[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sherwinnn:
I also flash too much ROMs in a month... I suggest don't flash too much roms in a month... About overclock, try not too overclock until too much cause your phone will heat up...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
As we can't change the CPU voltage inside the phone so we strongly recommended don't using the overclock kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Waledac:
flashing wont affect ur phone but overclocking can affect ur phone :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ianjay06:
Thank you... For all the advices
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Xperia_Fans:
Yes I also do this as well as using my Xperia p and it's still alive :D :D

[Galaxy S III Android Development] vibsOveebs:
So I'm a new dev and I just compiled Paranoid Android fresh from the source and if anyone wants they can give this ROM a try.

PARANOID ANDROID 3.1 for i9300 only!!

Things known that are semi broken-->

Hybrid Properties (you tell me)

How to flash-->

Unfortunately a wipe is REQUIRED even if you're coming form 4.2/4.1 etc!!!!!!!

Update your recovery to the latest version. Pre 4.2 recoveries can mess up your sd card. TWRP is recommended

THERE IS NO OFFICAL GAPPS FOR 4.2.2 YET

Do not restore system apps, system data and Google apps. This can cause bootloops and other problems due to mismatches from CM to AOSP and Android version 4.1.2 to 4.2.

Downloads ---->

i have a galaxy pocket.. well it is a 2.3.6 android, can i upgrade it to android version 4?
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
I'm really not understanding why so many people dislike the Nexus 4. Is it due to the terrible launch? And why keep comparing it to the Galaxy S3? Vanilla Android and Touchwiz both have their ups and downs. Lack of LTE really shouldnt be an issue unless you are on Verizon. For $350 (including tax of course;) ) you get a phone with a quadcore processor,Adreno 320 GPU, fully unlocked, and timely updates. Not to mention the amount of money you wiuld save getting a prepaid service no contract.

Sorry if I made a few mistakes. This is my first post in this forum and just received my Nexus 4. Any advice would be helpful for future threads.
[Nexus 4 General] longebane:
I don't think you're gonna find anyone who dislikes the Nexus 4 here bro
[Nexus 4 General] twolfekc:
I have a note 2, gs3, gs2, galaxy nexus, droid RAZR, iPhone 5, and a nexus 4. Guess which one is my favorite? The nexus 4!!
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
No not here. I see it in numerous forums and threads. People bash the nexus 4 before they bash the S3. Its being compared to the S4 and that phone hasn't even came out yet!
[Nexus 4 General] Sinfamy:
I don't know, people like to nitpick. My problem with the Nexus 4 is the same as the Galaxy Nexus I previously owned, its never 100% perfect, even after an RMA, there is still a bit of black light bleeding, a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, my wireless charging orb stopped working, had to RMA that, and so on, the Nexus line to me has always had some flaws in terms of hardware reliability.

That being said, the Nexus 4 is among the most beautiful phones, up there with the high end Xperia phones, and with amazing hardware, so asides from the hardware imperfections that one might encounter if unlucky, its a great phone.

I cannot think of a single phone other than the new Xperia (if aosp) that is coming out that I would trade my Nexus 4 for.
[Nexus 4 General] twolfekc:
People bash it because they don't have it
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
you just might be right sir. This is actually my first nexus device. I honestly was really close in getting the S3 until I saw this technological beauty being demoed at a local T-Mobile store. I swear I heard the phone calling my name lol. I immediately forgot all about the S3 and purchased the N4 full price.
[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
Where is this so called backlash at?
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Jealousy is a powerful emotion.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
Well maybe not a backlash, but numerous threads and forums bash the nexus 4 as if Google completely messed up the device. Lack of LTE, lack of storage, glass back (guess they forgot about the "rave" reviews about iPhone 4 hardware), phone isn't thin enough, etc. CNET gave the phone a 3.5 out of 5 while S3 got a 4 out of 5. They gave the Galaxy Nexus a 5 out of 5 and the N4 is a complete upgrade! So a removable battery on Galaxy Nexus makes it perfect?
[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
Don't pay attention to ***** ratings.. Nothing but a popularity contest.. Read the conclusions and see if the `cons' are anything you deem a problem. They focused on lack of LTE which is a legit gripe no matter how you spin it and how well HSPA+ works.. It is a technology that is sort expected now a days. But.. Unless it personally affects you.. Then it doesn't matter..

They also focused on calling it "uninspiring" "not expanding the Nexus brand".. That's when I stop taking them seriously.. When reviewers start getting all Martha Stewart on you.. It's time to stop reading.
[Nexus 4 General] fatum2002:
It is just not flawless: back glass, which can crack in any day, noise from earpiece, non-vibrant screen - these spoil impression from the phone. It is my first nexus devise (I had xperia Ion before it) and I expected much more from it. I still haven't decided which one to sell - Nexus or Ion. Ion is flawless except that hardware quite old.
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
And that's what makes the difference between the nexus 4 and everything else. It will constantly get updates before any other phone. I can totally understand the glass back being fragile.
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
I'm not trying to sound like a fanboy with this being my first nexus device. But honestly where else are you going to find an unlocked top tier phone with high end specs for $300. Put in perspective, a galaxy note 2 costs $299 with a two year contract. That's not even the full price of actual phone which is over $600. Over $600 for a phone that may or may not get Key Lime Pie. The nexus is guaranteed to get it and faster than anybody else.
[Nexus 4 General] jonathanyong:
Have the thermal throttling issues been resolved since launch?
[Nexus 4 General] fatum2002:
For me it doesn't matter how much it costs - I could buy iphone 5, but I don't like iOS. Price is just a good bonus. Having top hardware specs is good, but will not you feel disappointed if your back glass is cracked? And this state of waiting and checking if it is cracked or not... I hate being in situation like this. Maybe in some time I will stop thinking of this. Will not you be disappointed if you had another device with worse specs, but with so much better display?
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
That's a good question...
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
I'm not saying cost should be a factor, but rather value. Look at what u get for such a low cost. I can understand the glass back being an issue. But I'd rather have the back shatter then the display itself. Luckily I have a case. Either way I would be disappointed. But which would really tick u off, shattering a phone $700 or shattering a phone $300?
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
I'm not sure as of yet. From what I've read it hasnt been that much of an issue unless you're doing extreme multitasking. So far Ive played Need for Speed Most Wanted while listening to music and it hasnt shut down yet. It does heat up though but not bad enough to shut the entire phone down.
[Nexus 4 General] fatum2002:
I spent 475$ for 16 GB version - that is its price in the UK. And i spent about 100$ for different accessories for it (skins, cases, etc). Maybe if lived in US and bought it for 300 I would have a different opinion :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
Is that the current price on Google Play?
[Nexus 4 General] fatum2002:
420$ (279 pounds) is official price on GP in the UK. Because I'm not UK resident I also lost a lot of money on currency conversion.
[Nexus 4 General] drbrainsol:
That still is the US price+VAT (which they don't pay i think). So not a really big deal. If you're running a business of any kind you can get that VAT back :P
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
Oh ok. Still, $475 for what you get for the life of the phone really aint that bad. So is it the price universal or does it depend on region?
[Nexus 4 General] tweaked:
Maybe I just don't hang around nerds? But I have never heard of this backlash you speak of.

Granted I only come to this site and then I only read the things that interest me here. But still The phone was sold out for months. I don't think that reading any site can actually give you any true numbers towards backlash.
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
Normally once I purchase a new item I will go online and see what others felt about it. The majority enjoy the phone. However, most tech sites downplay the nexus 4 and even say that Google failed at making any incremental upgrades. I personally believe that the launch gave some a bad taste in their mouths about the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] monte666:
Sounds like you should have read a little more I don't have any call sound and with a case why are you worried about the back it's not going to spontaneously shatter no matter what some threads say Personally I love my nexus gave my brother my t999 the minute my T-Mobile store got this in. Glass back is freaking cool phone Is a beast play asphalt seven on it then on a s3 no lag on the nexus gets all choppy on the s3. And if you think about it you could have spent 700 on the optimus g
[Nexus 4 General] parker_dhd:
Honestly, if it wasn't for the low price point I'd have gone with the GS3 after the complete clusterf**k that was the Nexus 4 launch.

When I first read about the N4 I wasn't that excited by it. Largely I was skeptical because I've never used an LG smartphone (or even seen one outside a store). But the more I read, the more excited I got until I was counting down the days to launch. I put my email down for a notification of when they were going on sale.

Then I read somewhere that not only had they gone on sale but they'd sold out in half an hour. Where was my email notification, Google?

I checked the Play Store every day for weeks and it never changed from 'temporarily unavailable'. Finally it changed to 'out of stock', then 'coming soon'.

It was THREE MONTHS before I was able to get one, and only then because a friend of a friend heard through the grapevine that they were going on sale again. Why didn't they do pre-orders? I hope the person in charge of estimating demand got fired.

If there was a comparable device on the market, or if I'd actually needed (rather than wanted) a new device I'd have gone elsewhere. And I'll sure as hell won't be getting excited for the Nexus 5 at launch.

Saying that, it is a freaking awesome phone. Google just need to sort their **** out.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Sounds like its your problem instead of n4s.
[Nexus 4 General] Smallsmx3:
Non vibrant screen? This screen blows my gnex screen out of the water. There are details in pictures and graphics that are lost in my old gnexs amoleds screen that just pop in the n4...I'll take clarity over ridiculous color saturation any day. Plus the colors on my n4 pop
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
Exactly...its an awesome phone. But I think a lot of people got swayed away because of the terrible launch. Maybe finding out that LG was making it added some extra salt to it.
[Nexus 4 General] illgodson:
Just got the N4 yesterday, coming over from the HD2 as my everyday phone but own an N7, Galaxy S and an S3. My only skepticism coming in was that it was an LG, never had one before but had faith that Google let them make a Nexus device and it would be right. So far I couldn't be happier, battery has been very good in the minimal time I've had it, screen is awesome...like it much more than the saturated look of my S3. UI is incredibly snappy, phone feels great in my hand but a little slick I'm thinking a case will help that though. I'm a little concerned about the glass but I'm typically very careful with my phones, but coming from the metal of my HD2 i do feel like one mishap and I could have shrapnel lol. Im a flash addict but honestly haven't had the desire to do it yet, probably gonna root today just to try some N4 apps like the screen adjust thing but that's it.
[Nexus 4 General] fatum2002:
Where I said that a price is a problem for me? I would pay twice of this price if it was flawless.

Yes, non vibrant screen.... If you had a worse screen before (like GN pentile) and changed it to better one it still doesn't mean that it is good. I can take N4 and Ion in my hands, set the same brightness and picture - and i see that N4 screen is rubbish comparing to Ion's (and, btw, I'm using matrix kernel with PA color settings).

I don't want to flame. Nexus 4 has great specs (CPU, RAM, GPU), it will always have the latest android, but, to my mind, build quality and used parts could have been better... much better.

Everyone can decide what is more important for him personally.
[Nexus 4 General] mrjoeltan:
That's true. The N4 screen isn't the best, it could be improved, but that's one of the sacrifices you make in exchange for a cheap phone, that has the best specs. Google & LG had to sacrifice some things in order to reach the price the wanted to sell the N4 at. I'm paying the full price for it from tmobile, but I chose this phone over the S3 because of the better specs and the beauty of the phone. Touchwiz on the s3 and that button at the bottom of the screen ruined it for me.
[Nexus 4 General] woody296:
Yawn, it has to have a case like any phone should, display is as good as any other device. Good god the screen is under 5 inches how much better does it need to be? Nothing can touch it for how much phone you get at the price you pay. That is what makes it the king...for now.;)
[Nexus 4 General] subxero123:
Hate it because Google's too lazy to put official lte on it even though it's fully capable, I still use it though, not upgrading to 4.2.2

Canadian lte ftw
[Nexus 4 General] creaturemachine:
Try the update then flash back to the 4.2.1 radio. It works. I only hope it keeps working, or some kind soul modifies future radios to keep it working.

This!
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
You know LTE will require certification throughout the world, right? Which is not about laziness.
[Nexus 4 General] Nigeldg:
Hah I know that feeling. My HD2 came with a pouch case which protected the phone really well (2 years of use and no scratches), so I bought one for my N4 as well. It adds a bit of bulk but essentially protects the whole phone and allows you to use it 'naked'. The only issue is that if any fine sand/particulates get into the pouch and I put the device in, it's pretty much going to get scratched on the front and back.
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
This!
[Nexus 4 General] m4r0v3r:
I don't understand why people complain about the glass back, I see it as a good thing. Makes the phone feel nice in my hand.
[Nexus 4 General] CodeNil:
People don't give it a chance. LG has a bad rep and people won't give it a chance. IMO
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
The glass back is nice to look at but it makes the phone more fragile.
[Nexus 4 General] NardVa:
The GSIII is a beast and the GSIV will probably be a beast but these phones run too much off contract. Off contract the Nexus 4 is the best deal in my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
That's what makes the nexus 4 such a great phone. It already has one advantage over all phones and that's timely updates. Guarantee it takes months for the HTC One to get its updates, same goes with S4.
[Nexus 4 General] m4r0v3r:
meh I've dropped it quite a bit, the back has been scratched not heavily but in the right light you can see it. Other than that no problems at all.
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
So is the back Gorilla Glass as well? I've seen conflicting statements about it being regular glass or Gorilla Glass 2.
[Nexus 4 General] EnIXmA:
Nope, the back is definitely not made of gorilla glass. Don't care what others say, haters would always be haters. I simply love my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] qpqpqp:
My sister in law told me to ditch the N4 and get a iphone 5. I was like wtf are you crazy? I'm going to spend more money and get a smaller phone with less functionality. I think people just fall into marketing traps and they also got this feeling that just because they spend more money on a phone it WILL be better.
[Nexus 4 General] jlbanks:
Crazy how the iPhone came out in 2007 yet STILL has the exact same layout in 2013. And still cost upwards of $600. Apple is great at marketing. Or should I say was great...
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Back probably isn't GG (LG probably needed to make their own in order to do the pattern), but it is tempered glass, like GG. That's why it shatters like it does.

Anyways the N4 is probably the most premium feeling device I've ever handled. It's sleek, solid, and sexy.

Brand recognition and locking in upgrades. If you change too much people won't upgrade to your product. It's also incredibly expensive to design from scratch --- not to mention marketing it. That's why you get phone series (iPhone 1-5, GS1-4, etc) rather than a completely new product every year. Refining something that already works well is the way to go --- and the iPhone's hardware definitely works well.
[Nexus 4 General] d_phekt:
This kind of thing happens with any product where there are competitors. Ford vs. Chevy, Coke vs. Pepsi, etc. People will always have an opinion. What matters most is what is best for YOUR wants/needs/budget. Ignore what others say... Unless they wanna pay for it.
[Nexus 4 General] trillo69:
That's true. When I tell my friends with GS3 that my N4 costs 299€ after they try it I can see their faces like 'did I got scammed with mine at 500€ or 200€+2year contract?'. They have to convince themselves they did a worse buy (on quality/money terms).

Definately, outside this small geek world, people trusts more in marketing than any other thing, and it's hard for them to face reality and that's when blacklash appears. Moreover, some people just doesn't understand that every electronic device will be overcommed in a near future by others.

Anyway, you will find haters everywhere, like if N4 didn't have any flaws (otg bug, low storage, low quality photos).

PS: i'm sorry for my poor english. :S
[Nexus 4 General] simonb255:
I love my nexus
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Even if you have that amount of cash, good luck finding a flawless phone.

Every phone I owned, and I read about have some flaws throughout its shelf-life.

But I can tell you this: N4 is the LEAST flawed phone I've ever owned. Yes I didn't own a lot of phones, but that doesn't mean I can't compare with what I had before.

Still can't beat my Sager laptop in terms of flawlessness lol.

Which is common sense if you know the back is....GLASS?

Some people seems to think glass is concrete and unbreakable.

If you got used to plastic body then you have to be more careful with glass back, common sense. You toss around a plastic plate, but will you toss around a glass/ceramic plate?

---------- Post added at 11:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

The back IS GG, period.

Your souce is a Play Store CSR claimed the back is not GG.

As I replied earlier, if I don't believe Play Store CSR about shipping time, why should I believe them about the material used on the back?
