I think you missed the part that I actually get 3G in some areas, and it's definitely not on 2100MHz. It's 850 or 1900MHz.

Should you get a case for the LG Nexus 4?

Advantages of having a nexus 4 case

-(obviously) Protection for your phone

-Can include a stand so you wont need to hold it all the time

-Extra grip

-Can make your phone unique

-Sturdy hardware buttons to prevent accidental pressing(Varies throughout designs)

-Prevents it from getting dirty

Advantages of not having a case

-Glitter Glass shows(Shows alot better than transparent cases)

-Easier to swipe from the edge of the screen (Cases pop up at screen edges)

-Logos are more noticeable

-Looks better

-The smooth texture(Unless you want grip instead)

Cases give you grip/protection/.(recommended just in case something happens)

If your careful with your phone and like the special design then you probably wont be needing one covering your nexus.:DSo in the end, its just protection VS looks.Press thanks if you made a decision on whether or not you want to use a case!

Case vs No Case?

I would go with case. My phone took a dive off my car after I set it there for literally 3 seconds (vehicle was not in motion at all). It made one small crack on the right hand side. Not a big deal right? Wrong. The digitizer failed on about 25% of the surface area right in the middle of the screen. In plain english that means no touch response on the screen, originating from the crack and extending the full width of the screen. This makes it difficult to text as it knocks out the T key in portrait keyboards and the message send button. In landscape it's also difficult. While a cracked screen may not seem like a big deal, it does suck when you have to drop ~$80 for a new digitizer/LCD.

The phone looks beautiful without the case, but it's not enough to justify the risk.

I've done both ways. Mine is currently naked... But it makes me a little nervous. Just can't find a case that I'm really happy with.

It's a no brainer!

OMG. This is all so dreary.

Look at your last phone. If its a mess and you're a clumsy git... get a case. If your old phone shows few signs of use then forgo the case.

Simples.

I cracked the back of my phone the first week I got it. A pallet jack just bumped my leg a cracked it by the speaker. This phones as fragile as the soft spot on a newborns head.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] otariq:
I always have front and back protectors for the glass but the only times I use a thick sturdy case is when I'm at the gym or know there is a risk of breaking for example when I went hiking
[Nexus 4 Accessories] CSX321:
Some time ago I got one of these cases from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-CLEAR...G-GOOGLE-NEXUS-4-E960-ACCESSORY-/350692488954

I've been really happy with it. It's decently slim, seems like it provides pretty good protection, and with the translucent back, you can still see the original back of the phone (or dbrand skin in my case). It's very inexpensive, and the only downside I've found is that it makes the power button a bit stiff. Hasn't at all been a deal killer for me, though.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] pwc realtor:
I use the OEM bumper case. Just yesterday I dropped my phone from waist height (about 3 feet) onto a tile floor and except for a few faint marks on the silver trim along the top of the bumper (that side hit the tile head on) no issues. Everyone who saw it was amazed I wasn't left with a cracked screen.

[Huawei Ideos X6] Lokarn:
Ever since I got this phone in 2011, it's never worked properly.

When I was running the standard software (2.3) it still crashed regularly without notice, it might have taken an hour, 20 seconds from reboot or go a full day.

After I went back to the electronics store I bought it from, they sent it to be repaired and came back just the same, completely useless.

This repeated itself several times untill I couldnt be arsed to try anymore.

So I rooted the phone and installed probably 10-15 different versions of android without much luck.

I've already gotten a new phone and i'm no longer using the Huawei handset, but I'm mostly just curious to see if anyone else have experienced the same issues that I have. I've been looking around the internet but i've been unable to come across any forum threads.

Would be nice to have a backup phone, but at the moment it's useless.
[Huawei Ideos X6] reversegear:
no such problems seen in two years of usage still my x6 runs like a new one apart from few scratches

i was on stock firmware very very long back but had few random reboots (2.3)

try using sharp modded stock firmware it is the most stable as of today.sill if u have reboots in sharp you can conclude that the problem is with the HARDWARE
[Huawei Ideos X6] Pranjal123:
Hi,

I have been using this phone (Spice MI-410) since 2 years. No major issues.

Tried out a lot of custom ROMs. Currently am running MIUI 2.4.13 v7.

Suggest you try out this ROM, but please ensure that you follow all steps required for installing the custom ROM.

As a start, please find the steps below:

1. Put the downloaded new rom. (.zip) to your SD card

2. Install Tjstyle RC3 via SUT 1.8 (RC3 comes with CWM preinstalled.)

3. Go to 'backup and restore ' and take a backup

4. Format Data, Cache and Dalvik

5. Install the zip from SD card

6. Reboot system and you are done

7. Reboot once again and login to your google account

Cheers... :)
[Huawei Ideos X6] Lokarn:
I installed the latest version of the sharp firmware, and at the moment it seems to actually be working.

I find it kind of funny that this firmware is more stable than the factory provided one to be honest.

I'll update the thread if there are any huge changes to the stability.

Thank you both for the advice, it's nice to have a working handset again.

[Ouya General] treborbula1:
So i got my brand new ouya today at 9am, i quickly went home plugged it in and the first thing that happened was an error, the console wasn’t displaying on my TV, after i shut it off, it quickly started OUYA, and so did the setup, after a few minutes updating the software, the console started successfully and i stated to dig around, i didn’t give the store one glance, and started installing other apps, the first thing i wanted was Google play, failed, then a good launcher, fail even sharing something through blue-tooth, fail, it surprised me the slap this company gave Google, really it doesn’t have anything Google at all, no account, search, nothing, i was appalled, if i were Google i would be calling some people, i understand the whole gaming console but come on, its 2013 and if your device doesn’t do everything but serve as a skateboard, it isnt worth your money, and for $106.00 bucks with taxes is understandable but why limit the ability to make the console your own, after all i bought it, i would like to see a good tablet interface, with the option of an ouya store not a launcher, heck even keep the same Google play and have the compatible applications run in the damn device, why are you shutting the creator from its creation, you’re only a surgeon making changes to something so wonderful, making it cripple, this is the advice of a gamer, a tech freak and a consumer.

this is for you Julie Uhrma, and your team make it right
[Ouya General] vbrtrmn:
Sounds more like an Ouya Meh rather than Nightmare.

Seems absurd, but once the good people in the dev section get CM10.1 on it, it'll be more useful.
[Ouya General] iLiberate:
Sounds like you didn't research the console at all. I'm with you, but in a different way. I pre-ordered knowing it was a closed garden, but they told me I had the keys to the gate, "open and hackable". It's not any more open and/or hackable than a kindle fire. There isn't even a way to boot into recovery. I just ordered it to install CM10 and use it for media, but that doesn't look promising. I just called Chase and canceled my purchase. Was supposed to get it in April and I still haven't heard a word from them. For now, I'm done with Ouya and I'll enjoy my PS4. Perhaps they can change my mind with the Ouya 2, but for now I'm just praying Google will launch a TV box coupled with a controller.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
Why would google care? You do realize the OUYA has NOTHING to do with google, right? It is based on Android, but so is a lot of other things that you probably don't even realize. You wanted a Google TV but you got a video game console, your fault not OUYA or Androids. This is not a google product, it is not a tablet or phone sponsored by google, and all the google parts are not there. Now if they were using google infrastructure and google didn't know about it THEN google might have something to say, like on many of the cheaper non-official tablets, but this has NOTHING to do with Google. It's BASED on android. Android and Google are not the same!

What part of the OUYA doesn't do everything? You can sideload many many MANY apps, you can browse the internet, you can download games, you can watch videos, play music, stream content, and more. It actually has more (even if different) features than an Xbox 360 or PS3! Do you expect your Xbox One or Playstation 3 to sign into Google and have your whole Android content on it? That's the same thing as expecting that with the OUYA.

A tablet interface would work HORRIBLY with the OUYA, so I'm not even going to touch on why you would want that.

And again, by saying that they're shutting the creator from its creation, you obviously don't understand what Android is. I'll just leave it at that.
[Ouya General] treborbula1:
i did not create this post so that pessimistic people would bash me, but so that optimistic people would join and build something better, really a tablet interface would suck... how so?t would be the things they mention same thing as an aosp roms only on the ouya, or did you forget about a kindle fire with and android makeover, so please dont tell me itll be stupid, or preposterous to fathom the thought of something being what has been stripped off, i even saw a rom adding some things ouya removed, so im not the only one, yes i knew it was an android console but what was hidden from us, and i say hidden because one of the the things they mentions on the site, videos, etc... is hack-ability, and once you add apps to the system it starts to freeze, it gets weird noises, the graphics are not in the resolution its supposed to be, the consoles resolution is 1920x1080 but it has the ratio of a cell phone, im not asking anyone to agree with me, if you dont like the idea dont give your opinion just look away, if you do i welcome you to join and comment:good:
[Ouya General] beowolfschaefer:
From what I understand in order to have Google Play on a device, Google requires that it be the primary (possibly only) marketplace on the device. Considering that Ouya's plan to make their money off of their market, putting Play on there as the primary would pretty much kill any chance of them being a profitable (or not closed) company. That aside, very few of the apps on the Play store are ioptimized for controllers and they have , for now, no method by which t sort and find those apps. Fow now if you really want something from the play store either install it on another device and copy it over to the Ouya or download the apk from another source. Chances are someone will create a GAPPs package for the ouya eventually anyway.
[Ouya General] Paulenski:
I've had mine for a while and it's not too difficult to get apps you want but no where on the box do they advertise Google Apps or Google Play store, you didn't do any research on the product. If you noticed anything from the website, they have games specifically made for Ouya, Google Play doesn't support this kind of filtering, at least not to a great extent. Secondly, most apps from Google Play, will NOT work. They weren't made for the console, it lacks the google framework(big reason why you can't get google play, its not stable enough) and most apps are touch interface, not controller/keyboard input. Plus all the major uses of the ouya (emulators, video playback and streaming) can already be done without google play. The streaming is the only one thats a bit of a hassle atm due to touch interface menus.
[Ouya General] player911:
I think Google requires licensing fees to include their apps. Hence why Custom roms require a separate install of GAPPS. This is a CLOSED system specifically so that developers HAVE to make their games work for the OUYA and not just release some tablet app with half-ass support and functionality. This is understandable and in the best interest of all parties.

As far as the console (closed-garden/keys), you can side load apps all you want. So while some apps may not have official support, you can still install and run them.

But the OUYA does NOT have GAPPS installed thus no Google Account or Google Apps as of right now. If you were looking for a Tablet Inferface, you should have picked up one of the many Android TV Sticks such as the MK808 or better. These have a straight Android tablet interface with Google Play. But they lack any manufacturer support and don't come with any controllers. If you can get a controller to work, you will be limited to 1 (in my experience). They are fun but are cheap chinese build quality. I can't speak for the OUYA but it appears they put some good effort into the OUYA and coupled with a pretty neat controller, I think the Price is really a good buy. Android TV sticks have more of a traditional android environment that you may be looking after.
[Ouya General] OreBoySwaggin:
Really?

Why are you defending the Ouya. It seriously doesn't do a lot. Yes you can sideload many apps but not a lot. any that need a verification with google play can't be sideloaded. Heck google play hasn't even been properly sideloaded. Honestly i'm not happy with the ouya i bought. Unless idk how, there isnt even a way to do a full reset on this thing. SU isnt even correct. it sucks.
[Ouya General] gianptune:
How is 'su' not even correct? It works exactly like it does in google's AOSP eng and user-debug builds. Its the same one that is on all the android emulator images. If you dont like it, it works perfectly fine to grant the shell user root and you can change it to any of the su apps you want. But don't confuse them. The su that is on ouya is the most googly-official su there is.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
WHy am I defending OUYA? Well, I was a EARLY backer on Kickstarter, have followed it closely since then, and even with everything they have said it has gone above and beyond the expectations I had for it. It does more than I expected already, has more games on it than I expected it to have at release, and in general works better than I expected.

I knew it wasn't going to have the PLAY store, which makes sense but that's for another topic, and every single app I've sideloaded has worked so far except for the ones that have internet DRM. ANd that makes sense because I didn't buy the app for the OUYA, I bought it for my Google related products.

A better question is why are there so many bashing it? Although the number bashing the console itself (not shipping or support) are getting to be far and few (and seem to be the minority), it makes me question what did you expect? The ONLY thing they did not deliver on was how hackable it was, and even then it seems like it's just a matter of time before they plan on unlocking it even further.

Simply put I spent $170 on this thing and am very happy with my purchase. I have had it for about a month and have used it every single day. I have an Xbox 360 and a PS3 sitting next to it that have not been touched since I got my OUYA. I have a PC full of steam games that has also not been touched.

If you don't like the console, then sell it, there are plenty of people who want one.
[Ouya General] OreBoySwaggin:
Why then

If the su is "correct" on the ouya, then how come su has to be pushed and replaced when properly rooting it?
[Ouya General] gianptune:
Because your 'properly' rooting is it not how root works on AOSP. You are thinking of superuser and superSU, which are 3rd party apps that must be installed in the play store, right? How can you even begin to think that something you must install manually from the store, and that even has premium/paid versions is the 'proper' way.

The AOSP 'su', the one that comes on Ouya, exists to grant the shell user root access. It has no concept of java, dalvik, the VM, or any apps that draw anything on the screen.
[Ouya General] jpsiemer:
Bought and Ouya yesterday. Downloaded some crap off their crappy market. Played some games. Games were alright -- kinda glitchy. The screen was stretched beyond the bounds of my TV -- everything was cut off. Sideloaded some apps. Apps were junk -- really glitchy. XBMC kinda worked, but setting up network shares was a nightmare. Everything else sucks. This system blows. My Super Nintendo was better. Returning this garbage before I go crazy. They should be paying me to test their beta software.
[Ouya General] DoctorOhh:
172 games available at launch is amazing. You're right some are crappy and some are glitchy, but some are excellent. The big plus is you get to try them before you purchase the game.

I am fortunate that this ailment doesn't affect me. There is a setting that in theory should fix this for those folks affected, but I've heard it may not function yet. In the 2 weeks I've had my Ouya there have been about 4 major firmware updates and with each update things improved.

Sideloading apps are hit and miss. I use Plex (from the Ouya store) instead of XBMC. It was a snap to setup and works great. The Amazon store was my first sideloaded app and I used it to install Dropbox, Netflix and HuluPlus and they all work as expected. I sideloaded the Veetle app and it works great as does the Twitch app (from the Ouya store). The emulators in the store work as expected too.

I'm sure there are many apps that are junk and very glitchy, but the ones I just mentioned are not among those apps.

Since I don't experience the overscan problem you experience I can't agree with this statement. My Ouya runs Super Nintendo games great and much much more.

However , if this is your experience/opinion then you are right to return it.

Thanks for sharing.
[Ouya General] rushless:
The Ouya seems a nice enthusiast device, but not ready for mass consumers that just want Wii style plug and play. At the price point, you will see a lot of the Wii demographic, so probably a lot of subsequent complaints.
[Ouya General] djassa1:
Ya that's right, it's not a plug and play console and even not as easy as a closed system like IOS...but if it's able to run games correctly because it's a game console, it's everything we ask from for this price! Free games and low ownership cost make the difference, but if people want a high end game console, with HD and 3D gaming go with Sony and Microsoft, they will enjoy getting your money :mad:
[Ouya General] Paulenski:
You installed the wrong xbmc, they are in the beta stage with h/w accel version, you can sideload it, libstage alpha 4 xbmc.

Secondly the emulators are great, snes9x from Robert, along with his releases of nes, genesis. Mupen64 works good on most Roms but android has had problem with n64 emulation.
[Ouya General] jpsiemer:
I installed the right XBMC. That's the version I'm using. Like I said, it works, just glitchy, just as everything else is on this console. Console emulation isn't really an amazing feat considering the hardware on this thing. My Xbox1 did everything this did and more, and it wasn't glitchy.

Sorry, but this "console" blows. I'd rather have an Android HDMI dongle from some unknown Chinese company.
[Ouya General] JLCollier2005:
Great! Pack it back up, return it, spend your money elsewhere, and get off the forums. Your opinion has been heard and noted.
[Ouya General] jpsiemer:
Ha, ooh, ok! Try not to be so sensitive about the matter. It's just a piece of junky hardware. Maybe it'll get better in 2014 when they've released their 50th firmware update. When the time comes, I'll buy it again. Until then, I'm going to warn as many potential buyers as possible. This thing is a joke.
[Ouya General] treborbula1:
My thoughts exactly

Mine was tuck on boot because I installed go launcher for gods sake
