Small point of order, but the Nexus 4 is only half the price because it is heavily subsidised by Google. You can be fairly certain than the actual cost to produce the N4 is broadly similar to those devices.

The N4 was never a "budget" device - it was just priced very aggressively by Google, who don't need to make money on the hardware.

Regards,

Dave
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Ah.. The lovely saturation = quality argument.
[Nexus 4 General] daglesj:
Yes all comes down to if you prefer radiation burn skin tones or more natural skin tones.

Seems around 50/50 are happy with either.

I'm in the natural camp.
[Nexus 4 General] Williaml232:
N4 screen sucks no matter what calibration you use. The blacks will never be black. You can adjust it, but the colors will still look dull.

Another problem is the default auto brightness makes the screen way too dim. You need to download a screen brightness app for this device.
[Nexus 4 General] RealiZms:
Interesting. I have both side by side and I personally feel the N4 screen is noticeably better than the S4 screen. LG's IPS displays are clearly of better quality. I mean really the S4 still uses a pentile pixel arrangement, it's not really 1080p.

Get an eye exam:good:
[Nexus 4 General] drakester09:
Comparing two AMOLEDs to an IPS screen, not really a valid point at all...

It's the saturation vs accuracy argument all over the place.

Personally, I prefer a screen that won't degrade over time or burn in. I had the 3 flagships before the S4 and then got a Nexus. Never regretted not getting an S4 (it's nice but I now dislike the wear aspect of AMOLED too much to have one)
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
My N4's screen looks far better than my old NS's screen (not taking SD vs HD into account).

As far as color calibration, the IPS display has much truer colors, and the brightness and visibility under full sunlight is far better. The amoled on my NS not only has burned in the status bar and homescreen dock slightly, but the whites look very yellow in comparison to my N4's IPS.

The one good thing amoled has going for it over IPS, imo, is the energy saving aspect when you use a dark theme and wallpaper. Otherwise, I vote IPS in every category.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Yes.. In Amoled Black's will be Black's & 'whites will be whites' right :what:
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
Blacks may never be blacks, but did you compare whites on gs4 and n4? N4 owns gs4 when it comes to whites. So, nothing is perfect.

N4, PA+Franco
[Nexus 4 General] forever_lol:
Exactly! It depends what your priorities are. If you like saturated colors and deep blacks go for amoled. If you however value more whites LCD is the solution for you. There's no such thing like amoled is better than lcd or vice versa. These are two different types of screen.

Gamma calibration can make colors look darker and not washed out. There are few presets that make our screen look noticeably better. (I like especially bundi_22 settings.) On the other hand I must admit that many profiles make it look horrible. Some users have tried to calibrate screens so that they look like amoled. I don't really understand why. It's never gonna look like that. Even if blacks are darker other colors become often way too dull and ugly (like they were covered with charcoal). LCD screen is imo supposed to be brighter.
[Nexus 4 General] defffizz:
Yes, bundy_22 profiles are great, using 43.bundy_22 profile in franco kernel updater, it looks superb :)

N4, PA+Franco
[Nexus 4 General] forever_lol:
I use (Franco's) Display Control app and 44_bundi22 ;) I guess it's the same ;)
[Nexus 4 General] mindlesSheep:
well, its nexus, root is kinda one of first thing that everyone does...
[Nexus 4 General] coolnow:
So you didn't even name me a single app, never mind 5, never mind 10. :laugh:

And how won't he get the chance to deny all root privs to any other apps? Erm, flash SuperSu (or download the app, then install su), install the appropriate app for the kernel, set gamma settings, go into SuperSu and deny all requests for superuser apart from the kernel app? How exactly have you pwnd the device then? If you even mention physical access, i'll reach into my laptop and slap you across the internet myself, physical access is always = pwn.
[Nexus 4 General] Remoteconcern:
Seems like the phone is for your wife, and it's you who doesn't like the calibration. Without mentioning anything to her, what does she think?

Otherwise, unlocking boot loader (warning: wipes data) and flashing a paranoid android kernel with colour adjustments will mean you don't have to root.
[Nexus 4 General] mikey199:
Lol rooting makes everything better. You can auto deny auto allow or handle each app individually as a command prompt. I know of only 1 app that has a problem being root and that app came on my lenovo k900 something about a special password protected exchange server that very few businesses use. Won't work if rooted but i don't use it. I been rooting for years and that's the only app i have come across as being root sensitive. Root that damn nexus and get some custom roms on their. Quit being a pus.
[Nexus 4 General] daglesj:
Been rooted for months but when I put 4.3 on I decided to go back to unrooted. I can now run all my banking apps perfectly.

This to me is more useful than making the icons 'pop' more. That was about the only benefit of being rooted for me.
[Nexus 4 General] DirgeExtinction:
What banking apps do you use that don't work with root?
[Nexus 4 General] daglesj:
Okay here we go.

Barclays Bank

Barclaycard

PingIt

Nationwide Building Society

etc. etc.

Basically all the UK banking apps I wanted to use.
[Nexus 4 General] aanonymoushuman:
Stop complaining and flash the halfbred colors, they will blow your mind
[Nexus 4 General] PJcastaldo:
Assuming a rooted device is less secure than a non rooted device is an ignorant thought its an equal risk if not more of one to not be rooted.. I have been rooting since my G1 and use a few bank apps among many others and have never had an app not run because I was rooted.. not saying it doesn't happen... but I doubt its as many apps as you think.
[Nexus 4 General] Remoteconcern:
Nationwide works with root. Don't know about the others.
[Nexus 4 General] zelendel:
Ok guys. Lets get back on topic. Yes I know I helped with the OT but now it is time to get back. If people want to talk about if Root is secure or not then another thread can be made. Or people can just do the research on it. I would advice this as it seems most dont understand it.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
That's what i said.But the thread moved towards Banks & Rooting is good or bad type stuff
[Nexus 4 General] Rox598:
Have to admit i like the screens on the S3/S4 more than the N4 but there's one thing I can't stand about those phones and thats the dreaded wake lag...it's just sooo damn annoying! so for the N5 i'm hoping for a better screen (Imo a better screen)

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] strikeIII:

[General Topics] artyfarty:
today i've called Telecom Italia for a problem

i use an app called cubovision, it is a kind of skygo app, you pay for films or football matches. I use it for some months, with my cf-rooted N8000.

the only thing to do for use the app and see video contents was to temporary disable root with supersu app. with root you can't see any video.

yesterday i've received an update from play store. now the message "your device is rooted, you can't see any video" appears even if the root is disabled.

So i've deleted the app and i've restored old version with titanium.

and... surprise: the message are present, with or without root. I think they changed some thing on their servers.

i've called, very very angry, the call center, i've exposed the problem, i told that on the main site and in the play store there's no advise about rooted device.

the man on the other side of the phone reply to me:

"i don't know nothing about this app problem, and i don't know about... as you say?... rooti?, but note that Cyanogenmod is a PIRATED software. I've an android tablet, i know all about pirated android softwares".

welcome in Italy

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darksizzle:
I'm loving mine. It's what I've been waiting for. A manageable simple phone with awesome battery life, great screen, specs that compete with the big dogs, and wireless charging to boot. I think people on the forum are confused on how to split these phones up considering they have never had three (technically four but the popularity of the moto x plus the GSM/CDMA gives it the right to it's own section) phones so identical. I'm sure some very small tweaks will be required but I wouldn't even go as far as to say roms need to be "ported" between the three. I'm surprised that I haven't seen really anything about this phone in xda. Verizon has sold quite a few from what I've gathered.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoSLoppy:
I'm about to pull the trigger on buying a Droid Mini for Verizon. I'm coming from a 2010 Rooted/ROMd HTC Incredible original.

Been waiting for smaller form factor, and it's got a nice non-bloatware Jelly Bean stock OS that's got many bells and whistles I only thought rooted ROMs would give me...plus wireless charging and USB external support(?) Played with one for an hour last night in the store and other than the Back button being a little too far down-left for my stubby thumb....it's a vast jump into the present from my legacy 2010 phone.

My real hope is to see if/when anyone gets it to successfully work on a T-Mobile SIM somehow. I never had a SIM card phone before, and didn't think Verizon phones had them, but apparently under the volume rocker lives a SIM on these Droids.

Verizon plan would be $10 less than I currently pay at a total of $95/mo, and that's including "edge" aka "Jump" plan so I'm not locked into a 2 year relationship with the hardware. However, I could get on an equivalent T-Mobile plan for $50/mo.....but I don't think I want the HTC One Mini...even though the size is prob good, I beat on phones to much to have a sleek aluminum gallery piece...plus I don't want Sense and BlinkFeed or BeatsAudio.....

I know - long and boring.

Could have just said:

Let me know when someone sucessfully gets the Mini working on T-Mobile.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
The Ultra works without any modifications on At&t, besides obtaining a nanoSIM. This means the phone is sim unlocked so TMobile should work as well.

See Source

I imagine the Mini will be the same. The only problem is there is no 1700Mhz band on these phones so on Tmobile you will only get 2G data unless you live in a 1900Mhz refarmed area.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phositadc:
Of course, the Verizon mini won't get LTE on ATT or T-Mobile, even if Sim unlocked.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archangel:
I just bought my Mini and love it! I came from a long line of HUGE phones and wanted one that I can fit in my pocket and it doesnt look like I am carrying around a tablet LOL. It is the perfect size and form for me! It packs the power of the bigger phones in a smaller package! Just be careful if you root and load anything,,, it can be very fickle and have had to FXZ it twice already, but then again I flash and mod alot!

BTW this phone has sold a lot and needs its own thread,,,it will reduce a lot of the "hey can I flash this on my Mini" questions!!!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:

Found a thread where somebody tried a cut-down T-Mobile SIM and it did NOT work in the Mini.

http://forums.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-mini/307709-droid-mini-t-mobile.html

However, he mentions that he hopes his results aren't because it's a cut-down SIM. I would be using a genuine TMO Nano SIM.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarkRaving:
Droid Mini???

Would love a bump on this and an answer if the Mini will have it's own section, or if software mods performed on the Moto X can be cleanly replicated on the Droid Mini (meaning Mini users should be in the Moto X section).

Being new to the mini and this forum (and Androids in general), there has been a mountain of info to read through. Having some clear-cut answers would certainly be a great help - aside from the rooting procedure on the Ultra, which says the Mini should work as well, there seems to be very little information on a great phone that's being pushed heavily by VZW.

Thank you!
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
There's some similarity to the Moto X, but the Mini is considerably more similar to the Ultra, so if the Mini doesn't get its own section, we're in the right place.

Also, an update to my post before yours, the Mini works fine with a genuine T-Mobile SIM.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarkRaving:
Yes, the more I read, the more I understand that. Coming from modding a few years ago, I'm a bit jumpy with trying mods cross phones and need to remember that we are dealing with an OS that has cross model similarities. Learning about androids is almost as bad as Radiocomms learning curve lol

Unfortunately, I have yet to see confirmation of the Ultra/Maxx rooting procedure working on the Mini (unless I missed it). I see that NWKENT has a cleaner rooting package posted but the file is for the Maxx (and again, jumpy about cross model files). Any guidance is always appreciated.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I'm not familiar with NWKENT's rooting package, but the SlapMyMoto thread to root KitKat does indeed work on the Mini.

The thread here correct? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2616104

If I understand that thread correctly, you must be rooted 1st on 4.2.2 before doing that method. If you have done this with the Mini, you used JCase's updated rooting method found here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=45598648

I appreciate any response, I am just trying to get my ducks, and knowledge, in a row. Also, what rooted version are you currently on (4.4?) and have you noticed any issues?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Yes, those are the correct threads.

Yes, you must be rooted on 4.2.2 first. It's very important not to skip steps or take any shortcuts (people want to skip the fxz step, but that will result in an unrooted phone that as of now cannot be rooted).

Yes, I'm currently on 4.4 rooted after following the steps in the SlapMyMoto thread. I do have one issue, sometimes when I plug in a USB cable, my phone reboots. It did this even with no apps installed and is intermittent. Not sure if it's a KitKat bug and I don't remember if JB had the same problem or not because I was on JB all of a day.
