) and clicked at USB Flasher, connected through the Computer, and I opened the DFU.exe, and installed the Windows 7.5 (pradigm) and it works perfectly..

now I want to install this rom (andriod)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1930240

I feel I can do it the way I did windows? or there is something else I have to do too?

I've searched through the forums and and read some guides, everything is clear, that I have to run DFU.exe like I did back then while flashing windows.

what I don't understand is what is ext2/4/6, SDNATIVE stuff.. can anybody please elaborate?

Plus, do answer that will it be okey if I download the above rom, connect my phone(usb flasher mode) and flash the rom (DFU.exe of that rom) .. will this be okay or I need to be further instructed in order to flash this rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marek989:
No, you can't do that. You need to repartitoon your phone via USB flasher and flash recovery, then download the .zip of the ROM, place it on the root of your SD card, boot into recovery, choose install zip from sdcard, choose the .zip file, flash, wait for it to do it's job. You're done, reboot. Ext2/3/4 are external partitions of SD Cards, thanks zo them, you can install apps to those partitions without losing any data space.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resourcemanagement:
I've looked all over, but cannot find anything on the problem I am having.

I go through the steps to load the current factory image onto my nexus s 4g through terminal on my mac, but for some reason it doesn't load everything. Here's what it says in terminal about the items that can't load:

archive does not contain 'boot.sig'

archive does not contain 'recovery.sig'

archive does not contain 'system.sig'

And here's what my folder looks like where I'm loading everything from:

I guess I can't post a picture from an outside source, so I'll just type in what my folder looks like:

boot.img

bootloader-crespo4g-d720spric1.img

flash-all.bat

flash-all.sh

flash-base.sh

image-sojus-jro03r

image-sojus-jro03r.zip

radio-crespo4g-d720sprilf2.img

there are files in the unzipped folder (image-sojus-jro03r) named:

android-info.txt

recovery.img

system.img

userdata.img

These seem to be some of the files that are missing, but even when i drag them over to the main folder, they still don't load. maybe something to do with the fact that they are .sig's?

I drag the flash-all.sh file into terminal and it loads and writes everything except for these .sig's, which I truthfully don't know what they are. Now I can't get into the correct recovery mode, it just shows some weird blue-lettered options that are different then the normal recovery options. That is why I think the fact that these .sig files are not loading is the problem.

I also booted up the new operating system and signed on, but for some reason none of my apps can download.

Sorry for my noobness, but I'm sure I'm missing one easy step that will fix my problems.

Does anyone know what I'm going through?

Any help is much appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resourcemanagement:
Alright. I've searched the web and found a few different things. It seems that it's common for those .sig files to not load. Also, i loaded the factory image again and was able to download my apps.

I also now foolishly realize that to get a good version of recovery, I need to root my phone. I'm in terminal now, and for some reason adb is not showing my phone in adb devices. This wasn't a problem when I loaded the factory image, but now it's a problem when I'm trying to do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129759

step 5 is a problem, but hey, I can turn off the phone and go into fastboot mode myself. I guess step 7 is the next problem I'm dealing with. Here's what I get in terminal when I do step 7 manually (I put a *#* where my name is just so everyone knows):

MacBook:~ *#*$ /Users/*#*/Desktop/adb-fastboot/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img

-bash: /Users/*#*/Desktop/adb-fastboot/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-crespo.img: Permission denied

Does anyone know what I'm dealing with this time around?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
You probably need to enable adb in Settings --> Developer Options. If it's an issue with adb while in recovery, i'm pretty sure the stock recovery (which will be overwritten on every boot from a stock ROM) doesn't allow it. What you need to do is flash a new recovery in fastboot (not in recovery).

Commands (while in fastboot mode):

/path/to/fastboot devices <-- this will tell you if your phone is connected properly

/path/to/fastboot flash recovery /path/to/recovery.img <-- this will flash the new recovery

You'll need to type in the path to fastboot unless you have it in somewhere like /bin or a more convenient environmentally recognised location. The command you typed there is the same as trying to open the .img file as a script, you want to tell fastboot to flash the file to the phone and not open it with the computer.

Edit: Also, once you root, you probably want to delete /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. That file replaces any custom recovery with stock each time you boot.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] resourcemanagement:
Thanks Harbb.

That's what I ended up doing, using fastboot. it worked perfectly. I did try to find the /system/etc/install-recovery.sh file in root explorer, but could not find it. don't know where it is.

Everything is rooted and restored on my custom rom to where I was previously using titanium backup.

Now i downloaded the Liquidsmooth 4.1.2 RC8 released nov 15th...

From the other forum...

I flashed my deviced with new rom it booted up fine and seemed to work...

now i have 4g or lte with gingerbread i get 4g or lte connectivity

after i installed the new rom i got 3g which i have never seen on my phone before... and i was unable to get 4G or LTE

I also didnt have to sign into Gmail etc to get my contacts... i had none... i thought we had to sign into a google account?

Do i need to flash some gapps? or something? i tried Goomanager and yea doesnt work on my phone well it works but doesnt reconize my device maybe its cause its gingerbread? also i dont really know what gapps are? do i need them? where do i find the right one if i do?

So i went back to my old set up... only thing the first time it kept booting into recovery and trying to reboot so i did the recovery again and everything was back to normal the way it was before i did anything...

If someone could help guide me and tell me what im missing that would be great

thanks.
