It's not a fault, you can spend as much as you like on a phone, but if it had a moving component (ie. the camera's auto focus mech) it's going to rattle if you shake it.
[Nexus 4 General] dale_cooper:
You're actually right... I just did my same little finger tap test on my one s - it gets "tinny" as you are in the upper third of the phone near the camera... it also has the slight rattle.

Guys the phone looks and feels great - nuff said.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Don't think it's been mentioned before. Guy posting a short review recently mentioned tapping on the back would make it rattle a bit. Here is a theory. Is conductive coil loose or tight? Any handy guy with a torx screwdriver should be able to take it off and check for the rattle on the cover ;)

I don't have one, or I would have checked it.

[Nexus 4 General] derlotse:
After one day my impressions of my brand new nexus 4.

I come from a HTC one X which had the greatest screen: natural bright colors, extremely sharp.

On the nexus 4 colors appear a bit flat in the beginning.. But actually it is also very colorful..it seems to me only the color temperature is somewhat lower and everything appears slightly cooler. After one day I'm used to it and find it shows fantastic colors.

It is ultra sharp, same as one x.

What I like even more on the nexus is the screen ratio: due to 1280x768 (vs 1280x720 on hox) the screen is wider but not so high: perfect for me, now I can reach the top of the screen with my thumb, the keys on the keyboard have a wider spacing and I have far less typos!

Also the accuracy and sensitivity of the touchscreen is much better.

Additionally the system is ultra smooth and responsive, just love it!

Battery is also much better than hox - there I managed to get 3.5 hours screen on time on a 16 hour day.. Now on nexus 4 it is approaching 4.5 hours easily.

Considering that my hox, once a 600 € device, needed 1/2 year to become as good as it is now (+3 times sending in to fix gps) it is just incredible what a 350€ device can do one day after release!

Well done LG and Google.

(Now they should just hurry up to build more at the same quality level..)

[Nexus 4 General] kresk:
Where do I even begin?.. I'm just going to say that everything you've heard positive about the device has been 100% for me. From the amazing hardware to the beautiful software. There is one thing personally that I'm not a huge fan of but with all the good things I can surely get over it. That one thing is the head phone jack being at the top instead of the bottom like my Nexus S. To me, it just makes sense to be at the bottom. As I said, it's not a deal breaker but it'll take some getting used to.
[Nexus 4 General] princebama:
Will definitely hold on to my GS3 til I confirm which of the 2 I like best. If its a tie, I'll choose N4 just for the better update support
[Nexus 4 General] aero25:
Can anyone comment on the camera responsiveness (focus lock and image capture speed) between the N4 and the GS3? Especially in low light, like inside your house. Much appreciated! :)
[Nexus 4 General] publet:
can more people comment on the sound/audio quality with headphones?

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] benrees21:
Great sound. I'm asking all N4 owners to go to the people app and go to edit one of your contacts and go to add event. Tell me if you see what is wrong! It has something to do with setting a date. :p

I read about the December thing, how December cannot be selected as a date for an event. A bug so small, but also so massively harmful to people with busy Decembers!
[Nexus 4 General] benrees21:
Crazy bug. Can't believe that slipped through.

Haha funny bug ;)

Its pretty easy to fix...

Maybe an OTA at 31th December fix it LOLz or google don't believe on santa... Or maybe... Press 13 times on the santa easteregg to active december, like develipment setttimgs xD

Just press thanks button if I help, instead saying :D
[Nexus 4 General] Monkeybrew:
Nope. No antenna, nor power supply for the chip.
[Nexus 4 General] GhostIsBaked:
I read that it is fine on the Calendar, but it is missing on the People app date picker.

For example, if you were to set someones birthday under a contact, the date picker would not show December in the list of months.
[Nexus 4 General] robzonpl:
Yep, that's the only case where the bug exists. In regular calendar and all other date pickers everything is just fine.

@shadyshaun

Firstly thanks for your time to answer questions and give us some proper user feedback instead of 'vague' 'biased' reviews.

My question is this:

Do you use the tapatalk app for xda forums? If so, do you get any kind of stuttering when scrolling through posts etc?
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Hi -

It's 61mm x 94mm

Without a shed load of superglue there is no way i can see you attaching a wrist strap.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Ok so I was wrong .. my bad ... no need to get your internet balls out
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Hi, you're welcome - i always read the forums generally before making a purchase so am trying my best to help.

Unfortunately i don't use the tapatalk app, i just went to download it but it's a paid app and buying the phone from o2 means my wallet has taken enough of a hammering today. Sorry i couldn't help on that one
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
How does it feel in the hand compared to the GNEX? Are the smoothed screen edges really a noticeable enhancement to the design or just simply a gimmick? How about signal/network compared to GNEX?
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
In addition to Linpack and Quadrant Advanced, could you also please run Egypt HD Classic (onscreen and offscreen) benchmark? Curious to see if the score is going to be consistent with that of the freezer test (since you will be running just this test alone, it shouldn't throttle).
[Nexus 4 General] chrisgtl:
Can you try the XDA-Developers app which is free on the play store?
[Nexus 4 General] juniorbattle:
If you could make a phone call and test noise cancelling microphone for us. Appreciate your help and time on the forum.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
As crazy as it sounds i prefer the GNEX in hand for the following reasons.

While the N4 feels more premium, it also feels more fragile. The plastic back and sides on the gnex was reassuing for me. I have had it from release day and that plastic cover has taken a hamering without much sign of wear. I have a feeling i wont be able to say the same about the N4

The recess on the gnex screen meant that it was protected from the most common types of damage (For me) i.e droping it on a corner meant the plastic which was bulletproof took the brunt of it. While the glass on the n4 is beautifully almost melted onto the phone it sticks out. This means any drop that doesnt land on the back is going to hit the screen....actually thinking about it as the back is glass no matter how it lands glass is hitting a hard surface. I have ordered a bumper from the play store, but i don't like retro fitting parts to protect a vulnerable design.

Lastly the texture of the gnex back made it less likely to slip out of the hand than the glass back.

Anyone reading this may wonder why i have bought the phone with the above in mind. It's simple really. I love new tech, as i'm sure we all do.

Am i going to break this phone in the next few weeks? Probably - will i claim on insurance and get another one? you bet.

sorry i missed the signal question -

I made the mistake of getting a THREE sim as my gnex t-mobile sim didnt fit. It's hard to comment fairly because their network seems so poor for anything but data. The strange thing being though that the phone shows no bars of signal in the house but calls come in clearly. When making calls with a decent signal the quality is excellent, the best i have experienced from a mobile phone. The wi fi range is FAR superior to the GNEX and also connection time to GPS is far quicker, i was quite shocked with how quickly it locked on.
[Nexus 4 General] GR36:
I did the same got mine from o2.

Quadrant is attached
[Nexus 4 General] ctfrommn:
And the "rubber" surrounding it doesnt make is slip proof? I baby all my devices so I am not too worried. I didnt like the way the GNEX felt, which was one of the reasons I skipped it. Mine is coming soon so hopefully I will like this better. Any more real world use quirks/isms you notice please let us know. Thanks again for sharing this with us!
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Just downloaded and had a good play. It is super smooth, in fact if you swipe quickly it is to fast to read without stuttering.

Quite impressive actually. I'm going to keep that app :o
[Nexus 4 General] darkcurrent:
That is really small....

works out to be 4.4 inches diagonal of effective viewing space...
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
The rubber surrounding doesn't feel that rubbery at all, not compared to what i was expecting. It is far harder. That said, yes it is better than nothing at all when stoping it slipping out of your hand.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
I was looking at this earlier and couldn't work out why there was so much wasted real estate at the bottom. There is far more 'Black space' below the soft buttons than on the gnex
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Noise cancellation seems good . It's certainly not an issue
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Hi,

Wifi direct in the wifi settings?
[Nexus 4 General] milkisgood123:
Can you go more in debt as to the speak quality of the Nexus 4? The galaxy nexus speaker was terrible.

Here are some tests:

1) Speaker with regards to music play

2) Speaker with regards to any noise like google voice or ring tones

3) Speaker with regards to having a conversation over the phone

For all purposes you can use full volume. Thank you.
[Nexus 4 General] lazarat:
How much storage is available?
[Nexus 4 General] RoadHazard:
Agressive thermal throttling seems to, unfortunately, be a very real issue with the phone.

[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
The speaker and call quality are high points. It's a shame the placement of the speaker means it's muffled when resting on a table etc
[Nexus 4 General] JeanneD4RK:

(like in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=34077247)

Thanks for your feedback and answering our questions.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
I had the choice and the N4 wins hands down. I'm not sure what's going on with the benchmark scores but i have used the GS3 (albeit for a couple of day) and can confidently say the N4 was the right choice.
[Nexus 4 General] herzau:
screen time?

Any chance to watch HD video? Im curious as to your impressions vs GN.
[Nexus 4 General] danielsf:
Is the display washed out like the nexus 7's at all. I have the galaxy s3 international, just bought the nexus 4 16gb today and am worried about it's screen. What would you say the saturation of the screen is like? Have you seen a nexus 7, if you have would you say the colors are any more saturated than the nexus 7's? :)
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
At first i was underwhelmed slightly, i think i expected more from the screen. But it's dark now and the benefits are much clearer.

One thing i will say. In reviews people were raving about the screen in direct sunlight, i have to say i didn't find it to be much better than the gnex on auto brightness when outside today. It's better if you turn the brightness right up, but the trade off with power consumption surely isn't worth it.
[Nexus 4 General] brandonstuff85:
that's quite impressive. do you know what the starting charge was? I am curious to see how it fairs after a full charge and full day's use.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Yes that was my initial disappointment as per my previous post. I was expecting a more vibrant screen, but it is far more like the Nexus 7. That, in fact is a good comparison. The colour is far softer than the GS3, i'm not sure if i would call it washed out. But softer yes.

When the novelty wears off and this is used normally daily then the battery based on today's use is going to be very good.
[Nexus 4 General] wynand32:
My Moto Photon had a rattle as well that was clearly the camera autofocus mechanism. One easy way to test is to start the camera app, listen for a click, and then see if the rattle is still there while the camera app remains open. If it's not, then it's the camera. If it is, then it's something else.
[Nexus 4 General] Ryuuga:
I've read a lot about the N4. Coming from N1, I bet it will be a huge upgrade.

Do you guys think i should get the N4 or One X?

I like HTC's build quality and I've heard good stuff about the One X but I also want to get the fastest phone.

The fact that N4 doesn't have removable batt is quite an issue especially when I flash different ROMs and I need to batt pull when things go wrong.

Are there any other phone suggestions? Remember, I am coming from a N1 and as much as I love the phone, It cannot keep up with the new ROMs.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Hi,

The exact % no, but it was pretty much fully charged out of the box.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Shaun,

Thanks for your initial impression; please do the following for me:

1) Drop your phone straight down flat onto its back and see if there are any cracks in the glass back. Take pictures

2) Submerge it in water and time how long it takes for the screen to shut off. Video please

3) Submit the front screen to an acetylene torch and time how long it takes for the glass to burn warp. Take a video

4) How much of the phone can you fit into your mouth? Pics please

;) Gratz on getting your phone mate; forget about "washed out" screens and such and enjoy it. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
I've just compared two HD videos. One a planet earth scenes clip, the other a disney pixar clip. both clips looked excellent IF you turn the brightness right up. The whole brightness issue is becoming a bit of a pain. Maybe i'm just used to the exaggerated colours of the gnex.

It is stunning picture on the N4 though.

Also what is becoming annoying. I'm not sure what they have coated the screen with but it makes fingerprints far worse than on the gnex, to the point where watching snow / mountains in the clips it affected the quality of the picture (Making it darker) Running the same clip on the gnex did not have the same issue.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
I'm pretty sure i can get the whole thing in my mouth, getting it out would be another thing all together though....

Ok something very cool (Or at least i think so)

So i'm logged into google+ on my desktop using chrome. I had googled T-Mobile in my home town.

5 minutes later i went back to my phone and in "google now" it had found the nearest t-mobile store, given me the route and estimated time.

I had heard of flights and appointments being taken from emails, but that is impressive!

Google Now is only getting better. I have been the update version on my Skyrocket and it's truly impressive. I actually am looking forward to getting the email from Google with my N4's shipping information just to see if a card pops up for tracking it (as it's supposed to). When I was trying to get a Chromebook two weeks ago I would search for Best Buys in my local area and later cards for each of them would be waiting for me in Now. Very smart.

Thanks for your answers mate.

FYI, Three uses HD voice in a quite a few places, and from my previous experience with them, as long as you are connected to the tower, even if signal bar is empty, call will come through crystal clear. That's why I went back to them from Vodafone which stuttered with 1/2 bars very often.

So, did they make "THE" miracle and solved the 22fps video recording issue?
[Nexus 4 General] neotekz:
a question to the OP, how is the cellular reception of this phone compared to the gnex? this is the main reason why i would want to upgrade from my gnex. if you still have your gnex can you post the dBm levels of the two phone at the same location using the same network? you can see the dBm levels when you go to settings->about phone->status->signal strength. thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] outz:
Thanks for commenting on the wifi. I haven't read a single review regarding it... So good to know its a bit stronger. The weak wifi is the most annoying thing to me with the s3 and gnex.
[Nexus 4 General] arzbhatia:
How are the black levels?
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
It's not a perfect solution, but for when I am doing something where I feel I am at higher risk of dropping my phone (concerts, yard work, etc) I bought one of these from RadioShack and filled the jack with epoxy and then inserted the end of a wrist strap and let it cure. If it gets bumped hard enough it pops out, and you can't use the headphones and the wrist strap at the same time, but it is better than nothing.

Do you have a high end game like NFS:MW, if so does it run smooth and does it get hot? Benchmarks really push the phone too far and it might not throttle at all in real life.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
No screen lifting issue like the N7. The glass feels almost melted on. While not as safe as the gnex if you drop it, it certainly looks / feels nicer
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
I don't remember which one, but I saw a guy address this exact question in one of the review videos I watched. It comes to around 4.3-4.4 inch effective screen area (not counting the soft buttons or the top status bar).
[Nexus 4 General] ferozfero:
Not counting the soft keys is OK..but not counting the status bar for the screen size is ridiculous..every single android phone has the status bar..
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Hi - I have need for speed and it doesn't skip a beat, it gets slightly warm but nothing like the gnex.

I agree about the benchmarks, it doesn't seem to add up to how the phone is performing in real world conditions
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Black levels are excellent, very impressive.
[Nexus 4 General] jacklebott:
Apparently, they did indeed fix the 22fps issue, and it's properly at 30fps now
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Wi Fi is far better. It was also one oy my main gripes with the gnex. It's coverage is excellent.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Hello,

I'm sorry the gnex is on t-mobile and the n7 on Three (Which i will hopefully be getting out of later today)

So i can't compare

Either Three are useless or the phone has an antenna from 1998. I will put money on it being three being useless (In my area)
