[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tenji7:
Nexus 4 display sucks, I would rated it from last to first, Nexus 4 <--S3 <-- iPhone 5 <-- One X.

The nexus 4 is my first phone with many screen issue and I used to have s2,s3, iphone 4, and htc one x without any issue

except the amoled black spot on black screen you can't see unless it really dark. Better then yellow spot on a white screen.

Problem with the nexus is the gamma issue causing color to be a bit wash out, I know it's a software issue, but it's still a Nexus 4 issue.

Next, the yellow screen tint and yellow spot. I know only some have it, My personal nexus 4 have a nice white screen, but a ugly yellow spot.

My family also have two nexus 4, one have a uneven yellow tint on 2/3 of screen, the other one have an even yellowish tint, not as bad as the other one.

The nexus screen quality is not good at all, you can see vertical lines effect on light color, I compare it to a ipad 3 I have and the ipad 3 is smooth with the same picture.

The viewing angle are not as good as the other phone I mention.

The last problem with the nexus 4 screen is the flickering, It happen to 2 of the 3 nexus we have so far.

First time I ever seen a screen flicker is on a nexus 4. It flicker one time really bad, you can see all sort of line color going vertical on the screen. Shutting the phone off and back on still does the same thing, I had to leave it like that for a minute or so and it start to slowing stop. I like the phone overall, but not the Lcd.

What sort of flickering?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
since the galaxy doesn't require a backlight the colours are vibrant, the display on the lg is good but the black is not black due to the backlight so its a bright black not just powered off black.the ink blotches were odd but not a issue with display. a higher dpi ans resolution and I would choose amoled/+

Some picture comparing the nexus to the ipad (supposedly ~100 NTSC ColorGamut)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asphire23:
I concur to what has been said by most. The screen is one of the most beautiful screen on a phone. The GNex/pentile display is too bluish and I could not stand it. The S3 however, is looking pretty good, but doesn't hold water in my opinion. It is also comparable to the iPhone retina, but 4.7" > 4" any day.

Food for thought, you are less likely to carry several phones and compare screens in great detail every day. Get one with the display you like and stick with it. I had GNex for a year and every bloody day I'm thinking of getting a One X, One S or Lumia 920, that is until N4 :D

All in all, it bogs down to your preferences. I for one doesn't mind a faux black on a phone, try using it for a few days and you won't really care. On the other hand, I expect a true black on my HDTV since that's where I consume HD content..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Beavis=-:
Hey there!

I've been reading for a long time in this forum- mostly about increasing battery life!

I always thought my battery life is average but today I just have to share my battery stats with you and ask for advice- many people getting 3-4h screen on time, I roughly get 2h!!

I'm using xylon 011 custom rom with latest franco kernel (r344). Baseband is XXLH1 with corresponding RIL. I'm using no live wallpaper and just hd widgets (syncing weather every hour) and google play music widget. I have two mail accounts syncing every 3h, facebook off and maps no location service what so ever! I also uninstalled lightflow! Gps always disabled, wifi on as much as possible- rest of the time 3G.

Brightness on auto-default values!

Thanks for your help!

Check these battery stats!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Beavis=-:
Bump- is it possible that I have to buy a new battery after one year? :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Angelakaro:
Last franco's nightly(r344) as some problems,including huge idle battery drain. The only thing you can do is downgrade to r342 or change kernel or patiently wait for a fix. Me too using r344,in 5 hours my battery was expired! I'm waiting for a fix

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
Try using 007 kernel. I found I want to be the most effective for battery life
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Beavis=-:
Thanks for this input but I recently bought franco's app for just too much to just switch kernels now ^^

I hope it is really the kernel that is the problem! This drain is so annoying- reverting to r342 now, posting back!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isinisterx:
I have Franco's app too but I don't like the newer revisions and I really like the 007 kernel performance and battery life. Worth a shot no harm done :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Faux123 kernel is by far the best and everyone neglects it. Try the mainline smartreflex version and use his app to tweak it for even better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -=Beavis=-:
Thanks I hope franco will fix the drain soon! If not I'll try 007 or so!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Braneless:
Zen is by far the smoothest and most battery friendly kernel I have tried in my Toroplus. With every other kernel, the battery drain graph would drop like a stone - it merely dips in small increments with Zen v14.1 (screen is on throughout the duration of the attached graph).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisholt92:
Ok so i'm posting this thread in hopes that somebody with more skill and knowledge than i myself have, will read this and give it a shot. I understand the hardware differences between the Verizon GS3 and the International version. I dont know if the port is possible or how complicated it would be. But this rom is well worth the effort. I used to own it on the Galaxy S II for ATT and loved it. But now i'm hoping to see it on the GS3 for verizon. here is a link to the rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1708371 (i'm also going to messgae the rom developer to see if i could possibly get them to port it over themselves. Hope to see something good come out of this :) )
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisholt92:
And this went nowhere.. lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
Because i9300 TouchWiz roms aren't worth porting.

Maybe if was something useful like King Kang or Paranoid Android you'd find some necessity and interest.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
Well I hope someone takes over this request. I looked at the Foxhound rom and it looks very interesting. I don't know why someone would say that i9300 Roma aren't worth porting, it's practically the same phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
The internals are different, so it is practically a different phone. Only reason they are both GS3s is the external appearance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
I think the international version WOULD be worth porting. Biggest reason being it had all the features available to the phone that Samsung intended. Not a bunch of stupid Verizon meddling, locking away features like blocking mode, find my mobile, among others. If I can get help from some of the devs here I'd give it a go on a stock version for now. The biggest thing is getting all the hardware and lib files, ril, etc. From our phone into the international ROM. Swap the boot image stuff like that. I ported MikG 3.0 for the incredible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] LLStarks:
You guys really seem to underestimate how hard porting from the i9300 is.

It requires an intimate knowledge of smali.

Not many people have that skill or the patience to rebuild every single apk.

This is the primary reason why we don't have multi-window or other 4.1.2 features yet.

Different hardware matters. If it didn't you could flash FrancoKernel or i9300 stuff without softbricking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Kernel is on an entirely different level. It is VERY hardware dependant. A quad core kernel will definitely not work on our dual core phones. Only hardware related libs and and hardware related system files would be the challenge. The SOFTWARE, ANDROID OS is not as dependant on hardware. Yes libs, etc. But the core OS I wouldn't think so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
We have enough on our plate trying to get all of our roms fully functional.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
You seem to know what you are talking about. Give it a shot yourself if you don't think it will be that hard.
[Sony Tablet S] OssiB:
Hey there guys!

i am proud owner of a sony tablet s since about a week.i already rootet it an deletet a lot of of trash which is on stock rom.

This made this already awesone tablet even more awesome and feelable faster!

I am known to flashing etc.my xperia x10 and galaxy s2 are far away from beeing original!

now i read that the motorola xoom is overclockable to 1.5ghz und over 400mhz gpu!this is a lot!as far as i know,the xoom has the same hardware as our beloved tablet s.i use it for gaming a lot,so it would be very interesting to overclock!

Is there any costum cernel right now?oh yeah,i am on ics!release1a.

Ps.sorry for my ****ti english!i promise to better! ;)
[Sony Tablet S] psxpetey:
We havent got that far yet the booyloader is still locked
[Sony Tablet S] ross231:
Not yet.
[Sony Tablet S] OssiB:
Damn it!

That would be so awesome!I already see what the gpu overclocking on my s2 made of my phone!its the beast now in gaming!!! :laugh:
[Sony Tablet S] ross231:
We need an Ocable kernel first.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
So basically your saying that you need a supported kernel for such operation?

My old android phone can be overclocked without a new kernel on stock.

Unless Sony has blocked overclocking with their "OTA-Not_Telling_You_What_We_Are_Doing_To_Your_Device" thing like what they did to the chmod binary, killed it from execution on system run times and also installing applications to your system over the network like the e-reader application.

We are not save.

The thing we have to concertrate on the most is how to disconnect Sony from our devices so we can do what ever we want and not let Sony mess around with System files has they will kill any support, anyday, anytime, anywhere (Has long you are connected to data).
[Sony Tablet S] psxpetey:
Which device did you have
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Eh LG GT540, Old device huh?

Yeah I am working on getting the Nexus 4.

EDIT: Looks like I am not getting one this year. :(
[Sony Tablet S] psxpetey:
The arc has that overclock with locked bootloader
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Yeah, the bootloader is just to do with partitions, not overclocking since that is modifications to the system partition.
[Sony Tablet S] OssiB:
Overclocking is possible without unlocking bootloader too.

My x10 is oc to 1.28 ghz and is on locked bootloader too.isnt it possible to do same on tablet s.why do we have to unlock the bootloader? :confused:
[Sony Tablet S] psxpetey:
U can its just most people flash kernels. Where the function is included
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Ok, lets wrap this up.

Sony can block Overclocking with the bootloader maybe the bootloader is connected to the hardware.

Any carrier or manufacturers can block anything with the bootloader.

That means forcing hardware like processor and CPU to the limits is unavailable unless you get that key to unlock the bootloader.

Knowing Google, they wouldn't block Overclocking obviously.

Alot of manufacturers don't block overclocking unlike Sony I assume.

Well, if you are rooted you can test the overclocking to see if I am right or wrong.

I don't really know why Sony is trying so hard on stopping root exploits.

The other Sony Xperia devices can have a unlocked bootloader and be rooted easily.

But has for the Sony Tablets, most/some of us are stuck on getting rooted since we ended up updated to the latest version of Sony hell while a few days later Condi releases a exploited version which is Condi heaven.

Fom the looks of it, unless your rooted or/and your bootloader is unlocked, your stuck just like me.
[Sony Tablet S] psxpetey:
Ya the play arc and a bunch of other phones got a custom overclock made for them by a guy on locked bootloaders. Sony is reslly keepin the tabs on lock for some reason

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sspikey:
So here goes, I can now get a Razr HD for free through Fido canada. Not a bad deal considering from what I can tell, this phone will be a perfect replacement for my Nexus S running 4.1.2

From the reviews I read online, people are really enjoying this phone and it seems to have a fairly pure android experience that, coming from a nexus device, I want. The main selling point for me is LTE and SDHC. These two things alone are what I am switching phones for mostly.

1. So I ask you this, would you reccomend this phone to someone else?

2. How is rom support? is it easy to unlock and load aftermarket roms on this like CM etc and does it take to it well?

3. How is the device quality physically? It looks terrific online.

4. Anything else you might add?

Thanks again for the help!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdwardN:
1. Yes. I am quite happy with my Rogers Razr HD.

2. Rom support so far is ... in progress. There's not a huge user base for this device yet and it's only been available since October. Rogers/Fido won't see Jellybean stock upgrade until "1st Quarter" which might be as late as March, provided they don't change the scheduling again. Having said that, France and Australia already have JB, so maybe we'll see it sooner than that. It is easy to unlock and load aftermarket roms, BUT you have to unlock it through Motorola and you void your warranty to do so. Just so you know.

3. Physical build is really good, imo. Battery life is excellent, screen is bright, volume is loud. Only weakness is the camera, which is mediocre.

4. There's no decent desk dock available for it yet. There's a car dock, and a couple crappy options for a desk dock but we might have to wait for a third party to make one. Also, hdmi out options are lacking ... As there are no options. IMO, it should allow screen off with hdmi on, or different resolutions output, but only has overscan and hdmi enable... And once you upgrade to JB, you lose overscan.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sspikey:
If it wasnt for the damn rom options and slow updates, I would be ALL over this thing right now!

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RazrHD:
Did you get it with 2 year contract or month to month? I got it free with 2 year.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kent1146:
This is the way I look at it:

If you want custom ROMs because you actually enjoy playing around with new ROMs every two weeks (and intend to do so for the life of the device), then don't buy a Droid Razr HD now. Wait for the phone to get better support, or buy a Google Nexus branded device. You are looking for a tinker-toy more than you are looking for a reliable daily-use smartphone.

If you need a reliable daily-use smartphone, then the current state of ROM support is irrelevant. Sure, you are going to play around with custom ROMs to start. But eventually, you will settle on a ROM that you like, and then stick with that ROM for several months before changing. If that describes you, then you'll be fine getting a Droid RAZR HD. Remember, it's easy to improve on software (ROMs) after you buy a device. But once you buy hardware, you're stuck with it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Royalfox:
May I ask, what is hdmi overscan?

Sent from my XT925
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdwardN:
Basically changing the output resolution to eliminate black bars around the borders. The native resolution of the Razr HD is 1280x720, but it'll fill a webtop screen resolution of 1366x768 using hdmi overscan.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmm.waffles:
1 - I picked this up on Rogers and I'm pretty happy with it. Having a slightly less modified version of android is something I prefer since I'd rather do the tweaking instead of rely on manufacturers to decide what I need. Yeah, I'd recommend it but it depends how flashy people expect a phone to be out of the box.

2 - I bought it without expecting to root and fiddle with it for a year or two. That's because I don't think development for it will catch up until then since it's not nearly as popular as something like the S3, but also because it simply works right now. I have one phone and I need it to work every day so flashing roms frequently isn't something I have time for.

3 - It's just as nice as it looks online. It reminds me of an iPhone 4 / 4s with a more durable feel to it. I dropped my last phone onto steel from 20ft and it cracked the screen under the gorilla glass. This gives me a lot more confidence that the thicker first gen glass (as opposed to the thinner gorilla glass 2) will hold up to the occasional beating it takes at work.

4 - Motorola remembered to make this phone a phone. It seems a lot of companies forget that with smartphones. It's really nice to have a phone with a loud speaker, earpiece and fantastic reception. The whole time I had a Samsung Galaxy S I was battling with the quiet earpiece and yet with this I've answered calls at work with 32dB ear plugs in without issues.

I live in a city with some major dead spots and quite often my friends will realize they haven't had reception for hours and have missed calls while I maintain a couple bars. After making a switch to the Razr HD I'm always the last to lose reception :good:

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bruce671:
I got this phone a few days ago from future shop on the 56$ promo plan. I've never had an android phone before, but so far i like the phone a lot. The kevlar on the back in the chevron pattern looks really nice and makes it stand out. It has a little lip that goes around the edge of the screen which i personally think is greatest idea ever. I dropped the phone from about 3 feet onto the sidewalk and it landed on the front facing corner of the phone. When i flipped it over the phone was undamaged. The camera isn't bad but isn't anything special either. If you decide to get the phone, get it from future shop. They offer a protection plan for 12$ a month, but you can convince them to throw some goodies in. I got a $150 in gift card and a 32gb micro sd card. The plan covers a replacement battery, but since the phone's battery can't be replaced, they will replace the phone with another phone for an equivalent value ($680 including tax).

I just picked this phone from Fido.

1: Physically speaking, this phone really looks nice ,but not ergonomic, maybe suitable for those guys with big hands.

2:Android experience is not so good, when my phone is on, there is always 1**M available RAM, not very smooth. I'am tired of rooting cell phones.I think if RAZR HD got updated to 4.2 would be very smooth.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolloser:
I absolutely would, I have had many androids over the years and am loving this one so far.

I noticed epinter is working on this phone, he was awesome for the Atrix 4G and still is....which means great roms support for us here.

I've already got Jellybean running even though Fido/Rogers won't be releasing the update until late January. There is a couple CM10 betas out but the best working one does not have bluetooth music working yet....so I'm holding off until then.

It has a wonderful build quality to it, mush superior to the Droid Razr that my room-mate has. I like that they did away with the stupid camera hump.

This was a no-brainer to me, even if I cancelled my contract with Fido in a few months I would have paid less for the phone through them than on ebay or elsewhere.
