Is it having a negative effect on your battery? I've noticed that this device stays awake or is woke up more often than any other device I've ever had. I've also noticed my battery life has been great. Best I've had on a device. I have every Google Service on and running all day and with my...

If your talking get about right after the update to 4.4.1-2, then yes. The difference was noticeable right on boot. I had to go in and lower my volume; it made that big of a difference on my N5. Posted via Android Central App

I know there's a few minor bugs that still need to be worked out with Lightflow on Kit Kat, but Its working great for me. I've learned that when I reboot my device I need to open Lightflow to activate it again. I think this is a known bug, but it works fine after reopening the app. And I don't...

I have all Google services on, including location services and I've been extremely pleased with my battery on my Nexus 5 compared to my N4. I make it through an entire day with 4+ hours of screen time. Every once in awhile I'll get a run away service or app that will want to keep my device awake...

Nexus all the way... All the way to my home I hope ;) Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

I've read by others, many others that Netflix and 4.3 don't work together. I'm assuming you've updated to 4.3? When using Netflix with the update, it causes the device to power off or crash and you need to hold the power button for several seconds until you feel it vibrate and it should power...

I find myself using my current device (Nexus 4) more than anything else. It's my go-to device for everything. It's cranking in the car with my long commute, on my walks with my dog and constantly in and out of my pocket at work. That means it's always on a charger when it's not in my hand. I...

Most if not all tech blogs I read recommend that you don't use app killers. Android does a good job of managing resources/memory. If and when it needs resources, Android will terminate unused apps and free space when it's needed. 2 gigs is ample to have multiple apps running in the background...

I also stopped by and played with the One at a local store and for a moment was quite envies. It's beautiful, sexy and fast. But I felt the exact same way about my N4 just a couple months ago; and still feel that way. It's so easy to get sucked in with the small bump in specs, new features &...

I think it's the radio inside the N4. I've noticed if I drive through an area where I lose signal for just a minute, a lot of times when I'm back in a good signal area, my data/cell coverage doesn't come back until I reboot or toggle airplane mode. I work in Park City and on my drive there's a...

Google Play Music is the perfect fit with my Nexus 4. Now the only thing missing is a good set of earphones ;-)

Re: changing from WCDMA preferred to LTE/GSM on stock N4? In Talk settings there's a "show mobile indicator to friends"; I believe if you un-tick this box, it won't show you as available when on your device. Try that and see if it works. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

When I got home my carbon fiber dbrand vinyl was waiting for me. Shipping was much faster than I thought. The fit is awesome, and so much easier to put on vs my Zagg I had on the back. "Had on" being the operative word; I tried to install the vinyl over my Zagg and when I pulled back to...

I'm still waiting for my dbrand vinyl, should be here in about a week. Currently using a Zagg screen protector on the back with the OEM bumper (works well). Plus when I'm out hiking or riding I throw on my Seidio case for extra protection. I'll tell you with this phone, I've never spent so much...

I received the update last night. I had just closed the Play Store after updating a few apps and I noticed my virus software state the Play Store is safe; so I opened it back up and I had the new version. I really like the new layout and look. I'm excited to see what Key Lime Pie is going to...
