[Nexus 4 General] finbaar:
I was being sarcastic. Next time I will flag it clearly.

The point I was trying and failing to put across was don’t whinge about things inherent in the spec sheet. You know what the storage is and whether it is expandable before you buy. You know the battery is sealed in. You know it has soft buttons. You know it has a glass back. All these are objective. I understand that any or all of them could piss you off but banging on about them makes you look stupid. Why buy the bloody thing?

Things that legitimately can be moaned about are screen quality, battery life, in hand speed, camera quality etc. These only become apparent in use and are subjective. And yes yes you could argue that all of them could be measured and so become objective but in reality we all have our own personal use case scenarios.

Personally I do read reviews and look at the specs. Of course the reviews make no difference to my buying choices as I think I know better than the reviewers. In fact the most important thing for me is the ease of hackability which is why I moved to the GNex and then the N4 and why I will get the next Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] Nigeldg:
[SARCASM] [/SARCASM] tags usually get the job done pretty damn well ;)

As for complaining about things you knew about beforehand, just because you knew about them before purchase doesn't mean you can't be disappointed about it. I was disappointed when it was announced with only 8/16 options rather than 16/32 and it's still something people have an issue with. Even though I'm fine with 16 GB, the storage options are still something I dislike about the Nexus 4. Sure, it's stupid to act surprised about it, but there's nothing wrong with not liking it.
[Nexus 4 General] forever_lol:
This. Why do not buy a great phone if I don't like merely 2,3 details about it? There are unfortunately no different N4 variants to choose. I want Nexus4 with its specs, update policy, devs support, PRICE etc. I really don't like the idea of the glass back. I think it's the most stupid design since iphone4. However If I want to enjoy the advantages of N4 I must accept this disadvantage and deal with it (e.g. use a case which is not a problem for me) but not start to like it :)
[Nexus 4 General] dmnall:
Personally after running a galaxy s captivate and galaxy s2 i777 *even with aokp*, the n4 is superior! I prefer the software buttons vs touch sensitive buttons my previous phones had. Yes the downside of the n4 is lack of external SD support however, I am not finding that too of hindrance. Battery life is stellar compared to my old s2 and cappy, considering I average 24 hours between charges unless I am in a low to no service area and the phone will burn the battery but most phones will either way. There is no perfect phone but the n4 is close. I prefer stock android over touchwiz, motoblur, sense and timescape as well as any other skinned version of android. The camera is not bad at all but if I need better shots that is why I have a DSLR....

Cheers,

Charlie
[Nexus 4 General] - sYndrome -:
I hate that it doesn't support USB audio, so my USB DAC/AMP won't work with it. What makes it even worse is that iPhones can do this.

The Nexus 4 would look much better, if its corners were less round. Battery could be bigger. Camera could be better. The glass surface on the back scratches easily and is too slippery.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Better camera, plastic back etc etc...You could get all these mentioned things by paying an extra 200-300$..

The stock display calibration is terrible. Other than that I'm happy. I find myself missing the AMOLED blacks quite often.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] WillofWillz:
So I had to replace the back cover of my Note II because I dropped it and it was cracked on the sides. I followed a you tube video on how to disassemble it and it was fairly easy. I put on the new back cover but I am having horrible wifi/data signal.

thanks

edit: Fixed it. The connectors weren't raised high enough so it wasn't touching the antenna's on the back housing. Raised it a little so that they would touch and it seems to be working fine now.

[LG Optimus G (International)] kyotodesertfox:
I am seeing a lot of these since my recent CM10.2 update. Although I am not experiencing any issues at the moment, so I am safely assuming that it is just normal background processes, thus ignoring it.

I did a Google search on Sahara protocol, and it listed it as some sort of a possible IPv6 Helper? Anyway, it may be harmless.

Hi,

It seems weird.

Did you drop it or changed anything?

If you have accidently changed few things while playing with any system's tweak app,

Try doing a factory reset. And if you are using BMM, try installing other ROMs available...

[Motorola Atrix 2] skearton:
Is it your APN settings?
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
If other sim cards work then it would seem that you may have a bad, or possibly damaged, sim. Try to get your carrier to replace it for you.

Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vipsmax:
I used different sim of same network but problem still persist. Only problem with airtel network. Sim of all other network works fine.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
If the only problem is with the airtel network sim card(s) then it must be a network issue. I would say at this point you should contact Airtel and be sure that your phone is compatible with their network. They might even be able to offer you a solution like maybe a different sim card, and/or a different service plan that your phone will be able to function on. Either way, it sounds like a network issue rather than a phone issue and should be resolved by Airtel. Sorry I can't be more helpful than that.:o Maybe someone here that is on the same network knows of a workaround.

Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jimbridgman:
I just had to say this... Not being a jerk, but more of a smart arse...

Maybe if you were using airtel instead of suing them it would work.

All kidding aside.

The a2 is known to have issues with some telco's sims, just politely tell them you require a new 64k sim card, and see if that helps. It seems many have had issues with the airtel India sim cards even if they once worked in the phone, and just stopped.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vipsmax:
Thanx buddy

I already tried many other sims of airtel of my friends but the problem is same. Sometimes phone got the signal for 3 to 4 hrs with airtel sim. After that signals accidently lost.
[Motorola Atrix 2] vipsmax:
I also made contact with airtel services. They told me everything. Is fine from their side.
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Do you have the 64k sim card as jimbridgman suggested? If not then try that.

If you do have a 64k sim and it still isn't working then the only thing left that I can think of is hardware failure.

Brought to you by time and relative dimensions in space.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Crossvxm:
My LG Optimus G had a bad start ever aince day one. I love this guy but he gives me headaches at times. Anyhow, before I bricked it in the beginning, truth be told this thing sucked. Videos would play and stop with "buffering" every 15 seconds, website would load up slow, etc. I bricked it to the point where it will never be FULLY stock ever again. I flashed a few different roms like AOKP 4.2.2, etc. All roms I actually tried made wifi worse. AOKP actually had my wifi to one bar (really a dot) and really slow downloads. So I flashed the rom provided by AdriVelazquez here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2178297 since stock was better than anything else, (again, NEVER CAN GO BACK TO FULLY STOCK) and believe it or not this rom has actually made this thing better than any other rom and the original factory stock ZVB i had before. Downloads are fast, wifi bars are good, and the videos play without ever buffering!!! Now enough blabbering and to my point. Why is that? I would love to have different looks on my LS970. I mean sure the stock looks HD and all, but I'm constantly changing roms on every android I have. Does anyone else have a similar issue/issues when your on a different rom? Is there any other way to get it to work good while on another rom? This is just a informational post, not a "help me I think my device is dying post," so feel free to voice opinions. Thanks in advanced

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sanderman123:
Hello experts,

I have a question regarding my phone's internal memory. My new android 4.2.1 phone has 32GB of phone storage, but only 1.5 gigabytes of that is allocated to the "internal storage" partition for app installations etc. The rest is used as an internal SD card for data storage. I also have an actual SD Card of 32GB.

I find the 1.5GB of internal storage a little bit too low and I fear to run out of memory in a few months of intensive use. As I have a large external SD card it is a bit useless for me to also have a huge internal SD card partition and I'd rather add some of that to the 1.5GB of internal storage for apps.

I have googled for quite some time now, but I can only find threads of people trying to extend their internal storage by partitioning an external SD card. This is NOT the same as my problem as my phone storage is large enough but just not properly allocated in my view.

So my question is as follows: is it possible to add a few GB's from my phone storage to my internal storage?

Thanks in advance!

I've been having some troubles with my Optimus g. For starters, today it's been awfully laggy. On top of that its been freezing and booting into a yellow HW error screen. And when it's been freezing it sometimes just makes the screen freak out and get all scan lined. Now my phone won't boot. It appears it won't even charge. I have it plugged in and it does nothing. The most I can make it do right now is if I hold the power button while its plugged in, after about 20 seconds the red led will start flashing. Doesn't do anything past that. Is there any thing I can do to save this phone??

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
Suddenly it won't take a charge.

I have the extra dongle, so I tried a Samsung charger, both with original cable and the dongle plus a male to male USB cable. No combination will charge it. Could it be a) that the charge indicator isn't working (it is decreasing), b) the cable or c) the charger? How can I get a new one? By today's standards I assume the model is discontinued like three months after its release.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kumabjorn:
After fiddling around with alternate cables and chargers, I discovered the problem. This might be applicable for other users, so I'll post it here as a reference.

The sliding prong (they are exchangeable between different countries' outlets) had come loose, but just a tad. It wasn't visible. First after deciding to try the Asus charger with a Samsung tablet, to see if it produced electricity at all, did I discover that it wasn't fully attached. Since I now could charge the Samsung tablet using the ASUS charger I tried it again on the ASUS Transformer, lo and behold it began charging. However, notice that the Samsung charger didn't produce a charge, so it seems to be important that the correct charger is connected. Hence, if you run into charging problems, start with the sliding prong.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhatNoob:
The Asus charger provides a higher voltage than the Samsung. I think 12 to 15 as opposed to the 5 of the Samsung. This has been a headache for tf101 folks since day one. Also you cnat use a regular USB extention cable to make the cord longer. It has to be a USB 3 cable. Glad you figured it out.
