Should I get one? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I'm looking for a new phone (coming from a gs2 skyrocket) and I was wondering if I should get a nexus 4. Could someone give me some pros and cons to this phone please?

it is excellent phone superfast and super reliable
bloddddy sexy tooo
using it is a joy coming from galaxy s2, xperia s and iphone 4s
only problem is it doesnt have physical home button like galaxy s2 or 3

I suggest you use the search function. There are hundreds of threads about the pros and cons. There are also multiple reviews to be found on the web.
Pros
- Cheap
- Vanilla Android
- Updates for at least 18 months)
- Great developer community
- Cheap
- Really cheap
- Nice screen, fast, whatever
- Great design
Cons:
- Only 8GB/16GB storage, no SD card, no USB OTG support (all storage related)
- Fragile design (just don't drop it on concrete. or bite on it)
- no LTE
- no way to actually buy it
We need more information. If you want to know about specific things, just ask. But we can't really do anything with "give me the pros and cons" other than to say what has been said a million of times.

Sorry, didn't mean to be a noob. I shoulda known better.

Nah, it's alright. Forgive me if I sounded harsh. It's just that I think us listing some pros and cons won't really help you. I suggest you read an extensive review from gsmarena or android police. What's also great is to just look through thread here at XDA. Just read. Go look in the development section, see what they're up to. Go to the Q&A section to see what the common problems are. Go to the general section for opinion or maybe to see how the battery life is. If you do these things, you really get to know the pros and cons, and you can make a good decision.

You're right. But still. Just go to the general section or scroll through this section and you can find tons of pros and cons.

I think the biggest issue I have in general with the N4. I came from a Galaxy Note and I miss those buttons (back/home/search) on the bottom of the screen and not part of the display. It isn't a deal breaker by any means, but if given the choice I would prefer a setup more like the SGS3.
Would I trade out for an SGS3 for that reason? Nope.
IMHO:
Pros:
No extra Samsung, HTC or whoever software. No carrier crapware.
Quad-Core / 2GB RAM
Wonderful screen, Feels nice in the hand.
FAST.
Updates when Google finishes them.
Qi charging (if you can find it)
Cons:
No removable battery.
No SD Card slot.
Speaker slot on back is flush with the screen. Lay the phone down flat and sound is nearly muted.

I love the whole no hardware buttons on the phone. So thats a plus for me. I'm thinkin' as soon as I get the money together I'm gonna buy one.

Whose considering a Synapse Phone

With all N1 alternative threads, I'm surprised I haven't seen the synapse phone mentioned more, so I thought I would start a thread
I am quite heavily considering it. Tho I think I wanna wait for series 2, just to make sure custom rom community is there. Being rooted and unlocked bootloader from factory. But I think I should buy one to ensure there is a series 2
So who else is considering one of these synapse phones? To maybe replace their N1

wtf how cheap is this phone to start with? They're charging you extra for the most basic smartphone features...like a 3.5 mm jack!
*edit*
just modified my phone to personal liking, almost $900!
Read the remarks for a good analysis:

Not going to happen.
So not a scam, but prob not gonna happen considering company resources

Man that seems like such a good idea....
The first day someone posted about it on gizmodo or something, I went and looked at the prices. I "built" a phone using all of components that would put it above similar phones spec wise, it was going to cost about $900 USD.
Considering I spent my entire summer savings on my Nexus One ($580 + ~$20 for screen protectors, case, etc = $600) It's not necessarily a good or bad value. If I had that type of expendable income, I would totally go for it!
The concept is cool though - make a phone that caters to your needs. I wish an American company would try this! Maybe Google? "Nexus 2 - Have It YOUR WAY!"

hahahahahaa. Somehow, equating a $500+ phone to fast food just doesn't leave a good taste in my mouth. lol
It's an interesting idea - I won't be in the market for a new phone until September 2011 so will keep an eye on them until then. That should be enough time for them to succeed / fail.
I like the idea of a 3 year warranty..
sounds like a good idea, but they are being jackasses, 256mb of ram as the basic mode want more ram? well pay up, which is just plain 2008 or wifi, 3.5mm as options when these are basic necessities for a smartphone.
Seems more like a dream idea than an actual production device

Alright I'm bumping this thread up just to show everyone there's a better alternative to the Nexus S.
And the website is pretty much working for me now. Though there's no option for me to preorder yet, but I'm more excited about this than the other phone.

If this true I will buy one for sure...just wanna see some in the wild and read some reviews...I will most def pass on the Nexus S

Prices are not that awful for what I need, I end up at 500 or so USD

I'll see how it gets when they start actually selling the phones...it's an awesome idea honestly, I just hope they succeed! Go germans go
3 years warranty? Amazing if true. That alone is worth it! And finally a xenon flash for an android phone.
Custom spec phone?
I would say you're on your own as far as custom ROMs go...?

Living with the Galaxy Note: Thoughts After 5 Days

Friends,
I thought I should share this review video I came across. I have gone through so many galaxy note reviews, but this has been straight up the best. Really feel connected, and I think a lot of the galaxy note current users who love the phone would connect with the review a lot.. and those who are still thinking of buying a Note, definitely check it out.
Excellent review but you should have posted it in the review thread, I can smell the Ganja...
Interesting. I've come to the stage with the SGS2 where I need to gift it to my partner & get a new phone, it being a bit small now it seems to me. I've wondered about the SGS3 but that may not be a lot bigger, 4.65 rumor? So bottom line, the Note is really OK for everyday use?

It is an awesome phone. I've had mine for about a month mine. Switched from an iPhone 4S. Took me a while to get accustomed but after trying multiple roms and kernels, I now don't think I'd go back to the 4S.
mine arrived yesterday, and its a great device, other than I am still wiping drool from it..

lol.. .. I'm agree on that part, at 1st people around us will think it's weird, but when they tried it, surely they will impress with the bigger screen..:good:
Pretty good device still, but you'd be better off getting yer mitts on a Galaxy Note - way better hardware and screen, more user support and CM10. Always thought the DS5 was pretty moody - mine would spontaneously factory reset every month or so.

Cheap knock-off phones?

Hello members, so i was reading about the GooPhone that is supposedly patented with the Iphone 5 design in China. They are apparently ready to sue apple once the phone is released.
Anyway it led me to a site that has android/windows/blackberry devices.
Now they seem legit, have looked around and seen that there are some reviews, only negative comments are about the long shipping.
My question is, has anyone here ever ordered from this site.
http://www.fastcardtech.com/
I was interested in maybe ordering a device playing with it for a while, then maybe sending to a dev to see if the components would match that of its US counterpart to see if custom ROMS would be able to be installed.
So please read, look, get interested, and chat about the site!!!!

If she really doesn't do anything on it then I would get out for her because 512mb of ram is the same a an IPhone which has fast enough speed for every day tasks not sure if she will need more than 4GB of space but there is a microsd slot up to 32GB so that might help 1GHz processor is beyond overkill for what you said she does so sure why not!

After some careful research, and some digging into chinese forums. These phones are complete fakes.
It seems that they may not ever make it stateside. They also have IMEI problems, so they may work for a week, but after that they seem to start having disconnect problems. Also looks like the GPS will not work, being that it is based in China satelittes will not transmit here.
I almost bought one today, like 3 times, but after more and more digging, I have decided not too.
This seems to be a complete scam. There are a bunch of sites claiming fraudulent accounts among the site as well.
What seemed so nice quickly slips away.

Ouch... Buzzkill... Guess I should've done a little more digging before posting those sites. BTW, do you have any reference links?
I first went on www.fastcardtech.com/forums and was reading the results of users. Alot sounded pretty upset. Although there are not very many replies, there are some feedback.
I asked a question about a device, and then asked the same question again 2days later, and got a different answer. I will do it again, and get a screen shot so that I can show you all. There was another forum in XDA about the site, there are some saying its legit, others not so much.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561534
Will post back with more.
I am still considering ordering one, just havent decided yet. I know as soon as I do that they will announce the Note 2 for Tmobile.
I have found a few more credible sites, there is,
www.koobay.com
www.exportandgo.com
Upon searching the fastcardtech site brands devices to companies that dont actually have these devices. For instance, I have found the HDC (china phone maker) and they list their products, then you reference the FTC site and there are thousand of HDC branded devices that are not actually HDC brand!
I've seen an apple S4 by them. The screen res is terrible.it had virtually no memory. Build was terrible. Do not waste your money. I'm sure no rom with work on them.

any of these knockoffs will not work with any of the regular roms, you would have to make a rom for that knock off device model.. as you can imagine without a lot of people owning them your chances of getting a good rom is slim.

For ROMs - go to development section and that will answer that. There are 5+ battery life threads as well as endless amounts of reviews with pros cons. Not trying to be a prick, but good Lord there are pages and pages of threads on these forums to look through that have all of your answers.
Read the forums fully and make your decision.
There are/have been Multitouch issues (resolved for some, not for all) , gps issues (resolved for most), random restart/reboot issues (not resolved). There are other ones that I have likley missed but these are the ones that seem to consume most discussions still.
I want to love the N7 but the random restart issue is a pain for me.
The HW specs are awesome, the price is great but there are still bugs. This fall there seem to be many many good devices coming out but this is the best price point.
If I hadnt purchased it I would personally consider the LG 8.3 Tablet at a higher cost.

I fail to see how your sexual preferences in meeting guys at the pub remotely relates to being called out for a clearly entitled and lazy attitude toward doing a very basic search that anyone with half a brain could perform in thirty seconds.

This was a simple question. I know no one wants my opinion, but everyone needs to calm down and keep it light in here. We read these topics in the forums here to relax and learn more about our techie toys - not to get all stressed out regarding comments and whatnot. Just my 2 cents.
I bought the N7 myself and I never had ANY issue with it that some users have described. It's super fast, the screen is beautiful, fits nicely in my hand (unlike some others like the note series), plays games nicely, movies look great on it, etc. I could go on, but suffice to say, I'm pretty happy. I bought some cases, accessories on eBay and am a happy camper. Let us know what you decided.
I haven't had any of the common problems yet, not even the random reboots, but I only bought mine last week in a Curry's in the UK so perhaps it's a newer hardware revision than the ones with multi-touch problems and the like, I don't know enough about the cause of the multi-touch problems to say that for sure.
The only real gripe I have is with YouTube - fullscreen quality is atrocious, nowhere near 1080p, and on such a high resolution device it just looks rubbish.
Thanks for replying, the 16GB version I was reading upon says there suffering slow downs on only 3gb left in storage is this a common problem, and is it a small bug that is likely to get ironed out thanks.

I wanted to buy a N7 (2012) first, changed my mind though after having read the news about the latest modell and waited instead This device sure has some bugs but in my opinion it´s worth the price. Though you may see some weird multitouch behaviour while using test tools ( and eg. more than 5 fingers ), you can still use it without noticing any problems.
I did not experience any random reboots ( I´ve debloatet the Stock ROM and removed Chrome and everything I don´t need ), the battery life is ok too ( depending on how you use your device, 7h screen on without any problems ).
Sure this device has some flaws you may have to live with but considering the price you had to pay for it, it´s still worth the money and hopefully Google will provide us with some bugfixes...sooner or later.
The main reason I bought this device was the fantastic display ( 1920x1200 on a 7" display... you will have a very hard time if you even try to spot a pixel.. )

U should know that 16gb doesn't actually offer u full 16gb. Actual storage will be around 13ish gb.
