Somebody Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 ^^ @shanti... Yeah, like Athek said, the updates were out very quickly after the release to Nexus devices, and the One and S4 will probably have better hardware that whatever the next Nexus is gonna have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shantz Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 they were extremely quick with 4.3, HTC One had the update in less then 2 weeks(while it was still being rolled out in phased manner for Nexus 4). So ya they work absolutely fine.I know about 4.3. I had to scramble for that..especially for the one as they made deal just few days before announcing it I'm waiting to see how they support it for 4.4 as two should at least give an indication of a trend.

Though it's far less annoying than the actual website though because their non-classic version won't let me "Send to Car" or the way they changed Gmail.

Gautam Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 BTW I don't see how you're saying the N4 has a mediocre display. Anandtech's testing showed deeper blacks and a better contrast ratio than even the iPhone 5. Subjectively, the iPhone 5 display looks much much better than the N4 display to me. I guess it's got something to do with the color temperatures, but the N4 looks a bit dull/washed out compared to the iPhone 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Maps has a "send to car" option? edit: Never mind. Apparently it does. https://support.google.com/maps/answer/75505?hl=en "This service allows you as a BMW Assist subscriber to use MyInfo to send business listings and street addresses found in Google Maps to your vehicle: Simply search for businesses or street addresses on Google Maps and send the listing to your BMW."

I use it with my BMW all the time (since I have the Navigation package) and when they tried to bump me over to the stupid new maps interface I reverted to Classic maps. There's also a third party app on the Play Store that allows you to do the same thing with the phone's maps which breaks each time they change it :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Somebody Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Guys... The microphone volume on my HTC One is really low for VOIP calls. My friends complain only when I use Fring or Vonage or some other app to make VOIP calls. The normal GSM calling seems to be loud enough. This could all be due to the apps or the One, but is there any way I can use Tasker or something to increase the microphone sensitivity/loudness when I open these apps? I'm rooted btw. @gaurav... yeah. That's a problem with most third party apps. Hopefully they'll fix it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Hellsboy_ Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) @gaurav: lol why go all ape sh*t when no one even compared two phones Nexus 4 was a mediocre phone at best, the best thing was the Timely Support and Price. The screen was mediocre, the proc was decent, camera is bad. The HTC one and S4 google edition are the real beast, and i am not sure if Nexus 5 would be close to G2. G2 is a flagship device, just like how optimus G pro was(better screen, better camera, better proc). Nexus 4 is also 12k cheaper than the phones you mentioned bro.. At this price, there is no other option IMHO Ok, so I see you mentioned price.. Still I dont think there is any point in comparing 2 phones which are so far apart in cost.. Nexus 4 is mediocre compared to one yes.. But it isnt mediocre considering the cost.. Edited September 13, 2013 by _Hellsboy_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still maintain and agree Nexus 4 is a great VFM money. It's more like you get what you pay for, and Google has done a great job in subsidizing it.

I wasn't comparing it to the new iPhone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
