Guys i actually was thinking of getting the nexus 4 but as you can see google i/o is being held in may, so should i wait for i/o to see if the nexus5 is launched or just a new os comes up?

And at this time is it worth getting the nexus4?
[Nexus 4 General] vd1900:
People here are having trouble getting nexus 4 do u think will be so easy to get one? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] ssvijay:
Finally all my cases arrived,

Utterly confused which to use :P

Having a Leather Flip case which is just a local product - Rs 500

Ringke Fusion case - 1.3k

Capdase hard shell - 700 rs

Loving all three thats the problem....

I know it sounds crazy but i like the leather Flip case more than the other two

Will post my personal reviews for others to decide what to get :D

[Nexus 4 General] bliizzz:
well its easy for me to get so thats y im asking because my decision is gonna rely upon google i/o , but still i wanna know if the nexus 4 is worth to buy in this period?
[Nexus 4 General] vd1900:
Nope not worth !

---------- Post added at 10:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Sir can u post pictures of your leather flip case thx
[Nexus 4 General] bliizzz:
Can you give a reason for that? Like some defect or something?
[Nexus 4 General] vd1900:
There is absolutely no defect but since u r ready to wait I suggested so that u get the latest product

Unless u r gadget freak u go on buying and trying new phones

I feel the nexus will be a good upgrade and may have some new features too but the this is all speculation we still not sure what's coming

Hope this helps
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
99.9 to 100% there won't be any new Nexus 5 at i/o. It will mostly be in Fall 2013 around November. But there is a chance of 32gb version with LTE.

Of course everything is speculation but based on all the tech sites and since we have had no leaks at all and less than a month to go, I really really doubt new nexus 5 is coming. As for new version of android whether it will be 4.3 or 5.0, nexus 4 will definitely be the first device to get it no matter what.

If you want wait for bigger memory and LTE if there is.. Almost no chance of new completely redesigned device at this i/o.

[Nexus 4 General] vd1900:
Just download the zedge app from the play store and search nexus head to the wallpaper section and u will find it
[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
This is for anyone who wants to wait for the LTE version. Do remember that LTE bands used in US will not work in India. India uses TDD version of LTE whereas US is FDD. So only benefit of a 32gb LTE version for us is the storage.

gadgetshieldz

Guys how good and durable(time it can last, I heard it lasts just a month after that it starts looking very bad) is gadgetshieldz and how difficult is it to apply on Nex 4
[Nexus 4 General] abhilashkumar:
I have been using GadgetSheildz full body screen for the last 2 months. No problem at all. This isnt like other screen guards. The material is ultra high transparency. You will get some bumps on the surface since the material is softer than others, but as far as I can see, it doesn't show up in normal light. Only if you look closely.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
What are these marks (encircled in red)? I though these comes only on xtremeguard...
[Nexus 4 General] devilthehellraiser:
Thanks for the coupon

Thanks dude it worked total costed same for me .. mine has been shipped and am expecting it tommorow ..
[Nexus 4 General] abhilashkumar:
Xtremeguard and gadgetshieldz are both softer material than regular scratch guards. You will get these bumps on the surface if you keep it on a rough surface.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Yes. I also think so. But price-wise xtremeguard is much cheaper than the gadgetshieldz.
[Nexus 4 General] faiz02:

Shipping Nexus 4's together

I want to order 2 nexus 4's via PPOBOX but I don't know if I should order them separately or together because the pacake id is unique for ppobox.
[Nexus 4 General] emceeb:
My friend getting one for me from Uk this 16th can't wait:)
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Since Google ships the two phones separately, you need to create two different package id's. Don't know whether we can consolidate them in to one or not. But consolidation is not available for the free registered users. Those are available for professional ones.
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
Order them together and it will come in one package. I ordered two and used PPO box
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Guys,

It is good bye from the forums for now as my phone was stolen :(.

Unlikely that I will get it back [ police as usual doesn't track via IMEI number, not sure how to convince them and the cerebrus I have installed requires either internet connection or sim, both of which currently are deactivated, and if the thief is reasonably tech savvy or has a friend who is will flash the factory image].

So no hope for me. Will still try to track via cerebrus periodically,but not much hope. Else, will wait for the Google I/O event in May 15 and then hope for a price drop or a 32gb Nexus 4 version and then buy one if I have money. [Can't tolerate non-AOSP phones now after trying Nexus 4]
[Nexus 4 General] geekovary:
Feels extremely sorry brother. Condolences. :(
[Nexus 4 General] marijuana123:
Try tracking for few more days and if unable to do so,contact google, coz i read somewhere in the forum that they can disable the stolen device remotely rendering it completely useless..
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
That's interesting. Would be really great if someone could give me a link discussing this.

Not sure how to contact google and provide proof? [ My friend purchased it for me]

Well it's stuck on bangalore airport flight delay.... I called blue dart and they told me I should expect it tomorrow. Wbu?
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Yeah will do that. Send an email detailing the issue. But I think I should wait for one more week, in the faint hope of recovery. What say guys?
[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
Unless the cops are going to do something about it, I don't think it's likely it will be recovered. But I guess you won't lose anything by waiting a bit longer :)
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Is there any way to convince the cops to search harder? To track the phone via the IMEI number? From what I understand the only way they'll give me the phone is if via the gang gets captured and their phones are found, or someone reports that he/she found the phone?

I do have cerebrus installed, but getting that to work is unlikely considering that the thief should have installed a factory image before selling. Are you familiar with the black market places in Bangalore, where these phones are sold? Any chance to get from there? I am basically clueless on what to do :(
[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
Based on what I know, they don't track based on IMEI even though it's possible to do that. I am not sure of the black markets here in Bangalore but if it has reached till there, I think they would know of methods to wipe the IMEI and spoof another one. Sorry mate, I do feel your pain having lost a dear phone myself in the past but I think you might be out of luck :(
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Yeah, you are right. Since it was stolen in Bangalore, it is likely however that it'll be sold in Bangalore only though. Anyway doesn't matter. Will just have to accept that there are near zero chance of recovery. Will try to contact google to disable the IMEI at least. Not sure whether it will work, but will give it a try.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Google doesn't do it as it can not validate the identify of the requester (who is calling to disable the phone)

Buying nexus 4 on eBay

Guys,

Last year I bought the GNex over here in India for around 20k - your typical shop which sells imported items. Everything felt right about it while buying, phone worked like a charm for 3 weeks with android 4.2... Then suddenly its baseband got wiped out for no reason. Turns out that it was a hardware issue, which I had no way to get fixed in this country...Despite burning my fingers I still crave for a good Nexus purely for the wonderful Android experience.

Now I can see that ebay.in sellers are selling Nexus 4 16Gig at around 27-28k - I guess this is a good enough deal considering that procuring it through the play store + something like hopshopgo would cost around 22.5k.

Has anyone in this thread bought their Nexus 4 in ebay.in? How's the experience been so far?
[Nexus 4 General] MPAI:
I bought from ebay on 26th.. I will get my phone tomorrow. You will need to shell 2-3K more compared to if you import it from US.

Plus if you have HDFC, ICICI or a Kotak CC, then you will get 750 off.
[Nexus 4 General] eddy4823:
I bought from eBay too. It's been two months and the phone is working perfectly fine. :)
[Nexus 4 General] devilthehellraiser:
I got it from eBay too.... It costed 25243.70 rs... 16 gb :)
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
If you but it from eBay, what is the guaranty that it will work perfectly. If a device has a hardware defect then it doesn't matter whether you buy it from eBay or play store.
[Nexus 4 General] OrrPenn18:
Normal Shipping? Maybe 20 days. And you will be called to the post office to collect the item.

Myself bought the armourdillo case and was even charged 221 rupees as custom. Bleh.
[Nexus 4 General] eddy4823:

HELP !!

Can someone PLZ answer me , it might be a noob question But ,

I haven't yet charged my phone from the INBOX charger as i thought it might have some voltage issue so i was using USB charging.

I wanted to know how can we use the inbox charger in INDIA , do we need to use any voltage converters or just normal 3PIN would do.

Iv tried the inbox charger directly and the battery symbol on the top right would go on and off and on in senseless pattern . M afraid i might screw my battery lol.

Please guys be specific and help me get an online link if poss. THNAKS A TON! yo!
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
Hi,

No its not a noob question, everybody who gets any thing from usa, should be worried about the voltage specs.

But in case of mobiles, after the era after "thin pin" or "thick pin" charger, now companies provide chargers which can run on any voltage as long as it is between 100-240.

If you choose not to believe me, look at that brown printed text written on the charger, above ampere rating, its mentioned 100-240. :laugh:

Now , why your battery light is going on/off is because, the charger is very loose in the multi-plug we get in india. so do one thing, go to any electrical shop, and buy the one which fits as tight as possible(take the charger with you), it will only cost around Rs.10.
[Nexus 4 General] redandwhitearmy:
Not working with this too... many codes are account exclusive. thanx BTW
[Nexus 4 General] trippinn:
Thanks)

Ha! That was a perfect answer dude. Thanks a ton!! So u mean i can charge the phone with the inbox charge , and i just need to a normal 3PIN types to tighten the charger pin. I guess any 3PIN would do , people were scarying me using the words 'converters' and 'connectors' . Now i feel safe to use it and il try it right now. Thanks again )

And one more thing if you have any idea from where can i get a good scrren and back protector AND a guard(cheap if poss) in India , m asking cuz you would have the same. Thanks yo!!
[Nexus 4 General] Vikramaditya Rai:
A minor issue.

Guys, I just got my Nexus 4 today.

I use an Airtel SIM.

Whenever I'm connected to the internet (whether via Mobile Data or WiFi), the signal strength bar is blue & "Airtel" is seen in the drop down notification panel.

But, if I disconnect from the internet, the signal strength bar turns grey & the drop down notification panel says, "NO INTERNET CONNECTION".

(Find the screenshots attached herewith)

So far, this hasn't proved to be a hindrance in the calls or messages, but it got me curious.

Any solutions?
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
same happens on mine so i think it is normal...
[Nexus 4 General] redandwhitearmy:
doubts about ebay.in nexus...

1) will the box come sealed?

2) if there is problem e.g. buzzing in earpiece ... will shop like e-next replace it under seller warranty?

just want to be sure before final transaction
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
see there are two types of screens, matte and glossy

matte: - gives you smoothest of touch, but decreases the brightness

glossy:- touch changes from 100% -> 95%, and the colours are not darkened

now on ebay you can get them for quite a cheap price

but if you are looking for full protection check this site, gadgetshieldz(Rs.319(apply coupon adw20)). just one hour ago i was applying this protector on my phone.

for cases look for amzer cases (rs.500+), they are quite good. otherwise you can buy a leather pouch.

I think you are new to xda, and just as a suggestion...if you want to thank someone, you can just press thanks button. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] trippinn:
Yes i'm new to xda but not this world dude. Hahaa! and the way you give the concise and perfect replies i just love it now -D

Thnaks a ton again! I'll go through all u mentioned .

And one last thing , i tried my inbox charger and the battery jsut wont stop dancing evn after trying 3PIN and trying to stable it with hand . Anyways the charger can not be a bust as it was packed, il prolly try a new pin tomorow.

And iv pressed the thank meter but wanted to thanks personally.

Again , Love your replies ;p yo!
[Nexus 4 General] devilthehellraiser:
1 the box came sealed

2 Not in my case

Suggestion

My budget is little bit constrained as i m pushing above 25k for nexus...

SO along with my nexus i am ordering only two accessories

1. SGP case http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=321101705445#ht_4699wt_1139

2. screen protector front and back http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350767290101#ht_6101wt_1139

i will be doing all order tomorrow noon... so i need suggestion that are these best in this price range or i can get something better ?

i will check this thread just before ordering... so hoping for some useful suggestion.

i dont want to go 700+ in total ..

What you said is true. But not every Android phone does this. This works only on AOSP ROM's and No Samsung/HTC phone I know does it.
[Nexus 4 General] ssvijay:
My views :

Leather flip case:

+Nice protection to front and back when the mobile is in my pockets

+Not too bulky

+Attending calls without making face/finger prints on the screen (just like any flipcase)

-Does not preotect the top and bottom edges(which are more prone to be the first point of contact if the mobile falls)

-Looks cheap at times

-Volume buttons are not always accessable

Capdase hard shell

+Phone looks very slim

+No finger prints on the case

-Case looks just Okish

-No protection to screen,and all edges

-With Gadgetshield it finds it difficult to fit in the phone properly(hence not using this)

-Case more or less covers the buttons and hence it is a bit difficult to access them

Ringke Fusion

+Nubs for better sound from phone speaker

+Good protection for top, back,edges (and even screen , provided a fall happens ona flat surface)

+Nexus 4's Beauty is its glossy back ;)

+Doesnt add too much bulk for the preotection it provides

+Buttons are easily accessable (Revised version rocks)

-Didnt do well with gadgetshield on the screen (have now ordered one more with case optimised)

-Finger print magnet (i can live with it)

My personal favo is Ringke Fusion, using it for a week now, used to like leather case but with this the phone feels premium

and i dont have to make the phone rest on the screen(for ringtone /alarm sounds etc)

When the bars turn blue, it means that there is a data connection available. This will be there for both the cellular network and also for the wifi icon.

Grey means that network is available, but data is not. You can still make calls.

---------- Post added at 02:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Not google server. Blue icon indicates that data is available on the network. Grey indicates lack of data. Only calls will be possible. The wifi icon also behave the same way when you first turn it on. Starts with grey and then turns to blue after you get an ip from the router.

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

The charger provided with the Nexus 4 is for all voltages from 110 to 240. I have been using mine since I got it without any problems.
