I just can't get my head around the iTunes and App Store icons. They just look wrong. The app label font looks way too thin too, likes it's lazily put there, and might even be hard to read in certain situations.

Then you must not be using the stock launcher.

This is stock N4. Not even rooted. Same thing is available on Galaxy Nexus with 4.2+.

You CAN remove apps from the launcher, just not the home screen Just open the list of apps, press and hold on one, and drag it to the uninstall trash can.

I'm not sure I buy what Google is selling on this one. It certainly wouldn't be the first time a complicated feature had some battery issues when it left the shop. That happens. I think I've seen some battery drain from it, personally, but I'd love some statistics to back it up with. Does anyone know of an app for…

I buy them yearly. Unlocked, full cost. I love my smartphones, and I have the spare cash. I know it's definitely not the frugal thing to do, but it's pretty much my one weakness. That and tablets.

I've just downloaded it and ran it, I'm having the same issues. It used up a nice chunk of my battery on my Nexus 4. It's too bad, because the app really is quite awesome.

I've replaced my Galaxy Nexus with a Nexus 4, so I can't be of too much help, but if you want to get back to stock the absolute easiest and best way in my opinion is the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit from XDA. I owned a GSM Nexus, but it looks like it works with the one from Sprint.

I'm not exactly sure how a Nexus 4 is older or from a different paradigm. In many ways, it's ahead of the curve. (NFC, Wireless Charging, Photo Sphere, AWS LTE might become very relevant soon, Android 4.2 is top notch, Cloud Integration).

I beg to differ. The Nexus phones are some of the top all around phones each year when released. The Nexus Q was a top of the line device, albeit one that fell to too little capability at too little price, but that's more of a management misstep than a sign they cannot make a device and software.

Android 4.2 has native support for QR codes that ships with the Google Now portion of the OS. Simply go to the Google Now app and either A) Hit the settings button and then "Search with Camera" or B) Say "Scan a Barcode". The resulting camera search supports QR codes. #corrections

It was added in iOS 6 Beta 2ish (I think?) Definitely an early iOS 6 Beta, I remember it being added.

Definitely. All it would require is a software update (right now the default option is to not use LTE, they can change that with a simple update, and those who have already changed the setting would see it work immediately). They also should be able to enable support for Bands 1 and 2 in addition to the Band 4 (AWS)…

I would just like to point out that LTE is working on one band at the moment (Band 4, AWS, the one T-Mobile plans on using), and what I've read suggests it would be possible for 2 additional bands to be deployed via software update.

It's a matter of coverage, at least for the moment. There is HSPA+ where there is no LTE and no HSPA+ where there is LTE for some people. It depends where you live, and where you use the device. That's part of it. For people living in areas not covered by HSPA+ (Just outside of where I live is pretty much Verizon…

Problem is, there's very very very little difference between iPad 3 and iPad "4". It's really just the bottom connector (arguably the reason they did this) and the processor (still a dual core, A6X instead of A5X, same exact graphics chip). Why would anyone not buy the iPad 3 over the iPad 4 for $100 cheaper? I think…

I'd assume so. I can't imagine that the new iPad would take 12W either, but I can't say for sure with the odd as heck release cycle the iPad is in right now. I haven't heard of the 12W shipping with the new iPad 3.1/iPad 4/newer iPad whatever you want to call it.
