That's why N4's hardware is crippled.
what was crippled i was under the impression that its the same hardware
Fixed.

Just got the Sony Xperia U, budget dual-core phone. It's pretty good so far, except for the small 3.5" screen.
I think he is referring to the lack of LTE.
why didnt you went with P they are almost the same price
But U is also a lovely phone.my sister has it and she was able to play GTA3 on it

The Xperia P was $90 more, couldn't afford it.
oh its good i think they have same processor and gpu only less ram
yeah but its going to be a while before you can get a phone operating with only an LTE radio. At that point they are still going to have CDMA fall back for new technology quirks. It'll be 2015 until you can reliably be full LTE on Verizon. ATT is going to be incredibly slow, but they are in a better position as LTE is an evolution of GSM so interop is much much easier.

Anyone here that uses 1mobile market(my tablet doesn't have google play)?
I'm having problems downloading apps via 1 Mobile. When I confirm to download an app, the download meter just stays at the "preparing to download" phase and the download doesn't actually start.
Any help from Android-GAF?

Tried to find any more reviews that haven't been posted out of boredom but the only one I found worth posting is: http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/gadgetbox/nexus-4-review-amazing-phone-deal-breaker-flaw-1C6845378
I say worth posting because more conflicting battery reports! This one says it's quite good in that department.

Hmm... I've been thinking of making my mum join the smartphone camp. What's a good starter smartphone for her? I think she would probably be making light use of her data plan (she doesn't have any data on her cell now), but Skype and Facebook (neither signed up) could come in very handy for her.
What Android? (Preferably something that is free on contract)

Nexus 4 8GB and a cheap smartphone plan from T-Mobile. Fuck expensive contracts. You'll pay less over time.

Or a used Galaxy Nexus and staying off contract, if it is cheaper for off contract plans in Malaysia.

Hmm
The Galaxy Nexus is not free, but there is a price slashing for my mum if I switch her carrier. Over 75% off retail price... Hmm...
I'm switching her carrier anyway because her signal blows.
But plans seem to be overkill for a talker.
Hmm
Man, but the Lumia 610 would be very limiting.
Low-end droids... ew.

Thanks for this. Unfortunately it seems that FM radio doesn't work on custom firmware? That's a deal breaker for me :/
OG droid? we had a thread a while back, but I think most people moved on. Hasn't been updated in months.
No, android in general. This seems to be more of a discussion thread.

So wtf is the dolphin jetpack? How is this different from the regular dolphin browser? I know it supposedly speeds things up, and but what exactly is it? Its own browser? Some kind of add on script? Why isn't it just part of dolphin? I'm hella confused on this.
What exactly is the problem. You can't just say "problem" and expect us point you to the right place.

Lol calm down Tino. The dude's just wondering if he can post android issues here.
And yes you can. You can post anything android here.

I cleared data and that fixed it for me
No LTE in the Nexus 4, and the original Optimus G had a 13MP camera instead of 8. I think it also had a microSD slot as well. Those are the main differences.

I already ordered the long, hard 64 GB microSDXC card from Newegg that I'm going to thrust deeply into the tight little microSD slot in my still-unshipped Galaxy Note II.
Actually, I already ordered a case, screen protector, and MHL cable + adapter for it too. All I need is the goddamn phone at this point.

The 13 was better in good conditions from what I noticed. But overall it's not a huge deal. Both cameras are nothing special.

There was a review somewhere that said the 13MP and 8MP on the different Optimus G were basically the same in actual real-world use. Both weren't as good as the 8MP in the One X and GSIII.

That's what I heard...wasn't aware the sprint version didn't have a micro SD slot...
how likely is it that the optimus g will be supported well by xda...since its basically the same hardware we should be able to port it easily and get some good dev support overall...thing is not many people (devs) buy lg's I assume...
Unless they are a nexus lol.

only according to one blog.
I looked around. The Optimus G cameras are most like Sony's new Exmor RS modules both the 13.13mp one and the 8.08mp ones. Since the 13mp camera has a 1/3.06" sensor, the 8mp one has a smaller 1/4" sensor, then the 13mp obviously will produce better image quality.
For reference, both iPhone, One X and 920 have 1/3"-1/3.2" sensors.

The latest random leak of the day:
http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_droid_dna_photo_leaks_brings_htc_js_screen_to_the_us-news-5041.php
Nothing rumored there that we haven't heard before. I still can't wait to see how big the battery will be. The current rumors remain unchanged at 2,000 mAh.

I didn't say a problem. I asked a question. You seem defensive.

Only thing I worry about is performance. Sure the S4 Pro is a big step up over the S4, but going from 720p aka less than 1 million pixels to 1080p aka over 2 million pixels is a rather large jump. Plus I worry about apps looking good as they won't be coded for that resolution (yes yes I know scaling..).
