Using the provided AC charger in the box.
Well depends from how dead the phone is. My phone completely died, and it took about 3 hours I think to get somewhere over 50%

There's no way any phone or device on the planet takes 3hrs to get to 50%
I'd wait for another response

I believe it takes 3 hours to charge from dead to full according to Anandtech.

Thats sucks majorly as well. :S
Da **** is wrong with google? I thought the nexus S and galaxy nexus were slow charging due to them being samsung phones. This is total deal breaker for me. My friends optimus 2X charges in around 45 minutes, the 2100mah battery does not justify taking more than 3x the time.

Eh?
My ONE X takes 2.5-3hrs from dead, and its 1800mah
3hrs is as expected.

The GS3 charges in less than 2hours so obviously the one X has a messed up charging time as well.

I'll test mine speciifcally for this later but i'm fairly confident most of these posters are crazy, from what i've noticed I'm generally full in like 2 hours.

3 hours is totally normal... I never had a android phone that charges under 3 hours... I wouldn't worry about it.
Maybe the nexus 7 charger will charge it a little faster since it uses 2a instead of 1a?

looks like people who are having charging issues (me included), the charger provided by LG is defective.
I've been charging mine through the wall charger and it says (USB)... it should say AC.. i changed to a samsung charger and now it says AC.
USB charging is really slow due to low amperage compared to wall charging.
The poster who mentioned 3hrs for 50% from a completely dead phone sounds about right for USB charging.
I am totally stock and never done nothing to this bloody thing, done the update yesterday, andddddd it still takes about 30 seconds to turn on and it is still dropping the Internet connection. Let me ask you something, if you bought a brand new car, took it home and from then on it takes over 30 seconds to start it and while driving the engine cuts out now and again, what would you do.

I would first make an intellectually dishonest analogy. Totally.
Seriously, this takes the prize for the most unrealistic and unreasonable complaint of the month. The audacity of a consumer electronics device taking a mind-numbing 30 seconds to boot into the operating system. It should be as instantaneous as simply applying 12vdc to a starter motor despite the fact that booting an operating system is nothing like starting a car.

30 second boot time is decent. Mine takes like 90 seconds on a fresh install, stupid PA 3.0 screwed my filesystem over

First, a car & a tablet are two different things. Second, it takes my N7 OVER 30 seconds to boot. So what's the big fuss?
Rma and get another n7. Sounds like its defective

30 second boot time is normal. Mine has always booted in 30 seconds and I don't have a lot of apps on there, and the device itself is extremely quick.
It's only 30 seconds. Find something valid to complain about.
Also if your routers reception is poor, it's not the tablets fault. Mine doesn't get a good signal from my bedroom because my router is in the living room. One thing I don't do about this situation is come to XDA and complain about it. Why? Because I am not 12 years old.
Why not stop acting like an 8 year old princess. Life will be better.

Maybe your unit is defective, or maybe you should stop thinking everything is perfect, you choose.

Try changing the channel on your router, that helped me with dropped signals(just don't turn off the tablet and then you don't have to worry about the 30 seconds)

Hi everybody, I want to buy one of this three devices (since I have a very old phone now, the galaxy ace), but I'd like to know which one is the most lagfree. The s4 and the htc one are surely faster (even If I saw some videos in which the n4 with custom rom was faster than an s4 with stock rom), but what about lag? Is the n4 really the smoothest android experience? Thanks in advance!
I have not gotten the chance to try the Galaxy S4 but I have gotten to use an HTC One for a few days, I loved the phone but I still feel my Nexus 4 was a smoother experience. The HTC one is extremely smooth and fast though, no doubt.
Sent from my Nexus 4
I've heard that the s4 has some lag. Either way every android phone I had with oem skin on has gotten more and more slow and laggy, my gnex is almost smoother then my s3 by now.. I have no idea why
Skickat från min Nexus 4 via Tapatalk 2
The S4 is very laggy at the moment. I've had both the AT&T and T-Mobile version both lag during leaving apps. Sometime it lags on the home screen while moving through pages.
HTC one i only got to play with for about 30 mins and it was pretty smooth. I didn't notice lag at all. But the nexus with a custom rom is going to be better until someone makes better use of the HTC one and GS4 power.
And for the record the GS4 lag on a custom rom CM10 and Wicked.
I played with a brand new s4 today, only factory apps installed, and imported contacts, and i definitely noticed some ui lag. Nexus 4 is way smoother imo.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The S4 is stupidly laggy for something with such amazing hardware. From videos that I've seen the One seems pretty much as lag-free as the N4, right now the One is definitely the best phone on the market IMO.
Ok guys, thanks for the help! I want the nexus 4 so badly!

I had a play wit ha S4 yesterday. Its almost unrecognizable as an android device. Samsung has done their best to bloat touchwiz up so bad, it almost wont run. Shame for a phone with such awesome hardware to have stuttering and lag like that .
S4 is too much laggy (exynos octa version) because it doesnt have a govenor and I/O scheduler sufficiently smart to manage the low-power and and performance cores.
If you wanna add a wildcard how about the s4 Google edition, all the nexus experience with the Sammy hardware. Unlocked bootloader out of the box. Should be a contender.

I've had my nexus 4 for about 2 weeks and I have yet to experience any type of lag.

I've got a Nexus 4. Zero lag. Very smooth. I've gone into a few different AT&T stores to check out the HTC One and the S4. Every time I tried the S4, the first thing I noticed was lag. I was really surprised. Even a little jittery when swiping the home screen. It's not terrible, don't get me wrong, but it's there. Didn't notice it with the HTC One.
My thoughts are that the HTC One has the highest build quality of the three. There's no doubt, it's the most "premium" and for that reason it makes me want one. It also has the best screen in my opinion. However, there's also no doubt that the Nexus 4 has the best software (both HTC and Samsung ruined their phones with all the unnecessary changes they made) and there's also obviously no doubt that it will get Android updates the quickest and longest into the future, so for that reason I'd stick with my Nexus 4. I also hate that both HTC and Samsung removed the dedicated app switcher button (which I use all the time). The Nexus 4 battery life is a little disappointing coming from an iPhone 4S, but it blows the iPhone away in almost every other way in my opinion.
The best phone "in the world" would be an HTC One that was a Nexus and had the app-switcher button. But, it doesn't exist. So, Nexus 4 is my vote instead.

So I powered off my Nexus 7 last week before I went on vacation and found it completely dead when I tried to turn it on a week later - it would not even turn on. After charging for about 10 minutes it booted up but the battery was at 1% and charging. Initially i though I forgot to turn it off, but then again I was pretty sure I did. Once it charged up I powered it off completely ("Power Off" option after holding down the power button) and left it till 5PM the next day. Once it booted up it showed that I had only 44% charge, that's down from 100% just last night! WTF? It lasts me 3-4 days if it sleeps but looses 66% charge when powered off!? Anybody in the same boat?
It's the government tracking you. (Yes they can track a powered off device)

Cool! Thanks!
Also forgot to mention that my tablet was completely dead when I exchanged because of the touch screen issues with the previous one. The previous one turned on just fine! So maybe it was a bad batch, even though I hope it's not
I'm using GTab 8.9, but I experienced the same thing as the OP, too. I tried switching kernels and this issue went away.

Swapped out for a new unit. Issue solved.
Buying a Nexus 4 after sticking with the Samsung Vibrant for so long. Anything I should know about the Nexus before making this upgrade?
You should be the one telling us what you want to know, hehe.
Get the 16gb variant as it doesn't have a micro SD slot and I find 8gb is not sufficient.

Sometimes the battery life SUXX
Today i got 2h 40m screen on time with some 3G and some Wi-Fi.
On wi-fi only i get 5hours max with custom kernel, under-clock to 1.2ghz and under-voltage.
Just get the Nexus 5. The N4 is almost 2 years old.
No SD card slot, its pure android; don't expect fancy ui design. Not a lot of customization like touchwiz or sense; its simple.

Stock rom 4.4.2, Xposed module and franco kernel r204
If you don't want to get a cover I recommend getting a screen protector for the front and back. This phone is awfully slippery.
I personally have great battery life from my Nexus 4. Stock, Xposed and Franco just like the previous poster. Had a vibrant long ago. If you're upgrading, you will be very happy. Of course, price would be the only reason to take a Nexus 4 over the 5, but you won't be disappointed with either.

Audio mods is a must for N4. And for battery life it isn't perfect, but still pretty good. I've usually get 3 days with 2.5 SoT (moderate usage).
Just sharing my thoughts between Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus... I'll still prefer the battery life and screen of the Nexus 4..... But the fact that my Nexus 4 had approximity sensor is really unnerving sometimes.
