If you don´t have Wifi , then you can´t have tethering .....

Maybe , your Broadcom Chip got broken , so that´s why you can´t get wifi...

If heating your Broadcom chip can´t turns back on your wifi then you need to replace your Flex Ribbon... because maybe your Chip passed away.

that´s only the 2 solutions to wifi hardware problems.
[HTC Sensation] Tantrumxp:
I have the same issue. i took it to the store and they didnt find anything physically wrong with it. what else can it be?

[Nexus 4 General] michael_ta315:
Hi guys, as you guys all know, those 3 phones I mentioned all have IPS technology for the display. :p

And as far as I know, the nexus 4 screen sensitivity isn't that great compare to other devices such as my Nexus 10. I could use the back of my finger, which is the nail, to navigate the screen while on the nexus 4, I have to really "touch" the screen. what that means is when I touch it light enough that I can feel the screen, the nexus 4 still won't recognize it until i press it a bit further. :silly:

I've been told this is related to the hardware of the IPS itself? :silly: but i'm not so sure since there's a mod to increase screen responsiveness. I tried it and it works, but the delayed when booting really bugged me :(.

So anyone with an Optimus G or an iPhone 5? how is the screen sensitive to you guys? :confused: can you touch the screen light enough that you can feel the screen but the Nexus won't feel your finger? :confused:

If it's more responsive then can we somehow pull the touch driver from the Optimus G to our Nexus 4? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] ross1998:
I have Iphone 5 and I never have to put any pressure on the screen for it to work. I barley tap the screen... Even though I havent had a nexus 4, I've had galaxy s3 and I can say iphone 5 screen is more sensitive than s3 screen
[Nexus 4 General] Thin_Bezel:

[Nexus 4 General] Overdose1986:

[Nexus 4 General] michael_ta315:
yea but they use a different technology. i believe it's usual LCD. unlike our nexus which has IPS technology.

hmm.. well that's even more interesting because s3 uses super-amoled. which I assumed to be more sensitive since my HTC one S is more sensitive than my nexus.. and if iphone 5 screen is really sensitive with IPS how come our nexus 4 sensitivity is so bad? :( really hope google would fix this..
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
The display technology doesn't matter here. It's the digitizer that makes the difference.

From my experience, when you just tap the screen on the nexus 4, you have to press quite "hard" to get it to register the touch.

If you start swiping around, even the lightest pressure will be enough. Even the fingernail works if you do it that way.
[Nexus 4 General] michael_ta315:
did you try it on yours? mine doesn't respond to my fingernail lol :silly: so is there any differences in sensitivity between Optimus G and Nexus 4? do they use different digitizer then? :confused: both are manufactured by LG and very similar in terms of hardware wise :rolleyes: Any Optimus G owner out there? or had a hands on experiences with Optimus G? :p
[Nexus 4 General] mtbgus:
My nexus 4 is very sensitive to touch, I barely need to touch the screen (just float over it) and can use it with the back of my fingers (fingernails). It's been much more sensitive to touch than my Galaxy Nexus ever was.

My N4 is one of the latest batch, maybe improved? I don't know but it's been faultless so far. Also find the screen has nice rich colours almost on a par with the GN, haven't noticed any washed out effect like some state, same goes to my friend who bought one at the same time (1 month ago).

I'm on unrooted stock btw, tried a few custom roms, but find stock better for me (at the moment).
[Nexus 4 General] michael_ta315:
that's great to hear :p me and my GF bought the nexus 4 right after new year. Both are about 1 month away from each other too. and still the same below par sensitivity. hmm.. maybe google did fixed it hardware wise? :eek: if so i really want to sent my phone back lol.. :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] hcazzz:
I think custom kernels improves the sensitivity of the screen
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
I highly doubt it. I got one of the newer models (301k) and my screen sensitivity is awful. Yes if you press it normally most of the time it will work but if you a very light it isn't sensitive at all not compared to my one s. That being said I flashed the old touch driver back (e015) and my nexus 4 is as sensitive as an iphone now. Had the driver for about 2 weeks and I would never go back to the current touch driver that comes with 4.2.2 (e027) Hopefully google fix this but I'm doubtful. The people that say they have amazing sensitivity imo are speaking out of their backsides. They haven't made the devices any different, the screen sensitivity is a SOFTWARE issue and not a hardware issue. This is a link to old touch driver thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2163924 It's like a different device!
[Nexus 4 General] vickpick:
are you sure its not ur knuckle and just the finger nail? It should, according to design, not register hard things such as finger nails. (unless you have keratin deficiency in which case ur nails might be as soft as skin)
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
His nexus probably grows wings and flies when he puts it into airplane mode as well. People exaggerate so much sometimes!
[Nexus 4 General] twowheeler:
It's just fine on my nexus to be honest. Don't know what everybody is on about
[Nexus 4 General] Lucke:
as far as i know, there isn't a single touchscreen device on the market (past or present) that will register the fingernail itself.

that said, my Nex4 is from the second batch and is quite sensitive to the touch. some of the touch responsiveness issues could be due to a screen protector too.
[Nexus 4 General] Ieatnoobs:
The lumia 920 does.
[Nexus 4 General] danfalcas:
Mine does!!! Maybe urs is defective.

But also there are ways to improve responsiveness!
[Nexus 4 General] m4r0v3r:
if i remember rightly finger nails only work on resisitive screens
[Nexus 4 General] Lucke:
are you sure? last time i checked it didn't work with just the fingernail (no skin). that would be like using an old stylus from a windows phone 5.5/6 device (resistive screen) on a capacitive screen. i highly doubt that works.
[Nexus 4 General] desynch-:
Funny thing that I was so disturbed about was how badly insensitive the nexus 4 was compared to my i9300 (gs3). I could use my fingernail and the lightest touch to swipe the screen with the s3. So these things are possible.

I also flashed the kernel months ago and it improved things slightly, but nowhere near what I'm used to. Only problem with that is how much longer it takes to boot and be responsive. Same with TWRP...you have to wait a while to use the device.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] aakash_scsa_hellyeah:
Hello,

I have some malfunctioning in WiFi of My Xperia J. It constantly just tries to turn itself on, with no success. I'm quite positive that My WiFi is broken due to hardware problems (water damage) as I have tried flashing several ROMs with no positive results in order to try to fix it. I've even tried unrooting and returning back to stock.

What I was wondering is it possible to permanently disable WiFi on the SONY XPERIA J so that I can try to get around this issue?

Thanks in advance because I now people over here are genius.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextelbuddy:
I know its apples to oranges but hear me out.

I have nexus 4 and Nexus 7 both on 4.2.2 and both on the latest Motley kernels. Both are rooted and that's it. neither is over clocked and both have the same exact apps installed sans tablet apps on the N4 so my N4 has less apps installed than my N7.

i charge both devices over night. both devices are set to use WIFI and WIFI is set to ALWAYS ON even during SLEEP.

i unplug both devices and leave the N7 at home.

take th N4 to work.

I dont touch the N4 at all on my 15 min drive to work.

i get to work pull it out and it shows down to 98% already wtf? :mad:

my N7 i get home and it still shows 100% fully charged and i play with it browse XDA and after 15 min is still shows 100% :p

I took my N4 and flashed it back to stock 4.2.2 and stock kernel.. everythign stock. did not root it.

charged it back up to 100% and removed form charger.. i check the phone in 20 min and its down to 99% already and i havnt touched it..

whats going on?

i know the N7 and N4 are both different, different battery capacities and different chipsets but my N4 should not be dropping down from 100% in 20 min when I havent even touched it.

oh yea one last thing..

my N7 is set to sync everything..

my N4 i uncheck syncing on everything except GMAIL, CONTACTS and BROWSER and have NO widgets on any home screen.

so very frustrating...

I have better battery stats installed and i see nothing weird for wake locks or partial wake locks.. nothing more than a few seconds even and no weird apps showing as a battery hog.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noahk423:
You have to think, the N4 is running an extra radio, as well as a different CPU anyways, and its 2100 mAh, versus >4000 on the N7 just like you said, don't expect it to stay on 100% forever with WiFi and Data going and the N7 only having WiFi.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teambestyrandy:
While you're driving your 4g network is enabled which will drain your battery more. Your nexus 7 is always on wifi. Also your nexus 7 4375mAh battery whereas your nexus 4 has a 2100mAh battery which also makes your phone to lose juice faster.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azurael:
I would never expect similar standby times out of the two, given the modem and just over halfed battery capacity of the 4... But having said that, for regular browsing use, they provide surprisingly similar screen on time for me! I usually get 7-8 hours out of the 7 and 6-7 from the 4... Gaming splits them again though, I usually get less than three hours of 3D gaming from the 4 and more like five hours out of the 7. All in all, not a bad showing from either, Android battery life has finally reached what I would define as reasonable.

I have seen ten hours from my Nexus 7 where usage has predominantly been video playback, but that's an exceptional usage case which is obviously an optimal scenario for the LP core in Tegra 3.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextelbuddy:
I understand but my n4 dropping from 100 to 98% in 15 min with screen off directly off charger is ridiculous.

Right now its at 23% with battery showing 5 hours since unplugged and only 1.5 hours screen time. That's nuts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revamper:
You have to consider that while you're driving around with your phone in your pocket it is changing cell towers which uses the radio and consequently battery.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moe6:
1.5hours screen-on time means something is wrong. That being said 2% after a bit of driving isn't abnormal, and it's never going to be the same depending on where you drive where you live where you work etc reception wise, but 1.5hours of screen on @ 2x% battery totally is fubar'd.

Check your battery stats for wakelocks, find whatever naughty app it is you have that's doing it. Make sure Location History is off if you haven't already checked this!

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] HollandWGreen:
Hi I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy Mini Plus (gt-5570i) from Amazon and they said it supported 1900 mhz frequency for T-Mobile 3g. But due to it being the Czech version of the phone it will not connect via 3g (assuming because it's trying to find an 1800 mhz frequency instead). Is it possible to download a US baseband for the phone and install it via Odin? Or is the frequencies more determined by hardware rather than software? On the wiki it said that the phone supported all the frequencies so I was hoping that it might just be software?

Also if it is software, could you send me a link to the US baseband (or whatever I need) to resolve this?

Thanks!

[Nook Color General] nuuits:
Hello all, today I will be showing you how to speed up your Nook Color a bit... these methods should work for CM9/CM10/CM10.1/Paranoid Android/etc., but I personally found these out while running PA ICS. The apps you may need to make your phone faster are Ram Manager (Free OR Pro) and No Frills CPU Control (In the case that your ROM doesn't have overclocking in settings). Basically, using these "tweaks" (minus overclock, as whenever I flash a ROM the first thing I do is overclock it), I went from a painfully slow (as in, I was ready to go back to Gingerbread) device to a somewhat faster device. I've seen huge differences in launching games and apps especially, and opening to app drawer seems to be smoother also.

CPU Overclock

Either using No Frills CPU Control or the built-in overclock, set your max CPU speed to the highest on the list (not exceeding 1200, but it shouldn't show anything above that anyhow). Change your governor to either Ondemand or Performance (I personally use Ondemand and have no problems with it). Most of you are probably already overclocked though, so please don't look at me like I'm stupid.

Swap Space

Open up RAM Manager and there should be an option to change your swap space at the bottom. I changed mine to about 48 and am content with that, although I must add it may make your SD card's life shorter. This will increase your RAM, thus allowing you to have more apps open at once.

Force GPU rendering

Open Developer Options in your settings app and check "Force GPU Rendering"... I'm guessing this is one of the biggest factors to my tablet becoming smoother, as from research it helps lower end devices achieve a better framerate, although it may decrease your battery life. Also, I cannot guarantee every app will run great with this. I tested a game (Dynamite Jack) with this setting enabled and it wasn't too shabby at all! But yes, I can definitely see a difference in the overall speed of my Nook Color.

Please tell me how these work for you (:
[Nook Color General] rsanchez1:
I tried these settings, but unfortunately didn't perceive any performance improvement.
[Nook Color General] sledge2k:
Good call on RAM manager. Hadn't seen that before, its going on my NC and RAZR now :)
[Nook Color General] envygreen:
Can anyone tell me a good reason for that RAM Manager app to have the permissions it does? Location, Identity, and full network access?
[Nook Color General] meteorrock:
Does NOT work. All this app " no frills CPU" does is provide a GUI front end for the settings already found for our nook color using CM 10+ in its "performace" settings. Also this app does not provide over clocking above our set 1100 MHz. You will need a custom over clocking kernel for the encore for this. Check over on the CM 10 kernel thread n the development section.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] poor_red_neck:
This may be a repost, but if you don't feel like repeating... Don't lol.

I've been with my Note 2 for about 3 weeks now and this is truly one of the best "first experiences" with a mobile device I've had. I've been rocking a screen in my pocket since the old Windows "Palm top" days. Remember those Windows CE devices that looked like tiny laptops? I Even had a compact flash 56k modem (maybe 28.8?). Now that was the sh*t.

So yeah maybe some of the "first" mobile devices back then did blow me away, but man I freakin love this phone!

I picked up and played with my Evo3D and I just dont think I could ever go back. Holding a "normal" sized phone just feels inferior. Not to mention having the Spen. I "grew up" using a stylus so having it is just a huge bonus. Granted a good multitouch, capacitive touch screen is great and practically makes a stylus unnecessary. It's still great to have it when you want it.

So how about you? Can you go back to a 4.0-4.5 inch screen? Or are you a permanent convert?
