Yeap hotspot first batch is rev 1,2nd batch is rev 2 according to their fb.

Latest info from xda is rev 2 is having peeling issue too,just a bit longer for it to happen.poetic is coming with rev 3.

I have ordered one rev 2 grey from racerx. Might hold off my purchase of they yellow one till i get feedbacks on rev 3, even though it comes with 3 years warranty,i rather wait for a good product rather than keep on asking for replacement. Hopefully they fix it for real tjis time.

Lg bumper is thicker than poetic, i already like how thinthe n4 is.

Much much better. Can try trickster mod to change it. remember to click the tick button to apply the settingsI use market enabler v3.1.1.2 i think it is open source. Got it from a page in code.google.com i'll share the link here if i found it. But searching for that version should give you the appropriate code.google.com website.

i dont think they'll accept trade in. do check the price that a shop might offer you for your nexus versus the market price in Mudah. if you want to sell at mudah, i suggest you to sell at a lower price than the price in mudah, you'll have a higher chance of selling it quickly. regarding the price, check the OP, someone shared the detail there. or use search for this thread or the thread before.
most of these 50GB services are like that. which is why I no longer pay attention to these services unless there is one with no file size limit. I am happy to stay with my Dropbox that has 26GB free for life. each year you can get additional 1 GB free for life if you complete the dropquest. just wait two weeks into the game, and look for a dropbox user that shares the steps for the dropquest, they normally share it in a Gdocs word file.

BBS cakap apa? mine with data on is 0.7%/h when i sleep.thanks for the PM!hopefully you'll hear from my friend soon.

and no, Nexus 4 can do better than that. mine is lower when it is in deep sleep. use BBS to find out the culprit.

no. the proper way of using BBS is to follow the instruction in the OP. it is at the end of the first post.



summary
1. get latest stable version and enable the root features if you are rooted. go to settings, advanced and tick the unticked boxes
2. best to get a reading when it is idle.
3. charge your phone like normal before you sleep, pick the 'since unplugged option'
4. unplug the phone from the charger and leave it untouched till you wake up tomorrow.
5. create a dumpfile first thing when you wake up.

this idle time can also be any other time that you can leave the phone on idle for a long period of time. four hours is the recommended period.

now analyze what is wasting your battery from the dumpfile. you can learn about it from the original thread and share your dumpfile there for advise. the idea is to get the right balance between features you want and battery life.
any provider can be the best provider for you if they have the right package for you. track your usage using call meter 3G or other similar apps for a month or so with normal usage.

from this info, pick a plan from a provider that you think fits your monthly usage

from the data usage feature built in to android, in the last 9 days, i have used 83MB on mobile data, and 10.23GB on wifi

i restrict a lot off apps from using background data on mobile data (using the built in feature, search in previous thread on how to). and i use a lot of pre-fetch and caching feature when the phone is plugged in to a charger and connected to wifi. play store also is set to update on wifi only. Youtube, google reader, pocket, G+ instant upload and play music prefetch the stuffs on wifi + connected to charger only.

talking about play music, i forgot to post on how to bypass the region restriction ! will write it out and post it when i am free

actually, most of the folks in bbs thread don't really recommend on using JD. have you tried creating an idle dumpfile with BBS and analyse it? installing an app that tells you it can save your battery won't solve all the problem. which is why the dumpfile from BBS is more useful as it provide in depth data of your drain. there might be some apps that are not playing nice and keeping a wakelock. search for my previous post on how to use BBS.

true, most of the time when i am browsing instagram, reading xda on phones, or light stuffs, only two or single core is used, and they automatically scale at low freq for these light usage. no additional setting required

do you have a big music library? I have moved mine to the cloud. i only use the itunes to manage the files that i keep locally on the PC. 20GB of songs, all in the cloud. that is one way to save your precious storage. actually, it'll be better if you can tell us the breakdown of your iphone usage. what are the main things that take the biggest space in your phone?regarding storage, refer my post above about moving to cloud. you'll get a better answer if you were to describe your current storage breakdown in your current phone. what are your main use of those storage? apps, games music videos etc? how much storage have you used up now?

. regarding the price, which price are you comparing with? play store or brick retail shop?

see, this whole pricing shebang is not that simple. we can all argue that play store is cheaper. thing is when you check the serial number and decode your IMEI using the site posted at XDA you'll see different order code by different companies of different countries. now why is that?

firstly, Google is not the sole distributor of Nexus 4. we have various distribution channels for Nexus as per the different order code.

play store channel - Google's intention is to make the device as affordable as possible because their main revenue is not from selling our beloved Nexus 4, it is from the potential revenue from those apps, movies, musics that people purchase with the Nexus 4. not to forget ads too. El Goog makes money from consumption.

other channel(telco like Digi, media markt in Germany, retail stores, distributors etc) - their main revenue is from selling those hardware itself. and they are not getting their stock from Google, they are ordering them directly from LG HQ( wherever that is. hence the different order code). they won't make money from those media consumption like Google, they will definitely sell the Nexus 4 at a higher price than the Play Store because that is the only they are going to make money.

now, we don't have a play store in our country yet, so we are under the other distribution channel. we won't be getting play store's price.

decoding the local IMEI also show a MYS tag and MALAYSIA tag AMYSBK tag instead of the usual play store tag.

but, we do have a choice. you can either purchase a local set with full local warranty or AP set with AP warranty, or import from a country that has play store for Nexus 4 at a cheaper price, but you have to handle all the warranty matters from those countries too (LG does not provide international warranty)

p/s: 1. all these are just from my understanding on how these different companies make their money. it is the likeliest explanation that i could think of.

2. please excuse my grammatical mistakes in this post. I will clean it up tomorrow or whenever i am free.

this is one of the many perks of rooting, titanium backup. search in previous thread about titanium backup or google to learn more.use a kernel that has the hsic wakelock patch. there are many to choose from. harsh, motley, thracemerin. if you want to maintain a very close to stock kernel, then use thracemerin's one.you need to unlock bootloader to root. you can however keep being at the rooted state and lock your bootloader if you are concerned about security.

hi bassist, i realized you posted it in XDA too. i concur with them regarding the hsic and ebay.

what kernel are you using now? the thracemerin kernel is very close to stock if you are still using a stock ROM. you can revert to the original kernel with the stock kernel reset zip posted by motley or faux(motley said his reset zip file is more thorough though) a kernel with hsic wakelock patch should reduce this wakelock. harsh and motley have them too, not sure about others

i am not sure why GoSMS is waking your device a lot, is there a setting that triggers this? mine didnt wake my device.

ebay is not playing nice from what i have read, you might want to check the setting and look for a setting regarding polling interval or similar, and use a longer interval instead. other than that, your phone looks pretty normal. cleaner than mine tbh. so it might be because of ebay (400 plus wake up in 7 hours is a lot)
dont wait for the email, mine took two weeks before getting the email. i got the email after i went to DiGi. Just save the confirmation page and print it out. it should work.which is why the poster of the thread recommended using bootunlocker+stock recovery after rooting. would like to know what are you looking for from rooting? saya guna AppDialer by C.C.P cre@ions i hardly use my app drawer or folder now.

not an organiser though. it is like a T9 dialer, but for apps;. i got tired of organising my apps. (i have a lot of apps, and i have not fully restored my other apps from Titanium) so AppDialer works for me. smart launcher is good too. used to use a similar app called AppOrganiser

yeap, which is why i use bootunlocker + stock recovery once i am done flashing my ROM+kernel. bootunlocker will re lock the bootloader. if someone want to gain access, unlocking the bootloader will wipe my device.

online banking apps are smart enough to remove cache files during exit, so i wont worry much about that. you are more likely to be hacked from connecting to a public non secure wifi than from a hacker gaining physical access to your device. most thieves are just going to steal your device and sell it for a quick cash, they won't go to the length of accessng your phone's data. most of the shops will just flash a stock image too.

However, if you are working in a sensitive environment whereby your device might be targeted for data theft, i suggest you to keep fully stock, bootloader locked as well. when installing for apps, look for permissions that those apps are looking for. your IT deparment might have more info on how to secure your device (encryption etc) if they are well versed on security. Else, you can Google for how to secure your device for a sensitive environment. i do advise you to assess their recommendation, not all websites provide good recommendation.

I just like to know my device is secure. i do not work in a sensitive environment, but pretty sensitive about my privacy. right now, i am rooted with CM. using bootunlocker(my bootloader is locked) + stock recovery + OpenPdroid + AFWall + Cerberus to secure my device.

Cerberus is a good anti theft app. paid app, but worth it i'd say.

open pdroid allows you to limit the access that apps request. i block FB's tonnes of unnecessary permision requestrefer my reply above on common thieves. for average usercase, unlocking the bootloader won't cause you harm. are you working in a highly sensitive environment? yeap, just try doing those two and check the BBS stats again.

kekeke. i think windows users are not aware that people can just access their device without having to hack their login info. just a liveusb would do

but seriously guys, if you are not working in a highly sensitive environment , unlocking the bootloader and keeping it unlocked is relatively safe. security risk is always there, even when you are fully stock, fully locked etc.

XDA has recommends ROM developers to honour GPL. so if you stick with ROMs that have their sources open, you should be safer. CM AOKP and most other ROMs are adhering to this.

installing apk from an unknown or unverified sources is definitely more unsafe than the ones in play store.

again, security risk exists in any configuration. but yeah, stock + encrypt is safer for highly sensitive environment. hope you'll get another set to play around!

might as well purchase from Senheng + plusone to get the additional 1 year warranty.

from my initial reading, yeap hsic it is. Read my reply to bassist on what kind of kernel to get. just look for a kernel that have the patch. kernel choice is very subjective. pick your poison.

Also you are rooted,enable alarms and network view. Search for my previous post on how to use bbs, there is a guide to enable these. Btw, it seems fine though. try snother patched kernel and do another idle test, If there is still some high amount of the device being awake, share the dumpfile here. If there isnt, you are good to go, just enjoy the phone.

i'll give you an example. Nexus S, the second Nexus device was launched with 2.3 Gingerbread. The last official update it received was 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. After market update already has the device running with 4.2.1 from CM AOKP, even AOSP based ROMs.there might be something that is holding wakelocks. use BBS to find out. changing kernel doesn't necessarily give a better result if there is some apps holding wakelocks.parking basement? whoa, they must have placed some internal antenna to boost the signal. DiGi did the same thing at my previous college, they had the whole college wired up.tbh, your setup should have a lower drain than mine. My alarms and wakelocks are much much dirtier than yours. is wifi not available at your place? or does it wake your device more? that might be a factor too. mine is on wifi for the 0.5-0.7 drain. with wifi, my hsic wake lock is 50s. tbh, for a full on data usage, your hsic wakelock can be considered very good already compared to the previous dumpfile.
sophan iinm, you are using a Diztronic TPU case right? does it play nice with the SP? are the buttons easier/harder to press with the TPU covering them?

it has been said before that the prepaid option received by syahbi is due to an error made by the DiGi staff. He and his friend got lucky!

The zero contract option is cheaper if you can use the SKMM rebate. By the way, if you are looking to terminate it and not use the SKMM rebate, why don't you get it at off contract price of 1649 at Hotspot or Senheng / SenQ?

tested my battery life today. on a portable hotspot (from my Desire Z, have to finish those Digi 5GB somehow eh) around 5 hours on that, then wifi at home with heavy usage.

screen on time roughly 5 hours plus.

not exactly the best, but pretty satisfied.


have not tested a full 3G usage yet. perhaps some other day.
