[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
It really depends on your area and the infrastructure. Personally, switching to T-Mobile was a great choice for me - I have great coverage all over my city. I'm on the $30/mo plan with 100 minutes, unlimited texting and 5Gb of data at 4G speeds (throttled after). It's great for me because I used an average of 100 minutes a month (all minutes factored in) - some people use VOIP to make that go farther, but it depends on your needs.

What carrier offers what you need ? Do you really want to enter another contract ? Does a contract offer give you any benefits (roaming, mobile-to-mobile, et cetera) ? What do you actually need and use ? How many minutes / texts / data ?

As for network technology and "the future", I don't know. Do you use tons of data ? Does it have to be super-fast ? Chances are that by the time a contract is up or a phone has seen better days, the technology is going to be in a different place, anyway. Streaming Netflix is about as heavy use as I do and it only uses 1/5 of the bandwidth available to me. I'm sure data and use will be changing in the future, but who knows what it will be like when it's time to get a new phone / contract ? Who knows what mergers and agreements will happen between then and now ?

I never experienced a "dropped call" on any network - and although I spend most of the time in the city (where there's great coverage on any network), I live in the boonies and routinely made calls on my way to and from work - and I've done so on every network but ATT. But clearly I don't make THAT many calls if I'm only using an average of 100 minutes a month. :P

I would think for that kind of information, it would be best to ask locally. When I was shopping around for a new phone-plan, I asked all my co-workers who they had and if they liked it.

Stay with Sprint!!

Hey there,

Stick with Sprint for sure. Although other carriers are presently better in coverage in certain areas, you can't beat what is on the horizon for Sprint!! Nextel is being decomissioned, towers being migrated to Sprint, LTE being integrated into them as well as existing towers. Exciting frontier of change coming from Sprint. Sprint also has the most spectrum (essentially air rights regulated by the fcc inhibiting wireless growth) aka wireless realestate! Sprint comes in slightly higher than double the nearest carrier being verizon. Once what Sprint calls Network Vision (their network overhall) is complete, we will be so far advanced compared to nearest competitor. Not to mention the prices in correlation to being the only carrier who offers truly unlimited, unthrottled data blows it all up out of the water. This is both publicized and internal information known in correlation to recent and soon mergers. Trust me :D

Good morning

I have a weird problem that I think no one has reported yet. It happened two or three times now and I didn't know why but after leaving my phone charging at night, when in the morning I picked it up I only had 1% battery left. The phone simply kept discharging during the night although plugged in and on the screen showing as being charging.

After a lot of thinking and luck, I am now able to replicate the problem but I have no idea of how to solve this.

It's quite simple, if there are any unread notifications (e-mail, sms, missed calls,etc) on the notifications bar, the phone will simply not charge even if it shows you that it is and will keep discharging.

My testing procedure was as follows:

With a remaining charge of 16%, I plugged the charger on the wall socket and immediately on the phone. The orange charging led turns on (I did not have unread notifications at this time) and after a couple of minutes I had a current battery charge of 27%. All good and normal.

From another phone, I've sent a test e-mail to the Xperia's P Gmail and the orange charging led turned off like it should, and in his place the blinking green one from notifications turned on.

I've waited a couple of minutes and when I checked the battery again to confirm my theory, I had already lost 1%, going from 27% to 26% clearly showing that the phone was discharging (although the screen icon was showing like it was charging up).

After confirming this, I've cleared up all notifications that were showing and the green blinking led went off giving place to the orange one once again, indicating that the phone was charging, except that it wasn't. It didn't resume charging even after wiping all notifications and I had to unplug it from the charger and plug it back in, for it to start charging once again.

I think this is a software related issue (possibly a kernel one?) but I do not have the knowledge to provide any sort of fix.

My only solution for the time being is to clear all notifications, set the phone to airplane mode and only afterwards plug in the charger to leave it charging properly, and making sure that it does not receive any sorts of notifications that might interrupt the charging process.

It would be nice if someone could also test this to check if it only happens with my device.

My phone is FULLY STOCK with the latest B.1.54 firmware.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
I think the problem is solved and was caused by having flashed the generic world firmware instead of central europe.

If the issue happens again, I'll drop a post if not...awesome.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] casca:
Ok, problem NOT SOLVED.

Today it happened again... like you can see, it actually started to charge for a bit and then stopped.

I assume once again it's something related with the notifications or notification LED.

Plugged the charger in at about 30% yesterday before going to bed, and after 6 hours:

After unplugging the charger;power OFF;power ON:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
Hi,

I'm expecting my Nexus 4 some time this week and I'd like a little help.

I have a htc one x at the moment. A while after I got it, I decided to unlock it and use custom rom etc.

With the nexus 4, I just want to root it without disrupting anything if possible. The one thing I don't want to mess up is getting the Ota updates as I couldn't get that to work again on my one x.

So to summarise, I want to root my Nexus 4 whilst retaining the ability to get Ota updates and full functionality as normal. Can anyone help?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
You'll need adb/fastboot + the appropriate drivers.

-unlock BL via fastboot,

-flash recovery via fastboot,

-flash SU zip via recovery,

-leave BL unlocked, no reason to relock it.

That's it. Don't remove, or rename any system apps if you want the OTA to apply. You can even flash OTA's via a custom recovery, this will likely be available here prior to you getting a notification.

Good info here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mseebass:
So there is no way to root the device without unlocking the bootloader and flashing the custom recovery?

I'm basically in the same boat. I'm developing android apps and want to use log reading apps but I don't want to have any custom rom/recovery on the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
You know when you are on other phones, you are actually unlocking the bootloader via a exploit or through the manufacturers developer center.

You need a custom recovery in order to obtain root. It is a must need, without it you cannot be rooted.

Only way to change your recovery is to unlock the bootloader. Having a locked bootloader locks it so your recovery can't be changed. So.... You get the idea
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
You can do it via adb with an insecure boot image, outlined here below the CWM method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1993331&highlight=insecure

If you do it the CWM, or TWRP way you can flash the stock recovery again. You absolutely have to unlock the bootloader however, no way around that.

CF Root is another option: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2025274
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
i just want to make sure you know that if by some circumstance you lose ota that you can always just download the zip of the update here and flash in recovery. there really is no reason for ota that i can see on a nexus device. its here as soon as its released pretty much.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
Convenience? With CWM it even patches on first boot so you don't lose root or anything so I like being able to do OTA (well the one update so far) vs. having to connect to my desktop.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
no reason to connect to desktop if you have recovery. you can come here on your phone or 'chrome to phone' it over. find the thread. click the download link. then reboot in recovery and flash.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
I also could drop it into dropbox but that is all more work than just hitting "install" on my phone, it isn't like updates are released with enough frequency that the amount of work matters but like I said OTA is more convenient for me and CWM made it even more convenient. The OP may have completely different reasons for wanting OTA.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
i think you must have missed that part in bold. no reason to be a smart a$$ either when you are the one who didnt know there is no reason to connect to desktop.

remember... the whole reason for this thread in the first place is because the op lost ota on his last phone by rooting it. all i did was try to let him feel at ease.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
Just use the nexus 4 toolkit, follow it's directions/steps - Can't get any easier or less impact than that. Install Drivers, unlock bootloader and root. Done. OTA still work, install busybox from the play store if needed.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
I wasn't being a smart ass nor was I unaware of other ways to get an OTA update, you said there was no reason for OTA on a nexus device and I responded why someone would want it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Don't use toolkits take the time and learn how to do it yourself so if you get into situations where you messed something up you know how to fix it as you know how adb and fast boot will work.

Toolkits are not worth the short cut
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ORStoner:
Can I just unlock the bootloader, fastboot boot not flash cwn and install root from there.

Also, how does unlocking bootloader affect warranty?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thephantom:
This is the best way to do it. Yes you can fastboot boot cwm so it'll be temp and just install supersu zip. Regarding warranty for bootloader, it originally came locked so should you need to return it, warranty will be voided if you unlock it. However, it would really be just fastboot oem lock if you need to relock it. The state won't show relocked if you do it. It'll be plain locked

thanks clonz, actually i was just trying your TUT but problem is when i fastboot it tells me "failed to open usb master mode"

second of course i have no os according to twrp.

third i never had to fastboot/adb before so i dont know what im doing nor know what to install.
[HTC One X+] Clonz:
so the failed message your seeing if fine...its going to happen when you unlock the bootloader...install custom recovery and then format your device. You need to install the right recovery for your device and then hopefully sideload a rom up to it to fix your isses

You can do a nandroid backup to restore stock Rom ....but you can't show bootloader as locked...if you want to relock it it will show relocked....if you want warranty ...you could hard brick the phone...by flashing a kernel for another phone ...so theyll have to change the motherboard for free,or they will give you a new one...

Hey Guys,

A bunch of people are complaining about the battery life on Nexus 4. I've been waited for a couple days since I got the device, to have enough confident about the battery before I make any post here. Yes, the phone battery drain pretty fast on the first few cycles. After a bunch more charges later, let me tell this, the battery life did get significantly better. It lasted about 10-15 hr depends on the load of the usage.

Here is my typical day, off the charge at 100% in the morning, listen to a few songs, checking emails, and messages while getting ready for school. About an 30mn to 1hr of internet browser and youtube videos while on the bus. By 1-2pm the battery drop the about 70-80%. I put the phone in silent mood til i'm done with all my classes. On the way back home on the bus, I listened to a bunch of music, web browsing, maybe a few phone calls, texts or games.

Compare to my old phone, Samsung Galaxy S2 T989, im impressed with the Nexus 4 battery life. My Galaxy S2 battery always die on the bus coming back home. What I'm trying to get at: if you're a light to medium user like me, then get this phone. I was hesitate at first because I always have bad experience with android battery life. But Google seem to get its OS right with this nexus device, mainly because the battery drain minimum while in sleeping mood.

Can you post your Nexus 4 battery performance screenshot if you have been using the phone for more than a few days ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Is there supposed to be a question being asked? Or a statement as this is in the Q&A forum.

I agree with you on many points. People need to wait at least 5 to 7 days for the battery charge to fully kick in. The first days mean absolutely nothing as it is still being aligned plus the user is still installing apps and setting up their phone.

There are some notable problems in the default kernel that uses more battery Usage than normal too.
