    NEXUS 4 - RED LED LIGHT pops up from time to time - Phone seems to operate normally.

    If it's a tiny red LED at the bottom - it could be a notification light. Mine turns red when there's urgent news from CNN. You can set it to light off based on certain apps. Did you check your drop down menu to see if there were notifications pending? Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    Working at Verizon question

    You're not looking for negative comments. How about constructive criticism? I've hired and managed for both customer facing and back office for a decade now; with mixed teams ranging from folks ready to retire to newly minted grads. My hope for you is that you can communicate better verbally...

    Screen Won't Rotate

    Try pausing the video and rotating to troubleshoot. Personally, I was annoyed with the Home Screen not rotating (vs my N7) so I resurrected my Ultimate Rotation paid app when I had a Gingerbread phone. Now everything rotates properly. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    Nexus 4 sudden loss of signal T-Mobile

    Yes tower congestion also has an impact on your data connection quality. It's reasonable to expect better connections during times when people aren't active. Of course all bets are off if you're near a college campus for example...:cool: Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    Contact tech support, see if a tower is down near you. It happens to every carrier. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    how to send/receive files via nfc between nexus 4 & other phone?

    If he was using S-Beam, it won't work sending from the S3 to N4. He must use and enable NFC and Android Beam only. See this link - http://mostly-tech.com/2012/10/08/what-samsung-google-dont-tell-you-about-beaming/ Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

    how to send/receive files via nfc between nexus 4 & other phone?

    It depends on what app the sender was using. Try to use stock Android apps only. The best success a friend and I had was using Gallery to send photos one at a time. I have a Nexus 4 and he has a Galaxy S3. We had to keep our phones back to back touching and keep it there for almost 20 seconds or...

    Is it still worth buying a Nexus 4?

    Most buyers in the last three weeks report 3-4 days to get the phone from the moment order is placed online and processed by Google - that was also my experience. The supply issue is resolved. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    nexus 7 wont connect to public wifi... please help?!

    Both Nexus 4 & 7 show sensitivity to certain WiFi Settings - for example; SSIDs with spaces in them or use of WEP/WPA/WPA2 - heck even the encryption password length can be a problem. If these items are not within your control, you may need to go elsewhere until you find a network where you can...

    Should Nexus 7 purchased from G-Play this week have 4.1 installed?

    Most likely you will get 4.2 pushed OTA. That's what happened to me - my unit is a little older than yours. Go to the Settings screen and use the About Tablet-System Upgrades function to check for pending upgrades.... Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

    How fast is the data rate on my hotspot?

    So I'm coming over from an Exhibit II using Foxfi. That setup would show me how fast my connection was - i.e., 3mbps. I would use to judge if among other things, I'd need to reset the hotspot because sometimes I'd get a very slow data rate like 600-700kbps. On the Nexus, the only feedback I...
