***The Official LG Nexus 4 Thread***

I need this phone now!

Interesting developments with lte though. People have been using it with Canadian 4g carriers. Anyone know if those spectrums will be used in the uk?
 
I know this is the N4 thread but I just found out that the N10 (and 7) don't support Miracast.. So disappointed, I was going to order the 32GB N10 at the end of the month, but Miracast was one of the main features I was looking forward to, really not sure if I want the 10 now :(

To be honest, for me this whole Nexus launch has turned from happy excitement to a general bit of a bummer in most respects... I guess I'll perk up a bit when I actually get my "back ordered" N4 but still, meh...
 
I heard that the miracast feature is present in the software, it just isn't activated on the N10 and 7. I expect future custom ROMs and even official releases will unlock it.

Unfortunately it's not as simple as that, at least on the Nexus 7. Miracast requires 802.11a support which the Nexus 7 doesn't have so it won't be a case of just enabling something in a custom ROM.

There is however an alternative on the N7 if you have a Raspberry Pi:

I keep meaning to try it but not had the time up until now.
 
For anyone interested in what happens after O2's exclusive on the N4 expires on 10 Dec, 3 will be selling the N4 immediately after. Same (overinflated) price as O2 by the way.

I was in my local O2 today in London and asked to demo the N4. The guy said the demo model was ripped from the display case yesterday and stolen! Geez. Anyway he got one from the back after 10 mins! Imagine, having the exclusive and being too lazy to display it? I stacked it against my GNex and the similarities in dimensions are amazingly close. Just the glass back and the headphone jack being on top rather than the bottom seemed different. And no little bump on the back for the battery, as with the GNex. But they felt almost identical otherwise in appearance. But the OS was so damn smooth. The extra horse-power is so notable. Would certainly be fun if EE brings its SIM free 4G price down when competition hits and if the N4 is compatible with EE's 4G.

Ah thanks, I didn't know that. Just assumed that Miracast was like DLNA and would work over any reasonably decent wifi connection.

I've tried it with my Samsung ES8000 TV and disappointingly it does not work.. something to do with Samsung's AllShare being based on an early implementation of Miracast and not the current version I think.
 
is anyone else having problems putting music on?

ive copied my music onto the phone and only power amp is able to play or even see the files. I cant even get the google music manager to work.

the music is just cd's i ripped to my laptop last night as needed music for work today. not sure what i have done wrong, i just copied the music folders into the music folder on nexus 4

cheers,
