Yes its a simcard issue reinsert after removing, I am also on vodafone mumbai, was getting the same issue on my nexus4, just reinserted the sim and then works properly, I had also called vodafone cust care they said there is a technical up gradation going on hence data fluctuation is happening.

I purchased gadget shield whole body screen protector, applied it today , believe me its awesome, atleast great than dry scratch guards if u install it properly, took me approx 2 hours to apply and now i have a perfectly invisible guard with some micro bubbles which will get off in 1-2 days.

nexus 4 data connectivity issue

I got a new sim Card..still the same issue.

The data doesnt fluctutate it just turns on and off randomly..get my whatsapp messages and others in bulk after a long time..thats the issue
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I have the same issue with Whatsapp atleast but on wifi. On screen off , i don't get notifications for new messages at all unless i unlock screen, even though my wifi has been set to be stay on during sleep also. No such problem when on 3g.

However upon searching on xda, this is a known issue with JB 4.2.2. I have installed a wifi stay awake app from Play store and so far the issue has been there, it just works for a few mins.

As for your mobile network, i believe its a newtork issue.
[Nexus 4 General] rommelkhan:
nexus 4 data connectivity issue

Yea the WIFI issue is a known issue.i read about it..

About mobile network ..yea i suppose its a network issue.:(

Might try an Airtel card and see if it works..

If there are any other solutions or any additional APN settings that needs to be done.??
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
From your conversations, it looks like you did not clearly follow instructions of niraj30518 and adidas007.

Its not about new sim cards.

Switch off the phone. Take out the same. Re-insert it. Good luck :)
[Nexus 4 General] gurasees:
Fingers crossed

I ordered 2 nexus 4 16gb devices from the play store on 18th march using SBI credit card,i am still stuck at pre-ordered with 1 bullet.Reading the last few pages of the forum have made me worry about my order getting cancelled too.

I hope i am lucky enough and my order goes through.

Has anyone else been waiting for this long(after 15th march)??

[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Vodafone does not have their own 3g network in Bangalore. They ride on airtels network. This problem is caused by technical issues when this "handover" happens (info from Vodafone store manager& data customer care). For me it's so bad that when 3g is enabled I lose network signal. My friends nexus on Airtel has flawless data. (assuming your issue is when using 3g).
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
why don't you order it from ebay and have shipped by Borderlinx/PPO. Much more convinient and hassle free. Don't attempt to use a virtual card to buy. You'll be stuck with frustrations to begin with.
[Nexus 4 General] vigoos:
Well I personally find Vodafone 3G fast but is expensive (250 bucks a gig). Docomo is good scheme wise. Airtel is worst price wise. Idea has got bad speeds.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I agree completely! Used to live in Bangalore till a year back and Docomo was very very good. Good speeds and reasonable rates. But now back to Delhi and unfortunately no Docomo here! :(

Airtel has the best network in delhi as far as my experience is but more expensive than all other operators. However so far not a single problem using their 3g, good and consistent speeds I get. Its 255 for 1GB.
[Nexus 4 General] Shin2_D`:
eBay+ shipping total expense would cost me more than 28k :(

Guys, I've just deleted yet another selling attempt. One more selling attempt and user will be infracted. It has been said many times and some of you have serious difficulty with understanding,

If you want to sell, use swappa.com as has been said here: http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/xda-makes-swappa-its-official-marketplace/

It's my last warning.

[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
Hey,

Don't give up.

You can't trust from anyone other than Google playstore. I have heard a lot of vendors selling used ones, branding them as new

Create an another anonymous account using VPN.

While creating new account, when google asks for alternate id, give your's friend's one

When it asks for phone number, give ur parent's, not yours

For credit/ debit card, use a completely different one.

Change your destination address by creating a new borderlinx/ PPO box account.

Try to convince yourself that you are not what you were, yesterday :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
It still wont help. Even if they dont cancel it, they wont ship it. Google has brought few policy changes and you just dont wanna feel happy by having an order on preorder status.
[Nexus 4 General] rommelkhan:
Yup in banagalore ..when using 2g or 3g..when 3g your right it disconnects more.so ticked only 2g..less frequent disconnects..but it takes hell Lotta time to send even one message over the internet..will try with airtel Sim card and see what happens..fingers crossed..

---------- Post added at 08:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:55 PM ----------

Brother how many times shld I remove the card and insert..its no use..I tried switching off and removing and inserting again..just to tick off that attempt too..but in vain..also am not able to alter the APN setting APN type.altering them either totally disconnects the network data..or APN goes invisible
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Ok.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* , choose phone information, go down there will be a drop down menu, choose wcdma preferred. Then click on run a ping test. Hopefully this should work
[Nexus 4 General] rommelkhan:
That was the first thing I did bro..no use..trying every single mode since yesterday..still no luck..

Will try a different network Sim Tomm.if it goes off well and good..if not,I'd write it down as an hardware error..and just weep..cauz can't repair because no support in India..

If there is any other solution or a fix..feel free to answer..thanks for the help
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
I've been struggling with this for about 2 months. I'll have Dodgy 3g n then will lose network. I try an Airtel sim n get galloping network. Finally decided to port to Airtel, after 9 years on Vodafone
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
Hi all,

Many like me were stuck with US playstore for a while.

I did a few tricks to switch back to Indian playstore.

1) First I deleted my gmail account in phone settings.

2) After that I again reinstalled in phone, but this time I entered my Indian address in wallet account from the phone when prompted

3) After that, I cross checked my PC, where I was asked by Google to verify my mobile number, I was sent a secret code to enter, because of suspicions of identitity theft.

4) Even after that, it still showed US playstore in mobile.

5) What I do is, I make a transaction through PC in playstore. Suddenly everything changes and I was charged in Indian rupees.

6) I check my Google Playstore in mobile, it has changed to Indian.

7) I cancel my transaction within 15 minutes and the amount was refunded. :D

Wow!! Finally to Indian playstore :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Ashwa:
I found a site jadopado.com. they selling n4 8gb for 18k+. Should I go with it ?

BTW ishopinternational is asking URL for quote, should I have to enter us play store link ?
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
You can go with jadopado

No need of entering the link. Just write there, Google devices not available in India yet

2nd Nexus 4

Guys just ordered a 2nd Nexus 4 just now..1st was on 31st Jan used HSG...now buying for a friend this time will be using borderlinx... Lets c if my order goes through or it gets cancelled...

Will update here as i get the updates...
[Nexus 4 General] Ashwa:
Thanks for reply. I know that jadopado won't ask any URLs. My concern is that for ishopinternational.

In the same way is jadopado is safe.
[Nexus 4 General] gurasees:
I've used both sites before,apart from delays and not so good status updates Ishopinternational is a great service provider.I ordered a 16gb nexus 4 and it was just perfect(sealed). :D

I used jadopado about a month ago to get HTC one x for my friend,service is good and fast but i was charged way too much customs when i ordered using jadopado. :(

I dont care about the looks of the phone anymore. Can anybody suggest a case that is protective & does not peel off the screenguard?

Hey guys, has anyone ordered any case from eBay.com? I see there are few sellers who ship fom china, prices are reasonable and shipping is free, but I have one doubt, do I have to pay any customs duty for them when I get it in India, talking about case which cost about 10 dollars.

Please let me know if anyone has any experience of ordering thru eBay.com

You need not pay customs, if its as low as 10 dollars. Most of the times, total charges will be inclusive of customs also. I had procured USB cables from China without any hassles.

I applied my xtreme guard a week ago right after my phone arrived. It took me 45 mins to to apply it properly. A rookie mistake that i didnt was trying to apply it on the wrong side, didnt realise untill i was abt to put it on my phone.

Pro:

Installation is pretty simple and straight unless u have slippery hands.

The screen guard fits off pretty well. i am impressed with the way it covers the n4's sexy curves.

I had removed and reapplied it to get proper sit and it was all perfect.

Gud protection,

Con

Its a Major Dust & Fingerprint Magnet I hav clean the screen with wet cotten atleast thrice in a week.

It sticks off slightly on glass desk's. Sometimes get a feeling that if i lift the phone quickly, the screen guard might rip-off... its just my feeling.

The Tacky feeling was bad in the start, but its reduced and now feels better, lot better than earlier.

My verdict: 8/10 coz its worth every penny...
[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
After shipment exception pops up, things move fast because it is a way to make their system realize that the package has already been delayed too much and now, it needs to reach the receiver as soon as possible, Attaching my tracking screenshot which will suggest that you will get your nexus a day after tomorrow or Teusday (because of the weekend) as I got mine.

Hello, I am planning to buy a Nexus 4. Once the product arrives at the forwarder, what do we have to do to get it shipped with the proper customs amount. Do we have to collect it from the Customs office or will it be delievered.
[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
Ask the forwarder to attach the Google Play Store invoice with the $ amount mentioned. Google sends just the packing slip, which has the serial numbers (IMEI) with the phone. It will be delivered at your doorstep and you have to pay the customs to the shipping agency (FedEx/DHL/Bluedart).
[Nexus 4 General] gurasees:
try ebay.com

Jadopado is good but i was charged exceptionally high customs when I ordered a HTC one x from jadopado.com so i recommend using ebay.com to ship to u're us address and then use any forwarding service u like.

PS: If you are from mumbai ,i suggest going for borderlinx or ppobox. :good:

Just checked my pending Nexus 4 purchase and noticed that there was a "your payment has been declined" notice.

Got a mail regarding the same too.

My mail says:

"Your Google Order #xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx7.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx2 with Google Inc. is currently on hold. An attempt to charge your VISA xxx-xxx for $387.79 USD failed. This may have occurred because of insufficient funds, or as a precautionary measure against fraud. You may see authorizations on your billing statement for a declined charge. Occasionally, the authorization for a charge may be approved, but the actual charge for the order declined. Contact the customer service department for VISA xxx-xxxx for help with resolving this payment issue.

If you'd still like to receive this order, make sure to update your payment information in your Google Wallet account, rather than placing a new order. If you place a new order with updated payment information, any pending orders will resume automatically. If valid payment information isn't provided within 7 days, the order will be cancelled. Update your payment information at https://checkout.google.com/updateCreditCard"

Collecting from their own warehouse will save octroi or you can ship it to NAvi mumbai which is octroi free zone

It was listed in Feb last year too. No surprises. Don't expect things that won't happen. Google won't tease us. If they launch, they will announce.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
Just to be clear, excise duty has been increased from 1% to 7% from MArch 1st itself. All the people who have registered on ppobox.com received a mail from them regarding the same. You can go back to posts dated arond starting of March. I have paid 24700 through ppobox.com whereas it was supposed to be around 23500.
[Nexus 4 General] Fractalnoize:
that scared the **** out of me as i am about to order in the month of april ..but thats already done
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
You're right. I see that email as well.

Interesting point is they don't give any break up for basic vs cvd. If you add all the different duties which customs actually charge it's more than 7 percent even if you assume basic duty to be 1 percent .

Let's hope they don't revise duty charges in April again.

I got the GadgetShieldz protector yesterday, they don't give a lint cloth with the screen protectors anyways I applied it, almost took 1 hour for front and back, used dove shampoo 2-3 drops in water, as someone said above, feeling is a bit rubbery but hope it goes away,

just one question whenever i keep the phone on some thing which is not flat (wires for eg) the back side takes the same of the wire, I am not sure if this is normal, please let me know. Also is the procedure the same for applying it on the sides ( i got the full body protectors) wonder the water would make some problem with the buttons...
