Good work!

No not yet, i was holding fire until i heard more on the rattling issue to see if i needed to get it swapped out (Sorry people for mentioning rattlegate again)

Also there is no AOSP branch for this yet so no devs cooking? I might be wrong though.

God i remember the hassle rooting the Desire HD, things have changed huh?

For the gnex there was an app with a gui, so literally a point and click process for rooting and unlocking which was nice. Hopefully someone will build similar for the N4
[Nexus 4 General] KevinMemphis:
Freezes or reboots?

I'm wondering about the stability of device. Has anyone experienced any random reboots or freezes with the N4? I'm one the unfortunate souls who owned the LG Reboot2X (a.k.a.the G2X), so I'm just a little skeptical about LG devices. Finally, how quick do apps load? Professional reviewers tend to ignore this and only write about O.S system performance. I saw Words with Friends on somebody's task manager screen, does it open instantly? How about a few examples of other common apps that new N4 owners might have?

Great info, thanks guys.
[Nexus 4 General] slind:
Just got my N4. It is defective. Touchscreen doesnt respond in an area around Buttons U J and N. It is so damn annoying ....
[Nexus 4 General] timlambo:
Someone has posted in another thread that they had a reboot when updating the software and couldn't reboot back to the os. He had to do some research and eventually solved it. Just a little something to be wary of.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
This morning when i turned the phone on there were a couple of glitches with widgets flickering. This was while on charge and has not happened while running on battery power.

Yesterday i held my gnex next to the N4 and opened different apps at the same time to compare.

Apps open super fast. I never felt the gnex was laggy, but in comparison it is. Even with lots of different apps open it doesn't miss a beat and after a few days use can say it isn't a concern. You wont be disappointed with the speed of the phone. As for freezes and reboots i have read a couple of reports but have not experienced it myself in the last 3 days.
[Nexus 4 General] reddv1:
Does you Nexus 4 touch screen not seem as sensitive as galaxy nexus? On mine it's not sensitive to light touches.

When I first bought the phone I had trouble pulling down the notification drawer, but dismissed it because I thought I touched under the screen. However, in the Gmail app today trying to click 'show pictures in message' it wouldn't register my touch as I do it really quick when I open a message. Also, the keyboard misses s few letters if I don't press harder on the screen.

I tested it by placing my finger on the screen very lightly but still feeling the screen on my finger and no touches registered until I pressed down harder. My Galaxy Nexus screen on the other hand is so sensitive, that before I even feel the screen it registers a touch.
[Nexus 4 General] Testraindrop:
Just tested it with my heavily undervolted (!) S2...

Reached easily 65°C then started to throttle to 800Mhz from 1.2 Ghz.

What do you expect from a CPU stress test and 4(!) cores at 1.5Ghz(!!) in a phone (!!!) ?

So 65°C is max for the S2... good to know after 1.5 years.... never reached that in real usage...

What do you think will use all 4 cores at max speed at all times in real world usage, games will be limited by the gpu, only benchmarks are coming to my mind.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Just tried this and got completely different results. I ran it 3 times and while the stability test for the gpu was stuttering between 30 and 60 fps it didnt get any hotter than 65 degrees after about a minute with all 4 cores running at 1.2Ghz at that temp. The phone itself barely got hot at all.

I hope you haven't got a faulty handset :/
[Nexus 4 General] raze599:
Mine has a bit of rattle too. Seems to come from the upper half of the phone. It is quite audible to be honest. However since everything is working fine it doesnt bother me a bit xD
[Nexus 4 General] raggedstone:
Just thought I'd mention that the rattle is definitely not coming from the accelerometer. Although I'm not familiar with what device they are using in the nexus 4, it will definitely be a MEMS accelerometer. I used to design MEMS devices for a living, and they are way too small and well packaged to rattle. My money would be on the camera.
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Glad i'm not going mad. While it doesn't bother me, i was initially worried that something was loose / broken inside. That's clearly not the case

Glad your phone is all working fine :)
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
That's really interesting - thanks for the input. It is coming from the top half of the phone, so the camera could be the culprit.

What seems strange is it makes the same noise as a camera lens i have for the NEX-5N in that case it is the shutter blades.

If you hold it in focus the noise stops. Logically thinking it's the same thing i have held the N4's camera in focus and the issue persists?!

Like others have said, it's probably not a deal breaker. More of an interesting issue it would be nice to get to the bottom of.
[Nexus 4 General] dillym34:
Battery so far on first full charge. Will update when below 20%
[Nexus 4 General] timlambo:
Looks like you might get about 4.5h of screen on time there. Not bad for a first charge.
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
3g?
[Nexus 4 General] Martin_Ro:
Habe my N4 now for 5h, and I love it so far.

Only thing that is not Working 100% is boat Browser and Firefox, think it's 4.2 related and will be fixed soon. Both are crashing unexpected. Any thing else is working like a charm.

I have a strong feeling that battery highly depends on radio signal strength. It's real bad in my home and so is battery currently.

In City battery was far better

Will see it tomorrow @work because signal is quite strong there.

Ohh and thanks infroming me about rattling. I'm very OCD about stuff like that :(

GLONASS is fantastic. My office is in some sort of GPS dead zone, yet the N4 gets a million sats locked on in seconds :good:

I was surprised to find that wife's S3 uses glonass as well. GPS Test let's you see what sats you pick up. Amazing accuracy.

All these issues were already there on my Play without me even noticing them! Shook the phone next to ear; heard rattling. Put earpiece to ear; heard the weird sound.

I hope someone compiles all the points to check or to-do list after getting this device to check if it's faulty unit or not. It should be a lot of help to a lot of new users.

[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
Thanks ! :)

I guess its a simply matter of personal preference, my biggest problem with the SG3 is that it always looked to me a little tacky and exaggerated. Funny thing is that the only thing I'm enjoying about the iPhone 4S I'm stuck using right now until tomorrow its the color accuracy of it (cant believe i'm admitting there's something about the iPhone I like lol ) But then again I'm a photographer so for me accurate color display dictates whether I'm gonna like a phone or not..

Certainly better than Chris Pirillo's poor excuse for a video, where apparently it was more important to see him than the phone in any reasonable detail, while two guys who know less about that phone than somebody who read the product page on Google banter back and forth about haptic feedback. And you appear to be a less annoying human being.

Haha! That would be hilarious :D
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
Ah why did you tell me this....I had to try it ;)

I'm now sitting here looking like a madman.

Yup mine does it to. It's the same noise you get when you hold a mobile near to a speaker. Isn't it something to do with RF shielding?
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
When turning the screen on after being on charge all night does anyone else's screen icons / widgets act like an epileptic at a strobe convention?

They all flicker badly. Once i unplug the charger it stops.

Not the end of the world but would be interested if anyone has had a similar experience.

Hmm... Weird, it should go much faster .... Did you checked your coverage on Three website?? Maybe there is No DC-HSPA+ in your area... I'm getting better results on standard HSPA...

Can anyone who actually has the phone confirm whether or not there is now Quick Settings in 4.2? The preview video on AndroidPolice showed pulling down notifications, and then pulling down again to open Quick Settings - is it there?

Yes its there. Either pull down notifications then click the quick settings button, or just pull down with two fingers takes you direct to quick settings

Yeah it's a fair bit louder.
[Nexus 4 General] G1ukos:
Can you hear it 1 inch away from the speaker on gnex or nexus4?
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
No - If i move the phone away from my ear slightly i can't hear it.

I wouldn't have noticed it if it hadn't been pointed out by someone else so it's not obvious.

Hope that helps :)
[Nexus 4 General] G1ukos:
Great!

What about the display?

Do you think your eyes prefer ips+ or amoled? Do you experience more or less eye strain from nexus4 compared with gnex?
[Nexus 4 General] shadyshaun:
I've changed my mind a few times over the last few days. I think there are pros and cons for both.

I think personally i prefer the colours on the amoled, but there is no doubt the N4 is far easier on the eye in terms of strain, especially at night.

I never had the burn in issues on the gnex that others have experienced, so the display for me was good (Once the brightness was finally sorted out) The colours on the N4 are much softer, not that it's necessarily a bad thing.

The N4 does have a much sharper picture though IMO.

Others may disagree and this is just my findings. I hope that helps.

[Nexus 4 General] rbrucemtl:
I would miss AMOLED

What I love about AMOLED is the technologie... the pixels are organic and emitting light! It's magic! and I like the colors to look a bit exaggerated, vivid .

That just seems to make LCD feel more outdated to me.

My option of course...

I want a N4 (after AOSP suport and 32GB) but I will very much miss the AMOLED magic.
[Nexus 4 General] düdldihüü:
I've got mine today! Hardware-wise there are absolutely no issues whatsoever. No yellow tint, no light-bleeding, nothing. Only the "rattling" that was described by others can be heard with my device, too but it's definitely the camera shutter/auto-focus, as I can locate the rattling to the location of the camera. Additionally, it sounds exactly like the rattling of my beloved HD2. So I'm not worried about that.

First thing I did was the OTA update and then I begun installing apps, running benchmarks, getting my contacts on it and whatnot. The N4 came with 90% battery and after almost 5h with it (screen on: 3h (auto-brightness)) it was at 10% and I'm now loading at the moment. But keep in mind that I downloaded a whole lot of stuff and ran quite a few benchmarks.

So at the moment, I would say that battery life is quite decent, especially since I didn't start at 100% and the battery has yet to run through a few charge and drain cycles to get where it should be.

Other than that, the N4 is blazingly fast, everything runs perfectly smooth. The display is awesome and it has a really deep black. It feels very nice in the hand and even though I have really sweaty hands I have no problems holding it. Some people asked whether one can feel the "melted" glass that is rounded to the sides, and I definitely do. It feels really nice when swiping stuff to the sides of the screen.

At boot I have 1,6 GB of free RAM (I think) and after doing some stuff I still have 1,2 GB free. Storage-wise I have 13 GB free.

When you have more questions, feel free to ask and I'll answer as well as I can :)

By the way, I live in Germany and got it at 10 AM local time.
[Nexus 4 General] mgorman:

It would appear that lg have not released a full manual for the nexus 4 after a lovely discussion with a rather useless LG rep. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come from LG.....
[Nexus 4 General] düdldihüü:
I can only compare it to my HD2 but it tops the HD2 in sensitivity. For example scrolling through your contacts or a long site in the browser is done with a simple, barely touching finger swipe. I think it's really good.

[Nexus 4 General] düdldihüü:
I don't know if anyone wrote something about the new lockscreen, yet but here are my impressions: You can quickly access the camera by swiping the lockscreen to the left which is quite neat. By swiping right you can add additional lockscreen pages on which you can put widgets. This feature could also be really cool but at the moment I personally don't like it too much. Here is why: You cannot put more than one widget on a lockscreen (or I am too dumb to do it ;)) and if you turn your screen off and on again, it always shows your standard lockscreen. So, for example, you swipe right to see your calendar and then switch the screen off and on, you see the lockscreen with the clock again (if this is your standard lockscreen). The second point is not such a big deal to me but coming from CM7 the thing with only one widget per lockscreen is a bit disappointing. I'd love to have a clock + a calendar widget on my standard lockscreen. Maybe they'll implement that in the future. Additionally, you still aren't able to put custom apps in to the "unlock circle", even though I think I read somewhere about this. Then again, maybe I'm just too dumb ;)
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
I was just talking about the touchscreen sensitivity. Because those devices do a pretty good job there. Any input on that would be appreciated!
[Nexus 4 General] hippieschuh:
until now, all android phones feel crap compared to the fast sensitive Ipad/Iphone touchscreen.

eg.: Why do I have to move my finger a whole 3cm long, just to change picture in the gallery??

I hope this is getting better with the nexus 4

makes me wonder why touchscreen sensitivity is not user-configurable...
[Nexus 4 General] düdldihüü:
The issues you're mentioning should be software- and not hardware-related. I think florian3000 really means the hardware-side of things. E.g. the Nokia Lumia 920 has a really high sensitivity.
[Nexus 4 General] alangrig:
Don't agree. GNexus has way better touchscreen sensitivity comparing to idevices as well. It even register my nail touch,
[Nexus 4 General] timlambo:
Is this a "idevice first impressions" thread?

Lets get back to why we are all here.

Are there any other issues except the rattling, purple haze and poor sound when placed flat?
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
That sounds good. I could test the N7 two days ago and although I had not much time with it, it felt good. So I'm not too worried about it. I just asked, because someone else mentioned some problem with the sensitivity. Just wanted to know if the N4 is on par with an iDevice in this matter (because I own an iPad and that part of it is super).

I have no knowledge about how software and hardware influences these things.
