My battery died, so I let it charge with the power off. When I powered the phone back on, I was able to toggle Bluetooth on and off. I guess the problem is intermittent. :manny:

Waiting to see what new phones come out next year before I buy a new phone.

My Inspire is still running strong with 4.2. I've been running 4.2 since the source code came out. :myman:

How to improve video recording with your Google Nexus 4

Nexus 4 might be many things, like the best value-for-money Android proposition right now, but camerawise it's not the sharpest tool in the shed, given that LG had skimped on the 13 MP unit gracing its more expensive Optimus G brother, and, overall, quality camera modules are not what LG mobiles are known with .

With a little bit of Android skills you can up the bitrate of the video recording from the Nexus 4, thus improve the quality of the footage you capture meaningfully. The mod is basically similar to what a lot of Nexus 7 users have done, and requires root access to change the files.

Using a file browser (like root explorer/es file explorer etc) go to the /system/etc folder
Make sure your system is mounted RW
Search for the media_profiles.xml file and open it up in any text editor
Once you scroll down you will see the following:

<EncoderProfile quality="1080p" fileFormat="mp4" duration="30">
<Video codec="h264"
bitRate="12000000"
width="1920"
height="1080"
frameRate="30" />
<Audio codec="aac"
bitRate="96000"
sampleRate="48000"
channels="1" />
</EncoderProfile>


Change the bitRate from 12000000 to 20000000
Save and reboot.

So far, so good, this gives you 20Mbit encoding, which is much better than the 12Mbit default value, but makes the video files larger, of course, so if you are space-tight, have this in mind.

Alternatively, you can just try a dedicated app like lgCamera from Google Play, which lets you change the bitrate, but also has many other adjustments that delve deep into the manufacturer's settings. We managed to set our office Optimus G to 60fps Full HD video recording at 20Mbit with it, for example, and you can find the app in the source link below, along with the XDA-Devs thread for manually fixing the bitrate.

Its easy Math...Carriers Pay LG 650$ up front to make the optimus G


Google pays them 350$ to make the nexus 4... Which product would you make first lol. LG gave google the supply that they ordered. Google just got overwhelmed.
