[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
I honestly think that people who crack their screens don't have the knowledge or the money to replace them, hence they try and make themselves feel better about it with this psycho-babble hipster nonsense. ;)

Eww there's an iPhone in the nexus 4 forums, I'm telling the moderator about your sick and twisted posts...
[Nexus 4 General] DaveinAsia:
That could very well be the explanation for some of them. After all, my read of the subjects the article was referring to tended to be young smartphone owners. Of course history teaches us that trends are usually started by the younger generation. I'm sure the first pair of jeans with knee tears weren't first worn by the 40-something crowd. Probably a couple of young indigant hipsters cruising around town with their well-worn jeans. I doubt very much we're going to see people intentionally cracking their phone screens like some of us used to take scissors to newer jeans to create the same effect, but then again I never thought that my then 60+ year old dad would be at Levis looking at their distressed jeans collection.

Not advocating a position. Just posting the article for discussion.
[Nexus 4 General] fone_fanatic:
Many of my friends have shattered their iPhone's digitizers but still have full touch functionality. I've replaced several of their screens because repair shops have quoted them $80-100 and I told them if they buy it off eBay for around $25 I'll install it for them. If I didn't offer they'd probably still have shattered screens just because they aren't willing to pay a shop that much to replace them.

Recently my little brother shattered his n4's digitizer and it wouldn't detect touch on half the screen. Later that day he dropped it again and lost touch completely. So he has to replace it.
[Nexus 4 General] K0WAWA:
It's self consolation while inside their heart they are crying. If my N4 back cracks I probably going to buy dbrand skin, instead of proudly showing how careless I am.
[Nexus 4 General] InsaneCheese:
I know I'm super clumsy. So my N4 has been in some form of hard case since I could get my hands on one. Currently loving my Seidio Convert. I'd rather not have to send another N4 back.
[Nexus 4 General] Johmama:
My phone is completely naked, not even screen protectors, and I have yet to contract a scratch. Last night I came close, I dropped it off of my bed and the face of it hit the cross-leg stabilizer beam thing (I'm sure there's a name for it, too lazy to Google) of my bed-side table, which is metal. I yelled an obscenity very loudly and panicked. Lucky for me, it didn't even get hairline scratch.

If I were to shatter the back of my N4, I would try to keep it just because, but I know myself too well. Given a week or two I'd order another back and repair it myself. Especially since there are so many guides on here, and elsewhere, that give step-by-step instructions on how to take the phone apart and replace parts. Most are written by people that did it themselves, too so they point out what to look for, where to be super careful, etc. If the front got more than hairline scratches, I would replace it immediately. I would stare at the scratch anytime I looked at my phone and would go insane if I didn't.
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
"Son, I noticed your screen is cracked. Are you using drugs?"
[Nexus 4 General] swimdude1120:
True that. I'm waiting for replacement parts for the white nexus to start becoming mainstream. That way I can just switch between the black, or white nexus 4 since that is the only difference with the phone is the back housing.
[Nexus 4 General] techferret:
I worry about the youth sometimes...
[Nexus 4 General] Chris_n00bz:
Crack in my $550 Nexus 4?? Oh no my friend, I won't allow it... I'm waiting for the moment Rhino Shield or Sir Lancelot is able to meet production demand and will order screen protector from them to replace my current one. It's better to be safe than sorry
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
Have to say I'm with both camps. If I cracked it I'd be pissed off but at the same time as the phone cheap in comparison to other handsets I wouldn't be in a rush to repair it as I need it every day. If I could use another phone then I'd get it repaired (or do it myself).

It was only £289 to be honest...a £500+ phone would be a different story! I'm so anal about my phone I wouldn't break it in the first place, though! :D

Flip side, my best mate (who earns probably double what I do) has destroyed his iPhone but can't be bothered getting it fixed as it still works...
[Nexus 4 General] md1008:
I tend to break electronics so I would pay for a repair. Shattered glass is an eye sore so I would eventually repair it. Also if it was just the back glass like the iphone or nexus I wouldn't care probably just put a caseon it
[Nexus 4 General] N10AP:
Certain phones are better with cracks in the screen. Like an iPhone. I enjoy seeing my mates broken iPhone along side my gleaming Nexus :P

iPhones are actually even better if they have been ran over or gone for a swim...
[Nexus 4 General] 530farm:
i prefer fixing it
[Nexus 4 General] lowandbehold:
$550?? How did you get such a great deal?
[Nexus 4 General] Chris_n00bz:
That's the price of N4 3 months ago here in my country. Have I told you that we don't have such thing like "2-years contract" here? So, we buy S4 at around $700 outright (unless we use credit card and turn it into installment loan)...lol. Well, at least we don't bother with unlocking the phone and it's easy to switch between carriers
[Nexus 4 General] ericshmerick:
My boss has a busted ass Moto-something on Verizon. It's a spiderweb. He uses it like he doesn't even notice.

OCD overdrive for me. The guy makes over $200k, yet is too cheap to buy a new phone. Unreal.
[Nexus 4 General] mmduluth:
I cracked my screen 3 days after getting the phone (didn't realize it was so slippery when I put it in my pocket and it slid right out) and even with the tiny little crack the screen was completely unresponsive. Good luck cracking the screen on this phone and still trying to use it.
[Nexus 4 General] 3UR0TR45H:
My friend used a busted iPhone so long he had a grid of cuts in his thumb...maybe they are emo cutters, not hipsters.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Problem with the N4 is that the in-cell touch display means that if you crack it, it will more than likely stop working.
[Nexus 4 General] Infekxion:
I know people that easily spend $100+ at the bar 3 to 4 nights a week but the thought of buying or repairing one the single most important things in their life is unheard of.

I've been using my N4 without screen cover nor LG bumper for 4 months. (No nibs here).

FRONT: Like New.

BACK: 1 or 2 scratches so i decided to use "XtremeGuard" just on the back and now it's fine.

The only blind spot it has.....is the back camera sensor / flash.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] pena_leve:
Hi, :D

Need some help on the subject. Recently have been in another country with the roaming on. Now every time i try to send or receive an MMS the XDA just says: "cannot connect.. if you use a modem to connect to your ISP, ensure that is inserted correctly. To connect to your network, you must create a modem (dialup) connection or a VPN connection. To create a connection tap settings".

Have done, but nothing seems to work.

At tools/options i see that the connect via is correct, BUT, connect to server just apears 2 networks from another country...

So, any change to delete all the settings and old networks so the sim can "read" from my network?

Any replys will be much obliged!

:?
[LG Optimus Black] hemo-ali:

But am on V30b which has gestures built-in which are very useful I don't want to disable them all I want to add new gesture to them which play or pause music as you connect or disconnect headset

how to do this?

I'm rooted already has cwm

thnx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnit0:
Hey All,

I definitely hard bricked my phone, I've tried everything on XDA, every Odin, every stock and rooted rom in combination with different Pit's, baselines etc.. etc..

Not sure if I am rooted anymore or unrooted since I have installed so many Rom's.. My screen gets stuck on Samsung Logo, I can only get into Download Mode (Odin Mode) and I am sure of that.

I started off trying to install a custom rom, things went bad, after it all went bad i realized my mistakes reading, upon reading XDA.

My question for all you wonderful people on XDA is.. what do i do now with a paper weight? Do i keep trying and Beat it till it works, or replace the motherboard? & if i replace the mobo can i simply get an AT&T Mobo on this Verizon? (I have at&t, its an unlocked Verizon phone).. & where do I go to do it? (cheapest place please, totally not rich)

more info:

can't partition in odin/ i always encounter some sort of error in the middle of trying to do anything with odin.. I am only successful when i install the 66root file, and if I select the 'T Flash' option in odin it sometimes works with other roms.. but no matter what I still get stuck on the Logo Screen

list of what i have tried:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
If you can still access Download Mode then you arent truly hard bricked.

If you havent tried it you need to try flashing the PIT file. There is also the "alternative recovery method" that you should try. I think flashing the PIT file, which I believe is in one of Adams casual posts, will get you back on track but I might be wrong. Hopefully someone else will stroll through and be abke to give you a bit more help than me.

As for the first 2 urls, NEVER EVER EVER use root methods that are not on XDA. Not many people have experience with them and they could be potentially dangerous.

You also need to specify exactly what all you have tried out of those threads instead of just linking the thread.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] barrackOBAMA:
I had this problem.

And I just used another computer and it worked fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
If the PIT and alternate recovery method don't work or wouldn't hurt to try it on a different computer as barrackOBAMA suggests. If that doesn't work we can always try something else. The most important thing is to stay calm. These phones are incredibly hard to hard brick, and as long as you can get into Download Mode it can usually be fixed. It might be a long process but it'll be free where if you bought a motherboard it would cost you more money.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnit0:
thanks guys, I really do appreciate the help and I have no problem testing any method thrown my way, if you guys were to tell me to throw it at a pigeon, I probably would do it. I have tried on 3 different VM's.. not sure if thats really considered a "different machine" or not.. I am in the middle of restoring my old dell laptop to try it on that.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Lemme ask you this, do you have Kies installed? My friend had the same issue with his N2 where it would freeze in Odin and do nothing else at all after it said getting PIT for mapping. He finally had to bring it over to me and use my computer to root it, his is the AT&T version, and even though he had Kies installed he couldn't get the phone to connect right. He finally had to install Kies and all the drivers and them reinstall Kies first then the standalone drivers that were linked and after that everything worked. That may be worth a shot. I also know a lot of people have issues using VM machines and Windows 8, it seems everything works smoothest on Windows 7.

As for boring the emmc, you may have but like I said earlier it's really hard to screw this phone up so I really think it is just an issue with VM ware or possibly you haven't flashed the right file that it needs yet. We'll figure it out though hopefully, it will just take some trial and error.

Have you tried the alternate restore method? If not I will link it, it seems to fix a lot of people's phones when nothing else will.

Honestly I think it is something with the computers you're using and the drivers being wonky as usual.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnit0:
Hey Shangrila, appreciate you helping me, I am going to try and completely uninstall all drivers for Samsung, uninstall kies, install drivers and test, if it doesn't work, re-install kies and drivers. I have tried to restore with and without kies, and all over again. I will try again but this time i will completely wipe all drivers and re-install note 2 drivers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] meat614:
May I ask what the first step that you did was that bricked it? You are stuck on the samsung logo flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnit0:
It started with a trade on craigslist. Traded my at&t iPhin 5 (i love you man insider) for this Verizon sch-i605 unlocked. I had no idea if it were able to accept custom roms or not, but i do know it was rooted (used supersu) i am a highly tech savvy guy but i don't know **** about android. I did a factory restore from setting, I then tried to install casual, downloaded it and ran it but it kept erroring so i then went and tried to upload a mod on sdcard and went to recovery mode wipe device and cache.. after that it stopped working. tried to install all sorts of roms, boot loaders, pits and what not. now all i get is error after error, either nand error or getting pit mapping halt. for some reason root66 is the only rom that is successfull but without pit file. and not sure what "T Flash" is on Odin, but some roms work while that is checked.

some roms i have tried:

CI605_I605VRLJB_I605VRALJB_CL414933_HWID04_HW_Rev0406_low_ship_user.tar.md5

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
If I can help I most definitely will. This sounds exactly like a driver issue thoug because it isnt able to communicate with the phone yo get the PIT for mapping. That was the same exact thing that happened with my friends phone on his laptop when I was setting everything up and showing him how to use Odin to root his phone, it would show up on a port and act like it would work but it would freeze every single damn time on the getting PIT for mapping part and wouldn't do anything else until I unplugged the phone and then it would say failed.

The main thing that helped him was wiping the drivers completely though and then just reinstalling Kies, I think he installed the other drivers after that but i can remember for sure, and it finally worked perfectly. I only have Kies on my laptop, I dont have the second set of drivers, but if you cant get it to work with just Kies try installing the other set and then test it again. You may even have to launch Kies for it to install the drivers correctly, it's been so long I can't remember that part either. Just install Kies first without the other set of drivers, launch Kies and make sure everything is set up with Kies, and see if that works. If not then install the 2nd set and try to use Odin again.

Also what OS are you doing all this on? If it's Windows 7 then it may take a little playing with the drivers to get it right. Also which version of Odin are you using? I cant get the newest version to work correctly on my laptop so that could also be part of it. Have you tried the alternative restore method? While I am 99% site it is the drivers it is always best to cover all bases.

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:06 PM ----------

Watch what you check in Odin. You are ONLY supposed to check what is told in the guide, NONE OTHER! Thats a really good way to mess things up and make it harder to fix!

Can you boot into recovery? If so is there a nandroid you could try restoring?

none stop

What do you mean by none stop? Did you mean non stop? Or they aren't stopping? Sorry for asking, just a little late and I had a long day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gnit0:
I meant i have been trying those none stop, ive tried to restore with those files atleast 10 times..

I tried to uninstall drivers and kies and then restoring but i got nothing, then tried with newly installed kies... and nothing as well.. arggg

still stuck on Get Pit Mapping

& no, i cannot get into recovery... just stays at the samsung gn 2 logo screen, and if i hold up button home and power, it just shuts off and on again... even if i release power button when i see the logo... stays at logo
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Also this is the alternative method I was talking about:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2040264

In the first post there is a link that says alternative restore, it has a different sboot so it will leave you unlocked. It works a lot when the PIT doesnt, its worth a shot. I still think its drivers but im throwing everything I can out so maybe you'll be able to use your phone, I know how it is to not have one to use until you can fix yours.

---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 PM ----------

What OS are you using? Are you using VMware right now? It still sounds like a driver issue, is there any chance you have a different computer with Windows 7 installed that you could try if the alternative restore method I linked a minute ago doesn't work?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
The rooted Jelly Bean ATTI747UCDLK3 ROM that I have installed in my AT&T SGSIII had Google+ integrated in the ROM. With previous Google+ updates all I did was integrate the update to the ROM using Tibu and Google+ continued to work without any issues. Now after integrating the Google+ 4.0.0.46852618 update into the ROM, Google+ fails to sign in and stops with the message "Unfortunately Google+ has stooped". The only way I can get it to work is to uninstall Google+ from the ROM and install Google+ in the internal SD card. Any suggestions as to what might be causing this? I have deleted the app data, deleted cache, deleted Dalvik cache and tried integrating it before and after I configured it. I doubt is lack of storage as the application data is always stored in the SD which has about 2GB of free space. I integrated Google+ 4.0.0.46852618 into the ROM of my Nexus 7 and it works fine.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] BWolf56:
Most likely because you don't do a clean flash (wipe data/factory reset), which would uninstall the one you have before trying to install/flash the new one.

If it gets to be too much of a problem, you can always go remove it before flashing the ROM with a program like 7zip.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tamanaco:
I guess I forgot to mention that before I install it on the internal SD card I used TiBu to uninstall the previous version from the ROM. I don't think a factory reset is needed as the application "works fine" when it's installed on the internal SD card. I'll wait for the next version of Google+ before I try to integrate it again or for the next ROM update from AT&T if it happens before I switch phones.

As far as I can tell these sticks go by different names from different manufacturers so there is not much (if any) differences between your stick and what any mk809ii sticks apparently have. Same dual core chip, 1GB ram, 4 or 8gb of storage etc. So if it was me I would not worry to much.

Open system menu by dialing 3845#*980#, go down the list, find items "High temperature property OFF" and "Thermal mitigation daemon OFF", check them both to Enabled ON state. PROFIT! I don't know maybe the reboot is needed or not. But with thermal mitigation daemon disabled you can achieve as high as 24700 in Antutu and the screen would not dim in hot conditions anymore

And of course don't forget that if you damage your phone somehow by overheating it or shorten you battery capacity its not us to blame. Be a reasonable guy with your hardware

Of course tweak can be applied to any LG Phone, say to E970, for example

So this doesn't increase the cpu speed from 1700 to 1900? How fast will the cpu run to achieve 24000+ score on Antutu?
