[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Mindroid-:
Thank you guys for telling us what an amazing bargain the Nexus 4 is!

But please take a minute to notice that nobody in this thread is arguing the opposite.

What we discuss here is that it may be possible for the camera drivers to be optimized further.

----------------------------

I don't think you understood what I was saying. I might put together a little test -

my old DSLR vs. my phone cam.

I agree about BSI being ineffective - one number I saw specified 1.35times better sensitivity over FSI.

But don't underestimate Moore's law. This Sony brochure states 10 times increase in sensitivity

and 10 times decrease in size for each decade.

http://www.sony.net/Products/SC-HP/cx_news/vol60/pdf/sideview60.pdf

I check the EXIF to find out what settings are assigned for the photo by the automated camera system.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richteralan:
It is possible when somebody decode the camera APK/driver/module...etc. But don't hope for magical things.

Such test is comparing apples to oranges. But you can go ahead try and have fun.

Hence Marketing BS.

BSI only improves noise level. And noise level is only one trivial aspect of a good photo.

Since we can't adjust the settings I don't see there is any point checking. But if that's your thing with phone cameras we need somebody decode the mess. I suspect the camera hardware module doesn't even report some of the shooting parameters.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domenukk:
My 2 cents to the image quality: Photos are a lot noisier than on my old HD2.

I have 3 more Megapixels but the images are actually a lot worse! Even on iso 100 I have blurry edges where the HD2 captures nice lines. :(

Sad panda. Got to get a Lumia 920 for my next holidays.

Hi, TubeMate is awesome. But there is one issue i have been having with it. I use TubeMate to download the audio only of some YouTube videos. And it downloads and gets added to the stock Media player just fine. But when i flash another ROM on the phone, the Music player cant see the TubeMate downloaded music. When i use a File Explorer i can navigate to the MP3's fine and play them within the file explorer. BUT when i try to add them to the Music App it wont do it.

I also had this problem with my S3, Where when i flash a ROM the music wouldn't show up in the stock media player. Or aftermarket. Does anyone know how to fix this. As i am fed up of repeatedly downloading the same music every time i flash a ROM. Thanks

Just an update. I've tried Freedi as someone on this post had suggested. And i can say it works fantastic! Now whenever I flash a new rom or updated version of a rom. The music shows up fine in the music player. With Tubemate the music wouldn't show up no matter what. Only thing that's sucks is how show the music downloads..... But I'd rather wait then use Tubemate and risk not being able to use the stock music player.

I am getting great speeds on wifi, regularly above 20 which is what I get on my computers too. It might have something to do with that almost dead battery you had while doing the tests. Try it again when you are charged up and see if that makes a difference.
[Nexus 4 General] c1umsyb3ar:
Here're my WiFi results after 4.2.1

I think it may be your battery being drained but I could be wrong. I was at 53% or so when I ran the test.

[Nexus 4 General] gie62001:
@OP I actually don't see anything that would be showing how slow your WiFi is from the given picture ;) I mean if you look tests were carried our on both WiFi and data network. So how are you comparing these figures and what's your usual WiFi speed so people would know what you are talking about.

Also maybe there's some other activity on router or someone is downloading something. Reset router and do the same test again so you can get better results

[Nexus 4 General] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
How can software lower Wi-Fi speeds if that is based on your router. My Wi-Fi is running just fine...
[Nexus 4 General] Chrono_Tata:
3 speed test results are hardly conclusive. Your WiFi speed could vary depending on the load on your broadband at different times or because of a bunch of other reasons.
[Nexus 4 General] droidmakespwn:
So your speed is slower... on the weekend... on a day most people have off... case closed.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
You can stand on 2 different spots in your house and get different speeds.

Also, this is not actually testing wifi.. It is testing download speed.. It could be anything at all between your phone and that server..

The problem is, when I get texts, etc, the notification light won't blink. Is there a fix for this? Thanks

This is probably the first phone I wouldnt root if it wernt for the need to remove carrier IQ. I wish we had a temproot so I could get carrierIQ out and keep the phone stock . I <3 touchwiz. Way more polished than sense imho .

---------- Post added at 06:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 AM ----------

Known issues:

- The stylus doesn't work. Need to investigate.

- Radio crashes every now and then.

- Audio in phone calls requires an initiation phase: make 2 phone calls to any number when you boot up to get audio functional on the 3rd call.

Ah, perhaps I will wait that big longer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EmceeGeek:
I'll be running stock TW until I get tired of it, then I'll try some launchers and get tired of those. Thats when I'll flash a new ROM and Kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SC23:
I'm going to stick with TouchWiz so that my phone would be fully functional as it was meant to be. Also, TW has drastically gotten much better and I already like the feel of it. It's already fast and buttery smooth. And with my phone rooted I had it tweaked at 5x5 grid with scrolling wallpaper and a sweet ass theme.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bipoler:
I haven't rooted yet, in the past only did it to have full data access (tether) that I pay for, and delete bloat. But with new updates coming at some point I've been making due just fine so I'll wait until after the big update to decide if I'll root. As far as stock versus touchwiz lol now that's easy regardless to the screen size or how smooth it runs I couldn't imagine losing my pen that's how I enter text etc and once of my main reasons for buying, could have kept my S3 & yes 4.8 to 5.5 is different but let's be serious why get a note 2 only to root and put stock.........losing all the reasons to own a note two ........laughing out loud. And FINALLY you delete carrier IQ Lmao, ok fine but if you haven't noticed this won't stop big brother so your peace of mind is shot boots. Non existent
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ironzey:
Besides the screen size, the S pen is the obvious stand out feature. Without all the S pen additions it'll be "just a big phone". I'm sticking with TW until I decide to completely give up on using the S pen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Supermighty:
I want to run stock but I'll probably wait awhile until all the spen goodies are rolled in. I don't use it that much, but I'd hate to lose it. My last experience with TW was the Vibrant. So far it hasn't been that bad. I'm running Nova Launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vineares:
The only function I use from stock is the pop up browser. I never use the pen unless I'm showing someone the gimmick of drawing with it. So yes. I'd love me some CM10.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] one80oneday:
I'm sticking with TW for awhile or at least until we get some better custom ROMs. I like TW and the settings but not the Samsung and Tmobile apps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] distortedloop:
I think your terms are misleading. To me, CM10 and AOKP aren't "Stock Android", they're "AOSP" or "Vanilla Android". Of course that's just semantics. "Stock" is the ROM that the phone shipped with. With that in mind....

I'll be running a rooted TouchWiz "stock" ROM, debloated (my idea of debloated), with Nova Launcher. I get the best of both worlds that way, in my opinion. All the goodies that Samsung has done to the phone that make it BETTER, in my opinion, than "AOSP", plus I can add the best of other ROMs. With Nova Launcher, I have the "look & feel" of "AOSP" as well.

YMMV.

By the way, why didn't you add an actual poll to the thread?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] irok:
This phone + Paranoid Android is all I need. Most of samsungs apps are inferior to their aosp counter parts. The only thing I'll be losing out on is the s pen which I have never actually used in a useful way anyway. Samsung has great hardware but their software and design choices need improvement.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] pvtjoker42:
i'll be moving to cm10 once they sort out the calling/audio issue.. i bought this phone because it's a performance beast and the lovely screen.. the s-pen wasn't even a consideration in the purchase for me.. sure, it's a neat gimmick (pull out lightsaber sounds to amuse the kids) but i can't see myself using it for anything..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] achusaysblessyou:
I'll be using it on touchwiz, since wifi calling is a must and multiview, while i'm really anticipating it, isn't a big enough reason for me to root just yet (I'm lazy and this phone is awesome even without root/custom ROMs). One day I will, but for now I'm just going to mess with the phone

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bipoler:
Ok
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Warrior1975:
I'm thinking the same way. Although I have rarely used MultiWindow so far, I just love having the option. I love gimmicks. I am on jelly beer still but have restored to Jedi twice since last night. Going to see how the day goes at work today. Probably will go back and forth between the two ROMs, and again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dre89:

I thought I would use multi-window all the time, but I almost never use it. on the other hand, I thought I would never use the spen, and it turns out I use it constantly in meetings. so I will switch to stock when they get all spen functions working on it. multiwindow would be a bonus but not a dealbreaker, but spen is a dealbreaker.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Some_dude36:
From what I heard spen wont work on aosp . and I actually use it alot. Add that to the fact the battery life is excellent as is . I'll be sticking with touchwiz I think Unless S beam , airview , spen and multiwindow find there way to aosp .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] tbukkos:
I prefer TouchWiz on my phone...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Ratlegion:
This is my first device running TouchWiz. Having seen this new version for myself, I can see right away why companies like Samsung are reluctant to give up their skins for stock. I think it's fantastic and beats the hell out of Sense and Aosp. I did install Nova because I had already purchasedit in the past and I wanted my wallpaper to do more than TouchWiz would let me. Pretty much, I'm just running a debloated rom and I think that will continue to be my focus until Google releases something massive I just can't pass on and Samsung gives up on updates.

---------- Post added at 07:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

I think outside of known issues, which definately plays a part, I am holding onto the more stable TW based custom roms until either a CM official build for the GNII is out or if KLP decides to show its face and an unofficial build is ready... I think all these various developments is timewarping my mind
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaekidd1012:
TouchWiz for me because it includes features that have yet to make it over to AOSP or AOKP and it's especially true with the Note II. Call them gimmicks but I use them daily: S Pen, Multi Window, Air View, etc. These along with the massive screen size were the reasons I wanted the Note II so going AOSP would be counterintuitive, IMO.

Besides, I can get a Nexus 7 if I want my stock Android fix.
