My understanding is that doing that to modern batteries these days is bad for its health?
I dont know TBH, Im happy to accept that though. I will say I never let it run till it stopped, just till it was low. It seemed to help.

I remember you saying how well the display was after seeing the N4 in a store. I thought that was kind of odd since to me my 4S seems much brighter and more vivid. I do think my N4 has a nice display though; once I get used to looking at it and adjusting it. Unfortunately it only seems to come close to my 4S when I crank it the display up to at least 50%--which hurts the already marginal battery life.I got my Nexus 4 today. The first thing I noticed is that the colors/saturation and contrast/gamma are horrible. Everything looks very bright and washed out, and blue looks almost purple because of it. I didn't notice that on the one I played with at the store, but it was brightly lit and I didn't spend much time on it.
Now I understand what people are complaining about with it being washed out. It doesn't even look good compared to my iPhone 4S, which looks bad compared to newer IPS screens like the iPhone 5 and the One X. Also, this one is yellow tinted when viewed from straight on. If I tilt it to the right, it becomes whiter. When tilted to the left it stays yellow.
I love the phone otherwise, so I don't know what to do. I'm not interested in rooting and using custom ROMs and kernels, and it looks like that is the only option to correct the colors and gamma, but that won't fix the yellow tint.

Of course in my case I really like the amoled display on my Note 2, which you also do not like. (If I am confusing you with someone else, my apologies.)

Anyone else's Nexus 4 get pretty hot when in use for more than 1 minute or two?
Also - how do I enable "push" email data (I think it's "sync" on here, but all my email accounts say its off with no option to turn it on).
I use K9 email for this reason. Could never get push to work with stock Android email app.
Can anyone help me out. I remember reading a post that someone managed to change between lock screens - ie a different lock screen at home and a different one at work.
I want to do this, I want to turn off my screen ( without power button ) and the screen goes off. But when I use the power button for example, it will require a pattern or lock to unlock.
Its easy, when in app, tap the bottom right corner ( the dots ) to show the options/settings then click Sync options then click Check Frequency then click Push.
The option for push is never available for any of my email accounts in the stock app. So I switched to K9 and push works on all of them.
Does anyone have a good email app for non-Gmail accounts other than the god awful stock email app? I'm tired of being super-zoomed into every email I get and not being able to zoom out of it.
See above posts.....
K9 is pretty nice - I'm liking it so far.
Nope, same problem. I don't understand why emails have to be super zoomed in when you open them. You can read a damn thing when the only thing you can see is the top left corner.

It's not 4.2.2 but it's an update with bug fixes, including better battery management.
Hurry and release it google!

Using K9 anyways because I like to have ONE email app where I get my mail, not two (stock email + gmail app were both giving me notifications) plus I like the customization and UI better on K9.

Is now a bad time to buy the nexus 4?
I have been wanting to try a nexus phone for a while and I am planning on selling my wifes 4S, giving her my iPhone 5 and buying a Nexus 4 to use for myself. The Nexus still seems like it is a new enough device to give me a good android experience but I don't want to get in too late either.
I don't see why you can't create a Push option for the stock mail app. Its under settings in the Check frequency option of Sync Options.
Anyway this is what I recommend doing, it will also save your battery as you wont have multiple emails syncing and you get a nice app with gestures too.
Forward all your emails from your old email, lets say mac@hotmail.com to your gmail account.
Go into your gmail account (in a browser) under Settings and then go to Accounts.
Add another email address and save.
A email will be sent to your address mac@hotmail.com address requesting permission to send emails from your gmail as if it was sent from mac@hotmail.com
Sync only the gmail app.
Now everytime you reply or create a new email you will have a drop down option to select which email it is From ala K9 style but a much improved app.
