Wait, So Uh, Is The Sticker Supposed to Be Taken Off?

See http://www.google.com/nexus/#/7 this?
Notice how the sticker on the bottom back is on? Was that supposed to be on? Because I removed it, and it came off really easily.
Nothing major, just curious.

Mine is still there, just too lazy to remove
No one can force you to have it there for eternity.
I guess it's important to have the CE label etc on the device when shipping to inform the user...

Its probably there as a requirement for shipping. On your phone you will see those standards,most likely under the battery cover, but you can't access that on the nexus 7 so instead of ruining the aesthetic having them permanently printed, its nicer to just have a sticker.

Mine is gone gone gone too..
Just like the tags on the back of my tops.. and Top of my skirts that tend to stick out..
As well as the tags on my mattress we bought not so long ago.. Its a ffc requirement by manufacture to put them there. If it were to be non removable it would have been like the STUPID ASUS LOGO ..
NOW MY Question is can someone get that off and PUT A Real pc manufacturer name there . Asus used to be the best out there . I really thought google would have enough control over the nexus to make it better then standard asus devices. Now they are no doubt a last ranking provider .. what a shame...

Mine either never had one or came off accidentally when I was unwrapping it.

I took mine a way when I unboxed it, it is not important

Dont take it off, its supposed to leave residue, otherwise you cant claim warranty :-o

Take it off! Then go rip the tags off your mattresses.....live a little!

I removed it and placed it on the box just in case it will be needed in the future.

atFolix Fx clear screen protector .
Dry and have a great feel. covers the whole back and front
All wet screen protectors like zaagg or xtreme guard have the same problem.
They reduce the touch response due to rubberry feel. And they get dirty very quickly

Bit late now I know but I always go for Spigen screen protectors, used one on my GS3 for months and it was fantastic. Not a mark on it.

I got these http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00A0721CS/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1362436750&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
Cheap & resilient. They have a matte finish which takes a little getting used to, but I've got to like it over the last while (well I've kept them on anyway!)
Quick delivery from Germany to Ireland (anywhere in the EU I guess)

Cheap and cheerful, does the job. Fit is fine. Doesnt cover the full screen, upto the point where the screen slants. And doesnt have cutouts for the proximity sensor. But it fits fine, hasnt fallen off yet (had it on a week now) and for the price I cant complain. Its matte and stops finger prints/grease which is what I wanted.

I'd go for the Zagg Invisible Shield.. They have been by far the best screen protectors I have used on my phones in recent years. With a lifetime Warranty and excellent customer service. Yeah its £15 and maybe a couple £ for shipping but in my experience I (touch wood) have never had any issue with them!

[Q] 2 screen?

My question is:
Is there a way to have two things running on the screen at the same time like the s note2. granted i know the screen is not the same size but i do think it is big enough to have the function. and if so how ca it be done????

Sorry that is multiview and that is a Samsung feature. I believe we will never see that on the N4. Dev's are trying to get it to work on S3 and still have not got it.

There a some multiview apps available in Google Play i think. Don`t know if they run on non-samsung devices. Don`t use them myself so i can`t name one.

Not to get off subject, but your signature reminds me of the thing that I miss the most about my s3. Wicked ROM.

I noticed that the lg optimus g has it in the notification bar where you switch by selecting it and fading it out to see the other screen. I've been looking to see if there is something out there that could be flashed.

[Q] What to look out for when buying a used Nexus 4?

Here in Pakistan. I'm going to buy a 2nd hand/used Nexus 4. obviously the display, screen etc won't be NEW. But what do I have to look out the MOST for getting it. How to check :-
If the Screen is not replaced? (Touch responsiveness etc)
Battery ingenuine or heavily tampered
If the display is bad or put to bad use?

What you should do is get the cheapest one you can find and make sure it is covered under warranty. Then call google, tell them you got your nexus as a gift and it is not working right, and they will send you a new one. My friend did this and it worked flawlessly.

Oops. Well he had an overheating battery.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

The first thing you should look out for is whether the device is legit or not. You can do this by looking at the model number on the box. You can also check the kernel, model number, baseband, android version, etc via the phone's settings. All current nexus 4s should run android 4.2.2. To check the internal hardware, I would run a benchmark. If the benchmark score is close or higher than the one listed, then the device should be legitimate. As for the screen, look around the bezel for imperfections and signs of damage. The screen should be black when off, not gray or greenish. However, not as black as the actually bezels and chins. Play around with it, if its genuine it should be responsive.
Lastly, for the battery, you should try charging the device and if the device becomes warm or too hot the battery may have been changed with the wrong MaH and can be aftermarket, possibly able to do damage to your device. If it isn't hot during charging, ask to try out the phone and play games. If the battery life is acceptable, go for it.
Keep in mind that the nexus 4 tends to get hot when running intensive apps. This is normal. Try out the call quality and reception the device could have a damaged radio or speaker and such. Hope this helps.

[Q] Lighting not even?

Hello everyone!
I bought my gn3 about a week ago and now i noticed that the lighting isn't even????
Did i damage it or note 3's have this issue?
its visible when the brightness is set to about 30% and on a gray background. its most visible on the left side of the screen (like a slightly brighter tint or something)
can anyone check it on their devices as well for me?
Thanks!

Edit : it's not only on the left side it's all over the screen. when I open the phone app I can see the background isn't one color but scales of dark grey and I think it's supposed to be black.

It's like that and there's really nothing you can do.
Except trying to find another N3 that doesn't have that, or at least in a smaller scale, but good luck with that.
And next time, do some Google searching...The phone is now more than one year old, so any other problems you encounter, you definitely wont be the first one.

Ah, I see.
I'll check my friend's note 3 tomorrow and I'll tell you what I find.
Thanks a lot.

That's normal. Nearly all units have that.

I checked my friend's and it's smoother than mine. Also mine is a little visible all the time.
Well then, since it's in all units I'm okay with it.
Does anyone know what causes it?
Thanks for everyone who replied.

That definitely isn't normal. I would exchange it.

I see. Well I will try to replace it and see if they are going to accept. Because it's only visible in few lighting conditions. (it also annoys me a lot)
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

Hm, this looks more like Light Bleed. That does warranty attempting to replace it, it shouldn't have that. (Although it often does in a lot of devices)

Well. What's the cause of that? Is it some loose screw?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

So I was thinking of replacing it. But before that I made a research about light bleeding. They say it's pretty common. So, I'm afraid if I replace it I get a worse one. What do you guys think?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app

It's a display problem. Samsung will replace it for free.

I see. But what if the new unit has the same issue? Do I keep replacing?

I don't think you will have the same problem. They have to replace the display, if also your new display will be broken, you are a very unlucky person

Well. I will go and see. I will tell you guys what will happen.

I have no idea where you're from, but there's usually more than one Samsung Service Centre in a country.. You can find the addresses on the Samsung website under Contact.

I just called them and oh gee. It's a 30 minute drive. I'm too lazy to drive for 30 minutes. Also I have exams. So maybe next week? xD
