    Hi Ara, Can you tell me if the HTC themes work with the Google Now Launcher, or will the Google launcher use an internal icon set. Thanks

    HTC One A9 pre order , shipping wait room

    The clear case from HTC came today. It is not a bumper, it does have a clear back. We have hopes that all of the dimensions will be right. And that none of the essentials are covered up. Quality seems on par with the under $10 crowd on Amazon and eBay. Package return address was in Indiana.

    HTC One A9 pre order , shipping wait room

    I ordered a red one for my wife along with a bumper. HTC charge for both appeared on my Discover card immediately, bumper shipped yesterday, and full amount for both credited back to Discover card today. But already a better experience than the opening day of the Nexus 4.

When you use over 100 minutes, they will use that balance at ten cents a minute. So if you ask for an addtional $20, you canuse up to 300 minutes in the month. Better yet, if...

    How old are you? (Looking to find average age of N4 owners)

    Over the hill and through the woods, I live with Grandmother. 60+ here, both of us have Nexus 4s. It was the least expensive way to get into a real smartphone with the T-Mobile $30 prepaid plan.

    Energizer Qi Wireless Charging Pad & Cases with it

    My dual Energizer Qi works fine with my bare N4 and my wifes N4 with i-Blason TPU case. And yes the naked N4 wants to slip off the charger. I use some rubber shelf liner between.

    Krussell Hector 3XL Leather beltloop case, very good fit

    I have my Nexus 4 and the Krussell case. The fit is just right for the size of a naked N4. Construction is good. One thing that some will notice is that the headphone jack is slightly below the stiched side of this case. You can plug in headphones, but the phone will be a bit crooked in the...

    New Nexus 4 purchase: Anyone get a shipping notification or tracking number?

    Ordered Nov 13 8:36:00 PST. Shipped very early this morning. Out for delivery now. Was in limbo with no e-mail, not even a confirmation, from Google. I did get a tracking e-mail just after 12 this morning. Have not seen anything from the UPS service I set up last week.

    The straws that broke the camel's back... Why the Nexus 4 isn't for me

    The original poster brings up a question for me. How do I load the AOSP browser on my Nexus 4? Does it have to be rooted or have an unlocked bootloader to get the previous stock browser? It would be fine to keep Chrome around.

    I have a Nexus 4, you have questions. Fire away.

    Is it bright enough to use outdoors on a sunny day? Bonus Question: Will the Chicago Cubs win the world series in my lifetime?
