    I got update too. I used the following method(source XDA) to force the ota update: 1) Click menu -> settings -> apps 2) swipe over to the "All" category 3) scroll down and look for Google Services Framework and click it 4) click "clear cache" and "clear data" 5) go to phone dialer 6)...

    For that method to work, the ota update must be present in one of google's servers close by. If its not then it won't work no matter what. We need to wait since a world wide update will take a while, it will crash their servers if they provide it at once everywhere. They will provide the update...

    AMD FX-9590 Review, Piledriver at 5 GHz

    Cilus I know are more knowledgeable, Im just reiterating what I have been reading up :) Berlin is an APU for server clusters. I was talking about the Mainstream Servers. This is an indication that steamroller could very well be APU only. Anyway I think we should continue in PM. My apologies...

    AMD FX-9590 Review, Piledriver at 5 GHz

    I have read that article, I saw it quoted in some other Tech forum. Most of the people argue that AMD only said that PD will not be the last CPU for AM3+, they could have been referring to Centurion or a derivative of Warsaw(PD). AMD never claimed SteamRoller, the tech journalists have made an...

    AMD FX-9590 Review, Piledriver at 5 GHz

    I've been reading a lot on some other forums that Steamroller may not be AM3+ afterall. Its sad since I just purchased a new mobo after being told here that it would definitely support it. Time will tell if this is true. It has been confirmed for the FM2 and the FM2+ sockets though. The reason...

    Google Nexus 4 Thread

    iPad is good but too costly especially the new models. You can do everything on the nexus 7 that you can do with the iPad and it comes with better specs too and as anupam_pb said it competes directly with the iPad mini at the same time being cheaper and better specced. The new nexus 7" has even...

    Google Nexus 4 Thread

    Well the xperia sp is a really good phone. Infact it was the most recommended phone in the 25k range until nexus 4 was official in india. IMO the nexus 4 is superior in a number of aspects. The only thing in favour of xperia sp is the expandable memory. If you can live with 16GB storage then...

So go back to settings and now you should see "Developer options" in the list (second last) Open "Developer options", enable...

    Guys, I am thinking of purchasing a slimport adapter for the Nexus 4 to connect the phone to an external HDMI display. N4 doesnt support MHL standard and currently is the only phone to use slimport. It also has support for Miracast, which is used for wireless mirroring, but Miracast device would...

    EA to increase PC game prices

    Indian PC Gamers Use Twitter to Protest EA Price Hike ^^TomsHardware has featured this on their site. Hopefully with the press this issue is getting, EA might budge but knowing EA (Especially Arrogant) it seems unlikely.

    Graphic Card Temperature!

    Hi mit_1984, welcome to TDF. Its good that you attached the hw monitor screenshot. The temperatures look fine. Those 9xxx series Nvidia GPUs run hotter than the current crop of GPUs because they are based on older 65nm fabs. Nvidia specifies 105 deg Cel as the max temp of its 9xxx series GPUs...
