I am also seeing this in low light. To me this looks as if this is sadly normal. If not then a whole lotta fun trying to exchange for one that doesn't exhibit it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ross1998:
You should call google and ask because on mine, never happens even in low light. Its most likely hardware flaw on your lens and google would let you RMA for it.

Also there is "post your pictures taken by nexus 4' thread in general on first pagw and no one there seems to have the problem
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I get this in lower light too, and it happened on my SGS3 and SGS2 as well so i'd say it's normal. In night shots and daytime it isn't visible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguy188:
Yepp I definitely get it too. Also doesn't focus correctly at times, like my gnex did.

Anyways here are 2 pics I just took. My living room had no lighting (beside coming from kitchen), my daughter is right under a light and I can't see the red hue there.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solutions Etcetera:
What happens if you take that same shot of your living room with the TV off?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguy188:
Good question. Ill try again tonight when it's dark out (got huge windows in living room) with the same shot in different lighting scenarios.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetSoerfer:
Regarding those comparative shots in different lighting conditions...

I just did exactly that, taking a picture of my desk, very similar lighting conditions.

All settings Auto, Exposure 1/30 s: red center

All settings Auto, Exposure 1/40 s: no red center

Video preview shows the same issue when I point the camera similarly.

This is not a hardware issue (at least not in terms of the lenses or CMOS), it looks more like there's something wrong during picture processing. It might be a problem with the ISP, although I'm pretty baffled to see this happening for such a long time (it was already an issue on the HTC HD2 which was released in late 2009). If it's an ISP issue, I guess we're out of luck.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] robinsoncol:
I currently own the following cases for the Nexus 4:

i-Blason SoftGel Flexible TPU Case for Google Nexus 4 (12.95)

Ringke Google Nexus 4 SLIM Case ($9.99)

Androidified A2 TPU Case for LG Nexus 4 by Cruzerlite (12.90)

- The case that I would say is the best for the nexus 4 is the case by Cruzerlite. IMO it was the most hip and awesome case, though not as professional as the Ringke or i-Blason case. It offered Mild/High protect and it alleviated my fears of dropping the phone. The Ringke case was simply too cheap and flimsy for my taste but it was the slimmest. The i-Blason offered great protection but it made the Nexus 4 look bigger then what I wanted it to be. The case with the perfect fit and feel was the case by Cruzerlite, making my phone look more attractive (and I'm not saying this cause it has a Google android imprinted on the back lol).

Overall if you want the perfect case for the Nexus 4 I strongly recommend the Androidified A2 TPU Case for LG Nexus 4 by Cruzerlite. Trust me you won't go wrong.

Feel free to offer your own opinion on the following cases above.

OK, I know they are there. I took sime pictures, when I open Root Explorer they clearly are in mnt/sdcard/DCIM/Camera. However, when I mount the phone and open up the same directory on the PC, they are not there. Is it possible they are somewhere else or am I needing to move them somewhere else? Very confounding.

Not that we will have TONs of request for it, but im guessing that ex-iPhoners/Mac-users will have use for the info. (Like my lady friend, who still loves her Mac, even if she's a new Android convert, thanks to me. ;) )

So a a reference thread w/ the process would be nice to link to for the odd request we will get. Maybe a mod would even sticky it, if it's detailed enough.

I've been having fun modding and learning from the Stock rooted ROM posted by Strapped365 and I like it a lot. It's not really ready to be released but I was wondering if there is any interest in an old version of sense?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strapped365:
Way more than you would think. Not everyone will run the "bleeding edge" or beta ROMS. Hell rooted stock got like 300 downloads and most of them downloads were from the silent part of this community who only care for a rooted stock type ROM. I say go for it and let the downloads tell you if you should maintain it or not.

Some of my aosp ports for the doubleshot never hit 100 but I still maintain them because they are fun to work with and I can't just leave a few people out because its not the most popular ROM type.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trsix:
umm

funny. i just ran strappeds again this morning.

first thing i always do is delete a ton of stuff from roms.

deleted 44 items from strapped's that i don't need.

it's the fastest i've found i think. (with drob's lastest kernel)

wondering if it can be made faster with v6 or something.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilgerryan:
Definitely, the only thing I thought it needed was the volume rocker mod and four way reboot, but I just used ROM manager to boot into recovery rather than a battery pull.

You don't like the new, slower Google Play Marketplace?

Do you want the older, faster Android Marketplace?

Well let's get started!

Actually, this solution exists for a pretty long time already, and I couldn't find a guide on XDA so I made one myself :p

It's very easy, actually. You have to follow these simple steps:

1. Make sure Google Play is not running in background. If so, kill it with task manager.

2. Download App Quarantine ROOT/FREEZE from HERE (Play Store)

3. Disconnect from the internet (Disable 3G/4G/WiFi) and go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Play Store > Uninstall Updates / Clear Cache

4. Open up App Quarantine and freeze the Market Updater. (You may want to reboot your phone after you froze the app!)

5. Re-Enable WiFi or 3G/4G (Whatever you use for internet :p) And browse the Marketplace with the old app :cool:

This was tested on the Samsung Galaxy Mini running the GB 2.3.5 ROM (Stock)

Have fun!​
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
well, i can't understand the nature of this post, as newest play store is not slow at all, and it have much better design comparing with older versions...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RAJ_VH:
It's pretty slow on low-end devices and I never said the design sucks :p
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
i was just expressing my opinion, and honestly, it's not that slow. can get used to it :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RAJ_VH:
I didn't meant it bad :P And yeah you can get used to it but I use the old market for a really long time already and it just annoys me to see other people using the Play Store :cyclops:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sideswipes:
emmm i got and issue when i was using google market, the app that i downloaded was always downloaded repeatedly. it never finished :/

that is why im using google play even it is slow
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RAJ_VH:
Did that happen after you have used this tutorial or before Google Play existed? It works just fine on my phone, sometimes it says the download has failed but it still installs the app anyway :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] zetsui:
I noticed one of the most common wakelock issues has to do with the android media scanner. I know there are a few programs that deal with this, but none that are are simple as setting intervals for a media scan interval check or one with root that would allow you to disable and enable media scanning with one click.

Just an idea
[Android Apps and Games] biopsin:
yeah

you can use tasker or cron4android or scriptmanager to run it auto, or gscript manually..
[Android Apps and Games] zetsui:
That was the obvious answer although its behavior might be a little difficult to dictate (most scripts written in tasker for this are at boot or turning off).

Another option is to go to market and get ROOT media scanner to disable the media scanner and a non-root media scanner that opens up and does the job and shuts within a few seconds.

Find out about which apps can run in ART (Android Run Time), the easy way

A quick little post for something we have been working on lately.

Quite a few of you people would have heard about Android Kitkat and the bag of goodies that it brings along with it. One of those important changes though, is very much under the hood. It is called ART or Android Runtime. So what is it, and why is it important to us?

As described by Google, ART is a new Android runtime being introduced experimentally in the 4.4 release. This is a preview of work in progress in KitKat that can be turned on in Settings > developer options. Before this, all these days, every Android application used to run in its own process, with its own instance of the Dalvik virtual machine. Dalvik has been written so that a device can run multiple VMs efficiently. The Dalvik VM executed files in the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format which is optimized for minimal memory footprint. Now, with Android 4.4, Google has revealed that the Dalvik replacement, called Android Runtime (ART), should improve the performance of Android apps by a huge margin. The early version of ART in Android 4.4 already has been reported to have sped up apps by around 100%, though it is too early to know the whole truth. It might as well be a placebo till then.

ART straddles an interesting mid-ground between compiled and interpreted code, called ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation. Currently with Android apps, they are interpreted at runtime every time you open them up. This is slow. (iOS apps, by comparison, are compiled in native code, which is much faster.) With ART enabled, each Android app is compiled to native code when you install it. Then, when it’s time to run the app, it performs with all the speed and responsiveness of a native app.

Now, a lot of developers as well as enthusiasts will be really interested in this thing. It allows Android developers to continue writing the exact same code, and having their apps work across a wide range of hardware specs and form factors — but now their apps will now run significantly faster, feel more responsive, and your device’s battery life should improve.

And this is where our new website, www.androidruntime.com comes in. Right now, in these initial stages, people are still confused as to which apps can run in ART and which cannot. Our website solves this tiny issue by letting you search for any app, and see if ART supports it or not. Missing an app but you know the answer to the question? You can even contribute and add to the supported app list. We will do a quick verification and update the search results.

Now the website is still in its infancy, but we are sure that a lot of people might be interested in it. So spread the word and do what you guys really do best.

Oh, and have a great weekend!
