[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dizzy167:
I found a page which I can't link because of restrictions,(if you want to look Google "Reversing Samsung’s IrdaManager on Android") but it contained the following code:

try {
Object irdaService = this.getSystemService("irda");
Class c = irdaService.getClass();
Class p[] = {String.class};
Method write = c.getMethod("write_irsend", p);

EditText te = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.sendSeq);
write.invoke(irdaService, te.getText().toString()); // second argument here is the user provided string
} catch (Exception e) {
Toast.makeText(this, e.toString(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}

Which allows the user to blast their own Ir sequences by specifying the speed rate in bps, followed by the height of subsequent peaks in the waves like so:

“38400,100,100,200,200″

[Nexus 4 General] slugger09:
So got my Nexus 4 16GB during the week, its my first ever Nexus phone however have had a variety of Android phones from the HTC Desire right up to Galaxy S2, have to say I am not 100% sold on the Nexus.

I used to think skins where unnecessary but since getting the Nexus I have come to realise how much more user friendly they make things, simple things like pulling down the notification bar to put in aeroplane mode, orientation screen lock etc, or perhaps battery percentage up beside the battery?

My battery also seems to drain very fast, and I am not using the phone any differently than I did my galaxy S2, auto sync turned of and all the rest.

The camera while being 8mp acts like 5mp at best for some reason, Its not a patch on my SGS2, Ok I only take photos for instagram etc and its fine for that.

When you got your N4 did you instantly fall in love or did it take a while to grow on you? I'm not convinced yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Nigeldg:
But skins are so incredibly ugly and IMO they don't make the phone that much more user friendly (definitely not enough to justify their appearance and sluggishness). TouchWiz on the GS4 still looks like it's meant to run on Gingerbread and it causes random lag where no modern phone should have any trouble.

The quick settings in the notification bar are there, and I think it's just as good an implementation on stock because you can see more of your notifications at any one time. In TouchWiz they take up about half of the notification tray with quick settings, in stock a two fingered swipe or a tap in the top right corner will take you to them. You can edit them and make them easier to get to using a custom ROM, and while you may argue that you shouldn't

have

to do that it's ludicrously straightforward on a Nexus device.

A custom kernel should also fix your battery drain. I'm getting through a day without any issues and I'm perfectly happy with that. Currently my phone has had 1 day 1 hour of usage with 1 hr 30 minutes screen on time and 45% battery left. Note that the screen was on full brightness during this and Wifi and auto sync were left on.

When you say it acts like 5MP do you mean that the quality is crap or that it's literally taking photos at a 5MP size? If it's the first then that's true and there's really nothing that can be done. If it's the latter then open the camera, press anywhere on the screen to bring up the circle control, go to the settings option (the one that looks like a bunch of sliders) and change the picture size to 8MP.

Personally, I loved my N4 from the moment I got it. After calibration the screen was just about the best I'd seen (and I flashed it straight away, only used stock for a minute or two), it was the smoothest Android experience I had ever had and (unlike my HD2) everything just worked flawlessly for me.
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Best phone I ever owned.

Flash a rom + kernel to get the features you're missing. If no likey, return and purchase other phone.

Tip: don't continue with praising skins of HTC or Samsung instead of aosp. Will only get you flamed.. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] dweekie:
Sounds about right. The best feature is being bland and featureless with the greatest potential to be customized. You are just at the most basic, boring, least impressive starting point. The rest is kind of up to you. Just my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] Nigeldg:
I'd take this supposed 'blandness' any day over slow, sluggish and ugly OEM skins.
[Nexus 4 General] br0ok1ynb0i:
There are many things on this phone that make it great, such as the screen, silky smoothness and more. But first thing out of the box I was a bit disappointed as well because it has no battery percentage. It annoyed me because I can't tell how much battery life I have left unless I download a widget or pull down the bar. But, I ended up flashing the percentage mod, then flashing kernel, then a rom. Now I can't look back. Battery life got better, colors on my screen got even better and best of all I got a percentage on my battery.

If you compare the battery to something like GS3, this is better, so you might just have to let the phone settle in.
[Nexus 4 General] raqball:
Skins like Sense and TW only bloat the system. You will get use to the pure experience pretty quick and then you will grow to hate skins :)

I have always carried my devices naked (the device not me) and don't have any issues with the Nexus naked. It's a bit slippery but you will adjust to that quickly and hold the device a bit tighter.

The battery starts off horrid! It really takes several drain and recharge cycles for the battery to get up to par. Mine makes it through the day just fine now.

Mega pixels don't really mean much if you are not developing poster sized photos. Try using HDR mode and see if you like the photos better.

My .02
[Nexus 4 General] fernandezhjr:
Did you not even do any research before getting this phone?? This is vanilla android and most people get this phone for that reason. If you are used to some added skins like Thouchwhiz, Sense, or Motoblur and like that, you should have stuck with one of those phones. Otherwise, root the phone and get to modding and theming or install a cost rom that is feature rich.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny.ns:
Hi!

1. The airplane mode is there. Just swipe down the notification bar with TWO fingers. Then you get lots of toggle-settings including the airplane mode. The orientation screen lock is not there though. HOWEVER; installing custom ROMs will most likely ADD many more features in the toggles area (like orientation) and so forth.

2. For battery drain, try flashing a custom kernel, such as Franco.Kernel. Not only does it improve battery, but you may calibrate your screen (his app includes a preset for lovely colors + deep blacks), and much more. If you want you can undervolt/overclock as well. Note that you can have a custom kernel while still keeping the STOCK rom installed (default andoird 4.2.2 for example).

I personally enjoy stock android (so I haven't installed a ROM), but i felt francos kernel REALLY improved the device. The battery is improved (doesnt drain as much, nor does the phone heat up as much as before). Also the colors of the screen turned really wonderful aftering being calibrated to 2.2gamma.

Basicly, if you are unhappy, look into some ROMs and kernels. You can find almost anything you want :good:
[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
Different strokes, different folks.. OP gave it a shot and gave an honest, un-smug opinion... It is what it is. Some people just like the gloss on top.. Nothing wrong with that.
[Nexus 4 General] anirudh412:
Instant love with the N4. Sold it away after a couple of months, went around owning other phones like the iPhone 5, Note 2, GS3, Xperia ZL. Have now come back to the N4. But then again, I knew what I was getting into coz I had the GNex before this.

The point of stock android, is not that it offers features other skins dont. What makes it attractive is that it offers a solid, no BS foundation to which you can add tweaks and functionality suited individually to YOU. You say you want Airplane mode in quick settings, maybe battery percentage next to the battery? Guess what there is a tweak for that and much more. But what happens when you are on TW and you dont want to look like an idiot waving you hands all over the screen in public? Sure you can disable that, but it doesnt mean its gone. Still cramping the software and taking up space. Again, this is just an example. As for battery drain, try kernels like Franco or Trinity. Install BBS and cull out the rogue apps.

You said its your first nexus. Stick around, read and you'll find out what a great piece of hardware this is in perfect sync with the software.
[Nexus 4 General] justin11141:
Definitely the best android phone I've owned, coming from a one x and one s and those were great devices as well. Only problem I see is the battery..I leave school with about 10-30% usually around 3 but other than that I love this phone
[Nexus 4 General] Nigeldg:
Agreed. Btw if anyone thought my posts were meant to be insulting or rude they weren't, they're just my opinions on OEM skins.
[Nexus 4 General] teqvexed:
OP should check out the Power Toggles app on the Play Store for notification bar toggles, works just like Sense type toggles with customizability.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.painless.pc&hl=en
[Nexus 4 General] slugger09:
Yes I think it just needs a few tweaks here and there, not going to the extent of a custom ROM just a kernel etc, first need to work out how to unlock the bootloader and root
[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
Nah not at all. I posted my thoughts without even reading the rest of the replies. I'm just so used to people taking a licking for daring to not like a Nexus I just assumed maybe OP got a little heat. Apparently it was rather civil.. :good: :laugh::victory:
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
I love mine, came from a phone with htc sense, and sense was one of the things that killed "skins" for me. That being said yeah there's pluses and minuses to both. Stock Android is just as capable but your going to have to dig and get some apps from the market to get all the features oems put in their skins. I prefer it that way, I can pretty much make my phone perfect to me. I really feel like with an oem skin you don't get the full customizing experience, and that's why I like raw android. However it's not for everyone. Different strokes for different folks
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
Phones should come with a 24 hour buyers remorse warranty. Just return it if you're not satisfied. Though, if you're willing to follow the rabbit down the rabbit hole, I'm sure you'll be in awe on how much you can do with Android, let alone the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] MidtownHD:
if u really want to unlock the bootloader, you should do it right away, and before actually using the phone, because unlocking it would erase all your personal data (like a phone reset). or you can back up ur phone.

rooting is super easy. 1st, install custom recovery, 2nd, flash supersu zip, and done.
[Nexus 4 General] omnius1:
I really love mine, picked it up over a month ago. I thought LTE would be my major gripe but my carrier supports the N4's DC-HSPA radio so in most areas I can get up to 22-23 mbps download speeds where the S3 was getting around 30 on LTE in the same areas (although much better upload speeds). I'm pretty happy with that considering my older HSPA phone was only getting 6-7 max.

I was strongly considering also owning an LTE phone too since I still haven't used my upgrade yet, but I've played with both the One and the S4 and I simply disliked the button layouts of both phones. I'm going to hold off until one of the OEM's releases a flagship that stays closer to the standard layout. The new Xperia phones do, but they're using basically the same hardware as the Nexus 4 anyway which would basically be a sidegrade+LTE and not a significant upgrade. Looks like my final hopes for owning two phones is going to rest with Motorola or Nexus 5 now. I'm very satisfied with this for now though.

Hi everyone,

well, after having owned some form of XDA for about a year and a half (first XDA, now XDA2) I am still madly in love with it and could not live without it.

One area that I have not yet dabbled in, is the Messenger. I use it regularly on my desktop PC, but never used it on my XDA2. My question is regarding costs;

Is it expensive?

I realize that, when idle, the GPRS costs are next to nothing, but when sending and receiving messages, how much does it cost approx?

Many thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
I must say the costs are quite low.

The sign-on process costs (if I recall correctly) about 40bytes (or was it 40k?)

After that the number of bytes used is as low as you type.

My operator makes me buy blocks of 100k. I could chat quite a while when those were almost gone.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
the price very much differ from country to country and company to company i pay in MB only and it's very expensive imho

3.5 euro pr MB
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
rudegar: can we change? In NL I pay about 1 euro per 100K (inland) and 1,17 euro (abroad).

but still: For 100k you can chat quite a lot.

Especially abroad it might be more interesting the a voice call (roaming calls cost approx 1 euro per minute)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
well i just felt it was alot compared to my gf's subscription where she only pay 1.34 euro pr MB

also she dont pay any monthly fee for the subscription at all

she dont use mms or grps though :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] halnovek:
Vodafone Italy...

Here it's about 6€ pro Mb...

And you pay 0,006€ pro 1Kb rounding at 1Kb...

Otherwise you can join what is called as "GPRS promotion" and you've to pay 20€ for one month without limit!

:shock: :shock: :shock:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Jeenious:
That depends on what tarrif you are on. Id guess that you are on o2 Uk pay monthly. However, it would be impossible for me to guess what tarrif you are on and exactly what data allowance you have built into your price plan.

According to the o2.co.uk site, If you do not have a data tariff attached to your pay monthly price plan, then you get your first 100KB of data usage free each month. Outwith that, its £2.34 per megabyte (1024 KB)

You would have to contact o2 to know for sure what your tarrif is, however rest assured it is much cheaper then text messaging so dont worry too much.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] munkee:
Cool, many thanks to everyone for contributing to this post.

I guess that for short conversations on messenger, it won't cost me too much. In memory size, how much would one line of about 20 words be?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
if it's asccii which i still think most such messengers use

then 1 letter including spaces is

8bit

if it's unicode then it's

16bit

so if you take 20 words and asume that they just have spaces between

then it's 18 spaces == 18*8 (if you asume it's ascii) == 144bit

and then maybe we should say each latter is about

6 letters long it's 20*6*8 == 960bit

1104bit all togther

then lets make it into bytes

1104/8 == 138bytes

so it's not that bad really
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
proof of the pudding is in the eating.

test it:

Put GPRS Monitor on, setup your costs.

Connect Messenger, send some lines

Check GPRS Monitor

Then you really know. (but you will have to invest though . . .)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] munkee:
Cool, thanks :D
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mitchellgunn:
If you have the o2 free wap tarrif you can set messenger to connect using a gsm wap connection. then you dont have to worry about costs at all!!

I have mine set up that way, and its handy when stuck in a traffic jam!! sure beats road rage :lol:
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] edsub:
youre right IF you pay 1 euro for 1MB. I pay 1 euro for 100KB.

That means 1/100 of your number of chars.

At home I use dial-up for internet (goes off my bundle)

Abroad I use gprs (cheaper than dial-up roaming)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Zone-MR:
No, it means 1/10. 1MB=1000kB, so 100kB = 0.1MB.

Even on expensive GPRS tarrifs, MSN messenger is very cheap compared with SMS. 100kB = 100000 ASCII characters, or 1000 short messages each 100 chars (approx 15 words long).
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
1MB == 1024kB

But Zone-MR was right on the vision by 10 instead of 100. I really need my MDAII to calculate!!!!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuartTheFish:
Right, just found it's a Samsung and LG thing. Seems you can edit the secphone.apk if you're rooted, or alternatively you can download an app called "disable increased ring" from the play store. With this app you get a persistent notification that it's running, but then if you go into application manager you can disable notifications for it. I tried the app and it works, no root access or custom rom needed. :)
