Odd things happen lately, no matter where I go with my nexus 4 anti theft systems at local stores like JC penny, Macy, old navy. Once I enter the store, the anti theft system beeps what the f**k? Or I leave the store. Anybody experiencing this?
I definitely can't say that I have

Nah, I don't think it's NFC, the maximum range is roughly around 10 cm, which is relatively short.
But what makes your think it's the Nexus that is triggering the alarm?
Well thought it was my vape at first. Its the phone in my op cuz happens to me and the wife she is stock I'm rooted. And its the only thing I'm my pocket when it happens JC Penny's old navy ross's k mart Walmart . its weird
Never had this happen nowhere in Germany. However I bought some boots once and months later in a random store the alarms went off. Showed one shoe was not unlocked when I bought it

It does it to me on my rooted and my wife's stock nexus
This has never happened to me with either of my phones (N4 running AOSP custom rom or Atrix HD running CM11) or any of my past phones (iPhone 3GS jailbroken, Atrix 4G CM10), but my Surface Pro 2 does set off those things when going into my school library

The solution would probably be to stop hiding under your clothes the T-shirt that you grabbed from previous store!!
That would stop the noise ?

With every electronic gadget using Lithium-ion batteries nowadays, it doesn't really matter how/when you charge it.
Some would argue to make sure to allow a full discharge from a full charge from a battery calibration point of view, so the battery meter is more accurate. It wouldn't affect the health of the battery itself either way.
Things like memory effect doesn't apply to lithium-ion. How often you charge it and how much you charge it (full or partial charge etc.) doesn't affect it much either. The only 2 things that can potential kill a lithium-ion is high temperature and letting it discharge far too low to the point that it cannot be charged up again. Note that all electronic devices will power off way before it even reaches this threshold.

Read this in a different thread when i was unboxing my nexus 7, i let mine sit for a while on the charger before i turned it on, but it came charged already. So far i have not let my nexus drain to 0% and the battery life on it is great, it can go for a entire day.

Sounds like it may be a corrupt download. Unless you plan to remain on the stock ROM just unlock/root it and then install what ever ROM you like.

thank you man, I suffered from this problem in my htc wildfire, and drove me crazy, I scanned and uninstalled all the apps I suspected. The same problem appeared in my brand new htc one after I installed a few app.
It never occurred to me that AVG was the culprit.

You don't know the level of suffering i had to go through.. I will be in a meeting or conference
with my Nexus 4 on silent.. A call comes and bam it rings..
Tried uninstalling all kinds of apps.. Never knew avg would do this..
Hey all I was just wondering if anyone is having problems with receiving calls. It seems to happen more and more lately. What happens is the phone rings and I answer it but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The phone then disconnects. It doesn't matter where I am so I don't think it's a phone network problem. I travel all over the place as I'm a truck driver. It seems to happen more when connected to a Bluetooth device but now it's starting to happen when not.
I'm am rooted and at present running on stock. It doesn't matter if I'm on stock or a custom ROM it does the same thing. I'm really regretting getting this phone and ready to go back to my DROID RAZR MAXX HD. I like the phone its blazing fast but it has issues which I've asked about before. I bought this phone on the Edge plan and did line swapping to keep unlimited data. But I'm ready to throw it in the garbage or sell it real cheap. Or starting all over and leaving it unrooted and see what happens. Really wanted root so I could tether when ever I want. Any suggestions?

What does this do that the Google built in device manager doesn't? I thought you could track, wipe, and sound an alert with what's built in to android. Why do I want this (sincerely asking)?

Read up on the features it can do so much more like taking screenshots or activating back or front camera if someone has stolen ur phone you can even activate wifi or location through sms so IMHO far better than android device manager

android manager only works when your account is in use. Consider your phone is stolen and you used a wipe. Now your account information is removed and Google device manager is now useless.
There are lot of differences. I use avast anti theft rooted. My phone was stolen and I was able to track it, control it and eventually got it back after 4 weeks.
What you can do with this app which adm can't
Use sms commands to control your phone
Block Uninstall manager and/or settings page remotely
Whenever a new sim card is inserted you will be notified. This is most useful feature.
Force data and gps connection remotely. The other user can't turn it off.
In my personal opinion, you can't prevent theft.. If you lock down your phone (what you can do in adm) after that, the thief knows there is something wrong, and he may flash new firmware. But these app allow to silently track the phone which gives more power to locate the phone.

Definitely this is a very very useful app, hope the thief doesn't know the loop holes.

Explain, man? This is huge.
Well I got very lucky. I tried the Good home trial program where they sent me 4 different versions of Glass with the prescription frames. The package list clearly mentioned that these were non working versions.
However...The good news. One of my units is working. I have a completely functioning Glass for $50. I wanted to be upfront with Google and let them know but they said it wouldn't work forever but it's been over a month and still working. It is version XE13 of the firmware and isn't updating to anything beyond that at this point. Everything else is okay...

You could try to manually flash a newer update. If I were you, I wouldn't tell Google .
Can you show some pictures from the four different Glasses with the usb ports? Google 'destroy' the usb ports, and send them out to the people who use the trial program.
the XE13 is a software update that never got released for the 'official' explorers.
Well they didn't destroy the USB enough on one. With the right combination of chargers and cable I can charge it. I don't think I am able to get a computer to recognize it so I have to play with that to get it to work to before I can flash it.
I wonder if the fact that it is XE13 is why it won't automatically update.

So you kept the glasses and they only took $50 from your account nothing more?
That's correct. I also told them that I had a working Glass but they didn't seem to care so I figured my side of the street and conscious was clean.

well you could sign up for the home trial program. then you will have 4 pairs of google glass (semi working) Then you let google charge you the $50 hold and sell the 4 pair on ebay then you will have more than enough for google glass or some spare cash.
