I am running ICS (stock, rooted) and have noticed that sometimes when I try to make a phone call, I cannot dial out (all calls fail). This happens until I toggle airplane mode on/off or reboot. Then it works again for some amount of time, but I eventually need to do the airplane mode toggle again.
Problem is that because I Just got the Vivid on Friday, I don't really know if the phone would do this on GB too (Vivid bug) or if this is something new (ICS bug)? It's not a big deal, but it is a little annoying.
Anyone else able to offer any input or feedback?
Thanks.
Been running Rum Float since it was released and have not had that problem. Currently using WCX ICS and again, having no problems other than what has already been noted in multiple locations (all no-sense related).
Thanks. I will needed to pay attention to when it is happening. I wonder if the phone gets stuck in LTE mode and therefore can't call out.

Can you tell me why you are not rooted. I'm just curious. I've seen a lot of people that say they are not rooted and or rooted but not running a ROM. I've done it a lot on my gnex but have not found the need to do it on this phone.

Same here. Still not rooted.

I just rooted last night, Stock kernel, Stock ROM. The only reason I rooted was so that I could calibrate my display on my phone. There is no other reason for me.
rooted but still using stock ROM
After rooted you can install so many useful apps (e.g. CWM Recovery, Titanium Backup Pro, Market Enabler, Root Explorer........)
Everything is good here, so why put development software on it.?
There's no reason to not root, or at least unlock the bootloader, when you first get the phone. It'll save you a ton of hassle down the road should you ever decide that you want or need root

Because you can? I don't have the bloody phone yet, but it's going to get rooted.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.
Yeah I'm unlocking the bootloader as soon as it arrives, I'll probably leave it stock for a bit but my last 3 devices I bought with the intention of leaving them stock, then decided to root later, and 3 devices I lost data on. So yeah just unlock it when you get it to leave the option open

I'm not rooted because:
1) I have no need to be. Stock does everything I want it to do.
2) Having root doesn't allow some apps to work such as Google Movies & TV.
3) I got sick of flashing ROMs, making backups, and restoring everything after a wipe.

Root is useful for some application like ads filter, anti virus like Avast with remote controls. It is only a choice to do if you really need it

You guys probably are not aware of the amazing custom Roms like paranoidandroid that gives you so much control of your phone. Also great kernels like matrix that gives you more Battery life. Stock is great but android is all about modding.

Oh nice. I'm glad they fixed that.
This is going to be my first android phone as I'm coming from blackberry and I was doing some research as to rooting my device. That's probably the direction I am going to go but I just had one question. What are the potential drawbacks of rooting your device? I read that some apps don't work such as banking apps and things along those lines. Just wanted to get all the possible information. I'm located in Canada, if that relates to any location specific apps.
Thanks
EDIT: Found some tutorials and threads, thanks
I did unlock the bootloader and I'm rooted, no ROM. I to got tired of flashing and making back ups and redoing my home screen multiple time a week if not every day. That's fun for awhile. But for me all the Roms are all the same for the exception of a few things. My phone runs great and I do get very good battery life. I can understand why some do it but I think android is at that point to where it does and have everything I want. I'm even thinking about unrooting my phone. Haven't needed any thing that requires root yet. I did have the display app for awhile for my screen but I've not used it that much and have not noticed that my screen is slightly yellow. My flickster app won't work when I'm rooted so I think I might unroot it.

I stayed unrooted for 8 days which is actually a record with any Android device. I liked stock and had no problems with it, but there were just a few features in Cyanogen that I love that aren't available in stock. And they're actually small things such as the volume toggles and the percentage number for battery. But they were worth it. So far my Cyanogen experience has been just as smooth as stock, so there really haven't been any drawbacks. I'm also using the Faux kernel which seems to have improved the wakelock problem the device was having on the stock kernel. I was able to get somewhere around 20 hours of battery life yesterday when I was getting around 12 on the stock kernel. I still haven't calibrated the display to my likings yet, but I'll get to that. Needless to say, I'm really enjoying having a Nexus 4.
I liked rooting my vivid because sense sucked, but I went with a aosp ROM and was very happy. Though, what I like more is messing with new software updates (official) and not being rooted just makes that easier to download. There's nothing I miss from rooting. Everything I did was to make the phone as smooth running as possible and that's what I got now.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Not rooted. The entire reason I rooted my old GS2 was to get AOSP on it. This has it in its purest, best form stock.
I root because I want to block ads, use titanium backup, Franco Kernel, AOKP (I have my menu and search button back plus the nav bar ring has more options than just google now). I use TWRP for backups in case I mash my phone and Google doesn't have images up yet... I can at least restore mine LOL. I use lots of tasker tasks with root. Use Datasync to auto backup and restore games and other app data on each device (not just when flashing ROMs. I mean I play a game and put down phone pickup tablet and data is already synced on there.). There's just so many things to do with it!
I will eventually, and most likely roll to CM, but until that time I just have no need for it.

Those who have the sudden reboot issue please get a kmsg of your boot process
su
cat /proc/kmsg > /sdcard/last_kmsg

Wait a 60 seconds then close window and upload, do this as soon as you boot. We need also a last_kmsg of the reboot issue if one is created (sometimes it isn't). For this just copy /proc/last_kmsg and upload after the reboot happens, if it doesn't exist then it wasn't created during your reboot. My friend @laufersteppenwolf is working on a fix for this, he thinks its due to bad sources, he already has my logs but some additional "testimony" might be helpful
The boot log is not required, only the log, recording the crash

Thanks mate, I'm gonna get my replacement tomorrow, if it still reboots I know how to reliably reproduce it. Kmsg sometimes gives different stuff, no pipe error, system bin files not existing, and sometimes no error at all. The games Modern combat 3 and 4 frequently cause this reboot, my favourite games seem to be the "control" here, damn seriously big thanks here, you don't even own the device!

Hey there i had those reboots problems on stock rom and kernel too. Started with the official update to .140.
Over a month of craziness I flashed yesterday .141 and since then not a single reboot. Ill report back in a few days if its still ok.

Which superuser app do you use? After switching from supersu to clockwork su reboots seem to have stopped. But sometimes they don't happen for a while. What I'm gonna do is use the app "root logger" to trace shell activity, maybe something I use is accidentally issuing this command, because it does it like terminal does it.

New from three, only a month in, they gave me a second one, still happens sometimes. The new .142 firmware helped, now it only seems to happen with < 35% battery, so I think it relates to that. You said you had some shutdowns on low battery too right? I think on the previous firmware something really intensive like playing modern combat 4 online caused some sort of power failure, on the new one its only unstable once the battery is low. So its bearable now, once my battery is that low I tend to recharge
Sent from my LT30p using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I am affraid that the battery in T is big fail. It is not normal, to have such big drop in voltage (in li-on battery) on heavy load.
In full load, the voltage drop can be about 300 - 400 mV, which means when you have 3,6V (which could be around 40%) and the battery drops to 3,2V, that the phone shuts down. Android probably doesn't know that, because it isn't stable 3,2V so there is no notification.
Install Cooltool, go to advanced, custom label path, write there "/sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8921-charger/power_supply/battery/voltage_now" and select labels, custom label.
Watch the voltage when playing.
I already ordered new battery, so I will test it with new.
Btw what is the capacity of your battery? There are two - 1850 and 1780 mAh.
Just a general post to see if those of you who got the update to work, if you really think it's worth it? Is it one step forward, two steps back? Are you happy that you updated or sorry you did? No, this post isn't necessarily a question post, just one to get people's opinions on the update in one place and not scattered between a few threads. Mods, if you feel this is redundant, that's fine. I'm just trying to generate some activity and input from the users on the update.
I did it and it seems a lot smother. But then I cf-autorooted and restored a nandroid of carbon rom. Don't know why but I seem to get better service.

3g icons suck big time. Looks like smeone took the small one and streched it in photoshop. Regarding benchmarking i scored this on antutu which makes me wonder how cheatfull is samsung on benchmarking. Am on stock 4.3 and rooted.
Agreed. The 3G icon looks aweful!!!
There are more fonts to change the phone to. Mobile Data is missing from the drop down. Reading mode was added. GSM data roaming was opened up while all roaming was turned off. It does feel much smoother.

You can update and keep root... I odined back to mf9 and used cf auto root to gain root access back. I then went into superSU and checked survival mode(keeps root even after ota). After that I downloaded the update and put it on my sd card. Once there I went into stock recover uodated from sdcard and now I have 4.3 still rooted.

I thought I read that option was removed in the latest OTA update however I'm still on 4.3 stock with goodies. I believe the bad boyz rom by omj added this feature back in according to the release notes. I also hate the lock screen and wouldn't run a rom without the disable feature. Might wanna consider flashing that rom. I plan on moving to it at some point. It also has many other bennifits.
