Why do you want to use a crappy news app anyway when you can get apps like pulse.

Thanks, I'll check out pulse

Google Now can also do News updates & I think it can alert you.

I absolutely love my N4 not only is it fantastic, but it was a bargain too.

can't argue with that, £279 is a fantastic price....and I LOVE the screen

and I don't have to EVER use ITunes again lol

Thanks for everyones tips and advice, very helpful.

I was starting to worry for a bit I'd done the wrong thing. Hope I didn't come across as a moaning old git in my previous post.
Do love the phone itself it, what a gorgeous looking piece of kit. That screen is just something else. Just need to get my head around android.

It's been a while

Looks cool, Not for me though

I use a combination of Google music, Poweramp & MX player for my content, I don't really watch much video though mainly through youtube or the fantastic tvcatchup app if I do.

Quick question, ive searched on Google but I'm simply can't find out how to quickly mute the phone. Just thinking when I'm at work tomorrow

PS keyboard is rubbish lol

Fillado · 8 Apr 2013 at 23:35

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the side and a menu pops up. Silent/Vibrate/Ring along the bottom

glenimp617 · 8 Apr 2013 at 23:37

After reading numerous posts on forums nobody said hold the power in. Thanks

Holding volume rocker down is far quicker.

You can also get apps which to location based preferences.

put on swiftkey and use that as a keyboard. It is a go to keyboard if the stock android is not for you.

I use llama, you can then either just click the profile you want or how when you get to work it can auto silent. Top app for handling location events, not noticed a detrimental effect on my battery

Just wanting to learn as quickly as I can

Yes, I know I can drag the notification bar down, but that's the same as dragging the lock screen button up to unlock. Surely a quick glance at icons numbers is quicker than a shopping list of notifications. Sorry, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Like I said, I'm trying to learn quickly

I'm sure I read about the benefit of android was a more alive homescreen, dragging a notification bar down seems nothing like being alive

Get a copy of 'Dashclock' for the lock screen (then long press and move to the right most screen then do the same on the stock clock and remove!), it tells you how many Texts, Gmail's, Calls and (after installing any number of extensions) Facebook, Whatsapp, Twitter etc... messages you have right on the Lock screen!!

Also Get the 'Clock Plus' Daydream for when the phone is plugged in, Also tells you at a glance about Text, Gmail and Calls!!

Got my replacement N4 yesterday, obviously going to have to give it a few days before I get an immediate idea about it's battery life, right? Although it doesn't seem to have that wakelock I was banging on about ages ago.

Only other issue is now is the old one; can't seem to have any luck at all unrooting the bloody thing.

I really like Dashclock, but I wish there was a way to keep it fullscreen

looks so much better than the shrunk version.

I don't know if its a CM10.1 option or a trebuchet launcher option, but under my lock screen settings I can set it to keep all widgets maximised...

DashClock is superb, really pleased with how quickly other apps started supporting it too.

Indeed, By far the best widget for me.

Got my official bumper case yesterday and it is very nice. It is very similar to the poetic case except it has a premium feel to it. Buttons are a lot easier to operate with the case on. Also gives the phone a new look, feels like I have different phone.
