So I have a problem with my Nexus 4. It's not recognizing most of the photos I've taken. It only displays a few recent ones in the gallery, the rest don't show up. The photos are still on the memory, they just aren't being recognized by the phone. Any help?

Try clearing the cache for the gallery.

Nope, didn't work. I also have the same problem with videos. I have a bunch of videos on my phone, and then one day the Google video player didn't recognize them. Other video players do.

Is there a gaming cradle for the nexus 4 ?

[dripdripsplash]

I've been experiencing slowdowns with my Nexus 4 when using the stock music application. Can I do anything to fix it ? It's freaking annoying, happens everytime I want to change from tab to tab.

The Game Klip is pretty awesome. Sadly, I just hate the the DualShock...

 

[BertramCooper]

I really hope they get the WiFi/Bluetooth bug fixed with KLP.

It's extremely annoying.

Do you mean when the wifi stops responding?

Happened twice yesterday.

Actually, I'm talking about a bug where the voice dialer/audio over bluetooth gets all crackly and erratic when you're connected to a WiFi network.

But yeah, it's definitely not the only WiFi or bluetooth bug with Android right now.

This would be fantastic if you could actually connect a PS3 controller to the Nexus 4.

I don't really feel like rooting my device. Hopefully Sony adds native DS3 supports to all android devices soon.

Weird, next step is doing a factory reset.

My Poetic bumper is starting to come apart.

Bummer.

 

[Goldrush]

What's the best way to clean the Nexus 4 Orb Charger? Its suction powers also make it extremely difficult to clean it.

 

[Asimov]

Is there some sort of case or attachment or anything to use Google Navigation on my car?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

You can, I use it to play GTA Vice city on my N4.

 

[Randy Lanzarote]

My Poetic bumper is starting to come apart.

Bummer.

Mine lasted about 6 weeks. :-(

 

[iirate]

Mine only lasted a few. I went to my Rinke Fusion case afterwards and it's held up since. I DO really like the feel and design on the Poetic bumpers though, and have considered just buying them to use knowing I'll have to replace them often.

 

[JordanLMiller]

How long does it usually take a phone to arrive when ordered from google? I just put in an order today and it's "processing."

My official bumper broke at the mini usb location, now it's slightly coming apart. Need some superglue.

Ditto for me. A small dab will pretty much fix it, but I will admit to being annoyed considering it's price tag.

A week. Chances are that it's already shipped out.

 

[H2Yo]

My Nillkin Red case just arrived and inside came a free stylus and rubber fish... I have no idea what the fish is for.

yeah, rooting isn't for everyone... but using a DS3 via BT is a pretty good reason.

get a car mount. there are several kinds. dashboard mounted, air conditioner mounted, cd player mounted, windshield mounted, etc...

Has anyone had issues with sending group texts in the stock messaging app? For the most part it works fine, but for certain threads messages just get hung up inexplicably ("Sending..."). Sometimes I can either just click the message to view details and then it gets sent, other times I'll send a 2nd message and they both go through (usually out of order), others I just have to delete and re-send. Kind of annoying with pictures. I'm stock no root.

do you have a strong signal and does that only happen with group messages?

 

[DXPett1]

Does the official bumper have a warranty? The section around the USB port has cracked and it isn't protection the phone near the bottom as it should...

Same thing happens to me sometimes.

I usually have decent signal when it happens. It can hang for a day or more and will go through if I send another one. Sometimes I'll even receive day old MMS if I send one. I am on Net10 with AT&T SIM and I blame that instead of Android, but who knows.

 

[Pctx]

So I just ordered this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AOW8ILC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Noticed that after just under a week's time, I've got some dings on the silver lip part of the phone. This is one fragile phone but my god is a blast to use!

 

[H2Yo]

Is there an (easy) way to swap the Back Button and Alt-Tab Button (No idea what its called) around? When using the phone one handed, it's hard to hit the back button when its on the left.

 

[Timedog]

I just got and activated this phone. What should I do with it?

throw it in the garbage, the fun is over.

Or like, download stuff. Lotsa stuff.

 

[SRG01]

For Canada-GAF: Has anyone noticed all the recent promos for the Nexus 4? Is this a sign that something's going to come out during Google I/O despite being less than a year since its release?

 

[Revoh]

guys what case should I get?

nope. It's just because Telus/Bell/etc... are just now starting to carry the nexus 4.

Is there a way to get rid of the "back" "home" and "apps" buttons at the bottom while using apps? It takes up a lot of screen space that could come in handy when browsing the web. What would be perfect is if Google gave me the option to disable it, and then let me swipe from the bottom/side of the phone to bring it back (for 5 seconds) similar to how to swipe down the notifications bar.

 

[hitsugi]

Question - around 9 times out of 10, I can't hear anything on the other side of a conversation unless I'm on speakerphone or a headset.. OR if I give the phone a shake, I'll get tolerable volume. Is this heard of?

#2 - My USB connection seems to be really spotty.. sometimes won't charge overnight or it will rapidly connect -> disconnect.

I've had the phone since launch, is it too late to do anything about these problems? They weren't always there but it's getting worse and worse.

There's no way to hide the software buttons without rooting your phone.

I've had an extremely loose USB port on 2 of my replacements or at least one of them. I called Google and got a replacement.

 

[Timedog]

today was my first day using a smartphone ever and i dropped it on the sidewalk. What's a good case?

A lot of people in the thread like the official bumper and Ringke Fusion.

Does anyone have the problem of the screen not lighting up when you get a text message?

loose USB port should always get you a replacement as long as you're under warranty.

 

[criesofthepast]

You mean when the phone screen is off (standby) and you get a text? It doesn't light up like the iPhone. You get the notification light instead.

Unless I'm misunderstanding your a question?

 

[Liquidus]

The screen doesn't light when you get a text. The notification light does however. You can use Lightflow to control the color and frequency of the notification light.

 

[wsoxfan1214]

I want one of these so bad but lack the money.

Yeah that's what I was meaning. That's a shame that there is no option for that cause I'm always missing texts now. Thank k's though

 

[remz]

I dropped my Nexus 4 and wrecked the digitizer so now it's completely screwed.


If I want to get it fixed who should I go to, Google or LG? I'm in australia

 

[Groof]

There are apps that can do this. If you use Light Flow it has a setting for lighting up the screen when a certain notification is triggered.
