Maybe you need to go through the driver deletion and re-installation - AND - change the cable. So the steps that made it work: Go to Device Manager > View Hidden Devices > Delete all MTP instances. Reboot. Use a different cable, and plug in the Nexus. It will discover it and run the Device...

Since I had exhausted all the logical courses, I decided to try something that someone suggested but I dismissed as folly. I tried a different USB cable. Jeebus Effing Christmas. The new cable works. Makes no sense to me.

I thought I had it beat. If I View > Show Hidden Devices, then uninstall the MTP driver, then plug it in, it looks like it's installing something: But it gets to the end of that, and nothing good happens. The MTP USB driver is back in the Device manager with exclamation point and no...

Been working on this for an hour. Tried installing new drivers. Tried updating MTP driver. Still no luck. It doesn't always recognize the Nexus 4, but when it does, the Device manager throws an error: Tried updating the driver, but it says the best driver is installed. Forced it to update...

Yes - that was it. The two devices were using two different Google accounts. Thanks!

I bought Paprika (recipe app) and installed it on my Nexus 7, but when I go to Google Play Store and try to install it on my Nexus 4, it asks me for a credit card. How do I get it on my Nexus 4 without paying again? Thanks.

Nevermind. - - - Updated - - - Yes - user error. I was looking in Settings. Still not sure why it disappeared.

Hi, My Nexus 4 is running Kitkat, and I noticed my power widget has been missing for a few days. I go to Settings > Apps > and look for Widgets, where I used to find them. No widgets. I use the power widget to quickly turn off wifi, blutooth, and GPS. Now it's gone. I've shut down the phone...

It appears that deleting the account from Exchange Services has stopped the bleeding. I guess I'll just install the Hotmail app now and forget using Exchange Services - I hope I won't feel the need to ever use it again. By the number of people on the bug fix thread, it looks like this is a...

In 24 hours, I've gone from 2.8GB to 3.44GB downloaded by Exchange Services. Just got off the phone with customer service. They suggested that I clear the application cache. I was surprised that he didn't know what Exchange Services was - I had to tell him. To clear the cache, go to Settings >...

Thanks - I read several reports from last year of people having this problem, and there were several suggestions for how to fix it, but none sounded like "the answer". I'll fiddle around with the settings. I did change the Auto Synch or whatever to 15min. Maybe that'll do it. I also found a bug...

My phone is maxing out my data with Exchange Services. How do I make it stop? Thanks.

You can still score AT&T sims at certain Walmart locations. Here's a link to the PDF that shows which stores still sell em. And yes, you can take a regular sized sim and cut it down to fit.

If you contact Straight Talk, they'll give you a PDF of the Walmarts that still carry the AT&T sims. In fact, I attached the PDF. I was driving to So Cal a few weeks ago and stopped in and bought a kit. The kit has sims for ATT and TMo. I guess I coulda bought more and ebay'ed em.
