If screen real estate is your thing then I would suggest a note 2. Personally the nexus 4 screen is great, I do prefer bigger screens but I love the soft keys. To each his own.

By the way the S3 is a great phone, whatever you chose you have a winner.
[Nexus 4 General] uppon2:
The note 2 is slightly too large for me. The SGS 3 is the only other device I'm considering at the moment. Can you tell me why you love the soft keys?
[Nexus 4 General] Traviizter:
You can add additional functions to your keys without needing an onscreen solution, since the nav bar is already there. Google Now launches much quicker and with AOKP you can add more options to the nav ring itself, I use it for screenshots and screen off etc (I want a Nexus 4 but I'm stuck with my Xperia until LG/Google sort it out).
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Because it gives the interface a cleaner look. No hardware buttons, no long presses to see the recent apps. It makes navigating throughout the phone more seamless if that makes sense. Plus when you watch a video they disappear so you get your full screen when really needed. Besides, you can easily customise them since its part of the screen.
[Nexus 4 General] stormtroopercs:
It's not Google who is not allowing developers to hide the buttons. It's the developers.... They could easily implement it but they choose not too.
[Nexus 4 General] uppon2:
Can I somehow remove the navbar completely and have gestures for everything else? lol launcher features would give me most of what I need.

Edit* I read up :)
[Nexus 4 General] darll:
2 gig ram makes my nexus 4 stutter free.. I have had my browser open with 10 tabs for 2 days and it's still open....In this time I have launched lots of apps and played games like Asphalt 7 and Modern Combat....Still I hit that recent apps button, click on my browser and all my tabs pop up like I just opened it 5 secs ago.....This even handles multi tasking better than my galaxy note 10.1(ANOTHER GREAT MULTI TASKING DEVICE EVEN WITH TOUCHWIZ OVERLAY)

Nexus 4 is one of the best device ever made....My one and only complaint is battery life
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Yep, apps stay in ram forever, 2 gigs of Ram is really great to have. Battery life is actually pretty good for me. I would highly recommend matrix kernel, you will have good battery life.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Coming from a One X, one thing I will say in favour of the 'soft' keys is that they make the phone more comfortable to use. I find them easier to reach with my thumb during one handed use.
[Nexus 4 General] mrmassador:
It would be amazing if someone could confirm this

but when I hit the multi-tasking button on my Nexus 4, there is roughly a .5 second delay from hitting the multi-tasking button key to seeing the list of recent apps, give or take a few seconds depending on what app I'm hitting the button from. From games in particular, such as Temple run, there is a solid 1ish second delay from opening the app from the recent apps list anda bout a half second delay from hitting the multi-tasking button from Temple Run. I'm just wondering if anyone else experiences this same sort of "lag."
[Nexus 4 General] :
Temple Run is Heavy Game. There will be delay (Not Lag). Although I've seen on WP8, that they are more responsive in similar situation.

But still, that.0.5 second or whatever it is, don't call it lag. Its just a delay.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Yeah everyone does experience that but its not a lag its a delay like the person above me said. Maybe i might help if you go to the settings under developer options and change the animation transition scale :confused: not sure though.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
How is a short delay not lag exactly?
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Its not. Its not a stutter, its just the animation speed.
[Nexus 4 General] m4r0v3r:
It'd be awesome if there was realtime multitasking. I guess as a former n900 and n9 user I don't appreciate it when I go out of an application. Go back to it and its restarting itself
[Nexus 4 General] ock:
Does anyone here experience an occasional delay in the thumbnail generation in the recent apps menu? When the thumbnails aren't all fully loaded, trying to switch to an app brings me to my home screen after tapping on a thumbnail
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
The apps that restart when you get back to them are just badly written apps. Okay maybe "badly written" is just too harsh, they just dont make use of the multitasking feature in Android. Blame the apps, not the system.
[Nexus 4 General] davwman:
Recent apps button is my favorite part of this phone.
[Nexus 4 General] mrmassador:
Thank you so much! I can't tell you how reassuring that is!
[Nexus 4 General] m4r0v3r:
no its true they are badly written applications, one particular one is the simpsons tapout one that everytime i check a text, it reloads. but it's a system that gives power to these applications, it's just something I prefer to be in control of, am praying the ubuntu phone is realtime multitasking.
[Nexus 4 General] speedyjay:
I came from the note 2 also, and to think their is a phone just as powerful with almost identical specs but different chipsets, its amazing! And this phone is almost half the price of the note 2....I'm dead pleased with the nexus 4! :)
[Nexus 4 General] tomi.tomi:
Hello All,

I purchased a Nexus 4 two weeks ago, and I really like it: beautiful and fast.

Before buying it I read this forum, also this topic about the multitasking experience. Unfortunately mine is quite different...

You wrote here in different posts:

" I launched templed run ( that I haven't used in 4 days at least) and the game was counting down 3,2,1.... And resumed!"

and

"17 show up in the recent apps menu, and even the ones that aren't listed in running, activate seamlessly, no need to load."

and

"I start up games and apps, and try to trick the phone into stuttering. I cant. is any other stock android close to this?"

My phone can run around 6-8 apps in the background, and when I open new apps, it starts closing the old ones. For example Temple Run 2: after around 5 minutes in the background it's killed, and loaded again if I open it again.

I don't understand what I do wrong, I didn't modify any developer option, the Background process limit is "Standard". I regularly check the used RAM in Settings/Apps/Running, and I always have minimum 1 GB free. It seems half of the 2 GB is never used...

I use stock Android 4.3, no root, all my installed apps are from the Play Store.

My phone is still very fast, but it is not like you described it here in this topic.

Do you have any idea what I can do?

Thanks!

(and sorry for my English)
[Nexus 4 General] tomi.tomi:
Nobody? Or did I write this in the wrong thread?

I searched the forum, and found these:

- [Q] How to improve multitasking? --- exactly the same problem!

- Why is there a limit for the number of applications running in the Background? --- very similar issue

Your help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] badboy47:
Hmm I came up with something in the developers mode. Try it; see if it improves it. Check the image.
[Nexus 4 General] tomi.tomi:
Thanks for the reply! No, unfortunately this doesn't help, I never modified this setting, it's always been "Standard limit".

You know - as I already wrote - the phone is still very fast. I wouldn't ever complain if I hadn't read this thread before buying it. But now I have high expectations: to run 20 apps in the background, to continue Temple Run after 4 days (as someone wrote here one year ago), etc. My Nexus 4 is far below this. And for some reason I always have at least 1 GB free RAM.

It is very annoying and I don't have any idea what I could do...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -Falco:
I was wondering what was the best method to record to your sgs2 screen. I use a computer screen recorder and use air droid to send video to my computer screen. Any free apps our other ways to record screen?
[LG Thrill 4G] animalex1:
Hey everyone-The Lg Thrill I have seems to have become corrupt, so that every time it reboots, it's stuck in the same settings and applications. Every time I reset, any applications or files I installed are gone, and all of my settings are reset to the way they were in a past state. I've done the all the resets possible and still no luck. Is there any way to fix this?
[LG Thrill 4G] mew905:
Sorry for thread resurrecting. I'm trying to fix my roommates phone and having the same issue. Tried hard reset, factory reset, manually deleting apps, Recovery reset, nothing seems to work, same apps and settings, even on the SD card (yes, I did try to manually remove them via the phone), Once the phone is turned back on (it doesnt reset on its own for some reason) it'll be exactly how it was before I removed or reset anything. In fact, the only thing that DID change permanently was removing the screen lock. I wouldnt really care because it's set up the way he wants it, but it's been having connectivity issues (texts take hours to recieve or notify and phone calls drop out frequently, even in good signal areas) and I'm frequently getting crash errors, usually regarding On-screen, Google Play and USB mode.

My Windows 7 PC doesn't seem to recognize it either, it fails installing the drivers on its own and after finding a legacy LG support tool that supports the Thrill, only recognizes mass storage mode.
[LG Thrill 4G] drastic00:
If it was me I would try to flash a firmware. If what you have is simply corrupt system or whatnot, doing so would fix that

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2195753

FYI proper driver install (i.e. part one there, the 'tricky' part...) is critical for a good flash.

I'd try that first to see how it goes and take it from there.

And FYI, all the good Thrill info is over in Optimus 3D (P920) section...same device, but Thrill is US ATT branded. I have a Thrill (P925).

Hi, I tried to flash a few different radios, and then back to the original one and it seems like it isn't reading my sim card anymore... I'm not sure if I am flashing it correctly. I booted into the recovery mode and installed zip from internal and chose the radio zip file. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
What recovery r u using?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcskateboard9:
CWM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] stoopendis:
I'd recommend twrp or sk8ers latest.. Then I would make sure the radio you chose is compatible with your phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcskateboard9:
Well I got the radios I tried from threads in this forum, so I'm pretty sure they are all compatible... but do I install twrp the same way I did CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
if u r using the correct recoveries, clear caches, flashing the radio again , sometimes it doesnt take when doing it only once, even removing battery after flashing the radio might help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcskateboard9:
Okay, I got the recovery from your thread so I hope it's right :P thanks for that by the way got my phone rooted pretty fast. I tried installing the radio like 4 times in a row because I saw that you said that in another thread, but it still says that I don't have a SIM card in... I'll try removing the battery for a little and see if that helps..

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

now u tell us you are trying tmobile, you should of stated as such, so to confirm, you are on the tmobile network, you should post in those threads to resolve your probs, i think theres another thread talking about which radio to use and how to set it up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcskateboard9:
I didn't think that it was relevant to my problem that I'm trying to get on T-Mobile... the main problem is that after flashing every radio my phone won't read my sim card and I found those threads but they didn't say how to actually do anything with the radios so I just tried the CWM way
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
cwm is the way, but tmobile doesnt use the same frequency as att/rogers radios, so att/rogers radios wont work for tmobile as tmobile uses the aws bands,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dcskateboard9:
Okay, well I went back to stock using your guide, and it reads the sim card now, and I put on TWRP as suggested, so I can't just flash the radios from those threads and it will work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] The_Blue_Waffle:
Have you sim unlocked the phone :rolleyes:

Yes, it is unlocked I can get T-mobile signal, but only on the Edge network, I want to get 4g to work

i got one of those rotating cases with the ugly velcro back for 5 bucks a while back, been forgetting about these with the circle in the back ones and non obtrusive bezel which i prefer over the one that covers the whole screen edges

for 8.99 in various color, i'd suppose its a good deal, similar ones are usually over 15 or sold in a bundle with crappy accessories on ebay
[Nexus 7 Accessories] alferret:
I got one like this from flebay for 6 quid its OK, bit bulky and I could never get it to be usable in portrait as every time I touched the screen it would fall over, landscape was OK tho.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Troute:
I'm using one just now after my other case broke. I don't like it much, same problem as alferret plus it's clunky and doesn't sit right in my hands when the cover is open. It will do until I find something better though.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] clioke16v:
Same here. For me it's rubish for that reason. I got a original case now. Works fine.

there is however another brand that I think some of you might be referring to, there is a similar one that comes with the whole bezel covered, maybe its that one you guys have instead?

Nope, it's the same as your first post. It's cheap and it does the job but there are better ones out there for the same money depending on your needs.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahasmb:
Okay, so I'm sure plenty of you have seen the news about how the dormant LTE radio on the Nexus 4 can be turned on to work with certain frequencies by using the *#*#4636#*#* command.

This command is new to me and so I figured I'd try it out on my Nexus S to see what it could do. Got to it easy enough and switched around the network types for a minute or two. Then when I satisfied my curiosity I figured I'd just change the network type back to the default "WCDMA preferred" and go on about my day.

Wrong.

My phone is now stuck on EDGE. I have turned it on and off, toggled airplane mode, toggled data, pulled the battery out for more than 10 minutes (I know it's very excessive) turned the phone off for a couple of hours, made sure that in the phone's Settings that "Use only 2G networks" is NOT checked, all to no avail.

On the 17th, when I did a speedtest on my phone, my download speed was 6183 kbps. Today, its around 167-180 kbps. Consistently.

I have made no other changes to the phone. And just to make sure that it isn't a Rogers network thing and that it is indeed my phone, I put my SIM card in my old HTC Dream. It got 3G just fine. And its download speed was a few mbps as well (about 2mbps).

I'm currently using CM 10.0.0 and am using the same radio I have been using for months with no problems (I9020XXKB3).

I honestly thought my little experiment would be as harmless as using Android's "Use only 2G networks."

Oh, as it's been quite a few hours, I've done my fair of research and found that people who had this problem somehow lost their IMEI. Mine is perfectly (especially since I haven't made any changes to my phone). It's value in about phone matches the IMEI written under my battery.

I hope I've been thorough enough. I have tried everything I could think of and done my Googling.

Anyone have any ideas on what else I can try?

179 kbps download speed is really painful ...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePoncho86:
Put the code back in, and change the type back from wcdma back to whatever it was, this should fix your problem because WCDMA uses different frequencies for anything above edge. Frequencies that rogers does not transmit in. So changing it back will allow you to use 3g/H again

Sent from my awesome Nexus S
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahasmb:
Default setting was "WCDMA preferred" and that's what I've left it at.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] towelboy:
Why not factory reset?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePoncho86:
you can try a reset, flashing a new rom, or if you're feeling particularly crazy, try using the different settings (other than wcdma), and see if it works.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahasmb:
I've tried all the other settings. And I really don't want to resort to a factory reset even with a nandroid backup.

Surely, there must be a straightforward fix to this.

Edit: Okay, problem solved.

Instead of changing the "Set preferred network type:", I pressed menu, chose "select radio band" and randomly selected "AUS2 Band."

It worked! Don't ask me how or why as I live in Canada, but I don't care! I never even touched this menu before. So strange ...

Edit 2: Umm... I can't find the mark "solved" option.

I've tried to change the settings including the mode and exposure but same issue. Like I said when I am about to take a picture and looking at the screen, lighting is great, I take the picture but then when it hits the gallery it is so much darker.

Any ideas? I changed over from the nexus s which always took awsome pics and this is supposed to be better so any help would be appreciated.

I have not gone to a custom rom yet fyi.

appreciate the help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SGSIIIUser:
I notice that too. I think it's because the phone automatically turns brightness all the way up in the camera app, then it goes back to the brightness you set to when you exit the camera app. So that makes the picture turns out to look a lot darker.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dr.devman:
try wiping the app data
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidcactus:
bit of a novice so if you might explain the steps involved would be appreciated thank you in advance...

seems like the first suggestion helped the gallery show up brighter. what I did was go in and uncheck the automatic display and just set at a higher brightness.

any other suggestions always welcome

I used Hasoon2000's HTC All-In-One Kit to root my phone. That all worked.

The issue came when i flashed a new kernel. I placed the boot.img from King Kang's new ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1959099)

Anyway, When i boot I get the HTC, quietly brilliant logo, and this in red letters "This build is for development purposes only. Do not distrubute... "

i can boot into recovery (pwr+ vol down)

And i get the ***TAMPERED*** AND ***unlocked*** tags at the top

I don't know where to go from here...

Thanks for the help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ccamwilkins:
Also, whenever i boot into recovery or factory reset, neither succeed.

This was probably known info, just wanted to add it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skeeterdrums:
You mentioned in your original post that you could boot into recovery, so is that not working now? Factory reset might've fubared the recovery piece, so you could do one of two things:

1) download the original RUU version for your phone, relock your phone, and flash the RUU and start over.

2) try reinstalling TWRP.

This whole thing sounds like trying to install a kernel or fastboot flash a boot.img without SuperSU correctly installed. This is what happened to me when I first unlocked my phone and tried to fastboot flash the CM10 boot.img after failing the flash from recovery twice. Without that super-user permission, bad things tend to happen. If you decide to continue on with reinstalling TWRP, make sure SuperSU.zip is flashed successfully from

TWRP, then try your rom/kernel combination again (or even a different combination if you're apprehensive).

BEWARE: sometimes partially flashing these things can corrupt your sd card. I had to reflash the original RUU to fix my phone BEFORE I rerooted and flashed a rom/kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] InflatedTitan:
Have you fastbooted a SU to your phone after you rooted and unlocked? I'd imagine you did if you followed the toolkit.. So your on 2.20... Just download cleanrom 5.1 on your computer. Mount sdcard via recovery and drag cleanrom onto phone. Flash entire rom in recovery. I bet it works ;)

Once your on a stable rom, download king kang from your phone. Download flashgui. Open flashgui app, navigate to king kang and let it find the boot img and flash it for you.. Once successful, immediately boot into recovery and flash entire rom through twrp.

Success
