Enjoy!
Thanks.
They are cute to keep the notification LED on when photographing.
I'm anxiously waiting for Android Police's review.

I live in the US and I don't care for LTE. If you have to pay lots and lots of money for internet service on your phone, you wouldn't care. I am mostly on WIFI and many places where I live has Wifi hotspots. and HSPA+ gives me about 1MBps which is more than enough for my non-WiFi Connection.

Yeah, like wtf. So when Apple had glass on their phone for 2 years straight it wasn't a problem but a design of a sleek phone. Now when a Nexus has it, it's a problem because the moron dropped it? Really?
His giving the screen a score of 8, but giving the screen on the Optimus G a 9 seems a little odd.
Disappointing.
I'll probably just stick with my GS2 and wait for my free upgrade in April.
That was a pretty bad review.
The only thing I heard in the video review was: "It has no LTE, yada yada... So basically don't buy it because it DOES NOT HAVE LTE etc etc" The guy sounds like a complete moron only focusing on something idiotic like that.
What I also don't understand is that he gives the Optimus G screen a 9 and the Nex4 an 8. Aren't they identical!?

Yeah i kinda lol'd, i do agree it would suck a lot, especially given you can't easily replace it(but atleast probably both easier and cheaper than the iphone), but still, this didn't seem to be a very huge point with either the iPhone 4 or the 4s.
LG Nexus 4:
That glass covering is cause for concern, however. While testing the phone, I accidentally knocked the device off of my dining table and onto a hardwood floor... cracking the glass on the back. It's a small fracture, but had I just paid $300 for the device, I would be irate, and I'm not sure what LG or Google's policy is on replacement.

Maybe the screen is calibrated differently, or there are quality fluctuations between the screens.
Camera is better than expected, which was pretty much my only concern with this device. :good:
CRACK OMG I am going to get an otter box for this phone.
I read the whole thing, and its a crap review - so don't bother,
I constantly got the feeling that because this retard broke the back of his phone, it now 'breaks easily' and the fact of no LTE is a big no-no for this guy, so I got the feeling throughout the whole review, that he preferred other devices because of these 2 things.
Even stating its the fastest phone hes used, with super battery etc - the tone of the review all led back to his own stupidity of dropping it on a hard floor and the lack of LTE.
To Verge:
LTE is not the norm AT ALL!
UK has one network only offering it, and its only in selected cities - LTE also gives very little performance increase for browsing (only downloading)
This guy speaks like a typical American, sorry. (Generic)
He's arrogant enough to think America has it, so assumes everyone else has (or doesn't care that nobody else has it,but because he can get it and wants it - then it should have it or its crap), and because he wants to load websites a second longer and boast of speed test results, doesn't mean everyone is willing to double their monthly costs for LTE when most people use internet for just browsing, not to mention the crazy data caps, high battery drain etc that LTE brings - it also slows down software updates!
Im glad the review cleared up super performance & battery - but the rest just stunk of bitterness for his own stupidity.

I'm not sure what to make of it lol.
In his unscientific battery life test he says it's good, but according to Anandtech and Engadget battery life is slightly better than the Galaxy Nexus but worse than the Optimus G.
guys read endgadget review and forgot about the verge **** one : http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/02/nexus-4-review/
I am currently running a Galaxy S3 and am considering this phone or the Optimus G .. 4.2 looks incredible, not sure how long it would take LG to update their flagship phone to the current software. Since they built the Nexus 4 you would think that they would have a head start.

Thanks,
This panel is one of the best you can get right now, and is on par with the 720p displays we've played with on the One X and Samsung Galaxy S III. It ranks in between those two competitors when it comes to color saturation. The darks are as dark as you'll see on the One X (but less than the GS3), and the whites are brighter than on either rival phone. We also noticed that the Nexus shows off the darkest reds and magentas, as well as the lightest greens and yellows. As a result, your viewing experience may differ slightly from other 720p displays, but we've been very pleased with what we've seen on the Nexus 4.

Thats more like it, it should be similar to ONE X but of course, different colour reproductions always differ from screens, this is neither a good, or bad thing - some colours will look better than one x, whilst others will look better on one x - but a review saying on-par, is what we all expected - certainly the opposite of what verge said.

here's a thread where NEXUS owners on XDA can gather to hang out and chat about anything (up to the mod's discretion, of course)
talk about what you did with your device, new and upcoming gadgets, technology rumours, random dev/theme/mod stuff, your day at work, your new car, or even that barbershop you just got a haircut from.
want to ask a question or share a thought but don't think it needs its own thread? post it in here
so sit back, grab a coffee (or beer), and post your random thoughts

I was one of the people who blew off the S4 as an unimaginative incremental upgrade that would sell like hotcakes to fanboys. Words I find ironic now holding the S4 in my hand. I think the turning point for me came when I was watching a Netflix movie on my HTC one. It was a dark room and the light from my One was entirely too bright so I tapped the screen and pulled down the notification bar to quickly change the brightness...No brightness adjustment. Just a check-box to activate Power Save Mode. So to adjust the brightness I hit the setting button, went into display, and made the change. Reopening the Netflix app, I re-clicked on the movie, it buffered and continued where I left off. Now it was a little too dark...Rinse and repeat. This was about as unintuitive as it gets. I realized at this point I was missing some pretty fundamental options I had grown accustomed to coming from the Galaxy S3. Quick settings aside, the lack of a menu button was becoming more and more of an issue as well. With larger screens it is an annoyance to continually have to reach to the top of a screen to pull down the notification shade and then tap settings in the far upper right, or when in an app to have a quarter inch of my nice 1080p HD display go missing so I can see three small dots indicating click here for Menu. I did my best to enjoy the time I had left with my trophy wife of a phone. But, upon receiving the S4 I was pleasantly surprised, I actually loved the design. It just feels good in the hand. I can honestly say at the end of the day I prefer Samsung's understated design over that of the HTC One. The build feels seamless and is light and thin. The S4 for all it's cheapness in material was a solidly built uniform device. Armed with Quick access to all of of my settings AND a Menu button I finally feel at home. I love the S4. For me it's like not having to give up the S3 I loved while gaining a boost in performance and screen.
In the end this is more of a comparative review between the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4, but since that is the question most android buyers will be facing until the next great phone is announced - Here's my $.02 worth. Guess I'm officialy a fanboy now.

This is my first smartphone. . ever! Ok, I have a nexus 7, but that is different. Needless to say, I'm completely in love with this s4. I was seriously considering the one, but I'm more than happy with this. Honestly, you really can't lose with either device. .
Cool story bro, but a lot of the stuff you described as not liking are already corrected with simple flashing of mods.

Agreed. Only issue being a store can completely refuse to even look at your HTC One if you dev unlocked it. So thats a little bit of a risk(especially since I had to return my first one after the bottom speaker stopped working) But as with any phone it will come down to each persons individual wants and needs. The S4 fits that bill better for me.

I swear if I was gonna do a write up (because I also came from the HTC One) this would be almost EXACTLY what I would of said!!!
I've always had issues with HTC devices over time. My GS2 lasted the full 2 years of my contract without feeling horribly outdated. The ONLY thing I liked about the One was the front speakers, but the GS4 overpowers it in every other category. Was a no brainer for me

Thanks. I was surprised no tech sites really talk about these issues. I think deep down they are all just really rooting for the underdog last ditch effort (albeit a good one) that HTC has thrown out to compete with the S4.
I just couldn't live with the lower contrast ratio of the htc one

That's an OK workaround although you have to have a persistent notification in the corner and the GPS toggle isn't a toggle but a shortcut unless you put that as a system app
I love this thread because I too switched my phone from an HTC one.
I got it from HTC just had to trade in my phone (I work at a sprint store) and it really grew on me to the point where i loved it. That screen is amazing and I didn't worry about the menu bar cuz I rooted the phone anyway.
I couldn't get away from the non removable battery though. Have had pretty much every Samsung galaxy and nexus on sprint and I got used to the convenience of carrying a spare battery
So I traded it for this and I love that I feel like I never really gave away my s3. I just upgraded the hardware. This camera is just ridiculous also

I had the note 2 since it's release date and with much lower PPI I never once noticed any stuck or dead pixels. After using this phone for only 2 days I began to notice these. I could deal with it if there were just a few of them but this is crazy.

Yes but if you get another phone there's no guarantee that there wont be more of less dead pixels. It's a crap shoot.

Screw Getting it replaced.All HTC Ones have turned to s*** because 1 phone is loaded with dead pixels...You were looking for a reason to hate it to be honest with you.

I know that most of you don't venture too far from xda, but if you did you would realize this problem is very widespread. One guy went through four of them at the store and found several dead pixels on every single one of them. To all of you that say your screen has none, look closer because I highly doubt that. HTC's biggest failure has always been quality control, and the One is no exception. I decided to give them a chance again after using Samsung phones for the past 3 years, and I have to say I'm extremely disappointed. I'm not going to waste my time swapping out phones over and over, when I could just exchange it for a phone company, that from my personal experience, doesn't exhibit such severe defects.
It's not widespread, I've got 2 HTC ones and both have zero dead pixels.
With a device there are millions of in the world you have to expect a few lemons . If you found 50 people with dead pixels on their LCD you're still not "widespread".

I had a dead pixel on my first HTC one went and exchanged it no problem. I haven't had an issue with my phone ever since. I'm with every one else you are just looking for a reason to switch.

Actually they look to be stuck on a color! there are programs you can run to fix that and if it persists i would exchange it. The S4 is NOT a better phone take a few to look at the reviews, lag , cheap quality etc just lets all calm down.

You really don't get the concept of reporter bias, do you? The population of people who post on forums tend to be the most vocal in their complaints. HTC has sold millions of these phones, and you're going to claim "this problem is very widespread" based on a skewed sample? Please go take some statistics classes.
By that token, I shouldn't have gotten my Galaxy Nexus, my Nexus 10, my Nexus 7, my Transformer TF300T, my iPad 3, my Galaxy Tab 10.1, or my HP TouchPad. Or even my Galaxy Player 4.0.

Went to the Sprint store and with the manager went through 4 NIB HTC One's. All of them had at least 4 stuck pixels, the worst one had over 10. Had him grab me an S4, and as expected, not a single stuck or dead pixel. I, like many, thought the One was going to be the phone that would bring HTC back into the game, but unfortunately that is not the case. You all go ahead and keep defending your purchase, but I can guarantee if you look close enough there are some stuck pixels on your screen. I am now the proud owner of a new Samsung Galaxy S4, and while the speaker quality may not be as good, it's still better than a screen that looks like the Milky Way Galaxy. I don't need statistics classes to tell me the display on that phone is a POS.
Took me three tries to get an decent HTC one. And even then I had to settle with some gaps because I didn't want to risk dead pixels.
I agree with the quality control issues.

I'd say trolling, but you're really just a joke at this point. You can guarantee that my phone has issues? You've crossed from being an angry buyer to outright silly. Color cycling my screen shows no dead pixels. I've actually never had any dead pixels of any kind, on any device I've own-- maybe it's because I take care of my device?
It's comical how fast you run from accepted statistical practice. After all, if your evidence is terrible, why try to play the game with facts?

Grab yourself a magnifying class, you will be amazed by what you find!
I did a bench mark using antutu and when I was buying this phone I could have went with the One X. But I didn't and now I'm glad.not only do I get better battery life but checkout the bench mark test.!

what did you overclock to?
Antutu gives a combined score. While our devices may score overall close to one x, nexus 4, and s3 it scores differently in categories. Basically htc first scores mediocre at cpu, ram and flash tests but makes up for it in graphics tests. Such comparison is inherently biased because it depends on how antutu weighs the separate tests. Bottom line is that you should not expect htc first to be better running anything that is not graphically intensive, meaning its not quite as good for everyday apps.
I do own a one x which I will be selling off soon. I like the ergonomics and form factor of the first much better and the lower performance does not bother me
Having diassembled htc first I do not recommend overclocking it. The board is very small (compared to others) and components are tightly packed so there is no adequate pcb surface area for heat dissipation. There is no heatsink and the plastic shell of the phone does not help dissipate heat. One mini will perhaps be better at that.

Yes I noticed brief and almost unoticablr lag in my launcher. And yes I know how antutu works. But each phone has its strengths you know.

Damn, pretty impressive. Do you have a standalone power amp connected to the phone along with 4 more external cores attached inside a refrigerator?

I've actually tried doing something like that to some extent. When 2 years ago when I tried adding a Samsung galaxy s 2 camera to my $200 prepaid 800mhz phone without a GPU lol I figured since they both used the same adaptors and the camera was a standalone hardware component it'd be easy even though the camera one the s2 was bigger I could just make a cut out on my cheap phone. But as many phone's specs & performance it was allot better on paper

i think the most probable thing to do with a phone as far as hardware modding would be either ram or rom expansion? cause those are standalone chipsets and components. while cpu is like welded (saudered) onto a other chip
Here you go. First vs One!

No. Both RAM and onboard flash are soldered onto the board via BGA mounting on all current phones. Without a vacuum rig, a reflow oven and a bucketload of lucky paws you should just forget about it.

Darn it. Why can't they make a smartphone at least "like" a PC. So that no matter what, you can install anything and change hardware. I think that's what that "block" phone or Lego phone did or what ever its called

There are a couple concepts out right now in progress. The bigger one of the two is called Project Ara by Motorola. The other is called Phonebloks.

I know if project Ara but I feel as if we would have to say goodbye to developing if that suddenly took off

Yep, phone blocks thats what i meant. cool consept, but will be quite hard to actualy make effective, i mean to make a phone 1. be durable using that system would be hard, it could just fall apart. 2. the screen is ONE piece, meaning how is that a block? 3. The blocks will be quite thick i think there for my htc first would be like what 11mm thick minimum? and so on.
GREAT concept though, nothing against it. Personally the best concept out there at the moment is the Jolla Sailfish phone.
EDIT. just looked up project ara, the whole idea of a modular phone is Feasible, but it wouldn't actually work. Reason? well, remember when android came out, and then about at the point of android 2.2 foyo with the droid X, the whole "android" thing was counted as a big joke. although by us tech geeks who are actually interested in how technology works, advances and so on, its easy, the better choice is the Droid X. But for 90 percent of people it was still the iphone, and still is for a big chunk of the world. what has happened is that apple stopped making a big deal out of the whole "android copied us" thing. So now, androids are still NOT appealing to people who are NOT interested in any way in technology, therefore number one choice would be an iPhone. now for us tech geeks, its easy to go and move on to project ara or phone blocks, cause we like doing that, getting something cooler and better and so on. But now that people have finally figured out android and its versions and manufacturers and have "settled down", for them to acquire more knowledge about processors and ram and cameras and screens and ppi and so on, is too much work (um...no more like 10 minutes worth of research on Google) but people will be to lazy to actually take interest cause its "too complicated" like all my fellow iphone lovers say. Seriously have you ever talked to a hardcore apple fan who has never even SEEN an android like the htc one let alone touched it and used it? YOU CANT talk to them, they just wont listen. no imagine telling them about phone blocks! they will say...cool...and thats it, they will be to lazy and to arrogant to drop what they have now and move on.
so will it work? um, maybe. it would be like Microsoft holding a few percent of marketshare. and as for popularity...once people get into "using their own heads"...they will give up. so it will work practicaly, but in the real world...it wont work WELL
well, all i can say is hail progress, technology, and android :/
But we will be able to have fun trying to see who can get the best benchmark score! hahaha

Quick point, Android currently has most of the market share. I believe it's 52%? While apple is at like 25?
Ara is closer to completion, though this is only the first version. Also remember Google owns Motorola lol.
