Some interesting comments about performance and battery life there.
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
I just wish it had a camera to match the one x.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I can't speak for battery life, but those 'performance' tests are mostly based on synthetic benchmarks. Well all know these can be faked. The gnex was slammed for performance when it came out simply because quadrant wasn't optimised for it yet. I am guessing these apps need to be updated for 4.2??

Haha I've assumed a new name at Engadget...It's the ultimate troll name. Apple_iFan2.0. :highfive:
[HTC Incredible S] CyanideJack:
I believe the review units are still running software that isn't 'final version' to, so there might still be some optimisation to do. Some have suggested that this might improve battery life. Others have suggested that the Kernel might need some tweaking, which would explain the stuttering in the video camera some reviewers have experienced, plus some other bits and pieces. I would imagine this would improve battery life to Hardly a deal breaker.

I take your point regarding benchmarks. Certainly other reviews have all commented on how responsive the phone is.

The question is: This or the Optimus G? Basically the same phone, as I understand it, but I believe the Optimus has expandable memory?
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Optimus G has no development. No devs have picked it up, that's why I'm not getting one. Nice hardware but I want ROM support :D

[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
That's literally the only reason I'm going to n4 instead of hox+ or lumia920.... And I want a RGB light haha
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
haha my friend has a gnex, the light is soooooooo cool

And I like the shiny back :D
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
I just want RGB so I can have different colors for different things. I hate how vivo only has RG.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
Yeah I was disappointed when I tried to change the color back in the days of Cm7

Sent from my Infected ViperVivo
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
But updates and RGB swing it for me. I will miss the camera though, as its not as good as hox or 920 but I don't think I'm doing too much over next 12 month.
[HTC Incredible S] CyanideJack:
Lol, I was disproportionately disappointed when I found out the IncS didn't have fancy disco lights.
[HTC Incredible S] NardVa:
Considering I paid almost 600.00 for the Incredible S when it came out, I think the Nexus 4 16 GB for 350.00 is a steal.
[HTC Incredible S] hfzxiang:
GREAT

A GREAT decision for the price :)
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
I'll be picking my N4 up on Tuesday, good to know I'll see some familiar faces.

[HTC Incredible S] thedosbox:
Until the stock android mail app adds support for basic features such as on/off-peak sync schedules, there's no nexus device in my future. And no, third-party mail apps are not an option at my workplace.

On the Nexus 4 specifically, it would have been nice if it had actually been a 4" screen (ala Nexus 7, Nexus 10). The glass back also puts me off.
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
As soon as I heard this thing was 299 from the play store I was sold, I'm ordering in the next 3-4 weeks. Stoked.
[HTC Incredible S] CyanideJack:
Yeah, the glass back concerns me, to. I've seen several reviewers state they're units have already been cracked. Guess you could put a case on it, but still...
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Don't drop your phone? But still I guess accidents happen, seems like something you'd actually want to put one of those ugly ottor boxes on.
[HTC Incredible S] thuanle:
Sound great :victory:
[HTC Incredible S] thedosbox:
One of the reasons I bought the IncS is because it didn't need a case. The back is grippy enough to feel good in the hand and provide some reassurance that it won't slip. It's also able to withstand small drops without looking like crap afterwards.

I don't expect the same to apply to the Nexus 4.
[HTC Incredible S] greg2126:
I have to say, i will be selling my inc s to get this phone!!
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
I probably won't sell mine actually

I might not want to part with my first ever android device, that I learnt so much with lol :')

Being nearly 1-2 years old, I don't think we will get much for it :/

But I might be wrong. Mine's in great condition though (touch wood)

Waiting for the nexus4 launch in india

Not letting go my Incs, we've been in a love affair for over a year now. Lost it twice but luckily able to trace it back and the phone has taken some beating in terms of falls and nothing has damaged and is still my primary phone. I think this has to be one of the best Phones HTC has made in terms of performance and built quality. :D
[HTC Incredible S] MrSenne:
LG decided not to sell the Nexus 4 in my country, that sucks. :(

hello everyone

after Sony's announcement about JB & 2011 device

i stared to feel i wanna switch roms but i cant decide

my priorities are music - ram -camera -battery then gaming ( i don't really play em but just in case you want to)

i love the official ROM sound quality (clear bass-headphone surround) but i hate it when i get low ram under 100 mb (cause it becomes slow)

so i want to know about CM9/10 and aokp,miui and any other suggestions

Hey guys..is there any way to tether without rooting? I see that we have a bluetooth tether option, but that doesn't seem to be working. If rooting is the only way, what apps actually work to get tethering on the S3? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CCallahan:
Wireless Tether for Root works with stock ICS rom without issue. Just download latest version off the Market. If you are on JB then nothing currently works.

Also...this should be in Q&A section not General.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] alexhawj7:
Thanks for the update.
[Wildfire General] elia222:
So, it's time for an upgrade also for me. I just ordered an xperia U for 29€ (really! a dual core for 29€! with "Vodafone you" points).

These days are going to be the last days for my wildfire (probably I will give it to my brother, I can't sell this phone after all the time I spent on it :D ).

I still remeber the day I flashed my first custom rom (and went into bootloop, forgot to wipe data, lol :laugh: ) and the time I spent to try different things on it, just for the pleasure of giving something new to willy.

Thanks to everyone who helped me in this adventure, I hope you liked the work I shared here on xda.

A special thanks goes also to lo2ay, who continued my lewaos port, and to KoolSavas, that helped me with the JoyOS port. :good:

I will miss you all. :crying:

Sure. But the Play Store says you can purchase it on the 13th.
[Nexus 4 General] raze599:
I would imagine that means a direct purchase. It doesnt mention when pre-orders will start. I for one will definitely be pre-ordering (if possible) this phone. Just hope I can get around £160 for my HTC Desire HD with lots of cases and accessories included :)

I'll most definitely be getting one of these. The price is good, it looks good, and I really dig the wireless charging. I've many times where I'd just put my phone on my desk, forgot to connect the charger, and fall asleep just to wake up with a (mostly) depleted battery. Finally a worthy replacement for my ageing Nexus one.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
I wouldn't be surprised if the wireless dock is not available for quite a while.
[Nexus 4 General] craigbailey1986:

[Nexus 4 General] Makaijin:
It's not too big of a concern. The wireless charging is a more of a luxury than anything. The most important thing is the option is available; the aftermarket solutions either adds thickness or look just plain ugly.
[Nexus 4 General] poisike:
In EU the listed price must include VAT. As far as I know, VAT in Germany is 19%, but this is already included in price. Shipping Nexus 7 costs 9,90 EUR, I guess it will be the same for Nexus 4.

Question

Will i got any problems with shipping if i will ask them to deliver it to a hotel???
[Nexus 4 General] jak3z:
I think it's more a HOTEL problem than them, if you specify the hotel address as the delivery address and the reception guys are aware of it, I don't see any problem, you can always try to phone and ask them :)

[Nexus 4 General] PWF:
Yea probably, I'd imagine that your delivery address would have to match your invoice address due to the order being of high value.

I'm currently trying to decide how, where and when to sell my GNex to help raise funds! I'm thinking eBay before the 13th but not sure if I can live with a s**t phone for however long it is before my N4 arrives!
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
I didn't mean to come across as terse....this is carrier unlocked, just NOT for CDMA carriers. This is a pentaband GSM device, so basically every carrier in the know world apart from Sprint and Verizon.
[Nexus 4 General] Negri Electronics:
We do have them available for pre-order here http://negrielectronics.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=Nexus#.UJLMYob4IgI The date we expect them to ship to our International Customers is 11/15/2012.

We are very well aware that the price we have is higher than Google Play. Please note that our devices are also purchased from that site. In order to compensate for tax, and credit card fees once they are sold. Thank you for your understanding. We urge all customers in the US to purchase from Google Play, unless they are interested in a larger quantity. Google Play owns the market on these devices, we are just a re-seller paying full retail price offering these to our Loyal International Customers.

Any questions please visit our site and click "contact us" or our live help.

Hopefully some of your questions were answered here.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
On the play store, It says available to purchase from 13th November,

Does this mean for pre-order or is that when they will start shipping (so, no pre-orders?)
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
See now I'm not so sure. Carphone Warehouse are doing pre-orders now and they are saying they will ship them on the 13th. If that's the case then they will be shipping before Google, as Google will need time to get the orders processed and stuff. I'm expecting (hoping) pre-orders to appear next Tuesday...

Negri were very helpful!!
[Nexus 4 General] disq:
Just tried ordering a Nexus7 (since N4 orders are not open yet) while connected on a US-based VPN and unfortunately it seems like Google Wallet won't accept non-US credit cards for the hardware purchases. (My usual non-US cards are listed there, which it won't let me select)

That means if you are planning to purchase the N4 from the US with your international credit card (planning to send it to a hotel to a mate or yourself to bring it back home) you'll have to find another merchant as the Play Store won't do. I also checked purchasing with the gift cards, they too are not redeemable for hardware purchases.

So let's hope that Amazon sells it with a reasonable margin.
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
Just have to wait till Expansys international have it available. It'll be lame if they try to jack up the price though. Amazon unlocked phone prices are never good.

How much would you estimate Amazon's mark up would be? I haven't had any experience with their mark ups, maybe if you have seen their prices before, you can make an educated guess?
