    Removing a contact's birthday on calendar--is this impossible?

    Oh my, thank you! I have lived with this problem for a long time. I have several Android devices, but it only showed up on one, so that didn't make sense to me. You gave me the hint to get me started. It wasn't quite right yet... the invalid entries still were there. But I was able to delete...

    Quicker way to Kill Apps on Nexus 7 (2013) with Lollipop 5.0 update?

    Major Tommy, I just found this! https://code.google.com/p/android-developer-preview/issues/detail?id=153 You just need to long-press on the ICON that's to the left of the application name you want to stop/uninstall! EDIT: Unfortunately, I don't see a way around this next issue. I liked to...

    GPS Issues?

    I have 9 posts in this thread about GPS problems with my Nexus 4 (starting on Dec. 11 and going through Dec. 23). You'll see that my description isn't exactly like yours....clearing A-GPS did not ever work for me. When I was "stuck", I seemed to stay that way (almost always, I'd say). But...

    GPS Issues?

    Thanks, Jinjin12 and zagpoint. I was just forgetting....I had 2 other Samsung devices (tab and player) that had worked well when my first N4 did not. So I have no idea why that old N4 would have improved. I'll look at it more today and see if it reverts to bad behavior. But then I may go...

    GPS Issues?

    With my long description, I may have made the RMA process harder than it really is. Also, some people only waited a few hours between the time they first called and when they got the email from the specialist, giving the link to reorder. And then it shipped for them the next day. And I'm sure...

    GPS Issues?

    Please read my post a couple of posts above. No restocking fee when you RMA and send back your old. But if you want to send back the old and not get another, you'll pay the restocking fee.

    GPS Issues?

    Here's how RMA worked for me. I called Google Support at 855-836-3987. They're there 24/7! I described the problem, they had me jump through a few hoops (minor), but it really wasn't hard to get them to say it could be sent back. Then they'll send you an email, just acknowledging the...

    GPS Issues?

    I got a replacement Nexus 4 about an hour ago. It looks like the GPS issues are fixed! So I think I definitely had a defective one. I'll do more testing today and post here if anything peculiar happens. If not, I'll be very pleased that I've gotten a better one, but it's too bad I had to go...

    GPS Issues?

    Mine continued to do poorly, so I called Wed. night (12/12/12) and asked to get another. I didn't want to wait on any "fix"....and the rep that I got this time did not have any knowledge about a "fix". I got email this morning (1 1/2 days later) telling me to re-order (some kind of "advanced...

    GPS Issues?

    Mine has just gone back to the same poor state it was in before....no satellites seen, so obviously no fixes. I'm not willing to do a factory reset every time this occurs. Like you, I do want to keep it, but will certainly send it back if this isn't resolved "soon". I wish the rep could have...

    GPS Issues?

    Thanks, N4Newbie, I had already tried the Reset and Download functions of GPS Status with no luck. I just called Google (they're there 24/7!). The guy talked to developers, and they said there will be a fix coming. I wasn't happy with that answer since there was no timeframe given, so I...

    GPS Issues?

    I just got my Nexus 4 tonight. I'm having similar GPS problems. GPS Status always says "Looking for GPS location". GPS test does nothing...yours at least shows 20 satellites, mine shows none. I've tried it with wi-fi, without wi-fi, airplane mode, etc., no change at all. Like you, I can't...
