[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malavi:
What I think about this issue..... as I dont know what really causes it:

- It happens when changing orientation, most times instantly, but sometimes it "takes" 2-3 secs to get frozen"

- Dont know if it is related or not.... but it usually happens when using wifi (I mean, when playin through wifi or on g.earth)

- It is not related to any specific kernel/ROM, it also happens on stock (at least google earth procedure)

- Im aware if it is a HW issue, but I've tested my end even with Faux OC1.8 playing videos & games "heavly" and it doesnt seem to affect... it is just orientation related I think. :silly:

maybe someone expert could help us!

Thanks for votin!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malavi:
here are my logs:

here I attach my logcats to anyone who wanna take a look and maybe could bring some help :angel::fingers-crossed: there could be same issue but i post 2 logs as there are 2 ways of gettin frozen....

·[LogCat_Default_20130329172orientationfreeze)] Was playing Shadowgun DZ for about 45-50 mins, then hit "home" and ´´´´´´ it get frozen :crying:

.[LogCat_Default_201303291733(gkeep+gearth))] Then I rebooted and go to *GKeep, it hotboot, and then did google earth procedure.... had to reboot....

One thing I noticed in logs are:

So, could it be some kind of thermal throttin or what?¿ :confused:

*Gkeep issue: If I hav a google keep widget on lockscreen and press camera (to take a picture from google keep widget) then rotate and hotboot (thats strange as it "usually" get frozen and hav to press pwr&vol+, but it just hotboot and camera is not accesible unless :I reboot)

Thanks all!

hey mates! I've got some news.... after flashin stock 4.2.0 image (jop40c) it goes just perfect, did "g.earth test" and :good: had it for a few hours and then I installed OTA....

With 4.2.2 again I tried "gearth test" and .... freeze :crying:

How could it be possible?? maybe someone could help us ;)

So for now only "fix" its going back to 4.2.0 ... :(

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malavi:
any news¿?

Hey all! Had for almost a week stock 4.2 (JOP40c) and no problems related to "reboots/freeze" when leavin some games and I can know "lockscreen" when im horzontal (ie: in 4.2.2 if I open any app and rotate device, then press power to lock.... and it hotboot, losing all my unsaved work :( :( )

So for me (and other with "orientation" issue) seems that any update of JOP40C "break" something (maybe some drivers :confused: )

Most weird thing is.... why r only a "few" with this issue, I mean, does n4 could have different HW and thats why some drivers are messed up ?

PLEASE could any dev help :confused: ? Maybe theres only a couple of files that has to be pushed from JOP40C to newer releases?

For now Im going back to PA, as wih this STOCK 4.2 I have SOD (device woulndt wake up at mornin almost every day),a huge batt drain and I love custom ROMS :D

But plz I need some help, as I cant RMA for now, and most important thing: it seems to not be HW related, , so it is possible some kind of Software FIX

PD: If someone is "new" to thread I've already tried wipe/flash everything with no luck (just this stock JOP40C seems to be "free" of this orientation bug)

Here I post a video of someone else with this issue.... [YOUTUBE]InFDSozommI[/YOUTUBE]

Also saw a few ticks on google (this issue is affectin a lot of N10 and some GN.... ) so google must know our situation, but they didnt say nothing...

Thanks!

First lock I've experienced since owning the phone for months. Some sort of driver issue I guess.

"FIXED"

THANKS! :victory: :victory: truly appreciated :highfive:

Im goin to update OP with your post :D (tested on last PA 3.5)

Now we have to find which file is messin up our gpu drivers, because it has some kind of lag (as it did when was released, thats why google update ;) ) i dont have too much free time but ill try one by one to find which one is "buggy" ASAP ;)

File can be flash through recovery as any other mod/rom/kernel :D

Other thing we must do is to make google knows about this (wrong/bad gpu drivers for some N4), anyone knows how could we do it? (@ or something)

PD: Sorry for being late answering but i`ve been too busy :eek:

And again THANKS [MENTION=2680021]chenshaoju[/MENTION] for your time! :good:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malavi:
As I said I've tried libs one by one to find out wich one is causin that "bug"..... so after all I can identify 2 "wrong" files for us(that became "bad" on android 4.2.1&4.2.2::

- eglsubAndroid.so

- libEGL_adreno200.so

I made a zip with just this two files from 4.2.0 (JOP40C) , and it seems almost fixed and noticed a great "speed" upgrade (as with other zip we'll hav all 4.2.0 old drivers)

So please try it and report if it goes well :confused: :highfive:

PD: As I dont hav too much time I found this mornin that these are our "bad files" , been tryin other files last week and they seem ok..... what I wanna said is that I didnt test more than a day this "last" fix, so try and report! :D

PD2: Anyone knows how to send to Google this info ?... so they could totally fix it !

Drivers packs

So, i’ve made 4 update packs:

mako_CM10.1_RC2_default_GPU_drivers_update_signed. zip -- Default GPU drivers come with CM 10.1 RC2, which have the issues mentioned in the topic.

mako_Offical_4.2.0_GPU_drivers_update_signed.zip -- Official 4.2.0 GPU drivers (Sorry for the typo, it’s "Official",not "Offical") .

mako_fixed_GPU_drivers_update_signed.zip -- Lite patch, with only eglsubAndroid.so and libEGL_adreno200.so . (thanks malavi )

mako_mixed_GPU_drivers_update_signed.zip -- Using the alpha version of the GPU drivers (form pa_mako-3.55-19MAY2013-185039.zip), with eglsubAndroid.so and libEGL_adreno200.so replaced.

All the GPU drivers have been tested(except mako_CM10.1_RC2_default_GPU_drivers_update_signed.zip ) in Google Earth.

And I tested with 3DMark. I used a fan keep the phone cool, here are the results:

mako_Offical_4.2.0_GPU_drivers_update_signed.zip:

mako_mixed_GPU_drivers_update_signed.zip:

mako_fixed_GPU_drivers_update_signed.zip(flash CM10.1 RC2 default drivers first,then install it):

Of course, the 3DMark test maybe inaccurate, you can try it yourself. :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrej201:
give a reason why i should choose the htc one over the s4

things i dont care about

1 design i really dont care its not like im going to feel my phone and kiss it

2 camara i really dont care who has a better camera

what i care about is

1 power

2 battery

3 customization

so plz tell me why i should choose the htc one over the s4

i keep reading that the htc one is better but in what WAY
[Galaxy S 4 General] Livebyte:
If you care about power and battery, S4 is the way to go.

Customization, Nexus devices. They are simply unbeatable.

You will only want the One, if you really put design and materials as a priority especially the UI.
[Galaxy S 4 General] djbenny1:
based on what you have said you definitely should get the gs4

something else you should consider is the software - if you want to use all features, you are pretty much stuck with stock software on both phones - you need to decide which stock software you like more
[Galaxy S 4 General] johnk1973:
You want other people to tell you what to buy or do??

At least wait until they are both out, read the facts and make your own mind up :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 General] notsointeresting:
It looks like the Galaxy S IV will be your device then!

The HTC One is tailored to the more design attentive crowd. S IV isn't as pretty and lacks a couple features but the power is definitely there and Samsung will probably have more stable builds of AOSP based ROM's for customization
[Galaxy S 4 General] snapple232:
Why are Nexus devices more customizable? Can't any Android devices be rooted and loaded with custom roms?
[Galaxy S 4 General] msavic6:
Nexus devices are easier to root and unlock the bootloader, and updates are received directly from Google. Although those quick updates come with awful bugs.
[Galaxy S 4 General] miluardo:
Generally the most consumer popular phones will have the largest customizability, it's true that nexus devices are built for devs and are easy to root, but really.. none of the devices you've listed are hard to root.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Andrewtst:
In this case, S4 is for you.

But not everyone fancy on getting yesterday product, not everyone fancy Samsung follow Apple step, not everyone think design / material not important. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] BarryH_GEG:
Apparently, quite a few of them do. ;) It would be a lot easier to argue how awful Samsung's formula is if it weren't working so well. No matter what your personal feelings about Samsung or their products are, does anyone here think the SGS4 won't outsell the SGS3?

Samsung Galaxy S Sales Hit 100 Million

By Angela Moscaritolo January 14, 2013

Samsung on Monday announced a major milestone: global sales of its flagship Galaxy S smartphones have hit 100 million units since the first model made its debut in 2010.

The original Galaxy S smartphone, launched in June 2010, has sold some 24 million units to date, with 10 million purchased during the first seven months of launch, Samsung said. The follow-up Galaxy S II, launched in April 2011, reached the 10 million sales mark in just five months, and has logged sales of around 40 million units to date.

The fastest-selling device in the lineup, however, is the Galaxy S III. The uber-popular phone, unveiled this past May, achieved 20 million global sales in just 100 days, and has now passed the 40 million unit sales mark.
​
[Galaxy S 4 General] Andrewtst:
Galaxy S, S II & S III was total different design device.

S 4 is just recycle - that the main different here, also this year got more competitor, Xperia Z and HTC One ain't bad and direct compete with S 4.

Ya, S 4 probably still selling well not because it was great, because Samsung got money on marketing. Let said S 4 selling well, continuer S 5, S 6, S 7 and so on will be same/similar design. Is this what you all want? Definitely not for me. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] leyvatron:
If you only care about power and battery then get yourself any dual core phone with an extended battery pack. Save yourself a few hundred dollars.
[Galaxy S 4 General] simply dave:
Removable battery on the S4
[Galaxy S 4 General] johnk1973:
I don't understand why people are saying this, every single technology has been upgraded to the latest thing, or best available at the moment, CPU, memory, camera, screen, battery, added software, added sensors.

What the hell were people expecting? Something that Startrek would be proud of??

The only thing similar is the casing.

[Galaxy S 4 General] johnk1973:

[Galaxy S 4 General] Andrewtst:
Spec and Design run together, not either one.
[Galaxy S 4 General] riz157:
Compare the 2 together dude. If design, looks, feel, ui doesn't concern you then go for S4. However The battery life on htc is better then s3, hox, iPhone 5 but not quite as good as Note 2.
[Galaxy S 4 General] johnk1973:
Not necessarily, only if that's what you are looking for, a completely different phone.

Different people are looking for different things, some want design, some fastest CPU, some best camera (me!) , etc.

But hey, everyone is old enough to have their own opinion and wants, the which Is why this thread is so dumb.
[Galaxy S 4 General] DesertHawk:
Isn't CM dropping this phone for support
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dannyada1988:
Considering of the power and the battery, S4 is the better one.But when you decide to get a phone, there are many other thing you should consider to let you get satisfied with the bought phone, like appearance, speed,custom and others. Just check out more to get what you really want.
[Galaxy S 4 General] zetsumeikuro:
I like the way you think :highfive:.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jackclarck:
Galaxy S 4 General

i think based on you requirement s4 is best for you, because its customization and features are lot batter then htc, i just only wounder about the battery timing o f s4 is quite less then other phones.
[Galaxy S 4 General] SeventeenV:
While it's true that for pure hardware needs, the S4 would works for you, but don't think that interface doesn't come into play. I've been on my Xperia TX for a few months now and I still miss the interface on my old HTC Desire HD.

[Galaxy S 4 General] dethrat:
Don't feed the troll and close this thread
[Galaxy S 4 General] mrej201:
nobody is being a troll i just asked for a opinion
[Galaxy S 4 General] Puzzlegal:
A bunch of people have said that if you care about the battery, you should get the Samsung. But has anyone compared how long the battery lasts on both? I don't really care a lot about taking the battery out, but i care a great deal about how much I can do on the phone before I need to plug it in.

Oh, and has anyone compared signal strength/radios, yet? I want to stick with Sprint, and I'm often in places with poor reception (and often with no reception on T-Mobile and equally lousy reception on AT&T, in case you were wondering.) So I care a lot about whether I can get data, and some about whether I can get voice, in minimal-reception areas. I'm not even sure where to go to get that kind of review, so I'm asking here. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] zetsumeikuro:
Shhhh.. Good boy! You can has a cheezeburger.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bassmaster:
if you need power (batt & cpu) the SG S4 is the way to go. after i heard about the 2600mAh battary, i knew that's my next phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Thin_Bezel:

opinion questions, really???

why do you give so much to the opinion of the others if you want to buy a device then decide by yourself!!!

all 3 flaggs are good. sony htc and samsung. each one is in it´s own way especially.

i don´t like on htc when it lay down on table and you want to write something it wobbles back and forth.

changing akku is not so important for me but storage. i saw pictures from htc one and i am shocked how bad they are.

so htc is it not.

sony XZ is really nice, but a) glass on back b) i am thinking to open everytime the slot for headset is not comfortable

and the haptik in my small hands are not good. the display is outside really bad. the brightness is too low.

so if you asking to my opinion...

filter your own pro´s and con´s and decide by yourself...

i like samsungs devices much more. i´ve got the s2,GN,s3 and note 10.1 3g. it´s easy for me to decide´cause i like the

feauture´s for the health, i like the touchwhiz. don´t using s voice. the sensors are really great. and the balance are like the same as the other phones. i don´t know if i take the octa or the other one, that´s my problem. after presenting i decided to take the octacore cause batterylife. knowledge is the first one when the phone is on the shelves.
