[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
Will be getting this bad boy asap around the 13th!
[Nexus 4 General] sixth_element:
Thanks bro. San Francisco does have T-Mobile HSPA+ coverage. I know T-Mobile has the $30 plan with unlimited text & data, but I feel I can easily go over 100 minutes talk time even though I don't talk on the phone a lot.
[Nexus 4 General] Reviewers:
It looks way thicker then my S3, I'll go see it in my local T-Mobile store and see if it's fine for me.
[Nexus 4 General] Andraxo:
well i haven't decided yet lol i have the old galaxy ace..
[Nexus 4 General] Cusa:
The gs3 is around 8mm thick and this is around 9mm but there shouldn't be a big difference.
[Nexus 4 General] Tmedler:
Definitely getting this. I have a gs2 on sprint right now for my personal phone but it's a 3rd party dealer plan and I no longer sell sprint so they are going to kick me off that plan. I will add a second dealer line for tmobile (1st one is my work number) and get this bad boy! Was thinking about note 2 but it's just to big...
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Indeed planning on it, depends on whether or not I get the chunk of Christmas cash I usually get. Looking forward to it
[Nexus 4 General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
yut.. can't help it. Selling my GNex :)
[Nexus 4 General] RoadHazard:
I definitely want to sell my GNex and get this instead, but it will depend on how the pricing situation develops. Here in Sweden (and most other countries) we can't buy hardware from the Play Store, so we'll instead have to get the phone from some other phone retailer, and they are all listing it at about €500-600 right now. That's simply outrageous compared to what the phone costs in the US and the largest EU countries (where it can be bought from the Play Store), and I will not be getting it unless it at least drops below €450. Sure, €500 might be a decent price for a phone this nice, but I'm just not in the mood to get completely ripped off compared to what people in other countries are paying.
[Nexus 4 General] nandihno:
Yes sold my galaxy note 1 enough money now for nexus 4

Decided to stay with nexus from now on
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Sold my GNex for 250. :) 13th couldn't come faster.
[Nexus 4 General] ^eLipS#:
I live in Serbia and one of my friends is coming to USA on Christmas, so I'll probably buy this device if I manage to sell my Arc S (it's cracked a lot and headphone jack doesn't works, so it's gonna be hard to sell it) or Nexus 7 :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] mmm.waffles:
If LG decides to support an unlocked bootloader on the Optimus G would any of you take it over the Nexus 4? Or is the pure AOSP support the key factor here? (Along with the subsidized vs unlocked nature of the two devices)
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
I'm getting this device and selling my Xperia S.

This will be my first Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] r1tesh:
I do not agree with the specs on the nexus 4. I need the ability to expand space, with the nexus 4, limited

Sent from THE BEAST using xda premium
[Nexus 4 General] Groof:
Nexus 4 has been the first piece of technology I've have been excited for in a while and it'll be nice to get an upgrade from my SGS2. Figuring I should sell it as soon as possible, but with a broken screen that might be a problem. :P
[Nexus 4 General] Cusa:
I'm getting it the first day it comes out. I just sold two old phones so I have enough money for this!
[Nexus 4 General] jahmgwapo:
Will probably get one if the reviews are nice. Not really particular in benchmarks.
[Nexus 4 General] fiskenigaten:
Who cares about reviews anyway? It's better than its predecessor and it's a nexus! That's all that matters :D

If you haven't already, check out the review on the verge;)
[Nexus 4 General] Carter123:
I will sell my black IPhone 5 64GB and buy the Nexus 4.

After having had the milestone and the dhd i wanted to try iOS and switched to the iPhone 5.

Now i feel like in prison, all the freedom and customability is gone -> don´t like, so i´m switching back to Android ;)
[Nexus 4 General] limpopo:
Was going to plunge right in, but will wait now to see if the thermal throttling issues can be resolved.

Anyway, apparently this is a "development forum", so this thread is not really on topic - please close the thread.

See here
[Nexus 4 General] :
Was planning on getting it but battery life is putting me off, dont want to return to the stone age of running out of juice. S3 gets me through a day, even the iPhone 5 gets your through a day with a much less battery. Gotta be a software problem so will wait and see.
[Nexus 4 General] NIK516:
Yeh I've seen that review but if you read the verge review or the cnet UK review it seems a non issue . I personally think the anantech unit has some pre production bugs and any issues with CPU performance would be purely software not hardware.

I do think waiting would be best, but I am conffedent that Google will fix all this in a update before it ships all the devices like when the galaxy nexus was first released you stared the device and you had a software update day one lol . I thought to my self wow Google is fast on the updates lol.

Ill pre order my 16gb nexus 4 on Google play as soon as its available along with the 16gb nexus 10. I want to use it for my trip to mount Kosciusko and do a 360 put it on maps.
[Nexus 4 General] (THE REAL) Neo:
Same here,in Italy...

I know a lot of people that want to buy this device,but with the "Play store" price,not at 550€...

I hope Google will activate hardware selling even in Italy...:(

Neo on Galaxy Nexus with Tapatalk 2®
[Nexus 4 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Anybody read/know any guesstimates on how long it will take to arrive? I doubt I should worry but if it steps into December it'll become worrisome, since my dad will be coming from the states in early December (though probably not in the first week).

P.S. Nexus 4 16gb. I might be able to get by with 8gb but since I'm planning on having this phone for 2-3years I dont feel like risking it. I'm coming from the galaxy 3, the lil fella has been with me for over two years, it's gonna be a lil sad to depart but it will stay close by (will be giving it to my sister)
[Nexus 4 General] Cuyi02:
I'll get it for myself as a Christmas present. I'm coming from the Nexus S BTW. Nexus is the way to go, no doubt.
[Nexus 4 General] masterpfa:
This was the very video that convinced me that the Nexus 4 will be for me. Up until viewing this I had every intention of just sticking with my GNex, but not only this video but the PRICE

Google "Shut up and take my money"

:silly:
[Nexus 4 General] DubelBoom:
Performance and battery issues should be fixed on the 13th with Google's final 4.2 version. For now, each reviewer has a different build. That is why the reviews are very different!
[Nexus 4 General] asphaltsally:
I just found out that to get the $30 prepaid plan from T-Mobile you have to buy your phone from Walmart or T-Mobile. ANyone else have any experience with this?
[Nexus 4 General] XxStatiX:
Getting the 8 GB Version :fingers-crossed:

Cause i use an iPod Classic for my Music(Don't kill me :laugh:) and I don't really like Handheld gaming(The S4 in the Nexus might change that:o)

.So yeah i'm getting one.
[Nexus 4 General] osugsxr:
I'm actually somewhat content with the iphone 4s I purchased. Only thing I dont like is being on 2g speeds but I have wifi at work and home so its not a deal breaker. Plus I reduced my data plan from 5gb to 2gb saving $30 month on my bill. I do like the IOS though, simple and easy to use plus it works.

Android, I do miss some of it being able to customize the layout. I was just tired of finding a rom that I liked. Always tweaking the phone to make it work better on different roms, just grew tired of it. Plus always selling/trading to have newest android phone :silly: Now for the nexus 4 I think I could possibly keep it and not want to sell or trade it.
[Nexus 4 General] glennj99:
I thought you could buy some cheap gsm phone from them and move the SIM chip in that phone into whatever other phone you wanted, keeping cheap Walmart phone as a backup.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Android central also said the battery life on the phone is quite good & they don't understand how some people have had issues.
[Nexus 4 General] venturizhou:
I activated about a month ago and I wasn't told I had to purchase a new phone. Previously what I did was order an activation kit and a prepaid card from T-Mobile.com then I would just call customer service telling me that it wasn't letting my activate it online. They would activate it for me over the phone at that point. I believe you should be able to activate it online though.
[Nexus 4 General] jasonwc:
T-Mobile MicroSIM Activation Kit

Just purchase a microSIM activiation kit from T-Mobile. It's 99 cents and it includes everything you need. When you receive the Nexus 4, you just activate online and choose the $30 plan (5 GB 4G data, 100 minutes - make sure to pick the right one as there's also a 1500 min, 1500 text, 30 MB data plan for the same price). The activation kit includes all the instructions necessary to activate.
[Nexus 4 General] wilsonlam97:
Just sold my Galaxy Nexus. Gonna get some of that NEXUS 4. OH YEAH:D

Using HTC Dream right now;(
[Nexus 4 General] BennyJr:
Im hoping with solavei i get at least 15 down, if not im going back to straight talk.
[Nexus 4 General] Guzanni:
Gonna ask my uncle to buy one for me in Germany :) He works a couple days per week there. I live in the Netherlands.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
Finally someone else that knows my pain. :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I just sold my gnex today, was sad to see her go
[Nexus 4 General] techmatlock:
Nope. Buy a micro sim card activation kit, go to t-mobile's website, go to monthly 4g, sign up for $30 prepaid plan.
[Nexus 4 General] Magnum20:
Which carriers?

Probably a dumb question, but what carriers in the US can this phone be used with exactly?
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
anything that is not Verizon, Sprint, or related to verizon and sprint.

Namely, At&T, T-mobile, Straight Talk and other smaller carriers that operates on either At&T/T-mobile's network.
[Nexus 4 General] venturizhou:
T-Mobile, AT&T and any MNVO that uses their network such as Straight Talk
[Nexus 4 General] Arid711:
Absolutely!
[Nexus 4 General] koodiifin:
Just shipped my Samsung galaxy s ii hd lte! Getting my first nexus for sure! I'll have to use my old milestone until then!
[Nexus 4 General] phoneman09:
Count me in as well! Selling my iPhone 4 soon. Then using the HTC Wing for the time being!
[Nexus 4 General] crownua6:
I'll be putting up my T-Mobile Galaxy S2 T989 up for sell on craigslist the moment I receive my 16 GB LG Nexus 4.

Hopefully, around Christmas time, there will be a 16 GB white version for the Mrs.'s x-mas present, and possibly sell her GSM Galaxy Nexus as well.
[Nexus 4 General] Saturny:
Birthday.

I'm getting this for my mom. It'll make a great gift. Plus, I'll be due for a upgrade on my line next month, (her b-day's this month, but she said she'll wait), and my dad gets her old phone (he needs a upgrade). Everybody wins! :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
My dad is getting me the Lg Nexus :p :) the joy of being 18 lol
[Nexus 4 General] lnfound:
Still much better then straight talk as the next option. 2.5x the data and $15 less. Even if you go 150min over its the same price as ST. Also data calls are fine with Wi-Fi, I've read people have some problems with the latency over hspa though.
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Yeah I plan to sell my vivid after I get my nexus 4, debating whether to do it on ebay, Craigslist or xda, I typically sell stuff on ebay but lately paypal wants to hold my money forever and that gets annoying
[Nexus 4 General] spac3m0nk3y:
I would love to get it, as I want to stick with Nexus phones, but we don't have T-Mobile service here and I'm not sure I want to take the chance on StraightTalk service.
[Nexus 4 General] tyler78:
I love the new Nexus but I've started to change my mind about buying it. Main reason is the price. 600 euros is way too high. And it's going to be a lot higher in my country(Turkey). It's just too expensive. I think I'll just buy Note 2.
[Nexus 4 General] Kookas:
How are you guys selling them? I swear, EVERY time I try to sell on eBay, I get a scammer (and that takes my listing down because eBay thinks it's a buyer). I've given up on using it.
[Nexus 4 General] Maroon Mushroom:
There are mail forwarding services.

Do you have a friend in the US?
[Nexus 4 General] ocula:
formatted storage

Does anybody know how much usable storage space we can expect to get on the 8GB model?
[Nexus 4 General] jacklebott:
I've heard the Nexus 7 gets roughly 5.92GB of usable space on the 8GB model, so I'd assume it's similar
[Nexus 4 General] Vaanres:
LG Quality

I have read this article http://www.xda-developers.com/android/nexus-4-battery-shot-reveals-potential-quality-issues/

Do you think that Nexus 4 has poor quality?

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

Sound good, i will buy a 8GB model, it's suitable for me
[Nexus 4 General] tyler78:
Well, I have an uncle in Miami and a distant releative that goes there sometimes but if I buy it from there, there won't be a warranty. That concerns me. I don't think LG have international warranty.

Maybe it's worth it considering the price. I don't know. I just saw the note 2 today and it was awesome. It really messed with my mind.
[Nexus 4 General] Vaanres:
but how about the quality issues ?

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/nexus-4-battery-shot-reveals-potential-quality-issues/
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Ugh that kinda sucks
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Craigslist dude!
[Nexus 4 General] BennyJr:
Stop posting that horrible article from someone that doesn't know sh!t
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Well for what it's worth, Google is handling the warranty for play store owners. I looked it up because I knew they were for nexus 7 owners but I know the Galaxy Nexus they weren't, but it's in the manual for the 4. If it's anything like the n7 they have advanced shipping which is good if the built quality isn't the greatest
[Nexus 4 General] BlackMiracle:
how is the hardware quality from LG? I never interested in LG but I've waited for Nexus for too long, it seems like I don't have any options.
[Nexus 4 General] m11kkaa:
I want to buy Nexus4 but I have a very basic problem: I can't buy something from the playstore because I don't have an credit card :(
[Nexus 4 General] Slender Troll:
I am wondering if it is possible to buy one using the google play cards you can buy at the store. I'm thinking as long as you buy enough to cover the cost of the N4 you should be fine.

Motorola Photon 4G
[Nexus 4 General] m11kkaa:
:P

[Nexus 4 General] Vaanres:

[Nexus 4 General] m11kkaa:
Can I remove credit-card after adding and purchasing it?

Maybe I can find someone who wants to give me access but he/her wouldn't want to keep it added I think.
[Nexus 4 General] apzalo:
Do they have prepaid credit cards over there like they do in the US? http://usa.visa.com/personal/cards/prepaid/prepaid-card.html
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Yeah you can. You go to your google wallet setting> payment method> remove card.
[Nexus 4 General] m11kkaa:
Oh yes great idea. Didn't know about this possibility.

We have this, too and I'll take a look at it - thx.
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
If you are thinking of this, then it would be important to check how they refund. Often it is only to the same CC.
[Nexus 4 General] Tomatoes8:
Damn, did the GS3 value drop that low already? I got $500 easily for mine but I guess it is an easier sell for me in Canada. I just say Quadcore version faster than the North American version and already updated to Jelly Bean. you don't get yours until December and bam. I would have just kept my GS3 if I only got $350 for it.

Now I am just deciding between the Nexus 4 or living dangerously and getting a Windows phone.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
Windows Phones are very nice indeed, including the new nokia lumia range.. but quite boring once you've had so much fun with Android and it's ROMs and mods ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
After what ms pulled on windows phone 7 users, I'm waiting and seeing on phone 8. Microsoft does this stuff alot, brings out awesome stuff then doesn't market it very well then discontinue it, like zune for instance. I was a zune user and I loved the device, but hated that accessories were scarce, and usb playback didn't work on my car stereo. Hopefully 8 they finally get it right
[Nexus 4 General] ianford10:
Without a doubt I will be getting this. Will be up early on the 13th to get my order in then the note 2 is on eBay :)
[Nexus 4 General] asphaltsally:
Ordered my T-Mobile micro SIM today. Can't wait!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
I'll be getting the 16GB version at launch. Thankfully, AT&T's 3G isn't as slugtastic where I live (and neither is T-Mobile's, for that matter).

I still have my Cappy for rom fun :) Your wife will be blown away at the difference.
[Nexus 4 General] Bilhouse:
Will be pre-ordering the 16GB Nexus 4 as soon as its available from the Play Store.

The phone just looks incredible as does Android 4.2. Would have really liked to have seen a 32GB model, but with the announcement of Google Music in Europe i'm not too fussed.
[Nexus 4 General] trailblazerz11:
Not sure buy direct from Google or T-Mobile contract. $349 is ridiculously cheap for the specs off contract. I assume they will be selling identical devices.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
I will defiantly be getting this. Great price :D 16GB isnt too bad now the UK has google music and we dont really have much LTE so i love it.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I'll definitely be getting one. I want to sell my Xperia Play and Transformer (which I never use).

When did they start taking pre-orders for the Nexus 7 and how long did they take to arrive?

I'd like to sell ASAP but I don't know if I could live with my old Blackberry for too long..
[Nexus 4 General] Sahkolihaa:
£239 for the 8GB version? Hell yes I am buying one! I don't use much storage and this'll go great with my Nexus 7 16GB. :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Totally agree. LTE won't be in my area for a long time and I was looking forward to the new Google Play features for a while.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Yea plus EEs prices are stupidly expensive I'd rather stay with three.
[Nexus 4 General] leventccc:
I'm absolutely buying this device! 2 gigs of ram + s4 quad core + pure google!
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Exactly. And giffgaff are great, but I don't think they'll be getting LTE any time soon. Plus I need an unlocked phone for my giffgaff sim, so the Nexus 4 is perfect.
[Nexus 4 General] aSquard:
Same here - Will be putting the Skyrocket on sale for $300...
[Nexus 4 General] Turbotab:
I think that they will follow the same strategy as the Nexus 7, if there is sufficient initial demand, and they can then squeeze their supply chain on price, Google will release a LTE 32 GB model in a few months. In Europe this will be a major hit, LTE is barely available in the EU. It is a quad core krait with Adreno 320, on pure Android 4.2, bargain. Until LTE is cheap and unlimited, it won't matter to me.
[Nexus 4 General] Pragmata:
Gah, I am so very torn! I just bought a new 32GB microSD card for my Galaxy S2X (hercules) and I really like what the microSD slot allows me to do. I suppose I can live without LTE for better battery life, but the microSD is what hurts me. I hold all my ROM's, nandroid backups, TiBu backups, radios, kernels and such on my microSD. I don't know what kind of dev community the Nexus 4 will pull, but how do you guys expect to deal with only 16GB for all that stuff?!

I know the Optimus G will have a locked bootloader, but with the Nexus 4 being similar hardware it's very possible we'll see an unlock and will be able to flash ROM's on it, no? At the same time, this phone at that price is soooo sexy. The Razr Maxx also looks appealing and is rumored to be coming to Canada soon.

AHHHH, I can't decide. So many options but no perfect phone for me. xD
[Nexus 4 General] DubelBoom:
No preorders?

If I order on the 13th, about when it will arraive?

Is 16GB enough?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
You end up paying over $600 for a $350 device to buy it through T-mobile. I'm not sure why anyone would even consider that.
[Nexus 4 General] phewizzo:
I cant wait till I get the 16 GB version!!
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
Im going to be interested to see if T-Mobile changes anything...aside from offering access to their 42mb/s network that the Play Store version won't have. Maybe microsd? LTE enabled? 32 gb option? I will be shocked to see that pricing stick unless they offer up something additional....no one would buy it at that price.
[Nexus 4 General] brycied00d:
Because you just spent only $200! Welcome to marketing ;)

Nobody does the math... And those that do the math may not have >$200 available to spend.
[Nexus 4 General] kenjiwing:
Google publishing a "cloud" device that doesnt have access to LTE is just unbelievably stupid.
[Nexus 4 General] vido.ardes:
Seriously couldn't be happier about this... I have had an Incredible S for nearly 2 years (ophaned by HTC in favour of the Sensation 2 months after launch :mad:) and no tablet other than a HP Touchpad.

An 8GB Nexus 4 and a 16GB Nexus 7 for under £400? Colour me happy! After watching the verge video, I knew this was my next phone. I can get a £12.50 a month contract with Three which comes with unlimited data, and pay for the devices outright. With Google Music & Movies finally coming to the UK with a match service? Call me a Google fanboy! My card details will be in as soon as the pre-order goes live, already ordered the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 4 General] BuddyJoe83:
I always would want a Nexus device, as I do now, but I am still so satisfied with the Galaxy Nexus. The design, updates, speed aswell although it's dual core, it's just a overall great phone.

What can the LG Nexus 4 add to this experience?

I wish Samsung made this one aswell, HW wise. I know they make the Nexus 10 but hope these rumours about a Nexus 3 are true but I seriously doubt it.

I am not sure if I will buy the Nexus 4, I am no fan of the hookup with LG.
[Nexus 4 General] Longcat14:
Definately getting it, just got $250 from selling my skyrocket on eBay, and and I can easily put the $100 down for the 16GB Nexus 4.

Get to keep my S3, and a Nexus 4.... this is awesome. :D
[Nexus 4 General] :
No LTE? Only 16GB? LG? JB for 4.2?

Pass. Giant "Meh" for Android this fall and winter.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
I still use my Touchpad as my main tablet ;) With CM9, of course.
[Nexus 4 General] hardmanbdn:
I think is a great device with an amazing Price!!!!!!!!! i'm going to sell my Gnex.. to buy this one
[Nexus 4 General] namartlu:
Getting it as soon as it's available and using on the T-mobile $30 plan. Currently on Virgin mobile, connection is disappointing.

Couple of questions:

1. You think the wireless charger comes with the box or is it extra?

2. 16GB is a bit limited, I have a bunch of pictures (6GB) so far, so probably have to move them up to cloud. Which cloud storage is better? And how should I browse them seamlessly on the device?
[Nexus 4 General] z7nz:
I'm in US and want to ship it for my sister in Singapore. Anyone knows if this device works for Singapore radio? I also not quite sure if it gets through the customs
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
Wireless charger is not stated as coming in the box, I imagine it will be a bit spendy too....60-70$??

Free 50 gb from Box is pretty hard to pass up. I also have the 25gb 5$/year plan from Google too, but that no longer exists for new subscribers.
