[Nexus 4 General] reicute789:
Uhmmm. There was a inviguard or invishield at sm bacoor before, they have a sample of their sp. I think its too thick for my liking. It has a rubber feeling to it. I'd like a matte cause it's slippery and minimizes finger prints.
[Nexus 4 General] musashihatred:
Yeap. Its rubbery and quite thick but slimmer than a case. And bump proof.

Matte's good. Smooth surface but display is smudgy-moistury. So i use clear instead.

Hi. i was trying to find answers by myself so i wont have to bother you guys. But I've had no luck, so I'm asking it.. i bought my N4 from Google play store and I'm going home to the Philippines tomorrow. i was just wondering if the stock charger for the N4 would work on the standard 220v sockets we use in the PH.. i dont want to burn my phone up LOL..

*Currently I have a Capdase Matte screen protector for the front and the stock screen protector with the IMEI for the back part. I hate the Matte because it reduces the screen brightness and dulls the screen colors.

---------- Post added at 12:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:33 PM ----------

S3 to N4?

If you want the ultimate / google eexperience or customizations and bloat free - N4, if not dont. :) N4 is for the ultimate google lover (for me) bang for the buck as always.

I prsonally think N4 can still last till next year. Quad core wont be that old.

But if you want something new i would personally tell you wait for N5 than take s4. I was a previous Samsung qnd HTC user and was never been happy til i took the Nexus boat (GNex and N4)

:) good luck

[Nexus 4 General] :
Hey guys.. I managed to hard brick my Nexus 4. Now it won't turn on, can't get into fastboot or even download mode. It does not power up. I bought it here, so it has a local warranty. But.. I wonder if it's still repairable. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
What did you actually do?
[Nexus 4 General] :
I made a very careless mistake. I was upgrading TWRP to v2.6.3.0 But instead of using a flashable zip for Nexus 4, I mistakenly used the flashable zip for my Asus Transformer. Therein, I put the latest TWRP image and flashed, and boom! My phone is dead. I heard manufacturers use different partitions, maybe the recovery image was flashed to the bootloader partition because that zip must have used a different script, or maybe. I can't even get into "download mode". When I try to go to bootloader or download mode, I only get a flashing red led. The phone is absolutely dead.
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Ouch! You can take it to LG but you'll be paying for it since it's not part of the warranty.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Yep, I already took it to LG Service Center an hour ago. The technician already disassembled my phone when I left. I hope they can fix it without replacing the main board. Since you are a developer, let me ask if you know whether or not Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 and Nexus 4 use different or same partition for bootloader and recovery? And what are the chances of damaging the hardware in case of flashing recovery to a wrong partition. I'm not a noob, but I don't know much about low level stuff in Android.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] musashihatred:
How much will it cost?

Wanted to go there as well, change the bezel , power button and glass back -_-
[Nexus 4 General] Gnome:
Since they are different boards and differnet makes, most likely one program wont communicate with one another. It's like installing a 64bit OS on a 32bit system, it will not boot and most likely harm the hardware. But for your issue, it's just a simple jump of electricity to turn it back on and have a way to access it. As far as I know bootloaders cannot be harmed or overwritten by a recovery designed for a different device since commands and scripts in android are just the same, it only differs on what type of device your using. Updater scripts are all the same, so if you flashed a wrong recovery in your device, it is most likely flashed on the correct partition. Although it will not boot since it's intended for a different device.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Repair must be free because it's still under warranty. But the manager said, they need to revive the device first, then authenticate the warranty to determine whether I have to pay or not. Also, some services are not covered under the warranty, but when I bought it, they said parts and services are free. In short, I don't know yet, it depends on whether it's repairable or not.

However, bezel is attached to the whole front frame and glass cover. Changing it will cost you at least PHP 6,000. That's according to the LG rep I asked when I had my power button repaired few weeks ago. My phone had a dented frame from an accidental drop, so I was supposed to have it replaced. But now it's dead, so we'll see..

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 PM ----------

I see, I see. That's all wanted to know. Thanks a lot. I actually planned to purchase suitable screw drivers because I wanted to fix it myself. I found several tutorials on how to revive a hard bricked Nexus 4. There's no guarantee but it'll probably be worth the fun doing it. But I don't want to do it at the expense of wasting my warranty.

One more thing, it might also be actually a RLOD (red light of death) issue. Some users experience bricks because battery went way below the threshold, cutting the power supply to the logic board in the process. Such can only be revived by removing the battery and charging it with a higher voltage. I said that because recently, I flashed my phone like crazy. I was working on a fix of the framework-res and SystemUI apks where changing the Navigation Bar size renders the "ime back key" very tiny when keyboard is in landscape mode.

Because of that, I experienced misreadings of battery status, like several times my battery was around 27-30% percent but the phone suddenly turned off due to power depletion. I suspected that when I flashed the recovery, the battery got empty and corrupted the system. Or perhaps, the battery is really dead.

But these are all speculations. I'll be able to ask the LG technician what happened sooner or later.
[Nexus 4 General] musashihatred:
oh crap. Got my unit from UK and has an international warranty but they wont accept it. LOL.

well ill just go there
[Nexus 4 General] :
You would have to send it to the UK to avail of its warranty. The purpose of our distribution system and the registration of all electronic products at NTC is to keep track of warranties and to prohibit gray market products to protect the interest of local distributors/merchants. Your phone is not under any Philippine distributor, naturally, LG Philippines will not honor it in respect to its Philippine distributor, because if it does so, it would be tantamount to tolerance of smuggled products, which sadly, includes those which are purchased abroad even if they're not meant to be sold here. From a business perspective it makes sense, but to me it's commercial prejudice. In other countries, it's so easy to have a Nexus device replaced via Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). It's not applicable in the Philippines. But hopefully, in the future...
[Nexus 4 General] musashihatred:
that's what im sad about. Philippines doesnt authorize international warranty. well, pretty happy i got it cheap;.

how much do you think would it cost me to replace my Power button + Glass back ?:D
[Nexus 4 General] :
The price I quoted to you earlier was Davao price. If in Manila, it must be significantly cheaper. Based on international pricing, back cover plus power button would be around 2-3 thousand. It shouldn't be much higher than that in Manila. I'm a local gadgets retailer here in Davao, so as a piece of advice, always go to LG and never to third party vendors. Cheers!

Hi guys i am a globe prepaid subscriber for over 10 yrs now but i willing to give others a try.

May i ask what sun and smart has to offer and what speeds are u getting.

I get an easy 3.5-5mbps during the peak hours and 6-7mbps off peak with globe on their 999 php unli plan for a month
[Nexus 4 General] apatal:
My suggestion is: stay with Globe. If you've been getting those speeds, that means you're in a good coverage area for that network. I'm in Smart, I use an All-In plan and usually stay within the Taguig-BGC and Makati area, and I'm lucky to get 1Mbps if I get any connection at all.

I have the first version with the big blue light on top. Still working
[Nexus 4 General] kenshinta:
This is the model I took, the cheaper one.

Note for future buyers:

Position the phone like in the pic - higher up, away from the bottom with the status LEDs. It will charge properly.

If you place it flush to the bottom, the pad will detect the unit - the nexus will also confirm it is wirelessly charging - but it wont actually push any power.
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
I've always wanted to check out the newer one because of the blue light in the old version. It's too bright. Hehehe. What is the output of the new one? Is it higher than 500mAh?

Where'd you buy qi chargers? Ive been looking but cant get one in cdr king. What branch??
[Nexus 4 General] thephantom:
The large one in trinoma has both versions. It's the one on the ground floor with the entrance outside of the mall. The one in greenbelt one also has them
[Nexus 4 General] kenshinta:
As per currentwidget is puts out 500-600ma typically, with intermittent lows of 300 and highs just up of 600.

Tested other is chargers - n4 stock 1.2kma, bundled 1.5kma, cheap 500mak - the max the pad does is around 600ma.

It also seems to actually smart and doesn't overcharged - at 90-95% the current drops to 300ish until full charge.

I haven't made the pad turn on its full charge led yet, maybe it doesn't work after all.

ed dev

It's difficult to brick but you can't say it's 100% brick proof. There's a significant number of Nexus 4 owners in xda who hard-bricked their phones for several reasons. Thanks for your suggestion but it only works for soft-bricked devices. There's no difference between pressing the power button and volume down button for an exact duration or longer time, on a technical perspective. Anyway, LG has has replaced the whole motherboard of my phone for FREE. So, there's no problem..

any updates on the official release of this from LG Philippines? went to lg megamall earlier and was told that it will arrive this december. kinda doubtful now since last november they told me that it will be released on the first week of december.

I am thinking that as long as people in the US are still waiting for their device, we ain't gonna be seeing it in stores anytime soon.

[Nexus 4 General] techfreak:
I think it does not work that way. No offense.

I believe that there is already a specific date of release for every continent. It is just that US release of stocks is at a deficit at the moment.

Otherwise, kimstore would not be able to sell it this early.

Manufacturing is done per batches per specific region. If i am not mistaken. Maybe some1 from manufacturing company can confirm. They dont just produce and deliver it to wherever as long as they have stocks.
