googy plz.
So basically, the play store event was the event. 24hrs for media to sort their shit together and then publish?
I WANTS IT.
Let me help you with the responses:
I want something like this just as an app though, or just in the app drawer. Aviate takes over the whole phone, this is for the lockscreen. How about just a widget that I can put on half my main screen and let it change based on location. But the other half stays constant with what I want. Is there something like that?
Google Now?

Uh, the Nexus 4 LTE is.... real?!
https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=21721
That's the model number of the LG Nexus 4, and the descriptor says LTE mobile phone. Obviously, the original N4 went through Bluetooth certification last year, and this was filed today.

Having a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 5 make sense to me.
Phones
Nexus 4
Nexus 5
Tablets
Nexus 7
Nexus 10
Where did that rumour come from? Was there any other information given with it?
How does that change apps based on location? It shows cards with info, but I meant auto sort/group apps based on location/activity.
The main problem I have using those replacement launchers like Aviate and Themer is that although it does make your phone look nice, it makes the Android design really inconsistent. Like you're looking at a nice white homescreen with large buttons, nice looking pictures such as:
but then you open the app drawer and it's all in a Holo Dark theme totally different from your homescreen. And even if you change the app drawer to make it looks more like the homescreen, you still have other things that follow the current Holo Dark theme Android has going such as the notification shade and the settings.
It's really inconsistent and really detaches from the experience, in my opinion.

Wait, but the model number is exactly the same. So that means not a new model but the old one will get LTE support or what? That should be impossible though.
The components for LTE are in the original model, no? Just that Google locked it out because it wasn't certified or something?
Nexus 4 LTE will be Nexus 5

Looks like only pricing. One I saw said the Nexus 5 would be $400/$450 for 16/32GB, Nexus 4 would be $300/$350 for 8/16GB.
Doubt that's right though since the Google Play leak showed the Nexus 5 for $350.

This is the source of the Nexus 4 LTE rumor: http://www.android.gs/nexus-5-price-to-be-399-because-of-nexus-4-lte-launch-says-insider/
Everyone laughed it off, but this Bluetooth filing is a smoking gun if I've ever seen one.
This is the original filing for the Nexus 4 from last year: https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=20044
It was later certified for Bluetooth 4 in May 2013: https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/QLI_viewQDL.cfm?qid=20845
So, this new filing is a THIRD filing for a phone with the same model number as the Nexus 4, which suggests it is an LTE variant.
Yeah but I thought it was a gimped chip that didn't support all the necessary bands?

I thought that too...
Vyse The Legend

Indeed. It only supports one band. If Google was just going to enable that one band, it wouldn't need to go through Bluetooth certification again, only the FCC.
I felt the exact way after trying buzz and aviate launcher. It may look all fancy and nice but the consistency is gone. That's why i went back to good ol' Nova.
We who already own an N4 should get a free replacement if this happens

So is kitkat coming out before the nexus 5 then? I thought it was simultaneous?

It'll be simultaneous.
Also, all the major, good android blogs, are running with MobileSyrup's Oct 31st rumor -- even the most skeptical ones.
Also, Paul O'Brien, of Modaco mod fame, tweeted this:

How exciting to think that (if all goes as per 'the plan'), this time next week, we could be getting our Nexus 5s!
Notice he said "getting," meaning they will have shipped to our houses by then.
Someone asked him if he knew something, and he said:
It sounds like announcement and launch all next week.
Finally, this dev tweeted at him, and said he should be excited, because the phone is excellent:

Ah, ok. The couple posts about saturday had me confused and didn't want to miss it.
I have a feeling the press already got their hands on the phone and we will get reviews on both kitkat and the phone the day of.
I think that's how they did it last year but their event was canceled by Idris Elba, and all we got was media info.
So they are going to have an event but it will only be for show? The media will have already seen the devices and software update? Is that what you're suggesting?
I'm confused.
Not sure if this is the right place to ask for help but I need help lol. My htc one battery has been draining faster than usual so I looked at my battery usuage and I noticed the android system has been using up most of the power, between 70% and 95% any ideas how to fix this problem
Ahhhhh. You need to put those pictures in a quote box so you're not killing us desktop people. (What a sad state of affairs when a 24" monitor gets destroyed by a phone screen shot)
I'd just try rebooting the phone. Perhaps a glitch just got the phone stuck in a wakelock. Also I don't see the display listed as consuming power. Does HTC just wrap the display power into Android System? If so that graph would be normal.

I'm just glad everything seems to be coming together for a launch next week. Super psyched.
I agree with rebooting the phone. That's not normal for an htc one at all.

Matias should bow five times and when he stands up after the fifth time he should be holding the N5

Samsung getting their S in Gear (& Note)
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...or-the-galaxy-s4-s4-active-s-iii-and-note-ii/
Yes. Because when the the 4 was announced (10/29) the Verge had a preview video up on their site: http://www.theverge.com/2012/10/29/3569540/google-nexus-4-preview-price-release-date
There was no event as Sandy was going to hit NYC pretty hard. The media already had their hands on the device prior to this happening.
Still way too limited.
I uninstalled it because I never received an email from them to activate the damn thing. The persistent icon bothered the heck out of me, and I could not remove it as I didn't have access to the apps settings without them sending me that email.
OH well.
But it's so user friendly and smooth
Oops my bad. I tried rebooting but nothing happens, tmobile told me to factory reset but don't want to do that..
Sometimes factory resets can do wonders. Have you had the battery fully discharge lately?
I actually replaced viber with bbm. The ui isnt quite to android guidelines (and honestly not quite to ios guidelines either) but it works and is smooth.
Apparently the persistent icon is due to blackberry refusing to use GCM for push notifications (and google now mandates that all apps that run in the background have an icon in the notification bar unless they use GCM)

The same odds as me hooking up with Miranda Kerr tonight, getting her pregnant, mooching off her for the rest of my life, and my penis turning into solid gold for no reason whatsoever.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Don't you actually need other people to use bbm or vibr? The reason I use what I do is because people actually use it.
