I was wondering the same thing myself. I remember seeing this feature demoed on the GN but couldn't find it on the N4.

this deserves some looking into, I wanna see big eyed videos!

Actually with the gnex on 4.2 up I don't see it already. Ever since the camera became similar to the n4 the effects have gone. Either that or I'm doing something wrong because I can't get it to show anymore on my old gnex

I think they took away the feature from 4.2 onward cuz they thought it wasn't worth the gimmick.
But you can try to rename the Gallery2.apk from a Galaxy Nexus 4.1 rom or older and install it to the N4 and see if it work, maybe not though since it might not have the correct camera driver.

Galaxy note 10.1 multiscreen

So I have seen the commercial for the new note 10.1 and its new feature, multiscreen. Is there any way to get this feature on the nexus 7? That's something I have been wanting since tablets have come out, it would be so handy to run two apps side by side.

There was one but it was never really taken up.

[Q] 2 screen?

My question is:
Is there a way to have two things running on the screen at the same time like the s note2. granted i know the screen is not the same size but i do think it is big enough to have the function. and if so how ca it be done????
Sorry that is multiview and that is a Samsung feature. I believe we will never see that on the N4. Dev's are trying to get it to work on S3 and still have not got it.

There a some multiview apps available in Google Play i think. Don`t know if they run on non-samsung devices. Don`t use them myself so i can`t name one.

Not to get off subject, but your signature reminds me of the thing that I miss the most about my s3. Wicked ROM.

I noticed that the lg optimus g has it in the notification bar where you switch by selecting it and fading it out to see the other screen. I've been looking to see if there is something out there that could be flashed.

Is the Nexus 4 the best Nexus to date

Why or why not, please explain.
Go!

This is my first nexus device so I can't really answer your question but I know the nexus 4 blows all the android devices on ATT out of the water.

I like this phone more than my gnex except for not having a removable battery. It's much faster than both of my last 2 phones.

Yeah, I am perfectly happy with the Nexus 4 as well.
Initially didnt intend to upgrade from the Galaxy Nexus, but then that one died a painful, painful death on a Bar Counter.
Couldn't be happier, it feels extremely solid and is fast as hell. With the custom kernels out there you get the battery to get you through the day, I dont need anything else.
I have had the Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus and now the N4. Hands down it is a better device. It feels like a premium device, rock solid with no squeaks etc.
You can keep holding out for better devices, but then you will never buy one! Bigger and better phones are always around the corner.
Besides, the differences now are so small, it really doesn't make sense to wait.

yeah definetely.
had the Galaxy Nexus, and altough I really liked, it doesnt feel like the N4.. and once you have the N4. the GN with that plastic back starts to look like a cheap cell
Im using my gnex while my N4 is charging and yes the N4 feels superior than my gnex, way faster too... The N4 is the best Nexus to date!

Best device I've used.

I miss the curved screen on my GNex. Otherwise I'm very happy to have made the upgrade. There isn't anything I have thrown at this phone which it can't handle.
I have owned all of the Nexi except the Nexus S.

I ask because this is the only nexus I've owned and I think I'll only replace it with another nexus. I came from a galaxy s 4g so yes my nexus is much faster, I like the feel of the custom roms the utility of the phone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Best for me and I always prefer the latest Nexus!
I have actually owned the original Nexus One, Nexus S, and the Galaxy Nexus, and now the Nexus 4.
My top 2 choices would have to be the HTC One, but the N4 is the best with the Nexus S being 4th place.
I've had every nexus phone and it's my personal favorite and objectively the best all around Nexus device.
I do miss the car dock for the Nexus One though, who do we have to kill to get an inductive charging bluetooth car dock for the N4?
I've owned the nexus one, galaxy nexus and now the N4.
N4 gives me the same feel as the nexus one did when I first go it. Mainly "WOW. THIS IS AMAZING." Something that the GN couldn't do. Perhaps it's my samsung hatred.
But yeah, the N4 is by far the best nexus i've ever had.
Yeah it is. But Nexus One blew my mind when it came out. So to me its the best
This being my 3rd Nexus of course it is :good::good::good::good::good::good:

Has any one gone back or still uses there gnex?

Sold mine for this. Not going back. The hardware on the galaxy nexus won't live to see another year I'm afraid.

i use both my n4 and gnex, but keep the sim in the n4.
I loved my GNex but my N4 is leaps and bounds better. I can't think of any reason I'd go back.
Why?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
As fan of nexus series can't see any point to return on Gnex (I had it before n4). Just my opinion.
No.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
No real reason why just asking.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Have both. But N4 is my major, I barely touch my Gnex or Nexus S now
No ways that I am going back
not even in my wildest dreams...hell no
My GNexus died. It was great device, i mean it provided great user experience in spite of really average specs (like very poor GPU). I think optimization in case of ti-omap was relatively more advanced than it is in case of snaprdagon s4 pro maybe due to ti's more open policy. Gnex cannot measure up hardwarewise to N4. It can hardly handle more demanding live wallpapers without lag. Its screen is the biggest flaw -grainy, horrible horizontal banding. But still touch responsiveness and scrolling experience is very smooth. To be honest I preferred stock browser experience on my gnex than the one provided with n4 and chrome. Just pinch to zoom and scroll. Literally, heaven and earth difference. But that's the end of gnex's advantages over n4 I noticed so far. I completely disagree with those criticising our lcd-ips screen. It's awesome! I really don't feel the need for 1080p screen. And... 2 GB of ram + 1,5 GHz x4 krait. Why would I downgrade to Gnex? N4 is all I need

Android 4.3 camera problems (2 so far)

Hey guys,
am I the only one who's not entirely happy with the new camera in Android 4.3.
The first thing i noticed is that many of my photos seem to be a little more washed out than they used to be.
And the second thing: Whenever i take a photo sphere with my N4, the corresponding location is not saved to the picture. No matter if location is turned on/off in the photosphere settings.
Does anyone have an idea for fixing these issues? Or at least for the second one? Or have you noticed similar behavior?
Thanks in advance
I don't have those. For me the camera seems taking better pictures than 4.2.2 and flash seems stronger. But I think camera has become a bit more slow in starting.

I noticed the washed out pictures as well compared to 4.2.2. 4.3 has too many problems. I reverted it back to 4.2.2.

I noticed the wash pics too, 4.3 isn't a big jump, only the colors and touch drivers.

You check these washed out pics on other monitors? It's probably just the colour on your N4, not the camera.
^^ nope. Its not the screen colors. I used PA 4.3 version which has screen calibrated colors.

something I said offended you or unusual?
I trade pics with my wife. She has an HTC One X. Pics she takes that look good on her phone don't look as good once they are on my phone. Pics that I take that don't look so good on my phone look much better on her phone. Colors are more vibrant on her phone no matter which camera was used and colors on my N4 do look washed out no matter which camera used.

I had the same problem with the missing location. Just go to Google settings and enable location access for Apps under the location settings... After that the camera stores the location again..
