drop!

survived a 5 ft drop, a slanted drop hitting the top right edge, the cheap hard rubbery case has taken damage and the phone seems fine. :) :good:
[Nexus 4 General] subindev:
FYI

heard that (from a reliable source on twitter), UPS took leave on 31st DEC & 1st Jan.

May be that's the reason for delay in delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
No Way, Mine delivered on 31st Dec, 1st Jan was Holiday..
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Which rubbery case? I need it :o
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
this one http://www.ebay.in/itm/390515440727...X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1231wt_1139
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Hmmm how is it? Quality? Fit?
[Nexus 4 General] yogeshmha:
Have you heard that the new batch is shipped with no glittering effect on back.
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
Its a hard casem but has a rubbery textture - fits well, feels good. somehow there is some cheapness factor about it. Although it did save my phone froma 5ft drop. :)
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
That's a rumor at best. There have been only one or two reported cases.
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
'll be happy if they have a version with no glass back, more tension than goodness.

Yeah, i did read about it.
[Nexus 4 General] yogeshmha:
It will be kind of better for few ppls if they get something like that. May be a production err
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
This time I used a debit card and was instantly charged
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
I don't think that the glittering effect is caused by the glass itself, it's some material underneath the glass which causes that effect. So non glittery phones would still have a glass back I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] aeromass:
Try out Poetic Atmosphere case, it provides overall protection and looks beautiful. But the back is more plasticky than rubbery. I ordered one from amazon for $6.95. Its also available in Ebay but is little expensive. If your phone is incoming, buy the case and consolidate it with the phone, you can save on shipping. Otherwise ebay is cheaper.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Just a rumor..

After waiting for months without any news of nexus 4 coming to India I'm planning to buy a Nexus 4 from a seller on amazon n getting it with my sis who is coming from US. I just wanted to ask -

1) amazon is pretty safe right? I mean I won't face any problem in getting it delivered to a US address or any problem with d devixe?

2) will d phone have international warranty?

Would really appreciate a reply quickly as I'm otherwise gonna buy a note 2 instead.. :/..

[Nexus 4 General] CrazySpartan:
PPOBOX users i have a few queries:

1. Does PPOBOX charge shipping, taxes etc. after mobile has reached India and cleared customs or when it is about to be shipped to India from US?

2. If they charge after it has reached India and cleared customs then approx. how much time it takes after payment to ship.

I called the PPOBOX helpline no. but all they said was that you make the payment once it reaches us we will ship it.

PS: PPOBOX charged me Rs. 2131 for 2 mobiles.

I think u can to wait for playstore booking to open & book it immediately... Then ask them about shipping... If they r able to deliver it to ur cousin's address by 18th then its fine orelse just cancel order from playstore & buy it from T-mobile... But ofcourse if u buy it from T-mobile directly u can avoid all the pain & get device instantly... No matter how u buy it... It would be worth it... :)

[Nexus 4 General] shadowkay:
dude!! look up! i have posted the link !!!!...
[Nexus 4 General] hirav:
You are quite wrong dude

If nexus 4 is released at price equivalent to 300/350$ in india I bet you Google can sell twice the number of nexus sold in US.

Reasons

1. Nexus is intended to be sold contact free and as you know there is nothing like contract in India

2. People in us are comparing about lack of LTE and for many its a deal breaker which is not the case here

3. Just name me a device which offers you what's Google's nexus 4 offers for 16k(300$) or 19k(350$) even at 50% more price i.e. around 25k or 26k (don't tell me you will buy a gn s2 instead of nexus 4 or iphone4 8gb even if it cost 50% more)

4. An average middle class Indian now spends about 12k to 13k on their smart phones

Just think of what crap he gets for that price range(an HTC desire c ) lol

So why wouldn't he spend some extra 3k or 4k and buy the latest available smart phone and that too of Google (remember Google is a big brand name in India may be not for smart phones but certainly has much more respect than HTC or lg or even Samsung in some cases)

So why is Google not selling nexus in India?

The only problem Google might be having is the Indian government and the the dumbo politicians here.(I mean FDI)

Last year Google tried to add street view to Google maps for india.

They started in Bangalore.

They took permissions from traffic police but Bangalore police stopped them from capturing images with their mobile SUV.

They intervened because of security reasons but after that our political parties made it a political issue and denied Google of capturing pics in the name of foreign direct investment and national security and the result was Google abandoned its street view project in India.

So now you know why Google is not officially selling nexus in India and some other countries.

Just hope Google play store may someday come to India.

For now eBay jindabad or else find a relative or a friend from us or UK

I guess that's what we can do.
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Firstly ur estimate is totally wrong... the nexus is sold for 349 usd, 349 euro & 279 pound... but if u just convert 349 usd to inr u get 19k & 349 euro to inr u get 24.5k & 279 pond to inr is 24.5k... That would be absurd because u should not just convert a currency & determine its price in India... As u can see Asus released nexus 7 for 19k in India few days ago but its actually 199$ = 11k in US... So I can assure u if the device released in India, even from google play store, it would be 22-25k... But Lg trying to release it for more than 30k which is everyone's concern...

I agree with u about our worst governance in place...
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Profit margins with just the devices are very low at the price points Google is selling. They do not intend to maximize profits through device sales; rather selling the device is just a means of introducing the customer to all the other products and services Google has to offer.

You can't deny it - most of their revenues from app/music/movie purchases come from US and Europe markets. A lot more than what the Indian market generates.

Do you mind providing a quote of the expenses like shipping CIF(cost, insurance and freight)?
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
While making the payment, I'm assuming there were two address fields - Billing Address and Shipping Address, right? Shipping address would be your friend's UK address, but what did you provide for Billing Address? Same UK address? Isn't it supposed to be the same as the address linked to my credit card, which is an Indian address?

I am planning to upgrade to nexus 4 from galaxy nexus because I may find some one coming from US

So will get 16gb version for around 20k with taxes and shipping and will try to sell my galaxy nexus for around 20-22k which I also got from US play store
[Nexus 4 General] shadowkay:
Well what you say is right but i have registered the credit card with the same address in the Google Wallet. So both have the same address.

Edit:

Just came across this in the official orders and play store shipping thread :

A Virtual Credit Card (VCC) cannot be used with your purchase in the device store. Also, at this time, the country of your credit card must match the the country to which you're shipping.

Hece its mandatory for both addresses to be same.

[Nexus 4 General] venkig:
Picked up Nexus 4 16GB locally in Bangalore by paying almost double the price for the device ! Got tired of waiting .. pondering ... scheming .. whether to wait for India launch (which now seems like a joke and may not happen anytime soon) or to order from hopshopgo, borderline etc...(play store stopped taking orders now ... lol ) or wait for 15 days and go pick one up in US and hundred other plans which never yielded anything.

My productivity went down bcos NEXUS was always on my mind ......I finally decided to put all scheming to rest and get a piece of mind so I treated myself this NEW YEAR with this awesome device.

I WOULD NEVER PAY A BUCK EXTRA for any DEVICE but BOY this one I had to make an exception and I happily paid double the price.

Few local stores here in Bangalore and few of friends did mention that Nexus 4 is available in Bangalore grey market(National Market, Hongkong Bazaar etc.) and 16GB sells around 40K ... sounds crazy but not so much for gadget despos :D

SAMSUNG OEM charger is around 1 V only.So it will take more time to charge

[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
You can charge with and charger having Micro USB port.

I have 1 Nokia, 1 S2,1 S3 and this packed N4 charger which I havent even opened.

Charging threshold is controlled by kernel so no problem in charging with any of these..

No harms to battery, only change that you will notice is Fast/Slow charging depending on the charger outputs.

Companies dont provide high end charger with the phone sometimes to control the price..

Here is a thread you can look at for understanding this more clearly.

1. From Dec 19 Onwards, PPOBox sents the Invoice for shipping and duty while the phone is going through customs clearance, so that the phone can be dispatched as soon as they receive it in their Mumbai hub.

2. Generally, the day after you receive the invoice for the customs duty the phone will be dispatched through Bluedart [ Next business day Delivery]

For Eg : If you receive the invoice Jan 02, they will dispatch it on Jan 03 and most probably you will receive it on Jan 04.

For one phone it is Rs.1378.

brar.arsh is right, you can use any MicroUSB charger to charge it. If it's got a lesser ampere rating, it's going to take longer to charge it. Nothing more.

Why do you think microUSB is now used as a standard by almost all (read: minus Apple) manufacturers anyway? Just for this reason - cross compatibility.

i donot deny that others cant be used... but as lower amperage can cause troubles. the same way higher amperage unless there is a circuitry to hold them up

@All,

Is there anyone who is using hopshopgo? My shipment reached them on Dec 31, and now has departed their facility. Just wanted to know if there is anyone else in the same boat as me? Also, was there anyone who got it within 5 days? [after the customs and all]
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
AFAIK there are two types of headphones with mic available in the market, one is the generic ones and the other is iPhone/iPod ones. LG Nexus 4 supports iPhone ones so other headphones i.e. of Samsung, LG etc won't work. And Volume control is not supported on Android, it works only on Bluetooth ones.

Take my case of my two phones. My Motorola Defy+ supports generic earphones and Samsung, Nokia earphones works fine on it. But my current Motorola Electrify supports iPhone compatible headphones only, so my Defy+ earphones doesn't work on Electrify and vice versa. I had bought a Soundmagic MP21 (which says 'Compatible with iPhone') for my Electrify and it worked perfectly fine.

See: All you need is '5V' and AmperePerHour is how quickly does that current help you to fully charge.

Mostly, the software/hardware would take control if the ampere is higher than the battery acceptable limit.

And having lower amperes is just going to take more time to charge.
