I have a small adapter which i use for my Apple laptop charger, costs about 25-30 rupees in market for local one at any electrical shop.That is working fine.

There's also 305 as shipping charges but still Rs.1357 is cheaper than GEB or other listings provided the site is trustworthy and delivery time acceptable.

I have done the Unboxing of my phone everything seemed fine, was sealed and wrapped in a bubble wrap. Kudos to the Ebay Seller for shipping it so quick. The phone looks awesome as expected, felt awesome while handling it... got updated to 4.2.2 as soon as i turned on my wifi, good stuff! ... just one thing it gets a bit warmer on the back but manageable. will post the pics soon

Hey,

I ordered a Nexus 4 16GB from Google Play Store on 17 March, but this order got cancelled on 19 March. I ordered the phone again on 19 March and am waiting for tomorrow to get another confirmation from Google. Hope that it is successful. But I saw that some other people are also getting these problems like me. I heard somewhere that Google is only shipping with a US Credit Card only starting recently. Is that true ? By the way I used Citibank Credit Card. Is there a way I can make them think that it is a US Credit Card. Does using a Virtual Credit Card help in that case ? Please reply.
[Nexus 4 General] nipponsahore:
Hey man.... Lets hope for the best... This s the third time I'm trying... And I'm using a dedicated account this time around.. Hope for the best...

Km also using a ICICI Bank credit card. Lets wait and watch..

No idea about using virtual credit card.. I bet someone used it here in this forum
[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:
If you had to update it as you switched it on then it's manufactured a couple of months ago. The phones being shipped by Google from January-end onwards carry 4.2.2 (updated).

Don't be surpised if you don't ever receive it. It comes in a USPS letter envelope and is delivered by the local PO guys. Check with your local PO. They usually don't care for these high value parcels :laugh:

Custom Charges?

how much custom charges?

---------- Post added at 02:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

My phone is in pune for clearance.

CGW were not able to attach the invoice on the package.

coz i paid them before i asked them to attach the invoice on the package and it got shipped.

I have mail FedEx all invoices.

Now I can get charged very high from customs.

I hope my mistake doesn't cost me much. :confused:

There had been no changes in the hardware (or pricing) over this period, so why worry! Enjoy!

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 AM ----------

They'll send your order again, no questions... But the thing is that your local postal office might be the culprit! So check up with them first... It's a simple USPS bubbled sealed envelope, they may or may not take care of it without any tracking...

I ordered a screen guard from Gadget Shieldz via ebay using a coupon code, are their Screenguards good ? or better than XtremeGuard that ppl here are talking about and waiting for so long to be shipped from US? because GadgetShieldz has a 'India' section
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
No, I ordered on 2nd MArch from US Play Store. I still had to update it to 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 General] jc1986:
has anyone ordered from jadopado.com?
[Nexus 4 General] harshag:
Keep calm and get one from GadgetShieldz.in !

Even i fell for the sale from XtremeGuard got it after 15 days ,the quality of it is pathetic compared to GadgetShieldz which ships from Chennai in 2 days.

Gadgetshieldz though it costs 399 Rs for full body protection it covers the entire body i mean the sides , top and bottom parts as well whereas XG covers only front and back.

I have applied Gadgestshiledz last week and quality is excellent
[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
Thanks for the info, btw I am not familiar with the wet application thingy, an I am not confident that I would apply it properly either, so can I get it to mobile shop and would they do it for me?
[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:
Just watch the video and apply. It's quite simple. Most of us did this for the first time!

The mobile shop guys may do it worse than you yourself!

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

Don't know mate. Most of us and all my friends didn't have to update. It was on 4.2.2 when unboxed!
[Nexus 4 General] harshag:
Take an hour or two out of your time and lots of patience, if possible one more person to position the phone properly while you are doing it.

It takes time, but straight forward. I used a good liquid hand wash and it worked like a charm.

Dont goto local mobile shops, they would do an awful job since they have been dealing with dry protectors all these days and not with Wet ones.

I am sure you would be able to get it right if you are patient enough !
[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
Surely will give it a try, first I'll watch some videos on youtube about how to do it, I should get the screen protectors by monday i assume, i had ordered it yesterday. Are the wet ones better than the dry ones?

Hey guys,

I received invoice from ppobox on 20 March 2013. Just want to make sure they are not charging anything extra.

Total amount due = Rs. 2412

Item Actual Weight Including Volumetric (lbs.): 0.97

ICC Shipping, Handling & Taxes: 618

Duty & Clearance Fees: Rs. 1,570

Insurance Fees: Rs. 224
[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
Wow congrats! It's great that you get 4.2.2 update out of the box. This means it's a US playstore version.

What do you mean about the heating issue? How much phone gets heated up while using?

How good is the camera and speaker quality?
[Nexus 4 General] rbrblitz:
Even I had 4.2.2 out of the box.
[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
Did you bought from e-next too (ebay deal)? Share your experience.
[Nexus 4 General] harshag:

[Nexus 4 General] marijuana123:
planning to finally order through i shop,as i don't hav any visa,mastercard debit or credit card

what i only have is maestro cirrus sbi debit card which i think doesn't work.

what my query is -

1.will they provide original invoice

2.if yes how do i claim my u.s warranty when needed ,as that will be booked through somebody else google acc

3.what other things i should be concerned about.

Thank you,Any help will be appreciated...
[Nexus 4 General] mohit_delhi:
They dont provide original invoice

you cannot claim any warranty

IMHO, warranty only helps you feel psychologically good, coz even if you have it then also its not as easy task to claim it, as you would need to ship your phone back to US & then ship back again to India (it would be a costly affair). I think if you want to own a phone not launched in India yet, then you ought to have some appetite for risk, cant have all the bases covered :)

Btw, I had also requested a quote from Ishop, their quote was 24771 approx, But I went ahead and got it from ebay as I was getting a good deal after applying discount coupon, it offered me more peace of mind...sos didnt mind spending arnd 2k extra. But so far I have not heard any negative reviews about ishop either...
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Not neccesary. LG has not made bazillion different versions with different product code(takju, yakju, yakjuw etc etc) like Samsung did with Galaxy Nexus of which only 2 are being updated by Google and rest are Samsung's responsibility. All Nexus 4 phones are the same and will be getting updates directly from Google, whether it's bought from Play Store or not.

I recall someone posting here that the Nexus 4's sold by ebay guy are in fact procured from Nigeria. So they are not US Play store version. However as I said it does not matter

as you'll get updates from Google either ways.
[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
Thanks for this useful information. It's great LG made single firmware devices.

Can you tell how you rooted your Nexus 4? Please give me the link from where you get the instructions.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
There are lots of toolkits available. However I would recommend doing it step by step manually. This way you'll learn what goes into the process which can be helpful.

If you won't be rooting soon, atleast unlock the bootloader as soon as you get the phone. Unlocking wipes your phone so it will be difficult

to do it once you have used it for some time and have apps/data on it.

Go here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312

Follow these steps from the tutorial

Step A - This will install all the required drivers for Nexus 4

Step D[1-4] - This will unlock your bootloader

Step E - This will root your device.

If you want to go via the automated toolkit method, download WuguFresh Nexus 4 toolkit and it will do everything for you at click of a button
[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
You mean to say after recieving the phone. I should only unlock the bootloader and root the device, nothing else. This is it.

Please tell me more about Nexus Root Toolkit WuguFresh. I'm not some software engineer who can do manual process and learn.
[Nexus 4 General] prateek2888:
I am a noob when it comes to android phones (dont have one :P). Why do people root/flash their phones (apart from being able to use some apps which require root functionality)? Does it mean the "purity" of the phone will be lost (as in it wont be Stock Jelly Bean anymore but some custom ROM)? I would be grateful if someone enlightened me.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
It's not required. unlocking / rooting is only required to mod your device, flash different kernels and/or ROM's.

Unlocking bootloader wipes the device, that's the reason I suggest it to be done as soon as you get the device. It's pain to backup stuff and

unlock bootloader after couple of days of using the phone.

Once bootloader is unlocked, rooting can be done anytime you wish. Rooting does not wipe anything.

Nexus devices are easiest to root. Type 3 commands in fastboot and you are rooted.
[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
Hello, I understand that unlocking the bootloader would wipe everything off, but what is the difference between Unlocking Bootloader and Rooting the device? also what if I take a backup using Titanium Backup ?
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
Can you share the pictures of the nexus after applying gadgetshieldz. I have applied it on back & front but not on sides. I was having difficulty. Would like to see how it looks on side.
[Nexus 4 General] ashish2199:
same here

When did you buy it ? Where ado you live ?

Me ordered on 18 Mon

Got my aramex tracking number today .When I click on it it says invalid :crying:

Seller told me that he had already shipped the item yesterday
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
A locked bootloader does not allow non Google firmware to run on the device. Unlocking a bootloader is process by which non stock bits

will be allowed to run.

Rooting is a process of injecting su binary and app to get root access to the device. You need to unlock the bootloader to do this.

AFAIK you can't take a backup using TiBu without being rooted, so you need to root to do a backup and you need to unlock to root which wipes

your device.

I heard carbon backup allows non rooted backup but never tried it.
[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
Alright captain! got your point. fair enough I'll Unlock the bootloader tonight :D, but just one thing that is worrying me that, I have purchased this phone via tha Ebay Seller, and he is giving 1 month warranty, so unlocking the bootloader would void the warranty, wont it? also, could you please suggest the best ROM for my Nexus 4 full of new features and decent performance .
[Nexus 4 General] qwerty156:
New entrant!

Just got a brand spanking new nexus 4 8GB from ebay.in for- wait for it - Rs. 21,275 :D

[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
Simply ask for replacement.
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
Nope, i got mine that was manufactured on jan yet it was not 4.2.2, fyi: i got my device on march 14

wait for some more days and then notify xtreme guard, if its lost in transit or something they could replace it. I got mine at march 17, almost 15 days after i ordered

i had to pay 2268 inr to dhl... it was on the higher side, but still its fine for nexus
[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
No screen protectors .... fishy... contact the seller and tell him about the issue and get it replaced
[Nexus 4 General] harshag:
It has come great ! :cowboy:I need another cam for it, but will do i soon !
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
People root not just for titanium backup or su, its bcoz of the option of roms that you get after u unlock the bootloader and install new roms, you can have a htc sense rom or optimus g rom in your nexus and it would function just like it use to. & there is no purity thing, u can root and use stock jb without any issue if u wish to. search xda or my blog for more details abt rooting, roms etc

there is no harm unlocking the bootloader as you can always lock it back. thats the beauty of android and mainly nexus, no restriction:cool:
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Since Nexus 4 is AOSP, there is no cruft installed like Touchwiz or Sense so any ROM will be fine with respect to performance.

For features here are the options

Stock - Good, less features

CM - Couple of features, well tested and stable

AOKP - Every feature under the sun

PA - CM like features, but most important customization is the per app dpi/color setting and pie ui

Performance and battery life is more tied to kernel then to the ROM. Stock kernel is good, but not great. Try Harsh or Franco kernel. I've

found both to be good. Am using CM with Franco as of now.

Yes unlock option is the one to unlock bootloader.

[Nexus 4 General] rohit.r6:
no update as yet... I place my order on 18th and still to get the 2nd bullet point...m wondering what Google's been upto:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
This is one for optimus like features... its still in alpha stage ang i would advice you to wait for some more time until its perfected.

i dunno wat all features devlepor will add on later but you can always request him... here is the link

Edit: as of now i am using rooted stock rom. no kernel. but i prefer aokp roms for their functionality and have always used them when i had nexus s
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
If you are new to Android and/or rooting, I would suggest you play around with stable roms like CM/PA/AOKP and explore their features before

jumping into something highly experimental like Optimus G ROM.

One advice I can give you about flashing, whenever a new version of your ROM/Kernel comes out, don't go and flash it ASAP. Let it be there for

a day or two, read the thread and see if there are any major issues. If there are no issues then go ahead and flash.

There was a case in S2 forums where due a combination of new source drop and faulty emmc chips, devices started bricking left and right after a new kernel release without any way to restore them other than go to SC and ask for mother board change. I wasn't affected by it since it was pulled before I could download and flash it. But this taught me a good lesson to wait a day before flashing anything and especially anything related to kernel.
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
You better buy one from eBay US and be going. Since the last few weeks, All International cards are a victim of authorization problem and if your order is stuck at pre-order status then you can have my word. Check the N4 order processing thread and you will see that orders from Germany, France are stuck in the simmilar fashion. You can get factory sealed N4 8gb on US EBay for as low as $330. I just did that and cancelled my 4th order
[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
I am not absolutely new to rooting or android, I had rooted and installed quite a few different roms on my previous phone which was LG Optimus One (P500), I'll sure take ur advice and install some stable roms at first and then go with experiental roms :)
[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
Thanks! What do you should I do first? Update 4.2.0 to 4.2.2 first then unlock and root or first unlock and root then update. I'm gonna use WugFresh Toolkit in the demo video he said 4.2.0 has some bug in unlocking, is that so?
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
i rooted mine first and then i got the 4.2.2 update, once it rebooted, cwm ask to apply retain the recovery & su or not. so basically you shouldn't be facing any prob before or after rooting & updating 4.2.2
[Nexus 4 General] Ankit_o_O:
I'll just post my experience here because I got it from e-next:

I did not buy from eBay.I stay in Bangalore so I called them up and bought it from their physical location.

They don't actually have a store,its just like a godown from where they ship d phones.

I was a little hesitant from buying from such a place( they could just shut everything and run away overnight) but yielded to my temptation.I bought one ,opened d box and checked it thoroughly and told the seller that I'll come back if there's any issue with d phone.He seemed more than happy to replace if it was within d 30 days time.

They don't give d Google play store bill; they'll bill it in a receipt saying Ashish distributors pvt ltd.

I have been using it since the last two days and no issues.Product is genuine.

Oh,and yes I typed this out on my Nexus ;)
[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
By using WugFresh Tool? If yes. Tell me there was an option for custom recovery under root option. What does it actually do?
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Guys Toolkit have a chance of bricking your device more than the normal fastboot way.

I would highly recommend you using fastboot.

First you learn maths, and then you use calci right? ;)
