I'm either gonna have to stick with using only the N4 or figure out a way to make this whole micro sim slot/ejection tool/adapter thing less of a pita. I'm so use to just taking out the sim and popping it in another phone, now I have to use the little tiny ejector tool and all that, and deal with these stupid adapters....Bluuucckk

I had the darndest time getting my SIM to be recognized.

At first I was really worried that I'd messed it up when I punched it down from Mini to Micro. I should have done a hard reset right there.

Yanking it out and reinserting it didn't help and neither did restarting the phone. It wasn't until I put another known good SIM (but not activated) that the phone even gave me a hint that the SIM reader was even working (I worried the phone was bad.)

After I pulled the old sim out it popped up the no-SIM notice. Then I powered down and restarted AFTER putting my punched-down SIM back in and it worked fine. I was producing bricks out of my back-side for about 30 minutes because it's a real PITA for me to get a new sim since the administrator of the family plan lives 400 miles away and I knew AT&T wouldn't give me the time of day if I went into an AT&T store.

I wonder if anyone else had SIM issues?
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Maybe it's the at$t micro sims that cause issues? Mine from T-Mobile goes in fine. "Producing bricks".....bhaaaaahaaa!

So all is fine now with the sim? And bricks stopped laying?

Took delivery. Won't reliable boot however. I've never wanted a user replaceable battery so much in my life. Smh. Looks like a bad battery. I literally just tried to power the device on for the first time. So I called to file an RMA and already ordered it. I wonder how long it will take.

EDIT: I plugged it into the charger, but it still won't stay powered on. I've literally had issues at every step in the Nexus 4 purchase process. At least I have a Galaxy Nexus to use until I can get a replacement.

[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
It works. I've been playing with it all day yesterday, all nigh last night, and all day today. Not a single SIM-related problem.

I'm not going to pull it out again EVER unless I have to. I hope I never need to use my POS old phone again. I think I'd rather use my Razr dumb flip phone.

After playing with it for 24 hours straight I'm a little disappointed in a few things that I thought would be fixed in 4.2 over 2.2 but there are still a lot of half-baked things.

Why, oh, why can't we have more control over the GUI? I'd love to be able to calibrate the screen brightness sensitivity in the "auto-brightness" routine. Every phone I've ever had (as well as almost every laptop) has the DUMBEST ambient light sensor screen-dimming. Either it is way too bright, or way too dim. I want to be able to calibrate this right from the stock UI without having to buy an app that has all sorts of scary camera and other permissions. Good grief, do I want some developer named "Sergey" looking at everything my phone cameras see? I think not.

Give us more control Google/Android. If I wanted an iPhone I'd have bought an iPhone -so I can "conform" to the way the phone does things instead of the other way around.

Do I have to wait until the version of Android starts with the letters X, Y, or Z before simple stuff like this is fixed? There are a handful of other issues like this which I had hoped would be fixed...

But now I'm just ranting. The phone is pretty darn good.

Sorry, we were unable to process this request. The order has been automatically cancelled and you will not be charged for the purchase. Please try again later.

I have been trying to contact Google but I can't since every link to contact them is broken, or it tells me to choose a product, but I can't since the products list is empty...

I know that you guys are not Google, but I don't know where to ask, could any of you help me?

"Hello Joe,

I want to first apologize for the delayed response. I have checked into your account to check the status of your purchase. At the moment it shows that you are still in the processing phase. It does show there has been some traffic on your account. It seems that someone has acknowledged your order and is working on getting it shipped. Once I get an update on your order I will be in contact with to follow up.

Thanks again for your patience and understanding.

Thanks for contacting us here a Google Play Support. I understand how you feel; I would feel that way as well, it is a very frustrating situation.

I have good new the Nexus 4's were on backorder but they just more stock and orders are starting to ship out tonight. So you should be getting your order within the next week, to confirm this you'll get two email confirmations.

Guys, hi to everyone at first! My order date was changed from 27th to 29th. Don't you know what does it mean? Is it good or it just doesn't mean anything? Thanks in advance and excuse me if that question was answered before
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
There was a trend starting that when people got their dates changed, they would also get a charge to their card around the same time. Are you a 13th or a 27th order? If you're the 13th, it probably means they're attempting to charge your card and will be shipping it tonight. If you ordered on the 27th, probably means absolutely nothing.

Still no updates on tracking information. I still have A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status will be updated". I called UPS and they tell me that the shipper has not given them the package and they tell me to call the shipper and tell them to contact UPS to "start an investigation" on this. So I call Google and they said the usual thing about "forwarding to a specialist". This is so frustrating. I hope I get it today

Not sure yet, but, I noticed once the battery hit 60% that the drain slowed way down, i hit 60% about 2 hours ago and it's at 55%, and I've been using it pretty much the whole two hours straight. It probably just needs to be broken in. Once the battery dies I'm going to reset and calibrate... I'm sure it'll be fine.

Unlocking the bootloader is really a non-issue right? I mean you can unlock and lock whenever you want. I ordered mine on the 27th so it'll be 1-2 weeks (according to Google...) and I anticipate that'll be the first thing I do. With my GNex I had it about 10 minutes LOL. Same with my Nexus S. There's just so much cool stuff you can do with these google phones. :)

FYI, I'm jealous of and happy for all of you that received your Nexus 4s. I've read a lot of these pages and remember feeling the EXACT same way for each Nexus delivery. :)

The "where are you UPS truck?" comments are epic. LOL.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
No, be patient.. A battery need to get used to the usage of itself.. The drain should slow down after 2 weeks or so.. Just be sure, that you charge your phone completely and let it drain till 10% the first few times.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I just got a little alarmed because I've never had a new phone drain that fast. I mean, every time I blinked I'd lose a percent. Thanks!

Yes sir! :) My lg wireless charging pad is working fabulous and I usually let it die until it doesn't turn on anymore the first 3 times, after that I never let it go below 25%. Thanks for the tip!
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I know you are right but I had a guy argue with me that with this type of battery it doesn't matter about giving it time to go through some charging cycles to get better battery life. But I know you are right cause mine has gotten way better since the Monday before Thanksgiving when I got mine. Cheers!!!

The battery does need some conditioning, but I believe its the software that starts controlling the battery, just takes awhile for it to "learn" how to make the battery last the longest.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Yeah, I saw my Wi-Fi get much better after the first ota. Two of them came one right after the other. The hspa is what seems to be having decreased performance from the stability of my GNex. I'll be sorting here watching it at 3 bars then all the sudden it disconnects and reconnects. It's not happening constantly but often enough that I see it sometimes.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Yes, that guy is also telling the truth, these types of battery Li-On batteries doesnt have a memory, so if your battery is full, its full and it wont charge anymore.. but the first few times it need to get used to the fact that it is being used, ( thats a weird sentence )

A lot of people confuses these types of battery with the old type battery ni-mh.. which had a memory :D

I'm confident the crackling is a software flaw... Anyone who tried running some custom rom cyanogen on their non nexus devices will have come across this bug. It can be ironed out. Let's hope Google takes it seriously.
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
I lasted about 20 minutes before unlocking/rooting/flashing. Sticking with a rooted stock 4.2.1 ROM for a bit though. No longer have the time to crack flash (fortunately).

Same boat. I have some slight buzzing in the earpiece that is tolerable but I also have a very small but noticeable bulge on the side where it looks like the back plate isn't popped in correctly (pushing it in does nothing). I've been reading about it and others have the same issue. I will RMA it after the Holidays when the demand dies down. For now I am very happy.

The UI is much smoother than 4.1 or 4.2 was on the Galaxy Nexus. And the overall quality is the best I've ever felt from an Android phone. Very happy with my purchase.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Well finally got to hold my new phone... its beautiful... but it has light bleed and half the screen is yellow...yay. the yellow will probably go away but the light bleed will not. I got an RMA for it. Back to some sort of limbo level
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I only hear it when I'm using the camera, but others have convinced me it is indeed the camera motor, or whatever they said it was. No reasons for me to rma yet....but I do have another 13 days, hence why I'm not unlocking/rooting....I have to be able to notice issues that a rom may cover up. I love my phone though...probably my favorite out of all of them. My only tiny gripe is the fact it's micro sim...that's putting a damper on me switching phones so often.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I buy nexus so I don't have to unlock the bootloader or root. The only reason I see to do that is to get good hardware and dump the crap bloated software that comes on it. Nexus doesn't have that problem.

Besides, too many people root just for the hell of it without understanding what that means or what potential danger they are putting themselves in when they give some random app root access. Not everyone mind you, but probably enough. Especially the ones who can't even spell kernel let alone know what a kernel is.
