its googles checkout stuff like their own paypal. you can use it on your phone to buy stuff in stores with the paypass logo

[Cez★]

k. another fgt account to deal with :excalibur:

[chevyrado14]

you dont have to worry about it really. only if you want to use it. i think they process app purchases with it too.

[Cez★]

dont buy apps :secret:



:hng:


$390 total. 2 day shipping? :notbad:

hope it comes soon :chuy:

[chevyrado14]

i have only bought a few ones i really liked. the rest are :secret:

and welcome to the nexus club! :shake:

[Cez★]

:happeh:

[stonehenge]

nexus ftw :datass:

if another nexus comes to vzw this year then S4 and Note3 can pls go.

Although Notes be seks :drool:

[chevyrado14]

yea dfw another nexus on vzw or at least that moto x phone

[stonehenge]

yeah, i'm guessing my decision will be S4/Note3 but hopefully X Phone and Nexus be in the mix also :drool:

[Cez★]

n4 gonna arrive to me house and google announces n5.

fak
:gooby:

[chevyrado14]

nexus 5 wont be til fall

[Cez★]

so i get to enjoy phone for a summer?

[stonehenge]

you probably won't even be that jelly of n5, they are fairly incremental updates between them.

Me and MBailey have the older GNex and still love them. The N4 is an improvement but mostly just a faster processor and some ram.

[chevyrado14]

no it will still be good after the 5 comes out. ive had mine for over a year and i still get the latest android versions. the dev community for nexi is huge.

[Cez★]

shitt. better still be good for a year :crossarms:

[chevyrado14]

it will no worries.

[stonehenge]

yeah spec-wise you probably won't be too jelly of the n5 and ROM wise, you DEFINITELY won't be upset in a year. Most ROM peeps build their roms for all the Nexus devices, there are still active roms for the old ass Nexus S and shit AFAIK.

[Cez★]

Weight 4.8oz 4.9oz

Pretty much same dimensions, isn't that big foo. Go hold a Note.

[MikeH]

Doesn't feel big with bumper on at all. Since that rearth case is a bumper with a back it won't feel big either.

[stonehenge]

only smartphone chriz ever had was fassy so i understand, that bish is tiny and weighs nothing

[MikeH]

N4 does feel wider than GNex though, but I think that's because the screen is a little wider.

[stonehenge]

.025" wider and a tad shorter. guess its enough to notice

[MikeH]

I noticed it right away. Thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me at first.

[SarkOzy]

Definitely feels larger than a GNex. It's hard to explain. I think it's the flat surfaces and rigidity that give that impression. Compared to le Fassy or the Gnex' I've messed with this thing is as solid as can be. No creaking plastic or anything.

[SarkOzy]

There are some data drop issues with custom ROMs and T-Mobile, but it's not a deal breaker. Even if you're just using the stock ROM, flash Faux's "enhanced" stock kernel so you can adjust the colors. The screen looks terrible out of the box.

Mike, do you still want the faux display app? I forgot all about that. I also have a tweaked color setting I've modified from his color accurate preset.

I haven't had a single reboot on Faux.

[stonehenge]

I'm using the extended but I've used it with the regular battery for various periods of time and it didn't creak either.

[SarkOzy]

Faux, Franco and Motley all gave me reboots. On the stock enhanced kernel it's been fine though. Could be the CPU binning.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

[MikeH]

Motley rebooted within like 5 minutes of flashing so I went back to Faux. Franco didn't give me any reboots though. Did you try upping the voltage?

[SarkOzy]

I don't want to have to tweak it, that's why I didn't really bother. None of the kernels make a difference in performance anyway. I messed around with the governors but between ondemand, intellidemand and interactive they all acted up. Luck of the production draw I suppose.

Harsh is really the only one that you can flash and leave alone.

No status bar/navbar changes? No themes? No lock screen changes?

stock navbar height is ridiculous. way too big.

[SarkOzy]

Na, no themes or anything. I use cLock for the lock screen.

Mike, I tried a slightly smaller nav bar with AOKP but never really got used to it. I pretty much only use my thumb to navigate the screen so the extra bit of stretch going from the status bar to a smaller nav bar was uncomfortable. I don't like having to shuffle the phone in my hand so I just keep it stock height.

[MikeH]

Cao should step his game up Optimus Elite for $40 http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/91462/radioshack-virgin-mobile-lg-optimus-elite-prepaid-smartphone

[stonehenge]

You can actually add letters to the end of an imgur URL to change the size.

If the URL ends in XXXXXXX.jpg, you can change it to XXXXXXXh.jpg for high, XXXXXXXm.jpg for medium, XXXXXXXs.jpg for small, etc. There is also XXXXXXXl.jpg and XXXXXXXt.jpg I think.

Something like that anyway lol

[Willy]

Would I be better off just spending the couple dollars for the taptalk app? Does that do the uploading and resizing of pics?

[stonehenge]

it attaches them to the thread, which makes them kinda shitty quality sometimes. I'd stick with either:

1. upload to imgur, paste url, add letter to end of url to make it smaller
2. resize pic with a pic resizing app, upload to imgur, paste url

[SarkOzy]

It seems like since I've had this phone I've mostly used it as an actual phone/email/gmaps device. Anything else just isn't appealing. :/

It's just the new IP scheme. LTE is all IPv6 but T-Mobile has it for their entire HSPA network too. Seems to provide lower latency as well. I still leave it set to the old IPv4 for roaming though.

It's a Nexus thing unless something just changed. Recovery always reverts back to stock on reboot.

When they finish downloading, go into the platform-tools folder inside your android folder, then copy adb and fastboot and paste them into the root of your android folder

you can skip that. just cd to android/platform-tools

don't you have parallels installed? i'm pretty sure that will work. no promises though, drivers could be weird or adb may get confused somewhere.

[Cez★]

yea has parallels. hardly use now after me VB class :jester:


i assume im almost through with it though so i might as well just stick it out

[chevyrado14]

anyone have a good root file manager? ive been using esfile explorer but i cant get it to install apks. if i need to i will find a copy of root explorer somewhere :secret:

[stonehenge]

i've just been using jrummy's Root Browser lately, does what i need it to and is free in the market

i was using :secret: root explorer or solid explorer but that doesn't help when you flash a new rom and can't get to the apk to install it :jester:

[chevyrado14]

:shake: will try out jrummy

[stonehenge]

if you end up finding one better, let me know :fistbump:

[MikeH]

Try ES File. I can upload Root Explorer though.

[stonehenge]

i had a flashable TiBu but that shit wouldn't actually install unless i flashed the rom/gapps, booted, then went back and flashed TiBu.

:sweetbrown:

wanted to do it all at once. flashed successfully but the app never installed. fts

[MikeH]

put latest Root Explorer in DB. No clue if it has market check or not though.

[chevyrado14]

i was using cm's file manager but it got fubared everytime i flashed a new rom.

[stonehenge]

Apollo kept FCing and pissing me off

trying Shuttle now, works well

[MikeH]

Shuttle just a Holo music app?

[stonehenge]

yeah, has a few extra stuffs here and there but idgaf about that. I just got tired of Play Music being stupid (shuffle problems, sometimes not showing the song that is currently playing, etc) and apollo kept FCing and didn't allow you to delete mp3s by long pressing them.

shuttle fills the void, didn't want anything too fancy

[Cez★]

play music is default music player for new devices?

[stonehenge]

yessir

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

well for stock android devices

most OEM skins come with their own music player (Motoblur, HTC Sense, Sammy's TouchWiz, etc)

[Cez★]

orale. no has any music on n4 yet pero was looking through it last night

[stonehenge]

play music isn't bad at all, just has a few little things that annoyed me

some of those things may even be fixed by now, haven't used it in a while

[Cez★]

need to add all me jap music :happy: :lol:

[chevyrado14]

Juan Im gonna upload an updated apollo.apk to dropbox. I pulled it today from fits. It does everything you said it didnt do before and has a sweet color changer theme thing. Also it allows you to get rid of the lockscreen music controls.

Hmm now it's working weird

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

[stonehenge]

yeah it worked for me, turned it off, back on, then off just to test and worked correctly

except for missing notification

[MikeH]

Cez, what you think of N4 so far?

[Cez★]

:megusta: :stickfap:


pretty damn bamf. love the size. big but not overwhelming. keyboard nice and spaced out. fast as shit. screen pretty bright indoors with brightness turned down to minimum. gotta get used to power button location tho :rofl:

[MikeH]

flash kernel and change colors, will make the screen much nicer.

[Cez★]

will do that friday night. which one be good?

has report to do.

[MikeH]

Harsh or Motley since neither require much setup.

---------- Post added at 06:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:25 PM ----------

or you can flash the enhanced stock. which just adds color, sound and some other minor fixes.

[SarkOzy]

You will need an app to control the colors, unless you flash one of the PA kernels. Not a fan of those though. Too dark.
