Users... is Galaxy Nexus's CPU/GPU still good enough for 2013 ?
Good enough is very subjective when nearly every decent release out there is either Tegra exclusive or timed exclusive. :(

Nexus 4 is rather tempting, kinda like the idea of wireless charging.

but yea, would rather wait for 4.2 on my Galaxy Nexus, furthermore i got mine when it was released in Singapore earlier this year :(

I have a question though for the Galaxy Nexus, has anyone recently faced problems downloading and/or updating their apps? I want to play with the updated Google Search and i cannot update my apps at all.

I am using Singtel as my telco running stock 4.1.2 unrooted and running Play Store version 3.9.16

anyone else facing a similar situation?


EDIT
found a solution, i had previously put a data restriction on Media, removing the restriction allowed the downloading/updating of apps through 3g
Can't download from Google Play store over 3G/Next... - CrowdSupport Telstra Help & Support Community Forum

Yup the wireless technology which they are using have been around for quite a while. Even Nokia lumia 920 has it.

I bought the qi wireless charging kit for my s3 previously from one of the guys in the bazaar (Facebook.com/mobnnovate) and it's really convenient. Can't post the video they made yet But u can search around!

*Not advertising btw, just sharing some good stuff!

Eh, just got the phone. But I can't put the back cover on. The battery seems to be bulging out at the bottom

I seldom game and if any are those non-intensive games.

So I was thinking maybe can get away with the Samsung Galaxy Premier instead of Nexus 4 for 2013.

With the OMAP 4470 on board, it's pretty much an "re-packaged" Galaxy Nexus which will a removable battery, card slot and fm radio.

That said, I'm still very tempted by the S4 Pro on the Nexus 4 despite some of it's shortcomings

Hmm? Bought second hand? Maybe it's an extended battery. If brand new try go service centre change.

If don't game much, then pretty much any recent model will do. But I dunno about how Touchwiz bloat performs on that particular setup, guess u should wait for reviews before deciding.

Fits now. Realized I need to push in the cover with some force

hmm, suppose to pop in the bottom on the cover first. then close up the sides and top part. perhaps you did it the other way round.

yeah i agree with you.. after putting in cm10, o/c 1.5ghz with franco seems pretty good..

my complaint so far is the screen could be better and better camera.. a faster processor is welcomed too..

so i am buying n4 lol

Hi, any one tried the copy and paste function. When you copy a sentence it will says copied to clipboard. Would like to ask where can I access to the so called "clipboard" I tried to look around but I couldn't find. How do I delete the things that has been copied to clipboard? Would appreciate if anyone can help.

Errr delete from clipboard for what? Do you do it on your windows desktop too? Its just copy and paste, the outdated data will be cleared, why need to delete?

Maybe he used to be Samsung user. They have a nice clipboard implementation when you get this clipboard history - which is pretty useful sometimes.

Anyway, there are several clipboard apps in the Store. GiocoPadrone can take a look at those.

Hi all, just to check is there any way to off the notification light below when receiving call? I already uncheck the option under the display setting but there is still notification light when someone call me. Any advice?
