[Nexus 4 General] Evil0verlord:
Well, ZContrary to what everyone keeps saying online. The battery backup & thermal throttling did Not affect me.

The only noticeable downside of the N4 vs the GNex imo are:

1. the Notification LED. It is multi colour, but very weak/cheap -ish? If the Gnex LED was to be given 10/10 on the Ooooh! factor. The N4 is a 4/10 I'd say.

2. Battery backup is good. I get 1 day easy with about 2h screen time. (On stock rom+kernel) Wfi/3G On.

For some reason though, thew Phone / Cell radio takes up more battery in Settings > Battery than even the screen (on 2H screen on even)

3. the stock kernel either erronreoudly reports or it keeps setting the minimum freq to 1GHz :/

4. It is not overheating for me on casual gameplay & daily usage.

5. The Only issue I'm facing amogst all the issues reported online of the N4 is the low quiet hiss sound always emanating from the rear speaker.

But its very low. Will have to hold the speaker next to your ear in a quiet room tohear the low buzz/ambient hiss sound. Kind of ike the noise you hear on your local/low quality desktop speakers if you max out the volume but don't play anything.

6. There are no earphones in the box. (Online posts confirm LG isn't providing earphones.

7. Data Cable has no branding on it. Just saying.

8.Charger is US Pin type, so you'll have to buy an adaptor. (My Gnex was in International version so had round pins)

9 I suggest buy a MicroSIM adaptor, In case you may need to use the SIM in another phone.

Coming from GNex the screen colours might feel a bit washed out. But GNex AMOLED oversaturated the colours. The N4 screen is better. Reproduces natural tones.

The speaker is Not as quiet as the GNex. Its loudness is okay imo. For your home/office use. Its good. Unless you're expecting the kinds that idiots buy phones for, expecting it to be a home theatre or some chinese phone blaring out music they csn play on the metro.

Ear speaker is crisp but on full volume gets loud.

The glass on the back feels quite cool. The only time it felt normal temperature was when I was running Antutu. (Can't measure theexact temp, as its a new SoC, so no app is accurately reporting it yet)

The phone/OS/experience is by far the zippiest I've felt on any Android.

Got my Micro SIM from Airtel for Rs. 25. They activated in about 7 hours.

Short reply cos I don't have time.

If you have any queries, ask specific questions (relevant for Indian users, cos you'll get other answers by a simple Google search)

like Thermal throttling etc, any tests you want me to run, etc. and I'll try to answer.

And no it doesn't get hot/warm (glass back I'm guessing) while charging, and also it doesn't do the annoying and painfully slow trickle charge from 90>100%) . Full power charge till 100%( although the battery stats counter auto reset if you disconnect at 90% & above, like the GNex).

Note: I'm in Delhi, so the Winter temperature factor, weather conditions et al. are a given.

I know that once you receive your UPS tracking number, you can immediately log onto their site and there's an option to modify the address or to arrange for a local pick up.

Not sure if you can do it before that. But just to be sure, call up Google at the number in your order confirmation email.

Ishop or not

I was just going to order the nexus4 from ishop because I don't have a credit card and I don't want to keep twice the amount of the phone hanging in between. But, just had a conversation with ishop cc, they won't be providing any invoice from google which is obvious but they won't be mentioning anything about warranty on ishop's bill too. That means if something happens to my phone I will be at their mercy, and I don't know whether they will get the phone replaced or not.

I know the phone is great but there is always a chance of defects, and unfortunately if mine happens to be that one defected piece what will I do.

If I order the phone myself via playstore I will still have an option to contact google and get it replaced, yes I will have to pay for shipping to and fro US but I will be doing that in case of ishop too.

People who have ordered from ishop please help.

Suggest which is a better option

DHL invoice

My phone has arrived.

I reside in Mumbai and as per DHL I need to pay them Rs 4002 for the phone. I've just ordered one phone 16 GB. For it, I feel the charges are exorbitantly high. If anyone has been charged less can you please help me out with the invoice as I need to escalate this to the DHL team

I ordered from Comgateway.

Please comment if others have been charged the same amount.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Relax, 2nd Saturday of month is holiday for customs and Sunday is naturally a holiday. Your phone arrived on 8th which was Friday. It will clear customs probably today.

[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:
Ask then for the break up. Nowadays people are getting charges 2k approx. When I ordered I would have paid 4k for at least 3 phones.

Please Help!

I placed an order for 16GB on 7th March around lunch time.

The amount has already been charged to my credit card.

In play store the status is still preordered.

My google wallet account still shows a single bullet point which says

"Mar 7 : You placed an order with Google Inc. on Mar 7. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to ________"

I sent an email to play store support team and i got a reply saying it takes 3-5 days to process an order. I again sent them an email yesterday but have not received any reply so far.

I am really running out of patience.

What should i do ? Please guide.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
chill Man. Its still weekend there. google will ship your device in 3-5 days. they will not run away with ur money. till then look for cases or screenguard.

You can register on their website and ask for a quote. They will send you an email with the quote. If you don't order in a day or so, they will call you to ask. You can then ask them to give you a discount of Rs. 500/- (normally they will offer just 100/-).

Enjoy!

Final price after Tax & Shipping

Can anyone please help me with the final price of Nexus 4 16 GB after Tax & Shipping?

Are the shipping charges and Tax different in different states of US. Also from my research done so far shipping charges are close to $13 however am not sure if $13 is for both shipping and tax or only shipping charges

Phone price : USD 349

Shipping price(in San Jose, California) : ?

Tax : ?

Please let me know as i am planning to buy it from US..Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] lovesingh25:
Still thinks NEXUS 4 in INDIA via play store is just a dream and these are rumors..

but yes NEXUS 7 is launching at a premium price(confirmed by ndtv's gadget guru

http://gadgets.ndtv.com/tablets/new...s-7-officially-coming-to-india-by-june-336254)

LG will never launch NEXUS 4 when they have their own phone(optimus G) here and Google can't launch it because of our FDI laws.

If you select india on playstore then you are redirected to nexus 7 page only and NOT nexus 4.

Select SAUDI ARABIA and you will see both nexus 4 and nexus 7.

So I think no nexus 4 here but even nexus 7 will be a good start and we can hope to see nexus 5 or 6 here.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
Suggest you to read opening post.

16GB Nexus 4 will cost you around 25K after everything.

You cannot ship to CA through package forwarding services. If you have a friend there then you can ship to him & he can forward your package to package forwarder which will then ship it to you in India.

[Nexus 4 General] thatsjay88:
Thanks for the quick reply...I did read the opening post.

I have a friend living in California and another friend in San Fransisco who would be bringing the phone to India for me. So I am not required to forward it to a package forwarder.

All I wanted to know was the final price in US itself (California) by breakup of shipping & tax charges. $32 is the Tax for NY as mentioned in the opening post..How about CA..Any idea??
[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
The tax for SF, CA is $29.66.
[Nexus 4 General] chintan.y.t@gmail.com:
i had paid 2700 when the duty was just 2% as compared to 7%,i had warned earlier not to buy from comgateway for those who live in mumbai,the dhl charges are too high,once a duty is paid by dhl,you cannot do anything,i had called them 10 times,they just told me to meet the custom officials and get the refund(if applicable) myself,they will not get involved.

Guys I am using my friends credit card, rest all details are with my name.

can anyone please confirm what name shall i put in while entering the credit details in checkout.google.com while registering the credit card with google?

the billing address will be of PPO box.
[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
I had ordered successfully with my friend's US credit card. You haven't mentioned if it is a US credit card or not.

So I'm assuming it is a US credit card. In that case,

While registering credit card with Google, enter your friend's credit card billing address (US).

While placing order for your Nexus,

Billing address would be your friend's name and his/her CC billing address and his/her number.

Shipping address would have your name and your PPObox address and the number provided by PPObox for you.

If your friend's credit card is Indian, then enter whatever address you want anywhere :p 98% there would not be any address check.

[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
Oops. Sorry didn't know if it was Indian or US.

I would say enter your friend's name and your PPObox address while registering the card. Though Google doesn't ask for the NAME ON CARD value explicitly, I'm suggesting this just to be safe that you are not changing the owner of the card altogether :)

While placing order - billing (above address), shipping - your name and your PPObox.

Also, I'm not very thrilled about using a Mastercard CC. Request you to search this thread in case of any reported failures with Mastercard CC before placing the order.

Does anyone know if there is a proven way of probing my ordered to move faster? My bank has already told me the money has been approved but google doesnt seem to understand... Would really like to have my phone in India before the new gadget unfriendly budget comes into force.

Thanks for replying. the question remains same that do they really follow our instructions(sticking the Google invoice on the package). if they do, how can we cross verify it.

this is very important thing that many of us aren't aware of. once the original invoice is pasted onto the parcel, the custom fellows will definitely give it a look and charge accordingly. and this will save is from customs shock ;)
