5V output is safe, no matter what A. But be wary that some powerbank actually output more than 5V in order to make it seemed like charging faster. Probably around 5.1V or 5.2V, now that would really hurts your phone.
*
Erm... I didn't read much on this but what I know is... Our battery is normally 3.7V but we're charging it with 5V. I believe 5.1/5.2 V is fine but bigger current is not good because current determines the power. Ya our phone has overcurrent protection but where is the extra current going?

Maybe I should find one day and study deep into this topic. Seems interesting biggrin.gif

FYI, Nexus 4 is using Li-Po, not Li-ion

poor still can buy Nexus 4?  tongue.gif
I sold because it's under utilize, always use iPhone only.
So far Nexus 4 is the most fluid Android phone I've tried.

rolleyes.gif Take current price, Nexus 4 is still RM600 cheaper than iP5.

Students can use rebate if buy from digi, another 200 cheaper. So... yeah... Student can't afford iP5 but Nexus 4.

biggrin.gif

Maybe iPhone does everything you normally do better so you chose to stay with iP5. That's good anyway. As long as you enjoyed!

No fun, my nexus just died of Red light of death. Now charging, hopefully will come back alive tmr. (Went off suddenly with 80+- power, in the middle of call, not rooted).
Plugged in power cable, at first blinking red light (red, dark, red dark in rapid motion), now just flashing (strong red, weak red, strong red, weak red in calmer pace).

Seems like you'll have to hack open your phone.

Oops... People said it will revive by keeping it plugged in biggrin.gif

Anyone tried to use MIUI on Google Nexus 4? MIUI seems pretty, I want to try it out, but worry if anything goes wrong.. Then what will happen to my dear baby Nexus?

So you mean you don't want to be the lab rat?

Anyway, if you read before you do anything, backup the proper way and be careful not to flash a zip file for other devices, you should be fine wink.gif

I wish to know what is the harm if I made a mistake.. My Nexus is not Malaysia Warranty, I bought from oversea. So I worry if I screw something up, it will be very troublesome..  cry.gif

MIUI is not so popular compared to other custom ROM.

It isn't that easy to actually screw a Nexus device. Don't do something unusual to it then you will be perfectly fine.

Why digi so late? U mobile already have H+

Because it's digi?

I'm on digi too. Quite satisfy with their service in the past 3 weeks (yes, only just recently they fully cover my area). Certain area with H+ signal too. Speed now at least 1m, up to 4.5m. Not as fast as umobile/maxis/celcom but at least it doesn't suck that much now.

in my area, DiGi H vs celcom H+ side by side,

DiGi tapaoed celcom. user saturation also makes a huge difference
*
Ya... Celcom service really area dependent. DiGi at least consistent signal (bad then bad, good then good). Celcom signal fluctuates a lot. Can go up to H sometimes down to G (GPRS) in my hometown while digi stable H doh.gif

At least now digi not capping all user to 1Mbps peak. They used to cap to 0.7~1Mbps. Not anymore. Although still can't hit 10M or so like on umobile/maxis, it's good enough for mobile usage. Also I have their smart68 plan at discounted rate so it's quite cheap, cheaper than all other telcos' offering for 3GB quota. Never even hit 2GB usage for the past 1.5 years except 2 to 3 months when I don't have UniFi to use.

Since they improved their coverage, I've been tethering it to my laptop biggrin.gif Nice to have it

when remove the google acc on the phone, all data gone?

then how arrr? i got important sms, n game data leh....
*
SMS is not backed up with Google. For SMS, backup with SMS Backup & Restore.

For game data,
With root: use Titanium Backup/Helium Backup
Without root: use Helium Backup + PC

Google won't backup all game data for you so best bet is to backup yourself.

Actually after syncing (to backup contacts), you can just remove it and add it back. You'll lose nothing. No guarantee but that's my experience wink.gif

Idk, that's why I asked. Someone bought it in mudah, and it's really Satu Gadget. But I kinda doubt if it's really new set. Too cheap. No?

Eh? I thought AP cheapest 1178? But Satu Gadget is selling at 1199. Ori local 1299, bro

Oops... 1099 is 8GB biggrin.gif

I have been using my 2.1A ipad charger to charge all my gadgets faithfully for past 4 years. I believe all modern gadgets had builtin circuitry to limit power input. I have yet to experienced any battery damages.  Those in doubt just don't use n use back original charger that comes with it. My gadgets 99% of time charger n cable is intact when I decide to sell it
*
Probably in a longer term it can damage the phone. The effect on the phone charging circuitry/battery is not instant (unless you supply something too large like... 10A Maybe?) but over a long term, both the charging circuit and battery may get damaged as they get supplied with more power that what they were designed to take or what the manufacturers meant for. It might charge up at a faster rate, also possibly causing more heat to be generated thus shorten the battery life. Not immediate effect so shouldn't be something worrying biggrin.gif Also, the current limit is probably higher than the stock charger rating (ie limit 1.5A while the stock charger rated at 1.2A). When this is the case, the battery is probably designed for charging at 1.2A rate but the circuit cap at 1.5A while taking supply from 2.0A charger. Even though not full 2A gets pushed into the battery, it will still damage the battery.

PS: This is just what I know from what I read + some assumption here and there biggrin.gif

QUOTE(teckyang97 @ Aug 4 2013, 05:50 PM)
As you know that wireless charger have more heats than normal charger,I think the heat makes the battery % lower
*
laugh.gif Sounds logically partially correct but shouldn't be correct. It should be a problem with the wireless charger or his phone since other users here can reach 100% with their chargers (LG/Panasonic or anything else).

how to download all the apps associated with my google account in one go to my nexus 4 ?

cant find the button to download all

It will usually redownload (added to download queue in PlayStore) after a factory reset. No idea how to trigger it though.

Give this a try? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...88&postcount=12

No guarantee it works.

If you use a flip cover, can use those which toggle screen on/off using proximity.

Only some apps affected. Should be their problem instead of our problem. For me, it's Instagram and Chrome Beta that can't be updated. Other apps can be updated just fine. New apps can be installed too.

Guys, I tried many attempt to update from PA 4.2.2 to 4.3, before I restore my backup from titanium backup when I flashed the 4.3, everything is functional, after I restore my backup from titanium backup, the home button won't work, no pie mode, some hiccups, and some problems, is it the rom problem or the backup problem?
*
What did you restored? Don't tell me you restored all system apps also doh.gif

Did you check the box "Exclude System APKs" when you restore?
