Strange. I am using tapatalk. And what's weird is that only this thread is getting unsubscribed every single time!!

Same here, not able to detect. But, maybe I didn't try hard enough :P

By the way, I can assure you that it doesn't have anything (curiously) to do with hw rev 11/10. I am having hw rev 10, but have read from people with rev 11 having buzzing sounds.
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
That is what i'm saying it is so faint that it is almost negligible. Man for 1 week i never heard it even though i was trying to hear it from day1 in silent areas after hearing so much about this prob, just to confirm. On one of these weekend i tried at 2am at night with screen on and i could heard a faint buzz followed by periods of silence and jerks and then again. It almost died with screen off. So its there definitely....and i would sincerely suggest all you guyz if you have not heard it then its great and don't even try to as once you will notice it..you will kinda always try to notice it so rather enjoy this fantastic beauty than sniffing out the unnoticeable probs unless required.:good:

EDIT: Mine is Rev 11 too
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
Mine is rev 11. There is buzzing sound, but it's too faint to be heard.

Can v just have the HW revision number of everyone who is NOT experiencing it?

Sent from my DROID RaZr on JB.
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
I have been browsing through several forums, and i am sure it has got nothing to do with HW revision. Its just a random issue irrespective of hw rev. Buzzing varies from very faint to loud. Many hotshots phone like iphone 4s and few others have had this issue. It has been blown out of proportion as i think only few units had this problem with some serious buzzing while others had too but almost negligible, which can be eaily ignored.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Exactly what I am saying.

I doubt whether any of these phones you mentioned has this high defect rate. I really think that Nexus 4 might higher %age of people with this problem [ taking into account, those with even minor issues] . Even considering our thread, there are quite a few people who reported problems with N4 [though nearly 70% reported no problems with their N4]
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
Well maybe but i think none of us have been so insanely involved and devoted our self to any other phone like we have been to Nexus 4, so we believe that the rate is higher. Now think from the perspective of a happy GS3 users, i don't think so they would be aware of the rate of problems in N4. Besides we know its LG, so its easy to pin point everything as a big defect. Just a thought!

Isn't hopshopgo express shipping cost $26? How come did they charge $40. My shipment will reach them today. Why did it take 7 days to just ship the product?
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
I too got the phone today. Really nice and snappy. Rooted and installed Busybox already. In the process of restoring apps.
[Nexus 4 General] amba55555:
when i paid for a shipping it calculated that $40, i don't know where it came from.

in the first i choose express shipping and they said it will ship in the next 2 days(exclude holiday)

then my shipment stuck. i contact them and got the answer that DHL can't ship it to my address and they want another address from me

if i don't give them, they won't release the package. next day, i got an email from them that they decided to ship my phone by FedEx instead of DHL. so that's why my phone stuck at HGS for 1 week!
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
They ship with FedEx International Economy if you choose the Standard shipping option. I hope they refunded the difference amount.

What all did you have shipped? Anything apart from the phone, like cases or screen protectors? Also, which city did you have it shipped to?

Stay away from the Official Bumper Case

Hey guys, so i am facing the crack problem with my official bumper case. The bumper case has got a week spot where it is bound to crack mysteriously and hence is absolutely not worth the price. So i'd recommend all you guys to go for some other case. Found people having exactly same problem and exactly at the same spot with the bumper. Seems to be a design issue or something.

Hello,

I have shipped through HSG. I guess it will reach Bangalore tomorrow. HSG have sent it through DHL. So how does the customs work?

Will DHL deliver the product to my address and then pay the customs? Or will I have to go pick it up from the customs office?
[Nexus 4 General] ambasta:
You strongly suggest PPOBox? Do you know that I was the first one to report a successful shipment via them, and then when I sent a subsequent shipment through them for 2 other N4s, they lost it in their local warehouse?

Do you really think saving maybe a 1000 bucks is worth the risk of being unable to get a refund/insurance of more than 200$ when the phone + shipping costs 400USD?

In my opinion, go for HSG. They charge more, yes. But at least you won't risk losing money if they do a collosal **** up on their part.
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
DHL will clear customs for you and deliver it at your address. You need to pay the the customs duty amount at the time of delivery.

Be warned - I've had bad experience with Bangalore customs. My package arrived at Bangalore on Monday at 3.30 am, paperwork was completed at 3.52 am, and only at 6 pm today the entire clearance procedure was completed (physical examination, assessment, DC signature). So be prepared to wait for a few days to have it delivered after it arrives at Bangalore.

Last time was worse though. Arrived Monday morning and got delivery Friday evening.

Anyway, good luck! :)

This rumour came up few days back and LG has denied it. It doesn't make any economic sense for Google or LG to produce another Nexus.

There might be a successor to Nexus 7 announced as its already 1 year old but doubt any smartphone announcement.

And even if they announce a smartphone its good for us as we'll have a limited edition device :)

You reported it first well good for you :)

They lost your your shipment well that is bad. :(

However, this is a rare case.

before using ppobox i asked many(literally many) of my friends(one of them has a mobile shop.. buys 5 phones at a time..ships to india via ppobox and sells them here) who use ppobox for usa shopping, they never had a problem even for items worh 1350USD!

I am not saying do not use HSG at all.. .. i am just saying that in my opinion ppobox is much better.

just a couple of pages back you can read of so many problems HSG users have faced (like delayed shipment.. they send via DHL and opened box etc).

I donot say that saving a 1000 bucks is better... but again.. i am sure there might be numerous cases of lost packages and collosal **** ups with HSG as well.

And finally yes i would still suggest(with a pinch of salt though since you reported) and advice using ppobox for the reasons mentioned by me.

and by the way.. thanks for telling about your lost nexus 4s.. ill let my friends know (but i doubt they will change their opinion)

and i think the success stories of ppobox are more here...i may be wrong :rolleyes:

The problem is not that the phone is lost. The problem is recovery of investment. With HSG and SnS at least they claim they'd refund entire amount of consignment. With PPOBox you get a max of 200USD.
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
Absolutely. That's what they do.:D
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
The fact that PPOBox doesn't recommend shipping items worth more than $200 through them is worrying. If not for that, I would have given them a go.

EDIT: I don't think in total PPOBOX is cheaper than HSG. Have we forgotten the 32$ tax in NY with PPOBOX and 0 in Oregon for HSG.

I have absolutely no issues with the device as of 24 hours of usage. No buzzing sound, no yellow tint, no rattle, no other issues as mentioned at many places. The hardware revision is 11, and cpu binning status says 'faster'. Battery life is descent. Device gets a bit warm if used for longer periods, guess that's perfectly normal.

Forget it, the LG Nexus 4 is not coming to India

Forget it, the LG Nexus 4 is not coming to India

The buzz around LG Nexus 4 finally making it into the Indian market is now beginning to get tiring. While there doesn't seem to be any major manufacturing related issue, LG hasn't yet announced plans of launching the device anytime soon. All the earlier reports pegged the release to be round about now; of course, all of those reports were speculative. LG India representatives continue to be tight lipped and are not ready to reveal anything.

Grey market punters are suggesting that this is a standard ploy that vendors use to keep users guessing and waiting, because such tactics directly affect grey market sales, and vendors would much prefer the sales to happen through official channels or not happen at all. Grey market veterans also insinuate that vendors keep leaking information without backing it with any real action to often upset the launch plans of their competitors. And chances are very high that the Nexus 4 may never officially get launched in India.

When will LG launch Nexus 4 in India?

One reason for the no-show could be the LG Optimus G, which spec-for-spec is a replica of the Nexus 4. Of course, the design for the Optimus G, like many other LG phones, is nothing to rave about and can be termed functional at best.

A Nexus device is typically sold at a very competitive price point, as is seen in the case of the international pricing of the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 tablets. This means the OEM that makes these devices ends up with very thin margins on each device sold. OEMs find it far more profitable to sell their own version that carries the same specs as the Nexus device. In this case, both the Nexus 4 and Optimus G sport a 1.5Ghz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, an 8MP shooter and a 4.7-inch True HD IPS LCD screen with a 768 x 1280 resolution.

Before the current global 'shortage' of the device, which Google clearly stated was LG's fault, the Nexus 4 was available in the Indian grey market for less than Rs 30,000, but with no clear word on the launch or even pricing, the grey market rates have shot up. And for those who just can't wait anymore, the phone is available for a whopping Rs 36,000. Word on the street is that the sale of the new Nexus 4 is just about OK, with very few pieces moving every month. This could be directly linked to its current price, but the same cannot be said about its predecessor – the Galaxy Nexus. The Galaxy Nexus, although over a year old, is still a big hit and has an increasing demand among consumers. Its price, which had dipped to below Rs 20,000 following the launch of the latest generation Nexus phone, has now risen to Rs. 21,500 (yesterday's price).

Never try to get the phone + accessories to India. You may be charged extra as there are different charges for both. Even tablets also have different custom charges than phones. Atleast you can try not to order in the coming months.
