I keep wondering if I should of went the LG G2 for the screen, processer, battery life, etc.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] DroidOnRoids:
Because screw bloated TouchWiz and it's crappy aesthetics. Seriously, the LG G2 is the same reason lol

Hardware wise, that LG G2 is amazing though. But those features are useless to me. HTC Sense has enough OEM skin features for me to use my phone daily.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] exzacklyright:
Yeah but if you root and install a custom rom that's hardly an issue. Plus i heard they're getting 4.4 in NOV/DEC.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] chip.hughes:
Metal. Heavy metal. And I looked seriously at the G2. I have had Samsung, used Nova launcher, I was happy with it. There are features this has though..blazing fast, GPS radio locks instantly, some others. I hate the camera, sorry not a fan, HTC could have done better. My Inc from 3 years ago beat it hands down. Heck, I think my old LG VX8300 beat it. Remember the "tank"? I hear that the S5 will be metal, and if it is, I'm leaving y'all. I'm just tired of the soft plastic crap.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] brholt6:
Hmm...your camera might have a hardware problem.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] chip.hughes:
Maybe. It doesn't do the purple thing. Pictures just are not very sharp. Out of focus.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
I owned a LG phone years ago an old flip phone and was not happy with the build quality as both screens cracked in no time from being in my pocket. Where as my Motorola razr was a tank and could take abuse . Since then I swore no more LG phones . It's a personal choice for me.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] HypostaticOnion:
Well in this case I wanted both plus I was eyeing the note 3. However with the deal at best buy I snagged this. Plus I signed up for something that allowed me a $50 bb card if I used them to upgrade. Total price: $3.74

[Verizon HTC One (M7)] refreblast:
I've been a Motorola guy for a long time. When my upgrade rolled around in August, I was extremely happy that Verizon had finally gotten the One. I decided to pick it up in blue while it was on sale for $50 at Best Buy. Kinda regret getting the blue, but whatever..... The build quality is the only reason. It is astounding.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Frankie1588:
Build quality for sure.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaluNoPeleke:
Whenever I flash a new ROM (even if it is just a new CM build) it takes such a long time to install it (maybe 10 minutes). Other things like Gapps need only a few seconds. On my Nexus 4 flashing a ROM took only about 30 seconds.

Why is this?

I use Touch CWM 6.0.4.4

Thanks
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeNav:
go to settings, check the tick mark that says "Use rm -rf instead of reformatting"

Then should be fast again
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungGalaxyStig:
Isn't that just for fast wiping?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeNav:
Nope I believe for both, had the same issue and that fixed it completely
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaluNoPeleke:
I don't have settings menu in my CWM.

Is there another version which offers settings?

I have 6.0.4.4
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaluNoPeleke:
With TWRP the option works for manual formatting but when I flash a ROM then it still takes about 10mins.

Is there nothing to speed this up?

I know that it took only 30 seconds on my Nexus 4 before...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cggorman:
I have a process that works well.

1. Start recovery and initiate wipe.

2. Go to fridge and grab a beer.

3. Drink beer.

4. Check phone. If wipe complete, initiate flash ROM.

5. Go to fridge and grab a beer.

6. Drink beer

7. Repeat steps 5-6 until flash completes.

It's a little involved, but it has significantly reduced the frustration associated with waiting for wipe and flash.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Yeah i was gonna reply saying its due to the format of /system it takes for ever, i wish zips would have rm -rf instead but they dont, never realised TWRP had a option for that so thanks for that :)

EDIT: i see now that only works with a manual format if the format is done via ROM zip file it still formats, the only fix would be for ROM creators to "rm -rf /system" instead of format.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Here is a application for windows i made quickly basically it fixes slow ROM installs by patching the zip file,

Run it through my application (5-10seconds)

Copy to phone

Flash
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Is it just because the Roms are so huge or what? You'd think a format wouldn't actually care about the files themselves as much as just moving from 1 end of the memory spectrum to the last of that particular partition.

I wonder what causes the long format delays?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steamer86:
It doesn't in CWM. O_o
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
no idea but rm -rf is a lot quicker for some reason... usually the other way, especially on windows, when i have loads of data on a usb pen and don't want any i always format rather than delete everything (linux = rm -rf *) as its quicker.

CWM also doesn't seem to be as good for flashing ROM's for example the pa 4.0 4.4 ROM

Edit: Seems this is a more widespread problem, looks like the consensus is that is has to do with Daylight Savings Time change & the wireless charging Orb. Some others with similar problem:

(Original Post)

Hey guys. I have a 16GB Nexus 4 that is rooted (SuperSU 1.65), running CWM (6.0.3.6), stock radio, stock kernel, stock 4.3.

I installed the pre-released hangouts v2 that was extracted from the AOSP 4.4. It immediately started causing random apps to crash so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the original version of hangouts. Ever since then though, every morning when I take my phone off the charger (orb) whenever I try to open any google apps (gmail, settings, camera, etc) it will force close that app. Once I reboot the phone everything seems to be working fine until the next morning.

I have tried clearing the cache & dalvik but to no avail.

My last nandroid is from a few months ago so Id really like to have to reload that only as a last resort. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Try clearing the data of Google Services Framework. If that doesn't work, reflash your Gapps package.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burnski:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryan stewart:
Mine started doing this but not rooted and didn't install any pre-release apks. The clock even crashes while on the charger when it tries to sound the morning alarm.

A reboot clears it for the day but its back every morning. I reset the phone but no change.

whelp, i was wrong. When I woke up this morning, checked my email and it crashed. So I tried to go into settings to clear the framework and the settings crashed too. So I rebooted and its fine again. Any other ideas?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STINKY10306:
Same problem

I was the one that started that thread on Reddit. I've done a factory reset from the settings menu, cleared the cache data and factory reset via fastboot menu and the issue is still occurring. Phone is completely bone stock, no root or anything.

For me it started Saturday 11/2. I have been using the charging orb just as everyone else. I tried using my wall charger last night and I didn't have an issue. Not sure why out of the blue this could be the cause. I will be trying my orb again tonight to see if it reoccurs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bobvark:
Mine did not crash this morning, after clearing the google service framework yesterday.... now it might crash tomorrow.

here is my thought into the process... Are we all using the google alarm clock? and after the time change?

4.4 can't get here fast enough :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filipemonte:
The first time it happens to me i was using the timely app as alarm clock. And it occurred the same day i got the time change. After that i uninstall timely and start using de default clock app.

The same day i got the time change the chrome app was not working either, i had to change my time zone to fix it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burnski:
I dont use my phone as an alarm clock, I dont use daydream or anything like that.

Do we all use the orb to charge though? Is that something we all seem to have in common?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burnski:
Wow, just went through the reddit thread. seems to be a much bigger issue that originally though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burnski:
I also edited the title to reflect the orb being the newly suspected cause of the problem - not hangouts as originally thought.

I also found a link to a google group through the reddit thread, so I posted in that to complete the triangle. LOL. Hopefully someone comes up with a solution.

Should also mention on here that my wifes charges her Nexus 4 wirelessly with an LG WCP-300. I charge with the Nexus orb. She does not have the problems.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happydan:
It's not the orb charger. I've been getting the same issue, but I use the N4 cable charger. Timely alarm clock still goes off, but there's a FC message when I go to my phone. Reset fixes it for the day. UK based, CM10.2 M1 + latest goo.im gapps. Also, I have a weird issue where the screen keeps turning back on when I lock it. Just keeps the lock screen permanently on when I'm charging in the morning.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filipemonte:
I dont think the problem is related to the orb or wireless charger. Two people just post about the problem and they are using wired charging.

Everybody had to change the time before the problem start (summer time, DTS, whatever)? i'm suspicious that android is not handling this changes.

Anybody knows if android has a log with the errors? Maybe we can found some tip.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burnski:
has anyone had the problem and NOT charged overnight?

Its possible that this occus overnight because the DST change usually occurs at 2am so if the glitch happens at 2am most of us dont see it until we get up.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burnski:
Im going to disable the automatic network time & automatic time zone settings tonight - see what happens tomorrow morning.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] STINKY10306:
I like this idea, but for me, the issue started the morning before the daylight savings rollback.

I used my wired charger last night and didn't have the issue this AM, but will be trying my orb again tonight.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lawalty:
Guys,

Yesterday, I received my highly anticipated N5, and have fallen in love with it! However, maybe because of the 4.4 (KitKat) OS that's could be causing this, but I can't find a floating browser that doesn't FC everytime you click on a dropdown list from a web site.

I came from a Note3, which I returned for this N5. I gave my wife my Note2 from last year. I've gotten myself used to use the Pop-up browser app that came with stock on my Note2. The Note3 didn't have one, so I started to use the various different versions from the Play Store.

Now, since I gotten so used in using a floating browser, I can't seem to find one that doesn't force close every time I tap on a drop down list on any website.

Try it. Download a floating browser from the Play Store, and go to this link:

http://www.scrabblecheat.com/mobile.aspx

Then tap on any of the drop down list options.

Any ideas?
