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

    Is it true it has a notification light in the same position as the Galaxy Nexus?

    Application to display which applications are using bandwidth?

    I take it you are running an older version of Android? ICS and above has this information built in now. At the time Traffic Stats did exactly what I wanted (I believe it can actually be set to monitor mobile data only) - There are a few other apps in the store now which also do the same thing...

    Galaxy Nexus Randomly shutting down?

    Is there a thread on the Google Android support site for this issue? The Nexus S had a similar problem at launch (Random reboots especially during calls) which took a lot of users complaining and an update before it was finally fixed. I came across this thread while deciding if I should...

    Vodafone Section appearing in the Android Market

    The new market still has the Vodafone section instead of my Apps though... It must be detecting the network rather than the Vodafone sim, because I noticed it reverted to normal on a recent trip to Japan when I was mostly on the Softbank network.

    Lookout or Wave Secure: which one? Or neither?

    I use both apps for more than just to "locate my phone". Wavesecure sends a text to your specified alternative numbers (e.g. your wife's) if someone has changed the sim card - this not only lets you know they have done that, but it also tells you the new number. Wavesecure also locks down the...

    Lookout or Wave Secure: which one? Or neither?

    That's because they use the same kernel hooks. If I am using Lookout for the Anti-malware feature (which Wavesecure does not have) and the Scream feature (which Wavesecure does not have) then there shouldn't be a problem. Obviously if I tried to used both apps lock or locate features at...

    Vodafone Section appearing in the Android Market

    Just opened the Android Market on my Nexus S (Sim-free UK model from Carphone Warehouse - but using a VodafoneUK sim) to update maps, and noticed that in the position where "My apps" usually appears, there is now a Vodafone icon, which links to a Vodafone specific section of the market. I...

    Facebook 1.6 "Update"

    I fixed my push notifications in the previous version by logging out of the app, then logging in again. I only get the new news feed if I select it from the App's home screen. If I select it from the widget, I still get the old News Feed.

    What's your Android Twitter client of choice?

    I'm using the official Twitter client. I've tried most the others in the past, but the official one suites me fine.

    Lookout or Wave Secure: which one? Or neither?

    Until today I used both. I was grandfathered in with Wavesecure - As a beta tester, we got the premium account for free for life. I was a tad concerned when McAfee bought it, but they honoured the free premium account and all was okay. I've never had to use it to lock my phone, but I like...

    Anyone else got Google Music and Books showing on their UK android phones?

    Yeah, thanks - I'd already re-read your post properly :) Still can't sign up for Google Music, but the app is installed...

    Anyone else got Google Music and Books showing on their UK android phones?

    My Nexus S (purchased from CPW with a VodafoneUK sim) is showing that Google Books is an available update in the market, but if I tap on it it says that it's not available (like what usually happens if you click a link to something that is not available in your country). Edit: After re-reading...

    2.3.4 Rolling out now. Official thread HERE!!

    Works on the UK Sim-free version from Carphone Warehouse. I'm guessing it won't work on the UK Vodafone version - the UK Vodafone Nexus One is still on 2.2.1 :-[ (Note: By Vodafone - I mean the phone bought from Vodafone, not using a Vodafone SIM :) )

    Facebook for Android gets chat, push notifications

    Push notifications recently started working for me... but now Facebook seems to cain my battery. Right now on my Nexus S, after 7 hours unplugged it is the top user at 30% (even display is only 25%).
