Just wondering since iOS 7 is now being released as a 64 bit operating system, whether they are playing catch up to android or whether they are taking a step ahead... not that it makes too much difference I guess, but just interested
Pretty sure it is 32 bit. Is 64 bit really even needed on a phone?

I know this is stupid. But since I saw Microsoft surface tablet feature the same tegra processor. Would it be possible for our nexus 7 to run window rt or window 8 pro too?
Just a curious thought.!

Been discussed in multiple threads. RT could theoretically work, assuming that someone put a substantial amount of time and effort into it and wasn't worried about potential legal repercussions. Win 8 is not designed to run on ARM processors.

Right now the max ram I have free is about ~400, I'm wondering if I can get up to ~600!!?
My ROM is smooth ROM and faux kernel... Any suggestions?

more ram
i get 522 - 550 by using dx toolbox.
what is the advantage of having 600mb free ram??
I have a nexus 4, which if you know has 2 gbs of ram. Never runs out although my nexus 7's ram drops quickly. More ram means snappier system... Just wanted suggestions on this

Android manages memory differently than a computer. An oft repeated mantra that holds true in this case is ”free ram is wasted ram.” Killing processes simply for the sake of increasing free ram is counterintuitive and only serves to reduce system efficiency.

Back in there day, there used to be a company that you could send your device to, they would desolder your memory and throw in a bigger/faster chip.
Dont know if they still do or the name.

Honestly 2 GB should be mandatory. Its what a couple extra dollars to the consumers...

This is correct. You are wasting your time worrying about whether you have 400 or 600 MB free. If you are completely running out and experiencing huge lags, then it's time to worry.
I upgraded from the galaxy nexus to the g2 and what I can't figure out is what is using all the ran on the g2 I have the same apps on the g2 as I did on my gnex but on the g2 uses almost a gig of ram where as the gnex only used half of that with all the same apps the only difference is the ROM and kernel could it be one of them using all the ram
i can see many more differences between these two devices lol. resolution being the most obvious one.
ill try explain with an example. u have a small house and feel comfortable there. then on top of that u build a 4x bigger house. and you would still live only in the small house. wouldnt it be better to use parts of the bigger house aswell ?
and not only the house grew but you as well.

That's what I sorta figured
Thanks
That's what I sorta figured just wasn't sure
Thanks
yeah, nothing to worry about. 1gb used ram is pretty standard now.

The LG has 2GB of RAM, if your device uses 1.9GB, then start worrying. If it uses only half or 1.5GB, it is a good thing.
U know,g2 has a much better gpu,processor and resolution etc and does and handles everything better(while sacrificing ram usage)

Hi people
Ive been using nexus for a year now.
And it is the best device I ever used.
However Im getting bored of this phone a bit >< and I thought of moving on.
Do you guys have any devices you are looking forward to?
P.s. Hows xperia z compared to our nexus 4?
Display and camera seems better but Im not sure for other stuff

LG G Flex
Note 3 is amazing. It would be a dream in Google edition.

Off topic: Can you please share with us what makes you bored about this phone?
If you just want a faster device with higher resolution I would suggest LG G2/N5.

Be aware that LG ponies never see more than one update. Even the flagship device.

I feel like everything is a little "undercooked" now.
64bit CPU's are on the way.
4K Displays are in the discussion while the GPU's would still not be powerful enough to drive games on them in a serious way.
Nvidia and Qualcomm start adding new GPU features like Desktop Open Gl, Tesselation. Meanwhile Snapdragon's OpenGl Es 3.0 drivers are still broken and unusable.
Intel wants to enter the ARM market and could bring some really good CPU's.
It is time for the manufacturing tech to go below 28nm, which has been used for quite a while and is still used in Snapdragon 805 and Tegra K1. It could save some serious Watts.
The HEVC/H265 video codec is on the way, and until now only the Snapdragon 805 can handle it.
The European GPS System Galileo is supposed to start this year, yet none of the phones features support for it.
And then there is always the simple truth that the Nexus 4 is still incredibly powerful and fast.
You could argue, that tech always develops incredibly fast, but I will wait and see how it works out until 2015.
I made myself a list of "must have" features, before I buy a new phone again.

Umm I guess I just want to try new phones. Nexus 4 is still powerful and fulfills my needs but I want to experience other new phones in the market

Hi guys,
We knw that a nexus 4 with 16gb has only 12 gb user usable memory. After almost 6 mnths with my nexus 4 i admit 12 gb is not enough. I had read in some forums about repartioning the internal memory.i just want to know if there is a way to repartion nexus 4 such that we can atleast get 14 gb useable memory and spare rest for OS.

There's no way an average user can do that. And for some one very advanced it'll probably brick the device. So, to answer your question, no

With no expandable memory I think ur only choise is cloud storage.
