Mine is dead. 16GB version, shipped all the way from the US to Cambodia. No rooting, no flashing, only updated the OTA of 1.1MB to 4.2.1 version and used for 2 days and went dead. :(

Doesn't power on?

°°°Nexus™ 4 via XDA Premium App°°°
[Nexus 4 General] preahchan:
No it doesn't power on.

The whole bottom of mine creeks :(
[Nexus 4 General] mbucks911:
im considering having mine replaced. does everyone have the issue where even a small amount of non graphics intensive gaming for about 15 mins drains battery almost 40%? it doesnt seem like something that should be happening and its probably my biggest issue with the device
[Nexus 4 General] elliot.newnham:
Probably something user related... I would read the stickies on saving battery and remove unneeded apps.
[Nexus 4 General] mbucks911:
ive literally tried everything even factory reset no location stuff no autostarts and just the stock apps plus the one game, which is hill climb racing, pretty much the same usage. phone also gets hotter than i think it should when playing a game thats not very graphic intensive
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
Lots of people reported this and then somehow figrued a way to turn it on again. Plug the charger in and leave it for a while, then try holding that power button for ~30seconds. Try booting into recovery ?

Keep us updated.

P.S : this scares the s*** out of me because my device will arrive to Jordan in a couple of days and I have absolutely no kind of warranty. So i feel you man ;(.
[Nexus 4 General] preahchan:
I've tried everything. Any button combination, 30 sec 60 sec, wall charging, PC USB charging. I gave up, I'm sending it back and will ask for a refund. Disappointed.
[Nexus 4 General] APC73:
My vibration function works when it feels like it on my phone, sometimes perfect for days other times after 5mins it stops working. Don't think its a software bug as if i turn the phone off and back on there is no startup vibration. Only way i can get it to work again is shake my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] doubleluckstur:
Your lucky yours even works.. Opened mine today for Xmas to find it completely broken, no vibration function at all. Sending it back tomorrow :(
[Nexus 4 General] Taxiback:
Come on people, it's an LG what do you expect?

Personally I wouldn't buy any other product made by them, they're not exactly known for making reliable products.

I thought I would give this one a try as I don't like the hardware home button on my S3, mine arrived on 18th December and so far I have none of the problems reported, so it's worked flawlessly for a week longer than I expected. :)
[Nexus 4 General] w0dash:
Beside a little noise in my earpiece and the phone getting warm quickly, I am quite happy with my Nexus. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
My earpiece buzzes slightly and I have a slight rattle but it doesn't bother me, overall it's a great phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Blunnt:
mine has only the earpiece noise and that only started after i first inserted the headphones ....weird
[Nexus 4 General] Harv.!:
Recieved my 16gb Nexus 4 on the 19th Dec, didn't even get to turn it on as it was damaged.

The rear sparkly layer had come away under the glass in one corner, it had turned white, the glass itself wasn't damged just a layer under it.

After all the frustration of trying to buy this phone since Nov. I've given up on Google...got an RMA pdf a few days later, but as of today I've still not received any shipping labels.

I've asked for a full refund and can't wait to get rid of the thing...either LG's quality control is pretty pathetic or they and Google are sending out defective phones just to meet shipping deadlines to avoid delivery refunds.
[Nexus 4 General] Post_Modern_Human:
I received a 16gb Nexus 4 for Christmas, today I noticed two dark spots on the front bevel of my phone, on the thin part between the edge of the phone and the screen. Around 3cm on each side, just above the middle of the phone. My screen is fine, this is only on the phone housing. Not sure if it's glue, air, or something in the plastic. It's not really visible at a glance but I see it, and it bugs me, especially since my wife paid $800 NZ for it. I haven't seen any other people complain about this issue. I'm debating exchanging it or not - hopefully the 2degrees shop my wife bought it from will exchange if I decide to do so.

My only other issue us how hot this phone gets, and battery life doesn't seem amazing but to be fair I haven't been using it "normally" just yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Harv.!:
Finally TNT turned up today with a returns envelope, including over the top complicated instructions from Google and TNT on how to send the phone back...just trying to write the information on the plastic bag/envelope they send is difficult to do.

Now all I have to do is waste another day waiting for TNT to pick up the package, not sure how long after that I'll recieve my full refund, don't know if they just refund the cost of the phone or they include the delivery charge ? Anyways, I'll be happier when it's all over.
[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
I have a very minute crackle in the earpiece, can only be heard if I listen very carefully right next to my ear in a quiet room, so it doesn't bother me.

Also I have a rattle, didn't notice it until I tried shaking my phone to see if I had it, so again, doesn't bother me.

The volume rocker is a bit creaky, again, I'm ok with it.

Loving my Nexus 4 right now, even if I have only had it for 8 hours!
[Nexus 4 General] aguillen89:
Restarting

My N4 that I got in November (2nd batch) just resets out of no where. The last time it did it, I had opened up Google Now. Cleared all my cards and then I pulled down my notifications bar, and it reset! My nexus 7 does this some time too, so I'm hoping it's just a software thing and not a hardware thing. I don't see myself returning it for any reason though.:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Drzfr3shboialex:
Received mine today so far no defects(knocks on wood).
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
My phone is perfect
[Nexus 4 General] blendobass:
Google started as a search engine and then went into the buisness of selling that personal information to others for profit. I don't get it, they are just a big search engine that has scooped up every idea they could from webmail to calling and undercut people. They read your email and try to serve ads for a living... lol.

Apple stared out trying to make computers and started to make high quality computers for designers and artists and the such, I never got why some people were so mad was it their "were different" campain or the fact 9 out of 10 Djs, Musicians, film makers use a mac ?

Of course apple makes a higher quality product, they make one product, and well, but you choose android for what ? Cheapness, like me, and because I can't afford an iphone new.
[Nexus 4 General] chingoo04:
my...

Okay.. so I got my nexus 4 was lucky enough to get one from the first batches.. but guess what guys... this is my 3rd replacement which is total of 4 nexus 4. First one hissing and cracking noise from the speaker which a lot of people had. 2nd replacement google wallet problem which I heard it was something to do with nfc secure element. Finally got 3rd one and... had same issue as the first one... so I just sent my phone again to be replaced... for the 4th time.. It really sucks.. nexus 4 should be called nesucks... never had this problem using galaxy nexus.. well I give up on nexus 4 and got a note. Going to wait for nexus 5 hopefully google goes back to samsung... for the nexus 5.
[Nexus 4 General] I2IEAILiiTY:
Just got mine yesterday and it's perfect to my knowledge.

Hoping I don't have any problems mentioned around the internet since release
[Nexus 4 General] daugirdas:
Mine seems to struggle with 3g signal indoors even more than HTC Desire (which I thought was not a very good phone). Wifi signal is also somewhat weaker than desire and is significantly worse than mac mini. Battery life is nothing to jump about either

So it seems I got quite a downgrade if we ignore a nice screen. I know it's cheap-ish, but that shouldn't mean the phone bit can be unreliable.

My next phone might as well be iphone 5s/6 given that google started to lock down android bit by bit.

I have rattle (don't care) slight buzz (don't care) and somehow I have dust inside the front camera (don't care too much)

Mine has a screen issue, whenever I turn the brightness all the way down the screen turns off. It doesn't matter what ROM I use. I did a RMA
[Nexus 4 General] badboy47:
i been using it for a week now. so far no problems.

---------- Post added at 05:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 AM ----------

its funny that's the first thing i hear from Apple users. I dont think that is the main point of why people choose Android over Apple. Phones like S3, Note 2 costs around same price as the iPhone 5. Quality has improved a lot with Android. Look back in time to Android and Apple phones, you will see which one has improved a lot.
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Wow, I know this is a defect thread but it's particularly troll-filled, even by XDA standards.
[Nexus 4 General] D4rk50ul:
I would rather not have a phone that runs an OS that remind me of windows 3.1. My devices have been great and if you think iPhone don't have issues you aren't in contact with people who have to repair them on the daily. The rigs people use for film aren't even in the same ballpark as consumer electronics from apple. Fanboy elsewhere your all mighty OS was ripped off from an open source distro.

Back on topic got 2 devices recently both have zero issues. Tested everything just to make sure.
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Shhh. Don't mention BSD. Or Xerox PARC. Or magnetically secured power connections. Or pull-down notifications. Or swipe-to-unlock. Or rectangles with rounded corners. Or any number of other innovations Apple has benefited from as key features and in many cases hold patents on (in the US, at least, lol) on yet most definitely didn't innovate, else you'll bring the iTrolls back...
[Nexus 4 General] chronos2111:
I'm planning to order one from the US, I', in Hungary actually and I'm a bit worried about the warranty and the defects. It seems this topic calmed down and I hope it means the problems got rare.
[Nexus 4 General] justin11141:
i have a 302k rev11, earpiece buzzing is so annoying..hopefully i get a good one this time
[Nexus 4 General] masterchung89:
Usually only people that have defects complain, so the problem appears more inflated than it actually is.
[Nexus 4 General] Altadroid:
I guess you could call this a defect of sorts.

The N4 that I purchased from a local retailer a couple of weeks the MAC address was constantly changing anytime the phone was rebooted/restarted.

I never expected to have a device do that, but it did. Of course that led to some wifi connection issues and I even wondered about my 3 year old router being the issue.....it took my brain a bit to kick in and think if a changing MAC address was even a possibility.

So when I discovered that was going on it was a no brainer to exchange it. I did however phone Google support to confirm that such a thing could not be "standard".
[Nexus 4 General] ramkumar2000:
I have a black strip inside the LED Flash...it does not interfere in any functioning..just a cosmetic glitch..:( any idea what i can do..?
[Nexus 4 General] TheCIScommander:
only minor, rarer defects

No yellow tint! No buzzing earpiece! No speaker issues! No camera issues! No touch screen issues! Only issues are that the right side of the screen is a bit odd, in that if I leave the screen off for a while there and then turn it on a greyish band will appear, almost like backlight bleed, but it goes away. and the very edge is a smidge dimmer when displaying grey. Speaking of backlight bleed, there's a tiny, TINY bit on the top, but it doesn't really bother me. What DID bother me however was how creaky it was. Thankfully I mostly fixed it by taking off the back panel, flexing the black plastic inwards, and putting it back on. There's a really tiny bit left, but it's mostly gone.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] benhiggs:
I was looking to install the jellycream rom after waiting a long time. I got this phone as soon as it was released, and upgraded from my more up to date (rom wise) lg optimus.

Now this may seem nooby, but since i last did it i cannot figure it out again. How do i flash the custom rom, as i have the rom, patches and 2 different kernels on my sd card and keep getting the same error when trying to flash.

I get a signature verification failiure error

i cannot figure out how to fix it as ive tried various methods

thanks for any replies, it would be very helpful

Anyone know of a release date for the charging orb at all?

Or is it going to be hit & miss like the phone and bumper again?

Going to be interesting to see what happens since the phone has already been released and this is a major selling point in my opinion.

Just another gadget for us to look forward to honestly.

After unplugging headphones system still thinks that they are connected.

There is no sound in main speakers and if you connect headphones again you can hear sound.

All the time you can see headphone icon in right-down corner.

I tried to reboot, didn't help, same with hard reset. I didn't try factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rassnik:
Hi,

i managed to get my standby drain on unrooted stock 4.2 to 0,5% (WIFI) to 0,8% (HSDPA) per hour with disabling some stuff that i dont ever need.

Market notifications

Latitude

Google apps like Currents, Play movies, Play books etc...

This is great, but sometimes after usage it still felt like the battery keeps draining as the phone is in use with the screen turned on.

What now happenend is really weird:

I did set a custom reference in BetterBatterySats and left the phone on the table for 1 hour. No unneccessary apps running in the background. But it drained 7% in this hour. As you can see in the screenshots, the device was in Deep Sleep most of the time and there are no noticeable Partial Wakelocks.

But how the heck is it possible that i lost 7% in one hour while deep sleeping? Is there any sort of app that can tell me in this particular case what went wrong?

Any info is highly appreciated.

Best,

ras
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
k9 mail seems to be one of the culprits
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rassnik:
nope. it polls 2 accounts every hour anf therefore uses cpu time of approx. 0,4%. thats even even the case in that "awesome battery life" area seen on the last screengrab. a total of 15 sec. cpu time can't hurt that much.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] linh1987:
This may sound silly but did you try just to restart the phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rassnik:
im pretty sure that this would fix it.

but because this happens from time to time (though this is the first time i can document it because auf BBS) i want to know whats the cause of this. it is pretty annoying to leave a phone on the desk and to find it drained empty a few hours later. this would have happened if didn't pick it up after one hour.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fellowhoodlum:
I get a similar problem too. Only way to clear it is a power down and restart.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VuDuCuRSe:
Well, first of all, can we really be sure that those 7% aren't within the battery measurement margin of error?

Considering of course stuff like temperature, sensor's reading delay and other electrical/chemical/whatever stuff the battery may go through after heavy draining like you show in the graph?

I really don't think that % stats are that accurate, but that might just be me.

Some guy disassembled his Nexus S and measured the energy drain with accurate reading devices. Maybe someone should do the same on the Galaxy Nexus. :P Because if one software says there's no cause of drainage and another say there was some drain, maybe one should confirm which software should we rely the most.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rassnik:
maybe it happens because the voltage still gets down because of heavy use before. if this is the case the drain should stop at some point and the battery should not die completely.

i will def. keep an eye on this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Its the fundamental problem with android and our battery technology.

One of two things need to happen, Google needs to get their act together (think project butter but with battery) or the OEM's need to start providing better battery technology. Its ridiculous that over the past 3 years there have been NO significant battery technology improvements. Yes, processors are becoming more efficient and using less power, but that is only going to take us so far. **** needs to happen and Google needs to press it.

well,

some background first... in 2010 a MODU W got FCC approval but never released

http://www.ubergizmo.com/2010/08/modu-w-tiny-android-phone-visits-the-fcc/

http://www.engadget.com/2010/08/16/modu-w-a-k-a-t-phone-scores-fcc-approval/

after i got my hands on a MODU T (on the left) few weeks back for cheap i found a W model (on the right)... brand new, that i never knew was out in public running 1.6 ANDROID

slow, no phone, but a working small (tiny) android device even that its 1.6... still cool

but no google :( inside = no gmail and play
