Same here bro. I guess they just reflect the actual amount posted by the dev. Sometimes in usd, sometimes in euro, etc. But my card is charged in pesos. Could be because I don't use a dual currency card since I prefer making less computations when consolidating my expenses

100mb is too small for me, i tried to use the service on my 1st sub, and use it just for checking my mail 2x a day. And facebook 3-5x a day Including xda via tapatalk, and after 4days i already consumed 75mb of 100mb free (no download such other stuff), so, its not a good deal, i only sub to that promo because of unlitxt to all network for 1month for 250php only.

how much was the ballistic case?
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
I got it from eBay $21.37. Will have my-shoppingbox.com deliver it.

Seems legit enough. When I placed my order they were able to sell 28 units (item has been relisted). It's cheaper even if I wait for the 20% discount.
[Nexus 4 General] cdon2109:
Mine already broke on its 9th day. I got it from Gizmoshield. I emailed them about it, and said they will request for replacement from their seller. Too bad I have to wait for 3 weeks to a month.

Just got a new rubberized hard case from sulit.com for only 300.

There must be some app using the data. I use Smart's freedom plan 2000 sms to all networks + 150mb internet for only 200 pesos.

I leave data on, but i have wifi at home and at work. Its enough for twitter, fb, mail on the go.. Just make sure you use the respective apps and not open them in your browser.. You save data that way.

You can also go to the mobile data settings and see which app consumed the most data.

Can I ask how was the rubberized hard case? Is it from lovestring? Planning to buy one. What color did you get? Long time lurker here. :) And can you please post pictures of the case with the nexus 4? If it's possible and if it's not a hassle for you. Thank you!

Yes. I know what apps using my data connection. I keep an eye on those things in my phone. Even if im using aokp pub build jan27 and harsh kernel build feb3.

No running services that i didnt know of and also no google+ which is the data hungry app. Location services off, google now off.

Wanna see my running task? And most of it are only these app on background. If i see other which i wont use for that paeticular time i remove it from running.

May or may not be a network issue. I had that happen to me once. I was talking to a friend on globe. When I mentioned that he seemed to be fading in and out, he said I wasn't the first to complain and it might be a globe issue. He's on an iPhone 5 so it may not be a nexus issue. I haven't seen it happen on other globe numbers I've called, but then again I was on the phone for about 30 mins when it happened.
[Nexus 4 General] cdon2109:
Yup, that's the seller. Smooth transaction. I got the black one. Unfortunately, the poor guy (me) does not have another camera so I can't take a photo of it with the phone attached. It looks like the Nillkin frosted thingy which does not completely cover the upper and bottom parts but it offers good protection for the side and back. A bit disappointed on the feel of the back though as it doesn't provide excellent grip but hey it's just 300 bucks :D However it should provide good protection since it is sturdy enough. As an added protection, I bough a separate pouch I found in one of the local stores here in Cebu.
[Nexus 4 General] gio_punsalan:
Thank you! How does it look? Do you think this is just below on par with the nillkin cases? Are the cutouts exact? I am having a hard time between this and the tpu case of Cyberlynx. Thank you! I still have no plan buying more expensive cases so I am settling for this one for the mean time.

Or if someone here has plenty of cases which they want to sell. lol
[Nexus 4 General] cdon2109:
Yes cutouts are exact however I am not sure how it compares with the Nillkin case, I haven't seen one in person.

[Nexus 4 General] crackers9363:
if your rom does not support the "set preferred network type" setting (stock does not have this), dial *#*#4636#*#* and in Phone Info, set your preferred network to WCDMA only, you'll only get 3G signal from now on, best when in need of data connection. just set it back to WCMDA preferred or GSM only when data conn is not in use, to save battery and also, so that you can still receive msgs and call in places where there are no 3G signals.

LTE option there does not work here in the philippines

just be extra careful accessing this settings page, especially in the SMSC part, you might end up resetting your nexus 4 just to revert everything back to normal =))

Did anyone already tried if our N4 will work with Smart LTE? I don't have any friends with micro sim postpaid.
[Nexus 4 General] ijustzeke:
it won't work because of the different band that's currently used by smart. Nexus 4 supports only LTE/4g band 4. (correct me if I'm wrong).
[Nexus 4 General] :
Yeah, right. I tried it and it didn't pick any signal at all.
[Nexus 4 General] j.go:
ijustzeke is correct. Smart uses band 1, 3 and 5, while Globe uses band 3. The one on the nexus uses band 4. As far as I know, only american and some canadian carriers use band 4.

Good evening everyone!

Anyone who has heard of the brand Clarivue? I was skimming on some threads when I found out about this: http://www.clarivue.com/lg-google-nexus-4-hd-glass-screen-protector-cover.html

Pretty tempting... My BSE skins are still on the way...
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.JC:

[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Clarivue makes good protectors. I'm not sure on the tempered glass though
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
Haha let's see. I'm more inclined toward the BSE because for me it is least easily scratched (or at least there would be lesser to none scratch marks because of the BSE's material)

Me too. It's the first time I've heard of tempered glass actually so I'm not sure. If ever I'll just grab a Spigen or maybe in the future when reviews of this product (and other tempered glass protectors) are available.

Spigen Ultra Crystal Dual Protectors
[Nexus 4 General] audiomanph:
Just got Spigen's Ultra Crystal Dual last Saturday. Bought mine at Applewerkz. They also installed it for me. :)

In my opinion, it fits perfectly. It's just that it's a fingerprint magnet (as expected). Chose Spigen's because I also used a SGP screen prot for my iPhone 4s.

[Nexus 4 General] j.go:
How much did it cost you in total (case, shipping, etc.)? I;m looking to get the ballistic case for those times when I take the phone with me on rough trips but removing it when I'm in the city. However, if it costs upward $50, it might not be worth it since it won't be used that often.

Got my Nexus 4

Just got my Nexus4 recently. :D Ordered from the US Play store through a relative and got it shipped here (i live in Dubai). I got the 16GB - Total spent including taxes and shipping is USD 400. Not bad.

Got a Nillkin leather flip case from eBay. :good:

First impressions - very good. I am a big HTC fan and love sense but nothing beats stock.

The only downside - battery. With heavy use it doesn't last overnight. I just had this for a few days so will give it a couple of weeks to see how it really stacks up.
[Nexus 4 General] audiomanph:
Bought it for Php 950. I messaged Applewerkz Katipunan in FB to inquire and to reserve. They never confirmed my reservation though. The next day I just went to the store to check if they have stocks. Luckily they were able to reserve one for me so I was able to buy one.

[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
Using one I bought from them. Unfortunately, I'm not too satisfied with the screen protector as after a couple of days of constant wiping, it shows discoloration in the middle, compared to the sides. Maybe I was rubbing too hard (it was a fingerprint magnet at the start), but I still think it should have managed to withstand that. Just my simple review.
[Nexus 4 General] dancedreamfly:
To those considering the Capdase screen protectors: They're not THAT bad. Definitely better than the generics or Alibabas being sold by your nearest cellphone tiangge. But once you've experienced using Spigen or Power Support, you won't go back to using Capdase. I used Capdase for years since they've always been the first ones to release protectors for any new device. Compared to Spigen, Capdase protectors attract dust and scratches easily. They aren't as smooth to the touch and there is a visible loss in clarity of the screen even if you use the Aris (ultra clear) variant. In my opinion, it's better to spend a couple hundred bucks more on the Spigen. Applewerkz should have them.
[Nexus 4 General] MLBJR:
This looks good.. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] exdas:
I must say that bestskinsever's customer service did not disappoint. I had an issue where the poetic bumper scraped and raised my back protector. Tried to reapply but was frustrated enough to email support for help. They said that once the plastic has cured it cNnot be re applied and sent another full body set for free.

Meanwhile all my diy paid off. I was able to reapply by dropping some solution and applying pressure.

Though it now has a small part of the edge raised. It still looks awesome and now thanks to bse. I have a spare for when it peels (which i think it wouldnt). Peace of mind. I recommend them for sure!

I'm worried about applying it. At least if I get it from Applewerkz, they will be the ones applying it. The only time I realized that the Nexus 4's screen is curved was when we put the Nillkin sp. It's not aligned properly XD.

I admit that the only reason I'm interested in the oleophobic ones is because it makes it easier to wipe the screen after playing temple run :D

Cant seem to find that pouch in their fb page. But Im really interested in the neoprene one for the note 2. I've never ordered from eBay here in the Philippines. Does it get shipped to my door or do I have to pick it up from customs/post office and pay fees? The seller I assume is from Hong Kong?
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
No problemo. In case your interested in for an extra (or anyone) it will just be here (operative word on the will)

For those using BSE sp's, can they cover the whole face of the phone (given that the screen is curved)?
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
I've accepted the fact that shipping is dependent on the mood of the customs official in the post office. Sometimes single items need to be picked up and bulk gets delivered. Sometimes it's the other way around. It's just 40php extra anyway if picked up. It may or may not be delivered straight to your doorstep. It's from hk. I got them before getting my n4 last year so it may or may not be available now. Just monitor those 2 sellers in eBay. They're trustworthy
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Yes. I used Bse prior to spigen and the full screen is covered

[Nexus 4 General] junta_mpb:
I don't think the iPhone should be used in comparison because I feel it is way overpriced compared to other phones at its spec level. This is a fact more than a feeling, actually.

It seems our disagreement here is based on our perception of "overpriced". You are comparing the N4 to equivalents, and I am taking the perspective of it being heralded as a "real good deal". There is also a lot of speculation going on from your posts as well as mine, so I don't think this debate should continue.

Just to share, however, I think a 22k price point would be fair enough for me to buy it straight from LG.
