I have to clean the camera lens pretty much everyday, almost every single time I take out my phone of my pocket, I grab it exactly where the camera module is :rolleyes: , is it only me? Is there a particular reason why Google decided to move the camera from the middle to the top right side? :confused::eek:
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Cellphones are compactly designed, they have it there because that's the available space to put it in relation to all other hardware components in the phone. And I think it's more likely LG engineers who put it there.

Just chop off the fingers that get in the camera way or carry a microcloth with you to clean the camera when it's dirty.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Doesn't affect me. Ergonomics dictate that my camera lens is in the bottom-right corner of my pocket

I have the same issue. Often times it results in hazy photos with light flares.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
So do you guys keep your phones in your pockets, right-way-up? Then grab it using "pinch and pull"?

Try this.

Put your phone in your pocket upside down with the screen facing inwards against your leg.

Now pretend you're receiving a call. Slip your hand fully in your pocket (as you would if you're keeping your hand warm) so it is over the back of your phone (which will be between your palm and your leg) and grab. Pull it out and its already the correct way round in your hand for taking calls or typing.

Then compare that to the right-way-up pinch and pull. You probably have to swizzle the handset in your hand so its in the correct position to answer a call, which leaves more chance for droppage

Hi guys.

I can't get any results when searching with S Finder. I have checked in settings and all options are ticked. To consider this includes chrome being ticked, the minimum i should be getting back is Internet results. I have even made sure to create an S Note that should return results.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marc.knuckle:
I was hoping that someone would have at least a thought on thus.

I have tried wiping the data in the s finder app but still no good.

I booted into safe mode and it worked on about 5-6 searches. After i rebooted into normal mode it worked for about 3-4 searches so I thought it was sorted. The next time I came back into the app and searched again, no good it just carried on searching and not returning any results.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikar6:
Exactly same problem... I even did a factory reset and flashed again the rom (official) to correct it. It did, but when I let the apps download again from the play store, same problem reappeared. I don't get it, I even blocked apps like greenify from redownloading because I thought it could have something to do, no result. Further I didn't touch the rom, didn't inactivate any mother-apps. I would appreciate any ideas. It seems that some app is interfering with s finder...

Tried a lot of s finder settings.

I remember that I changed categories quite a lot. Give it a try. Also change filter settings etc.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZackG:
It's the PayPal app. At least that's what did it for me.

Spent an hour on the phone with Samsung tech support and they eventually told me to reset my phone to factory settings. I was very angry because I just bought this phone yesterday and spent the whole day setting it up to how I like it, and now I had to reset it.

After reset, it worked just fine. So I went through the app store and downloaded all the apps I use.... And then it started glitching exactly like the Op said. So I uninstalled app after app until it worked... And PayPal was the last app to go. So to test it, I reinstalled PayPal and kept it checked in S Finder's search settings, and voila, it glitched. So I unchecked it, restarted my phone, and now S Finder works just fine.

Let me know if this helped anyone. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to fix this issue, and it would be nice to know if it helped anyone. If anyone knows of any other app that freezes S Finder, post it here. Samsung needs to fix this

Btw, sorry for bumping an old thread. No one had a solution, so I'm just trying to help people out.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikar6:
Solved!

Thank you so much for posting this!!!

Myself I had factory reset the device a couple of times already because of other malfunctions and battery drain, therefore when I found this problem I couldn't go through the same process again. I knew it must have been an app because when I initially turned on my device, before restoring the apps, the search function was working ok. I also contacted the samsung helpdesk who didnt have a clue, they suggested a factory reset and one by one app installation (thanks, I could think so far by myself!).

Now, after uninstalling the Paypal app, search function works perfect, no problems what so ever. Thank you very very much again!!!

Then I went through this page https://android-build.linaro.org/ to get some idea, seems none on Mako.

Any suggestion?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidmetal88:
I am one of the unlucky people who's radio was damaged by the 4.3 update meaning my IMEI=0 and baseband is unknown....since I am in Pakistan and got the phone from here i cant RMA the device...so I have an ipod touch device in which every function works except the phone function. I have got a seperate phone now but want to keep the radio less nexus 4 for other functions like browsing and games.

Now in Nexus 4 devices with the IMEI 0 problem only Android 4.2.2 boots while both Android 4.3 and 4.4 get stuck at the boot screen logo.

so my question is..is there some way I can get any kitkat rom to boot even if its without IMEI? Would any one be so kind enough to make a modified kitkat ROM that boots on Nexus 4s with IMEI=0 and baseband unknown problem?

and my second question is why is it that on Nexus 4s broken by the 4.3 update that have IMEI=0 and baseband unknown that ONLY 4.2.1/4.2.2 boots without phone ability but 4.3 and 4.4 do not boot at all remaining stuck at logo? Any possible explaination? Whats in the 4.2x ROMS that make it boot in such affected devices and whats in 4.3/4,4 that stops them from booting in IMEI=0 Nexus 4s?

I just looking to boot a kitkat ROM even if IMEI still remains zero.

I am a noob so go easy on me and I would really appreciate any help,suggestions or ANYTHING at all. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Have you tried to simply reflashing the baseband or flashing the full factory image which have the baseband included? The instructions are in my signature.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidmetal88:
I have already done all the basic troubleshooting steps. i have flashed full factory images via fast boot many times only 4.2.2 boot with imei=O while 4.3 n 4.4 do not boot at all thats why m asking why only 4.2x boots n others do not n i will appreciate if someone can get kitkat to boot on my phone even if IMEI still remained zero.

I have also flashed again and again all the basebands(old and new) problem presists...baseband only shows in the bootloader mode while it remains unknown within android OS. All the threads I have seen of my problem remain unconcluded so I have little hope of ever restoring IMEI but I would like if atleast Kitkat boots somehow :(
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
Sorry, don't know what to tell you, but I think you're not the only one with similar issues. Have you tried with custom roms?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidmetal88:
As many as I could but the pattern remains the same...all 4.2.2 ones boot without IMEI...while 4.3 and 4.4 custom ROMS simply do not....yes many people have had this exact same issue...many threads here too....one thing is common in these cases the issue started after updating to Android 4.3(guess some lethal bug in it that broke some Nexus 4 phones) but I wonder what stops a 4.3 ROM or a kitkat ROM from booting while facing this bug where as ALL 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 ROMS boot even though basebandvis unknown. I do hope such bugs dont occur in future updates in my country a nexus 4 without phone ability and inability to be updated is valueless and my hard earned cash has literally gone down the drain...may be I will sell it for parts or something.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hassi4042:
first thing first.

ensure that you have an unlocked bootloader.

ensure that you have a custom recovery i.e cwm twrp

answer the following question, do you ever tried flashing a custom rom? i.e cm10.2

did you tried flashing baseband?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liquidmetal88:
Bootloader is unlocked.....custom recovery is there.....have tried all cyanogen mod versions available for Nexus 4.....result is the same....4.2.2 ROMS(official factory images as well as custom ROMS) boot with IMEI=0 and baseband unknown.....while 4.3,4.4 ROMS are always stuck on boot animation...Having seen many threads on my problem it seems my IMEI problem is unlikely to be fixed( nope flashing different ROMS, clearing caches,flashing different radios via custom recovery or fast boot does not change any thing) Now I am tired of trying to fix the IMEI again and again I just want someone to help me boot any Kit kat ROM even if its without IMEI or just explain to me why Kitkat and 4.3 ROMS dont boot when IMEI= 0 while all 4.2 ROMS boot?

Kindly also explain why baseband version appears unknown within Android OS but is detected while in bootloader mode. Thanks

Nothing? Only 4.2.x is bootable???
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opssemnik:
i booted with imei=0 (no radio installed) however it took up to 40 mins on the 1st boot and took up to 15 on other ones.

to wait less, u can install 4.2.2 stock from factory image and let it boot. then u install custom recovery, and reboot back to fastboot mode. on fastboot mode u get a 4.4.2 stock factory image, extract it,extract image-occam-blabla.zip and copy the system image. then u type fastboot format system, fastboot flash system <path to system.img>.

then go to custom recovery and:

if using cwm:

go to advanced -> wipe dalvik cache

if twrp:

Wipe -> advanced wipe -> mark dalvik cache and cache and dismark others

then reboot and wait up to 15mins

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flotron:
Sorry to wake up this thread but i don't like to double post.

I have the same situation with my nexus 4, i assume the phone is bricked and stuck in Android 4.2. But i want to take some advantage of this bricked phone and use it for Android Auto in my car (with compatible AA Stereo), as an always on and dedicated to the car.

The problem is that Android 4.2 is compatible with nothing good today, so i want to update at least to lollipop or marshmallow.

Is there any way that i can flash a newer ROM (custom, stock, whatever) that works with an "IMEI unknown" phone? Because 4.2 is the only working ROM, others stuck in boot logo

/system is 999424 blocks, and /cache is 678016 blocks

Why such big partitions are allocated for these? It feels quite wasting.

How is the free space on /system? I hardly can believe that all of that 1G space is really needed.

(I'm contemplating buying a Moto G. First I thought that the 8G version will be enough. But after seeing the partition layout, it seems that I'll need the 16G.

Now I have an SGS I9000 8G, but curiously it does have more storage than the Moto G.
