[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernestwisnu:
My advice: Get Nexus 4. I currently own an Optimus 4X HD, despite it's great specs, I must say this phone is a let down.

Why you shouldn't get an O4X:

1. Battery performance super sucks. I managed only to get 12 hours with light usage (I mean, LIGHT)

2. Tegra chipset isn't really compatible with some games. I tried NFS, Nova and it's laggy

3. Update support is extremely poor. I'm still stuck with 4.0.3 and JB update is still indefinite to arrive

Browse O4X thread and see for yourself how many O4X users are unhappy with their handsets.

So, get a N4 and live a happy life.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
The specs of the 4X HD looked great until I saw the words 'Tegra 3' on GSMarena. You'll be very frustrated with the performance of the Tegra 3, it's quite an awful chipset. Sure, there are tonnes of Tegra optimised apps, but the fact of the matter is that my friend's One X on JB still lags due to the Tegra 3. Even relatively light games such as Super Hexagon (you should try it out if you haven't) and Temple Run 2 (I know it isn't that light but for a phone of this gen it shouldn't be a problem) lag on it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbrainsol:
Then i have to say that the nexus is not the device for you. The coolest thing bout nexus devices is that they are really easy to mod and customize. If you don't plan on doing that, there's no point in getting a nexus device. However, the N4 has the added bonus of being cheap but it still might not be enough for some users (yourself included apparently)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gino_76ph:
The reason why i'm not a fan of custom kernels and ROMs is maybe perhaps i haven't done it before and i might further "damage" the phone's OS and i might not be able to revert the OS back to its factory settings.

I'm still quite happy with JB on my Galaxy Nexus. The stock version of JB is very slick and i would imagine how even more smoother it is on the Nexus 4.

So far the complaints of the O4XHD has been kind of a viscious circle. Lag has been the word for today. And the fact that it has no JB makes it even more frustrating. I have just emailed LG and their reply re: my list of issues is that there has "been no known issue" with the said phone and they have no word as to when JB is incoming.

The Nexus 4 has still its flaws i think and that doesn't mean it is that good. But now, i'm more geared toward this phone as a "safe" choice rather than the O4XHD.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikolasr200:
may i ask sth as well..

regarding the sensitivity issue on the screen, is it regarded as a software issue, or a hardware one?

i m currently thinking of buying a nexus 4, but i m kind of worried about the sensitivity issue, and i keep seeing people complaining about it http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=40445 is there any official response on this issue?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbrainsol:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
It's being a "problem" is a matter of opinion. If you type or select with your nails, you might consider it one.

Also, it's the touchscreen driver, which is part of the kernel, so it would be a "software issue."

Hi there!

I currently have the Galaxy Nexus phone and i'm looking to replace it with a new-ish phone. I heard about how good is the Galaxy SII but the "Plus" version has just come out with slightly improved specs.

But my question is about the audio chip inside. Is it the same as the original SII (which was rather poor and has bad audio output/reproduction) or the much older and original Galaxy S? Is it the Wolfson or the Yamaha chip?

Please advice. Thanks.
[Hardware Hacking General] shandy1996:
Not sure yet...

From what I can gather, the only difference between the two is an improved video core for the SII Plus.

Not much information has been revealed, but apparently the main chip set is the same.

Keep an eye out for more information, and be sure to think hard before you buy :)

Peace,

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MadManMark:
No I'm afraid there is not
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] creative-2008:
I'm interested in hearing about the security that other Android users employ on their devices. I don't ever have anything particularly sensitive on my device, but certainly data and images that I wouldn't want other people to have access to should my device be lost or stolen.

Obviously the first starting point is a lock screen code which I already have in place. I use a four digit pin code, and realise from playing around with it that after five incorrect attempts the device will make you wait 30 seconds before trying again. Is this the only restriction, or does the time get longer, or trigger something else after more attempts?

Secondly, I have a number of photographs stored on the SD card. Thinking about it this is a big security issue as someone could simply take it out of the phone and plug it straight into a laptop and go through the data.

The next issue is the encryption of the phone itself. I know that there is an encryption option built in, but I'm of the understanding that the password has to be the same as the lockscreen code. Which seems far from ideal as a 4 digit pin for the lockscreen code is convenient, but probably not strong enough if you're encryping data.

Finally, the option of a remote wipe. I've used a variety of apps in the past, but haven't installed any since installing my latest ROM. What do people use?

I'm interested to hear any input about what people use on the device, or what ways I could increase the security of my device.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
Anyone getting hold of your phone can easily get to your data unless you encrypt them.

The best bet I think would be to install the EDS app or the Cryptonite app (both available on the Play). The latter has the capability to open and mount a Truecrypt container.

(I think you have to create the container first on a PC, but since I don't use Cryptonite, I can't be sure of it).

For remotely wiping your phone, I heard Avast! Antivirus app has the best reviews; and it's free.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] creative-2008:
Why do you favour EDS/Cryptonite over the built in Android encryption method. They seem to offer more flexibility to me. Will they encrypt the whole phone, or just a new, special folder? Like an encrypted zip file in a way.

I've installed Avast and am in the process of setting it all up.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] pepoluan:
I prefer not all of my SD Card to be encrypted, since encryption is taxing to the CPU. Truecrypt containers will be mounted as a folder, so it's what I wanted: a space to store files which will be encrypted, without needing to encrypt the whole phone.

TrueCrypt also needs to be manually mounted; Android encfs gets automatically mounted on boot.

Plus, TrueCrypt containers have been known to stump even three-letter organizations.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] creative-2008:
Thanks for sharing you knowledge with me.

I'm going to give the TrueCrypt approach a go. I'll probably set up a small area on the SD card first with some documents and photos and see how that works out.

There are other areas though that I wouldn't want a thief to have access to, such as my messages or perhaps my recent photos? I assume these can't be stored in the TrueCrypt container, but would be protected by encrypting the whole phone with Android's method.

[HTC One X] max-halmat:
I Flashed boot the first one with all-in-0ne-kit how can i do this?? coz it's only accept to flash .img format
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
This is why i don't like toolkits that much

1: download ANDROID SDK (Google)

2: uninstall HTC syncmanager but leave the drivers

3: unpack the android sdk package and navigate to a folder named platform tools

4: open a command window inside that folder (hold shift + click the right mousebutton-select open command window here

5: put the phone in the bootloader, you must see "fastboot usb" in red text

6: type in the command window

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash boot boot.emmc.win

Fastboot erase cache
[HTC One X] {< r o N o $:
Mr hofs,

I thought twrp did not provide boot.img and thought that was a disadvantage to cwm.

Thanks for the INFO :good:
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes that's correct, TWRP does not provide a boot.img but always a boot.emmc.win file ..... ans yes that's maybe a small disadvantage also when you want to repack your backup kernel. The most repackers (if not all) only accept boot.img files :cool:

Hi there!

I currently have the Galaxy Nexus phone and i'm looking to replace it with a new-ish phone. I heard about the quad-core Optimus 4X HD but after reading the reviews and videos online i have some questions especially:

1. Very bad autofocus on camera

2. Lags galore when playing graphics-intensive games (which you would expect a quad-core phone can handle)

3. Wifi issues - when held in a specific way

4. Very poor speaker output and/or audio output quality

5. Poor battery life even though its 2150mAh

Has these issues been addressed lately with some software updates from LG/Google? Still no word on a Jelly Bean update?

Please advice. Thanks.

[Hardware Hacking General] gino_76ph:
Thanks for the reply but it still doesn't give me the confidence of buying the Optimus 4X HD.

The actual phone itself was made available late Summer 2012. The Nexus 4 came out around that time as well albeit some supply issues and the N4 has Jelly Bean as it's stock OS. Its currently March 2013 and still no word or info from LG about the JB update.

I still think LG hasn't learned from last year. Very slow updates on their phones (not even minor bug fixes now & again) and seemingly the same old issues (like poor battery life, lag in app transitions & games, poor autofocus, poor audio output, etc.) have been plaguing their phones from the past 2 years.

How can one be certain and reassured that a JB update is coming and that the update will somehow fix those common issues and problems?

The only things that used to save external was apps which I don't mind. I tried looking threw the cameras setting to see if maybe theirs a option that let's you choose between external or internal saving. But their nothing their. I tried going into storage under settings to maybe select my default storage and nothing their either.
