Apart from the wireless chargers supposedly available in true value shangri-la, would someone know if the energizer qi or Fatboy pillow is being sold here in PH? I have my nexus 4 since first week of December and wireless charging is the only feature i haven't tried so far. Thanks! :)
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
You could try to communicate with Gizmoshield in fb. She has quite a number of clients who can vouch for the products and ships as well. At least it's not an international purchase
[Nexus 4 General] mbolinao:
stay away from fatboy for now. it's good with Lumias but has a flaw with Nexus 4. the charge comes and goes. if you check youtube tests between Nexus 4 and fatboy, you'll see what I mean ;)

the energizer qi on the other hand, I believe works fine with nexus 4. I think I've seen one in Rox?

you gotta try ParanoidAndroid for ROM.

for Kernel, Franco is nice. really increases battery. there are a few hiccups I noticed though (but it has a new update which I think solves those hiccups and makes it smoother). For the meantime, Im back on stock kernel though (im keeping the Paranoid ROM still) and will probably try the new Franco.

that's new to me. I think i've heard that happening to Xbox only lol.

i've been reading Nexus 4 forums here and there for almost a month now but haven't encountered a single article/posts stating the 'red light' problem. I've left my phone a couple of times (or three) plugged overnight, and also charge it in car on long drives, and it's still rockin! ;)

Poetic bumper after 3 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
Awww. That's too bad. Now I'm having second thoughts about getting one. They did accept the issues with their initial batch of bumpers and says their recent releases are sturdier. At least that's what their Amazon page says.
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
The second revision of poetic still has issues. Mine separated as well
[Nexus 4 General] swiftden:
Yeah. Bought a ringke slim instead. Will receive it probably next week. Will probably hate it now that the back is not exposed anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
$5.81 if I remember correctly. There's a discount for Gcash amex users...

Still going strong. Although if it's a factor, I put my phone in a Mofi pouch. I read in another thread that his bumper separated in the usb area because of constantly removing the phone in pocket (which actually makes sense).

Is there a physical difference between the two batches? How did they send your replacement?

None. Only reinforced the adhesive but somehow it's not enough. I read there's a 3rd revision but I haven't confirmed
[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
Why should that make sense? The manufacturer should have known that people actually put their mobile phones in their pocket. What's the point of having a bumper that doesn't protect against minor, common abuse such as pocketing.

Really? That sucks haha. The one for gnex is awesome.

oh.. so i guess it's not just me... i tried using other browsers as well but still getting the same messed up page...

anyway, i'll be getting my Nexus 4 by tuesday... Any suggestion guys on which should i start up with the device? (unlocking bootloader, rooting, etc.)

i was wondering if i have to do some kind of backup first before i start to update it with the latest version... I'm using a Tf700 tablet, and on our device we have the NVFLASH on which can only be installed on the ICS bootloader (so we had to install NVFLASH first before upgrading to jellybean and so on...) is there like any "must-haves" to-do list before i get started on unlocking and rooting my Nexus 4? thanks a lot...

[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
No need for nvflash. If you plan on playing with a Nexus, just have the android sdk ready from google so you have the fastboot and adb files needed. A few posts back you'll see a link to a thread on proper flashing and rooting

[Nexus 4 General] shadow071506:

[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
Or if you have a Mac, you can follow this guide and, like me, use it to unlock and root your device. Trust me, unlocking your Nexus via adb and fastboot is WAY more satisfying than using a toolkit. :)
[Nexus 4 General] aybee23:
You can do an adb backup which doesn't require you to be root, as long as developer options is enabled in your device and USB debugging is turned on.

OFF-TOPIC: Smart Advertisement

Off-topic: Have you guys seen this Smart advertisement on YouTube? Just appreciating their choice of handset. :)

I don't know if someone is paying them for the product placement or if the carrier is just promoting the Nexus 4 because they have stocks available and they want people to know, but in any case, it's cool. If only chicks that look like that really dig the Nexus line, then that would be awesome!
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Nice one. It's very rare for a nexus device to be seen in ads here. It would be good to see some other in the mall holding this unit. The only other times I saw someone else using a nexus was when I met up with fellow enthusiasts.

Where I work (Makati), we have an unofficial N4 "special interest group" since we have around 10 employees with N4s (in the same building floor) and we share anything and everything under the sun related to this device. All sourced from different vendors though (MX, Kimstore, Google Play via JAC, and Google Play via relatives going home from the US hehe). Funny thing how my colleagues get sold with the N4 and decide to buy for themselves :p

Omg. I have the same bumper and so far it's doing good. I'm afraid it will have the same fate as your bumper's. Anyway, Gizmoshield will probably be selling the oem bumper for 1.5K, pretty expensive for an accessory.

Google Nexus 4 Question

Hi guys, I am just new here. 'Decided to register cause I am buying this great phone this coming weekends. I just want to know what's the best deal for me if I am planning to use my phone with a prepaid sim, want a not that really much warranty service but affordable one, in cash and secured unit.

I already inquired with LG booth in SM Megamall, their cash price for this is 2.2k. 'Don't know the services yet. Am I going to get this? or anyone in here can give me info for a more great deal?

Thanks ;)
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
It looks like the one being discussed in the bumper replica thread....

I'm thinking of just saving up for the Ringke Hybrid case. I did send an email for a replacement... Oh well :|
[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
Kimstore, brad.

Wasn't able to resist the 5k off promo by multiply. :)

Pretty expensive considering they're selling it for like 400 pesos in the US Play Store, and reviewers already think it's already a ripoff at that price point. Oh well, we can't have our pie and eat it too. :)

Sayang you just missed the multiply promo. I think I saw some advertisement at sulit.com offering "brand new" n4 for 20k. Still too much compared to what they sell it for in the States but hell, what can we do but grin and bear it. :)
[Nexus 4 General] ran495:
speaking of utilizing the nexus 4 to its full potential, anyone know what LTE bands globe is using?
[Nexus 4 General] shadow071506:
so u also availed the 5k off pla... i got mine in memoxpress :) almost the same price nung ky kimstore... but with the xtra warranty :) mine might arrive tomorrow :) looking forward to playing with it...

by the way, does anybody know where's a good place to cut their sim?
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.JC:
Thanks for the reply. I mean I was saying SM Megamall's LG's price is 22.2k not 2.2 hehe...

Anyway, about sulit.com, is it safe to buy from there? I was once able to read a thread about N4 saying that there's circling unit's of N4 which is from their trial releases somewhat like that. I am afraid I can get one with defects if getting a unit from sellers in sulit.com. Another thing is the warranty service cause I am considering that factor.
[Nexus 4 General] pac213:
Guys, speak english, baka masita tayo ng mga mods hehe. :)
[Nexus 4 General] stankyou:
Why cut it and risk damaging your sim when you can just go to your provider and buy a micro sim with your number intact for only 40 pesos. At least for Globe this is an option. Even for prepaid. Thats where i had mine.

Those looking at getting bumpers from buychina.com, how about we wait for actual reviews first. Those who ordered abroad still have to post their purchases.

[Nexus 4 General] shadow071506:
My network is sun.. so im not sure if they can do that... and nka plan xa eh... but the plan is registered under my tito's name... so im not sure if they would allow to change the sim if ako lang ang pupunta...

Nexus 4 problem :(

Hey guys, just got my 16GB Nexus 4. I had my brother in the US buy it for me straight from Google Play. My mom brought it back here in the Philippines and got it over to me just today. For some reason, the phone works perfectly fine EXCEPT it can't seem to detect my Globe microsim. I went to the Globe store and tested another microsim which also didnt work (both were confirmed functional after testing them in a different phone). Anyone else have this problem? And does anyone know how I can deal with this? Will LG philippines honor my warranty and give me a free replacement/repair or do I have to send this back to the US with my own money?
[Nexus 4 General] SonicYan:
Did you try turning it on and off when you inserted the SIM? Mine wouldn't detect the SIM either but after turning it on and off a couple of times, the SIM was derexted .
[Nexus 4 General] mikeybd:
Yup, I did. I tried that in the beginning when I noticed the issue and I tried it again several times after. No dice :(
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
You can bring it to lg but that's going to be at your own expense. They won't honor it. You could try to persuade them though and maybe you can get lucky
[Nexus 4 General] mikeybd:
Hmm, yeah, I figured as much. Probably gonna ask how much it costs to have it repaired tomorrow. I've narrowed it down to a defective SIM reader anyway which seems like a minor problem. Thanks for the help. Question though: will getting this repaired by an authorized LG service center locally affect/void my 12month international warranty? The manual didn't say anything about it.

Globe is using band 3 (1800 Mhz), which is sadly not the same spectrum the N4's LTE radio operates (band 4), so no LTE for us :(

What's the output? I'm using a socket that came with an old bluetooth headset and a generic usb-micro usb cable. It only outputs 0.75a and takes forever to charge but useful enough on long trips. If the LG charger can output considerably more, I might get one myself. As it is, I find the stock wall charger of the N4 slow that I just use the 2.0a charger that came with my N7.

Woah! just got my N4 and im in love. After more than 2 years of being stuck with my HTC Legend, I've finally tasted a jelly bean. :victory:

There has been heaps of improvements from the apps and they now run smooth, it felt like I was freed from prison hahaha!

Anyway, here's my story. I was kinda rooting for the S3 back then but when I saw the Google's ad release for N7 and N4, I was like, this is it... The most interesting part is the price tag which was $300, I immediately converted it to Pesos in my head without considering freight and tax additions etc., and I was thinking this phone is a bang for the buck. But when the online stores started to sell the N4 with the price pretty close to an S3 I started doubting and it made me do more research. Then I met the HTC Butterfly and I was lured by its 1080p capabilities, then I started to check S3 and then iPhone.... It felt like I was in a blackhole, which phone to choose, etc., and then I realized I had to step back and think about which phone fits my personality and lifestyle. A phone that could send text, mms, take and make calls. That should be it! Then I met the CM Flare, aside from its cheap, it is packing a decent spec sheet and I love the stock android UI, but then I realized I would most likely shift into another high end phone later on because I would have a lot of extra money from my phone budget if I would choose the Flare. Being practical, I added a list into my should-be phone requirements: It should be android, it should at least satisfy me for 2 years without being tempted to buy another newly released phone all throughout the 2-year period. So I researched even more and started watching youtube benchmark videos and VS videos, which brought me to a couple of videos that made me decide to buy the N4 right away, to cut if short both videos dusted off the S3 and the Droid DNA (Butterfly). So this is it, I believe that this phone is capable of satisfying me for 2 years. I can get the Android OS updates first hand. I have a phone that has a classy design. I have a phone that beats or in the same level with the S3 or Butterfly in terms of performance. And most important of all I have no money left, hahahaha! at least my phone budget. In the end, I bought a phone that is within my budget allotted what more could I ask for. :good:
