4.2.2 ? I haven't heard about this...link?

Related to this? http://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-...ar-google-site

 

Lol. Thanks! Even when I go to Google.com it shows me the Google letters in cake form like it is on Google Now.

As far as your SwiftKey question, might be because its still in beta. I had some issues with it syncing to my FB account and I'm not sure if it ever synced. Lol.

(especially with 4.2.2 coming out now). Phil Nickinson of Android Central mentioned that their server was getting hit with 4.2.2 devices. It sounds like an update is imminent and they've removed the factory images like the link you posted:

With Swype, you create a double letter by making a loop on that letter. That's how I've been doing it with SwiftKey Flow also and it's working just fine.

 

but for swiftkey flow and 4.2 keyboard it isnt necessary fyi. Doesnt hurt if you do though

 

Anyone here use Google Currents?

It just got a new update today and to be honest, I never use it except the first time I powered up my phone and checked out the free stuff it came with.

 

I used to use it, but flipboard and pulse are better I think

 

IF anyone needs a portable charger, here is a 5000mAh one for 15 bucks:

 

So how much of a hassle is it dealing with NFC on my GN with flashing roms? Do I have to back it up and restore it every single time?

 

hmm might have to check out the new current update. I switched from it, cause it was in a way slower than the others.

 

Ohh damn the new currents app is amazing at first glance at least. Gonna be using it now may make a permanent switch. It looks amazing

 

So like... anyone want to buy a brand new, sealed, unlocked, 16GB Nexus 4 from me?

 

Well the cards and payment info are all stored online. Its the security element you have to worry about. You have to reset it before you wipe your ROM as it resets some security regarding the NFC chip. Dirty flashing an update should have no effect on it. Although, I'm not sure how true that is any more because you can now deactivate your Google Wallet online. I do it to be safe and haven't had any issues since. Gotta read up to see what the consensus is on it now.

So the first time I do it from stock there shouldn't be an issue since I don't have Google Wallet installed?

 

^Since you're not messing with Google Wallet, NFC should be unaffected.

If you bork your Security Element, all NFC functions will still work. Just Google Wallet won't. They're separate things. I should've made that clearer.

As far as I'm aware, flashing a ROM shouldn't mess up NFC functions so its not something you should worry about.

 

Ok, I was unaware of that. Thanks

 

Thanks, didn't know that

Although I'm so used to doing it that way with Swype that I'll just probably continue to do it that way so that I don't have to change my method based on the keyboard.

 

So who's working on getting a MOGA for free today? Server is sloooow.

 

Picked one up before their server meltdown. Lol. Took an hour for my order confirmation to get to me.

 

I'm part of the meltdown, stuck at the cart. My N4 took about 3 minutes total to get about five minutes after they flipped the switch on release day. This must be what everybody else was experiencing.

 

^Lol. Yeah I got scared that I didn't get a confirmation e-mail and my order wasn't showing up under My Accounts. Thought they were just baiting for credit cards but it was $5 so I said why not. We'll see if it ships...

 

Looks like the new Facebook is coming soon:

Sprint's EVO 4G LTE Jelly Bean update rolling out now. Mash the Check Update button. Or download manually from XDA:

Looks like the S3 Jelly Bean update is coming out tomorrow for Verizon:

Those Nokia phones bring back memories. I remember lugging that crap around in 1990. I had one with a lit keypad that made my GF extremely jealous at the time.

 

but they were very well made....i remember playing soccer with them (in the apartment) and it just wudnt break

 

I don't play that much games on my phone anymore so I didn't bother with the MOGA fiasco. Plus, after going through the process for the N4 and bumpers, I'm done with joining the mad rush of online orders.........until the wireless charging orb and car dock get released, that is.

 

^^^ i didnt play soccer on it....i played soccer with it.....

 

Well, when you get it right the first time....



only small updates are needed.

 

FTFY

 

Really??!

Well, I guess that makes sense in that if you bought a 911 back in the era of drugs and stds, no one would know the difference than the one now.

 

Nexus 4 bumper makes phone 6mm wider, 2 mm thicker, and 6mm taller.

The thicker part just means the phone's screen and back will no longer touch the surface, for protection. But the increase in wideness is tough to get used to after finally getting used to an already wider/bigger phone.

- makes phone less grippy, more slippery
- makes L shaped or right angled earphones almost useless to plug in
- makes the whole thing about having a curved screen on the sides for easier access to swiping in, obsolete

Other than that, this thing feels premium and worth it for protection while still showing off that sexy design.

 

Holy shit the update for the fb app is freaking amazing

It's soo fast and I love the little animations and such

 

It can still be better optimized:

Where you're seeing red is where Facebook half-assed its app and just tacked on functions over each other instead of coding it properly. So its not 100% using project butter which would make it even faster if they fix it. The same thing happened with Falcon Pro for Twitter and the dev cleaned up his code the next day after being used as a lesson by Romain Guy on how to optimize Android apps and his app has gotten a lot faster since its first implementation which was pretty fast already:

^The article above sheds some light on how Project butter works and how devs can optimize their apps without tasking the CPU to death.

 

Apps on Google went crazy today... looked at phone and had 11 updates.

 

and my phone is going crazy....when updating some apps it says "not enough memory"

bitch I have 5gigs free on the internal memory and 20gigs on the sd card

 

It sounds like you're hitting the 2 GB partition limit for apps on non-MTP devices. Can you open up Storage inside of Settings. It sounds like Samsung only gave 2 GB of space for apps from what it seems. You can fix this in a few ways:

1) Go to Settings --> Apps --> Click on an installed app --> Move to External SD Card.
***Do NOT do this for apps which you use widgets for as they will stop working!

2) Uninstall apps that you don't use.


This is one of the reasons why the Nexus line doesn't have an external SD and why they moved to the MTP storage format. Overall memory is different from the app partition at least with phones with external SD Cards which is why even though you still have 5 GB of internal memory, you're only alloted 2 GB of space for apps. This is not the case for Nexus devices and phones that use the MTP storage as it allots whatever space you have for everything instead of different partitions.

 

^^^ yeah i moved couple old apps to the mem card but had to format the memory card and lost some data

is there a way to increase this partition limit?
