Has anyone ever upgraded speakers, camera, Wifi chip or anything else. I have done this for years on my desktop pcs and laptops.
Can I do it on our phones?

I don't think is worth it. Better buy a new phone
I love my note 2, I just want to make it good enough to keep until it dies. This is the first phone that I have had that takes away the excitement of new coming out for me

Speakers should be possible but the rest would require software modification...
I recall seeing something awhile back where a user upgraded their phone's internal memory storage, but as for upgrading a camera or WiFi, I don't see it as being very feasbile. You're talking different pin-outs on the chips than what they'd be replacing, different power requirements, internal firmware for the existing device/hardware, etc.
my point is: better a new laptop that upgrade your

Nexus7+ Galaxy Nexus on plan
Have query in regards to not being very familiar with using wifi, and with tethering a tablet to a phone.
Have GSM Galaxy Nexus on 2Gb monthly plan and being given a Nexus7 for Christmas. I figured they would make a good pair.
What I want to know is how quick will my Galaxy Nexus battery drain if I am tethering the tablet, or is it unlikely that I will really use the tablet like that often. I just figure as I am reasonably new to smartphones and never had a tablet, I could do with some advice about how they typically get used so I can purchase the Nexus& with Sim slot if that is recommended.
So far as I can tell, I will probably mostly use the tablet at home when the phone is plugged in, and if I do want to use the tablet out and about, I should be able to get a couple of hours tethering out of the phone battery anyways. I have only purchased the wifi version at the moment (only one available) but I would like to hear what some more experienced people have to say about this. Do I really need mobile data on my tablet?
Am I going to be kicking myself for a fool later if I do not get it?
Any help would be much appreciated.
USB teher- doesn't function at all. No data ever transferred
Wifi- connects but doesn't transfer any data like USB
Bt- works but, data is slow ~20KB/sec
This is disappointing since I got MB regularly on my g1 despite the older radio... I'm going you guys have done experience with jelly bean and tethering.

Same here. I have problems with WiFi tethering using the stock option. I didn't try apps cause, last time I tried them (other android), they killed the battery.
Not a fan of Bluetooth, I expect it to have a bandwidth limitation, which would answer your question.
But we both share the need for wifi-based help
So I'd love some help too
TIA

Now BT tether has reached 170KB/sec which seems like the max. Though I would prefer at least 1MB.

I've converted my Optimus G into a Nexus 4 and am wondering if anyone has tried to use MultiROM with their handset. Apparently it functions for the Nexus 7 with what limited knowledge I have in reading up on it. The reason I ask is because I'd ultimately like to run stock Android on some form along with Ubuntu Phone which has released is developer version to our phone recently, and this can be accomplished on the Nexus 7.
Should I even bother asking at this point I don't know, but figured its worth a shot as I love flashing roms whenever is convenient. I don't believe that Boot Manager in the play store is yet supported for the Nexus 4 at this point and if it were I doubt it would allow for ubuntu phone.

I don't have an answer for you, but how is your phone running since the conversion?

Because Optimus G is G+4, but Nexus 4 is just 4
It has ran just fine until the last month or so. Using an early cm 10.1 room with capacitive buttons and 8gb sd recognition. Lately my phone will randomly power off for no apparent reason so I will look to refresh my handset soon.
The Optimus G is considered a more reliable phone over the Nexus 4 from what I've read. It also allows for storage beyond 16gb since the att version includes that on board and allows external storage also. There is a HD ask to allow for 16gb internal recognized which I have not yet performed. No issues with my phone but rare overheating which I remedy by turning off my phone for it to cool down for a few mins at best.

I want to upgrade my phone by purchasing this one, and I wonder if this device with a Custom ROM and JB tweaks works with zero lag.
I'm stuck with this or a S3.
Do you guys recommend me one Galaxy Nexus?
Sent from my MT27i using xda premium
I had the galaxy nexus. It was okay but I definitely felt the old hardware in day to day performance. I would go for the nexus 4. It's pretty much future proof of 2 years or so. As for custom rom there are really good ones here.

It will be fine since I will use it for app development and gaming.

I was mainly deciding between a Nexus 4 and a used S3 (since they can be had for 200$), I ended up getting a Nexus 4 from the carrier due to the monthly payment of 17$ for 24 months (basically for the 16GB model which I could have gotten direct from google for 350$, I'm paying bout ~60 interest for basically a loan when you think bout it).
Namely for two reasons.
1) It's nearly impossible to hard-brick, and just as easy to unlock (though an S3 wouldn't be that difficult either)
2) Google will continue to provide OS updates for it at the very least for the next 2 maybe 3 years if you want AOSP or any roms based on AOSP.
Reasons I considered the S3:
- Longer battery life (both phones have a 2100mAh battery, but the S3's battery can be user-replaced)
- Can be had decently lower price used (~200-250 since the S4 is out now)
- Has a microSD slot, so could pop in a 64GB micro-SD card
- higher megapixel user-side camera (1.9MP vs 1.3MP)
- will support USB-OTG (Nexus4 will not and it's not capable of it on the hardware level).
I'm somewhat new to the Nexus4 itself, but so far with the custom rom SlimBean I've had zero lag, and short of google wallet (probably rom related, I resolved it with titanium backup), I haven't had a problem yet.
to me nexus devices are the only ones that i have ever had where i don't need to use a custom rom its already stock and using custom ones generally add features which i for don't really use or want.
easy to root, and with a custom kernel its truly an amzaing device.
having said that if you want smooth, this is about as smooth as any other device out atm HOWEVER android is going to get a massive speed (and potentially battery) boost with the next android version due to changes in the UX rendering system and limiting draw calls.
so the nexus 4 can only get better imo.
but if you can hold out till novemeber maybe wait for the the new nexus and a hardware boost (and probably a 1080p screen)
A custom ROM gives more speed, but with stock is enough? No lags?

Stock on Google devices are about as slimmed down as you can get of any stock devices, I know plenty of people who are happy with stock-rooted.
Custom roms can do a lot of things not just speed.

Stability and speed I expect for the ROMS for this device.

Development is rather strong for nexus devices.

I upgraded from the galaxy nexus to the g2 and what I can't figure out is what is using all the ran on the g2 I have the same apps on the g2 as I did on my gnex but on the g2 uses almost a gig of ram where as the gnex only used half of that with all the same apps the only difference is the ROM and kernel could it be one of them using all the ram
i can see many more differences between these two devices lol. resolution being the most obvious one.
ill try explain with an example. u have a small house and feel comfortable there. then on top of that u build a 4x bigger house. and you would still live only in the small house. wouldnt it be better to use parts of the bigger house aswell ?
and not only the house grew but you as well.

yeah, nothing to worry about. 1gb used ram is pretty standard now.

Unused ram is wasted ram

The LG has 2GB of RAM, if your device uses 1.9GB, then start worrying. If it uses only half or 1.5GB, it is a good thing.
U know,g2 has a much better gpu,processor and resolution etc and does and handles everything better(while sacrificing ram usage)
