Hey guys
Just got my essential phone. Nice device
One little nitpick..if it can be fixed
The default volume box is huge, so much dead space at the top.
Anyway we can fix this? See photo

Hi guys, new Note user here. Love the device, amazing piece of tech. Few questions: volume rocker is bit loose. Anyone with this issue? How do I access Google music, there is no app just the Samsung one. When the screen is off, pressing home button wakes the device. Any way to disable it? Thanks a lot.

Well, it's not there. Google musis is available in Ireland as far as I know. Very strange.

Now I will be getting the Note 2 soon. I own a Samsung Galaxy R or less commonly know as Samsung Galaxy S2 Tegra. Google Music isn't really worth the trouble. Might I suggest PowerAmp. Its the best audio player available on the Play Store. Its for 5$ currently I got it for 2$ when it was on limited sales discount.
About the phone waking up when you hit the home button. Looks like you have disabled the screen lock. Go to Settings>Security>Screen Lock>Select Swipe with No Pattern.
Hope this helps.

Just got my nexus 4 today. Love it except for the very creaky volume buttons. The slightest touch makes it creak a lot, whether I'm pressing up, down, or even just resting my finger on it. Makes the phone feel cheap over all. Anybody else? Should I try to exchange it?
Edit...just realized its the power button too. Bummer.

I just got my tf300t with keyboard dock. Great device.
I noticed something unusual with the chrome clicker bar underneath the touchpad though. If I press it on the left or the middle, there is clear click and a bit of resistance when pressing the bar. However, if I press it on the right there is no audible click and the bar doesn't really move down when I press it there. It seems like the micro switch inside is not working properly like on the left and in the middle. Nevertheless, the button does trigger the desired action (go back one step) when it's used. I am just wondering if this lack of clicking sound and pressing resistance is normal or the first indication of the button getting broken.
How does the clicker work on your docks?
Thanks a lot.

Nobody has a minute to let me know if their clicker works better/differently? I would like to send the dock for RMA if there is a problem, but first I have to figure out if there really is a problem. For this, I'd really appreciate some help.
Thank you.

Clicker working exactly the same on both sides. Makes click sound pressing the button for both left and right presses.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF300T
Same here. Clicker bar works the same all the way across. Clicks on the right, middle, and left side. If it's not doing that then you need to take it back because it's faulty.

Thanks a lot. You are confirming my assumption that I was sold a faulty unit.
I sent it back in the meantime. Unfortunately, the replacement I was sent had an even more serious problem - there were two dark spots/stains "in the screen". They were not pixel errors though. At this point, I decided to give up on the company I had ordered from. Will wait for a while and then perhaps give it another try or go for another device Acer W510 also seems interesting too.
Thanks again and a happy holiday season to all of you!

Hey guys, I've got a nexus 4 coming tomorrow and I am really excited! However, there is one thing that kind of scares me... Do the on-screen buttons take up a lot of screen space? Also, what is the best way to deal with them.
Thanks in advance!

No, they don't use much space. Some people like to use the PIE instead, I personally turn on expanded desktop on CM10.1 and downloaded a gesture control app. Works pretty good, esp. because I didn't like the PIE
Haha mine is coming in tomorrow too! Along with the wireless charger and cases I bought off of Amazon!

That makes 3 of us :good: I finally pulled the trigger. I will be receiving it tomorrow. Hope to get the case and SP tomorrow too..
Also most roms have options to change the height of the navbar

Theres not really a "best" way.
Why not just use "fastboot flash recovery" to install it? Its probably the most efficient and direct way to go about it.

The size and alignment of on-screen buttons is perfect with respective to screen size. However, you can change their size also after rooting the device.
Do you mean flashing it through like twrp?

Honestly you can adapt to both options, I used to use it normally and now I am using pie

T-Mobile lied to me... T_T
They said it would be coming expedited next day but they sent it ground shipping... Won't be here till Monday or Tuesday! Lame.
I prefer the navigation bars over pie. If you use a custom rom with the feature then you can adjust it's size so it appears smaller on the screen.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Flash a custom ROM and adjust the size of them. I personally think the size of the Navbar on stock is hideous, whenever I compare my phone to my friend's stock N4 I think that mine just looks so much cleaner with less black space at the bottom of the screen. 70% works perfectly for me, not too small but not intrusive either.
Just got mine today! Love it so far!

The screen buttons are about a quarter of an inch, which imo is fine. Coming from an s3 I prefer on screen buttons over physical buttons any day and will be a deciding factor in buying any future phone.
Yeah on screen a really more responsive in my opinion. Find myself only having to hit them once unlike my s3.

Thanks guys for all of the info, really excited for my phone to come... Coming from an HTC One S right now and I really like being able to have my recent apps key double as menu on short press and recent apps on long press... Would that be possible with the onscreen buttons?
Sorry for the double post, just wanna say that it arrived last night and I couldn't be any happier on a work day. XD
I don't find them intrusive at all even on the default size, but then again I migrated from an 800x480 phone, lol.
They also auto-hide when playing videos - tapping the screen during the video brings them back again for a few seconds.
Flashing a custom ROM is great for customizing the buttons and what they do. I find that I prefer a menu button over having to hunt for a 3-dot overflow, and I also find a search button useful for quickly bringing up the address bar in the browser so I can type a URL. So thanks to CM10.1 I was easily able to reconfigure the onscreen buttons - I now have Back, Home, Menu, and Search from left to right. The Menu button doubles as a Recent Apps Switcher when longpressed.
What is annoying though is that they are easy to accidentally hit when using apps in portrait mode. I have inadvertently exited Carmageddon many times to my extreme rage :/
Hello everyone,
Today I notice something very strange about the volume button. When I press on it, it just seem to be not fixed on its slot. It is not very tight, it is like the metalic button will fall out because I and move it from left to right horizontaly.
Can you test yours so that I can confirm that everyone phone has the same or it is a build quality of the mine.
Thank you for your help.
I'm not having that issue. My volume button seems just in place and tight enough

No problem here, we have two S4's one White and one Black. Both have nice sturdy volume buttons. Only the White one has a slight loose power button. But all is working without a problem.
