Nexus Excitement - Nexus 4 General

I know many are just excited as I am about the N4 so I want to talk about all the good things about it. Is anyone else more anxious about the phone because of the lack of the press event? I find myself checking every couple hours for a good hands on video to admire. Ahhh, the nexus butterflies all over again

The only hands on videos are from reviewers at a Google demo. Actual review units have been sent out already apparently. We will have to wait until the NDA lifts to see the results though and I imagine it will not be until the week of release.

This is one I've seen that shows off the hardware pretty well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5OOKh6CGzc&feature=youtube_gdata_player. I have to say the phone looks stunning. Seeing the phone at mostly odd angles and short clips makes me more curious about it. I'm super excited

I'm a fan of SAMOLED but this LCD has impressive colors and black level even when she cranked up the brightness.

I was a fan but not so much after owning three phones that had it. I want more accuracy now and brighter screens. The only things that made my galaxy nexus' screen usable was the color/gamma mod and supercurio's app. I look forward to the change

I think separately looking on what you get in the box on the play store page. When the verge did their video it was still in prototype.

Request the Game Gripper for the D3, DO IT NAO!!!

Everyone go to this site
http://www.game-gripper.com/Articles.asp?ID=245
and request a game gripper be made for the Droid 3. This is a great little accessory especially if you love reliving your childhood gaming years... (yeah I'm old, and what???)
UPDATE: VICTORY!!!! http://www.game-gripper.com/category_s/49.htm
Done.

Thanks for bringing this up, this is what I was looking for.
Sweet. Done.
Done. Write them a nice little message, hope they take the time to read it. I'd say we have a decent shot as they made one for the Droid 1 and Droid 2.
Did mine a week or two ago.
I sent mine in around the time the D3 came out. Dev said most likely will release, but nothing planned as of yet. I liked it for the D2, but it slid around alot if you got too intense in your gaming. I thought about trying to retrofit the D2 on the 3, but the keyoard is just too damn big.
i'd like GG to come out with something more akin to a protective case. something hard, that physically snaps on to the keyboard (around the edges).
Definitely need one of these for the D3!
I sent them an email when the phone was officially released and this was the response I was given at that time.

Sorry, we have not yet decided if we are going to make one. If we do, it will be a couple months away.

add camera on the N7 - Lol... for fun! but i like it

I just don't see this happening (nor do I really see a point to it - I've had tablets with cameras, useless). Anyway, if you really want a camera for your tablet, here:
http://www.looxcie.com/
Small, works over bluetooth, compatible with a bunch of devices, and a reasonable cost (buy once, use for many years). Who knows there may be others out there too, that was the first one I found in a 2 minute google search. >_>
EDIT: Actually now that I think of it this is probably more ideal than having a camera in the device. This way you don't have to look like a tool trying to angle your tablet for a shot, you can just move the little camera around and leave the tablet on the table or whatever as a view finder. Seems a lot more flexible... I might get one to play with...
Yes, thank so much for that, i think your idea about camera out of device is great, same my idea. Because im vietnamess, so this camera it difficult to find and buy it. Ha ha im apprecia about that. Nice to talk to u. Thank

wow, i've never seen such an intuitive design!!! this is gonna be SO useful! thank you so much!!
The tablet can clearly have a camera, all you need to do is find the compatible one, solder it in and hope that the traces are there and that it can be supported in android. Start looking at other asus tablets with rear cameras.
This will be the device that your camera comes from.

I think the N7 whooped ass.
I took a little trip to Best Buy. I really liked the screen on the FireHD. The Mini isn't even that much different then a regular iPad. There is like an inch difference. "30% Bigger" when the idea is smaller is better = fail.

What a life changing revelation. Let's meditate on that so we can all appreciate the profound wisdom it represents.
I must just be too old to "get it" but I see nothing funny or entertaining about the "will it blend" crap. It seems pretty fricken stupid to me.

It's not supposed to be funny. It is supposed to be an entertaining advertisement for how amazingly hardcore their blender is.
I have watched the will it blend videos for over five years and never once have I "lol"led at one.

The iPad Mini is really cool at the first step.
This is inane. Obviously none of you have studied the centrifugal properties of rotational velocidensity at high accelerations. The degradation of the spacetime curve is quite obvious to the trained eye, with signs of mitochondrial necrosis in the sub units of all three devices. From this video one can conclude that the nexus 7 does in fact possession greater tensile biokinetic adhesion while the other two have electrical neo synthesis in spades.
Tricked hard.
I really hate these stupid vs posts. Can't we just stick to posts that pertain to the N7 only?

Thanks for the video. Friday's almost here!
I didn't realize they put the power button on the top left. That's a weird spot to put it...I do like that they put the proximity sensors on the left side of the front. That is a major design flaw on my s3 at the moment (every time I'm on a phone call and I try to swipe down notifications, screen will turn off since it registers my thumb.)

This was the same problem with the EVO 4G LTE. I'd always end up tripping the proximity sensor when I swiped down the notification bar during calls and what not. I like the new position, and it adds a little more industrial aspect to the overall look of the handset.

explicit, how is that battery holding up?
Also, it might be a network issue, but my LTE would have trouble with incoming texts that are more than 160 chars. So I would receive the 2nd text first, then the initial text would come in second. (When one long text gets broken down into 2). I was wondering if the One did this too.

Cyanogenmod Nemesis

Just getting everyones thoughts and speculation as to what this might be...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=PcpyavQSvMk
I'll be frank and say I'm not really caring at all.
1st. If it's that great.. Just show it.. Stop with the Michael Bay movie trailer style teasers for an Android feature..
2nd. I haven't cared for anything Cyanogenmod has put out since Gingerbread and not seeing this as anything but another piece of bloatware they include.

I agree with the first point completely. But you gotta give credit where credit is due, especially if you're running a non-stock ROM. A lot of the custom features are based off cm code, especially in all these kitchen-sink Roms you see on the Dev boards now a days. CM is the originators, not the duplicators.

I love this post a ton. Kudos!
i think it has something to do with a new camera feature in which the camera takes multiple photos and allows you to select the best one. Or maybe even eliminate unwanted elements in a photo as seen in new lumia phones. What ever it is.. I cant wait for it!
Maybe its the new 4.3 CM Rom or a phone with CM as stock.
Like the suggestion of it being a Rom for an Iphone. How much would that upset Apple
Did anyone recognize that phone on teaser? Narrow bezel, not-so-good screen (low viewing angle), Android 4.2.2 and "FREE" sign instead of carrier name.
I think there's something more than camera.
EDIT: Look at the lockscreen wallpaper. Maybe it is red (but because low viewing angle it is kinda blueish)... like on Android 4.3?

I know for sure it is a french phone. Free is a carrier and an internet provider in France. Makes me think of a nexus device, and it looks like the google edition wallpaper.
These buzzwords make me believe that they might start a second path and include stuff they want to see in android, which is too far from googles guidelines
and therefore not included in regular cyanogen mod:
Complete UI overhaul, colors, animations, functions...
But then there is the lockscreen in this trailer, which just looks like stock android.
So we can just wait and enjoy what might come...
