haiz... i feel like selling my nexus 4. this is my first vanilla android experience and im not too happy with it.
just when i thought battery is fine last night it drain 7% on 6 hours sleep. now have to keep observing which apps that cause it or is it android JB itself.
when i first got the phone i find that i had to find some productivity apps myself. there was no memo, no sound recording apps, and i had to search for a better calendar coz google calendar lacks so much things. then i use this profile manager on my old gingerbread, too bad it does not work on JB. finding another profile manager to work with JB was a pain in the ass. i know this is the dev problem for not updating their apps but i also see this is the bad thing that we have so many android version. like out of 10 profile manager apps, only 1 or 2 works for JB .
google made OTA update so troublesome (cannot remove any system app, cannot modify battery icon, etc..)
im not trying to say vanilla android is bad or something, but sometimes i think that it should include a few basic necessary apps.
pre-install google apps like google earth and all does not make it pure vanilla android either (kinda like, u said its pure android but u include ur own company apps)
getting fast update is probably the only good thing abut vanilla android sad.gif

I cannot understand why there's no sound recorder app in the drawer, I saw got sound recorder apk in system folder. Maybe some hack needed for stock Roms.

so, nobody can help regarding my sphere mode camera?

if phone software is stock, obviously there's something wrong with the hardware.
previously, there was one forumer got the phone with spoil acccelerometer as well.

Hello guys,for the vinyl skin,i think i will order 2 by 2,so we can share shipping fees,so total plus shipping fees will be RM33 exclude poslaju,you guys can COD with me or poslaju,who interested can PM me,thanks
*
only 2 max? means i save half of the usd3 from canada, which is about RM5.00.
if opt for poslaju/ekspress means dont really save much anyway.
where's ur location?

Some cables might not be able to transfer data / not support. So far only those microUSB cables that come with, say, powerbanks won't work (what I've tried so far)
*
usb cable that come with charger only can charge, cant transfer data.
cos they normally use the cheaper wire only got positive/negative line.

Use Greenify to control your most wakelock apps and running background apps. And then use Juice Defender or Internet Commander to control your Data/Wifi usage to extend battery life.

the two apps only have wifi control options in paid version.

demn, anyone bulking this ?  tongue.gif

no need to bulk lar, just buy directly from that website.
1 piece = 12pounds, 2 for 24, 3 for 36, shipping included.
normally kickstarter.com give the cheapest price to 'kickstart' their project. if they sell more later, its at higher price.

there are free apps in the playstore.

if you have data plan, you can try waze. i use this as well, it has live traffic conditions so that you can plan your route to try avoid jams. you can post reports for traffic jams, accidents, police, etc which are visible to all waze users.

if you want offline/download maps first via wifi, you can try this:

Do you root, flash custom rom, undervolt your processor, push adb etc etc...

dude, it's not more than $5, one time outing to midvalley costs you more than that, you can buy a phone which is $350 and above, yet, no money to spend on those apps to support those devs?  doh.gif
i'm not trying to scare him off and basically, android is way too easy to install cracked apks and i'm definitely not even wanting to tell those people way to install it.

PIRACY IS A VERY SERIOUS MATTER. Sigh..

sure, some of you bangga la when can use find cracked apks and use for free,
but more bangga if can find free apps to do the same thing, at least it is honest.

yup fast OTA from Google for one. Come May in Google IO, Nexus 4 will get Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. Other phones? Still on Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean 4.1.

how slow is other manufacturer? i read this last week, i almost wanna cry:

http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/07/htc-one-x-att-jelly-bean/

FINALLY, HTC One will get JellyBean 4.1... wow...

secondly, ever use TouchWiz from Samsung before? ever used HTC Sense from HTC before? i did (only TouchWiz), i hate it. manufacturer adding another layer to Android just to differentiate themselves.. most of the time, the new GUI layer even suckier than the original...
*
that is at&t version of htc one x.
slow update is not htc fault, is at&t (one of american telco) fault.
