[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asawoszc:
I've confirmed with a Google rep that RMA's are handled immediately as long as within the 15 days of receiving the original phone. This is a like-for-like swap situation.

EDIT: I've confirmed because I might need to RMA my phone myself due to extremely odd battery behaviours.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc496:
Yeah it's not a ROM issue. I restored it to stock last night and the problem is actually worse now than before. Usually it would only shut off/reboot a couple times a day but it's done it at least 10 times just TODAY since I've been awake (like 8 hours).

Thanks for the normal wear and tear answer. That's exactly what I was hoping to hear.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ntt1409:
placed a replacement on Dec 2. Nothing yet except confirmation email.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
Yes. Here is my timeline...

11/13 - Ordered N4

11/28 - Received N4 in the mail

11/29 - Ordered an RMA unit due to earpiece buzzing and a weird bulge in the side of the phone

11/30 - received tracking number for RMA unit

12/6 - received RMA unit in the mail

Some additional info...

1) The tracking number just had a yellow box that said " a printing label has been created..." from 11/30 - 12/5. On 12/6 the tracking number was finally updated and said "Out for delivery". It was delivered at 10AM on 12/6.

2) The RMA unit they send you is actually just a brand new, fully packaged N4 with all accessories. Which explains why they ask that you send the defective unit back with the original documentation and accessories.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rootuser11:
so hows your new one holding up? no more buzzing sound?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc496:
Here is my timeline for the sake of it:

-Ordered RMA unit night of 12/6 (around 11 PM)

-Shipping confirmation (with tracking) - 12/8 around 3 AM

-Delivery is supposed to happen on Monday - 12/10

All times CST (UTC -6)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killer0Kevin:
What would happen if you didn't ship the broken phone back to Google after receiving the replacement? Charged the full amount of a N4?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asawoszc:
The answer I received from the Play Store rep was YES. There is a hold for the full amount of the phone on your CC and if the RMA isn't received within 10 days you will be charged.

For those of you who's have a replacement RMA, are you in the U.S ? Did you have to send your unit back before they send out the new device ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkotoric:
wow thats fast my friend ordered rma around 5pm on 12/6 and nothing since

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asawoszc:
The new device is supposed to ship and upon receipt you send the defective unit back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sn0warmy:
It's perfect. I'm loving it.

They charge you the full amount of the phone ($349 for 16GB).

They send you the new phone first. When you receive the new phone you put the old phone/packaging back into the shipping box the RMA unit came in. Then you slap on the new shipping label they gave you and send it back.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CMNein:
You do have 3 weeks to return the old one to Google, so if anyone is waiting for an RMA you do have some time to figure out if the new one is worse. I'll give my new one a few days of punishment before I return the old to ensure I'm not worse off.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
They told me they have stock for replacement,

I called last Fri (NOV 30)

Still not getting any tracking today.

Call and ask them and they just say wait for it I should get that soon. Damn it is the same as during the first device came. Wtf
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyhamster73:
I've been waiting since 12/1 for my rma. I've spoken to mangers, written emails, I've done it all. Finally I flipped on a manager and he told me they are out of rma stock and that it could be 3-5 weeks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onishchuk4:
I called them yesterday because I have been waiting since the 8th for my 2nd replacement. The rep said that 2 week is probably whats its going to take. Another rep said early January. Either way their RMA stock has run dry. Hopefully LG has fixed the issues on the second batch thats coming.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
I called today for RMA and my case was pushed to a specialist whatever the **** that means hopefully I get an RMA I already got 1 replacement but that was due to terrible overheating and messed up screen colors. my first phone was never rooted. The buzzing noise on this replacement is so loud that I can even hear it while holding it in my hand and not up to my ear when sitting in an empty room
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mackster248:
AOKP is a cluster of codes. Try out stock ROM first before you RMA it to make sure it's the phone and not the ROM.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
Just placed my order for RMA and it says estimated shipping to be less than a week so the theory of RMA stock running out is probably true. Hopefully this means I'll be getting a device from the latest shipment and one free of any defects
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidFanboy7:
All you guys who're waiting for your RMA to be processed - have you been charged on your credit cards already? I'm talking about the pending charge, of course, which will be dropped when you return your device.

I haven't been charged yet.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyhamster73:
When I called on the 1st for my rma they put the authorization through on my card...it fell off of course because its been 2 weeks, going on 3 that I've been waiting. Not sure if they'll do another authorization when it comes time to ship my rma.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onishchuk4:
I spoke with a rep two days ago and he said that the reason the charge dropped it because they don't want to have $300+ of your money tied up waiting for the device. Once it ships, the hold will return.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyhamster73:
That's exactly what happened too, Google pre authorized my rma at 930pm est. I'm assuming by what happened when my 11/13 order shipped on 11/27 that this pre authorization is a good thing, and that it'll actually ship in the next 24 hours. I highly doubt they drop the authorization because they don't want to "tie up" the money...it's probably more of a credit card "rules" thing where if it's been a certain amount of time and they don't put it as a charge then they have to drop it. I'm just guessing though, I'm not buying that Google is concerned with those types of things.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] otariq:
I placed the rma order yesterday morning and the charge was placed immediately on my card and under wallet it says shipping is less than a week
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyhamster73:
Mine said the same thing, " shipping in a week" and they put the pre authorization through when I called on the 2nd. It fell off a few days later and they just pre authorized again last night.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enjoirock:
Original Order: 11/13

Shipping Confirmation: 11/16

Delivered: 11/19

RMA Request: 11/30

I can confirm that 2 (US) Google representatives have told me they are completely out of RMA stock. I put in for a RMA on 11/30 (earpiece hissing & charging issues), and was told 3-5 weeks. After no shipping information, I called back and a second rep told me the same thing, 3-5 weeks, no stock. Though, they've told me that's from my RMA request date. The pending charge went through on my credit card the same day of the RMA request, and is still pending.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexgoose:
I rma'd my first one (stock) due to overheating too (122f was the highest)...called them on 12/11 and got the replacement on 12/13! 2nd phone was brand new as specified by the rep...i sent my 1st one back and it's in transit to texas right now..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SovereigN7:
Sent in a RMA request few hours ago. I'm planning the return the old one the moment the new one arrives. However, since all of you guys received the prepaid ups label, I wasn't sure whether the prepaid label is available for 14 days or longer because the shipping of the new one might take longer. Did you guys return it without receiving the new one or after receiving it?

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyhamster73:
I'm returning mine after I receive the new phone. I wouldn't send the phone in until after you've received yours.

How long are they sending out a new phone? What if I have a problem after 3 months? It still that easy to get a new one?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emama:
I wanna know too,

Cox their CS always saying different stories

I asked one before and he said even if I call after that 15 days period, they will simply send the new phone and return the old phone like before.

Not really sure if this is the case for the entire warranty year.

What should you do before you send your Nexus in for RMA if rooted?

So I have a rooted Nexus 4. The ROM is stock.

My phone doesn't turn on when it's locked sometimes. So I want to send it in for a RMA.

Do I just need to re-lock the bootloader before sending it in?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtyhamster73:
I would. Better safe than sorry. You don't want them coming back to you saying the malfunction was because the phone was unlocked. Chances are they might not, but what if? Only takes a minute to lock it anyway. I'd unroot too. Put it back to "out of the box".
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nexusmaniac:
I've had my N4 since February and I have started to notice a buzzing from the earpiece and the phone creeks on the bottom edge, can I still RMA the phone after 2-3 months?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
The Play Store site says only 15 days for an RMA from date of purchase but others have reported still getting an RMA 5 months later. Doesn't hurt to just call and ask as the least they can do is say no.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shobuddy:
I'm having some bluetooth and volume issues on my N4. They've set up an RMA for me but I'm wondering if I should wait for the 4.3 update first and see if it fixes the issues. In any case, I purchased directly from Google Play. Do they send you a refurbished phone or a brand new phone with an RMA?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigabitex2:
Going through RMA right now and Google assured me that they only replace with brand new devices, other vendors may not. The reason I asked was that somewhere I read of a person receiving a replacement that had someone else's Google account linked to it already. I must say, Google was very responsive and when I called them I was talking to a rep with no wait..unlike most places where a half hour wait is the norm. +1 for Google in my book.

sent from my N7 :smokin:

What if I don't have the original charger for the RMA? Will they charge me for that?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hackahero:
I have had my nexus 4 for 6 months and last night my phone died in the middle of an Antutu benchmark. As far as I know it still had at least 30% charge left. Well After it went off I tried to get it to turn back on and all it would do was when i had it plugged in the red led would just blink on and off and it would do nothing else. Then I talked to google tech and they had me try some stuff and it still didnt work so I boxed it up and got an email to try something else and when i went to try that the phone was completely dead not even a blinking red led. however my phone is unlocked and rooted and theres no way for me to relock the bootloader does anyone know if they will keep my money when i RMA it for being unlocked? Or since its completely bricked obviously do you think they will just toss it?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zwyn:
Red led

I got the red led, you probably know what that means. I've tried almost everything,I let it charging for days, unplugged and replugged the battery etc.

If the phone is charging via AC when I try to boot it up after 12 second the led appears for a second. The same via USB, but in that case the led appears for 5 seconds. Which is bad, considering that the led indicates that it is charging, but it shouldn't disappear.

The worse problem: bootloader unlocked, root and a custom rom on. And I can't boot it up in any way possible, so I can't flash the stock.

Some of you said that Google removed the payment from the wallet even before they received the device, so I wonder..

What do you say?

It never lagged or anything.

Because of situations like these they implemented a new policy: if you don't have your device back within 14 days (it is not clear whether it is 14 'working' days or just days) then the store will issue a replacement. Keep in mind that the S3 and the GN2 are new devices so the chances of them being RE'd (refurbished / exchanged) are slim. Very likely, they will authorize a replacement. Also, BBY/GS will not call you in regards to this, it is up to you to call them and remind them that you need your phone and that is it takes too long to issue a replacement/credit for the damaged device.

Hi,

I would like to monitor my baby with a fixed Android phone at the cot, and a mobile Android phone with my wife or myself. Initially we were just thinking of initiating a Skype video call, but after some googling, I discovered that I could set up a phone as an IP cam with an app like IP Webcam, and then connect to it with other devices with an app like tinyCam Monitor. However, after testing it over a 3G connection, I realize I can't connect to the IP cam as it has a 10.* local IP address. I could use WiFi, but my home AP doesn't have sufficient coverage.

Are there any solutions that can stream over 3G? Or would Skype be the best solution in this case? What are the typical bandwidth requirements for video anyway?

Thanks!
