[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daewond3r:
Idk where you read that but the Nexus 4 is about to receive 4.3 and will more than likely receive 5.0 later this year. The Nexus 4 has a lot of life left in it. Even after Google stops official support I'm sure the dev community will keep it going a while longer.

---------- Post added at 01:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:35 AM ----------

I've never used Transformer before but I believe it runs a slightly skinned version of Android? In any case you can look up YouTube videos of the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 to see what stock Android is like.

It's debated (of course) but most of the Android devotees enjoy "stock/vanilla" Android, which basically means it's Android as it comes from Google. OEMs like Samsung, HTC, Motorola, and others all put their own custom skins on it. They often add features that stock Android doesn't have (some useful, some gimmicky) but the general consensus is that the skins bog down the phone and that loss in performance outweighs the extra bells and whistles you get.

Being that you're an iOS user, think of it in these terms--a Nexus device is the closest thing to an iPhone for Android. I mean this in the sense that when Google releases a new version of Android, you get it quickly after it's release. Just like you do when Apple pushes an iOS update. If you had say a Samsung Galaxy S4 and were anxious for Android 5.0, you'd have to wait at least a few months for Samsung to rework their Touchwiz UI over the new Android 5.0 and send out an update.

Given your budget, I would totally recommend the Nexus 4. You'll even have some extra cash to spend on some great accessories to keep it nice and safe--in case you do decide to sell it for something coming in the next year.

Hope this helps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] californicated:
The only reasons to wait would be the release of the x phone or the next nexus. As we don't know if the x phone will be worth it, and the nexus 5 isn't even announced yet (don't forget the time it took to get the phone on stock..2 or 3 month after release), I'd say get the Nexus 4 and be happy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] favaroooo:
I bought my N4 last week and I advice you to buy it
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
I am normally a buy now type of guy.

But I would wait to the moto x announcement. And at least see if the tumours are true.

One of the biggest things about a nexus device is that is unlocked and off contract.

If the moto x is going to be available for 299 of contract and their is a device for your carrier of choice, that would also be a tempting deal. Decent specs and lte and a good price. I don't really believe that rumor but I would at least wait til find out. It's only a week away.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Moto x not worth it. It's a dual core phone and not even 1080p. The only thing better for the Moto x over the n4 is probably the camera. Spec wise, n4 is a lot faster. Plus it's a Nexus phone so therefore, it will have the latest updates. Moto x will still require carrier approval most likely.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fatherboard:
Buy it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
a

Not worth it? You don't even know the price. Nor do you know the network the user is on. I assume if he is from the states he is on att. That alone could easily push somebody to a moto x phone on that network for lte over their crap 3g.

Specs don't mean crap. Benchmarks don't mean crap. In no usage case with the nexus 4 be a lot faster. In fact it the moto x should be faster in day to day use. It won't be slower.

The op didn't mention a thing about getting updates and doesn't even know what the stock experience is and so on.

If he wants to spend up to 500 on a phone he could also consider dropping that for a oppo. And that phone is old and still worth that price.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
The problem with some android users is that they measure everything according to hardware, i call this the samsung mentality, "pump in the latest and greatest hardware, it will look good on paper, who cares about user experience" . No wonder the S4 has a lot of problems and as they call it over there (on their xda forums) "unoptimized software yet". Doesn't sound nice for a >650$ device.

I'm not a fan of Apple or any of it's products, but comparing the hardware/performance of the iphone5 vs galaxy S4 , as sad as it sounds, the my-little-pony-phone destroys that S4 in all fields even with inferior hardware.

So don't put the Moto X on ignore list just yet, i'm sure those 2 cores are going to be more than enough for one of the best android user experiences, and the lack of 1080p display is there for a reason. And finally don't forget that rumors say it's going to be an affordable phone targeting a wider crowd than, let's say, the nexus line.

An average non tech savvy individual doesn't care about which hardware the device rocks, they only care about the overall user experience, and the Moto X might provide just that.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ameinild:
I don't think the N4 will be outdated anytime soon for me at least, but I guess it depends on your needs. The biggest downside to N4 (for me) is the lack of external SD and LTE. If you feel these features are important to you in the near future, I would wait. If not, I would buy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J:
I bought one last wed. The Dev community is huge for the device and will be for along time. Pricing and hardware is awesome, not to mention I think its still one of the best looking phones. I say go for it.

Cheers, J.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jameil.sk:
I bought the N4 recently and I'd say wait for the moto x. It's just a week more and I think it's better looking than the nexus. Hardware specs are not that important. If you don't like it you can still get the nexus later.

i am having trouble with cd command on terminal emulator.

i was trying to install backtrack... so was following steps from youtube... and...

when i tried "cd /sdcard" (foward slash), it just goes to the next line and nothing happens.

so i retried using backslash "cd \sdcard" and i get "can't cd to sdcard".

everone on the youtube and other sources says and uses foward slash, but whenever i try to use foward slash,

there is no response.

so is it really foward slash i need to use or backslash when choosing directories?

and how do i fix the "can't cd to sdcard" error?

ofcourse i have busybox installed.

By unlocked do you mean HTC Dev unlocked, bootloader unlocked or carrier unlocked? I'm assuming this update is through Android yes? Under software update.
[HTC Sensation] beeseh:
wright it was under software update

for the unlock I think its bootloader when I login to bootloader display I get unlocked at the top of screen if that what you mean ?
[HTC Sensation] AwsmStar:
Okay I see. If you're wanting to update and have bootloader unlocked, probably best to install 4EXT and Flash ARHD with Smartflash. I don't think your OTA will work properly.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
if you have a custom recovery installed forget the official update

i think also you must have locked bootloader(i am not sure for that)

how can I get of that custom recovery n restore the official software ????n how I can lock it ??? would you give me a link that explain that

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jerber:
Hi people, I don´t need to say that I´ve a G Nexus hehe, for that reason I´m here, but the real reason today is that my G Nexus is something like "new" for me, I came from a Xperia device, and in those devices everything is "easy" to do, like root, flash etc etc

Like I said, my device is now a Galaxy Nexus (GSM Maguro), I'm running Android 4.2.1 and it works like a charm, not a simple one problem!, but I would like to do some changes in it,the problem is, I don´t know how!

I´m interesting in:

*Make the statusbar semi transparent or fully transparent (for avoid the screen burn problem)

*Make the navbar semi transparent too (same reason)

*Other things :P

*I´m not interesting in change the rom (at least for now) I just want to do some changes, for now the stock rom is almost enough for me :)

So, if somebody can give me a hand on this I will be really happy, my first language is spanish, so, I try to write in a correct way, and of course, I try to understand everything that I can

PD: My Nexus is not rooted, I don´t know how to do it, seems difficult xD

Thanks a lot!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cupfulloflol:
You are likely going to have to at least root to accomplish this. There are themes, and apps that allow you to tinker with the statusbar and navbar. But you will they require root.

With a launcher that allows for it, you can hide the statusbar on your home screens.

Nice for an alternative to Nokia Lumia 1020, but definitely more bulky with less camera megapixels than Lumia 1020. Personally like the all around design of Lumia 1020 better than S4 Zoom.

Hello, After using cloud storage apps on my android, I am left wondering why cloud services don't support the basic feature of downloading to the device by default? At least an option would be nice.

I am looking for a free cloud storage service which can download the data to the android device automatically. Dropbox doesn't do this on it's own.

One example I have found is Dropbox + Dropsync.

Its good but I am looking for a free service.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
[Ouya General] DroidXero:
Figured I'd post what I've been working on the last day or two.

I sideloaded OpenLauncher onto my OUYA and overall am quite impressed with it, and it lets me group things into catagories which is what I wanted.

I wasn't happy with a few aesthetics and the way that OL would show the current running app as a background for the launcher, so I decompiled the .APK and started editing some of the .PNGs. This is what I have so far.

The icons on the dock bar at the bottom are customised too, but the photo is crappy so it doesn't show them well.

Any suggestions/constructive criticisms welcomed.

Also, can someone talk me through how to edit .9 images?
[Ouya General] Phen0m:
This looks really good. Cant offer any assistance, other than keep up the good work! And please post the .apk when you are finished :)
[Ouya General] DroidXero:
Thanks. Still playing around with it. I figured out the ninepatch thing so I can edit those properly now. I'm no pro by any means, just tinkering and trial and error. Keeps me occupied :)

I'll post the .APK when I'm done, but obviously all credit goes to the OpenLauncher dev - I just ripped it apart and changed a few things.
[Ouya General] Sinderan:
Can you find a way to jump into the play store without having to launch Ouya Launcher like BAXY does? Only reason I stopped using OpenLauncher. I like it seamless
[Ouya General] DroidXero:
I'd love to do that, but sadly I have absolute zero knowledge on how I'd go about it. I'm not a dev by any means, just like to tinker.

Maybe if someone / the dev of BAXY would be able to help me I could give it a go?

I used BAXY for a while and liked it generally, just not aesthetically. Being able to change the background and not relying on the OUYA launcher were plusses, but I didn't like the look of it at all.
[Ouya General] Asadullah:
Where's the source code for open launcher?
[Ouya General] Sinderan:
Obviously I meant Discover and not Play store but I do believe you already caught that. Yea, functionally BAXY isn't bad but I hate the look.
[Ouya General] meu.catavento:
such a great idea. i never thought about decompiling OL and starting from there. good job droidxero
[Ouya General] jackgibbs:
this is exciting. do you have an apk you'd be willing to post as a beta for now?
[Ouya General] meu.catavento:
i'd be curious as well. i don't want to double up efforts and try doing something similar myself, if it was something you're planning on doing.
[Ouya General] DracoMoye:
Here the official link to Open Launcher

[Ouya General] DroidXero:
At the moment I've stopped doing anything with this. I'm reading around trying to figure out how to add in the functionality to launch Discover and to power off directly.

I've uploaded the .apk to my GDrive as it was too big to upload here. Link is at the bottom of this post, so feel free to use it, change it, share it, whatever. Really all I done was rip open the OpenLauncher apk and edit the stuff in the drawable-xdpi folder with Photoshop. Nothing special.

If you manage to make anything cool yourselves using this as a base, please share it in this thread - I for one would be interested in seeing what people come up with :)

[Ouya General] Sinderan:
Well for Discover we could just use the alternative store over in the dev board?
[Ouya General] RED ZMAN:
BAXY Launcher figured out the accessing/launching of Discover and Power, maybe ask or team up with the developer?

Hello,

I'm new to this phone and I'm looking for some good stock-based 4.1.2 ROM.

As far I have tried those:

And few more.

But I just can't find non-lagging one.

Every ROM I flash laggs just after boot. What happens?

Even scrolling laggs.

I have checked quadrant scores and it's mostly about 1800-2400. That's too low for such a phone.

Changing CPU governor doesn't help.

For example I've set it to pegasusq and it gave over 4000 score points (WOW),one minute later it gave 2300.

I really don't know what happens.

I have tried using Ultimate ROM and N8XT ROM with all my apps installed, but I even couldn't browse the internet. My old Xperia X10 wasn't even lagging like that. All the background processes closed immediately.

I launched the Titanium Backup to backup all my apps. Then I switched to browser. 25 sec. and it was closed. Titanium Backup closed, launcher too (TSF Shell)

So please, do You maybe know the reason of these laggs, or can You recommend some good ROM (Best if stock based, with multiwindow)

[LG Optimus 2x] bitdomo:
I think the voltage level is wrong. Programmers made a misstake It should show you 3675 mV or 3675000 microV or 3,765 V.

If your battery is about 2 years old then that is normal that your battery goes to empty after 7-8 hours of regulare usage
[LG Optimus 2x] SREEPRAJAY:
One small correction....you will find the 3675000 with KK125 ALSO...as [MENTION=3783116]pengus77[/MENTION] said, it is the way the battery is read....in ICS it is 3675mV and the CM 10 and CM 10.1 reports it as 367000....so nothing wrong...just check if you have apps draining(Better BatteryStats app from xda forum) or maybe finally the battery is bad if it is too old.

But when I got it, it doesn't appear as I thought.

It's just that when I got it, it had this paper sticker on the back saying iploxe,

It does not have a lightning connector but microUSB.

Seems like you gave been scammed with a cheaper version of an iPhone fake which was sold as the GooPhone i5 to you. Go look at the review videos on YouTube and compare those devices to your device.

Tonight my cycle started over. It is only 1:39 am and already I have used 16 anytime minutes. But I have made NO calls. And even if I did, I have free nights and weekends.

Something similar happened to me a while back. It was when I had my Gnex. What is was is that I went over my minutes usage for the first time since I've been with Verizon, so I emailed and asked them for curtousy minutes. They gave me 150 courtesy minutes but I somehow managed to go over them too. But once I checked my call details online, I noticed some calls that were in there that were not in my call log and I did not place and they were 30+ minute calls. I called Verizon and they didn't address the problem at all. She was more concerned about the "insane" amount of minutes we went over. We ended up having to pay for a larger phone minute plan that month, but we had no answer to the mysterious phone calls but they stopped after that..

Vzw had this issue about a year ago on a lot of plans. The phone bills were showing long calls to the operator and charging minutes.

Hope you had better luck the most of the customers I tried to help!
