[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sturdy_99:
in my opinion N4 is better than S4 in performance. N4 has quad core processor and S4 has Octa core (8) processor. According to my speed tests S4 should have more benchmark score than it gets..like n4 gets about 20 to 22 thousand without overclocking in antutu benchmarks but s4 gets only 27 thousand being an octa core. It is very less for 8 core processor at least it should touch 35 to 40 thousand score without overclock.....So this directly indicates that n4 performance is better than s4...and in any way s4 is laest so it will have good screen and camera..but n4 is also awsome...I would recommend to stay with n4 and wait for n5......now its up to you...i think samsung is just a ****...making customers fools.....Thanks if helped....

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
Lol , FACEPALM ! :D

The octa core does not mean all 8 cores are active. It's a combination of 4 A15 cores, and 4 low powered A7 cores, a BiG.little architecture.

And 2nd thing, don't rely on benchmarks as a real life performance measure, nexus devices are never good in that field, yet they offer the best user experience (my opinion).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dabarr:
Honestly, get the s4 and sell it right away. Don't even open the box. Use the money to get the n5 in fall. I see u value community support a lot, so this would be ur number one option. Samsung's support is just crap. Even a Google edition cannot be compared to pure aosp experience of the nexus and is definitely NOT the same! A lot of sources are still closed at Samsung.

Don't forget ur loss of warranty either, once u unlock the bootloader. U need crap like triangle away, a usb dongle or so on to reset the Samsung counter. If ur screen brakes u might be screwed in case of RMA. With a nexus u just lock the bootloader and u r done! :)

Also, many people are running around with a Samsung device. A nexus is just rare and far more special :)

Hope I could help!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jjday7:
Ding ding ding we have a winner thats what I would do, but buy the nexus 4 and pocket some money. Sell your nexus you already have. The s4 is nice and I wanted it but the phone gets returned a lot at my job. Its sold the most but returned at a higher rate. I wont lie and say the s4 didnt cross my mind but the price is crazy to me. I keep phones maybe 6 months. Also keep in mind that the screen on the s4 gets micro cracks and is known for that. Known to break randomly. Didn't know till a customer told me about it. Happened to a friend of his.

Why would he want to do that? As far as I understood, he already owns a n4. Why should he buy another n4 and sell the old one? I'd prefer banking the money he'd make selling the s4 and wait for the n5 or whatever it'll be called. :)

However, I fully agree to the rest of your post!

Great! Thanks for the reactions fella's, I appreciate it! I decided to keep my Nexus and sell the S4. I can get 450 euro (600 dollar) for it.

I'm gonna use the money to buy myself a new Nexus when it comes out ;)

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zcucurullo:
Yes, I bought it for the price, I buy all my phones contract free (today a Nexus 4 16Gb cost on the playstore USD 249.00). A S4 for the same price as the N4, probably would have gotten the S4, (at the time I bought the N4, the S4 was not available). Since I stopped rooting after buying the Galaxy Nexus (2 years ago), for me rooting is not a plus anymore. The ability to have the option for more space is always good, even if you think you don't need it. Look, your getting it for free, that is the deal breaker here.!!!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxicpaulution:
The s4 isn't all that is is cracked up to be. Yeah it has nice features but they are useless on aosp. I am selling my s4 soon to get the n4. then I will just buy the n5 right out whenever it comes out. I also have an AT&T s4 so it really sucks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
If you scratch up the N4, then the S4 is even easier to break imo, since I owned the S3, but you can buy cases for it. If you can deal with the S4 build quality, its a very good phone. The camera is much better than the N4 and the iPhone 5 too. It have microSD card, infrared port. The (international) S4 also have Wolfson DAC giving it excellent sound quality which the N4 cannot deliver. 1080p screen, longer battery life. There are lots of positive about this device.

The S4 is clearly faster than the N4 if you install custom roms, it might have less roms than the N4, but it have all the essential ones (ParanoidAndroid, AOKP, CyanogenMod, SlimRoms) and that's enough, I personally only use AOKP exclusively.

Overall in term of resale value the S4 is the way to go since its a popular device. With that said, I prefer Nexus devices for the latest softwares, fastboot and pentaband 3G support.

Hey!

1. Why are there two sections for S2 plus development? With and without "original"? Are there any differences between the ROMs?

2. I'm using Babba ROM and when I switched NFC on, it just became grey. Is there solution for this or is it even meant to work? I tried rebooting but nothing happens.

I hv got two questions, someone please help

1. how to paste/open a url in xda app - reason is xda app uses lesser data to show the same stuff as compared to any net browsing app, i dnt wanna waste my pracious data on reading same stuff in more net data usage, instead wanna use xda app by simply tapping on any xda forum url, link n getting the option of open with xda app / browser.

2. there is lag while opening contacts, call logs, dialer on my G Note. I am on Ultimate JB ROM 6, xxlt4 with speedmod kernel.

Thnx in advance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nokiamodeln91:
1. I don't think external links can be open in the xda app.

2. Touchwiz is the problem which causes delay in opening dialer /contacts. If you try a cm rom you will see the difference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshkoshti:
ok..but xda app has space to improve in this regard..

1) when we install xda app for the first time it should automatically detect the device n take us to 'my device forum' only (n providing facility to later change device etc), there is no point in digging in the long list of forums just to find my device specific forum. (presently once u search u can subscribe or add to favorite n all... its good)

2) when browsing in any internet browser we come across much needed help from xda forum but after clickin/ tapping on that link it doesnt recognise n ask whether to open xda forum link using xda app (which is faster, smoother, doesnt hv ads etc) or any browser, it simply continues to open in new tab or so, to further let the browser to use more data as compared to xda app. when i browse xda using its own app its faster,smoother, doesnt hv unecessary things to load/ show up..

Thnk u xda for making our android lives easier n happier.

if you are saying, that you are beginner, then get wm2003 SE 2.06 for himalaya from ftp server here.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com

browse through ftp and look for it.

it's a single exe file, which you then run on your desktop pc.

also, do search the forums, how to avoid problems with language and provider ID.

I'm looking for a protective case for my Note 2 that has a grippy/hard rubber feel that doesn't slide around when I lay it down on it's back. I have an Otterbox commuter but the back is hard plastic and slides around a lot if I lay it down unless I flip it over. My wife has an Iphone and her otterbox has a very grippy rubbery feel that is non slip. I wish their Note 2 cases were like that. I'm looking at the Griffin Survivor case and was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations before I try it out? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
http://www.amazon.com/Duzign-Sentin...1378141878&sr=8-3&keywords=duzign+case+note+2

This case has been discussed by many on this forum and it has good reviews. It is definitely protective and grippy. You can even tell from the back rubbery design. If you want something slim, with a soft matte feel, i'd get the Six Abundant Case: http://www.amazon.com/DBA-Cases-Abu...=1378141992&sr=8-1&keywords=six+abundant+case
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dengood1:
Wow, that first one definitely looks grippy!

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
You're very welcome :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dengood1:
Do you know if the back is hard plastic or a softer rubber feel on the first one? I need it to stay put on a flat surface as I move around at work. The Commuter slides all over the place, which I cannot have. It will "stick" if I turn it over because of the rubber edges, but I need the phone to be face up/hands free. Thanks again for your suggestions.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
From all the reviews and things I have heard about it, it seems to be in the middle. A hard rubber. So it's good for shock absorption. Definitely not a soft rubber because that would wear out very easily. However, from what everyone in the forums have said and from the amazon reviews, it seems like it will stay in place without issue. Also, it's only $10 and from amazon. If you don't like it, you can ship it back the same day for a full refund without any cost to you. Just keep the original box/packaging.

Here's a quote from someone who has it: "The back part of the case (the black exterior) feels more like silicone than plastic which gives it a nice look and grip. I have dropped my phone once on this case and I have to say that this case does a very good job on absorbing impact."
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
It's a hard plastic exo with a softer plastic inner. I have this case and it will not hold in place on a hard flat surface. Mine will not even "stick" when placed screen down. The kickstand is about a 4/10 (flimsy, too easily collapsed etc)

Also, the buttons, imo, are junk. Last night, after I started using this case again after owning it for ~6 months (used for 2 weeks), I took a razor blade to the buttons. Couldn't stand them being so difficult to press.

However, the drop protection is definitely up to the same level as the commuter, for being such a cheap case.

I'd say it's worth the price, maybe even less.

Also, I have a similar six abundant case that was free. And although it's very nice, and my most used case, it offers very little protection, and definitely not "grippy" on surfaces.

Wish I had some suggestions. The Griffin Sur. looks grippy. If you search the forum here there are a few people that bought one and commented on the quality. I believe they don't officially support it.. So it's actually a knockoff.

Edit2: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2174889 has info for the knockoff griffin. Enjoy.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
Thanks for the input, bro. That's rather unfortunate. I guess other sources don't have the best description then.

Have you looked into the body glove case? That looks pretty nice and there is a lot of discussion recently on it in the Post Your Pics of Your Phone thread. Check it out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
Definitely bro, maybe others will chime in with different opinions about it.

I was actually just revisiting the idea of the body glove refined gel case (been subbed to that thread for forever). I remember it being a very popular case earlier this year. At one point there was an eBay seller with ~50 of them for $8+free shipping. I should have jumped on it then. I'm just afraid that the lower section of the case (shiny area) will end up scratching easily (read: shiny back mercury case).

Still haven't even gotten around to trying the UAG... Even though I designed and 3D printed some custom inserts.

What case are you rockin?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
3d printing?? Dude that's awesome! I saw on geeky gadgets or theawesomer website ad about a 3d real time laser scanner. It was really impressive. Expensive ($1400 I think) but very cool. Right now I'm using my Six Abundant Case. I rotate between that and my white UAG case. The UAG case is worth it for me. It's not super bulky and protects my phone extremely well. I have large hands so I have no problem gripping and using my phone in one hand with either case on. I do have way too many cases at this point. I even have the casemate tough. Totally forgot to mention that. That definitely has a good feel in terms of grip and it is super slim for a fully protective case. Another nice one is the DBA ultra case. I'll most likely be upgrading to the note 3 so I stopped buying more cases, lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
Yeah! Got into robotics development at my University a few years back and somehow got nominated to be the guy that learns the ins/outs of our 3D printer so that I can teach others everything about it (even the computer science professors). In the printing world, $1400 is fairly cheap for a production item.

I did see the 3D scanner. I believe it is going to be made by Makerbot. We made our own using a Kinect (think: xbox 360) to do real-time scans of objects and roll them into 3D files. However, I usually make one-off prints so I have to build them entirely by hand in a 3D environment.

Agh.. You are making it hard not to press the "complete my order" button for the black uag haha. I too have large hands/long fingers; I often get my iPhone-using-friends asking me how I always use one hand with this beast. If I was a female I'm sure I'd have gained muscle from just using it by now lol.

Forgot about casemate. I'll have to check them out. (have their tough case on my Skyrocket & love it)

I'll most likely be upgrading as well (if not at least a smart watch).. So now seems like a bad time for me to by yet another case.. But.. I have an addiction lol.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
That's really nice, bro. I know $1400 is not that expensive when it refers to such technology, but I meant in general - that's like a nice fully loaded laptop price, lol. I'm familiar with Kinect/Xbox360 so yeah, that's really interesting. I'm sure the whole 3D development can take time from scratch. Maybe I missed them, but did you ever post pics of your 3D-rendered cases? I'd love to see how they turned out.

Yes, the Case-Mate Tough is solid. I have the same black one as in this teamvenum review: http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=686

I know you complained about the buttons you eventually cut out of your Sentinel case. This is where the UAG shines. The button design makes it super easy to press the covered buttons. The one thing I love about my UAG case is that I can just toss my phone around onto my bed or the table like whatever without any worry. The shock absorption technology on UAG cases is pretty solid. I even got one for my father's S3 and he loves it (esp since he is accident prone/clumsy with all technology, lol).

Yes, the smart watch upgrade is definitely happening for me as well. I can't wait till they release the Samsung Gear this September. It's definitely going to be a step up from my pebble watch, which I use and wear all the time.

Also, your addiction...I understand all too well, especially being a huge tech fanatic. If you don't have a solid protective/easy to hold case currently and work in an environment where you really need that, I would go for it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
I never printed any cases for my Note 2, just the inserts for the UAG case with lettering and glow in the dark filament etc. I did make four cases for my gf's S3 but in the end she moved to a pink folio wallet case (which would take too much time to make haha). I've since then had two dead SD cards.. So I've lost a lot of pictures (backups are my priority every 24hrs now..). The cases were more of a "wow factor" type of thing. Everywhere we went people asked more about her case than my huge phone lol.. Lead to a lot of explanations of what a 3D printer is.. But After a few times on/off of the case they'd get weak and start to crack at random layers of which the printer printed it (our printer has a resolution of 0.001mm).

Started sanding the area of the Sentinel case today that I hacked out with the razor to make it smoother. Only had about ten minutes with some 1600grit paper, so I got one side pretty smooth!

I wanted to pledge money to the kreyos smart watch but got worried that I'd be stuck with money in the air for it and no item on my wrist until next summer.. The galaxy gear is definitely going to be watched (pun intended)! As long as it stays within $200-300..

As you can tell, it's hard for me to commit to some purchases lol!

To op: I remember seeing some peel & stick grip strips for phones. They were just thin clear gel-type adhesive strips. Been looking for them but can't find the review. Honestly, I'd also like a grippy case..

Edit: found it! www.egrips.com/ check it out.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dengood1:
Thanks for everyone's input...much appreciated. I own the Bodyglove case but I is still harder plastic than I would like. Its a decent case though. I had the Casemate Toughcase for my Note 1 and liked it, very protective as well, but still had a hard plastic outer shell. Maybe I'll research on getting some type of nonslip rubber strips for my Otterbox to see how that works. There are a few cases mentioned here I'll have to take a look at. Thanks again to you all.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kvnly2:
I have the UAG case. I have used the UAG line of cases for all my phones and they are solid. They have the bevel in the front so if it drops face down you wont shatter your screen and it has extra cushion on the corner bumpers. They are only $30 - $35 online. They fit on my OEM samsung dock with spare batttery charger.

The reason why I trust all my phones in the UAG case is that my wife's nephew through my note down the escalator at the mall. My heart stopped as I saw it tumble and bounce off every step. When I went to get it, the phone and case didnt have a scratch on it. The otterboxes are great but they are way too big. Especially for our note.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sand1303:
