    Nexus 4 won't boot up unless plugged in

    The only solution for me that worked, was to simply replace the battery. I don't logically understand why the battery was at fault. It charged, and discharged without issue. But this problem needed a new battery. They cost about $15 on aliexpress.com, and elsewhere, so it's worth a try.

    HELP nexus 10 won't work unless plugged in

    Whoops. Further to my reply above. I mistakenly thought you'd posted your message on a thread I started about the battery issue I have with my Nexus 4. I see the issue described here is a different one from mine. I have no over-heating problems, etc. The phone simply ceased working if not...

    HELP nexus 10 won't work unless plugged in

    Hey "Rock collector" I bit the bullet and finally bought a new battery. Received it just last week. My Nexus 4 has now been fully revived from its near death experience, and no longer requires life-support systems to be plugged in. Problem solved. I got the replacement battery on aliexpress.com...

    Nexus 4 won't boot up unless plugged in

    Okay, well I see a few people posted here with the same (or a similar issue). In my case I am pretty certain the battery is fine. I can discharge it (takes around 8 hours) by leaving the phone in bootloader mode. I can then charge it up, and watch the charge go up (especially when I was still...

    Nexus 4 won't boot up unless plugged in

    I am having exactly the same issue (as the O.P.) on my Nexus 4. For a while I was able to (most of the time) get it to boot fully into the os, when it was plugged in. Although unplugging would cause it to turn off after a few seconds. The battery is not the issue, because that still charges, and...

    Does N4 support external USB devices? Confused...

    Still interested to know if anyone knows if the Ravpower RP-WD01 will work with a Nexus 4. I see no reason why not, but I have not managed to find any reference to the two working together (as of yet). Another device I am also considering is the Seagate Satellite wireless drive (Amazon.com...

    How can I set the number of messages synchronized over IMAP ?

    On Gmail, are you referring to the "Limit IMAP folders to contain no more than this many messages... " setting? Not quite what I am after. Minimum is 1000. Seems like a hell of a lot of messages per folder to be storing on my device.

    How can I set the number of messages synchronized over IMAP ?

    Any IMAP email account. Thanks for pointing out Gmail IMAP sync settings are done server-side. What about private IMAP accounts? On iOS the setting is on the device, rather than determined by the server. I wanted to know if Android has a similar setting? Or perhaps there is a particular email...
