    Nexus 7 wifi

    Does anyone find their wifi speeds to be low on the Nexus 7? I just ran a speedtest on my laptop, HTC One, and Nexus 7 all in the same location one after another letting one finish before I started the next one. My laptop pulled 60Mbps down, my HTC One pulled 18Mbps, and my Nexus 7 only pulled...

    Nexus 4 < HTC One

    Verizon is rumored to be dropping the HTC One within the next 2 weeks. During an online chat with a Verizon service assistant I was told it would come out August 22nd with Android 4.2.2 preinstalled because they took so long to release the damn thing (they might have used slightly different...

    Even Google Makes Mistakes

    The OTA 4.3 update and the factory image Google released for the Nexus 4 is based off JWR66V. There is a newer version, JSS15J, that contains several GPU commits and an updated kernel for the Nexus 4, but wasn't released because a Google employee mistakenly thought JSS15J only contained fixes...

    Root Nexus 4 soft brick

    I tried to flash Android 4.3 from the factory image so I wiped my device and after rebooting it would hang at the X loading screen. I rebooted into the bootloader and tried to flash Android 4.2.2 using Wug's toolkit, but I got this error: So now I'm stuck with a phone that can only boot as...

    Nexus 4 Verizon edition

    I went into my local AT&T store today in an attempt to make small talk and pick up an application. I asked if the man working had a case for the Nexus 4 and pulled it out of my pocket. He proceeded to tell me that it is a Verizon phone and that he couldn't help me. I insisted that I was running...

    Root Any love for Cyanogenmod's RC2?

    The end is near. For Cyanogenmod anyway. The second RC has been available for a couple of days now and i've been loving it. What are your thoughts of the best the ROM scene has to offer until Android 4.3/5.0?

    Root Nexus 4 Suicide

    I'm running the newest version of Paranoid Android (3/28 build) and the newest Franco kernel (r116). Earlier I was in the middle of a text message and my phone just shut off. I turn it back on and it sits at the PA loading screen for 10 minutes so I force another reboot and it gets past the PA...

    Root What ROM are you running on your Nexus 4 V 2.0

    The previous ROM thread was started when the Nexus 4 was still brand new and custom ROMs were few and far between. The question remains the same. What drives your Nexus 4? Link to previous poll: http://androidforums.com/nexus-4-all-things-root/659985-what-rom-you-running-your-nexus-4-a.html

    T-Mobile ending contracts? Thoughts and opinions?

    Though not specifically related to the Nexus 4, it is rumored that T-Mobile will be dropping contracts altogether within the next month. Since this rumor has been floating around for quite a while I personally believe there is something to it. T-Mobile also plans to have their LTE network...

    Charge today gone tomorrow

    My charger has always made a buzzing noise when plugged into an outlet, but the buzzing would stop as soon as I plugged the other end of the charger into my phone. I mainly just ignored it as it still worked fine, and didn't make noise while my phone was charging. Today I thought my phone was...

    Buzzing earpiece

    Has anyone here noticed a buzzing noise when talking on your Nexus? I don't talk much, but today I was on the phone for a while and I noticed a constant buzzing noise coming through the earpiece. It's faint enough to not be too annoying during conversation, but since noticing the noise I can't...

    Snapdragon S4 Pro

    If you've read any reviews that discussed benchmarking you know this phone has a serious problem with throttling. Benchmarks were disappointing and the only time it showed numbers like it should was when it was run in a freezer. The Droid DNA has the same Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5GHz quad core...
