Why is the Vibrate so weak - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I have noticed that the vibrating function is too weak and also on a Custom Rom.
Does anyone have a fix to this?

Most custom kernels can increase the vibrate strength, not sure if you can do it on stock kernel.

currently running Jellybear ROM

I agree, I miss 90% of my notifications while on vibrate so I've started just leaving the volume really low so I can barely hear notifications. This is about my only complaint with the phone and easily something I can live with.

Download Trickster Mod and see if there is an option on there to increase it. Easy way to see if your kernel supports it.

Thanks will try changing it there and see if it works

The N4 and the GN both use linear oscillator vibration motors, which are less violent and noisy than the rotating out of balance weight design that that older phones (and the iPhone 2G/3/3G/3GS/5) use.

Did this work? Rooted or unrooted?

[HELP PLZ!]IM app message push issue

Hello Guys! I need some help plz
I'm from asia and I like to use WeChat to keep in touch with my friends(whether you guys know it or what, this app is popular in mainland of China)
Here comes the problem: new message wont be pushed to my Nexus 4 after I locked my phone for a while.
I'm doing all kinds of tests these days. I finally reflashed the factory image yesterday. After flashing the image I did nothing but install WeChat.
Then I logged in and locked my phone and waited for 15 minutes. No interrupt during this 15 minutes. Then I used my iPhone to send a WeChat message to my nexus 4. NO NOTIFICATION......the notification came out after I turned on the screen and unlock the phone. WTF:crying:
By the way, my nexus 4 connects to my wifi all day long. I've already turned off the wifi optimize and I chose to keep the wifi connection when the screen turns out.
I also noticed that when I locked my phone for a while and turn on the screen, the signal icon is grey. After 1 or 2 seconds it will turn blue. I know the blue color means the phone is connected to Google. So I guess the phone will disconnect wifi after locked for a while? I have no idea about it...
Other IM apps seems having the similar issue... I dont like to miss my friends' message and keep them waiting...
Can you guys help me out? Thanks!!!

Cant install antutu

hi all,
I'm currently unable to install antutu benchmarking app on my nexus though I was successful doing so with other apps.
Could you please help me figuring out this one?
Tried to do some wipes but to no avail.

let me ask the obvious.. how much space do you have left in your storage? i believe antutu needs you to have at least 300mb left, if not more, so it can run the write/read tests.

antutu doesnt brick phones. the n4 has an issue with the battery, how its read(red light of death). heat can bring it on. the only role that antutu plays here is that it can produce high heat if benching high cpu speeds.

[Q] S4 Actkve Sim Unlock? Service mode Menu

Can the s4 active be unlocked with the service mode menu?
anyone knows?
Seriously, you guys need to add your device to your user profile. Going to be hard to get help otherwise.

If you read the title of the thread you can clearly see that im asking for the s4 active, thanks.
Been trying to do this using the servicemode method everyone is describing for the S4.
Phone will not go into the UMTS menu mode as described.
Some have said that a recent update killed this method?
Yes. I cannot get into the service mode. The phone reboots.

Did it stop working after you dropped it, or after flashing 4.3/4.4

The latest (21-23) CM nightlies don't have call audio, and if you messed with you boot loader/radio, that may explain your WiFi issue...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Try restoring the 4.4 factory image from google. That'll fix up any bad radios and roms. If it still doesn't work, something's wrong and you have to return it.

Which app/process/package makes this nag screen?

For the last few days I have been getting this annyoing nag screen regarding battery and I can't figure out how to stop it. I need to get rid of it, please help!
Have a look at the settings in the battery section or power saving.
You should be able to disable it depending on your rom

That was the first thing I checked and it isn't there. There is a separate battery nag screen I also get, this is new.
What Rom you are on? And what you are expecting to do with this notification?

I am on stock rom. I would like to freeze to process somehow (package diabler?). I already did it all once but the thing is I don't want to do all. I want the notification to be gone. What is interesting this thing doesn't show up on screenshot if I take it.

What do I do with it? I still don't know where this nag screen is coming from.
It's a power saving notification which is a part of the system, now I can't remember where, but try to find a notification settings on your phone. Perhaps you will be able to disable it there

I diabled pop up window in battery settings. The only thing I could find that looked like it could be it. It wasn't.
I think it was Peel Smart Remote doing this.
