Guys, I wanna use flashify and flash stock ROM, is the rom boot IMG or recovery IMG?
*
boot.img contains ramdisk and kernel
recovery.img contains recovery - stock recover/CWM/TWRP

Neither of them contains the ROM itself.

ROM is in system.img but you can't flash that using flashify.

OTA, havent try factory reset..

4.3 isn't that bad but there are a few problems occurred but they happened occasionally that are probably caused by 4.3 :

1; phone auto reboot after call ended

2; phone auto reboot after launched camera

3; phone battery drain too fast on mobile data (didn't test on wifi)

4; keyboard is less responsive, eg : when you type "LOWYAT" phone can only sense "LWYT" ( Will be fixed by itself after typing for a while )

5; Camera could not take photo/focus (totally no respond) but only can launch the app, 3 function key still responding. (Can only be fixed after reboot)
these problems had no appearance before the 4.3
will wait for any fix from Google but I'm losing patience
*
I don't think 4.3 itself will cause these problems. It's most probably the OTA process. As suggested, you should do a factory reset.

Hmm.. glad to see both of you have smooth experience with Nexus 4, so far after factory reset, everything went well, but there were 2 times when i was swiping through apps, and the page just stuck there!  sweat.gif  doh.gif  Like half of first page app and half of second page app is there, unless i press home button.  rclxub.gif Haih.. Really cannot accept flaw like this, Have unistalled nova launcher, minimalistic text, all those uccw thing, or pie control, all back to original.

besides that another small flaw is camera app, when taking photo, and then swipe left to view photo, also stuttered. aiks..

Maybe I shouldn't complain too much, but I was expecting a completely smooth good experience using it..

Interested with Ballistics!  thumbup.gif  Please Pm me

It seems like you're the only one with these problems. Didn't see anyone else complain biggrin.gif

Those problems you mentioned are non-existent even in Galaxy Nexus. How can it happen on Nexus 4?

Hi guys, I'm having issues with Google services eating up my bandwidth. Almost my whole quota of 3gb was used up within a week. Any idea what is wrong with the settings? I'm on PA 3.6. And I have never encounter anything like this before with all PA Roms. I've since then blocked all background data for gapps until I can find out what's the issue.
*
Someone had this problem before. It's like your phone is trying to download the update to 4.3 even though you're on Custom ROM. Flash new PA (3.95?) and it should be fixed.

guys im curious what is the max speed of 3g?
cause my office at kapar i'm getting 14-15mb download which is damn strange... ( not just once and 1 day... been testing almost everyday now )

and my nexus not yet unlock 4G radio... (i just did it now and will test again 2morow )
i was wondering was that 4g?

cause i check digi website 4g coverage is very small only...
and kampung area like kapar wont come out 4g so fast...
*
You get 14-15MB download with digi? That's very good already. I get 4MB max with my digi. Theoretical max speed for Nexus 4 is 42.2Mbps on HSPA+

Btw...

When you buy Nexus 4, you didn't know that Nexus 4 has no LTE? I mean... Yes, it has LTE if you stay in places like... Canada but not here in Malaysia. Malaysia bands (1800/2600) are both not supported by the Nexus 4. If you get 4G on your Nexus 4, it would be miracle or someone illegally setup one at that band biggrin.gif

would like to ask who is digi user.

since i change to nexus 4, i never see my phone with 3G signal when enable data, always 'H' only.

do i need to change any setting to get the 3G signal?

What's your previous phone? 3G theoretically speed is only 384kbps. H goes up to 3.6/7.2 then 21.1/42.2.

DiGi deployed quite a number of H+ tower around my area but not stable H+. Jumping between H and H+.

U mobile user staying near me get constant H+.

I not sure..but i get the info from this thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966172

According to it,

WCDMA preferred - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 3G is favored more.

GSM auto (PRL) - The GSM phone is capable of using both 2G and 3G data communication and when signal strength is low 2G is favored more. This one is a bit confusing to me since PRL is associated mostly with CDMA technology and not GSM technology.

Since the place i go does have consistent 3g signal (using u mobile) so i would like to use GSM auto(PRL) to prevent it keep searching for 3g when the signal is low

The setting in 4636 won't stick after reboot. Custom ROM makes them stick though. Use custom rom? biggrin.gif

Impossible...

Read up on this: http://www.tekrieg.com/news/lg-nexus-4-tips-4g-lte/1001202/

LTE will only work on the LG Nexus 4 that support the AWS band of 1700 or 2100MHz. At the moment this is used in Canada along with some of the regions that T-Mobile use on their 4G network.


Then...

Celcom  Malaysia 1800 3 Yes May 2013 [183]

Maxis  Malaysia 2600 7 Yes January 2013 [188][189]
All telco in Malaysia use either 1800MHz or 2600MHz. No way it will work on 1700 or 2100MHz.

No harm trying though. Have fun!

Hi guys, any idea if a US nexus 4 can claim warranty from local LG centers? I read the first post about a forumer being able to register but has there been any confirmation since then?

I'm asking since my friend is coming back from the US soon and I can tumpang him to buy..I can save around RM400-500 if the warranty is the same.
*
Can still save 400~500?

Local set is now at around 1200 range.

Get from Play Store 16GB version is $349 means RM1146 (based on Google's conversion rate).

So basically you're not saving any money beside more hassle to claim warranty.


Yes... Someone registered his IMEI with LG Malaysia but others who didn't has to pay extra compared to local set to get it fixed (for parts not covered by warranty like cracked screen, cracked back glass etc)


I suggest you just grab it locally. Search for Nexus 4 in lelong, you can find RM1200 ones wink.gif

Hi all, a note for any possible new buyer.

I strongly advice to not buy from CP Mobile
https://www.facebook.com/pages/CP-Mobile/156665107714529
https://www.facebook.com/notes/cp-mobile/cp...315636661817372

Last week Thursday (15/8/2013) i went to their shop and look for Nexus 4. They said currently no stock but if i deposit now i can get in 1 or 2 days.
So i decided to deposit, before i pay for deposit i asked again if they sure i can get in 1 or 2 days. And they firmly replied "YES!"

Fine then i pay for deposit, and you know what. I just received my Nexus 4 few hours ago (which already been 1 week after i place my deposit)

The worst thing is they don't answer my call, and they only let me know that i can get my phone on Thursday (22/8/2012) (They sms me on Tuesday)

So yea, strongly recommend NOT to buy from this specific store. It's located in Melaka Bukit Beruang if anyone wondering.
Okay, stories aside. I am now officially a Nexus 4 owner  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif
So anyone got any good kernel/rom/mod to recommend? I just got my phone and it's un-rooted.
I need my phone to be rooted or i can't do shit rolleyes.gif

I just wanted to ask fellow LYN-er before i heading to XDA to try out some random rom/kernel/etc
*
Erm... They're just late for few days. Although bad for not answering your call, at least they delivered your phone to you, not telan your deposit. No need to dispute them like this right?

Grats for getting N4 btw~

Just got back from PC Fair... omai~ I really like Huawei Ascend P6! Phone is really slim and even the bezel is so narrow.

The IPS display is even better than my Nexus 4! I wonder why, so I did a bit of checking. It turn out that P6 is even brighter than Nexus 4. Nexus 4 screen is bright at max 608cd/m2, a lot better than most phone (Samsung S4 just 404cd/m2)... but P6 is at 670cd/m2... I dont know why, I am always attracted to bright screen...

Tested the "Emotion UI"... kind of OK, but I still like pure Android.  brows.gif

What? All nexus phones are underpriced?
Durr.
You do know that the nexus 4 is subsidized by google and that's why it's cheap right?
The Nexus One, Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus was not that much cheaper compared to similar spec-ed phones.
*
I don't think Nexus 4 is subsidized by Google. Google just managed to somehow persuade those brands to sell it at lower price. Their cost price should be lower than the price Google selling.

Take Asus and LG for example, by letting Asus and LG to manufacture Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 respectively, google managed to sort of help them to get into android market else this market should be now fully dominated by Samsung and HTC with no place for LG and Asus to stand.

Just my thoughts.

Some ppl will eventually come out with the cost price of those devices (I remember they did calculate the cost for first gen Nexus 7). Then you will know that their cost price is actually still lower than Google's selling price.


Actually... Not Nexus underpriced. We should say other brands overpriced biggrin.gif They throw in more premium hardware but the price increase is much steeper when compared to Nexus devices.

biggrin.gif Althought touch wiz slows things down but there's some notable features in those touch wiz phone that's very usable and comes in very very handy. For example, multiwindow by samsung. It will be awesome if and only if Google will consider adding multi window straight into Android for all devices or selected devices with certain screen size (> 5" perhaps).

If that comes true, then that's what multitask is. Having to switch between apps through "Recents" just can't be called "Multitask" because you can run only one app in the foreground. Serial processing, not parallel processing biggrin.gif

ya i know, just feel funny when it cant withstand such a "fundamental" things in our daily life. Just like a researcher proudly announce they find a way to block the disease from spreading except spreading in the air tongue.gif

Put it this way...

Do you know what glass is made of?

Glass is made of Silica (Silicon dioxide).

Then... Do you know where can we find Silica?

Sand.

So basically, the most fundamental element in glass is sand. Maybe there's a specific type of sand to be used to make glass. Those tempered glass/corning gorilla glass/dragon trail all has additional chemicals added to make them stronger but their most basic element is still glass.

Since we know metal can scratch metal, rock can scratch another rock. Diamond can be used to cut diamond and can only be cut by diamond. Then... Why can't sand scratch a glass?

It might be a very fundamental thing in our daily life but it's the deadliest for a piece of glass. biggrin.gif

OOps... Sand is not the deadliest because getting scratched is consider small problem compared to cracking it. Gravity force and impulsive force exerted on the glass is the deadliest biggrin.gif
