Can you please let me know the display on time then?

To give you an idea, about the power required for displaying black and white, have a look at Galaxy S's [AMOLED] display power consumption vs iPhone 4's [LCD's]

Of course, Galaxy SIII should have improved the power consumption/square area considerably, and probably have less overall power consumption for displaying white. Also, please note that iPhone4 uses a different technology, though both are IPS [ Low Temperature Poly Silicon (LTPS) for iPhone 4 which explains the extremely low power consumption, the N4 most likely uses CD Active Matrix Thin Film Transistors (AM TFTs) but the concept for powering the display remains the same].

Don't remove the negative feedback. They deserve it after repeatedly lying to their customers. If not, they are bound to fool lots of other customers later on who'll think that they must be reliable, looking at their rating.

Yes, he had tried rooting his device. But in the thread mentioned, I am not able to find any indication whether all the people faced the issues only when trying to root [ For eg. OP] , but there are several others who had the issue when trying to root.

I sold @36k each device..

And with loads of Xmas wishes and alot of of New Year wishes too..

See if I had not done that, maybe me and my fellow XDA gang wouldnt have had N4 Today..

I would have been sending many PM's to many people out here to get my hands on one N4..

If you're using earphones, definitely. Not sure about loud speaker.

Nope, haven't tried any of them. All I've done so far is root my device for restoring backups.

If you ask me, it doesn't matter whether they use a Pentile display or a full RGB one - 1080p should mask all the differences between the two. :)

His device got bricked after he rooted it and tried flashing a custom kernel. However, while flashing the kernel, he chose the wrong partition to flash it to - he flashed it into his boot partition, so every time he tried to boot his phone, it would boot into recovery. If you're extra careful with everything you do, there shouldn't be any problem. :)

Wow, that's like 15k profit per phone. 15k x 4 = 60k!!! :eek: Congrats bro, way to go! And please don't say money doesn't matter, you wouldn't have sold them for nearly double the price if it didn't. :D

By the way, I'd like to thank Kaushik (kaushiknfs) for helping a frustrated cart2india victim friend of mine with a Nexus 4 16GB for a very reasonable 29k (when he could have easily sold it for 35k+ here in Bangalore). :)
[Nexus 4 General] tempusviator:
Sorry to bother you again mate, I just needed to clarify this because I would be using my dad's Debit Card and he would bury me alive if he finds anything more than 22k debited. If I have just $500, then google will first charge me $363 as authorization charge which leaves $137 which isnt enough for the new charge of $363 again ?
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
I just installed the L@@K SCREEN guard from jaipur through eBay.

Its not that good. The plastic is a little rough. If you play air hockey game you will surely fail :banghead:

Secondly, there is no slit on the film on the top left side for the proximity sensor. So if you install it exactly in the middle as you should than you will notice that the film covers the sensor half way and it hinders during call etc.

Also ordered the nilkin (name not sure) back cover plus film from eBay as suggested here... Let's see what it brings :)

[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Sorry, I was in a hurry earlier and couldn't elaborate.

Here are the two scenarios assuming the phone costs you $400 (including tax, shipping):

1) You have less than $800 in your bank:

- You will be charged $400 when you place your order.

- When your order ships, they will try to charge you ANOTHER $400 but it gets declined because there is not sufficient funds in your account.

- Google emails you saying you have 7 days to update payment method.

- You call up ICICI and get the "approval code" (that's what they called it) for the earlier $400 authorization charge.

- You reply to Google saying they tried to charge you another $400 instead of claiming the pending charge which is still pending, and provide them with the approval code (you don't need to, but do it anyway just to have some reference to your older transaction) for the pending transaction and ask them to claim that instead.

- Wait for a few days, and Google will claim that transaction. :)

2) You have $800 or more in your bank:

- You will be charged $400 when you place your order.

- When your order ships, they will try to charge you ANOTHER $400 and the transaction will go through.

- You wait for whatever the hold period is on the older authorization charge.

- Once the hold period expires, your bank is credited back with the $400 from the older authorization charge. :)

Does anybody else here also thinks that camera is not that crisp, well at least in my unit and has a bit of issues while focusing objects close up. Just a thought, not that it is bad at all, i was just wondering whether it is only my unit or others as well?
[Nexus 4 General] zubin111:
Well mate you are not alone... i've been saying it all along... its not one of the best camera around...
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Sometimes naked, sometimes with Sline case..
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
Yeah...probably, i think its not a hardware thing rather some issue with the image processing software or something.....I was browsing through several threads on the internet some people have managed to capture stunning photos with N4, unfortunately i am not able to do so. There seems to be some noise when zoomed even slightly which should not happen as the pix are of the size 8mp.

Maybe its just my unit that has some ****ing camera issue, dunno, can't say much unless i have another to compare.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
^^ not alone buddy ... to put things in perspective my Original( now decommissioned Galaxy S ) had lower noise then that of N4
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
Okay dude but apart from this i feel its an amazing amazing device unlike any other be it S3 or Note 2. I have had no such issues with the touch responsiveness etc, it is super super smooth and super fast and i can vouch for that as i had been using a S3 prior to N4. I think Google or probably LG needs to just fix the image processing thing which would make it perfect for me!!!
[Nexus 4 General] depletion:
Yeah dnt even do that ,when rep called me he was asking to remove the negative comment as if i owe him money .They dn't reply to ur mails the day i ave them negative feedback with in few hours i got a call.But im yet to receive refund which is still inprogress.

I think most of the screen guards out there for N4 are not a complete fit. I ordered 4 from various dealers and none fits properly on the front side. If anyone has a link to any listing which fits almost completely on the front side, please share.

Yea, you are right, it looks so stunning without those screen guards but its too precious to me to keep it naked.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Well that is not the only problem with Pentile display/AMOLED. There are several other issues such as poor color calibration , very large color gamut which admittedly some people don't mind and even like. [ not to forget, it is not a native AMOLED issue ]

Lol. That's nice!! Great work kaushiknfs :)

Calm down buddy. I only said that your problem started after rooting. I did go through the thread. [though not completely] I was specifically addressing the question whether the issue you faced would come up without doing anything and keeping everything stock as our fellow xda mate intended to do. ( Even if this is an issue which is present for some devices even stock, it doesn't seem to surface without rooting improperly or trying custom kernel or OCing ).

Also, it seems that the OP in that thread got that issue after flashing a custom kernel and then overclocking. So, I guess most [if not all] people got the issue after either flashing a custom kernel or improper flashing. PEACE.
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
What you're saying is a little misleading and will push many people here not to root their phones.

What actually bricked your device was not rooting, but flashing CWM update on to the wrong partition, correct? At least that's what you have posted here.

Rooting itself shouldn't cause any problems if done right. Avoid using toolkits btw.

How about the extreme guard stuff?
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Just how many Nexus 4s have you ordered dude?

Btw, I spoke to a couple of local dealers here in Bangalore (the ones that have always given me reliable information on new device releases), and they say that LG is in the process of "training" (which is mostly just educating about the specs and features) the retailers, which is almost done, and are on track to to release the Nexus 4 within the 2nd week of January at a price point of 25k-28k (for 8GB and 16GB). So anyone who wants to buy one now, I'd suggest you wait at least till the 1st week of Jan if you don't find any reasonable offers. :)
[Nexus 4 General] depletion:
Hmm i guess i will wait till next friday,BTW the price is it just approximation or yet to confirm
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
All 3 separate retailers gave me almost the exact same price, so I'm pretty confident that it will be the same, +/-1k.

2 of them said it will be priced 25-28 depending on the model, and that the Optimus G, when released (they didn't give me an approximate release date for this), will cost around 34-35k.

The other guy said it will be priced at less than 30k for sure, but didn't give a price range like the other 2.

A few days ago, someone here posted that they received info of it being priced between 25-28k at launch in Delhi. Now that the info from so many sources seem pretty consistent, I'm quite confident about this.

I personally have this and they are a perfect fit for the front and the back. It perfectly sticks to the tapered screen edges and has an extremely precise cut, Only about 1mm from the sides is not covered.

It is the best screen protector I have ever used hand down! It's even better than Zagg. Check out the feedback and reviews on Amazon.

I applied it today afternoon, and now, after about 12 hours it has come out very nicely. Will post pictures in a while.

I bought two of these in case I screwed up the first time but I was able to apply perfectly in the first go. So if anybody wants one for 2k shipped, PM me.

I got (still on their way) a Diztronic Matte Black TPU Case and Skinomi Full Body Protective Skin.

To me the Diztronic TPU case looks pretty sexy. I had also shortlisted Rearth Ringke and a Nillkin Hard Case (sorry, couldn't find the Amazon link). Eliminated Nillkin because I was skeptical about how it's back would feel in hand, and chose Diztronic over Ringke simply because it looked better to me.
