Xperia Z Ultra looks promising. Faster CPU, better camera, bigger screen, thinner profile and simply cooler.

Yes I do. Its a far far better phone compared to the S3!
You did a wise choice.

Trying out latest PA 3.99 with latest faux's kernel

Yeah I guess so. Jz wanna find a good used set to upgrade mine and end up with nexus. S3 and n4 used price are so close. Huhu.

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.

But if really want to buy, better wear casing.

My XZU frame around the dock charging connector already crack. But water resistance function still on.

Suddenly im getting this

The latest PA is kinda buggy
Already stated on the First page of the XDA thread

My maps had a problem. Cannot lock current location. Already clear cache n data for maps still occur that problem.

No Wonder

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 They throw in more premium hardware but the price increase is much steeper when compared to Nexus devices.

Anyone using next browser here?just switched from boat browser to next browser,any idea how to save all my tab last session like chrome and all other browser?thanks

I prefer lower hardware with great optimization just like what iPhone did. They don't need quad core to make things smooth because of their optimize so well.

Nexus is aiming that way. They don't need S800/600 to make thing smooth.

Which have custom navigation button color? CM10.2 or AOKP?

Certainly not on cm, unless you cherry pick them. I think CyanKang might have it, it is the rom compiled by Der_Schubi with cherry picks.

I'm using PAC ROM now and I like how I can change the color but I found PAC ROM is so crowded. AOKP don't have 4.3 yet

To be honest you wouldn't miss a lot if you decide to stick with a 4.2 based ROMs for now. I am still using CM10.1, I rather wait for them to mature a bit more first before jumping to CM10.2.

i'm a guy who like cutting edge/latest stuff

Anyway, what's the big difference between 4.2 and 4.3, when I bought this Nexus it comes with 4.3 straight.

one more thing, the "dark theme" toggle is from CM or AOKP?

nexus 7 & 4 only cheap at those google play enable country.. outside the 5 country it aint cheap.. of course nobody sell at cost. manufacturing cost did not put into account R&D and stuff. u should also count the middleman, the transportation cost, tax, distributor and agent all want money.

nexus 7 are completely overprice here, galaxy nexus are sold for the same price as xperia s, the nexus 4 are a little bit cheaper here in malaysia compared to lots of country and even lot more country never ever get the nexus 4. but still the biggest bang for the buck goes to Sony (atleast here.) the ZL/Z/Zr are marginally more expensive but the spek is far better. for 200 more can get better screen, better camera, sdcard,bigger battery and waterproof..

so even though i love nexus device, but i never own one simply because it ain't the biggest bang on the buck..

I already update the bootloader and radio band when Upgrades to cm 10.2. Can I just factory reset and flash the latest cm 10.1.2 back
