Phone $400...

Otterbox $21...

No breaky phone...

PRICELESS.

$400 dollars is, in fact, quite a bit of money regardless of your net worth. If you think otherwise, then you really have no sense of what money is worth.
[Nexus 4 General] aloy99:
He dropped his phone knowing it was made of glass? No, he did not drop the phone on purpose. It was UNEXPECTED. Besides, using glass for backing is obviously a bad idea for durability , as shown by the iphone 4 and 4s.

He doesn't even hate the phone. Tell me, where did you infer from that he was 'raging'?

That's awfully arrogant and elitist.

There's people who work hard, go through university but thanks to lack of jobs in the economy they either go jobless or have to settle for a low-pay job.

There's people who aren't smart or gifted by nature, and work hard as they may they can't get good grades. They slog their guts out to make a living for themselves and their families.

And not everyone has a choice of what job/career they want. Maybe they're stuck with a job since they don't have the qualifications.

Yes, the nexus 4 is indeed cheap for its tier, but you made some sweeping statements that were uncalled for.
[Nexus 4 General] ZDeuce2:
+1

I own 2 businesses, and turn cars on the side, make damn good money doing it, and still hate tossing 400 dollars out the window, I'm so glad I'm not an asshat... :(

CADude $400 feeds a child in the developing world for how long?.. sorry to hear about your glass phone breaking, OP, but you should think about the real value of money next time you buy two of something you don't need just so you can show them off, or just for the hell of it..
[Nexus 4 General] Foxnov1990:
Wether the story is correct or not. I'm not gonna debate that.

But if you're unable to buy / replace the backplate just opt for a DBrand back cover (Carbon or Titanium look should work nicely)

It covers up the crack and makes it look better than ever before! (for only 9$, can't suffer from that ;))
[Nexus 4 General] Fataldesain:
I always hate these threads because it starts with ass who is shocked his phone broke when people have repeatedly said this is a fragile phone. Not only that but to use it without a case is just not that smart because this phone scratches very easy. And when you break it guess what its not cheap to fix, so all you caseless guys nobody cares. Even if you make it to the day to resell you will get less because your phone will be all marked up.

And why do people start saying what they can afford like its cool to buy the same phone twice I would be embarrassed admit that. I think its cool to say my phone and my gf phone were free because I bought over 10 nexus's and resold them at a higher price. I'll use a dumb phone for weeks because I'm not one of these gotta have it now guys.

When guys make these threads they should be ridiculed as they know better. An iPhone you can use ceaseless because its like 14 dollars to fix the glass when it breaks. This phone is not the case.
[Nexus 4 General] jlear3:
I always hate these threads because people get mad and need to post negative things.
[Nexus 4 General] easyxtarget:
A very similar scenario happened to me with my iPhone 4. It didn't crack but got an awful scratch the length of the screen because of a very small rock on my driveway (smaller than my pinky fingernail). So it's quite possible that the back of the phone hit a small piece of gravel or an uneven part of the driveway first resulting in a crack.
[Nexus 4 General] algorhythm:
You mean we shouldn't be bashing the OP for making a mistake and dropping his phone? I mean, who expects a 300-350$ device to survive a drop less than half a foot long? :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Rakeesh_j:
I've made some 4 foot drops of my phone on to hard tile, haven't had any damage yet.

Though to be fair, I am using a low profile mercury TPU case, so the glass never makes direct contact with any surface (while the phone retains its smooth surface and sleek form factor.)
[Nexus 4 General] monte666:
Physics suck I feel for you broke a sensation under my chevelle. And to all the people giving him **** at least he isn't saying it is a mystery heat crack like fifty other threads he said he dropped it
[Nexus 4 General] jlear3:
I just don't think anyone should bash any poster. If ya ain't got nuthin nice to say dont say anything. :D
[Nexus 4 General] yyz71:
Now seriously what did he expect when he posted this sympathy :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] scottx .:
Buy a damn case? Come on man. Protect that $400 phone with at least a $20 bumper case.

Don't cry because you dropped a totally glass phone and it broke. Should baseballs bounce off of glass windows too?
[Nexus 4 General] fujitsujeff:
So I was reading this thread yesterday thinking why do people drop their phones ... then long behold ... lol ... It happened to me. I dropped my Nexus 4 more than 5 inches on my concrete garage floor!

Guess what ... there are no scratches on my phone, the front or the back. Why were there no scratches? Because I have a bumper case from Google just for these type of moments :)

The simplest way to protect your phone is to get the case ... This holds true for sex also ... Your health and phone education tip of the day.
[Nexus 4 General] jlear3:
Yes, bumpers are always recommended for sexy :silly::sly::cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Why would you get a case for sex.....?

o wait..
[Nexus 4 General] St1ck33:
This.
[Nexus 4 General] jeebsie:
Use a wrapsol from eBay if you don't like cases, I've had it on gs3, iPhone and now nexus 4 and it's been great - I've never actually dropped a phone though but the clips on YouTube suggest an iPhone 4 can be thrown and it survives.

Or just watch to see an iPhone being trashed;)
[Nexus 4 General] jonathan3579:
This very thing happened with my GS3 and the front glass. I believe it's definitely possible although for the record I've dropped my Nexus 4 from much higher onto concrete and only got minor scuffs on the sides. (Now I'm using a case...)
[Nexus 4 General] skyrocket727:
Everyone saying that n4s back cracked but not much people saying their front broke. So what does this mean... back glass not so tough as front? I applied xtremeguard to my n4s back because i gotta tell ya this screen protectors take away that curve feature which i fell in love with.. And finally my n4 finally sits still.. Before xtremeguard n4 wondered around my table.
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
The front/screen is Gorilla Glass 2 or dragontrail and the back is some very thin "regular" glass.
[Nexus 4 General] NFHimself:
The Nexus 4 is a freaky slippery phone, I have laid it on flat surfaces and have had it move a minute later and take a tumble. Last time was around 4 feet off my fireplace, landed perfectly flat onto hardwood floor without a scratch.

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] xda6969:
It the surface was flat and the phone moved a minute later, some force was exerted on it.
[Nexus 4 General] stevessvt:
Theeeerrreeeee heeeeerrrreeeeee......
[Nexus 4 General] 20degrees:
Heh, I actually bought an extra one too. Just like the op.
[Nexus 4 General] Vissionary:
Brilliant.
[Nexus 4 General] Davith:
I have to agree with this on OP.

A phone, even if made of glass, should not break after suffering a 5-inch fall. Totally unacceptable for me.

I know how fragile this phone is so I had a case on it since day one, but then what's the point of having such a nice looking phone? And those who are saying "just don't drop your phone", please. I've never dropped my previous phone in 2 years but you're never away from an accident, it's simply impossible. Would you swear on your life that you're never ever going to drop yours? I guess not.

I have no regret at all buying a N4, it's an awesome device don't get me wrong. But just look at how solid the Xperia Z is, even though it is also made of glass. I wish LG at used a more durable type of glass.
[Nexus 4 General] ZDeuce2:
Really, what this whole thread comes down to, don't do stuff that will break your phone, with your phone in your pocket...

I work on my own cars, never once have I crawled under one with any damn phone in my pocket, even back when had pos Nokias 10-12 years ago.

If you do something that may break your phone while having it on your person, then you have to expect, with reasonable certainty, that your phone will break.

If he would have thought to himself, self, maybe I should take my 400 dollar phone out of my pocket, before I roll around under this car, then this would be a moot point.

Can a mod close this thread, its pointless. This is the same as many threads and really doesn't add anything to this forum. Sorry you broke your phone, hope you get it fixed or get a phone that suits you better.
[Nexus 4 General] Stryke_the_Orc:
I have to stop you right there.

Your assumptions about peoples work ethic vs $400 is a total load of bs.

There are many more things to consider here. Cost of living, are they supporting a family, etc.

I'll say this, I am a machinist by trade, which is math related, practical and specialized. I work 50 to 70 hours every week and I don't have $400 to just drop whenever I please.

You need to reconsider your own situation before you go off on other people.

[Nexus 4 General] Erazo1986:
Could not have said it better if I tried, bravo
[Nexus 4 General] imeem:
There's a reason why the phone is $349 and not like +500 like other phones; LG cheap out on the glass by making it thin and not as durable.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emerald123:
Guys I am basically meaning that entire galaxy ace font should change to marathi.

So I used term flipfont.

Is there such a font as an apk file ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman:
That is not font you are looking for..but language

And Google Don't support Marathi so there is very less possibility for marathi support..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arindam_mitra1985:
What u are trying to say is not exactly clear.. bt i guess u need marathi font and keyboard functionalities on ur Ace right??

Ok.

1. Download any marathi font from the internet.. Save it to ur sd card.

2. Download Font installer from play stone and install. backup ur current font and install the marathi font u downloaded.

3. for Marathi keyboard please try out some keyboard from the store.. i guess some would work. here

For more refer to my post.. which didnt get any likes.. :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emerald123:
I want all galaxy ace contacts to be displayed in marathi.

You know when I say flipfont , it applies to font throughout device.

Altleast if contacts can be displayed in marathi, its possible?

Give me link please to download marathi flipfont.
[Nokia Lumia 920] Juusuhako:
Hello everyone,

I've been looking at bluetooth headsets with display but simply cant find a decent one. My heart was set on a Nokia BH-221, but after reading about so many having problems with it and their Lumia 920 devices, it simply wont work. (its a massive compatibility issue)

The only requirement I have is that the unit can show caller ID (name, not just number), and that it has a button to pick up the call... Basically I dont wanna have to pick up my phone, at all. :laugh: - My headset already has a mic so that isnt required.
[Nokia Lumia 920] bikbok:
I replaced my Nokia BH-221 with the Sony MW600 - It has the features of the BH-221 (also FM radio), and it works.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] harsharip:
I am using this phone on Dhirus CM9 and the signal is not pickking up so I decided to make a fresh install of the ROM.

So I opened the Odin in my PC running Win8 and when I connect my phone to PC in downloading mode its not getting recognised(that ICOM recognition). It was working when I was in Win7

My phone navigation buttons are not working and so I was using CM9 with Nav Buttons mod It was fine but the signal is picking up.

So now is odine doesnt work in Win 8 or Its my phones fault??

I also installed the Samsung USB driver and my phones works perfectly bar Nav Buttons and Signal strength.

And Wifi works good long battery life also.

Plz can any one know about the FIX ??

Thx in advance mates........
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Rasin Ansar:
Try the signal fix kernel
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] harsharip:

[Glass Q&A] FinancialWar:
What is the expected battery life on this glass? Will it be removable?
[Glass Q&A] Synaps3:
I think No and battery life ... I think somethink about 8h, A full time work in poland:)
[Glass Q&A] Da Kine:
Google said a day, but in a review I read 5-8 hours of moderate usage. The battery is not removable.
[Glass Q&A] resub:
5 hours would be real bumper :(
[Glass Q&A] jt323bd:
Which means 1.5 or 2 active use. Thats worrying.
[Glass Q&A] the.joeba:
The battery does drain very fast with heavy use, but there aren't that many things you can do other than navigation and video recording that eat it up.

Just be sure to carry a portable battery charger.
[Glass Q&A] num1gever:
What about an accessory for the glass - something like a sticky little solar panel, that will stick to the handle part of the "screen", and with a tiny cable connect to the USB port for solar charging.

Will it do any good to the battery life?

I mean, will it produce enough electric power over the day time to even be significant?
[Glass Q&A] jt323bd:
Can glass be used while charging?
[Glass Q&A] aSquard:
Yes Glass can be used while charging
[Glass Q&A] droggen:
room for improvement

Hi guys,

On the first day when I received my Glass(es) I did extensive trials with them: this means, taking lots of pictures lots, of videos, showing them to everybody around, etc... Battery lasted about 4 hour. This indeed isn't great, however this was heavy, almost continuous use...

And indeed, if you touch the frame it's so hot it's burning.

Now about the theory of operation: Glass is supposed to be a wearable device for seamless micro-interactions - something that stays in the background except to allow rapid glances to perform one activity much faster than with another device (e.g. a phone). So Glass is definitely not designed to play videos (it can, but it's not the device you'd use for that....)... It's for just in time contextual information delivery, being on only the time to do its job then sleeping again.... With this usage pattern the battery lasts much longer.

Now on the technicalities. Glass uses a TI OMAP 4430. That's a pretty old cpu now (released Q1 2011), 45nm process.... really old stuff.... I think it's fair to speculate that the OMAP4430 won't be the CPU used in any commercial release of Glass....

Another thing is that Glass uses Bluetooth 2.... there may be a pattern, with Android now supporting BLE (Bluetooth Smart)... now most the radio chips support wifi, BL *and* BLE... we could also speculate that a commercial release would use BLE.....

Cheers,

Dan

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeFknGuy:
I know with the recent jellybean update to the S3 the root functionality has been changed around a bit to require odin....but i've ran into a hiccup with my phone that's keeping it from even connecting to a PC. The phone charges just fine but the PC doesn't even see the connection attempt. Is it possible to root/rom the phone through wifi/sd card transfers? I've already done a hard reset, changed cables out multiple times, even verified the cables worked on my friend's GS3 with no issues, his detected fine.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
There isn't any even the old method of rooting required a computer just not Odin mode. I do hope that the devs come up with a new way to root this phone.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mgolanlan:
now that I've had the XDA II for a week...

what/when will the XDA III come out?

I'm pretty sure it will have:

1. faster CPU

2. more memory

3. WiFi

4. better screen (probably VGA resolution)

I hope it also have:

1.. GPS

2. WiFi

3. longer / bigger / optional battery

4. better camera

5. better software e.g. camera, pic id, ie, backup, ...

6. usable as a wireless in-house phone via bluetooth

What else do you guys expect?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rb26DETTGT_R:
Ummm,,, I think you are getting a bit ahead of yourself. It isnt even out yey (XDAII) in most parts of the world. I mean, you might as well ask when is the XDAIV or XDAV coming out? Im sure all of your speculations will be addressed in some time to come.....
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Robson:
not to mention that iPaq is planning to release a whole new ppc rumored to be with even more capabilities than the xda2. heard about it while attending a techie conference in hong kong...they're planning to use the iPaq 5550 (the one with bluetooth, fingerprint bio-thingee, etc) as the base model. from there they're going to add a high res camera, phone edition, possibly gps, etc. so it may give xda a run for it's money as they try to overtake one another in terms of capabilities. that's the sad part about releasing your product ahead of the pack; it becomes the basis for releasing an improved product by reverse engineering. in any case, it'll be most interesting to see how the next generation ppcs will look like and how they will perform.

2 cents worth..

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] arebelspy:
I heard it's based on the 4xxx form factor (aka no more sleeves..ever).

And it will only have 64 MB of RAM.

Haha yeah right, the MDA II was rumored at one point to only have 64 MB of RAM, but it didn't come out with that. Gotta keep in mind, stuff is only rumors. Don't keep waiting around for that perfect device.

I'm happy with my XDA II for now, and if the H6000 comes out six months from now and is way better, well, then I got 6 months good use out of my XDA II, and I can decide then if I want to upgrade. :D

Those people saying "I'll hold off on the XDA II and wait for the H6000 cause I've heard it's so good, etc. etc." seem silly to me, because when the H6000 comes out, something else bigger (or smaller in the PDA world, lol) and better will be rumoredm and they'll be saying "I'll hold off on the H6000 and wait for the ______ because it's so good, etc. etc." ;)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
if you think about for how long from the xda were released to the xda2 got here i say it's pretty hard to say what it will offer

it's hard to predict more so about the furture :)

maybe it'll have

wireless glasses / eye pad screen

maybe it'll have ESP interface

maybe it'll connect directly to satelites

maybe it'll give you a brain turmor after a few hours use

Maybe you can add "TV Tuner" and "CF Slot" in your list...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] stryker:
I reckon it will be 3g compatible.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mgolanlan:
3G, CF, TV

TV/FM tuner will be nice. Samsung already came out with something

like this in the far east, I think.

I'd guess the XDA III "information" will be here in 9-10 months,

and by then a CF card will be useless, especialyl if we get WiFi+GPS

builtin and standard 1Gb SD cards.

If you guys think that HTC engineers aren't already working on

the XDA III, you're very wrong.

I think 3G is unlikely to show up on a global form anytime soon.

Adding WiFi and/or GPS receiver to already GSM/Bluetooth signals

is going to be hard enough, electorically (shielding), so 3G might

be 2-3 years away.

Hopefully, with WM2004, we'll have more than 32 processes and

better overall device management. Right now, I'm forced to

soft-reset every 2-3 days, and I don't like that.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] arebelspy:
Man, I soft reset every few hours. What's the big deal? It boots up as fast as it would load a webpage, so the wait isn't that bad.

Why do people complain about soft resetting? I just like that I get to choose when to soft reset (i.e. after saving all work, closing all apps, etc.), rather than it locking up and forcing a soft reset. The XDA II is a stable device, to be sure.

btw...i think i already have a brain tumor, right above my right ear :shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mgolanlan:
regarding soft reset

he he. Maybe I should soft-reset every now and then.

My problem is, I've had ie+multie+battery2004 create some lockup

that soft-reset didn't really cleanup.

I suspect I pressed the mult-ie func-menu while a page was loading

and something more was going on... anyway:

I had to Hard-reset.

I restored my xBackup from my SD (night before, device was soft

reset and no active apps while running)

and guess what, after the restore the device won't reboot.

tried it twice. had to go back to activesync backup... yak.

I've had multiple times where I had to soft-reset while an app was

active, but the menu has gone "dead"... I turn the device off,

then press reset, as if "when it is sleepy" a soft reset is "safer".

I'm pretty sure this is just vodoo... but it works for me.

Now everytime I soft-reset I wonder if I ever going to see it reload...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Tuningszocske:

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
mgolanlan

well since a 3g phone works on the current gsm networks aswell

same thing with edge i dont find it all that unlikely that xda3 may support some of these new tech's

guess in many ways it also depend on ms's view on edge and 3g and video phone issues
