***The Official LG Nexus 4 Thread***

Lowest brightness possible. Always on WiFi, I live onsite at school with a 50mb business line connection.

82%, just over an hours screen time. Screen at 48%.
 
Just charge ya phone each day chaps. Stop worrying and enjoy it. If you charge daily u should be able to leave brightness on auto and enjoy your phone.

the phone is known for having poor battery life. the max to expect with screen on is 4-6 hours, therefore 82% with over an hour screen time sounds exactly right.

there is nothing wrong with the phone or the kernel, it is performing normally.

change it to auto and leave the phone alone now, see if you get a days usage out of it tomorrow using the phone normally (no abnormal amount of screen time)
 
anyone know another tutorial link on how to flash paranoid android?

so far Ive only managed to root and unlock the bootloader

the guides ive been reading is making me even more confused
 
Put Franco kernel on this afternoon. Cleared the Dalvaik cache and 'regular' cache, before charging to full to see how well it's been affected. Still in the honeymoon phase with this phone, so I've been messing around with it most of the day, browsing a bit of Play Store and such, and it's currently sitting at 58% left, 4h16m on battery with 2hrs screen time. That's pretty fantastic really.

4-6 hrs of screen on time is not POOR :) i don't know where you get this from?!
 
Charged mine up friday morning at work, still going fine with 22% left now and i've played games, used wifi for browsing and ran epic citadel benchmark a few times.
No different to when i owned a s3 but not quite as good as my note 2 on battery.
 
right I have a small issue which isn't at all related to the nexus but... I just realised I've gotten into the habit of imessaging my daughter as I got her an ipod touch for her birthday at around the same time I went back to an iPhone.

So now if I use the Nexus I'll be severing that tie which I'd prefer to avoid.

Are there any decent cross platform messaging apps we could use? I thought about whatsapp but it seems to need a phone number which clearly iPod touches don't have?

Anything else?
 
As I've said already, I've done that and everytime it's coming back to msm_hsic_host. See this morning's stats from 10 minutes ago.

Apps I have installed: all the preloaded ones/ones that come with it being rooted, Instagram, Twitter, Whatsapp, NHL Gamecenter, Netflix, XDA, Wifi Analyzer, Rom Manager, BetterBatteryStafs, franco.kernal.updater,

I'm seriously tempted to send this back already, I shouldn't be getting such awful results from a £280 phone. Even my Lumia 710 wasn't this bad!

Your pics don't work because you're linking from Gmail and they're not valid image links.

Rehost them to imgur or some place.

Forget the Franco kernel. Flash faux and report back

Important, coming from the franco kernel you need to flash the reset kernel first.

How about Skype? I think that's available on iPod Touch.
