Strange how different people read things differently: the Verge review (not the video) seemed very positive to me. They weren't convinced by battery and camera - but given nothing is ever perfect, you'd expect some negatives in any balanced review of any techno toy - however, the summary...

So .. none? :D You could well be right and obviously there's a huge sampling 'error' in that people who are happy won't be posting, however I'm seeing way, way more people having problems with 4.3 than I ever did with 4.2.2. I also don't recall rumours from what appear to be reasonably well...

Sounds to me like you had a lucky break! Lots of people have had similar issue with the install but even more have been having problems with all kinds of things when the install has succeeded - lots of apps not working, Play not working, errors appearing all over the place. Sounds a complete...

My 2 cents: don't do it! There have been masses of problems with 4.3. The consensus on Phandroid is that it's a duff version that should be avoided - there actually a rumour Google released the wrong cut of the software. Personally, although the update downloaded to my phone (Nexus 4) last...

Did you update to 4.3? That appears to be causing masses of problems - there's even a rumour that Google actually released the wrong version. Seems to me your best bet would either be to contact Google support or, if you're technical, root and return to 4.2.2 (or whatever version you were...

There is a rumour that some of the issues around 4.3 are there because Google released the WRONG version! A nice summary from Phandroid:

It depends on what you use a PC for, I guess. I used to do quite a lot of programming and database stuff on mine and that would be a pain on a tablet. That's kind of unusual, of course and I'm sure that for the vast majority of people a tablet - maybe with a decent external keyboard - would be...

Just got a notification that it's ready for me to install next time I'm on WiFi .. but looking at all the issues above, I'm now not so sure I want to get it! Has anyone had good experiences with it?

I only have my music locally so I'm probably wrong, but I thought it was something to do with the pin icon - when I press it I get a message to say all my music is local so I assume its something to do with moving music onto the device. Have to say that Play Music is the worst music player I...

:D Not so much feeling sad as gobsmacked .. and - I'll admit it - slight superior given I did get the bargain ;)

3 million?! Amazing! That's like well over HALF what the iPhone 5 sold in it's first week! No wonder I've hardly ever seen anyone else with one ;) How on earth did the best smartphone bargain EVER sell so poorly? I mean, the N4 is pretty much on a par with the S3 but around half the price...

There is of course, another very good reason (from Google's perspective) that their devices have little storage and no expansion options: they're a cloud provider. What Google really wants is that their millions of customers each fork out a few bucks a month for space in the cloud. If you...

Unless the battery is damaged - which I assume it ain't as it would probably be pretty obvious - I doubt that the issue is the battery :( I would definitely look into getting the phone repaired. I suspect that, even if your warranty were still valid (which it might be if CPW is an approved...

Lots of people say lots of things on forums (fora?), but they say 70% of statistics are made up: I think the %age is way higher on t'interweb :D I'm guessing if you read an Android forum, there will people talking up Apple's problems while if you read an Apple forum, they'll be talking up...

Assuming that by 'Android earphones' you're referring to the earphones that came with the phone, then they're most likely the problem. Try the phone with some other, better quality earphones - maybe go to a shop if none of your mates have a set. The earphones that come with phones are almost...
