    Best Nexus 4 case?

    Would like an option with a clear back. Also I pocket the phone, so I guess I need a tradeoff of top protection for slim. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    Looking for feedback on 4.2 running on the GN

    Looking for feedback on 4.2 running on the GN

    Not willing to pop 350+tax on the N4 mid-way through its life cycle and wanting a Nexus that I can swap batteries, I thinking about getting this phone off CL or Ebay but curious as its a dual core how well it runs JB? Anyone?

    the S4 was never going to meet expectations

    Could be better? What exactly is so much better with the Galaxy phones over other premium Android handsets aside from the best marketing campaign since "Droid Does"? PS. Stolen isn't the same as ambushed and jumped. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

    the S4 was never going to meet expectations

    Not true. IPhone theft by school teens and hoodlums is rampant for years. Now the galaxy phones are the "trendy" thing. Really goes to show how great marketing blitzing is. But..other than that NYC is as safe a place to be these days compared to most other big cities. But I digress. Sent from...

    Safety is a pretty big concern of mine riding the NYC subways. I just refuse to buy the "popular" thing. Besides, the phone is pretty fugly IMO. But that's the beauty of choice. Embrace it.

    What's your CM10.1 performance like?

    I personally am beginning to think that this Nexus S was never really designed to run anything after ICS, Let alone GB. Curious to what the community has experienced. I was hoping that going with a CM MOD it would buy me some more time till the fall, but it's just unbearable for me. If there...

    Anyone with N4 considering HTC ONE?

    Could argue that with skinned phones, most likely you wont even notice Android upgrades anymore. In fact when skinned phones get upgraed alot of times they run worse!! Possibly because the newest version of Android is always coded to run on the latest hardware at the time, whereas Joe Schmo's...

    who here uses tmobile?

    I rely HEAVILY on Google maps navigation on my current Nexus S on Sprint. I want to make a move with to the N4 on TMO prepaid, but not sure if this could bite me in the azz with the no roaming and the spotty tmo data service in the "sticks". Any thoughts?

    How's Kindle, GBooks and E-reading PDFs on N4??

    Lost my N7 which I only used for e-reading and some youtubing. Not gonna drop another 200+ on a device that's aging but I am in the market for a new phone anyway. Does anyone use their N4 for reading? Hows the experience? Is 4.7 inches a big drop from 7 for books? Thanks.

    Lost N7, security concerns

    Ok bonehead move in a rush to get to a wedding put down my N7 and forgot the dam thing in a car park. I have face and pattern unlock, but I feel like those are easily crackable. What are my options should someone break in light up wifi? All my mail and some sensitive info are stored locally as...

    On CM with gapps installed, will I get updates to Google Play?

    How do you know that gapps was installed successfully? After install via CWM, there were no Google apps installed and I had to grab them from the play store anyway.

    Will 8GB suffice?

    This is so dumb Google. Why aren't the options 16GB and 32GB? I totally get it. Cloud Rocks. Huzzuh! But 8GB is ridiculous. I have no games, but tons of apps and I'm already down to 2 GB left on the N7. If they are concerned about user experience, end user micro management of storage isn't...
