Official Droid 4 Specifications

Haven't seen anyone mentioning it yet, so I've decided to post it here.

The DROID 4 is upon us whether we are ready for it or not. The first pictures of it popped up a few weeks ago followed by signs pointing to it arriving on December 8. We also got confirmation that training has started for some Verizon shops, along with this set of official specs. Who knew we would see it so soon?
The D4 will have a 4″ screen (LCD or AMOLED?), 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM, DROID RAZR styling, 5-row slideout keyboard, 4G LTE, front camera for video chatting and an 8MP rear camera. This could be the DROID that many of you have been waiting for. The Stratosphere had LTE and a keyboard, but this phone has top of the line specs to go with them.
On a related note, thoughts on the tool needed to remove the back cover? It doesn’t have a removable battery, but the cover can be removed using that circular tool pictured above, so that you can insert a SIM and SD card.

This is what the droid 3 should have been in the first place...Instead of opting for one standout phone though, Motorola decided to make 2 behind the curve phones in the time span of two months. They should give Droid 3 owners some kind of upgrade deal or something, that's just crazy.
edit: Did they get rid of the lip? If so, now I'm really upset, I always hated that lip at the bottom.

I strongly agree with you. The Droid 4 seems like the phone I've been waiting for the whole time. I'm quite sure Moto released the D3 with less superior hardware solely as a marketing strategy.
Too bad the battery's no longer swappable (with the exception of removing some additional covers)

I just got the droid 3 after tons of problems with the D2G. I must say, for not having paid for the phone, I'd be willing to pay for this D4. BUT, not being able to install an extended battery is a major dis. Sure the 1785mAh that this has is bigger then the 1500 the we have...but its still smaller than the 1950 the extended has. Who care how fast your phone is if its dead...

Does anyone know what version of Android this thing runs?

just feel disappointed about it

Don't buy it. Realy the droid 4 six months after the droid 3. Then there will be thr droid 5 six month after that. That's why as soon as I can I'm never going to own a carrier phone again. Its all nexus for me. Motorola has disapointed me very much . People sign the patition pn the thread abouve this one.

Screen TFT? That would mean its not AMOLED like the RAZR. If so, I hope it is not pentile! Lets hope the screen is IPS/SLCD with classic RGB stripe matrix.

Backlight bleeding poll

How many of you have at least some light bleeding on your N7? I've got some minor bleeding in my bottom left corner and just wondering if it's pretty normal on these tablets.
Here's a good app to test for it:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeleveque.backlightbleedtest&hl=en

Very minor for me, only noticeable on the boot screen (Google logo).
I am more bothered by the washed-out screen after playing movies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781157

No backlight bleeding here.

None here

I have a nice back light bleed line along the entire right side of the device :-(

Terrible light bleeding along the left side.
See attached.

I feel sick with that bloody screen...

Yep. The one I got from the Play Store has bleeding in the lower left corner. I already called for an RMA, my new one should be here by Wed I hope.

Got mine from the Playstore. Ever so slight on the bottom right (held landscape). Most people probably wouldn't notice but it's annoying me. Might RMA tonight. Can this be done without sitting on the phone to Google? Last time I could hardly hear the guy.
Has anyone tried tightening/loosening the screws inside to rectify the leakage?

I tried. It doesn't help a bit. Rang Google from Australia and waited for a long time. Got an email from them with instructions to arrange pick up from FedEx but the guy forgot to attach the RMA form. Reply via email and no reply for over 12 hours. Will call them again tomorrow.

In all honesty I put "none" even though I saw some in the bottom-left corner also.
The reason I put none is because I had to use screen test to turn the whole screen black and turn off all the lights and ambient light sources in my room in order to see it. And even then, it was very, very minor.
People seem to complain about their N7 a lot, but my own experiences with the hardware have been flawless, barring shorter-than-advertised battery life

You are the lucky one I guess. Today I went to a retail store and buy another one. This one doesn't have the light bleeding issue, but the screen flickers a lot, and this issue is very visible in a dark room and with a white background. Contradicts to what others are saying, the flickering happens in all apps as long as the background is white.
Disappointed but not entirely unexpected with any brand new product.

Has anyone got a photo of the screen working perfectly? I get paranoid that I'm being to precious about the quality.

None.
Ordered from PCWorld UK.

Minor at top of screen and along the left side. Seems to have gotten worse since I've been using it.
Think I am returning the tablet to play store and not purchasing another. I don't have time to deal with defective hardware.

last picture on my review shows my screen.
it has HEAVY bleeding, now waiting for replacement...
http://smartphoneblogging.com/2012/07/review-google-nexus-7-hardware/

Pronounced with white bkg, not dark
Yes, 4 white blobs on the left side when looking at lighter colored apps.... like Google Play books, Google Talk, Gmail, Currents, etc....
Kinda bummed... on the fence about a RMA.

Wow, 35% here have backlight bleeding.
Oh QC, QC, wherefore art thou?

Mines is minimal but I've put in to return and NOT replace.
It's a great device so I'm going to try buying locally so I can easily return. Not spending another 50 minutes on hold to Google and wait days for email responses. Suspect Google have bitten off more than they can chew with this one!

Nope.... none here.

Nope. Google Play UK.

Screen has got a yellow tint after warming

It looks very good:

The colours are pretty good, especially the white:
But!!
after some browsing, or benchmark (when the phone is warming a bit)
It gets yellow tint the left side on the screen (maybe not only there, but there is the most recognisable):
I don't find this is a good product from LG.
I hope this is not usual...but personally I'm disappointed :crying:

Looks like the glue spot issues the One X had/still has...
It's to do with how the screen is glued to the LCD.
I really cba going through issues similar to the One X's launch again, that device had a horrendous hardware launch.

Are you in Europe and did you buy this from an EU carrier? If so, it would seem that LG diverted units from Google to go to other vendors. Google actually had to cancel announced plans to sell the Nexus 4 via Playstore in the Netherlands and Belgium at the very last minute because LG couldn't deliver units. I suspect LG's reputation isn't going to be helped by the disastrous launch of this phone. Google deserves to share the criticism too. (There's a rumor that LG delivered only 5,000 units to Google, but then rumors aren't substantiated and it may well be false. However, the UK Playstore sold out in under an hour and the US Playstore was sold out in under a half and hour so it sounds like there weren't a lot of phones available.)

Yeah this definitely looks like the issue that one x had with their launch. Not good!

Christ almighty, this phone is Frankenstein resurrected. How many things went wrong/are wrong again!? I can't keep track anymore. Worst f-cking phone EVER. Sucks it looks so good though.

didn't the iphone 5 have the same issue and stated for users to wait untill the glue cures completely and the yellow tint should go ?

I'm really curious what will expect me when I open the packaging of this phone...

Had that on my Nexus S i9023. It's the glue. When heated it turns yellow.

I´m curious because none of the reviewer phones had this problem and they benchmarked the phone a lot etc..

If you press down on the screen (on the yellow patch as if reviving a dead pixel), does the yellow patch disfigure? Could be some glue that hasn't set in properly yet...leave it overnight and see if it disappears

Well, if it's after the benchmarks, it means it either got so hot that physically damaged lcd, or just helped glue to evaporate faster than it should. I suggest not pushing it for the first few days cpu wise, let everything dry out as much as possible naturally.

indeed, I wonder if the networks (O2..etc got a bad batch of phones...). I bought mine from Google Play earlier today and now I'm scared for my life and hoping that LG didn't screw mass production of this amazing phone up...

On the section 3.5 of Screen section of the French review from frandroid.com here :
http://www.frandroid.com/test/116648_test-du-nexus-4/2/#3
You can see photos of the yellow tint. The text translated from French :
"After some testing, we noticed a weird behavior of the screen on a white background. A blue light escapes from the top of the screen. Moreover, a yellow spot appears. It's sometimes difficult to notice at first sight. Knowing the hardware we have is final, this is very worrisome."

I think it's the same like sony xperia-s screen.

yes...it looks like mine, but another place on the screen.

Dang.......
Do they always have problem in the nexus line...

I live in the UK and what worries my is, where do I have to post my N4 if I have issues?
This could get expensive if I have to keep posting it back to the US.

Don't be silly, it will be dealt with locally
Just call Google support.

My Google Play Edition s4 is SOOO much better than my N5

I have had my N5 for a week now and its back in the box and the Play S4 takes its place, nothing about the N5 is any better than the S4 in fact its worse in available screen size, notification lights don't work and its so slippery I already dropped it twice, and the camera sucks asss, is this really the Google Flagship, I think not!!!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that the S4 has removable battery and SDcard

Wow I never would have thought a 5 inch phone with onscreen buttons has less available space than a 5 inch phone with Hardware buttons, thanks for explaining this to me.

I had to pee today after I drank coffee, and then I had some toast. Today is a good day.

heres your answer
The screen sizes are identical but Google uses the bottom portion for its on screen controls so the screen area ends up being about 3/8" shorter than the S4, just saying that's all, maybe not everyone realises

So you think a $600 is better than a $300 phone? okay...

Is this thread one of the Samsung's marketing strategy?

Why are you still here if you are getting rid your slippery N5?
Oh, and in case you weren't aware the S4 is worse in screen size then the G2 and Note 3. Just wanted to put that out there for you.

I've owned 5 different phones in the last 3 years and I haven't dropped any of them once, yet you dropped yours twice in a day. Maybe you just have sweaty hands?

but they are not Google phones the last time I checked ROFLMAO

[Q] Jelly like scrolling?

The Verge just published a review on the Droid Turbo and it says the phone has some kind jelly like scrolling. What do you guys think about it? Is it for real?
I can't post links here, so just search for "Motorola Droid Turbo review" on The Verge's website. They included a gif where you can see what I'm talking about.

I never noticed that on my Turbo.
Sent from my XT1095

I notice it, but it's a subtle effect. If you scroll lightly on a long list of things in the web browser, you might be able to see it.

Yea I have no doubt seen that in the store. Really bothered me.

Mine doesn't do anything like that. Wonder if it's because I switched to ART or if it's only on some devices.

Mine doesn't do that, I even tried it on their site like was in their video and smooth as silk.

Yes, mine does the same thing, though it's not nearly as bad as their example. I'm hoping I'll just get used to it.

Yeah, I returned my Turbo because of the issue. If it gets sorted out with updates I may take the plunge again, but until that time I'm out. There is another thread in the general section talking about the same issue. It's referred to as screen warping in that one.

That's the gif from theverge's review. I haven't been able to recreate this on my device, I'd recommend asking for an exchanged unit if you see it on your Turbo.

Yep, that's how mine and all of the display models were. It was more obvious when scrolling though the xda app. Just try holding your finger on the screen, pull it down, and then go back up with it without picking up your finger. Maybe it only effected the first models but I haven't saw one that doesn't have the issue yet. :/ I would have kept it if it weren't for that issue.

I have a feeling it's a display driver issue, as some other 2560x1440 devices have had varying degrees of severity with this issue. Mine appears flawless in all apps and websites on Chrome, so you might have more luck in the future with a more recent shipment of units.

I have two turbos with a Sept 24th build date, 64gb nylon, both do not have the jelly scroll issue. Tried numerous apps, but I could replicate what I see in that GIF.

I hope you're right. I'm buying off contract so I would have to verify that the issue was fixed in person for me to take the plunge again. Like I said though, all of models that I have seen has it. It's been quite a few too.

I had this issue with my DROID that I bought about a week ago. Returned it since, it still had alot of kinks to work out.

My Turbo 32GB has an Oct 7 build date and I can't replicate that flaw on mine either.

I've noticed this at certain times on my Turbo. Honestly it's subtle to the point that I thought I was imagining it. At least for me personally it doesn't bother me at all. When I first saw it I actually wondered if it was intentional and thought it was kinda cool lol.

Can not replicate the gif. Tried and tried. Used chrome. Is that the browser everyone is using? I assume so since that's what the phone is shipped with. But you never know. I can see how that would be irritating

Just so we're all clear, what that gif is supposed to illustrate is the fact that when you scroll up and down things seem to expand and contract as you do so. Not the delay that appears to be in the gif, that is just part of the effect of the slow mo, all phones have that.
Every droid turbo I have seen has this effect. At this point I've seen it on about 15 phones. I've never seen a droid turbo that does not have it. It is most apparent on sites where there is a lot of color in blocks because it's easier for the eye to see the blocks expanding and contracting than with text

Anyone know of a good website or app to test for this scrolling effect?
Sent from my XT1254

I see it on my turbo, disabling animations in developer options doesn't do anything. I am not sure its even an animation effect, it may just be some lag in the scaler. Its not specific to a particular app, its throughout android. Hopefully they address it in the next update.
