Well unfortunately I had to sell my S2 so can't really tell you the exact values for that... I have the galaxy Q but don't really use it anymore... But prob will need to for 24hrs because need to apply wet screen protectors to this... If I remember I'll let you know...

And I meant to say the N4 hasn't dropped signals at all yet... It has gone down to 2 bars in my bad reception areas but manages to hold... Think had mentioned it went down to 85-95... But didn't drop...

Also what I noticed today was I was getting WiFi signals all the way in my garage, which would always cut off long before that... It is possible that the receiver be totally different from the one for the normal radio... But that's still impressive...

On a side note... Anyone who gets this phone MUST use this app... Its prob the most useful app I've installed on this... Or even for the galaxy nexus...

Oh alright. In the dead zone, could you share the dbm reading of the cellular signal please?

If what you're saying is true, then I'm happy. I really am disappointed with the GNexus after I figured it had a weaker antenna.

And PGM works on the Nexus 4 too? I uninstalled it - for other reasons though.

[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I already mentioned in the above post it drops to about -85 to -95... Normally about -65 to -70... Bars are usually full but no less than 3 in dead zone... Other phones would drop to 1 or 2 bars... Max 3... Or maybe I'm just biased since I love this phone... LoL

Yea they got PGM running on this... Was just worried about major battery drain... But it doesn't seem to have too heavy a drain... Definitely worth the drain tho, esp if its saving the button presses...

Just thought would share this here for people worried about battery life of this phone... I had heard mixed reviews about it and was a bit worried myself... But today I can safely say... I'm very impressed... Got 5hours and 15mins screen ON time with 5% battery left... Eventually had to charge on 5hours 25mins...

Running cm10.1 with complete Stock Settings... No under clocking or undervolting... If I use a custom kernel with some under clock and under volt will probably easily get 6+ hours...

Dude from personal experience... Do NOT install the official Facebook app... Use friend caster pro or something if your a fb whore... I've actually seen a 2 hour less screen on time with the app vs without the app... EVEN if your Not using it... If you installed and logged in... It will start killing your battery...

Noted. Will try that. I am still waiting for the device to land. I have ordered enough accessories for it too. Dozens of protectors and many cases. Will report back once she lands here along with all the accessories. :cool: .. i.e.: 1st week on Feb.
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
What if you turn off Facebook sync but leave notifications enabled? I can manually sync the news feed and the notifications are all push.

That said, both the Friend caster and Facebook apps have their pros and cons.

I'm still sitting on the fence if I should sell my current phone and save up for the LG Nexus... Cause I want phone signals at my place!

Have you ordered the poetic bumper by any chance...?? I need me one of thems...!!

Nope... I've tried all possible combos... At least in my experience, as long as its installed and your logged in it will drain... If just installed but not logged in then your fine... Matter of fact I think I even saw a article on android central about its drain... Without use of course...

And I think the official fb app is easier to use since its very similar to the website along with a better user experience...

But the main reason I started using friend caster was the ability to sync all the high resolution pics to Ur address book... Something the normal fb app doesn't do...

And well about signal I really can't say in your area... I'm quite happy with it ... Apart from the buzzing ear peace... Tho nothing you can really do about it...

Friend caster is free.. but not the PRO version. You talking about the free version, right?

And dude, whats the production date of ur model? and HW Rev ??
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
You can use the free or pro version... Both don't have the battery drain... I use the pro... (Not too hard to find it if you know what I mean ;)).

My rev is 11... Made in Korea... Honestly the buzz isn't that bad, rather if I didn't read about it I would have just thought its normal network interference... But once you know is there... It's more a psychological thing...

I certainly know what u meant there lol... PM me the source :p haha

Oh yar,... same here.. i googled everywhere to find the issues with N4 and now I know plentyyyyy of 'em. I just hope I don't start complaining once I get my hands on it. I mean, I kinda knew the issues. So should be fine with me. Else will send it back to US and get a RMA or sell it on ebay.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Just PM me your email Ill mail the latest apk to you... Otherwise I get all my stuff from ipmart-forums... Been using it since 2006 I think with no complaints...

Apart from that I had my friend who got it for me check a long list of problems... She said nothing was there and it was perfect... The buzzing was so slight she didn't even notice, that's how minute it is...

And I wouldn't bother selling it on eBay... You can sell it here for up to 55k... Why bother sending it all the way back to sell... RMA is a different story tho... I was debating whether to send it back for the longest... But was like Dafa karo... People say the RMA's have a chance of being worse than the original... My screen is perfect as is the build quality... No creaking trim or anything... Lense rattle is 100% normal and my previous sony Ericsson had it as well... 7years old and the camera still takes relatively great shots for a 2mp camera... So I suggest the same to you... Don't get into the small stuff... You will just get more khwaar after it...

Anyone else able to comment on the signal strengths before/after the N4? Dbm levels with another phone nearby would help tremendously.

Hello bhai log, its ali frm lahore. Yrr im total newbie at android OS , previously i was using BB n iphone 4 then decided to get iphone5 but i really liked nexus4 n decided to give a try to this set. To be honest i wasnt got moved by android OS but it was nexus 4 which thwarted my way to iphone5. Its an amazing phone with excellent hardware n software. I think its first android device whose touch n user interface is equal to iphone5. No offence intended, but s3 n note2 look superficial before nexus. As i dont know techniqal things abt Android that is why i like the simple things abt nexus 4. Firstly its touch n response system is equally par with apple devices then its graphics are awesome especially LIVE wallpapers furthermore its operating speed is very smooth last but nt least you just cant ignore its magnificent built. Coming to my concern, my dear nexus fellows kindly guide me about this set in depth so that i can be at ease with it. I have installed blackmart alpha for apps. But im facing alil prblm whenver i put live wallpaper in action it usually disappears n homescreen went to basic black theme. Imean i noticed it for quite sometime now that whenever im doing chores on nexus it went black. If anyone out there knows abt my prblm please address to it and tell me about android n nexus 4 in simple n lil steps. Thnx :)
[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
There it is... the required answer ;)

PM-ing you my email.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Well the first and foremost thing I would say to you is do NOT use BlackMart Alpha... Its too shady and directly accesses your System... If your using it then I'm assuming you have Root because BlackMart requires root access...

Apart from that you've not given enough information about your phone, software, problem to be able to help you with...

[Nexus 4 General] rixvi5:
Brother in about section it says 4.2.1 android version. moreover, its 16 gb version and in storage it says only 12 gb is available .And what does root mean? And should i delete blackmart alpha as somebody told me its just like installous in apple.....i installed it with that thought. There is also baseband number n kernel version should i also tell you that. Thanx for your previous prompt reply.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
True it is like installous but its not as well formatted as installous... Too many loopholes... And if your phone is not rooted then BlackMart won't work properly...

From the market download an app called "root checker" or something like that... See what it says... Or check if you have "super user" or "super su" in your apps somewhere... If not then your not rooted...

As for the "only 12gb available"... That's normal because the rest is for the ROM and installed apps... And about 1gb is lost by default in any memory module...

Does anybody know how to buy the nexus 4 from the google play store and get it delivered to our home i.e in Pakistan?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I don't know the exact method, but you can probably Google it...

It had something to do with changing the shipping address with UPS... But I'm not sure how worth it it will be... Because you will need to pay about 20-30 dollars extra for shipping... Plus when it comes thru you will need to pay extra for duty and customs... That means uppping the price to almost 45k in my opinion anyway...

But yea that's still better than the ridiculous prices people are asking for even a used nexus...

Or what if I tell my Uncle in Australia to order a nexus 4, and send it here.

Would that be a better option?
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
My advice would be to get the nexus from someone who can actually manage helping send the phone back and forth IF you come across any problems... I got mine from Canada although it cost more, only because I know if I ever need to send it back then it won't be a problem...

I would advise you to do the same... But ofcourse if that's not feasible then that's a different story...

But I would definitely say try to have someone physically bring the phone rather than sending it via mail... Because it will always get hit by duty when it comes via courier or mail... At least In my past experience... I even had to pay duty on Frikking $25 chocolates someone mailed me... This is a $400 phone...

Are you interested in buying? What price can you guys offer me?

Alright so iv decided I'm gonna RMA my phone... the buzzing is too annoying... there are 2 distinct buzzes... one is a very light continuous one which really isn't that bad... but there is this second one that comes up all a sudden which is horrendous, esp when it happens during calls... watch out when you get your phone... mine is a Rev 11 which is the latest one and mine has the issue... so they still havnt sorted it out.

Having said that, you should know tthat on google play it says the return/exchange time for a phone is 15 days... but in reality its 30 days... iv had my phone for almost 10 days but it was delivered on the 2nd Jan... hence asked for a exchange exactly 30 days after my phone was delivered...

What they said tho is... they are offering "extended" warranties on certain product batches... which means you can return/exchange past the 30 day norm...

That just goes to show Google is aware of the phones various hardware faults, hence is offering the extended warranties...

Bottom line... when you get your phone... check it well...

Apart from this... aeveo you asked to check the difference in signal status... don't remember what the nexus was showing in my low signal area but my Galaxy Q is fluctuating between -85 and -99... mainly on -91... the nexus wasn't fluctuating this much tho...

In my room where I get good signal the Galaxy is getting -71 to -75... I'm pretty sure the nexus was better than that...

Hope this answers your questions...

God, don't tell me. Mine delivered on Jan 4th and I will be getting it on Feb 4th..as it's in Turkey now on vacation lol.

I hope and pray mine does not have this issue. Hopeful as there might be differences in US/UK/Canada batches .. Just saying!
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Yes ofcourse there may be differences... depending on where its made... korea was supposed to be one of the better places... but who knows... others don't have my problem or may not be as bad that they need to RMA...

But just for the record its NOT a software problem... sound is on cm10.1... now restored to stock 4.2.1 with locked bootloader and no sim... sound still there with or without wifi...

Best way iv found to test is... hold the phone to your ear while screen is off... while holding press the lock button which should turn the screen on... it should get louder... press again to turn off screen... etc etc... do this at 5-10 second intervals and wait while listening... the problem will show itself if there... but mind you must be a quiet room...

Remember... if its a constant light buzz its fine... if a Secondary random crackling buzz keeps coming and going, THAT is what's bothersome...

So you're saying the Nexus holds a better and more stable signal?

Its be great if you could do side-by-side comparisons (and its easy! Force-select a network on the Nexus - even if another network's Sim is in there - and go to the phone settings > status, and read the dBm value off there, and read the value present in the Galaxy side by side).

I'm trying to confirm Samsung really has weak radios, and that the Galaxy Nexus has a weak receptor as well.

Oh, and do you face the antenna gate issue with the LG Nexus (esp. when holding it with your left hand and the palm naturally covers the bottom left of the phone)?

Thanks again!

So the latest update for you folks is that the rev 11 was supposed to add changes to fix the earpiece buzz by giving more shielding along with other things... hasnt done a great job clearly... but having said that... there is a rev12 which has been made but not started rolling out yet commercially... it apparently fixes the issues whereby the nexus couldn't be charged via a specific Nokia Qi wireless charger...

Lesson learnt ... never a good idea to be a early adopter of a new product...

Here are some color themes for the 4.2 Google Keyboard. They are actually nicer looking than my samsung keyboards because I learned how to do .9.pngs so the silver button trim is no longer stretched. These go great with my Ultimate Real Icon Theme. I will eventually build them in to that Aroma installer as well.

This is an Aroma Installer and works on both CWM and TWRP.

Grab them here:
