Vodaphone 3G Connectivity - weird problem

Hi

Did any of you start facing a weird problem with Vodaphone within the last two weeks? Here is the situation -

The same problem occurred on two different Nexus-4s in two different location (Mumbai and Bangalore). Both phones were bought in the US - unlocked and have been in use in India without any problem for nearly a year on Vodaphone network. Suddenly in the last 2 weeks or so (not sure exactly on which day) both phones would show as connected with the network (full signal bars) with the "H" showing 3G data on the signal bars but would not make outgoing calls to any number and incoming calls would not reach the phone (i.e. if I called the number from another phone I consistently got the message "Phone is switched off or not reachable"). This was not a network problem because in the same room on another phone (Nexus 5) also on Vodaphone network everything worked perfectly fine all the time. Restarting the phone/resetting the phone did not change anything. During this time I also got the 4.4.3 update OTA and upgraded both phones (using my wifi network and not the mobile network which wasn't working) but this also did not change anything. The only way I could get them working (sort of) is by dialling *#*#4636#*#* and from the menus which popped up choosing "Preferred network type" as "GSM Only" (the default displayed there before I changed it was "WCDMA Prefered"). With this setting the basic voice functionality works but I get only a GPRS (2G) connection and not HSPA and if for some reason I have to restart the phone the "Preferred network type" goes back to "WCDMA preferred". So every time I have to do all the above to set it to GSM Only. It is really puzzling what changed within the last two weeks that caused both phones that were fully functional for nearly a year to develop this weird problem. Is this something that Vodaphone has done to their network which is affecting these phones (remember these were bought in the US so perhaps there is some difference between them and the phones sold in India or the rest of the world)?

Any help/suggestions/tips would be much appreciated - thanks

It's taking about 3 hours to charge my phone. Think it's the li'l break in wire that's the cause.

Where can I get a good quality micro usb cable?

How much time does yours take to charge to full?

Headset with mic

Hi all, Looking for mid range headset with mic... lost my COWON EM1 with mic last week... which worked perfectly with N4.. awesome sound and i was using them from last 1 year(bought that for Rs. 1000)....Surprisingly they survived and proved total value for money. Enough... after 1 min of silence for my lost headphones i am ready to move on. :cowboy:

I don't take much care of headphones so not spending too much as there is huge possibility that i might end up breaking them accidentally.

Any upgrade over Cowon EM1 in range of 1500 will help a lot. Please suggest...

No developer preview. But looking at the chromecast stuff where they said it will support N4 and some images on google developer site, it should be coming to Nexus 4.

Nexus 7 (2013) and Nexus 4 are pretty close in hardware, there isn't much work required to get it running on N4.

Has anyone replaced nexus 4 battery. From where to get the original battery and are the battery available on ebay original.what would be the price of original battery.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
I have gotten it replaced from LG Authorized Service Centre two months back. Don't buy from eBay, the batteries listed there are all fakes and even costlier than the original battery available at the service centre. LG service centre replaced the battery on the spot, I paid them Rs.980 (approx) in total.

Hello all,

Has anyone successfully been able to get airtel 4g on Nexus 4 in India (Bangalore)?

I have flashed the hybrid Modem and an adapter for nano to micro sim but still unable to get the 4g.

Any suggestions or does it not work at all?:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Sudarshan61:
Not possible

N4 does not support 2300Mhz Band...Band 40
[Nexus 4 General] syedtahir16:
Thanks man. Looks like we have to stick with 3g speeds.
[Nexus 4 General] anurag4444:
Thanks for reply. Can you tell me why did you replace the battery and after how many days of usage and is the new battery giving good battery backup.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
The phone is 1.5 yrs old and the battery backup had drastically reduced as my usage is very high. After replacing the battery everything's good.

[Nexus 4 General] skarma103:
is airtel 4g any better than 3g ? i still get crap speeds on 3g 4-6mbps , in bang too , with vodafone i used to get 8+ same device
[Nexus 4 General] anshumandash:
Airtel 4g is better than Airtel 3g. I haven't used it with a phone but I have used it with USB dongle. At Office I get 35 mbps and at home I get about 17-20 Mbps. In Bangalore Vodafone doesn't have 3g license and they use Airtel 3g. So your 3g experience will be same on both service providers in Bangalore.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Actually its the same.. It depends on the area you stay.. Here 3g is super fast.. aIrtel is good,similar to Idea.. You can try Idea 3g best.. Tata docomo have superb plans but their network is ****ty.. so is aricel.. Both are brothers..
[Nexus 4 General] senthilrameshjv:
I would say, go with 3g .. it is lot better than 4g. Since 4g in its early dev, you find so many issues. Also, 3g is almost the same price as 4g. Then why wait for it.

Grab 3g and be without issues until 4g becomes stabel. [MENTION=4450732]CallMeAldy[/MENTION] can provide more info on that. :)
[Nexus 4 General] syedtahir16:
I get around 8 Mbps on airtel 3g. And it drops to 4-5 in a few areas.

However, a couple of them I know that use airtel 4g get around 20 Mbps at most times and seen them hit max 40 (on an iphone).

My sister's N4's display broke after falling from a table. Any idea how much is it going to cost to replace the display and digitizer?
[Nexus 4 General] kittuboy:
I spent 5500 rupees. Got it done in Bangalore. Don't go to LG since they'll most likely rip off. Local guys will do a decent job usually.

[Nexus 4 General] kittuboy:
I got it done at a shop in Koramangala, Bangalore. Shop name is Fonotech. Message me if you want further details. Cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] kaushikd:
Is it somewhere near Udupi Upahar? Will pm you for the exact address.

My friend got it done in Hyderabad for 4750/- from official LG service center.
[Nexus 4 General] kittuboy:
Maybe because it's Hyderabad. Everything is costlier in Bangalore :P

But seriously, when I asked at the LG centre, he said 5.5k so I decided to go to a local guy who would finish it in an hour.

<Insert witty quote here>

---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:23 PM ----------

They'll still have to replace the entire display. I had a problem with the digitiser, no visible physical damage. Same diagnosis, same treatment.

<Insert witty quote here>
[Nexus 4 General] kaushikd:
I went to that store today. Probably he will return it tomorrow after fixing it.
[Nexus 4 General] anshumandash:
You can use trickster, but you won't be able to customize much if you are using stock kernel as it won't have customizable interfaces.

For better gaming performance you can use Franco kernel 209.
[Nexus 4 General] king231:
I could use Franco kernel kernel but the app ain't free. So I want to check out the stock settings and then optimize hellscore similarly.

hey guys would you consider selling N4 and buying the xiaomi mi3 for 13,999 .. the specs compete with N5 .. what are your thoughts

[Nexus 4 General] coolzarjun:
I'm tempted to buy the mi3 phone as well ...

But ...

Kitna bhi acha phone ho wo ... Log chinese phone hi bolengi : p
[Nexus 4 General] king231:
If they call it that way then they should even call Apple a Chinese brand because these both phones get assembled in the same factory.

Xiaomi is an OEM(like Samsung, lg, HTC, etc) and definitely not something like micromax or karbon which are actually unbranded phones from China and get a logo respectively in India.
[Nexus 4 General] rrohanjs:
you buy phones thinking ki log kya bolenge ?
[Nexus 4 General] coolzarjun:
I don't think that way ... I've been using miui for the last 2-3 years ...

But in college ...

It gets exhausting explaining each and everyone about the OEM concept ...

While they dismiss your beloved phone as Chinese ..

I'm into a lot of social groups ... So I have to keep up to some appearance s

Nexus is a Brand in itself these days ...

I'm sure Xiaomi will establish a solid position for itself in India very soon...

Peace ...

Arjun
[Nexus 4 General] anshumandash:
I think if I can accumulate some cash in the coming days, I would consider buying Xiaomi. But I am not selling my N4 for that.
[Nexus 4 General] anshumandash:
I did some research in mi3. There are no ROM or kernel available for the device. So you are stuck to miui forever. Only thing you can do is root the phone. I am kind of losing interest now.

[Nexus 4 General] rashidqansari:
I just thought I would drop in some quick points which might be helpful for everyone waiting for the Nexus 4.

After a weeks use, ( used official nexus bumper, tried screen guards etc, ) and I must say, if you really want to enjoy this phone, use it bare, the curved front screen and the thin bezel and the floating zero gap display can only be enjoyed without any add-on accessories. The bumper kills the whole zero gap experience, and the screen guards don't wrap the whole screen up on the curved edges, kills that purpose too.

Everyone must be paranoid about breaking it, but whats the point if we cover up the phone which feels like any other android phone just to protect it, and practically you will never enjoy this beautiful device unless you use it as is. I dropped the phones once from about 2.5 ft while sitting on a wooden floor, not even a scratch. I also hit the phone back accidentally with a watch, nothing happened again. The phone is not as fragile as some blogs are exaggerating. The only thing that actually seems delicate is the chrome border, it feels like the one on blackberry which might flake later on ( It seems like that but might be of better quality)

A leather sleeve for protection when moving around is a good option ( S2 leather sleeves / cover fit nexus perfectly, found one at a Reliance Digital for Rs. 200 )

though the display initially might seem faded, you will eventually fall in love with it. Jelly bean 4.2 has some bugs, and I think a fix will come through soon . ( prominent ones are, camera refuses to close when u hit the back button, takes three tries at times, phone automatically switches to only vibrate mode if you reduce in call volume, chrome is laggy, battery drain is weird too. at times its drains fast and quite the opposite at times. software patches will hopefully solve this.

[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
First, I am pretty sure only the curved front screen is affected by having a case. Zero gap experience, basically means that one layer in front of display is eliminated, thus leading to thinner screen and an effect as if the display is coming from the front, if you know what I mean.

I am not personally bothered with the curved front screen. I would have still bought the device had it been made of plastic and had similar design as Galaxy Nexus. What matters to me is that the device lasts long esp. since I am buying this without warranty. I understand, that there will be a few , who take care of their phone like a baby, but I would like my phone to be a bit rugged. That would have been the case, even if the phone had a ruggedness similar to S2, which might as well be the case with Nexus 4 in the best of circumstances. [A friend still uses it naked and it has survived quite a few falls, without scratches and now some minor scratches]

Leather sleeve is a good option as you have pointed out, but maybe not for me. [ I'll still try out the device naked with a sleeve sometime, but just not too sure, whether I'll persist as I am bit of a rough user, plus my nephew/neice are very young. ] Btw, if you are not interested in the bumper, do let me know. I am interested in getting one. :)

Question to Lucky people:)

Just wanted to know the procedure of ordering from anyone who got their phones shipped overnight or next day...

-Like did you create a new Google account for this purpose or used the old one?

-What address did you provide if at all you opened a new account.

- Which VPN/Proxy did you use to log in and order?

- If you signed up for new account with Google, Did you go about registering with US IP address or Indian IP address?

- Which credit card did you use?

May be the answers to these questions will help solve the mystery of "Miracle Deliveries" for few:)
[Nexus 4 General] newdon07:
and do they accept Indian debit card (MasterCard) too?
