Hi
I was listen a lot peoples talking about Nexus 4 have some problems with overheating, and I can be include in this list too, but my problem with overheating was solved when Orange give me a real micro Sim, before this I cut myself the old Sim to Micro Sim but I don't do this right, but with the real microSim my nexus are much better cold and the battery life.
I hope this information help can somebody.
Hmmm sure why not, it could possible. if the self cut micro SIM was dated and possibly made it tougher to transmit anything due to it being old and not fully "4g capable" thus causing the phone to strain more.

When he got a new, factory cut micro sim to replace the one he cut himself from a full sized sim, his battery life and phone temperature improved.
If you need more help, feel free to pm me.

Wow, when I did a terrible hack job on my sim card, I didn't even think it would work as I accidentally cut into the gold metal strip. Not only did it work, I didn't notice any difference whatsoever in heat or battery life. Placebo maybe...??...
Needs more science no speculation please.

It is less likely a poor cut job and more likely a faulty sim card to begin with. I do notice that the harder the radio has to work, the hotter the back glass gets. You may have not noticed your sim card was not up to snuff with your previous phone because it didn't have a back glass that heats up like the N4.

Even my SIM cut with a SIM cutting tool gave me some problems which were extremely unusual and i thought my phone had a bad radio. Swapped SIMs and life seems good again.
Worth mentioning maybe that the gold circuit on my sim was much much larger than on newer SIMs. It was almost the entire micro SIM size. My current micro can be chipped down to a nano without losing any circuitry.
I noticed no difference when moving from my hand cut (without a template) micro SIM and a factory produced micro SIM.
You know the sales person at the T-Mobile store I go to said they don't sell micro SIMs, so he has to cut a normal one if I want a replacement. I wanna compare a micro to a cut sim but it looks like the store isn't helpful. And do you guys know if current customers have to pay for micro sims?

Simple trick
Bad sim cutters generally leave slivers on the edges of the newly cut sim. A simple trick is to take a nail file and file the edges smooth. Make sure ur sim now sits flush into the card tray of the phone.
Slip it in.. Problem solved.
Hit thanks if this helped!
The thing is that there are actually different types of SIM. I had an old one... about 5 years old.. that didn't allow my lte to work, swapped for one of the new ones and lte worked.... this is with doing the lte hack of course... but I don't think it affected the heat from my phone. But every phone is different and there are "older" SIMs that could be a factor. Not like this is going to go anywhere since nobody is going to experiment this theory anyways lol

I bought a Nexus 4 on the 22nd June. The store guy used a cutter to cut my sim into a micro sim.
From the very beginning I noticed that the battery was draining very quickly even when I would not use the phone at all (for example one night it was 75% when I went to bed and morning it was below 50%). I had no apps installed and all data connections (WiFi/3G) were turned OFF.
The max life I got out of the battery was not more than 18 hours! (1 hr screen time)
I installed Battery Stats Plus and found that the Sim Toolkit was the top of the list in the wake usage. I was surprised and then came across threads like this and figured it might be an issue with the micro sim.
I got a new micro sim from my carrier (Vodafone India) on the 29th June. On comparing the two SIMs, I found that older cut SIM had one of the edges at a slight angle instead of being perfectly straight. This allowed some play of the sim in the phones sim slot. The new sim has no play what so ever.
With the new sim, the battery life has improved significantly. Average time is close to 1day 6hrs (with WiFi ON most of the time and a few calls).
I'm now strongly inclined to believe the micro sim should be either cut to perfection or better to just use a new one provided by your carrier.
I'll attach a few screen shots later (I'm at work).

My wife has a Droid 1 that I gave to her when I upgraded to the Charge.
I just used her upgrade to order a Droid 3.
Not accounting for 4g which I don't really care about for myself, which of the two phones would you keep for yourself? All I need to do is swap SIM cards if I decide to go with the Droid 3 for myself.
Well, it's not quite as easy as swapping SIM cards with those 2 phones, since the D3 has a global 3G SIM and the Charge has a 4G SIM. I had to take the two phones into a VZW store when I did the same thing last month.
As for which one to keep, it really depends on what you want out of your phone? Fan of physical keyboards and dual-core processors? Go for the Droid3. Fan of 4G, SAMOLED displays, and unlocked bootloaders? Go for the Charge. Fan of both? Well, now you're in a rough spot...
Honestly it's a tough choice. Both are very worthy phones, and I second-guess my decision to switch to the D3 to the Charge pretty often, because I loved the features of both. But I'm certainly not un-happy with my D3.

Did Verizon charge you to do the sim swap when you went to the store?
And yeah, I'm a fan of both so I can't make up my mind lol.
Well, after talking to my wife, I think I'm taking the droid 3.
She will need the extended battery my Charge has to make it through the day in her building.
Cheers everyone.
Nope, they did not charge me for the sim swap. I was adding a new line of service though, so I'm not certain if that's just something that they'll always do free of charge.
Sent from my DROID3 using XDA Premium App
I have been into the verizon store multiple times because i switch phones all the time, they have never charged me for the sim swap.
tbh you dont need an extended battery with the droid 3, I use my droid 3 heavely and havent had a problem making through a day. if you got a bad d3 that I guess would make a difference.
Yeah, I know I won't need one. But she will. even her Droid 1 has problems. She is in an old school building with thick concrete and steel, so she searches for a signal constantly. So she gets the charge with the extended battery, and I get the new hotness with dual cores. I think we both win.
I got home from work to find that my N7 had been delivered.
It would not turn on!!
After some googling and trying to reset from bootloader, and nothing, then came across a topic about battery connection being loose!
Ant it turns out that mine was loose!
Come on Asus, surely it coiuldnt have come loose in transit as when I popped it back on the click was quite hard, so it can't have been in properly from the factory, I hope this is not a sign of things to come?

Seems a common issue.
Had similar issue. And now case creaks after I opened it to connect battery properly.
I noticed that battery was all the way to the one side of the case and that cable to board was not long enough, so when I plugged battery in properly it moved battery slightly. Maybe this movement caused the creaking, as maybe battery is supposed to be flush against one side of case.
Never had this on previous nexus 7 tablets. This one is a 32gb model when all my previous were 16gb.

I admit, i'm an htc fanboy for many years. Heck, this website was born from an htc device. I am waiting on the note 3 as a secondary device (to mount in the car and use as a general tablet like device while keeping my one as my main handset due to size). If htc would make something like the note, 6- 6.5 inch screen etc., i'd be all over it. I'm starting this thread as sort of a petition for such a device. I'd also value any opinions but please keep it constructive. As soon as this becomes a "my samsung beats your htc beats your iphone beats your nexus" discussion, it will be closed by moderators and rightfully so. Try to keep it positive and see how many votes we can get FOR such a device. If you hate htc, buy a samsung and have a fabulous day!

I am a galaxy note user and thinking about my next device too. I would love to see a bigger HTC One, even though Note 3 will be overwhelming, I guess. The One is just amazing. And a newer HTC One multimedia giant with nice speakers 'sounds' even better ...
For me, it will depend mainly on design (hopefully no plastic-based Note 3) and if HTC can imitate nice features like multi window or air view (or/and build up other ones).

There are rumours all over the internet about a so-called "HTC One Max" - a 6" version of the One. I can't think of any better middle-ground between phone and tablet as I think the HTC One is a truly gorgeous device. Now if they make a tablet that is similar then I'll wee in my pants, change them and go to the shop to purchase it immediately.

I'm sure they are but if there are rumors, there's a possible market for it. It seems like a risk for them right now but if the one is bringing them back , and i hope it is, they may get back in the game. They're getting atention with the one. Pa 3+ is being officially released on it soon. Do you by chance remember the htc advantage?

I don't care what they call it, with snapdragon 800 and an sd slot i'm in. It does appear they've been working on a phablet regardless.

It needs to have:
- 32GB or above MicroSD!!! If not then never mind.
- Full HD (no more halfwitted 720/800 junk. Enough with the 2001 graphics.)
- Snapdragon 800
- Pen support. It's hard to beat the Wacom-supported Spen.
- 3GB or more RAM.
For me to consider it over the Note 3. The HTC One was never a serious contender for me, because 90% of the time I do not have an active WiFi connection, and I need the large extended storage space. (You try doing 6 hours a day by train without a large pack of decent film to watch.)

I admit it was tough for me to go with a32g device. I worked it out though as I'm still using the evo lte in the car for media nav hands freedialing texting etc. That's where the phablet's going whether htc or Samsung. As long as it has a card slot 16 gig is not a problem for me. 2 meg ram is more than enough on the one but more would still be fantastic. That's where the real performance improvements come in. I'll trade 4 extra cores for a gig of ram any day.

Most phones come with locked bootloader. Anyhow this isn't a comparison of the one and s3/4. I'm looking for people who WANT an htc phablet the rumors of which imply a removable micro sd fyi.

just ordered my first nexus phone. iPhone sold on amazon so there is no turning back for me. did not like the g2 being expensive and big. this phone is slightly smaller so i think ill like it more especially without that power button on the back lmao. but one think that won't let me sleep tonight is the low battery and the crappy camera shots taken and posted online already.
if they charged you 100$ more would you of liked to see a 12mp camera like on the xperia z1 and the g2's battery ? or is it fine the way it is at the moment because of the low price ?
besides this phone the only other catching my attention is the Z1s, which is a 4.3 screen so its perfect between the iPhone and a bigger phone like this but most importantly its waterproof and i work in the pool industry as well as having expandable memory via micro sd .... if i don't like the nexus 5 whats the return process like in the google play store and does anyone know any other alternatives besides the Z1s form sony xperia ?
Yes I would have been willing to pay maybe $450 for 3000mah battery. The camera shots I've seen so far seem to be pretty adequate/much improved over N4
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I agree, I'd pay more if it had a bigger battery but not 50 dollars more, maybe 30 but 50 is pushing it a bit for me just for a battery upgrade. As for the camera, as long as they improved it over the N4 I'll be happy.
The Nexus 4 battery has not been a problem for me, so maybe not.
More mehapixels does not mean better pictures, just putting that out there. That being said I wouldn't mind an extra millimeter to depth for a bigger battery, and maybe a little higher price.

I'll wait to judge the battery when I receive the phone. Camera seems adequate to me. I would pay for a micro sim slot though. 50 bucks for a micro slim? No problem.

LOL, that's what I was thinking of!
Yes. I'm willing to pay like $549 or even $599 if you give me a true flagship.
But knowing the N5's price, I'd say at $599 I'd better be getting 64gb of storage too, maybe a 2MP front camera would be nice too at that point. 1080p right?
Sure, I'd pay more for that. Main attraction of the Nexus range is the developer support, openness, fast updates, pure android, not the price.
Nexus will never be the best of the best. If it was top of the line in every spec, why would you go for any other phone? The nexus would kill all android competition because it would guarantee fast updates along with the best specs. For the sake of android and not screwing other manufacturers, it keeps the competition going but gives a nice price and fast software updates to make up for what it lacks.

You don't need a better battery, did you see the battery improvements Google made yesterday? All audio processing goes go the dsp to save battery, 4G radios are much more efficient than the G2 or note 3. Things like wifi and 4G are more often in a low powered state. So I reckon battery life should be a beast.
And the camera is perfectly adequate with true HDR

I was willing to pay 450 euros for a 32 gb+ 3000 mah version :crying: not more than that, hey the LG G2 costs 466 euros (the 16 gb version) so it shouldnt be more expensive than that ... I traded a 3000 mah battery (MAJOR thing for me) and a good camera for stock android (most important thing to me) a matte finish, buttons on the sides, hopeit's worth it google
I'd pay more if they offer me :
1. 3000+ mah battery
2. dual stereo front facing speaker like htc one series
3. micro sd slot
4. maybe slightly more screen size, about 5.3 inch perhaps?
if only nexus 5 have those 4, that will be the most perfect phone this year.
I'd definitely pay more for battery and storage options. I did the math and the manufacturing cost difference between G2 and N5 can't be more than 5 euro!
So yes I'd pay 100 euro on top of 32GB version for a 64 gb version with a bigger battery.
If kitkat will be better in power management, the improvement will apply to a 3,000mAh battery as well!!

I will spare you all the usual review crap. I got mine from Tmo on the 19th. I came from a g3. At first I didn't like the size but now that I've adjusted it's fine. I find myself using landscape a lot and I like that. I've been averaging around 4 to 5 hours sot depending on my day, location, and type of usage. I have to say that LP at first was just kind of cool. I thought "hmmm, a few cosmetic changes but still the same old android (not a bad thing)." But after using LP for almost a week all the differences really stand out. I love LP. The difference is in the little details. I love custom roms, kernels etc but honestly this thing is GOOD right out of the box. I've never heard boomsound but I really love the n6 speakers. Build quality is SOLID. I think the blue color is different but not my taste, plus it loves to hold onto finger prints. I bought a spigen slim hard case for ten bucks, problem solved. I've forgotten what FCs, stutters, lag, reboots, and general frustration were like. This phone and LP is a game changer in my book. Do yourself a favor and get one. Spend some time with it. You have nothing to lose. If you don't like it, trade it or sell it easily. Only phone I've had that I didn't regret buying in any way and I've only had it less than a week. I usually get a new phone every 4 to 6 months, but I can see myself keeping this for a long time.
Do you like to root and use custom roms? I think that is the biggest question to ask first, and if the answer is yes then there's no contest, go nexus. If you use it stock, it becomes a little harder. I've never had a sony so I can't say anything about it, other than being IP rated would be nice (waterproof is something I think all phones should be in 2015).
I can say there's a 200 plus page rant about whether to get the note 4 or nexus 6, it was a good idea for a thread but devolved into childish bickering. I have the nexus and so far I love everything about it. I have only had it 1 day so I can't say anything about the battery life, from what I've read the M8 has great battery so I don't know if you'll see much difference. I know the N6 is way better than the N5 so far.
And the front speakers are great, again never had an HTC boomsound but compared with the N5, the note 4 and the S3 the N6 sounds much better. Again, IMO front speakers are something I think all 2015 phones should have.
The front stereo speakers may not be quite HTC Boomsound, but it'll be less of a drop-off than any other phone on the market.
When it comes to sound quality, if you have to leave the M8, the N6 would be the natural second choice.
If you're losing service in buildings a lot, though, it's no question. Grab the N6 and enjoy Band 12.
Sorry for the misspell

I used be all into rooting and custom Roms but with work having smartphone apps that are a pain to register I don't really do it anymore besides lollipop negates the need for rooting except ad blocking
