Please forgive me if this has been posted. I tried searching and found endless unrelated posts.
My Nexus 7 is also on 4.2, but when I adjust the volume, I have the option for expandable volume selection. I can't seem to do this on the Nexus 4. Is this just not an option, or am I suffering from brain cramps? Thanks in advance!
Does your Nexus 7 run CyanogenMod? That's a feature of CM10 and 10.1 so unless your Nexus 4 is running that as well....?
Pretty sure that's the default behavior. Don't think you can get expandable volume on the phone unless you root.

No, my N7 and N4 are both stock rooted, so I'm not sure why the difference. But it's there.

I'm with you and with same exact setup and I'm totally missing the expandable volumes feature on my n4. I want to be able to set alert volumes independently. Odd that it's on the n7 and not the n4.

You think that's bad. You know how you can have the N4 long press for numbers on the keyboard. You can't with the N7. It's madness!

Both my Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 are bone stock. There is no volume expansion on the 4.

I have to bump this thread even if is pretty old.
I can't find a way to add this feature to the stock android 4.3 and since I just bought the Nexus 4 I would like to avoid flashing it already with the cyanogenmod only for this feature ^^

Hello guys.
I don't know if it is just me but I can't see a big difference between medium and max bright, you obviously can tell it changed a bit but it's not like other devices I've had before, although the difference between min and max is way bigger, just wanted to know if this is a normal standard thing or some kind of issue. Thanks.

Can confirm that. A bit weird that the other half of the slider is like doing nothing. Its like the volume slider on the galaxy nexus.. After the half, the music won't go noticeable louder... Weird... Maybe a 4.2 problem idk..

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
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
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.
Hey guys, I've got a nexus 4 coming tomorrow and I am really excited! However, there is one thing that kind of scares me... Do the on-screen buttons take up a lot of screen space? Also, what is the best way to deal with them.
Thanks in advance!

No, they don't use much space. Some people like to use the PIE instead, I personally turn on expanded desktop on CM10.1 and downloaded a gesture control app. Works pretty good, esp. because I didn't like the PIE
Haha mine is coming in tomorrow too! Along with the wireless charger and cases I bought off of Amazon!

Theres not really a "best" way.
Why not just use "fastboot flash recovery" to install it? Its probably the most efficient and direct way to go about it.

The size and alignment of on-screen buttons is perfect with respective to screen size. However, you can change their size also after rooting the device.

T-Mobile lied to me... T_T
They said it would be coming expedited next day but they sent it ground shipping... Won't be here till Monday or Tuesday! Lame.
I prefer the navigation bars over pie. If you use a custom rom with the feature then you can adjust it's size so it appears smaller on the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Flash a custom ROM and adjust the size of them. I personally think the size of the Navbar on stock is hideous, whenever I compare my phone to my friend's stock N4 I think that mine just looks so much cleaner with less black space at the bottom of the screen. 70% works perfectly for me, not too small but not intrusive either.
Just got mine today! Love it so far!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
The screen buttons are about a quarter of an inch, which imo is fine. Coming from an s3 I prefer on screen buttons over physical buttons any day and will be a deciding factor in buying any future phone.
Yeah on screen a really more responsive in my opinion. Find myself only having to hit them once unlike my s3.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks guys for all of the info, really excited for my phone to come... Coming from an HTC One S right now and I really like being able to have my recent apps key double as menu on short press and recent apps on long press... Would that be possible with the onscreen buttons?
Sorry for the double post, just wanna say that it arrived last night and I couldn't be any happier on a work day. XD
I don't find them intrusive at all even on the default size, but then again I migrated from an 800x480 phone, lol.
They also auto-hide when playing videos - tapping the screen during the video brings them back again for a few seconds.
Flashing a custom ROM is great for customizing the buttons and what they do. I find that I prefer a menu button over having to hunt for a 3-dot overflow, and I also find a search button useful for quickly bringing up the address bar in the browser so I can type a URL. So thanks to CM10.1 I was easily able to reconfigure the onscreen buttons - I now have Back, Home, Menu, and Search from left to right. The Menu button doubles as a Recent Apps Switcher when longpressed.
What is annoying though is that they are easy to accidentally hit when using apps in portrait mode. I have inadvertently exited Carmageddon many times to my extreme rage :/
Just got my g2 this am and its not that I'm disappointed I just don't know if its worth the full retail I paid over my nexus4. I'm moving to India in a few months so lte does not really matter to me.
Anyone come from a n4 to the g2 and have any insight on what you are enjoying more about the n4?
*not a fan of the lg skin but figure its just a matter of time till we have aosp roms.
Picture comparison between the two

I am considering the same thing. Can you post pics of them together? I may wait for the nexus 5 but think i like the buttons on the back and bigger battery. I hope the bootloader is able to be unlocked.
Sure give me a few and I will grab some pictures.
Overall the nexus feels better in the hand to me, love the back glass feel, I don't mind dealing with stock for a couple weeks as long as that bootloader becomes unlockable and we get some aosp action.
Re: the buttons on the back, I don't mind em one bit and actually like em but I don't use volume up/down much on my phone anyway.
My phone is on back order, but I'll be giving my wife my Nexus 4 so I can't comment on that decision, but I'm definitely keeping the G2 for myself. I played with one for a few minutes and I'm sold.

Thanks!! Really loving the bezels. I see you hide your onscreen keys on the Nexus.... Decisions, Decisions. I may wait to see if the new nexus is based off of this.
I've had a nexus 4 one and s4 in the last 6 months and now g2.. loving the g2, screen is better on the g2, way better battery life, snappier processor better camera.. Also aosp Roms will come in time... That said I will undoubtedly get the next nexus as I'm a gadget junkie.

I had them all too, but I find myself back with the nexus. Mainly for the simple things. I love the onscreen buttons and cyanogenmod mms with the quick reply and functions. I would love the battery life and better camera though, .
Wow they really are close in size! The nexus screen looks great with the buttons hidden. Does the G2 not allow 3rd party wallpapers appear behind transparent notification bar and buttons at the bottom?

Hi there
First some specs:
Nexus 4
PA3.99-RC2
Franco.kernel.plus 188.
SuperSU root
Latest gapps
I have tried asking in the the Paranoid Android Google+ discussion forum, but no useful answers yet. This is x-posted in general Q&A forum as well, to see if other devices also have this.
The problem:
When I use my phone I get random glitchy/clicky sounds from the top speaker (I'm pretty sure it's from there). It's a very quick glitch/click, and then it stops. It doesn't happen in a specific pattern, meaning that it's not like it comes whenever I press the back button or anything - it just happens sometimes. Sometimes more often than other. When I try to recreate the sounds (tapping a lot of menus, settings, apps, etc.) I find it difficult to recreate. It is REALLY random, perhaps mostly after I haven't used my phone for a while, and I turn it on!
Have anyone tried this, and knows a solution? It didn't annoy me at first, but now it really does.
As far as I remember it started when I upgraded to PA3.99. However, I have tried RC-1 and RC-2 and I have also tried stock kernel, Hellscore kernel and different Franco-kernel versions.

Just like you, I've noticed the noise but it sounds to me like its coming from the loud speaker. It doesn't happen that often and its hard to reproduce the sound (like you said). By the way I'm complete stock/unrooted with a lock bootloader. Hopefully its a software glitch and not hardware since the speakers don't sound busted.

Okay, it sounds like it could be the same thing. I don't think my speakers are busted either.. I guess the sound would come more often if that was the case.
It could be from the loud speaker.. Because it's so hard to reproduce, I can't really test it.
I would just love for it to go away.
Unfortunately I've never tested this phone with any other ROM other than 4.3 (Jwr66y) so I don't even know if it's a software glitch. Hopefully it is though.

Since we're experiencing what seems to be the same thing; I would think it most likely is a software thing. But I don't understand why - and why there isn't more people reporting this.....which makes me think I've done something wrong, hence the cry for help
Maybe some people don't notice it. It's not that much noticeable. The first few times I heard it I thought I was hearing things.
