Hi
1) can you also upload a picture of your battery under settings
('last time since you charged' that screen)
2) how is the call quality. Reviews say that it is bad.
Thx a lot
I have them on my phone, will upload when i have a few minutes. But battery is hmmmmmm a bit rubbish. about on par with stock GNex
Call quality of fine, but vibrates through the back of the phone for some reason. as t you can feel it on you finger.
speaker phone is rubbish.
Phone gets hot but not loads. And seems to go quick

So this is pretty much the non-freezer result from anandtech. Which basically proves that even on the final device, this problem is not fixed. Definitely not gonna buy this phone now, unless Google / LG announces some kind of fix for this overheating.
Damn. All I can say is thats slightly disappointing

It doesn't over heat. Its not as bad as the s3 I had

It doesn't overheat, but that's just because it throttles down. The scores you just posted pretty much match exactly the non-freezer results from anandtech's performance review. Which proves there is a problem that no other phone has, or at least i've never heard of it on any other phone: Thermal throttling. That's why the benchmarks show way worse results, than what you would expect from this hardware.
Every phone performs thermal throttling. Your laptop performs thermal throttling. Thermal throttling is not a problem. The problem is the thresholds being set too low.

That is your assumption. I hope that's the reason for it too. But I think LG just screwed up on the hardware part of this device.
I have never heard of thermal throttling on a non-overclocked device, btw. But then, i'm not sure if you're right, that other phones do this too. Would you mind showing me some kind of proof for this (for example like the proof for the N4, huge difference in benchmark results when it's in a freezer)?
EDIT: and btw, why would they just lower the throttling threshold on android 4.2? there is no reason at all for them to do this, so i highly doubt that's what's causing these problems on the n4.

Under normal operation, you're not going to see the effects of thermal throttling. With laptops/desktops you do typically only see it with overclocked processors because the fans are designed to keep the processors cool at their stock clock rates. If you Google Thermal Throttling you'll find dozens of topics and websites talking about it. Processors scale themselves back in order to prevent themselves from burning out. Since that only occurs over ~80C with Intel processors, you're typically not going to see that unless you've screwed around with your computer.
In Linux, thermal throttling is handled by ACPI. I don't really know enough about what Android takes and doesn't take from Linux to be able to tell you where it is controlled in Android, but it would be on a device-by-device basis. The temperature of 40C posted earlier in this thread is laughably low to be scaling back the processor for temperature issues.

The Nexus 4? Honestly, I have no idea. I was just going by what someone posted earlier in this thread. If it's hitting 60C under normal use then that's an issue.
I've not heard of it throttling at all under normal use, only benchmarks though
It matters not whether the phone can't handle the benchmarks - the real question is - can it handle the actual games?
