Nexus 4 : The deep dive reviews

Not sure if this is allowed but, having a thread for all the interesting reviews will help.
This is probably the most praising device review I have seen on the web so far.

I have about three pounds of dust accumulating on my Galaxy S3 in the gap between the casing and the glass. I see the LG Nexus 4 also has a similar gap. As do most devices, really, but this Sammy is sure a dust magnet. Here's hoping the LG will NOT be like the Samsung in that regard.

I read somewhere that the nexus 4 uses the Zero-Gap Technology, which practically leaves no space between the screen and the touch panel..?

I think you're talking about something a bit different. I believe, correct me if I'm wrong, that matt310 was referencing the gap between the front glass and the side edging on the outside of the device.

That's how I read it, too; frankly, I think it would be pretty hard from any of the N4 release photos that would reveal distance between the display & glass.

First use of Zerogap Touch for Real Touch
It’s nice to be part of a conglomerate. Working with its vertically-integrated sister companies, LG incorporated the industry-first Zerogap Touch technology into the Optimus G.
As the first smartphone with the Zerogap Touch, the Optimus G boasts a cover glass that’s different from typical touch screen cover glass. While the others are typically topped with ITO film or a glass sensor, the Zerogap Touch has an ITO sensor film printed directly on the glass, removing the air gap that is normally trapped between the two elements.

Wait, you exhibit poor reading skills yourself, then chide another for the same? It wasn't nonsense at all, clearly on-topic. Nobody can stay abreast of the latest at this neck-breaking pace.
That said, this phone will have at least one less area in which dust can congregate. Yay!

Hmmm I just don't understand the glass back design...? Everybody have laughed at the iPhone 4 and 4s design which broke almost just by looking at it - or at least when dropped from little height. And now Google - as I see it - makes the same mistake!
Beautiful yes! Wise NO! ( or what do you think?)

The difference is the plastic has a lip over the glass so if you were to drop the phone on it's corner The glass itself wouldn't make contact. However I could be misinformed.
It'll be interesting to see drop tests of this device, though. I do love drop tests.
EDIT: I must agree with you, though. The glass back wasn't very wise... :/

That's a good deal bro. imo you should return your GNII and buy the N4 first. Then wait the the 3G/4G version of N10. It will be better thought.

Glass back doesn't bother me. I just won't drop the phone

[Q] Uprade regular S3 to LTE S3?

I bricked my phone and it seems that the fix is replacing the motherboard. Since it seems I may be going down that road I was just wondering if it would be possible to upgrade my regular S3 to an LTE S3? What parts would I need and where to source them?
(I know this sounds silly but Im a big car guy and whenever you blow your stock engine its an excuse to get a bigger one hehe, Im just thinking if this is the same with the S3 having a "better" version)
Flame away if this isnt possible

AW: [Q] Uprade regular S3 to LTE S3?
I think it is possible. But when you change to i9305 you will loose the possibilities of using different and official CM roms or other AOSP roms. Most of the custom firmwares available for i9305 are Samsung based.

The OP meant exchanging the motherboard with one from the i9305.
It's possible provided the setup is the same and the screw locations are the same.

You're not wrong in your assumption. But I think the biggest problem would be fitting it in the case, in order to make phones as thin as the Galaxy S3, enormous efforts go into making sure the motherboard *just* fits in, and assuming the non-LTE models motherboard is exactly the same shape as the LTE model is a little silly in my opinion. In all honesty I think OP would be better off just not buying a new motherboard and instead just buying a new phone. The Nexus 4 comes to mind... yeah you heard me! Flame away!

This is exactly what I meant, you won't be able to fit i9305 motherboard in i9300 casing, simple as that. There's only one cheaper solution, buy i9305 with broken screen and swap it.
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda app-developers app

If you're thinking of literally removing a faulty SoC off your I9300 board and replacing it with the I9305 equivalent:
No. Don't do it. That's the worst idea I've heard in years.
If you're thinking of using an I9305 motherboard as a replacement for your I9300 board:
I started writing a very long post here about why you can't use most of the I9300 internals, but honestly it's neither interesting nor worth the bother to type.
In short, here is a list of things you can use from the I9300:
-Cameras.
-Battery.
-The rear outer plastic case,
-Volume/power switches.
-Proximity sensor.
-Vibration motor.
-Screws, gaskets, etc.
-Assorted minor components which didn't spring to mind.
You can't use the frame, or the antenna. You might be able to re-use the display, screen, and touchscreen controller; but have fun trying to remove the former two from the frame without damaging them or rendering them unusable. Heat guns are out, for a start.
Compared to buying a new I9305, you won't save much money, if any, and it might conceivably cost more to get all these things separately. It would also take you a lot of time, which carries its own cost.
Believe it or not, portable electronic devices bear little resemblance to cars.

Screw assignments and everything else are exactly the same.

You realize the dimensions are exactly the same, right? Instead of just saying that it won't work why don't you show me proof. Everyone is so quick to jump to conclusions but not one person in this thread said "I tried it and it doesn't work." The pictures tell me it that it is possible. Sorry to be a **** but nobody in this thread seems to be speaking from experience, myself included, you're just guessing that it won't work. Why flame me when you don't really know the answer?

Dude, you're annoying now. I've got 15yrs experience as mobile phones maintainer and I know what I'm saying. It's not about size and screws only ffs!! Motherboard is double sided, Hardware needs drivers and specially designed for each component room in chassis. No room for error, all connectors must be in exactly same place otherwise you can screw it together and stick it in..... Have a fun and good luck.
I'm done here

It will work I think if your replacing the board which has the soc, ram and so forth.
The only think that seperates the two is the main board which contains these parts.
But I think you should try it and if anything u prove it and if not well, buy one and said you did!!!

I don't think you realize how similar the i9300 and i9305 are, lol. They are literally the same except the chips on the motherboard. Oh well. Until someone tries it there is no point in throwing your 15 years of experience into the mix. It's always nice to meet someone who thinks they're better than everyone else and rude. It's just a forum, lighten up and try not to be so mean. Have a nice weekend.

I thanked you for being cleaver enough to know that it would be idiotic to try... Or was that not your point?
As you would never use an antenna made for one frequency to pick up another frequency. But I guess you already knew that.

Could you explain further? I thought the frequencies were integrated into the modem and not the actual antenna.

I'm pretty sure you just can't switch the motherboards and everything works fine.

Light bleed

Before all the angry people kick off, this is not just another "problem thread".
Reading through forum I realised that a lot of people won't notice light bleed of they put their phone down when booting as background on KK is grayish. I've seen a few people ask how they check for light bleed. I'm also curious how bad it gets.
Now, before you do it, please keep in mind once it's seen, it can't be unseen, don't blame me for that, I gave you a fair warning and if you didn't read it or ignored it, you suck

Ignore everything but top left corner (2 points) on this pic as this is simply due to the angle. It appears like light bleed, but it's so minor, it's barely visible in reality. Top left corner though is very prominent.

Let's put it this way, if next one is perfect, I'm keeping it. This device only has that one issue. Most of the time I don't see it, but I KNOW it's there. So, if replacement is not perfect, I'm keeping my my first one... Probably...

I can "live" with things.. Heck, I did with ipad and a few other things.
However display on this device is supposed to be sealed AFAIK. Light bleed like that shows its not, which is an inherited hardware fault. Another reason for this thread is to see if majority of devices is like that and looking for a perfect one is like looking for a needle in a hay stack. Which is obviously not worth the hassle.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Do you think this problem will be solved when they will release the next batch?

Look, @undercover , nothing against you personally, I actually enjoy most of your posts, but if you put any device under a microscope, you'll find issues. If slight light bleed visible only during the boot process while in a pitch-black room is the only issue with my phone, I'd consider myself lucky and move on.
I guess what I'm saying is, every device deserves a little margin of error. Every single unit off of the assembly line can't be perfect, and a unit with only the aforementioned light bleed should probably be considered slightly-less-than-perfect-but-acceptable, in my humble opinion.

No bleed here. Goooood!

I guess I'm lucky. I only have light bleed on lower bottom corner and its not even bad. Just BARELY.
Its very very little.

With all due respect this thread is not to discuss what is acceptable error margin to a person.
To simplify, here's the bleed, how much worse/better/same it gets and on how many devices. Everything is relative so I'm trying to work out just HOW relative it is. That's all. I'm not slagging LG, Google, users, nor am I saying every user should return his unit because of certain amount of light bleed. Most of the threads I started are either help threads (passed on to other people now) or analysis of this or the other.

Farewell all

Just posting a farewell thread folks, ordered a white Nexus 5 32gb 399.99 from Google Play on Friday it got here today, Monday. I activated it over the phone with Sprint in under 5 minutes and threw the sim card from HTC one into the Nexus 5. Boom, instantly works beautifully. I am getting LTE so much more then I got with the HTC one I am barely ever on 3g anymore! Also everyone used to complain to me about call quality on the One, this problem is now gone no one complains anymore. The only thing I miss are the speakers, everything else is better in every way. I use a portable 30 ish dollar bluetooth speaker every once and a while when I care enough to grab it. Snapdragon 800 is amazing and the 8mp camera is better then htc 4mp "ultrapixel" bogus. The HTC one was nice for a while but this phone is an upgrade for me. Going to go sell my HTC one on craigslist or ebay for 350 now. Goodbye everyone! try to enjoy your htc ones!

Toodles

Aren't threads like this not allowed?

Try to enjoy our ones? You sound like you're on Samsung's jock. I love my One. I acknowledge the camera issues but its smooth, sounds great and it has the UI of any android phone.

Just posting a farewell thread folks, ordered a white Nexus 5 32gb 399.99 from Google Play on Friday it got here today, Monday. I activated it over the phone with Sprint in under 5 minutes and threw the sim card from HTC one into the Nexus 5. Boom, instantly works beautifully. I am getting LTE so much more then I got with the HTC one I am barely ever on 3g anymore! Also everyone used to complain to me about call quality on the One, this problem is now gone no one complains anymore. The only thing I miss are the speakers, everything else is better in every way. I use a portable 30 ish dollar bluetooth speaker every once and a while when I care enough to grab it. Snapdragon 800 is amazing and the 8mp camera is better then htc 4mp "ultrapixel" bogus. The HTC one was nice for a while but this phone is an upgrade for me. Going to go sell my HTC one on craigslist or ebay for 350 now. Goodbye everyone! try to enjoy your htc ones!

Lol. Why are you posting a farewell? Honestly, unless you're a developer, I doubt anyone really cares... I switched to the Nexus 5 as well, and agree with you on pretty much everything. I just don't see a reason to tell everyone about it because I don't develop or theme or anything so it hardly matters. I'm still keeping my One anyway, just in case...

Its like were supposed to get upset and beg for him to stay with the One or something.

Dear nobody,
Everyone, including your own mother, couldn't possibly care any less than we do.
Your friends,
No one is your friend.
P.S. If you hasn't of said anything no one would have notice that you left. Now we just don't like you, so was it worth it?

My son writes like that. He's 7. He is learning to use punctuation, and grammar as we converse (not to mention the space bar). Game away

Life will never be the same ever again. Like a cold sore you've grown an emotional connection with for some twisted reason.
Farewell, Sprint HTC One Forum's face herpe. Farewell

Post goodbyes in the OT thread please....

Sprint Is Onto Us (Only Logical Explanation)

Ok guys, I'm an avid tether user. I've been tethering my ass off since I'm blanketed in LTE, but as of late I've run into a problem. I noticed on Ecliptic Sense 5.5 that while tethering, the data connection would drop constantly. I was on OMJ Sense 5.5 before and it didn't used to happen. I thought it was just an Ecliptic Rom error so I clean flashed OMJ Sense 5.5 only to notice tbd issue is now there! Someone then said that ports are known to do this so I decided to flash Tranquil 4.3 only to notice... THE ISSUE IS THERE ALSO! I think Sprint is doing this as a preventive measure to prevent tethering. They already blocked WiFi tether somehow and have now sniffed out our script for native tether. Can someone smarter than me (@FrozenRiff) hopefully elaborate on this?
I need to kill some people in GTA V really bad right now!

My tethering works just fine, but I don't abuse it like so many people do.If your using it to tether a console, then get a wired connection. Who would want to tether a console or rely on it for primary internet?

Why not? We've taken Sprint bull**** service for years! I'm blanketed in LTE so it's my choice.
How do I upload logcats

If the terms of your contract say otherwise, then it's not technically your choice...just sayin'.
Also, are you sure they're not just doing tower maintenance or something? Not saying that's the reason, but just tossing that out there.

No because data doesn't drop UNLESS I'm using tether. Take a look at this logcat here. I don't know how to read them, but I uploaded this one for the smarter people

I haven't come across this with sprint, but with VZW (i'm still on unlimited data) once I would get over 30GB no matter which tether method I tried, it would always disable data, then enable over and over. Once I turned off tether it would work fine. Sounds similar, I never found a fix and it wouldn't work properly until the next billing cycle when my data counter reset to 0.

That's what mine does. Do you think that's what's going on? It never drops when not using tether

I have a different phone on vzw so it's not device specific apparently. This sucks, I'm moving to a Sprint LTE area next month and planned on making up for all this 3g nonsense lol
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Yeah exactly what I was thinking as well, native tethering would connect my laptop on the road but no internet connection, but I could browse on my phone. Used wifi tether and worked perfectly...think they're figuring it out, on OMJ sense 5 ROM.

So you are stealing from a service that legit people pay for and when it stops for you you complain?
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Sprint is the one stealing. Remember the premier benefits? Every year they seem to take more from long term customers and reward new ones instead. Their false LTE coverage map is a joke as well. The ones knowledgeable enough to enjoy the benefit of something that should be offered anyway are perhaps just trying to get their money's Worth out of their service.
Though you probably already have this number saved in your phone since you support them so much, here is sprint's number. You can call them and complain about us there since you won't change any of our minds here.
866-866-7509
I'm up to 3GB of force roam data so far too. Screw ETFs.

LMFAO when did people start having a gun pointed to their heads to get a smartphone on Sprint? Anyone who is unhappy should have left in June or July when Sprint changed the contracts and ETF's were temporarily waived

Bunch of frickin cry babies around here. Leave Sprint get rid of the One. Go buy a iPhone or something. Geez
Sent from my HTCONE using Tapatalk

Not everyone knew they could get out ETF free during that time or sprint would have lost many thousands more customers. The ones that did had to fight for a while to get out. Force roam is pretty easy though.

Eh, getting rid of Sprint without ETF is as easy enough with a PRL change. Roam on VZW long enough and they boot ya.
As far as tethering/data goes, try an AOSP rom, CM10.2 or whatever floats your boat. I have a ONE on both Sprint and VZW (One's business, one's personal) and my crybaby boss set a 2gb cap on my VZW line. Needless to say, the cap doesn't ever kick in on AOSP, but on any stock-based rom (Sense) the data cuts out. Tethering on AOSP is pretty solid also.

Sprint is awful with their false 4g map.... worst 3g speeds i've ever seen in my life. It's atrocious even in MAJOR metropolitan areas.

Having some problems lately myself tethering on CM10-seemingly out of nowhere. Not ready to point the finger at sprint yet but it's on my radar and ruined a night of gaming for myself as well.

Complaining that sprint blocked "breach of contract" tethering on my hacked phone - priceless
