Re: Media server killing battery (sorry, another thread) Thanks for the suggestions. I ran the phone in Safe Mode all day, unmounted the SD card, and uninstalled Spotify. I have a premium subscription. It has been much better without Spotify (for the moment....). I don't think the problem is a...

Media server killing battery (sorry, another thread) Sorry, I know there are others but none of their solutions has worked for me. Media server is killing my battery, and fast. I mean a 40% drop in 2 hours yesterday while phone was on sleep with wifi and mobile data disabled. I'm in the UK...

thank you.

thanks v much. I'm with tesco mobile SIM only; it just says prepay.tesco-mobile.com. So hopefully when re-inserting the SIM it will recognise everything fine. I have no idea if it's as simple with South African mobile network operators, but I'll find out I guess.

thank you. How do I know the APN settings and where do I select them/enter them? (apologies)

Hi, I'm a very basic user of the nexus 4 so sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm travelling soon and need to change its normal SIM (UK carrier Tesco) to a local SIM in South Africa for my trip there. How do I do this without losing my phone contacts? Email worries me less as can reset up...

Since the Kitkat update, my volume slider hasn't worked. I've had to adjust the volume by going into settings. The slider bar just won't move. Worse happened today - I managed a few outgoing calls this morning, but that's now dead, as are incoming. No sound at all on the line. I can only use...

thank you both very much. I'll give it a go. My phone is running Android 4.3

This evening I've had 4 spam notifications within an hour - betting websites etc and some weird contact requests. I pressed on the notification and when it said 'connect via Chrome - always or only once' etc, I just closed it and the notification disappeared. I couldn't get rid of them any other...

My phone's not ringing with incoming calls, but sending everything straight to voicemail, and not even sending a voicemail alert. I've missed a key hospital appointment due to this as only saw the voicemail symbol too late. This has been going on for 3 days now and my network (Tesco in the UK)...

Thank you for your suggestions. I've not changed any settings as have no idea how to. Last call is to try my network's handset support, and get a PAYG SIM from the one carrier I've not tried round here. If it still won't work, not much point in having a smartphone. I wonder if Google would take...

I have a google nexus 4 still under the 1 year warranty. It's never been great at connecting to 3G (I am in London, UK, where 3G is supposedly excellent). I switched network from Vodafone to Tesco - who use O2 - because of this issue and the constantly dropping calls/bad call reception. No...

I'd like to get a spare mains charger for my google nexus 4. Ideally one that will also cope with being used with a EU / worldwide adapter. Can anyone recommend one in the UK please? Seen some on various websites but many are wrong voltage or with bad reviews. The Play store doesn't seem to...

Re: Nexus 4 Best Apps [03Mar] still haven't found a good pedometer app that works when phone is in sleep mode - any suggestions?

2 questions please: how do I clean the glass properly as it's a bit marked, if not properly scratched? Also is there any way to delete a single text message from a thread, rather than the whole thread? thanks
