touch sensitivity is pretty much suck ass for me. especially when in dolphin trying to scroll. maybe there is a setting i need to hunt down or a rom i need to install. but this is more or less unacceptable on any scale.

other than that.... best phone ever.
[Nexus 4 General] Spitfire:
It was like maracas whenever I move it, I could understand/accept a small rattle. Buzzing was fairly loud but I could have lived with it if the rattle wasn't so bad.
[Nexus 4 General] DonDizzurp:
there is more you can add

you should have made it a multiple choice poll to see if certain problems come together and what not
[Nexus 4 General] VtHondaGuy08:
As of lastnight my phone now suffers from a cracked back, I was literally holding it in my hand and heard a "snap". Turned the phone around only to find a crack going horizontally across the phone under where it says "Nexus". Was going to RMA it but it being the holiday season I don't have the spare coin!!! Stupid Google and LG for making such a low quailty phone, its sad its not even 5 days old. It still has the f*cking stock screen protector on it....
[Nexus 4 General] coolcav:
So it just cracked without applying any force or without dropping it? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] VtHondaGuy08:
Yup, idk how it happened! I literally heard a pop and it was cracked. I've never dropped it or even hit it, I keep my phone in perfect condition.

Don't mind the bubbles on it, I cut up a spare iPhone 5 screen protector to cover the crack in hopes it doesn't chip or get things in it!
[Nexus 4 General] knapz:
Update: To my surprise they sent me a tracking number and I looked it up and it looks like they did ship it! :highfive:

I called last Fri and still got nothing yet! !
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
No camera issues? This happens randomly in my phone while recording 1080p video.
[Nexus 4 General] mpm174:
I have none of these issues, watching videos and holding it, it does get a little warm but not that bad
[Nexus 4 General] pongalong:
Replaced my first Nexus 4 because of creaking along two corners and the edges. Picking up the phone and applying light pressure (simply holding it) would cause a click/creak which started to get annoying. My replacement unit suffers from the clicking-USB port (any motion with a USB cable plugged in causes a clicking noise), should this be cause for concern? Think the USB will give out early on me? Not sure if I want to chance a second RMA.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
Does anyone know if the warmer colours on some phones are due to software or hardware?

My old device before my RMA has better whites which I like.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Stupid light bleeds. I have 3 small light bleeds 2 on the top of my phone and 1 on the top left corner. Its not enough for me to RMA though as other than the light bleeds my phone is perfect. I'm seeing to many other big problems than to take a minor problem like this and play the RMA game with Google. Still extremely frustrating though I wish Google would have charged 50$ more on each phone and took the money to make sure our phones were built correctly. Does anyone know where lg builds these phones?
[Nexus 4 General] NardVa:
I'm curious. Are the phones with issues from the original batch or new batch? We should start tracking the manufacturer date to see if certain issues are tied to a certain batch.
[Nexus 4 General] xchasa:
Out in the back shed it seems. 2 a day.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
Can anyone post a picture of what a light bleed looks like?
[Nexus 4 General] nyyankees3511:
pics in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2005182 . It is very common in IPS displays and if you get one without then consider yourself lucky. just google all ipads, nexus 10, and nexus 7. They all have it, its called ips glow.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
Oh, I have that as well, Doesn't bother me much considering I've never seen an IPS device without it. Not worth a second RMA lol. Also, I only found today that I have very bad screen sensitivity while plugged in, has to be a software issue in my opinion.

Also, does anyone else have a slight pink spot in the centre of the camera, both my N4's have it.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
They make them in Korea... RoK that is!
[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
I was wondering if OP could add an option like: "My device doesn't have any problem" or something of the same sort.. then we will be able to know the number of devices with defects and the ones without defects.
[Nexus 4 General] h.nocturna:
The older E15 driver for the touchscreen has better touch sensitivity and supposedly eliminates the bad screen sensitivity with the AC plugged in. Might wanna check that out in the Development forums if it bothers you that much. =]
[Nexus 4 General] Henrock11:
I have an issue and don't know if its hardware or software related and am wondering if anyone is experiencing the same. After turning the screen on, it will not allow me to unlock the lock screen. It will remain unresponsive unless I lock the screen, at which time it will allow me to unlock the screen as usual. This doesn't happen all the time , its random but its a bit annoying. Just want to know if anyone else is experiencing this issue. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
I have this.
[Nexus 4 General] macr0t0r:
Well, my Nexus 4 finally arrived. Either I'm really lucky, or they've changed something. I get no static from the earpiece nor external speaker during phone calls. There is no audible buzzing unless I press my ear against it (same buzzing I get from my HTC Inspire). Touchscreen still works while it is plugged in. Also, the screen looks nice and bold (may want to adjust eh white balance juuuuust a tad, though).

So...here's my advice. It's apparent that they can make a solid phone. It's possible that they have multiple factories of varying quality control, In any case, RMA the thing until you get what you pay for. That's business.

- Jim
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
Let us know know in a few days how the earpiece is.
[Nexus 4 General] coolcav:
So you hear the buzzing noise when you press your ear against it. But that is how we make calls, isn't it? I got the third Nexus 4 couple of days back (I had to RMA the previous ones). This one has buzzing noise too but considerably low noise than the previous ones.

So, is this buzzing noise normal for the nexus 4 phones?
[Nexus 4 General] macr0t0r:
I don't know how best to describe it. I can only hear it if it is quiet in the room and my ear is against it (seems to occur down in the middle, not from the earpiece). It's the same level as I hear from my HTC Inspire. It's actually quieter than from my Palm Tungsten E (that wouldn't take much). It's more of a "hum" than a "buzz." I'm completely fine with it.

I'll let you guys know after Christmas if the speaker is still solid and clean. As of right now, I'm rather happy with the quality.

I still wonder just what percentage of devices have this issue. Most people who don't have a problem won't bother coming here. It's just in my nature to look at all "problem" threads before I buy a device so I know what to look for (I want to test all potential issues within the 15-day RMA window). My only indicator that this might be more common than usual is hearing that some people got the same issue after an RMA.

- Jim
[Nexus 4 General] johnciaccio:
Would be nice to have a poll comparing those with hardware issues and those that don't just to see our chances of getting a defective phone.

I wouldn't count battery performance or touch screen performance as those can be pretty subjective or software issues. Depending on what phone you are coming from...

Also when maybe hardware issue on phone received before last week to see if they have changed something in QC or manufacturing.
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
Another random issue. Happened several times since i received the phone on november 28. When i want to adjust screen brightness in the toggle widget sometimes it doesn't work. Gets stuck on whatever setting i had. I have to reboot for the widget to work again. Could be a JB thing, could be the hardware, i'm not sure. Can't wait to get rid of this POS when replacement arrives, which i ordered on december 1 and no shipping info yet.

LG, GOOGLE execs, if you read this - FCUK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

update: Display Brightness adjustment no longer works in Display settings. I thought it's the widget only. Phone needs to be rebooted for brightness adjustment to work. Not sure what causes it.
[Nexus 4 General] shadowofthelocust:
My screen lights up without warning from sleep. There doesn't seem to be any particular pattern to when this happens.

If anyone else has this problem and can suggest a fix, it would be welcome.
[Nexus 4 General] porkchopbolt:
I think this might be software related (I hope). My camera just locks up sometime when I try to take a pic. It's like it's constantly trying to focus but can't. Or as if it can't decide whether to use flash or not in lowlight.

I am going to solve this by installing a 3rd party app but you shouldn't have to do this with stock. I still want photosphere.
[Nexus 4 General] unfaix:
Apparently this is not as important as shorter battery or touch sensitivity.

For me, the battery and touch sensitivity doesn't matter if it the touch doesn't work when I try to unlock the phone.

Been so patient, love everything on this phone except for the frozen lock screen.

:banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] snarfington:
Got my phone yesterday, only defect I'm aware of is a really minor buzz from the earpiece - but I REALLY need to put it right against my ear (closer than I would for a phone call even) and it causes me no bother at all. Probably not going to RMA. Very happy.
[Nexus 4 General] rellivisit:
My power button is loose, which makes a very little sound when calling. Other than that, perfectly happy.
[Nexus 4 General] kkh786:
I can hear the rattle (camera/volume rocker or something else inside).. its not been reported on the front page here?

NB. I know its a common issue.. seen a few threads about it.. but this one doesnt mention it..
[Nexus 4 General] nuclearmonkeyuk:
Is there a fix for the yellow tint around the home soft key? I get it after the screen has been on for a while. If I turn the screen off or don't use the phone for a while it goes away but soon comes back. Its annoying more than anything. Some people with this problem on Iphones said it was the glue curing and it goes away over time. Don't wanna give it too much time and then the phone be out of warranty lol
[Nexus 4 General] movielover76:
Issues

I don't have an issues really, my battery drains pretty fast when I'm home because my signal is very low, but that's common with phones when your in a low signal area. That said the phone holds the connection and provides better data speeds and clearer voice even when in a low signal area than my GNex did, so I can't complain.

I expect many of the battery drain issues are this, or rogue apps keeping the phone awake. I live in an area with fairly good T-mobile coverage, I really never lose signal. But because T-mobile uses such high frequencies and building penetration isn't the best, I often have a weak signal.
[Nexus 4 General] port76:
theirs one thing which anoyes me on most ROMs that is when I'm watching a YouTube video over the web when input it into landscape on screen fill and start watching the forward, play and rewind button keep appearing every time I move my phone is so annoying has anybody any ideas and I'm not touching the screen :(

I have a creaky volume rocker (particularly when pressing the bottom portion). Not a major problem since I rarely use the volume rocker but still annoying.
[Nexus 4 General] dr.devman:
Can't wait till mine comes in...hopefully no probs.
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
I'm going to wait as long as it takes until LG fixes ALL hardware issues and then i'm going to RMA for the last time. Google doesn't mind if we keep RMA'ing phones but i'm tired of this game. Google admits earpiece buzzing is a problem but there's no official word if/when LG will fix it. No other issues in my replacement phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Blunnt:
im wandering if the crackling noise will affect the phone in any way ... but i`m going to wait till Easter hoping they fixed the problem then RMA ...

My major issue is the data drop and had latency causing issues when I'm trying to connect to a site or play online games. Keeps getting connection error and need to wait about fifteen to thirty seconds to connect. Is this a software issue or a T-Mobile issue?
[Nexus 4 General] j007w:
After waiting for over a month my Nexus 4 is finally shipped; however, after reading this thread I've decide to just return it. It's just not worth all the hassle. I'm going to get the Note 2 instead.

I received mine about two weeks ago and i have to say I LOVE IT!!!....

I can hear Rattlin, But every other device i owned had this including the s3

I dont get touch issues only when connected to none usb 2.0 ports, And once again this happened on my older phones including the s3

Compared to my s3 and 4s which i had to RMA Numerous times and something always came back wrong, My Nexus is perfect

Happy New Year! As promised, here is my report so far: it's still perfectly fine. I sleep next to it and do not hear a buzzing sound. External speaker is still fine. Screen still looks good. Call me lucky, or there are just few of us owners with functional devices that have bothered to check this thread. In any case, there are good ones out there, so this appears to be more of a workmanship issue than design.

Has anyone had any MMS issues using either the stock messaging app or any third party app? It seems as though I can download them (sometimes...) without too much hassle but I cannot send any. I had this issue before and I've just rooted it and am still having issues. I'm on 4.2.1 and have not touched any APN settings (on AT&T). Any help would be appreciated as this is quite the annoyance!
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
I'm on my second phone, rma'ed the first one. Both phones rooted stock rom. I have same 2 issues that were in the first phone and need to be addressed.

1. Earpiece static

2. By end of day display brightness menu or toggle don't work. Not sure if some of my downloaded apps cause this or it's 4.2.1. I don't think Tunein radio or SPB TV or iGo GPS or browsers Chrome Opera Firefox can disable brightness adjustment.

Haven't tested long enough because i can't even enjoy my phone. When 100 out of 100 customers receive perfect phones i'll RMA one last time. If the 3rd phone has static or any other issues Google should send me N5.

You sleep next to it? haha

Actually I have mine right next to my bed also. :)
[Nexus 4 General] James.UBC:
this thread is dumb

Also, accelerometer cant rattle... It's an IC...

most likely it's the autofocus, or maybe the battery shifting or volume rockers

I can get 2 days with moderate use out of my note 2. With heavy usage, it's at 25% by the time I plug it in at end of day
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
If an IC is rattling you better RMA your phone

If the autofocus is rattling you better RMA your phone

If the battery rattling you better RMA your phone

If the volume rockers rattling you better......deal with it.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:

[Nexus 4 General] crazeco:
Posting this from my N4. I have a rattling too. I don't hear a rattle when I face the phone screen down (toward the floor) and shake it. Otherwise, I do.

Could it be the autofocus on the camera?

Seems like a very common issue, must be normal.

I also had some screen glitching while in camera mode and adjusting settings with the new menu. Went away on close and reopen.
[Nexus 4 General] ianm:
Got my N4 16GB on Thursday morning and then had to arrange an exchange via Google yesterday as the touchscreen has ceased to respond to touches.

The device was not rooted or messed about with in any way before this happened. Tried doing a factory reset via recovery and unlocked the bootloader to reflash the factory image.

The Google support guy talked me through resetting via recovery before arranging a replacement to be ordered. The process was pretty straight forward, they emailed me a special link, in addition to RMA details, to place a new order where they put a hold temporarily for the value on my card which will cancel it off after I get the replacement and they receive my nonworking one. I am now in the queue with the rest of the people who are backordered. The guy I spoke to was not sure if I would get bumped up the queue or not given the circumstances.

I seemed to be the first person with an N4 the support guy had talked to and there were no other instances of such faults that he had heard of. Hopefully this is just an isolated incident rather than a common fault.

[Nexus 4 General] B97:
Thanks, everyone's complaining about these things in this phone but that's the only one which I care about. Still love this device!
[Nexus 4 General] PhilipL:
Hi

Rattle is caused by the camera and the lens element that is free to move move back and forth when asked to focus, when the camera is off it just floats freely and can cause a rattle. A lot of phones have similar rattles, i.e. my HTC One X. It is absolutely nothing to be worried about.

Regards

Phil

Do you face any issues? As read most of the devices manufactured in 2nd week of Dec'12 was not having issues.
[Nexus 4 General] aybee23:
My friend already had 2 units replaced, first issue he had was the screen suddenly went dead just after a day of use, but the backlight was still on. When he had this replaced, the new unit lost it sound from its speaker after 3 days. Talk about being lucky since we both bought N4s at the same time in the same store, and it could have been me who had those problems :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] macr0t0r:
Errr....thanks for the note, but it doesn't do my any good to edit my post if you copy my entire post into your reply.:eek:

As for issues, one of my recorded videos had the vertical scrolling issue. Otherwise, the phone as been solid. I use it on the AT&T network. I've been able to receive/send MMS messages with no issues. No buzzing. GPS is awesome. Screen looks good. So far I'm pretty happy with the purchase. My only complaint (and I knew this going in), is that the low-light performance of the camera is a bit lackluster.

[Nexus 4 General] mastrgamr:
Low phone speaker

Does anyone else have the person they are talking to mention how low you sound to them when speaking on the phone?

It seems like I have a low microphone on my nexus 4, unless the phone is directly in front of my mouth the person can't hear me clearly, I'm thinking it might be hardware but I know with some phones this can be corrected with a custom driver that makes the microphone more receptive

Is there an app or setting that I can use that would disable noise cancellation in case that's what causing my mic to make me sound low?
[Nexus 4 General] solvingchaos:
I get the same complaint if I use speakerphone. The remote caller says that my voice sounds far away and low. If I'm not using speakerphone or if I'm using a voice recording app my voice sounds loud and clear. I'm holding out that a software update will fix this issue. I really don't want to try my luck with the RMA roulette game. Other than this "issue" my N4 is flawless.
