No doubt the specs are a bit better, giving it slightly better performance, but by no means is the N4 old. It hasn't even been out a year yet and it's performance is only a small step back, if that. I would still buy it at it's price now or if I wanted something more up to date, I would hold off for the next Nexus later this year.
[Nexus 4 General] drakester09:
The dude has an HTC One, you fell for his baiting. There's very little logical ground to compare two devices separated by several months and price brackets.

Also the argument that GPU performance is equivalent or better N4 on the native resolution is true. One had more pixels to push.

Looking forward for more threads like this... I'm sure that there will always be at least one.

Ps: I'll still be happy with my Nexus until the next one comes. :)
[Nexus 4 General] moon-unit:
Hello all,

Just made it over from the HTC One X+, previously I had a Nexus S. Great to be back on the Nexus trail..........

With regards to the GE phones, not interested at the price, just not worth it to me.
[Nexus 4 General] Logan_M:
Hey, it's a huge step in the right direction. It's what all of us have wanted for quite some time now, and then it comes out and you call it "junk" or "fake Nexus". These phones are what everyone was asking for. And by the way, even if Google isn't handling the OTA's, they should still get updates very fast, since they don't need to be skinned.
[Nexus 4 General] IRX120:
Idk, but I saw a guy with the GS4 running the Google edition ROM scoring 12000 in quadrant. I know benchmarks don't mean **** but the nexus 4 also only gets 5200 in quadrant

Sent from my Nexus 4 @1.944 GHz on Stock 4.2.2
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
But anyone who is using the phones is noticing no difference in performance.

Proof that benchmark apps mean squat.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
When they are running the same software now, you will probably notice a difference especially in app performance.
[Nexus 4 General] Chuckatron:
Why i bought the white nexus 4

One of my biggest issues with these GE phones is they still use hardware navigation buttons. I personally dont like them especially once ubuntu touch is DD worthy those buttons will be useless.
[Nexus 4 General] noobletsausecakebbq:
What if google edition is just purely interface difference but they won't actually be releasing a many updates as a nexus
[Nexus 4 General] Infekxion:
I went back stock on my N4 and there is no difference in performance. Never trusted benchmarks.
[Nexus 4 General] biggiestuff:
It's a double edges sword for me. While I like softkeys better, it'd be nice to have that extra real estate. I don't like pie and tried using the mod that makes your softkeys hide and didn't like it.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
These phones are actually being crippled with the nexus experience. The whole point of touch wiz and sense is all the features they added (gesture control, smart features, blink feed, all the features in camera, etc.) Sure vanilla android is faster but when I had the s3 for a month or so I actually preferred touch wiz to CyanogenMod but that's just my opinion. I purchased the nexus 4 because at the time it had the best specs and a great price and I knew it would be supported with fast updates for at least 1-2 years
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
One of the biggest differences is that they are not updated by Google. Also they don't run pure Android. They have the Oem frameworks

[Nexus 4 General] spitfire2425:
I'm pretty well pissed that HTC is handling the updates. I wanna be able to fully convert my phone into a nexus. That's one of the reasons I bought my phone. Even though HTC is handling the software, my hardware is better! :P what makes me the most mad is it still relies on sense framework... Damn HTC!

Sent from my HTC One
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Well they never said it was gonna be a nexus style device just that it would be a nexus experience. I mean are you really willing to lose the camera? As without their framework you would lose it

Wayne Tech Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] PJcastaldo:
I remember when I got my G1.. So great. Pure Android is the way to go. However its cool that they left a few pieces of framework in place for the Samsung and HTC specialty apps to work..

Of course they're being dropped with an updated version of jellybean.. Marketing is everything. Does this mean they'll get the Nexus upgrade treatment..? No, at least I don't believe so.

But I only just got the N4. Came from an S2. The S3 was nice.. Played with a twiz S4... It was sweet. But I honestly like the N4 over even the newest devices. Assuming T-Mobile grabs the N5 I'll be going that route.

P.s. my note 2 is way more bad ass than any of these phones being discussed.. Even my N4..
[Nexus 4 General] badboy47:
After reading this thread. Me and my N4 are in fight. I was suppose to get updates early.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Guys I see alot of people upset that they didnt get the update first. Well There is no update. Just a leak. It is not something to get upset about.
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
If that is the case you would not a bought a phone with a 4mp camera that is useless without the HTC frameworks.
[Nexus 4 General] cocreateguid:
I love everything on Nexus 4, except for the barely replaceable battery (it can be replaced but just too hard to do so).

I prefer a phone that can be shutdown completely by pulling the battery, in case something evil happens and the power button does not work... without the ability to totally shutdown the phone, I feel it is not my property.
[Nexus 4 General] 7TimesCursed:
Just zooming by to say the Nexus is the sexiest one
[Nexus 4 General] The_Journeyman:
come on guys... snapdragon 600 is the twin of s4pro. ok it's overpowered, but don't forget that s600 based phones have to push a 1080p resolution... it nearly eliminates any difference in terms of performances... the gpu is the same, the ram is the same... snapdragon 600 is already old, ready to be destroyed by tegra 4 and snapdragon 800.

buying a galaxy s4 google edition now, is a nonsense imho. is the snapdragon 600 worth 300+ extra dollars? of course not. in benchmarks, actually, the s4 pro and the s600 score nearly the same. (xperia z - 20000 / htc one - 23000)... the nexus 4 scores very low in quadrant and antutu (and very high in 3dmark and geekbench actually) just because of software optimization. let's see if they noticed it with android 4.3 ;)
[Nexus 4 General] gunner1937:
I am tempted to interpret the Google statement in the logic of the Mountain View business. The Nexus flavor, in this case, would mean that the GE editions will receive the OTA from Google. The statement says that "they will receive software updates...........". In this case the "they" could apply to the devices not to the manufacturers:)

QUOTE :eek:n background, we will be working very closely with Samsung and HTC on future software updates for these devices and they will receive software updates shortly after a new version is released.UNQUOTE.

I will wait for the Motorola X or the Nexus 5. Whichever comes first:cool:
[Nexus 4 General] _delice_doluca_:
According to this, if one does not want a Nexus phone but still want the AOSP experience; Xperia Z is a way better shot.

Actually, what Sony has been trying to do for pure Google experience was much more logical than these 2 brands' moves right now. They directly shared any necessary code (blobs when drivers are not allowed to be shared) under the name of Project AOSP and let the users to choose without having to buy the same hardware again for a different SW. And since it is the closest AOSP experience to a Nexus, it would only take a few days to have an update after Nexus devices.

But Sony always is the worst at what they do worst; advertising and marketing :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
The oppo is also a good choice. They work closely with the developers and open source everything

Here's what Francisco Franco has to say about this subject

Source: https://plus.google.com/u/0/106873500108976028532/posts/eLtniXGcatE

+Android Police before I start my post let me tell you that I respect your opinion, the post writer's opinion and that my post is not personal, so don't take it like that.

Now with the disclaimer taken care of... this http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-galaxy-s4-and-htc-one-are-missing-the-point/ post is utter bull****. I simply HATE this kind of mentality. So we complain for years and years that we don't want more OEM skins, we ask the OEM's to release their devices without bloat and with stock Android... now that they deliver it you complain. You as in you Android Police, and you as in all the Android users and other online publications that fail to see the real deal about this devices. This is simple:

1 - This is running the Nexus Experience. Nobody ever ever ever said these were Nexuses, therefore why were you expecting Google to update them themselves? They are just running stock Android, and thats it. Be grateful that if you buy one of these devices you'll have timely updates without the carrier approval bull**** always running the latest and greatest after the Nexus devices do, but before any of the others do.

2 - Who gives a crap if there is no HTC or Samsung functionalities here? Nobody does. If you do give a crap you buy the OEM skinned **** version. Why is this so hard to understand? This is the Nexus Experience, there is no bloatware, no bull****, no buzzwords. Nobody cares if its not running the HTC camera app, nobody gives a **** if its not running all that S-Crap or AirView or whatever the hell that is. This is Stock Nexus Experience, deal with it.

3 - "AMG NO AOSP SUPPORTZ". Sigh... Again this is not a Nexus, this is an OEM device with Stock Android. Google is not in charge of these devices HTC and Samsung are, they have the power to choose if they release their binaries or not, or even the Factory Images. The only thing that they are obligated to release are the Kernel sources, which they already did. You guys just want the AOSP code so that you can port them over to the respective OEM'ed SGS4 and HTC ONE. Do you really think Samsung and HTC want that? Kinda obvious. Whats the problem of not having Factory Images? Just unlock it, root it, install a custom recovery, backup everything, save it to your Dropbox/Drive. Done. Also locking and unlocking the bootloader resets everything to factory state.

Lets stop crying about something that is being delivered EXACTLY as intended and lets all be grateful that Google is doing this MAJOR effort to provide us all with Stock Android Experience in these fabulous devices. If I didn't have a Nexus 4 I sure would buy one of these.

Be grateful, stop complaining.
[Nexus 4 General] alphatia:
Don't worry ..the nexus devices always make alot of sales for being special so people buy them and Google is not stupid to take that away...but any way am sticking with the nexus 4 until the next nexus

Have a nice day
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] a18041967:
Can anyone assist with a couple of questions I have:

1. Since installing all the various bits of software on my IIi the screen rotation icon has disappeared from the bottom right of the today screen. Is there a way to get it back?

2. Because of the above, I re programme the camera, button 3 to rotate the screen, however it seems to default back to Camera after a soft reset. Is this a know problem?

Cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] SteveD:
We have been discussing this over on TekGuru. It is a problem others are experiencing as well and so far no one has figured out a way to get it back or what causes it to disapear. Presumably you still have the screen rotation icon on your O2 Active Screen.

If you use or decide to use SPB Pocket Plus, you can use it to put screen rotation icons on your Today Screen.

The other thing to do is to assign it to a hardware button as yu have done. I assigned it to the calendar button when holding it down (I am using Vito's ButtonMapper which allows each hardware button to do two different functions).

It does not default back to the original setting after a soft reset but it may be that the camera button works in a different way.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] a18041967:
Thanks for the update, my only thought on this is that it seemed to disappear after I added the additional software from the o2 CDROM.

Hopefully this will be fixed in the next ROM update, which hopefully will include Blackberry support
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Veranor:
Hey all,

Yes, first post, and yes, I did search for a solution to my problem, but didn't see this one, and didn't like those.

Was having trouble with Google Wallet on CM 10.1. I went to stock (from backup) and pulled that build.prop file for comparison to the CM 10.1 build.prop. There were some discrepancies and I changed the values to what is below.

ro.product.brand=htc
ro.product.name=m7wls
ro.product.device=m7wls
ro.product.name=HTCONE

Removed this line as well.

ro.product.locale.region=US

Saved, then rebooted the phone. Installed Google Wallet. Ran it. Everything worked as expected (says "Unsupported Device" at the top, but I assume its due to being rooted).

I searched for this solution but could not find it. If I posted out of error, please forgive me, I usually only lurk on here.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] blakejohnson86:
I can confirm that this line alone works:

ro.product.device=m7wls
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] a13xemz:
I myself recieve the error "Not Supported"
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rougegoat:
No dice on this end either.

For the record, is the Wallet you are using from the Play Store or is it some third party cracked one?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] blakejohnson86:
I'm fairly certain mine is from the Play store. I'm not 100% on that though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Veranor:
Wallet from the play store. I went through this twice, then updated to the latest nightly and saw that it broke, so I force closed it, deleted cache, updated build.prop, rebooted, and i was able to initialize wallet again just fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rougegoat:
Followed to a T on the most recent nightly, still no dice.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Veranor:
That's bizarre. I can even go back to the build.prop, change the settings back, reboot, and my wallet breaks. I'll double-check the settings to make sure there wasn't something I missed here.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
If you want to kill the unsupported app banner, use MoDaCo Toolkit. I didn't see this issue at all though, so something seems up. You could try the aforementioned toolkit to download an installer and see if that works either.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Veranor:
I've redone this process, only doing one item at a time. Wallet functions when you change the following value.

I tested this by wiping and flushing cache thru recovery, then installing latest nightly.

After that finished, I installed Wallet, verified that it did not work.

Opened build.prop and changed the following property. Force closed Wallet, flushed data. Rebooted.

ro.product.model

from "One" to "HTCONE"

Opened Wallet - completed setup.

The m7spr is supposed to be m7wls though - not sure why I added those, thought maybe they were linked.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] david279:
This works. Just got some mc Donald's.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] blakejohnson86:
As of the nightly today, this no longer works. :-/ Worked yesterday though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rougegoat:
Here is what I did:

Update to newest nightly

Use recovery to clear cache, dalvik cache, reboot

Confirm Wallet does not work

Force closed Wallet, cleared its cache, data

Edit build prop from "ro.product.model=One" to "ro.product.model=HTCONE"

clear cache, dalvik cache, reboot

Confirm that Wallet still does not work
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] david279:
If you flash another nightly you have to do the build prop edit AGAIN....OK. The flash overwrites it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] blakejohnson86:
Assuming you are talking to me, I am quite well aware. Back to Xposed I go I guess.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rougegoat:
True, but if all that it takes to fix it is one line change in the build.prop, that can be reported to the CM guys and fixed in future builds.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] david279:
Tell [MENTION=427521]kushdeck[/MENTION]
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rougegoat:
Brought it up in the CM10.1 thread already. It probably isn't being taken too seriously though since it apparently does not work every time or for every device.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] david279:
Go on IRC beware though it's a hard place.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rougegoat:
I'm not one to report a fix there that I have confirmed does not work all the time. Feel free to report it yourself.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Veranor:
I'm flushing everything off of my phone to verify that the wallet change isn't a 1-liner.

I do see problems though with things like m7spr being put in the build.prop. It should not be m7spr, but m7wls. I'm still thinking those lines are somehow related.

I need to get back to a broken state.

If someone reports this to them, need to get them to add the GPS fix too.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Veranor:
Alright latest update to this.

Did a full wipe of the phone, including sdcard. Flashed the latest nightly CM 10.1 and google apps.

Installed Google Wallet from Play Store. Verified that it would not work. Did a force close and clear data of the app.

Edit /system/build.prop

Change ro.product.device to m7wls. Line should look as follows

ro.product.device=m7wls

Save. Reboot. No flushing cache in recovery.

Reopened Google Wallet - did not receive an error. The application still says "Unsupported Device" but that's because its rooted, and I could care less on that.

If this fails, repeat the steps - force close, clear data, edit build.prop and change the ro.product.model field to HTCONE, then reboot and see if you can get into Google Wallet.

On a side note, the stock build.prop has no reference for m7spr in it. My suggestion is that all references of m7spr be changed for m7wls. Otherwise, my guess is that Sprint does not recognize m7spr and will not let applications like Google Wallet load.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rougegoat:
Followed to a T, no dice. Removed any and all reference to "m7spr" outside of CM specific ones, no dice. Followed literally every set of instructions in this thread, no dice.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] david279:
You have to install xposed framework and modoco toolkit and enable Google wallet access.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] blakejohnson86:
Actually, no. I was running it yesterday without it with that one line that I changed. I can't get that to work anymore though since I installed the latest nightly. Not sure why it was just a one-off.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emgluon:
Smartphone are getting insane fast, the new xperia z ultra packs quad core 2.3 ghz cpu. No doubt when note 3 will be even faster when released.

Do anyone fund ANY game that are just too SLOW to run on the note 2.

Maybe it going to be a reason to actually upgrade.

I've not found any. Even play station ONE emulator run fast enough I am happly playing tekken with it.

Edit. Just found out that last year's xcom got ported to the ipad, am told it is quite taxing and only runs well on the latest pad. If onky android get more AAA games like that.
