Starting from Android 4.0 Google removed ad hoc network support. So if your portable device transmit ad hoc network you may not be able to connect to it. Some users managed to modify the wpa supplicant file to support ad hoc network. I might try to do that after I got my phone.

Think I pissed the Hotspot facebook operator by asking about the courier status again laugh.gif

No wonder when I set up Adhoc on my laptop to share the internet, my N4 can't pick up the SSID. How to enable ad hoc network support?

As I said you can try modify the wpa_supplicant file to enable ad hoc support.

Seems like they are still in try and error stage to enable the Adhoc mode for Nexus 7 according to THIS

They did mentioned about Bluetooth tether?

Tried the similar method with SGS 2 but it didn't work.Haven't continue my work on this for a long time.I'll resume with Nexus 4.

i just sold off my nexus 4.. seriously.. found it very unuser friendly...

mayb is the LG thats really spoilt it..

last time when i used the Samsung Galay Nexus.. is better and much more user friendly.

couldnt cope with it.. so i let go it already...

and yeah, i realised the "hissing" when talking on the phone.
*
Dude,you know how Google roll Nexus project right? The OEM only provide hardware while Google take care of it software.

I don't see how can SG Nexus can be much more user friendly than Nexus 4 since both of them are running similar OS or same OS after SG Nexus updated to 4.2.1.
This is not like SG Nexus running Android 2.3 & Nexus 4 running Android 4.X

I'm using my SGS 2 for almost 14 months now but I never listen,listen,listen,listen,listen to any songs through it's speaker.Always use headphone.
So I don't really mind how the loud speaker performs.As long as I can hear the ringtone I'm fine with it.

I believe GOOGLE trying to bring the LG up... by having knowledge/technology transfer...

HTC made the first Android phone.. after that, they seem to "know"  how to make an Android phone.

After that, Samsung made the next 2 Nexus phone. Look at where they are today.... S2 was decent, but the S3 is seriously taking market share from Apple....

Motorola seems to be the only one that didnt do well with their first 10" tablet.

Asus seems to doing well (in terms of quantity sold, better than all their other Android products) with Nexus 7 and most recently announced (rumour) the Nexus 7.7. They also announced a budget Android 7" tablet.

This time is LG.

Hopefully next will be a Sony NEXUS product.... of which I will SO buy the SONY Nexus!!!!
*
HTC got lazy after their 1st generation Android phone.Their desire line is just copy paste of their other products.Their One line is good but by then Samsung already gain too much influence over Android users.

S2 is still a great product.I'm running a modified version of Samsung stock Android 4.1.2 version & it perform as well as you can expect.

I do understand why Google gave LG the Nexus manufacturing chance.Optimus G contain some great hardware.But Google should considered or monitor LG's manufacturing capabilities & their QC.

It's not easy to fight with Samsung in term of manufacturing capabilities.Do you guys know that almost all the parts for Nexus 10 produced by Samsung themselves? Not many company can do that.

ASUS is a very interesting OEM.A dark horse if you ask me.They make excellent Android tablet with almost stock Android and always deliver timely software update.They also make interesting product like Padphone which actually make sense since tablets & phone shares similar hardware which make it suitable to make phone + tablet hybrid.Hopefully Google will update Android with more feature to support Padfone like project.
But with S3 they got kinda lazy.Using the same plastic design while trying to do too much with the software.They need streamline their software if they want SGS IV to be successful.Brand name won't help for a long time.It's a painful lesson learned by Nokia.

Many people confused poly carbonate as plastic,poly carbonate are as expensive as glass and aluminium,just wonder what makes glass and aluminium so special and premium

Polycarbonate & regular plastic do share some properties.However when they are used to construct phone body the end result it totally different.Polycarbonate body is a a lot rigid but heavier.

It's one of DiGi' Center's bad habit.They won't replace the unit even if the phone was just collected few hours ago.
The user themselves have to go to respective service center to deal with warranty claim.
Happened to my cousin sister when she bought phone from digi before.

Well,Google's plan with Motorola is pretty simple.
Dismantle the company to bare bone phone manufacturer to make it more efficient and only produce high end smarphones.

How much will a cheap earphone cost in mass manufacturing?
5USD? C'mon,Nokia provide earphone for all their phone.

Enough complaining,time to take a tour on Android 4.2 in my Nexus 4 1 last time before I flash to CM10.1

Well,that's a epic fail with CM10.1
Stuck with bootloop & didn't have nandroid backup because I went flashing commando style.
Had to rescue the phone with sending file through adb & reflash stock rom.
Probably made mistake somewhere due to lack of sleep.Will try again after getting some sleep.

Aside from battery problem the rest is just minor QC issue which happens with other OEM.

Forget about screwing up CM10.1.I'm using CM 10.1 + franco kernel now.Once I got decent casing I'll bring it out to see how it perform.

Should have trusted more on my command line skill than stupid GUI.Wasting my time only fixing the bootloop.

Hi guys!
I'm the new owner of Nexus 4 too! just bought it today using "Pakej Komunikasi Belia" without contract from DiGi.

RM1249 (Device) + RM68 (Deposit Smart Plan) = RM1317.

I think it worth it because If buy from Google Play also have to pay around RM1.25K (Device + DHL + Sirim sticker) after reading all the post.

Hehe.

Just wondering, is Nillkin Leather Case worth to buy?
*
One of the most decent casing you'll get for now.Not much choices out in Malaysia.
