SO, last night I tried rooting and flashing a custom ROM for the first time. I used the ExynosAbuse exploit to root the phone, downloaded CWM RomManager and flashed CWM recovery, and downloaded the CM 10.1 port to I317 and the latest gApps release. I booted into CWM recovery and cleared the user...

In the end, it comes down to personal preference, but I think most would agree that the IPS display of the N4 beats the pentile AMOLED display of the S3. The color reproduction of the S3 (if my Note 2 is anything to go by) is nice for viewing videos and games, but its pretty obvious the colors...

Really, the Nexus 4 just has the build quality and fast software updates going for it, in addition to an awesome screen that trounces the S3. If you like the option of removable batteries and SD cards, then there really isn't a choice... but going with the Nexus 4 really takes care of the...

The creak happened on mine, in addition to uneven glass placement and a bubble on the back, smooth plastic where it meets the dimpled material. I just returned mine today with no problems to Walmart.

While I love the aesthetics of the N4, there is one thing that completely drives me crazy: the chrome rim around the front. Like my iPods and iPhones of old, it looks pretty at first. However, it quickly descends into a scratch-covered wasteland, as if you threw the phone into a bag. Filled with...

I ended up switching to Firefox after my umpteenth reboot today. Hopefully disabling chrome and not opening it will prevent more reboots from occurring, if that is indeed where the problem lies. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Android Central Forums

Yeah, it doesn't look good when their flagship tablet has issues running on the updated operating system it was meant to introduce. However, my Nexus 4 runs 4.2 flawlessly. If I can't track down a Walmart that has another in stock I may return it and wait for the play store to restock. Also...

Yeah, the N10 is a great tablet if I didn't make that clear in my summary. I just sold my iPad, so I've decided to go all in with the Android ecosystem. I can't get a replacement from Google since I didn't purchase on the play store, unfortunately, so I have to go troll Walmarts in my general...

Well, there are always a few...

So, is it NOT true that most developers, yourself excluded, begin new development on iOS first? As a developer, would you be more willing to start new development for an operating system that the majority of users are on (iOS 6), with a smaller amount of hardware to worry about, with a larger...

So, I ended up purchasing a Nexus 10 a week ago to play around with, in hopes of replacing my iPad 3. Here are a few of my observations, as a long-time Apple user and (overall) Apple fan, coming to Android via the Samsung Galaxy Note II, Nexus 4, and Nexus 10... - I really enjoy Android 4.2. It...

It's the rubberized smooth plastic that is uneven, unfortunately. I've removed the back panel and made sure it was properly in place, to no avail. To be honest, it dies not seem lie these are deal breaking issues, but if I can return it for a better unit, why not? I just wanted to see if others...

I recently purchased a Nexus 10 at a Walmart and am quite satisfied with the overall experience. However, I've noticed that the back plastic on the edge of the dimpled Nexus 7 style plastic I'd not even and as such, there appears to be a slight raised area on the back. In addition, the glass...

Yeah, I stopped by one today and they didn't have any on display (unfortunately, they were all sold out). I just figured I could buy one, use it and if I didn't like it enough, pay the restocking fee and think of it as a "rental" fee.

As I've been waiting for my Nexus 4 order to come (on the verge of assuming it will never come, but anyways), I've been using a Galaxy Note 2 as my main phone. I bought the Nexus 4 thinking it would be better to have stock Android and get updates immediately from Google rather than wait for a...
