How to change? Thanks...

Try build.prop editor from play store..find ro.sf.lcd_density..change the 320 value to 300 or 280...or according to you

P.s. if that doesn't work... Use root explorer..go to system...longpress build.prop...open in text editor...find the ro.sf.lcd_density...change the value...then save...reboot you phone

My Nexus 4 is almost a year old and overseas set. The on/off button sometimes work and at other times, must press a few times to activate. Thinking of sending for repair. Has anyone repaired their set from those neighbourhood phone repair shops?

Buy power button switch / power side button from ebay (Total S$20/-)

Go through the guide to open the device from ifixit

Replace & njoy !

LG service does not provide free warranty repair for overseas set.

 

[Yangsheng]

Thanks for the suggestion, but not technical enough to do this. Any one?

I've read somewhere that LG charges $50 for replacement of power button. And it's a fast process. Go there->they do on the spot->return your phone.

On the same thread, someone reported paying SGD$51 to get the power button fixed by LG Singapore.. Not that bad..if you want a proper repair without going through the hazard of opening the unit up .

I have 2 set of Nexus 4, one set used by wifey is having this power button issue..however we have moved on to Nexus 5, hesitating to repair it or not.. The Nexus 4 is a good phone serving us well on many aspect except the Camera which is really disappointed, from Android 4.3 onwards, the photo taking always go to wrong orientation ( taking it from Landscape,picture output is Portrait)..Also the autofocus is suck to the core...I rather want the Galaxy Nexus lower resolution but the zero lag shutter is fantastic.

Galaxy Nexus=> Could take pictures of moving F1 car...with fix focus trick..keep pressing the shutter button taking sharp photos..

Nexus 4=> Take the same moving F1 car..only catch the head or tail..never the full car in picture... People with energetic kids will hate this phone..


Nexus 5- Auto Wide balance is out...taking picture under CCF lighting yields pale output..
