LG Nexus Will Launch On October 29

This below Information came from french publication Le Figaro.

Is this a sign of a sense of fairness to Google, anxious not to offend builders chose its Android operating system? Its next smartphone, the Nexus 4, this year will be manufactured by LG. The South Korean group succeeds compatriot Samsung, Google partner for the Nexus S (2011) and the Galaxy Nexus (2012), and Taiwan's HTC, which had produced the first Nexus (Nexus One, in 2010).

Like the three previous models of the Nexus, Nexus 4 is the result of a collaboration between Google and its partner. For Google, the Nexus should be the benchmark for other manufacturers of Android smartphones. Nexus 4 is actually based on one of the latest models of LG Optimus G. It should include a high definition display, an 8 megapixel camera, a Qualcomm S4 Pro and a wireless charging, as the latest Nokia Lumia 920, according to the website MoDaCo .

Samsung remains an important partner

Nexus 4 will be launched on October 29, told Le Figaro. In France, it will be marketed in early December. It might help LG to boost its sales. After a lackluster 2011, the South Korean manufacturer is already ironed occasionally above the 5% market share in some countries, including France, thanks to the L-range of smartphones released this year (L3, L5, L7 and L9), according to GfK data weekly. LG also plans to focus on its range of Android phones.The Korean does not launch new Windows 8 for now.

Range of smartphones Nexus, however, have never been major commercial successes. During the trial against Apple, Samsung said that Galaxy Nexus sales remained " tiny "in the United States. Without Nexus, Samsung remains an important partner for Google, since it is he who will produce its future high-end tablet . The first tablet model from Google, the Nexus 7, is itself produced by Asus.

Lastly there is some disappointing information,regarding the internal storage.It is being said that phone has only 8 GB of Internal storage and just like previous Nexus device there is no microSD card slot.If true,it will be an absolute poor decision on Google/LG's part.8 GB is too less for handset,that otherwise sports top notch specifications We honestly doubt Google/LG will ship the phone with so little memory and think this specification could be changed by the time the phone is announced.

Leaked:This is The LG Nexus(Optimus Nexus)

Android Fans have waited months to know about the next Nexus Device and we have been hearing rumors that the manufacturer of next Nexus will be the another korean Giant LG ,but nothing was for sure.However this time a set of photos have been posted at the XDA forums and one thing which is common in these picture is that they have LG logo on them










































Specifications

1. The device is running Android 4.1.2 and the phone is manufactured by LG
2. The codename of the phone is MAKO and the labels on the phone indicates a model number E960
3. The sleek shape with a completely flat back that has these crystal-like pattern inside that gradually becomes more pronounced as you go down the back of the phone
4. The phone has onscreen buttons.
5. The side bezel looks identical to that of the Optimus G and all indications so far have been that the LG Nexus will simply be a stock Google version of that phone. So this adds up.
6. The headphone jack has also been moved to the top
7. Allegedly phone has an S4 pro quad core processor and also allegedly has wireless charging

Signs point to an announcement as soon as late October, so we won't have long to wait to find out whether LG's finally getting a shot at the Nexus program.

Google Nexus 7 !!

With a capable quad-core processor, an excellent display, and an affordable price, the Google Nexus 7provides great value in a compact 7-inch package. It's also running the latest version of Android, Jelly Bean, which brings a smooth and, dare we say, "buttery" user experience. 

Install Adobe Flash
One of the major differences between Apple's iOS and Android used to be the latter's support for Flash. Unfortunately, it's no longer the case--Adobe is stopping development of Flash on Android mobile browsers and there's no official Flash support on Jelly Bean, too. This means that you won't be able to find it on the Google Play store while using the Nexus 7.

However, you can download the Flash apk from XDA Developers and install the app manually. Do note that you'll first have to go to Settings > Security and check "Unknown sources" before you can install the apk.

Since the preloaded Chrome browser on the Nexus 7 doesn't support Flash, you'll also need to install a compatible browser, such as Firefox Beta. 

Unlock the screen rotation
By default, the screen of the Nexus 7 is locked into portrait mode, which is probably most appropriate for its 7-inch form factor. The screen orientation does change to the landscape mode in games. However, if you prefer the screen to rotate with the tablet orientation, you can unlock it just by pulling down the notification bar and clicking on the Lock icon beside Settings.

Add a camera launcher
Due to cost constraints, the Nexus 7 lacks a rear shooter--it only has a front-facing 1.2MP camera that's intended for video calls. As a result, there's no camera app on the Nexus 7. You can, however, add a camera launcher icon to the tablet--simply install the Camera Launcher for Nexus 7 from MoDaCo.

The camera icon appears after you install the app.

It would be quite awkward taking pictures with the front-facing camera, but it's a workaround if you really need the functionality.

Take screenshots

Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) finally added the ability to take screenshots within the OS and this feature is present on the Nexus 7. To capture what's on the screen, just hold the power and volume down buttons together for a couple of seconds. You'll get both visual and audio cues to tell you that the screenshot has been successfully taken. You can then open and view the screenshot immediately from the Notification bar.

Turn it into an e-book reader
The Nexus 7 isn't as light and thin as E Ink-based readers, such as the Amazon Kindle and the Nook. But compared with 10-inch tablets, it's handy enough to serve as a pretty good e-book reader--you can hold it with one hand for hours. It doesn't come close to the Kindle in terms of battery life, but at around 9 hours, it's relatively good for a tablet. Besides, you'll be able to view books and magazines in full color on the Nexus 7, something which you can't do on the Kindle.

There are quite a few e-book apps in Google Play, but our favorite is Aldiko Book Reader, which supports a variety of e-book formats. Catalogs to free book sources are also included in the app. Of course, if you have already built a library around one of the major e-book platforms, you can likely find the Android apps for them on Google Play, too. For instance, Amazon provides a Kindle app that is able to sync your e-books across multiple devices.

Bring your maps with you
Google Maps now has an offline mode, which allows users to grab maps while their devices are connected to the Internet. It's as simple as opening the Maps app and selecting "Make available offline" from the options.

Connect the Nexus 7 to USB storage devices
With just 8GB of internal storage on the base model, you may find yourself having to ration the content you load on the Nexus 7. The good news is that with the right app and an inexpensive cable, you will be able to connect the tablet to an external USB storage device such as flash drives and SD cards.

First, you'll need a USB OTG (On-The-Go) cable, which can be bought cheaply from online retailers such as Amazon or DealExtreme. This cable connects the micro-USB port on one end and has a normal-sized USB port on the other hand, where you can plug in a USB storage device.

Next, you'll need to get the Nexus Media Importer app from HomeySoft, which allows the Nexus 7 to view and copy files from the attached device. Note that it doesn't work the other way round--you can't copy files from the Nexus 7 to the external storage device. While the app should work with most USB storage devices (as long as it's formatted as FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS), there's no guarantee. We recommend that you try the app first with your USB devices--the app isn't free, but Google Play allows full refunds within 15 minutes of purchase.

Of course, if you're open to rooting your Nexus 7, you can do this without paying for an app. There are many guides out there on how to root the Nexus 7, including this version by CNET UK.
