Yep Indian variant has hardware changes internally some fixes externally look wise. For these new lot I'd sacrifice surface look for the internally fixed things. So whatever you get , stay happy
[Nexus 4 General] 3xeno:
You must have seen the phone at an angle the reviewers had put where the back looks plain. The dots become visible only at certain angles.
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
Yeah...some guy called "aridian" or something like that...the video is called "nexus 4 why its awesome"...

---------- Post added at 12:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 PM ----------

No...I'm quite sure it was plain black...coz it was on YouTube and any sign of the sparkling back cannot be missed...
[Nexus 4 General] 3xeno:
Well if iGyaan's preview unit is the final one, then the sparkly back is retained, but the Nexus branding is now replaced with a terrible looking "with Google" branding.

EDIT: It's a pre release unit, not final.

What do you think will be better,

1. screen protector on both sides + a bumper

Or

2. Ringke fusion case with transparent back...?

Or any other suggestions where there's enough protection but the back is not covered...?
[Nexus 4 General] hkulkarni123:
LG support for nexus 4's imported from the US

I am guessing the US warranty wouldn't be valid but will we at least get support for broken backs, faulty earpieces etc.
[Nexus 4 General] vikan:
I have the 2nd scenario. Never thought about putting a screen protector :P
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
How good is the ringke case...? Good protection...? And does the back take a lot of fingerprints...?
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Even I have a Screen protector and a ringke fusion case to show off the nexus through back.. thats perfect..:)

My Nexus 4 Display is broken :( where can i get it replaced in Hyderabad ?
[Nexus 4 General] emceeb:
Got mine 3 days back. My friend got it for me from UK had to shell like 23 k.

Also got a ringke fusion ----10£

And a slim port -------23£

I still haven't ripped the original screen protector.

Also haven't ripped the protection from ringke fusion.

Gonna keep it stock for some time before I root this bad boy.

PS .... Butter is a bit rough in comparison.

And usain bolt is slower.
[Nexus 4 General] vikan:
ringke fusion is good, not as awesome as it looks in online pics, but it's good. protection is there on the side and back but as you know front is open. :)

bought it from ebay, after getting discount and Rs 50/- shipping, it was 1340 bucks.

and yes, back becomes oily after some use. need to clean it again and again. imo, all in all it's worth. ymmv.
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
That's the best price we can get...?
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
How did it break? Check 1-2 pages back. One guy from Hyderabad has got it changed for rs 5500 and it took around 20 days.
[Nexus 4 General] vikan:
probably yes, probably no :) I did my research and landed on that price. seemed ok to me.

you can try, some other offer may give some less !!
[Nexus 4 General] 3xeno:
Guys who are still on the fence about ordering, there is a 5% off on electronics at Flipkart all through tomorrow (Monday - 20th May). This brings the price effectively to 24,700

Gutted that I booked before this. Going to mail them about it, and if they don't agree - Cancel and rebook. :P

EDIT- Ignore - Apparently it was not feasible for them. The offer no longer stands.

Noob question

Guys, a few days back (during I/O 2013), Google Search was updated, so that Google Now could set Reminders.

I tried setting a reminder, but when it was supposed to go off, I was disconnected from the WiFi.

I didn't get any Reminder, plus, I also couldn't see My Reminders in My Stuff (Settings).

Do the reminders in Google Now need a data connection/WiFi?

Hello. I have a brand new ringke fusion and an acase superleggera pro for trade/sale. So I need either/some of the following

Diztronic black tpu case, gadgetshieldz screen protector (or better), a nexus 4 charger (if not even an alternative regular 1 amp charger will do), dbrand skin.

That or cash.

Again, does anyone know where else I can get a nexus 4 charger from in Mumbai? The service center won't answer my calls, and the authorised dealers don't have the phone yet.

[Nexus 4 General] oSandmaNo:
Pre-ordered from flipkart :D

Hope stock doesn't run out fast xD

BTW someone said they wil cancel and rebook the phone a few posts before. There is no option to cancel for this phone :P The button is disabled!
[Nexus 4 General] 3xeno:
It's not disabled here. Check from My Orders > Click the order Number, and the Cancel Button is under Review This Product. :silly:

Anyway, I have mailed them about this discrepancy. Let's see what they have to say about it (I feel foolish at not having saved a screen shot). If it's too much of a hassle, I'll probably cancel the pre-order and wait for it to arrive at a brick and mortar store, because, as someone said, official LG showrooms are taking pre-orders for 25K. Will ask my local retailer the final price and go that route, if it indeed is 25K.

As for stock, don't worry. Since you have it pre-ordered successfully, its extremely unlikely to be backordered.
[Nexus 4 General] 3xeno:
Somehow I get the feeling that its a blog post created by you. It was already announced that the N4 launch in India is handled by LG and will not be available on the Play Store.

Anyway, I do not wish to get into the intricacies over this. Thanks for posting your source, and good luck with your sales.

[Nexus 4 General] prateek2888:
Victim! The phone is on the officia LG India page. Flipkart isnt conning anyone here. Btw, why would you buy one from Flipkart if you are in Sydney. Or is it just an attempt to make people believe in the launch delay :)
[Nexus 4 General] OrrPenn18:
Lol, paranoia. :P
[Nexus 4 General] devvfata1ity:
Yes the phone is official. It is being listed on the LG india site with an MRP of Rs 25999. Had pre-ordered from flipkart on 16th for Rs 25990, however cancelled the order today and pre-ordered it from the mobilestore site with 5% cashback for Rs 24690. I think its a very good deal and great pricing by LG. People who are cribbing about the pricing should shut up. For a 2-3k Rs more we are getting warranty which IMO is a very big factor. Personally I will never risk buying expensive smartphones without warranty. :D

Have been waiting for this phone to be launched officially for a long time. Very happy. Was almost about to shell out for the Nexus 7 as I wanted a stock android experience. Along with my One X, the Nexus 4 should keep me covered till next year, when I will go for an upgrade.

Also called up my nearest CROMA and E-zone, they both said the phone is expected to be available starting 25th May. The same was confirmed by Mobile Store and my nearest LG brand store.

Cheers

I recall a qoute a guy wrote earlier in this thread. " Nexus 4 nahi aaya tha tab bhi hungama, aagaya to bhi hungama." just order it and wait. Why making fuss and rumors. It isn't delayed and even if it is then we will come to know eventually.

Guys who have been using the N4 for some time now and the guys who have recently got the phone, can you tell me exactly how hot the phone gets and how soon or late does it start to thermally throttle?

cheers
[Nexus 4 General] eddy4823:
My phone never goes above 43. on idle it is 35 approx..
[Nexus 4 General] devvfata1ity:
Hey eddy ...thnx for the reply. 43C is a good temp , however from what i have read up, the phone starts to thermally throttle at 37C. Can you plz tell me what was the load/usage when you hit 43C? And if you were gaming, was the performance choppy/with lot of stutters?

Cheers & TIA
[Nexus 4 General] eddy4823:
Anytime bro. Game wasn't choppy at all. But yes, Phone was on full load when temp went above 40. Also depends on surroundings. I live in Jaipur which is nothing less than pressure cooker. Hit thanks if I helped.
[Nexus 4 General] devvfata1ity:
hi eddy. thnx for the prompt reply bro. have hit thanks for it :) I live in gurgaon and the temp here hits 45 C in summers, so yeah its very hot here too. My One X routinely touches 45 C while playing heavy games but it doesnt throttle that much. I am apprehensive about the N4 throttling cause from what I have read, its pretty severe. I know I can change the default values in the config file, but I am not too sure about the longevity of the SOC in that case. So like what you are saying, the throttling doesnt make the performance very choppy, then i can think i can live with it.

Also I plan to apply screen guard and a back cover, can you suggest some brands/models?

cheers.
[Nexus 4 General] eddy4823:
for screenguard i went to www.gadgetshieldz.in .

for cases and covers, I bought the ringke fusion case from in.mobilefun.com. mobilefun is based in UK so they will take atleast 8-10 days to deliver. Also, they might charge custom (apart from what u pay on the site ) depending on your location. i dunno they charge for gurgaon or not. They didn't charge me anything. ringke fusion is good but attracts finger prints on back plastic. though u can showoff the awesome back glass of nexus 4. sorry fr a long post but just being informative.

Guys i really confused regarding to buy new mobile i have considered Note 2 And Nexus 4 want to discuss some point here.

1. Note 2 having bigger battery over nexus so definitely will get more juice.

2. Note 2 Having S-Pen feature which is quite innovative Nexus don't have one

3. Note 2 having Multi - Windows which is also quite good TW feature.

4. I can flash AOSP rom Into Note 2 though not stable like nexus but i can't flash TW rom in nexus as Samsung not released source code :confused: Please help me out to clear my doubt !
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Dude Nexus is anytime better than note 2. Idk why but I preferred N4 on Note 2. the above stated features are good,but still N4 man.:)

Dude just search for the bumpers on ebay.in and about the coupons I have all ready used mine. you can register and get some.

You can also try Ringke Fusion(available on ebay.com not in india) case it has a transparent back cover and its really good i am using the same. :)

Lets leave the update topic as i know nexus is first device who will get update soon apart from other mobile but as you know we can't make 3G video call Samsung is only mobile which is feature 3G calling the most important thing is for me battery life we all know that we can't get battery life more than 8 hour or something around it in nexus if we use it for heavy use but in note 2 we can easily get more than this
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
There is no ****ing way its max temp would be only 43 if you are playing games or doing surfing while running few apps in background.
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
I'll reply nexus 4 even in my deepest sleep...I used to like Samsung for their features too...but they cram up the phone with software soooooo much that even with the high end hardware,the phone underperforms...

and as a personal choice,I feel the notes seem ridiculously huge...!!! I see my friend on a call on his note and it looks so big that it seem like he's holding a tab on his ear...!!!

And nexus 4 is THE developers device...u have an abundance of roms packing mind blowing features...u need not wait too long for source codes and updates...

And finally comes the pricing...why pay 10-12k more for an underperforming phone when u get an arguably better phone for less...?!?!

Id totally suggest u to go for the nexus...Iv been researching for a new phone since a while and I've not had second thoughts about nexus 4...I have already placed my preorder...I suggest u do the same...:)

[Nexus 4 General] emceeb:
1 ) bigger battery is a added advantage

But nexus battery is not bad

Its lasts a day without issues

2 ) Aosp gives you control over your phone like Sammy never can.

3) multi window has been ported from what I searched on Google.

4) the wide range of ROMs for n4 are enough to keep you keep falling in love again and again with the phone.

New innovation s like HALO and more are just worth everything.

Support the developers :|
[Nexus 4 General] 3xeno:
I have played with the Note 2 fairly closely, and I'll try to address your queries one by one:

1 - The battery on the Note II is indeed a beast. The phone performs admirably and even heavy usage will allow it to pull through a day. Of course, statements like these are very subjective, but, suffice to say that the Note II has among the best battery life among the available Android smartphones out there today.

2 - It's the Note's stand out feature, and you are right when you say that it's not available on the Nexus. I found the S-Pen pretty fun to play with, and pretty functional as well. Although again, not everyone will use the S-Pen as frequently as Samsung intended them to.

3- Multi Window is honestly a gimmick pretty much like all other TW features. Personally, I find it very counter-intuitive. Then again, maybe its me.

4 - Right again. But remember, the Note II uses the Exynos chipset, which is a nightmare to develop for (I have a SGSII, and ALL developers have nothing but a sort of hatred towards the chipset / Samsung). Then again, if you are putting an AOSP ROM on the phone, then you don't care so much about Points 2,3.

Also, Samsung is one of the few OEM's that support their phones for as long as Google suggests it. (18 Months). The SGSII came with 2.3.3, but it will get official 4.2.2. So, you are covered on official updates if you get the Note II.

The way I see it, if you are a fan of AOSP, then the Nexus is a dead no brainer, its disadvantages not withstanding. (Lower cam quality than my SII, no expandable storage / battery). But, if you feel you have use for TW's features and the S-Pen, then you should go the Note II way.

Hope you get the phone which suits you. Good Luck!

Sorry, but I don't agree with your mindset at all. I don't really see why you need to put in a reaction like that. Devs put in a lot of hard work to get the good quality apps out there, and there are definitely a lot of apps out there which deserve to be bought.Maybe you'll realize later one day, hopefully.

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
All phones throttle. It's too save battery. Here the outside normal temperature is 43 and haven't seen any performance problems yet.

The whole throttling affects benchmarks and nothing else.

Think of it like this. A high quality game requires X processing power. Nexus has 2x the performance, so even if it is throttled it performs fine. The problem comes with benchmarks which tries to use the entire available performance.

[Nexus 4 General] warfareonly:
To add to what you said :

2 - The s-pen is only useful to those who really have need of it. If you're going to buy the note simply because it has a stylus, then trust me, you won't be using it. Ever. (I own the note 1)

3 - Paranoid android is working on multi window feature for their ROM. It's implementation is bound to be better than that of Samsung.

4 - Agree 100%. If you plan on using aosp ROMs, nexus or Sony is the way to go.

Also, Samsung's firmware updates are ****. Sure, the version number goes up, but they are buggy, at least more so than Sony and nexus.

I'd advise you to get the nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Nice post dude. I really can't understand mentality of folks who buy 30k phones but very while paying for an app that costs 50 bucks.

I have bought apps worth already 1k till date.

I hope people realize that good devs won't be attracted to Android people start pirating en masse. Writing code is hard work and devs expect to be paid. Rampant piracy is one reason many apps are iOS only and devs take long time to port them.
