lguserfromkorea, 09 Jul 2013thanks a lot for your suggestion.
now i won't update to JB... morei assume you ment not the gallery but homescreen.
sadly the homescreen is locked in portrait mode as are most phones because of the button bar on the bottum.
if you ment the app gallery/drawer sadly this one is locked in portrait mode also.
not sure if this is the same in jelly bean as i wont ever update to it unless someone gives me a second phone haha.
sorry to disapoint you hehe i never even looked at it but thats just my preference :P

Progamer, 09 Jul 2013Which phone has the best battery
Lg optimus 4x hd or sony ... moremost likely its xperia sl > xperia TX > lg 4x hd.
this because the SL has a small screen (4.3 inch) this uses less leds to light up and a old dual core soc. which is a lot slower but energy efficient.
the TX has a 4.55 inch screen which is still smaller and also a older dual core soc.
the lg has a quad core soc which is more power biggest screen but this goes at the cost of battery.
you cant fairly compare these devices because they are in a different range of phones. the sony phones are more budged the lg was last years high end phone.
sony is just expencive thats why they seem higher end.

AnonD-163038, 08 Jul 2013how do i get apps that require internet connection to work ... moreif you have wifi it should ALWAYS use wifi first.
so if you enable both wifi and 3g data it should always use wifi as the wifi priority is higher then 3r priority.
however if you have a poor wifi signal and strong 3g signal and have the settings checked to avoid bad wifi connections it might be that its using 3g rather then wifi.
so in wifi settings check that you have that disabled.
so wifi > menu > advanced > uncheck the checkbox at the second option.
and when your there also set wifi to stay on in sleep otherwise it switches to 3g as soon as the screen goes off.

AnonD-162814, 07 Jul 2013Can anyone tell me about it"s battery life????Depends on your usage as with any phone. If u use it just for phone calls and texs it is fine. If u use it as a games console you can kill it quickly. But that is the same as any phone. Just get a spare battery which is something u can not do with all phones!

starting to love this phone with some proper managing of apps and system setting..i was able to improve hard games vs battery without root(though i rooted it once but re-unroot it by reinstalling firmwares using kdz :p) still im hoping for any possible future official updates..(lockscreens,notif light and qslide) :D

AnonD-90736, 06 Jul 2013This tegra 3 chip is shocking, while it's great for gaming,... moresorry to burst your bubble but the snapdragon 800 uses even more power then the tegra 3 when all gpu cores and the 4 cores are active.
if you want preformance power usage is gonna be your compromise period there is NOTHING you can do about this.
the new generation cores including snapdragon 600/800 and tegra 4 are all even more power hungry then the current quad cores this is a fact and not only are they more power hungry by default they also run up to and over 2GHZ cousing them to use even more.
if you have poor apps that cant utilize the cpu partly this will dain your battery in record time.
so dont think you got a bad deal with the tegra 3 as even tho thenew soc's are all 28NM they use quite a bit more juice then current soc's.
this is why they all have massive batterys over 3000 mah and still preform average on normal use tests (gaming will be fatal for them).
if you want battery life go for a phone with a older soc possibly a dual core and downclock it or disable some cores (gpu cores also).
if yout not battery life isnt gonna improve its gonna get worse.
remember these are phones with the capability of making pictures browsing and playing games.
its not there main task and if you do your gonna have to compromise somewhere.

Overall it's a decent phone cheaper than some of the other rival phones so if you are on a tight budget I would recommend this, but personally I am going to upgrade sometime between September and November from this to the Sony Xperia Z Ultra should be quite an amazing experience with a full hd 6.44" display and snapdragon 800 chip inside.

This tegra 3 chip is shocking, while it's great for gaming, power efficiency is so poor, as an example I was playing a game while the phone was recharging and to my horror, within 10 minutes the phone shut down, realised that even though the battery was supposed to be recharging it was actually losing charge which is very poor indeed, just imagine what the tegra 4 would do which is why my next phone is going to have the splendid snapdragon 800 chip, should be alot better.

Anonymous, 03 Jul 2013Its the same with me i have tried everything that google pl... moretheres a couple of questions that need answering just to be sure.
- do you have a google account and is it attatched to your phone (can test if this works properly by running google talk/hangouts)
-if the answer to the previous is yes and it works in talk/hangouts did you sync the account? (options>accounts and syn. > gmail adress tap everything when its set to manual).
- do you have a firewall active in your phone or the network where you try to download ? if so disable it and see if this fixes the problem.
- did you try clearing the google play store cache file? (options > apps > google play store > erase data and cache > reboot the phone and try again.
do the same with download manager/management.
other then that i cant think of anything thats causing a problem. good luck trying these things.
