[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burrid:
Greetings,

I have an htc desire at the moment and in need of replacement. I like to hold my device in one hand and be able to type with 1 thumb (also when lying on my back and the screen above my head). However with my desire it's perfectly doable, but I've handled the nexus 4 and it seems too big for my hands. I can't seem to hold a secure grip with 1 hand and do everything with that hand. Is it just me? Or was it because of the security at the back of the cover.

I love the basic pure android experience and the look of the device, but I'm afraid I can't get used to the size :(

Thanks in advance.

Edit: ah, this was supposed to go in the Q&A part, maybe it can still be moved.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meangreenie:
Simply buy a thumb extender ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burrid:
Ha but I don't have much problems with the top of the device, rather the bottom right corner. Need to pull back my thumb in such a way it hurts.

Is someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to use Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsubterrain:
Wouldn't a Galaxy Mini be more useful for you then?

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9190_galaxy_s4_mini-5375.php

4.3 inches instead of the N4's 4.7 inches
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Burrid:
Not really the answers I've expected but.. no no one's holding a gun at my head for wanting a nice piece of hardware. I don't want a samsung phone either.

I would like a nexus but I'm unsure about the size. Was just wondering if other people had the same problem and were able to adapt or needed to hold the phone differently than they used to.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arrghushakaboorga:
Can't really tell you whether it would fit your hand well. I tend to frame the phone with my hands and type with one thumb on the built in swipe keyboard. I can tell you my sister originally didn't want the n4 because of its size, but after using it and trying mine, she likes it very much and got one for herself. The best thing I can say is try to find a friend who has one that wouldn't be weirded out by you borrowing the phone laying down on a couch/bed, so you can try it yourself.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
get a device that has 720 pixels in width, like a galaxy s3 or something. Nexus 4 has 768 and you can actually feel it's wider if you try to type with your thumb (at least i can).

i also owned an htc desire, but i went to a 4" device before moving to a 4.6" display (galaxy nexus) so the transition was a little smoother. Anyways, none of the current phones can be compared to the desire size-wise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seadra:
This is the only reason why I want Nexus 5 to be around for 4.5" no more, no less :P that would be a dream come true.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
use thumb keyboard and change the settings to one hand, left or right. its great for one handed, see image,

my thumb couldn't reach the other side but now I don't need to
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] npiper05:
I understand where you're coming from. I had an HTC One S before the Nexus 4 and sometimes find myself missing the smaller form factor as it was easier to hold with one hand. Overall, the N4 is a superior device and and I wouldn't go back to the One S. If you are really worried, maybe look a phone with similar specs to the One S. I think it had a 4.3" screen.

Good luck.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neefy:

[HTC Sensation] intestro:
I've seen a couple of threads about this but none of them have the same issues as I have or they remain unanswered.

My HTC Sensation (EU version) won't boot up at all. I can't boot it into recovery or bootloader and when charging the light doesn't turn on.

It recently started to randomly reboot and at one point it completely corrupted all files on my SD card. However, it worked ok after I bought a new SD card and the random reboots didn't bother me that much. Today when I woke up however, I saw that it wouldn't respond to me pressing the power button. I also noticed that the charging light wasn't on (it was plugged into the wall overnight).

I tried removing/reinserting the battery, I tried booting into recovery and bootloader, I tried connecting it to my PC and forcing it to boot into bootloader but nothing works. To clear things up, when I try to boot it up nothing happens. The screen stays black and doesn't power on.

The only thing that leads me to believe there's still a chance of it working is that when I plug it into the PC, my PC detects it (although it's unable to install the required drivers for it).

I'd appreciate any help I can get.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
open a cmd window in your adb and fastboot folder and try this command

adb boot bootloader
[HTC Sensation] intestro:
That command didn't work for me and displayed a wall of text. After looking through it I found a similar command which I tried

adb reboot-bootloader

When I entered that it said that it was starting the daemon on port, that the daemon had started succesfully and then it gives me the error: device not found.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
opps i mean reboot

i don't know why i forgot that

previously you said that it detects it

how it detects it?
[HTC Sensation] intestro:
When I connect the phone to my PC I hear the sound that windows makes when you connect a USB device.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
charge the device without battery,sim and sdcard for 4-5 hours

put them back and switch it on

see how it goes

if that fails then try to switch on the device with a different battery
[HTC Sensation] intestro:
I tried the charging method but it didn't seem to do anything.

I don't have a different battery that fits in there. Can I use a smaller and lower capacity battery as well and just connect the contacts? I don't wanna shortcut anything :p
[HTC Sensation] MrJukeHardbane:
No. Don't even try connecting other battery.

So are there any options left for me? I've read some stuff about Jtagging but I'm not planning on getting a box or paying someone to do it for me.

my too, but after the wifi-off-reboot :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] S3miniFin:
Dudes, how about youtube works? My freeze after few second. Browser not respond. Tried rom default browser and another Boat Browser pro.

I tried look Tero pitkämäki (javelin world record...) video. He is finnish like i am ^^

EDIT: I use Oliver latest rom, sorry wrong topic...
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] evolez:
Just clear apps data that you use. I had same problem with youtube app, it was freezing some seconds after.

Cleaned youtube apps data and puff gone. Problem solved :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] S3miniFin:
Thanks, but wont help. Now youtube freeze right away.

EDIT: I download from google shop youtube apps. Now videos works. But with web browsers wont.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] vlt96:
Sorry to ruin the fun, but I found a little bug, and it is really annoying: in camera app, when selecting blitz mode to off, it gets set to auto, when set to on it gets set to off, and when set to auto it turns the blitz on... Really weird and annoying.

Also, I can confirm the 1000 MHz bug is present and fixed by reboot with wifi off, which sucks anyway, but the amazingness of cyanogenmod beats it
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] S3miniFin:
what what what, please tell??!!?!? I can't sleep before

Either way, congratulations for your work, Maclaw!
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] PTGamer:
thats strange i dont think im affected by that.... my cpu is entering deep sleeep wen the phone is unnused, tried with wifi on and off and it seems to be ok.

make shure you do a clean install.

this is what i do b4 flashing anything.

-backup

(the most important thing to do b4 messing with the device)

-wipe data

-wipe cache

-wipe davilk blabalbal (i dont remember this name but it is da something xD)

-flash the rom

the only thing i can point its the camera... the flash is working in a strange way the buttons are in the wrong order but i can live with that xD

my results with CPU SPY

3 call's with 5-10 minutes each,

3-4 SMS

just a little bit of web browsing / email / facebook

NOTE: i only turn my wifi wen i need it. in the last 5hours it has been on 2 or 3 times

79% of the time it was on deep sleep

4% 1GHz

1% 800MHz

7% 400MHz

7% 200MHz

BTW i dont know how CPU spy do the rounding to units because 79+4+1+(2x7)= 98%

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mauam:
Have you try to wipe the data of instagram & youtube or just uninstall them & then reinstall again from Playstore or just go in recovery & wipe only cache & dalvik cache. Those tips always works for me when I have apps force closes or crashs.;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] giovanni.rimoli:
I will try, but this problem happens more than one time/update rom. This is not the first time on this rom haha but I'll try, tks!

It does read my sim card try reinstalling the ROM and wipe dalvick cache and Mount system before installing
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] vlt96:
That is not a good fix, permanently setting that will just get it to drain battery like crazy, better use a profile in setcpu or something..

Also, I don't understand why set minimum to 400 when you set governor tu performance, since it ramps up to max anyway
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] humaid.locastic:
Well it is not draining my battery ! I didn't notice any difference the whole day ;)

Cyanogenmod is released and distributed under the Apache Software License (just like stock Android), which doesn't require the source code for derivative works to be published. Maclaw is not obligated to release the source code (although that would be awesome), so you're not in a position to demand anything.

Let's try to keep the thread civil.

Hi,

always the same crying for sources ... Why all the people need his sources ?

Take them from CM site - and Develop on your own ... I think all askers are Developers ?! Why here are not more Releases ?

If you don't like MacLaw - don't use his ROM !

But stop this "Rule Breaker" bla bla - when MacLaw stops his work, we will never have a working CM / AOKP / ... Version.

The linux kernel is not a maclaw creation and is covered by the Gpl v2 (i was wrong with Cyanogenmod and is not covered ). And any binary realease must be acompanied by the source. I dont see that the maclaw github have any changes in months.

[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] giociampa:
Just a thought... would it be possible to add a toggle setting somewhere so you could choose which MAC address was used? Or, as I suspect might be the case, is the code for the Samsung method no longer available to use as you've rewritten it entirely?

If such a toggle were to be available, I presume that it would be buried deep in the Developer section somewhere - something that a user would set once, and never need to touch again?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] mkruseonline:
And ?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Last change was after adding bln feature, this week. Check github again.

Also we don't have to publish sources of our kernel prebuilts. Only base kernel is on GPL license.

Is this your Repo?

https://github.com/GoldenMod/android_kernel_samsung_golden

Because i don't see the fix for screen tearing nor SmartassV2 in there..
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Smartass was added for mistake to latest kernel (I was testing it localy) in CM10.1 and I don't think it'll be there in next release. If it will, I'll add it to github repo.

Flickering fix is precompiled blob and system modification.

Stop spaming(!) in my thread. I'm not breaking any rules.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] samjam:
This is quite true, and is the same argument used to get vendors to release their kernel source: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#GPLRequireSourcePostedPublic
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] cmgonzalez:
You're the first developer that don't publish his sources that i know...it's sad, it's not the way that open source works. If all the people was like you we never have Linux in the first place.

And for all the people in there that support maclaw, when this guy leave the sg3 mini development, we will be without any source to keep playing, and don't come in complaining, i don't wan't to make acusations, but also your security is in risk, if we don't have sources how can i be sure that your kernel is safe or without backdoors?.

If more people get involved, more will be the benefits of our community.
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] S3miniFin:
hmmm backdoors. In this rom is bybass hardware mac- address(made by Samsung) some reason....?
[Galaxy S III Mini Original Android Development] New Macław:
Are you serious :D?

Dude, we made new wifi driver as you know. Why other MAC address?

Because our driver is loads real MAC address of Wifi card, instead of one, which Samsung gave to device (dunno why Samsung's driver reads MAC from file on "hidden" partition :D).

And what MAC-address would have to backdoor?

If here's any backdoor - you can come here and kill me! I made Android for Ace/Gio and S3 Mini and you can easily believe that I'm adding backdoors and other sh*t to my ROMs?

Please, if you believe in it, remove my ROM from your phone and never use it.

BTW: If I would have open sources, where is your guarantee that I didn't added backdoors only localy, without pushing it to github?
