    Post Nexus 4 signal degradation when holding device

    I got a replacement phone because of some camera issues... and Ive noticed this phone has weird 3G issues. I dont really make many calls because people around here mainly text these days, but dropped calles are rare in spain anyway. I have put a signal strength widget on my home screen. when...

    Post Very memorable experience with google

    I don't thing this is an IMEI disabling thing. they would have to do it worldwide for every carrier for that to make sense. I'm guessing they can actually do some some of remote disabling once the device is connected to the internet.

    Thread Weird camera focus problem

    I've tried to search around for people reporting the same issue on the nexus 4 and I haven't found anything. So I may be alone on this one... Basically every single picture was a weird blurry area on the very left side of the picture (or upper side if on portrait mode). There's no smudge or...

    Post Auto Brightness broken with 4.1.1?

    happens to me as well on stock 4.1.1. if I'm in a dark room and put the phone under a lamp or something, the brightness goes up instantly, but it never comes down until I lock/unlock the screen again. in fact most of the time I think the thing is too bright (but that may be because I come from...

    Post Galaxy Nexus Now Available!

    the graininess is not that bad and it's definitely no worse than what the nexus one was (that's the phone im upgrading from). its noticeable on solid grays mostly. and if you're in a completely dark room, you'll notice it more obviously

    Post Galaxy Nexus Now Available!

    got mine this morning, i love it! first thing I did after setting up google wallet and getting those $10 was buy a bag of jellybeans at the nearest 711. tap, pin, tap, and done. it does have the purple thing when the brightness is at the min. it is quite noticeable only in this scenario, not...

    Post Galaxy Nexus Now Available!

    I got the shipment confirmation yesterday morning (about 27 hours ago), and the UPS tracking still says "label has been created", instead of telling me where it is. this thing better arrive here tomorrow!

    Post Holy crap. Change wifi sleep policy to never. BIG INCREASE IN BATTERY

    From what I know (probably read it in this board), WiFI uses little-to-none energy when idle, since it barely transmits any data at all. Also remember the phone switches between 2G, UMTS and HSDPA. I think the policy for doing it changes while it's on WiFi too (since the phone stops caring for...

    Post How much internal phone storage do you have free? Only 166 here.

    I am aware the phone has the 190 mb limitation. Still can't believe I get an 'phone memory full' notification after a month with only 25 apps installed (with only 6 of them, at most, over 5 mb). I used an htc magic for a year, installed way more apps, and never had this problem. The poster...

    Post How much internal phone storage do you have free? Only 166 here.

    Sorry to bump this thread. I've had my phone for just a month and today I got a notification telling me my internal phone storage was full. I freed some space by clearing history, cache, and that stuff in the browser. My 'available space' in settings is now about 60 mb. Is this normal? I dont...

    Post Simlocked nexus one (SFR - Vodaphone)

    Have you actually tried another carrier's SIM on your nexus one? In Spain Vodafone sells the nexus one unlocked and I bet most of the representatives don't even know about it, since they lock pretty much every other phone.

    Post This WiFi issue is killing me!

    Sometimes routers work in both WPA and WPA2 mode, and I guess devices connect according to their capabilities. I think mine is in this mode, and I think my Nexus one has problem reconnecting as well. I will check now. I rarely use wifi since my 3g data plan is unlimited. Confirmed: I have the...

    Post How does WiFi-Tethering work and how do carriers detect it?

    People in spain have reported being charged more by vodafone (they charge you more if you tether and your plan doesnt cover it) by simply using an app on the phone that changed the browser's user agent to mimic a desktop one. I dont know whether it is or it isnt legal to read the 'headers' of...
