    16 gigs enough?

    This... I would have gotten the 16gb version even coming from my 32gb Droid Maxx, but for just another $50 I figured it would pay off. With my 16gb nexus 4, though sufficient, I always found myself managing memory because I usually keep a few albums on my phone. With 32gb I can also carry a...

    $199 for ATT replacement with insurance-.-

    I'm pretty sure that the $179 price is only for devices who's function is impeded by whatever physical problem exists. I would highly suspect just replacing a scratched back cover would be cheaper. If I were you I'd call them and find out. I've seen most of the backs for under $20 for the...

    $199 for ATT replacement with insurance-.-

    Motorola repairs broken phones for $179. And they don't charge you monthly for the privilege like the carriers do. Seems like a much better way to go. Sent from my Nexus 10 using AC Forums mobile app

    Droid Ultra Albums in the Gallery

    Yeah. For the stock gallery I think the listed "albums" are actually just folders so you would have to sort your pictures into separate folders, name the folders whatever you want the album name to be. I hate the stock gallery app in android for this. Motorola is even worse because its the stock...

    Screen Protector for Droid Maxx

    Matte finish and AMOLED is a very bad match. Stick with standard screen protectors. The ones sold by Verizon are good but expensive. As far as putting them on, make sure you've removed all the dust you can and just peel a very small piece of the backing off. Maybe a quarter inch or so. Then...

    Text tone problem?

    Double check all your volume levels. Remember that notification volumes aren't linked to the volume rocker so they might be turned down even when your ringer is turned up. Also try setting a new notification sound from within the messaging app settings. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 4

    Factory Reset

    You know anybody that would prank you that has access to your Google or Motorola account? These phones can be wiped from a web browser.... Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk 4

    Capacitive button light bleed?

    I definitely do not have the light bleed you mentioned. Would be nice if those buttons weren't so bright though. I know there's an app or two in the play store that can do this but I don't think any Maxx owners have had any success with them. Haven't gotten around to trying it myself though...

    Locked Bootloader

    I'm with CrazyRussian on this. I've had the OG Droid, Thunderbolt, GNex, and Nexus 4. Every last one of them were rooted, most of them within the first week. But in time on the Nexus 4 I realized that I hardly even used root access for anything. So many things that used to require root don't...

    Does the Nexus 4 really look SOOO yellow tinted?

    Mine doesn't look like that either. Color on N4 seems to be very slightly on the warm side where my iPhone 4 work phone is very slightly cool. My Galaxy Nexus is way on the cool side. I used to think the screen on the GNex was great until I got the N4. Side by side the GNex looks like poop...

    A Few Simple Nexus 4 Questions

    1. If you want to cover the back check out ArmorSuit or Skinomi. Both are relatively inexpensive and can cover the back and/or sides. 2. In my experience Nova has been smoother and less buggy than Apex. Your mileage may vary... 3. You should really give Chrome a fair shake on the Nexus 4...

    Camera: Pink glow from light sources.

    That's a product of having a small sensor and a specific type of lens coating. This is not at all unique to the Nexus 4. See the link. http://www.macrumors.com/2012/10/06/apple-publicly-responds-to-complaints-of-purple-lens-flare-on-iphone-5-photos/ Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    Galaxy Nexus Pentile is Confirmed

    It's too bad that the Bionic gave a lot of bad press to the pentile display. Anybody remember the AMOLED and Super AMOLED displays? Those were all the rave. They won many accolades and were considered among the best screens of their time. They were also pentile. As Colin explained, pentile...
