[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenerdal:
I just got my phone about a week ago and i got it from Tmobile with the insurance they offered. But now I'm wondering if that was a good idea. To go with their insurance or Squaretrade or if the Nexus 4 comes with a 1 year warranty for accidents.

I'm careful with my phone, but accidents happen. You can't 100% prevent an accident, no one can't. It happens.

So what's a good insurance plan? I only plan on paying for one year, after that I don't think it will be worth it.

I read Squaretrade is good for iPhones, but idk for Android phones
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:
Square trade is a ripoff on android phones. $99 deductible, while its only $50 for iPhone 5.

Just go and get a nice protective case like ottobox and an armored screen protector.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QUIETLYloud:
I am on T-Mobile also and I have their insurance. As for the 1 year "warranty", it doesn't cover accidents, unless the accident happened before the phone got to you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saldebot:
I also am on t-mobile. The 1 yr warranty only covers hardware problems. example my first N4 had really bad light bleeding, they sent me a replacement for it, Which was on launch. Now 1 week ago I noticed my battery would not last more that 4 to 5 hours completely stock with data off most of the time and called it in and received my replacement on monday.

Insurance on the other hand covers theft, lost, broken glass etc.....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altqq:
saw a thread on reddit /r/nexus4 about geek squad protection plan. xda wouldnt let me post the link since i have <10 post.

Basically its 9.99/months or 169 for 2 years. No deductible, or claim limit. Covers liquid damage, physical damage and others. pm me for the link if you want more info, or head into a best buy to find out more.

Im heading to best buy tomorrow. So you might wanna look into it as well if you don't like square trade like me.

Thanks, nice review!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
Nice detailed review I always had an interest in one of these but was never to sure about it because I never heard of any first hand experiences.

A couple of questions I have though is, you said it has an external battery built into it. But I would assume that the charge goes down while you do a wifi connect via other devices? Or that is just a separate feature all together that is offered.

Another question I have is, (and maybe I missed it in the post but) does the WiFi disk have it's own internal storage or is this just like a hub that you can stick storage devices into that lets you broadcast a signal for you to connect too.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krash183:
The external battery is just a feature. The usb port to connect flash drives can just be used to charger a phone or tablet

The wifi disk has no storage itself. You must connect a peripheral to it for it to have storage
[Nexus 7 Accessories] CDeviant:
Does the internal battery allow you to just turn it on? Or is that other battery in the pictures that's supplying the power?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krash183:
The white unit is the wifi disk. The wifi disk is a wireless storage and an external battery pack. The wireless disk has a built in battery to power the unit on and to be an external battery pack. The black unit is a separate battery pack i bought before Christmas.... It does not come with the wifi disk.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jonnyg1097:
Can you use this while in CWM? As in being able to see the files on the different drives?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krash183:
I don't know about being able to see files via in a custom recovery. I don't think custom recoveries have the ability to connect via a samba connection to see files. I could be wrong so don't hold me to that statement
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Green Ranger:
Nice review! I actually posted a positive review too last week. Glad I'm not the only one who is willing to venture out into unknown name branded items. This thing is really a great product. I didn't think too much of it until i read your review, but I agree with you that wish this came in black instead of white and light blue (kind of an odd color combo too).
[Nexus 7 Accessories] andy1120:
Anyone know of any UK stockists? Nothing obvious on Google.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Explore3:
FYI - It is on sale at Newegg.com for $40 from a third party. I think a number of similar units will come on the market shortly. However, I picked up one of these.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1HD0HM8076

PS If you need warranty service, newegg is insisting on having the original box.

PPS Ebay has them for $60. I assume that you can order one from the UK.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Grumpymann:
Just ordered one of these. I'm on the road for days at a time and I need a way to connect 2 tablets and @ times 2 lap tops at a time to an external hard drive. Bit I have question (all be it a dumb one). Can I use one of those USB to ethernet dongels with this unit?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] krash183:
I'm not for sure about that but I would lean towards no
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bsoplinger:
Decided to get one from the Newegg sale and it arrived today. Does everything mentioned in the OP well. I only had 1 issue and updating to the latest firmware didn't help. Although both the wizard and the manual network settings allow you to define channel and connection type (b, g, n) the changes don't stick. It insists on being on channel 11 which is the channel my home wifi network uses :( Less importantly it also won't do only n connections but insists on all 3.

Otherwise it's a great performer.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Grumpymann:
l have had mine for about a week, and I have to say I LOVE THIS THING!!! I!m on the road for days at a time, the hotel internet sucks. I would have to transfer info from one tablet or laptop to another with an SD card. But with this I can keep all meildia on one harddrive and access it from any appliance I have with me. And it have extended my access to the.internet by as much as 10 to 12 feet. In some of the rooms. the connection is great by the dathroom but non existent anywhere else in the room. but with this I can access it anywhere in the room. The adlity to download AND upload on a nexus 7is just what I need.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vivek_Vivek:
Hey guys.. I'm having an international version of galaxy s3... Running

XXEMR2.. When I'm browsing on HSPDA, the phone goes up to 45°C within 5 minutes of continuous browsing.. Otherwise, browsing on EDGE is quite normal. The phone doesn't get heated up, stays within 35°C.... I'm using Battery widget reborn, for the temperature readings.. Is this normal?

Sent from my Potato
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Communication using H+ uses much more power than G or E, particularly if the signal is weak or you have a ROM with lots of services also running in the background while you browse. 45 degree is the battery temperature, that is not very hot but the cooler the battery is kept the better.

I stopped worrying about battery voltage, temperature, wakelocks etc when I got rid of my HTC, I only worry now if it gets too hot to hold!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Yep I agree with the person above. The plastic cover should insulate most heat so if the back vets too hot, that's when there's a problem

Hey guys,

So this has happened out of nowhere. Like the title says I can't sync my phone to my PC. When I plug the USB cable in it keeps trying to find the driver for the "MTP USB Device" and always fails.

Is it possible I don't have USB mass storage turned on? I did a search but couldn't find where that feature is.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Here's an (unofficial) Google apps package for CM10.1. All of the apps/libs/etc have been pulled from the official Galaxy Nexus factory image 4.2.2 (JDQ39).

Download link: gapps-jb-4.2.2-20130301-signed.zip

Notes:

1. This package DOES NOT include the GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk, as the current version included with previous JB GAPPS packages is 4.0.3 but it is no longer part of the official 4.2.2 ROM. It DOES include CalendarGoogle.apk (the official Google Calendar app) which is almost 100% identical to the CM calendar app, just has a prettier icon (IMHO), and it does not require the sync adapter. Also, apps like GTasks don't require the sync adapter, so no loss there. Apparently, the only app that does require the 4.0.3 sync adapter is the CM calendar app, which is removed by the GAPPS installer.

2. After flashing this GAPPS package, Google Now will most likely FC when launching a voice search. Fear not, just go to the Play Store and install the Sound Search for Google Play update (v1.1.7) and the Google Search update (v2.3.11.575405) and you will be back in business. Note: v1.1.7 cannot be installed as a \system\app, it will FC, it must be installed as \data\app as an update (believe me... I tried) and that's why it's not included in this GAPPS package by default.

3. If you have another GAPPS package installed, just flash this version over the top of the existing package in recovery (TWRP or CWM.) There is no need to factory reset, or wipe cache, or do any sort of silly rain dance.

4. Yes, this GAPPS package will back itself up and restore when flashing a CM update via CM Updater or manually in recovery.

5. Question? Post them in this thread.

Enjoy, and you're welcome!

They are the 4.2.2 updated apps and libs, not the 4.2.1 versions as in the 20121212 gapps package.

Did you not read the OP?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] m4570d0n:
I stand somewhat corrected. I wasn't thinking about the jar files and such. I did a quick comparison and they are indeed different, but what exactly is different?

For example, decompiling com.google.android.maps.jar shows that the only difference is 5 smali files. I opened the first one, MapActivity$1.smali and the only difference is they inserted an empty line at line 355. Just curious if there is actually any significant changes.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cschmitt:
Thanks. Fixed in gapps-jb-4.2.2-20130301-signed.zip. The correct lib to include is actually libjni_latinimegoogle.so from the factory image, renamed to libjni_latinime.so so that it overwrites the version included in the CM build.

I literally just got my N4 yesterday, and I have a question about Google Wallet. I'm currently running the stock rom and kernel, and my wallet is working. If I flash a custom ROM, will I have to do anything to ensure my Wallet will work on the new ROM?

Almost certain this procedure became unnecessary sometime in late 2012 when Wallet reverted to a cloud based method.

Hi Guys,

I installed the latest FoxHound 2.2 ROM on my Galaxy SIII and its fantastic. I'm loving it so far.

Before installating the FoxHound I was running OMEGA ROM and wasnt too happy about the customizations it allowed however it worked fine with Kies. I know you guys must be thinking why in the world I'm using Kies .. well mostly because Ive only owned the phone for a month and I havent read enough about the alternatives. But ever since FoxHound installation Kies doesnt seem to connect. Im using the latest version of Kies v2.5. I assumed this version supports custom ROMs. If you experts out there can let me know what i'm doing wrong Id really appreciate. I'm using the Siyah kernel by the way.
