Thank you. Yes the shopkeeper mentioned Brightex when I asked about the warranty. In my experience I've never had to utilize a phone's warranty except one time when a Nokia 3110c I had developed a camera software error. Considering how the Nexus 4 runs android I'm not really concerned about software issues. IF in the unlikely event I DO encounter a hardware fault, I CAN get it serviced from a local store right? After paying them of course. And yes the site I have mentioned (Mega.pk) is selling the phones at the price you have mentioned (I'm from Islamabad, most stores I asked cited prices about Rs. 2-3,000 higher). The site offers the international LG warranty, but no local warranty.

You can check it by going to mega DOT pk's website and searching for Nexus 4. The forum won't let me post links :(
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
The 16 GB version is selling for abt 40K on cellmart.pk and homeshopping.pk. i dont have experience buying a phone from an online store. I got mine for 41K (w/o warranty) abt 2.5 months back (frm Lahore).

U shd check the authenticity of mega.pk b4 making a purchase, if they r authentic, go for it. Otherwise get it from a physical store (most preferably frm a person u know). Coz 2-3K is not a big difference.

And yeah regarding warranty, brightex r offering nexus 4 warranty in pak as drunkfu said above. But that depends on u whether u want it with or w/o warranty.

But try to get phone from an authentic person.
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
What if you buy it from Mobilink? Aren't they giving it for 43k with warranty?

I got mine for around 45k around two months back too, from Blue Area (from a place called Bell North...silly name, but easy to remember, cause Bell South was in the USA :p)

Also, I saw another website that's based in the uae (but ships to Pakistan) and they sold it for 38k or something. Not sure about the warranty though.

Check bawanymobile.com for price then order homeshoppin.pk and mention bawany price. Hs will give u price break i dont know what they call it. The most least possible price in Pakistan. Cheers
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
You need to remember getting a LG phone serviced in pak is not easy... Your right software probs will never be a problem on a Google phone, but IF you have a hardware problem then there is a high chance you will need to get the parts yourself then give or to the shop keeper or fix or yourself... Plenty of tutorials online...

[Nexus 4 General] Aam1rk:
So yeah I went to buy it today and the shopkeeper convinced me to buy it with warranty. It will cost me about 44,000 and is covered by Brightex for 12 months. InshAllah will buy it tomorrow. :)
[Nexus 4 General] omgbuffguy:
Hello,

would any one with experience tell me if the brightex warranty will cover the a sudden death hardware problem or the red led problem? I am deciding whether or not to buy this phone and my previous experience with my s3 (sudden death) has not been well :/

Thank you!
[Nexus 4 General] omareziz:
Yeah I have had an experience with brightex. I bought HTC amaze. Had a overheating problem. They sent the cell phone to labs and when it couldn't be fixed they replaced the phone
[Nexus 4 General] omgbuffguy:
Does anyone know where I can get nexus 4 with brightex warranty? (factory unlocked)
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
If u r from lahore u shd b able to find one from hafeez center. One of my friends bought directly from brightex. Get their contact number frm their website and confirm frm them.

I'm from Karachi. I shall call brightex and ask. Would you know if homeshopping includes brightex warranty in their package?

I unfortunately had lost my warranty card and never turned it in. So I had to pay for it. Worst decision ever made. Never buying samsung again.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I went to M&P and got the warranty claimed... They didn't cause any issues at all... Actually told me its SUCH a common problem with the Note2 and so many people are claiming the warranty, the parts are completely short and taking a month to get it back...

I bought mine from bawanymobile, they don't offer you the warranty and hence you can get the phone at a lower price, you need to check the presence of common N4 issues though at the shop, so you're sure you're buying the right phone. My phone has none of the problems (earphone hissing/overheating/yellow blob/sleep of death etc), thank God.
[Nexus 4 General] faddyie:
When u got it and how much for. And do u have the rattling sound near to the camera
[Nexus 4 General] fahadsul3man:
That rattling in camera is normal its autofocus motor which is not fixed hence rattles totally normal and very common in autofocus phones and cameras if u want to buy go to home shopping pk they give u warranty and 7 day return policy and very good price
[Nexus 4 General] known2u:
i bought used one without warranty :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
I m not sure abt it. I dont think in 40K they wud give brightex warranty. They on many phones offer their own warranty for extra 2K, which is though not as credible as M&P, teletec, brightex etc. Coz once i cald them and askd abt SDS in GS3 that if i get it, wud u replace the phone and he said no. But if its a small issue they wud repair/replace it.

Anyway u can contact them on their helpline to get upto date info.

Homeshopping rep said if a phone is dead, we obviosuly cant fo anythin abt it. (I was asking abt GS3 SDS).

Did you get the OTA update? or did you flash the 4.3 image?
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
Flashed (4.3 image) through nexus 4 toolkit by mskip.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
4.3 is good so far..Performance wise it has improved more..Yet to see any Stutters.& Battery life has increased too..I still did not like the Screen Colors & Touch sensitivity is still the same.Though people say that 4.3 includes new drivers for touch screen..
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Yea exactly... I clearly remember reading early adopters mentioning the touch sensitivity is greatly improved on 4.3...

I'm still on my 4.2.2 custom ROM tho... I don't think I can go back to stock since I'm so dependant on certain mods now... Just hope they merge 4.3 soon tho... And good to hear the battery life seems improved...

[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
I started when my Battery was at 77%...Still managed to get 4Hrs sot with that..Did reboot to check if drivers are okay..Also i did reboot & flashed recovery.Then one reboot again for flashing root file..I am impressed by the battery life even after so many reboots & heavy usage like Browsing,tapatalk & playing with the phone
[Nexus 4 General] aeoveu:
When launching Google now, it stutters a bit - both the swipe action and the displaying of the first (and only) card...if there are more than 2 cards being shown, then the cards don't stutter when being displayed.

Didn't stutter in 4.2.x

[Nexus 4 General] xateeq:
after every rom flash or OTA update system stays in high gear to index media for music app and other things are running in background. and since u flashed ur battery wont be good for atleast 2 charge cycles (personal observation). give it a little time and then report back.

usually lag in apps is bad code or background I/O process. so install some apps to make sure ur cpu is not busy and try the testing then.

Good Morning :)
[Nexus 4 General] Hmmy 4444:
iam from karachi n some one tell me from where i cn get a good back cover for N4
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
If my battery is so good even after first cycle,then i wonder how it will be after 2 or 3 cycles..
[Nexus 4 General] xateeq:
just remember after flashing ur battery percentage stays same but in real its messed up and used quite much and to set this u need 1-2 charge cycles and then ur phone will regain the actual battery values and stuff :D

in gengerbread days this issue was very big and people usually clear battery stats and stuff now its much more simple :D

Yeah same here..Playstore is acting strange ever since i shifted to 4.3..

Yeah it's been acting rocky since the update. However, I installed Play Store 4.2.9 and haven't seen any weird movement in installations and stuff.

U r right. Dont know how that thread cud b locked without any prior warning. Anyway.

And tell me on e more thing r u having frame drops and some stuttering in games (temple run 2 and dead trigger) in 4.3?

And what really is the cause of frame drops n stuttering?
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
I haven't tested these games myself but give it some time.4.3 has got all sort of changes in it..All Drivers have been updated.

I guess these games also have to be updated in order to run without issues.There are many apps which are not running properly on 4.3..Sigh..Running the latest and greatest software is a great feeling but it has got consequences as well..

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

Btw today i flashed 4.2.2 just to check the difference..While 4.2 had no Apps installed,it still was not as smooth as 4.3..Google did a really fine job with 4.3 i must say..Smooth as hell..No stutter at all & great battery life..Far better than that of 4.2 :good:
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
I have not re installed the games, restored dead trigger thru titanium backup;)

And fresh installation of temple run 2 n subway surfers. But all r stuttering a bit and frames r dropping as well.

And yeah lets wait for the updates, hopefully games will work fine later.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Actually i got up in a situation..i lost all of my Data including SD card as well..When the factory image of 4.3 showed up,I was so pumped up that i forgot to copy the data into my PC.Flashed 4.3 & lost all of my data.But anyhow more data will come in future..I had to check 4.3 & i did like a Boss :p

Though now i wish i get that data back ;)

Okay i just tried Temple run 2 it running without any problem..No stutter.Finished the tutorial now :D

Edit:Tried Subway Surfer now..Smooth as Butter..No issues..I would suggest that you dont Restore these games.Try to download them again from playstore & then check it :)
[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
Dont know y these games r stuttering on my phone :(

I backed up all my sd card data and after flashing 4.3 i pasted subway surf n temple run 2 data in android - data folders. May b thats y it is causing issues. Lemme do a fresh installation of these games.

Nexus 4 OTA 4.3 in Pakistan

First of all hello to all the existing members from this new member.

I wanted to ask that is 4.3 OTA officially available in Pakistan. I have seen two post in this thread that have shown their devices getting it, but mine does not seem to get it as for now. I am on stock 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Walaikum Hello :P

[Nexus 4 General] omer7:
This phone is not officially launched in Pak. So it doesn't matter. Ur phone was originally bought from some other country (most probably US). But anyway u shd check it again, u ll get the update. Otherwise some ppl r talking abt forced update as well, i m not sure abt it, but i guess it is like going to settings - apps - all apps - google services framework (plz confirm it from someone) - open it and remove its data. And then go back to settings - abt phone - update and chk for it again. ( if it asks u to accept the terms of conditions, accept it)
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
I think it actually has been officially launched... Its been launched under teletech warranty as well I think officially...

Hi guys

I am visiting Pakistan to see family (I live in UK), and I am here until 30th December.

Any chance I can get Nexus 4 from a physical store here by then?

It is sold out in UK, and I am not willing to wait. Other retailers in UK are selling for £400 (approx 65,000rs), so I am willing to pay up to 55,000 rs if I am able to buy from here.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Yea you can get it in 3-5 days from here... contact shophive... they seem to be getting it in 3 days for 50k...

On a lighter side... i saw the nexus 4 today... friend brought it in from canada... and i must say... whatever little doubt i had about if i really want it is GONE... its sooooo sexy its not even funny... weight is perfectly balanced... and its thin too... what an amazin phone... cant wait till i can get myhands on one...!!
[Nexus 4 General] evh98:
That's fantastic! Do shop hive have a physical store? If not, do you think it's worth taking the risk ordering online, considering I'm leaving in 12 days?

And you've just made me want the phone so much more! I still haven't seen the device in person yet!
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
No its an online store but you need to pay in advance... atleast some amount... if your in karachi then you can go to their office... just give them a call... when I spoke to them they told me they are ordering in batches and it takes about 3 days to get it... so I think a 12 day window is quite a bit...
[Nexus 4 General] evh98:
Going to give them a call after namaz timei and ask of I am eligible for a refund if I do not receive within 1 week, or if I can pay on delivery. Do they have an office in Karachi? I'm in Karachi in 2 days, and their website says their office is in Lahore? They have it in stock with 2-3 days delivery time which is good

Dudethe back of the nexus... looks verry different from the pics... like every pic exhaggerates the sparkles on the back... you can barely see them in reality... its great... and so sleek... I jizzed my pants...

I just managed to get a backup phone so I'm at ease now waiting for the nexus to arrive :)
[Nexus 4 General] evh98:
Spoke to them, they asked for 10% in advance, and they rest I can pay cash on delivery which is fantastic, and yes, they did assure me that I would get it within two days. The only concern is that my parents don't think it is trustworthy, they told me to ask my chacha if they are trusted, and if he said, then they'll order it.

And god, you make me want it do much more! Stop it! XD
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Dude you can trust them... they are homeshoppings main competitor... I also know one of the people that used to supply them with phones... all these ppl are apparently getting the nexus from UK...

The screens colours arnt as pretty as super amoled... or like the screen of the htc 8x... but its prettty frikkin clean... and its pasted on look gives great viewing angles... damn... if I had the cash I would just pay the extra 10k and get the nexus here...
