The Nexus 4 Thread

[kennyboy]

ya man still on stock. maybe its time to try flash a different kernel.

does flashing of kernel wipe out the system?

nope..............

 

[galapogos]

Flash kernel same as flash full custom roms. U can flash custom roms, u got the prerequisites to flash kernels.

Some people will swear by different kernels. I just pick the one that seems most popular, friendly dev to me and stick to it. So franco for me.

Thanks. Haven't touched the Nexus yet, but played with my previous phones. What's the procedure like for the N4?

Either hold the power button for 1 to 2 seconds and select the silent icon.
or hold the lower volume button.
it will bring it to silent mode... this is there since the first android version. so nothing to do with versions =)

but i hold lower volumn down will turn to vibrare le. how to be silent? from power button can already.

Thinking this was manufacturer by LG and not Samsung. Not sure the quality on LG as not using LG phone before. Any comment ? Thanks

one thing I don't like is how weak the vibration of lg is compare to Samsung hardware. l'm not really a fan of amoled screen so display of lg screen is more to my preference.

Just got the phone on Saturday, it rocks!! Anyone know where to get a car dock/ holder?

Thanks in advance.

 

[hisoka??]

Agree. Vibration is quite weak. But the phone is loud compared to my previous HTC.

Silent is one after vibrate.

report back, 4.2.2 battery life increased significantly! usually i will get like 2hrs odd of screen time but this is the first time hit 3hrs odd with still 16% of battery left! nice improvement!

Just to emphasize, those with data connection issues and are on StarHub, go flash the 0.27 baseband. What happens in 0.33 and 0.48 is that the phone will switch from hsdpa8 to hsdpa15 before data transfer starts. This causes a lag. 0.27 on other hand commence data transfer even at hsdpa8.

Let me see if there is significant difference in batt consumption

For me .27 is very bad in my home area. Downstairs kopitiam constantly total signal loss. Going to try .48 now....

Surfing seems better in the past week for me. Now sure if it's due to telco or phone though.

nobody got mic issue ah? mic sensitivity...like in call the other party like u hear very soft, but by activating the loudspeaker mode, the mic sensitivity increases...


many complains about the mic issue on xda, due to the noise cancellation but here no ppl got this problem ah?

It's common sense that mic sensitivity increases in speaker mode....think about it.

So far nobody complain to me soft leh...maybe my voice too loud.

I flashed and tested .33, .48 and .27 radios and here are my results according to Speedtest's app. (Average score determined from 3 results)

Telco: Starhub

.33 Results
D/L: 11mbps U/L: 0.38mbps

.48 Results
D/L: 5.3mbps U/L: 0.38mbps

.27 Results
D/L: 8.6mbps U/L: 0.38mbps

Then again, this is all tested in the same location while sitting down.

 

[extr3mus]

anyone know the simplest way to re-flash 4.2.2?

Hi I am a noob. I can't search the whole threads so forgive me if the questions have been asked before. The nexus 4 is using micro sim? How do you all buy from the play store? I go to the website and click shop now and they say the product is not available in SG. And where do you all get the nexus 4 casings from? Sorry I'm noob. Your replies would be most appreciated.
