[Q] Nexus 4 not showing up in ddms for screenshots? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, previously I owned an HTC Sensation and used the ddms screenshot feature alot, however i've just tried to use it with my N4 (all stock) and its not showing up as a device, does anyone know why this could be?

ddms has been depreciated. Try "monitor" instead. Its got a lot more options.

Nice unboxing makes me wish I had a brand new one
Hope you got one from a good batch that let's you overclock as high as you want or undervolt. I will be interested to see what differences you have between the two

I can't believe they send a new 16gb sd card with the replacement. I need to replace mine as well, it has cracks on the top corner of the screen.
Edit: do you have to send a 16gb card back in order to not have a penalty?

No you keep your old card battery charger everything only thing they want is the phone you even keep the old battery back

What he said. They say not to send it back. Just the phone.
Ok, so im trying to root using the same method i did last time. but i cant get the drivers to install completely 4/5 install fine but: CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) is stuck on Installing driver software. Adb says the device is attached, but offline. Any suggestions? Usb debugging is enabled.
Didn't you already have the drivers installed?

I just had mine replaced this week and on low brightness settings the screen seems to have a yellow green tone. Turn up the brightness and the whites are as white as can be. Any issues with your screen on the lowest brightness?
As for over clocking I have had no issues @1300

There's an app that provides such functionality, but I can't think of its name.

N7 isn't in his list of supported models. Probably a very high risk of something going bonkers. Some braver soul then me can be the guinea pig.
EDIT: I have had great luck with the app on my old G2 though.

Already installed drivers for the N4? Using correct data cable?
Even tried wireless solutions as air droid?
But before you do all these things, is your N4 visible in your pc- explorer?
For further questions just contact me. I'm willing to support you.
Try rebooting. That's what fixed it for me lol. You could also try changing USB Storage mode to PTP or MTP from whatever it's on now.

I use FolderSync. I have it scheduled to automatically back up anything I care about every night at 2am. It just happens and I don't even have to think about it. AirDroid also works fine.

That sounds awesome! but I guess you have to leave your computer ON all night, ain't that right?
I just use ES File Explorer and just transfer them to my Windows shared folder on my network. I rarely use USB cables to transfer files at home unless they're massive.

I connect mine all the time to my windows 7 PC. You have to remember that it connects as an MTP device so it doesn't get assigned a drive letter but it should show up as a device that you can explore.
I use Windows 8 and I use the USB to transfere files between the SD Card and the Laptop.
Connect your phone up to pc while booted into android. Now check your PC's device manager for a failed mtp entry.
If you find one I'll tell you how to fix it.

5 USB devices?

Hey guys,
Not that it is a real problem, but I was wondering why my device manager shows 5 USB devices for my Nexus 4, 3 times ADB and 2 times bootloader. Any idea why?
Thanks in advance
It this really that strange that no one knows why it's caused ?

I've never seen that before. Uninstall all your drivers and start over?
Maybe because I installed it using a toolkit? Anyhow, I'll try installing them again
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Well, I investigated the issue a little and found out there where even six devices: 2 bootloader and 2 ADB devices which were always visible but "couldn't be started" and one bootloader and one ADB device, from which one is active when the mode is activated. I deleted the 4 devices and everything still functions well.
Do you have a Linux box anywhere near you? If you do, type "lsusb" into terminal with the phone plugged in. Windows is retarded.
I do have a dual boot with Ubuntu 12.04, but what will that command actually do?

[Q] Help please

Hi there
I just bought a Nexus 4
And I was reading that OTG cable is not Supported -_-
16(12)GB is not enogh for me
Does any one know any Idea? that can help me get more space?
I don't want powerd hub. I need something Small fits into my pockets?
Is there any Small Wiless hdd or something like that?
Please hep!
Well, you either buy the rumored 32 GB Nexus that is supposed to come out next month, maybe, or you could use cloud storage for your stuff, like dropbox.
you could also check this out. works for the galaxy nexus, nexus 7, and nexus 10, so I'm sure it'll work for the nexus 4 as well

Ah I see well this is a better explanation than the NO. I just didn't read well enough. Well tough luck, buddy. You're out of options then
Here is a better explanation of NO
the micro SD kickstarter you just linked is a small OTG device. Meaning it won't work with our nexus 4

Again not feasible as it would not have any power required.
Those cards are designed for the likes of cameras where you don't have to plug into your PC to transfer files off it. As there is no SD slot on the nexus 4. You would require another device with an SD slot to power it
