Sounds like it might be hardware damage. Did you check and see if the battery has a proper connection. Does it turn on and off by itself or only when you move it?

only when i trow it let say in a table a bit hard but if i just lay it it wont

If you throw your sensitive electronic device at a table, it shuts off? Stop throwing your phone.
Sounds like a loose battery or bad power connection somewhere.

Yeah we get it.
Don't do that.

Be nice to your expensive phone that would cost $200 to replace even if you bought it used.

Mine does the same thing when I drop my phone on my bed... It is caused by a little play between the battery and the battery cover. Apiece of paper folded and cut to the size of the battery and placed between the battery and cover has done the trick for me, and I believe it is just because of wear on the battery cover from pulling it too often...

Mine started after a bad drop last night and won't reboot until I do a battery pull.

I have always had a simplistic look on things... Duck tape can fix anything round these here parts!

If Duct Tape can't fix something (anything!) it's either damaged far beyond any hope for repair, or it wasn't really broke in the first place.
There's not a lot of middle ground.

Well phrased, and I'm glad that when my phone fell off the bathroom counter and bounced screen first off the hardwood floor, there wasn't a sign it had ever moved, aside from some dirt on the screen

Capacitive buttons be gone! :)

I am making this post in resonse to a request to see if this phone will boot okay with the capacitive button unplugged. Im happy to report that it does and works flawlessly im currently running aokp *not this does not only turn off the "lights" it completly disables the buttons.
Im going to upload a video soon.

Forgive the silly question, but keeping the capacitive buttons offers us more real estate, correct? The GNex can get away with having on-screen buttons since the screen itself is like 4.7", not 4" like the Epic...
Beyond the aesthetic value, is there something I'm missing related to the capacitive buttons?

I think it'll just come down to preference. Some people just like the idea of the on-screen buttons, even if it takes up some space.

Would help me get used to the onscreen buttons when I get my gnex

This whole concept of a phone being sexy is foreign to me. I'm not judging either way, just not sure how I could think of my phone as Sexy... Maybe if I gave it a name?

i only get bugged about is my damn "FAT BATTERY" they say stupid things like " OMG like your phone is too huge" or "that's ugly as hell" whats funny as hell when i don't have my charger by my side 24/7 because i can along time with having to recharge it.

Lol well if the sgs 3'sbattery is the same as the epic 2 and ours then ill prolly be swiping one of those 2100 mah or the extended ones that will come i can see up to 4000 mah if the battery as big as ours will start off at 2100 mah

I can see this to get the task switcher button. Holding the home button only works 50/50 for me as it will think I let up and just pushed it rather than hold it. May be worth losing the screen real-estate to improve multi-tasking.

It really isnt that much heres what you do set ur default screen density to 320 like the gnex then reboot clear the market data press accept then change the screen density to 200 so that it feels a little higher res this will make up for the loss in real estate.

Wow, the video is really bad. I don't even know what to say. I appreciate you confirming the button less function, but the video is mostly of a wood table and like a phone sometimes gets in the way of the the table. LOL

I don't think anyone meant any harm. People were joking around. But I cleaned the thread anyway. Carry on everyone. Please remember, you can't hear tone in text.

Found something funny!!

If you get a grape and use it as a 'stylus' it actually works, and better, its really accurate too. Thought I should just post this as I found it quite funny

I can see you eating some grapes while using the tablet... then one falls from your hand and bounces against the TF screen... and then you witness some incredibly accurate touch events
Thanks for the tip

Gett a bag of chips and rip the bag and wrap the ripped part around a pen and use a rubber band or tape to wrape it around. Works just like a stylus. No joke. I saw it on life hacks part 1. Lok

Anything that can conduct electricity and is touching your skin will work
Grape is best idea yet

I have a mechanical pencil that some of the internal broke but the exterior is metal. I took one of the yellow kitchen sponges with the green scrubby part on them and stuffed it inside the pencil with a little hanging out the tip. Works great!

Accurate, cheap, it also doesn't scratch the screen and doesn't leave finger marks! Perfect stylus in my opinion!

Knife used as a stylus on S3

hey guysss here's a video in which a knife is used as a stylus and also used for playing games
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98BYhwR5Y60

Lol It is one of the most useless and idiot things i've ever seen! Very funny though! Ahah The intresting thing is the back button, because, even with the original stylus, it doesn't work! So, why spending a lot of money for a stylus? A knife does exactly the same

please note this also works with machetes, crowbars and an axe, although the latter has to be used with caution due to its weight.

[Touch Screen] Does it support nails & knuckles?

Hi people,
I just wanted to know if the Nexus 4 touch screen support fingernails (like i.e. Galaxy S3).
Anyone with a Nexus 4 could try this for me?
Best Regards,
Sebastian.

lol yes it does. Even my s1 does

Just tried using the backside of my nail on my OG Evo... worked fine. The tip of my nail also works but i suspect the tip of my finger is also barely touching the screen so I angled my finger more extremely so it was only the nail. Still works both ways. That will be disappointing if the N4 touchscreen can't do this...

I'm guessing you don't have an N4 yet, because it absolutely will not register touch via your nails.

also supports knees and elbows

I can confirm that nose, ear (upper and lobe) and toes all work.
Also penis

Well i usually use nails when my fingers are sweaty, dirty or whatever.
At least to fast unlock and make a call. (Quick actions).
I think it won't be a problem...resigning to this feature when i am to have a nexus 4.

I think he was talking about this LOL
