Full Body Protector? Need Answers

Full Body Protector?

I may have registered now, but I have been following the thread since its inception. I would be receiving my Nexus 4 in about 10 days. I already have a TPU Case ordered for the same and TPU is quite shock-absorbant and protective. However I was planning to buy a Gadgetshieldz also just to add that extra layer of protection(with all that glass). So how good are they for 400 rs. odd? They also ship internationally and looks quite promising. Whats your opinion? Anything for protecting this beast
[Nexus 4 General] ShankyJain:
How come it shows malad west for you in the screenshot. For me it just shows Mumbai IN instead of borivali east. Does it mean ill have to collect the same from customs dept? Should I contact FedEx reg the same?

Btw we have the same time of delivery. But u gonna get sooner since there's a FedEx office in malad. Lemme know once u get so I can start expecting within an hour from that.

Just got mail from dhl asking me to arrange proper invoice and authority letter. I called him and asked why they would need another invoice as I have mailed them the Google mail confirmation. He said the customs are not accepting the invoice. I said many people have been cleared customs due to the same invoice and some are cleared without invoice. He said that he will escalate the issue to their senior inspector and revert back to me in 30 minutes. What other invoice can I give him? Does the wallet transaction will be sufficient if things go wrong ways?

Ahh... i had a thick soft silicone cover and gadgetshieldz too but still it fell 3 feet and front glass broke... Gadgetshieldz is a great product to keep it from knick knacks and some use scratches but it wont protect it from shock or fall... I dont think there is any cover which can provide adequate cushion... (how i hope otterbox makes one for this..) but the bottomline is that prevention is the only hope... or else you will have to shell out $140 (I DID:() for replacing broken glass (on top, imagine the horrors of sending and bringing it back...)

ty bro mine still in preorder state ...:( ordered on feb 3rd
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
Play Store number is +18558363987 . Dial that number in Skype from the "Call Phones" Section. You just need to change the Country code to United States and call. You needn't use a VPN to call through. Just regular Skype connection. You could use VPN but you'll just get bad call quality, nothing else. If you're asked where you calling from it would be wise to state your shipping address i.e. mailbox forwarding service address.

Thanks to varshil for the above mentioned Skype calling trick. Originally mentioned here

All the best. I've been calling them everyday for my 31st Jan Order. I've not even received Shipping estimate in "Orders & settings" or "Google received your order email".

System Update after starting the phone

Hi All,

I received my much awaited nexus 4 today. As soon as i started the phone it prompted me to install an update. It prompted like that

'this install will update your android 4 to 4.1.2 jelly bean'. I supposed it came with jelly bean out of box.

Any reason for same???
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
Are you sure it's not 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 jelly bean? Most devices come with 4.2, a few with 4.2.1 and rarely with 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 General] deepakmittal:
Sorry for confusion its 4.2.1 now..but my main concern is why its updated after booting?it was supposed to be pre installed?
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
4.2.1? Not really.. It's been only a month or so since it was released, right? Maybe when the Play store says it's 4.2.1, then they'll start preinstalling it.
[Nexus 4 General] droidnexii:
phone is on version 4.2 not 4.2.1

[Nexus 4 General] duuudee:
Use the PPO box address as your shipping and billing address .. There should be a option where you can check billing address same as shipping address :o

When you create or add a card on google wallet it doesn't really ask for a name on the card..just the card number..the expiration date and the cvv number.. At least for me this was the case..and I had an option to tick billing address same as shipping address
[Nexus 4 General] Maxxxxxxxxxx:
You can use different Shipping and Billing address given that the billing address is of US

For 8gb shipping is 4-5 weeks. For 16gb it's 1-2 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] Umang Sardesai:
ok here is the booking procedure...!

first u make sure that u have logged in your google account bcoz u shouldnt be wasting your time there..!

Also have your google wallet account ready beforehand.

Then u select the piece u want 8 GB or 16 GB

Next u ADD IT TO CART !

Till here everything happens smoothly...

Now comes the tough part... After adding to cart u have to click the PROCEED Button...

On clicking this u get a error ..... OOPS U REQUEST CANT BE TAKEN ,PLS TRY AGAIN LATER..

The motto here is to KEEP TRYING TILL YOU SUCCEED

My Aunt in US did this whole thing and she had to press the proceed button like 100 times ...NOT KIDDING HERE..

And after long trying for 20 odd mins finally she got through the proceed thing.. next she filled the acc and credit card details and the thing was done..!

Soon she got confirmation emails from google confirminfg the purchase and shipping address..

BEST OF LUCK GUYS...!! Hope this helps...!! Patience is the key...!!
[Nexus 4 General] crackednut:
And that is EXACTLY how it is to be done. Can vouch for this. Was trying through a VPN in Mumbai while i had two of my friends check it out in the US. Finally after almost 45 min, one of my friends managed to get through. He had 3 windows open in different browsers and he kept repeatedly smashing the "Proceed" button. Got through after repeated attempts.

Apparently, that's how we buy phones in the 21st century... :confused:

A quick update to all:

Google has started rolling out 4.2.2 update to Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus tablets. Some users have reported that Nexus 4 doesn't seem to have received yet. :rolleyes:

We should be receiving it anytime soon. I haven't checked myself yet.
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
I just shipped in 5 nexus 4's.

Average shipping price per phone: 450

Average customs per phone: 300.

SNS rocks :highfive:

Looking forward to ship the wireless charger, anyone here in bangalore wanna order together?
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
Depends on what you want.

With PPOBox, minimal hassle (since you prepay customs they don't usually open it or anything and is cleared quickly). But when Google ships to PPOBox, I think there's a 10% tax because of where PPOBox's located.

With HSG, that 10% tax isn't applicable, but there might be delays in customs due to physical verification and opening the package. (Also they offer a 10% discount on shipping charges when paid via PayPal, that's some $3 or ~Rs150).

So the difference is Rs 2000 (give or take) vs quicker/less-hassle delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:

[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
You're not the first one whose box was opened upon delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
If your friend is in the US, you can and should use his address as the billing address and where ever you want it be sent as the shipping address.

If he's not in the US, use the address given by HSG/PPOBox for both shipping and billing addresses.

In any case use his name in the billing address.

Just ordered my Nexus 4

Hey Guys,

I just order my Nexus 4.

I paid using my SBI Credit Card which is a master card.

The amount of 396$ got deducted from my Credit Card and i also got a Confirmation Mail And SMS.

But i got a Mail from google that The payment would be deducted when my order is shipped.

I dont understand.

Will my account get deducted twice?

Please Help.
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
Nope. Google is only "reserving" the funds until the phone is actually shipped. Credit cards will only be charged once.
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
Used it for 3 weeks before **** happened.

Battery: worse than S3. Undoubtedly. But the 10W adapter that Google provides means fast charging.

Music Player: Google Music is Ok, but I used Vanilla Music Player (it supported FLAC, is free and I don't need equalizers). I used Seinheiser CX-180 headphones and the music quality was ok. (My last good phone was an XpressMusic, and I think it had better audio quality, but with a different set of headphones).

Camera: Ok, not as good as the S3's. The HDR mode takes longer than S3's but better colours than S3's (and for some odd reason the HDR mode resulted in two pics for each shot for the S3).

Install Firefox and sideload Flash. Google "flash firefox android" and there's a Mozilla support page which will tell you what to do. That said, I have used Firefox on both Nexus 4 and S3 and it's a steaming pile of **** except for its extensions (AdBlock+ FTW!). Chrome was good but had minor bugs.

The preinstalled office suite (QuickOffice) and its PDF reader were good. You need a file manager app (I used Astro, but since I didn't use anything else, no recommendations).

Even with the new notification bar, PowerToggles is very useful, especially with its lockscreen widget.

I used MXPlayer and VLC Player for videos. Unless I used the HW+ decoding mode on MX Player, video playback was flawless.

Sunlight legibility was ok at highest brightness levels.

My experience wuth S3 is limited to the time I spent on my roommate's phone last week while waiting for this Nexus to come.
[Nexus 4 General] sagarmangla:
ok. thank you.
