[Nexus 4 General] NorySS:
So, The phone was delivered to LG on a thursday. It showed up in their system Friday afternoon.

It went through Diagnostics :eek::eek: til Tuesday. Tursday Night they emailed me, $153 repair. Paid it.

Today I ordered the official bumper, diztronics tpu case, & XO skin. Hopefully the phone will survive past a week. :p
[Nexus 4 General] ssnr:
Good to know how much it cost and everything thanks!

Try and be more careful this time :p
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
I left the front and back protectors on until I got my official screen protector and my TPU gel case to peel off the back protector. :D

Received everything including phone on Nov 19th and till this day no scratches nicks of drops! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Tony_YYZ:
lol @ people calling OP a liar. He already admitted the screen broke due to falling, why would he need to embellish his story? A cracked screen is a cracked screen.

OP, did the phone bounce when it hit the floor? The reason it continued to crack in your pocket was likely due to your body heat interacting with the glass causing the cracks to fracture more.

Also, lol @ all the armchair physicists.

Ouch:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] tengen:
This. Sucks that you got unlucky, but at least you're being an adult about it. Hope you get your phone back soon :)

Still waiting on my bumper...
[Nexus 4 General] FallN:
I kinda like the look...

LG should come out with a ”Cracked Back Special Edition”. Like candy glass with that allover broken pattern. :D

Would look cool and save all these people from whining about the back cracking, lol. :D

This gave me the chills I installed a screen protector on the back from XtremeGuard now it's no longer slippery ;D
[Nexus 4 General] NICEGYPT:
I will think now of not getting it. I love Nexus but this device seems a failure. LG and $349. Companies are not slow.
[Nexus 4 General] JPOKeefe:
Not buying it. No way a 3 foot drop did that.
[Nexus 4 General] mugabuga:
My phone fell out of my pocket as I was getting out of the car today, face down onto the pavement, put a huge chip in the top left metal bezel.
[Nexus 4 General] ChongoDroid:
First night of having mine and it slid 4 inches on a flat surface and fell in between my bed and the box spring.

Zero damage to screen or back thank god, but I've got a nice little ding about an inch below the power button :(

Looks like I'll be getting the bumper after all lol smh... Seriously BE CAREFUL I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!!

This device will move on flat surfaces...

not like slipping... like paranormal activity..

Mine cracked yesterday, I had the bumper on and it dropped from my pocket, I don't know how it hit the floor but it shattered the all glass (useless bumper :( )...Phoned LG today and they said that they are gonna send some paperwork at home on Monday...So sad :(

BTW I live in UK and they couldn't tell me how much it was for the repair..
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Someone in the US got it fixed for $140 and it took 14 days. Hopefully it will only be about £100 here.
[Nexus 4 General] neotekz:
this is good news, 140 is pretty reasonable. Samsung was charging close to 300 to replace the screen on the gnex.
[Nexus 4 General] adulel08:
Wow the bumper not working? Smh
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Dropped from your pocket? How does that happen?
[Nexus 4 General] fabis_htc:
I dropped it while I was taking it out from the pocket...and it wasn't even a hard floor, was like a vinyl floor, the one used in the gyms...
[Nexus 4 General] Cor-master:
Forget the glass part problem is all phones these days are designed for looks and not for practicality. Too thin, too slick. My vivid has no glass on the back but it has an aluminum battery cover surrounded by a high gloss slippery black plastic. It looks great but it's also slick as hell. This is why I prefer the rubberized plastic backs like on the DROID DNA and one x+

Anyway I always got a diztronic tpu case waiting for it whenever it gets here. Wanted something that would show off the good looks of the glass but also kill the slickness, it's smoked clear so it should do just that. Gotta the smoked one as those cases tend to turn yellow over time, figured the darker color would help cover that up
[Nexus 4 General] Desperado24:
Always use protection ;)
[Nexus 4 General] TwinkyOfHope:
OH LAWD. I was just reading through this thread on my PC and had my phone on the charger. I got up to go to the bathroom and my foot got caught on the cable. It was about a 3 foot drop to a hardwood floor. Luckily the only damage was to my Best Skin Ever corner skin and a small knick in the chrome bezel.

I was so scared :(
[Nexus 4 General] blendobass:
this will go down as the crappiest phone ever made, you wil lsee.

---------- Post added at 06:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

LOL< look on google for cracked glass Nexus 4, these are as fragile as a china doll.

everyones will be broken sooner or later, they as cheaply made as possible, thus the price.

The best part is you can break it yourself, just a 3 foot drop, must be unluck, must be more carefull, must get a better case.... lol.

Good luck guys, you will be buying the Nexus 5 before next year at this time.

They are designed poorly for daily use, but for an uncaring customer base that has never seen a quality product in their lifes, this is ok.

You are used to buying disposable junk, you throw everything away you use, you only expect things to last a little while.

Everything you own is made to break in as quickly as possible so you buy a new one,

Why sell you one phone every few years, when they can sell you a few a year for the rest of your life ?
[Nexus 4 General] chenthechen:
Lol you are the biggest sook I have ever seen on XDA. No one cares about your hate for the phone. It's simple, don't drop your phone and this isn't just for Nexus 4 it is for every phone. They aren't made to drop so no s**t they'll probably crack/break. Get a case and be careful, treat it like your baby. Also yeah it may be a little less durable, hence the price.
[Nexus 4 General] blendobass:
mobile phones could easily be made unbreakable in daily activities, as well as upgradeable (user replaceable battery, memory, cpu, ram) but why when you nobody would imagine this things anymore.

Houses used to be made to last 200 - 400 years, then are now looking at 80 years as a good house, one average lifetime, check the landfill.

Its like trying to explain to the walmart why you think a coffee maker should last over 1 year and they will tell you straight up you will have go elsewhere.

It is the same with these phones,

I don't care about your money or compaines like this except the is a toxic mess of trash that is leaking in all our waters and lands, we are a wasteful stupid people trashing our planet and nobody notices.

You ever thought of where these pieces of junk end up ? most idiots throw them in their regular trash, or send them away to some 3rd world country where they are taken apart by in some cases small children for a few parts, and the burned and they end up in the atmosphere.

Hispster geeks are the end of the world for humans and all animals, and every upgrade will last less and less long.

Don't drop your phone, don't forget it is in your pocket when your hot wife jumps on your lap, don't forget it is in your coat, don't forget to warn your friends to be super careful, don't dance to hard with this in your pocket.

this is silly, they have always designed moblile phones to be tough, it's is fairly recent after apple showed that nobody cares anymore, nobody complains or they are an outcast, and everyone can be throwing away a device that they figure is dead because the battery doesn't work.

Its all bull, they don't like it when things last long, they don't like a battery than can be user replaces, they don't like somethign you can upgrade.

it really is the truth, they could easily make a phone that can survive drops and would be good for at least 3 years, but they wouldn't make as much money.

It is made to break easily like most stuff you own, it doesn't cost much less to build something that won't break, but you won't buy another, so in a way they sell this thinking you will replace a screen or two before you get a n5, or iphone 6

$359

+ $150 screen replacement x 2

if device is babies and doesn't break then the user will get sick of short battery and throw away in 3 years max.

$659

start over.

That is why I think blackberry is going to come back, their phones are unbreakable in daily use (daily use includes dropping, it is a mobile phone, they get dropped by eberyone regular, its normal, everyone drops them

The same thing just happened to me. Wooden desk and wooden floor. Fortunately both glass panels survived. Damn glass is too smooth.

[Nexus 4 General] neotekz:
why do you care so much what phone other people use? Use whatever phone makes you happy and go troll somewhere else.
[Nexus 4 General] NoLunchBox_:
Its like a trade of dude. What would you rather have, a sexy slim phone or a fat brick that won't break? Have you seen then most blackberries? Why don't you think they break? Because they're fat, ugly and made of durable plastic.

Take it like this: a F1 car is ridiculously fast right? They have like 1500 horse power but when they crash, they break into a million pieces. Now take a F150 for example or the new Toyota Tundras, if they crash, they'll get damaged, but not as enough as an F1 car.

Now if you were a race car driver, and you wanted to win, you would get the F1 car. If you were a grandfather and was worried about safety and the car not breaking, you would get the F150 or Toyota.

Same with phones. There are still blackberries or other durable phones out there. If you obviously chose the N4, then you're not looking for durability. You're looking for a nice, sleek, sexy, fast phone.

And I've been a phone enthusiast ever since the G1. I've only had one phone's screen break and I've had over 30 phones. It just depends how you take care of them.

Bob: Oh Hey There dude, Whats up?

John: Nothing much, feeling really bored.

Bob: Cool,did you crack your Nexus 4 yet?

John: Yeah, (shakes head like its no big deal)

Waiting for my phone in the mail. I have second thoughts about even using it, I am probably gonna cover my entire floor with thick bubble wrap and not ever leave the house WITH my Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
These broken glass crying threads are really a waste of cyberspace. Of you cannot take care of a glass phone than buy something else. I just don't see what is so hard about this. I bought my case for .47 and I only use it when I am going out or doing something that I think may be rough. Normally my phone is case free with a transparent shield on the back just in case.. So far there is not a scratch on it..

Trolls that only past how much they hate this phone would be paying in the forum about the device they like.. Not posting here unless you have something worthwhile to say.

BTW-I love this phone and it is by far the best I have ever used and I still cannot believe I was one of the lucky ones that got it. There are many out there wanting it.

[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
I just don't drop my phone.

And with a protector or case your are protecting something that you can't see/feel, so what's the point? Resale value? The only reason I *might* buy a case is to protect the screen. If it breaks and I lose touch functionality, that sucks. But a case that protects the back seems weird to me because if you use one, you can't even see the back. The same goes for a screen/back protector. You are protecting your device from getting scratches, but the protector itself will still get scratches. Which you will feel and see. And yes, you can remove the protector, but then you are at risk of getting scratches on the actual screen/back.

I use a pouch so that I can throw it into my backpack/pockets with keys and coins without getting scratches all over the place. At the same time I can use my perfectly clean device without scratches or stupid screen protectors/cases which ruin the amazing look and feel of the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Fataldesain:
Nexus 4 is the most fragile phone I have ever seen and there is no f'ing way this shat is gorilla glass 2 or any version. I'm sorry but Google dropped the ball what's the point of a 300 dollar phone no one can buy that breaks on first drop. And I'm not a fan of the LCD screen
[Nexus 4 General] Googa:
You don't wanna know how many times I dropped my HTC Sensation. THAT is a durable phone that was fast in its day and feels great in the hand. I sold it to a buddy in great working condition when I received my N4.

The Nexus looks beautiful, but for how long? I bought one in the first wave and I truly love the phone, but I think it's ridiculous that we need to be extremely careful not to break something that we carry with us 24/7. I don't know about you geeks, but I don't really need to worry about breaking a device that should be my 911 lifeline if something goes wrong.

I'm an active individual. I bike in nyc traffic, I mountain bike, I backcountry ski, I climb mountains.

What if I get into a car accident and the phone breaks so I can't call for help?

What if I get into a mountain bike crash and I can't call for help?

Is the primary function of a mobile phone to sit around on a desk and look pretty, or is it to GET WORK DONE and MAKE CALLS FROM ANYWHERE?
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Wow man for an 'active individual' with a seemingly exciting life, you're way too angry over a mobile phone. Get a more durable phone and slap an otterbox on it. Then you can bike and ski all you want without any worries. I think before you spent your $350 on the phone you knew 90% of it's exterior was glass, so I don't know what you were expecting.

[Nexus 4 General] AdamUpNorth:
OMG. You just made me snort out loud at work. You get a Thanks for that.
[Nexus 4 General] Googa:
I wish Otterbox made a case for the Nexus 4.

When I bought the N4, nobody knew exactly how easy it was to crack one of these things.

Like I said though, I love the phone and haven't broken mine... yet. I'm a developer, so I don't want a huge slow phone either (clearly, because I'm here). Is it too much to ask for a company to make a brand new phone that looks great and has top-of-the-line performance but doesn't split when the going gets tough? Why do we have to sacrifice longevity for performance? And why do all you folks have to get all angry when some of us ask more of a manufacturer? Do all you guys work for LG and Google, or are you consumers and developers like myself who should want the best bang for their collective bucks?

Don't hate, I'm just decrying the trend towards turning the phone into a fragile instrument. I expect more quality, and would gladly pay handsomely for it.
[Nexus 4 General] Androyed:
The thing is, we don't have to sacrifice longevity for performance, but we do have to sacrifice it for beauty. We have to sacrifice it for portability. You want a thin smartphone? A smartphone that fits nicely in your hands?

You could have known about all these 'problems'. It's not like you bought it to notice that, "huh?", it is made from glass, has no SD card, and the battery life sucks!

I've yet to see a smartphone that you can truly drop on the ground without getting damage. Sure, there are more durable materials than glass, but I wouldn't drop a smartphone whatever material it's made of.

I've had my phone for a week. Haven't dropped it once.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I've had my phone since Thanksgiving. I work in a refinery and have dropped my phone between work home and the play at least 10 good times. You can't just avoid falls sometimes 2 times was I actually worried. Not a scratch or scuff on my phone she's pristine. I keep a case on my phone while at work why risk it? I also have a note 2 leather pull tab pouch and multiple other pouches and holsters. I could give a crap about resale value im never selling my phone. The point of screen protectors is cause yes u can change them out as they get scratches when you don't use one if u get a scratch and lil hairline scratches well now u are stuck with them. For me I can pull Em off and start all over how often I want. I look at cases not as making my phone ugly but the opposite sometimes I want a bumper sometimes a case and sometimes naked and I can change it up. But to each their own ya know my BSE screen protectors feel great to me. This is gorilla glass 2 also corning would sue the crap out of Google and LG if they lied. The key is the word glass it's still glass and it will still break and scratch. Its scratch resistant and from what I here its a coating that may cause the scratching but I'm not willing to find out for my own eyes. Just my 2 cents Amazing screen by the way just needs to be calibrated :thumbup: Just glanced at my my coworkers GS3 screen and yuck looks like a cartoon this screen look so clean and life-like which is what I'm going for but again to each their own.

[Nook Color General] West@:
Recently acquired certified pre-owned Nook Color, but there is a issue: at any level of the battery charging, the green light is lit on the cord, although it should be orange if the battery is not fully charged. While charging is normal (~ 3 hours 15-100%). In what could be the problem? Very uncomfortable, because is not visible when the device is fully charged.

Previously, I had another NC, which worked fine.

Maybe someone else had this problem? How to solve it? Really need help.

Thanks in advance.
[Nook Color General] DizzyDen:
Is this with stock B&N ROM? If not stock, which ROM are you using... some, myself included, have seen carging issues with certain configurations, although I cannot say specifically that my configuration is not causing the issue I see,
[Nook Color General] hwong96:
In normal charging operation the light is orange until fully charged then turns green. In CM7 the led would turn green and stay green all the time when Host mode (otg) is activated using Nook Tweaks even when charging. In CM9/10 host mode is activated by default. Root hub is present and host mode is active but the encore otg module is not installed, thus we don't have USB otg yet. So, in a nutshell, having the green led on all the time doesn't indicate anything wrong with the charger/cable. I just charge it overnight or plug it in when it gets to 15 percent when the warning sounds the low battery alarm and unplug it when the lock screen indicated 100% charged.

Edit: If CM10 host mode is not activated by default the setting is a remnant of CM7 Nook Tweaks host mode setting.

Update: Tested the charger/cable from my other Nook with CM7 - light is orange when charging, green when fully charge on CM7. Tested same charger/cable on Nook with CM10- light stays green during charging.

Update 12/28/12: Had to get a new charging cable today $14.95 plus tax. The micro pins bent and broke when nook fell off table while charging.

The new cable now shows orange when charging. So issue may well be a bad cable after all. New cable shows green when fully charged.
[Nook Color General] hikersc:
I had the same problem with my Nook Color and it turned out being the cable. If you have noticed, the configuration of the micro USB connector is different than what you see with say a Motorola Droid. This makes the cable a little more difficult to get plugged in and can cause some damage to the pin arrangement if forced. I called B&N and complained and they sent me a new cable free of charge. I keep the old cable as a spare as it works well other than the indicator.

As a side note, I have used various versions including stock, rooted stock, CM7, and CM10 and the problem appeared to be independent of the ROM being used.
[Nook Color General] lkmiller:
I just got a new cable and the indicator stays orange when fully charged. My old cable still works fine (orange while charging, green when charged), but the plastic at the micro-USB end is splitting apart. I have a piece of clear tape holding it together. :P

I guess as long as they keep actually charging the device, I can't complain too much.

ETA: On stock rom you can still see if it's charged by unlocking and tapping the lower right corner where the battery icon is. The Quick Settings pop up and show % charged.
