I would guess that there is some type of plasticized coating on the aluminum which confused him. Also, there appears to be a plastic antenna/sensor panel at the bottom of the back side of the phone. Posted via the Android Central App

Yes, I'm having the same problems. I remember this exact issue happening in the past, and I forgot whether it was an update to chrome or SwiftKey that inevitably fixed it. I do know that in this instance, it was an update to chrome that caused the issue. I have temporarily worked around it by...

Light Flow comes with two debugging widgets that will display whatever app is currently creating the notification on your home screen. That might help narrow down the offender. Posted via Android Central App

Do you want these counters specifically on the lock screen or on one of your homescreens? There are many ways to solve both problems. One way is to use Nova Launcher in conjunction with WidgetLocker. Nova has built-in unread counts that you can tag on top of home screen shortcuts to...

I agree, I love this app, and have been using it since my Nexus One days. My only minor niggle with it is the dismissal options, specifically with texts. If I'm texting someone and I turn the screen off with the Messaging app open, when I get a new text, the notification disappears as soon as...

It's expensive, but it looks to be worth it. I've never owned a Seidio case, but I'm confident that it's a quality piece. My only concern is that it appears to cover part of the speaker grille.

Re: My Iconic Guardian case shipped this morning!!! Thanks for the pics! Looks like a pretty rugged case, which is what my N4 is going to need if I treat it the same way I do my Gnex. Hehe. Is the rubber lip around the edge of the screen very easy to lift/peel back? It might mean thaf after...

Nice pics, spacecasespiff! Very moody. :) One thing I just thought of, that might be affecting the quality of some pictures, is the factory rear screen protector. I know a lot of people are keeping theirs installed while waiting for a case or whatnot, and I'm wondering if anyone who's posted...

Re: Help. Go to: Settings --> About phone and tap on the Android version number a few times and it should appear. After you do that, it will become available in your list of daydreams (which are under the Display menu in Settings).

The amount of noise and lack of proper focus in some of these night shots make me think that the N4 only has a 5MP sensor and it's software scaling the images to 8MP. No offense to anyone, but they're absolutely terrible. If this is what the phone produces, then I'm sticking with my Gnex. Of...

It's Chrome's own "smart" way of rendering pages, and it's one of the reasons I'm using the stock Browser on my Gnex, and will be rooting and installing the stock AOSP Browser on my Nexus 4, whenever it arrives.

Thanks for the comparison pics! It's troubling to see how much noise makes it in to the N4's pics, and how badly it handles the white balance and exposure in the flash pictures. The proper, even exposure and dead-on WB impress me with my Gnex, and hopefully I don't lose that ability with the...

I don't have my N4 yet, so I'm not sure if it works on it, but I use MoreQuicklyPanel on my GNex, which operates much the same as Widgetsoid, and allows me quick access to toggle the hotspot on and off.

Not to add any offtopic discussion to this thread, but I believe that the iPhone's "usage" monitor shows any and all activity, including background sync, not just screen on time. With that said, it still wins the real-world tests, but not by a landslide margin compared to the One X. One also...

Happens to my 4.2 GNex using PowerAmp as well. I was listening to music through the external speaker at full volume, plugged in headphones and the volume automatically dropped to about 70%. That message popped up when I touched the volume rocker.

I've had wifi issues as well, but not to do with connecting to the router, but with staying connected to Google's servers. When I first turn wifi on, the signal indicators will go blue to indicate I'm plugged in the Goog. When I let the device sleep for any length of time though, the bars go...

Re: Something wrong witht the camera on this phone??? I was concerned with the Camera and back glass design from the get go. With no border around the lens, and no anti-reflective coating on the glass (as can be identified on most camera phone lenses by a purple coloured lens reflection when...

Haha, thanks for that! I'll wait patiently for the final software review. :) At least the LED tint appears a little warmer than the purple beast on my Gnex. ;)

Awesome thread, thanks for posting (and continuing to post in) it! Quick question -- how bright is the camera flash? One thing I admire about my Gnex is the relatively bright flash, which blows away the ones on my old N1 and my dad's HTC Raider. I'd really hate to take a step back with the N4.

I got the update, and am able to update and install apps, but I do have a rather odd problem. Draw Something us at the top of "My Apps" list, and needs to be updated. When I was in there updating a couple of other apps, my N7 kept navigating itself to the Draw Something page! I would update an...
