I've never had a touch screen phone and am wondering about the Nexus 4.
One of the things I want to be able to do with the Nexus 4 is make memos or notes to myself using hand writting. Does anyone see any reason why the Nexus 4 would not be able to do this?
BTW I have a GNote10.1 with the S-Pen and know the Nexus 4 does not come with a pen but I think a finger or scribe should work.
I also want to beable to read text files on the Nexus 4. Can you see any problems with doing that?
Has anyone heard if the Nexus 4 will work wifi without a carrier?
Yes, Yes, and YES

You should be able to find an app that does this, or something similar. As far as I'm aware, however, there is no native/pre-installed app that supports this. Not on any of the Android phones I've played around with at least, apart from the Note smartphones, of course.

Nope! No problem at all. You should have no problem at all reading text files (.doc, .docx, .txt, etc) on your Android device. Particularly with something like OpenOffice.

It should do! Most other Android phones do, they just complain that there's no SIM card. It'll work as an Android-equivalent of an iPod Touch, basically.
Thanks for the replies.
For writing memos, I use an app called Quill. Might wanna look into it

I know nothing about hacking/porting/developing apps, but does anyone know the likelihood of wallet being ported to the Nexus 7?
Also considering the number of strange looks I get when I use my Gnexus to pay for stuff, how do you think people will react when I put my tablet up to the paypass?
I have seen at least one picture of a Google IO attendee using his Nexus 7 to pay for a burger, I think.

You would look rather absurd or YOU'RE HACKING THE PAYPASS SYSTEM!!!!
But in all honesty, it shouldn't have to be ported and it 'should' work. I mean the same Google Wallet apk worked on the Verizon GNex, International GNex, I presume the same apk is on the Nexus S etc. I might look a bit off (scaling and position of the icons, text and buttons) but functionality should still be there. The question is whether Google will allow for it to run on the Nexus 7.

I would laugh if I saw someone whip out a 7" tablet to pay for their food. It makes sense on a phone, but on a tablet? Metinks not.

Its completely impractical but it works. Something interesting that I found out though.... my nexus 7doesnt use the same prepaid google card as my galaxy nexus. I have two different balances on the devices.

I ordered a nexus, but I wanna know, what I can use nfc for?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
This is exactly what I was wondering but was afraid to ask in order not to look like a noob
I mean, I know the basics of the technology, but any good use? I mean, I don't care about NFC tags that I have to glue to my desk, because I already have a better way to turn on wifi automatically or do different stuff (i.e. Setting Profiles uses GPS or GSM location to do these things).
I mean - I have Nexus 7 and Note 2, which both have NFC. I saw some demonstrations concerning file trenasfer between phones and what not... But when I put my Note 2 onto N7, I only hear a beep and that's it... what has to be done i.e. to use NFC to transfer something between these 2 devices? Does this work in combo with Wifi direct?
D.
In am not sure if the note 2 uses the normal beam app built into android or not but I know if I put my nexus s or nexus 4 back to back next to my nexus 7 (nexus s to nexus 4) with say the gallery app opened up it will allow me to beam the image selected to the other device...you can also use it for webpages, contacts and other such shareable items.

when your looking at ....anything, and wanna show a friend put your devices back to back till you hear the beep, then touch the screen on the device you wanna send from,
i can send pics, youtube video urls, webpage urls, mp3's,videos, etc from nfc connection:good:

You beat me to it
I like that dude's YouTube channel, so thanks for introducing me to it... Ah, Hackintosh, there's a scene I haven't been to involved with since the early leaks of the developer preview of 10.4.3 way back when... (I'm pretty certain I was amongst the first to get it booted on anything other than the developer platform, lol) NFC though, I've not really had much use for it. Got a few devices which support it, my partner's S2 as well, although trying to get the I9100P's party piece working in an I9100 CM10.1 ROM has been hit and miss. I should grab some tags to use for profile switching and app launching on my Nexuses (Nexii?), it seems like the only thing I'm likely to use it for in the short term, at least.
Nfc is a gimmick. I tried to send a pic to my cousin once using nfc. It wouldn't even send it... It said file was too large... Wtf its like a 25kb pic file... Seriously?
Gimmicks gonna gimmick

Try this thread, or this thread. The Galaxy Nexus forum has a few similar threads that might give you some ideas, too.

I have a very old Samsung BlackJack using the Windows Mobile 5 OS.
Samsung SGH-i607 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Is it possible to migrate all of the SMS from that phone on to my Nexus 4? I don't want to lose all of my SMS from that phone. I know it's a very old mobile OS and it's possible no tools exist, but I'm praying that the experts here might know a thing or two.
Thanks!
why on earth would you want to ?
There is a machine called cellebrite at most carrier stores. That should be able to put just about everything from your old phone to the new one. A lot of them charge for it. Anywhere between free and $20.

I have tons of SMS that I just want to retain on my phone. Once it's on my N4, I know I can eventually archive it.

Does it work for the scenario that I described? I've never read or heard of Cellebrite transferring SMS from Windows Mobile to Android.

You could use your SIM card to transfer them. Although that might take forever depending on how many you have.

You can look for the app Sprite Migrate - Beta 2. That's what I used to transfer all my information to Android years ago. If not, look for the apk online.

You can port your att number over to Google then use Google voice to send text with your n7
I tried and Google voice said my number is unavailable for port so I can't do that
Not sure of what app you're talking. About but I thought there z10 can port apks over to use em.

Not sure if this will work or not, but check to see if Mighty Text - the app, is on Blackberry, if it is, install it, set it up. Then, download the Android one to the N7 and have fun. That's what I did and it works like a dream. I have two Nexus' though, so not sure if Blackberry has that app available or not but it's worth a try.

Yeah I checked I haven't seen it so I need someone to make it a .bar file so I can sideload it
I have noticed how all the previous galaxy notes have had the formla match function, where you write a formula and it gives you the answer by using wolfram alpha, either in the S-Finder or the S-note, however ive realised, theyve removed the S-Finder in the note 4 and the formula function isnt in the S-Note, is it somewhere wher i cant find it or have the removed the feature? :crying:
I think I've seen it inside the calculator application on the Note 4.
Try hovering over the calculator's input field with the S-Pen and click on the button for the handwriting field.
Can't test it though as I haven't gotten my Note 4 yet.
Thanks

Cheers =) im going to O2 tommorow so il definetely check it out. ive been looking for this for so long, thank you so much!! ;D
I've never used the feature you are talking about, but after doing some looking around, I found a button that transforms your writing into a formula. Haven't been able to get it to solve anything though.

I dont have one but a search for s-finder note 4 found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/remove-s-finder-qick-connect-t2906220
so it must still be on the note 4. Please try it and post back..I'd like to know too.

I dont know, i dont really see why they removed it in the first place. the most common answer ive seen is that its in the calculator, il check that the next time i use it. If they have removed it, theres only one way you can get it, but i dont know if thats capable of handwriting recognition, only one way to find out and thts to wait and find out.
I cchecked
