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

Anyone using Exchange ActiveSync with the built in mail client? I setup my work email the other day and it is hammering the battery, even though I have disabled push.

Exchange Services is the culprit according to the battery stats. Before I was getting 1.5 days battery life. Now it barely lasts 10-12 hours (less at times).

Out of interest what are the battery stats showing. I use the mail client with exchange but I am not aware of it sucking the battery. Then again if got 36 hours on the battery i would be very happy with
 
Nexus4 is really looking good while sleeping with 4.2.2 and Faux kernal. I'm comfortably getting 2 days use out of the phone right now which is huge, the battery loses about 1% every 6 hours while sleeping. This was how my battery looked when I got up this morning.

I currently have stock kernel in the N4 - is the main reason to root a device for battery life or are their other gains. Finding something that talks about he benefits of the different kernels seems to be challenging. Anyone got a quick summary of the different kernels and positives on each one?

The two main reasons I am using the Faux kernal is for colour correction, and battery life. Honestly I think it is well worth it.
 
Does that mean that in theory, people can add features to the default camera app, and create a sort of "Cyanogen mod of the camera" type thing?

Yeah, in theory it should make these type of things much easier, and like maybe porting features from other OEMs skins that people might want, not 100% sure but I think a lot of the difficult part that normally messes up is the drivers and HAL which should be better now.

I use it with my Outlook.com account, push 24/7 and it doesn't seem to be raping my battery.
How do I get the contacts to sync pics with Facebook like my evo 3d did?

Loving my N4 so far. Battery life has been epic.

Just one question. Is there a way to show the number of unread emails for the email, gmail and sms icons?
 
My battery life has been shocking recently. Charged the phone up before I went to bed last night.

It's now 09:43 this morning and I have just got a 12% battery warning...

Dashclock shows Gmail and SMS, not sure about normal email app, there might be a Dashclock plugin (like the Facebook and twitter ones!!) :)

Thanks for that - now using Nova and it does everything I want. Just about to make some new fancy icons for my home screen too.
 
so anyone here had s2 before n4? is camera alright? also shutter lag? is it the same as the previous nexus with 0 shutter lag?
 
Camera is good. It requires IMO more of a steady hand compared to previous phones. And I don't think its the phones strongest point
