nexus 4 vs ...

Just got a nexus 4 yesterday and have spent the next 24 hours using all of its features to the max. I have to say that overall it is a very robust device. There are a few troubling things that I did find, however. I had several top phones to compare it with side by side including the sprint optimus g, galaxy s3, HTC evo lte. In unscientific tests where I asked several non tech savvy people which screen looked better to them ( same picture on each and brightness all the way up) in all cases the nexus 4 lost..., even to the optimus g with the same screen. I thought this was strange but I looked at both side by side, and indeed the same pictures looked clearer and overall more pleasing to the eye on the optimus. Comparing camera picture quality and video quality the results were the same. While admittedly the nexus 4 did look truer to life in many cases, there is not one time that anybody I asked preferred it, myself included. The phone is snappy however, though for some reason not as fast the optimus g with the same processor. Overall a good phone that I will enjoy using especially for the software, but to me at least it is by far not the best.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
This phone was well worth the wait, I don't think too many people will be disappointed.
[Nexus 4 General] DominoHop:
I agree that its worth the wait. And I just noticed Google snuck a candy cane into their little easter egg :)

It made me giggle.
[Nexus 4 General] allenhpark:
Called T-Mobile again, and they said there was a 3 business day wait on phones ordered earlier in the week, when they were briefly in stock. Doing the math, that means my phone should be shipped today. Considering they told me yesterday that it would ship that day as well, not sure I'll fully believe it til I see it, but I remain infinitely hopeful.
[Nexus 4 General] ljwnow:
Just got mine. Never imagined that LG is able to make such a beautiful phone.
[Nexus 4 General] :
I always enjoyed the Optimus V i used to have. Well still have it, more like used to have as primary phone. It wasn't pretty but got the job done. :0
[Nexus 4 General] kyleds:
My email said 2-3 weeks. Ordered November 27 at 130 in Hawaii. I can't wait! I just wish I could've got the bumper too :(
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I have the high pitched ringing in the speaker on calls, extremely annoying, cant be on the phone for more than 5 minutes without getting an intense headache. The guy told me there is serperate stock set aside for RMA's.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Anyones else's charger make a faint buzzing sound?
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I don't think so.
[Nexus 4 General] AGGevorgyan:
please help

Hi everyone. This is my first post in this forum, hope not last. I'm android and java web developer from Armenia.

My friend will visit New York in 8th December and return to Armenia in 16th. I want to ask him, to buy Nexus 4 16gb version for me. I need to know is there available devices and how long it takes to ship?

If anyone can help, thank you.
[Nexus 4 General] ScottyNuttz:
Big time. I had to move the plug away from my nightstand because I could hear it with my head on my pillow. It doesn't help that the USB cord is so short either.

Your best bet is T-Mobile store. That way you're not at the mercy of shipping delays.
[Nexus 4 General] Joel Chan:
Unlikely you'll get it. If you order now from the playstore, it is certainly too late.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
OK so its not just me. I feel like it does it when the phone is either fully charged or the charger is plugged in but the phone isn't connected. At least it's not as bad as the Samsung one I had for my skyrocket, that made a terrible screeching noise.
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Don't think mine does
[Nexus 4 General] DominoHop:
If you cancel it before it ships you won't need to leave a refusal note because they won't ship it.
[Nexus 4 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
@ DominoHop

Just think that its shipped & reply if its possible..as i am collecting all possible ways to prevent any issues.

@ ALL

Please read my query on page no.530 ..Its urgent..
[Nexus 4 General] lazinase:
Can you share the original picture, please? Mine doesn't have it.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
So I have confirmed that AT&T's tablet dataconnect plans work on the nexus 4. This is awesome if you just want data without having to pay extra for phone service. Right now I'm using the 3GB $30 a month prepaid Dataconnect plan. All I did was enter the IMEI for a tablet, T-Mobile Springboard is what I used, and your Sim card #. From there you just simply change your APN to the tablet one and you're good to go!
[Nexus 4 General] aragorn7:
Did you order on the release date? I did and had to wait three weeks before they shipped it. And when they did, they sent me an email first. It then took two days to deliver by ups.

Hope that helps you to decide what to do.
[Nexus 4 General] DominoHop:

[Nexus 4 General] DominoHop:
If it has definitely already shipped I'm not sure how you would refuse it. If someone is at the house when they deliver they can tell the delivery person to return it to the sender. If no one is home they will leave it on the doorstep. Ups.com will probably have more helpful information. Sorry.
[Nexus 4 General] lazinase:
How about your background wallpaper. What is that?
[Nexus 4 General] AGGevorgyan:
Thanks, but that will be locked and will be with contract.

Thank you. That's sad.
[Nexus 4 General] DominoHop:
If you search for nexus 4 wallpaper in the play store there's a live wallpaper that you can customize. It matches the design on the back of the phone. :) I love it!
[Nexus 4 General] ziggy34:
You can get it from a T-Mobile store with out a contract, I think its $499.00. And the one T-Mobile sells is the same as the one on Google play, so it is unlocked as far as carriers go and can be unlocked and rooted the same.
[Nexus 4 General] AGGevorgyan:
Oh, that's an idea :) thanks
[Nexus 4 General] JanLundDK:
Anyone know if most T-Mobile stores have the N4 on stock?

Going from Denmark to New York next week, and would really love to pick one up.
[Nexus 4 General] culaterout:
Went to t mobile already last weekend. In Denver, Co reported received only 100 and Boulder, Co received 60 and all phones went to upgrade customer. Wish you best of luck. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Ganzdroid:
Guys i ordered a nexus five days ago, when the time to wait was 3-5 weeks.

Is there any chance to recive the device before the end of december?

This waiting time is real or exaggerated?

(I ordered by the U.S. play store but i live in Italy and i don't know how is the situation with the shipping)
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
It really seems to be a hit and miss kind of thing. I think u have a good chance to get it by the end of December though.
[Nexus 4 General] mikkoc:
Did you use a forwarding service? Cuz I don't think they allow non-US shipping addresses.
[Nexus 4 General] blim8183:
I live in New York City and I've been visiting and calling stores for the past week with no luck. If you do end up finding a store that has them in stock, I'd love to hear about it.
[Nexus 4 General] Ganzdroid:
Yes i did. However, also need an american credit card to pay, otherwise they could block the order. (but i'm not sure about this)
[Nexus 4 General] benh57:
I saw a spreadsheet on here that listed all the stores that were getting N4's, does anyone know where that went? I can't find it again..

I'm still holding out hope that i will get mine in a tmo store on contract. I like tmobile and my old faves plan, and don't mind being locked in.. might as well save the $150.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Please head over to the shipping thread and help us get trending on twitter
[Nexus 4 General] ran495:
anyone got a spare 16gb nexus 4 they're willing to sell for a small profit? Msg me. thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I don't have any social media accounts!!
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Caveman
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Actually that's a lie, I do have Google+ with like 7 friends. They are just overrated and annoying. I could care less about what other people are saying/doing. If I want to talk to someone I have their phone #.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
I have a Facebook and I barely ever check it. the only reason I don't delete the account is cause I use haxsync for my contact pics:o
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Im not your g+ friend :banghead:

Oh was looking at bumpers on eBay. Are people high? $100 for a bumper???? And people bought some
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
How do I add you Lol?
[Nexus 4 General] Raul69.atl:
U dont save $150

U pay waaay more.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I think I added you. Even when I'm high I don't contemplate buying a bumper for $100!!
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Lmao did an RMA with Google on Friday no shipment yet, did warranty replacement with ATT yesterday, it shipped yesterday. And ATT has awful customer service. what does that say about Google?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
AT&T is replacing your N4?
[Nexus 4 General] ketjr81:
When looking at the upfront price difference take into account the plan pricing and how much more you would spend over the off contract price.

I know they at least add another $10 to the value plan a month? It's a bad deal buying from T-mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I wish, that one is for my mom, they were asking her for the IMEI number for her phone and she was confused so I just did it for her.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
O OK. I was confused. What was wrong with your N4?
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
There is a loud really high pitched ringing when I'm on the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
On your N4?

Oh that sucks
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah I don't know what it is, it sounds like one of those apps they have to try to make mosquitoes go away. But constantly in my ear when I am on the phone.

Man that sucks brother I bet you RMA device will be Perfect.

[Nexus 4 General] Uh60m Pilot:
+1

sent from my perfect 32GB Nexus 7
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
Had to RMA mine too on Friday. Got confirmation that the phone I sent has reached the return center but no shipment email from Google yet. How long does it take to process exchange order?
[Nexus 4 General] tysj:
I called in Wednesday morning and got a shipment notification early Friday morning at 1AM PST. Allegedly will arrive here today according to UPS My Choice even though tracking still says it's "Ready for UPS". I guess I will find out when I get home from work in about 2 hours.
[Nexus 4 General] KPH325:
I'm in the same situation. Requested RMA last Tuesday got shipping info Friday and still nothing. I think RMA's were processing faster before this latest fiasco.
[Nexus 4 General] allenhpark:
Aw yeah, shipping info received today, getting my phone tomorrow. Feels good to finally have this amazingness coming to me.
[Nexus 4 General] pnut22r:
Which lot of orders were you apart of?
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
Sounds like they are processing a lot of returns. I think if I haven't heard anything by tomorrow I'll call them and tell them to keep it and give me a refund. This whole process has been a cluster.
[Nexus 4 General] allenhpark:
Sorry, I ordered from T-Mobile on the 27th after the Play Store made it apparent it didn't want my money. All last week I was told "it'll ship by the end of the day" every day I called them up about the "Backordered" status, so it finally feels good to have some kind of confirmation on something that really should have been known and told to us.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
That's my hope.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Do you have to send your phone in first or do they send the replacement and then you send yours?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Whatever you are comfortable with
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Ok, because I'm just noticing today that the top half-inch or so of the screen is much whiter than the rest of the screen..
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
I think I'm seeing some yellowing along the right hand side of the screen lately, but I'm not sure if its actually yellow or if its the placebo affect from hearing about it so much. either way its not bothering me enough to want to RMA it.
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
Yeah either way. I sent mine in first because I still have a phone to use and I wanted them to hurry up and release my money.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I just wanted to make sure I did it before the 15 days policy. Replacement device is ordered. Lets hope this one is perfect :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
15 days only? dang I thought it was for the first year
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Thats the one with LG, then you send your phone to them and they 'attempt' to fix it, if they find it is not a manufactures defect, they will request you to pay for the repair or send you back your broken phone.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Yup. Make sure nothing is wrong within 15 days or else you'll have to go through a lot more stuff than you would if you exchange it now.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
So I did a RMA last night and about 2 hours later I find out that my debit card has been compromised and I have to get a new one. The new one won't get to me for 7 to 10 business days. What do I do?
[Nexus 4 General] ebagdirtbike:
I couldn't wait for Google' shipping times, so I canceled my order and pulled the trigger on a nexus 4 on ebay. I ended up paying $490 which is about $100 more than the play store when you consider tax and shipping charges. I hope this phone doesn't disappoint because I really love my Gnex!
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Anyone seen any N4 accessories in stores?? Im old fashioned and like putting my hands on stuff before I buy it
[Nexus 4 General] yukarundeng:
a quick question here

so, whether I order n4 from the web or the store, both of them will be shipped in 5-6 weeks from now, which means another waiting??

any luck of getting n4 there in US?

i'm from indonesia

thanks in advance
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
By the time you get you may still be in the 15 day period, or you could send yours back and get that crappy flip phone for a little while. While you wait for you new one to come it if you can talk a CSR into letting you send yours in before you order a new one to keep the hold off your account.

---------- Post added at 07:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------

On a side note, has anyone received the shipping refund, I believe we are supposed to have them tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] androidfoshizzle:
Making my way downtown Walking fast Faces pass And I'm home bound,hoping ups stopped by,...I see the nexus 4, sitting around waiting to be opened...

I get in the house...open it up...then-something-happened-...

It-f*cking-drop

Lyrics repeat here:

Making my way...
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Hmm I'll have to give them a call at some point
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Got my shipping refund and I did not have to call.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
They refunded my shipping on Monday from my order on the 13th. If they haven't refunded yours yet then I would probably call.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Interesting I'll call and see whats up.

EDIT:

The CSR (we all know how this story goes) says that she shows the refund having been processed on Friday the 30th. But it could take up to 14 business days in order for that to be processed by both Google and my bank. Since I see other people have already gotten their refunds I am betting my bank is just slow.
[Nexus 4 General] Revthejedi:
CSR told me that they would have to forward my request to a shipping specialist before I could be refunded for shipping. He told me I could expect an answer in 24 hours, also I'm quite sure that they have no clue why I'm stuck on YBoD and "2-3ers" are getting their devices tomorrow. It really bugs me that the guys who ordered after me are getting their phones before me, though at the same time I'm happy for you guys.
[Nexus 4 General] stockms3:
Ordered my nexus from tmobile yesterday, got it today LOVINNNNNN IT!:victory:
[Nexus 4 General] yo2boy:
Meanwhile on eBay :\
[Nexus 4 General] bfspider:
Got my tracking number emailed to me this morning. Phone arrives tomorrow night!
[Nexus 4 General] allenhpark:
Just received my phone today at work, and I'd be lying if I even had an iota of concentration on work. I'm having a blast setting this thing up, and all my coworkers are massively jealous of my new toy. Loving it so much, and the fact that it's tied to my Google account already makes set-up a practically painless process.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
I work in a dim, dirty ass warehouse. Not a single person I work with has any idea what a nexus 4 is. I took a 360° photosphere of the warehouse and showed it to my boss and he said "hey that's like the one I saw on that commercial on TV the other day", referring to the iPhone of course:banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] taitony:
Google play joke. My order is 27th 1~2 wk delivery, but keep on Pending. I just order extra Nexus 4 due to the rumor, but I receive shipping mail for last night order as attached. The 27th is still pending, so I will cancel it when I have UPS status.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Wow that's crazy
[Nexus 4 General] taitony:
My new order ONLY take 19 hours for shipped status even last night Google Play said 5~6 weeks delivery.

SO, I cancel my order that fighted oevrnight Nov. 27. Now I just move focus from Google to UPS. Google just waste my full night on Nov. 27. Damn GOOGLE!!
[Nexus 4 General] bstosnbata:
How sid you guys cancel? I tried and it won't let me
[Nexus 4 General] taitony:
You can cancel it when status is Pending. You cannot as soon as it become shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] bstosnbata:
I was able to cancel the 16gb that i ordered earlier today. But i tried the 8gb before that and it didn't. I didnt get any shipment or tracking info yet. They send a mail about that right? They are now holding my funds tho.

Am i missing something about tracking it? How are you guys doing it?
[Nexus 4 General] efan3719:
so are you guys who are canceling and reordering going to get yours before those of us who ordered in round 2?
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Joyous, I was told when I ordered my RMA I was supposed to have it yesterday. Now I have been referred back to a mythical unicorn shipping specialist. Yay for limbo 3 again!
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Anyone here who ordered the device on 3rd Dec and got a shipping mail?
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
So after all that time you guys waited for your phones, you both got defective ones...ouch that blows!!!
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah it sucks, nothing we can do about it but wait now.
[Nexus 4 General] rehughe:
I just got an order cancellation receipt for two of my cancellations. Keep trying!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] amdhunter:
Guys keep refreshing - i just snagged one 10 seconds ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Seriously. It was $10.50 when I ordered my Galaxy Nexus in July. What a rip-off. :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
Confirming that the 16 GB popped twice for me to add it to the cart means the extra ones that are being cancelled are coming back. Just keep refreshing guys and some of you will be lucky. Its not over till its over. Good luck.
[Nexus 4 General] llblwskydrgn:
So the 16GB isn't sold out yet? I just confirmed a 8GB but I really wanted to purchase the 16GB...
[Nexus 4 General] foxfire235:
so does it show as "out of stock" Or "Coming soon" for you guys? Because I'm seeing "Coming Soon" Which hasn't changed since it was announced.
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
I saw 30sec ago

and now

try 8GB is most likely available I see it few times come on guys
[Nexus 4 General] Meangean:
Keep trying :)
[Nexus 4 General] craighwk:
Both version of the phone have been coming back in stock for short amounts of time. Keep trying.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Confirmation page means you are free!
[Nexus 4 General] enyceckk:
Any1 from New York and tell me how much is the tax for the 16GB.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
Just leave the XDA forum for a day or so and you will be fine. There's too much freaking out over missing emails and stuff that doesn't matter. Your order is complete. There is always discrepancies in order status when there are this many transactions at once.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Wow you have crazy taxes
[Nexus 4 General] rubiconjp:
haha just got one... woohoo!!!

16GB
[Nexus 4 General] tuffCookie:
i already have one ordered, but just checked now out of curiosity and both the 8 GB and 16 GB models are still available! go go go people! just keep checking!
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
California, ftmfl. :(
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Eeekk
[Nexus 4 General] CoCoGirl886:
Tax is $32.22
[Nexus 4 General] farmerbb:
Same here, ordered at 9:36 MST and my order is still pending. Hopefully that'll change soon.

Chase Bank sent me an email right after I ordered asking me to verify the transaction, I hope that didn't complicate things.
[Nexus 4 General] defconoi:
Just got shipping confirmation ordered 11/27 at 5pm 2-3 week window
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
and I'm back!

Got my 11/27 order today :D.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Aaayyyuuuuuppppppp
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
I was initially told my phone would ship 2-3 days after ordering my RMA device. I was told today that I should've been told 3-5 days to ship. Since I ordered it last Friday I should see my notice tonight or tomorrow.

The ineptitude is astounding
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Haha well I also ordered mine on Friday, so we shall see if I get a message when you do.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I ordered my RMA on Tuesday. Hopefully it will ship tomorrow..
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Hopefully all of ours ship tomorrow, but lets not pretend we haven't been through this before. haha
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Lol true dat
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Well on the bright side, the released the hold on my account for the RMA. Or maybe that's the dark side, not sure yet.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Eeekk!!!
[Nexus 4 General] taitony:
Google make Miracle on Dec. 5

Re-order on Dec. 5 is not only ship fast but delivery fast. Today check UPS and already transfer from KY to CA where is home address.

19 hours get shipped and three days delivery. That is miracle Google make it on Dec. 5.
[Nexus 4 General] taitony:
Yes, I am. 19 hours shipped and hopefully 3 days delivery to my home.

---------- Post added at 12:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 PM ----------

I re-order on Dec. 5 and get shipping mail after 19 hours and N4 has transfrred from KY to CA where my home address.
[Nexus 4 General] taitony:
The fast way to get Nexus 4 is to re-order

We discuss this issue in one forum in China and many follow my advise to place order on Dec. 6 even the delivery is 6~7 weeks.

But, this evening, now most people receive Google mail inform the shipping of last night order.

Is Google crazy ? Let earlier orders pending and push the delivery in new order.

So, everyone just re-order and cancel earlier order same as me.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Anyone have their RMA ship yet?
[Nexus 4 General] Emama:
I ordered replacement NOV 30 still no tracking! !
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
Nope, I requested one on the 2nd
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah I ordered mine on the 30th. The only problem is if it doesn't ship today I have to cancel because my apartment closes Wednesday at noon for winter break. So this is going to get annoying fast. I'll call later today and see what they say, in my order confirmation it says estimated shiptime in less than a week.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Nope, ordered on the 4th
[Nexus 4 General] :
You two are on the same boat for almost a month now.

It's time to take the relationship to the next level. :D
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Seriously!
[Nexus 4 General] eliter1:
What the hell, Google sucks at shipping stuff. Has anyone tried re-ordering the 8GB? I need to get these before Christmas since they're presents for my parents.
