[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Noobiologist:
Nexus would only be good with unlimited data plan + cloud storage. Nexus 4 8gb is for the casual users like college students who wants to view/edit their docs, transfer contents (docs, music, videos, etc) and stream contents like music (Spotify, Pandora, iHeartRadio) and videos (YouTube, Netflix, Hulu Plus).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliter1:
8GB is enough for me. I decided to start moving everything towards the cloud. I was using an old iPhone 3G as my PMP but I just bought an HTC One V that I am going to start using instead. Even if I wanted to use my Nexus as a PMP I would not want to drain my battery doing so. I don't play games on my phone anymore, they just do not work that well for me. If I want to play games on the go I have a 3DS and if I want to play at home I have a PS3 and an Xbox.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stacio88:
Oh yea, I forgot to mention that I have unlimited data so streaming from the cloud is fine for me. Thanks you T-Mobile for unlimited data :D
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ham duden:
I have a Nexus 7 16gb, and I want a Nexus 4.

1. I'm completely sure I will have all games, news apps, etc.on the Nexus 7

2. I don't have songs on my Huawei atm. If I hear any music it'll be on SoundCloud and radio .. (rest of my music is on my iPod)

3. I am not planning on selling it in the future. Will have it till it dies; and if I change my mind, I have a little brother willing to buy it (non-tech guy)

4. I will use cloud services as much as possible for photos and videos.

5. I have 12gb left on my Nexus 7 after 2 months.

6. I've bought a Micro USB to USB cable, so I can plug my 32gb USB into my Nexus 7/4 if needed.

I guess 8gb Nexus 4 will be sufficient for me?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhock:
It depends on how you use your phone. I rely on the cloud like Google wants us to and I have 5 gigs of space on my 8 gig yet. I still use an iPod for music, so I don't put that on my phone. I auto sync all my photos to my Google plus account. This leaves the memory solely for apps, and unless you are into memory heavy games, that shouldn't be an issue. I have a full three pages of apps, including a couple of games and still haven't crossed into the last 5 remaining gbs.

I have unlimited data, so I don't mind relying on the cloud for most everything. As I said , it all depends on how you are going to use your phone. I'm completely happy with my 8 though (now that I've figured out my battery issues).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrondroid:
I use my phone for music so 8gb is a little tight BUT I still have 2gb left of space, a gig and a half of music and plenty of apps. I also have unlimited data and all my videos etc are on the cloud. I am a big camera user as well so I keep the extra space for pictures and video taking which I then transfer to the cloud so I can delete them.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUnknownCopy:
Can someone tell me how they use the cloud to save pictures, music and videos and then stream on the device later?

Lol this is getting out of hand. I predict a locked thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Link.:
I'm going to wait until a video tutorial pops up, where I can watch someone perform the action to their device, before I try it on mine. I hate the VZW logo on the button as much as the next person, but I'm not going to risk having a screwed up button over removing the logo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
I don't mind the logo... not really that big of a deal but I seen someone used water mixed with sugar on a rag and wipped it off.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] thejron:
A button cover? Thats white trash as hell lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SFBPro:
Actually, this is the method I have been hearing for a month. You are supposed to tape around the logo and then mix water and sugar until it is pasty. Then you rub the logo off. The sugar acts as sand paper and grinds the logo off.

Now, my experience with hydrochloric acid definitely says for you to not use 8 oz overnight...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SwiftLegend:
Yeah I'm wonder about this too. Trying to decide between the DNA and this, and that logo is killing me. I haven't played with either phone yet, but from all the videos/pictures I've seen, the logo is pretty stand out-ish. Yeah the DNA is pretty much Verizon color schemed, but in all honesty, flat black and red looks amazing.

Verizon seriously has some idiots working for them. Whoever thought it was a good idea needs a swift kick in the ass.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zombieplanalpha:
Someone brave should see if it is removable like the one on the S3, also the volume rocker and power are removable on the S3, if so you should have some one in China make a bunch of them with funny things written on them or make them different colors then your phone could look like that interior of the every honda form ten years ago with painted center consoles and AC vents... or make them Glow in the dark, if stickers are 10 bucks then an actual button should pull and easy 50 bucks, and a set of buttons 75 bucks for sure.

Not quite sure why anyone would use sugar and water for an abrasive paste unless they really can't be bothered to go buy something that's actually made for the task.

I also ordered the button stickers and will post pics later today. I am familiar with removing logos which are overlaid on the finish surface. I have successfully removed verizon logos from the original droid and you CAN remove the 4G and Verizon logo from the battery cover but based on my experience with the button on the front, DO NOT try to sand it off.

Incidental note: I used 1000 grit (that is extremely fine) sanding paper to ever so lightly abraid the surface.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nnnnr14:
Doesn't matter anyway it's etched in the paint so sandpaper wouldn't even work.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] raisinbrannon:
Actually, the logo is not etched into the paint on the grey model. It is on the white model. I dropped my phone face down on concrete and cracked the screen. :'( Of course I had insurance and filed a claim with Asurion, making this a $699 + $100 phone. Lol. But! Before I sent the old one back, I figured I would try to get the logo off the button. Tried the penny trick. Didn't work. Sugar didn't work. So I brought out the sandpaper. It appears the bottom is actually silver/light grey and the dark grey is painted AROUND the Verizon logo. I rubbed on the button and the logo went away.. along with the grey paint...

Anyway I've placed my order for the vinyl button covers off eBay. I hope they match closely! If anyone has pics, I would love to see them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
I would love to show some pics, but i ordered the vinyl stickers over a month ago (paid for with paypal) and they never came.

I haven't bothered to follow up on it as it's not enough cash to worry about and i have an aluminum button cover that works super.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] raisinbrannon:
Wow that sucks! Sorry man. I like the aluminum ones but I have ocd tendencies and without the stickers being grey it would really bother me.. I bought the white Note & I ordered white stickers but before they came I exchanged my phone for the grey Note 2. I love the way the grey looks compared to the white.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxxmarkxxx:

I'm thinking one of the nicer tempered glass screen protectors (probably from Spigen when they release one) which will come with a raised button to make it easier to press through the extra thickness of the screen protector.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Buddy Revell:
I bought the Titanium Grey. They gave me three exactly and the color was way off. Looked closer to the GS3's Pebble Blue than Titanium Grey imo. The color was so off, it bothered me more than the Verizon logo and I took it off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] CBConsultation:
I don't know why but my guess is you attempted to sand the button/remove the logo, it went horribly wrong and since you had insurance, you busted your phone on purpose to rectify your mistake. Just seems to circumstance that you "dropped it" after messing up the button.:laugh:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pjfranke:
I use a piece of post-it note. I didn't get insurance right away, but I wanted to be sure I wouldn't drop the phone and break it before signing up, so picked up an Otterbox Defender the first day. It's a nice case, though has an integrated screen protector. I could remove it, but as it's bonded to the case, I see that being a permanent change.

So, I'm using it as is. They left a hole over the home button though, and I didn't want dust/grit/lint/etc getting in the hole, and between the protector and the screen. So, just cut a small piece of post-it, and covered the hole. It looks slightly tacky, but IDGAF; it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidx2.3.3:
Slightly off topic but, if you put that otter box in the freezer ( no phone in it) for a while. The glue that holds the screen protector on will harden and you will be able to just take it off. Then when you want to put it back on the glue will still be there. I know this because mine was delivered on a very cold day and sat out side for a while. Just be sure to go slow when peek ng the protector off the frame.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
I bought the vinyl ones and the spigen ones. I have to say, the vinyl ones look like crap. They look cheap and I would actually just prefer the VZW logo over it. It looks like you used one of those sticky labels, cut it out, and placed it over the button. The Spigen ones raise the button and also cover it fully so I can't even see the side. More pricey, but way better product.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
Yeah....that's kind of horrible. Post it note? Big 'ole yellow square on your $700 phone? Yikes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
LOL, that's looks hideous!!

I agree with the previous poster who had tried both the Spigen & the vinyl covers. The Spigen aluminum buttons are awesome, the vinyl ones look way too ghetto for me.....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kimdoocheol:
Yeah. I'm actually shocked people praise them. You get them in this rolled up piece of cardboard. Everyone here exclaims they are so cheap! Well, they look cheap and are made cheaply. I took mine off after the first day and switched to the Spigen one.

A post it note definitely is not any better than those vinyl covers, lol. Just cut it with a scissors and plop it on there. Same same.

Anyone who is thinking about geting those vinyl covers should go to the store, buy a label booklet, and then trace it over the button/cut it out. It is almost exactly the same quality and way cheaper.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] reloaded89:
A Samsung rep once told me that it wipes off easily, but we tried to scrape the logo off at work once (Best Buy Mobile) so we could replace a missing Sprint mock. That logo is pretty deep. I don't think it can come off

Logo

I have heard the best method is to not buy this phone from Verizon in the first place if the tiny logo is going to bother you that much.

C'mon people! Are were really still talking about this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
This. I don't get how it bugs people so much. Or why people would risk possible damage to the screen by sanding it off.

Ah, so the button is actually the silver color of the verizon logo and the black is painted over it. So basically you could sand the hell out of it and have a silver home button...or just buy one of those aluminum ones and call it a day.

Pics of the aluminum one? It looks like they'd stick up a lot higher than the stock one...

[Galaxy Note II General] mikewired:
While on a tech support call today I place the GN2 on the desk and used speaker phone. It works great, but when having to make in call menu selections using the keypad the touchtones are VERY LOUD !!!!! I have turned off all key tones that I can find , but no success. Any fixes?
[Galaxy Note II General] doctorsax:
These are called DTMF tones, they're standard sounds used by touch tone phones to broadcast menu choices to phone systems like the one you called (among other things - they are also used for dialing). If you turned them off then you wouldn't be able to navigate through those menus. The only advice I can give you is to turn your call volume down while you're making selections so they're not so loud.

Email retrieval

I did some research and it turns out that Gmail uses a special push mechanism. There is no interval. It is always listening with a low power service. No need to turn it down.

For those that care, it might be Microsoft's mail push mechanism or XAMPP, people aren't sure which. Some docs say it just opens a connection to a webservice, which would mean XAMPP is what they've converted to.

The option to reduce Gmail possible power consumption is to change from the Gmail client to the standard email client and set up polling. The only time Gmail won't be getting pushes is if Data Network is disabled.

Hope this helps.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgtoys:
So, I purchased my Nexus 4 through the Google Play store and will be using in with Tmobile (US). After searching around and not really getting a solid answer, I called T-Mobile to ask if the Play Store purchased Nexus 4 qualifies to be protected through T-Mobile's Equipment Protection program (insurance). Well, I still didn't get a solid answer. The rep was not sure off hand and had to do some searching. The best she could do was figure that more than likely it will be, but nothing said for sure yet.

She mentioned that it probably would be since it is a supported device, and that "they made an exception for the Nexus 1, so that may be an indication that the Nexus 4 will be supported." (obviously Nexus 1 was only sold through Play Store directly, not through any carriers, yet because it was supported on the Tmobile network they insured it).

I was told to keep the current insurance program that I have on my HTC One S because it should automatically transfer over to the new phone once activated, however it still was not for sure, and I should just call back a couple times until they have a final answer.

What are your experiences? Has anybody else called Tmobile and been told the same, or different?

Also, anybody have experience with SquareTrade phone insurance? Does it work well or is it a big hassle? Just looking for some input so we know our options if Tmobile doesn't protect it...http://www.squaretrade.com/smartphone
