Just so everyone that want to help knows my SANSATION story...

My phone was Vodafone Branded

The guy i bought it from rooted it ... and used Elegancia Rom.

Then i installed the newer version and then again it worked fine.

2 months ago i installed revolution 6.8.0 and flashed the new firmware 3.33 as i remember with (hboot_8x60_1.27.1100_20120113_signedbyaa.nb0)

....

6-7 days ago the wifi-problem appeared out of the blue.

AND THEN I STARTED GOOGLING IT... INSTALLED VARIOUS ROMS, Revolution 6.8.0 again, Elegancia Sense_4.1_V2.2.0, Clockworkmod 10, and so on but no luck.

I tried Wifix , no luck

I tried deleting the supplicant file form data/misc/wifi ..... but no luck

I reinstalled the firmware file PG58IMG and tried some more... BUT STILL NO LUCK,

Phone works ...

BLUETOOTH works

APN works

WIFI - Doesn't work SO .... WIFI HOTSPOT doesn't work also ..

ANY IDEAS ANYONE ???
[HTC Sensation] gigian:
When using WIFIX ... and press *#94349# + call ... i get the error -> Connection problem or invalid MMI code

So no luck there either
[HTC Sensation] Mastegl:
Because it is simillar topic, I just want to add my +1 to problem with wifi on Bruces CM10 ROM... when turning on and off wifi, phone sometimes frozen fo about 10s and then goes reboot...
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
i can only think doing this way now

using an ruu.exe returning your device back to zero and starting again with rooting

but you will still have S-OFF

see here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1672425

read it carefully
[HTC Sensation] gigian:
So you mean i should flash the oldest RUU corresponding to my phone ...without changing from s-off to s-on ???

ITS GETTING ALITTLE BIT COMPICATED NOW !!!

PS. how about changing to another firmware say back to 3.32 ?? doesn't that flash a new Radio and kernel .....so new wifi settings ?

Also ... should i mention this if i go into bootloader --> USB cable --> fastboot and "getvar cid" the result is -------> 11111111

if i use an application called GetCID ..... it says VODAP006

Which one do i have ???? I know i changed it to 11111111, but why do i get different readings ??? whick on is the correct ?

thanks !!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
ok try to change fw first to see if it will work

about cid you have supercid(1111111)

the app shows only the default cid

the good for being S-OFF is you can flash whatever ruu you want

but try first to use 3.32fw version

edit:changing fw surely changes radio but i am not sure if changes kernel

because kernel is including in boot.img and boot.img is including in the rom not in a fw zip

but let's hoping
[HTC Sensation] gigian:
I will try changing the Firmware ....to 3.32 tonight, and see whst happens.

Which rom do you suggest !!?? Do you think Revolution 6.8.0 would be ok .. ??

I am not sure if 3.32 is ok with any rom .... or if its ok with ICS roms in general ..

ANYONE ????

Thank you !!!
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
the difference between 3.32fw and 3.33fw is only radio upgrade so any ICS rom should work in that fw

Revolution 6.8.0 is very stable rom as reported from many users but i have never tested it by myself
[Nexus 4 General] chenthechen:
Good to know I am not the only one suffering. So far it seems you have already reached into most of the options, I also thought about YouPost but the amount of work required not to mention the added costs, I don't think its worth it. I am just hoping that stocks arrive at the parallel imported sites and the price isn't too hefty. I wish us kiwis weren't discriminated by Google, they have a lot of potential customers here in NZ.
[Nexus 4 General] timhl7:
Im also waiting impatiently. I guess we just have to wait, New zealand is such a tiny market compared to other countries. Im keeping an eye out for overseas stores that will ship here to get stock
[Nexus 4 General] wilfred888:
Ordered two via YouShop. I'm lucky, haven't received any of those delayed stock emails, but haven't received a shipping email either. I'll keep you updated if everything goes swell :D
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Me too!!! We should hopefully know more about the price from the parallel imported stores in the next week or two. Google is potentilally missing out by not offering us (and other countries) these services (I guess it's us who ultimately miss out though)!. We may not have the biggest market, but we would be loyal! I'd also love to be able to buy my music from the playstore instead of itunes. I already have 4500 songs uploaded to google music in anticipation of having to downgrade storage on my phone from 16GB internal and 64GB external to the 16GB of the nexus 4, but I don't have the new phone to stream it on! :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
If you find out anything it would be great if you could keep us in the loop. :)

Great stuff!!! Did you use a NZ credit card with the YouShop address attached to it? Looking forward to the updates. Good to know some of us got lucky...:laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Yur7tahu:
I'm a bit worried about the price because of what happened with the nexus 7,

I got all excited about a cheap tablet then it ends up being almost as much as an ipad.:(
[Nexus 4 General] wilfred888:
Yeah, just a mastercard.. but still currently in "limbo"
[Nexus 4 General] apat183:
So gutted that I didnt get mine. Had my sister in the US getting me one but said she kept getting errors. Guess I'm going to have to wait 2months or so before stock becomes stable enough.
[Nexus 4 General] Maxermus:
Will be following this. Need a new phone by Xmas and hoping for this but will go Galaxy Nexus if I have to.
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
We can only hope that we don't have to wait that long...my guess is we'll get a very limited supply through the parallel importers. The question will be, who is willing to pay the price they are asking....:eek:

I reckon you would be best to hold out for the nexus 4. If you're willing to wait a little bit longer then it looks like sony might actually be bringing out a flagship model that will compete directly with the iphone 5 and SGS3 while still being very compatible with the custom rom community...that being said, I know I don't want to wait and I'd love to get my hands on a nexus 4 tomorrow!...:D
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Still no update in regards to availability in NZ...any new info to add guys? :banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] timhl7:
Nope :( maybe wait for good grab a seat deal and pick one up in oz :)
[Nexus 4 General] Maxermus:
So I messaged LG and asked when they expected to be selling the device in NZ and the reply was they had no idea when or if they would be selling it here. That leaves this in the hands of parallel importers which will be random and pricey.

Started looking on eBay in US and Aus but it was all getting to hard but then as luck would have it I saw someone listing one on TradeMe for $735 and I just had to have it so I used the buy now lol I think this might end up being a good price for this device I just can't wait to get my hands on it.
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Great stuff mate! I had a look there this morning and didn't see anything... otherwise I would have done that myself....
[Nexus 4 General] wilfred888:
My 2 Nexus 4's just shipped to YouShop. Hopefully they come without any issues.
[Nexus 4 General] timhl7:
I think ill end up forking out for a parallel import for the sake of a warrantee
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Good stuff. 8 or 16GB models? If you have a spare 16GB and feel like selling, I'd be keen to make an offer :D
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
I think that'll be the only way I'll get my hands on one as well. Unless by some miracle they release more on the Aussie play store and i can get my brother to get one in time. I see in the Aussie thread some one reported that the bumpers were available again...I've already got a SGP screen protector on its way... just no phone to put it on right now :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Starlith:
Tell me about it. My cousin is on standby to buy this phone for me. Only problem would be if stock runs out again or it doesnt ship to her by the 21 december for the flight back to nz. I will uterly pissed if either of those situations occur. I already gave her the money for it :(
[Nexus 4 General] blindnz:
Got mine on order at bond and bond.

Anyone have any idea of the expected arrival at the 2 degrees resellers. Seems the warehouse got the jump!

Seems crazy the warehouse would have still probably sold out at 799
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
The n4 and stock availability is always a gamble even in official Google play store device countries.

On a side note has anyone tried out the swiping using two finger inputs on standard 4.2 keyboard? it's trippy
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Did you do that when they originally had them up for sale? Can't seem to find them on their website now....
[Nexus 4 General] samohtxotom:
thanks god for that :P yeah I wouldn't see any reason why 2degrees would modify it. Hardly any of their phones are network locked :)
[Nexus 4 General] blindnz:
Nope in store. Apparently its in the system they just don't have any stock yet.

I have paid for it just waiting for it to arrive. I understand from 2 degrees they are releasing them to the resellers as well.

Interested to know when the resellers should expect stock. Obviously the warehouse got some and noel leeming group must have been expecting some to put it up on the website.
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Good to know mate. Keep us posted :)
[Nexus 4 General] Starlith:
Just got mine and i ripped into it to put my sim card in. Had a minor hiccup when installing multiple apps, the phone got so hot that it reboot itself. Besides that I'm loving this phone it is just so smooth and fast. I'm so relieved to have it. I also have a matt black million slim hard case. Fits really well and makes it look the part :)
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
So hot it restarted? That doesn't sound right .... If you got it in nz I would get a replacement. Mine gets warm especially if I game at all which I don't but restart due TK heat sounds like a manufacturers defect.

Get trickster mod and check max temp
[Nexus 4 General] timhl7:
Thanks so much for the updates Haden, really appreciate it. Just cancelled my mobicity pre order and ordered from the warehouse
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Good stuff mate. The Warehouse had probably what will be the best deal for purchasing the Nexus 4 in NZ. Only time will tell if Google can sort out their supply issues and meet the high demand. If they can then we might finally see a price drop here - it's probably quite some time away though!
[Nexus 4 General] Maxermus:
Finally got my Nillkin Matte Hard Cover Skin case today and fitted it to my beast :) overall quite happy with it but its not as grippy as I had hoped...

I am sure I will go through many cases on this phone hopefully including the official bumper eventually... here are some pics for those interested.
[Nexus 4 General] samohtxotom:
I went to the 2degrees shop today and had a play with the demo unit they had - and man, does that phone fly. I'll be upgrading from a Motorola Defy (CM10) to this, so the difference is going to be huge. The phone looks really nice and feels good to hold. I asked the man how many they got sent, and he said 3 or 4. Considering this is a 2 degrees shop, not a reseller, that is not a lot of units to have on hand. They usually have at least 15. So if that's a 2 degrees shop, I would imagine the resellers would be getting hardly any at all, if any. Supply is clearly a huge problem for LG, and I REALLY hope they are working on it. So yeah I just thought I'd share this with you folks :) Oh and The Warehouse palmy still don;t have any in stock :(
[Nexus 4 General] republicano:
got my unit today man does it fly, the animations are good,went around sylvia park looking for a case and screen protector 0 luck, went to 2degrees there, they had sold out,no news from vodafone,
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
Trademe has some cases and screen protectors but not much selection at the moment. Ebay USA has lots for cheap, and free international shipping, but expect to wait a while for delivery (since its free and international). The prices on Ebay are really cheap though
[Nexus 4 General] twobikes:
Hi

I have two Nexus 4 (16G) coming in before Christmas (ETA 20th Dec), will sell one to any member at cost+$20, i.e. cost of phone ($349US), shipping, insurance ($63.70US), and any customs duty (Unknown) + $20.

If interested contact me.

Peter
[Nexus 4 General] BalinorNZ:
Hi Peter,

I guess you aren't an official retailer so there will be no NZ warranty with the 2 phones you are getting in?

I went to 2degrees Dunedin today to have a look, they only got 2 sent to them, one had already be sold, after playing with it for one minute I bought the other one! Upgraded from a Motorola Milestone (original) which has a broken power button, autofocus and the screen constantly goes black - so quite an upgrade :D Pity I had to pay the full $799 :(

Thanks very much for making and contributing to this thread! It's been enormously helpful! :)
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Some good cases on amazon too mate. The links in the OP are where I got mine from. I'm happy as with them!

Looks like if you snooze you lose with this phone here. I hope you all got in quick with that warehouse deal...
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Who did you use to ship it over here? Seems a bit more than what youshop were charging. Did you make sure to keep the listed value under the customs threshold? Otherwise that will be a fairly hefty sum to pay...(about $115 NZD each phone) Looks like it would work out to around $630 NZD all up... that's not too bad. Good on ya for managing to secure a couple on the play store :)
[Nexus 4 General] blindnz:
My Nexus is ready to be picked up!!!

Seems like very limited stock at Noel Leeming at the moment. Albany store had 2.

Got one transfered to the Bond and Bond I ordered mine from!
[Nexus 4 General] markupdown:
Another option to consider is priceusa dot com dot au. It's an Aussie outfit, but they ship anywhere (to Fiji in my case).

Bought my N4 through them, but I was slow and ended up in the 7-8 week batch. Have used them a few times before.
[Nexus 4 General] blindnz:
I have my nexus 4. I would expect other resellers to have stock soon.
[Nexus 4 General] Thmslcn:
How did people get around the foreign credit card issue?

Google just cancelled my order because I used a foreign credit card.
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
Its to do with your billing address
[Nexus 4 General] Thmslcn:
What address do you use? I put the YouShop address, the order was pending for a few days and then cancelled yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
I've ordered off the play store before with a nz card while I was in the states. I put the billing address as the same as the shipping address and it worked out.

Maybe they cancelled your order for some other reason?
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Maybe they are cracking down on this a bit harder now?! As we've said before, that method is very hit and miss... What worked for someone with one bank hasn't worked for someone else at another bank.
[Nexus 4 General] rh2600:
I purchased my Nexus 4 from a 2degrees store, so far pretty impressed with build, but the screen, whilst whiter and brighter than my Galaxy Nexus, is a little too cool, and definitely struggles on the saturation front - I hope this gets addressed in a future Android release.

I've got the rattle, assume its feature not a bug ;)
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
I think its the power button. On my device anyway
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
The rattle on mine is from the auto focus in the camera. My power button is solid as a rock.

Anybody found any other local resellers yet?
[Nexus 4 General] Maxermus:
Anyone know about sourcing any of wireless charging options for this device in NZ yet or is this something that will need to come from overseas? I have a quick Google and I not seeing much at all :|
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
have looked around with no luck.

there are some options on eBay and Amazon, but you will need to pay for the international shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] Maxermus:
The ones on Amazon only ship inside US. Found a nice one on http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/qi_wireless_charger but they dont ship to NZ either... I guess I need to get on a plane to sort this one out :D
[Nexus 4 General] GeoMil:
I'm a 2-3 weeker - my order is still pending. Part of me wants them to cancell to put me out of misery, but then again at under $500 landed I can buy a Nexus 7 with the differnce.
[Nexus 4 General] Maxermus:
Feel for ya man... I cant imagine using any other device... it would fair to say I am obsessed with my Nexus... its not healthy at all and after I have got my Nexus 10 the circle will be complete *cackle*
[Nexus 4 General] vitusdoom:
got mine from the warehouse last week for only 600-something bux. :)
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
600 something bucks is a nice way of calling 699 ha
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
+1 :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
Cheap TPU case arrived and now the n4 looks like a normal smartphone haha. Feels much less fragile but then also much less premium.

Also came with the case was a free screen protector. A cheap one no doubt and thus probably a bit thicker than your usual premium ones. But I'm going to put it on for maximum protection during the sandy south american excursion I'm going on!
[Nexus 4 General] samohtxotom:
The Warehouse now have no devices left in the whole country, except for Albany which is a return (so probably broken). They said they'll be getting them after new years when they change the display stands for phones because they aren't allowed to sell them without a display device. Anybody found other retailers selling them yet?
[Nexus 4 General] Ramis:
I have a mate working at 2 degrees and he told me that new stock should be here before christmas/new year
[Nexus 4 General] samohtxotom:
:o looks like it might be a good christmas :D
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
Let's hope! But stock availability indications have been spotty even in the states
[Nexus 4 General] timhl7:
I spoke to The Warehouse today and their handsets are shipping straight from 2degrees. I brought mine online and they don't know when it will ship. Looks like 2degrees are the only ones to get some into the country so far.

Im almost over this phone, been waiting so long lol. Would be nice to hear an official statement from LG or google about why stock/production has been so slow
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
Same deal with the nexus 7 horror. Google has no idea how to release a product. Or they don't know the demand? Or it was purposeful to drive demand. Maybe their marketing department compared the potential losses in sales due to lack of stock vs the interest the low stock would generate

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ----------

Looks like carriers are the only suppliers getting any stock responses
[Nexus 4 General] jaffanz:
Kia ora team :)

Well 2degrees hooked me up last Thursday, loving the nexus.

Top case recommendation for very slim would be which one fellow kiwis?

Must say, buttery buttery smooth. Launches everything so very quickly. Like the Google cards, cute and kind of helpful.

Camera interface is wicked. though I really miss my OneX camera as that absolutely kicks the N4 one. So much so I used the OneX solely as my camera for a 7week holiday and have zero regrets from photos.. Wouldn't risk holiday snaps on this one the same... But good for out and about shots/video.

Roms, which one would you recommend that's basically stock yet improves on things?

I only dislike a couple little things on stock but don't want to lose Nexus features like Google Now and lock widgets to say get more than 5 screens and no Google bar on all of em..

Sent from my fingers using Galaxy Tab 7.7
[Nexus 4 General] GeoMil:
Phew, shipped.

I may sell my other 16g. PM me if your keen. Shipping around Xmas is a bit unknown I guess?

Pretty gutted to hear about the camera vs One X. That's what I'm coming from and it was great.
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
The link to the cases I've posted in the OP are great. Slim, light and durable.

As for a custom ROM, I've always been happy with the cyanogenmod Ones. CM10.1 is running great out of the box for the nexus 4 and it only gets better as each day passes. Still on rooted stock here with nova launcher and I'm happy as with it so far... sounds like you might only need to change your launcher to get the features you want...
[Nexus 4 General] akshizzle:
Stock at 2degrees

Hey there,

2degrees Sales Rep here,

We just (an hour ago haha I'm at work) got stock of the first Nex(ii?) and our supplier is holding back because of the demand, so each 2degrees store should have them in store by now, but maybe only 2 to 5 , so first come first served :D

Good luck!
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
Awesome to have a real 2deg rep here. Many thanks
[Nexus 4 General] akshizzle:
No worries, feel free to bug me about anything!
[Nexus 4 General] samohtxotom:
awesome, thanks for that! should we be expecting stock at re-sellers any time soon (specifically The Warehouse), or are you guys holding off until supplies become stable? Thanks again
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Great. Here's my first question....Any reason why you have Vodafone as your service provider? :D
[Nexus 4 General] timhl7:
Yay it made it before xmas ! One happy nerd here :)
[Nexus 4 General] versd:
Yay merry Christmas!!
[Nexus 4 General] akshizzle:
I think that the Warehouse etc are considered dealers, so they should have just a couple per store, to be honest it depends on the manager of the store and if they ordered any.

Well I'm lazy haha I should probably change that.... thanks for reminding me !
[Nexus 4 General] samohtxotom:
I have a question for those of you who are lucky enough to already own a Nexus 4. Would you say the $799 you pay at 2degrees stores is worth it? Or is the difference between that and say a parallel imported S3 (about $699) not worth it?
[Nexus 4 General] akshizzle:
I would go the nexus. I got a Galaxy S3 and i'm really keen to get the Nexus, just have to wait for more stock to come in. It may not have some of the gimmicks of the Samsung, but wow, it's build quality is worth it. It's so much faster too, since the processor is optimised for the stock Android. You should be able to go into the store and play with a live model. Whereabouts do you live?
[Nexus 4 General] hadenkose:
Great Stuff mate. Enjoy! :)

Haha...good to have you around mate. Always handy to get the news straight from the source!

Here's my take on that one sam. Coming from the SIII, I can safely say that I haven't looked back after getting my N4. My wife now has my SIII and she is loving that - (but she's really just happy to have a working phone, coming from the O2X which stopped being any use as a phone when CM10 was released and made making calls impossible...but that's another story)

There are a few things I miss (storage capacity is the only major thing really) but there are ways around that. I now (after 4 days of continuous uploading) have 4500 songs on my google music account. I've only really used this a few times, but the quality of sound is great and it doesn't require me to store it on my phone. I have a 1.1GB monthly data allowance with 2degrees and 60GB at home with Orcon, so I should be ok with that. For movies I find that I can easily store 5 on my phone, which is fine. On my SIII I had a 64GB micro SD card with around 20 movies and 20GB of music...

I love the N4's display. I admit that at times it does look slightly "washed out" but that is only because I'm used to amoled screens. When looking at my old SIII now, that looks totally over-saturated and fake compared to my N4's more natural colours.

Vanilla Android is great. No crap wiz or the like. It's functional and works great. This also means that adding custom ROMs is easy. (That certainly isn't the case with the SIII). The N4 will also always be first to get updates directly from Google...bring on Key Lime Pie!

If you think about it, $800 for a top of the line smart phone is not too bad on release. When stock becomes more readily available and the initial demand drops then I'm sure you'll see a drop in the price as well...but for now I'm just glad that we have an official channel to purchase these from here in NZ...
