    Beware hidden costs of Hangouts

    Apologies if this has already been covered. Careful when sending group SMSs with Hangouts. Unlike the stock SMSs app on Jellybean it sends as MMS, so you might get charged.

    Help Weird one for you

    This is a bit strange, anyone else noticed this. My SMS notification sound is playing too quickly when I get an SMS. If I play it from the file system it's fine and on my Nexus 4 when I get an SMS it's fine. The notification is about 5 or 6 seconds long.

    For those that just purchased the Nexus 5 and were worries about the lack of a secure NFC chip for G wallet payments. Looks like all phones with NFC and KitKat will be able to make payments. Sorry if I'm late to the party. http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html

    Anyone out there have Quick ICS Browser running on the Nexus 4? IMO it's the best browser out there but required the stock browser from ICS. If no one has any ideas I'll see if I can install the apk for the old ICS browser.

    Looking for an app, can anybody help.

    I like to leave my phone unlocked so I can quickly access notifications etc. This is obviously not very safe. Does anyone know of an application that will enable/disable screen lock based on location? I expect not because it would prob require security permissions that aren't available to an...
