    Is it me or does this phone get too hot too often?

    Whilst charging and playing games it always gets very warm. I've use other phones that heat up - the S2 and the S3 - but they would only do so sometimes. The Nexus 4 seems to do it consistently.

    Post your Nexus 4 pictures

    I was wondering if N4 owners would be so kind as to post (or link to) pictures they've taken with the camera. It would primarily be to help us non-owners appreciate the quality of it.

    Has anyone changed their mind about buying the N4

    Had the Nexus 4 been in stock I would very likely have snapped one up by now. But the longer it remains out of stock (UK), the more I'm disinclined towards it. I have 2 reasons. Firstly, while none of the well-known compromises (no micro-sd, LTE etc.) bother me too much I am concerned about...

    Help Why does my S3 lag so much when swiping?

    Great phone but I'm surprised by the amount of lag when swiping across the screen. There's a small but very noticeable delay between swiping and the phone performing the required operation which could be anything from swiping through homescreens and menus or playing Temple Run. Even my rooted...

    I was trying to do a few updates from the Play Store and ran into this message. Quick System Info shows that I've run out of A2SD+ space but I've got tons of internal memory available thanks to DGB. Should I just shift apps from the Ext partition to internal memory or should I increase the...

    New Promo: '20p Play of the Day' - Anyone playing?

    I think they started this yesterday. Each day a selected app is available at a discounted price of 20p in the Market (Google Play Store). Yesterday it was Where's My Water and today it's Flick Golf Extreme. I'm not into most games so hopefully some non-game apps become available. I'll try to...

    Is it worth updating the Market to Google Play

    The reason I ask is because I'm still using the old Market (2.3.3) as the newer one was simply too sluggish on my Desire. Have they fixed that issue with Google Play or is it nothing more than a rebranding?

    Egypt - revolution entering it's most crucial phase

    If anyone is following this, the second and arguably most critical phase of the revolution has begun - trying to remove the army top brass's iron grip on the country. My gut feeling is that this is going to get a lot worse. Certain powers that freely supported the tyrant Mubarak were happy to...

    An Open Letter to the NFL (Long Read)

    That's why I'm glad Fifa have resisted the call to introduce goal line technology and replays in soccer. They've made 'maintaining the flow of the game' a very high priority and avoid stoppages as much as possible. It's rare for more than 4 minutes to be added to the length of a soccer game.

    Fastest loading Dialler App?

    Simply put, I'm looking for a dialler app which will load up quickly. I've been using Go Contacts Ex for ages but it takes too long to open up if I haven't used it recently. The stock Android dialler is quick but it lacks in features. Is there anything else out there?

    How big should the Titanium Backup folder be?

    My Titanium Backup folder weighs in at about 380mb with 154 apps. It seems way too big. I've got backup history set to 1, deleted backups for uninstalled apps and trimmed backups where the history is > 1. That only saved me about 40mb. It feels like I'm missing something.

    What's the worst pain you've ever experienced?

    Physical pain that is. For me it would be waking up to a cramp in my leg in the middle of night. The only time I've come close to screaming. Pretty tame, but I've been fortunate not to have had any breaks or anything more than minor injuries. What about you folks?
