Are you telling this to me? I'm in love with my polycarbonate unibody One X the thing survived some deadly abuse

Same for the 920 I'm sure, the same can not be said about the S3 its not that kind of rigid plastic, far from it, its fragile and the screen is left unprotected by the soft plastic, just like Baron's s3 screen broke from a small hit to the edge i had two which suffered the same fate, unlike the one x which had a rock solid unibody plus a thick metal frame securing the screen, a hit to the sides will not break the screen unless at the very exposed edge of it, my One X even survived a flat fall on the screen without a scratch

So don't confuse my comments with plastic, good plastic build is still good build but the s3 like Baron remarks is fragile, with very soft shell and flimsy plastic parts, ie no real crash testing (yes they are supposed to do)
[One (M7) General] Reckless187:
I hate the look of Touchwiz, one of the main reasons I cant go Samsung even though their phones are usually slightly better specc'd than HTC's Touchwiz looks like it was designed by a beginner with tacky taste
[One (M7) General] omersak:
I can attest to this, i bought the S3 at launch and two of the back clips of the back cover broke off around 10 days later. The clips are very small and fragile and came off when I took the cover off to insert a microSD.

I had no such problems with the note 2 which I also got at launch - but the S-pen it shipped with was missing a nib. The One X and Sensation which I bought months into launch had severe issues too.

Anyway, back on topic - i'm not biased in any way. If I like a phone, I like it and I buy it regardless of manufacturer. I got both the S3 and Note 2 at launch because nothing came close, and was looking to what the S4 would bring to the table. When I found out it was pretty much the same design and build, i was disappointed and decided not to buy it and went for the HTC One instead. I do not plan to purchase the S4.

So, at least in my case, the samey materials/build/design turned me off the S4. I'm sure it's happening with others, too - as I'm sure a lot of others simply don't care.

[One (M7) General] daleski75:
I had a 920 and can 100% say it was an incredibly well built phone with zero flex and my mates old Galaxy S3 felt cheap in comparison.

Samsung definitely has the means and the money to make a much better built phone with plastic and to keep the design qualities which everyone demands such as removable cover etc.
[One (M7) General] Hudrator:
Samsung could, but why should they do something like this?

They are / were selling so many units of the S3 and S2.

The only one who is able to change that, is the costumer.

When Samsung will sell less then expected, maybe Samsung will decide to build something different.

And there marketing campaign will start soon. Hope HTC got some more "magic tricks" in there marketing hats
[One (M7) General] MadManMark:
None of us here have had the s4 in their hand I'm sure, just wait and see guys
[One (M7) General] SeanBlader:
Let's not make gross generalizations. I was just suggesting that based on past history one user's preference probably won't have changed in less than a year.

The One X was a pretty limited device only available on 1 major carrier in the US. But if you add in the rest of the One series I wouldn't say it "didn't sell well." Also there's at least a few Apple converts coming to HTC for the One, and there are some Samsung users switching too. I think when the One is on the market and there's some room for viral marketing, you could see a significant increase in sales compared to last years entire One series. No more S, X, V or Evo. Now it's just the One that makes for a different paradigm in sales counts.

[One (M7) General] JesseMT4G:
I think to be relevant, they need to change the hardware, but it is not a necessity for me anymore.

I love the look of the One, however most people will put their phone in a case. I know I do.

So with that, your phone is only as nice as the case.

Also think durability will be on the Sammy side.

If not rocking a case and only care about looks, no question the One wins this one.

Definitely interested in what the Note 3 will look like, but just got the Note 2.

This will HOPEFULLY be the new and improved nexus 4 SCREEN ON TIME

(this is my first new post, i hope im doing it correctly :fingers-crossed:

i will be adding some rules and guidelines to this as well

****************************************************************RULES****************************************************************

- post screen on time and overall battery

- post kernel/rom used also frequencies/governors/voltages, etc

- ONLY NEXUS 4 SCREENSHOTS, ive seen other post with 6+ hours screen on which is nearly impossible in my opinion (unless u dont do anything but leave screen on and not do anything

- and please post any additional information you feel is needed to show what improved your screen on time, such as battery improving apps, or leaving data off, or just using wifi, etc ANYTHING YOU FEEL LIKE IT HELPED YOU, ADD IT IN YOUR POST

- this will aslo cut down a lot of questions from people constantly asking for kernel and rom combo.

so for example these screenshots ive attached

I use Franco Kernel 121 with Paranoid Android

I Leave data off ALWAYS when not using it, when i do have it on i have good reception for the most part.

I also used greenify, first time ever using it.

Undervolted via franco kernel 100 mV

normal daily apps are, appy geek, xda, and maybe some super hexagon here and there or some minor web browsing
[Nexus 4 General] lokenok:

[Nexus 4 General] dhurk:

[Nexus 4 General] therobotking:
I've had great battery life using:

- Stock 4.2.2

- franco's kernel r121

-- CPU limited to ~700Mhz when screen is off, no voltage changes, min cpu set to 300Mhz, max 1300Mhz)

- Greenify

- Wifi ON, GPS ON, NFC OFF

edit: I had to wait 5 minutes before I could edit the post so sorry if you viewed it while the pics were still missing
[Nexus 4 General] BrutalGreen:
Is my phone special or something? I was getting 6+ hours of screen time on stock...

It's probably due to how I use it though (only texting/facebook/email/chat apps/flipboard/reddit...ie: no games/video)

Anyways I don't usually let it drain dry but I did for the purpose of seeing how long it would take (screenshots included). I'm running stock 4.2.2 with Matr1x 10.0 GPU-OC kernel with 75mV downvolt, CPU max at 1ghz and homebrew tuned interactive governor. The screen is almost always at 25%ish brightness unless I'm outside under direct sunlight when I need to max it (happened for about 20minutes durring this cycle) and also didn't have access to WiFi for most of this cycle so it was off for most of the time (plus a few other small tweaks).

2% remaining juice: 19:33:11 cycle with 13:11:31 of light use screen time
[Nexus 4 General] kurtyyyyyy:
13hours screen on time......... i call BS! :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] CrashTestDroid:
Either it's BS or somebody modded with twice the battery.
[Nexus 4 General] BrutalGreen:
Neither, the secret is in the governor and lack of WiFi/GPS use. Basically using the Matr1x kernel with the minimum clock at 192mhz (undervolted to 675mV) with a standard interactive governor with the only exception being the CPU is locked down to 2 cores and max clock of 540mhz (750mV) or single core at 1026mhz (875mV) depending on the number of threads, unless the GPU goes above 35% use for long enough at which point all 4 cores become accessible but limited at 1026mhz.

Yes it's not the smoothest experience but still very livable and on par with a Galaxy Nexus, games still run great (faster than stock due to lack of thermald and with the GPU OCed to 487mhz) but gaming/video does kill the battery several folds faster.

Basically with this setup the only real power drain is the screen itself as the internals use barely more than in screen off/deep sleep modes under what is "normal" use to me. Thus why the screen by itself accounts to 88% of the total drain. I recon I could probably get about 6-8 hours of back to back YouTube videos or Temple Run 2 on this governor but I can't say for certain as its very rare for me to game or even watch videos on my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] CrashTestDroid:
Thanks for the explanation! I've tried undervolting on Samsung devices without success, they always crash, so I never bothered on the N4. UV on N4 now seems to work fine. When/if my N4 lasts for 2-3 days (a la Note II) it will be screenshot worthy.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Hmm something isn't sitting right with me. You see I've seen something similar happen within Android. The OS doesn't reset battery stats unless a complete charge(100%) is completed, if the user unplugs and does a partial charge their previous battery stats are sustained for the time being.

Now I'm not saying tc did this, but it's just a feeling of mine.
[Nexus 4 General] BrutalGreen:
True but if that was the case the graph wouldn't be a constant downward slope and would go back up, also on the first screenshot you would see when it was charging at the bottom.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
I mean the one worth 13hrs sot, it just sounds odd. Tc is okay because I've seen 6hrs, but 13 seems unnatural.

Paranoid Android 3.99 with franco.kernel

50Mv underclock, using greenify, max cpu reduced to 1Ghz, using only 1 core as touch boost instead of default 2. Phone still performs and full CPU access available on high demand such as gaming.
[Nexus 4 General] veketash:
This is definitely cheating. Those grapghs show clearly that you just let the phone with the screen on above half the time, without even touching it. On the half of the graph I can see you used that Reader app and then you let the phone alone again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] PhilipTD:
I'm on a rooted T-Mobile phone running CM10.1 nightlies and have T-Mobile as my carrier. I go to the Catskills a lot, and, except when I'm in a "big" town, I'm on Edge (literally and figuratively). I'm told that AT&T and Verizon have better infrastructure up there than does T-Mobile.

I tried enabling national data roaming and selecting LTE/GSM/WCDMA under network mode settings, but then when I search for network operators it takes forever and doesn't find anything.

What do I need to do to be able to connect to the other carriers' networks, or is it even possible?

Thanks for any advice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darekz:
I almost sure that your account needs to have roaming data enabled and carriers to have roaming agreement. I remember during storm Sandy Tmo and Att shared towers for a while and phone automatically connected to stronger provider. This is not phone issue. Other providers not allowing you on theirs networks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] GN2Rabbit:
In short. No. You can't. There are some areas where we can roam on att but they're limited ans you only get 50 megs of domestic roaming data.

Thanks very much for your responses. I guess I'll look into getting another phone on one of those other carriers. Maybe prepaid for only when I go up there. Or maybe just a prepaid sim, if that even exists. I never researched it.

Are there methods for this ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] gratefuled:
Perhaps a silly question, but I'm fairly conservative when it comes to messing around with my device.

How do you find out or know if your Ext ROM is write protected or not? I know that I can add applications to my Ext ROM and it does not seem like I should be able to do that if it's write protected, but then again I'm not sure if this matters.

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ronald2oo2:
ed, if you can copy files to your ext-rom via activesync, it is per definition not write-protected.

your not that conservative, because you already run a tool or edited the registry to be able to see the ext-rom :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] gratefuled:
ronald,

Well I guess you are right I do like to play around, as I get more comfortable doing so. It is this Forum, guys like you, and some other forums that have made this possible for me to do. For some reason I'm more comfortable in general hacking around a desktop pc than a PPC.

I thought my Ext ROM must not be write protected. When I deleted the TMD files, described here as useless, I got the message that they were read only, but they did go away from the Ext ROM Folder. I do not notice a big difference, however, nor did it free up that much memory. I was thinking that I might need to do more then this. Do I?

So basically, if my Ext ROM is not right protected, and I have been already loading programs into the Ext ROM, I’m pretty much at the place people are trying to get with the Ext ROM Cook ER...Edit. Is that correct or am I missing something here?

Ed
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] ronald2oo2:
Ed,

I do not like flashing rom (or bios) on either my desktop or PDA (if not absolute sure to fix bugs). However flashing the PDA's ext-rom can basically not screw up the PDA because you don't touch the OS, so I flashed the ext-rom to get familiar with the PDA flashing in general (and also to have a restore of my standard used software after a hard-reset).

About your ext-rom; I do not recognise your situation. I would say if it is read-only the file will not disappear (like with my PDA).

I did notice while editing the ext-rom file for flashing that the file is fixed ~16MB, regardless of which cab's are included or deleted.

Maybe this is the same effect that you see when deleting the file in the ext-rom ???????? (although I can imagine both effects have no relation)
