For you PA people running Franco who had problems with wifi on the Apr 16 build, the Apr 26 build seems to have fixed it.

"Phone Idle" uses a lot of battery for some reason. Uses more than screen. Something is wrong with mine

Stock or custom ROM? Kernel? Apps?

Drow 04-28-2013 08:55 PM

okay... took me long enough to finally figure out how to root / flash roms

just flashed the milestone 1 aokp today... aside from some additional customization settings and what not, is there anything else different with the phone?

!Yaminashi 04-28-2013 09:06 PM

You'll probably get slightly better battery life

Drow 04-28-2013 09:10 PM

sweet :wooha:

although i found the battery life on stock to be more than sufficient... this will be an added bonus

feels great finally flashing a rom, i never got around to doing it on my s3 because the info overload was too much for me, i gave up every attempt to learn lol

next to do list... enable LTE

edit: if anyone has LTE on their nexus 4, gimme a shout out :)

So I ordered an orb through puremobile. And then I got a refund because they couldn't ship it by the time the paypal pre-order authorization ran out. And then it arrived in my mailbox yesterday.

So far, so good. My phone sticks and stays in place--possibly because I'm using the nillkin case and the rough back helps the orb grip the phone, but also possibly because the rubber on the orb itself seems to be of the semi-sticky variety. When charging my phone has gotten a wee bit warmer than it otherwise would which is hardly a surprise, and it's very easy to use while I'm at my desk without taking it off the charger due to the angle.

TL;DR: I have an orb, it was free and it works great so far.

pics or the orb didn't happen? j/k

i tried aokp milestone 1. used it for like 2 hours before i went back to slimbean

DragonChi 05-07-2013 05:25 PM

for those with battery issues, maybe a battery pack might help.

For only $26.48 each when QTY 50+ purchased - External Battery Pack and Charger for iPadŽ, iPhoneŽ, iPodŽ, and other USB Mobile Devices (5000mAh) - Black

I wouldn't wanna carry this normally in conjunction with my phone. The ideal solution is if someone released a clip on battery case like the ones available for iPhones.

I'm trying to get rid of the google search bar on my phone and it doesn't seem to be working the way it use to. Before i'd just go to settings>apps>google search>disable. this would completely take away the bar. now, it just removes the function and the word google and the mic symbol. an empty grey bar is still there and immovable.

i should mention my phone is bone stock 4.2.2 as well.

I got sucked into a group buy at work for the N4 Bumper...so far..I like it
now I want the white one too...

Graeme S 05-10-2013 07:21 PM

Aren't you worried about having the back crack or mess up? I kind of want a bumper but I've seen threads on XDA that worry me.

Tim Budong 05-10-2013 08:13 PM

Anyone thinking about a N4, London Drugs has it for 0 dollars, 50 dollar gift certificate, first month free on 2 year plans.

way2quik 05-14-2013 05:31 PM

There is a HALO app for those interested in a HALO like feature. https://play.google.com/store/apps/d....paranoid.halo

Depending when PA Halo goes stable, I'm certain I'll switch over again.
