Still love the Nexus 4

So? Who cares if the Moto X or the Moto XXX is coming out? I'm happy with my Nexus 4 and don't really care for the latest and greatest specs. I've been through a few smartphones and the Nexus 4 (didn't own a Gnex) is the first one that works properly when flashing custom roms and kernels. Maybe it was my bad luck but the other smartphones would always have an issue or two after flashing a custom rom. Nexus 4 doesn't even flinch :laugh: .

What's the point of having the fastest phone? Stability and support far outweighs speed improvements in my book. It's like a Core i7 vs a Core i3. Sure Core i7 is faster, but what percentage of the total computer runtime do you actually use that speed AND was something that a Core i3 couldn't handle?? Right now the Nexus 4 handles everything that I've installed on it.

What I love about the Nexus series is the SUPPORT and Development that goes towards the device. SUPPORT IS KING! You can't buy support like this, even if you cried ballz to Rich Daddy. I've flashed and reflashed this device multiple times and it still works with no issues, or anything that can't be solved with a simple restart. My list:

- HTC HD7: would reset all its memory EVERY WEEK as if it were a new baby, and greets you with the stupid "Welcome to your new T9292" screen. Oh, and you'd lose all your contacts, pictures, music, EVERYTHING!!

- HTC MyTouch 3G: charging was flaky even with new charger and cable. Was fine with stock ROM.

- HTC EVO 4G: Screen stopped working. Tried a lot of fixes but eventually tossed it.

- HTC Touch Pro 2: Constant restarting, WIFI Issues, network issues, etc. Garbage.

- Apple iPhone 3G: After jailbreaking and almost a month later, touch stopped working. Replaced the screen + digitizer and did not help.

- Motorola Droid Bionic: Constant restarting. Dropped calls. Slow internet browsing.

- T-mobile G2: Flashed custom ROM and worked for almost two weeks. Then it decided to brick itself. Just shows logo only half the time after pulling out battery and turning on. The other half, black screen.

- Samsung Focus: Gives you the stupid Picture that wants you to connect it to the computer via USB cable. Yeah, it actually FORGETS THE ROM!!

Nice list, eh? Now, Nexus 4: A few months of use, and a couple rom and kernel flashes later, and NO MAJOR PROBLEMS!! Rare lag issue occurs but a restart fixes that. ALL THIS, is why I'll stick with the Awesomesauceness of the Nexus 4 and will ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTE!!! :D
[Nexus 4 General] DirgeExtinction:
What most techies don't seem to understand is that Motorola isn't aiming the Moto X at the spec-whores. They're aiming it at the average consumer that cares about what a phone can/will do for them. They don't care if a phone has 4-8 cores. They don't care if a phone has 2800mAh battery. They don't care if it has XGB of RAM. All consumers care about is: Can this phone's battery last all day? Can it take good pictures? What features does this phone have that separates it from the others? Is this phone easy to use? Is it smooth?

That's Motorola's target audience. And in that sense, they may succeed.
[Nexus 4 General] ryan.dawkins:
The said that a phone isn't all about specs. The nexus devices are also not supposed to be top of the line specs, but cheaper off contract phones to show off the beauty of stock Android.

Motorola is ran completely separate, and the device was not aimed towards those looking at specs that know nothing more than looking at numbers. They're taking a software optimization approach to make their phones perform better.
[Nexus 4 General] lyrical22:
Motorola stated that they are a separate company and that can be seen from the android version on the Moto X. If Google and Motorola were really under one leadership they would have at least put Android 4.3 on it. I mean this is just a simple assumption of mine but it is backed up by the numerous statements released from both Motorola and Google.

Moto x makes me feel better about jumping on the nexus 4 train late. :)
[Nexus 4 General] cewrld:
That's right, but Google might use Motorola as a Nexus manufacturer, but I don't think that they'll do that for Nexus 5.
[Nexus 4 General] md1008:
I don't think we will see a moto nexus. Did not Google say it wants to maintain good relations with other OEMS and not show favoritism. Samsung is more than big enough to invest in its own OS and x out Android.
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
I don't know whether to get a n4 or wait to see what the n5 will be like

Also I do believe sometime in the future we will see a moto x, googles running out of company's to try. Also I don't believe Samsung will develop their own is for one too muc work and too expensive. Samsung wouldn't be the same without android.
[Nexus 4 General] konfidential:
Nexus ftw!.... pure android....no worries here...BTW Motorola sucks balls...go back to Verizon and continue to make those sh**y razrs :D rant
[Nexus 4 General] laker666:
I don't know why everyone is convinced that Google has a track record of selling their products cheap.... Aside from the nexus 4 and 7 their other products have been very expensive off contract
[Nexus 4 General] DirgeExtinction:
Nexus Q and Google Glass, anyone?
[Nexus 4 General] mymeatb18:
Well I think they were trying something and saw it worked so I think they will keep with the same route as they did with the n7 2 only $30 more than the last
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
Moto x has nothing to do with Nexus devices. When Google edition phones came out, everyone was scared to death cause they saw these devices as nexus killers. Now when moto x came out, same story again. Second thing, when will you people realize that hardware isn't the most important part of the smartphone? It's the way you use it, innovations it provides. Smartphone isn't just bunch of snapdragons and gigs of ram. And who says iPhone 5 is higher-end device than moto x? I don't see that it has better hardware or screen? Can someone explain to me why is everyone like 'omg moto x is 200$ on contract, just like all mighty iPhone 5 which is higher-end???' it's because of the iPhone's name. It's because of the same thing s4 is higher-end than n4, and still, my friend who ownes s4 is shocked at how my n4 performs faster.

N4, stock 4.3 + franco

What u said is exactly right .BTW no need to worry everyone Google will not stop making nexus devices cuz they already made a huge success making nexus devices and more and more people are buying nexus devices all over the world

I remember with Windows Phone 7, when an update would come out, people would grab the files off of Microsoft's servers, and there was a command prompt based tool we could use to install the updates ourselves. Is there any way to do that with Windows Phone 8? I'm tired of waiting for GDR2.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanml82:
My phone charges just fine when connected to a computer, but it will not charge, at all, from an AC plug. I've tried the official adapter, adapters which came with other devices, other cables... and there is no way the phone would charge from any AC plug. Other devices charge perfectly fine using the same adapters.

Is that something which I can troubleshoot myself, or I need to take it to some official tech service?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xperia Player:
I would say that the AC adapter is shot but if it's charging other things, it's not.

Try removing the battery for 2 minutes, put it back in, plug up the phone, then turn it on.

When I use kernel_dump to dump it in a non existing folder, it says "FAILURE to create output folder /sdcard/dump! Pllease try another folder!"

If I use a existing folder it says "FAILURE to dump boot.img to /sdcard/Download! Pllease try another folder!"

Hi, I bought L9 so it's time to give my old good Optimus Black to my wife. This would be her first Android, so I don't want let her down.

Which ROM would you recommend for her?

Basic requirements:

- SUPER STABLE (no SODs!)

- Camera with good picture and video performance

Preferable:

- Good battery life

- No lags

Doesn't matter:

- GPS

- Gaming performance

I guess he is talking about the OB ;) Well I d still opt for stock GB. Seems rock-solid to me, fluid in normal usage, good cam, battery always was good for me as well. I d probably just root it, install CWM, remove some stuff I dont need, install greenify (it really saves juice) and you ll be good to go ;)
[LG Optimus Black] maludroid:
I meant giving her my Old Good Black :) as N00BY0815 pointed.

Thanks mate. Your voice is important to me, I'll give it a try. Regarding stock GB I am just affraid of lags after days of use.

Did you switch from Black to L9 too? Great! I didn't notice it earlier.

Did you change your mind about tablets in cars, then? ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] croques:
Ha ha - mmm. No, I think you may have mis-understood. I would never plan to use an induction charger (what everyone calls a wireless charger) in a car for any device because it gets too hot.

But that doesn't preclude the use of a tablet in a car.

I think if someone could exploit the Peltier effect within an induction charger so as to cool the device - that could be useful. But it might guzzle juice!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Accessories] lorddralnu:
Hey, that's not a bad idea! Instead of using just an aluminum shield behind the coil, install this (http://www.amazon.com/TEC1-12705-Thermoelectric-Peltier-Cooler-40mm/sim/B002UQKEU8/2) behind the coil, mounted to an aluminum plate which would serve as the rear cover of the device. Allowing the voltage to charge the circuits involved in the dock will move the heat from the coil to the aluminum plate... hmm...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mjolly:
OK, so bear with me, as I haven't rooted a phone is quite a while, and am having trouble locating just what I need. My goal is strictly to root the phone, I don't necessarily want to move off my os, as I am happy with it (Jellybean 4.1.2). If that is required, my apologies for being so uninformed on the process.

Here is my phone info:

Samsung Galaxy SII SCH-R760X (Carolina West Wireless is the carrier, but my recent rom stated that it was CDMA generic).

Android Ver = 4.1.2

Build = JZO54K.SCH-R760X.GB28

Kernel = 3.0.31-980103

Hardware version = H:R760.01 K.Q

I have tried to find an updated version of CF-ROOT, or something similar...but open to suggestions.

Thanks!

will give it a try

I saw this one, but kind of assumed it would overwrite my updated rom. Since I still have the updater for jellybean (from Carolina West), I guess I can always go back to the way it is now if I don't care for it...so I will give it a shot. Thanks for the info! I appreciate it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mjolly:
Nope

That didn't work out for me. Took a while to locate a good link for the kernel, but it seems to load fine with Odin, but I get the startup screen with a yellow triangle, and it doesn't move past that. I had my doubts as it seemed to be older than my current os/etc., but gave it a shot anyhow. I think the kernel is the only thing I need (as I only need root, not the custom rom, unless I have to)...so if I can get that working, all will be great. Thanks in advance for any additional direction.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ammuica:
The story is I was having a lot of general problems with my Sprint HTC One. I was using it with CyanogenMod 10.1 and I noticed it was getting VERY warm. I then noticed that the battery was at 21%, I had hardly used it all day. It would normally have been around 94% percent. So I was shocked. Then I noticed that is would make weird clicking and "eek" noises when I would browse the Operating system. It would make an especially annoying noise when I would turn on the LED Camera light. I also noticed that the battery would drop about 1 percent ever 30 seconds.

I immediately shut it off and plugged it into my charger (AC). I opened up ClockworkMod and wiped my cache and dalvik cache and then did a factory reset from ClockworkMod. The problems still occured. I then tried flashing an Earlier version of CyanogenMod 10.1. The problem still occured. So I let my battery charge up to 50% (it took a especially long to charge, it would actually lose a charge while charging at times) and then used RUU tool to flash it to Complete Stock. That got rid of the weird noises caused during the operating system use. But the battery continued to run hot and take especially long to charge (somtimes the battery level actually was dropping). I then installed an app to control the frequency of the CPU. It was set to always run at 1.7GHz. So I fixed that and made the minimum Frequency the lowest option and the Max Frequency 1.7GHz. That solved the charging problem.

I left it to charge over night and by the morning it was at 100%, so I unplugged it and turned it off. I thought I had solved everything. I left the phone alone for about 4 hours and when I checked on it, it would not boot whatsoever. I could not not even get into the Bootloader! Then I plugged it back into the charger to find out that the Orange charging indicator LED would NOT light up! So for now, it is just sitting in the charger without the charging indicator light lit up.

I would also like to mention that I am not the original owner. I bought this phone used. It does not have the normal Sticker on the back of the phone to indicate the Serial Number etc. And since I am not the original owner, I do not believe I qualify for a replacement warranty. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ammuica:
Am I able to get a replacement even though I'm not the original owner?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] krazyflipj:
If you are under service they should. Phone is still under manufacturer warranty. If you don't have insurance, worst case scenario you pay $50 for a refurb/new phone. Of course that's if they can't repair
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ammuica:
It is not under service. I Bought it with the plan of not using it on a contract because I cannot afford a data plan, but I would still like to use an android smartphone.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ammuica:
But will they still replace it if I'm not using it with a plan? I bought it from someone else and I never re-activated it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ammuica:
I've called sprint and since I don't have the phone under my account and since it is not activated, they will not repair it. So a replacement/repair is out of the question. So is there anyway I can fix this myself? I'm familiar with flashing and all that stuff, so any of that stuff is just fine.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
There is no way you can repair this yourself.

And eek! This problem's back? What? You were using the latest nightly too?

And since you have no warranty (pretty sure its non transferable), you should look up JTAG services. $60. It may not be as clean as you'd like, though. Besides, HTC repair service wouldn't fix your device for free because, even though the device is bricked, they can see your tampered boot loader. They charged me $200. I probably won't root again.

This has happened to at least a dozen people, but all if them were before July 3rd. This is kind of disturbing.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ammuica:
Hey, it's always worth a try. I always used the latest nightly. I updated whenever they pushed a new update. I had it running CyanogenMod 10.1 Nightly for over a month without a single problem. I've been using it on my Galaxy Nexus for over a year. This is the first time it's ever given me a problem.

I'll look into the JTAG, but if anyone else has any ideas I'm up to try anything. The bright light while holding Volume Down + Power didn't work for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Admiral Sir Manley Power:
OP.... wow. Just wow.

So you have the device's processor spinning at 1.7 GHz constantly, and you are wondering why it is warm? You are also running a custom OS with a myriad of bugs and issues, and you are wondering why now your device isn't working properly.

Unbelievable. You shouldn't be playing around with its powerful hardware if you have absolutely no clue what you are doing, don't you think?

Sent from my SM-N900T
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ammuica:
I did know what I was doing. I was running a stock build flashed by RUU. So I assumed that it would have a decent frequency management (that should be a safe assumption). I know what I'm doing when it comes to android's. I'm not stupid enough to have the CPU running at the full 1.7 GHz. Immediately after it started getting warm again that was the first thing I checked. Normally I underclock my devices. I usually have my Galaxy Nexus run at 700 MHz. I've also been using Nightly builds for my Nexus for over a year and I've found it to be stable enough to decide to flash it on my HTC One. And until 2 nights ago, It was perfectly stable.

I've done no fault on my own. I personally blaim HTC for pumping out a ROM that let it run at 1.7GHz 24/7, even unrooted.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ammuica:
Also to include, while I was running CM 10.1 I had my CPU set to a minimum of ~300MHz (forget exact frequency) and a maximum of 1.7GHz. I'm not stupid enough to set it to run at 1.7GHz 24/7 for any reason whatsoever. I was shocked when I saw that it had been running at 1.7GHz 24/7 (had only been running for an hour in sleep mode at that point before I fixed it).
