Should I install the ota - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got my n4 replacement. This one obviously doesn't have the ota installed. Question is, should I install the ota? Reason I ask is well, see for yourself.

Hint: the one on the right is the new one.

What was wrong with the first one?

Maybe its because I'm looking on my phone, but I don't really see a difference. The one on the left seems a bit brighter though.

No, don't. I mean who buys a nexus phone to OTA from Google?
That's right. No body.
This thread is promising.

why not? it fixed bugs.

Man you guys crack me up. The left one has the updates and thus the colors are washed out. Just forget I even asked lol. *puts flame suit on*

Now that you point it out, yes it is quite noticeable.
However, what is the point in asking us if you should update? You clearly have both versions right in front of you. Which one do you like more? It's as simple as that...

Interesting. I see the difference. The Verge complained about washed out colours on the nexus 4 in their review but I have seen no difference between the n4 and the gnex personally. Cant wait for custom kernels to allow for tweaking the colours!

Just was wondering if their were more underpinnings to the OTA's then just the december tweak. Anyways, I updated, and boom!, washed out. *sigh*

I have the 4.2.1 and my colors are not at all washed out

Don't know why you're comparing the screens of two different phones. Not all screens look alike

^ Agree. LCD panel at this price is not known, or bought, for color reproducibility.
@OP: If you could kindly make a back up, do OTA, then restore back to see what happens, human knowledge would be vastly expanded

yes, do that then we know its cause of software

I did notice my previous phone had washed out colors. The replacement had deeper colors and I'm much satisfied

EVO HI-RES Motherboard Images

Hey does anyone have a high res image of the insides of this phone, more specifically the motherboard? I would like to find a nice hard vmod to get high processor speed just as a proof of concept.

Maybe should be in the Q&A?

Mostly though, really should have put a question mark at the end, because it's pretty misleading. I came in to SEE said images.

I know I'm just messing with ya. The title is misleading though.... Btw anyone know what happened to them cool x-rays someone took of the Evo? I went to the thread but it doesn't show the pics for some reason. Wanted to make a background out of one.
IIRC, the guy wanted to start charging for them so removed them from the thread.

OP, iFixIt has a tear down of the EVO posted.
The only high-ish res images I could find were on iFixit. I've taken what they had, edited out the colored boxes around each component, then cleaned it up a little. It's not perfect, but hopefully it helps.

Me Too, would love to buy one
I need to get more of the green and be more than willing to make some. Not using the forums to make money though or advertise (just making that clear).
I have more designs im working on. Share them this weekend.
I'd also be interested. Can't wait for your other ideas!
Thanks guys
Sweet, I wouldn't mind seeing the blue Honeycomb bee.

I hope you decide to make these available to the rest of us.
Seriously, I think these would sell well, not just for the XOOM. I wouldn't mind having one of these on the rear window of my car!

Damn..killing me guy! Ha, Kidding. Like I said...doing this for fun. Not taking anyone's thunder.
I like Aaron's Android better. The ones deadmouz linked look too green and too glossy. Aaron's is easier on the eyes and matches the matte finish of the XOOM much better.
Created a little site. Had too many people emailing me wanting to order.

Made the jump

Well guys it has been fun I made the jump tongue 3vo and have to say it is an amazing device. I have been sceptical about everything worrying if the 3d was a gimmick or worth it. I compared both phones side by side and the colors were way better and looked sharper. You could tell it had some power under the hood as the phone easily handled everything i threw at it . I have enjoyed flashing custom roms and look toward doing the same as you all know one flash and your hooked. Today I will test its legs fully with the battery and gaming. See you on the other side.

It's in my nature. Starting a thread in the EVO 4G General Forums to announce that you got the EVO 3D is a cool story, that is why I posted it.

You fail at fail, it's meant not ment, what's your excuse? Also, he was using his phone which tends to auto correct horribly at times.

The pic doesn't really give off the true color, I noticed these new "pearl" colors are hard to judge just by a mockup, get the real feel when you see it live.
But I'm still with you all, I don't think it's gonna be a great choice for me, not my taste..
Isn't this the Photoshop mock up posted on the other thread??? I believe it is.

Am I the only one who thinks red looks somewhat nice?...
"All this knowledge is giving me a major brainer!"
Looks like a pretty obvious and badly done mockup if you ask me..you can pull this off with a few sliders and what not. Lol.
Look at the status/notification bar. It took on a red tint..so yeah, obviously edited. It's not the real thing. Just something quickly made in Photoshop or whatever.
I'm not hating on the possibility of a red GSIII. It might actually look good..I can imagine a metallic crimson (dark red) or something would be appealing to some people. I've seen phones with that kind of color in real life and they do look pretty nice.. If it were a plastic-y red though then that might make it look just awful
haha while the pic was loading, I read all the replies, and I was wondering how eww it could be, but i get it.. it's ewww.
They should go with pink color instead

Nexus logo faded?

Looking at the back of the 6p (aluminum) and noticed that the NEXUS logo is faded. The N is the most faded, the E is a little darker. Finally all the way to the end, the S is the darkest.
Is this fading by design?
On my aluminum, if you look from an angle it does look lighter but it's uniform. No specific individual letter is more faded than another. If yours is fading it could be bad manufacturing.

I have 2 aluminium units and the logo on the 64gb is visibily more faded than the one on the 32gb. I'll post pics tomorrow.
OMG, you're going to RMA your phone simply because of a fading nexus logo???
Good luck on gambling for a ' perfect ' phone.

You just said it with your own words. "Fading Nexus logo."
Printing isnt up to par. My worry is whether itll get worse over time. Thus affecting the resale value when I want to unload it later.

Could you please post a picture if you still have them? I think my 64 Aluminum came with a faded logo as well...most people probably wouldn't notice it, but mine doesn't look as dark gray as some other Aluminums I'm seeing. It looks more like a light-medium gray with a tannish hue to it in certain angles/lighting.
