rite now im using CrDroid ROM+AK kernel xcrossing v35=Smooth+performance+gaming (FIFA 14,Asphalt 8,Respawnables & plants vs zombie 2)  icon_idea.gif

Hmmm i see ... then i should try other ROMs then ... looking for neat stable ROMs with good kernels for good battery life and less heat.

I want performance too but i guess if you want good battery life and less heat, stability is all i can ask for nod.gif

i wonder why nexus 4 don't have steel bumper. hmm..

i have compared our lovely Nexus 4 with other flag ships with metal casing and trust me ... you would not have ask for Nexus 4 to have steel bumpers ... it will make our device look cheap ... LOL ... the S4 and HTC One owners was like ... hei why S4 and HTC one dont have such nice bumpers to look premium !

Hmmm ... depending on how the service people see it ... some might just want to earn money and say, the power button could be due to the fall as well ... lol ... if that happens, try to reason with them. If reasoning fail, proceed to say "I want to talk to your manager" whistling.gif

Thanks for ur prompt reply. I tried charging nearly 6 hours & reboot, still the same. Than I opened the back cover removed the battery & reconnected it & rebooted, still no response.  sweat.gif

so fat they say charge for long hours and fix ... i guess your no choice but to go back to service center ... did you root or flash with custom rom and kernel ?

I read somewhere that some users encounting red light of death when charging phone using car charger. Why is this happened? I have bought the car charger + bluetooth ear set when getting the phone yesterday, and now feel doubt whether I should use the car charger to charge the phone when it is low battery %
*
QUOTE(Ajiko @ Oct 21 2013, 04:04 PM)
I read also we should not charge with it when our phone at 0% battery. Or maybe cheap car charger also may cause red light of death.
*
To begin with, we should be charging our phone before it reaches less than 15% or more ... because anything lesser than that will damage our battery. So i wont say it is entirely the car charger's fault. Might be and also might not be or could be both, for example when your battery reaches 0% , it has already done some damage to your phone and the car charger might not be a good one, hence further damaging and phone and tada ... right light of death ... shocking.gif

I am using car charger so far and also bought myself a power bank just to make sure nod.gif

QUOTE(harith_gtr34 @ Oct 21 2013, 07:49 PM)
That is my point...they shouldn't allowed phone to power off when it is locked. What's the point having phone lock if they can turn it off easily.

I use Cerberus so I can track my phone if it lost. If the thief can turn off my phone, how am i going to track it?
*
Well, there is never a perfect solution there, and there are other issues to solve as well if the do not allow the power button to turn off even at the lock screen. So yes he can turn it off, but he will eventually turn it back on and that time, you might , just might be able to trace it. laugh.gif

Erm the overflow app which controls your notification light also controls the sound, so that might help.

Yeah ... i know , that is why i bought power bank and slim slim one some more hahaha ... so i can carry it anywhere and not let it be less than 15 or 20%

i finally uncover the mystery why i cant get 4 hours SOT.. today i just got 4 hours + SOT with wifi + 3g surfing.. its because of the reception. if got good reception, my battery graph doesn't fall so steep, but if i have bad signal, the battery graph will drop very steep. 
in conclusion: umobile has bad reception in my home

I was on PA 3.99 RC1 for a few weeks. Yesterday in the middle of replying to a hangout, it just force restarted and started to boot loop. Tried re-flashing ROM, kernel, and even gapps. No luck. Still boot looping. Kinda lost everything since 4am the day before. Imagine if no backup shakehead.gif

Have since swapped to carbon. Happy with it. Was having like 1-2 force restart daily on PA. None on carbon till now.  thumbup.gif

what kernels are you guys using with carbon?
*
So far no problem with PA biggrin.gif

QUOTE(mizynee @ Oct 23 2013, 04:30 PM)
so far the "common" problem they mention wasnt encounter yet.. i guess im just lucky to get a problem-free N4.. rclxms.gif

and

erm..if you google the phone spec that they review, the reason most of it tat having "better" battery life compare to N4 was because their battery capacity was bigger than N4..

i mean, v dont compare 3100mah battery capacity with 2100mah battery capacity and said the 2nd one having bad battery life.. for example..

just my2cents.. but they do right about the battery life is: it still depends on how the users use it..  biggrin.gif
*
Yup , that is what i was thinking as well. All smart phones have battery life issue. It all depends on how you wanna use it. icon_rolleyes.gif

so LG in Singapore here is charging SGD50 for button replacement i guess.

QUOTE(cowithgun @ Oct 24 2013, 12:06 PM)
- think of ChromeCast as a small portable VCD player with Wifi capability!
- connect ChromeCast into your TV HDMI input.
- use your phone, download ChromeCast app from Google Play
- use the App to configure your ChromeCast (set up the Wifi in ChromeCast)

Now, use your phone to play any YouTube, netflix video, you have option to "cast" it into the TV.

What your phone will do is to send the ChromeCast "link" (via your local wifi) to stream the video from Internet. ChromeCast will stream it and display it in your TV. You can still use your phone to control the playback, like to pause it, etc.

No Wireless Display, etc. Low tech.

Fun.

rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif How much did you get ChromeCast for ? was thinking of getting if to play around ... does it work with Windows laptop as well ??

RM160++ including shipment. will work on any machine running Chrome browser. biggrin.gif
nope. think CM is working on that.

it should not be difficult to make it work, you just need to run a steaming server in the phone (basically just a web server) and tell ChromeCast to stream from your phone. what it means is that you need an app to do it biggrin.gif actually, that's the reason i bought this, wanna try develop some stuff for it.

guys, wta. my phone charging with a peed of a snail. 2 hours charging, went up 35%. I did not use the phone(playing games or turn on data) while charging. Is it normal to have slow charging?

I use the samsung travel adapter, 1A output.
*
Not normal ... either phone hardware problem , apps on the phone that is causing this, cable of the adapter (if it is a separate item) or the adapter issue.

One way to eliminate if phone or adopter+/cable issue is to use another 1A charger to charge your nexus 4 and see whats the result.

I used to use 0.3A to charge my nexus 4 and it takes me about 5 hours to 6 to fully charge it ... rclxub.gif

Hi guys,

Few days ago I posted asking for ur help regarding my 'red light of death' issue.

Thanks guys for ur feedback. I managed to send it to LG SC Kelana Jaya, they got it done in 2 days. They changed a new board. It feels so good to have my baby back,

Now, bring on the KitKat baby!  brows.gif
*
Hahaha ... good to hear that !!! Glad everything is ok. As for what charger to use, our original stated 1.2A , so dont use anything more than that. We dont really look at Voltages and more on amperes. thumbup.gif icon_rolleyes.gif



Anyways, did you guys saw this news ??
http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/25/lte-ena...-bluetooth-sig/

Either they meant there is going to be a new Nexus 4 with LTE or the LTE module on our phone might be usable in the next update .... unsure.gif

Fastest way is copy paste the folder of your picture and songs in your phone to your computer. Usually stored in Picture , DCIM , Music, or other folders that have pictures/music in it. You can also look for notification, ringtone folders if you have anything stored there.

QUOTE(ShengHow @ Oct 27 2013, 10:10 AM)
is it not available in play store?
i found an app named “wakelock detector-save battery"
seem to have the same function

I am using that. It will be much more user friendly compared to the previous one they have suggested. (At least to me hahaha

QUOTE(cowithgun @ Oct 31 2013, 10:29 AM)
comparing bar is a little too vague since apple tends to display higher bar compare to android although the signal strength (-dBm) is about the same.

http://www.metalev.org/2010/07/android-vs-...l-strength.html

next time when you wanna compare, try this:

iPhone:
call *3001#12345#*

that will show the signal in -dBm instead of bars... when you quit the field test app, it will revert back to bars

android:
setting, about phone, status

anyway, iPhone is not some cheap phone... i am admired by their hardware... so, even if their signal strength is better, i m not surprise... i just dont think it'll be a lot of different since nexus 4's MDM9215M should be quite good too.

Yes only way to check on radio power.

You can't rely on feeling itself when it comes to this, cause emotion will cloud your judgement tongue.gif

Not really , depends what you need for a phone. If you need your phone to be smooth and stable, then for Nexus 4. Only con about Nexus is the Camera and Battery.

But if you are using S3, it will be laggy and crash from time to time. I am using Nexus 4 and my gf is using S3 and she keeps on complaining why hang, why crash why this why that lol ... now change to S4 de then better ... hahaha
