I bought my Gnexus from DBGadgets first week it came out here for 27.5k. But the price for the Gnex abroad, or US in particular that time was about the same. Hoping the LG nexus 4 is cheaper. 19-22k is very reasonable for me especially if it has warranty from LG Philippines.

But f you're going to sell it to me for 15-18k, I'll buy it from you though haha.
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
this got my attention. you have a particular place where they are sold at?
[Nexus 4 General] dycz21:
not a place but who?... they are online sellers and I have transacted with them before (not ebay). Transaction is not via delivery but facetoface meet up.

You can also check wanchai computer centre. I belve some shops there have nexus 4 that came from usa.
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Thanks for the heads up bro. Will give it a check
[Nexus 4 General] techfreak:
Hi guys,

Any updates yet on the ff.

1. What store will be selling nexus 4 officially or not

2. When they will start selling

3. How much will they sell

4. And if there are already any online resellers?
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Rumors are:

1. LG will officially sell

2. About Dec

3. 25k

4. Some units have popped up but I think they're pre-release units or something like test units. There are individual sellers that take pre-orders as well

Non rumors:

1. Smart mentioned they will release it. Widget mentioned they are waiting a few weeks on their orders
[Nexus 4 General] techfreak:
Thanks for the reply.

will smart be selling it unlocked? And can we buy it from them without a contract/postpaid options?

Or, having an existing postpaid plan, can we bug it directly as well?

I think i should be asking smart themselves but you guys might know the answer hehe
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
Your guess is as good as mine on that one

[Nexus 4 General] Flash05:
i saw here a post widget will sell nexus4. any price ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] techfreak:
Im guessing a little bit more than 20k but less than 25k for the 16gb variant.
[Nexus 4 General] vastac13:
This kind of "rare" thing had my heart pump-up!
[Nexus 4 General] Skanob:
This may burst someone's bubbles, but me and the gf are coming to close conclusions on prices that may not be, how can i say this, "acceptable" for everyone.

But here goes:

- N4 8gb will be close but "may" not be more than to 20k in Php.

- N4 16gb will be close but "may" not more than to 25k in Php.

- We are still thinking about selling the N7 and N10, may be depending on the demand/order

- All must be aware that LG and Google has stated that there is NO INTERNATIONAL WARRANTY for the phones/tablets. (Insert thoughts here, but with one simple answer below)

- if any way needed that phone needs to be sent back to the manufacturer, we will not be responsible for the fees/charges that will occur. Simply understand, we are not LG and Google or any large company that you may mention. We want these phones/tablets be available to the Filipinos.

If any of you are still interested, I simply ask for you to pm me here in xda. I do not want this to come out to tpc as I'm thinking that I will make this xda-members-exclusive only.
[Nexus 4 General] _azeroth_:
maybe next year for me.

I'm thinking that I will make this xda-members-exclusive only. - then they should confirm here. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Skanob:
Next stock will come in 2-3weeks based on info i found on the net.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Ppl were saying its unreasonable for the price to be so high...hate to say i told you so...but I looked into selling a few to some people back in the Phil...but after calculating how much it costs me to buy then ship and still make some sort of compensation for my time...while keeping the price reasonable it ended up being close to what LG will end up selling it for coupled with no international warranty...I know ppl want to save money but you gotta accept the fact it isn't going to be that cheap if you truly want the phone...if I was goin back in a month or so then I would probably had picked up a few since there would be no shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] techfreak:
I would have to agree with that. So it's pretty much going to be around 20 to 25k for online resellers as well since google offers the cheap price only in google play store.

If it would have been a physical store, then i bet the price will be higher.
[Nexus 4 General] junta_mpb:
Ill likely get mine once its available in HK; previous Nexus devices were available for order there, if I remember correctly.
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
I wonder if there's a difference in the side skins. I haven't seen much complaints on the front and back protectors being affected by bumpers...
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
As a personal rule, bumpers or cases won't do well with skins. There's a bigger chance of peeling. When I use cases, either I carefully place them on and not do a regular remove and install if I have a skin on or I remove the skin totally except for the back or front if I placed it. The sides will most likely peel off unless the case/bumper is loose enough

[Nexus 4 General] exdas:
Bse is sending me one. I emailed them about a little flaw in their case optimized one and they sent me a bumper optimized one without me asking. Ill post a pic when it gets here sometime during feb. Hahahaha

[Nexus 4 General] dancedreamfly:
For those who ordered direct from BSP, did you get charged by customs? Or was the package/envelope delivered straight to your door step?
[Nexus 4 General] exdas:
Well when I put on the poetic it bubbled up. Thats it. Had to apply some solution to the area but i got it fixed.

It was sent directly to my doorstep. Its shipped in an envelope and looks just like a letter. I doubt customs will even bother "holding" it.
[Nexus 4 General] yethz:
Seen enough cases and bumpers for the few pages now, have u guys tried moles mods for the screen colors on our N4?

U guys should try it, eye popping colors for our True IPS Display. Im using the init.d script by the way so i dont have to flash or overwrite my harsh kernel.

Cheers guys. I had enough with the bumpers thingy. No flaming on my part but I just u to also experience it. Thanks.

The zips posted on the thread are kernels in themselves right? How do I go about using the init.d script only? I'm on harsh kernel too.
[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
I think they are stock kernel with the color calibration.
[Nexus 4 General] wtfshouldidonow:
Would you mind sharing your init.d script? :D
[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
Most custom kernels have been playing around with these colors so you can try them without using scripts. If you really do need them just browse the thread posted above and you'll drown in them.
[Nexus 4 General] wtfshouldidonow:
I know that, but the ones in the thread are kernels. The codes that were put changed values that were alien to me and I'm afraid that I might make a mistake in typing in those values, thus resulting to damage to ky screen. A simple sharing of an init.d script that has been confirmed working by a fellow harsh kernel user and both a fellow citizen of the same nationality is actually more preferred.

Copy and save it to any filename u want, but it is advised to name it like, 77lgpreset

Without any file extension name.

Copy that file to;

system/etc/init.d

And set permissions to 777. Your kernel must support init.d script.

Restart to take effect and enjoy the True IPS Display on ur Nexus 4.

Feel Free to Use our N4 naked

Hi guys,

Want to share something for our buddies out there planning to buy this great phone.

LG Phillipines is offering this in cash of 2,240 having a warranty for 1 year but accidental damage like dropping the phone is not covered. And so my face disappointed when I heard that from their personnel. So she added further that they are also offering an extended warranty service for the cost of 1,000 extending the warranty of the phone to 2 years and availing it also covers accidental damage like dropping the phone even breaking the glass also with it, you can upgrade your phone when another great phone is released.

So I got my n4 for 23,240 and feeling free to use it with it's Spigen Ultra Dual SP (950 from Applewerkz) and enjoying the sexy style of the phone and the nice grip the side cover offers.

:victory:
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
Isn't this the same offer as Memoxpress? Then again they do have the same operator right (if I remember the past posts correctly)
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.JC:
I am not familiar with memoexpress service eh... sorry... Anyone???
[Nexus 4 General] bugnoy710:
It's the same :) I got the same deal only we opted to pay through Citibank (took advantage of 24mos. 0% install...). I'm not sure if the Citibank offer is still up though...

Regardless the accidental warranty really puts your mind in ease...
[Nexus 4 General] stankyou:
Well if I am going to get that extended warranty that covers accidental drops, I aint gonna invest on protectors anymore. :p Hehehe

via xda app
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.JC:
Haha.. Then intentionally drop your phone that your sure that the force is enough to break the glass on the last one day of the warranty to get a new stock of phone without any scratch? I think that's also a bad idea :D because I don't want to risk that my phone is being repaired. I just get that extended warranty for a real case of emergency :)

I have to go to Makati post office in Buendia again. Those guys in customs overcharge you if you ship electronics. Good thing is I can pretend that it's just a document.
[Nexus 4 General] j.go:
Assuming you meant "first time you've heard of USPS international mail," it stands for US Postal Service. That's why he has to pick it up from the post office. I've received packages for pledges in kickstarter and they've all been sent via USPS. It's the cheapest way to ship internationally. I usually pay P40 for processing, but I've never ordered electronics, so good luck with that. My orders were mostly books and once, a game disc from play-asia.
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
I normally get small items from eBay via USPS. They usually take 3-6 weeks. This one got there a week after purchase. Too bad it didn't get delivered to my doorstep.
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
What I meant was it's the first time I've heard that bse needs to be picked up. I regularly order things online. I've done courier and regular post. All of my previous bse orders are just placed in a regular sized letter envelop which does not require any post office travels.
[Nexus 4 General] j.go:
I don't think I've ever had anything that shipped via USPS get delivered to my doorstep. I've had to pick them up every time. Of course, none of them ever fit in a letter envelope.

Maybe it now comes in a bigger box...? :shrug:
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
I guess my theory is true that it's dependent on which side of the bed the customs or post office people wake up on. Lol. I'm still baffled at times when the postman would bring me stuff (multiple items) without charge and sometimes send a notice (single item) that I need to pick up something.
[Nexus 4 General] GalaxyNexusPH:
I got 4 total body case optimized nexus 4 protectors and 1 Galaxy S3 total body case optimized skin. Will probably sell 2 or 3 of the N4 skins this weekend. Will post it in sulit.com

So true that.

Ah... maybe they thought that somewhere in between all those stiff thingies inside the somewhat, I assume, thickish envelope was some $$$$. So they were "obligated" to do a "random" search of the package. Just in case, you know, there was some contraband.

anyone pairing PA with francos latest kernel? if so, hows battery life on it? Anyone on PA's krait yet?
[Nexus 4 General] astrall:
PA with stock kernel alone gives better battery the most customizable rom closest to stock. Pair it with custom kernels like franco will give even better battery and performance (it's the goal of all kernels anyways.) :)

Krait version of PA was made for benchmark freaks. The changes are not noticeable but the developer said that the changes are for performance and battery (rom integrated so you can use any kernel and retain the Krait optimization). :)

I used PA from the time I received my N4 and used every nightly it released, so you can take my word for it. Always flash the latest, atleast if you want to be on the latest features. I'm using the krait version now with stock PA kernel, battery is good. Can last a day. :)

BTW, I received my new case yesterday. It's called MyBat Hybrid TUFF Case. I bought it from amazon. ( http://amzn.com/B00B7WJKLA )

But one thing i really noticed was the screen and colors is awesome, its like im using mods that was been going the past days.

I didnt install any apps, all are defaults setup and configurations. Of course i wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing 4.2.1 and then update it to 4.2.2...

Now, im using matrix kernel 6.5 with stock rom 4.2.2 and e015 touch driver, and see how these goes after a day or two.
