[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kcls:
No, it's a good thing you posted pictures. It is definitely because you still have the factory plastic on the back. It really, really dulls the effect. I had the same disappointment when I first got my N4. I was actually going to post a topic about it but then my full body protector arrived and I peeled off the factory protector and applied the new one and now it sparkles beautifully. Peel that plastic off and then report back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragnarok_:
LOL he got a replacement phone anyway? you can just keep your charger, then you have 2! 2 usb cables are nice for a usb car charger or something :)

anyway, if your phone is flawless, you might be better off cancelling that replacement because what if your new phone has issues? You are unable to send the new phone back because then you will be charged again. Always that fear... then you'll have to deal with another RMA but this time you have a faulty phone in your hands.

also remove that plastic on the back as suggested.

Yeah mine had the glimmering sparkle with the back plastic on and it looked great. Those pics totally look dull. I gotta say though I'd feel kind of funny calling Google to say my phone didn't sparkle and I wanted a new one. Yeah it's supposed to but still.. It sounds pretty bad.. Glad they are sending you a new one though..

Hope the new one has the bling you desire hah
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zanthexter:
I don't think you've actually said that you've taken the plastic off of the back.

It's still on in the pictures. You can see the air gaps around the camera and the speaker grille.

Peel the plastic off, it's not intended to be permanent and will only minimally protect the glass anyway.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
On my Nexus 4 to see the sparkle (it is very sutle) you have to have the light coming from an angle and the phone moving. I still have the plastic on the back.

Just an observation: It is very sad how some of the people on this forum are so very quick to attack a thread or a person just because they don't like it. No one is making you read any thread so instead of attacking the thread or the person if you don't like the thread just don't read it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dralways:
Trust me, the sparkle is not meant to be subtle. I have a screen protector on the back of my phone and the sparkle screams in low light, still very visible from 10+ feet away.

Dude, returning your phone because it had nominal is just plain stupid. Did you not read what everyone said about what those words mean? It does not mean your cpu will be faster..

5th return? It is no wonder they have none left. It is obvious you will not be be happy with any phone you are sent. Just be happy.. chances are your others were fine.

Regarding the back...I heard a rumor that they changed the backs to be more durable. Do a search on it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kolpa06:
Whatever program I use, I cannot lower the display brightness below 20. I did my best to search the forum as well as the web, but couldn't really find an answer to this. Sorry if I am (possibly) repeating..

I am on stock rooted JB 4.1.1.

My question:

How can I user lower brightness levels? Do I really need a modified kernel for this?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bikrame:
How did u know its 20 % ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kolpa06:
it is not %20. It is 20. Screen brightness level can be set as a value between 0-255.

BTW, I am not talking about stock brightness slider in the status bar. Root applications like RootDim or Tasker allows you to set brightness in terms of actual brightness level. However, values under 20 don't have any effect on decreasing brightness..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Armchairraver:
Ive been messing round with a couple of different ROMs lately I was using super nexus build 5 then tried the test build 1 that the dev linked to on Saturday. My phone kept resetting then so didn't think much of it and flashed back to the build 5 that was working fine. I still had the same problem. After some trial and error I realised that it didn't reset when plugged in and I think the battery is showing full when it isn't. It works fine until it switches off then boots to the boot screen and switches off again. When plugged in it comes back on with the battery showing 70% - 85% charges for 15-30mins then says full again. I've flashed back to a Samsung ROM still the same tried siyah kernel and reset fuel gauge ect still does it. I tried to post in the super nexus thread but I couldn't cuz of the lack of posts. Is it a faulty battery and coincidence? Can the battery stats.bin cause something like this ? I have tried calibrating the battery but when I charge it to 100% to reset the battery stats.bin i don't think its 100% more like 20% so is that throwing it out ?can it be edited to a lower % instead of 100% Any help will be appreciated cheer

Odd Events!

Running DeodexedRootedSense4+ and I flashed ElementalX-JB-v0.4alpha in Recovery. When I flashed the Kernel I cleared Davik and cache. (not sure why I did that :/)

-Light does not come on.

-Volume down and power brings up boot loader briefly then shuts down.

* Interestingly, When I heat up the phone with a blow drier phone boots in the ROM and works perfectly.

(Computer detects the phone and it receives a charge)

I managed to wipe and reinstall a clean DeodexedRootedSense4+ ROM hoping to set the original Kernel.

When I stop blow-drying the phone it shuts down after it cools a little.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

*Using an HD2 on 4.1.2 as backup

Never heard of such a thing.. my suggestion would be to get it in the bootloader with the blow drier method and run an RUU. I think the issue sounds more hardware based. If it is, at least your phone will be stock so you can warranty it

Or get it in fast boot, flash a kernel and then a new ROM

You have to relock and be in bootloader to RUU. That's why you're getting that error.

Hey has anyone out there actually successfully booted WebOS on the Galaxy Nexus.

I know it's been done, and I know there's a guide on it, but I'm stuck in the building process... So if anyone has gone through it in Ubuntu, riddle me this-

The build process stops at "NOTE: Preparing runqueue", is that normal, do I just have to wait a couple of hours?

I HIGHLY doubt anyone will reply to this, but it would be swell if someone did, you never know I guess.

So for those of you building the GalNex WebOS port on Ubuntu (or whatever Linux really), it sits on "NOTE: Preparing runqueue" for an hour or two, which makes sense, it's preparing the runqueue, it just threw me off that there was hardly any activity in CPU and RAM.

Although it is a guarantee that a full wipe will always work, there is no harm to dirty flashing the update.
