[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] ImWarped:
So, yes, you can do it using the method explained here... But if the person who gets your number next installs WhatsApp, you're getting bumped in the end... Best to just suck it up and use your new number. There's a reason you can bring your phone number to new carriers now, probably should have done it!
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] gohan040:
I agree with ImWarped.... to make sure u won't get any strange problems in the future the best thing to do in your situation is use your recent number.... I'm not shure where your from but in some country's they are running out of numbers, so carriers use the old ones that are not used anymore to sell as a new number.... to avoid problems............register whatsapp with the number u are using atm...

Sh1t happens, just send all your contacts a whatsapp that your number changed and next time.................... keep your number when changing carrier!!!!!!

So last night I dropped my phone for the first time. There was this pan sticking out from the table that was very hot and I moved my hand really fast away from the pan and my phone went flying out of my and the worst part my phone hit the floor. :( No cracked screen Damage wasn't bad but I have these light scratches on the screen and one little scratch on the top left conner of the phone. The drop was bad and I'm surprised the damage wasn't greater then it was. Anyone else drop there phone yet? The scratches are so light I think i can buff them out with wax but will that mess up the coating on the gorilla glass? What's everyones input or stories?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
That sucks :( Maybe if I had my phone I could tell a story, but nope Google hasn't shipped it yet....
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Sounds okay to me, I would've probably expected a crack from that kinda fall. Luckily I haven't dropped mine yet, but I'm being very careful with it.
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
Here's a pic of the top left conner. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
Let's hope it never happens to you such a beautiful phone to have digs and scratches.
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
I dropped mine last nite. I was sitting on a chair on the patio smoking, and I was asked to do something. I forgot that the phone was in my lap and stood up. It flew across the patio landed on cement, slid, and I cringed.

Picked it up and not a scractch. :D SOOOo happy.

I spent like 20 minutes going over it with a fine tooth comb too.

:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] Ulver:
At least it didn't crack! The first drop is always the hardest. But hell, its a phone this won't be the first scuff/scratch/ding you're gonna get on it.
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
Anyone know if I buff the scratches out with wax if it will mess up the coating on the gorilla glass? Cause right now the finger prints don't show but I'm guessing its the coating.
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
Luck...:good:
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
do not do anything based on what I say, but my understanding is that gg2 doesn't have a olephobic coating but is just olephobic itself.
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
Bro that looks good! Honestly theres noting wrong with damaging your phone as long as its not too bad. Before you could re sell phones but with this starting out so cheep I doubt it's even worth being extra careful with it. Whats the point of having the inconvenience of a case for an entire year when you're probably just going to move on anyways? And like I said, that is minor damage, I wouldn't hardly stress it.
[Nexus 4 General] dpaul007:
That's not that bad! Though consider yourself lucky as there are people who have cracked/shattered phones and they have no idea why...:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] manlisten:
Mine slid off of my desk twice yesterday. Which is strange because I never thought my desk was slanted.
[Nexus 4 General] Seemonsters:
dropped mine from waist height onto hard wood floor, no marks.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Could have been so much worse!
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Case and screen protector.... Get a tpu I've had b them on my phones since the galaxy nexus... Dropped my phones many times with them and not a scratch on one thankfully.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Not only is the nexus 4 a smartphone, but now you can use it to measure levels!! That's innovation right there:p:D;)
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Imagine that! Some people ate getting cracks from placing then shown softly. Others are getting started that apart out of nowhere. You actually drop yours and the glad is totally in fact and fine! I don't know how that weak gorilla glass could stand up to it! You should post this in that weak gorilla glass thread.

Seriously though, I am glad your phone did not sustain to much damage. I know even a small ding hurts but think of how much worse it could have been.

I dropped mine twice yesterday. First it slid off the arm of a chair. Then I pulled it off my night table with the headphone cord doh! Not a mark on it though :)
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Doesn't look bad.....

You can sell it on eBay for $550 and buy a new one.:D
[Nexus 4 General] sungrad:
In dropped mine down a flight of stairs last night. They're carpeted, but there's about 15 of them and laminate flooring at the bottom.

It was perfectly fine. I couldn't believe it!
[Nexus 4 General] icecicle:
You guys are some daredevils the plastic my phone came with just came off today so I went to Walmart and got a universal screen protector which is garbage but I'd be trippin if it was just naked even tho it's not the most expensive phone lol
[Nexus 4 General] azlemad:
I dropped mine about from a metre high onto a tile floor. It was like slow motion... NOoooooooo. Thankfully no damage. I have since applied a crappy eBay tpu "s line case" on it now.
[Nexus 4 General] AIovanna:
Dropped it twice...first time I snagged the charge cable moving something and it hit the floor (commercial carpet)...no damage...with the exception of a mild heart attack...second time I caught it in mid air like Bruce Lee...still haven't taken off the protective covering...back or front...
[Nexus 4 General] umesswitme:
Dropped mine yesterday Got a very faint scratch on the screen, you cant see it unless you look at it under a bright light,eben then its hard to find :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Emama:
Anyone drop their phones with bumper on
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
wtf! :D

This phone may be cheaper than everything in its class, but at 290 quid it isn't exactly a disposable item!

For sure i'll be getting a tpu skin case and screen protector :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Kassassin:
A bartender asked to look at mine. First thing I told him to do was not to drop it because it was brand new and rare.... he dropped it... onto the bar and then the floor.. not a scratch. I was pissed though
[Nexus 4 General] snickerpop:
Yeah not having case on my phone is nerve-racking. I've looked around for one, but I'm having a hard time finding one that I like. I think some good ones are coming out in a couple of days. Most of the ones I've seen so far are ugly in my opinion
[Nexus 4 General] iJimaniac:
Wow, after reading some of your guys' stories, I am a lot less scared of dropping mine when I get it (as soon as I can order one, lol).

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] litmeister:
im on cm10, and i update daily with the new nightlies. however the greatest problem i have is the damn battery, i drains fast. this is the main problem i have with it, and im thinkin of goin back to stock sense. can someone give something how to resolve the battery thing
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] WeWearFedoras:
In almost every ROM thread that is NOT sense based, you'll discover that the battery life isn't as good as it is on sense based ROMs. The suggestions that I have read over and over deal with turning off auto-sync or at least Facebook. FB and location services in maps seems to be the largest causes of battery drain... Along with screen brightness. I'm on AOKP nightlies and I get about 14 hrs with about 2hrs of screen time. I haven't tried shutting down Facebook yet so maybe that will help... Ultimately I just deal with the battery issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skeeterdrums:
From the sounds of it, the battery life's been getting better and better as time goes on. I'm waiting for things to settle down a little more before switching from clean rom, but I definitely want to get on cm10 eventually.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] undergrad:
That's odd because I found that my battery life got much better after installing CM10.

Have you tried to calibrate your battery?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I'm hoping given some time the battery life will increase on the aosp ROMs. Back on the Desire it was the opposite, Sense ROMs sucked battery and the CM7 ROM was better (from my experience anyway).

I'm currently using the AOKP nightly and my usage can vary pretty wildly. On a work day (with mobile data turned off unless I need it, and I always have auto sync off) I can get about 14-16 hours with 2-3 hours of screen on time. On weekends when I use it more it can drain in just a few hours of mid to heavy usage, with a couple hours screen on time.

I have Facebook notifications turned off, and location sharing etc in Google maps turned off too. The worst battery drainers for me are hanging with friends and scramble with friends, after just a few games on either I'll lose about 10% battery. Plus hanging with friends makes my phone insanely hot (highest temp was 51° celcius). Browsing Facebook and XDA for an hour will usually drain about 20% battery too.

Hey guys im trying to root and install a rom on my phone im using the all in one kit. I followed the instructions but when ever i try and get the token ID it says the device is not connected? I really want to do this so any and all help is very much appreciated.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] gotzaDroid:
Did you put the phone into debugging mode before plugging it in?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CrazyKnight122:
Funny thing was it was already enabled. AS of tried turning it off and then on again. Still get the same thing.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CrazyKnight122:
Any one else have any ideas that might help.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] swatty43:
When you are in fastboot does it show "fastboot usb"?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ess.boyer:
Make sure that you have the drivers installed on your computer, and that the HTC Sync client is NOT running. When your phone is in fastboot, make sure it says FASTBOOT USB when plugged in. Otherwise, that identifies a connection issue (like not having the drivers installed, or a bum USB port or some such).

Also, for troubleshooting purposes, make sure you're plugged directly into a USB port, and not through a hub or extension.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] CrazyKnight122:
I tried it again on another computer and it worked this time. I dont know what was up with it before.

Thanks for the help guys.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locklear308:
I've never unlocked a phone before... Does anyone know if this is possible? T Mobile won't unlock it for 60 days, which is crap XD

Basically... (story time)

My best friend Mark, has a t-mobile account. He owns me a favor. So I'm going to buy the Nexus 4, and he will take the 2 year thing. (I loaned him 800 dollars for plane tickets a while back...so yeah)

Now... how can I unlock this bad boy for AT&T? (Note...I hate at&t...but I can't afford to get off my family plan.)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
:sigh: It's unlocked out of the box.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locklear308:
So why would the T-Mobile rep tell me that it is locked? It's the 200 dollar price, with a 2 year. So I would assume it would be locked.

I just finished customizing my tablet and and I found it was really amazing. I have attached screenshots below

*some features do require root

Cyanogenmod

The first thing I did was flash Cyanogenmod 10 one of the nightly builds. You can find these on their website. Then I flashed the play store apps. After to get maximum amount of storage I formated my SD card via cwm recovery. After you finish this the next thing you wanna do is settings--->security----> unknown sources. U wanna make sure there is a check in the box. Then enable USB debugging mode by settings---> devolper options----> check USB debugging mode. It will give a warning ignore and just press OK.

*If you want the greyish blue theme as seen in the notification screenshot its angel theme installed using theme chooser

* the city background is a cm default wallpaper

GMD

Next I installed GMD app. By using this app I get to use gestures similar to the iPad. This app requires root access so allow superuser access when you first open the app.

Windows 7

Install launcher 7 via browser because the play store will tell you its incompatible. To get your system background back look in launcher 7 settings. The menu button is in the screen to the left. To get more stock looking kind of tiles search Google or I could load some just make a request.

*this app does not require root

Multitasking bar

To get the multitasking bar the app is called dock4droid to get a second one at the same time its an app called dialdock which you have to install via browser as well because of incompatible error. One bar I use for recent apps and the other I use as quick launch apps

*this app does not require root

This is my first tutorial so please jus respond with anything u like, dislike (besides spelling), any other requests

[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] Ectoplasmic:
Can you give a link to the theme you were able to apply? Using the nightly from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1791975

The themes I tried give the error "This theme was improperly compiled..." so it seems I can't get any themes to work.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] flop13:
So I tried...

And if I had no pb to download and install the apps, its now hard to get the result I see on your post.

Can you please give more details ?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] brandontowey:
Can you link me to where you downloaded Launcher 7? Can't seem to find where to get it outside the Play Store. Thanks.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] brandontowey:
I got it. Had to install it on my Shift and copy it from internal memory. Here's the download link from my Dropbox:

http://db.tt/RHYyiROY

Free version so not warez.

Honestly, I like the look but limited options. Went back to Nova Prime for gestures and other tweaks. Hopefully I can find a similar tiles app and if anyone knows of one, please post it.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] mreese14:
incompiled improperly

ok so if you tried to apply the theme and you got an error about how the theme is incompiled properly do this

1: backup using rom manager/cwm recovery

2: change lcd density to 140. u can use rom toolbox

3: after the reboot try to apply the theme again and click apply anyway

after this it should be properly installed. u can change the lcd density back but i believe i still have it at 140

flop13 all neccessary info is in the first post if your still having trouble can you send me a screenshot of your homescreen and settings info

ps thanks for the feedback and sorry for the late response
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] flop13:
Hi,

Ok, my fault... I didnt install the good "launcher 7"...

But I have some questions...

- How to customize tiles pictures ?

- Does it work in landscape mode ?

- Is it possible to gather apps in a tile ?

- And for the multitasking bar... i'm lost ;)

Great job !!

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] mreese14:
To customize tile pictures like phone SMS and Facebook etc

1 hold the tile till it pops up and press the little pencil/pen

2 slide to customize menu and turn every thing off except background images

3 choose a custom design from the attachment or search the web for some more

4 when done press modify tile

Landscape mode is a little buggy so I keep it in portrait but to activate landscape mode

1 go to launcher 7 settings found in the app drawer

Then unclick orientation lock

If u mean make folder tiles by gather apps yes this can be done by launcher 7 settings then there is a slide menu called folders. Make your folder there then add it by going to app drawer-->menu-->add special tile

Multitasking app is a little tricky

Dock4droid can b downloaded from the play store but dial dock can't so search the apk on Google. Once you get it play around with the settings to your liking

Ok,

So my dad gave me his galaxy tablet 10.1 from korea and the following is some information:

MODEL: SHW-M38OS

32GB WIFI 3G

White Color

Android Version: 3.2

Build number

HTK75D.EK10 SHW-M38OS.Ek10.1321

I thought as long as I changed the language to English, I should be all set until I tried to download netflix on google play and it told me its not downloadable in my country...Except i live in California. I understand that it still thinks im in korea i guess.

If I want this to work 100% in the US, should I root it and put a custom rom in it? recommendations?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] MSTRoyal:
defently yes!

Hey I dont see a reason for not rooting your Tab

There are so many great Rom's out there that its harder to decide wich rom to flash than the decision of rooting or not I think.

I mean you can even get Android 4.1.2 for our beloved Tab - AOKP is running very stable and fast with lots of working tweaks!

But if you don't want to root, try a stock rom that fits your location.

You can find severel stock roms on sammobile.com

So its up you

You can stuck with the chains of your device's stock rom or

feel the freedom with a rooted custom rom of your choice! ;)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] flyalexair:
ok sweet!!! thanks so much for the information.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] paulieboy2112:
If you don't want to change your rom you can use Market Unlocker (works perfectly on my italian device), but you need root permissions anyway.

Yes, unlock it and install the latest US firmware or a custom ROM.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Ok, I have a google voice account. I have a google voice number. I am in an area right now where I can only use wifi. I am perfectly able to use my google voice number to send and recieve text messages but I can not place outgoing calls. When I choose a person to call, I get the prompt to either make a call using google voice, or make a call without google voice. I obviously choose to make a call with google voice. Now, after I choose that option, it tries to make the call using my network connection and since I dont have any service at the moment, it says "no network available". How do I get google voice to use the wifi connection instead of the network connection, to make the outgoing calls? Isn't that the whole point of google voice? The text messages work fine. Thanks guys.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike.r.olson:
Outgoing calls use your cellular connection. You could try GrooveIP in the play store, however I had hit-or-miss success (mostly miss) using it. It seems to be about as reliable as T-Mob's wifi calling, which again is hit-or-miss.

Keep calm and flash on...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Yea I seem to have gotten it to work pretty good. I really had to mess with all the settings though on both google voice and groove ip. Thanks guys. I have figured out that google voice cannot make and recieve calls over wifi but it can make and receive calls over your mobile network. But here is the problem. When I finally got in an area where I had regular service, i tried just using the google voice to make calls over my mobile network and for some reason I cant get that to work. I can get groove ip to make and receive calls over my mobile network but google voice just does not want to make calls either way (wifi or mobile network). If anyone knows why, let me know please. Thanks.

How to back stock rom.I have v20q.kdz file.My phone stuck on lg logo.Work on KDZ FW UPD?

Solved
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sbarajas:
Hello to everyone,

First of all, for anyone to think anything weird, my girlfriend has the phone bill.

Anyway, a week ago, my girlfriend lost the phone (we thought he had been dropped on the street). Therefore we call Movistar (Spanish operator) to block the IMEI.

The fact is that the phone appeared in my house 4 days ago, so we went back with the phone and the bill to a movistar's shop to have it deblock. What was our surprise when we were told it could not be done (which I doubt, but ...) and got a new phone.

The thing is, now we have two phones that are exactly. The one she had (blocked) and the new. Is there any way by we could re-use the one she had?, That thus she would stay with his life-long and the other would be for his brother (who is going to change of company and not want to buy new phone) .

greetings
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Was wondering if anyone might of experienced it (although it's kind of hard to tell if it's even happening).

I noticed earlier I was playing a game that my tablet was pretty warm, and then I immediately went to Rom Toolbox. My governor was set at Performance, and both sliders at 1.7GHz, but I noticed the clock speed going down in increments of 100MHz (1.7GHz to 1.6GHz to 1.5GHz to 1.4GHz) and then back up to max, and it did this a few times and then finally stuck at 1.7GHz, when the tablet was a little bit cooler (I think).
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
While running StabilityTest (the CPU+GPU Stability Test on Full Details), clock speeds are constantly changing between 1400MHz, 1500MHz, 1600MHz, and 1700MHz with the Performance governor in-use. The top-left of the tablet is also noticeably warm.

Edit: It drops to 1300MHz and even 1200MHz at times too as the test goes on. Might drop lower depending on how long it's ran.
