It mainly depends on clock speed, UV, ROM optimizations, and display brightness. That's a pretty hefty day. How bright do you think your gonna have the screen? Also, will this be on stock, or are you gonna flash into a world of wonder?

Connor Baker

I keep brightness to 50% always
I dont use gps, maps.navigation, google now i disable them
My use is very basic
2hrs of music
2hrs of gaming
3hrs of chatting and at weekends i watch movies in my phone

My current phone gives me good battery
I unplugg charger at 7 am and from 8to9 i listen music while reading gogi.in, gsmarena, phonearena in opera mini
Then i put my phone aside till 6

For the Dalvik Cache:

This happens to me all the time. I believe it is because the nexus tries to mount an external micro-SDcard, and receives an error because it cannot find one (because it doesn't have a slot for it).

For the battery:

It should last a while... I mean the gaming is definitely gonna take a toll on the CPU/GPU, but the music shouldn't be too bad on the battery. I think it will probably die before you current phone because it has a way faster CPU/GPU, and a larger screen as well. So it's a lot more to power. The battery is larger too though. So... YMMV.

Thx bro
Now i m confused
Should i buy this phone or not?
A phone with 10gb ram
1 zottabyte of internal storage octacore processor 1080p display is useless if we cant use it for more than 4hrs.
I want this phone.
Is there any extended battery available? Or the wireless charger is really wireless?

How not to vibrate?

Hi guys, I am just new with this phone, I just get my phone this past Saturday. SO the setting is almost like it's from stock.

Can you help me please? Cause I am trying to eliminate unnecessary vibrations when I am using my phone. I already get rid of vibration when entering texts. Now, I want to removed those unnecessary vibrations say when leaving the Home Screen, then when closing an app... and other unnecessary vibrations.

Thanks in advance.

For eq: if you go to Gallery (pictures) or settings the background is grey. Is there a way to change it to black ?.

I have been in PA + Motley 35. Its great, But I didnt know how to change the back ground.

Is there any Theme /ROM for doing it ?

Thanks,

I have been considering flashing a rom (preferably CM) but I am not sure if its entirely worth it yet.

While the roms have some abilities that make it attractive compared to stock I am wary on the whole stability regarding nightlies and overall stability/improvements over stock.

Just how stable are the nightlies, and what would I be missing from stock if I flash a Custom Rom? (I remember hearing some time ago that the EBS settings were only available in stock.)

Also if I do decide to go with a Custom rom should I also invest in a custom kernel as well to improve battery life and so on?

Thanks Man.

Now, can I ask where to start reading in this forum to maximize the potential of our phone?

Is it all begins with rooting/unlocking the phone?

Thanks

Pretty much all roms are perfectly stable on Nexus devices since they're AOSP devices.

Try different kernels if you want, they're very easy to flash. I personally like Harsh kernel, it's as smooth as stock with improved battery life.

My question is that I want mail from hotmail to sync every half hour (aka 30min).
it says "inbox check frequency: every 30minutes". Or if I click on inbox and go to Sync Options, it says "Check Frequency: 30minutes".
-- Yet the second I get an email I get a mail notification...
Does anyone know what I have to change to make it sync every 30min instead of push?

[I searched this thread and several others but haven't come across a question like this]

Soft Buttons with Fixed Position

Hi, I hate it when I rotate the phone and in some cases when the phone is in landscape mode the software buttons move to the wrong side of the screen, hence being on the top of the device. Is there a way to keep them always on the bottom of the screens device and stop them from jumping around? I have CM 10.1 installed.

Som3guy · Feb 13, 2013

Hey,

I got the problem that my Nexus sometimes wants to update to 4.2.1 although the system update menu says the newest version is installed (4.2). When I let the update do what it wants and it reboots, it fails at the recovery system with "apply patch check something".
Only thing I've done to my Nexus so far is rooting it.

Hello people. Just wondering, is it possible to increase download speed at HSPA? Like uncap it's limits? Is it possible or is there a solution already?

Wrong Information ?

Hi, I asked a phone vendor about the Nexus 4, he said that he wouldn't recommend me this phone. Why ?? because he said that this phone isn't suitable for personal use and is only for those who are 24 hours on the go and on the Net, above all he also mentioned that I need to pay extra money to unlock some Google Services (like, what the hell is Google Service, I haven't even heard it before). So....

1. Is he talking crap ? (about the "paying to unlock Google Service" thing) , or maybe it is because of regional difference ?? (I am from Malaysia, does that make a difference ?)

2. As far as I know, all smartphones are capable/made for going on the Net, hence isn't the "for those who are 24 hours on the go and on the Net“ issue also applicable to other high-end smartphones ?? I dont see why it should discourage me from buying the phone albeit me being a moderate phone user.

Thanks in advance.
