For me, the key is to get the media file from one place to another without the device thinking the delivery is via email, for it to remain intact(=uncompressed). For most, having any copy, of whatever it is, is great, in and of itself. :)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] nm8:
Hi folks

its me again wanting to ask a few questions before i get my hands dirty.

after upgrading my radio version to 1.13, now i want to go ahead with Big storage.

first question is do i really need a 128mb sd card, or can i use my 1gb sd?

question 2, will this big storage hack be applicable with my imate NEW jam? A.F.A.I.K, the big storage hack was used with previous models.

3rd question, if i fail doing the big storage hack ( or i encounter problems during the process), is it possible to revert back to my imate's original state?

thanx in advance
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jarekt:
U can use 1GB SD card but U will have to work with files as large as your SD card size. As the matter of fact there is no problem with keeping backups - winrar can shrink it down to less than 100 MB AFAIK.
[Nexus 4 General] ryanwalexander:
I have a N5 ordered, to be shipped Dec 3.

With shipping, the 32gb comes to $460 CAD. I currently have a N4 16gb that can be sold for $250 I'm guessing.

Since I've been running Rastakat 4.4 on the N4 with ART enabled, it feels really smooth and the battery life also seems improved - almost as much as the N5 battery life estimates.

I do love a nice screen and wouldn't mind the extra pixels on the N5 and having a touch thinner device.

Am I alone in this?
[Nexus 4 General] killman2659:
You are not alone :)

I am seriously considering getting the N5. Since the N4 is close to its 18 month support, I am probably going to upgrade.
[Nexus 4 General] kenypowa:
Why don't you save the money and buy the next Nexus phone instead? N5 is nice but not worth the $200 upgrade. I also updated my N4 to 4.4 with ART and it is so smooth.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
If you have the extra money I see no reason not to upgrade. Me personally, I'm gonna wait till next year when they start releasing 64-bit phones, until then I'm fine with my N4:)
[Nexus 4 General] anwedr:
I don't play much videos on the phone, I don't use my Nexus 4 for the sole purpose of web browsing, I don't play many games that require any fancy screen, my Nexus 4 isn't broken.

And I don't feel the $200 upgrade is worth it.

These points sure convinced me when I had to cancel my pre-order. :(
[Nexus 4 General] chiewable:
I'm staying with the n4. The biggest upgrade on the n5 was LTE but the n4 has LTE in Canada (you quoted Canadian prices so I'm assuming you are in Canada)

I'm either getting the next nexus or a n5 when google clears them out next fall
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
I want it to but to me it is essentially the same device. Look at how buttery smooth the nexus 4 is now in its current state. The biggest killer to me was the fact that the nexus 5 has only a 2300 mah battery. I'm 100% positive if the nexus 5 had also had a 3000 mah battery like the Lg g2, it would have been a guaranteed purchase. As of now, there's really not much we are missing on IMHO. And updates will definitely be here to stay for a while. I hope the nexus 6 does everything right, or that a device comes out in 2014 that meets my requirements. I'm not sure if i want to use a device that does not give me the stock android ui's experience.

If you sell your devicae for 250$ and get the nexus 5, it's only 200$ you're spending that that doesn't seem too bad off, if i could fine someone to buy my nexus 4 (in clean condition, has had a cover as well as screen protector since day of purchase) then i would more than be willing to sell my nexus 4 in favor for a nexus 5. But i can't be bothered searching for a buyer, that's the only reason i'm not doing so. Haha!
[Nexus 4 General] View92612:
I agree. I still have my Nexus 4 and do not feel N5 is much better. Unfortunately I need Wifi calling at home so I finally bought an LG G2 for $450 from eBay(almost brand new with a manufacturing date of less than 2 months) That is about the same price as a 32GB N5 but with much more. For pure android experience, I have enough from N7, N4, and Nook HD+ on CM 10.1. For Wifi calling, taking pictures, and traveling, LG G2 meets my needs much better due to the camera and larger battery. I wish I could sell my N4 for $250. My local price is down to $150-$200 due to too many people selling it... I might just keep it as a backup phone or test platform.
[Nexus 4 General] Crisisx1:
I also thought about upgrading..but with a 2014 car payment I think I'll skip it.

Running 4.4 and its real nice and smooth.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
In the nexus 5 forum I'm seeing terrible battery stats compared to n4. Guys are posting as low as 3hrs max screen time, much less than I get on lte. With art I doubt you'll constantly notice a difference between this and the 5.

I will upgrade for 4K recording like note 3, Flex screen or 1440/2160P screen, 3gb ram, and cpu that can beat A7x.

Sent from my SGH-T959 Backup
[Nexus 4 General] consolation:
Got one for my daughter as she was on my old iPhone 4. I used it for a couple of days first. In day to day usage, I can't see any difference tbh. Honestly, wait till N6 so you feel the benefit of the upgrade. Plus the camera (while taking better pictures) is slow as molasses. It's just not that compelling an upgrade and build quality is not nearly the same, it feels bit Samsung-ish...

It's not a bad phone at all, but it's just not that big a jump from N4.
[Nexus 4 General] uchihakurtz:
Nexus 5 is still a 'meh' upgrade. The spec bump is nice but it could, no, should've been better. Especially the battery, that part is a big turn off. Design wise, though fragile, Nexus 4 still looks sexier.

A lot of interesting things are gonna happen in 2014, I'd wait till mid 2014 to see what to upgrade to.

Sent from my blazing fast Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] Deleted member 3452239:
I wanted the n5 solely for the camera and 32gb storage. I'm debating on if I should upgrade. I kept my n4 in near perfect condition so I can get 200+ for it. But I'm still not sure if I want to spend basically $225, which is a good deal imo, but I also like hoarding my money
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
It's your money, buy it if you want, if not don't buy it.
[Nexus 4 General] 2shellbonus:
I always try and come up with reasons what I would change in my current phone/gadget and see how the phone I am considering fares with the new needs.

So if I were to look at the N4 i'd change:

- Battery life

- Camera

- Slightly bigger screen

- Louder speaker

- Louder ear piece speaker

- More space (32gb)

So speed wise its great. It's smooth and I doubt I need a processor bump that much. I dont need LTE.

So lets see how the N5 stacks up:

- Battery - marginally better. Or maybe even not.

- Camera - sure it's better in theory. But reading reviews makes me think that I will be changing something that is horrible to something that is simply isn't very good.

- Screen seems to be a big improvement, but again viewing angles seem to have been a bit meh

- Speaker on the N5 is actually quiter than the one in N4, so a big no no

- Earpiece speaker on the N5 doesnt seem to be any better than in the N4, only maybe there is no N4 static.

- N5 sold where I am from come only in 16gb versions, so...

So following logic and not the simple desire of owning a new gadget, I will be skipping the N5. It simply isnt the phone that will make me replace my N4
[Nexus 4 General] fuzzyAI:
Depends on what you expect to use your N5. I personally will stay with N4 until it dies :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] Pipusz:
Personally, I wait for the N6. The N5 is nice and has stunning specs, but it lacks the 'wow-factor'. Nothing wows me on that phone. Yeh, the screen is nice and the SoC is a beast, but still, it lacks something special. Something unique.
[Nexus 4 General] samskisam:
One of my friends bought the N5 and I could use it for some time. My first opinion was that it is not a great upgrade for me. My N4 is still a great phone. Its smoth, quick, no lags and I can run every app that I need.

Unless the build a better battery which a big improvement I wont buy a new Phone.

For me it´s not worth the 200+ $ but its your desicion.
[Nexus 4 General] ihakim:
I have a N4 and had the N5 for a week. I decided to return it because the new email app has a bug which doesn't allow anyone to use Exchange email - endless sync loop which doesn't push new messages and kills the battery. I personally couldn't get Exchange email on my phone and that was a deal breaker. Take a look and you'll see numerous threads about it and not much of a response from Google.

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stealthj:
How thin of a case? My case is pretty thin (wouldn't really call it a case, more of just a back cover), and it doesn't fit matter which adapter I use
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaveBob:
Couldn't say unfortunately as I don't use a case but the non-case adaptor won't fit my phone because it has a glass screen protector on it. the tolerance for the connector seems to be very small.

This occurs on all calls, not just here or there. Also sometimes the phone.apk will FC, and also sometimes the phone will reboot. I have filed for a warranty covered repair with Moto but I am holding out to send it in until after I get the soak test to see if maybe it is software related and not hardware. After the problem first started to occur I RSD'd back to stock again and it didn't do me any good leading me to believe it is indeed hardware.

I was unable to do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1781250 method because I cant even set up the N7 in Debugging mode and was confused by the prompt instructions because it didn't work for me. (I'm using Windows 7)

I believe you can try something below to bring it back...

then after command window opens...

connect ur mobile with computer using USB, reboot it to fastboot...

then in PC,

Type in command window ----->>>>> fastboot devices

if ur device ID is displayed--- then u can see ur phone is still connected to ur pc...:) :)

then after that try to download a working Recovery --- either CWM/TWRP --- then copy that to the folder which contains ur adb files...

then type in command window

fastboot flash recovery #### recovery image.img #### ---------------------->> ( replace #### recovery image.img #### by the real name of ur recovery)

when it says OKAY done...then u don't have any problem.... if not, i guess ur mobile drivers are not installed properly..so u have to install it again in ur pc...

------------------------------

after installing ur recovery --- then restart ur mobile into recovery option --- backup ur current recovery....

----------------------------

then u can flash other roms at ease --- Though i use HTC ONE X...i hope Nexus is not much different with the sequence...if u wanna know more about rooting...read in the XDA forum...if possible also go through this guide...

http://onexroot.com/one-x-root-guide/
