Working great here, and has almost no effect on battery life.

Re: Battery going down fast. 49min screen time, 60% Post some screenshots of your battery stats. It's likely an app, at least that is where I would start. You could try installing GSam Battery Monitor to help you find out where the drain is coming from. Also what is the total usage time on...

I have the latest updates installed, a good number of third party apps, no widgets, and I'm not having any issues with random reboots or lockups.

Since images are worth more than words...

I'm not sure why but on wifi my phone gets better performance than my desktop's wifi adapter...

Actually Google Voice is also a visual voice mail solution. Besides being able to transcribe voice mail it also allows you to look through them in a list and choose which ones to play back. It's actually rather slick, considering that it can integrate with the native dialer so you don't need to...

$30 Prepaid T-mobile subscriber here who would absolutely like to save minutes with WiFi calling :P Google Voice is not a hack and though it doesn't provide MMS, it does work flawlessly in my experience. I'm curious what T-Mobile will end up doing with this functionality now that they will no...

I like how the back of that surface matches the back of your phone.

Really? Which phone has a good speaker? Most cellphone speakers sound similar to me (bad).

Yeah the thing is you can't really overcharge these batteries because once they hit 100% they automatically stop charging and begin to trickle charge. That's why you can see your phone at 96-99% when you take it off of the charger even though you left it plugged in overnight.

Personally it's the best phone I have ever used. I actually take my comment back about the phone's camera. I just looked at some comparison samples here, and it actually looks better than the iphone 5 in some cases. I haven't used mine much yet but I like the photos it takes and I doubt that...

Wow check out the shots of the light fixture. Most of them (besides the Note II, S3, and panasonic) are completely blown out but the N4 manages to capture a lot of detail in the glass. I haven't had a chance to use my camera that much yet but that comparison really puts things into perspective...

Looks great! Leaving it plugged in isn't a problem. Modern phones will actually hit 100% and then just trickle charge to maintain it, which is why you'll sometimes see your phone at 98% or 99% when taking it off the charger.

The N4 is far faster and has a much better screen. I think if you upgraded for the camera you may have made a mistake as it isn't one of the best in the market. If I were you I would probably return it and wait for new phones coming next year from Samsung/HTC.

I just set up Google Wallet on my Nexus 4 with no problems. I'm currently on a prepaid plan with T-mobile.
