[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mintvilla:
In your opinion, in my opinion it is the flawless device (LTE hasnt took off in The UK and expandable storage on android device is rubbish in my opinion - can't use the space as you want to, like install app data to the SD card?)

I came from the GS3, the put the buttons on the Bezel..... trying to hold that phone in landscape mode to play games was a nightmare..... my palm was constantly hit the menu button... i know some people have this dream of an edge to edge display, but No.... Bezels are required so you can actually hold your phone. The onscreen buttons are fantastic... watching a video no problem they just disappear and you get the full 4.7 inch screen, turn your phone around and the buttons follow you, so they are always the right way round, If you root your phone, then you can even change them to add extra buttons, or less buttons or change the image and colours of the buttons to whatever suits your need.

In all, i love the software buttons, if you don't like them, why buy the phone? i wouldnt buy somthing i knew i didnt like.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzanette:
I wasn't sure about the on-screen software buttons until I used my Nexus 4 vs. my wife's Galaxy S3 and the soft-keys. I much prefer the Nexus 4 and software buttons. Many times when i'm using the Galaxy S3 and I'm in an app, i'll grip the phone or turn it sideways and accidentally press one of the soft keys cause it's on the bezel. With the Nexus 4 I never accidentally press the button because I i grip the phone on the bezel and the buttons are on the screen itself. Makes more sense to me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeledKaki:
I wouldn't say it's the main problem with the phone, but since they're going in a new direction by implementing the software keys they could've put a little more effort with what you can do with it. I think they are well aware of the users limitation with it and hopefully they will do something about it. With paranoid android users you are able to customize it as stated by one of the users at this thread. But me for example, I would want to keep it stock, Other people might want to root and change roms and they wouldn't mind changing anything.

Other then that I really like the phone! I'm amazed by the price of what it has to offer, it's totally a worthwhile phone!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeledKaki:
I was thinking the exact opposite, When you try to reach for something don't you press the software buttons by accidentally maybe sometimes? Since the software buttons are quite sensetive to touches and they get easily pressed.

OP is late on this "issue" by 1 phone model, GNex

Buttons you can customize + quick multitasking button access > hardware buttons any day
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
My issues with soft buttons:

- It requires a certain level of software to be loaded for them to be functional. It's nice to have capacitive or hard buttons working like on the SGS2 for like 3 button combos or whatever.

- It takes away screen space. The 4.65" GNex is effectively 4.4" And while some apps "hide them" the icons are hidden and replaced with less obtrusive circle dots. But the bar itself is still taking up space. They can be hidden say in like video, but then that's the only time you get a full screen experience.

- It's an effective bezel. People complain capacitive buttons take bottom bezel space. Ok great, but now your soft buttons aren't usable screen space too so it's an effective bezel. Samsung could've built a 4.4" phone with soft buttons at the bottom and it would've looked just like a Gnex. Not sure what Google accomplished. In phones like the S3, they minimized bezel and kept the bottom buttons as close as they could to the bottom of the phone. If you did that with a screen, your soft keys would still act like the buttons in the S3. No advantage.

- In moving to 3 buttons Google discarded the menu button. So apps bring it back. SOmetimes its on the top. Sometimes its on the bottom, awkwardly inserted between the task switcher and the edge. You get 3 sexy buttons spaced out evenly with 1 jammed in there. WTF is the point. And if most apps require menu functionality, why do you insist on them wasting that space in the app itself? THe inconsistency of having it on the top or bottom is annoying. You might as well bring back the 4 button layout.

- Furthermore by removing the search button, Google removed in app search. Long press home should still be used as the task switcher like on legacy phones. It's far more useful. By pushing Google Now, they made Long press home all for Google Now. A dedicated search button can be used for long press Google Now/Voice Search, and tap for in app search. It's useful in apps like Maps or Yelp to hit search and bring up the text input in app. With phones this big now, if I'm busy with my hands at the bottom with the 3 buttons, I don't want to shift my hand and stretch my thumb to hit the top just to invoke the text field, and to bring it back down to start typing again.

- There really is no advantage of soft buttons except for video watching, and having maximum space.

- You can still use HTC's Incredible S strategy with an actual LCD for the capacitive buttons so that the icons rotate when you rotate your screen.

- Some people say with the GNex, it's harder to mispress buttons because in the S3 the buttons are too close to the edge of the phone. The GNex's soft buttons allow a fat bezel to distance from your palm. Okay, so if Samsung just added a 1cm bezel before the buttons at the bottom, then it could've accomplished the same thing.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
I prefer capacitive buttons, but the software buttons don't necessarily bother me. They work just fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrbkkt1:
Lol. BlackBerry os2 for playbook (and upcoming os10) does it the best. No onscreen buttons at all, only bezel gestures. Once you get used to it,you never want to push buttons, physical, onscreen or capacitive again. Personally, I look forward to using onscreen buttons as different than my sensations cap buttons. I hate the home button on the gs3 though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
give me my whole screen back
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greefus:
I like them. What I miss is the search button, but it was basically ruined on phones that got updated to ICS. On Gingerbread and earlier, search button could be used to search that particular app, like email, market, youtube, etc. After ICS, you hit the button and it wants to search your whole phone, the internet, and everything you have with Google instead of something specific to the app. I would really like it to be like how Ctrl-F works in desktop browsers and apps for find on page, but it never really worked that way with the stock android browser anyway.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosemachinegun:
One strong advantage I found is that with a full rotation unlocking app I can use the phone upside down. That's pretty awesome since I was annoyed that LG placed the headphone phone jack on the top. Thanks to the software keys I can use my phone as if the placement never changed from the GNex.

5.5h it varies but that's an average.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KestrelX:
9hrs. (I don't play much in the way of games)

[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AztlanUnderground:
Only went thru' 3 battery cycles here, after the initial one i got 9h30 screen on time each time, i don't play games either.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdmark:
8-9 hours for me. little to no gaming
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WackyClash:
Could you guys past your screen brightness that you normally user also... That has a lot to do with battery life. I , for instance, have my brightness at about 40% at any given time.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duarian:
My personal best was 10.5 hours of screen time on a 48 hour battery cycle. No gaming, just web surfing, streaming google music occasionally. This was mostly reading comics on comicwrack.

Edit: lowest brightness possible as I read in the dark.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnyguy:
I really like to know how u guys get that on screen time 10 hours ?

The most I can get is ,maybe 5-6.

Something is not right here. Either people reading screen time wrong or something....

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

I get the same at 40% brightness.

I don't believe 9-10hours.

I wana see proof of that
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redthunda69:
Around 6 hours of heavy use.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WackyClash:
Is battery life improvable through a software update? Kind if off topic ..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalingrin:
I've gotten 7-9 hours every time on a mix of auto brightness and manual set around 15%.

Anything higher than 25% is uncomfortable for me unless I'm outside or something.

This is primarily web browsing and such. Videos drain a bit faster and games much much faster.

There's plenty of proof in the various posts about battery life.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YeledKaki:
I would say about 4h. I'm in a really critical position..
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eager27:
Between 6 and 8 hours here depending on what I do with it. Brightness set to lowest setting mostly, Google Now turned off and WiFi set to off during sleep.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamboosensei:
I get from 7-9 hours consistently with wifi off when screen is off and watching shows, browsing xda, Internet, pulse, reddit and occasional gaming for about 10-20 minutes. I once got about 10 hours but that was when mainly reading lecture notes and making my own notes via pen and paper. My brightness is about 15-20 or if it's sunny then around 40%.

Certain apps have a tendency to keep your tablet or even phone awake. You could download 'betterbatterystats' which is on xda somewhere for free and judge what is keeping it up by looking at 'partial wakelocks' or if you are rooted, 'alarms' (what awakes your tablet up when it should be sleeping). Typical culprits for me are Google Now and Maps and for some reason, The Economist app. If you turn off Location Reporting, that can help battery alot, but if you need it on, make sure that the apps which need it aren't unnecessarily waking up your tablet.

No way should you be getting any less than 5-6 really, even if using it at max capacity. I watched around 2 films and a couple of episodes of shows for a max on screen time of about 5-6 hours before and probably still had 30% left.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bobthecooldad:
Would it be possible on the xperia u to have to multiple roms that you can select from on locked bootloader?

eg when you turn on it comes up with a list and you select one and then it boots into that rom.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tadeas482:
I think it isn't possible on locked booloader as it requires a dual (multi) boot kernel.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mta1981:
Hey guys, anyone know why or is having the same problem, I've flashed lots of roms but this time a folder named "0" was created and moved all of the folders and files from the root drive into that "0' folder. Then I flashed another rom and another "0" folder was created within that first folder and moved all the root folder and files into that one. Im using twrp and Im not doing anything different and its driving me nuts cuz everythings being tossed around in there and I dont know why!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
It is happening to me too when I flash ParanoidAndroid on my N7 (although that has been the only rom that I have flashed on it thus far). But what I have been able to gather from reading around is that those sub folders is because of being able to add accounts now to Android. Although I haven't figured out why (or found a response as to why) it is moving them into a legacy folder (I think that is one of the folders is called that the info has been thrown into) and not been kept into the root folder or a way to fix it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
The 0 directory comes with the multiuser function of Android 4.2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mta1981:
K so how can I keep the all the folders being moved
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvanA:
You need to update your recovery. The latest version of TWRP works with the multiuser feature.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TheUnknowing:
It's an EVO 4G LTE, got it when it first came out, stock. No root or anything, never even tried with this phone. Recently it's been refusing to make phone calls. I click someones name to call, the phone freezes for a few seconds or nothing happens. I get the com.android.phone has crashed messaged a lot. Also happens to my messaging app, GO SMS Pro, which crashes pretty frequently as well. What do I do? :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rubyknight:
Sounds like a lack of free memory to me... Do you have a lot of apps installed? I've never had any use for Go apps because they use a ton of memory and cause lag.

Your best bet is to open the task manager app to see what apps are using the most memory and then uninstall them.

The other alternatives are to do a factory reset to wipe your phone, or better yet, root and install a custom Rom with better memory use (meanrom is my suggestion but there are plenty of options)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TheUnknowing:
If that was the case, wouldn't I not experience these problems after immediately force closing everything? Because the problem persists and is pretty random of when it shows up and doesn't.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] noXcape:
When u install apps u give them certain permissions....so when u stop the app it could start back up :(

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IAmSixNine:
You said your phone has been refusing to make phone calls.

Perhaps if you treated your phone better it might do what you ask of it.

If it refuses any more, hard reset it and show it whos boss.

If it clears up then you know right there you had a bad app or a memory issue..
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeeebs:
So I got a refurb tf300 from Woot the other day and it looked and worked like brand new until the touch screen stopped working completely. Left it be for a couple hours and came back to find it working. This happens a couple times a day, it stops and then it starts working. I can occasionally get it to start working again if I flip the device around any which way but there is most certainly an issue with the hardware. I have a feeling it might be some sort of loose touch screen issue.

To make matters worse, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it to run CleanRom (great ROM BTW!)

I've heard Asus's RMA service is a nightmare (especially with it unlocked) so I wanted to check in and see if anyone has heard of this or has any ideas of how to fix it. Since it's clearly hardware related I can probably have them fix it but don't want to be out a tablet for six weeks.

Have already tried a handful of cold boots per recommendations online.

Cheers

HI all,

I have a Q from a Developer Friend and looking to root it and get some more functionality. Without hours of reading can you point me to the most used extra functionality rom.

I was also wondering if I can use the Q's amp function as play through for my other components. Was hoping not to have to buy an A/V receiver but just an hdmi switcher with audio.

[Galaxy Note II General] jetsetwilly:
Not taking sides, but I'll say this; a similar thing happened with my HOX but HTC sent me a brand new one. I've yet to have a problem with my Note but can only hope Samsung will be as good as HTC with returns. But for every good case you hear of a bad one.

Regardless - I feel your pain. Good luck.

BTW I bought both my OneX and my Note via O2 (yes I have 2 running redundant contracts) but I didn't go through O2 with my problems. I'd rather slam me knob in a car door.
[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
Cheers man. When you drop a phone, you'd expect the screen to spider. This is not the case. It's an immaculate hairline fracture. I'm debating whether to get them to send it back to me, so I can take pictures and document it further. During this, I can get it repaired third party and charge O2. I really don't know until I get a reply. All I can say is i'm fuming.
[Galaxy Note II General] Tomo1971:
I would focus some attention to how apple deal with hairline cracks on their handsets and ipod touch's. They can tell what is caused from a manufacturing defect and what is accidental damage.

Also ask if O2's own repair facility checked the phone or Samsung themselves. If not the later get the phone back and send it Samsung.

[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
It's O2's repair center that have my phone. I can't send it to Samsung, as they aren't binded by the regulations which I have described. O2 are in breach of 3 regulations, all in one day.

I have since resent another email showing the video that I posted in my edit. This video depicts the durability of the Galaxy Note 2. This alone is evidence that the device is not fit for the purpose of, which - Under the Sales of Good Act 1979 amended, I am entitled to repair / replace / refurbishment / refund FREE of charge as I, as a customer; Am not satisfied with the quality.

I must admit, as much as I hate Apple - Their procedure for repair and replacement is vastly superior than Samsung's.
[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
I've since found out that this also falls under the EU Directive 1999/44/EC

(If a defect appears during the first six months following purchase the consumer will not have to prove the product was defective at the moment of delivery. The onus will be on the seller to prove the product was without defect. A consumer will have up to two months following the discovery of the fault to inform the seller. If a defect becomes apparent within the two, or one year, period depending on the type of goods, then the consumer has the right to choose a remedy using the following hierarchy. They can

· Demand repair or replacement within a reasonable time and without any significant inconvenience. (Free of charge repair refers to the necessary costs to bring the goods “back to conformity”)

· If this is impossible, unproportionate or cannot be done within a reasonable time or without significant inconvenience then the consumer can demand a price reduction or can rescind the contract (though not if the defect is minor)

All these rights are free of charge to the customer.)

Basically, as it's been 3 months - O2 HAVE to prove that I caused the damage, which will never happen - AS I DID NOT DO THE DAMAGE lol... I resent an email containing hundreds of links with similar devices (All Samsung ironically,) so shall see what happens. Looking optimistic ;) now it's time for bed!
[Galaxy Note II General] Tomo1971:
I'm not talking about the regulations though, Samsung will have the expertise to say if it's a manufacturing fault or consider it accidental damage. Why not give them a call and ask the question.

You can send the phone to an authorised Samsung repair center yourself. Get the phone back and get the details from Samsung of your nearest center.

[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
I'm aware that I can go directly to Samsung, however if I do; I wouldn't have a leg to stand on. I would have to prove, that it is in fact a screen defect.

Samsung themselves have stated that LCD's are not covered by warranty, and will cost to have it repaired. The amount of threads I have read regarding Samsung products and Samsung not giving a damn astounds me.

Anyway, as I've stated, my issue at hand is with O2, who are the retailer. It is their job to ensure that all products which are sold via them, don't have any deficiencies. Now, we all know that retailers don't inspect their products - hence the reason why they usually repair / replace straight away.

The O2 repair center, as far as I believe - have contracts with manufacturers and follow their guidelines as to what can be repaired under warranty.

I'm being pedantic and doing this by the book. I will not let myself get bullied in to submission. The majority of customer's don't want the hassle, they're also unaware of their statutory rights.

I appreciate what you're suggesting, however in my case - going straight to Samsung is a bad move.
[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
I've since emailed the CEO, CFO and COO of O2 UK. I figured why stop at the boss? I shall await further contact and shall keep this thread updated.
[Galaxy Note II General] jay_droid:
I too have been experiencing same issue as Op. no physical damage no abuse on my part (phone is literally 6 days old at this point). Taking it to my carrier seems hopeless so I called Samsung and they gave me waybill and incident report. Contmplating sending to them now or just fix on own, as I have seen Siii owners do with removing just the glass.

What you guys think?
[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
Get in touch with your provider's CEO. Seriously, the higher you go; the better your experience shall be.
[Galaxy Note II General] kempas:
Sounds like a fault in the glass from the start, the pressure of touch on the screen over time has caused the minute fracture to enlarge.

You'd be hard pressed to cause it to do that from dropping it, dropping something on it, flexing it etc. - in those cases I would assume it to just spider.

Does the Otterbox have a rigid front cover? If so, any possibility it could have applied pressure unevenly?
[Galaxy Note II General] Suicidal Chicken:
My friend has emailed me pictures of when he dropped his Galaxy Note 2. There is spidering all over the screen as well as impact damage.

We know this to be true, I just hope the CEO's assistant can kick some ass.

The otterbox doesn't apply much pressure at all, there's no way that could cause the crack even if it had a vice grip. I'm just waiting patiently.
