My poor nexus 4 smoked out...wouldn't charge and smoky smell coming from charging port. This was Tuesday night and google had a replacement for me by Friday eve. Meanwhile I was so traumatized I bought a new nexus 5 from google play wed am...also arrived fri pm.
So I popped my SIM card into the n4, booted it up. It updated from 4.3 to 4.4 to 4.4.2.
I booted up the new n5 (wifi only no sim) and it proceeded to download all the apps that had been on the old n4. Knew which apps were on my nexus7 and not on the phone, didn't download those. Meanwhile the n4 didn't do that, I had to manually download the apps from the play store.
Now, I just got up to our weekend cabin...the n5 automatically signed in to the home wifi, how did it know the password?? And I manually entered the password for the n4.
Both now have 4.4.2 so that wouldn't seem to be the explanation for why the n5 seems to be a bit more "knowing" than the n4.
Impressive....and a bit scary.....
If anyone knows how/why please illuminate, thx!
