[Nexus 4 General] Post_Modern_Human:
I swapped out my first Nexus 4 at a carrier store as it has some strange 3cm black/off colour sections of the thing part of the front bezel. My replacement has some vertical back-light bleeding on the top right edge of the screen, going about half way down. It kind of bugs me because the phone isn't perfect but I can't always see it, really is only a few pixels wide. I think most people couldn't spot it or notice it but I have a "gift" for seeing things like this. I'm not the keen on replacing it again especially since I have to bring it back into the store to do it. I also have a bit of a rattle noise if I shake the phone, I think it might be the volume button but not sure. Oddly enough my first phone with the bezel issue had a perfect screen and had no rattle noise.

Both phones I had were made in Korea, this second version is a Rev02 hardware, not sure about the first one.
[Nexus 4 General] VertigoM:
Has the touch sensitivity issue been resolved by LG? I received my N4 a couple wks ago and have absolutely no issues with the touchscreen. And this is with an Xtremeguard screen protector too.
[Nexus 4 General] k_nivesout:
Anyone else notice a creaking, mainly on the bottom near the micro USB port? I'm wondering if the screws could be tightened?

That's probably the most bothersome issue I've run into, the build of the phone feels nice, but creaking plastic ruins it to some extent. Aside from that, there's definitely some backlight bleed, but from what I've read, unfortunately it's pretty typical. My main concern was the display, and while it suffers from poor calibration (or lack thereof), there isn't a dead pixel to be seen or any unusual banding. Overall I'm reasonably happy, especially considering all the issues that have been reported.

The buzz sound coming from the earpiece doesn't bother me, it's not loud enough to hear in phone calls, only when silent, however the buzz from bluetooth audio is horrible, When I use bluetooth audio with my speakers, there's a buzz + really high pitched sound which hurts my ears...

This really annoys me, I use bluetooth audio all day, I hope it can be fixed.

Another thing which annoys me is there's no 16:9 for the native camera, I know you can use Camera Zoom FX, and turn on the cropping feature to make them 16:9, but there's problems with this app, it runs slower, you have to enable the cropping every time you load the app and the auto lighting adjustments doesn't work as well as the stock camera app, usually the photos are yellow unless you manually change it, I might as well use my DSLR...

Their is an apk to enable 16:9 on the normal app, I tried using it on my HTC Sensation and ran JB 4.2 camera on it... And the 16:9 works on there, unfortunately it won't let me install it on my Nexus, as it says there's already a camera app installed. I don't know if anyone knows if there is a way around it...

No problems whatsoever with mine guys :).
[Nexus 4 General] fatjivi:
I hear a loud static sound when I make a call using earpiece. No static noise when listening to music or watching video. Also no static noise when I make calls without earpiece. The intensity of this static noise is varying, sometimes loud and sometimes very low. But calls become impossible when it suddenly becomes loud. But I noticed that when I cover the back of the phone with my hand the intensity if this static decreases and becomes more bearable. This seems very different from the buzzing sounds people have been describing here. Is anybody else experiencing this?
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
I don't hear any static and my phone is perfect. No more N4, no more problems. Done. Maybe N5 next year. Hope not.
[Nexus 4 General] fatjivi:
I gave up my s2 for this but this dreadful problem is making me regret my decision :( s2 had crystal clear voice. Even the people I call have started telling me that the static is really irritating and I should call them without using any earpiece. Both uncomfortable and embarrassing for me. First nexus phone I buy and already I've been let down. Even RMA isn't a guarantee here Lol because majority of the people say that even the RMA piece have this issue.
[Nexus 4 General] spacemanvt:
does anyone have problems with the power button making crunching noises and not set in properly?

[Nexus 4 General] richox:
So just received mine, and after 2 days of use the loudspeaker has randomly blown. happened all by itsself when i was just playing a game.

saw a couple of references to it in this thread, but no discussion. I've tried factory reset and giving it a gentle love tap (drop) which has done nothing unfortunately.

any comments or discussion on this, any solutions or other options to try and get it working?
[Nexus 4 General] macr0t0r:
I seem to be the perpetually lucky one (not sure why I'm still on this thread). Mine has already endured two "love taps" on a hardwood floor and the external speaker is still fine for viewing YouTube. Granted, I have a bumper on mine. If it is only 2 days old and the speaker is already toast, then RMA that thing. Seriously! You will probably have this phone for at least a year, so how much do you really want to "put up with" issues or risk killing the warranty by attempting a DIY fix when it's known that there are good builds of the Nexus 4 out there? Exchange it and get your money's worth.

My only issue is that I have that sleep-WiFi bug. I guess I need to apply this fix to mine:

[Nexus 4 General] anwedr:
I have the same issue.

I don't think it has to do with the SIM card. I thought it was due to the SIM card because of a bad cut from SIM to Micro SIM.

After repeated attempts, the phone would complete search of networks.
[Nexus 4 General] armthehomeless:
I also have this issue! Finally someone else!

A factory reset has improved it...but its still happening. These screenshots are from before the reset:

Re: [REF][POLL] Nexus 4 Issues [UPDATED 11/30/12][REF][POLL] Nexus 4 Issues [UPDATED

Agreed. That's why I haven't bothered returning it. Perfect phone other than that :)
[Nexus 4 General] MajinJoko:
I suffer from Buzzing & Lose-part-sound in the earpiece when shaking the phone.

Moreover, very annoying problem from the speaker, it takes me 2 days to figure out what it was.

If I enable "touchscreen sounds", then set the volume to mute. Every time you tap on the touchscreen, the speaker is turned on and you can hear a buzz. The most annoying part is that after few seconds the speaker is turned off (no buff), but if you tap again on the screen, the speaker is switched on and you can hear a sound like a "click" before the buzz start (I assume this is the sound of the speaker when is powered on).

Very disappointed.

Googled for it, but couldn't find anyone else reporting this.

As soon as I can borrow a friend's nexus 4, I will try on another phone.
[Nexus 4 General] rockvoid:
I can hear a hissing sound at the middle of the display (when holding it close to the ear) even if the display is turned off....

Lose-part-sound while shaking the phone is normal - it´s the autofocus of the camera (even iphone 5 has it)...

This was a resolve for me: I have installed faux123 kernel. For that you must to root your phone. It's amazing, I have no buzzing now!

Hi any updates whether managed to fix it? I've also very similar data "stall" /drop and very frustrating. Was about to ask for RMA but reading through the forums likely to get more problematic replacement. Other than that clear earpiece and problem free screen.
[Nexus 4 General] Vazduh:
I read this thread because I'm interested in buying this phone, but now i really have mixed feelings. The thing is that in my country the cheapest store sells the 16 gigs nexus 4 at around 500 € so what was released as a very cheap phone for its hardware, becomes on pair with other high end phones. What would you do in my case?
[Nexus 4 General] :
Any buzzing fix it? How's the latest rev of hardware?

[Nexus 4 General] X04D:
I love the phone but it's so fragile it's ridiculous. The front is made of Gorilla Glass, which is pretty fantastic. I have some light scratches on it, but likely that's just my fault. However, the back seems like regular glass? I haven't even dropped the thing and it's already cracked in the corner around the camera. I had it for less than a month before I noticed that...now it's chipping.

Way to cheap out...

[Nexus 4 General] Noctus Nosfuratsu:
Hmmm... Every one keeps saying this. I had flashed factory image, formated my SD card and so on so many times that I don't think I can get a flawless phone. Its very discouraging when its only me who is affected. It has been happening before I flashed paranoid android anyways. What's up with that?
[Nexus 4 General] justFaisal:
My power button is kinda getting very loose. Idk if I should RMA it because everything else about this phone is great!
[Nexus 4 General] doragasu:
I have been using my Nexus 4 for a month and half, and I have no issues (more than two very light scratches on the back glass). And I have been using it without any cover/bumper. No noise from the speakers, no problem with the screen, no glass cracks, stock ROM works perfect...

I'm very very happy with my phone :)
[Nexus 4 General] mELIANTE:
Is the led supposed to light up?
[Nexus 4 General] sspyed:
The LED will or won't light up depending on the ROM you're on--some ROMs have that feature (ex. Black Bean 8). Also I believe there are apps for rooted users that have LED controls, no idea if those work though.
[Nexus 4 General] ekmenet:
Yes it lights, but stock ROM has barely or non available color setups for the Notification LED. You can download the free app “Light Flow” from the Play Store. It does have lots of settings so it takes a while to tune it as you wish, but works very well on N4. It doesn't need root to instal .
[Nexus 4 General] statecowboy:
I'm mostly in the "happy" camp, but if I could change a couple of things here is what I would like:

1 - I would love to have a physical switch for toggling between vibrate/normal silent/normal etc. sound modes. This is something I loved about my iphone. Not having to pull my phone out of my pocket, turn it on, unlock it etc. is very convenient.

2 - Semi-related to item 1. I'm not a huge fan of the rocker volume button and power button on the N4. They have a very "soft" feel to them, especially with any sort of protective case which reduces the physical feedback you get when depressing them.

3 - Officially supported LTE. This is not a huge deal for me, but it would have been a nice feature.
[Nexus 4 General] jm77:
Got mine around the middle of Feb, had serious signal issues. RMA'd, got a replacement about 2 weeks later. Still signal issues.

I'm mostly happy with the features of the phone, but the signal issues really make the device unreliable (I'm on ST/AT&T). My area is supposed to have excellent AT&T coverage, but you wouldn't know it based on my phone.

To be honest, if I'd known it was going to be this bad I probably would have stuck with my Gnex on VZW. :(

Gotta just ride it out, or perhaps try T-Mobile next month..

[Nexus 4 General] EcPercy:
There is a big issue with the noise cancellation on this phone. When making a normal phone call people on the other end can barely hear you. If you switch to speaker the volume is normal. Also, if you are using VOIP (skype, viber, etc..) the volume is normal.
[Nexus 4 General] Palarith:
Love the phone. my only gripe is the battery. I use mine constantly and it does not stand up to a full day of use

Mine Is all stock and it last almost two days. Wi-Fi always on, i use it at work for music/YouTube music for the store.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 PM ----------

My only issue with it is bluetooth + Wi-Fi issues. At work we have a wireless Bluetooth speaker so we can change the music without plugging our phones to the jack. It works for awhile but for some reason, wifi and bluetooth disconnects after awhile almost as if im on airplane mode. Some say its a router compatibility issue, but my nexus 7 doesnt have that problem

Front facing camera

Hi,

My phone is less than a week old. It was working very well for the last 4 days now my front camera is not working at all. It just shows some kind of flickering screen.

What could be the reason. Hardware or software.? :(

Thanks!

When I hold Nexus 4 close to my ear I hear buzzing sound, even if I am not in a call or using any app.

I don't hear it when the screen is locked(with black screen), but as soon as I press the power button, I hear the noise. I don't hear the noise in the earphones though.

Is this a common issue or I got a faulty one?:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] asphaltsally:
My Galaxy Nexus has it too and it's never caused any kind of problem. I wasn't even aware of it until reading about everyone complaining about the N4 rattle, so I shook my GNex and there it was.

This happens to me too. Oh I just saw the rolls eyes. Haha! I was about to say I dunno if I care?

---------- Post added at 08:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:45 AM ----------

Thanks for sharing... Man I dunno if any of this is really important... The only way I'd care is if there was a lot of posts like this, and then I'd only worry that its a marker of poor build quality and I'd be concerned that something else would break later that I'd actually care about.

This phone is solid.

The one thing for me that hasn't been mentioned yet is that the purposeful curved glass on the side is bumped up higher than the side wall.. So when you put your phone on a scratchy hard surface it will contact glass before the sidewall. This is different from the back of the phone. Just be careful where you set this beautiful hunk of polished glass....

For example again. HTC One S shuting down Wlan/Wifi if possible, N4 doesnt. Its my wifes phone and both are in the same room and so on.

Disable "Google-Now" does not help. Setting is "Switch off Wifi if not pluged in". A bug?

Looks like the only physical defect worth looking for right now would be the yellow tint on the screen from the adhesive in the screen.

Things like touch screen issues can be resolved in an update as they are rarely hardware related unless the issue is very severe

[Nexus 4 General] unlvmike:
Really???? Man I can't believe people look for defects in a phone. The rattling, why on earth would you think shaking your phone is normal use? I didn't notice it until I read this. Fix- don't be an idiot with a $200-$400 device.

Heat? I have not noticed this at all. Sure it gets a little bit warm, but it is not unbearable or worse than any phone I've had.

Yellow tint? You are looking to hard to find issues with a beautifully crafted phone.

Buzzing? I have not noticed this. Speaker is clear and call quality is great. Nice and clear

Battery? Look at my usage, sure everyone's differs, but this is more than enough for me. With 30 minutes of phone calls. And at least 45 minutes of web use. Auto brightness and live wallpaper on. About 30 minutes of music playing.

I can assure you, if not for the internet. Most of you would not notice these " flaws".

I am sure you are going to make that same argument." We need to demand more and hold manufactures to a higher standard foot their flagship phone". Hellno, this is the best phone I have had and I have had too many. Stop complaint and enjoy the phone. Some of you are probably some spoiled kids and were never taught to appreciate things. You know don't know how good we have it. =)

[Nexus 4 General] nash2000:
I agree with both of you. It does seem that people are almost looking for issues, that's not to say they want them or hope to encounter any but these are phones...this isn't "car and driver" as for the other person, I also agree that when I spend any amount of cash on any item I expect it to be as advertised with zero issues and if I encounter these issues I will expect these issues to be addressed. When I had my infuse last year I actually had it warrantied 4 times, now with my GNote, I just recently had my back cover replaced because one of the snaps wouldn't click and I also got a new battery because when it dropped below 5% my wall charger wouldn't recognize my phone...I had to use my PC to charge it. Battery may not have been the issue but I got one anyways. Fact is, any issue is any issue...if it bothers you enough than have it fixed. I don't remember any phone that I've had in the past having a thread all on its own listing issues, maybe there's a reason this phone was so cheap...possible cutting corners? I'll still end up buying this phone just because its off contract and cheap, but I would have serious 2nd thoughts if this was a regular priced phone ($500+) or if I had to use my upgrade. By the time I end up with one I hope most of these issues are sorted out.

I wanted to add- I say these comments with the up most respect with zero intentions of causing argument.

EDIT: Well, I was pretty wasted for the first several hours of owning this phone (showed up at 7PM), and after using it today, I don't feel any issue with screen swiping sensitivity. Maybe I got used to it being slightly different from previous devices, or jack made it up.

I definitely notice a difference in touchscreen sensitivity, meaning it seems to miss my swipes or scrolls on the screen more than other phones have. I find this happens most often when using a calloused finger tip. I can drag a calloused finger tip across the screen very lightly and have nothing register. I've since gotten used to just pressing a little harder and I don't notice it much anymore. I was probably also spoiled by the N7, really my main device recently, that scrolls if you look at it.

When using the 4.2 stopwatch the screen will automatically turn off after however many seconds of inactivity it is set to do so.

This is not an improvement over third party stopwatch apps which kept the screen active when timing something. Very annoying just now when I was frying a nice bit of sirloin, I had to swipe my pattern with greasy fingers in order to get back into the stopwatch app!
