The Nexus 4 Thread

[enfant]

Hi, is there a way to toggle language on JB 4.2.2 keyboard?

when in keyboard mode, slide down the screen from top will give u language input options. mine came with korean and chinese.

Hi guys. I'm interested in getting the N4 but unsure about the battery life. Can it last a day with moderate usage of web surfing and whatsapp? Currently using note 1 so would be nice if the battery life is better than my note.

note 1 is dual core and has a battery capacity of 2500mah. n4 is quad core with 2100mah. if just comparing battery life alone, note is definitely better.

have to see the apps used in the background too and samsung has lots of these. vanilla android not much running in the background so batt life is quite reasonable imo

But You just got your n4 how you gauge the battery life so fast? Haha anyone here using their n4 for web browsing mainly only? May I know what's the screen on time?

with web browsing and whatsapp, I'm getting 5+ hours sot on 3g, 6+ hours on wifi in 1 full day. playing games will get 4+ hours. but that's with custom kernel.

Wow this is impressive given the low battery capacity. What about for stock kernel I'm wondering?

 

[piaget]

hello anyone can intro any mod/kernels?

only criteria = good battery + solve N4 overheating issue

Thanks!

just googled that ROMs have minimal effect on battery, most of the time its the kernels that does the magic.

Hi

Franco kernel will solve poor battery life and over heating issue. Just google for more info.

that bad? lol

note 1 is dual core and has a battery capacity of 2500mah. n4 is quad core with 2100mah. if just comparing battery life alone, note is definitely better.

but after updating my note 1 to jb, battery life seems worse. if can get similar battery life then i'm satisfied with it.

I can't even watch a 720p movie for more than 20mins before the whole phone overheats. And battery life goes down by 20-30%.

Lucky I got my N7. So my N4 is now purely for normal usage.

 

[ineser]

Well I can watch two 20mins 720p show and the battery drain is quite bad, average 1% = 1min. So after two shows, 40% battery gone

Just flashed franco's kernel.

Noob question: where do I access the settings? From what I'm gathering so far is that I'll have to purchase his app on the Play Store? Any other alternatives?

Not sure how long you get out of your note, but the rough gauge for the nexus 4 is that it will get around 4h 30m screen time.........................................

but its took < 1 mth to reach here.

 

[lamezy23]

No.................................................

Hmm but is the app necessary to get the change from stock-franco or are the changes already there (but that I can't tinker with more settings)?

Thanks

Something about the phone seems to interfere with other NFC devices such as EZ-Link card. If I hold my EZ-Link card next to my phone and try to tap it at a gantry it doesn't work. Does anyone know why?

NFC and Android Beam are already disabled in Android settings.
