[Q] Will swipe to wake be available? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I'm interested in buying a new smartphone for my sister. The trick is that she's handicapped, so one major requirement is either a swipe to wake, or a front home button (like the Galaxy S series has).
I saw that the Galaxy Nexus has the s2w feature and am planning to buy that for her (and install a kernel that has support for PGM Nexus), but was wondering if the LG Nexus 4 might have this feature in the see-able feature (a few weeks from now)?
Thanks in advance

PGM Nexus developer would make it for Nexus 4 if he had the device so lets hope he gets one

Doesn't look like any sweep/swipe 2 wake kernel is out yet for the Nexus 4 though

Few Questions PLEASE ANSWER! :)

Hello, i just wanna know some things about the samsung galaxy s. amd please please answer, because i really want to buy it but im also thinking of buying the nexus one.
1). Hows the vibration? Can you feel it good or do you have to have it on your hand in order to feel it.
2). Can you have the same lockscreen as on the nexus one?
3). Which would you rather get the NEXUS ONE or the SAMSUNG GALAXY S? I really like the nexus one because its fast and everything with Froyo 2.2 and it has an LED but i aslo like the galaxy s because of the 4 inch screen and the 720p video capture.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
I think the vibration is fine but that could be me, I'd go for the Galaxy S in my opinion but the Nexus One is a good phone too, I'm just looking forward to 2.2 on my Galaxy, hopefully soon fingers crossed.
About the lockscreen, i'm not sure you can change it but I'm sure someone will know
Galaxy s is faster. Why move backwards?
Get the SGS, i don't think you'll be deceived.
Nexus one do have the faster update.
But SGS have the better hardware. I think the hardware is more important since SGS will update to 2.2 anyway.
Id go with the nexus one, although on paper ths SGS has better hardware, the UI lags and touchwiz is really boring, brings no innovation whatsoever, and with the nx1 you're guaranteed updates from google, unlike samsung which will probably move on in a couple of months when they have a new flagship phone

Id go with the galaxy S. If you don't like the touchwiz, you can always use launcher pro. And since SGS has a better hardware, it will be a monster when it gets Froyo! Can't wait
PS: If you mean the "connect the dots" lock screen, yes. If you mean the slide to unlock, no(as far as I know).

Will the note 4 have led notifications?

I'm starting to lean towards this after the botched apple iphone 6 announcement, and not that I was expecting to be overwhelmed. I'm starting to really appreciate finger print authentication as I use this on my samsung galaxy tab s. I'm using an LG G3 as my phone by the way and the only other feature I would want on the Note 4 is the knock on knock off.
yup it does

Double tap to wake, slide to wake on Note Series?

Touch to wake should be implemented on nadia kernel keep a watch on the thread.

So happy with my Nexus 6

Well, I am literally just sharing that I am so happy with my purchase of the N6.
I came from the note 3 and before that all my phones were Samsung's. I ALWAYS rooted, and then installed an AOSP ROM. I have always LOVED straight android without all the crap. So I decided since the N6 had a big enough screen I would make the switch. I thought I would lose the better picture quality, but I was wrong.
I love that I get straight updates from google, I love the battery life, I love that I don't even need to flash a new ROM everyday. I have rooted my phone running 5.1(e) build, and installed the mod pack in the themes and apps forum so that I can switch the nav bar layout, enable battery percentage, and enable double tap to wake. I literally have nothing else I need to do to get this phone to where I want it.
Kinda sad that I don't have to flash new Roms all the time because I get bored...but that is not really a complaint.
All in all, best phone I have EVER owned....and I have owned a LOT.
Sorry for a boring post, but thought I would share my feelings.
Exactly same feel here. Very impressed with Nexus 6.
Though I've not rooted my device yet, but I heard Franco kernel is really impressive. Did you tried that?
I haven't tried Franco kernel, thought about leankernel, but trying to see how battery is with my newly installed 5.1e build. When I do, I will update this
Give Franco a try. You will not be disappointed. His kernel and the 5.1 update are killer together.

Do you really prefer it that much more than the note 4? any particular reasons?
Well i just got the nexus 6 and first expression was the speakers like OMG the sound is amazing now i see why you guys like the front face speaker lol. Well i have had this phone for about 3 hours lol haven't even activated it but I'm loving it so far.

again this is just my opinion. both are great phones if you will use the touchpen and the other Samsung features then you will be better off with the note 4. I like pure android ( which you can also get on the note 4 with root and custom rom ) the nexus 6 has about the same footprint as the note 4 it has a bigger screen which I really like. I still have many Samsung products - 7.7 / 12.2 / note 3, and the note 4 which I am selling now - but if I had to choose between the note 4 and the nexus 6 it would be no question for me nexus 6 all the way
Coming from note 3 & found nexus 6 good but not best. I still love Samsung. Samsung do smooth out any bugs stock nexus leave.
For example lots of people complain about nexus 6 battery life, cracking noise in google voice search & ringtones, high intensity vibrations, pink screens etc. My note 3 also running Android L with 7 hours screen on time compared to just 3-4 hours on nexus 6.

I am getting 6 hours sot with my nexus 6 and note 4 you shouldn't compare it to the note 3 which has much lower spec's
You cannot compare a note 3 to a nexus 6 at least have a note 4 to compare

6 hours SOT not bad
Can you pls share ROM, kernel etc you are using

Awesome. I'm on a note 3 now wanting to make the jump. Been waiting since the phone came out.
Might sound like a dumb question, but are all the Roms universal? I'm on sprint, so would I need sprint only Roms? I don't see seperwte sections like other phones have.

All Roms are universal, as long as your are running the correct boot loader. But even that hasn't kept us from running anything. Great phone. Gonna try Franco kernel cause right now I am only getting 4 hours screen on...stock rooted, stock kernel.
Off to download Franco. Thanks everyone for participating!
My last 3 devices have all been nexus devices. Nexus 6, Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus. Did consider the Note 4 but to be honest have never been disappointed with Googles Vision. Its like my cars! Last few have all been jaguars. If it ticks your boxes, why take the chance for disappointment!

Galaxy nexus.....horrible
To those of you that have had / have both a note 4 (preferably exynos for this comparrison) and a nexus 6, how do you find they compare on signal strength, particularly in areas where coverage is not all that good?
I have a note 4, and I find it slightly worse than my nexus 5 for signal strength. .. this is making me think of selling it for a n6
Chalk up another one in the "loving this phone" category. I was still on S4 and waiting for the S6, but when I realized Verizon was about to release the Nexus I had to give it a try. I was concerned about the size a little at first but once I started using it, it's a good thing. I find it much easier to type on, and just use in general. It's beautiful, snappy, and smooth as silk.
Same here, long time Samsung user that switched to the nexus side of things.
Had the s1/s3/s4/note2/note3 and when the new nexus was announced to be a 6 inch beast I couldn't resist either.
Love the dual speaker setup, the screen itself and the fact that instead of 258 apps installed on device it's 128 now (yay for bloat free awesomeness) battery life is pretty good for me and if all fails just hook it up to that big turbocharger for some quick charge juice.
This phone makes me feel the same as when I had my note 2 (note 2 is my fav note in the series imo)
I can safely say I don't miss my note 3 which was my daily phone before this one.

[Q] Nexus 4 giving up - alternatives for replacement?

My beloved Nexus 4 is finally giving up. A vertical zone on the touch screen is no longer responsive and I can't type 'R', 'F' or 'X' on the standard Google keyboard (swedish) when in portrait mode. I guess trying to fix it is not worth the effort, which leads me to the following (possibly off-topic) question: what could be a worthy successor to my Nexus 4 that has served me well for so long? Nexus 5? Nexus 6? Fairphone? Anything else?
