[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
Not sure why symlink isn't working. You can try binding folders which works in many cases where symlink does not.

mount -o bind src_folder dest_folder

You might need to put this in init.d script so that the bind happens on every boot as it won't stick across reboots.

Most likely the problem you are facing is because of unified filesystem that's implemented. i.e. a single physical partition acts as two virtual partitions one containing /data and other /sdcard
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
You can't symlink on sdcard because the /sdcard is formatted either fat32 or fatx (can't remember which). Neither of which supports symlinks
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
The sdcard on nexus isn't FAT as its not mounted as USB mass storage but over MTP.

Phones which support mounting as USB drives use FAT formatted sdcard partitions so that it can be read by Windows natively.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:
That's interesting because my previous phone. HTC one x /sdcard was 100% formatted fat because it was mtp in android. But you could still Mount as ums in recovery

OK, just had a quick look. guess you are right, /sdcard/ is formatted as EXT4 so symlinks should work fine.

edit

its mounted as ext4 in recovery.

in android its mounted as fuse which is why the symlink doesnt work

confirmed.

i just booted into recovery

adb shell
~ # ln -s /sdcard/carbon/ /sdcard/drive/carbon/
ln -s /sdcard/carbon/ /sdcard/drive/carbon/

~ # cd /sdcard/carbon
cd /sdcard/carbon

/sdcard/carbon # ls -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Jul 1 21:35 carbon -> /sdcard/drive/carbon/

however upon rebooting the symlink is lost as it is no longer been mounted as ext4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zakoo2:
unfortunately, this doesnt work, i get this:

/system/bin/sh: bind: -o: unknown option

i also tried mount --bind src dest, but that doesnt work either.

so there is no way to create a symlink or any other way to link a folder to another?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
I tested and it was working fine. Looks like you just typed bind -o instead of mount -o bind. It should be "mount -o bind src_folder dest_folder".

There is an app which does this for you. I haven't used it personally but you can try. Check here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1410262

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristi.badoi:
Hi,

I am running for a few weeks the N4 with stock ROM, not even rooted.

I have noticed that when is starting to heat up in the upper right corner there is a yellow spot.

I managed to reproduce it easily with the Stability Test app(from Play Store) using a few minutes the Classic Stability Test.

Has anyone else noticed this?

LE: Around 38 degrees Celsius the spot is more noticeable.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFuGiToiDx:
I have 2 yellow spots on mine... Both are located on the bottom left and right of the screen just right above the navigation buttons... It never seems to go away even though I'm underclocked and undervolted as well and my phone barely heats up.. Its only noticeable when on white backgrounds... I looked it up online and people say its just the glue and it should eventually disappear overtime.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristi.badoi:
Thanks for the answer. I decided to send my to warranty.

All the yellow spots that I found(google helped) were not related to any heating up and they were not located in the upper right corner.

I will come back with answer from service :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UltimHero:
Hey guys ! I wanted lately to buy a used in good shape N4 , i find it to be a bit overpriced on ebay and amazon compared to the play store price (price is 50 bucks more) , and since in my country the play store doesnt exist i can only buy it from amazon and ebay !

So what do you think is a good price for it ?? im searching for a 16gb model , i think 8gb is not enough or is it ??

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kpholmes:
yes you are right, the reason your find them on ebay and amazon priced higher is probably becasue the seller will ship internationally, and is still cheaper then buying in their home country, or for what ever reason google does not sell in that country, OR the seller is counting on buyers who have a amazon store card or billmelater with paypal, and can finance it without having to get a real credit card, there are tons of reasons, those are the only ones i can think of now.

also i wouldnt pay more then $300 for a used 16gb nexus 4, i mean, for 50 bucks more you can get a new one, with a warranty!

since the nexus 4 is so different then its competitors and undercut them all in terms in price, it makes it an unprecedented popular "affordable" smart phone, with unprecedented pricing by 3rd parties. solid design and great phone, but a "cheap" device in terms of specs when compared to the S3 which is selling used for $300 right now.

even though it might be more difficult then normal to find, keep looking, as its the internet... and the 16gb models should be better priced then the 8gb's from what i've seen.

i had a 8gb nexus that i lost in the back of a taxi, it was a steller phone, though 8gb is not enough. though i did start to use streaming services like plex for video, and subsonic media server for my music and everything worked fine with internet, and could sync if i knew i would be without.

hope this helps

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npiper05:
Have you tried Swappa? Some people will ship internationally. I just bought a Nexus 4 with accessories for $330. I know some people will say that's more than it should be, but it's basically brand new. If I ordered on Play between shipping and taxes I would've paid at least $50 more. I'll pocket the $50 for a phone that looks brand new.

Good luck.

Hi,

Your hboot 1.27 would suggest that you are on 3.32

However,You will be fine installing both the ROM and the kernel with the setup you currently have.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] inna25:
I recently upgraded my Sony Xperia S (LT26) to Android 4.1.2 and everything was working well for a week... until the camera stopped mid-photo. I had been taking photos during the day and everything was fine, so I tried to start up the camera again and it crashed and said 'Camera not available'. I restarted the phone, but still the same issue.

I tried clearing all camera settings, tried a full settings reset, tried using the Sony Update Service to reinstall the 500MB update then tried a complete factory reset (including photos etc), but still nothing.

Any ideas what I can else I can do?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronimb:
i could use some help here,

im trying to find a way to have a certain document editable on both my phone and my computer,

while keeping the changes made synced, and having that document password protected.

i have tried several solutions so far:

evernote - encryption is a paid feature in android

dropbox - here iv'e tried several things:

using favorites - could not get kingsoft office to edit the file after changes were made to it on the pc, ive seen it handle passowrd protection quite well with local files

using dropsync - for reasons unfathomable to me and as of yet unexplained (app developer was contacted about this as well, hes just as confused as i am), at unpredictable times, on unpredictable circumstances, when i sync folders with dropsync, some (not all) of the files, get erased locally, and then subsequently removed from dropbox, it doesnt always happen, but it makes this a very frustrating and unreliable solution

foldersync - wouldn't let me enter sync my dropbox account for some reason, brought up a login page with no response to any attempts on my side to input username/password

google docs - if i could get the app password protected, this would be a good solution, otherwise, access to my phone is enough to open and view the files

I would really appreciate any advice here,

Im frustrated with this thing to no end and can't seem to find a solution for something that i would have thought should be trivial

Hi,

I just upgraded to 1.06.00 wwe on my machine. The upgrade seems to have gone well, and the machine is working fine (except the speaker prob that I posted about in another thread).

But after I restore from the xbackup job that I did before the ROM upgrade, the touch screen becomes irresponsive, and doesn't react at all.

Any tips, ideas or comments?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] frax:
Seems like there were registry setting that had been changed/added. I managed to fix it this way:

* Export the registry right after a hard reset (using tascal regedit)

* Export the registry right after the xBackup restore (digitizer not responding, but I can control the machine using ActiveSync Display powertoy)

* Import the hard rest registry file

* Soft reset (now the screen is responding)

* Import the post backup registry file

This make sure that any registry settings added after the ROM update are included in the registry, but all my personal customizations before the upgrade are there.

I didn't try to identify the registry setting more, but I have both .reg files and I can diff them.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] [Krueger]Dr.Stein:
Hey

I do not know about you guys but I think it is a memory issue.

In the early days I had this problem with pre-SE ROMs when I had loads of applications at startup and running in the background after using any particular program for a long time the screen alignment seems to go bezerk.

My solution was to remove unnecessary startup apps and keep back-office ones to minimum.

No such problems with WM2003SE so far.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] peterdelve:
I have also upgraded to the ROM (I wish I didn't). I am using sprite backup which does indeed back everything up successfully but once backed up the touch screen becomes very slow.

I tried to backup and then restore the registry but this touch screen is still really slow. I have to hold the stylus in place for about 3 seconds. The only way I can think of getting around this is once you have upgraded the jam is to reinstall everything.

Oh and the camera is indeed worse with the new ROM

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpartusTana:
Are you able to boot into the bootloader at all? If so, download the stock ROM for your phone: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#occam

Boot into the bootloader (Hold both volume buttons and power button simultaneously). Ensure your USB drivers are all up to par. Take the files within the main folder of the factory image file you just downloaded, and place them in the same area as your Fastboot/ADB.

Double click the "Flash-All" batch file, and let it do its magic.

Apologies if it has already been stated that the bootloader doesn't work, I did a general skim over the previous posts.

Theoretically the method above should work, flashing radio, bootloader, and ROM back to stock. Best and most simple method I can think of.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atulalvenkar:
All phones use different partitions for different things. When you flashed S4 rom into N4 it must have erased some important partitions like efs.

There were lot of bricks because folks flashed N7 kernel on N4.

There is no way even for service center to restore IMEI. They just replace the entire motherboard so you get a new different IMEI.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Not all roms will check for the device model before flashing. This is a perfect example of being careful of what you do. Rewritting the OS of your device should not be taken lightly. I know alot of places make it seem fool proof and easy but there are very real risks involved.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] nxt:
I just got the HTC One AT&T version a couple days ago. It was stock for about 30minutes, then I unlocked and put CM10.1 on it.

My question is this. I checked my data usage and it's showing I'm using PAY PER USE DATA!

I have DataPro 5GB for Smartphone 4G LTE plan.

Which APN am I suppose to use? My phone has a bunch of them automatically.

ATT LTE is the default with the apn: pta

I'm seeing people here are saying to use the apn: phone (named ATT Phone on my phone).

Here's a screenshot of my data usage:

Is it charging me $0.00 per KB then?

Why isn't it showing under the 5120MB section that I will be paying monthly?

When I click View Details it shows this:

It shows the phone was using apn PHONE for 39 minutes, then I think after I put CM10.1 on it, it uses the APN PTA.

I added it up and it is about 33megs.

So is AT&T charging me for these?

Any insights before I call them up?

So which APN should I be using?

Thanks!
