Hey guys,i currently own a LG 4X HD,and i started thinking about to buy a Gnex again,but i dont know would this be a huge mistake or not. So i need your thoughts on this.
Have in mind that 4X has:
-A TERRIBLE battery life (srsly tho,2 hours on screen is very very good.)
-Overheating
-Slooow,since i must underclock it to 1ghz and use only 1 core to get 2 hrs screen on. (Pretty sad,since it has 5 of them..)
-Low development section (but devs are good and kudos to them)
-freezes,stuttering sound,seriously considering to eat the phone.
Now,i dont know the pros of Gnex,since i dont remember nothing about it. And im pretty shure X4 has no pros. So please,give me your opinion on this

1. This should be in Q&A section and not in the general section.
2. I don't know nothing about lg 4x HD.
3. Galaxy nexus doesn't get official system updates anymore, since Google dropped the support...
4. Anyway... I recommend galaxy nexus. As it's still powerful and soon maybe it even has working 3.4 kernel...
Well if you are searching for a good battery life i would search elsewhere... While for performance and devs still working on it it's still a good choice for the price you can find it these days

Well,the battery life doesnt mean much,such as normal usage does. And system updates also,since X4 got 4.1.2 last. And cmon,its a nexus,it will always be updated.

From what you said seems like Galaxy Nexus is better phone in overall although I didnt know 4X is that bad. Anyway, if you can get it for not too much money, why not? :good:
It's hard to say really. If you can get one cheap then it's fine. You could also have a look at the Moto G.

So next week I'm going on a road trip and don't want to have to worry about my battery life.... So what Is the best kernel to use on my Verizon Nexus?
And I'm not an android noob, but I am a complete noob to ov/uv(ing) the kernel..... what Is recommended?
I right now am using Xenon HD and Franco kernel nightly 361
Also my processor governor is set to interactive
I want to use Spotify and access my phone to play random games.
thanks so much in advance!

Maybe not the answer you're looking for but why don't you get a car charger and/or an extra battery.

Haha dude I dont see why wouldnt you look cool with your Gnex. When I was out the other day wih a friend and some chicks and friend with iPhone 5, guess what phone impressed the girls? All of them got 4 or 4S and when I put out my Gnex, they were so impressed by it, even only by design and size of screen. My sister said that she doesnt like iphone 5 because it looks like her tv remote.
You cant do anything much to get much battery life since our phone has much bigger screen. If you want to play games while on trip, get your batteries ready. For myself, one battery cycle is enough since I listen only to music so I can get 10 hours.
If you are running Franco (Which you said you were) open up the Franco app, go into Power Modes, load up the Presets and use the BeastlyBattery, also make sure you turn off Auto Sync and turn your screen brightness to the lowest setting that you can handle. All of those will get you better battery life than playing with voltages all day.
Uv wont help too.

Don't get me wrong, I think Xiaomi makes great phones, but I would rather buy something that is officially sold in the US & Europe, because that kind of ensures that there will be developers who speak at least english.
I would not want to go through the hassle of finding my way through a chinese forum where no one speaks english and I have to use the godawful Google Translate to even get a glimpse at what is being said.
I wouldn't waste my time. You are used to a certain level of polish and dev support since you use a nexus. Regardless of what specs this xiaomi has it will still not be on the level of stability and overall usability of the nexus.
how much n where?
Just get it and sell it for more over here?

but it is still a new company (at least globally) and like someone else mentioned, most dev happens in chinese forums.
if you have the money then why not check it out
if money is tight i would skip this phone and look for something else. i doubt you will break even or turn a profit if you sell it

Hi All -
I'm in the US and recently purchased a 32gb Xiaomi Mi-2 from China and love it so far. I purchased it from ibuygou.com in China and you can read my full review of the phone over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37364601#post37364601
Hope this helps!
Hello,
I've just been given a Samsung Google nexus phone.
I was wondering if it was worth keeping it or simply selling it off and out the money towards a Google Nexus 4.
Is it really that much better?
I imagine it will take some time before it has much development done and ROMs on offer..
On paper it seems clearly much better.
My question is : is it really?

Slap yourself for a number of reasons. Read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642801 then search XDA or Google if you need more info or opinions.
I've been using the gnex since it came out last year. With the latest paranoid android rom, and Franco kernel, this phone is flying! Both developers are working on the nexus 4,but I'm personally super happy with my gnex. No plans to upgrade.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I'm still thinking about it, but the buildquality is significantly lower than the Gnex.
And in my country their not selling it for the low price of 350$.
People are offering them for 450€ on the web though.
But still an LG built phone for 450!?
Check out Adam Outler's teardown of if, it will give you much insight on the buildquality.

Quad core quickens overall ui, scrolling, booting, app loading and other things(maybe the gpu helps a bit)
I noticed in the gnex/nex4 comparison video theres quite a gap in performance(though the Gnex is pretty fast still)
Though i dont consider the Nexus4 to be that huge of an upgrade to the Gnex, i wouldnt go back to it if i already had the nexus 4

That's right. GPU has its contribution among others in scrolling. I really envy the power of Adreno 225. I wish our PowerVR SGX540 was at least in one third as powerful. I wouldn't trade gn until it dies then.

Not much of an upgrade....save your money for the NX5/Moto X
The N4's glass back will give you heaps of worries
If I had fully working gnex perhaps I would wait until n5 or maybe go for s4 or HTC one. But since it died and I didn't had unlimited funds I went for n4...and I am really happy, I would never downgrade. It's blazing fast, screen is awesome. Even voice quality (in call) seems higher. Of course it has its flaws, but which device hasn't? Wifi and data signal are as weak as on gnexus. Yeah glass back but that's what cases are for. Maybe it's not a huge upgrade in terms if camera (still very average) but it is a noticeable difference overall . For me N4 feels like Gnex on steroids. Exactly what I was looking for and I don't need much more.

Hey man. I recommend you keep your current phone and wait for the next Nexus. The N4 has a problem registering touches and can be frustrating. A lot of owners will deny it, but if you have someone else try it out they will notice.

If you want to buy a device which really makes a difference and shows even more ambition in supporting custom roms, have a look at the oppo find 5.
It even features the custom roms:

I've had the GalNex for about a year and I recently jumped to the N4. I can tell you that you WILL notice a performance jump. I'm not sure why but GN lags when it's running 4.2.
If you can stand the GN, keep it. If you can't, get the N4.

Think you'll find everything you need there.
In my opinion, the phone is perfect in terms of build quality and performance. It has quad-core processor and that Tegra 3 chipset makes it wonderfull for hardcore gaming. However, that 1800mAh battery brings all those things down. 720p display and quad-core with that battery... If you use it with 3h+ display on you will have hard time making whole day with one charge.
But don't get me wrong! The HOX is decent phone and amazing for entertainment. I just wish it could have more juice like HOX+

I upgraded to sense5, change the cover from black to white.it looks new & i didn't feel that this device is going outdated. cause the 4.7 inch screen is the perfect size for me & even u can see HTC One go on with it. still, the quad-core tegra3 with 1gb ram having very good experience in games. i can wait to see the next generation after S4 or One. not going to change neither one even i got extra money.
