[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
The Nexus 4 is my first Nexus device, and people are saying to root and unlock bootloaders and all that.

Why should you root a nexus device? I'm not planning on putting any custom Roms because the stock ROM already pleases me enough.

If you rooted your device, why did you do it? I don't know if I should take the plunge, because I'm perfectly happy ATM with it not rooted.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
If you're happy without root and you don't know what root does, then don't root. It's for people wanting more out of their phone than is possible with stock
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
The thing is I know what root is and does, but does it make sense with a pure Google nexus phone? I just need the pros. Don't get me wrong, I want to make the jump but idk why I should
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Struck89:
I would do it to be able to use the programs that require super user. Titanium Backup for example, if I want to restore my games.

Don't do if you are not sure what are you going to do with that.

EDIT: "idk why I should", maybe then it's not completely true "The thing is I know what root is and does". In my case I would first get very well informed (I don't want to break my phone), and then proceed. Just in case that someday I need an app with superuser permissions. And unlocking the bootloader first of all, I don't want to lose everything the day I decide to do it.

PD: I must wait 5 minutes, maybe my edit looks odd by then
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerman19:
I've always at minimum unlocked the bootloader, even if I don't plan on taking it much further. Reason being is the forced wipe when/if you do decide to later.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timvdlinde:
If I unlock and root it. Will it be easy to restore, so I have warranty and can send it back to Google?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Yep, just lock it the same way you unlocked it "fastboot oem lock" after flashing stock 4.2 from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam

If we are talking just plain rooting... I mainly do that to install adfree android, as well as allowing tasker access to higher level settings, and allowing me to access protected files (I recently replaced my default browser with one that I made some modifications in the code). I also use of titanium backup, but lately I haven't had need for it.... but its nice to have
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Pro:

AD BLOCK - This is the most important reason for me, and the reason I use to convince friends who just don't know computers stuff, let alone android.

Back Up - The ability to completely back up the phone is just golden. I think I don't have to explain why backing up is important, or why you might want to back up your contacts, text message, saved games, etc. all at the same time instead of doing each of them individually.

Yes, there is a cloud. But do you totally trust the sync service and cloud's server?

Cons:

Rooting voids warranties - But you can unroot and relock the bootloader later.

Not getting OTA - You can always sideload it. All it takes is a few command line on the computer and a few touch on your device.

Edit: I was wrong about the not getting OTA part. But, still, you can always sideload OTA if you can't get OTA.

Needless to say, I root every single of my Android phone a few hours after I get them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
So if i root i won't be able to get the ota update, wow thats pretty lame, I know there is an app to keep the root.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy:
Wrong. My phone is rooted ( running stock rom ) and I received OTA update.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
You only don't get OTA with root if you modify/delete certain system files (such as apps)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pedro Peguero Jr.:

Hi everyone!

I am use cm10 fxp148 but I can't edit build.prop or anyone system file without my device stuck in bootlogo after reboot.

There is fxp kernel or rom issue?

And There are any fix?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Wagierek:
I don't know if it was done on purpose or it's a bug, but every time you edit the system file on cm10, its permissions automatically change into rw-------. You have to check original ones before editing (for build.prop it's rw-r--r--) and set them again after you edit the file, but before reboot - if you don't change it before reboot, you won't be able to do it after it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
I got a question guys, what happened to the Google Now pedometer card that Google added with the voice search update in the beginning of November? You know, the one that tells you how much you walked and went on bike this month? Kinda liked it but there's nothing to be found on Google where or why it disappeared again. Privacy concerns?

Cheers

qwer23
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] endigo85:
I saw the card on November 1. I'm assuming we'll see it again on December 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qwer23:
So it seems there's no card on December 1 and the pedometer card is gone for good. Bummer.

On a different note, I hope Google Now will get an option to pin cards, so they always appear. I'd like to pin not only the pedometer card, but also more useful stuff like the translate page for example. I don't only need it when I'm in foreign countries, it'd also come quite handy at work sometimes.

I think its hiliarious but I have this friend who swears that his nexus is far better than my gs2. Yeah I have a slightly lower resolution but thats it. I have a proc that will oc to 1.86ghz, gpu that will oc up to what 320mhz. Oh wait I have an sd card slot whoot. He thinks that benchmarks dont tell the truth about a phone, well thats what they are made for to test, ram, cpu, graphics its all there. I guess you just cant convince everyone. It's funny because he says my phone is old and im not even using JB so that'll make it that much more quick when I upgrade. But what ev's

I think this phone matches nexus easily in every aspect almost. Nexus is not better. This phone has great developers and there's nothing it can't do that the nexus can.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
Indeed.

Besides, the Nexus 4 thread is actually spammed with people having problems with the phone, phone "breaks" randomly in their pocket, pics of broken Nexus 4s, etc

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
I gotta laugh at everyone that said the n4 blowwwwws the t989 out of the water in every way. Lol

First....go to the n4 forum and read the problems people are having.

Second ...a friend of mine got one...I played with it a bit. Severely unimpressed. Sure its speedy....but barely quicker than my t989. The display looks like crap compared to mine. And it simply seems fragile! Very!

I will hold on to my Hercules til it breaks or my contract ends and I feel like replacing it. Maybe. My phone does everything I want it too very well. So until phones will do my dishes and tune up my car....I'll maybe stick with what I got. Lol

As far as the n4 goes.....I doubt I'd even trade my phone for it. Actually ....no....I wouldn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lonz358:
Had a T989 but switched to Nexus 4 and believe me this phone is better in every way... screen, battery life, look and feel, great build quality, super fast and smooth, the two gigs of ram makes multitasking a joy, and I don't have to wait for xda developers to bring me the latest updates... all I can say is get you one ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AshtonTS:

If XDA frowns upon opinions....let them say so....otherwise shhhhh. Wow!

P.s. the only crying I've seen in this thread is from you....crying about noobs and their inferior opinions. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Seriously though to each his own I like sg2 thats just my preference.. Some like htc and motorola phones to me most of them are ugly damn phones but just my opinion. You like what you want as long as your happy with it right? That"s all that counts in the end of the battle of the phones. I am happy with my hercules for now!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
+1. Well put!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I'm patiently waiting for shipping orders to finish. Then I'm selling this t989 and jumping ship back onto the Nexus. As far as what the guy up top said about development on the Nexus, clearly he's new to XDA. No phone has more dev support than the Nexus line does. In fact, much of your favorite AOSP roms were built and first released on Nexus devices. Not only that but Nexus devices always get Google's newest OS' first. The t989 doesn't even have full Jelly Bean GPU driver support.. you guys don't even know what project butter truly is yet.

Second, the t989s dual core s3/adreno 220 SoC cannot in anyway whatsoever compete with the quad s4 pro/adreno 320 SoC. You can clock this phone as high as you want and score 9000 on antutu and its still not enough to beat the 13,000 the s4 pro SoC averages.. and that's on stock builds.

Third, if you say the 720p IPS display isn't better than the 480p over saturated SAMOLED display on the t989, clearly you're either blind or couldn't tell a good display if one took a dump on your eyeballs. While blacks will never be as deep, color reproduction is much better on the Nexus 4. And if Voodoo follows suit like on the other Nexus devices, well be able to tweak and calibrate the screen to our will.

Battery life? Nexus 4 wins hands down. Build quality? The t989 looks like crap compared to the Nexus 4.

Working for T-Mobile, I've already played with about 4 Nexus 4s. They're beautiful devices. Super fast and smooth.

Now stop hating and come back to reality. This phone wasn't even better than the other GSIIs, let alone any flagship device released this year. We can all use the "my phone does everything well" excuse but frankly, so can my old single core Nexus S.

With that being said, you kids can continue making up all sorts of crazyness up in trying to justify your purchase over a brand new handset that's better in every conceivable way. It makes for some great comedy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Don't take it so personal is all. No one was "crying" and some don't need the fastest phone on earth to be perfectly happy.

Seems the phone crowd has some min/maxers....which is fine ...their choice. I don't have a top of the line gaming computer either....my laptop "does what I want it to do" just fine. Just like my Hercules.

I will be keeping this phone for some time. I could buy an n4, or anything else for that matter, tomorrow .....but I feel no need to. That's me. Maybe not you.

Can't we all use whatever phone we want without the hate?

Read the n4 forum....many....many people saying the same things I said about the n4....I didnt make a call tho....so guess I missed out on hearing the buzzing everyone is excited about! Lol. Bottom line....for me.....never bought an LG product I was happy with.

Take care dude....guess you'll be off to live in the n4 forums! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Well see, your opinion makes sense. I can dig that. Unfortunately that's not the OPs reasoning as he full out stated that the t989 is better. You can be happy with whatever device you want. You can't take that away from anyone. But facts are facts. And this device doesn't come anywhere close to a Nexus 4. That's all I'm saying. :D

Anyways this thread is troll bait. Someone close it lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Nice! Lol. Telling people in the n4 forum to come troll this thread!

Enjoy your n4....don't drop it 3 feet tho....heard bad things will happen! Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
I won't. I haven't even dropped my t989 once in the 9 months I've had it. Don't jinx me though! And yea I told them to troll. This thread is troll bait. Thought it would make for a good show >:D haha
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lonz358:
Dropped it twice, waist high, No problems here :) seriously it's a phone with glass, just like the t989(don't think the t989 has gorilla glass 2 though) but if your not careful its going to break like every other phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Awesome sauce. Did you get the bumper for your N4 or a case? Some kid came in my store with an N4 with this sweet ass brushed aluminum bumper. Really made the device look bad ass.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zealtor:
No, I wish I had gotten the bumper but it went out of stock before I could get to it. I ordered two of those S-line TPU cases off e-bay ($3.50 shipped for both!). I'll use those until some good brand name cases come out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sirdowski:
Pshhh Hater.

Right on though, these are all the things I've been hearing. Lame a** question, but how's it feel in your hand?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zealtor:
It has a very nice and solid feel in your hand. The glass back is slippery but the rubbery sides give you a lot of grip. The best part is there is absolutely no flex or creaking on it anywhere. It definitely feels like a premium device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
Last I heard, t989 wins because a nexus 4g lte is an imaginary phone.

Phones that actually exist have better performance than pretend ones in one's imagination.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] supersain08:
It has LTE (at least here in Canada)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Imaginary? The hell are you talking about? If you're referring to LTE do a little research. The Nexus 4 has an LTE radio Google tucked away in there. Google it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8Fishes:
There is no such device that google supports that is called a "nexus 4g".

Let's list all four google supported nexus phones shall we?

Nexus One

Nexus S

Galaxy Nexus

Nexus 4

Note how none of them have a "4g".

4g is a feature, if you are talking about that then it has been a feature of a nexus phone since S.

Likewise, LTE does not appear in any of the titles, and is a feature.

If you are referring to the left over radio band 4 in the Nexus 4, I suppose it MIGHT qualify as an LTE phone but with little to no support in the areas it is sold it is a useless feature. All it would do now is drain your battery faster.

There you have it. Nexus 4G LTE is an imaginary phone that gets beat out by a real T989 phone you can hold in your hand.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zealtor:
Really? By that logic the T989 people are sounding like Steve Jobs himself. I mean common, saying the hercules is a good as the nexus 4 is like saying that it's as good as a galaxy S3 or a Droid DNA. Would these people like to include these phones as well in their list of phones that the T989 is as good as?

Unless you have owned both phones (like I have), your opinion holds no weight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garth719:
Loll I'm kidding i know it's better. I'm sure you all had a heart attack over this. But yeah it's comparably better in every way.. But the t989 is still effing good and you can get the same Google experience...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackwing182:
IMO as a old developer, I used motorola for to long, jumped to LG phones, the jumped to hawei or what ever is called, i got a Miui Phone(sold it) i moved to HTC ( i owned a HTC sensation 4G and a HTC one S , sold them both) and then my life sudently changed, I buy a Samsung Phone, The T mobile Samsung Galaxy s2 T989, the best phone i ever owned(still using it) and all these crapy phone i used, are no compared to this baby (hercules).

if you want a good phone wait for samsung to releas (if they do) another Nexus Phone or , just simply Buy a Samsung Galaxy s3, or a Galaxy Note 2.

samsung is the best phone manufact out there, these phones are strong quality made.

So you better watch out on how you spend your money on phones, and as long Cyanogenmod will exist i dont need to buy a phone directly From Google. remember that AOSP is your best friend and it will never let you down.

also if you want a good developer phone, check xda phone forums and look for a phone that have good developers :) .

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] garth719:
I was kidding.

Yeah I know and it was ignorant.. And so was your one about how we shouldn't be entitled to our opinions... But anyways here's the truth. On paper.. The nexus 4 is better in terms of hardware.. But definitely doesn't blow the t989 out of the water. But it is "better." Good enough to make me wanna drop 400 for it? Absolutely NOT. T989 is still a beast of a device

The nexus is definitely a better phone but it is also new. The galaxy 4 will bee better than the nexus 4. And the nexus 5 will better than the galaxy 5. And so it goes.

Regarding development, the og evo had (and still does) a community that put most to shame. The phone I'm currently holding is a much better device but there isn't anywhere near the development support for it. But maybe that's because it's a better device and doesn't need as much.

Oh, this phone was free and you can't say that for the nexus 4.
