Download the factory image from Google, unzip twice, find the flash-all.bat file and open it in notepad. From the last line delete the "-w " flag, save and close. Put your phone in bootloader mode and execute flash-all.bat. you will have a 4.3 and keep all your data

Since the update I went out with 95% battery and used Google Maps Nav GPS for 20mins and it dropped me to 75%. I then used Strava (GPS cycling tracker) which dropped me to 32% in 50 mins with screen off. Reported Stava had used 61%, screen 12%, Maps 8% etc.

Before, I've used Strava for 4 hours for less battery use than that 50 mins. Can't really blame the app when Google Maps Nav was sucking it massively as well.

Anyone else had this?

Is it safe to say if I flash a custom 4.3 ROM then fastboot the userdata from the official system dump it'll be the equivalent of flashing GAPPS?

I'm also having radio issues. Phone will show empty triangle when brought out of sleep.

Sometimes the signal will fade over a 20 second period.

Both can be fixed by turning airplane mode on then back off. Highly annoying, never noticed this on 4.2.2.

Dialing issue

I have a weird problem since the update

every time i try to call someone, the first time I dial it immediately hangs up

and the second time it works just fine.

even if I call two different contacts it hangs up on the first one and works with the second one.

I tried clearing the phone app data and cache... didn't work.

I'm using the stock app btw and the problem persists to other third party dialer apps as well.

any ideas?:eek:

EDIT:

I had a radiation tracking app called tawkon that caused the problem. reinstalling fixed it.
[Nexus 4 General] notfaded1:
i tried this and still my original dialer icon is wrong...

I did reflash directly from google image minus -w option. I'm now convinced losing the dialer has something to do with my data. Using ex-dialer in the meantime. I may go ahead and do reflash with -w and reload my apps.

I am also getting empty signal triangle with 4.3 if I use 3G networks where I live. I cant call anything and 3G data refuses to work unless I'm in the city centre.

If I switch to 2G/GPRS then I get full signal whereever I am.

I had this issue with 4.1. When I got the OTA for 4.2.2 the signal issue dissappeared.

Now with 4.3 its back and worse than 4.1.

Doesnt anyone test this crap anymore?

Is it possible to stick the 4.2.2 radio software back into 4.3? If so how?

Since updating to 4.3 and Rooting I can't get loads of stuff in Tasker to work (despite installing, updating and setting up Secure Settings).

Things like activating Airplane mode, GPS on/off, Silence Ringer etc are all redded out in the options.

This makes me sad cos now there's loads of cool Taskery tricks I can't do :(

Otherwise 4.3 is great and all you naysayers are wrong :p

If you use RTL languages like Hebrew Google did the RTL very wrong and it seems they haven't paid attention to any details
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
They reversed the System UI on purpose since System UI is full of reverse code.
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyGusta:
well than that is just wrong to reverse everything without paying attention to detail a lot of icons are reversed in a bad way and overall looks like a sloppy job of as you said just reversing everything

like for example the dialer app when you swipe to the left in the numpad it doesn't let you even though the tabs on the top suggest you to swipe to the left to get to the call log
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Somehow this seems racist to the people who speak Hebrew. O.o
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyGusta:
im from israel and use hebrew as my phone's languages yes I got used to it but is still bugs me.. and i really don't call anybody racist just lazy :D

my guass is that they gave that job to someone who doesn't speak one of the RTL languages and doesn't know how to do it the right way i hope it will all be fixed when kitkat arrives
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
I mean they already did the language part but why do they have to reverse the whole System UI?, maybe they could be doing it for fun. :P
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyGusta:
yea I don't understand that either on 4.2.2 it was just right without all that stupid reversed systemUI things
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Google always like to have fun but they really messed up on this one, let's hope that this is fixed in KitKat since they did do major System UI tweaks which could mean a major System UI rebuild.

I hope they even know about that and people reported that :eek:

1) problem with .nomedia trick and stock gallery.

-folder with xy pics -> it's showing in gallery

-inserted .nomedia file in that folder -> folder is not shown in gallery anymore

-received another image which goes into that folder(for better understanding it's Viber folder) so now there are xy+1 image in that folder -> in gallery there is Viber folder with 1 image

-received another image -> Viber folder in galley now have 2 images (last 2)

-phone restart doesn't help

-clearing gallery data/cache doesn't help

-deleting .nomedia file and puting it again in that folder helps.

I know older versions of android had problem with gallery not automatically scanning, but instead you needed to force re-scan or clear data/cache.

2) problem with dial-pad autocomplete

-searching by names works ok

-searching by numbers doesn't work like it's shown in this image: http://www.android.com/images/smart-dialer-animated_v2.gif

number: 012 345 6789

unless i start typing number from 12... it won't find it.

345-doesn't work

6789-doesn't work

789- doesn't work

1234- works

Ideas, solutions? :)
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Looks like Google has been testing a fake number for auto correct lol.

The .nomedia one probably gets only scanned when it is removed and then scanned when it is added, the gallery remains not updating the list.

[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Actually the screen is suppose to go black to save battery, the headphones one is normal as well in a way.
[Nexus 4 General] stuart0001:
Its deliberate to stop your ear accidentally pressing stuff. Thats why it doesn't happen when on headphones or speaker. All Android phones do this.

When it comes to gaming, the stock n4 is poorly optimized.

Every graphical benchmark (Quadrant i.e) or game I tried on my stock n4 (including another two n4's, which I RMA'd), stuttered and performed poorly (in comparison to one x or even galaxy s2).

you'll probably have to flash a custom kernel in order to play games normally.

For the first time ever.. My N4 did not heat up at all while playing temple run.
[Nexus 4 General] Arunabh:
I'll probably disagree with you there.

Gaming even on the stock n4 is pretty impressive and if at all i needed custom kernels for games it was because i wanted a better graphical performance out of the game and NOT because it didn't run well.

(And ive had plenty of experiences with alot of kernels and roms on various games to say this that its not POOR)

The only reason why i think huge games like the nfs dont look that good on the n4 is because of the stock colour calibration WHICH INDEED IS POOR.

Although kernels CAN(& DO) make a huge difference.

Notifications delay. Guess they haven't fixed it yet.

[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
I guess by screwing up sound u mean it has become way too low? If that's what u meant then yeah it has become wayyyy to less. I didn't notice it earlier because when i play games i set the volume too low so that's people around do no get disturbed.

Rooted. Stock recovery. I end up reset factory and no issue.probably some other apps clash with 4.3
[Nexus 4 General] Fatherboard:
Maybe i expect too much, but the Nexus is unable to provide a constant 60fps in most games i tried. The worst thing is that it stutters occasionally and that drives me nuts. The cpu downclocks itself to 1.1ghz once the battery reaches 38c' (quite easy when you hold the device in your hand) and there are too many hiccupa imo for me to be playable. Even the 2nd test in quadrant (corridor/temple thingy) stutters whilst the one x manages to run it perfectly smooth. I really was expecting much better performance from the s4 pro.
[Nexus 4 General] Arunabh:
I'd have to agree about games not even hitting that 60fps mark but i wouldnt blame the s4 pro as this same little piece of hardware alao powers alot more devices that perform better 'graphically'(i dont experience stutters at all). I mean ive had the s2 and the galaxy note but theyre nowhere close to the performance of this phone and i can say that coz im using the n4 and the s2 right now.

Yes,the calibration on the s2 is amazing and the htc one x blows the best screens apart but this aint as bad.

If the htc rated 10 id give this ATLEAST A 9 on "stock settings" and this is absolutely at par if not better than the one x WITH a custom kernel.

No offence intended sir.

Just my 2 cents.:)
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Get "Permission Manager" in the Play Store, it is a shortcut to App Ops which is where you can change the permissions.
[Nexus 4 General] CoolApps:
Managed to get the Gallery to get the Native Crash which means it could be the OS which is causing the partial issue.

When togging the WiFi toggle on there is a 1 second delay until it says "Turning on WiFi..." and then 3 seconds delay to scan automatically.

[Nexus 4 General] Drmol:
Has it been confirmed whether the notification delay bug was fixed or not? I've seen people saying it is and other saying it's not :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] namurt:
in the official stock images (as well as the OTA, of course) the notification delay over wifi bug was NOT fixed. this is build JWR66V of 4.3. in the latest build pushed to AOSP, the bug IS fixed. this is build JSS15J of 4.3.

and from what i've heard/read, they will not be recompiling and re-pushing OTA with JSS15J. so it looks like users who want to remain bone-stock with both rom and kernel are kinda screwed.

anyone running a custom rom will be fine, because they're all built from AOSP and will contain the fix found in JSS15J.

I think this is an app issue, but it is still 4.3 related. Spotify crashes often when I listen to 2-3 songs in a row. Pretty much results in me having to have my phone out and getting ready to play from the start often. Problem is, I don't really want to try and work too much on fixing this issue yet because I don't have the internet speeds to download all my offline songs again and would like to be able to listen on the plane ride home.

[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Sorry to doubt you, but - are you sure?

JSS15J was forked so that late changes for the new N7 wouldn't affect the N4 and the other platforms. I find it suprising that Google would put in a generic bug fix at such a late stage.
