Gadgetshieldz

Gonna have my N4 with me in a few days. Have Gadgetshieldz ready & waiting for it.

Would love to hear a few experiences with Gadgetshieldz.

Is it easy to apply?

Also, what about the orange peel effect?

---------- Post added at 12:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

Ok. Thanks for responding!

I should have my N4 with me in just a few days. Asked my friend to bring it for me from the US.

Good luck with your device, buddy. I hope the issues get ironed out.

Doesn't work

I tried to order from google play using my CitiBank international credit card, but Google cancelled the order and sent a mail stating the reason as the "Billing and shipping address supplied with order does not match with Billing and shipping address provided to financial institution"

If anybody has ordered this way of late and the order didn't got cancelled, please let me know the exact procedure.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
With 4.2.2 update, Google updated the radio firmware of Nexus 4 to disable LTE as it was not officially supported nor had FCC certified device for LTE. Some guys flashed the old 4.2.1 radio firmware to enable this unofficial LTE support. The downside of this was broken accelerometer, gyro and issues with in call audio.

With stock 4.2.2 without any hacks there is absolutely no issue.
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
I ordered nexus 4 yesterday, with icici credit card...hopefully that will get cancelled too...lol

will get back to you about the status...

One thing i wanted to ask was ...how many days did it take for your orders status to change from pre-oredered --> cancelled?
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I have not undervolted my CPU. infact my device is totally stock. Not even rooted. I have been wanting to root since the week I got it but never had the time to root and then re setup the device since all the data will he erased. Plus as i understand its due to high temperature as a result of some app. I have failed to identify any such app but i went ahead and removed a few of those installed in past 3-4 days and it hasn't occurred since last night.

Thanks man. I hope that too.

Hi there meher91...

I know the difference between a dead and low battery...and actually my intention was not to know more about battery life...but to know if there would be any problem if there comes a time when the battery needs to be replaced...to break it down,I simply need to know the cost and availiability of the battery,whether genuine spares are available, service center that I must approach,etc...can u help me with that...?
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
few weeks ago some one said tht the official LG service center in mumbai was stocking nexus 4 screens but again someone else had no luck in finding them...so unless nexus 4 is released in india dont expect it to be there...

u can alwayz find them on ebay but im not sure wether ther are legit or not...
[Nexus 4 General] jagjeetxda:
:)

If you could please help with the Billing and shipping address you used and shipping company address you preferred?
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
ya but ur words were confusing so i didnt want to mislead anyone and scare them off from buying this beauty...

moreover accouding to ur original post, if the battery back up in general is not good, then there is no effect even if u change the battery...that again was confusing... :good:

Billing Addresss

Thanks Gautam, but what about billing address, did you put it same as shipping address or the billing address with Citibank.

and how do u plan to get from NY.
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
i used the PPO box address everywhere. I ordered two Nexus 4 before as well using this credit card in February.
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
K bro...im sorry if I wasn't clear...I too don't want to scare people away from this amazing phone...I only hope they release it asap lest they lose their customers to Samsung or Sony...anyways thanks for the info...:)
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
Yes, even if they release for 24-25k here it would be worth every penny...along with warranty...
[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
After the announcement of G Pro, I have lost hope of official India release. As if Optimus G wasn't enough. LG wouldn't want to hit the sales of its own flagship.
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
true...
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
All indian users trying to purchase the N4 from play store -

the trick is when you setup your credit card in wallet.google.com for verification 1$ is deducted and the transferred back into the account. my HDFC credit card failed because 1rs was deducted and not 1$. maybe thats the catch. so before you place the order you can find out if the card will work or not.
[Nexus 4 General] tejjammy:
Anybody?
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Then it should be Optimus g
[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
Digitizer, maybe. Screen of Optimus G is differently shaped than Nexus so I am not sure that would be a fit.
[Nexus 4 General] macrovers:
I have a doubt in the 2nd point ( sry 4 being such a noob )

My friend is only going to buy it for me, so during the purchase from play store - he has to give the shipping address that any of these services gives you OR the address of his place and then he has to ship to the provided address ?

I know im troubling u guys a lot, but things got complicated for me - earlier somebody was to bring the mobile to me but now the programme got cancelled - so the nexus 4 wait is killing me.
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
hey , how come you didnt have to pay $32 extra as tax....i used ppobox as well..but had to that

btw..i just cancelled my previous order..it was taking too long

and placed with my citi cc
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
i got it waived off from google. because i called them when my HDFC card failed. yelled at the executive and they gave me the rebate
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
:good:

i'll do that next time...btw what did you say to them?...and usa call...wont that be charged that as an isd
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
Today I went ahead and bought another Nexus 4 accessory I wanted. Bought the wireless charging orb. Reviews have been mixed and some horrendous but i really wanted the wireless charging so now waiting for it to arrive. Ordered from ebay for rs.5025.50. Should receive in 3 days. Shall post my review once I have it .

Was planning to order through play store and get it using ppobox or hopshopgo. But at this price it would have been more or less the same and waiting and all more headache. So went ahead to buy through eBay reseller.
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
i just called them and yelled that money is deducted and order is cancelled and blah blah blah. I used VOIP from my office.:p
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
You can use Skype to call USA toll free number. Or set up Google voice easily using vpn and make all US calls for free. I frequently use google voice for this.
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
i think that is the reason ..your order got shipped....because you yelled at them ;)
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
A company can waive off the shipping fee. Taxes can't be waived off as it needs to be payed to the government :?

Are you sure that that's not a RMA. What I have read is RMAs don't attract any extra chargers.

That's just my opinion.
[Nexus 4 General] numero_uno:
Guys, I have decided to order the nexus 4 from a friend who is returning from US in a few days.. Just wanted to know what accessories are recommended for this beauty(cases, screen guards, etc.) .. Is the OEM bumper good enough ?? Has anyone using it ??

Also, are there any other cases that one would recommend to use with the Nexus for extra protection of the back glass .. If possible please provide the links for the accessories from where one could get the same. TIA
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
Hey, i ordered a new nexus 4 with my citibank cc....they have charged me for that..does this mean that they have shipped it...as according to their receipt it says that..that they will charge when they have shipped

I am using an ArmorDillo case presently -- its rugged and offers great protection, but its an eyesore. I have finally received a Ringke Fusion case today, which I have great hopes for. Yet to try it on though. Will update tomorrow.

I bought the ArmorDillo from in.mobilefun.com and the Ringke off eBay.in.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
After using Ringke fusion for last month. Since yesterday I have started using Nillkin flip along with intellicover app. It has made my life so much easier and overall experience much better. Flip case are really practical and handy. I no longer have to press power button to switch screen on or to turn off. It's done automatically just like a smart case on Apple devices.

I do miss the transparent back of Ringke to show off the beauty of nexus 4 but even Nillkin flip case back is a little shiny and not that bad and black colour gels well with the phone. I have one extra.

Looking at you receipt I noticed that yours was a MasterCard. I tried couple of times to order via Play store and my order got rejected and I was using a Visa card. Can that be the difference where your order went through and mine got rejected.

Great news! Your order on Google Play has shipped.

YAAAAAAHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
If they have charged you in $ then it went thru and if they charged you in Rs then it wont make it.

Google support page from VPN.

Can be, what i noticed is when my HDFC visa card got rejected i was charged in Rs and not in $. so if you are charged in dollars then you order will go thru.

Confused

Hi,

I would like to seek advice from you guys.

I am confused between two phones viz. Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (Quad 4412 + 2 GB) or the Google Nexus 4 (LG).

Do reply.

Regards.
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
Congrats!
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
I think if you are planning to keep your phone till 2020, then take s3 "LTE",otherwise go with GN4.

Or if you are still adamant about LTE wait 2-3 months.Google is going to announce its GN4 32gb LTE version. You can buy then buy it from there.

IshopInternational quote

Whoever has used ishopinternational please guide me. Looks like now we are left with ishopinternational as ordering through play store is so erraneous.

Whatever quote given by ishopinternational is the final ? Dont they charge anything more than that ?

I want to buy two 16 gb versions. Should I give the amount as ( 349 *2 ). What about local shipping and taxes ? How will I know about those. I understand those varies between different addresses.

Do they cover insurance also for the goods ? Mainly their quote covers customs duty also ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] jagjeetxda:
quote

how much have they quoted?

I just contacted their operator.. this is what they had to say

Operator Maria enters the chat

Hi

Hello, how may I help?

want to order a couple of Nexus 4 16 gb to India

how much will they cost approx till it reaches me

would like to inform you sir

we will not be able to purchase this from Google

need to send the link from amazon or ebay for the same product

but my friends have bought from IshopInternational using Google

earlier we have purchased sir

but now we will not be

Ok.. thanks..
[Nexus 4 General] NHarmonia:
Yeah, the quote they give includes everything. No more charges.

And they would be refunding you if you don't receive the phones.
[Nexus 4 General] mukuntharajaa:
What about the cost that I should enter ? Only Just phone cost or even local shipping and taxes ?
[Nexus 4 General] NHarmonia:
It's 349$ + 14$ shipping + tax. Don't know how much the tax is, so just enter 363$ X 2. They will correct it for you.

Also, try writing you want two phones in the description.

Weight is 0.5 each, though they will fix it for you.
[Nexus 4 General] mukuntharajaa:
Thanks for the info dude. Any promo codes available ?
[Nexus 4 General] NHarmonia:
1.Just chat with them and give them your quote no.

2.Tell them it's your first buy and would buy it definitely if it were Rs 500 less.

Visa/Master Card

Logically speaking type of Card will not increase the probability of getting order shipped form Play store

There is something called BIN(1st 6 digit of CC)

This information is enough to know the country/issuing authority of CC

Guys I just had a chat with ishopinternational. There are saying that they will not be able to buy any devices from google play store. They have stopped it seems :( Anybody ordered this week or so ?
[Nexus 4 General] CircuitBug:
My Nexus 4 has finally shipped!!

Following are the steps I followed:

1) I setup a VPN using Tor and placed an order using a Citibank Visa card. My shipping address was the comgateway address and billing address was my father's office address.

2) Order didn't pass through.

3) I placed the order again with the same card, this time with the billing address as the comgateway address.

4) I noticed that I was now able to access the US playstore without the VPN, so I became hopeful.

5) Order cancelled again.

6) Just to screw with Google, I placed the order with the same details as the last time.

7) My order got cleared within a few hours.

I think if you setup a Google wallet account with a US address and any card, they eventually give you proper US playstore access. You will probably need to do a purchase (in my case the purchase of the nexus 4, you may also try activating google music) to invoke a checkup of the address following which your address is not tallied with the bank (I'm guessing this part). It may also be noteworthy that I did not create a new google account for this transaction. I used the same account I have been using for the past 8-9 years.

My iShopInternational order has reached their mumbai office, and is going to be dispatched by today if possible, otherwise tomorrow.

Looks like they aren't taking any more orders.

What would be a good case for me, if I just want to protect the back, and also show it off?

You can assume I won't drop it.

In my case would screen protectors be better?

Can you suggest a proper scratchguard and a case..preferably from an indian site.

[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
All those looking to buy Nexus 4 can buy from ebay india from the same seller that sold under Deal of Week last month at Rs.25705.

Rather now you can get it at Rs.25514.05.

Many including me got my phone through this seller e-next and reviews have been good.

The listing price he quoted is Rs.26999 but if you use coupon code CPBYREBAY7 then you ll get it for Rs.25514.05.

This seller ships really fast too. Link - http://cgi.ebay.in/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271194565864

Hey guys,

I really really really need your guys' help !! And none could be better than asking you indian people rather than other (no racism lol).

I WANT TO MOD MY NEXUS 4 DEVICE. (my first ever smartphone)

Now the problem is i have no idea what unlock,root,mod means. And i have also no idea which is better between PA3 or cyanogen RAM?

But i know it makes the phone smoother and faster n stuff. I've tried it from a ToolKit by """mskip""" , and it was pretty easy but soon i realized it was for 4.2 version whereas i have 4.2.2 version so i stopped as my device could go bad.

So, Someone please make me MOD (or whatever it is ) my Nexus 4 with best ROM and i would give you people my blessings.

Thanks a ton in advance BROS!
