[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjoeltan:
Any phone is better than an iPhone.

Just kidding, but seriously. don't get me wrong, iPhones are good phones, they really are. People get them cause they like them, I get androids because I like them. Spec wise, Nexus 4 blows iPhones away. IMO, Nexus 4's are way better than any of the iPhones out right now. I talked to my friends who went from iPhones to Androids, and they said the only difficulty they had was getting used to how the OS is. iPhones are simple, and straight forward. Theres not much you can change about an iPhone unless you jailbreak it. Androids are customizable right out of the box.Only problem you MIGHT face is getting used to android.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matus201:
@mrjoeltan: I agree with you, just want to add: I feel that android, starting jelly bean, doesn't require any customization. Let me explain.

For the longest time, people compared android to iOS this way: iOS you can't customize, but it works pretty amazingly right out of the box. Android, on the other hand, can be customized to incredible levels; however, right out of the box it is not a great experience. And up till jelly bean, I agreed with this claim.

What I think changed in the last half year is that now android (jelly bean, so Nexus 4 for sure) is as amazing out of the box as iOS, with the added ability to customize the sh*t out of it if you want to.

To not be completely off topic:

There will be very few things you need to "learn" during transition. I think the largest one is the way system handles settings of notifications and alerts: b/c iOS uses only its own push notifications, all sound settings for all apps are done in the "settings" app. Android is a bit different- the apps keep a service running in background for themselves, and so you have to edit sound/alert settings in the apps themselves. The reward for this is that apps can have more advanced notifications with popup menus, repeated alerts etc. They will all appear in your notification drawer, but they can do more.

Music is simple drag-and-drop.

Other difference is handling of files. PDFs will first download, only then you can click on them to view them. They will be stored in the "Download" folder, accessible either via the "Downloads" app or via file manager of your choice (I recommend installing one).

If you have more apps that allow opening some file (ie, you have Adobe Reader and the built-in quickoffice viewer), when you click on a PDF (or some other supported file, even link), you will have a window allowing you to choose what program should open the given file. (don't worry, you can set defaults and not worry about it again)

I suggest you set all google maps links to default to the google maps app, not the browser. Similarly, set all youtube links to go to the youtube app, not the browser.

Hope I helped!

Welcome to the world of Android. You will really enjoy the Nexus 4. The phone is smooth as butter and the customization is fantastic. I actually replaced the standard launcher with Nova Prime launcher as it offers even more customization than the standard launcher.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImperatorShade:
You wont regret buying and android device like the nexus 4.

IMO android is much more flexible customisable and powerful than iOS. The iOS is soo God darn easy to use because there isn't much to do in it. It has a homescreen and... Well that's pretty much it!

But android 4.0+ combines ease of use and great functionality. Once you switch to android and start using all of its features, you'll never go back.

Oh and BTW, I think the Nexus 4 looks damn sexy, looks better than an iPhone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qocarekeri:
There was an adjustment period for him - how do I get X, where can I find apps, where is X setting.

He was a little pouty at the beginning of the process, but after a month or so, he's up and running and very happy. The main thing that he missed was a collection settings that covered all apps.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wngmv:
Yeah I can see how that could be a problem. However I went the other way (Android to an iPad) and was greatly dissatisfied with the super easy and noob setting of iOS.

On topic, I would suggest OP to use the phone for a couple months, before venturing into any customization options (rooting, kernels, ROMs, launchers etc). Getting used to Android could take you a while but once you get used to it your production will be greatly improved.

Good luck with it all, you'll love it! Let us know if you need any help. :thumbup:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Yeah, I used an iPad recently and I actually found it very counter-intuitive having all of the individual app settings under the general settings app. I wanted to sign out of the email app for example but I genuinely could not find a way to do it from within the app itself, and ended up having to go to settings then manage accounts or something similar. In Android I just hit menu in any app I'm using and I can be certain that there will be some sort of settings or options button, which to me seems much more logical since if I want to change an app setting the likelihood is that I'm using that app already. Obviously the opposite will apply for users moving from iOS to Android, but I think I'm just so used to Android now that iOS simply doesn't work for me.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daltonyx:
I got into making applications and such on android recently, and decided to try my hand at starting from an AOSP base and building it up. At this point I got it to compile correctly, I can flash it through CWM, everything works fine. But as soon as it boots, it gives me a flash of purple on the bottom half of the screen on my Nexus 7 with two androids. Only for a split second, then it just stays at a black screen. I don't know why it's doing this, but it's starting to irritate me. I've poured all of my time for the past month into this, and I can't even get it to boot. Even directly from AOSP source with no modifications, I get a black screen. When it's all flashed and I press 'Reboot device' in CWM, I get a warning about disabling stock recovery flash, just in case it tries to wipe CWM, if that helps at all. I can't get a logcat on account of it not booting, though I wish I could. I just need some help before I lose my mind! I really want to develop ROMs and give back to XDA like it gave to me so many times, as well as try to gain some credit in the community and not be such a noob. Somebody please help me!

It's a Nexus 7 Wi-Fi only, (Grouper) sold with 4.1.2.

I'm using CWM touch v6.0.2.8

I'm using the OEM cable for transferring and everything!

On a side note, I'm on Ubuntu 12.10, I set everything up exactly how it says on the Google site to start AOSP builds,

I just don't know what's wrong. Any help at all would be appreciated!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Did you download the proprietary binaries for the Nexus 7 WiFi and include those in your build? If not I would recommend downloading those binaries for your device as they include drivers to make the touchscreen, orientation sensors, Wifi, Bluetooth, and other components work properly. Without these the screen will display a black screen like you mentioned on boot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daltonyx:
no, how exactly would I include those? Like where would I put them? I'm still relatively new to anything besides APKs. Lol. Thank you for the response!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
Download the binaries, then place them in the directory you put your AOSP source code in, then extract the binaries using the shell script provided (The binaries you downloaded is the shell script) which should extract them to your vendor folder once you have extracted all the binaries to your vendor folder try another build.

[HTC Droid DNA] menndiary:
Is it possible to turn Droid DNA and other variants like X920d,X920e into Tablet Mode?

I just modify the value of DPI in the config.prop ( changing it to 160 )

but after rebooting, the devices showed many error messages and force closing the HTC Sense.
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
change back to original value as more needs to be change then just build prop maybe flash hatkas 320 dpi and turn device sideways and there you go tablet mode

---------- Post added at 08:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 PM ----------

oh and somethings will break like they already have if you try to change values lol the dna was made for 480 dpi. oh did your play store break theres a thread in q and a for a quick fix on that
[General Questions and Answers] hawkm:
I looked around at the other threads and it seems to me that you can't keep your unlimited data unless you buy the phone at full price. (someone please prove this wrong.)

But, is there anything stopping somebody to lets say upgrade a tiered data line with the new phone and then switching the phones with mine?

My sister has a 4GB plan and I want to get the S4, One, or the Note 2. I have the GNex and i planned on giving her that phone after I upgraded, and since you can grab any upgrade and use it at any time.

(TL:DR Version)

Is it possible to upgrade her (Line 1) to the phone I (Line 2) want and switch line 1's new phone to line 2 and put line 2's old phone onto line 1?

Im usually pretty good about figuring these things out for myself, but I've hit a dead end on this one. Im trying to find out how to modify the current touchwiz for 4.1.2 or 4.2 for use with 160dpi.

You can change dpi settings then use xposed app to set touch wiz stuff to 240 so that everything will run correctly. Browser will also force close if not at 240

I'm running the latest XenonHD ROM (4.2.2) and I have a very weird glitch. When I hit the recent apps button for the first time after boot, it functions properly. Any time after that, the same animation that played the first time, plays every time, no matter which app I am coming from. Hopefully my screenshot clarifys what I mean. Has anyone else had this issue? If so, did you fix it and how? Thanks :)

It depends which ROM you're on, on XenonHD you just switch the 3rd nav button from recents to GB style, in ROM settings under Navbar. Then change the icon because the GB one is ugly ;)
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Gil:
Hi Guys,

I thought I would let you know of a harmless yet very annoying bug on the O2 Network. If you are currently running Radio Shack version 4.21.00 you may find yourself receiving dozens of blank SMS messages. AS I did… 47 to be over the weekend to be precise.

I called O2 on Sunday and there is some kind of intermittent problem with the Radio Shack version and reporting to the network. The phone is paged with an SMS by O2 to see if a voice mail can be delivered or the phone is on. This SMS should not be seen. However it is.

O2 said replying with the word ‘stop’ should stop it however this will not work as the number does not exist, it is the message centre.

I finally got O2 to fix the problem by calling them (that only took 2 hours :evil: ). O2 are currently looking to release a new version of the software to resolve this. They also mentioned a slight problem with Signal too. O2 said that they were going to call me today or tomorrow with more information about this.

If anyone else has had this problem or similar can you let me know :?: .

Gil.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] THE PROPHETOR!:
hey....

i was just wondering, would u advice in not upgrading to v.421 radio stack at all?

the reason i ask is beacuse i have version v.420 and i am/was going to upgrade via the o2 website....

would you suggest upgrading or not....

what difference does it make?

thanks

jay
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Ken_xda:
Dear,

I also have upgraded my radio stack from v4.20 to v4.21. It works pretty well so far (anyway, I am in Thailand). I think there is nothing wrong with the upgrade, your local operator might be responsible for this

Regards
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Gil:
I would say only upgrade the radio shack if you are doing so to resolve a specific issue or bug.

The problem with blank messages is just annoying and as long as you keep your phone off/on silent over night it is not a problem. Since I spoke to O2 I have only got one blank message.

I upgraded as I had problems with signal strength. BTW, this is still not resolved :evil:

If you have a reason to upgrade then do so…

Gil…
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kris7272:
I have such a question! use Omega since I Note 2 and probably the version v11 when I'm in the home network while connected to mobile data appears in the notification H + or 3G, but when I'm roaming does not appear in the notification no. Only the arrow on the range.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] listsubscriber:
I've used CDMA Workshop to update my PRL using all the different PRLs posted on this site, from 00001 - 56xxx. I seemed to get the best results with 11119 last billing cycle. I roamed over 31GB but no letter from Sprint. So I was going to continue to take advantage of the speeds until they warn me.

However, when I tried yesterday, I get very slow speeds with all the PRLs and my Sprint data usage page always shows Sprint 3g & Sprint 4g numbers increasing, but not Sprint 3g roaming usage. What's weird is the phone NEVER connects to LTE service so how is my 4g usage amount increasing? I know some of the PRLs listed would not show the roaming indicator although I was indeed roaming. But the Sprint usage page only shows Sprint usage increasing.

Anyways, when I flash 11119 or any other PRL from the XDA site, do I also need to set the Roam Only option in Settings -> Mobile Data -> Roaming (MeanBean ROM & I'm not opposed to switching ROMs if that's the issue)? My current Sprint PRL via Update PRL is 24012. Should I just keep the Sprint PRL and set the Roam Only option for Mobile Data? I tried it briefly and it switches my connection to 1x. Will 1x still count as 3G roaming? It's slow as heck so I can't imagine 1x data usage pushing my usage numbers up very high.

Only my 2nd post so forgive me if I posted in the wrong area, asked stupid questions, etc. Blast me and I'll get it all right the next time ... I promise!!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jspsuperman:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
Technically Sprint CAN charge .25$ per megabyte over 300mb usage of off-network roaming, by the way ;) That would be quite the bill you'd have there. Sprint is tricky and unpredictable in most cases. I'd be careful. Just my .25$. Lol.

Exactly. It's a risky business. Cheaper to ETF and switch carriers for sure.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ekz13:
oh I understand that but 1.5gb isn't that much in the grand scheme, I would think most people here can hit that with or without a vzn prl, but its a far cry from 100gb
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] maxpower7:
There may be a provision that Sprint *can* charge you extra for roaming, but I've never heard of it actually happening to anyone in practice. It seems to be standard procedure that they just drop you after a certain amount of time of excessive roaming, and they give you advance notice that you're being dropped. I've actually seen a copy of the letter they send. In my personal experience, I've never been charged extra for roaming despite routinely going over their 300mb cap.

Hi guys,

So I'm currently running AOKP 4.2.2, HBOOT 1.09, and have S-OFF. I know I need to be on stock Sense to do a SIM unlock. Can I just flash one of the Sense ROMs out there, and then restore my current phone from a backup, or do I have to do a full RUU with an unmodified AT&T OTA?. If it's the latter, will I lose S-OFF/Recovery or anything else important, or should I still just be able to restore from a backup. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
A Sense rom should be all you need.

A ruu will wipe your internal storage and recovery but not your sdcard.

Only way to lose s-off is to manually change it back.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Just flash a Sense custom ROM. SIM unlock, then you can go back to AOKP.

Hello,

I have a galaxy tab p1000 from Korea (SHW-M180S_REV14) working on android 2.3.6 with only English and Korean languages. I flashed it with the "ANDROID_2.3.6_GT-P1000_Bye_Breizh-project" rom (for french). Now, the tab is not detected by the pc (drivers installed), the "download mode" is impossible, the screen is always black and the rear flash led blinks when power on (alone or with another button, volume + or volume -). When the tab is connected to usb port or to the sector, only that led lights, nothing on the screen.

I removed the battery, nothing;

i left it for discharging for 3 to 4 days, nothing, it hadn't dischrged (the led still blinking when power on held);

i charged it for all a night, nothing, only that led blinking during the charge.

i tried the "ModeDetect USBID Detector", device not found, the led continue blinking even when the battery is removed (with tab connected to usb).
