I'm calculating the screen width (in inches) like this:

DisplayMetrics dm = new DisplayMetrics();
activity.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(dm);
float wInches = dm.widthPixels / dm.xdpi;

This usually works fine. However, I noticed that on Nexus 4 (Android 4.4.4) xdpi==159.895

I saw in this post that he mentions other devices that return wrong values, but in his table Nexus 4 returns the right measure.

I have same thing. Do you use cyanogen mod? – grisevg Mar 09 '15 at 21:28
I don't know which ROM. Probably the original, but can't be sure. – grebulon Mar 11 '15 at 08:20
Original gives correct values. I have cyanogenmod 4.4.4 and it gives wrong ones – grisevg Mar 11 '15 at 16:41
