Android Google Nexus 4 - Discussion Thread

Hi guys, looking to pick up this phone, any idea if the Indian copies are the 2nd revision with the heat problem somewhat resolved? I have to attend long business calls for hours, don't want a phone that will melt my ears

 

[Xanthor]

I have the original revision. The heating problem does not arise during voice calls.

Got my phone fixed at the Service Center today.

Power button was causing issue since 2 weeks. Wasn't getting pressed, needed to squeeze it tightly to get it to work.

Phone got stuck at boot animation today and couldn't get it to reboot with the Power Button .. took it to the Service where they replaced the power button.

Total Cost: Rs. 360/- for a new Power button.

Also enquired about a new battery.
Apparently a brand new battery of the Nexus 4 from LG costs just Rs. 950/-

On my friend's phone the touch works properly but inside apps touch is really bad. Its like pressing buttons. What could be the problem?

Use the Dev options to try out the touch and see the visual responses.

 

[benryu]

What should i be looking for in the visual respones?

 

[dexBG]

Is the touch being registered exactly where u touch the screen.

 

[benryu]

Yes it does get registered but the action aint being performed.

Is it rooted .. Are you running a modded kernel

[benryu]

Is it rooted .. Are you running a modded kernel

Nope. Everything out of the box.

Nope. Everything out of the box.

I think in some apps like browser,this was an issue.Many people reported this.Installing custom rom will fix this.Is it the latest version 4.2.2??

 

[benryu]

Yes its 4.2.2. Most apps this problem is there. I dont know if my friend would want to root and install custom roms. He doesnt use any such stuff

 

[AsidXxx]

^ If its bought in India, get it replaced?

 

[benryu]

Nope got from US.

 

[AsidXxx]

I guess you can still have it checked at the local LG service center.

 

[benryu]

yea i will convince my friend to try a custom rom once before going to the service centre

From 2 days,google play services is consuming a lot of battery.Even more than screen.Overnight my phone is losing 20% which is too much.Location based services as well as GPS is turned off.Rom is Paranoid android.Kernel:Faux.Any suggestions??If nothing works,then i will reflash gapps.I dont wanna do it right away as it takes too much time for apps to update and stuff.

Same here, Google play is very slow on nexus, quick on my Micromax Canvas HD.

I'm on stock.

 

[i_rock098]
