So disappointing this device.

I had the nexus one and still own it. However it was always running out of system storage space and volumes we're so low I missed every 2nd call.. camera sucked and battery live was painful with moderate usage.

I really wanted to upgrade my current one x.

Got it in May, exchanged 3 to get a perfect one. Now it's running well with updates.

Waited for days to place an order for this amazing looking nexus 4.

Looked great on paper. But the storage???

Sounded great what reviewers said. But the phones actual volume???

I was already imagining feeling it. Now I keep imagining dropping it like a slippery hot potato.

I missed out on the first batch.

Lucky me maybe.

Hope not.

Hi all

Recieved 2 nexus4 phones.......

Phone 1.... Brilliant, love it, but does drain battery more than a samsung, and DOES suffer from the faint buzzing in earpiece at all times whether screen on or off.

Phone 2.... Unusable, first full charge lasted a day, second lasted 5hrs, third 30mins, now wont switch on even when plugged in!

I do admire these phones but question the build regularity/quality LG are managing
[Nexus 4 General] Patty_Boy:
I received my phone yesterday and had 4 reboots within and hour while playing Spotify this morning. Hope it's not a major issue.
[Nexus 4 General] thegripmaster:
The hissing noise seems to have affected a lot of people. I couldn't find a link through which I can submit a complaint about my N4. Has anyone else found any link? Otherwise I have to call Google Play. Or do I contact LG directly?
[Nexus 4 General] drht:
- Earphone buzz: check. (hard to hear, louder when screen is on)

- Hot device: check. (expected, four cores at 1.5ghz)

- Poor battery: testing.

- Poor touchscreen sensitivity: not present, AFAIK. (people should mind the phone has so little bezel that the holding hand may be in touch with the rim of the touchscreen, invalidating other touches. Happens mostly when trying to operate it one-handed)

- Feedback when plugged in: not tested.

- Rattle at the top: check. (hard to hear)

- Yellow tint: not present.

- Clicking USB port: not present, AFAIK.

- Dead pixels: not present, yet.

- WLAN issues: not present.

- Force closes: not present. (at least not more than my nexus s)

- Reboots: not present, yet.

- Grainy photos: A LOT.

Tested on a spanish nexus 4 of the first batch.

But, overall, no regret. It's a good device.

Updated OP.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Gee, maybe the apps causing it? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] mercado79:
just took it out of the box and i hope i don't find anything else, but... the top left side of the screen has glue dried on it that overflowed from under the glass.

i've taken some pics of it and will try peeling away the glue, but... hope this isn't indicative of other problems.
[Nexus 4 General] darf:
I called them yesterday and they are sending replacement. They are aware of that issue and I was told LG is working on that.. .whatever it means ;)

I asked: what if replacement will have the same issue and tech support said: we will send you another one and another one... or refund you if you prefer.
[Nexus 4 General] godman_8:
- Earphone buzz: yes

- Hot device: yes (only when it's charging though)

- Poor battery: seems like it so far, but I need to run a few more charge cycles

- Poor touchscreen sensitivity: seems fine

- Feedback when plugged in: idk yet

- Rattle at the top: yes

- Yellow tint: no

- Clicking USB port: yes

- Dead pixels: no

- WLAN issues: downloads seem slower than my actual net speed, but I can't confirm it as a problem

- Force closes: no

- Reboots: no

- Grainy photos: yes

though I'm not trying to complain, I came from a HTC Radar lol
[Nexus 4 General] Naimand:
When did they say that they would ship your phone? I put in for an exchange last night and the CSR told me that it might not come in until the second batch comes in.
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
Could you please add a " no issues at all" option? Would be really nice to see how many got a perfectly fine device.

Also, if possible, could you make the poll multiple choice? I bet some have more than just one issue.
[Nexus 4 General] coolcav:
How does Google do the replacement? Do they send the replacement phone first and then only you send your faulty one or you need to send the faulty one before you get the replacement phone? Do they send the shipping label as well?
[Nexus 4 General] ET3RNA4:
I don't really have any of the problems, however my phone does get kinda hot especially from the back when I'm gaming.
[Nexus 4 General] martindar:
have you tried going to settings press wifi then press settings in that page then advanced and untick 'keep wifi on during sleep' that may be it or i may be completely wrong?
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I'm getting the feedback from earphone speaker. Not really a problem because I like using speakerphone anyway, but I can see how this might bother some people.
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Rattling -- yes. A problem? No.

Getting hot -- yes. A problem? Kinda.

Battery -- yes! yes! yes!
[Nexus 4 General] macca118:
My replacement order has changed from an estimated ship of 24th to just 'Pending'. Thinking I may just return it while I'm still in the 15 day return period and come back in a few months when these issues are sorted. The buzzing on mine is really bad.
[Nexus 4 General] radlink14:
I just have to say the vibration module on this phone is the best i have EVER felt on a cell phone. They did a great job.
[Nexus 4 General] stormtroopercs:
Haha I like it too :p and what's with the hate on the screen? Looks a lot better than the s3 screen I saw at AT&T today when getting my new Sim...
[Nexus 4 General] axtn95:
The buzzing comes from the middle of the phone, sounds like there's a running hard drive in there, a mini hard drive, seriously. Ahhh wth google...

First world problems... Freaking Africans want rice
[Nexus 4 General] wmm:
None of the standard problems with my phone -- no rattle, no earpiece noise (that I can hear -- I used to be able to hear CRTs, but no more), no yellow screen, great speedtest results, etc. -- but the LED flash doesn't work. Both in the camera and with my flashlight app, nada. I've ordered a replacement (although it took ~35 minutes on the phone with a very nice but essentially clueless tech support guy).
[Nexus 4 General] stefandunn:
There should be an option "None" because otherwise we're going to assume 100% of the people who have a Nexus is reporting at least one of those issues. Would be nice to know how many have issue-free handsets.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
You think there is a mechanical hard drive in there? Wow.. That would be a giant step backwords.. lol too funny.. people would never talk to Google again.. yeah.. That is why they can sell them so cheap! They got a bunch of 2001 mobile hard drives.. lol

[Nexus 4 General] vivanshah:
rattling is the autofocus lens. open the camera app up and it won't rattle. almost every phone does this.

noise from the earpiece is similar to what you'll hear from a cheap laptop's headphone output. random emi interference from the board causing static in the earpiece. maybe better shielding would fix this. it's not like the earpiece is active and playing empty audio or anything. don't think its using extra battery. it is slightly annoying during a call though. it's probably tied to cpu activity which is why you can't hear it as much when the screen is off. in mine, i hear it when screen is on and for a few seconds after screen is off. after a couple minutes though, when the phone is deep sleeping, i can't hear anything.
[Nexus 4 General] :
RMA

Decided to RMA. Was told they have replacement stock on hand just for this purpose, but then I read this (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34430979&postcount=21498)
[Nexus 4 General] redhooka:
I get about 1.5 with my S3.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
I'm not sure I would have noticed if no one pointed it out, but the hiss is definitely present. I can not hear it during a phone call though and I don't feel the need to press my ear to the speaker otherwise so I can't say its really a big deal.

IMO if it can't make it a full 2 days, You have to charge every night anyway. Anywhere from 1.1 days to 1.9days is the same thing to me, and thats where every phone I have owned since the original iPhone has fit. Not one can consistently make it a full 2 days, and all of them have been able to make it through a full day majority of the time.

Anybody else tried Bluetooth? Goes crazy with force closes when I try receive a file
[Nexus 4 General] PeterGuru:
Wifi problems ...

Overall I'm quite impressed with the device, although I would love to have LTE.

Anyway, there is one thing that's truly annoying. Wifi is absolutely intermittent. I've had about 8 phones over the last year, and all were able to connect to my home router without a problem, as well as my router at work. With this device, though, connecting at home is sporadic, and can even take 30-60 minutes. At work it's a bit better, but still somewhat sporadic, and connections can take 5-10 minutes.

I've tried every setting imaginable, as well as rebooting routers, etc., but nothing helped.

It's the hardware issue....I'm using lg optimus sol...when usb plugged in the screen touch is unresponsive.....you can feel that better in Swype keyboard....the swiping lines will be scrambled...
[Nexus 4 General] zealtor:
I had the same thing on my galaxy s2 T989...it was super laggy and unresponsive when plugged in. Werid. No such issue on my nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] khaltire:
just bought mine off craigslist for $550 CDN (about $120 more than retail after tax and shipping).. the issues I have are the following. keep in mind, i noticed these issues and then searched and found this thread. confirmed my suspicions:

-clicking usb

- washed out screen (my brother is getting one next batch, need to compare to his to confirm). the clock and signal are a dull greyish blue, i swear its supposed to be more vibrant. it looks like my nexus 7 which was super dull. whites and other colors on the screen look great.

- wifi is intermittent. seems like i cant stay connected for more than 10 seconds. this one is huge, i have to definitely get a replacement

do they sent refurbs or is it a brand new retail package?

also, anyone know if this warranty is transferred to me now that i bought it from soneone? how does google feel about that
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
Anyone getting wonky haptic feedback? When using the keyboard it's consistent. But using the softkeys the strength varies. Sometimes it's so weak it feels like there's no feedback
[Nexus 4 General] magn2o:
Yup. I have a replacement on the way, too.
[Nexus 4 General] okplaya:
The hissing is a big problem for me. I'm a bit disappointed. Call quality is the worst of any prior Android phones I've owned. I'm hoping this can be fixed via software or replacement. I don't experience other issues.
[Nexus 4 General] khaltire:
I have the antenna gate issue. See the following video:

I agree, mine is really bad. If I don't have a tracking number from Google by Monday for my replacement I'm just going to send it back while I'm still in the 15 day return period window. Maybe I'll try again in a few months.

[Nexus 4 General] HungryOwl:
I just received my Nexus 4 today. Everything was wonderful until I plugged it in. I left it to charge for a while and then came back to use it. I noticed it began to get SUPER hot at the top back (near mobo), and under the battery graph in settings it said "not charging". I then unplugged it and waited for it to come back to room temperature and I smelled it near the headphone jack. It smelled horrible and like something was burning (definitely a different smell from the new plastic smell we all love). I have now managed to charged it to 100% without any issues but all of a sudden the haptic feedback changed from the quiet (and expected noise) to a loud sound that sounds like an old playstation 2 dual shock. It was if I had dropped it into sand and particles were against the vibrating mechanism. It was an obvious change that happened in less than a second so it isn't just my paranoia. At this point I wonder if the provided wall adapter is what's faulty and it has somehow messed up the phone. All was fine until I plugged it in for the first time. :''''(
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
Again grounding issue .mine does that as well. But this is present with all my phones so it's caused by grounding
[Nexus 4 General] darf:
I just got my replacement today. I called form RMA Nov 19th. So it was pretty fast.

Bad thing is that new phone makes the same noise. It's not that laud like in the first one, but still exists.

Not sure what to do now. Call for another replacement? Does anyone know when we can expect second batch?
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Maybe just ignore it for now until they figure out what it is. It makes no sense exchanging again when chances ate they are all doing it. I just think it does not bother most people or they do not even notice. Once you start looking for out though that's it...

If it makes as tiny sound while its sitting there than I can live with that. If it is really impacting phone calls that is different.

Are you saying this slight nose is impacting your calls or are you just saying you hear this slight hids when you listen to the phone next to your ear?

Man, so many are sending in for exchanges and I don't even have my first phone yet.. It is no wonder there are none left.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] prepaidguy9081:
Ok so first of all I have straight talk sim installed

Secondly after a vast internet search my apn is correct and workin. All in one, no split mms.

Thirdly I have a good connection 4 bars

Fourthly I have staid in the same location the whole time

Any ideas?

The 4g icon stays there but just no activity, resetting the antena works for fixing this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] iamtimmah:
I doubt it has anything to do with Simple Mobile. I have T-Mobile, and regardless of how long my phone has been on I'm getting bad data issues. This has started within the last two days. I am always in one of two places, work or home. I used to get awesome data speeds at work, and average speeds at home. But now my phone will show that I have 4G and full bars, then it will change to the Edge icon with very little bars, and then the data icon will disappear completely. I have no idea why this is happening. My old S2 for sprint did the same thing. If it continues I'm gonna have to get rid of this beautiful phone.

Hi all,

I would like to ask you about my urgent toubles with my kaiser.

A few days ago my phone rans slow, so I performed soft reset. It ussually help. But now phone can"t boot.

After power-on logo smart mobility appears on the screen and after cca 10 seconds red labels R, G, D in the right botom corner and (if there is inserted SIM card) green light start to blinking and I can dial my number from another phone, but no ring or other response on my phone.

After several days of reading here I tried some solutions and discover following:

P/N: 99HCY104, IMEI: 355757010550073, S/N: HT737GB01576

************

after power on or soft reset:

smart mobility

R 1.27.12.11

G 22.45.88.07H

D 1.56.00.00

and freeze

**************

tricolor screen (after press power+camera):

KAIS130

SPL-1.56.0000

CPLD-8

*************

I can connect via USB and run MTTY1.42:

Cmd>info 0

Platform Model ID:KAIS13000

Platform HW Board ID:31, PVT1

Cmd>info 2

HTCSHTC__001‰řđ'HTCE

Cmd>boot

InitDisplay: Display_Chip=1

No card inserted

OSSIReadBack ++

Read SI data from flash success

tail signature match

Checksum match

UserStorageSIPreload ++

then MTTY freeze and kaiser try to boot and freeze in splash screen

************

If I try to perform hard reset (both soft keys + soft reset) Warning screen appears and let me to press send key to reinstal.

I am hoping to fix without a hard reset. I don't want to lose important data mainly in draft email folder and calendar. Is there any way to save this stuff?

Thank you all for your time.

Sincerely

Jarda
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mfsr98:
I don't think there is a wayy to save this. I think you really have to install a new .nbh, but if you can do a ROM dump, then maybe you can (don't ask, I don't know how to do this).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jaburda:
Don't scare me. I can't lost my hope.

However thank you for quick reply.

I have some idea: sold out ROM chip from mainboard (Samsung K9K2GXXX0M, TSOP 48pin package) and read it in Flash EPROM reader. But I'm affraid I'll get 256 MB hex file and I'll not be able to extract my important information. Does anybody know how is organised data on ROM memory module in Windows CE, especialy in Kaiser?

Thanks for any ideas

I've been using ICS for a while now on the old safestrap. Just decided to upgrade safestrap to 3.05 and try some new roms. I'm kind of tired of not having a video camera in ICS so I was going to go back to GB. However I really like the AOSP roms like AOKP and Cyanogen.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] permutations:
This morning, I got a message on my Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD (2 days old) that Verizon had pushed an update (0.7.2.en.US) and wanted my permission to install it. What is this? Jelly Bean? What version?

The phone came with ICS 4.0.4 and I immediately rooted it and installed Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, so there's that. Will I lose root if I let this update install? I installed JB on my tablet and it broke many of my utilities so I backed it out. Also, JB is hard to root without unlocking the bootloader, which I don't want to do.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Farbulus:
Its not jelly bean. Its just a security update. You will lose root when you upgrade. ( I believe?)
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] permutations:
I just read on another forum that it fixes some Smart Action bugs. I've encountered those, so I'll let it install. Someone else said he was rooted and it wouldn't install, so... I guess I'll see. It's trying to install now.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] permutations:
Well, that was a mistake. It did not fix my Smart Actions problem. As far as I can tell, all it did was take away my root access. Voodoo OTA RootKeeper is not able to get it back :(
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] permutations:
No harm done - I just rooted again, the way I did the first time.

I currently have an LG Viper Running on Official LG 4.0.4 ICS package and i'm rooted. I'm looking at ROM Manager right now and there seems to be no CWM Recovery for my phone. This spurs two questions in my mind:

1. Is it safe to flash a CWM built for a different phone but same make?

-The options i'm given made by LG are: LG Connect 4g MS840, LG Lucid VS840, LGE Esteem 4g, LGE Optimus M+, LGE Revolution 4g, LGE Spectrum 4g

2. If not, is there a workable CWM for the phone? If there isn't, can I expect one anytime soon?
