[Q] Android 4.3 Windows 8.1 - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't seem to get 4.3 on my Nexus 4. I was reading that it won't work on Windows 8.1. Is this true?

Yes. The new windows has issues with android. This is the reason alot of people are not updating to the OS

My nexus 4 works fine with Windows 8.1 (Blue) but my nexus 7 doesn't work most of the time. Meaning it's not recognized past the USB insert sound.

Will these also work without ruining the Samsung Nexus 10 drivers?

I uninstalled my Samsung drivers and installed the Universal Naked Drivers.
When I plug in my Nexus 4, in Device Manager under Portable Devices it says Nexus 4 and under Samsung Android Phone it says Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface.
When I plug in my Nexus 10, in Device Manager under Portable Devices it says Nexus 10 and under Samsung Android Phone it says Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface.
Why is the heading still called Samsung Android Phone for both devices?
Why does it say Google Nexus 4 ADB Interface when the Nexus 10 is plugged in?

Bluetooth Mouse Issues

I ordered a Speedlink bluetooth mouse of ebay and it works perfectly with my Nexus 7 but nothing with my Nexus 4.
It connects and pairs but doesn't show a cursor or do anything with the phone.
Nexus 4 running stock and rooted 4.2.2
Nexus 7 running stock and rooted 4.2.1
Any advice?
Thanks.
Maybe downgrade your nexus 4 to 4.2.1?

Can anyone confirm that they have a mouse which works with the Nexus 4?
I wonder if the level of Android actually is the issue. l also have a speedlink mouse. On 4.2.1 it worked fine with my Nexus 7, as with yours. Now on 4.2.2 it won't connect, and your Nexus 4 is on 4.2.2. It might be that the Android level, rather than the device, may be the issue.

It does seem odd and an unlikely coincidence. I wonder why this functionality was stripped out.
Has anyone got any sort of bluetooth mouse to work with 4.2.2?

Says everything in the title! It would be pretty cool to get another OS running on this tablet.

yes right away!
This tablet can already run like 4 different operating systems. So it shouldn't be too hard.

[Q] Nexus 4 not showing in ADM

For some reason the Android Device Manager is not showing my Nexus 4 as one of my devices. The only device listed is my Nexus 10, anyone have any idea why my Nexus 4 is not showing up on the webpage?

Nexus 7 and Android Auto

Has anyone attempted to port Android Auto to the nexus 7? Considering how great the n7 is as an in-dash unit, this would really enhance the experience.

Android Auto
Android Auto is in Android L.
Your phone needs to have Android L on it, which will then produce the screen for your car.
I too, am looking at using the Nexus 7 (or 9) as the dash for my car.
It does look possible as it is mentioned in the Android Auto Developer website, as possible.
We need to wait for the Android Auto SDK in order to do this.
When Android L is released (which should be this month), I imagine that is when the SDK will be released, and many people will be posting how to use your Nexus 7 as the Android Auto screen for your car!
