Camera fx - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So uv only just noticed that the bug eyes and squinty face settings etc aren't on the phone anymore? They use to be on the galaxy nexus and since the update to whatever they've gone. What gives?
That was something I loved playing about with

[Q] Random vertical "black line" flash, not permanent, nor dead pixels?

I've not seen it mentioned, but I want to know if others have noticed.
So far all 3 of my CK60 devices have this. Originally I thought it might have been the app Thumb Keyboard. But my other two without the app display the same.
At about 1 inch from the right side edge of the display portion of the screen, a vertical black line will flash. I've only really noticed it while browsing. Not entirely sure it's not just an issue in Chrome, as I also have the stock ICS browser installed, but only use that to view flash videos.
Each has been unlocked and rooted, it's so random and happens so rarely that I couldn't remember to diagnose it pre-root/unlock..
Anyone else notice this?
Would like to know if something common, before erasing my unit to test clean stock.
I will get the random black line flash on some apps. Such as XDA, and chrome. Doesn't ever happen on a homescreen, or in game or anything.
Don't bother with wiping, it won't do you any good.
Same here. Think it's a software problem.

Thanks for chiming in guys, appreciate it, it doesn't "really" bother me, but it is a "glitch". Good to know.
delete me
Yea I have the same problem also this is the second replacement.... screen flicker on the first now on this I get the screen flicker and lines on CK60 device
I flashed Motleys kernel for the performance but it also got rid of the flashing black line. I didn't really think about until yesterday when I realized I haven't seen it happen in a couple days now ever since I flashed it.

It use to flash on my tapatalk, Facebook and chrome browser but the kernel seemed to fix it.
What are we referring to as CK60

Definitely software.

I noticed it first day I started playing with my Nexus 7.
I also have the screen flickering problem, but I'm pretty sure they are completely unrelated.
Hopefully there will be an update to fix it.
I flashed the motley kernel and it stopped.

Flashing black lines?!?!?
Yep, same thing here. It isn't a huge deal, as it's just a split second flash. My only concern is that it may get worse as time progresses. I REALLY hope Google is working on some patches to address some of these Software issues.
Other than that, I am very satisfied with my Nexus 7, it's an excellent buy!
Google, please, you guys need to really tighten up your SQA department!

Make sure to read the instructions before doing this. It does take care of the black line for me I haven't seen it in over a week now.

Also over clocking isn't needed to get rid of the line flash. It is a nice feature to have. And for the GPU I would suggest the 484... Also be sure to give motley a "thanks" for his work.

I am seeing the same thing on my C70. I also sent in a support request to ASUS and directed them here. Will post back if/when they reply with something useful.
Noticed a horizontal black line flash across the bottom while in portrait mode. Happened while on xda a few days ago. Haven't seen it since

4.2 lock screen bug (music controls)

Is it just me? Or is anyone else having problems with music controls on the new lock screen in 4.2. when I resume a song from play music in the lock screen the the camera gets mixed in with the lock screen and the volume goes to maximum for a second then returns to normal. Its done it a few times now.

Mine just covers the unlock button sometimes, just a new software thing, it will be fixed

Yea that's sort of what mine dose plus the outburst of sound when I've got earphones in

I had this happen just a little bit ago at the gym. It almost seemed like it locked up. I was able to launch Google now and get to the main screen though. Hopefully they add an on/off button for the lock screen widgets, I won't ever use them so it would be nice to disable them.

Disable Lock Screen Camera and Widgets
Found an article by Droid Life about Lockscreen Policy, an app created by Chislon Chow.
Been using it for a couple days. It is free and seems to work perfectly fine. Did not even need root privilege. The effect is not "permanent" in that if you disable/freeze or uninstall it, the widgets come right back, and you'll have to reboot before they can be removed again.

[Q] gnex camera effects on nexus 4

I loved the camera effects for the galaxy nexus and used them regularly. I was just wondering if I could some how get them into my nexus 4

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
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.

Magnification gesture - Keyboard lag

When I turn on the Magnification gestures in the accessibility settings everything works fine except the keyboard. Its very laggy no matter if Im on stock or not.
I would be grateful for any help

I have the same problem :/

Just turned mine on and no issues , anything certain you do to cause this to happen ?
Sent from my Nexus 4
No I dont think so. I've noticed it back in january when I bought the phone. I even had it with my old Galaxy S with every 4.2 rom and my friend has the same issue with his Nexus 4. The keyboard is responsive but very slow. I can live without the gesture but its very annoying because I love that feature.

Well it does appear to cause me allot of issues if it is on while playing a game! (CSR racing)

[Q] Screen responsiveness

Has anyone else noticed lag in responsiveness on the screen while navigating through the phone, especially the browser. I even installed Dolphin Browser and it also lags. The touch isn't instantaneous compared to my Note 2. Could it be bloat ware slowing it down? I did check ram usage and it does seem high all the time.....

Here's my Ram usage only have 4 apps running now.

Ram usage. Haven't rebooted since I got the phone in the store. I never kill apps from recents or clear ram. And no lag at all. Love this phone when with the bloat. at least its organized bloat.

Your almost maxed out too and no lag? What phone are you coming from? My note 2 I never experienced screen lag....
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've had every flag ship phone. S3 s4 note 2 and now note 3. Yes they all lag. But no I haven't had lag yet. When I get a phone I don't restart it. Till after the 14 days. As a stress test. Ive had phones in the past that were broken and random rebooted once a day due to hardware failure.

Is Power Saving Mode enabled within Settings?
Try going to Settings - Developer options and change Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration scale to Off
I played with a tmo n3 and noticed lag, but today I played with vzw and didn't notice any, go figure..

No lag here. It seems more responsive that my N2.

also have an issue with the touch screen. notice it alot when on the browser and trying to hit links. have to press more then once for a response. never had that issue with the note 2. im waiting for a replacement because mine has pink hue on half of the screen on the bottom. hopefully the one that comes on monday wont have this issue. maybe the touch screen issue is because of the pink tint? idk, we will see on monday

I don't have a issue with pink hue or any color problems. I think this browser lag is a bug that everyone has. I went into verizon store for the hell of it and both their model phones had browser lag. Same problem have to hit links several times etc....
