[Q] Factory reset question. - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have preformed a factory reset on my phone (Google Nexus 4) a few times and I noticed that it deletes my data/resets it. I would like to know if this is a way for me to cheat my 2 gb data cap or if I'm being charged

what you delete is the record on the phone. The record that is used to charged you monthly by Tmobile or AT&T or Verizon is stored on their servers.

Yes. You solved the data cap issue and are smarter than the carriers.

[Q] Has anyone else found that Google wallet works on N7?!

Just for fun I decided to try to sign into Wallet. I didn't have any faith that it works since it doesn't work on my Evo LTE. Not only did it activate, it showed $10 in my account. What was interesting was that the $20 I loaded onto the phone does not show on the tablet. Obviously, it's device dependent.

it was all over the web several days ago
I can't wait to look so cool at Starbucks by swiping my tablet to pay.
I read about the update but I missed the part where someone said it works. I have it on my phone and it doesn't work, despite being one of the features that was played up.

It should work. It was pushed out and can make payments without being connected to the internet.
As a matter of fact, I activated it on my gnex and I got the ten dollar credit. I used it with no problem. Today I got my Nexus 7 and set it up, and got another ten dollar credit. The gnex shows balance zero, the 7 says ten dollars. For what it's worth, if you set up wallet on a rooted device, there is a warning art the top of every screen that the device is not supported for security reasons. Everything still works fine though!

[Q] How did you name your Nexus 7?

I have been thinking about re-naming my Nexus 7 ( Bluetooth, Play & PC) but I have really no idea what to name it..
I was hoping I could get some inspiration here
So what did you name your Nexus 7 on:
Play Store
Bluetooth
PC?
Screenshots included to further show what I mean.

I see what you did there
Maybe "Bugatti Veyron" or "NOT iPad mini [bluetooth]".
Things are starting to pop into my head now, but keep them coming!
"Warning: Trojan Detected..." for bluetooth
Mine is name "Hwa Rang"

Not sure if you are in the US, but I normally name my wireless network and any Bluetooth device 'FBI Surveillance Van #6'

Market

I went to install an android app via the market on the internet and it doesn't list my Nexus? Probably because it's rooted, but how do I fix this? I've never had this issue with rooted phones before.
Mines rooted and running PA and it shows up in the Play Store. Are you sure you're signed into your google account and sync is on?
Which app?
It has nothing to do with root.

What does it deal with then?
I don't know in your specific situation, but rooting the phone won't make it disappear from your devices in the Play Store.

Any idea how to fix it or if it's an issue with Google and not my phone?
Edit: not sure why but clearing the cache/market data fixed it

greenify on nexus 4?

Hey everyone, I had a question.
I did a complete wipe of data and I also wiped the system also. Issue I have is that for some odd reason even when I did all that greenify Still had my settings after I flashed to a new ROM.
Why is that?
Did you restore the app?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
If you wiped your data from CWM recovery, I know that it doesn't wipe the internal storage for me, maybe that's why it didn't wipe Greenify's data
I didn't restore the app. I also wiped the system also.
If the information you gave us is correct, there are two possible explanations. 1) The info is saved on the emulated SD. 2) The info is backed up to a server and automagically restored (doubtful).

This. It is most likely the first one

read what it says under automatic restore(this is in main settings, backup and reset, and refers to apps installed from the play market. it saves your settings on googles servers)..

yup.
this option works well too, market apps only though. its a shame, not many people realize that the option exists.
how useful is greenify, i run it on my nexus 7 and i dont use it enough to figure whether it does expand battery life

its very useful, especially if you have apps that behave bad. if those apps are running in the background and draining battery, then this will save you some battery.

Fast. T-Mobile. Com my data speeds are 1-3mbps normally see 35+ . I called T-Mobile to no avail. I thought GPRS WAS 2G?

I'm pretty sure that as long as the APN settings are correct, it doesn't matter what the actual APN is named. Are you on an unlimited plan and if so do you consume a lot of data each month? They may have slowed you down temporarily if you're in your area's peak hours.
I have same settings but it's LTE, that's the proper setting. Worry not the name

Ok thank you all and I'm on unlimited but have been on WiFi.. I know my note 4 pulls 35+ down but this nexus is barely getting 1mbps.... Customer service tried to say unlocked devices may not receive the same speeds etc

Its rare that a Customer Rep would know the correct answer, you'll get 10 different answers from 10 Rep's!
I changed my apn from default to the Nexus 6 settings....a quick Google search will take you to the T-Mobile support page. Haven't had an issue, except sometimes mms doesn't send, and I'll get duplicate messages especially from my girlfriend's iPhone 6s plus
