The way I look at it is the is America and we buy what we want. Compared to other phones out there, for 349.00 this phone is priced right and they will sell a ton of them and I will be placing my order as soon as the Google store puts the green light up that the phone is available for sale. Going to sell my trusty GNEX GSM for 200.00 and upgrade to the N4.

<paranoid mode>

In my optionin the Lack of LTE, no SD card, max. of 16 GB are to a great extend driven by a compromise between Google and LG regarding the very low target prise Google wanted the Nexus 4 to sell for. So its the cheap Nexus 4 or the Optimus G if you need more -> both parties win...

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 02S:
There is a difference between buying an iPhone because it is from Apple and buying a Nexus because it is a Nexus, even though 'the reviews aren't that positive'. The difference is that the Nexus is way more cheaper. So these issues count less. And to be honest, one of the biggest problem I've read is the POSSIBLE bad battery life. But as mentioned before; the review versions weren't the final versions. And the Nexus has a S4 Processor which should be very less battery demanding and the battery is 2100 mAh which is the same as the battery in the SGS III (though I'm not sure that it means it would result in same battery life).

But its a good idea to wait with buying it to read some user reviews. And if you're happy with the S III you should stay with the S III.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] szymon247:
People would usually expect a certain quality for the price that they pay.

I have the Nexus 7 that I bought for 189$ (with a 10$ coupon from Office Depot) and realistically I feel like I'm getting more than I paid for. If I paid 500$ for it I would say the display wasn't good enough for the price, that I could use a little bit more storage etc.

At the price I paid I think it's EXCELLENT value - the display is surprisingly good, the thing flies and quality is good enough (I've had no issues whatsoever with my unit) and having the newest Android will make it a better deal than most tablets even if priced similar anyways. I think at less than half of the price I have a tablet that is at least comparable to the best, if not better at a lot of things.

If you look back at the previous Nexus devices the Nexus One and Nexus S were pretty decent for their times, and they were significantly more expensive as well. The Galaxy Nexus was so-so, perhaps for its price it wasn't the best quality for the money. Let's not forget that we're not getting THE BEST there is. We're paying mostly for the Google Experience, getting a Vanilla Android as soon as it's released and a great hardware is an extra.

With Nexus 4, however, I suppose it looks "too good to be true" for 300/350$ (and yeah, it costs 500$ where I'm currently at, which is almost equal to the SGS3 price). Anyways for the US price I'd be willing to make a compromise here or there unless they fix the battery life and performance - that's why I'd wait a couple of weeks. If they do it's hardly making a compromise since the rest appears to be stellar.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magestic1995:
I just recently received my N4 and honestly I don't understand what people are talking a about with issues. Everything I have seen and felt with my new phone is superb. Some people are complaining about phone screen sensitivity and personally I have no problems at all with my screen. This phone has treated me amazing so far and I have yet to have any problems with it.

Also just because this phone doesnt have LTE I dont get peoples problems. There has been plenty explanation of why LTE is not in this device. LTE cost huge money. If LTE would have been incorporated then this phone would have most likely been at the price of all other phones about.

Yes my only problems with this phone is no removable battery or micro sd storage. But personally I can just work around those, they are small pieces of a very large puzzle.

Ok, I have used all of these phones in the past year through trades and carrier trails. Infuse 4g, Gs2, Htc titan, Gnex lte , Photon, Lumina 900 and now bought nexus 4. By far the fastest phone 0 lag, and best screen I've seen. I haven't seen sg3 up close or Gnote 2 or htc dna. GS3, Note 2 our also nice phones. The 1 mistake i think Google made is the total glass. I'm scared break this mofo cases come quick. The fastest phone I've had besides this windows phone. There faster with lessor internals but they have no apps. Sold my 900 for half this phone. You can't go wrong for 300 dollars they could have easily charged as much all the other newer handsets out there charge. Google choose to set a standard instead. We shall all see if the gamble pays off.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kerman19:
I've been reading this thread page by page, and I came to this comment and I felt I compelled to reply in agreement.

I change my phones quite often, I got the S3 on launch day, and I've handed it down and bought a Nexus 4. I always buy my phones outright.

The thing is though, like you I work hard, very hard. My other half, and my kids get everything I earn... I wouldn't have it any other way... save for the few £100 I spend on phones.

Incidentally my family is in to phones as much as I am, so an upgrade for me is an upgrade for them, in this case a mint condition few month old S3!

For what it's worth the Nexus 4 actually blow the S3 out of the water for user experience. The S3 was fast, when TW wasn't being a ****, and had enough RAM left, but it just isn't consistent... the Nexus 4 is!

The phones I purchased for my Mother and Aunt came in today.

I see right away what people were saying about how smooth and slippery it is . It does feel very good and solid in the hand. I booted up and both devices and gave them a good look over. I noticed that the speaker seems to strain easily on both models, even when the volume isn't maxed. The first model was otherwise flawlesss. The second model made a rattling sound when it was shaken. I don't think it's critical enough to warrant a return and customary wait for a replacement device. Both of them seemed to have quick response times. I didn't notice any problems with screen responsiveness, other than what I had expected from leaving on the protective film. I didn't notice any scratches, but I didn't actively try to temp fate. I had a scare at one point when I set it down and I thought I had shattered the back near the camera, but it was only the powder residue from some donuts I had eaten there night before. -_-
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
Seriously? You set your phone in powdered donut residue?

I see a scratched/damaged/wet phone in your future.. just saying..

Lol my gaming rig station could be a hell of a lot more organized, but your vision would be wrong. I don't think I've ever damaged a phone through casual use. Always used otterbox, though. My new Note II is actually the first time since I've started using smartphones marks the first time I've ever considered using another brand., and I will.

Kind of rude of you to say, though. You don't have any dust or similar reside on any of your tables? Damn, you're too good for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
Don't get me wrong, my comment was good natured, more poking fun than anything.

However, I would not set my all glass smart phone on a table where I eat, and had not cleaned afterward.

I don't think that makes me "better" than you, just cleaner. ;)

If the next iPhone comes out with top of the line specs like the N4 and matches it on price, I could see the argument being made.

That said, this phone today is the best overall package for a device on the market and at a price that some phones are sold ON CONTRACT.

Call me a sheep any day for jumping on a phone like that and saving money at the same time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
Well, I have waited to see what became of the new Nexus 4 before I made a decision on whether or not I would buy it.. and frankly I am glad I did.

It appears, at least by the polls/threads on this site, that the defect rate is almost 33%. If you look at the Nexus 4 forum, probably 70% of the threads are hardware defect/issue/complaint threads.

Pretty much what I knew would happen, which is why I made this thread in the first place.

I think I'll get myself the Note 2 - without feeling any remorse.

I wanted Google to succeed, but the fact is they failed again. Piss-poor buying fiasco with a sub-par product.

Sorry but Samsung is miles ahead of the Nexus line.. Note 2 here I come!!

No, it is not more useful. Because that only highlights my point in the OP, that Nexus fan boys are as bad as iSheep in many aspects. Uncluding "being happy" with their defective product.

Hey if you're ok with washed out colors, yellowing screens, cracking glass likely from several factors including what looks like overheating during inductive charging, great! More power to you.

As for me, I've had enough of the blind Nexus fan boyism, I'm happy I got away with a Nexus 7 free of any major defects.. as for my phone, not trading in my bad *** GS3 for anything less than another bad *** phone.

You don't own the phone and have never seen it or touched it so your opinion is pretty much useless. If you want to run with the loud minority, and regurgitate their complaints, to justify not being able to get the hottest android device then that doesn't bother me at all.

Great, glad you feel the need to defend your inferior device.

And I could have bought it on release day, or buy now and wait the lead time, but I choose not to. I won't even be getting the Note 2 until after Feb, so you're theory is bunk.

How is it trolling? So to summarize a fanboy trend I see going on, while patiently watching and reading all of the user reviews and then justifying my views after there's been a plethora of substantiated data from Nexus 4 users, is trolling?

You know it's funny... because what I see from your type of post is that you're actually trolling and trying to pin the wrap on the OP.

To me, trolling is posting without actually adding to the discussion.. which is exactly what you are doing. I'm taking the time to provide a legitimate point of view and promote discussion, while you're just bashing me and not refuting anything I've stated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stormtroopercs:
I like how you bash a device for its problems that almost no nexus 4's have... You listen to the minority and come to the conclusion that this phone is inferior... Not even taking in account it's price or other pros... And to make this even more interesting... you don't even have one! *face palm*

Obvious troll is obvious...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El Daddy:
You were here day one calling everyone here blind. Then, you revived your dead thread only to once again bash a phone you don't even have. You say 33% of people here have issues? You know damn well people without issues don't come to forums and start thread after thread about how perfect their phone is.

Every phone launch is comes with complaints. Mostly because the pretty new phone they bought doesn't live up to their fantasy land expectations. Yeah, their are legitimate issues with certain peoples devices, but it doesn't mean the whole line is garbage.

I've read all of your posts in this thread. To me it seems no different than walking into bar full of Yankee fans and telling them the Yankees suck. The only purpose is to get a rise out of them.

You think the nexus sucks and everyone here is a nexus fanboy? You think the S3 is better? Great. I'm happy for ya.

Wrong, because when I called everyone blind I included myself.. Only I chose NOT to make the same mistake with my money again and I waited.. And I'm glad I did. You either didn't actually read my posts, or you just don't have the capacity to see the overall picture of what I was/am saying.

I've had plenty of phones, I don't have to own every single one before I can make an educated buy.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roxy:
Judging from what I can see from your latest post(s), you're posting here not because you're giving constructive criticism, but you're bashing on the Nexus 4 / Nexus line and it's users.

I don't have any of the problem you've mentioned: ( washed out color, yellowing screen, and cracking glass ). Colors may seem ' washed out ' to some people due to the fact that they're used to samoled screen... but I actually prefer this screen more than samoled.

I'm not sure why you're calling the users here as bad as ' iSheep ' fans when your behavior is no better. Hypocritical much?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
Personally I wouldn't attempt to determine the defect rate of any product based on a forum and people will always complain about hyped products. Personally I've had none of the issues mentioned here with my Nexus 4. It's been to the gym with me multiple times now and had a couple falls without issue - no cracks or scratches. I've even managed to place it in my pocket without scratching it or having the glass shatter "out of nowhere". In my personal experience, It's a much more solid device than I was lead to believe by reading some of the threads here.

In my line of work I have the privilege of spending time using many devices from various manufactures and based on that experience and my week with the Nexus 4, I could not be happier with my purchase. I will say the battery life was not amazing on stock, but that was easily remedied with a custom kernel - and support for custom, community-driven software is a big reason people here are drawn to Nexus devices. On that note, I personally won't purchase another Exynos-based device until Samsung provides meaningful support to the developer community.

I find myself wondering why you revived this thread. You've not provided any new information or opinions and even closed the quoted post with a comment that I'm sure you knew would stir the pot given the audience; the quoted post amounts to nothing more than an "I told you so, Samsung is better than Nexus" message to Nexus 4 owners.

Having said all this, I do truly hope you enjoy the Note 2, it is a really nice device. It even has it's own forum! ;)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I love how the OP claims the defect rate is 33% based on this forum, has it ever occured to you that, for example, out of all the people who bought the S2 which is millions, less than 100,000 actually visit XDA, its a fraction of the user base, statistically insignificant to make any guesses of trends.

Hope you enjoy your Note 2, you will not be missed by anyone

I had every phone known to man from the amaze 4g to the galaxy s2 s3 and note 2 so many phones I cant even remember. and I came to the nexus 4 what does that tell you? its a beautiful phone and has been stock ever since I got it. no slow downs. no searching for perfect roms like I did with touch Jizz on the galaxy line. people say the colors are washed out. this is what we see in REAL LIFE. are eyes don't swtich to super contrast mode and make colors deeper. overall the phone is great. and I don't regret buying it for one second

how is this a sub-par product!?!?

Ive had my N4, since release day, and got it from my local T-Mobile store. The phone is far from being a sub-par product. Dont judge the phone if you have not owned it. Im coming from a Galaxy Nexus, which I got back in November of last year, and this phone is a huge step above the GNexus. The N4 is definitely a great phone, and shouldnt get as bad a rap as it does. The launch was not the smoothest, but that should not reflect on the phone being a bad product. The Note 2 is in an entirely different category, and shoudnt be compared to the Nexus 4. Only complaint ive got about my N4, is the lack of a removable battery, other than that I have no complaints.

[Networking] AlphaNoble:
I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, I'm a noob.

So I will be ready to upgrade in the coming month, and I currently have unlimited data. Everyone says that if I pay full price for the phone, and I do not sign a 2 year contract, then I will be able to keep my unlimited data and will not be moved to tiered/shared data plan.

My question is this: If I pay full price for a new phone, keep my unlimited data for the time being, is there anything that stops Verizon from pulling my unlimited data a couple months down the road, and either refusing me service or moving me to tiered.

I have heard both sides of this issue, one saying that if you pay full price for a phone and don't sign a contract then you keep unlimited data forever, and the other that you keep unlimited data until VZW stops providing it. Any ideas?
[Networking] Babydollll:
VZW (and any carrier, really) can change their ToS at any time and pull your unlimited data plan. However, if you buy a phone off contract (at full price) there won't be anything stopping you from leaving if they do.

Think of it that way.

Hickory, Dickory, Dox...Snowflake approves of my HOX.... :D
[Networking] cell128:
I agree with babydoll25. Plus I really don't think there's a whole lot of people that will pay 600$ for a phone just to keep unlimited data so in a few years there will be only a small amount of people on unlimited data and they will leave us alone. Myself I have 3 lines. 2 with unlimited data and 1 basic line. I'm using alternate upgrades on the basic line than switching the phone over to my line so I still get upgrades :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sharthorn:
I'm just wondering if notification lights are supposed to turn off after I wake up my phone. I'm currently using Cyanogenmod 10 Nov 4th build.

For example, when I get a text message, my notification light turns on and starts blinking purple (that's my setting I put)

When I turn on my phone, the light disappears. But if don't check my notification and lock my phone again, the notification light doesn't appear.

I was just wondering if this is supposed to happen as if I remember correctly from the stock Samsung Touchwiz ROM, the notification light would stay on until I check the notification and clear it from the tray.

If it's supposed to be like that, is there a way to change it so be more like Samsung's way of dealing with notifications.

Thank you so much in advance!
