[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aDVnatgae:
Issues noticed with Nexus 4

1) Battery drainage (battery last for 6 hours)

2) dust in the camera lens (red cloud seen on photos)

3) LED notification light problem (people have to use external app to make it work)

4) Speaker during a call quality is bad

5) No removable batteries

6) People have dropped the phone from a table and glass in the front and back severely cracked (on other phones, this much damage is not seen)

7) Glass makes the phone heat up really fast

8) A lot of complaints about scratches on gorilla glass

Things some might not care about

5) no LTE

6) have to wait 6-7 weeks to get the phone

I have summarized all the issue from xda posts. I am still waiting for google store to go on sale. But I may or may not by this phone, time will tell.

Came from an iPhone 4s. Fought the cancel button every day wondering if I made the right choice.

After the first day of having the N4, I had no real desire to go back to the 4s aside from some apps I really miss.

What you've listed here is not indicative of all Nexus 4s. Out of everything the only thing I've experienced is #1 which was easily resolved by flashing a custom kernel - thanks, Franco!

From what is posted in some of the threads here you'd think this phone was the most fragile piece of tech ever created. It's obviously going to be more fragile having a glass back, but it is quite a solid device. I've treated this phone the same as I did my Galaxy S2 - not poorly, but not like it might spontaneously shatter if I hold it incorrectly either. I've not been able to scratch the screen through regular use and it survived a fall from the dining room table on to a laminate floor without damage.

Without out a doubt, as another poster said above, I can't even look at another phone until the next nexus . I came from the HTC One X running jelly Bean rom.

For the price and for what this phone is capable of doing i think it's worth the wait. Its sooo worth it i paid 90$ extra just so i don't wait 6 to 8 weeks...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SysAdmNj:
It was worth the wait. Only down side so far and hopefully I can remedy this with different roms/kernels is the battery life but not a deal breaker so far.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepawn:
That's definitely not a "all phones have this problem" list...

The only one on the list I can say I've had is #5...but I never "swap" batteries anyway. Call quality has been great, my notification light works just fine, battery life has been OK, mine hasn't scratched so far, my camera is fine, from order to delivery mine took 1 week.

You must be a hoot at parties.

Had mine for a couple weeks. No issues at all. The battery is pretty good as well. However some days is better than others, I haven't figured out why yet...

Personally I don't see anything that puts the nexus 4 above the s3 or the one x+ . I still love mine tho :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
In my opinion the nexus 4 is worth it....I switched to this device from the note 2 and have no regrets at all...I love it... And with all the sweet Roms that makes it even better.... Super fast... Stable.... Slick black look.... best phone out to me....

Worth IT !!!

HEY buddy ! I am a Nexus 4 user from India, Got my phone on 1st Dec although ! No wait for me, It is a fantastic deal man !!! Nexus 4 is a pure Android phone man ! Sooooo Smoooooth ! Benchmarked it with Antutu and scored 15545, when i was on stock ! Then go Faux123's mako kernel 002beta4 ! and now it scored 17k ! There is zero lag in the phone man ! I am in love with this **** !

I've been reading about all the new features of GNOW and how you simply go to the Play Store and update. But we can't do that with a Bionic because its not a supported device. I searched the web and all I see is old posts of the original GNOW installs. Does anyone know where to get the latest version of Google Search?

Thank

unless someone updates the hacked version you cannot update it. wait for the bionic to get JB. sorry

you could try finding the apk (Velvet.apk) online and sideloading it, or pushing it directly to /system/app

but if it's not hacked it may not work (as squito pointed out).

I was picking up my N7 off the night stand and it slipped out of my hands. I grabbed the n7 with my right hand with my thumb on the bottom right corner of the screen and my other 4 fingers bracing the back of the device. I thought I save my self from a horrible drop. Until I saw the cracked going across the bottom of screen across the navigation bar. I must have pressed too hard with my thump when I caught the device. Now my navigation bottoms go crazy. The device is useless. Anywhere I can purchase a replacement lcd + digitizer for a decent price? Or am I better off buying a new tablet.

My first nexus cracked under my thumb pressure holding it in my on the day it came in the mail... I called Google and was told it was a defective screen to crack under pressure of my thumb in my hand.. I WAS given a rma for replacement...Not sure how long you have had yours but you should not be able to crack the screen by holding pressure with your hand ..

yea i know im going to get trolled for this message...

give them a call and see what they say it cant hurt..
[Nexus 7 General] Wilks3y:
Not gonna troll you.

Just gonna tell you you've made me extremely paranoid to touch my N7 now.

What are you meant to touch it with? Hair?
[Nexus 7 General] doctahjeph:
Thank you. I am definitely going to call Google. It should have not cracked like that.
[Nexus 7 General] JesseMT4G:
They should come up with glasses that reads our thoughts and when paired with a tablet it just does what you think....within perspective, lol!

They are probably already on it....no need to worry about touching the tab as much, lol!

I Would be in trouble.. I loose my sun glasses atleast 3-5 times a day... I would be in so much trouble...

Your welcome op . I was devastated when my screen crumbled under the pressure of my thumb..This is a awesome device but this new screen technology is very flawed . its just way to thin of glass.. They said there was a spec under the glass on mine.. Anyway good Luck...

Thinking the glasses idea how about contacts or eye implants i cant loose... hummmmm let me know
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] digi0123:
So I did some searching on here and the Google, maybe I'm missing the terminology so feel free to do whatever, however, is anyone's phone randomly playing a ringtone when it feels like it? Although soothing, it is annoying. This is the rooted stock JB. I noticed it once while in the vehicle driving, Bluetooth connected, so I figured it was something to do with the connection, and the ringtone was correct, and it might have been a call, however I didn't have any missed calls. I changed the stock ringtone, and the same situation happened to me this morning at my desk. The difference is Bluetooth was off and my phone had just been sitting there, nothing going on....

strange?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Uronlyfriend:
my ringtone just started playing, once it finished it stopped and all, then i locked unlocked and the default one started playing. I'm on a droid 3 though, running a stock-based rom. Lol this is wierddd.

Root and CWM for Xperia J Finally!

Thanks to srl3gx and Bin4ry for their awsome work!

and ME for taking risk! :P

Make sure u are in 11.0.A.3.28 or 11.0.A.3.18 firmware ALONE with Locked Bootloader..

This method Dosent Work on 11.0.A.7.5 Firmware! (working on it! )

for .28 firmware download from here and flash it :)

if u dont have a flash tool download it from here for windows and install drivers located in C:\Flashtool\drivers (choose all drivers)

since flash tool does not have xperia j drivers..u may hav flashing problem...for that

1.download and extract d ST26.zip ive uploaded

2.open flash tool

3.click devices>import

4.navigate to d file u've extracted

5.now xperia j driver is installed

u can now flash without problems :)

Now back to rooting...

Root first! thn apply CWM!

Steps for Rooting:

1.extract Root_J.zip

2.make sure 'usb debugging' is enabled in devolpment settings

3.double click Runme.bat file for windows users...runme.sh for linux users

4.wait for process to finish (mostly should work)

Steps for CWM:

1.extract CWM_J.zip

2.'usb debugging' on

3.double click 'install.bat' only for windows (linux not working! my bad..)

4.wait for it.....installed! close the shell program and switch off the phone..

Plug in charger or USB....the phone switches on....press up and down volume keys repeatedly when SONY logo flashes.....voila u get into CWM! :D

You need plugged in charger or USB to goto CWM! Else CWM wont Work!!

reboot to system and see if supersu is installed :) finish! ur phone is rooted and cwm is installed !!

CWM has little bugs ..but its a never mind stuff..

use arrow keys to navigate..power button to select and 'go back' option in cwm itself to go to previous options.

Comment if it worked for you...let others know!

Tested on my xperia J and Miro

Dont restore factory setting or else CWM will vanish...n u hav to reflash whole firmware again :)

for questions and problems ask srl3gx

HOPE I HELPED...hit thanks :P

Sorry for the last update! It Dindn't Work for many devices! :(

Yes dude I tested it.. It works... That's y i posted it :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] mikeycrawford:
Followed your instructions on my Experia J. I have build 11.0.A.3.18 (UK on orange/EE). I decided against flashing to 3.28 and to try with 3.18, but to get the Flashtool working I did the following:

Once the ST26.zip file is extracted (using Winrar) I then have to open this extracted file again in WinRar to get the files that should live at C:\Flashtool\devices\ST26 (loader.sin etc.). I then had to copy the original file ST26.ftd to c:\Flashtool\devices. I enabled USB debugging in the Developer settings on the phone and Flashtool started working properly.

I was able to root and CWM the device as per your instructions on buiild 11.0.A.3.18. Cheers.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] adfad666:
The major problem with this CWM method is that it's designed for the Tipo, so when you try to flash a zip made for jlo, it fails. I had to remove the assert from the top of the scrip to flash with this.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishenpj21:
Thanks for trying on .18 firmware... I'll update d thread :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishenpj21:
Dude dunno y u have problems with CWM...btr to flash according to my instructions... It works for many :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] adfad666:
Have you tried flashing a compiled ROM? It fails as the CWM thinks it's on a Tipo device.

Plus if you wipe your system partition, you lose CWM, it's not a good solution. I've posted a CWM as a boot.img in my CM10 thread :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] kishenpj21:
Oh..ok.. But this post is for original firmware rooting n CWM... Won't work for custom roms :)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] adfad666:
OK, plus this will work for people who cannot unlock their bootloader. But perhaps you should put a warning as some people may want to wipe their system partition before they restore a backup (which will work) but if they for what ever reason try to reboot the phone they will be lost and will have to restore via flashtool!

FIX TO ENTRANCE TO RECOVERY WITHOUT PLUGGED IN CHARGER

Tested on Xperia J, Miro and Tipo

1. First make full backup in CWM

2. Run Root Explorer

3. Go to /system/bin

4. Rename btnvtool to btnvtool_help

5. Download my modified btnvtool [unpack attachment]

6. Put my modified btnvtool to /system/bin and set permission to 755 (how here http://www.learningmovabletype.com/images/chmod755.gif)

Now reboot phone and when you see Sony logo, put up and down volume key serval times. You don't need plugged in charger

Ta da!

v2 - temporarily fix for mount /system partition (?)

v3 - Android isn't loading in background after start recovery

v4 FIXED all problems with mount /system partition(!!!)

usb driver

Hi everyone,

I'm still having trouble installing the adb-usb driver on WinXP.

I've installed PC-Companion, but no drivers are installed.

I've tried the flashtool method with the ST26.zip file but as soon as i try in import it tells me: "ERROR - ST26 : this bundle is not valid"

Manual search of drivers in PC-Companion or flashtool folders didn't bring any success either.

Im on Build no. 11.0.A.3.28

Does anyone have a solution or similar problems regarding the adb usb drivers?

EDIT:

I was able to extract the .ftd file and it allowed the import. But connecting the device still shows errors, and no driver is installed.

INFO - Beginning import of ST26

27/001/2012 08:01:30 - INFO - Device ST26 imported successfully

27/002/2012 08:02:23 - INFO - Device disconnected

27/002/2012 08:02:55 - ERROR - Drivers need to be installed for connected device.

27/002/2012 08:02:55 - ERROR - You can find them in the drivers folder of Flashtool.
