Carly is NOT hot. She has a monkey face, and no curves. Besides, shes pregnant now. She posted the sonogram on her FB page like two months ago. Thats why T-Mo has no new commercials with her in them in the last few weeks.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, now that's a hot T-Mobile spokeswoman! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K4V_W_Okfo (and shes not canadian like Carly. Damn ugly canadians LOL)
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Agreed! CZJ is way hotter!
[Nexus 4 General] AlphaKoi:
we have all tapped out and are just brooding with the glimmer of hope in the distance and hoping that distance is shorter than it probably is.

the information train derailed and now all that's left is hopes and dreams and trying to validate/disprove the UPS man like he is sasquatch or something.

its probably just going to be banter, speculation, and prayers posted until something new develops. drink another for me

I've never felt any of my Nexus phones had to be rooted....my vibrant, oh heck yes! But always felt my Nexus phones were perfection as is....the only reason I rooted my Nexus 7 was for tablet ui....and I like the pretty pink themes in the play store :)
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
There's so much beauty in the world.. heh
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
Nothing left to talk about and nobody's getting any new info on their devices. The thread will probably pick up again when people actually get shipping emails.

3h 9m 22s

mostly texts, a little web, a phone call or 3....oh and lets not forget the stupid hope in me checking my email constantly
[Nexus 4 General] cavallino33:
I am starting to think about cancelling. It seems there are many people unhappy with yellowing screens, easily breakable glass, rattles, poor wifi etc. The problem is I have an LTE phone now, so everything really needs to be perfect to make it worth the downgrade to 4g.

I soooo wish there were more choices for phones with google vs carrier updates.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I think Carly is "cute", CZJ is a classic beauty, there is no comparison.
[Nexus 4 General] 5knotwinds:
That's pretty much it. When we had lots in limbo, there was at least a lot of speculation and lots of people without phones trying to figure anything we could out.. now, just the LL3s left and I'm guessing most have given into Google and are just waiting for their fate like I am. Have your way with me google but try to be gentle.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Haaahaaa....we have nothing if we don't have hope :)
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
The woman in the tmob commercials is not hot? Are you high? If Carly is who I think she is.. The it on the motorcycle? She is away hot. I don't really follow that stuff though so I don't know who is who.

You're only hearing about the people with issues, which seems like a lot....the ones who are happy aren't going to voice it. Hold on a little longer, if you get it and it has those issues send it back. Better than saying 1 week From now "dang, should have waited/kept my order".
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Well put!
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Wait till you grow up and are allowed to visit bars and clubs and such. You will see the "talent" that is out there and realize Carly is a big-lipped fugly bish. I mean, come on, just cause she wears tight clothes and makeup makes her hot? Just cauae she used to wear dresses and heels in the original commercials makes her hot?

I am sorry your standards are so low LOL

[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
Yep, same thing happened with the nexus seven when it first came out, a lot of people complained on Reddit in /r/nexus7. Finally we made a thread discussing how many people were haply with their device. To our surprise, way more people happy than upset.

[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Well... for Tmo users, this thing is the best thing out there. The other issues you state... we don't know the rate of those problems. If you have a problem, call the Nexus line and get a replacement. Comes fast, is free, fairly hassle free, and you can keep exchanging till they give you a good one or you are fed up and want a refund.

I personally DO NOT want LTE until the battery issues settle. Plus, LTE is expensive. I'd rather not have a rate increase or lose my unlimited data. When I can get 12+ Mbps down and 3 Mbps up with 4 bars and 50ms latency on HSPA on my phone... what do I care to have data capped 25 Mbps with a little less latency, and less widespread, with more cost and a data cap on a PHONE? Hell... I can have over 100 Mbps at home if I want to pay for it, but nothing I do requires more than my middling 20 Mbps connection... and that's on a computer.

Cheers dude!

[Nexus 4 General] stopswitch:
Dude you have no idea. My galaxy nexus GSM edition is so much more stable than my LTE version. The battery alone makes the LTE version very unbearable. I get two hours screen on MAX on my LTE version. The GSM one gets at least four hours with the same settings.

[Nexus 4 General] AlphaKoi:
I agree that Nexus is pretty much amazing right out the box, but Id say rooting it is a good idea just for the kernel improving battery life

and also for the themer nerds like me who want to make it prettier than it already is

I also agree......see for yourself. No need in following peoples opinions on an 8 day old phone. If it isn't what you thought it would be....sell for profit like the soul-less jerks on Ebay that I loathe right about now. Besides....theres already movement in the development thread and that's a very very good sign for us all.
[Nexus 4 General] cavallino33:
Sending it back requires a restocking fee right?

I could just cancel and give it more time it isn't like I need a new phone really. I just want something that 1. Gets prompt stable updates 2. Doesn't require custom roms to work normally.

My skyrocket is an ok phone minus the camera and low res, but the stock updates totally broke the phone. Even cm10 nightlies are more stable.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Don't worry, it's all in the eye of the beholder. That's what's so great about this world.

Low standards? Hah.. Grow up? I would argue the reverse. Being mature helps see the beauty in all things. I wouldn't say my standards are low, I'm just eclectic. :) Though like hamster said, I wouldn't argue cute, that's apt.

This is so off topic sorry.. back to nexus!

She's like the Nexus 4, not everyone likes it but if you could have it you would.

If you say he isn't attractive then you are blind!
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
What happened to the weird Ron Paul memes? Kinda miss them...

Also... Carly, very pretty face, great commercials, but would prefer someone who ate a ham sandwich. She's just a little too boney for my taste... though she does look fresh and makes for a brilliant Tmo ad campaign.

The Nexus 7... great device but I'm OCD. I thought the screen was poor and washed out and the battery life was AWFUL for me no matter the ROM or kernel. The performance was killer though, and so was gaming. I was set to keep it but I absolutely CANNOT tolerate the screen life and the spongy/mushy left hand side of the device. After awhile the glass raises to a point where you get creak and sensitivity problems. After many exchanges, I became resigned until the announcement of the Nexus 10. Made the choice to get a refund... and get the 10 and I've been VERY happy with the purchase. Sure... I'll miss slipping it into my pocket, but other than that, the Nexus 10 is better in every way, and is an absolute iPad killer.
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
I just got another message from Victor. This guy is more clingy than the ex that lays in the road after you leave her.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
+1 Well said - Happy Thanks giving!
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I've gotten almost 6 hours of screen time on the 2000mAh extended battery. Using a solid black homescreen background and using the "dark" theme in every app that supports it helps quite a bit. I stopped doing that except for the homescreen because it's more pleasurable to use most apps on the non-dark theme.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Indoors with auto brightness and Korean OEM extended battery, 5 hours on screen was the norm for me. My dad has the Verizon version... doubt he gets 3 hours even with LTE turned off, etc.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
The playstore now has a link to t-mobile for purchase now....odd.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Gross.. Has a chest like a 7 year old boy. There is nothing to go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrritzski on!
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Haha you think that's clingy.... I had the unfortunate chance of having a 1-night stand with a clinger... my god it's awful.
[Nexus 4 General] cavallino33:
My LTE skyrocket has terrible battery life, lasts about 16 hours with moderate use maybe 20% screen on, but the battery is swappable so its not a big deal.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Returning it for defects does not incur a stocking fee in my experience. Plus it costs NOTHING to get a replacement, not even the shipping. My N7s were usually to my house in less than 2 days. Same damn World Port the N4's are not shipping to my home right now. You keep your device, then the new one comes, you evaluate it, and then print out the RMA label. Stick the thing back in the box, tape it up, tape up the label and drop it off anywhere that does UPS pick up. You have 21 days to send the old one back. Exchanged my N7 6 times... so I'm pretty used to the process.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I like thin women and I would be just fine with her... :) just because she is not your type does not mean she is not hot. She is a beautiful foxy woman for sure.. and at least she has not ruined herself with fake parts..

Shes a bit thin but still attractive. Im telling you if you had the option you'd take her, 7 year old boy chest and all.
[Nexus 4 General] cavallino33:
That is good to hear but I am just worried about an issue that is intrinsic to the Nexus 4 that no amount of returns will avoid.

Like I said it has to be PERFECT to make the loss of LTE worth it to me.

Does anyone who has one have opinions on the camera?
[Nexus 4 General] kcm117:

Part One: http://youtu.be/DULEaQKPpWY

Part Two: http://youtu.be/SUSrkSmBSCI
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Well... seems like your mind is made up. You are on ATT, which other than some coverage, has a worse HSPA experience, data capped LTE, etc. Your phone will not be perfect... especially if you are coming from another high end phone. The point is you will NOT find ANY device outside of the nexus line that will get regular, supported, and carrier free android updates, customization, etc. AOSP all the way man. If that's a must for you, then the Nexus line is the only game in town! I would be a little less ansy for this phone if I wasn't stuck using my old, slow Nexus S. Sold my mint Galaxy Nexus a couple weeks ago for 300 bucks.

Funny thing about the Nexus S... it was almost a year old hardware wise when it came out, and it even has official Android 4.1. From 2.3 and all the minor updates, to ICS, to Jellybean and still chugging along... albeit slowly now, after 2 years with 3 year old hardware. That's what you get with Nexus devices.
[Nexus 4 General] cavallino33:
Yeah I am still under contract on ATT too though I kept the same dataplan/price when I moved from 3g to LTE. I am just trying to get a better phone and I HATE the carrier update process.

[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
Is this legit?
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
This is crap..... Back orders should be set with in a week from now, maybe a little more. They are getting more phones daily.. it is not a batch thing as far add I know for those that ate back ordered.. We will have our phones before as new batch comes. I have been discussing this with a great CSR today through many emails.

That would be the most atrocious thing they can do. There is no way they can ship new orders before the backorders. If they ship them on the same day then that's not a problem, but they are not going to hear the end of me if this happens. I doubt it will happen though.

If there is indeed a new batch available for purchase on Friday that is good news for me as both my orders got botched. I'll be keeping in eye on it.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I wish I knew that back orders were being shipped daily! Don't think they are getting supply in fast enough for that unless they are selling their replacement stock.
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
So people that place new orders are getting a phone before me when I ordered the day it came out? Great, I didn't think Google could do worse, but apparently they can.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
I wouldn't make that call just yet. We'll have to wait and see.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
If anything, they will most likely open up pre order or something on Friday. Or maybe they are just really big jerk offs, and want to "test" out a reset of launch for next time by trying again. I wonder if they even have all the orders straight from the server crash, etc.
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
Proof of that?
[Nexus 4 General] svengalis:
Why would they open up new orders if they haven't even released the phone in some parts of the world yet? Post is BS.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I think if Google were shipping out daily, we would have people posting about it. They just don't seem to as far as I can tell. Some people did RECEIVE them over the past two days, but that was due some packages missing flights. Seems only 2 waves have gone out... the rest of us... THE LIMBO CREW!
[Nexus 4 General] raphec:
Assuming LG are manufacturing at Foxconn, once production ramps up, they can theoretically produce hundreds of thousands of units per day. Its not like they are going to be making 50 units at a time, one days production could cover a significant amount of backorder.

I think its more an issue of logistics and fixing their ordering mechanisms
