This phone has been collecting dust in the corner of a draw for sometime now but after my galaxy started bugging out I went back to it for a couple days... That was last month. I never thought I'd say it again but i really like this phone. It may not be on kitkat or lollipop but ive tried my...

I have adb and fastboot installed on my computer. I received my unlock code and put it in cmd. Each time I tried it said the password was incorrect. I found out that it was a bug in 4.4.4 for the moto g and motorola created a patch for it. Unfortunately, I am having trouble flashing the .img to...

I recently just bought a nexus 5 on craigslist just to find out when I got home the imei was blacklisted on T-Mobile ( coming from nexus 4). Seeing as how I paid good money for the phone & can't reach the previous owner, can I activate it on a CDMA network like Verizon or sprint instead? It is...

I could've sworn that one of the key benefits of having a nexus device was vanilla android before anyone else. This is the 2nd year Motorola got the update before us! I understand that they wanted to iron out the bugs but they should've been done that. Lollipop shouldve been revealed and...

For the past 2 weeks my nexus 4 was randomly shutting down in my pocket when I wasn't using it & when the battery was about to die. This week, it got worse. The time & date would be off and my wallpaper would always change to phase beam. The battery bar would be incorrect too, sometimes...

Anyone who has or has owned this phone knows that it is not a top tier performer. A 1 GHz processor and 512 MB of RAM is incredibly dated but being with Android since 09 has let me deal with even worse phones. This phone is one of them until you tweak it right. I'm not referring to rooting...

Upon repairing NY phone the black layer of the battery scratched off a bit but now whenever the phone is on it releases an odd smell which I know is definitely from the battery. If I wrap electrical masking tape (black tape) around the whole battery do you think it would block the smell? Its...

I'm in the process of repairing my screen but I need to remove the battery. However, the screws connecting the battery to the motherboard will not come out (I am using the proper tool) and are stripping when I apply the littlest pressure. Damn Google employee must've screwed them on too tight...

Every smartphone reaches a point where it is no longer officially supported to receive further software updates & so forth. This stage in the phones life is called the EOL (end of life). I love my nexus 4 and to this day it still runs better than most phones but I can't help but feel like it's...

With all of the rumors going around about the possible ending of the Nexus program next year I am thinking of starting a nexus collection. From the Dream (though not officially a nexus) to the Nexus 5. It'll be sad to see my 4 on display on a shelf in my room but to have all of the greatest in...

An official ROM is going to be available for flashing for our phone specifically soon and I was curious if anyone was going to run it on their nexus 4

So did anyone get it? I'm still waiting to get mine. I understand the process can take up to 2 weeks but I'm just curious if anyone did receive the update yet

I just switched my runtime on my Nexus from dalvik which the phone was running by default after the update to ART and my god is this thing blazing again. If my Nexus was a car, it just went from a Dodge Dart to an SRT8 Charger with all the heart if a Hemi motor in it

I'm sitting at the dinner table with my nexus 4 and my cousin is sitting across from me with the nexus 5, and a thought hit me; the Nexus 4 is the Nexus 5's hotter older sister lol. Just had to point it out

There were stories long ago that said the Nexus 4 had a red notification light. I was wondering if anyone has seen it yet? I've only seen green, white, and blue.
