does anyone know of a way to disable the vibrate that takes place during startup,x power off or reboot? Its probally right in my face and im just overlooking how to disable it.
also just noticed even when mine is on silent i still get the vibrate on said functions.
either im getting no replies cause of my ignorance or others sit and scratch heads as well.
I think that's the one vibration you can't get rid of...this might be able to happen with a custom recovery, so post this q in the development section and see what you get.
thanks for answering. As for posting this in the dev section, lol...no way, itll get moved back here to Q&A so fast it wont get 1 reply because its not a rom or mod. Unfortunatly ill have to wait till someone does know and happens to stumble upon my thread before it gets pushed to page 2 cause then its a lost cause. thanks for atleast replying though...l8ter, veritas

Not sure this is something you can change, and if you can it won't be easy. A custom Boot animation won't effect it because the vibrate comes before the animation anyways. Not sure man, sorry.
Yea I don't think it's possible to change the vib setting. Maybe it's the phones way of letting you know it's turned on as a fail safe, I mean incase the screen breaks etc.
There are 2 features on this phone that are just so stupid that i've seen so far which I am suggesting be fixed with a custom rom. The first one has to do with the pattern lock. I don't understand why samsung does this but when you set the time for the lock to come on, it only works if the screen turns off by ITSELF. If you turn the screen off yourself like most people do the screen locks immediately regardless of the time you have it set for. My evo never did this. It would set the timer regardless of if you shut it off or if it turns itself off.
A second feature that is missing from this phone that the Evo has is the ability to set your notification volume to the same as your standard ringer volume. This feature should be in there. It's ridiculous that you have to turn down each one seperately. Phones from 8 years ago had this feature. Whenever custom roms are made for this phone can you guys please add these into the phone.
My 2 fix request,
Proximity sensor needs to be a little more sensitive & less wakeup delay when turning on device.
Ability to turn off camera sounds.
Ability to turn off that horrible notification when the phone is fully charged. You come home from a long day, plug in your phone, and then go to sleep, and then in the middle of the night it beeps with a notification to let you know it's charged. What an *sshole.

Oh god tell me they didn't keep that! Lol the devs got rid of it for the og epic and I am sure they will here. There is a app called silent sleep that can help with that.
I talk to my phone a lot using Google search. On my Evo it worked great all the time. On this phone it seems to listen to me talk..then just sit there for a long time...like it's still listening, but i'm way done talking. then eventually comes up and says "no audio heard". Not sure what's up with that. Seems to mostly happen when I'm driving.
love to see that cleared up.
re enabling USB Host would be nice

I hope this is one of the first things that is enabled after rooting.
Also, device and sd card encryption would be nice to have working.

I'll pay a dev to mod the browser with a desktop setting!
First device I've ever seen that also disables this capacity with third party browsers.
Sure glad I got this FOUR POINT FIVE INCH SCREEN!
Dumbass Samsung .
could you explain exactly what is not happening here with the browser. i read this topic in the general section couple days ago also, and it seems like its wrong.
i use skyfire, and when in mobile mode, all websites load as mobile (that's the idea). and once i change it to desktop mode, all the websites load as they would on a desktop... if you are saying NO THEY DON'T, could you please tell me what website, cause i tried about 10-15, and they all loaded in the mode i chose

You couldnt be more wrong about the desktop view being disabled in all browsers. Yes its not a feature in the default browser...which is fine seeing as how most sites have the option at the botton to "Load Standard Page View". But most ANY browser Including Opera Mobile (The Best Browser IMHO Anyway) Dolphin HD Etc. For Opera Mobile go to Settings>Advanced>UserAgent>Desktop. And no you dont have to set this everytime you close the browser, it keeps those settings.
Yeah I'm perplexed when some say it works for them.
Haven't tried skyfire but all the rest I usually test nytimes, engadget.com, gizmodo.com for example.
Do those open in.desktop for you?

No i'm saying I don't want it to be immediate. I set it to 10 minutes and it will only wait the 10 minutes if I don't turn off the screen and wait and let it shut off by itself after one minute which is the absolutely the dumbest thing i've seen. Who actually waits for the screen to turn off all the time? You won't have akeyguard in your pocket and it wastes battery if you wait.

So far htc sense seems much better than the samsung touchwiz interface. Hopefully they can add some features from sense to this phone.

All you have to do in the stock browser is in the url box type About:UserAgent and you can select what mode you want.
One of the greatest feature in HTC phones for me, was the Vibrate on connect feature. Basically the phone vibrates slightly when the person you are calling answers , if you are not holding the phone to your ear. As long as the screen is turned off the phone does not before as it "thinks" you are holding it at your ear.
Is there any way to enable something like this on the GNexus? I couldn't find an app to for this.
Maybe one of the talented devs around here are interested in doing a mod to enable this function?
Cyanogenmod has this feature. I'm unsure if it is present in cm9 as its still relatively new, but it was definitely in cm7

I cant belive that there is no option for this on GN .. (stock rom)
I need this feather too.
I would love this feature too, was using hTC D2 for a while, and I'm new to Android
This would def. be interested in this feature being available.

I actually did give that one a try earlier today. The vibrate on call end worked for me, but the vibrate on call connect did not work at all (stock ICS). The app has several different "vibration mode settings" to try if it isn't working on your phone, but I had no luck with any of the different settings.
I emailed the developer, so hopefully they get back to me.
i'm missing this feature too!

I had this feature on the OG Droid through the KickBack, which was installed when I switched to a cyanogenmod 7 rom... KickBack says that it's deprecated/included in ICS, but I can't find a setting for this feature anywhere on my GN (4.0.4 stock rooted). I would really love to have this feature back, just so I don't have to stare at my phone until it starts actually dialing.

hi all
first time poster long time reader
I am so tired of trying **** apps.
Could somebody please tell me what app works with the nexus four to allow me to touch the screen somehow to see a text message etc when it arrives??
for the first time ever I am missing the button in my iPhone that let's me hit it to see what is going on at a glance.
I just want a way to toggle the screen on without hitting the power button on the Nexus 4
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The only way to do this is to leave the screen on, which would drain the battery. There's probably an app that would turn the screen off (or dim it), but this would keep your phone awake and drain the battery.
Someone feel free to chime in and correct me if there is such an app.

For the Gnex there's an app called “PGM", I emailed the developer if he had intention to update the app so it works with the Nexus⁴, but sadly he doesn't have the phone yet.

There is an app for that called tap tap app uses proximity sensor to lock and unlock screen.
Not positive is works on 4.2 but worth a shot.

Just wait for PGM to be updated for Nexus 4 support, OP; I can vouch for its greatness. You can enable double tap or slide to unlock gesture to turn the screen on. Once you get used to this, you seriously forget you have a power button.

I'm waiting on a kernel that has Sweep2Wake...that would be awesome with this phone.
Wow I cannot believe the responses I got...
Thanks everyone!
I settled on the Smart Screen On.
Works about 75% of the time...I can live with that till something better comes along.
I don't really understand why you cannot make text msgs received light the screen up like it does on an iphone. It was so convenient to just glance at the phone and see it was work texting yet again and mutter under my breath for them to piss off and then go back to playing Xbox without ever having to touch the phone.

Try Light flow for that... I think you can set a custom LED color and the screen to come on with certain notifications.
Yeah I've got Light Flow. You can set the LED colour and the screen to come on with some notifications. There is a 'lite' version which should cover the basics. But if you dont use the stock messenger or use things like Whatapp, you need the paid for version.
I use it and it has great customisation BUT at the moment I can't get it to work 100% of the time. So be warned!
It will be great though once they update it for 4.2.

For now I'm settling for half of the equation; screen off with a double tap. I'm using screen off and lock from Play.
I had PGM on my GN and it works very well, the developer is planning on getting an N4 the last I heard.
I'm currently looking into getting the phone to wake using the volume rocker -- I'm reading that it's inside android.policy.jar and removing two lines that ignore the volume rocker button presses.
Anyone want to give it a go? I'm going to look into it this weekend.

I emailed him too! That is one of the best app out there, in terms of the idea behind it. No real battery drain, but still be able to wake your device from sleep. I died a little after getting that email.
Kinda hope someone would do something like that for N4.
You can use Tasker+Secure Settings (pro version) to use the Google Now shortcut to unlock/lock the device, but there is no waking the device.
I too am waiting for pgm! That would be amazing

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
so my galaxy note 2 is with me for more than a month now and ever since i got it when i press the power button to wake up the device ( at least some times ) it takes 1-3 sec to wake and some other times its quick and responsive , its really annoying .. you know some times you are in a hurry and u want to write a number or something or you want to show-off to your friends and it disappoint you with the delay to wake up
is there some thing to do with the ROM or is there an app or some touchwiz things that prevent the device from waking up instantly or its a hardware thing
and here is a vid

If the device is taking 1-2 seconds to wake up then it's NORMAL. Rather you should be happy because the unit is having perfect deep sleep. When you see instant wake up you should know that something is running on background. Again, this is COMPLETELY NORMAL.
Some Nexus people say that they don't notice any lag, well I don't own a Nexus (don't like them), so I don't give a damn.

Anyway if it has to do with deep sleep you could use wake my droid app
No pal. The fix will be to keep something running on background, lol, anything that violates deep sleep will make the phone to wake up instantly. But then you know how much battery drain will occur.
So, the only solution is, get used with it.
