I'll have a play with it. Though it's been the same settings for 3 years and nothing else has issues. My phone was working perfect until the latest update which is December for me.

I Could not find "HUNDREDS" of people having the issue, but if you "GOOGLE" ANY device, google will return a lot of results regarding wifi problems, I post this in regard of not generalizing or wide spreading issues as if they were absolutely true, at least, I have not seen "HUNDREDS" of posts here in XDA, where the info is really realiable

Your router probably needs a firmware upgrade or at least a reboot.

LG have uploaded the quick start manual to their website, worth a download if you're planning on buying a Nexus 4, it also shows the device will come in either 8GB or 16 GB versions, no mention of 32 GB yet, maybe we will see another 32 GB upgrade at later date a la Nexus 7.

I'm really hating these leaks. It ruins the excitement. I'm gonna watch the event knowing everything and have nothing to be excited about since I expected it.
Especially Wireless Charging. Last year, Google did a good job keeping tbw Galaxy Nexus Pretty secretive(at least to me since I never fully saw it clearly. Just the pogo side.

I've never used wireless charging before. Are the charging stations universal? Like I wouldn't have to buy new ones for each new phone I buy in the future? Does this also mean I should buy a couple of the old palm ones while they're still cheap? I for one am really excited for wireless charging.

Hi,
Your LG nexus is fine. The internal hardware is built to resist water and a few other dust particles. The flickering you experienced was only because the water was in the way. However keep your phone away from fire, oil based lotions and dropping. Enjoy your Nexus.

You can barely even get a GS4 on T-Mobile. Me and my buddy tried every store in San Antonio. All out for weeks or more. I then rubbed in how Sprint was awesome

I was contemplating leaving Sprint, BUT LTE is going up all over the place here and depending on signal strength I get great LTE speeds.

Okay, even if the T-Mobile variant is unlocked, most people will have a locked bootloader on their S4. Sprint's still the minority.
Update: *The T-Mobile Galaxy S4 currently has an unlocked bootloader, contrary to the company's statement to The Verge, we have reached out for more information. Thanks to François Simond and Justin Case for the correction.

Hopefully the AT&T/Verizon variants will be as easy to unlock as the S3 was on Verizon. It didn't seem to take too long for the S3/Note 2 to have their bootloader unlocked.
S4 on Sprint so far.
Hey there... about Sprint:
Was pretty happy with picking up my S4 from Sprint.
Went to check it out on the second day of sales. They said, "Oh, we just sold the last one a couple hours ago."
I was all like, "Oh crap, and I wasn't going to come at all because I thought they would be sold out."
The guy said, "We will have more tomorrow"
So I came back the next day and got one!

This is what is confusing to me. If it is 100% up to the carriers (like everyone keeps saying) on whether a device is locked or not than how come they lock one device and not the other? Things that make you go Hmmmm.

Lol yes, I had to use the 3310 for a day after my S3's battery died halfway across the country on a sunday. It worked fine for the way it was intended, but I had to check the train times on the internet... Needless to say that didn't go so well :laugh:

Its really weird how the technology has advanced but we are still really not advancing in terms of battery life. They should focus on greater battery life than having ridiculous amounts of power!

Oh, no, I meant it literally died. :laugh: As in, needed to be replaced. But all the shops are closed on a sunday.
Battery life actually seems to be decreasing, with companies using smaller batteries than a few years ago. Really makes no sense whatsoever... My Note 3 does about 22 days in deep sleep, and has an average screen-on time of 12 hours. My tablet recently managed to drop to 35% after 51 days. Newer devices are lucky if they even manage to make it to the end of the day.

Haha... Yes it's possible. But generally if somebody touches my fingers/hands during sleep I'd notice it. Being asleep without anybody even touching you and getting in your phone is definitely not ideal. I use lockdown mode if really needed, but looking forward to the fix.

why would you be sleeping in the same house with someone who may have malicious intent in unlocking your phone?
i thinks thats the more serious question to ask....
For me, I hope the December update fixes my data connection issues I've been having since the November update. Also to fix the overlapping icons (as seen in the screenshot) when in fullscreen mode like Android Auto and playing media that's Motion Sense capable.

...dorm,army barracks etc. Everyone has a different life.
I found this little bit interesting. Looks like the 3 device update variations are grouped differently than last month. Still wondering if it's only modem or others differences. Lol

Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL will start receiving the update next week, and Google has laid out what carriers each of the three builds will correspond to:
T-Mobile, Fi, EMEIA: QQ1B.191205.011
Japan & Taiwan: QQ1C.191205.016.A1
All other carriers: QQ1B.191205.012.A1

What data connection issues? I've been having some of my own but I'm trying to see if it's something I did or what

So you've been having similar connection issues as I described in the other thread?

Yeah I'd say so. Mobile data keeps going to 3G and sometimes drops completely, coming from a Pixel 3a XL that gave me no issues this is pretty weird (and disappointing if it's because of the November update)

Yeah sounds the same. You can even see the 3G for me too in my earlier screenshot. Data was just fine out of the box and with my Pixel 2 XL.

I guess everyone has their own security risks
I hope this actually is true and the december update fixes the BT mic issues.

google actually stated in an email it would all be released dec 5,
but they also stated ALL device images would be up dec 5, without them even looking at their own site to see,
wow they are stupid

Haha... Yes it's possible. But generally if somebody touches my fingers/hands during sleep I'd notice it. Being asleep without anybody even touching you and getting in your phone is definitely not ideal. I use lockdown mode if really needed, but looking forward to the fix.

If you're in danger of someone sneaking in when you're sleeping to unlock your phone you have better things to worry about than face Unlock
Just kidding I get that it's a flaw.
