nice, it also has an actual rotation animation now instead of the clunky refresh.

Chromecast is the best option for this IMO. It is simple to use and more and more apps are supporting it an it doesn't have the same problems as straight mirroring does. it is $35 and it is simply amazing if you have an extra HDMI port on your TV. The popular apps support it (like youtube)...

When you type a word it doesn't recognize, it will try to auto correct it for you. Instead of hitting the space bar for auto correction, tab what you typed in the suggestion bar. You will then see it change to "tap again to save". If you tap it again, it will add it to your dictionary and it...

Re: Google Nexus 7 Tablet (2013) Google search bar overlaps apps with GEL installed on 4.4 GEL was only officially released for the Nexus 5 and launchers on phones don't typically rotate, so they only cared about portrait. This is also why when you rotate it, there is no rotation animation and...

KitKat now allows carriers to disable tethering, so you might need to have it enabled on your mobile plan. I have T-Mobile and I encountered similar issues with my Nexus 4 to my N7 and I had to contact them to enable tethering. They ended up giving it to me at no additional charge since I...

Re: TIPS: How to re-enable Tethering on KitKat. yes, that is accurate CoMo. The tethering is a default function of Android but most carriers did not allow vanilla ROMs to be installed on phones because they wanted more control. T-Mobile was one of the very few that allowed the N4 with the...

Re: TIPS: How to re-enable Tethering on KitKat. I had the unlimited $20 plan with no tethering. After it got disabled, I contacted them and they gave me the unlimited plan with 2.5g tethering for $20, so you should contact them CoMo and they will fix it for you.

Re: TIPS: How to re-enable Tethering on KitKat. I just contacted T-Mobile and they changed my plan to give me tethering at no additional charge.

So once I tried tethering after I updated to KitKat, I, like a lot of other people, noticed that T-mobile removed that free feature. I am under contract and I sent them a live chat message letting them know that is one of the main reasons I signed a contract with them. I pasted the chat log...

Yup, I had problems on my N7 and my N4. I can play custom stations just fine, but live stations were causing problems, especially when trying to play over bluetooth. I uninstalled on my N4 trying to reinstall but then got the message that it isn't compatible. I still have it installed on my...

this has been bugging me. Listening to live stations over bluthooth won't play sounds for me. If I try to listen to live stations through the speakers, it works just fine. custom stations work fine regardless, so it is a very narrow scopped problem, but it just happens that I listen to live...

No, an OTA update will not do a wipe of your data.

It will be pushed automatically to you; you will see a notification to install and it will take 5 minutes or so. The GPS and touchscreen issues were already fixed several months ago through a firmware update, so you should have already gotten those updates. If you are still encountering...

No, they are pushed through a staged rollout to be available to select set of devices at a time. It could be geographical based, but most likely based on serial number.

I found the prediction on the default keyboard when swiping is pretty much garbage; I am constantly having to replace my words. Swype is a little better about it, but I have found Swiftkey to be my preferred keyboard. In addition to it having better prediction, there is a also a thumb key...
