[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NATTARIOUS:
I have searched and searched all over the internet and here, so multiple threads, at the end, none of them solved my problem, so please read in full...

First: This thread is for all developers/engineers specially from the Northern African countries such as Egypt and the Middle East, UAE, KSA, ...etc.

Subject: Google Nexus 4 [ Manufacturer Date: May 2013 ]

Shipped Straight from Google, Inc. in California and loaded with:

Stock Rom: Jelly Bean 4.2.2

Build: JDQ39

Baseband: xxx.1700.48

I have purchased my phone directly from Google on May 28th 2013. Back then I was in the USA. I received the brand new and factory sealed my new Nexus 4. Wanted to try it, but I didn't have a Micro Sim to try, also my flight to UAE was on May 30th. So I decided to wait and get my new SIM from Dubai/UAE. I got a new Micro SIM from Etisalat [UAE Carrier].

Now to make the story short, this is what happened:

I installed the new SIM, turned on my Nexus 4, went through the first time boot setup, I saw the new SIM title and full signal as well as H next to the my signal bar [HSUPA] means i have data!

I went through some customization as far as the background, ringtone, setup my gmail account and did the default apps update.

Now I want to try my phone, made a call, NO CALL AUDIO!... Asked my friends to call me back, the phone rings and when I pick up, NO CALL AUDIO!

The phone it self as far as mic and speak is working fine tho! The media plays, I can record voice and play it back, lock screen sound plays when it locks or unlock it self, tried Bluetooth head sets, regular headsets, everything works but NOT for the Incoming / Outgoing Audio!!!

I went to Egypt and tried a different SIM from a different Carrier! Still the same problem! Everything is working on the phone EXCEPT the Inbound/Outbound Audio!!!

I got bored and called Google! Google simply told me, yes we have heard of multiple issues and several complains about this. Please send us your device and we will be more than happy to exchange it for you! WTF!

Of course I ain't sending my device from Egypt to the USA for the same price I paid for! So I tried several ways/options from the internet and here is what I tried:

1- I tried the Audio Sensor Beak thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2147194 [DID NOT WORK]

2- I tried all of the Mako Modem Collection here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2087227 [DID NOT WORK]

3-I tried to Flash the original Stock Rom 4.2.2 and even downgraded to 4.1.2 from here: http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-4/occam/ [DID NOT WORK]

4- Finally I tried the T-Mobile Fix on this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2233319&nocache=1 [DID NOT WORK]

Guys!! I am really tired trying all the fixes and threads out there, and my question is:

Is it really a Software/Firmware/Baseband issue??? Or is it a hardware issue?? Please help and advise what shall I do? Shall I toss it in my garbage?

Hope to hear back from you guys and thank for your time.

Regards,

NATTARIOUS
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N10AP:
It is obviously a hardware fault.

Your options are:

1) RMA the device for return

2) Disassemble phone and attempt repair

You have a BRAND NEW phone. Why would you want to void the warranty on it? Yes I appreciate it may be a pain to send it back to the U.S but you have no idea what could be wrong. It could be the speaker, it could be the audio amp IC or preamp (if fitted. I`m not sure)

RMA it. Or maybe take it to a professional repairer. But you shouldn`t have to do this with a new device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NATTARIOUS:
Hello there and thank you for the respond...

I don't think it is a hardware issue tho, neither any of the speakers and/or audio amp [eEPROM ICs], because the device is 100% functioning!

Another test to prove my points against the hardware issues:

1- Tested on Carriers Network [Viber, Skype and GroveIP] was able to send/receive calls from the head speaker and the external speaker as well. Other party was able to hear my voice clear >> meanings: my mic is working!

2- Tested on Local WiFi Network [Viber, Skype and GroveIP] I was able to get the same results mentioned earlier in No. 1

Does that make sense? Or still could be a hardware issue?

Now the reason I don't want to do RMA >>> I am a regular returning customer and reseller of Google, Inc. this is not the issue in fact its a good sign and when I spoke to the tech rep on the phone, they didn't actually questioned me, all they said if you say it is bad, means its bad and we will exchange it for you!!!

The problem is: This device is a US$ 349.00 and Google for the 16GB one. Google and any US Based Corporation do not ship overseas! And as I mentioned, currently I am in Egypt / North Africa! To ship it bad safely will cost me around $250 and $250 to get it back from one of my relatives to Egypt!

Its not worth it! I would break it and throw it away would be cheaper! You know what I mean?

So what do you think? Please let me know

Thanks in advance for your your help and support

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ahmad H Storm:
this may sound silly but you can keep your Nexus4 and buy a very cheap phone only for phone calls... like a nokia :p

i have the nexus4 and i don't seem to have any issues with it what so ever ... i hope i helped ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N10AP:
It really does sound like you have a defective earpiece or defective hardware leading to the earpiece.

The sound comes out of a separate speaker from the back and there are two mics on the N4 as far as I know.

Maybe, just maybe, couldn`t you find out if you could send the device cheaper if you sent it back to another country that Google ships to?

For example, would it be any cheaper to send it to the UK and let Google have it back from there? Then they could send you another from the UK (Or Ireland I think distributes them for Google). Does it HAVE to be USA?

Couldn`t you speak to them and ask them?

If so, maybe a kind soul on these forums would exchange it for you if you sent it (for much less cost) to their country and RMA the device from there?

Hope I`m making sense...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NATTARIOUS:
Thank you for the reply... As far as I know the N4 has only one mic and yes the speakers are 2.

The External from the back [Loud] speaker and the front head/ear speaker.... I spoke to Google my self twice and they are really a good corporation, as I stated earlier.. They have no issues to replace it at all! Even they gave me the option of choosing either the Black or White version with the new Android Latest Release! But like I said, It has to be shipped back to the US and the RMA process has to be done from there.. I am not sure if it will work from the UK, I can give it a try.

They also gave me the local dealer in Cairo and they said, that they will send them an email to accept my device, but there will be some charges, which I really don't care for since it will never be a $500 back and forth, you know what I mean?

Now what really concerns me is: All Voip apps and services works perfect!! Either on the WiFi or the Local Carrier's Network!! I can accept/send listen/hear and speak.

Its only the GSM Inbound/Outbound calls! They are using the same MIC and Speaker, either the head one or the external one. I also know that my device is an 4G and LTE enabled by default and the local carrier's do not support it [at least for now] could that be the problem since the SIM card uses the actual installed baseband/radio???

To me it doesn't make any sense! Its 2:02am local time and I will visit the local dealer at 10:00am in the morning and lets see what they will say about it.

I will keep this post updated to let you guys know..

Thank you again and hope you enjoyed your weekend

Is it possible to upgrade the Dell XPS 10 which comes with RT to a pro version? If not what is the next best pro tablet for the least amount of money? Thanks!
[Windows RT General] hisoft:
It impossible because the architecture of CPU was not the same. Windows RT CPU base on ARM but Windows 8 Pro CPU base on x86-64.

Oh ok thanks, I cant beleive I forgot to even look at the cpu type on it, should of known based on that XD!

Could you put the win8 pro version on the Dell?

I would think so, but would the touch screen be supported. No idea if the xps has touch
[Windows RT General] SixSixSevenSeven:
The XPS10 is a 10" windows RT tablet using a qualcomm ARM CPU. So thats a no for win8 pro.

the same thing..For case of wrong opinion i tried the difference with sony tipo,With the same song and the same call.The difference in volume is huge.

Are you suggesting is software or hardware problem?? try a hard reset maybe solve the problem??

Hard reset? What about pc companion - repair? Use that to update to latest version, or use flashtool.

with repair is like reinstall?? eveerything new and memory formated?? I have checked with pc companion and is in latest version.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zzztidurvirus:
Yeah, kinda like samsung recovery - wipe data / reset all. Unfortunately for stock sony phones, if youre still unrooted, and dont install cwm, you need pc companion just to reset that screen lock pattern. The alternative (offline) method is get .ftf and use flashtool instead. Just try it, just to see if it fixed the problem.

I tried CM7-20121215-UNOFFICIAL as well as cm7 7-19-2012 unofficial build, neither worked, and I don't know if the other links are for my phone specifically or if they are for other models.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SnowTauren:
Hey guys,

I'm new to galaxy Note II. I was wondering if I could get a firmware with blue icons and without any AT&T crapware. Maybe a 4.2 version if possible. What is the best clean firmware which is closest to the generic android with blue icons. I prefer no mods or change in icons. On-buttons would be nice though.

Also how can I backup this rom completely so I can go back to the AT&T's firmware when I'm done with my contract. Any help would be appreciated :).

Thank you,

SnowTauren
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
questions go in Q&A, not in general...

your questions sound like you dont really know anything about Android or this phone, so I would STRONGLY advise you dont flash anything, until you do ALOT more reading...do you know how to root? do you know what a nandroid is? Do you know how to restore a backup? Do you know how to tell what version of Android you are on? Do you know the actual model number of this phone?

If you cant answer every one of those questions, dont even TRY to do anything to your phone until you do..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] SnowTauren:
I'm sorry I made this post in the wrong section. And yes I've been rooting and changing firmwares for my Sony Xperia X10i. However, I also had it's original firmware with me. So whenever I messed up I was able to flash back to factory defaults.

But i'm new to Note II, I don't know if anything is different on this phone. I know my phone is N7100. I'm pretty much good with computers and phones :D. Just new to this phone.

Anyway my question was which firmware is the best and closest to generic and what can I use to backup my Note II.
