Battery Increase

Hi guys,
This is my first post but I have been reading the posts about getting the most out of your battery and wondered if you if thought Google might offer a larger battery for the Nexus 4 like Samsung is doing for the S3.
Thanks

It is removable but its not as easy.

Highly doubt it. Even if you were able to (successfully) remove the battery and replace it with a custom larger one, you wouldn't be able to keep the OEM back (unless the custom battery came with a back). And it'd be thicker. And there'd be no shininess. Therefore, no.

Getting Nexus 4

Hi,
Im currently using note 2. And I'm getting tired of it I think I'm getting nexus 4 instead
Will the nexus 4 receive android 5 ?
I heard some rumours about Google making new flagship phone for Android 5.0
Thanks in advance

Nexus devices will always receive the newest android version for a while. So expect the nexus 4 to get upcoming versions. As for the x phone, its up to you. I just got my nexus last Friday and very happy with it

Is your galaxy note 2 rooted ?... I mean if you want a Nexus we can trade x) lol

I believe the GNote 2 is also getting 5.0 but it's going to be much later than Nexus devices. Lol
What is it that you're tired of ? Is it the huge screen size of the GNote ? The specs on the GNote are pretty great imo.

Don't do it. I love the N4 but overall the Note 2 is the better phone Root it and debloat it and its fast as lightning Just my 2 cents

It may be bigger but the s4 pro puts the exynos to shame

sorry wrong topic

Maybe in benchmark tests but not in real life when you debloated the phone. Better battery life. More storage and S pen off course.

+1 and you have the choice of touch wiz or aosp on the N4 it's just aosp... Sometimes I get bored and wish I could get a skin like sense or touch wiz they've both really improved throughout these years and they're optimizations help the android experience!
I recommend flashing anything by ptmr3! He's super legit at making twiz fast! I had his rom for my s2 with Fauxs kernel and it was flying!

Difference between x907 and x909

Hi I am new to Oppo find 5 and I was wondering what is the difference between x907 and x909 models. Also how do you check which one you have.

x907 is the first phone released by Oppo a year ago(Oppo Finder) 4.3" screen http://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find-5171.php (it's supposed to be "Finder" not "Find")
x909 is the latest phone (Oppo Find 5) with the 5" 1080p screen http://www.gsmarena.com/oppo_find_5-5161.php
some of the threads here talk about x907, because the mods moved it here....

From HTC one to Nexus 4

Well guys I don't know if I made the right choice here but I have a nexus 4 coming my way even though I have the HTC one
Don't know if it was the smartest decision to buy now specially since the one has better hardware specs but seeing all these you tube videos on the nexus 4 and how smooth it is and better ROM support I was tempted and so here I am now waiting for my device.
Any good first good ROM you guys recommend for my nexus 4?

I went the other way round. I now have the HTC One. Regarding smoothness though you are right. The Nexus 4 is buttery smooth.
You are going to feel it though. The HTC One is a premium device. It shows in the sound quality, screen and camera. These features are lacking in the Nexus 4. But in terms of ROM support there is no comparison. The Nexus 4 has plenty.
Regarding performance though I believe the Nexus 4 has the advantage. A lot of games that were smooth on my Nexus 4 stutter on the One and I believe that is due to the difference in resolution. On the One its a 1080p display, a lot more pixels to push data to.
You may have been better off doing the Google conversion on the One. That's what I did and am currently running Android 4.3.
P.S like the guy above posted. Paranoid is indeed the ROM to flash. If there's anything I really miss from my Nexus 4 it was this.

Galaxy S5 or LG G3... Help me decide

Hi all.. I've had my nexus 4 for quite some time now and loved it..but it's time to upgrade.
Before I got the N4 I was always upgrading to the newest phone but this one stuck with me. A bit too long lol.
I am debating between the s5 and g3.. Will be on t mobile.
Have any of you switched from the n4 to either? Opinions?
Thanks

Had chance to test both of them,.. Lg G3 i would choose,.. Regardless if u r planning to use original rom or custom rom. It feels more confident than Samsung, and another thing, spare parts are around 30% cheaper, at least in my country.

LG G3

G3.
Cause LG over that plastic crap of Samsung any day, if you want that feel of a proper flagship device

LG G3 any day. I had the S4 and it was nowhere near as good as the S4. Go switch to LG!

s5 has plenty of features but google is more of a "clean" phone

I feel like I am getting biased opinions in this matter because the nexus four is part LG so that's why your all choosing the LG G3

But I'm not sure if I want another nexus phone.. I skipped out on the n5. My brother in law has one and it doesn't seem like anything special.

Alright, understandable. Whatever choice you make, I'm sure it will be the right one. Many good devices out there.

My next step is to go to a T-Mobile store and try out both phones

Visited a store today..
Both phones feel very solid. I liked the display on the g3 more but what I hated about it is the volume rocker is on the back of the phone...dumbest thing ever IMO.

I just bought my first Android device coming from a long line of Windows phones. I've handled my friends Galaxy S4s and saw the S5 in store. I ended up purchasing the G3. I gotta say its a slick device.

Have you gotten used to the buttons on the back? I feel like I'll hate that feature so much.

They took a little to get used to, but they don't bother me. I kinda like how the sides are smooth.

MAY i recommend oppo find 7a if you crave more battery life OR the find7 if you want high performance and more sharp screen on expense of less battery life ? in either case its removable so no worries , its a solid build which kicks lg g3's ass
