[Nexus 4 General] RedBlueGreen:
Even if they announce the "nexus 5" later this year you will still hold out? It will probably be the same price range and you could still sell the N4 for an ok amount of money.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
I will only upgrade if it has a removable battery, 1080P, LTE, and 32/64GB.
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
I'm gonna hold out as well. As for the resale. Once the 5 is for sale I'm expecting the resale to drop by at least 30%. This device has the hardware to stay up to date for at least another year.

[Nexus 4 General] PikkonX:
No real need to upgrade for me. The rumored changes are LTE, 4.3, and more storage. We already have LTE (I get 25Mbps down in an unannounced LTE city), we know 4.3 is going to hit this device shortly after its unveiling, and I'm fine with 16GB storage.
[Nexus 4 General] gotzaDroid:
I don't really miss LTE. Sure, it's nice for downloading files quicker, but I really don't notice a difference in how fast web pages load. The only way though that I could upgrade would be if the current N4 retains some resale value.
[Nexus 4 General] partylikeaninjastar:
The only thing that would interest me is a bigger battery. I could care less about LTE. I don't need an additional radio killing my battery even faster. As for more storage? Not necessary. I don't keep a bunch of junk on my phone and only one nandroid so I regularly have between 2 and 4 GB free.

if itll have 32gb and better battery, im gonna upgrade. otherwise im sticking with the 'old' one, dont care about lte (hspa+ is perfectly enough) and im happy with the camera.

I already get t mo lte and all my music is on Google play so to me unless there's like a 64gb I wouldn't even think of it I'm more interested in what the new N7 will be like
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Unless it's a HTC One-esque nexus with on-screen buttons and LTE; I'll be sticking with the N4.
[Nexus 4 General] efan3719:
Upgraded internals, better screen, and a 32 or 64 GB option and I'm all over it. Lovely thing about a GSM phone. I'll just sell it for almost what in paid for it and turn around and get a new phone.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisrozon:
Give me double the battery life and I'll think about it, otherwise put me down for the N6 :)
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
I'm good with the awesome N4 until the N5 hopefully arrives in the Fall...
[Nexus 4 General] jtwlbz:
N4 is beautiflly designed and perfect. Maybe lte support. Htc is garbage.
[Nexus 4 General] jcarlm:
I will upgrade if there is a better camera and the camera itself will have to be a big upgrade.
[Nexus 4 General] Crisisx1:
Yup...no way I'm I paying another 380$ for small upgardes... That's a total of $760 for a nexus 4? No thanks! Rather get an s4 or wait for the note 3 lol
[Nexus 4 General] driedrice:
well...

at the moment you can sell a 16gb n4 for about $280-290 right. not a bad "down payment" towards new hotness.
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
To keep prices low they have to sacrifice certain components, we won't get an updated camera on a rehash of the N4 not just yet. Google have said previously they will focus on the camera but certainly won't happen on the N4.
[Nexus 4 General] uploder:
If they drop the rumored white N4 and include the orb free plus I can sell my current N4 quickly yeah i'd upgrade. But since none of this is happening I wont be upgrading :p Just gimmie 4.3 and we're square google. Dont really care about any other announcements.
[Nexus 4 General] Mohit12:
you gave them $380, and they gave you this beast of a phone. I think you're already square.
[Nexus 4 General] ingenious247:

[Nexus 4 General] espionage724:
If I can return my current Nexus 4 (purchased about a week or two ago), then I'd gladly put that money + some for an upgraded Nexus 4.

It depends on what is actually upgraded though. I don't care for LTE, since I live nowhere near a LTE area.
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
i don't think replacing n4 with upgraded n4 is such a good idea, n5 will be out by the end of the year, and until then, n4 will get all posible updates from google and even when n5 comes out, it will still work like a charm.
[Nexus 4 General] uploder:
look at the tone of my whole post. Of course I was joking. lighten up ;)
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
White N4 will probably be a special gift for I/O attendees doubt we'd see a retail version. They did something similar last year.
[Nexus 4 General] Carter0108:
If there's a 32GB version I'm buying it to replace my GS3.
[Nexus 4 General] :
I'm fine with h+. The camera isn't too far off from my hox (which was a great camera) and I've learned to live with 16GB. I don't need LTE on a 200mb/month plan. An increase in storage would be nice, but just that isn't a reason for me to upgrade

Then they are going to be worth a fortune on ebay. Remember the old T-mobile G1 with the droid pattern on the back? They are still selling for quite a lot despite the fact that their hardware is obsolete by today's standards.
[Nexus 4 General] NardVa:
At this point if you already have a Nexus 4 why spend money on the same phone again. Might as well put that money towards the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 4 General] d4c:
No chance I will be buying an upgraded version. Just got my shiny new n4 a week ago.
[Nexus 4 General] BrianDigital:
Probably people with more money than sense,
[Nexus 4 General] corwest:
I'm waiting to order my N4 till after I/O to see if they are indeed updating it. That's pretty much the only reason or I'll gladly buy the OG one.

Lovin' the LG Nexus 4

I've only had the NX4 a short while and love its speed and general feel. The NX S with a Wrapsol skin had the better feel, but I'm about to use BestSkinsEver, so I'll let you know if this works with the WCP400 wireless charging orb. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Covarrubias:
In my opinion for average people the Nexus have the best price/performance/characteristics ratio in the market and most people paying double the price for an S4 it´s not because they need it, it´s only because they can buy it.

The Nexus 4 has been only released for less than year. The update is so fast.

Samsung Galaxy S4 on Google Play

Next month, we are adding a new Android device to the store to join our current lineup of Nexus phones and tablets. We’ve worked closely with Samsung to create a special Samsung Galaxy S4 exclusively for Google Play. It brings together cutting edge hardware from Samsung with Google’s latest software and services -- including the user experience that ships with our popular Nexus devices. Starting June 26, it will be available with no contract for $649, supporting both T-Mobile and AT&T, with LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] SysAdmNj:
There definitely wont be shortages with that price tag. :D

Not sure why they are waiting until June 26.
[Nexus 4 General] I Am Marino:
If it was even remotely cheaper, I'd jump on it, but that price? Not a chance.
[Nexus 4 General] corwest:
No upgrade announced. OG N4 ordered :)
[Nexus 4 General] uploder:
this will no doubt be a good phone but its not enough for me to upgrade. finally all of the people *****ing about storage can go get this and shut up lol.
[Nexus 4 General] lwfb:
So this screenshot is from the new Hangouts. Notice the 4G in the status bar...

I thought it could be from a Galaxy Nexus, but the other screenshots are from the Nexus 10 and 7, so it makes sense that it's the Nexus 4. Perhaps an update with LTE will be coming out? Or maybe someone at Google is using an old radio with the LTE fix :p

Food for thought...
[Nexus 4 General] Smallsmx3:
Our it could be from the s4 dev phone
[Nexus 4 General] lwfb:
With the software buttons enabled through the build prop...?

GS4 GE has the same hardware buttons as every other Galaxy device.
[Nexus 4 General] danyjohn:
the most function is video call by carrier network,

such as samsung galaxy can do. and almost all windows mobile phone can do that. (not windows phone 7 or 8)

maybe next phone i will purchase galaxy instead
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
This is not enabled for all carriers. Just because it is a galaxy do enter mean it is able to do it.

[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
I don't need the latest and greatest, but that is a bonus. As long as the phone doesn't develop any problems, I usually keep the same phone for 1.5 - 2 years.
[Nexus 4 General] Logomotph:
I got mine yesterday and I love it. Don't need LTE and 16gb is enough for me. Camera's OK, too. It's a powerhouse and I really don't see how they could make it much better... except for putting gorilla glass on the back.

It can easily get at least 2 more years of updates....unless phones suddenly switch to quantum computing.

[Nexus 4 General] faith1453:
I don't like that companies try to do little upgrades on previous phones in order to sell them again. That reminds me of the Apple strategy and the iPhone/iPhoneS.

And especially since the Nexus 4 already has an LTE chip (not activated tho), i don't think that this was a necessary step. They could've sold the Nexus 4 as an LTE-Phone right away.

I will rather wait for a Nexus 5 instead of buying an upgraded Version.
[Nexus 4 General] Sandata:
Ill just wait for note3 nexus edition or nexus5

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
I appreciate the amount of information you're providing, but you're just giving too much information (or should I say too much writing?)

I don't mean you should never provide lots of information, I am saying you should provide all the information which are relevant.

Anyway, since your friend said that the device was not functioning properly on windows mobile, it could indicate a hardware problem. I suggest you flash back windows mobile and see if the problem is hardware related. If it is, we won't have to troubleshoot Android, CWM, or MAGLDR.

Report back.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pelskikker:
Hello Marvlesz,

Thanks for the suggestions.

I reflashed the original ROM, I used a ROM from the HTC website.

Unfortunately this does not make the phone usable, so I start to wonder if it indeed is a hardware error. The first time it was a successful flash, but it keeps resetting itself at about the 'enter PIN' field. After a task 28 I reflashed the same ROM and now it comes no further as the HTC screen.

As windows phone has loaded after the first flash I am assuming (H)SPL cannot do this, after loading Windows the secondary bootloader has already done it's work. And as the Radio is in the ROM this should be current (and functional) too.

Note: I did multiple task 28's the regular one but also the task 28 55aa.

I fear the phone will not be recoverable as it is more or less stock now and still not functional, I am almost certain it is a hardware error.

Regarding the big pile of text, I believe you are right. I posted a humongous amount of text.

I divided it in two sections, the actual question which is quickly readable and a phone output section out of which everybody can pick what he or she wants to see :).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Marvlesz:
What is task28? I have never heard of that.

...

*Does research*

...

Nope, couldn't find anything of interest. Could you please tell me what task28 is?

Maybe you mean task29? But task29 doesn't have a 55aa alternative.

Anyway, although I highly doubt it, it could be HSPL. Uninstall it, and install a stock ROM then see how it works.

Your problem is weird, and with no background of the device, it could be anything.

By the way, when the phone was "acting strange" in your friend's hands, was it overheating?

Since you said the device worked fine using the same setup a few months ago, I'd say it's hardware related.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pelskikker:
Thanks for the suggestions once again. Though I really do not know why flashing HSPL back to stock SPL fixed the phone it now works again.

What did I do? I took the same rom that I flashed the last two times and did not work, but this time instead of doing it trough the pc I extracted the file and only used the leoimg file, put it on SD, booted in bootloader mode and this way not only the rom itself but also SPL was flashed.

And now the phone works again :).

I however do think I am not going to put Android back on it for now. I will give him back a working windows phone or, if he no longer needs it (as he bought another phone this morning) I will use it for testing more fun mod stuff. Maybe it will start to fail again, but now I know how to make it work again (and it's actually rather easy trough SD). Though I am really curious now if it really was the SPL that was causing problems (it was the only non stock item left) and if flashing a new HSPL would fix the device for android use.

Regarding task28, I took that from the 'Hermes Bootloader Commands' doc file. By typing task28 in mtty it formats the NAND memory, by using the command task28 55aa it formats the nand memory and the "partion". I did notice that mtty gave a different output if I added 55aa, it included more blocks in the formatting process if I remember correctly.

Thanks again, the phone is working :o

I would recommend making sure when you copy the app from /system/app to /data/app that the app has the correct permissions, before you copy the app use an applications such as Root Browser to check what app permissions are required (By app permissions I mean Linux file permissions) then when you copy it to the /system/app folder make sure that the app has the proper file permissions set or else it won't function properly. Also some app's should only run as system apps and shouldn't be moved to the /data/app folder or else they won't function properly.

Hello guys,

Sorry if there is already a thread like this. I searched the forum before, but the Tapatalk search function is really bad.

So: how is the audio quality? Can it replace a Cowon iAudio player? Sony is a big player in terms of sound equipment, so I put quite much hope in them.

I am not one of this guys whose spend lots of money in things like cables and portable amps. But I have really high requirements in sound quality, my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 could not satisfy me, neither my iPod classic.
