[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bittersound:
So, they have apparently sorted out the stock and supply problem. I <cough> borrowed the wife's credit card and have placed the order.

They say it will ship in 1 to 2 weeks, I can live with that.

The light-hearted question I have is, once I've gotten over the excited rush of playing with the phone for a while, what have your experiences been? Good or bad! I've heard that the battery life is not great but to be honest I am not so bothered with that. I have a charger and work, and home, in the car - I can even charge it at the pub/bar I go to :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
Keep an eye out for issues worthy of an RMA. From there, the only thing to expect is awesomeness. You'll want to calibrate the screen color and gamma, though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenhicg:
Has battery life been that bad? Because I just ordered one myself to replace my wife's 3GS.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rondock:
yes battery life is very bad on this device. in sleep/standby its great. but when you do something, it drains battery very fast. just 5minutes use and at least 10% are gone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrazyPeter:
Utter tripe. You either have a rouge app, or you have the brighness turned up full or something else stupid.

I easily get a full day out mine with moderate use. It's about 50%-60% remaining when I get home in the evening from work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I got around 3 hours of screen on time and a full 18-20 hours standby on stock rom with the usual useage of whatsapp and gmail syncing, with web use and texting etc, and now on custom rom, I am getting up to 4.5 hours screen on.

So, battery is good, phone is super fast and smooth, camera is great if you take time to learn how to use it and especially with HDR on and a bit of post picture editing. Only down side is music volume and quality which is average at best. In my opinion.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenhicg:
Thanks for the feedback. I just hope my wife can make the transition from iOS to android.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jsick:
I think depending whether you are on WiFi or HSPA will make a huge difference for battery. From what I understand, when using HSPA, the standby battery life is horrible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raider1284:
The screen is usually the single biggest threat to your battery. And the N4 can get 4-6 hours of "screen on" time depending on use. As others have said, it can be on standby for 15+ hours, but you can completely kill the battery in 4 hours or less if you are using a cpu intensive app.

Custom roms and battery saving apps can def help out though.

Unlock the boot loader, doesn't matter if you decide on staying stock or what. Having your boot loader unlocked right of the bat allows you to keep your apps if you do decide to root /flash.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alsheron:
You'll sadly probably find that the screen is *uneven* in it's tint (yellow probably) and brightness. Because it's uneven, "calibrating" will help a little maybe but will not fix any issues with the screen. On the other hand, with luck (which I wish you) you may find that your screen is pretty much perfectly uniform in brightness and tone top to bottom, left to right. (Check using the Mail app and minimise the keyboard) I've had 5 so far and none of them are acceptable to me. Otherwise the phone is truly incredible in use. Buttery smooth, responsive, great. The screen very generally is amazing too. It's just not even as it should be. Let me know how yours is - i'd be interested to know because if yours has good uniformity I'll order another. Good luck!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mnmseven:
I have CM9 on Note N7000.

The problem is Windows Media Player can't see the external SD card, but it can see the internal memory.

I tried switching modes between MTP and USB mass storage and that didn't work.

However, I can read and write the SD card in Windows Explorer just fine.

Is there any way to fix this issue?

[Dell Streak 7] FGMareil:
Hi,

I'm using a TMobile 4G DS7 in Europe (no SIM card); last week as I restarted it (battery was very low) I started receiving error messages (Email app has stopped unexpectedly, then Gmail and you name it...) and was sent back to the setup wizard.The DS7 was running on the original setup, no OS upgrade had been done.

I tried a factory reboot which didn't change anything.

I started reading this forum and tried the 3 options which are described

1- updating with a 306 .pkg file on the SDCard

the following takes place

Booting kernel recovery Image

Blue text

Finding update package

Opening update package

Verifying update package

Install modem error . System will upgrade again. (90% bar)

Screen turns black then reboots

and back to square one !

Trying other packages results in an error message, process stops at verifying update package .

2- Fastboot mode

I downloaded and installed the drivers

I put DS7 in fastboot mode and get the fwg :

Username : cmbuild hostname : ***** buildnumber : ******

Build on Mar 11 2011 17:19:36

Starting Fastboot USB download protocol

On PC I go to the directory where the fastboot.exe is stored .

When I type < Fastboot devices>

I get <? fastboot> which seems to indicate that no device is identified ( under Config panel in Windows I can see that the device is recognized as an Android device) ....

3- NVFlash mode

I put the DS7 in NVFlash mode connected it to my PC . The config panel showed there was a prob (yellow triangle). I installed the driver .... and now the device does not even appear when I go Config panel / System

So I get nowhere under any of the 3 options ; can I just throw away my DS7 or is there still some hope ? things I haven't done correctly ?

Any help suggestion would be most appreciated.

Thx in advance to whoever wil read this thread.

FG
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
the ???? Device under fastboot is normal

ONce you put the device into NVFlash mode and you install the drivers, open up Device Manager and look under the USB section, you should see something about Nvidia recovery mode.
[Dell Streak 7] FGMareil:
You're right. I flashed everything went all right but after "pinbooting" no change still stuck.

to forget about dependencies:

yes, I use jdk7 as deprecated java commands were fixed in cm9 but you can use jdk6 to be sure that it will work.

To init and sync the repo:

Where 16 is the number of jobs to do simultaneously, some people say that this number must be your cpu cores count +1 so if you have a quad core cpu you use -j5, well I really doubt this and I prefer to use at least j8, you can try it yourself.

Re: [CM10.1][Q/A] CM10.1 for the Galaxy S Advance - Q/A - DISCUSSION THREAD

Make clobber removes all files including the objective files. This is only needed if you edit the core files like boardconfig.mk

If you edit any other files like recovery.fstab, common.mk then the change is recognized by the system and the files are updated automatically!

So tl;dr, make clobber is to be used only if you edit core config files (mostly only boardconfig.mk)!

Is the stock HTC On V camera on the market? No other will use ImageSense chip. That's what I want.

The only way to get the stock camera is a sense based ROM. Either stock or custom sense ROM.
[HTC One V] eshneto:
You mean the only _current_ way. If I could track back the errors in the trace, perhaps this could change.

Anyone can help me to interpret those traces? Where are the missing classes and how can I make them available to the app? I am pretty sure that some kind of LD_LIBRARY_PRELOAD trick is possible.
[HTC One V] tmacfan532:
I'm just curious... did you or anyone else ever figure out any way to get the stock camera on CM? Or is that simply not possible?

I'm very grateful to the guys who made such a sweet ROM (in CM10), but I'm thinking about switching back to a stock-based one just because the camera was one of the main reasons I got the One V (it's amazing compared to its peers' cameras in my opinion), but without being able to utilize the ImageSense chip or whatever, quality really suffers.

EDIT: If the above question is stupid, then could someone give me an opinion on which ROM I should use if I'm looking to take full advantage of the camera? Preferably, I'd like to have JB, but I'm guessing that's probably not possible. Anyway, thanks in advance.

I am back to stock rom and I don't know about a JB rom with the stock camera. Sorry.

I hope some day I will be able to do it myself. I just don't have the time to spend right now.

I have an issue

I usually use apk scanners (app installers like: installer, installer+ ...) to find apks around my phone

And have their exact name and version listed to manage them all

previously on ICS , I had no problem and all apps in internal sd card and external sd card listed after full scanning with such apps.

but after installing official 4.1.2 JB apk installer (scanners) only scan and list apks of internal sd card and cant find apps there in external sd card

any one has the same issue? any suggestion? or solution?

thank!

This may be due to the mounting point of the external SD card has changed in JB.

It is now /storage/extSDcard.

Previous the mounting point was on your internal storage.

Hi. I ordered a bumper from an eBay seller. It's arrived and for some reason I think it's a fake. It arrived in an envelope, and feels quite plastic.
