So does anyone know why the G4 didn't come with a browser? I've googled the apk file and downloaded it but when I put install it starts then after a couple seconds it fails. Anyone know why? Or how to install it?

Probably since Chrome is the gold standard AND belongs to Google. You know, like how apple shoves their lesser app down your throat (Safari).

It's because of all the Google obsessed fanboys who want their non Nexus phones to be as close to a Nexus as possible and LG catering to them by including less LG apps and more Google apps.

Nexus phones have never been good enough for me, however, I wouldn't waste my time on the half baked browsers. Google Chrome has everything I need and snycs instantly with all of my phones, tablets and laptops flawlessly.
To each there own. I personally don't need to call anyone names because I am not emotionally charged when I post.

Who am I name calling? The existence of Nexus fanboys are a real thing. Whenever geeks are involved, there will be fans and there will be fanboys. Leading up the launch of the G4, a point made about the G4 was that there would be less bloat and more Google which is why the stock LG browser no longer exists and why Chrome is the "stock" launcher.
Nexus fanboys are very vocal when it comes to putting down phones they have no intention of ever buying since it's not a Nexus anyway. You don't see them so much here since this is a phone specific forum, but elsewhere in general Android land, they are there.

I've no need to single out a group of people just because they don't meet my standards or because they act in such a way that makes me emotional.
I like to discuss technology and the caveats they present, without emotion or judgment, but rather with logic and an open mind.

I'm simply stating the obvious. And that's great that you love to discuss technology without emotion. Good for you. Nobody called you a fanboy. Nobody called anyone in this thread a fanboy. The question was raised why the stock browser was removed and I gave my opinion on the matter.
Had I said nothing, there would still be fanboys. And if you don't believe "fanboy" is a real thing then you clearly haven't been on the Internet long. Go to any gaming forum and your eyes will be open. On the Android side of things, look for any self proclaimed Samsung knight.

I know that the new xda update includes adds and other stuff, there's fine.
I was wondering, if possible can xda make a paid app without ads? I would defiantly buy it. It would be nice and xda be making money too.
Please post here if you would like that and maybe we could get one.

hey dude every time i try to log on to the APP it tells me " need administrators permission to login...? " what do i have to do?
We added an ad so that we can continue to provide the app free. Surprisingly, we have gotten a lot of messages from people willing to pay to remove the ad. So, we are considering this, perhaps with a premium version that also adds new features.
Thanks for your input!

I agree with the no ad concept for a fee.
We are constantly bombarded with ads daily from every other medium so when I see ads, I uninstall.
In this case, XDA remains on my device because this is the best forum on the net, period.

My carrier disabled third party billing to my account, but I think XDA uses a reputable source for the ads in the app (likely admob or google), who wouldn't allow someone to billl you $10 through merely clicking an ad.
But I'm sure Svetius can clarify which service generates the ads, and while it pays to be cautious, I reckon you're unlikely to get something like that as an app advert (though I am sure someone will try it some day...)

I was having trouble with the browser back button, market install loop hole so I was excited to find this.
1. clear data on browser and market
2. go to market.android.com from a PC and search for GW
3. sign in like normal
4. when the drop down shows up with your devices (all grey'd out) use chrome to phone to send that link
5. the accept and download button should pop up in the market app on your GN.
6. hit the button and the app will install even though the incompatibility error still is displayed.

Turn on airplane mode, and wifi, and just go to the Android Market and download it. There are a few ways to do it, and more than a few threads on it.

Its been a while since I did it (the same day the latest update came out).
From your phone's browser, google "google wallet". Click the corresponding result that is the android market link and when it pops up a windows to use Market or Browser to open the link, just choose Market. Press install and be done. Now if they would just get the pre-paid cards working again...
You just need to click on a direct link then then open in the market app.

The basic method is probably the same, but doing it through Chrome to Phone was much more convenient for me. Worked the first time, unlike doing it through the phone browser.

I'm not arguing that it was any better or worse. However, it would have been more efficient to use a thread already in use. It's kinda like all these battery threads we have. Why do we have so many? People either don't want to search or just feel good creating their own thread. This place could be much more efficient with some spam control.

Did you add the prepaid card on another rom? Once you switch you lose the ability tobre-add until Google fixes the issue.

Hi jonathan3579. Full credit to you for coming up with the method - thank you!
Respectfully, I would disagree with your statement that the OP's post is just clutter. The OP provides a new approach to load GW, which I appreciate because I could not get the other method to work (prolly my error, but nice to have alternatives).
This new approach would be extremely hard to find on your thread "How to get Google Wallet (from Market) on Galaxy Nexus" - that thread is over 10 pages long, and I don't know of any way to sort through that many responses to find the one post with a usefull suggestion for an alternative method.
If there is a better way to search that I'm unaware of that will help me find a post like this that's on a 10 page thread I am all ears though. Thanks for your feedback.
After browsing this forum, and the top 10 apps thread, Tapatalk is obviously hugely popular. However there doesn't seem to be any mention of Tapatalk HD which is now out in beta from the Tapatalk forums.
I didn't know if everyone was aware of it and already using it. I did search these forums and there are a couple of threads....but not in Nexus 7.
I hope you guys find the HD app as great as I do

Lame, you have to register to get the beta. No thanks. You think you pay for this thing and they turn around don't tell you jack about the HD version.
To be honest, I have not been impressed by the lack of features and integration with some forum options. Also some of the patches have been poor and affected performance and even still the little pic for each forum you are subscribed too does not show up right away like it used to.

Well i suppose i could do that, but personally speaking i think it would be a lot easier if you just typed the forum URL into Tapatalk and it had the ability to save that particular forum so you wouldn't have to contact them and it just saved from there on in.
Not to mention the severe lack of categories available.
Overall im disappointed to be brutally honest. :/
The fact is the forum needs the plugin so that the app has permission to post/interact with the forum
If it just automatically worked, that would be HUGE security risk and anyone could potentially post/act as an admin... It needs to communicate with the forum so it knows your level of access

I know that the new Moto-X phone will be "always listening" and Google Now can be activated anytime by voice. However, there is yet to be solid confirmation this will be rolled out to other devices. One reason most devices do not use this is probably the strain it puts on the battery, always having to process audio.
A lot of threads seem to discuss this - how to achieve this task. However, it appears the general consensus is that the battery would drain to quickly.
I'm sorry this didn't really answer your question, maybe in the coming weeks, once people get their hands on the Moto-X, the hardware to implement the hands free Google Now will be studied in an attempt to replicate.
EDIT: I found something! I found an app in the play store called Open Mic+. It is really new and seems to accomplish the task you are talking about. The performance seems to be iffy for now, as its still in beta, and reviewers say it drains battery, but it could be really cool.
There's an app on Google play store called Google Mic +, it's the only one I could find. Works pretty well actually.

Will the Samsung Link apk work for non Samsung Smartphones (i.e. Nexus 6P or Moto X Pure)? If not is there another app that will and works like Samsung Link? Everywhere I read says Dropbox etc but those don't let me see all the files on my PC from my phone and be able to download them to my phone if I want. I feel like such a noob asking this and most things I can figure out but not this.
Was that a really stupid question? Does anyone use Samsung Link on non Samsung smartphones?
