[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2black101:
This has been a massive pain in the ass for a while now. .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
9 hours deep sleep and only 1% drain.

Though the screen on time has decreased
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2black101:
Would ask you what rom but I've got lte anyway so won't help much.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Wanam2.8 and perseus32.1

Kernel is available for lte and rom is not modified much so you can figure out.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Martux76:
Dude, you're complaining with 1d 19h runtime and 6h screen on? I could never, ever get that out of my N2, no matter what version, kernel, tweak or what not... There seems to be a huge manufacturing tolerance in quality of battery or whatever else. So I just simply stopped worrying about it, charging the thing overnight and just got 2 spare batteries & additional charger for € 20. My peace of mind is worth that :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johma:
Why don't you want to go back to 4.1.1 if the update has hardly brought any improvement?

uttered through my GT-N7100 using xda-developers app
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2black101:
Not being funny but knowing that you're getting much less battery after the update does play on the mind and it is clearly a software issue which we shouldn't have to endure.

Unlike many on here, the one and only reason I got the note over the s3 was battery life. I would rather much save a couple hundred and have a more comfortable phone to hold in the s3 if I knew the battery life would get messed uo after a software update.

I also don't want to carry seperate batteries around and swap out. If I did, I would have stuck with HTC to be honest.

I just want the immense battery life of 4.1.1 back but without sacrificing new features like the browser text reflow.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Well when I compare battery life I do it with my own results. It's completely invalid to compare one's backup with others as usage pattern is different most times.

So, on 4.1.1 I got 9 hours screen on time, half dozen times, on 4.1.2 it touched 8 hours once! This is just bad.

I'm sure you know there is a bug called eMMC!

Totally and completely agree with you, and that was my point.

Either this is a game by Samsung, to level down us to S3 users, or they are simply unable or ignorant to maintain the continuity of a good thing.

The thing is, technically Note 2's battery backup was right, because on S2 we used to have 4 to 4½ hours screen on time, and that was a 1650 mAh battery, so it's almost doubled on Note 2, so it's basically normal to have 8 hours screen on, nothing ultra ordinary I'd say, but I can say what we are getting now is just BAD.

'Swyped' from my GT-N7100
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dpk1:
I have to agree completely with OP. I have been only using the stock samsung roms & i too find the battery life to be worse on 4.1.2 XXDMB2 (by approx. 10-15 %) compared to 4.1.1 roms. Although, i like everything else about the latest 4.1.2 better ;).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaworski:
Hi,

I've been doing some research on how the Nexus 4 dock detection works, but I'm stuck. As we probably all know the LG Wireless Orb will be able to activate desk dock mode, but other Qi compatible chargers won't. It means that wireless charging itself is not a trigger for dock mode activation. It also means that Orb will have NFC chip build in that will enable docking.

I've been going through the AOSP and CM source code but I've found nothing that would be connected to both NFC and dock mode activation (starting Intent.ACTION_DOCK_MODE). Does anyone know how the native detection method works? I'm starting to wonder if Google didn't include Orb support in current version and will issue an update when the Orb will be available. Or maybe I'm missing something in the source code.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
It could be the magnets.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaworski:
I don't think so. I've tried to move different magnets across whole backplate of the phone and it didn't trigger dock mode even once. The only place where the magnetic switch would be placed that make sense is in the middle in the context of the Orb.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qpqpqp:
I'm not sure about the orb anymore. It's been so long since the phone has been released but it still haven't materialized.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmp5s:
The Qi wireless charging standard, and probably others, isn't quite as simple as it sounds. Info has to be exchanged between the device and the charger. I'm sure this falls into that category.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Isn't the so called "deskdock mode" just daydream?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaworski:
This was one of my thoughts too. But still I haven't found anything in the AOSP that would indicate that dock mode is triggered by wireless charger neither. I've only found that the phone recognizes 3 charging modes: Wireless, USB and AC.

Not exactly. Daydream is just a built-in application that is started when device enters desktop dock mode and runs when phone is not used. You can install other apps that register intent filter for DOCK_EVENT intent broadcast with specific DOCK_STATE (different dock states for undock, docked in desktop dock and docked in car holder - there are also different quality modes for desktop docks).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lazyboy0172:
got the wireless charging orb, not triggering dock mode on the nexus 4...not sure how to do it. I have AOKP, nfc on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxxas049:
I'm stock and it doesn't activate the daydream mode when docked with the orb. dunno what's going on. Maybe that's why this thing was delayed.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Have you checked your day dream settings? Also, are you on 4.2.2? Google added a new sound effect for wireless charging mode in the newest update, but there might be more to it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd78:
Confirmed it does not trigger dock mode. I haven't gotten the upgrade to 4.2.2 so hopefully that fixes it?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbell13:
Because it's not a dock. It's a charger. Set daydream to turn on when charging and it works fine. The "dock" setting is for the Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus pogo pin docks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotzaDroid:
This ^^^^

It's just a simple setting folks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kd78:
It is not a simple setting it just doesn't work on my stock phone. I have tried all three settings (docked, charging, either) and none of these settings trigger daydream. Not sure what is going on. Again, haven't received 4.2.2 update yet.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbster:
Just to check, you do know that daydream comes on when your screen goes to sleep after the amount of time you have set for sleep? If you turn the screen off with the power button you will not get daydream. It should work without the update.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbell13:
Exactly. Set it on the charger with the screen on, and when the screen would normally turn off on it's own is when the daydream starts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] braingravyuk:
Sufficient charge?

Just wondering if the orb will deliver enough power to keep the screen running daydream whilst on charge via Qi, anyone tried?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Yes. Had the daydream clock going all night last night and was fully charged this morning.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
It may deliver enough power for clock mode, but I don't think it will be enough for photo display mode. I had trouble charging with a usb cable when using the photo daydream mode.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grubbster:
Runs photo mode just fine. Charges also.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Julant80:
If it's not supposed to be considered a "dock", then that means there are no docks available for the N4. If that's the case, then why would they leave dock settings enabled for the N4?

To have inductive charging treated the same way as USB charging in terms of how the phone reacts tells me Google got lazy with the fit & finish of the software functionality.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Also, check out the promotional pics for the orb. The nexus 4 on the orb is showing the battery percentage. We have yet to see that app in real life. Daydream is a poor replacement. This sounds a bit like false advertising to me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
Its battery widget reborn (beta)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Thanks. I thought it would be a stock app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
Problem I'm having is that I want to have Llama detect an NFC and launch "dock mode." Place NFC tag on orb, and voila! -- a dock.This wouldbe ideal since I could have my charging orb at work launch Clock Plus daydream, but my bedside orb at home not start Daydreams. :cool:

On my HTC Amaze, there's an app (hidden in the app drawer) that Llama can find and launch (HTC 4.0.3, Sense 3.6), Dock.

Under 4.2.2, HD Widgets has a switch button for Desk mode that invokes "desk mode," and that starts Daydream immediately (if set to "docked" or "either"). But Llama can find no App, shortcut, or activity corresponding to launching the desk/dock mode. Only the settings related to Daydream. Anyone determined a mechanism (or third party app besides home screen widgets) that can start it? I'd be happy with a shortcut (Llama can activate shortcuts if they're on a home screen).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChromeJob:
I found it. In Llama, you create an action of type Run Shortcut, the first in the long list is Activities. Find System UI, open it up, underneath is Daydream: Somnambulator -- this will activate the configured Daydream (Daydreams must be enabled).

Notice above that is Beanbag: Beanbag, which fires off the "Beanflinger" Easter Egg. Choose your poison.

For the Belgian Google (LG) Nexus 4 lovers, welcome to the Belgian Discussion Thread for Nexus 4 (I didn't find an existing one, let me know if there is one).

Chances are few that it will be released in Belgium in the (near) future. But that doesn't mean Belgians won't be able to enjoy this great 'phone'.

So, I have ordered mine from Amazon, sent it to a friend who lives in the US and another friend brought my baby home :p I paid EUR 450.I also ordered 1 back cover (Cruzerlite White Androidified Clone Army) and 1 Nillkin leather flip cover (the yellow one, of course).

With this thread we can share our experience between other Belgian owners, if they also visit XDA that is ;)

For the

technical specs

of this great phone, click here.

Pricing & Purchase

: In Belgium ... none for now.

Alternatives

Order it in Mediamarkt in Germany. They can send it to you (EUR 395 w/o shipping costs).

Order it in the Netherlands, at a much higher price (currently around EUR 540): see Tweakers.net

[Nexus 4 General] dEX2340:
If you are interested to go a step (a big step) further and want to get root access to your Nexus 4 + install custom Recovery + ROM, this is where to start:

Nexus 4 Toolkit by Mark Skippen. I advise you to donate (GBP 3 minimum) and update to the latest version.

I had one big issue with the option "1-Click For All to Unlock, Root, Rename the Restore File". After unlocking the bootloader, your phone reboots and you enter the setup screen. As I entered my Google address, it automatically started restoring my apps. In the meantime the toolkit was expecting the usb debugging mode to be activated. While restoring all the apps I did that but not fast enough I believe. Then the rest of the 1-click for all was messed up, resulting in several error messages in the toolkit. I was scared to hell that I had already messed up my phone. After some trial and error, everything seems fine now: my phone is rooted.

I'm not going to install a custom ROM on it yet, as there is still the soft reboot issue. This should be fixed now with the latest CM nightly. However, not all ROMs have this fix incorporated it seems. Until that is done, I leave my Nexus to be 'stock'.
[Nexus 4 General] dEX2340:
My Nexus has arrived! Pics after work. I was a bit afraid of the size and design but boy, it looks slick! Thinner than expected and I like the design a lot, fits nice in the hand.

Can't wait to really test it, first need to amend sim card.

EDIT: next to the new Nexus 4, my HTC Desire looks plain ugly :D

I kindly remind you to post in English.
[Nexus 4 General] PJBeast:
My aunt is coming to Belgium tomorrow with the Nexus I ordered on the 4th of December(!). Took them 8 weeks to ship and had to wait a weeks for my aunt to visit me. Waited 3 months, and let's just hope it wont disappoint.

How does the Androidified case fit? I'm thinking of buying one. :) Minding taking some pictures of it? Alstublieft, merci! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] PuijkeN:
Nice cool thread.. I went to Mediamarkt Aachen thuis week. Just grabbed one of the 30 they still had in stock.

Quite the drive but the phone definatly worth it! I'm coming from Galaxy Nexus and the speed of this phone is outstanding compared to it's predecessor!

Really happy and an exclusive phone here in Belgium!
[Nexus 4 General] dEX2340:
Pics (poor quality)

Now that I'm back from work (and could finally set up the phone!) I took some pics. As they were taken inside with bad lighting, the quality is disappointing. I will try to make better pictures tomorrow during the day. Rest assured, in reality the phone looks much better than on pics (even the promo pics).

But boy oh boy, I'm verry happy with my decision. I can't imagine somebody would be disappointed with this purchase. Of course there are some downsides but that's the case for every phone. Price/quality, it's unbeatable for the moment I believe.

I left on the plastic covers on front (+/- sign and power indication) and back. But when you start using protection, soon you see air under the plastic.

On the pics you see the Cruzerlite Androidified Clone Army (white). It fits very well, is light, doesn't add too much bulk, adds some grip, and gives a basic protection.

Comparison HTC Desire - iPhone 4 - Google Nexus 4 (with air bubbles under plastic cover)

Ordered mine on german play store, got it delivered to a German address box (mailboxde.com)

Ordered on 15/12 got it on 21/1 in mailboxde.com and got it delivered in Belgium on 27/1 ;)

Total costs: €376

So sad that we can't buy it in Belgium, capital of Europe my ass!
[Nexus 4 General] Double-UA:
Bought mine on eBay

Bought mine on eBay (from Germany), €425 plus shipping.

A bit more expensive but got it within a week.

Ordered a bumper in the US (expensive, grrr) and Martin Fields covers (front and back) in the UK (both in transit...) It's such a shame (scandalous really) that Google isn't offering the Nexus line-up or extended Google Play functionality in Belgium having Brussels as the Capital of Europe… @Google, #notdone!

Oh and yes, I'm happy to have it but I'm looking for another kernel to tweak and unlock the true potential of the screen. For the rest, it's perfect!

Thanks for the tip! Never heard from Mailboxde and I'm definitely going to use it!
[Nexus 4 General] dEX2340:
Just an update on my CruzerLite case (white): after using it for 1 week now, it got a blue shine, from my jeans :)

A bit disappointing as it doesn't look very neat and clean. I'm expecting my Nillkin leather case by the end of next week (shipped on Feb 4).

2 new phones are arriving today. If you're interested, PM me.
[Nexus 4 General] Double-UA:
Cases.... Grrrr

Picked up a Bugatti Steel XL Case (S3/One X compatible) up this week but it's rather hard to get the phone out... Missed a dozen of calls...

Not really my cup (or case) of tea :)... Better buy something else people!
[Nexus 4 General] kinglargo:
What Rom are you on? I installed CyanogenMod 10.1 since a week and it's rock stable.

Now CM10.1 is even on 4.2.2 ;)
[Nexus 4 General] dEX2340:
I'm also on CM 10.1. The Asylum ROM seems good as well. Are u on stock kernel?
[Nexus 4 General] kinglargo:
Yep, but if you have better performance and battery life on another kernel I'm interested.
[Nexus 4 General] Riddle007:
I picked up my nexus 4 from MediaMarkt Aachen last week and must say I'm very pleased with it. Coming from a Galaxy SII with CM9 it's a nice step forward. I love the fast updates and I'm never going to switch to a non-nexus device anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] Tortel:
Ordered mine Monday 11th february with the help of French friend (359€ wtih shipping fees). Can't stand waiting :crying:

I'm totally new in the Android world. I come from a HTC Diamond wtih a custom Windows Mobile 6.1 => So pretty much a mountain of stuff to learn :cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] dEX2340:
You'll enjoy it a lot Tortel! The last Android versions are very good. And custom ROMs make it even beter.

@kinglargo: gonna try Franco's kernel or Trinity.
[Nexus 4 General] bledina:
Greetings!

I finally made the move from my good ol' Nexus S to the Nexus 4. Mine comes from Mediamarkt in Germany. I ordered a diztronic case which has shipped. In the meantime, it's protected by some sort of neoprene soft shell.

It's definitely (and obviously) a big jump in performance compared to my previous phone. I love it! And I can finally ditch my tablet to play Ingress (because it doesn't run well at all on the Nexus S)
[Nexus 4 General] The Transporter:
I'm using Paranoid Android since 2 weeks, I love it :)

PS: Hi, fellow friends !
[Nexus 4 General] Dellair:
My girlfriend bought one too in a Mediamarkt in Germany. But lately she has some cell connection problems.

Anyone else experiencing this?

She’s losing cell phone connection regularly (very annoying when calling).

Sometimes incoming text messages aren’t received until reboot.

The ROM used is stock 4.2.2.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] kinglargo:
What's her provider and where does she live? Did you try another sim card?
[Nexus 4 General] Dellair:
Mobile Vikings (Base), Belgium (near Ghent).

Yes, but without any luck.
[Nexus 4 General] kinglargo:
ARF, I'm Mobile Vikings too. And I don't experience drops.

Did you try if you have the problem in Brussels?

Also, try a complete wipe and restore, if that doesn't help then you should consider sending back to Google. I know it's a pain in the ass.
[Nexus 4 General] DiederikC:
Hi, fellow belgians:)

I'm planning on getting a n4 now having a one x .but where can i get him the cheapest in france germany or 2dehands.be?

Cheers

sent with my fingers.
[Nexus 4 General] Riddle007:
I guess Google play will always be the cheapest. If they are on stock. Check out this link for info how to buy in Germany: http://delvauxkoen.blogspot.be (search for nexus, there are 2 posts).

If you don't want to wait, MediaMarkt and Saturn both offer it for 395.
[Nexus 4 General] dEX2340:
"sent with my fingers" :)

Germany: 395 if you have a company car :)

NL: 475 for the moment

2de hands.be: 400-450 (I've just sold the 2 I had left)

Google Play indeed the cheapest but you have to wait a few weeks (and it requires a bit of tweaking).

What I did: buy on Amazon.com, deliver it at a friend's address in US and another friend brought my baby home.

Still waiting for the Nilkin leather flip cover (yellow). I expect it to arrive this week (shipped on Feb 4, arriving from China).
[Nexus 4 General] Riddle007:
Or live in the east (Limburg, Liege). For me, Aachen is just 45 km away. :)
[Nexus 4 General] dEX2340:
Sweet, for the moment I've always used CM10.1 with the latest nightly and Franco kernel (recently r90). AnTuTu benchmark tests were around 17,000. I saw several people have +20,000. Now I have flashed the Motley kernel #39 and result is 21,121!

EDIT: with #40 below 20,000 again.

I'll try this kernel for a while.
[Nexus 4 General] kinglargo:
Honestly I get around 20.000 with stock. Benchmark are crap as they are optimized for some chips only.

If you are on cm 10.1 it's better to stick to stock kernel or you won't have any support from them.
[Nexus 4 General] tlf55:
Hi, just wondering if they have left in MediaMarkt Aachen ? I planned to go there on this Week-end if they have in stock..
[Nexus 4 General] Riddle007:
2 weeks ago they were. But they were stored in a secured locker, so I can't say how many were left. The only thing I can say is that when I asked the salesman if they were on stock, he told me "yes, sure" rather than "let me check", so I guess they had/have plenty. No way to be sure though.
[Nexus 4 General] kinglargo:
Why don't you call them? It's better to be sure before going for nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] Double-UA:
Just call them, Google Mediamarkt Aachen and you have the number...
