    Who still has their Nexus 4?

    I just had the same experience, and decided to fix my screen ($110 at a local shop). I'm using an old BB Bold 9700 while its in the shop. I'm sure I'll appreciate the Nexus 4 even more after this weekend!

    Who still has their Nexus 4?

    I just decided to spend $110 to get my screen replaced -- broke last night. There's nothing new out there that's decent decent for less than about $600.00, and my Nexus 4 does everything I need it to. My only significant issue is with battery life (especially using GPS), but I can deal with...

    groove ip lite settings

    Groove IP Lite only works on WiFi, you have to get the $$ version for use on cellular network. If Groove IP is not connected to WiFi, a call should just end up forwarding to Google Voice in the form of a voicemail/missed call message.

    Wi-fi signal Disables Mobile Data Connection

    Diknak -- I don't. But if I'm walking past someone's house or a store that has wifi, I don't see why my mobile data is cut off, when I'm not even logged on to a WPA wireless signal.. And, oddly enough, when I do connect with wifi at home or work, the blue mobile data signal comes back on.

    Wi-fi signal Disables Mobile Data Connection

    Whenever my N4 (stock and unrooted) discovers a WiFi network my mobile signal indicator turns from blue to gray and I lose my data connection. I can still make an receive calls, but nothing more. This happens with all types of WiFi, open,WPA, etc. Any thoughts about how to prevent this? For...

    T mobile charge for Micro- Sim Card.

    I used a cheap SIM card tool to punch my standard SIM into a micro SIM in no time. I gently smoothed the edges with very fine sandpaper, and its been working like a charm for months.

    PC no longer find Nexus 4 as USB device since Carbon app downloaded

    Re: PC no longer find Nexus 4 as USB device since Carbon app downloaded -- SOLVED Thanks for your suggestion. I actually ended up UNINSTALLING the Android ADB Driver that was installed on my computer as part of the Carbon installation. Now I have full access to all media and storage on my...

    PC no longer find Nexus 4 as USB device since Carbon app downloaded

    I loaded Carbon on to my phone and Windows 7 PC, to back up files before exchanging my old Nexus 4 for a replacement. Now, my new replacement (also Carbon-ized) is not recognized by the computer unless it is in PTP (camera) mode -- and then, only with USB debugging turned on. I can only see...

    Nexus 4 charging overnight turns off by itself is a safety feature?

    I have had the same problem -- intermittently -- with my N4 since I got it in January. It stopped happening for over a month, then suddenly shut down when charging overnight last week. I just received a replacement phone yesterday, and am keeping my fingers crossed that it was merely a random...

    I'm Bored With GS3...Should I Get An N4 ?

    Funny, that your favorite Biblical verse implies eternal constancy, yet you believe changing smart phones every few months will make your life more interesting and exciting. Perhaps you'll consider looking beyond your electronics array to find fulfillment in life. Maybe you can take the money...

    Nexus 4 keeps turning off even when charging?

    Call Google. I had this issue when I first got the phone, and Google offered to replace the phone. I've had the phone for a month now, and after those first few days, it's been charging normally, without shutting down. If it happens again, I will take advantage of the replacement offer. I...

    Nexus 4 keeps turning off even when charging?

    I've been having the exact same problem -- no custom ROM or rooting. It's an intermittent issue, and has not happened in the last several nights. The biggest problem is that I can't count on the phone's alarm to work. I don't know if its a problem that goes away once the phone has gone...

    Oops, still not syncing. My bank's phone info is in the GMail "People" contact list but still doesn't show up on Phone list -- even in a search.
