    back to 4.2.2 from 4.3 for me

    So I upgraded to 4.3 yesterday without an issue (I used N-Cry to sideload and root and Helium as a backup/restore program). Previously I had Franco Kernel running and tweaked the screen with the color controls. Well I had forgotten how crappy the unadjusted N4 screen is and just couldn't get it...

    Qi Chargers for the Nexus 4

    got my Zens charger and just set it up. Works great even with the Kay's Case I have on the phone. For the money I don't think you can go wrong.

    Qi Chargers for the Nexus 4

    Thanks Fearless. I just picked one up a Zens at shopandroid.com and used the save code and it worked! I picked up a car mount too so I'd get free shipping.

    Anker Astro3 10000mAh external battery pack

    I picked the 5100mah Anker charger from Amazon a few weeks ago and am very happy. It is a great size and so far I've never come close to draining it. I do notice that recharging the backup battery is very very slow.

    Picture messages received as videos

    I have the same problem. I recently received a group message that came through as a video file. I responded and it generated identical10 texts for everyone. I also have unreliable sending and receiving of MMS. Why there isn't a universal texting standard is beyond me.

    My month with Android and Nexus 4

    Like so many people who've moved onto the Android platform I had an iPhone 4 using it on T-mobile and was disappointed with the size of the iPhone5 when it was announced. I got lucky and was in the 2nd shipping group for the 16GB N4 and I've been using it exclusively for the past month. I am...

    Trying to make a full iPod to Android conversion, apps/methods needed

    I just went through this myself and I am really liking Pocket Casts. It is the only app I could find that shows which podcasts you've listened too and how much time is left on the ones that are unfinished. Ths is important to me since I usually have 60-80 podcasts. Also the UI is good. Very...

    Tmobile MMS not working

    I have MMS problems on my new Nexus 4. I tried re-entering the APN info and no dice. The pre-populated info looked correct except the APN protocol being' IPv4' and not 'IPv4/IPv6'. I am using GoSMS but still have the stock Message application installed. I had similar problems with my iPhone4...
