Hi guys,

Would like to add on for launcher replacement.

Try go launcher ex.

A neat launcher with a lot of features. So many themes and you even make it look like a stock launcher smile.gif

okay this is seriously something new. never heard anyone before with Nokia warranty for nexus 4. usually it's from Google US, LG Malaysia or ipmart. maybe there are others that I'm not aware of.  ohmy.gif

I've sort of rewritten the manual rooting guide as the XDA one might be confusing for newcomers. I'm not sure if it's detailed enough and yet simple to understand or not. Formatting (especially indentations) is one of the issues, gotta fix it next time when I have time laugh.gif

Comments & suggestions to improve are greatly appreciated!

Dear sifus, is there any other option to wake the phone without using the power button?
I am afraid the power button might not be durable enough for long-term use..

Proximity AutoLock if you are using a flip case smile.gif

But beware of some short comings compared to magnetic casing like those Ipads.

Nonetheless, I still love to use it and still using it biggrin.gif

Hi Guys ... i really do not mean to spam ... lol ...

Just that this is my first time being active in a thread in Low yat and wanted to contribute or share.

Please let me know if you think i am spamming ... and apologies for that.

I realize that for certain app, it allows the lock screen to put a widget it on.

Print screen is as below for your reference on what I am referring too.

Anyone know of any app that allows the same function ? Maybe can compile a list tongue.gif

How's the stock rom so far? smooth?
*
Had a few users in my office using s3 and note2 and after they touch my nexus 4, they still think nexus 4 is smoother smile.gif

I am using everything stock . no unlock or rooting.

But this is just the feedback I have gotten from my colleages. Others .might not share the same.

Hi guys,

Wanna ask a few Question.

1. Do you guys use any other launcher or just stock?

2. Is there any other music player that show your music folder? Nexus 4 music player doesn't show music folder. Im used to the samsung music player which u wan view your music folder.
*
1. Using GO Launcher pro because I prefer to have all my apps organize in folders for drawers as well.

2. Not using any music player because i dont use my nexus 4 to listen to music but have winamp install smile.gif

Try with another phone with NPC , for example Samsung Galaxy S3. It has NFC. Just need to make sure both phones (your nexus 4 and GS3's NFC turned on) , then open a picture on either phone, put the back of the phones together and you should see some animation on the phone and thenyou press on the screen it will send the picture over thumbup.gif

Yup reboot my phone problem still exists, nvm i think i will try different modem, maybe i will go over my frens house and test the connection.

For the heat issue, i dont feel comfortable with the heat, its like really hot if compare to other android phones i used previously, i can feel it specially near nexus wording area at the back of the phone, what about casing? i haven try out with casing, guess the heat wont blown off the cpu, lol.

I wonder if you still feel warm by putting on casing or the heat will get worst cause it will be trapped inside case cover.
*
I always play games on nexus4 with the nilkin flip cover. Do feel the heat but a lot lesser. My ipad3 heats up more than nexus4 hahaha so I am kinda good with all these heat especially when there is a 4 core running.

QUOTE(annoymous1234 @ Mar 5 2013, 11:41 PM)
After experiment I found out that all those apps like touch control and proximity sensor drain batter like no tomorrow.  Looks like I'll be using back power button from now. Hopefully it doesn't wear out and can last
*
Using the proximity auto lock and I am fine with the battery life. 10 hours without charge and around 2 hours and 30 mins screen on time.

Everything stock smile.gif

QUOTE(mengsuan @ Mar 6 2013, 12:17 AM)
Accurate screen should not have compromised with colour saturation. iPhone and iPad, similar IPS screen technology, capable of natural colour representation yet looks great.

Still, the Nexus appeals.
*
Indeed, no difference looking at my ipad3 and nexus 4 but sometimes I find that nexus4 looks more details. (Maybe cause it is a small screen)

I don't really mind at the viewing angle because I don't really find it that relevant on a small screens and usually I will hold up the phone to look at the screen.

Anyone can recommend the app to wake up phone w/o using power button.

I dont want ROOT. Currently , im using Smart Screen On but i feel still okay only. Any other apps allows us to double tap on screen to wake up? Smart Screen On require sensor and wave.

QUOTE(annoymous1234 @ Mar 6 2013, 10:43 PM)
thanks. actually drain battery i dun mind, even if 3% is acceptable, but anything that is above 5% is consider too much to me for 1 night (7-8hours)  sweat.gif
*
Never really noticed the battery percentage drained but will keep on a lookout for tonight.

So Far, I am using Proximity Autolook which uses the proximity sensor to turn on and off the screen. Find it very useful cause I am using a flip case right now, but if you are not using a flip cause, you might not find it that special other than taking it out of the pocket then it will auto turn the screen on or when you are lazy to press on the power button, just hover your hand across the censor then it will turn on the screen rclxms.gif

With this app installed, my battery can last about 10 hours with 2 hours to 2.5 hours screen on time. But not sure if this is consider ok or not. Usage is 3G almost 90% of the time, downloads , browse the internet, play games (about 30 to 45 minutes)

If you play game while charge then It might get stuck of discharge faster. But are you using charger or USB port to charge when this happen ?

If you wanna take care of your bat, it is best not to use it while charging.

The thing is, im not entirely sure if I should go for this? From multiple online reviews, two things that plagued Nexus 4 is, the battery life and the "not so impressive" camera. What do you guys feel about this two issue?
I am quite a heavy user by default. Fully charged at 6am in the morning, i'd browse, check mails.. apps, games, a bit.. arrived in office, more browsing, rss reading.. and Usually old S2, would be left with 40 or 50% by after lunch.

Depending on what you install and use. N4 slightly a bit better or almost the same.

dear sifu out there

today i went to Digi center inquiring about the nexus 4

they say i must sign plan to get the nexus 4 because they don't really sell the phone

i wonder if i can terminate the plan after 3 month and she told me will face penalty BASED on how many month left of the contract

which plan should i get if i want to get the phone without any hassle

anyone want to explain on these?
*
I think the zero contract is no longer available.
Mine was the The zero contract one. I went to digi centre last sat to terminate my number and they didn't ask me to pay on the spot ... Not sure why hahaha but my bill haven't come yet. So I am not sure if they will charge there.

Just wondering if we use proximity sensor to wake up our beloved device and if we are not using flip case,when we put our device in pocket will the device wake up frequently due to this proximity sensor.

Any idea? 

P:s did tried taking a peek in my pocket while walking.people must think me crazy.haha
*
I am using the proximity auto lock and I turn on the vibration to verify if the device is turn on or not. And so far no turning on while inside the pocket. The vibration will vibrate if it is turn on or off. And in other words if there is any activity on the proximity sensor it will vibrate.

Dear all, I would like to complain about my LG Nexus 4. I got a unit from DiGi Center in Penang and was told that if there was anything wrong with the phone I could seek DiGi to help fix it.

1 Week after having the phone, I voice call became a problem. Callers or people I call would not be able to hear through the microphone. I assumed that it was an Android issue and attempted to fix it by reformatting but to no use. Did not think much of it tho, as Viber calls do work.

3 Weeks later, the phone stop detecting my sim card. At this time I just could not take it anymore and called DiGi of where I could return the phone. Over the phone they told me to visit one of their DiGi centers in Bukit Mertajam main land and after driving there... I was told that I should take it to LG instead. I then took the phone to LG Penang island as requested by DiGi folks after giving me a wild ride.

At the LG Center... firstly the person in charge did not have any experience with the Nexus 4. He stared at the phone wondering where was the iMei number before I had to tell him where it was. He also did not have a Sim Key opener to open the phone's sim card. I had to borrow mine to him.

He told me he would get back to me on Friday (3 weeks ago) or the following week. A week after that Friday I gave him a call as there was no news only to be told that he will look into it again and when he returned call... he told me that there was water damage!

It was impossible for the phone to have water damage as I've never brought the phone close to any water and at most the only water I had was the sweat on my face while using the phone! If that's enough to trigger the water damage, this phone must be faulty. But! He insisted that I must have dropped the phone in water at parties or at the toilet! NO!

Hearing all that just pissed me off even more, and I blatantly just asked if he can fixed it and he answered with an unconvincing "I'll try"

6 weeks in of having the Nexus 4 (or really...3 weeks phone with me and 3 weeks with LG) the phone is still not repaired.

I once more called them again today! And they told me that the PCB board is broken and would require RM800 to fix! What the hell?! After 3 weeks and I constantly calling to follow up?

Bare in the mind, the phone is not even 1 month old when it went back to LG! and now it's getting close to 2 months old!

When I requested to see my phone today, the person in charge told me that I have to wait till tomorrow.

Honestly, the 1 week of having no problems with the phone was awesome... but LG really screwed up my experience.
*
Coming from a customer and tech support settlement, I would say don't pay them a cent. Their incapability to repair your phone deserve compensation to made top you. Go to all those link provided to file a complain. Go to Google and lg to complain. Go to their official Facebook and spam them. Make a big scene.

Go to their repair center, request to talk to manager and tell them if they don't fix, show the them their terms and condition and question them which part says you need to pay if under warranty. Inform them and tell it right to the manager's face, if don't fix, will sure them in tribunal court.

Them email to lg international group to complain. First to say is, want manager or senior manager to call and explain, them only explain what is wrong with your phone and why do you need to pay. Ask for compensation for time lost. Request extended warranty and make sure they send prove like an email to clarify it.

Hope this will help you.
