Non of the cases look pretty IMO, they all take away the beauty of the phone. I've never had a case or screen protector before but with it being all glass I have one for indoor purposes only. If I'm going out then I leave it bareback. (I tend to drop it indoors as I get sleepy from medication)

I went from Voda to Giffgaff nearly three years ago now :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
It's run off o2 isn't it? What's coverage like?
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
you should consider tesco 15 pounds pay monthly deal too if you don't need unlimited Internet they offer 1000 mins 5000 text 2gb data for 15 and I think their Internet speed a bit better than giffgaff
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
O2 has great 2g coverage as it's been around the longest alongside Voda. My backup sim is Gg. But like with all the major Networks it depends on *Your* specific location as they all have 'Not spots'.

[Nexus 4 General] BrutalUK:
Has anyone here had to send their Nexus to Regenersis for repairs? Only asking cos I managed to smash my N4s screen and LG told me to send it to them. I got the impression from them that this is a fairly quick turnaround on such a repair. But guess what 2 weeks later I STILL have no phone, NO repair and to make matters worse they have lost my phone within their repair depot up in Glasgow. It's not been booked on the system and my IMEI number doesn't exist to them. I'm friggen annoyed! Plus they say they'll phone me and they never phone back. I'm chasing them all the time to find out what is going on. I know they have it because I sent it via Royal Mail special delivery and it was tracked to them and someone git there signed for it. Maybe its a one off but I don't know how much longer I can use a simple old phone (Nokia 5800). I miss my N4!:(
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
I'd say go with three in case you change phone and want LTE you can get that with three. I doubt giffgaff will have 3G for a while.
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
I'm with voda till July but getting views now as their sim only deals are crap. We'll see
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
I'm on 3, have been for 4.5yrs now. Can't fault them even when I first moved to them when they had less than half the base stations they do now the signal was great.

The speed is and always has been superior to any other network, I've never experienced any of the so called horror stories that the 'Network Snobs' tell. Even think the infamous Indian call centre staff are great.

Indeed it is O2 and in my area the coverage is as good as Vodafone
[Nexus 4 General] Nigeldg:
Coverage itself is great but data speeds are mediocre at best. My dad's GS3 gets an easy 14Mbps going up to around 20 on three and in the same place I get just 5. It's enough for me but since there seems to be some sort of ridiculous craze (especially in the US) where nothing below 10 is good enough, some may want the warning. Either way, can't beat it for £10 a month.
[Nexus 4 General] yuki71:
Giffgaff is fantastic

Never looked back since I've been using them

Great community to help

You'll have to manually put in your APN settings for the nexus though

hi there I've got the return shipping bag from Google to send my phone back but do I need to do anything else? I've put my phone with box and everything in the bag now should I phone tnt for pickup? will tnt pick up my phone at a specific time?
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Yeah phone them up, I'm sure they ask you or give you a window for pickup
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
As prev stated I have Gg as my backup sim leftover from when I joined them (about 6 months after they started.) I managed to earn £100 over 6 months at the time I didn't have a pc/laptop did it all on my 3.5" Samsung Omnia :D

As other guys have said great community IF you don't mind having to deal with the whole forum thing if something goes wrong. It's not everyone's cup of tea.

Again as previously stated yes great 2g but nowhere near as fast as 3 for data.

Example - I've just (11pm) downloaded AOKP b4 ROM (177mb ?) at what is still peak time and having only had the Nexus⁴ since Feb1 I know how fast the Galaxy S used to take to download a file this size (2yr contract on Galaxy S) and the difference is amazing - it took little more than a minute thanks to 3's DC HSDPA & the same enabled Nexus⁴.

The combination of the 2 just blows me away. The same download on the Galaxy would have been at least 3mins.

Yea I like three because of their DC- hspa

[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
I think I'm gonna be going for 3, purely for the support aspect (and the fact I'll be able to get 3G at my parents house, o2 is crap)

Thanks guys! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Eclipse_Droid:
I just got a 3 contract yesterday.

£15.99 a month and a 12month sim only contract.

For that I get all you can eat data, 600 mins and 5000 texts.

Pretty damn good deal imo
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
That's exactly what I'm looking at. I've got a few more months to see out with Voda but they can't compete with Three with regards to data
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Hey Eddy. Nice to see you jump on bandwagon too :)

Giving up voda?
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
Think so. They've been good but the 500MB I get a month isn't doing it anymore! :D I have to stick to WiFi so it'll be nice not to be so contained

Quick Q - I see threads saying CWM doesn't stick if you flash it. Is this still correct cause a lot of the guides were written a while ago so wondering if it's still applicable? I'm going to stick CM 10.1 on anyway but just wanting to get a heads up :)
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Keep in mind 3uk suffers a lot when in the building. I went with them first, but then jumped to Orange. I wish they offered more data, but the deal i was getting was unbeatable plus reception is tons better inside the buildings since they have gsm to fall back to. T-mo have same coverage but are better than Orange with data allowance.

Edit. Just use twrp.
[Nexus 4 General] brilldoctor:
Anyone know if anything like Google wallet (think visa were talking about something) is coming to the UK? Also anyone found any DC hspa on o2
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
There's only Orange and Vodafone coverage (both 2G) where I spend a significant amount of time, which means I'm better off continuing with my existing T-Mobile contract: 3GB data, 300 mins, 300 texts, unlimited landline mins at £12/month (includes £4/month discount for not taking a handset upgrade).
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
You'd be better off with Virgin sim only imho. Same coverage, more data.
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
I don't like it! :p

Indoor reception where I am now with Voda is flakey so not too fussed about that - I just want a decent data allowance
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
I'd rather use 4ext, but dev is in hiding atm. Last thing he reported was that he is rewriting 4ext completely. Still, imho twrp is better than cwm.
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
Might have to give it another go. Just used to the look/feel of CWM I can do it with my eyes closed!
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
I also wanted to use cwm but it's not as good as twrp :(
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
Just got my shipping email! :D
[Nexus 4 General] kennynguyen20:
anyone living near North Greenwich? im currently on GiffGaff and thinking about switching to either T-mobile or Three? anyone have any idea what's the coverage like in that area?
[Nexus 4 General] nowster:
No I wouldn't. With Virgin SIM only at £12/month, I'd only get 1GB of data. You only get unlimited data at £15+.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Like I said before it depends on *your* location. Also as I said before (& I'm in a better position than you as I've been with 3 for 4½ years) there is nothing wrong with 3's reception - I have NEVER had any issues with it.

In fact I left Orange because I couldn't get a signal indoors at my flat - & I stuck it out for 5yrs thinking "surely they will upgrade the network soon" yeah right !

Orange are a joke and a terrible company.

** you see what I did there ? ** ;)

It's all down to personal location & experience - they (3) wouldn't be allowed to advertise 95% coverage if they didn't have it

I'm guessing they mean the nav bar DPI (at least I read it like that)

The xperia launcher is for a 1080p screen - higher resolution than the nexus 4.

Never mind though I've just flashed it without any fitment problems.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Oh no I actually flashed the recovery itself and it didn't stick. I have no idea why.
[Nexus 4 General] Morganator:
Mine too! :D I ordered on Saturday afternoon (18:00) too so that was pretty fast!
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
It's by design.

You have to remove a couple of files if you want it to stick (recovery-from-boot.p and install-recovery.sh)
[Nexus 4 General] chrisastrous:
Are you taking about the xperia launcher?
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Nope about cwm but rusty said why :) I flashed twrp manually and used that.

Lol lost in translation then. I was talking about the launcher and the dpi

Folks, I'd really appreciate some advice. I was on a crappy old Blackberry before with 2G, so I'm not used to decent download speeds. However, I've found that the average download speed I'm achieving on the Nexus 4 with a Three all-you-can-eat-data monthly sim plan is around 360kbps, with the absolute maximum being a bit over 1mbps if I'm really lucky. Is there something I might be doing wrong?! Could it be a hardware problem? Or are Three somehow shafting me?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
You have to flash the Revert Recovery Disabler file [it's a signed zip] to stop your Nexus⁴ from reverting to stock recovery after you’ve flashed CWM Recovery.

It's the network. Probably really congested or the signal strength is low :) Did you try it in different locations? I'm getting 8mb down and 4mb up with giffgaff in north london :)

[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
As other poster said it's a network issue caused by congestion. There is likely a reason for this and that is maybe one of the masts in your vicinity is down/faulty.

You can have 3 check this for you by either calling them or posting your postcode on their blog (mods will remove it) there is also a maintenance/postcode checker but it's not very reliable.

Which is fine once you have CwM successfully installed but to actually get the recovery to ``stick`` first time (which I think is what he is asking) you need to use the Revert Recovery zip file.

It is mentioned in several of the guides - unless things have progressed since 4 weeks ago when I did mine (the toolkits have this function built in.)

I uninstalled and reinstalled the speedtest.net app and fiddled with a few things (can't bloody remember what now!) Didn't make a huge difference but I was getting around 1mb at home then. Tested it a few times on the way into work in Camden and it seems to be going up and down. The very fastest speeds I'm getting are around 5mb, but more often around 1mb. Could that be normal for fairly central London??

Anyone else experienced this?

I called Google and they confirmed that the order is processing but I'm not sure I believe them.

I had exactly the same when I ordered yesterday, but it was delivered today no problem.

If you refresh the page which says "oops there was a problem" it should load the full order confirmation, it did for me at least.

Bugger didn't refresh it.

I got my Google wallet email and the bank said that the funds have been reserved, never thought to refresh the page as it was a payment lol.

Does the full order page have any additional information other than the order reference?

Hoping that the order went through okay now, mind you Google say yes and the bank are saying that the funds are reserved.

whoops! i got the micro sim from T-Mobile for free because i had the upgrade with them last 2 months.

anyway, just wondering. currently my plan has 250mb data allowance and unlimited browsing&surfing internet. I'm really get confused by them when they are telling me 250mb is for downloading and uploading. Do this means if i use google map, whatsapp, facebooking, it consider using the data allowance?

Do you guys think 250mb is sufficient? i do use wireless at home and office. How much data are you guys using at this moment?
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
250 mb data:rolleyes::rolleyes: although I use WiFi too when I'm home I use at least 1.5gb of data
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
So far this month I have used 2.7GB I would usually use this in a month - my data allowance was 3GB on my old contract which ended last month. (there are 12 days left before NMA - New Monthly Allowance starts) I am now on unlimited.

You need to be able to use the phone not be restricted by data allowance. You can't always connect to WiFi networks.

Browsing/surfing uses sweet fa - that's why they don't mind you using 'Unlimited' amounts (I tested this when I first got a dongle a couple of years ago - I browsed for hours & hours and so long as you don't download or upload you are not using much data)

The 250mb includes maps, Google +, fb, gmail (my gmail had clocked up 15mb so far this month) then there's Titanium, Dropbox

etc.

This is a very powerful Smartphone built for the internet (along with the apps) you don't wanna be worrying about 250mb - if that's all I had I would literally put it into Aeroplane mode (turn the data off)

i used to have unlimited internet with T-Mobile. However nowadays, they don't have the deal where you only get the unlimited boaster internet.
