[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Behemyth:
I've been debating buying a Nexus 4 for awhile. At this point, do you guys still think its worth it? I've heard rumors that they might be coming out with a new model this year, plus we have the GS4 and the HTCOne coming out very shortly. Do you guys think its worth the money? I really like the OS, no carrier stuff in it. Plus I'm off contract with ATT, so I dont have to worry about that, ill have good service.

-Thanks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrutalUK:
I would still buy it. The N5 is still a rumour and anyway regardless if it does come out you'll always get OS updates before Samsung and HTC.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grgsujan:
Maybe wait for a while for the much rumoured Motorola x? Nexus 4 is worth the money. You get what you paid for. Except for sd card and battery life, everything about this is excellent! I am overlooking the camera cuz no one should expect a dslr quality image from a mobile phone.

I am very happy with my nexus 4. Whoever I show it to, is really pleased with design of this device. They have never heard of this phone. In fact the nexus line. Imho, if you look for features on a smartphone go for Samsung, if you look for pure stock experience with updates and support go for nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dia_naji:
Just buy it :)For example, look at the galaxy nexus its been 2 years since its release and its still going strong
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0rigin:
Nexus 4 was released in November. Today it's the 1st of April. Yep, almost a year, only some 7 months short..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Behemyth:
Hmm OK, I'll probably pick one up then. I'm just tired of always purchasing the newest handsets to have the features, i just want them when they come out lol. Plus i really like how smooth the android experience is with how google sets up their phones. Are they really heavy by chance?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grgsujan:
And I also don't think nexus 5 will support sd card, instead more storage size will be available along with cloud
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrutalUK:
Heavy?????? I wouldn't say so at 139 grams.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
It is hard to me to get any other android phone these days. I used to work at sprint and hated that they weren't going to have nexus 4, galaxy nexus was just too old at the time and with no voice and data...

I have used gs3 and one x plenty, neither work as well as stock android. Touch wiz is buggy and takes away core features while adding new ones that don't work too well, aside from being very laggy compared to stock.

Sense is not bad, but multitasking on it is horrific, even if you root it.

Both aren't great with software updates, HTC ones never come and Samsung ones end up buggy in most cases.

Motorola ui thus far is too inferior to even consider. Point is, no thing really compared to stock in my opinion. You may see much better benchmarks on gs4 but I doubt day to day it'd prove as stable and smooth as n4.

So, to me... Yes, worth the money, specially considering you'd get one for less than $400 with no contract! My only major issue with n4 is the antenna, it is subpar compared to other devices, same was for gn.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strikerdj2011:
a year old lol its not even 5 month old yet came out the back end of November 2012
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blmvxer:
What I suggest is find a decently spec phone from sprint and put AOSP on the device and tweak the hell out of it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Behemyth:
Yeah, i just bought one. I hear the camera is pretty bad, but i never take pictures. I'm sure if i need to it will work for me. Everything else I've heard is positive. Can't wait to get it. I'm going to be going from LTE to HSPA again though, that should still be plenty fast for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScumDroid:
lol @ almost a year old. April 13th will be 5 months. :rolleyes: And yes i would suggest it if you like stock android. If your more into skins and bloat, go for the HTC one or the S4 at nearly double the price.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Behemyth:
Yeah, that's my fault. I thought they came out last summer, didn't know they were that new yet. I'm just tired of all the manufacturers screwing with the phones, and the constant problems. Plus the fact that you never see updates, ever. I have a OneX now, and im so tired of how sluggish and slow it is. Plus i have constant problems with it anymore.

Just hoping this is a good move. I can't wait to get it and start using it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 75markus:
updates are immediately, you will never regret a Nexus phone :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hpl912:
I've asked myself the same questions as yourself before buying myself the nexus 4.

First, looking at timeline of nexus device releases, I've noticed it releases one at every year. So i assume the next nexus phone will only be here by November-December 2013 even if it will be announced at the May Google I/O.

Galaxy S4 is indeed a great device specwise (even better if you can get the 8 core version). But for me, it's still not a Nexus device, the build quality must be inferior to the current Nexus 4 (based on S3), looks exactly like the S3 which is EXTREMELY popular device (not unique), and the Nexus 4 is much more affordable priced.

HTC One, the only thing that will attract me over the nexus 4 is the full aluminum body. Not a Sense fan. That's it.

So with all those, i ended up with the Nexus 4 and I don't regret it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blahblah13233:
Its not even halfway to a year old. Its not outdated hardware. S4 Pro is still one of Qualcomms fastest chips. and the Snapdragon 600 uses the same gpu "Adreno 320"
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
Almost a year? N4 might be too complicated for you.

And yeah google will release another nexus phone...probably 7months from. The N4 is still the best android phone out and it is the best out of the box android device I've used in 4yrs of android by far.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
Its blazing fast despite using an older soc. Faster as there's hardly any overlay on it. Next phone will probably be the X phone which will rumoured boasts the S800 which will be fast but the N4 is no slouch.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisrozon:
And most people didn't get their until January!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScumDroid:
you wont be disappointed, its a great phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d_phekt:
Whichever one you decide on make sure you check out Google calendar... It might help to determine how long a year is.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exoten:
Before you buy it you have to know that phone has some issues. First, it appears to be very fragile. You have to be careful all the time not to drop it, even from low heights. I have mine since January and I never dropped it, don't know how long it'll go that way.

Second important issue is the weak signal. If you take that phone in your hand, resting in the palm, you will loose 10 to 15 dbm instantly. Can be annoying in areas with low signal.

For the rest, this phone is very snappy, you have a lot of good roms to chose from, if you don't use Google Now the battery seems to be good in areas with good signal (the battery drains faster in weak signal areas).

Despite its weaknesses, I like this phone and it won't be outdated soon. Sure, if you wait until September you'll certainly have some alternatives at a much higher price but before then I think it is unbeatable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desynch-:
Honestly, I had issues with the antenna losing signal holding it. Changing the baseband to the .27 baseband fixed it for me from .33.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daugirdas:
I'd wait or buy another android device. You can put a custom ROM on pretty much anything and you should

I had 2x N4 and both have some noise issues from the headset. Perhaps people don't use the phone for calling any more but that was a showstopper for me

I guess you wouldn't mind full LTE G4 support either
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
Mine has no issues, and neither do any of the 5 other N4s that my friends own. While it's true you can custom ROM almost any phone, most people simply don't want to and the N4 solves that issue. As for hardware, I personally am fine with 16GB and I don't see anything being able to take advantage of 2013 hardware (i.e. the chipsets, displays etc.) any time soon. While there are things on other devices I'd like (the dual front facing speakers and build quality of the HTC One are great) I don't see anything being as good value for money as the N4.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coldcrush390:
Hmm... A year old? Geez come on do some research.... I'm wondering if that was your way to attract others to view your thread...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul_viado:
made the switch from an ATT HTC ONE X myself. best decision i ever made, best phone ive ever had and ive had every high end android phone on verizon except the galaxy nexus. and i can tell you stock pure andoid and the neus 4 is a night and day comparison never looking back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tokuzumi:
The n4 is still a very relevant phone, even in the days of octo cores, and whatever other nonsense the manufacturers are going with these days. I'm still rocking a galaxy nexus, and it's running just fine. My only complaint about the n4 is the lack of storage. I want 32gb, min, or at least give me the option to add a micro sd card.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toughcookie:
I actually compared with my old gs3 and the pictures on nexus actually came out alot nicer.

Its worth to get the phone for sure. Coming from the gs3 I always used a ROM but it NEVER ran 100% perfect all the time. Nothing beats pure stock android and Paranoid Android ROM just makes it better

Hello everyone! Having a 2GB RAM in nexus 4, I am curious how much max RAM have you people used. After running my daily apps like Facebook,8 tracks, flipboard, what's app, viber,xda, drop box, chrome, I have used a Max of 1.2GB RAM. Post your max RAM usage.
[Nexus 4 General] dia_naji:
I have used about a 1 GB of RAM. I love having extra ram in a phone
[Nexus 4 General] grgsujan:
Lol. Yup. That extra ram Will be much helpful for the future updates. My friend's one x's 1 gig of RAM is now not sufficient for him.

Imho, nexus 4's power has not been used to the full yet. Optimization needs to be done, both in hardware and software. I believe we have a hardware that will go into full swing next year
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Most likely key lime pie will have more optimizations hopefully and it should debut this year.
[Nexus 4 General] dia_naji:
That is true. Take for example the galaxy nexus was released two years ago and its going strong
[Nexus 4 General] illgodson:
I dunno why 1gig of RAM wouldn't be sufficient but i don't mind having the extra. And KLP rumors say that the new Linux Kernel will actually be substantially more RAM efficient.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
i usually have between 1375-1500mb free ram at any point of my usage(about 1650mb after killing my apps). i also use autostarts to prevent apps from starting up in the background, and i use greenify to tame wild apps.
[Nexus 4 General] _KP:
I've seen about 1.2-1.4gb of my RAM being used. But there was someone who kept complaining that the nexus 4 would close apps even if plenty of space was remaining. i think that person even started a thread & posted videos to prove it .

[YOUTUBE]uYCRZimWBHw[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]Po43M7jrdi4[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
anyone can fake that video. can even make it kill the background apps sooner when very little ram is used. all you have to do is change the memory management variables by raising them. plus, there are roms out there that do that too.
[Nexus 4 General] grgsujan:
Yes. I feel like that nexus 4 kills certain apps or refreshes despite having enough RAM.
[Nexus 4 General] illgodson:
Using Elixer 2 widgets, I seen to hover between 1.2gb to 800mb free ram. I don't really close anything, pretty much just let it run on its own. Stock not rooted or anything. I have probably 50 give or take a few apps installed.
[Nexus 4 General] naveediftikhar:
Ram use age is not only dependent upon the applications running... If you use roms like xylon or liquid etc there are options to show how much ram is used by applications, cache and one other thing which i can't remember right now.. So basically my ram use age in real life had always been nearly to 1.6 1.7 GB!
[Nexus 4 General] republicano:
is jelly bean optimized for 2gb?, Ive had apps close not crash and I wonder why if it needed the ram, would changing the vm heapsize help?

I checked and I usually have 700mb remaining.
[Nexus 4 General] Ieatnoobs:
My Galaxy Nexus ran perfectly with 1gb ram so its probably more like JB uses ram pretty efficiently. More helps tho.
[Nexus 4 General] grgsujan:
That much RAM? :o you are on a custom Rom? Could you list your apps?
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
Maximum RAM used on my N4 was about 800-900 MB. Stock everything, with some services running like Facebook,Whatsapp,8tracks,Lightflow and a live wallpaper ..

As for the people wondering why some apps appear to "close" on their own despite having enough RAM. Its the app's fault, the code is not written well and does not advantage of Android's multitasking capabilities.
[Nexus 4 General] LoVeRice:
Mine has free 900+ mb

Long story sort I soft bricked my phone over the weekend and went ODIN back to stock 4.1.1 (COMBINATION_I535VRBLK3_I535VZWBLK3_381038_REV09_user_low_ship.tar.md5) then OTA to 4.1.2.

Now I would like to have root, unlock, and recovery again. I was following this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2046439 and for the life of me I cant get past step 3 and get it into recovery.. I've done this before.. but now it wont load I get the Samsung screen the unlock icon along with custom and I've tried holding the buttons down until it supposed to come up but never does.. or wait till the screen goes black and do the button combo again, but still the same result

If any of you could lend me some insight I would be grateful. I need to get off of TW and back to a nice custom ROM and Kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mapatton82:
I think I know what your issue is, try this, hold down the vol-up + home + power until you see the Samsung logo with the recovery text int he upper left corner. Now release the power button but still hold the vol-up+home buttons until you get to the recovery screen. I had this happen once.

Hi there,

I currently have the Samsung Galaxy SIII I9300 running Cyanogen Mod. At the moment my camera is very temperamental and the quality is not amazing. I have seen some things about HX-Mod but i'm still not entirely sure that I could get that to work. Do you have any suggestions of a ROM or Mod that will make the camera on my S3 better?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
Any Samsung based rom will have a better camera.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FSx9:
Ok thanks, I know this may sound daft but are there any custom samsung based roms? If so, are there any you would particularly recommend? Also do you think I may be better of with a non samsung based rom if they have better features or are faster?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep99:
If the camera quality is important to you, you would be best on a Samsung based rom.

I can't recommend one but there are a number to choose from in the development section.

It all depends on your priorities, only you can decide what is best for you :)

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] bvdijk6:
Hi,

I've been using the Sony Xperia T now for a while and something bothers me.

When I am in a call, my phone tends to put the caller on hold, switch to speakerphone, or just end the conversation alltogether. My idea is that the touchscreen doesn't lock when I am in a conversation and I press either of these buttons with my ear/head. Is anyone familiar with this issue and is it something I can fix myself? I've looked through the settings on my phone but couldn't find anything to help me here.

This issue doesn't happen every call, but I would estimate it does half the calls. Especially when I'm answering calls.

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] merseyman:
Never had any problems.

Plz Help me to either restore it or install new one.

Was that an app?

It probably deleted your old bootanimation.zip

See what you have under system/ media. ( the location might be different. Check around in the /system and see if you find it anywhere else)

If there ain't anything there, then put the zip there with permissions. Reboot.

Is there genuine way to unlock sony xperia T with rooting and flashing ...

I am ready to buy unlock code too but major sites don't accept indian credit card what should I do ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gregbradley:
Do you mean to Sim unlock? If so then no.

Do you mean unlock bootloader? If so its free to do via the sony official method, just google "Sony unlock bootloader"

Do you mean gaining root acces? If so google "Bin4rys root many android" or search for it on xda.
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] rupesh1718:
Yup I'm asking about sim unlock is it possible by rooting ? If not please suggest me a paid way in which I can get unlock code (note that site must support Indian credit/devout card)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] Mad Marty:
No, SIM (un)lock has nothing to do with rooting. SIM locking is done by your carrier, so you should ask them. Here in the Netherlands carriers provide SIM unlocks after your contract has ended, but I don't know what the policy is in India.

Based on 1.09.707.4 base

Added more languages

Rooted

Busybox installed

init.d suppot

Things to check:

1. Root works

2. Wifi / BT & other stuff works fine

3. Over all stuff

Once confirmed, we'll proceed with tuning / modding part ;)
