Just a little insight ive got the optimus g pro, 5.5in 1080 ips/lcd with snapdragon 600/adreno 320. As for the stutter theory, out the window. Og pro has no lag at all. None. As for battery og pro has 3140 and gets almost 2 full days for an average user. With a smaller screen, and the smaller processes in the chips themselves plus the g-ram thing I'm honestly thinking 3 days on a charge with quad control on might not be too far fetched lol

The S600 and S4 Pro are way to similar to see deployment in another nexus. It would be cool to finally see the A57 and A53's put to use even in a dual config.
[G2 General] Ascertion:
For me, Sprint is likely not going to even have access to a Nexus 5 device so I'm going to have to run the LG G2 and simply flash an AOSP rom onto it.
[G2 General] shuwoo:
Also, the Nexus 4 was the fourth nexus phone? nexus one, nexus s, galaxy nexus, nexus 4
[G2 General] RaptorMD:
Well the Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 are named for their screen sizes not the device generation. The Nexus phones have been named for their generational launches. Hence Nexus 5.

I am sending my GS4 back to wait it out a few weeks, see what the GN3 announcement is like and what the Verizon rumors turn into. Plus it will give time for the G2 to launch, allow me to play with it and wait for the GN3. I will be picking up a GS3 off ebay for now.

Google can always drop the processor down on the Nexus 5 to a S600 and save money and also cut storage down to 8/16 options instead of 16/32 since so many people think more storage is overrated anyways.
[G2 General] jsilvermist:
That's not even storage, you need 32 GB just to install a few games even.

What makes you think Motorola is making the next nexus? Just because Google owns them? Do you have concrete facts supporting this or is it just speculation? I'm curious.:confused:

My good man it was a marvelous feast I had with the gentleman. We began our meeting with coffee lite on the sugar with plenty of milk, then we moved onto the main course of Lobster and Salmon. During consumption I brought up my previous dealings and explained my current stake in the company, however note that he was relatively reluctant to speak his mind as if we were under surveillance.

Truth be told my Google Glass likely intimidated him, so I removed my pair and bestowed them to his excellency for the time being. Once he was in a secure state with a emotional reduction, I gradually began to mention the Moto X and its resemblance to the N4. Naturally, this erupted a reaction, which it did, he ended up explaining Moto's involvement with project Nexus could improve in coming years actually. While not directly, it was clear the Moto X's 8-core would influence the N5's hardware set.

[G2 General] DubelBoom:
The 8mp shooter on the Optimus G (AT&T I think) is the same one on the Nexus 4, and better than the 13mp shooter on other Optimus G models.

I think the Nexus 5 will come with Snapdragon 800, the 13mp with OIS shooter and *maybe* even 3GB RAM (even though I doubt it).

Anyway, it will probably be a pretty awesome device, and I'm definitely waiting for it!
[G2 General] amonrei:
I thought this phone would be massive. But recently i just compared my One X with a friends' S4 and there's not much difference except that i found that the bezel is thin. Then i stumbled upon a comparison video between the G2 & S4 / One. The One is actually taller because of the speakers. And boy the bezel on the G2 makes the S4 bezel looks thick.:cyclops:
[G2 General] cathain:
Interesting, I think I'll wait to see exactly what the specs are for the Nexus 5 before I commit to the G2 but if what it says in that article is true then I would probably pay the extra for the G2. Although if KLP has some killer features then that could also sway me.

Last year the Nexus 4 was announced October 29th but I would imagine in the weeks leading up the leaks will get more and more accurate.
[G2 General] mrjimyjohn:
I would love to see a Motorola N5 with a Snapdragon 800. 5" screen would be plenty. Hell, if they had to keep it at 720p to keep the price down I'd still buy it.

That being said, a G2 twin at $350 would be ****ing awesome.
[G2 General] ashirviskas:
Nexus 5 is never gonna to look like that. It's too.. Cheap.. I think new nexus will be just larger and better nexus 4 ;)
[G2 General] randomnoob83:
Have you seen the galaxy nexus?
[G2 General] mrjimyjohn:
This, lol.

The N4 was the first nexus that felt "premium" IMO. The HTC Nexus One wasn't too bad but both of Samsung's devices looked/felt pretty cheap.

[G2 General] randomnoob83:
Either way it still isn't meant to compete with flagship devices
[G2 General] MarcAntonyy:
I am personally torn on what do buy. My contract is up in 6 days, with Sprint, and in my area Sprint is horrifying - I cannot wait to get away from them. I get .3down and .5up most of the time and even when I do get in a 4G area of the city I'm getting like 3mb down and 1mb up.

My choices:

Samsung Galaxy S4 Google Edition w/ TMO's $60/mo unlimited everything *cost-effective over time*.

LG G2 on *not sure which carrier or plan - but overall duration cost is a factor*

Wait for the Nexus 5 - which I soooo want to do, but have no idea when release and if I can wait two months

The questions that are eating me up are 1) when could I have the N5 in my hands, 2) will inadequate XDA development be a factor for the GS4 Google Edition, and 3) even though the G2 will launch sooner than the N5, will the additional time to root and get quality, stable AOSP development going on it offset the fact that it is launching sooner than the N5 (which will have absurd development from the word go).

I’m so ready to get off Sprint and get some new hotness in my hands, the GS4 GE is calling my name hard, but I can’t shake the notion of waiting it out a bit longer may pay off with a much better overall experience.

*Sorry I'm not adding to the discussion. Just hoping to get some impartial input or thoughts.
[G2 General] hockeyfamily737:
Exact same boat my friend. Sprint's KILLING me. I would say hold off on the S4 though. I'm really impatient too, but I think it's best to wait out the announcement and release of all the Q4 devices, before jumping on something that's already been out for several months.
[G2 General] monkeypie1234:
Same here, but not in USA or carrier tied. Been wanting to upgrade from my GNex. Guess it really depends on what you rate as important.

For me its:

1. Developer Support

2. Specifications and hardware

3. Price

For phones, I have these options:

1. the GS4 (i9500);

2. the LG G2 (Korean version avaialble now); or

3. wait for the official release of the LG G2 (international version).

4. wait for the Nexus 5

Right now the biggest issue is developer support. I've considered the Korean LG G2, but am not sure about the developer support for it (or whether it is essentially the same as the international version when it comes to dev? it is unlikely). The intl' version of it also raises issues with the non-removable battery and non-expandable SD card, although if there is dev support, it will be better.

As for the S4, the version I can get is the octa-core, which doesn't have official Roms from CM or AOKP, which I used previously. It has been out for a few months and the price has dropped. There is SD expansion and the battery is removable (important for those bootloops if I bork a ROM flash).

I've considered waiting for the N5, but I won't get the low prices in the USA, but closer to the above phones and with inferior specs, but with great developer support.
[G2 General] rbinary:
I'm in ~exactly the same position as monkeypie1234, but I'm fairly tempted to wait for the Nexus 5 announcement before making a decision. Unfortunately (in terms of tech) I'm in Australia, so we get everything 3 months later than the US for ~25% more :(
[G2 General] jakichan77:
I feel like 5 inches is getting to the "too much screen" category. The HTC One's 4.9 inch screen is enough for me. Waiting for the HTC one max is hell because the tech upgrades are spectacular but the 5.9 inch screen? Were turning phones into tablets here guys. Isnt the idea to fit more hardware in a smaller place? Or are we trying to attempt 80's/90's size cell phones with touch screens. It just gets to me haha.
[G2 General] hockeyfamily737:
Screen size is really a personal preference thing. It's also not necessarily a reflection of overall device size. The G2 has a 5.2" screen and the HTC One has a 4.7" screen (not 4.9"), however both devices have a very similar overall footprint due to the LG's thinner bezel and edge to edge LCD. Biggest downside to the One (IMO of course) is that the 4 mp camera just doesn't offer enough clarity. Particularly viewing them from a pc.
[G2 General] xboxfanj:
The battery on the Korean version is different, so kernels will not be compatible. Every other variant should have kernels compatible with every other device though.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Parthalucky:
Hello friends, developers and users, i dont think i have got the permission to even ask this of u but still have gathered my courage.

This time i am speaking for the MMX A110 community,although this is the Samsung S4 community and i shouldn't post it here

Our device can run CM10.1 but we do not have the kernal sources.

So i humbly ask of u to please help us by signing this petition:

https://www.change.org/en-IN/petitions/micromax-informatics-ltd-

MMX is not like Samsung and doesnt even release their kernal, but the A110 is a good device and i wish to help the developers in anyway i can even if by begging

I will post this in Xperia and HTC device threads also but Samsung is a large community and we would like ur help. Thank U for listening to me.

Who am I to say all this?

Just a kid with brain full of ideas and simple dream to make device better than manufacturers stock rom

Why am I posting it here?

Becoz this way interaction between the developers and users of diffrent community will be more and we will help everyone that way and in the end our devices will benefit better from it.

Thanks for hearing me out but still i beg u to just sign it

[Google Chromecast] richs10:
I'm having a problem getting ChromeCast to send audio through my Yamaha AV Receiver setup. I'm using a Sharp LC-60C46U LCD TV that has two HDMI inputs. One is used for the Cable and the other is used for the Chromecast, BluRay or the HDMI cable for my Computer/Galaxy S4 (as needed). The 5.1 Surround Sound is sent to my Yamaha HTR-5150 AV Receiver using the Optical Digital Audio Output since the Receiver pre-dates HDMI inputs. This set-up has worked fine for everything so far except the ChromeCast. Using ChromeCast, I get picture, but no sound through the Yamaha. Chromecast does give me audio through the TV speakers if I turn them on, but not through the Yamaha surround sound.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Rich
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreroman:
Is there a way to get the nook reader app from B&N to work on any rooted mod? I need it in order to read the book I had previously purchased and I don't want to dual boot. I just want the app to work. I keep getting an error say "SD Card Not Detected. The NOOK application needs an sdcard to function properly. Please verify that an sdcard is installed and mounted" even when I have an sdcard installed. Thanks in advance for any insight to this problem.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aperezdc:
You can either use a SD card, or edit /system/etc/vold.fstab to use the second partition in the Nook internal memory as a SD card. To do the later, edit the file (e.g. using Root Browser, or doing sdb remount && sdb shell vi /system/etc/vold.fstab), then change sdcard0 to sdcard1, and sdcard1 to sdcard0, save the file, and reboot your Nook to get the second internal partition mounted as if it was the SD card.

I hope this helps :)
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The error message makes it sound like you do not have your SD formatted properly. If it is not, then the app would not read it properly. Try formatting it in your PC using SDFormatter which you can get free on the web.

However, you are confusing me. That error message comes from the Android version of the nook app, not the stock version. Are you running something besides stock? If you are running something else, try CM7. It has a setting to allow the apps to use internal memory for those users that do not have a working SD.

acklisn Purchase

Is there a option in TWRP that will do that before I install the rom?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
No. But if you install CM7, there is a setting for it.

Edit: if you want to use apps without an SD, CM7 is your best bet. While you can hack CM10.1 to do the same thing, it is flacky. CM removed the setting in CM10.1 just because of that.

The setting is in cyanogenmod settings, something about allowing apps to use internal memory.

It may be considered as flaky, but at least for me editing vold.fstab has been working fine consistently from CM9 onwards.
