AW: new wireless charger

This is exactly what I want. I want a charger that is not flat, because I want to use the N4 as a night clock. The only other one is the original N4 orb with its sliding issue.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
No sliding issues here with my orb. But before the orb, I did the DIY portrait charger using the LG wireless charger and a stand made for tablets.:good:

Just so I have this straight..

We have to first off root the tablet with the proper said zip file from a pc. Once rooted.. a custom recovery must be installed.. Once the recovery of choice is installed.. we then need to flash one of many choices of an un locked bootloader? Will the V8 bootloader be good enough to flash ICS and JB roms? I would prefer to root, unlock only once.. and be able to try a few roms without changing too much stuff.. will that be possible? I cant seem to find a central located thread on all the steps to take one after another.. it seems to be in segments scattered around. I just dont want a brick, but have rooted my sIII and my A100 so I should be able to do this.. I think I might have the right idea going here.. someone feel free to throw in any advice or good threads to read.. ;) My A500 should be here in a few days..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcrappants:
so i had a s1 vibrant 2 years ago. got ascreen protector, a case, rooted, rommed, kerneled, changed some settings, etc.

i havent been in the scene for a while now, and i am wondering what a new galaxy s3 user should do? same things?

1. does this need a screen protector

2. is a phone case a good idea?

3. WTF IS UP WITH THIS BATTERY? charged, then unplugged, went to bed and overnight 7 hrs dropped to 40%. i literally did nothing. gps was off too. ???

4. is stock any good?

5. what are the top roms right now?

6. is there a top "kernel"

7. any must have apps like the s1 had? like titanium, etc

8. any other comments? thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derf8966:
If you used your upgrade you should return it before your 14-30 days are up because the Samsung galaxy s4 release is right around the corner and if the rumors are correct this s4 will run laps around the s3 in every category.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drcrappants:
thanks for the tip! what is "upgrade" you refer to and well, are yousaying if i were to turn in i CANNOT have it rooted or etc? aka just stay put for now?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
to answer your questions, comments above.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mar10o:
Odp: new galaxy 3 user, what should i do first??

First root your device and do a backup of efs folder. Next you can flash what you want. Keep in mind that you can have device with VTU00M eMMC controler so kernels should have fix for brickbug.

So when I use the phone for web browsing or apps, sometimes it starts to get warm after a minute then get hot after, will my phone go black like others report and does your phone do this too? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Sounds like you have too much running and it's causing the heat issue. It should not get hot just surfing the web. Maybe if you played games for awhile but not just surfing the web. So see what you have running or what's raising the cpu level real high.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Grntrenchman:
Are you overclocked? What is your processor speed min/max, and governor?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6Eric:
How hot are we talking, do you mean? My phone will get warm when I play cpu intensive games but not for much else. The area around the camera is the only metal on it so that is where it all conducts through, the rest of the back is plastic so the phone would have to be melting hot for you to feel much through that and it would probably die before it got that hot. Like others said though, you might have a lot running in the background or if you overclocked then you might have gone too far with the overclocking.

I do not have proper root access from root checker but I am running a custom ROM. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I unlocked and rooted using wugs nexus root toolkit a while back
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevk60:
Have you granted root checker permissions with superuser or supersu? If you have superuser you should be rooted.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidPlatinum:
My reccomendation, the same happened for me after flashing SmoothROM, remove SuperSU completely, it has problems. It doesn't remove your root access, it sort of blocks it. SuperSU has some problems, so remove it, boot back up, install SuperUser instead, then, you should be good to go.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bigshotrob22:
So I'm pretty sure my emmc chip is dead, but I still should be able to boot off the sdcard right? I can boot to cwm and twrp but when I try to boot into cm10 with an sdcard I see the cyanoboot and nothing but a blank screen after that. Any help is much appreciated!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] digixmax:
All SD-based ROM implementations I am aware of still make use of emmc for (at the very least) the /cache partition, so they definitely would not run if your emmc is truly dead.

On the other hand, getting a blank screen after Cyanoboot does not necessarily mean your emmc is dead: some ROM builds take a good 2-3 minutes before their boot-animation comes into view replacing the blank screen; or, it could also be that your CM10 "image" is "defective" (I had this happen to me when I used a wrong version of boot.img (in the SDcard /boot partition) which was not intended for the particular ROM build I had). To eliminate the last possibility I'd suggest you burn a CM10 completely pre-made SDcard image from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013/02/18/cm10-1-jellybean-android-4-2-2-for-nook-tablet-0218/.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] bigshotrob22:
I used a prebuilt sd image, but not the one linked. I will give that one a shot but I am almost certain the EMMC chip is dead. When I do ls /dev/block NO mmcblk's are listed. I have tried almost all the "fixes" in the threads with no luck. Thanks for you input. Crossing my fingers on this SD.img
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] twodollaz:
I'm having the same trouble. I show partitions, but they are apparently invalid. sgdisk shows my GPT being corrupted, and no matter how I try to zap it or remove it, I cannot. It's as if that section of my internal storage is corrupted and cannot be altered.

I just want to be able to use the damn thing in some manner, but I can't get it to boot anything other than CWM and Adam's Ubuntu-based repart card.

This thing really sucks.

[Nexus 4 General] Fataldesain:
I have tried to convert 5 people which some had iPhones and rest Samsung and HTC phones. Now in every case I sold their old like 2011 phones and got them a nexus 4 and spending no more than 50 bucks tops to get a nexus 4 8gb. Almost every convert is a failure, most would prefer there old phone back. THIS IS INSANITY!!! now the I sheep I can somewhat understand but the Samsung and HTC just boggled the mind.

Now maybe I'm biased but I hate everything Samsung and HTC does software wise. Its like skinning windows I just don't see the need and why add more code on top and your not even a software company. Most buyers know nothing about android so does it really matter if android was just stock. Maybe work with Google on something's but these ui's just suck in my opinion. All I see it as a forced attempt to be different. Who is forcing this I don't know.

Now I know people don't want to take the time to learn and get used to their ways but something must be wrong ( definitely with those people ) with android. Sometimes I think its too advanced. We talk about isheep but a lot of them know how to use their phones well. Maybe this is why apple keeps iOS the same.

I bought a used nexus 4 for 240 the other day guy told me he couldn't sell it higher I was shocked. This is an unlocked phone and its cheap. People are going into these stores signing two year agreements on already over a year old phones.

Is Google afraid to educate people and push stock android forward. Tell people the truth you can do prepaid and get the same service and stop getting raped every month. All these other hardware makers need Google there really is no other os ( windows phone, yeah right ). Say what you will about apple they get there updates all at the same time and they know when the new iPhone is out. All this different ui stuff just confuses people.
[Nexus 4 General] altqq:
i recently tried to convert my gf's sister from iphone and failed miserably. She really hate the phone coz apparently she was having trouble with group text and the battery couldn't last her a whole day. I sat her down and reconfigure her phone as much as i can in addition to showing her all the cool things androids can do. All i get at the end of the day was: i still like my iphone better i think i am gonna use that instead of this phone.

i cried :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] txsizzler:
Used Nexus 4 phones around these parts go for a mint; often more than what the Play store sells them for! As far as converts, some folks are just really "hung up" on their current devices; whether it be with the operating system/their own set o apps (iOS), or they are caught up with the high specs/sensationalism of their current devices (S3, HTC One X, etc). Hard to say.
[Nexus 4 General] Fataldesain:
Yeah once upon a time I swore by blackberry until it came time to buy another phone and 4g was out. I said I'm not paying 200 bucks and sign a new agreement for this. Got a Samsung Galaxy 2 then one day rooted. Then ice cream sand which came loved that over crappy touchwiz. Then I learned and waited for Samsung to release new kernel and eventually realized that if I want stock android buy stock android. If I want updates some time in the same year buy a nexus. Gal nex then to 4. There is no better option for me, I wish I had choices but right now its one nexus a year.

So in a lot of ways I am just like an iPhone user.
[Nexus 4 General] djwyman:
I don't even try to convert people...I tell people about it but everyone is like "I never heard of it" or "but I want the galaxy s3" or some crap...hell even phone salesmen have never even heard of this phone in these parts...so I just say OK what ever keep your subpar phone or phone that your stuck with for 2 years I have a bad ass phone that that I didn't get suckered into for 2 years and paid the same price for...and it has a better processor with more ram and it gets updated software in a timely manner...though that's not much of a selling point for most people I know since they all ignore the updates any damn way.
[Nexus 4 General] Drachen808:
Hey, I say thank you to those types. If it wasn't for those people coming from iPhones I would not have been able to get 3 16gb nexus 4s and two charging orbs for 1000 flat. The average age of each phone? 4 days old.

[Nexus 4 General] dr.m0x:
If a phone is doing what a person needs it to then what reason is there for them to change to a new one?

Normal people will want to stick with what they want if it's working for them (to an extent, advertising will usually motivate then to "upgrade"). If you try and convert then from iPhone to Nexus or even TouchWiz to Nexus, Joe normal won't like having to go thru that learning curve of figuring out a new phone ui again.

It's just how it is. Joe normal just wants to text, make calls, receive emails and watch porn on their phone. They don't give two hoots if another phone opens apps 0.5s faster or not.

Stop trying to convert people. It's great you enjoy your Nexus 4. It doesn't mean everyone else has to.

[Nexus 4 General] more2come:
You gotta hand it to Apple that iOS is simple, colorful and intuitive. It's like being locked up in a golden cage and Apple decides what you are going to be fed, but still it's very simple to handle.

Samsung and HTC are trying to accomplish the same, their interface is a more colorful and simple approach to the Android experience. Not everyone likes the stock Android look! There's an enormous difference between the unexerienced and the advanced user!
[Nexus 4 General] votdfak:
I say, why bother? Coming from iPhone2g,4,4s,HOX, I love Nexus 4 the most. Android matured, it's on par with iOS and in many aspects bests it. So why bother and try to convert people. Let 'em be & just enjoy yourself. That's the way I see it.
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
Still the worst encounter I ever had was with an iPhone user. Me and 3 friends were just having a drink, me being the only android users the rest iPhone. So without the intention of bringing any os war up I simply said, arrgh I need a screen protector, (HTC one x back then) getting a crap load of scratches.....

Here is how it continued:

Idiot1: omg get iPhone its the best

Me: I'm happy with android its just scratches

Idiot2: man get iPhone they have best screens ever, they don't scratch, here look no scratch..

Me: *thinking: what an idiot we both have Corning gorilla glass*

Third guy was talking about how epic its features are.

In this whole conversation however, I remained calm and didn't mention anything about either phones. Cause alone the argument they had shows they have not the slightest clue about anything , not even hardware wise. They are loyal to apple and whatever they release is god sent. So there was really nothing I wanted to say. Not that I care what phone they are using, just people with no clue saying things they have no idea about

Edit: idiot2 broke up with his gf just cause she replied to s guy who asked her a question. Lolol
[Nexus 4 General] icecicle:
i miss some of the sense widgets but thats all i miss and only cause they polish them up a little better and it doesn't look bare but it's honestly no where near enough for me to consider buying that HTC One " " especially with that whole blink feed crap (personally i hate the tiled view) but point of the post when the N4 first came out I got one for a iSheep and to this day he is way happier with it. people who are cool with going outside of their comfort zone and aren't scared to try new things will see it for what it is while people who don't want change will call out the negatives and run to their old phones again . . . ..

i really don't get why people liked their old androids better than the N4 though that does boggle my mizind
[Nexus 4 General] ryan stewart:
I was pissed because I saw some 65 year old dude at Chick-fil-a using a Nexus 4 and I couldn't have one. Once the supply chain got fixed and I had one of my own on stupid cheap pre-paid I was no longer mad.

I don't care about people using other phones as long as it doesn't prevent me from using mine, that is their prerogative. Ill tell them about my setup though, a bit of an evangelist, and they will still willingly sign up with AT&T to be bent-over on a plan so they can save $100 on a phone. Not my problem though, I dont pay their phone bill either.

Originally I did too but then HD Widgets came along (now I only use the lock screen widget though) and Google added a ton to vanilla in ICS.
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
Some people it's not about the phone, it's about what the phone says.

They won't buy a Nexus because they have never heard of Nexus and don't know about the image it portrays.

They buy a Samsung because it's not an iPhone, they buy an iPhone because iPhones are what the hipsters have etc etc.
[Nexus 4 General] monte666:
I think it's funny hearing iPhone people talk about features android has had since ICS like it's a brand new thing because it just appeared on iOS.
[Nexus 4 General] pandeus:
its ultimately about uniformity. all apple devices have the same layout, feel and functionality. all android devices arebso different that no one knows whats going on. if all android devices were offered as stock there would be no real problems. you can really blame second hand companies for jizzing up the layout and trying to be "innovative." best thing though is that apple is no longer the leader in mobiles. theyre playing catch up to android, because even with all the differences other companies are offering better specs at better prices faster than apple can keep up with, which makes me happy
[Nexus 4 General] pak-stars:
why convert people to nexus? worry about your own problems
[Nexus 4 General] qazibasit:
I tried to aware people but my threads are beig closed. N4 is the most failed phone and google hid it nehind a cheap price tag.

But cheap price tag doesnt mean that the device will always help u. In this fast tech age i am using my note for over a year now. Even today i am happy with my phone which has tasted 3 major android flavors.

This is what i call a fururistic hardware and vendors dedication in making it better and better.
[Nexus 4 General] gotzaDroid:
The problem is that you're trying to help people that don't want it. People have got to want to try something different to enjoy something different. Ramming it down someone's throat will rarely get that person to like it.

I would have hated android when I was still into iOS because I was happy with iOS. It wasn't until I was ready for a change that I was open to android and I went with a HTC vivid because it was cheap and still at&t's flagship LTE phone at the time. Sense overall sucked, but the widgets were great. When I threw on an aosp ROM on the phone, I didn't like it at first as I didn't have access to those widgets anymore. It wasn't until I explored the play store that I found good replacements and was happier with aosp. That then made my nexus decision easy.

So to pull someone out of what they like before they are willing to try something different is a recipe for disaster.
[Nexus 4 General] ryan stewart:
No, those are being closed because you are an idiotic troll.

I had HTC desire as my first android phone then sgs2 then sgs3 now I use 16gb nexus 4. my only disappoint is that I can feel that sgs3 was faster in apps especially in games. the problem is about diversity in phones and its differences. you know a iPhone owner knows that its the as everybody's iPhone but if you have an android it is same as old Nokia like having 6110 or 3310. so if you r not geek and if you used iPhone before you will not feel comfortable.
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
HTC tries to mislead its customers by saying that unlocking the bootloader will void all warranty, this is a blatent lie that will not hold up. Rooting is not illegal and unless HTC can prove that the custom software caused whatever broke the phone they have to fix it under warranty. Samsung and Nexus devices can be rooted and put back to stock. The bootloader of an HTC will say Relocked instead of Unlocked. I`am through with HTC personaly. Though the One is a beautiful device i`am afraid that will not save them, they are beeing beaten to death by Samsung.
