"Washed out" colors have been fixed

So I just got a second nexus 4 in the mail today...but this one came from T-Mobile ...got it for free with the special they had...
But the first thing I noticed when I turned it on ...the colors were very nice. They are no where near as bad as when i got my first nexus 4 directly from Google...
And another surprise to me was there was no T-Mobile crap loaded on it even tho one of the reps told me there was going to be ...

I just got my N4, the colors are vibrant and beautiful. You might think that I just don't know what I'm talking about, and but I own devices with washed out displays. My Nexus 7 is one of them.

Got mine today and it looks really good. Almost no bleed at full brightness all black.
Mines a rev 11. (From Google)

could someone type this in the terminal on the n4 -> su (press enter) -> dmesg | grep lcd
but you must reboot before doing this.
it should put out a line where it says lcd_id: primary or so. could someone post whats stays there like primary?

All Nexus 4's will be pure Google phones. No aftermarket bloatware will be found in a N4 from Google or N4 from T-Mobile. :good:

Looks like you missed out typing 'su <enter>' before typing the dmesg command.

so apparently the terminal on my phone wasnt giving me root access... got it to work though

I bet you are used to Samsung Smiled displays..
My nexus 7 looks amazing.. Not washed out at all.

A sudden fix is not likely but not impossible. Would one of you please go to
Settings/About Phone, scroll to the bottom and take a screenshot (power button and vol-)?
I'm interested in the Kernel Version and Build Date.
I wonder if they are different than the ones of the latest 4.2.2 release.

The highlight of my day was when my life long Apple user borrowed my phone to check a sports score and said man this this feels so sexy and is fast as hell. The screen is nice. In using trinity and custom gamma.

Hi
After going back to stock 4.2.2 using the factory images and clearing everything before installing the images I noticed the LCD colours have changed completely. The more washed out look I was used to is replaced by a much richer display, matching the HTC One X now, although not quite as overly saturated as the One X which is a bit too saturated.
My phone is from November and I was very familiar with the more washed out look, and I just assumed it was fixed in 4.2.2 that I see now.
Perhaps the new settings can only be picked by a complete wipe and install, hence phones shipping with 4.2.2 look better as they are a clean install, whereas maybe an OTA isn't changing the calibration settings.
Regards
Phil

Kind off topic , but im thinking about ourchasing from the play store and continuing using tmobile. Will the insurance and warranty work the same as if in had purchased from them directly? I jist dont want to overspend If I dont have to.

Cm7 WiFi issue?

I recently upgraded to a nexus 7 so I passed the nook color onto my girl so she could use it for a PDF reader for her knitting patterns, its running the newest stable release is cm7 and it doesn't pick up our WiFi in the living room, it always says out of range, even though our phones(galaxy s 2 and 3) and the nexus 7 all pick up the WiFi signal with at least 2 or 3 bars, is this a know issue maybe driver related or is there anything I can do short of moving my router and hoping for the best?

Have you tried forgetting the network and then logging back in? That seems to help a lot of WiFi issues.

Nexus 4 Israel Thread

Hi all,
This type of thread exists for other places so why not for here
Sure the Nexus 4 is not officially sold (by Google at least) in Israel but it is the type of phone that is sought after abroad because that type of thing happens with Nexus devices. So lets have random (but not too random) taking about using n4 in Israel etc.
How did anyone else get their n4?
Well I am not in Israel all the time but I got my Nexus bought by a friend in UK and shipped to me in Ireland. I use Golan telecom and signal had been great.

i've bought a nexus 4 yesterday really enjoying it im from israel too i got the 8GB for 1770 shekels

Just received my N4 yesterday, from a shop called Dor Mobile. It arrived a week after my order was placed, which included Saturday and Independence day, so I am very satisfied with my purchase.
The phone is 302K, the new type with the nubs on the bottom.

Nice to see some fellow Israelis around here! Shalom lecoolam!
I got mine in December, a friend brought it and a bumper over from the US. Switched from a GS3, and absolutely loving the N4, my setup is described in my signature.

Hi everyone, I got my Nexus 4 about a week ago from a store called Mobile Gadget located in Tel-Aviv. Loving it so far.

Oh great, some replied! Na'im me'od! I was not sure if anyone had a n4

Not living in Israel, but Israeli living in the US.... I don't know if this counts . Anyway nice to see a Israeli place here.
I got my N4 2 weeks ago through T-Mobile. My workplace boos bought it for me, after using a cricket Huawei Ascend for 2 years, he said I need an upgrade... I didn't complain about ... I've been using Android tablets since the Viewsonic Gtablet, Ace Iconia 500 and my last one was a Pantech Element. All rooted and modify by me.

Hey, Shabat Shalom to everyone.
I ordered my mako from the Play Store and then when I flew to America, I picked up my Nexus from the mail and brought it back home .
I received my N4 in around January 20.
I use it with 012 Mobile.

For me, I got root when I installed cyanogenmod, but it does not necessarily need that. But as far as I can tell (I helped a friend root etc recently), you need custom recovery which needs an unlocked bootloader. That's fine really, but unlocking bootloader wipes the device - apparently a Google security measure to keep personal info safe but its a pain if you have used your phone for a bit.
But I can do a mini guide here later cause the process is pretty easy. But as summary it is:
1) Get Google sdk and use it to download platform tools and driver
2) Backup data
3) Unlock bootloader
4) Flash custom recovery
5) Download Super SU from play
6) Get Super SU to install root and busy box from recovery
Oh and I guess you could find a toolkit to automate it.
For the Hebrew, I have been using swift key. It's pretty good. Hebrew is a bit work in progress but improves. Occasionally have problems detecting ה- ל- ב- etc at the beginning of words but generally has good swipe typing (they call it flow typing, if you are looking to activate). You can always try out the trial for a few weeks. It's the full version but with a time limit of 30 days or something.
Edit: never tried it but I guess this might work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1995688

white n4 looks pretty sick, what features do you guys think 4.3 as well as 5.0 will bring?

Hmmm, looking at the pic i can't see the nipple by the speaker that black version received... I guess sound travels better through white? Excited about new version of android. I am still holding hope for 32 GBs with LTE.

When infront youll see huge black square, one dot at the bottom and 3 dots at top

My guess is that since no new android version wasn't announced. There won't be any new features per say. My guess is well get 4.2.3 with bug fixes and the new Bluetooth stuff. I can't imagine anything more than that

You are correct sir. I am just blind. It's only a matter of time before it comes. I will gladly pay $400-$450 for 32 GBs and LTE.

Well, 4.3 is rolling out in the next month or two. I think that is pretty clear based on all the leaks (and server logs). It will probably be mostly under the hood changes but I'm sure there will be some minor UI changes as well.

LTE would be nice and I'm good with 8GB. Unlimited data helps tons I'm down to maybe 3gbs (apps, a backup, ROM backup)...so lte would be perfect. oh well...hopefully the N5 will be my perfect device.

OP, please use the thread already in place regarding this same topic >>>Here. Thanks

New batches being shipped (build #311k)

So I actually posted this in the RMA thread but it just got lost in all the posts. Plus I can't find it posted anywhere else.
First two phones I had were 310k, both had faults and had to download the patch before using the phone.
My third phone is 311k, no faults and it came with KitKat preinstalled (no patch to download)
To check what build (batch) you have, look on your box where it shows the model #, imei # etc and look for S/N. The first 4 characters = build #.
I'm going to try and keep a log of all the build numbers and see if there are any changes to the phone like with the Nexus 4.
So.. so far:
310k - Need to install KitKat - Seems to have quality issues from my experience
311k - Preinstalled KitKat - Quality control seems better
This is just based off of three phones though. More information is needed.

Mine downloaded the update at first boot, i don't have the box here right now, but i will report the build version tomorrow
Edit:
ye version 310k here too, lets see what the rma one will be, it should be here next week

yep mine says 310k and mine updated when i turned it on.. kitkat was NOT pre installed

When mine came in the mail November 15th it already had the update patched on it straight out of the box so i guess I had the second batch. Mine is 310K

Mines 310k had to update to kit kat

Did you have to install a patch before using your phone? If so its a 310k build.

Yes I had to install the 128 mb patch when the phone first turned on.

I have an 311K (just got it today) and while it has LTE (unlike my 310), the vibration motor now sounds like a laser beam...? :crying:

I got a 311K yesterday - no update was needed.
- The camera is slow
- Vibration is weaker than my Galaxy Nexus, but still noticeable when it rings in my pocket
- The speaker seems pretty loud to me. I can feel it vibrate a bit when I play music

310k, everything seems to be good

Technically, they all come with "Key Lime Pie" preinstalled (an early build of 4.4). They're patched to KitKat right after startup.
