But I doubt someone that didn't know that the phone had a non removable battery would have a very easy time take taking it out and not breaking anything. Plus its a complete Hassel I already took my back off to check it out and its not something that u can just do a quick battery change.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] kenio8185:
I know it doesn't have an SD card slot, no OTG usability, and that since I'm in Canada and with one if the big 3, I can use LTE. Just because I missed this doesn't mean I don't know anything.

Seriously, elitists like you are ruining the community. "Omg, he doesn't know x, therefore he doesn't know anything." And guess what, you were wrong.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] zephiK:
How could you buy a phone, use it. And then realize that the battery isn't replaceable? I don't think it's the community being rude or anything but that is just the honest truth.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kenio8185:
I haven't used it yet. Still waiting for it to come in. On my second post, I say that I'm tempted to cancel my order, because it hasn't come in yet. Seriously, this battery thing is quite annoying. I mean, the whole SD card thing took me a bit to get over, then the no OTG, and now that I see this, it's just like, seriously, why?

Honestly, if I wasn't in Canada and couldn't use LTE (I know one American company can, I don't remember which one) I'd probably just not get the phone.

Anyways, the rude part was assuming I knew nothing based off of not knowing about the battery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] triStateMindgate:
The reason why certain manufacturers chose to have a non-removable battery is that doing so gives them more space internally therefore leads to designing a slight higher capacity battery vs. if there was a removable one. That's how I understand it, but then again you're more than welcome to cancel the order and choose another device out there that would better suit you. That's the great thing about having options. :D. Enjoy!!

You going to need to get used to this kind of reaction in the xda nexus forums, it was like this for the gnex too but seems worst with the nexus 4. Lots of Google fanboys here...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yyz71:
Hahaha lol seriously:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] richteralan:
Replacement batteries will pop up. Just like Xperia S. Sony said Xperia S battery is not replaceable, but can be replaced as simple as Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Richieboy67:
Regarding lte.. This is not an lte phone. It requires you to change spa after each not unless you use another app like taller.

Also, a it is only a matter of time before they disable lte with an ota update. I believe our only works with Rogers but I am not sure..

To be honest this does not sound like the phone for you on my opinion of you are buying it for lte and if you are worried about the battery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kanetheninja:
I'm not sure if it's a fan boy thing as much of it's that every review has pretty much mentioned it. It would be like being shocked there was no LTE. In fact, no one has actually even defended google (lg?) for the non removable battery decision, just talked trash about the OP's lack of knowledge.

Maybe fanboy means something different to you though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neotekz:
Not everyone reads all the reviews for the nexus 4. So he missed that one feature for the phone, there's no need to be rude about it. Do you know every feature about every product that you buy?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lunzi88:
Actually yes. for every tech product I buy, I made it a point to pour over as many reviews as possible and learn as much as I can from the official specification list before I made a decision to purchase it. While I'm not saying that everyone should be like me when it comes to purchasing a new tech product, but you gotta at least know about the major features before ordering.

With regards to the reviews part, I'm pretty sure at least 80-90% of the major tech site has mentioned at least once in their review that the battery is non-user replaceable.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] yahoowizard:
It's usually good to know all about it before you drop 300+ dollars on it. Answering the question, yes, I did know every feature/immediate flaw of the phone before buying it. I'm sure most people in the iPhone community as well will be surprised if he goes and asks this same question there, or asks a question about SD cards for the iPhone.

But I sort of see where he's coming from, it's just that it was mentioned a lot in this forum which is why people are a bit more shocked than needed, but I guess it wasn't mentioned aaaaasssss much in just general articles that describe the basic specs of/ introduce the phone.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] aSquard:
The battery is serviceable which is VERY different from removable. It doesn't just pop out and viola, pop in another, but hey, take the Nexus 4 apart if you want...
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Felisek:
Well, you can replace the battery, if you really want: Nexus 4 teardown
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lunzi88:
You can, but I really doubt anyone will be bring around a torx screwdriver everywhere they go to do it.

And then there is the small matter of finding the OEM battery pack in the first place. :p
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kenio8185:
Yeah, I just went through that teardown. Seems pretty simple to take the battery out, but I don't wanna carry a screwdriver with me everywhere. So I'm kind of conflicted. I suppose I could get a portable charger, it's way bigger than a screwdriver, but it will be so much easier to use as well, just plug the thing in and go.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] lunzi88:
Think on the bright side, if you get a portable charger, you could use it for your other devices as well, say a tablet or a PMP/second phone even.;)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kawika:
found the battery...... just trying to help out the community :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hammmy:
Looks like Google is having success marketing the Nexus outside of the tech community.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jrockie:
Get a USB battery pack.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jackasaur:
I get like close to 20 hours of battery life on my phone through out the day. with moderate use of 4G, games, and music. Just root it and put a custom kernel and rom on it. You'll be fine.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nospin:
I'm sure Google will be addressing any battery life issues with future OTA updates, so anyone who doesn't feel comfortable flashing custom Roms shouldn't feel like they need to. It will all get worked out in the end.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] RealiZms:
So people that use a little common sense and research a product before committing to buying it must be a Google fanboy?

I like this site. I like how blatant ignorance is called out for all to laugh at as well. It inspires people to think before posting. The OP is getting rightfully flamed because

A)He purchased a $300-$400 device online without knowing the battery is non-removable.

B)Then the OP starts a thread on a forum in an Android development website looking for replacement batteries.

C)Then upon learning the battery is non-removable the OP acts as if its a deal breaker.

Just cancel your order.

Buy a powerocks or similar. It holds 2 full charges for a phone. I use it when camping/away. Costs less than an OEM battery for any other smartphone. Yeah, it weighs more,but not enough to worry about.

Is there a mod for the power menu, I dont want to flash an entire rom, just a power menu to enable restart options.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulcheerio:
A quick search leads me to believe that at this time yoou're only gonna get that feature by flashing a rom. Why not try out AOKP or a mostly stock looking/functioning one?

Edit: check the "MoDaCo custom ROM." apparently its a stock rom with advanced power menu you toggle menu features

post number 5 has a link, have to be deodexed though
[Defy General] johnaddams83:
Hello, i'm a recent owner of a Motorola Defy+ and i'm having a kinda serious problem with my phone.

Since when i first started using it, it never stopped using data.

I have done almost everything i could to stop it from using data from my Carrier.

Basically, i turned Data OFF, 2nd plan data usage OFF, i switched from Automatic to 2G Only band.

On the Data Meter it doesn't show any traffic between the nights, but, how do i know that it keeps connecting to the internet?

On my desk the phone stay close to my speakers, and after each 15 minutes i hear that strong interference caused when it connects to the internet. It's not Cellular interference, it's data traffic, im sure about it.

My Carrier in Brazil is TIM. Data here is not a big problem, i pay only about US$ 0,10 for unlimited data usage, the day i use it. However, it's relevant that i have a fast wifi and i don't feel confortable being charged everyday by something i'm not using. I don't know why the phone is connecting to the internet since i didn't set any social network, like Facebook or Twitter, and didn't choose to sync e-mails or something like that.

Somebody please help me
[Defy General] Deonix:
I don't think thats data use. That sound is a usual sound any speakers that are not good isolated do. I put my Nokia1208 that does not have data or 3G near such speakers and once in 2 hours it interfers making sounds but i'm not receiving calls or messages. It's only communicating with the cell tower.

Its funny you say that it makes a different sound for data. If no data meter app shows use and no app updates, data is probably not working.
[Defy General] johnaddams83:
Yes i know, its funny, but i'm pretty sure it quicky connects to the internet then 2 or 3 seconds later it leaves.

I don't know what is happening, but it is charging me everyday those US$0,10 which is the internet access tax.

Is there any application on Play Store that can block temporary the data traffic? Can you please name them?

I would like a flexible application that i can use to force the data traffic off then, when i want, enable it again.

Thanks in advance

Sent from my RM-878_nam_usa_100 using Board Express
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jack$on:
Okay... I must state that I came from a HTC One X. Awesome camera out of the box. I honestly always heard everyone (reviews) saying how good it was but never really realized it till switching phones to the Note II. Now I understand.

So with that said; the Note II does okay but seems more blurry to me. More like a iPhone 4 (girlfriend had so only iPhone comparison).

The photos are okay, just not as clear as I want. The photo's seem to look okay scaled down but when looking at full version (not full screen) on Laptop .... it shows low quality.

I'm probably not explaining it well. Sorry

So.... I do have some questions here. Please note I know that these are only opinions. Not looking to bash any apps or settings. Please bring the positive.

What App do you prefer...what settings do you prefer in stated App? to get the best quality photo? Stock? third Party? etc.

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

I am currently using Stock app

Burst shot = on

flash usually off, but sometime on

No effects

No scene mode

Exposure value = 0

Auto Focus

Resolution = 3264x2448

White balance = Auto

ISO = Auto

Metering = Center weighted

Auto Contrast = Off

Anti Shake = On

Image Quality = Superfine

Would it help to turn on or off any of these settings? What has been your best results?

Thx!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
Is burst shot the same quality as single shot. I Googled it but got no answer. I think it may have to do with how the signal is processed and of course the sensor size. As the sensor is opviously very small it can only capture a little light. The phone compensates with a higher iso causing grainy pictures. Do some comparisons in daylight add compare them.

It could obviously be as you stated. The One X has a better camera.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jack$on:
I have been playing around a little bit this morning.

Found that HDR is not bad. Helps a lot indoors.

Also Many shots were the best in "Low Light" mode while indoors.

Agree that I was probably spoiled with the HTC One X.

Just need to keep playing around and use more. with the One X I was able to just point and shoot. Didn;t really have to use any special options. LOL
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] x2h:
Every phone camera sucks, , Why spend so much time on it lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] warfanax:
Antishake adds considerable amount of noise to the picture. This is not a mechanical antishake like on a dslr lens. Its a software elemination. However "camera 360 " app and some other apps dont add noise when you use this feature cuz they only let you take take the photo when your hand is stabilized. I suggest you not to use antishake with stock camera app unless you want lower picture detail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jack$on:
Thx! I will turn off the Anti Shake and try it out. Good info...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jack$on:
WOW! Yes the Antishake adds a lot of noise. Thx I would have never thought of turning off this feature.
[Android Apps and Games] lan99:
Over the past couple months I've been working on an app that grabs your current location, then looks for reviews, deals, news, etc. for that location. I love the concept, but I think it's maybe a little incomplete.

I released it on the Google Play store to hopefully get a bearing on what user's are looking for, but though I might ask directly.

Currently, it shows:

- News, Reviews, Events, Basic Company Info, Coupons, Open/Close times

Called "Location Llama" on the play store.

Is there anything else that anyone would find useful about their current location? The only other thing I considered was a restaurant menu, but not sure if that would be entirely useful - as they are typically available at any restaurant when you walk in.

FYI: There's an app called Llama Location profiles on the play store - not the same thing! I didn't realize that until a few days after I uploaded it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Hey guys, I have a rooted Thunderbolt that I'm selling but I was going to sell it with Gingeritis3D on it.

If I reflash the ROM, it will allow its new owner to setup their account on the phone and use it as their own, but I got stuck wondering that if they could even activate it while this ROM was installed.

While Gingeritis3D is the running ROM on this phone, can it be activated online or via customer service line?

If not, how could the phone be activated?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
It should be able to be activated. They will need to do it over the phone with customer service.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Thanks man, I knew I would probably receive my answer from you. Lol.

If it can't be activated after calling customer service, does that make it obviously rooted to them or does it throw up some sort of red flag?

Oh, and can they activate it on the SIM card that's in it or will they need to get a new one?

I have no use for the SIM.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
You will need a new sim and they won't know its rooted if it won't activate. Just download a sense 2.1 ROM and use it to activate if you have any issues but I don't think you will.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Alright.

I can go up to Verizon and get another SIM for it that will work for whoever buys it, right? Or do they have to go get one themselves?

I just know they can't take it in there and let them put it in since it would be rooted.

...Or does it even matter to them since the phone has no warranty anyways?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
It wouldn't matter anyway and yea you could just take it in there and get a sim. Just make sure its a corporate store and not a retailer because they will charge you for a sim.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Alright.

And though it's rooted and no warranty, they will put a new one in it and activate it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Yea. They'll note it more than likely that there is no warranty since its rooted and sold to another person. They know my phone is rooted and it hasn't caused me any problems and I use up gigabytes of data with wireless tether.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Okay, cool.

Thanks a lot man!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
It can also be done online with no problem. That's how I activated mine with someone's test Rom on it. All you need to do online is enter the esn and the sim card number to register and activate the sim card.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Oh okay.

This was actually a post asking what someone could do to activate the phone after I sold it to them.

But I'm sure they could do it this way as well.

Thank you!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:
I realize that. That's why I told you how I went about activating one after I purchased it from someone else. :banghead:
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
Gotcha! Lol.

I'll go by Verizon and pick up a SIM card for the buyer I suppose, and I'll just tell the person at Verizon that I'll activate it myself online... just to be safe.

Or does the SIM have to have a specific number in relation to the new owners account or phone number?

Should I go get the SIM or should I let the new owner get it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigviar:
Umm. Let them get it. They are only gonna give you one for your own account. This should not be an issue. It should be a given that you get your own sim when you buy a used phone. If they expect you to provide it id say they aren't very inteligent.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RBarnett09:
That's what I was thinking.

Thanks man.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CondemnedSoul:

On mine I put in my sim and dialed #228 and activated it. Pretty simple ;)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santod040:
They get it themselves, they have to and I would definitely get it from a corporate store.

Although I have heard success and failure stories from retailers, they nay be of assistance as well.

So YMMV in those places.

And do not buy a VZW Sim card online, especially from Ebay, lol.

I have 4 I will sell you right now for $10.

HAHA, kidding, well I do have 4 old non-active ones that won't do anyone any good.

BUT I will not sell them to you for any amount of money. (they are useless)

I realize they advertise them as brand new in the breakout card still, but I just wouldn't trust those personally. :)

I have 5 Thunderbolts in my household and haven't done anything other then swap my sim into any of them and use it.

The one I set up for my daughter's line which went from a 3G phone to the Bolt now needing a Sim;

and they gave me a sim no problem, and activated it.

This all done on privately acquired Thunderbolts, except my original that I bought and no longer have.

Not sure how helpful any of that is, but with the VZW sims, if you have an active one already you can just pop it in.

With newer devices using the Micro Sim, these won't carry with us to our next phone, but as far as Thunderbolts go, you can swap your Sim into any clean non-active Thunderbolt and it will auto-activate on the network.

It used to be that you would just *228 and do an OTA programming to set roaming, pri, prl, etc,..

But that was no longer needed on the Bolt with the 4G sims. It's automatic.

For someone who doesn't have a sim, they can just get one from VZW.

They won't refuse and if they do, talk to someone else who actually wants to keep their job.

Sorry if that went a little OT.
