Given he's on Verizon, I'm guessing it's the Samsung extended battery for the i515.
no the samsung one from verizon..
Okay I'm nearing the end of my first day with my new nexus. 5h 23m on battery with about 20 minutes of in car charging halfway through the day. I'm currently at 14% with 2 hours of screen time this seems pretty bad compared to my older Droid 2, will the run time improve over time?
I'm a average to heavy user so I was considering the extended battery but it wasn't in stock at the store. If anyone who owns an OEM extended battery or the seidio 3800mah could give me some insight on whether they think it is worth the extra money.
Thank-you in advance.

Stay on 3G until you need LTE.
Your Droid 2 was 3G only.
Is there an application or Widget that can make the process faster or easier?

BAMF has a widget as well, that can also be used with Tasker.
I searched BAMF on the market and didn't see anything what should I search for or is it an off market app?

It is part of the rom.

Oh. Well I promised myself I would leave this stock for at least a month but I'll keep that in mind.

Well that's half of your problem. You're on a buggy battery drinking 4.0.2 base.
good day.
Is it really that bad?

I have the s3 and its a great phone but not that impressed. I don't use any of the voice features or anything and since the jb update I have had battery and other issues. A friend wants to trade for his nexus 4 and I am wondering if anyone has thoughts. Other then no expansion on memory or changing battery what do you think? I have watched many videos but I trust xda members more then comparison videos.
Oh I know lte also but I dont use lte much anyway.

People in my area seam to think the note 2 is a bar of gold. They have them priced close to and even above what you can buy them new no contract price. While they are pricing the s3 around 250. Plus I had the note 1 and hated the size. I am an update junky which is why I am thinking about it.

The Nexus 4 is not all hype its got same CPU as the Note II which is the fastest processor available in a phone right now. If the Note II wasn't so thick and bulky i would get it but I prefer the S3 because of additional storage and removable battery 16gb just isn't enough for me but if it is for you get the Nexus 4 you wont be disappointed with either.

I have an S3 and my GF has an LG Optimus G. I wanted to see her get a Nexus 4 but we gave up. That said I'm impressed with the Optimus G, based on feel and hardware I would pick the LG phone, but I am very pleased with my S3. The performance and battery life of the LG is amazing, also black is a good color for a phone.
Lovin' my rooted S3 running stock 4.2.1 but if you're not into rooting N4 is a great choice especially the price of it. Can't really go wrong with either imo. It all comes down to preference

Actually, the Nexus 4 and the Optimus G have the same processor. S4 Pro. The Note II uses Samsung's own quad core processor (same as the S3 International)
Its like comparing apples to oranges. The Optimus G has no dev support, so that's a no go for me. Also heard the camera is brutal in low light. Yet the phone has some amazing specs for a decent price.
The Nexus 4 has amazing specs, and for the price nothing beats it. I can live with no expandable memory as long as I got 16GB. Hilariously, people are selling them for $500 to $600 because they are hard to get. I'll just wait till its back in stock.
And the golden Note II. I'll get one some day. But not for $650 to $800. Imagine telling my wife we can't afford the mortgage this month cause I bought a phone Lol. Almost as stupid as people paying over $800 for a iPhone 5. Ludicrous.

Can you live without LTE? Question is self explanatory if you aren't in a LTE market.
Need more than 16gb? Nexus isn't for you.
Battery whore? Need not apply with nexus 4.
Only person that can answer these questions is themselves.

Are we talking stock for stock? With software modifications LTE can be enabled with the nexus 4.
Is the battery life really that bad as well? I haven't heard any complaints. But then again I'm not poking around on the Nexus forums. It feels like cheating

I'd wait a few months until more 5 inch 1080p phones come out

Correct, that's my mistake I thought the Note II featured the same S4 Pro found in the Optimus G and Nexus 4. The international Note II and apparently the US versions as well have the slightly upgraded Exynos 4212 @ 1.6ghz compared to the original 1.4ghz 4212 found in the International S3. To be fair though the S4 Pro might be a tad bit faster and more secure, not sure if you heard about the Exynos kernel exploit but the S4 Pro seems a bit of a better option at this point.

Wait or go with nex if 16gb is enough for ya . On s3 - i wouldn't really recommend buying a device with previous gen soc when alternatives are available or are sure to become available in short time
leap before you think

if you go on the Nexus 4 forum, you'll see a lot of complain about the battery.
And according to this test : http://mobileraptor.blogspot.ca/2012/12/google-nexus-4-battery-life-tests.html
if you only use your nexus to make call, you'll be fine. However, for everything else, the battery drains a lot faster than the GS3 :

S3 lags. But Nexus 4 is a different case. It never stutters when transitions between apps to apps and open a new app unlike the S3 which I hate that problem a lot on my S3. I believed that Samsung screwed up the Project Butter for all Mali 400MP devices.

Note 2 uses exynos 4412 not 4212, s4 pro is definitely better soc compared to exynos 4412

A couple friends have N4's, the battery is horrific. Theyre all on custom roms running conservative n everything and just cant beat my CM with standard settings.

N4 was a huge let down from Google.
Hi there, I've just bought the S4 and I made a backup before in my external sdcard, but I'm wandering if I can use that info now... Once I root the S4 how can I have that info back?
I had the twecked version on the Note 2 , is there anything similar on the S4?
Thanks
Some backup apps allow you to restore data between devices. Usually paid ones though.

Hey I don't have an answer to your question. But I want to know what's the difference you see in the two devices. Do you think the s4 is better and in what way. And how's the battery life compared to three note 2 I've Bern thinking of switching over myself but battery life is so good on the note 2

I can't tell you about the battery because I bought it today, however, it depends of the user, I had cpu sleeper and I had a few process that would start automatically with the system + a battery saver app from go and more thngs that kept my battery on the note 2 on for a while. I'm planing to do the same with the S4, if you want in 2 days send me a message to check
This is my first note, I thought It would be laggy but its so smooth, Im just wondering about development, since it only been out a while can we expect to see Google wallet DPI changes, and all around ROM and theme goodness.? I love my s4 but feel better with the note, thnx an advance.. Gotta sell one , choices choices.
