Take a look at

[POLL] Who's actually happy with the N4

and you will realise the vast majority is actually happy (and thus had no magically selfappearing scratches from deadly ghosts and glass that is not glass on their phone).

Noone would open a thread stating "My Phone didn't scratch, even if i carry it in my pocket" and if they would, you'd have thousands. It's just delusionalists that can't stand the thought they might be responsible for it that cry out loud all over the forums.

If they are so sure why don't they just shut up and file a lawsuit for false advertising or try to get a RMA.

Goodbye and thank you for the fish.

Have not one scratch on my phone, nor dropped it once. Received my phone on the 19 of November. I have two TPU cases. Black and clear. Ordered the Bumper Case yesterday when it finally became available. Don't think I'm going to use it but I got it just in case ;)

Top three reasons to not wear skinny jeans:

1. Your phone will magically get scratched.

2. You'll get gnarly Moose Knuckle.

3. You'll look like a raging homo with zero fashion sense. (See photo below.)

Got some microscratches along the front as well. I wear mostly athletic wear such as sweats and shorts so I didn't expect anything in the pockets to scratch it. Same scratches as my old N1. Oh well, phone is so great that those scratches don't bother me as much. Hopefully a screen protector will cover them up somewhat

Been rocking mine naked for a week now, no case or screen protectors, and not a single scratch anywhere. I also don't put anything else in my pocket with it, and baby the **** out of it.
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
I'm that guy. (Yes that is scotch tape)

Actually my phone goes naked when I'm not working (it's survived many drops no issue (damn slick back)), but I'm a baker, so I wrap it in tape when I work to keep all the tiny particles from accumulating in the cracks, speaker grills, and from scratching the screen.

It looks like there had to have been some sand particles in your pocket for that to have happened. Sand or something similar to sand.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
It is simple, if the glass scratched, you scratched it.

Quit trying to blame Google and take responsibility.

In addition to my nex 4 have a crappy $100 android phone that most likely has the cheapest glass known to man. Guess what... Still no scratches.. It is my back up phone and I used it for months..

Phones do not just scratch alone.. Glass doesn't break alone..

Laughing my head off at all the skinny jeans comments!!

I live in the Bay Area and commute to SF..so i skinny jeans/colored skinny jeans :eek: on a daily bases...and yeah agreed...stop wearing skinny jeans, for every other man's sake.

I had the Gnexus before ordering and receiving my Nexus 4, and i straight dropped the Gnexus screen face down on the bathroom tile and not a single scratch, thank you ZAGG full shielding.

It costs at MOST - $34 for ZAGG full shield cover..

I've put my ZAGG on 3 days later for my Nexus 4. Still waiting on the sim card to arrive so i can turn it 'on' for the very first time.

On top of the ZAGG shields, I'll grab a Ringke slim case as well + phone charm thingie incase buttery hands come into play and the lanyard will be the 2nd attempt to save my phone from dropping.
[Nexus 4 General] cavanman:
I've had mine for 10 days now and the front has multiple scratches mostly around the edges. The rear now has one big scratch right over the camera lens opening. Unfortunately sand particles can't be avoided here in San Diego, the stuff is everywhere. Had I known that Gorilla Glass is this soft against sand scratches I would have got screen protectors. My old Nexus S fas fine for the first year I had it before I got any noticable scratches, and even then the scratches were more like scuff marks than the long thin scratches on my Nexus 4.

Anyway, I'm still within 15 days return so I called Google. They would not do a replacement but I would be allowed to return it for a 15% restocking fee. (approx $50). Instead I contacted Amex and am organizing a refund under their product purchase protection plan.

Sucks, for an otherwise awesome phone.
[Nexus 4 General] kioshi:
You remind me of the customers that shop at Walmart and Home Depot when i worked there...

Never blame themselves..always the company and...must get refund back~

What are you doing to the phone? My friend has had his for 2 weeks, doesnt believe in screen protectors or cases and his is fine. He rides in his orange Lotus and rides a motorcycle. No scratch or cracks..has his phone on his work cubicle doing programming...
[Nexus 4 General] FallN:
I'm at ONE MONTH OWNERSHIP, naked, and I don't have a single scratch, nick, dent, scuff or otherwise. My phone is in brand new, mint condition.

This phone is nowhere near as fragile as the clumsy, butterfingered whiners will have you believe.

[Nexus 4 General] cavanman:
Nothing special, most of the time it is in my pants or jacket pocket. Like I said this is a beach town and sand/grit is everywhere. This is normal usage IMO, I can only imagine what the phone would be like after a few more months, so I'm doing something about it while I still can. A few scratches after a year is no biggie in my book, and my old Nexus S was fine in that regard, but you really should see my phone, I just counted 15 long gash-like scratches on the front screen and the one long one over the camera eye on the back.

Not having any desire of becoming an expert in Gorilla glass, I expected the much touted GG on front and back to be pretty resilient. If GG is this easily scratched then the phone should come with a recommendation to use protectors. Unless somehow the glass on my unit is bad, I'm shocked with how easy it picks up scratches.
[Nexus 4 General] jjsoviet:
Can these hairline scratches be removed? I'm thinking of using jewelers rouge or some similar solution to hide the scratches at least. I also found this old thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/moto-droid/114659-gorilla-glass-does-scratch-but-i-know-how-repair.html

Will using the compound listed be effective for the N4? I hope someone daring enough to do this may chime in with good results.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
A good wet application screen protector should fill in those hairline scratches pretty good. I suggest http://www.bestskinsever.com

[Nexus 4 General] JD914:
Do you really expect Google or LG to fix something that doesn't meet warranty criteria or damaged by you? Be a little more careful next time.
[Nexus 4 General] cavanman:
Umm, yes, I do. How do you know this wasn't a bad batch of glass. How will Google/LG find out if people don't complain. Like I said, my Nexus S was scratch free for over a year in the exact same environment, and that was just plain glass. Perhaps the curved screen made a difference I don't know.. In the end when it did scratch the scratches were scuffs not long gouges like I have on my Nexus 4. I have a pair of Costco eyeglasses that I wear everywhere, have even dropped a few times. I clean them with my shirt sleeve or whatever cloth is handy. Zero scratches after 4 years.

I watched the gorilla glass promo video on youtube and came away thinking this is the ***t. Here's the link. Scratch test is at 2 mins and 7 seconds. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wT8xI4PEU8c

My now 10 day old Nexus 4 has over a dozen gouges on it.

The scratches were all on the front panel, zero on the back and I put that down to the coating the put on the front. I'm ok with the front scratches, while unsightly at a certain angle, don't really effect screen viewing. However yesterday I looked at the back to find a long 1inch plus gouge on the rear, right across the camera eye. That was it for me. In my book, if you make a phone that is 90% glass you better set the expectation for owners.

Many people have had zero issues, maybe they have good glass or live in a relatively sand free environment. I don't, and sand is in/on everything. It wasn't a problem for my NExus S with cheap Glass, or my cheap eyeglasses, but it is a problem for a $400 phone with "Gorilla" glass.

If the other user, like me, is unhappy with the product, of course we have a right to complain. The expectation of a strong scratch resilient phone was set by LG/Google, not by us. We bought into the hype only to find it is not the case, for damn sure I'm going to complain. That's how things get better. From LG/Googles perspective I'm sure they would rather a happy customer than a pissed off one, that's how business's survive/improve. A warning about the weakness of the glass to sand particles, on the factory applied plastic protectors would have been sufficient for me to immediately purchase/apply screen protectors. There was nothing so I used it without protectors, just like I used my old Nexus S.

Not to harp on the topic, but this is directly from Googles own page advertising the Nexus 4.

http://www.google.com/nexus/4/

Photos and videos come to life with stunning clarity and crisp, natural color on the vibrant 1280-by-768 4.7-inch display. Gently curved glass edges allow your finger to slide smoothly on and off the 320ppi screen, while cutting-edge G2 Touch Hybrid display technology means you feel like you’re touching every pixel. And all of this is protected by scratch resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass 2.

I've been googling around today about various posts to fix scrathes on gorilla glass.

Aside from the 3M solution mentioned above, I came across a post that linked to this product:

but I'm not sure if you have to use their resurfacing machine as listed on their main page.

I have a HTC Legend for about 2 years now. Keep it in my jeans pocket with no other object. No screen protector, no case. It doesn't have a single scratch on the screen. It does have a few very minor scratches on the aluminum back.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
The only thing that can scratch glass is something as hard or harder than glass. Bottom line is people are putting their stuff with/having in their pockets sand or similar. It's the only way.
[Nexus 4 General] cavanman:
I don't think anyone is disputing that. The problem as I see it is that this phone was highly touted as scratch resistant gorilla glass, yet it is more prone to scratches from sand than my old Nexus S with regular glass. If you live anywhere near a beach you are going to pick up sand grains from the wind, on your clothes, in your pockets, in your hair etc. Everywhere you lay your phone down there will be a chance of sand/grit being present. That's just the way it is.

I read countless posts from people dissing screen protectors, "they are not needed, this is Gorilla glass" etc. If the Nexus 4 glass is this prone to this type scratching (and there is not an issue with a bad batch of glass) then this should have been clarified/forewarned to buyers.

I dropped my n4 on day 2 cracking the front and back, digitizer broken as well so I sent it back to LG for repair. $153 is the cost of refurbishment, with 7-10 day turnaround, just fyi.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] engnajjar:
hello everybody

My Friend gave me his phone as mine "arc s" to root and install new rom

the rooting succeeded then I installed CWM using "SE Extreme Tweak Installer" and it worked well

then I flashed the kernel to "KTG anzu Kernel" and the flashing was OK ..... then I forwarded to install the rom

I intended to install "Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0" but when I chose "install zip from sdcard" it sent error "couldn't mount sdcard" !!!!!

so I flashed the next supported kernel "Advanced stock-4.1.B.0.587-boot_587" also the same error !!!!

Note : I'm using on my phone "Xperia Ultimate HD 2.0" but no errors happened with me like this at all

after that I re-flashed the phone with "Sony_officially_LT18_4.1.A.0.562_NCB.ftf" to recover the original kernel and re-install CWM using SE EXtreme

and installed the rom using it then I flash the supported kernel but the phone freezes after Sony logo

I don't know what happened and the wrong in my job !!!!!

the most thing caught the eye is this : why CWM installed using SE Extreme could mount the scdard normally but after flashing the kernel couldn't mount ???

may any one help me please :)

thanks

I don't think it actually use any extra battery due to the way the S-Pen works. The s-pen is detected above the screen whether or not you have air view on or off.

You can test it for yourself by holding the s-pen above the screen close enough for air view to work and clicking the nub on the pen in with your nail, it's all to do with electromagnetism as far as I know.
