Smashed Nexus 4 Screen Help needed - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hope someone can help me. Ive just completed 120 mile cycle ride tracking the ride with strava. About 60 miles in I dropped my phone & smashed the screen. Touchscreen useless & will not work, but phone still working fine. I want to gain access & control my Nexus from my laptop so I can stop Strava & upload ride and also just use it generally for texting etc.
Ive tried this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/42491/how-to-remote-view-and-control-your-android-phone/
but its not seeing my device. My device is not rooted & Im not 100% sure if USB debugging is turned on.
Thanks in advance for any help

GPS Sport tracking

Hi there!
I have problem with Sport Tracking. When I pull my |Note to open surface, everything works great. But for biking, I am puting it into back pack pocket of cyckling dress, and maybe this is the problem. Tracking work for a few minutes and then stop (Endomondo, Sports Tracker, Runkeeper). Similary Nokia E52 have no problem. Have anybody the same problem?
A little test - on open space have 18satelites, most of them in green. When I take it close to body and covered by hands - 14satelites and 2 in green.
I've used my Note a few times with MyTracks and Glympse. The phone was in the inside pocket of my jacket, I was travelling by bus, train or walking and had no problems with registering the track for 30-60 minutes.
I don't know... I just came back from a 40 minute jog with it in my back pocket (using Runkeeper), and the path/distance were tracked properly.
Same here - I use Runkeeper all the time and it works perfectly.
So is it problem only of my device? Or of me
As I said - normaly 18 sat, fix in 5sec, aGPS every 6hours. But tracking only for a few minutes. (no root, Android 2.3.6 LA6)
Same problem here, w/root & LC1, tracks with Endomondo for about 23-30 minutes, before it just stops. Turning the gps on and off resumes the tracking. Strange, irritating stuff.
maybe you're running too fast for the GPS to track? this often happens to usain bolt.
I wouldn't complain if that was the case
No, I just went for a leisurely stroll, occasionally north of 6 km/h.
I've tried reinstalling a stock rom, will see how that plays out. If it doesn't work, I guess I'm back to the old trick of running GPSTest in the background.
Hapy not to be alone
Will try you trick. I hope, it will be functional.
Sharp2G - good joke - I´ll try to ride slowly
I'm on stock and use MyTracks everytime while cycling.
I never had a problem except yesterday when the app thought I climbed 30000km+ mountains in a few seconds.

Ive made a few 1.5hr runs using it with no issues in endomondo.

I'm really curious as of how do you guys are able to run with the Note, my SGS2 died on me last week (my fault) and I'm being offered a Note as replacement or wait 1 month for another SGS2. I decided to wait because I thought it would not be practical to run with the Note, but if you are doing it with no problems, i might just pick it up today!
Heh yeah.. my back pocket is just the right size (so it's not loose) and has Velcro closure. If not for that, I wouldn't have tried it.
I run 3 times a week with the Note usually 3-4 miles at a time and recording it with sportstracker pro. I have had one incident in the last few months where it failed to hold lock but it has been very reliable otherwise.

So the trick works! Great! I used GPS Status instead, but it works! Thanks!
Maybe, my problem was/is, that I am puting my Note into back pocket and have backpack too. On the open country it never minds, but in forest is harder to catch signal. BUT- other devices haven´t problem and as I know, Note is good for GPS hardware. SO - there is something wrong with software or compatibility with tracking aplications.

[Q] Nexus 4 is not recognized via USB

Hello everyone,
I know the name of my issue have discussed and maybe have done solving in many topic, but I believe that my problem is different.
I referred the topic Nexus 7 not recognised when connected via PC which was nearly identical to my problem. Not only my nexus 4 is not recognized by PC, but my battery life is decreased also. Through the topic, I realized that I used a car charger, and it caused my problem. Other comments said that there's a "safety switch" of some sort, written into the os, that "shuts down" the ability to communicate through usb after using these car chargers? I think it is because the car charger is unstable. Therefore, I tried to flash the stock rom and factory image to make sure every file system in my phone back the initial state, but it didn't work.
(P/S: I'm temporarily using the AirDroid to transfer file from computer to my phone, so I can flash the rom)
I have used my friend's nexus 4 to connect my PC and it worked. I think the drivers when my friend's nexus connected to my PC would be the same as the drivers for my nexus, but then when I connected my nexus to my computer, no thing happened, no notification, just only charging. I believe my cable is still fine because it worked fine with my nexus and my friend's nexus.
As I mentioned above, the battery life is reduced without any reasons. In the topic I referred, there was no one have the same problem with me. I exchanged mine with my friend's Nexus and tried to use it in one day. I checked email, listened to music, surfed web, and the battery was still over 40% before I went to sleep at night. However, my nexus is the opposite. I start using my phone after unplugging from cable in the beginning of the day, I don't do anything in a whole day, but the battery is only 10-20% at the late day. I'm very upset because the battery is not so long. I have a plan to replace the battery, but before that I want to ask you guy about my problem. Is it the system problem or the hardware mistake? Can I solve my problem without replace the new parts?
P/S: I'm a newbie, so if I have do anything wrong, please tell me. if you need any detail about my problem, I will give as much as I can. And if there is a post have the same problem as mine, please let me know and I'm sorry because of my careless when searching in forums. Thank you for spending your time to notice my topic.
Use AirDroid, thank me later!! Since you are a new to flashing, learn first by reading and watching YouTube video on how to root your device (if interested) then flash Franco Kernel (increase battery life tremendously)

After using for a week, it is a good phone except below possible bugs:
SD card support is not available. I cannot save into SD card for HERE.
Juice defender is not working properly in controlling the data, perhaps due to 4G network.
The battery dies faster after 15% and drop to 0% within 5 mins. My phone shutdown at 8%. Maybe it is a battery issue.
The Antutu benchmark is disappointing and only reach 29k instead of the 40k. 3D benchmark is the weakness.
SOLVED:
[*]Waze display is messy and screwed up. The words and display are fuzzy. Updated to 3.9.4.919 solved the display issue.

Hello elephone1
1. I have the same problem like this guy http://bbs.elephone.hk/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=5046&page=1&ordertype=1#pid54899 (pictures inside is red color)
It is software bug (will it be fixed?) or hardware problem?
2. Wifi signal is very bad.
Stock 20150617 ROM
1) Camera pics have slight red colour in centre
2) Music player doesn't recognize WMA format music files - won't play the tunes
3) Compass doesn't work - yes I've calibrated it
Other than that I'm loving the phone
Stock 20150617
Wifi is unstable and often lost signal
Inviato dal mio Elephone P7000 utilizzando Tapatalk
Stock 20150617
1) Wifi is intermittent. Sometimes works flawlessly, sometimes very very slow. Signal is good though.
2) Icons get corrupted, for example recycle bin icon when home button is kept pressed.
3) Phone application cannot select which contact groups to show (Gmail, phone, SIM etc) and shows all contacts instead. In the Contacts app you can select any group you like.
4) Bluetooth A2DP streaming is broken! I've managed to make it work only with VLC app, but only for the first song I will play. Next songs won't play, I can only hear a soft background noise.
5) Camera is purple and blur near the edges in low lighting.
6) Compass is unstable, even after calibrating it. Also, calibration is lost upon restarting.
7) More to come...
stock rom 20150617
when using headphone jacks
at low volume there is a hissing noise sound
at level 1 and 2 or any low level sound
there is a background noise
how to fix this?
please have this fix in next updated ROM.
For 20150617: CPU being throttled? Asphalt 8 has frame rate drops even though everything is rendered correctly on High or Medium Settings.

Thanks for your initiative and taking care of customer satisfaction. I received the phone yesterday, and I already had to spam your forum...

I'm using the Stock Rom with OTA updates to P7000_20150617.
Mostly the phone works great! But I'm having no end of issues with Bluetooth.
I can pair with my Kia Sportage in-car bluetooth but every time I connect I get no audio unless I disconnect and reconnect. This is very frustrating.
I can pair with my Grandtech APT-X Optical Bluetooth 4.0 Music Transmitter Receiver but if I move the phone more than about 0.5m away from it the audio degrades severely until it cuts out completely. Compared with my old Samsung Galaxy S4 where I can connect up to 6m away.
Other Bluetooth audio devices appear very hit and miss as to whether the phone connects and works.
Any assistance greatly appreciated but I suspect it will be a ROM update to fix these issues.
Poor GPS navigation and unusable compass
Hello Elephone1,
using Stock 20150617 ROM OTA on my P7000
I have only 2 issues:
1. When I use the P7000 for navigation (Navigon, Google Maps etc.) it often happens, that the arrow (actual position) is about 50 meters off the real position. Also the displayed position is up to 100 meter afterwards the actual position.
2. The compass jumps in the shown direction. Even after successful calibration.

Hey guys. So I just received my new smart watch today and I'm loving it! Wanted to start a thread about it asking if any of you have it so for. It's a pretty new watch and in the coming days hopefully I'll be posting some pics and vids.

Got one of these a few weeks ago and so far:
Runs like a dream, considering it's size
Will run all the apps I have installed on it so far.
Will not let me put an SDcard in that is 32GB or 16GB will only work with the bundled 8GB card. So I assume this might be formatted differently (have not checked)
Cannot get GPS to work! Perhaps it is not using a standard "western GPS chip"?
Camera is ok, but no zoom and you have to put your wrist down otherwise you take a picture of your hand.
MAJOR ISSUE ! Battery Power ! Says it can work for 24 hours with light use. Ha Ha Ha Ha what a load of BS. Lucky if you get 7 - 8 hours out of the battery with 3G working (Skype and FB apps running in the background, no GPS on, no BT on and no WIFI on)
That is about it so far if anyone has any other info I would be glad to read, because there is didly squat online about this watch/phone
More details.

I was pleasently surprised to find an 8GB SD card already there. That plus the 8GB built in storage (4.88GB of which is usable) leaves you with enough storage for your apps and music. Videos too if you're interested in watching on a teeni tiiny screen. It has a certain buzz to it. Lol. Also, it had a screen protector on it.
Another awesome feature that I found was that it has a BT notification app so you can sync it with your watch to receive notifications on it from your phone and basically use it as android wear which is what some imacwear users are dying for.
OK so I might have been quick to "diss" the battery power. Today the W9 has been going for 14 hour 26 mins so far I don't know if this is to do with the fact that the battery needed to "bed down" or because of the fact that I turned the back light to it's minimum setting? Well it is back to a middle setting so we will see what happens And is currently sat at 55% ..... we shall see.
Anyway more info :
The touch display, I would say, misses 5% of my "touching" but I do have problems with my moto g and it's touch screen, so I would say it will probably work for most people 100%.
What has surprised me, is that using a keyboard half the size of a postage stamp with a little finger which fills about 1/4 of the screen is quite accurate! Type the wrong letter, hit delete and then move the little finger to the right or left a millimetre or so and you have the right letter. Although typing like that takes ages. Solution ! Download the google keyboard and download your language of choice "offline version" and use speech to type, seems to work very well apart from the dual core chip working in overtime to keep up.
Back in a few days or hours with some more updates Just got GPS to get working!
OK the battery problem is not due to wifi lol.
If you charge the battery while the phone is on it does not charge properly, or does not charge enough, don't know which?
If you charge the battery in the off state while it "flickers" on and off the animated battery icon, it seems to charge the battery completely(?)
Charged the watch yesterday afternoon, while on and got 6 hours out of watch before it switched off. Charged it last night while in the "off state" and it has currently been running for 14 hours!
So if you want to get a full charge from your watch battery charge it while shutdown

Interesting info!
That's some interesting info on the battery life. Personally I leave the wifi and data connection off so at the end of the day I still have about 60 % battery remaining. I have managed to get the phone rooted and am looking to explore further. I bought the product at everbuying.com for $140. Compared to all the other smart watches this is the best bang for the buck because of the 1 GB ram and 8 GB ROM at such a low price. If you want I can do a video review of it and post it up.
I did install google keyboard and I love the gesture typing but for some reason I can't get the voice input to work. When I go to settings there isn't even an option for voice input in languages and input. I do have the mike button on my keyboard however its not working for some reason. when I click on it nothing happens.
My problem with the battery life is that it may be saying 82% and next minute the battery is dead! If I charge it when switched off I assume the electronics charge the battery but when switched on I assume the software takes over, a does not charge it fully?
Right the reason what you are getting no speech input (recognition) is that you have to be connected online via 3g. The alternative is to download the "offline" voice data.
Settings > Personal > Language & input > Google voice typing > offline speech recognition
When you use this offline it is a little slower (you get the feeling the dual core chip is working it's ass off) but it does work !
Would be interested to know what you used to root the unit?
Also would like to know if you have got the GPS working? (I still have had no luck getting this to work)
Oh and the reason I bought it was for GPS and the 1 GB ram. You try running any apps in 512Mb lol
Haha. True. I had the imacwear m7 and it would get laggy at times. I haven't tested the GPS yet but I wanna download offline maps for it like sygic or here maps.
Also, I dont have a "google voice typong " option in language and input.
I used kingoroot to root it and it was done in less then 5 mins.
I have 2 questions. 1. Have you got any lockscreen watch faces to work other then the stock ones? I have tried watchmaker but its not really good. Also, is there a way to leave the backlight on permanently? I realise that will kill my battery in a few hours but I just think it will be cool for the watch to show at all times.
2. Have you managed to connect it to your smartphone for reminders and notifications etc through the the btremind app? I can't seem to find the apk for the server on the phone side.
First, GPS finally got it working
It would probably have worked out of the box but could have taken 15 mins or more to do a satellite lock.
How to fix :

I now start to get a lock in around 10 seconds for the first sat and around 30 seconds for 5 when outside.

1) Sorry no but I assume you would have to root the device before being able to do this? And I don't want to do that yet. Plus I like the one that looks like an old digital watch
2) No I have not tried the btremind app, as I wanted the watch to be an independent comms device. Have you had a look through the watch storage (as yours is rooted) and spotted anything there?

I would say yes with a few limitations......
1) Screen is small but everything I have "thrown" at it so far works. Firefox,Mx player,Skype, Advance task manager, Navigator (Free), Facebook App, Google translate (Offline), Google voice search, speech recog (offline a little slow) GPS tools etc etc
2) Typing on the screen is "doable" but slow, get yourself a mini Bluetooth keyboard and you are away....
3) Battery! Battery is the only problem. Mine seems to have a mind of its own. Charge it one day and it will last over 24 hours, charge it another day and it lasts 6 hours????? Still not worked this one out but finding more and more about this device every day.
4) You do look like **** Tracy when using the phone, look him up on youtube if you don't know what I am on about.
Hope that helps

Qasimala if you go into the BTreminder app on the watch, it tells you in the help to look for an app on the play store called WatchAssistant.apk Still have not tried this yet.
Oh rooted with Kingo no problem thanks
Ju_ excuse my bad English . I 'm writing from Spain .
Thank you very much for your comprehensive answer.
I would use this watch sporadically , to do some hands-free calls , receive and answer some whatsapp , and some e- mails.
Not too much.
Do you think I can use this watch for these operations?
Thank you very much and apologize for any inconvenience
how to connect this watch
I bought this watch for its feature set and elegant design. I found the identical watch from a number of different vendors at widely varying prices. No one offered any real support and the specified companion reminder program does not exist. I have tried every bluetooth reminder app on playstore and have found only two that actually work. It seems that the software in this watch is actually from unova. One clue is that the help program is from unova. The playstore unova ironman bt reminder program works with this watch when installed on my s4. The only other program I could make work is swapapp when installed on both the phone and watch. I still have a few issues with the watch, but overall, its a fine piece of hardware. I'm looking forward to learning from other user expieriences.
Using this watch just basically would get you through the day I believe if you keep it on 2g and keep the GPS off. I really love this thing and would recommend it to one and all.
Thanks so much for telling me how to connect the watch to the phone. I tried unova and it does work.
I keep trying to push this watch's limits. I played angry birds go racing on it without a hitch. Gonna try NFS most wanted next

Your English is better than mine and I am from England lol
You will not have any problem doing what you want above. Also you probably would not need a BT Headset as speech to the watch is good and sound from the watch is a good volume, you might just have to turn the CD player down
If you want to know how well the watch performs read the comment by qasimala Need for speed on a watch lol !!!! Let me know how it goes qasimala
This watch continues to surprise me! Need for speed is working super smooth! I'll upload a video when I'm near a WiFi hotspot sometime. I use the watch for a few things mainly. I record lessons in class, listen to music on an earpiece which I bought together with the watch, I use it for working out (installed the madbarz app and it works like a wonder), I take the occasional picture or video without anyone noticing and whenever I'm bored and don't have access to my phone, I play games on it. Just got the idea to install here maps on it. I think it'll be really good because it gives you turn by turn directions offline which will probably increase the battery life on navigation quite a bit. Will let you guys know how it works out.

Not seeing much on here about this watch so I thought I would start a new thread just for it! Who has one on their wrist? Tell us what you think. It is high on my list for my next Smartwatch.

I've had one for several weeks. Absolutely love it. I've had several other Mobvoi watches, but this is the best of them all. I'm getting close to 3 days battery life with all sensors turned on, using the secondary display. I'm able to sleep with it on to use the TicSleep app. Play Store loads quickly on it, and runs smoothly. If I get a call while wearing my ear buds, the call comes in simultaneously on my phone, my buds, and the watch, giving me the option to pick which one to answer the call. No other watch has ever responded that quickly to calls. All in all, a great watch. Well worth the expense.

Mine is supposed to show up this Friday. Can't wait! I'm using an Amazfit Pace so I expect a huge improvement. Still, my Pace that I use since 2 years does a fine job.
Ticwatch Pro 3 gps
Just received my Ticwatch Pro 3 gps and loving it so far. Took 20 days for delivery, what they didn't mentioned when ordering, they stated 4 to 6 days from ordering, but ok. On the Mobvoi forum, i have read some disturbing post on the watch and poor customer service from Mobvoi. But isn't that with all forums, you just only complain if something is wrong, not if everything works ok. Well have fun with the watch!
Hello.
I hope for a few opinions from the owners of the watch, which are a consequence of yesterday's software update?
Been using mine for a month. This is what a wearos watch should have always been. Great batt life, fabulous display. Got a deal for $200 direct from mobvoi, pre ordered.
Sounds like a good wear os watch...
I pre-ordered this watch and have had it around 5 weeks now.
This is my first wearOS watch by choice. I waited for a processor that was half decent and that came with the Snapdragon Wear4100.
This watch lasts be between 2.5 to 3 days with me doing a GPS tracked walk every evening for around 1 hour, 24 hour heart rate monitoring, constantly connected via Bluetooth to my phone.
This watch also doesn't have the latest WearOS update that is supposed to improve app opening times etc but even without that, this watch is smooth and it doesn't feel like there are lags anywhere.
There isn't a custom ROM yet but if they come in time this watch would only get better.
In short, if you want a WearOS watch, this is a clear winner and overall great watch.

My watch arrived a few hours ago, delighted so far - but I'm unable to register on the Mobvoi site, no matter what I enter the page always gives the error "Please enter correct phone".

EDIT: and the answer is - you enter your email address in the field marked "Phone number" (!)
Just got mine today and it's a nice watch. My first one too. The announced endurance, récents update of the os, the price, the snapdragon and the two screens convince me to finally buy one. Waiting for a really good one since the firsts Lg watch. Hope it will work for a long.
Calls are clear, large choices of apps and themes.
I think I'll buy another bracelet and an protection glass. If anyone had one to recommend.
Fr customer.
It's been more than a week with the watch and I'm impressed with everything around it. Many applications and sensors for everything that interests us in everyday life. Responds quickly to everything, when receiving notifications and when making calls, the screen responds immediately without delay.
I got mine yetserday.. gods I missed the wearOS line.. so glad I'm past my Tizen device now.
Some questions though:
whats happened to the gestures?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WhKuklpQ9A
I dont seem to be able to do the "perform an action" "dip" Gesture anymore
Also where is the setting that "lights up" the grey screen? I don't seem to have that option
*Edit* Fixed this, had to turn OFF the "Tilt to Wake" to get the light up...
If i understand your question, this gestures are in Settings/ Gestures/ For navigation.
On another question for lighting in FTN screen, there is no option to change time to light.
We have option to disable the light on ftn screen, just set theater mode from quick buttons.
For light, set tilt to wake OFF.
What is for you dip gesture?

The "Dip" gesture let you dip your hand down to "open the notification"
and the reverse "lift" gesture to close the opened app (go back essentially)
These two dont seem to be on WearOS anymore
Hi, anyone got this issue?
I try to test the watch to less than 5%, but it doesn't automatically switch to essential mode. Anyone know what might be wrong? I have tried to set it in the essential mode apps but seems doesn't change a thing. Thanks
This must be the kernel source of this watch according to the official forum:

hart reset
does someone know, how to really hart reset the ticwatch pro 3 gps? I played around with these adb commands and the normal hart reset via system does not bring the whole system back. I would like to wipe out of a recovery modus ? I played around, because my battery time was incredible: just one day juice ... tried to deinstall the whole tic - system, but something went wrong, from now, I´ve got no sensor activities!
Thanks in advance

There are a lot of issues with the sensors at the moment, including myself after the latest firmware;
Since i am a new user I cannot link to an external site. But:

Pretty happy with mine but my only gripe is I'm not getting notifications for the Messenger app. And searching for the app in play store on the watch comes up with nothing.
Anyone else having the same problem?

I have TWP model 2019 and TWP 3. Activating a watch with Redmi Note 8T is a horror. When successful, the watch does not work as a handsfree. After attempting to make a telephone connection from the watch, the BT pairing is canceled and he must reset both the watch and the phone to reconnect it. Various discussions suggest that this is a common problem. Does anyone know the solution?
