Good point...I'm just worried about the glass backing that seems to be drawing a lot of controversy due to breakage.

The monthly fee for my insurance is covered through work, so I only have to pay the deductible, which means I don't have to worry about 2 years (or whatever) of the monthly fees adding up on top of the deductible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotorcycleKopp:
I use Square Trade and very highly recommend them. I had a claim with them on my Nexus S and it was great. No deductible, super fast service, great communication. I get Square Trade warranties on all the electronics I buy now. Well worth it for sure.

The insurance you get through T-Mobile and all the other wireless carriers suck BIG TIME. They've sent me back refurbished phones multiple times, and have even lost another one in the mail somewhere. And on top of that, they've cancelled my insurance through them because THEY lost my phone. After two bad experiences with them, I started looking elsewhere -and that's how I found Square Trade.

Only thing about Square Trade is that they don't cover theft or lost and stolen phones. But I'd still recommend them to anyone for sure!

First, *lose

Second, that's insurance fraud and that's illegal and just plain wrong.

If you claim you lost the phone, T-Mobile will lock it and it will become a door stop.

Dude I'm in the same exact situation from a one s too I'm pretty sure our handset protection will cover it cause even in their website it shows me having a nexus 4 and the premium protection next to it and I went to a tmobile store and they popped in a atnt Sim card and it authorized it so tmobiles devices are unlocked and the same as the play store ones so it should be all cool
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
This is true. Assurion tried to charge me $150 to replace my Nexus One when I broke the screen. This was on top of the $6/month I had been paying them for insurance for the previous 8 months. So the total cost of replacement through Assurion came to $198. At that point I decided to call Google and they told me they would replace the phone for $140+shipping.

Naturally, I decided to go straight through Google for the replacement. The next day I called T-Mobile retention and raised hell about the situation, telling them that Assurion was a huge rip-off and that I wanted to cancel the insurance and have the previous 6 months of insurance payments to be credited back to my account. The representative was very helpful. She removed the insurance and credited the past 6 months of insurance payments to my account.

That experience taught me to avoid insurance for my Nexus devices. If you look around there are a couple of threads of people who have already broken their Nexus 4's and Google charged them $160 for a replacement. So I've decided just to put an extra $160 away (profit from selling the SIII) and if the phone breaks then I'm going straight to Google.

I'm replacing my n4 thru Asurion and i bought this one on clist brand new.

And the seller brought it from the play store.

My phone fell and my back screen has a bad crack... They're charging me 130$ but its on back order

Oh yea and I'm on T-Mobile
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FatalityBoyZahy:
What about defects? Then it's only a $5.00 deductible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xSunny:
Got my claim through to asurion today because unless i scream into my call mic or put it on speaker others can not hear me outgoing or incoming.. Bought from play store.. They said hopefully by tomorrow since t-mobile did have stock recently i should receive a call to verify address and get my phone next day aired to me

If you have a Wells Fargo credit card, setting up an automatic payment will insure your phone up to $600 with a $25 deductible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaestreetss:
Any news?

I put mine in last Saturday I've been calling everyday and nothing.

T-Mobile had some and so did Google play... There's stores in my area with the phone in stock.... But Asurion doesn't have them??:confused:

They tell me that they get restocks every two to three days....but i call every day... I even told them to send me a s3 or a note 2(so I can trade for a n4) and they said no....i wish they'd hurry up

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] candyeve:
Hey everyone

Just a little confusion as I am trying to register my nexus with Walmart warranty service

They are asking for a serial number and a model number

Is the serial number the number that starts with c90 or is it the number found on the settings, status, and then serial number?

Also what is the model number and where on earth can I find it?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
A model number is the same for all devices of a particular product line. For instance, all Nexus 7 models would have the same model # that identifies them as nexus 7 models. A serial number is specific to just one device only. It may have similar numbers or letters, but the last digits are often sequential and unique. No two device should ever have the same serial number just like no two mobile phones ever have the same IMEI. A serial number not only identifies a specific device and can be used to identify the owner when registered, it can also identify the time, date, batch, revision history and location of manufacture, things that can be very important in the event of a recall or defective product. My N7 has a sticker on the back bottom with the serial # on it. It should also be on the original packaging.
[General Questions and Answers] oldyoungguy:
If not, what else is done under the covers?

Also, what are the differences when installing applications

•From the android market

•sideloaded from web download

•sideloaded using adb install

•sideloaded using adb push

I copied this question from another place (I cannot put link here because I am new here) because I also have the same question and want to know more about this.
[General Questions and Answers] BoriKing:
Some .Apk's can be placed in system/data/app while others can't , make sure the .apk you're trying to place in system/data/app is supported or you may end up restoring your device. if the apk can run from the system /data/app then yes with the right permissions ...

Apk's from the market will give you detailed info from the apk like permission needed , supported devices ect, even the developers contact info ( in other word they are approved by Google.

while "sideloaded" apk or web apk (not coming from Google) are pirates apk,modified apk ect. who knows what permissions it needs or what info you are sharing with whoever modified the apk...

So be careful what you get into your device and where is placed on your device
[General Questions and Answers] rootedVette:
Simply placing the apk into the correct folder is not enough. You will also need to set the permissions to the same as the other apps in that folder (I can't remember the permissions off the top of my head). This can easily be done using Root explorer, or using an adb shell and the chmod command.

Play Store installs and sideloaded installs achieve the same result, however you will want to be careful where you download apk files from. Apps from the Play Store are less likely to be malicious in nature, and , of course, you should never be pirating paid apps.

Adb push would not be enough as you would still need to set permissions. Unless you are installing a system app, it is better just to use adb install.
[General Questions and Answers] oldyoungguy:
Are you saying the "adb push" will only copy file into the target location but "adb install" will copy the file into the target location AND also set the proper permission for you?
[General Questions and Answers] mcavoya:
With all of the usual warnings about the source/safety of "side-loaded" apps aside. . .

I simply put the .apk file onto the SD card (anywhere), and then use a file manager like Astro to "open" it (root access not required). You will be prompted to see if you really wanted to install the app. Then let Android do its thing. The app will be installed where it belongs, with all the permissions it needs.

For this to work, you must first tell the device to allow installation of apps from unknown sources. Go to Settings | Security, and check Unknown Sources.

I looked at every forum I could find and almost gave up rooting my KFHD 7", I happened to read on the computer screen that Qemuroot was "opening port 5037" or something very similar and finally remembered the KFHD port was on 3276 or similar .

Why do they not mention ANYWHERE that you have to change to the port Qemuroot uses?

So did anybody get a system update msg after rooting and flashing CWM?

I didn't even know this was possible to get OTA updates after putting CWM on..?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkRyoushii:
people may get the messages they will also be able to download it but when it comes to installing, it will fail with custom recovery and it will remove root if you have stock recovery but root.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE_KINGDOM:
I managed to install it with CWM, it linked me right into CWM and asked me if I want to keep root etc.. I think CWM may have updated a few things.. Because it was fully possible.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaestreetss:
So what update is this??
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BraydenJames:
After reading this I went ahead and attempted the system update on my stock/rooted ROM with CWM.. And you're totally right. Flashed. Fixed recovery so it didn't replace stock, and fixed root so it stayed. Totally awesome. Never heard of this before.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmyz:
How is this possible? Did u use the OTA update?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
what you meant fixed recovery and fixed root.

You fix it manually after OTA, or the CWM recovery is still there after the update?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
OTA updates have been flashable with custom recoveries on a nexus for a long time. I only say long because I cant remember for sure back in the n1 days. But this nothing new.

FYI. Ota will flash just fine with root. With a custom recovery. With a unlocked bootloader. They will not relock your bootloader.

Then booting into CWM and installing it from sdcard.

When you reboot CWM will ask you if you want to keep CWM and also root, hit 'yes' on both. Seems to have worked great and I now have Photo Sphere!

Thanks for ur posts mates, was worried of loosing root and cwm right after I got it :)

But CWM updated perfectly!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickyBO89:
I have the same problem you had, the phone wasn't rebooting in recovery. I've tried another way! since I bought my phone today, the first thing I did was rooting it and installing cwm recovery. my phone cames with jb 4.2 and was trying to updating to 4.2.2 but failing to reboot, so I performed a wipe and then he re-downloaded the whole package. the first time the ota updater said he couldn't verify the package, it continued repeating it a few times and then I received the notification to update. this time he managed to reboot the phone and cwm rec started, but it said it couldn't verify the package signature and labeled it as untrusted package... scared, I didn't installed it.

back to the ota screen, it was convinced I updated the phone so it was continuing to say it was updated. I deleted the data of google services framework and i had again the invitation to update to 4.2.2. the package was downloaded and verified at the first try and I tapped install.

then again, cwm said the package was untrusted... is that normal?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmkozak:
Have heard a lot of conflicting advice respecting Gorilla Glass. Is there any agreement on whether we should use a screen protector or not?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acuity:
There are several arguments in favor of using screen protectors as there are several things capable of scratching Gorilla Glass. Most notably sand. I get the feeling here that a lot of people plan on using some combination of either a screen protector on the front and back, or a screen protector on the front with some kind of TPU case.

I personally don't like screen protectors or cases. I don't like the way screen protectors make the phone feel, and cases generally make the phone too bulky for my liking. No less, I plan on going with one of the androidified cases by CruzerLite whenever they're released -- they're kind of like the case for people who hate cases. I'm willing to make this sacrifice to save myself from an indoor drop. In New Hampshire, all bets are off when you're outdoors.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbroon:
After a year my RAZR has a single hairline scratch that's only noticeable if you really look for it. Never had a screen protector on it.

That being said I have seen many people who got scratches and on gorilla glass seemingly easily.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I strongly advise a protector. The new tempered glass protectors are really nice but they aren't available for this phone yet. I was totally okay using gorilla glass 1 (original) without a protector. I used my Sensation naked for months and it never got a single scratch. Not even a nick. I sold it in perfect condition. My nexus already has a few microscratches in it though. I have seen galaxy SIIIs with scratches in them too. Gorilla glass II just sucks. It may still be resistant to cracking and shattering, but it seems to have virtually no scratch protection anymore. When I get my warranty replacement, I'm definitely putting a screen protector on.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
Gorilla Glass II is fine. Your phone is just being subjected to more fine particles.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatltael:
Is this actually true. Do many people think gorilla glass 1 is more scratch resistant than 2? Now I'm worried.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowrider262:
Depends on if u ever plan to resell your phone. That's the only reason I use screen protectors & cases, to retain resale value
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djkinetic:
I'm super OCD about my electronics as such all my phones and tabs have both screen protectors and cases.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MusicMan374:
I highly doubt this. My nexus has been subjected to the same if not better conditions as my sensation and already has scratches whereas my sensation was even dropped on concrete and not a scratch. A simple Google search will show most people find the original gorilla glass to be more scratch resistant. Samsung Galaxy s2 vs s3 is a prime example.

So I haven't got a chance to root yet, but i got juice defender on extreme profile and I got 10% battery left after 10 hrs and I haven't even used it that much. I remember before just using the free version I was getting more. I use wifi over mobile network when possible and I make sure wifi is off when leaving the house, but I was home all day. What is everyone else getting and any help? Here is a screen shot.View attachment 1517712 Obviously screen brightness is the most of it, but do you think thats accurate? I have it on auto? What should I put it on? How many hours are you guys getting with or without juice defender?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] flipq88:
I average around 12hours with 2.5 to 3 hours of screen on time. That's without any kind of battery saver. I have 4g on all day, auto sync on, full brightness on all day. Usually leave my house at 2 to work and when I get out at around 11 I have around 60 to 70%.

Sent from Flip's S3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
I get typically 3-4 hours of screen time, it seems like, but I'm not doing the most I could.

The total time really just depends on how long it was idle - I've gone over a day, but also used up battery much faster. I typically charge once a day, 16-ish hours from last charge.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
I am thinking that you have some other apps running in the background that are polling for notifications. I am also betting that you are not getting very much Deep Sleep due to wakelocks. The only way to really tell is to use Betterbatterystats from the market, but that is a root app, so no joy there.

Only thing that I can offer is the simple approach. Check your Auto-Sync -is it synching all the time, do you have Maps/GoogleNow running all the time, Locations/GPS, Manage Apps>FC apps that you are not using, maybe take a look at your JuiceDefender preferences (I have used JD+ for years and love it-Don't use JDExt though), Lots of downloads/surfing (see Browser is up there on your list),...

Really without Root, it would be hard to diagnose what is "really" eating your battery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheKid1:
Why not the extreme profile? Right now I have jd-ultimate and on extreme profile. No good? It basically has all my data off completely. Then I enabled the apps that I use in configuration. This then only allows data for these particular apps but only when I open these apps up for use. I appreciate the help and by no means second guessing you. I just dont understand why the jd plus not using extreme profile is better than jd ultimate using extreme profile. By the way I turned the brightness from auto to all the way down and it seems the battery is a lot better now, but I haven't used the phone as much as the other day so idk.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
No, no you are fine. I don't think you are 2nd guessing me at all. I just don't use Extreme because I use the Customize option myself. Plus I have JD+ and not JDUlt. If you want more about my set up, go to my battery guide and post#4. It has my specific settings and how JD really works.

Also, just because you are not actively "using" the app, doesn't mean that it isn't running. If you say set up Twitter to poll for notifications every 15mins, well, that is a User Preference which will take priority over JD's Preferences and will open up your radios, thus causing battery drain.

My main point above was that you need to look at your background processes and see what is running. I am betting that you have some things that are running that you are not aware of and which can be shut down (i.e. media scanner, picasa,...) Get Betterbaterystats from my guide or the market and it will tell you what is running/eating your battery and also what is causing wakelocks and preventing Deep Sleep.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pennycake:
Betterbatterystats is really worth it, I have the apk from here, but plan on buying it next pay cheque.

It will tell you where your battery power is really going. It can be a bit to figure out for a noob, but I just Google things I wasn't sure about.

I think that controlling things myself is the most effective thing to do since I know what I really need I can Erma of functionality and where I can compromise. :)
