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

When it comes to updating a build of a custom ROM that uses a different Android version, what is the procedure? E.g. 'build 3' is based on 4.2.1, and 'build 4' on 4.2.2. Should I just have gone from having already installed build 3, downloaded build 4, and then boot up in recovery mode, wiped data (not /data/, or is that the same?), cleared the cache and the Dalvik cache and flashed build 4? Would that have been enough? Does that same procedure work if I were to upgrade custom ROMs that were based on say 4.2.2 to a 5.0 build or something, or is the difference so drastic that I need to do something else?
 
Nope still no good internet down to 2mb again, useable but not taking full advantage of the wifi - anyone else experiencing this.

To test make sure you have been in your wifi area for over an hour then run speedtest. Afterwards turn off wifi and back on and try again. The values should be the same.

you need to do a factory reset (delete user data) as well as cache and dalvik cache. then you need to flash the new radio. then you need re-do the above (factory reset, etc). then you need to flash the new custom rom. then gapps.

but imo it is usually better off flashing the stock google image to make sure the radio firmware gets updated properly rather than flashing it on its own.

so i would flash stock using the toolkit (very easy to do) and instead of using the file that the toolkit downloads, use the updated stock file from google so 4.2.2 instead of 4.1. then you need to unlock and root it. then you need to update recovery. then you need to do the factory reset, etc. then you need to flash the custom rom.

a lot of people do dirty flashes, but they are risking problems and stuff being leftover which doesn't need to be there that uses resources, etc. therefore imo it is better to be thorough.

i use titanium backup (paid for version) to backup all my data and apps so i go back to exactly how i was before. they are usually backed up onto my box or dropbox account.
 
Does anyone else have a problem with contact sync in Facebook?

I just got a Nexus 4 and the Facebook application wont sync with my contacts list, it's really annoying as it works perfectly on my S3. I do the 'sync now' option under 'accounts' in 'settings'.

Any ideas?

I think it is something to do with a dispute between Google and Facebook. Download Sync.ME from the Play store.

I was hoping that there was a better way using the inbuilt apps. On my S3 I can select a contact and their Facebook, Email, WhatsApp, Skype, LinkedIn and Google contact details come up and give you the option on how to contact the person. It's really slick, it just looks like its a Samsung add-on though as the default Android contacts list is a bit basic and I haven't found a better one on the Play Store.
 
Unless you know how to decompile the inbuilt contacts provider, edit it, re-compile and add some stuff to the contacts database, it's third party addons for you.

Well I seem to have found a temporary solution to this - set my wifi on the phone to 2.4ghz apears to keep the speed at +10mb now, whereas before after 2 hours it would go back to 2mb.

If anyone else does a speed test (after 2 hours of being connected to wifi) doesn't have to be using the wifi - would be interested if others experience the issue. The Google issue thread seems to push towards a combination of router and phone either a opendd or openwrt based router so if you have that combination definitely interested to hear results.

Thank you for checking. now I have set the apn type it seems to be working fine, very strange if that was the issue though. Going by the number of people with the issue I would suggest people do a speedtest, it's not immediately obvious there is an issue except for some lagging on hd videos.
 
Has anyone else tried to return something to Google? Sent my Nexus 4 back on 11/2 and not heard anything yet! I know they received it on the 12th though...

Tried phoning them but got bored after 10 mins of being on hold!
 
A few days ago phone updated to Jelly Bean 4.2.2. But now I notice jerky scrolling sometimes. And it seems 2 minute screen shutoff works when it wants to i.e. display will remain on until battery runs out.

Looks nearly identical to my Reath Ringke Slim, which FYI is brilliant!

Think you posted this case earlier in the thread and does look good, are the cutouts or buttons any good?

And think I have issues with wi-fi as well, never get above 2 or 3mb on my home connection.
