[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekken179:
Well I'll start off with saying how psyched I am about getting this phone regardless of what's coming out so far this year.

Believe it or not I've been using a badly cracked screen Xperia Play for 8 months and just haven't bothered with the mobile world since then.

I'm currently living in the UK and I have a few questions in regards to the Nexus 4 and general concerns.

How easy is it exactly to crack the screens front/back?

What case would you recommend for some one who is accident prone (nothing to bulky)?

How long did it take for UK customers to receive theirs after purchase? I'm getting the 16gb model and I went to checkout to check and they're telling me 1-2 business days?

Where can I get good wallpapers for it? I normally use Zedge but I had a nosey at their Nexus 4 walls and there isn't that many, I can just make my own or rescale other HD images but meh, I like looking for things I don't have.

In the UK do they need the micro sims? I ordered one anyway just incase.

Are there any apps that really stand out on the Nexus 4 for you?

Is it possible to root without boot loader unlocking it? Does it not come boot loader unlocked if ordered from the Google Play store?

Also is there any other cheaper method to have it display on A TV other than the slimport output http://www.amazon.co.uk/Slimport-HDMI-adapter-Connect-projector/dp/B009UZBLSG#lbhuc_854718

Are there any good speaker docks for nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faktor4u:
Hi. Mine came after 2 days (I ordered it at 11pm Saturday and it came in early Tuesday morning). I'm currently living in UK too. I had to order micro sim from O2.

Cheers that's good to hear lmao :) I hate waiting, too impatient.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drbrainsol:
I should have gotten my phone in 2 days as well but some f*** ups from TNT extended it to 4 days. It appears that i was unlucky though as nobody else reported issues with the courier service. It might only be my local depot. Anyways, get a TPU case from ebay. It should provide it with enough protection for lightish drops. I got a really nice, clear one with an s pattern on the back from ebay for 2 quid. I'm also still using the original film on the front and back. They're doing their job alright :)

Regarding the micro sim... Just take your sim card to any phone corner shop and they will cut it to the right size for you. They offered to do it for free in my case. Left them 50 pence tip :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neefy:
I just cut my sim manually with a pair of scissors :)

Ha I didn't even know that worked!, Well my father is good at all that stuff and has much steadier hands and eyes than me, I'll have to give him a shout.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcb-1899:
My Nexus 4 arrives tomorrow :) !!! I'm also coming from a broken Xperia Play, my screen just came unresponsive and then it stopped working. I'm not from the UK but lately google has been shipping this devices in the expected time if not sooner.

As for the case, I ordered the official bumper (looks awesome, in pictures at least...) and the Spigen SGP Ultra Dual from Amazon. I'll coma back tomorrow to post my initial impressions on the bumper an the screen protector, I hope it doesn't add too much bulk
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opticaldh:
that's a little tricky. I cut my counsin's sim successfully, but when I cut my sim, it didn't work...

Titanium Backup is good for... backup, if you are looking an useful apps for Nexus 4. I also use System Tuner to turn off some background-running and start-up apps, as well as watch the CPU's temperature. Another apps I use is BetterBatteryStats. You also need an apps like Solid Explorer (trial for 7 days), however there are many apps with the same function, and free. Topic for you http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1992163

The Ballistic is bulky based on people's reviews, but they say it provides quite good protection.

I have this case http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1992163, two layers, you can see the images and decide for yourself. If you want to see the back of your nexus, you can use the official bumper although some folks really dont like it because it provides nothing to protect the back. There is a case with a transparent back, the Ringkee or something, go to Accessories, that thread is quite hot there.

For the back and front screen. Becareful. dont drop it and it will stay in good condition. I recommend a screen protector to avoid scratches.

I dont know how it is easy to crack the phone. I take my phone everywhere in my jeans' pocket (not skinny :eek: ) and it 's still good now without a scratch.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekken179:
Cheers :) Yea I ordered a micro-sim anyway I feel like changing my number as there is a few contacts I wish no longer had my number, not that they bother with me nor I with them, but just to make sure they don't ;)

As for the second link, it's the same post (must have apps lol) what case? :S

For the Slimport adapter, you can at least save a few quid if you use the coupon code ANDROID3 at checkout on Amazon.co.uk. Saves you £3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tekken179:
Ordered it this morning, shipped by 5pm GMT, could it come tonight?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tye_time:
I ordered mine at 2118 on a Monday night and I had it Tuesday morning... Can't complain :)

I don't have ant screen protectors or a case for mine - just need to be careful, just think a case ruins the look of the phone and I'm not willing to compromise :D

[HTC Desire C] keh_tolo:
Hi Folks,

I've had the HTC Desire C for a while now, and have tried a few different ROMS to date. I'm currently running Nameless 5.03 on it (a bit old, i know)

I have a couple of questions really.

Ok, first off, what is the fastest, most stable ROM for this phone, as lately it's slowness has become annoying.

(I haven't tried overclocking yet or any of the other optimizations (scripting), but I'm willing to go there if i can't get a decent result with a ROM.)

Secondly, I've noticed in the music app, there are little interruptions sometimes with the smoothness of the music, which is annoying. I then check Task Manager and there is lots of crap running in there. I close most of it.. but later on it's runnig again.

Is it safe to remove these apps/packages altogether (I'm assuming it as, as the phone runs perfectly without them running)

And lastly, is there a ROM out there that is mostly stirpped down with all of these crapps removed already. I suppose what I'm trying to achieve is a streamlined and as fast as possible phone, without all the crapps.?

All answers welcome.. cheers! :good:

UPDATE
[HTC Desire C] smoza:
R: [Q] Fastest, most stable Peared-Down ROM

I'm running revolution De-Sene rom, and it's a bit faster than nameless because it's without sense (which make the phone slower). Anyway, nameless 7 is more stable and faster than nameless 5, but I didn't tried slim sense yet, maybe it's better than these...
[HTC Desire C] Phenziox:
slim sense is not better than revolution, because it's older and is still in 1.0.

the dev has left the forum and the rom hasn't had any bugfixes yet. i wouldnt suggest even trying slim sense
[HTC Desire C] smoza:
R: [Q] Fastest, most stable Peared-Down ROM

Is the CYG rom good?
[HTC Desire C] brnt:
Sense is hard-coded into the Revolution base. It's not without Sense, sure, Sense launcher is not its default and it's made to look AOSP-ish, but it's still Sense.

For the record, I'm using the latest Nameless now and I'm happy with it.
[HTC Desire C] keh_tolo:
Thanks for the replies. I'm going to move onto Nameless 7.x today and give it a shot.

Think I will try the OC'd kernel too and might have a play with some of the scripts etc. if i get time.

-keh_tolo
[HTC Desire C] whoamigriffiths:
In all honesty speed wise theres no difference in my eyes between all the major roms .

Pick which rom appeals to you , oc it with the kernel that works best with your rom and then strip the guts out of the rom after installation . Thats delete all the crap that comes on these phones.

Then you will have a fast rom

IF you enjoy listening to music then imho Revolution> Nameless by quite a margin IF you install Kingbeatz . As Kingbeatz > all those awful beats mods that are on nameless .

If you do follow my suggested route delete Apollo music player and use your favourite one as it can be quite buggy. Just be sure to try Apollo first to get an indication of the sq that is achievable . Then try your fav player and see if Kingbeatz actually works with it .

Just ask in the thread and I'll hepl if I can or Russ will otherwise .

Hope this helps

all the best

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tommolo:
Hello everyone, a friend of mine made me notice that predictive text does not work on my stock keyboard. The phone is clean, no root, no rom, everything's stock (4.2.2).

The option in the keyboard settings is checked, but when I write a word and then I insert a space, there is no word suggestion on the top of the keyboard. Automatic correction when I'm writing a word works fine, predictive text doesn't.

Is there something I can do?

Do not say to install swiftkey or any other keyboard, I love the stock one and I just wanted to know why predictive text doesn't work, thanks :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JamesPumaEnjoi:

After successful repair, No Network/ No service

I followed the first method and recovered a bricked P1000 docomo

But No network/service

Any ideas ?
[Galaxy Tab General] geno93n0:
You'll need to modify it further to get it to work with other providers. I'm personally not sure if it's a hardware or a software hack, because I paid someone to unlock my Tab back when I didn't know jack **** about modding. If it was already unlocked prior to being bricked, try to flash a new ROM over it. Either way, please hit back if you find the answer so I can add it to the FAQ section.
[Galaxy Tab General] shawn5569:
Hi! I just got the SC-01C & it was already loaded with a custom ICS firmware. Would it be ok to flash another custom firmware DIRECTLY? or Do I still need to flash the GB first?

"Hi im a noob and i hate myself"

finally found a thread that that covers japanese p1000.

I have a one it was given to me and still on android froyo 2.2 it is been unlocked by software and i don't know if its been rooted or not.

for the past days i've been looking over the net for this particular device to be upgrade to the latest jellybean rom.this will be very helpful for me since i dont know anything about flashing. been reading threads over and over bec i dont want to brick this device for i use it as a secondary phone

Will flashing to the original docomo GB 2.3... stock firmware make the tab in an locked state again? and is the new rom like the cyanogenmod 10.1 or 10.2 have a built in unlock?
[Galaxy Tab General] geno93n0:
No, 2,3 has an unlocked bootloader. Just follow the guide carefully step by step and you should be fine.
[Galaxy Tab General] joevinz:
ok that's good to know, i'll prep up first before having a go. just be patient with me pls. bec from time to time i'll be asking you alot if i mess up. :rolleyes:. thank in advance. thank button has been used.:good:

Help I think I am bricked

I have a sc-01c bought in japan...I tried flashing and now all i get is the docomo screen...I think i may have deleted everything on the tab...I can get into dl mode but whether flashing with odin or heimdall i get errors...Is there a way to wipe totally and reinstall from scratch....

What are you Trying to do? and what errors?
[Galaxy Tab General] WILLIEFRANCE:
SC-01C

I am trying to install the stock rom using odin. I flash the pit then reboot go back to dl mode and flash the tar(stock) i think i hosed the device...Odin says it passed and it reset...but all i get is docommo screen then after the samsung galaxy screen and it keeps blinking ever few minutes like it cant reboot...I ALSO tried flashing the newer Stock 2.3? and the same issue...

I think I may have mucked up the software but can get into DL mode...any ideas?

I followed the directions but still no joy....Perhaps I am dense...

But basically

Flash pit

reboot

Flash stock

Blinking samsung

Odin says reset and no errors...
[Galaxy Tab General] geno93n0:
This happened to me as well, it's why I wrote this guide. Try the Overcome method that I posted in the guide, or search for it in this forum. Also, are you using the stock Japanese GB ROM or just a normal stock ROM? You need to use the stock Japanese Gingerbread ROM. I provided links in the guide.

Don't flash them all at once. Look at the Overcome guide carefully.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smohanv:
I preordered this phone and waited a call from the network. Very much excited and had a call from 3 UK that my handset is ready for collection on 28th. Had been to stores to collect. I went around 9.30am still no sight of anyone other than me. I was the first one to collect the device from that stores. Collected both Free headphones and device. Could not even wait to open the device.

I explored the device and upset with disappointments. There are plenty of review hence I don't want to repeat/reproduce the same. I am just sharing my views,

1. Screen resolution is not as dreamt. I feel Nexus 4 IPS screen is far better than this Sony screen resolution.

2. Poor ergonomics. Soft keyboard locates nearly to the centre of the screen taking and soft keys are taking too much of display real estate.

3. Smudges and finger prints on the screen and not easy to get rid of by just wiping. It reminds me of the iPhone 3G. I doubt whether it has oleophobic screen. The same is the case on both front and back sides.

4. Network phones (contract phones) has no unlockable bootloader and controls our freedom from rooting.

5. Sharp corners (unlike S3 or Nexus 4) and looks big.

Because of many reasons including the above I used this device only for a day and replaced with Nexus 4. Very happy with Nexus 4 with compromise of limited onboard memory (16gb)

Has anyone feel the same?
