The_Lions_Roar Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 My missus wants the white one. Is that even out in the uk yet? http://www.expansys.com/google-nexus-4-16gb-black-252190/ Not cheap though at £310 Sod that, was hoping it would be reduced like the black one.

Don_Simon Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Im going to ask a question of which the answer may be startlingly obvious, but as a complete, utter and total technology numskull, I need to ask it... Ive been banging on and on about purchasing a tablet. Ive waited patiently (or not), for the new Nexus to come out and need to get the 4g version as I want to use it on my commute to and from work, 3hrs a day. However, I dont really want to spend the big bucks on 4g prices, when I think 3g will suffice. So, the question... will I be able to use Giff Gaff's unlimited £12 3g goodbag in the 4g new Nexus 7? Help! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease! Check the Three tariffs too, they've already stated that they'll offer LTE at the same price as their 3G. Of course changing SIM in a tablet is hassle free as long as it's PAYG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 The drop in price on the nexus 4 has tempted me feel into a change of phone after having my s3 for a year. I'm looking at just the 8gb one, just trying to work out if it'll be big enough. My s3 says total space 11.25gb, available space 5.56 gb. Does the Samsung software take up 4.75gb leaving me with the 11.25? Does the nexus software take up storage or do you actually get 8gb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Lions_Roar Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 I've decided to wait until the next nexus phone is announced. Hopefully it'll be a similar price to this one and lte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted August 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted August 29, 2013 Does the nexus software take up storage or do you actually get 8gb? I seem to remember you get 5.5 gig to play with on the nexus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the Samsung software take up 4.75gb leaving me with the 11.25? Does the nexus software take up storage or do you actually get 8gb? My advice is to hold onto the S3 and get the new Nexus 5. The reason the big price drop is because the new Nexus is imminent and the Nexus will be superb value. The S3 and Nexus 4 as very very similar phones hardware wise. Last year's top specs. Given how good a phone the S3 is still I'd strongly advise waiting for the new Nexus 5, even if you then decide to go for a Nexus 4 at least you make the decision well informed.

Yeah I posted that I'm going to wait. I was only tempted to change as it essentially wouldn't of cost me anything as I could of sold the s3 for the same price. I realise that I wouldn't be getting anything better spec wise. Any sniffs on when the nexus 5 will be announced and any rumours spec wise?

Dodgyknees Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Just had the red light of death with my Nexus... was charging, then suddenly switched off and boom red light Am I cursed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I was thinking about this today. The most unstable thing in a phone is... the battery yet nearly everyone now seals it into the phone and doesn't let you remove it. It makes sense as it will possibly increase the number of phone sales as if your phone dies like that plenty will get a replacement. Anyway you Nexus is under warranty. Contact Google, they're great with this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dodgyknees Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Left it on charge when I popped out for an hour, came back and it had rebooted (and was on a 1% charge loop) but it was on, I unplugged, rebooted, plugged back in and it seems fine. Phew! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I'd personally just wipe it, always good to have a clean out. With Google+ photo-auto-backup, and everything else being cloud based, it really doesn't matter about doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robojoel Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Still using the basic 'skin' (is that the right word?? What do you call the thing that changes the appearance and settings of your homepages setup) On my HTC one X but fancy messing around to get a new look/make it more personalized. What do people recommend in terms of new skins to play around with my home pages and general setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
