I've had a look and can only really find them for iphone
Really want to be able to connect to a flexible tripod so i can connect on to loads of things. Would be a really useful accessory.

Would be cool but, can't find any for this size device. I had one for my prior phones...
Here is what I do for my various devices... I use the RAM mounting system. I have a couple of different length arms, and bases for truck, boat, golf cart, etc. I have cradles for my, Nexus 7, Garmin, and iPhone, but for my Nexus 4 I am using the new XGrip universal which I quite like (since getting it, it is the only cradle I use anymore).
If you use this system you can get a threaded 1 inch ball with standard (1/4-20) threads for a couple of bucks and screw it to any standard tripod.
Any update on this? i really wanted a simply (pretty cheap) mount that i could use with the groillapod tripod. don't wanna spend a lot of money since i would only be using it for golf practice every once in while. Thanks!
Does anyone know a way to go about making a cheap tripod for a N4? I have a photography project due in 2 days and I need to produce some good photospheres and panoramas..
I just need a way to keep this thing sturdy while retaining movement. Holding it in my hand just doesn't cut it anymore.

There's this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150967108817 but the axis of rotation is the centre of the phone, not the centre of the lens, might not produce seamless photospheres ...
Mount it upside down in one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B002L4QCVE might not be so far off-centre

Hi
I like the look of the x grip.. I watched the youtube video linekd to and it looks great.
I know almost nothing about tripods.
The user "solutions et" mentions something about a one inch threaded ball. I have no idea what this is.. Where to get it?
What budget tripods can I get that will support the Xgrip?
Do I need to get 3 items.. The tripod, something in between, and an Xgrip?
I want to make sure they're all compatible and I don't know how.
Would appreciate any advice on that.
Thanks
You actually need 4 parts... the X-grip, a one inch ball with 1/4-20 thread to mount to the tripod's screw, an arm to interconnect the ball on the tripod to the ball on the X-grip, and of course a tripod.
Arms are available in lengths from 2.5 inches to about 5 inches. Check out gpscity.com for all of the various RAM mount parts.

I read some people saying they don't like it's "clunky" look or that it's simply not as sleek as the iphone. Well I don't think it's really that bad and see it as a disguise from thieves. Who wants to steal a phone that doesn't look that sleek?
Anyways...I have very little complaints about my phone because it has everything I need in a single device....finally!
AMEN!
I used to carry around my old phone AND an iPod Touch, but I traded my iPod on craigslist for a G1 and I couldn't be happier.
Unlike a lot of people I enjoy Android much more than mobile OSX because of the more hands on and in depth modding. On the iPod all you needed to do was download a package and BAM there it was, new feature.
I also like the fact that the G1 is unique, ugly but unique. It seems like half the world's population owns an iPhone.
And yet there are a hundred themes and out home replacement apps that try and replicate the iPhone look. Why the infatuation? The iphone is pretty inferior if you ask me. The it took the second iteration to support 3G. And now the third supports MMS, video, and copy paste. Then they have the balls to tout these features as new and cutting edge. My razr had 3G when iPhone one came out. Come on apple. This sums it up pretty well I think.

I think it's easy for us to forget that Apple's in the fashion industry.
I don't hate the iphone but I do find it funny how everyon brags about it. Up until now I wasn't able to find something that beats. In most every way. I do wish my phone had a regular headphone jack simply so I could charge it AND plug my headphones in but I think there is a workaround with an adapter. Other than that I don't think I could be happier
I don't like the feel of iphonies... they're the wrong shape and dont fit in your hand right. Too wide makes it difficult to reach parts of the screen with your thumb when holding it in one hand.
So I just got bored tonight and decided to see what the internals of the hero were like. idk if you have ever seen an iphone inside or an ipod touch but they have everything super compact in there... well the hero (htc) really failed at that. there is about 1/5th of an inch of empty space only filled by the battery and camera. as well as a couple antenna's. I'm a little bummed that they didn't use the space that well, seems half-assed.
Did you notice how the power and talk keys are secured in? There is a little plastic rod that was melted down which goes through a loop molded as a part of those buttons, making it almost impossible to remove them. Completely insane. The rest of the phone is surprisingly simple to disassemble.
yeah it took about 5 minutes to get every part separated.. I also cleaned my trackball (took it out) and that required some crafty fingers. and yes I did see that, im kinda glad it was that simple

If you have to remove the digitizer for any reason be VERY careful. The ribbon cable is easy to crack and the digitizer itself is very fragile. It takes about 10 minutes of careful prying at the edges to loosen the glue enough that you can pull it out.
Personally, I'm very happy with the simplicity of this phone's design. It makes repairs much easier! I agree that HTC could have used the space a bit more efficiently and slimmed the phone down a little though.
Any chance you can post some pictures..
I am not brave enough to open mine. But always interested to see the insides if somebody would be willing to post.
seen a few iphone tear-downs
I usually take pics w/ the phone... but I'll see what I can do.
when i said half assed, I just meant their space management thats all
Perhaps that space could be used to house a full size SD card and give our phones 32GB at a reasonable price.

Not sure what I think
EDIT: posted in wrong forum *sigh* Mods feel free to do what you wish
I think it is an underpowered netbook.
Looks ok but I think I will stick to my netbook.
I will stick with pure Google experience tablet ... The one without customization ... The one that will receive update directly ... The one that is BLESSED by Google!
I don't know which one, probably the XOOM ... The Motorola Android tablet.
I really can't understand the success of tablets. I see their potential as a casual browsing device, but they fill a hole between phones and computers which wasn't all that gaping. They are completely a luxury object, without the nature of practicality and necessity which phones and traditional computers have, and at the overblown price some are sold at, its a wonder they shift so many units.
But the weirdest thing, I think, is rear facing cameras on tablets. I mean, who wants to whip out a device the size of a book or larger to take a photo? And yet it seems to go unquestioned, even celebrated.

Tablet is nice ... more portable compare to laptop ... and bigger screen compare to mobile phone.
I need one and I need one now
Because I can see me using it in the couch ... bed ... sofa ... etc.
And yes, I don't need rear camera .... and give me WIFI only ...
No wifi only = no deal ...

Hi!
I will use Nexus 4 for video chat and recording a video (sometimes). I am looking for a vertical kickstand case.
Vertical kickstand:

I used PureGear Hard Shell Case with Kickstand for my Gnex, and I loved it because I don't have to hold the phone for using video chat, and it just stands for recording a video (I do few silly stunts).
Why vertical? I use facetime/talk all time. It has to be vertical stand because horizontal stand will not work on facetime/talk because it would be too wierd for my friends turning their head to see me. lol
Is there a vertical kickstand case for Nexus 4?
Thank you so much!
Also looking for this or any know kickstand for the N4...
Seidio's kickstand case is in the works. Not sure when that will happen though. I can wait I always get the Active case/holster combo with my devices. Great for travel IMO.
I ordered this (ebayitem.com/350674511348) case on ebay. The photos appear to be of a real case and phone, rather than a mock-up. Once I receive it on 01/02, I'll post a brief review here.
(I actually ordered (ebayitem.com/160944505505) what appears to be an identical product at a slightly reduced price)
(Can't yet post direct links... sigh)

An update: I received the case, which is made of two parts (hard and soft). The softer part has a very strong vinyl smell which I am working to eliminate. The case fits well and is relatively light, though it adds plenty of bulk (and, I presume, protection commensurate with the extra material).
In other news, the touchscreen on my Nexus 4 gave out and I'm in the process of receiving a replacement. When I receive it, I'll post the review!
Has anyone come across a good Nexus 4 tripod mount?
I've seen one online, but its tiny, if anyone has or knows of a tripod mount that does also produce good photospheres for the Nexus 4, please let me know. :good:

Looks dangerous. Here on XDA we already had a user reporting in about a damaged headphone port. The headphone port wasn't designed to hold the weight of the phone.

Works great on N4 with case, also it comes with a small handheld tripod/handle thing, but that detaches and it has a standard tripod mount for your own full size tripod.
Depending on your head (ie. ball / tilt) might work really well for 360" photospheres. Personally I find a tripod is not necessary: it gets in the way for the downwards facing images, it takes a while to get exactly level for the horizon in all directions.
Also for best photospheres, the phone should be held in vertical position, this will avoid black spots facing down and straight up.
I've done all these handheld :
