The Nexus 4 isn't next... it was already on the chopping block, signified by the lack of an update to 4.4, and no, I don't believe that we will get an update this week, next week or in fact the whole friggin' month.

Support-wise the Nexus 4 was already shot & killed last week.
[Nexus 4 General] opssemnik:
so nexus 7 2nd gen also does?ofc not, both will have 4.4, google is probably modifying it to get better battery life or idk because if it like you said, then google would be lying to us(they said nexus 7 and 4 will get 4.4) and google would also be dropping support for the new nexus 7 witch is like less then 6 months old.
[Nexus 4 General] badboy47:
Or business wise; they are just waiting to sell as many N5 as possible before releasing 4.4 on Nexus 4. Please don't give me *that's not Google strategy* unless you work with Google.
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
Pretty much this. It's just a delaying tactic, nothing else, and I hate them for it.

Say what you will about Apple, but at least they get their updates out in time, I still won't buy an iDevice though.

Also, I called Google out on that tactic any way I could (without the use of profanity) and I still have not received an answer, go figure.
[Nexus 4 General] G1ForFun:
Heh. Update is incoming very soon. Silly sheep.
[Nexus 4 General] R3nrut:
There tactic is brilliant and executed flawlessly. No large media event to announce it, it was announced on a "holiday", barely any hard facts other than the general sell sheet. I'm impressed.
[Nexus 4 General] sid21:
Well the google doesnt want to support the gnex anymore thats it..

I recently found that gnex chipset had got ti updates and google just doesnt want to update em by themselves..

So i was right with many others..

That.. The reason about chipset not being supported is all lie..

Its the 18 month policy that got implemented with a lame reason to wipe it all..

Same would be for Nexus 4..

So time to chunk the thread on 15 Nov..
[Nexus 4 General] LoVeRice:
Its only for new phone with low specs, not for old phone.
[Nexus 4 General] OldDroid:
i dont think that gnex has relied on any time specific update plan from google or samsung, as texas instruments left the mobile hardware category, the developers of the drivers which always had been implemented in new android versions have lost their jobs! atleast the driver source would have saved the gnex for google update plan
[Nexus 4 General] manpildo:
Always provide sources if you want people to believe you.
[Nexus 4 General] jadephyre:
Of course the driver updates came from Ti, what's your point?

Driver updates for the N4 come from Qualcomm, same deal.

Now tell me, how do you update a driver all by yourself if the people who know the most about it have been fired and are probably working in different companies now?
[Nexus 4 General] opssemnik:
^

but anyway, for me i still need to dont believe in this google business strategy because nexus 5 is only released in a few countries, in the others if you go to nexus 5 page / nexus 5 page it just go to nexus 4(just like here).

All i have is rope, but i all got is lies :/
[Nexus 4 General] sid21:
Buddy the drivers are updated by devs right from ice cream sandwich..

Devs can do that..

Why cant google?? Its all answerable ki google isnt interested..

If u want source will provide..
[Nexus 4 General] OldDroid:
probaly you need to understand that google didnt made any hardware part of the phone!

we are talking about drivers for the ti chipset which is in the hardware part of the phone -_-

no software stuff, drivers are something else than normal libs! the drivers will be included in the kernel

to provide a responsive and always working phone, so if it does not get updated, the phone will loose

functions when android grows ...

You cant provide any kernel driver source, promised ;)
[Nexus 4 General] wiswis:
Of course nexus 4 is next... So you think that nexus 5 will be next
[Nexus 4 General] madd0g:
Those commits were made on November 2012.
[Nexus 4 General] fade2black101:
Wishful thinking by some people on here thinking Google actually wanted to update the perfectly capable galaxy nexus.

It wasnt due to TI. It was the 18 month policy.

Get over it.
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
That's kind of what I think. The ti theory seems like some kind of urban legend people are telling themselves to make them feel like Google "gave it their best shot". I think they set this 18 month rule so they don't get overwhelmed. Personally, I think 18 months is a bit too soon to discontinue, but hey that's what xda's for right?

Oh well first world problems, lol.
[Nexus 4 General] Akaliner:
For the next 2 years I suppose
[Nexus 4 General] tjs_spl:
May be May be not, only time will tell....

N4 next to be ditched???

May be May be not, only time will tell.....

But come on guys

why are you so worried......

This is a Android Dev Phone much like our GNex...

Ok Google has stop supporting it GNex...dosen't mean we will too...

As long as we have XDA and our devs here we don't have to worry about a thing....

I know I will get the updates....though not OTA but I will get them.....

Much like what I have on my Mako right now - 4.4 Kitkat.......thnx PA

GNex also has a port...

Thats why open source is so cool.....

We won't lose support for any of our handset....

Unless it has a hardware limitation or we give it up....:mad:

The latter will never happen in case of my Mako :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] LoVeRice:
The nexus5 will be ditch next year, thats the rule
[Nexus 4 General] norpan111:
4.3 is still much more functional than iOS 7.. And is not keeping you out play store. Gnex with 4.3 is much better than ios7 on i4 .
[Nexus 4 General] Nex-kira:
I think that the nexus 4 will be no ditch only after another new smartphone nexus
[Nexus 4 General] alpha-niner64:
While I agree with everything you said, it's the implication that worries people. Gnex was capped because of 'stupid reasons'. Kitkat was designed to run on lower-end hardware(as stated by Google themselves) but Gnex was axed? That's the standing point in all this. It doesn't matter what the community can do, that's peripheral to the standing point.

If anything, the community simply wants Google to admit the real reason Gnex was axed then we'll all move on. But right now, this is bad PR for Google. Hence, this topic of "Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt".
[Nexus 4 General] dobbs3x:
I know that it has been stayed that kit Kat can run on 512mb team but is there any word that out also can run on shower low end old cpus, older hours and ad lower caches etc?
[Nexus 4 General] killman2659:
As long as they don't purposefully mess up the last update to get us to upgrade i will be happy. I will probably have a new phone by then anyway, but this phone will be supported by devs for a long time. The funny thing is, people are visiting a developer site complaining about the update longevity when they are probably more than capable of flashing a ROM when support is dropped. :p

[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
Well, after looking at all the Nexus 5 hoopla the past few hours (they have some damned nice cases available from Spigen for that thing, wish the LGOG would have sparked that kind of interest, oh well) I figured I'd ask this question so, the poll above pretty much covers it.

If LTE is working for you I'd appreciate knowing it, and the setup you have with it working. A few of us that have the LGOG and had working LTE which suddenly just up and died on us are trying to figure out exactly why it suddenly just up and died on us, perhaps some more info in a thread geared towards it specifically might help.

Thanks...

For the record: I'm running the stock 4.1.2 build with the stock AT&T JB radio currently, using a T-Mobile $30/month plan and the LTE functionality worked fine the first day or so I got the LGOG just by adding the APN for it (fast.t-mobile.com) - I didn't have to do anything else, didn't even have to change anything network related: when I originally got this LGOG about 2 weeks ago all I did was add that APN and LTE worked as noted by the 4G/LTE icon on the status bar. After a day or so of using it the icon changed to the standard 4G icon and the LTE functionality never returned and still hasn't.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
The vast majority of tmous users don't get lte on e970. Check att lte freqs vs tmo freqs in your area.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
As I said in the post above, it DID work when I first got the LGOG about two weeks ago, and here in Vegas T-Mobile very much has their actual LTE service enabled (as noted, Las Vegas was the first city in the US where they "flipped the switch" so we technically had it before anybody else did). There are a number of other owners that have had it working when they first started using the T-Mobile SIM cards, but over random periods of time the LTE functionality just stops working, kaput, clear out of the blue and then we just can't seem to get it functional again.

It's not a T-Mobile issue because their coverage here in downtown Vegas where I happen to live blankets the area completely and again it DID work just fine, with two different (yet same series) T-Mobile SIM cards, but then it just stops working and I/we would like to work on a solution as to why it did or does work then it suddenly stops.

I don't really care about actually using it in most situations, I just care that it should work since the LGOG covers the frequencies where T-Mobile provides LTE service, that it did work for myself and others, and then for some unknown reason it stops working and I/we can't figure out the specific reason(s) for it to just stop.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Jank4AU:
Have you tried these APN settings?

Name: MetroPCS LTE

APN: fast.metropcs.com

Proxy: blank

Port: blank

Username/Password: blank

Server: Not set

MMSC: http://metropcs.mmsmvno.com/mms/wapenc

MMS proxy: not set

MCC: 310

MNC: 260

Authentication Type: not set

APN type: default,mms,supl

APN protocol: ipv4

APN roaming protocol: ipv4

T- Mobile largely gained LTE in the Vegas area by acquiring MetroPCS. Their LTE is on the CDMA spectrum and T- Mobile is broadcasting on gsm. That might be part of your problem. TMO is probably relying on the MPCS equipment in Vegas.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] br0adband:
Hadn't considered that, Jank4AU, but I did just try adding that APN info and still no success with LTE. As stated, it did work originally because within an hour of getting this LGOG I had installed Speedtest and ran some here where I live and I had varied results from 28 to 35-36 Mbps - since this phone is only capable of 21Mbps HSPA+, and not the 42Mbps aspect, and since it was clearly showing the 4G LTE icon on the status bar, I know it was working at least for a brief period of time and I know the hardware is capable of it. :confused:

It's funny in some respects because earlier when I tried that 4.4 AOSP that houstonn has created I noticed that the default APNs (whereas with the stock ROM I have no defaults at all) pulled from the SIM card are:

MetroPCS (fast.metropcs.com)

T-Mobile GPRS (no APN info set)

T-Mobile GPRS (fast.t-mobile.com)

Alas, no matter what I do it just won't enable LTE. When I bring up the available networks on the stock ROM (4.1.2) I get what's pictured as attached, so the phone most definitely can see the T-Mobile LTE network, but whenever I attempt to connect to it there will be a ~30 second delay with nothing happening, then it just reverts to HSPA.

This fiasco is baffling... :eek:

Hi there guys. Those who are curious like me to know about the screen of note 3 has gorilla glass 3 protection or not, here is the answer.

I emailed samsung customer service and they replied me back and told me it got gorilla glass 3 protection..:)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cb_jimmy:
Does this mean I can finally get rid of the annoying screen protector and use the phone as it's mean to be used?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Maverick777:
No. Gorilla Glass 3 is the same as Gorilla Glass 2 except it's thinner. It's only scratch resistant, not scratch proof. Sand can easily scratch glass. You may not think your around any if you're not near a beach, but sand is every where. All it takes is a few grains to end up if you're pocket or a table you set your phone on to scratch it's pretty face. If you like living on the edge go for it, but I'll continue to use a screen protector.

Maybe someday we'll come up with inexpensive and tough Sapphire screens. That's when you won't have to worry about scratches. Since the only thing harder than sapphire are diamonds.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
I've never used a screen protector, on any smartphone, and have never had a scratch on the screens regardless.

What bloody idiot puts his phone face down on a table? :confused: Does that not defeat the whole point of having a screen?

On the older models with speaker on the back it made a bit of sense, (not really, because the table served as an enhancer) but not on this phone.

I live in the UAE, sand is a constant danger.

I also am heavily into off-roading. you'd be amazed where sand can get.

I have sand in my pockets, ears, nose, mouth etc, this stuff gets everywhere!

Put a screen protector, it's a no brainer for me.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] MILJANN:
It is really a no-big deal to put the screen protector on your phone.it's not expensive,and it doesn't hurt. right?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] padlad:
I learnt the hard way, I used the Note 1 with no protection for 12 months and sold it with no scratches on the screen. Then on my Note 2 I used a Samsung flip cover, at some point the velvet coating picked up some grit and whilst it was in my pocket scratched the hell out of the screen! Now my Note 3 has a tempered glass screen protector on, and will always have one on!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] burtcom:
Mine came pre-scratched :)

But you can't see it at all when the screen is on. And when off it's barely visible, and you have to hold it just so to see it.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kiahnlliya:
Guys. And girls.

Check your Samsung user manual. Does it tell you not to use a screen protector? Yeah. It really does.

So: go without a screen protector if you want to, and if the screen does get scratched, bring the phone and the user manual to the store while you still have valid warranty. You should be able to get a new phone or a screen exchange.

It says it right in the manual. So if it does get scratched, use your rights as a consumer. You used your phone according to what is outlined in the manual and now it has a defect, so you get a repaired phone or a replacement. You know... That's what the warranty bit is all about.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] acheney1990:
I have not used a screen protector in years. It just diminishes the nice touch screen feeling.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] klau1:
If someone where to carefully inspect your phone under a light, they will be able to see micro scratches scattered across the screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultramag69:
That is why we have the hardened glass protectors... It isn't that plastic feel that seems to cause more friction when using the s-pen...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] sangreal:
+1

And it looks and feels amazing to use. Well worth the money.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] cb_jimmy:
Now you're making me interested. Does the protector feel the same as naked screen? I always want the smooth glassy feel of the screen.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ultramag69:
It is glass.... A thin layer of hardened glass over the screen.... Feels like it's naked but gives awesome protection. Costs a bit more than the normal screen protector but well worth it...

The one I got - spigen glasT - has a few different coloured home key raisers in it too... Pick of black, clear or pink...

Oh, and the easiest install I've ever done with no bubbles... Line up on screen and then swipe finger down middle.... Lightly press out any air bubbles that are left, if some small bubbles left over, just leave for a day or two and they disappear... Brilliant....

[Galaxy Note 3 General] @rbiter:
Lol. And you do know Samsung is selling screen protectors for the note3? They're backordered right but since it on their website it would seem they have intentions of selling them. I might actually try them out to see how the fit is and quality when I have some extra cash lying around.

A device with such a vulnerable screen such as the Note 3 demands a good quality REAL tempered glass screen protector.

Im using the iloome screenmate, It better better than the original glass and takes up that lip that the sides have.

The device feels better than stock with this protector, its absolutley worth the $27 bucks.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Road Trip:
The bigger question here is, who cares whether your phone gets a scratch? It’s a tool, a material thing. I was not at all careful with my Note 2. I used it without a case, threw it around, took it to the beach, used it under the shower on a daily basis, and it even fell of a two story building. Of course there were scratches everywhere. But who cares, you don’t go about applying protectors to a hammer right? It is just a tool. A good looking tool, but still just a tool.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] cb_jimmy:
Between Spigen and iloome tempered glass, which one should I go for? I'm leaning toward iloome as it's cheaper. Or is there any other brand I should consider?
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Kiahnlliya:
Yeeeeeaaaaa, exactly my point. So if you use your device normally, not manhandling it, and the screen is scratched from normal wear and tear, you can base your warranty claim on the fact that the official user manual says not to use a screen protector. It's a no brainer. Do use one if you want to be on the safe side. After all it is a hassle to have to go to the store with the device, they will possibly send it away for repairs and so on... But my point is, if you use your device normally and you scratch your screen, you can make a warranty claim without problems.

By the way. I had my Note 2 replaced once because of a scratch. I showed them the user manual in the store and within 3 minutes I had a new device. It also does depend a bit on where you live and the consumer laws of your country. It also depends on how good you are at talking. After that replacement I did start to use a screen protector though. It's annoying to have to set up a new device from scratch (pun intended)

If you had an 80,000-800,000 dollar car would you bang it up against curbs, bumps, other cars,

abuse it, neglect it and not protect it in any way? don't be foolish..

maybe you have no regard for expensive or valuable things...

But a majority of the members here place high regard on their investment and treat it like a high end piece of electrical equipment ...if the car analogy doesnt work for you..maybe having an expensive device isnt meant for you.

go spend your money and destroy it at your leisure.
