Engadget puts N10 in the same category as iPad Mini

http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/16/holiday-gift-guide-tablets/
[Nexus 10 General] enlan:
Galaxy Note 10.1 in one category with the Ipad 4 and the Nexus 10 not?

Well Engadget, it's going down withya
[Nexus 10 General] Croak:
And the Iconia Tab instead of the N7?
[Nexus 10 General] samagon:
Engadget is a terrific aggregation tool for tech news. Their reviews, comparisons and buying guides are horrible though.

Comment sections are fun for things like that though.
[Nexus 10 General] rookiegenius:
too bad I'm quite a fan of engadget. I read it everyday. But their reviews are biased. All reviews I've read say the nexus 10's battery is excellent (slightly worse than the ipad 3 or 4). Only them say it is terrrible and this almost prevented me from ordering the nexus.
[Nexus 10 General] enlan:
Actually from the first two days trying: the battery is terrible!!!! :-/
[Nexus 10 General] tywilson:
Engadget's reviews and buyer's guides are awful.
[Nexus 10 General] rookiegenius:
well, when you mean it terrible, you have to compare it with other tablets to consider today standard for high resolution screen tablet like this. So far only this nexus and the ipad. Of course their batteries are weaker than most non-HD tablets out there, but it's still good considering that screen.
[Nexus 10 General] mi7chy:
Those sites are influenced by paid advertisers so it's clear why iPad Mini and iPad4 are at the top of each category when in reality it should be the Nexus 10 and Galaxy Note 10.1.
[Nexus 10 General] James-NC:
They are just grouping them according to price. I am sure the n7 would be grouped with kindle fire and nook.I don't think it has anything to do with the tablets being better or worse. :D
[Nexus 10 General] nytemare69:
N10 was compared or grouped to/with ipad mini only in terms of price.

Engadget is horribly biased, period. If you think the tablet guide was bad, wait until you see the smartphone guide. LOL

[Nexus 7 Accessories] garryknight:
I bought a Cerulian Bluetooth Mini Keyboard for iPhone/iPad (from Maplin in the UK) and it mostly works fine with my Nexus 7. However, I can't find out how to access four of the symbols €£¢§ that appear on the number keys. Can anyone who has this keyboard tell me how to do this? I'm writing a review of the keyboard, a link to which I'll post here when it's done, but I'd rather not leave this bit out. As you can imagine, the £ symbol is useful to those of us in the UK, the ¢ to those in the US, and the € sign to those in the EU. And I believe the § is possibly useful to publishers.

Also, if you do own this keyboard, can you confirm: do I turn it off to recharge it or on? It's been sitting in the box for a couple of days and when I turn it on the (previously paired) Nexus can't find it, and I don't know if it's because it has lost its charge.

Thanks for any help.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Here's a place to gather issues as you come across. Comment with additional issues as needed.

If you're happy, vote here.

Buzz from earphone speaker

- May be due to poor shielding. Some may be able to hear the frequency, some may not. 666FFF summed it up the best "...It's such a low crackle/hiss sound. You really need to press the phone against your head and be in a quiet room to hear it. Ambient sound is much louder. My only worry is if it is using battery constantly..."

Tell Google about it here. LEDs tend to produce a lot of noise, and with such a high density battery in the device, there could be some resonance occurring (since it buzzes/crackles all the time, but seems less so when in deep sleep).

[UPDATE] Seems it is a mfg. defect. Some people with their replacement phone/friend's phone have commented on it being fixed. However, others have reported the replacement is worse. So...buyer beware. If anyone knows how to figure out the batch number of our phones, maybe we could track it that way?

"Unreasonably" hot device

- The thermal conductivity is much higher in glass than plastic. I wouldn't worry about it.

Poor battery performance

- Give it a few charge cycles...Got 5 hours screen on, 20 hrs on, 5% left yesterday on first charge! Also disable location tracking via WiFi, and disable Google Currents auto-update.

Poor touchscreen sensitivity

- Not sure. Screen protector?

Feedback when plugged in.

- It's a ground loop. Google it and fix it.

Easy scratching/cracking

- Doesn't make much technical sense (http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/sites/all/files/GG2 PI Sheet Rev b_050912.pdf), but perhaps things are cracking due to high thermal gradients (GG2 has a lower coef of expansion than GG1, so not sure why that would be the case...perhaps the thinner material?).
[Nexus 4 General] kangxi:
When has an Android phone gotten more than a day with moderate use? RAZR Maxx doesn't count.

But yes, I have noticed it getting very hot especially when charging. Probably because it is glass.
[Nexus 4 General] :
I get 2 with a crappy myTouch Q.

The thermal conductivity of glass is 5-10x greater than plastic, so I would think glass is the culprit.
[Nexus 4 General] G1ukos:
Add rattle and yellow tint.

And touchscreen unresponsiveness.
[Nexus 4 General] Hexxer:
The speaker make some noises - also if it is not in use. Hold it near to your ear and you can hear it. (pls test it). It crackle low.

Is there a bug report or something?
[Nexus 4 General] GR36:
If your going to make an issues list please make sure you take into account how many phones have this issue.

I dont have any of these issues, and the battery 'issue' is not an issue at all. I am waiting for someone to pipe up about a rattle:laugh: that can only be heard when shaking to phone near your ear!

Also take into account some issues phone may have will be faulty devices. A standard manufacturing fault rate is <3% however most are happy with <5%.
[Nexus 4 General] :
The speaker (like to play music) or the earphone speaker (to listen to someone talk).

I already have the latter.
[Nexus 4 General] Hexxer:
The earphone speaker
[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
I have an issue to add: Not everyone has a Nexus 4 yet, that's a HUGE issue!! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Hexxer:
Usefull posting. Go to your mum and cry
[Nexus 4 General] jholt1:
My N4 seems to be getting pretty hot. Battery life could be better (it probably will). Rattling can only be heard shaking it quite violently next to my ear and even then it is quiet.
[Nexus 4 General] gear.h34d.2012:
Experiencing none of the aforementioned issues. Only thing is my volume rocker is barely squeaky. Guessing I got lucky.
[Nexus 4 General] AntonJart:
1. Rattling part inside.

2. Clicking USB port: when you plug it in - slight motion of the phone makes a CLICK noise.

3. Camera on the back is not aligned in the the center.
[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
It's called a joke, buddy. ;) Laugh a little.
[Nexus 4 General] il buono:
1. Barely noticeable on my device unless I shake it like a maniac next to my ear.

2. Don't have this

3. Mine is centered perfect. Keep in mind production is never 100% perfect so there's bound to be misalignment on occasion.

I also have yet to experience any warming and I've been messing around with it since early this morning.

[Nexus 4 General] Nitemare3219:
I actually managed to hear the rattling when talking on the phone by turning my body/head a bit quickly.

However, I don't care at all that it makes this noise.
[Nexus 4 General] Shamingo:
It should be noted that the most typical reason for a slight rattling in a smart phone is an auto-focus camera sensor/lens. This is an "issue" that seems to plague all smart phones with auto-focus cameras.
[Nexus 4 General] lnfound:
Strange, I have the opposite experience. I noticed no interference on my phone whereas my skyrocket was a disaster when doing both.
[Nexus 4 General] halo0:
since apparently we're being picky, these would be my annoyances so far

1.) scratched screen

2.) rattle from inside the phone

3.) buzz from speaker

4.) weak haptic feedback motor (especially compared to galaxy nexus)

5.) poor touchscreen sensitivity
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
My issues

1. Static noise

2. Have slight lift where the chrome and rubber parts meet

3. Screen flicker

4. Brightness gets stuck and only a reboot fixes it

Considering returning and getting a s3
[Nexus 4 General] xchasa:
Hardly think you or most people reporting are being picky. It's one thing to have a well priced phone that has some small bugs, it's another thing completely to have vibration irregularity, buzzing from speaker, a noticeable rattle from camera (if that's what it actually is), interference during calls. Having one of these issues would annoy me, I'd be pissed off if I suffered all listed issues at once. And some are.

I'm shaking the Hell out of my phone now... No rattle

Calls are clear

No phantom sound coming out of speaker.

Btw. It's not a nexus 4. Wish it was but I'm going to wait this one out. No point downgrading:(
[Nexus 4 General] dahost:
The rattle at the top back of the phone is the only issue I'm seeing. Its SOOOOOO bad. When I tap my finger above the " Nexus" icon the rattle seems to come from around the camera. Its not the camera lenses, something separate (as checked that on my One X and S3 and it is the same as them.) I swapped it out in CPWH in London and the replacement had the exact same issue (as did their demo unit). I hear it every time I put my phone down on hard surface. Really disappointed as its not available in Ireland so had to get it in London.
[Nexus 4 General] thegripmaster:
iphone 4S also seems to have a similar issue https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3393647?start=915&tstart=0
[Nexus 4 General] admiez:
I only hear a slight rattle noise a few seconds after shaking the phone vigorously. It is coming from the volume buttons. In fact if I hold my finger over the volume rocker while shaking the phone, there is no rattle. The same is true after having pressed the buttons. It's only a few seconds after shaking the phone that they seem to become loose and start to rattle. In any case, it's almost inaudible.
[Nexus 4 General] snavid972:
Screen flicker on mine ... very annoying

Or better yet, DON'T, since that's the AOSP issue tracker, not the Nexus 4 issue tracker.

REPORT YOUR NEXUS DEVICE ISSUES HERE: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/static.py?hl=en&ts=2715807&page=ts.cs

If you're determined to be an idiot and spam up the AOSP issue tracker with irrelevant things, JUST STAR THE ISSUE, DON'T REPLY. When you reply, it sends an email to EVERYONE who starred it!

You're just pissing off developers who have no power to help you and probably wouldn't want to anyway, since you're making a mess in the tool they rely on to do their job. For **** sake people, can you at least learn how to COMPLAIN properly if nothing else?

Shame on OP for being so ignorant. Edit your post and get rid of that irresponsible link.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Well that's rude.
[Nexus 4 General] duraeas:
My main issue is a small dot of light in the middle of the screen, that shows up when white/bright colours are displayed... but only from off angles. I can't see if when I stare at the phone from any angle that I normally would (I didn't notice it in the first two days of having the phone), so I'm having trouble deciding whether or not to get it replaced :confused:

To be clear, this isn't a bright/stuck pixel. It's more like a nick in the layer between the backlight and the LCD. I just remind myself that it's still leagues better than the non-defective banding when gray was displayed on my GNex.

I also have the rattling issue. I had this issue with my Nexus One, Nexus S, and Galaxy Nexus, so I'm not sweating it :P

I'm getting pretty bad battery life, 8 hrs with 2 he's screen on. It is also always warm. It is NEVER cool to the touch. Has anyone else experienced this? Could it be that my CPU isn't throttling down?
[Nexus 4 General] halo0:
Today mine stopped going to sleep. I checked the time during a movie and didn't press the lock button to turn it back off. About a half hour later I noticed it was extremely warm because the screen never shut off. Only solved by a reboot.

The hits just keep coming!
[Nexus 4 General] jkang29:
battery doesn't fully charge overnight

Has anyone else experienced battery not charging fully?

I left it plugged in overnight and saw that it stopped charing at 87% twice past 4 days.

After I unplugged it and plugged it back in, then it charged to 100%.

Has anyone else's power button been unresponsive sometimes? Sometimes I have to click it a few times before the phone will wake up. Sometimes the screen becomes unresponsive for a few seconds too...

Did you take off the plastic from the back? It is supposed to be taken off. I have take the plastic off and I see no IMEI number.
[Nexus 4 General] Taijohnsen:
2 worst things about the phone..

I have the earpiece speaker buzz. Not a big deal when the screen is off, but during calls you can hear it quite loudly.

I am in a low signal area and the phone seems to interfere with my computer speakers from a fair distance. My guess is that the phone has a powerful transmitter and some shielding issues on the speaker..

I also get high battery drain when playing music especially over bluetooth. Mediaserver process goes rampant, this was the case with my nexus s as well. I was really hoping they fixed that bug :(
[Nexus 4 General] blkbltwrestler:
I havent yet I am waiting for my case to arrive. I hope thats it.

Guys, I really want a Nexus 4 but after reading this thread Im confused...

I had an Xperia Arc S and it was great, then I got a Galaxy S2 and is garbage, low quality materials, lags, bugs, I really want a replacement, yesterday I almost squased it against my wall... The phone is dualcore but is slower than my single core arc s...

Should I try the Nexus 4 or not because it have more issues than the galaxy s2?? maybe try the HOX?

Please I need an advice for a new phone.
[Nexus 4 General] illcodeforfood:
Nexus 4. Incredible multitasking. Of course IT has some issues as is a new phone and not a ferrari. Go buy a car and stare at the joints you will see its not perfect. Remember some of the things postes here are not even issues. Rattling etc. Some of the persons here are just a little crazy and before enjoying the phone they will stare at IT for a month untill they find some issue todo complain for.
[Nexus 4 General] knsitu:
I called to Google Support to ask about the constant noise inside the nexus 4.

They said never heard about that issue before, I wast the first one and they will proceed with a replacement because that noise is not normal and in 48 hours I will get my replacement. (I didn't ask for a replacement, i just ask about the problem)

I explained to them that's a known common issue in forums and reviews, and several nexus 4 have the same problem but they said they didn't knew it until I called them (Weird..)

When I finish the call I felt unsatisfied and I called again to speak with another person. The next guy said the same bull****, They didn't know about the problem before, they do daily meetings to improve the support and they must have heard about that problem.

I was piss off because here in xda and other forums that problem was so present I ask to the guy if he could check it personally with a Nexus 4.

He said will do it and in a couple of hours he will send me a email with the results. True, In two hours he sent me an email saying that his Nexus 4 unit does not do any kind of noise in any situation. (Weird again...)

I explained the issue with extremely precision and details. The intensity, the location and the situation when the noise is being heard.

Now they're sending me a replacement and I bet the new one it's going to have the same problem.

I start to think they speculate with the money they hold in your bank account as a warranty for them. Because I didn't put any effort to replace my nexus 4 but they almost force me to do it. hehehe
[Nexus 4 General] nachomaster:
Do you guys think its worth calling for a replacement? Mine does it as well... it seems every nexus 4 does it, so a replacement wont be the solution right? Thanks

[Nexus 4 General] macr0t0r:
The thread has good info, but the poll is meaningless. It needs a "no issues" selection. Currently, it makes it look like every single Nexus 4 is flawed, despite many saying theirs is fine. Of course, even then it won't be very accurate, since people without issues are unlikely to bother posting, voting, or even reading this thread.

Of course, this is why I wish the Nexus was available locally at a store.

Just returned my second N4 problems as follows:

First:

a) Yellow spot at bottom of screen when devices warmed

b) Constant buzz from ear piece - very irritating at night with phone next to bed as i use it for my alarm

c) When using headphones there was a strange noise when the extra cpu horse power kicked in. E.g Couldnt listen to music and browse internet...

d) Coulnt view hd videos at all with headphones due to (C)

Second:

Turned it on and immediately noticed the buzzing again on the earpiece and branch manager could also hear it. Straight refund.

I think ill wait a while for the problems to be ironed out and try again. Shame I gave my S3 to my mrs as now im back to a Desire. Doh!

P.S Glad I bought mine from a highstreet store even though it was alot more expensive as exchange etc.. was instant.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
My question is... Why would a normal person place the front speaker to their ear without making a call ? Seriously ? I don't blame Google for not knowing about it.

OHG and BTW ... My Nokia 8210 had this my desire had this I've never checked with desire HD or nexus but those last 2 had rubbish speakers

Just found the buzzing sound last night, what the heck is it? Would a replacement fix it?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] :
Nope. Others who have had up to three devices still hear it. I believe some can't hear it, and others seem to have worse feedback than others.

Between the LEDs which emit a lot of "noise", and a high density battery, I believe there is poor shielding near the earpiece. I don't think an RMA would fix it. After I got mine it bugged me at first (I want a perfect phone!) but really, it's not that bad for me. I only hear it when my ear is RIGHT on the earpiece, and only in a quiet room. Otherwise I assume it's just the standard white noise when I'm on a call. Maybe a software fix could work, but not sure...
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
I know what you mean, I have to listen very carefully to hear it. Last night I woke up and unplugged my phone but when I put it next to my ear as I thought I heard something, the sound was crystal clear as it was silent at night. Otherwise, it's unnoticeable.

Also, what does RMA mean? :confused:

[Nexus 4 General] :
So maybe there are different issues here. I listened all around my phone, and I can ONLY hear it at the earpiece. There's a general "white noise", hissing sound all the time, then a somewhat regular *click, click, click*...

More than an inch or two away I can't hear it.

Maybe there is something else out there?
[Nexus 4 General] Emama:
I hear really tiny buzz sound,

but hey..I tried so hard to hear it, so why bother..
[Nexus 4 General] me_max:
The earspeaker is not the source. Place your ear on the back at the top, same sound. It's simply coming from one of the electronics inside. On my Thinkpad laptop I've the same sounds. Forgot the special term for that kind of noise.
