They can see your user agent when you are browsing using a mobile data connection. That's how they used try to catch people using tethering. It's mostly idiotic because requesting desktop versions of sites causes mobile browsers to fake the UA. They can probably also see traffic from other Google apps such as play store since they use specific ports. My guess is this would have eventually happened on your GNex as well.
[Nexus 4 General] compuw22c:
Sorry, this is wrong. Tmo DOES look at user agent to block tethering, Att sweeps imeis. Samsung phones are nice because you can " fake" a generic imei by simply erasing (after backup) the efs folder.

FWIW, my solution was a bit different. When I got on their network my goal was basically to grandfather and future proof the hell out of my account. I activated an edge iPhone first (back before they shut down the loop hole), then the same day called in with an atrix imei, then a few months later with a skyrocket imei to go from edge unlimited, to 4g hspa+ unlimited, finally to lte unlimited plan. All genuine smartphone plans and thus subject to grandfathering. In addition anytime I use the wap.cingular apn on my lte plan it doesn't count against my 5gb throttle limit giving me TRUE unlimited (though wap.cingular tops out at a very usable 7.4mbps vs 21 on " phone"). I intentionally skipped the media net plan just for the better "guarantee" of keeping my plan down the road since I KNOW att is a bunch of douchebags.
[Nexus 4 General] Hung0702:
I just got placed on the Data Pro plan as well and called up customer service. Our phones get recognized as LG E960, which is in fact the model number for the Nexus 4.

I asked them to switch me back and that I'm using a dumb phone, but they kept me on hold for 10 min and I just hung up. I'm not sure if my plan will revert to MEdia Net.

Is anyone else getting their connection dropped within the first few seconds of data use? It happens to me when I start a speed test or try to listen to NPR. It doesn't always happen, but it does very frequently and I have to wait to reestablish network connectivity. Usually I have to reboot the phone because the app won't reestablish connection even though the phone status states that it has.
[Nexus 4 General] compuw22c:
Connection problems are the proxy in your apn, just remove it and you'll be good.
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
I don't think AT&T moral is the only one being questioned here, regardless of what AT&T decides to charge, last I check, regardless of AT&T having its IMEI or not, the N4 is technically and practically a smartphone. Not that I have a problem with it, its ATT after all, they are charging my dad for land phone services they didn't install correctly which we canceled. I do have a problem with having a separate tethering plan above the data plan, still do not understand why the FCC and European Commission are fine with this. It's would be similar to Evian selling you water bottles to drink from, but its illegal to use it to water your plants or anything else unless you pay them extra.
[Nexus 4 General] amcplus5:
How can you lie to AT&T about what kind of phone you have yet accuse them of having no morals ? Getting something without paying for it is called theft. Yes I think they are charging too much but, I have a choice on who I use for service.
[Nexus 4 General] shadymouse:
LOL So True!
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Honestly, I wasn't referring to that. I was thinking about the way they've treated every single person I know who has service with them over the last few years. I do agree that trying to break the rules is no bueno. Doesn't remove any of their slime, though.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] aneftp:
OP here. Ended up selling Nexus 4 with bumper for $400. Easy sell on Craigslist. Like I said, basically sold it for at cost. Really don't care about making a small profit in the phone.

I called earlier to get the $30 data pro off my account. The CSR said she could add the $10 data plan back on but if ATT see I am using a smartphone it will re add it again.

I am already paying $30 for my unlimited grandfathered LTE iPhone 5 (throttled at 5GB with ATT).

I also have a spare line on my brothers Verizon account that I pay him $45 total. I have a grandfathered unlimited LTE Verizon data plan. I don't even use the phone. I put it in my Verizon LTE iPad and Verizon cannot audit me cause of their FCC agreement. That's why Verizon is forcing people off their unlimited LTE data cause Verizon cannot throttle LTE devices and cannot stop people from moving LTE sims between tablet or cell phone devices.

So I just can't justify paying another $30 data plan on my spare ATT line for the nexus 4. It's a great phone (minus the camera). And I recommend the nexus 4 to all of my friends (who aren't obsessed with their iPhones).

I have been with Cingular /ATT for 9 years so know the ins and outs. Unfortunately we consumers are not getting the greatest value with post paid carriers. The big 3 all know there is close to zero profit in minutes anymore. That's why they essentially give minutes away for free these days.

Data is the only true money maker for carriers these days and they want to maximize profits.

I am not a data hogger by any means. I maybe used 300mb in 2 1/2 weeks with the nexus 4. I don't tether either. If ATT offered a sensible (say 500 mb/$10 data plan) I could reason to keep it. But we all know the game the carriers play. $20/300mb is quite ridiculous.

They know the "average" customer uses around 500-700mb data each month. That's why they set the teaser 300mb/$20. Only light users can be on the 300mb smartphone data plan.

On a bright note. My Verizon LTE data is truly unlimited. I let my 2 year old rack up 5-10GB data on the iPad each month without worries. I've heard some Verizon LTE data user go over 200GB a month cause the Verizon iPad can be used as its own hotspot with LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Funny that they have the IMEI as it's not an att phone. Yeah tmo was doing the UA sniffing. I assumed att might as well. It seemed they stopped doing it as they have never stopped me from tethering. I pay for data what does it matter how just throttle me when I get to your limit.
[Nexus 4 General] mailrachit:
I got the message too today morning. I went back to my original smartphone plan of 2 GB since I was never using more than 1 GB. Also the speeds and ping is better on the 'phone' APN of AT&T as compared to the 'cingular' APN.

Guys,

I tried a lot of the latest .35 ROMs (SDSL4.0, AOSP, Oxygen by DevSwift) and non of those supported my car bluetooth headset (Parrot, built in the cd player). I tried also the ASIS ROM from Mur4ik but it did not work. Now I'm using DevSwift's CM7 and it is fine. :D

Does anybody have any other recommended ROM with this feature working?

Thanks!

I too have the same problem with bluetooth headset. I've tried many (maybe all) ics and jb roms and not one works with my 2 headsets (it connects but no sound). For GB the ones who work are Devswift's ROMs and Zoe 4.0 ROM (which is based on Miro's SDSL 3.0 although SDSL doesn't support it!).

Also with every .35 rom you must forget deep sleep with bt on :(

If anyone finds other roms which fully support bluetooth please post..:)

Thanks for the post I 'm sure it will have bluetooth support as 4.0 has but if someone uses bluetooth headset standby for several hours must expect excessive battery drain as no deep sleep state in .35 kernels :(. Would there be any fix for this (e.g the choice to install .29 kernel?)

Anyway thanks for the dedication to our phone leoposas ;)

Hello,

I have a problem with the Fauxclock app on my Nexus 4.

ROM is CM10.1 official nightly with faux kernel 002b5.

Everytime I reboot the phone all my settings are gone. The governor is set to ondemand and max clock speed.

I selected intellidemand and some other modifications. The "set on boot" tabs are all set inside the app.

It also takes a long time to start the app. It is recquiring root and always setting the proper permissions.

Can anybody help me solving this problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linelock:
Sorry I can't help with your settings not sticking. Maybe ask in his thread. One thing that I have seen mentioned in his thread is that he recommends using the supersu app as opposed to the superuser app that I believe is included in cm10.1. The app may not be getting proper root permissions.

The slow startup with setting permissions and such is normal from my experience.

Hey guys,

Thought I'd post this here and keep you guys updated on further developments.

I live in the Netherlands and bought a 32GB version at Dixons at the 13th of November 2012

I had found the touchscreen a bit unresponsive sometimes in the past.

But couldn't really find out why it was acting up. I finally isolated the issue.

It is exactly the same as this guys vid:

[YOUTUBE]Cd2xtIxhEBA[/YOUTUBE]

(Thanks for the vid injahnet)

Together with a little backlight bleeding, I decided to send for repair.

(The problem persisted after a factory reset, no other apps were open when testing.)

I went back to Dixons and showed the problem to the Dixons dude.

He acknowledged there was an issue and sent it for repairs or replacement.

Due to the holidays this can take some time. Maybe even next year:(

I was about to open my tablet for a look inside one of these days, boy am I glad I didn't do that yet:p

Anyway to get a good view on this issue globally, are there more people that have the same issue?

You could go to: Settings > Developer options > and then under "Input" you can enable Show touches. and try to to the same procedure as in the vid. (Thanks Peterk-1)

Or you could test with MultiTouchTester like Injahnet.

The weird thing is, my dad's N7 16GB does the same.

Update 17-12-2012: Please do not test while plugged in as the device will be grounded and the issue will not occur. (Thanks dad)

Feedback is really appreciated! :)

Please vote in the poll above!

Cheers,

Daan
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
I have zero problems with multitouch while using my Nexus 7. Working just fine, but you must disable any apps which interfere with gestures or it'll steal events.

Can't say I've ever used multitouch with the N7 laying on a random object however.

But sure, send it in for repair......... I'll keep using mine.
[Nexus 7 General] peterk-1:
If anyone thinks they have multi touch problems then loading an app isn't required. Just go into Developer Options and under Input you have two options to display touch and track detail.
[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
Nice one. I'll add that.

I've done a factory reset before I tested:) No apps are open except MultiTouchTester

It's in for repairs:)
[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
Well... Over 200 views. And only 4 votes, which includes mine:p

Community feedback is failing hard.

Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted on the repaired Nexus.

At the moment of writing we know that three people are having this issue.

I know someone else with a nexus I'll check if he has the issue too.

[Nexus 7 General] Shaldy:

[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
Thanks for the vote guys.

By the way, it seems obvious that the Nexus should not be plugged in while testing.

However I cannot test this 'cause mine is at the shop:p

Would anyone be willing to test?

I'll add that in the original post (+ a mention of your name and a thank you of course;)))

[Nexus 7 General] veryjiggy:
I don't have a multitouch issue, but I do have an entire band on my screen which has stopped responding to touch at times. It all started when I let my tab shut down due to low battery. Initially, the Nexus 7 neither charged (when put on charging, obviously), nor did it boot up. After trying for several hours, somehow it started charging. And since then, sometimes certain areas of my touchscreen become unresponsive to touch. Since the band which is unresponsive is towards the upper part of the screen, using notifications becomes completely impossible. It keeps 'snapping back up' when I try to pull it down, cos while I am pulling it down, the notification tray encounters an unresponsive area, so it just goes back up. Called up Google and they will be sending a replacement device. All I am afraid about is that I have an 8gb version, and they would be sending an 8gb as well, so I hope it isn't refurbished or something, as Asus has stopped making the 8gig model.

Now please tell your brain to start functioning again and leave this thread alone if you have nothing to add.

Asus Google Nexus 7 32GB touch death zone

Hi DaanJordaan,

Found out that my brand new N7 seems to have a similar "no touch zone" issue; an area the size of my little finger on the left lower part of my screen does not seem to react to touch! It interferes with typing the keyboard in portrait mode (no keyboard problems in up-side-down portrait mode).

When I use the Easylabs Multi Touch test I can see the dot changing color when I move over this area, doesn't happen anywhere else on the screen..

Using the developer tools (turning on the two options that allows to show touch/leave a trail of touch) it becomes even more clear that this area does not react to touch! I can "paint" lines around the "no touch zone" (it actually splits into 2 touch areas using one finger around the "death spot"), and the "no touch zone" reveals itself by not showing any trail/history line of touch..

Oh yes, and it does not matter if I lay the N7 on the table, or hold it in my hand, the issue is always there.

Therefore I returned the N7 back to the MediaMarkt, and they will send it in for repairs...

I've got a bad feeling about this | - )

I am curious to hear about experiences with your N7, once you have it back!

I'll report mine here, in three weeks or so (that's the outlook...).

Cheers!

NeverMind
[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
This looks like a more serious issue. Definitely a return case.

It would be nice to keep the thread updated about your experience with MediaMarkt.

Dutch RMA is crap in my opinion. I have only had a good experience with Mycom, which immediately traded a broken mouse for a new one of my choice.

It's just ridiculous that a new device is sent for repairs!

Furthermore I'm a little tipsy and will probably regret writing this in the morning/afternoon but drunken me does not care.

I said I'd update on informations and well at the moment I find that this is worthy of saying.

I am missing my Nexus soooooo much!!! I wan't it back!

The repaircenter (Harmony Servive Center) keeps me posted on the status every time it changes.

Which is nice, kudos.

The last time they've sent me an e-mail was the 19th! Saying: "Your new status is: Procedure completed. You will get a message when your product has been returned."

Wahey! Procedure completed... Great... Thanks... Yay... I know exactly what to expect now! Status updates for the win!

(O yeah, forgot to mention, if they think there is no issue with it, they're gonna charge me 50 euros. Pretty good service don't you think?)

To sum up:

Still waiting for my Nexus to return to the Dixons store I returned it to.

It has been ten days and even though I knew it would take some time due to the holidays, I am missing it very, very, very much.

So if you ever send your Nexus back for whatever issue you may have. Prepare for some agonizing weeks.
[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
AAAARGH!

I just got an email from the repaircenter that my Nexus has been sent back to the Dixons shop.

So I go there to pick it up after missing it for more than two weeks.

The Dixons dude said he tried to call me a week ago but couldn't reach me.

He told me that he got it back from the repaircenter almost immediately after sending it, because they could not find the serialnumber.

I told the guy that it's behind the back cover. And the guy says: "I know... This is ridiculous. I have already e-mailed the head of customer service."

He rang him up in front of me. And set some things in motion. He assured me that it's with the highest authority at the moment.

Things should move fast now he told me. It would be picked up by courier and not by normal mail to speed things up.

Which would be pretty cool, if true. Lets hope so:p

He told me that I could expect a new unit or a repaired one as soon as tomorrow.

I'm pretty sure they're not going to give me a new unit and also a bit skeptical that my repaired one will be back tomorrow already.

Anyway we'll see. I'm just kinda pissed that I was waiting for nothing and have to wait even longer now.

That's Dutch RMA for ya
[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
Okay I just picked up my unrepaired Nexus 7.

The Dixons dude said he's going to bypass customer service because they're taking too long.

He ordered a new batch of N7's and they'll be arriving February 15th.

When they arrive he'll give me a call and we'll switch one on one.

Big thanks to the Dixons dude. But Dixons as a store has dropped waaaay down on my trustlist.
[Nexus 7 General] _never_mind_:
Pfff, what a story! :\( Hopefully you will end up with a fully working new one. According to the Media Market's website, my Nexus is still at Asus... Oh god, I do hope they fix it there... Waiting a bit longer...
[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
Give them a call. Ask for a statusupdate!

How long are you waiting now?
[Nexus 7 General] _never_mind_:
I waited for almost a month...

I found out that you can track repair-status on mediamarkt.nl, so I did that a couple of times in the last weeks, and I mailed them too, but the update then was just that I had to wait longer… I found out they have a "repair in 20 working days" agreement with the supplier (Asus), and if they don't fix it within this period (providing there's no reason to take even longer...), mediamarkt decides to either change for another one from their stock, or to cancel the contract.

Today I received an email from mediamarkt that this was the case, so I went there and received the purchase amount. They didn't have any other in stock and weren't ordered either. Perhaps because the 3G version is out, or the budget version coming up ;)

Anyway, didn't matter to me, I just wanted the WIFI one, so afterwards I went to BCC and got a new one for the same money as mediamarkt. It's now reinstalling my apps, seems to take a while | - ) I did the touch tests I did before with the broken one, and it looks fine. But 'll see ;)

Hopefully I'll have some fun using it now :)

Did you get a new working one too?-)

[Nexus 7 General] DaanJordaan:
I appreciate your feedback.

But please test it with two fingers like in the YouTube video.

Without it being plugged in, and completely insulated.

I'm pretty sure every N7 has this issue.

Keep the fingers on the same axis and the problem shall occur.

More fingers register fine, but we don't use more than two fingers for pinch zooming.

Pinch to zoom will get stuttery and laggy when this issue acts up.
