Hey guys!

It's been like three years since I posted something last on the XDA-Developers forums. I kinda reached a dead end to mobile phone technology, and Android as well. I used to tweak around my settings, rooting my phone, installing custom roms and whatnot - and here I'm back!

I bought the Nexus 4 a couple of days ago, and I thought I wanted to share a few things that I've come across, both good and bad.

Incredible build quality

Yes, I'm a bit nervous about tossing the phone outta my hand, but I must admit that glass feels a lot more smooth to carry around. Also the phone is surprisingly light and big. The rubber around the phone adds comfort when just dialling people - you'll get the right feeling. The sort of curve that the screen fades out to is a really cool idea as well. Apropos the screen, the IPS Panel just looks amazing from every angel. I looks like painted ink.

Rattle?!

After playing around with the phone, I guess you pretty much notice the rattling noise around the cam area. I looked it up, and it seems like it's a common problem, not to say a really quick-spreading one. As far as I'm concerned, people has confirmed that it's the autofocus, and a lot of phones on the market does the same. I doesn't annoy me at all, but I just get reminded now and then when laying down my phone on a soft surface.

Project Butter, Android is making this phone a clear pleasure

Holy honeycomb this phone is quick. The V-Sync and the Triple Buffering definitely made a huge improvement in the whole Android industry. You can really get the idea that this is not just some phone some random dudes made, and then just throw whatever version on Android on it - that's basically what Samsung did with their early tablet devices, without Google having a proper version of Android released (Honeycomb). This phone is just tailored with the hardware, and it feels that the software and hardware are "bound together", if you get the general idea.

Google franchise making me interested

I don't know about you Nexus owners, but I'm certainly more excited about this years Google I/O than I were last year. I feel like I'm included as the Nexus users always gets the first Android releases, and I'm just really looking forward to see all the goodies in the next Android version.

So without further ado, and without further talk, I want to know what you guys think.

- What do you think of the device in general?

- Are you critical against all the minor problems (such as rattling noises)?

- What do you think of Google cooperating with LG?

- Are you looking forward to I/O?

Cheers,

Fred.
[Nexus 4 General] viva_zidane:
I agree with you but I wanted to add that the rattle noise is also because of the button that allows you to pull out the SIM tray. It annoyed me the first days because it feels like there is some part not fixed inside the phone but now I learnt to ignore it. Sort of.
[Nexus 4 General] Tom540:
Very true, love the nexus 4. I'm not worried about the rattling either, although the fragility of the device annoys me - I don't really enjoy covering up the beautiful design with a case!

And yes I can't wait until KLP which will hopefully be at IO - although it might be a hassle updating with a rooted device with custom recovery?
[Nexus 4 General] viva_zidane:
You'll just need to manually update the device since with a custom recovery you won't get any OTA.

Wrong. Recovery doesn't matter. It's the /system that matters.

[Nexus 4 General] FoleyRose:
So you mean if I'm stock rooted with TWRP and a non-stock kernel I'll still get the next OTA?
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Yup. But it won't flash. Now if you flash stock rom in top, download ota and flash it from twrp it will work.

Sent from my fridge. Make: LG Model: N⁴
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
The rattle is apparent in other phones as well i.e s3 and iphone. Guess all phone companies use the same manufacturer when it comes to cameras.
[Nexus 4 General] Thunderglaive:
By the way, are your guys' power button also a bit loose? I have to press a bit above the middle to gain a hundred percent hardness on my press.

It's not alarming me as I just got a cover for the phone, but it's still a tad annoying to know. The volume buttons and the power button is also creaking if I press at different places.

Buttons on this phone is definitely a minus so far!
[Nexus 4 General] lokenok:
once you go nexus you can never turn back.... i went to a nexus from an xperia and i can enjoy the same "xperiance" of xperia and have the latest updates :)
[Nexus 4 General] Jankulovski:
The build quality feels sturdy, but I wouldn't describe it as incredible, due to how easily the screen and/or back shatters.

Hey guys,

I just recently got my hand on a Droid DNA. Coming from a nexus phone I decided to create a stock Google splash screen for the DNA!

For this to work you must be:

S-Off

have the Dev ENG HBOOT found here

Instructions:

1.) Have adb and fastboot setup on your computer. If you don't read this

2.) Copy the splash.img into the same folder as fastboot.exe

3.) type the following comands after plugging in your phone

adb reboot bootloader

4.) Wait for phone to reboot into bootloader, then type

fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

Splash without unlock

Splash With Unlock!

Download

Splash with no unlock http://goo.gl/VGxdN

Splash with unlock http://goo.gl/Pygze
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Thank you for this and especially for making it black.
[HTC Droid DNA] avenator14:
Unlocked

Looks great! could you possibly consider making one but with the unlock logo on the bottom? similar to how the nexus bootloaders look when unlocked

This: http://s17.postimg.org/hd60s17wv/image.jpg
[HTC Droid DNA] farshad525hou:
Yeah I'll definitely look into it!
[HTC Droid DNA] farshad525hou:
Posted a new splash screen with an unlocked icon near the bottom!
[HTC Droid DNA] avenator14:
Looks dope! thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] farshad525hou:
Whoops! Just realized that the lock icon is a tad bit off center... Give me a day or so I'll fix it :p
[HTC Droid DNA] Largo Usagi:
Thanks I am setting up ENG HBOOT just so I can do this, I rather dislike the HTC splash screen.

Hello all,

I have bought a used KFH7 supposed to be the 32GB model.

I'm wondering, though, if it might not indeed be the 16GB model and if I have been ripped off.

The df command submitted in root shell gives me:

KFH7 alleged 32GB model

C:\KFFirstAide>adb shell
root@android:/ # df

Can you comment, please, if my suspicion is justified? Do I miss something here?

Not sure it's important, but I have rooted the device, installed Hashcode's 2nd bootloader and TWRP and am running psych0phobia's Kinology.

Thank you very much for your help
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seokhun:
Based on the information, yes, you've been ripped-off. Should've checked storage on the device before you purchased it, simply by going to Settings > Device.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E_Zatopek:
Thanks, seokhun

this is the answer I was afraid to get.

Excellent piece of advice, but kinda hard to follow, when you buy a used device on eBay.

Can somebody post the df output of a confirmed 32GB model, please? I assume it's just the data partition that's larger, right?

I guess I had some vague hope that rooting or flashing Kinology might have tampered with the partition information.

Thanks again for any input.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seokhun:
Here's mine, in ADB Shell # df and Storage on the device itself.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
You should probably get in touch with eBay's fraud dept.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] E_Zatopek:
Thanks, seokhun,

this confirms it. I was sold a 16GB unit rather than 32GB.

I'll get in touch with the seller - let's see what he says.

Thanks again for your quick repsonses

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrucegL:
I have a TF101 that will not charge or power on. I rooted it a month ago and it was running great. My wife lost the charger and had plugged in the tablet USB cable to a cell-phone charger :rolleyes:, I found plugged into a week later to the phone charger, unplugged and attempted to turn that tablet on, it flickered on for a moment and then died (loading screen) :silly: ya stupid right?. I them found the right charger and plugged in the tablet and the light indicating that it is charging does not come on. I look and looked online for help. I'm pretty sure its not a charging problem as I did the freezer trip on the charger box nothing, I bought a new charging cable and charger off Amazon, nothing. Still not coming on when plugged in or anything (That is why I don't think its just a battery issue from what I have read.) The connection on the tablet looks ok on the bottom and both the old and new charger will power up and charge the keyboard dock just fine. Has the tablet been bricked dead?? Nothing I can do??:(

Thanks for your help and reply on this your all awesome :cool:

P.S I also tried a slow charge through the usb port on my computer over night and left the tablet plugged into both chargers over the course of two different nights. No luck.Also can't get into (Apx mode) the volume up and power held down for 15 sec does nothing.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
Looks like you're stuck. You'll have to make a decision whether to buy a new battery or not. A colleague of mine solved a similar issue with a new battery off ebay, but it doesn't mean there isn't another hardware issue.

When you say the charging light does not come on, you mean on the dock right? The tablet itself doesn't have one. Did you try to just charge the tablet without the dock? Did you try to open the dock and flip the switch?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrucegL:
Yes the charging light on the dock does come on I thought I saw what looked like a light on the tablet. So the dock is charging and working just fine.

A battery like this? (I would put the URL but its not letting me since I'm new.

I'm not super good would opening stuff up how hard would the battery be to replace? I did see a thread on opening the unit itself looked complex. Also Any more trouble shooting I should do? I may just buy a replacement off ebay and sale my old one. Also can you tell me if its bricked or not or whatnot? I just don't want to put out fifty bucks for a battery and not have it work
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lethe6:
Well if it won't turn on, it's difficult to troubleshoot further. The general rule is: As long as you can get it in APX mode, it's not bricked; with hardware issues as the only exception. In theory, it should power on with an empty battery (and start the charging process), but I have no idea about a dead battery or how the unit is made to handle such cases. Give it some time I'm sure someone else here can answer that question from experience.

Replacing the tablet battery is not too hard, but it's a long task that requires patience and some tools. There's some videos on youtube and others about how to open the unit safely without damage, and decent tools are cheap assuming you don't have precision tools. By opening it you can troubleshoot it a little more. Inspect the battery for physical damage, like being oversized, which means it's likely dead. If it looks in good shape, try disconnecting and reconnecting it to the board; sometimes reseating a connector solves the issues. Also look for any obvious damage inside while you're there. Even if you don't know much about electronics, an obvious burn mark on the board is never a good sign.

If after all that it still won't power on, then yes you could check out ebay. Just make sure lots of people have bought the same from this buyer (the more the better) and they gave positive reviews for the product (stuff like "still works after a year"). Make sure it specifies it supports the tf101 and it should be fine.

Honestly from what you described in the original thread, I wouldn't be surprised if over-amp or something like that damaged the battery. Hopefully it's only the battery but as I explained, it's rather hard to troubleshoot. From personal experience developing boards like that, there are usually protections in the device to prevent damage in case of over/reverse voltage/amp. Depending where the battery is connected in the circuit sometimes it's protected sometimes it's not. I have no idea how Asus do it so take it with a grain of salt.

Can you provide said phone-charger specs? Volts/amps/exact model?

Edit: P.S. The device or dock will not charge through USB. You need the actual wall charger.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrucegL:
The phone charger that it was plugged into was a Galaxy S charger. 5v===0.7A. Doesn't seem high enough to have done anything...but I'm definitely no expert. (Literally)

Sounds like its a good idea to open it up then to check on the battery, if burned or oversized then I will buy a new one (As long as I don't see burnt marks) If the battery looks fine I'll try the reconnect. And cross hy fingers. Thanks for all your help so far. Any advice on where to buy the tools? Deal Extreme good for that Amazon?
