It also provides a troubleshooting section/FAQ. Memory card option - I couldn't 'stomach' having to pay for...

    best wireless charger

    I have not timed the charging (I drop the N4 on/pick it up & go, throughout the day) so I can't comment on your question. The slipping issue, initially yes when I placed the charger on a unstable table (no pun intended), maybe change your charging location? it has 4 small pads underneath, check...

    HD+ pure android tablet?

    Thank you all for the comments. Root it & flashed pure android (backed up B&N software, just in case) cyanogenmod 10.1.3, jb4.2.2. Very nice & very stable, no problems. Not as fast as my Nexus4 initially but after flashing I see/feel no lag.

    HD+ pure android tablet?

    Two weeks ago walked by a B&N store & bought he HD+ bargain. Excellent screen and built (feel) quality, slight 'lag' on touch command execution (my regular tool is a nexus4, fast) which I blame on the B&N overlay, very sweet machine indeed. After looking at the OS & apps, I'm not really...

    wifi file transfer, PC to N4 & viceversa, options?

    You are right, no pro version but (my objection to it was) I seem to recall it had registration requirements (to a cloud website) &/or some file size limit. Regardless, smaller, efficient app programming appeals to me & I'm always looking for others (to support). Thanks.

    wifi file transfer, PC to N4 & viceversa, options?

    After checking a number of "free" apps - & finding limiting file transfer etc. unless you pay for the "pro" version - I was going to do just that (pay for one) when I found this "Wifi File Transfer" app at the PlayStore. It's free, small (368KB) & it requires you to install a java little program...

    How many N4 cases do you have?

    At work/travel/office, a pouch, I'm very careful (& don't look at it every 30 secs) when I use it, thus to me "naked" is best. At home, thin leather folio-type case, allows me to toss it around (within reason) &/or have it fall out of my hands w/ limited concern....however, this damn phone just...

    Nexus 4, Google Voice, and the T-Mobile $30/mo plan

    Yes...similarly to what you have done, I've added GrooveIP (the paid version = great configs, though the free one is adequate) - the 100 min are not enough for me - which manages the calls, the program has worked really well in my N4. Review your calling habits & on that basis configure GVoice &...

    Help with N7 apps

    Though I love tech in ALL it's variations, I can't justify a N7 purchase just because I can afford it. All my gadgets have had a role in my professional life (Architect) though some may have called that rationalizations......didn't care.....the one vaporware item, a few years back - before the...

    I dropped my Nexus 4 and cracked both the front and back side of the Nexus 4. It won't turn on.

    I feel your pain though mine was the front screen only. If you want to keep this phone (& believe me I couldn't get excited to get anything else available), two options, call LG (800.793.8896) & they'll ask you to send your phone in for $ repair estimate &/or send it to any of various places...

    Nexus 4 screen locked, cannot enter the pin number, help

    Had a similar situation last week, phone dropped, 1/2 screen unresponsive, unable to unlock (can't use the keypad), no way to access (I had not bothered to configure the 'locked screen' widget feature), received calls fine.....Sorry to tell you, your screen needs to get replaced. Went to...
