What time is end of day? I'm off school at 4:30 and will be home before 5. Wondering if I'll make it before they leave the package outside.

flash a custom kernel

people on franco are getting up to 4~5 hours depending on usage!

rageguy 01-07-2013 12:42 PM

Flash a custom kernel and chance are that your battery life will improve significantly. I'm on Franco kernel r28, stock ROM. I get through the entire day just fine.

dyan 01-07-2013 12:47 PM

I'm on stock everything, just rooted.. I've been getting 20 hours.. granted I don't use my phone much.

Around 1hr 45 min screen time
50 min call time
regular whatsapp conversations going.

!MiKrofT 01-07-2013 01:00 PM

I'm probably gonna switch over to Franco. Currently using Faux's kernel and battery is so so.. better than stock but not as good as I'd want it.

WTF.. unless they turn on their phone and only play a movie with with below lowest brightness and all networks off... I don't understand how it's possible.

You'll get better battery if you flash ROM/kernel. I get ~2:45 screen time with 25-30 hours on battery. Maybe only about 20-30 minute call time though.

Damn thing finally arrived. Today is not a good day to leave a phone outside all day.

Which ROM/Kernel would you recommend? I saw from this thread that Franco kernel is pretty good. I have no idea for roms though. Anyone?

Using CM10.1 with Faux123 kernel. Getting good battery life and lots of things to play with using Faux123's app as well.

I prefer Faux's kernel over Franco's right now.

Simplex123 01-08-2013 05:01 PM

I'm using Xylon+Franco.

Synapz what is your screen time/time on battery??

Wireless chargers althiugh nice are too expensive right now. Hopefully they come down in price soon.

marc0lishuz 01-08-2013 09:08 PM

I got this one from Extreme Guard. They frequently have 80% off coupon codes so don't buy it at regular price. ;)

dyan 01-08-2013 10:26 PM

I'll sell my xtremeguard, front and back for $5 lol .. even with 80%off and shipping.. around same price.

bobbinka 01-08-2013 10:33 PM

i actually just received extreme guard today and dont really like it

looking for alternatives

syee 01-08-2013 10:43 PM

Yeah, I don't like it on the front screen. I don't mind it on the back. Having a slightly grippier back means it won't slide off.

If you want something different, try the kit from Spigen. It's considerably more expensive though.

!MiKrofT 01-08-2013 10:43 PM

I'm currently using THE Poetic Borderline bumper. Quality isn't bad. It's TPU and should hold me until the actual bumper becomes available again. I paid like $10.

Simplex123 01-08-2013 11:20 PM

Anyone adjust the colour with Franco's Nexus 4 Display Control? I just received my second N4 and compared it to my first one and realized it's actually really yellow (never got to spend time with stock at all).
Changed the settings right away with the app to 200 200 255. I just eyeballed this setting to make the whites really white. A popular setting I found on forums is 238 228 240 but I found that still too saturated.
The app does cost $2.60 but it works really well and you don't have to constantly go back and change the settings. Do it once and you can leave it.
Try it and if you don't find a setting you like you can refund it within 15 minutes.

Fauxclock is better since you can adjust gamma as well on stock ROM. The gamma is wayyyyy off on these phones.
