Not sure if this supports the Nexus 4, but it looks like the app DroidCam (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dev47apps.droidcam&hl=en) is what you are looking for.

Not quite what I was after. I would like to use my front camera chatting on my phone browser. Same as you use your laptop camera on video chat.

It's not possible with phone browser. At least not the popular ones. They don't support that protocol. Even with you desktop browser you have to install an add-on most of the time.
I recommend using a video chat apps. There are plenty of options out there.

There isn't a setting anywhere that I've found that enables the fast scroll go the top of the page iPhone style. There may be a third party app or a script to run that enables that functionality. If anyone knows of such a modification, please chime in.

I was just thinking this today. To my knowledge there isn't anything. I'm going to look on market.

No, however, some apps build in functionality for jump to top.
Just from Google responses, it looks like the Dolphin HD browser has this built in

Popup video app

I was using super video for the longest time, but now it requires flash, so does anybody know of a good one that will work for me? Specifically that I can hit the share button on and watch YouTube videos.

Why not just side load flash.apk to your device like I did? Works perfect.

Why not? It is faster now (for some phones) still doesn't mean it is good.

Streaming media to XBMC on raspberry pi!?

Hi guys. I was wondering if anyone know of any apps or methods on how to stream my media from my phone to XBMC on my raspberry pi?
I was able to do it through HTC Sense gallery app and music app on my Desire HD. It was a pretty handy feature and would like to know how to do through AOSP.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this topic lol.
Thanks guys

Hi, I'm currently looking forward to to the same.
Best solution I've found yet, is to use Bubbleunpnp.
It doesn't enable you to do mirroring, but you can stream media (photos,videos,etc...).
It works flawlessly for me (N4+Raspbmc), you just have to enable Unpnp in xbmc's settings.
Cheers
Was going to suggest the same. Bubbleupnp is a great piece of kit for streaming phone media to xbmc

Ir blaster

Just wondering what other devices you guys are using your note 3 to control. I didn't even know you could use it for things other than a TV. In the xda YouTube video review of the note 3, the reviewer mentioned he was using his note to control the camera he was using to record.

It can control anything that uses IR to receive signals and messages.
How can you use it for other things? Only options in the watch on app are Tvs and top boxes

What would you like it to do?
Of course, I use it with:
My TV's
My Dish Sets
My Projector
My Nikon
And right now I'm in the works of making my garage door work as well.
PD. I recommend using the smart remote app instead of the watchon one.

What app are you using ?
This small addon is one of the major reasons I will upgrade from note 2. Anyone tried controlling AC ?

Best one I've found so far. Simple and quick.
The Watch On app is the one that came with your phone with a fuscia icon and a tv BUT if your signature is right your phone doesn't have an IR Blaster nor this Samsung app
