Should i get a protector for the back i wanna keep the nice feeling tho x.x
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aimetti:
ive called google twice and emailed them

they keep refusing to warranty the stupid bumper
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
I just received this product. It's the official LG bumper. Working good so far.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Official for $15? It's probably a replica
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semantics:
Might be, came in an LG nexus 4 package matching all of my other nexus products. Either way, it's quality.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Its a replica I've bought from there the bulk packing isn't exactly like the real OEM bulk packaging.

Lol even mine got the crack at the same spot. Just used glue to stick and its fine again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jazzboyrules:
Mine's the same case. Google's official Nexus 4 bumper cracked at the same spot after 3 months of use; it never survived to see an impact.

I called Play support and then followed up via email. At first they denied warranty coverage. So I replied to them back with:

Hi everyone,

I hope you guys are not confusing the bumper with the phone itself.
I had requested to get a replacement for the *official Nexus 4 Bumper*.

The reason I feel that there is confusion is because firstly you referred the bumper as a 'device' instead of an accessory and secondly you mentioned the possibility of it getting repaired. I don't think that this cracked plastic frame can be repaired.

It's ironic that the official bumper I bought to protect the phone couldn't keep itself together because of material or manufacturing defect. The bumper is just 3 months old. It's not supposed to break by itself in such short time.

Please reconsider my request and arrange to send me a new bumper. I am willing to pay for the shipping cost.
It is a bit disappointing.

and then they replied back with:

Hi [MY NAME],

Thank you for contacting Google Support, I apologize for the delay. I can understand how this issue could be inconvenient, but I hope I am able to answer all of your questions.

Based on the warranty issue you've encountered, I've submitted your accessory order for refund processing.

I apologize for the issue you experienced. You do not need to return your defective accessory, and you’ll receive a refund verification email within 14 business days.

If you have any other questions/concerns, feel free to reply to this email or call into 855-836-3987. You have a wonderful day.

Thank you for being a Valued Google Play Customer.

Warm Regards,

Chris

tldr; I got the refund! :)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dru858:
My bumper case also started developing a crack in the same exact spot after three months. I called the Play Store and they at first said they'd send me a replacement so long as I sent my defective one back. Then the lady couldn't find a way to place the order she finally asked someone else and was told that they only refund accessories and do not replace them. I still had to ship my bumper back, which I did already. So just two days later and I received my credit already. I don't think I'll be ordering another bumper case because I don't want to have to keep repeating this cycle every three months.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmkilc:
Yep, I never did end up buying another. I went with another case. Unless they redesign the bumper to fix this issue, I wouldn't recommend it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobola:

I had to call maybe four times over a couple weeks to get a damn refund. In the end, I got a refund without sending it in the day after I talked to the fourth rep. I got an email confirming the refund in my wallet. If you don't get it, keep calling till you do!

Right Lol. Yesterday when I was on the phone with Google play support to get my refund started I was put on hold a few times. That music they use is still the same classical song over and over and over it was like rehashing a torture memory all over again. Oh yea and just so they could rub it in during my first call during my transfer to a rma CSR my phone call got cut off and hung up on. It looks like they just don't get any better over there Lol but my second call went smoothly.

So... My bumper just cracked today. I called google play and they told me that they can not do anything. I bought this off a friend anf it is 100% legit so anyone have any suggesitions on what to do?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilsonlam97:
Superglue it or buy another bumper. (replica or genuine, your call)

I think somebody should start selling just the plastic rim so that people can fix their broken bumpers.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yalkowni:
There is absolutely nothing i can do on play store end ?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnieace:
Mine broke a while ago. It sucked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
They need the gmail address that purchased the bumper in order to get a refund. I had to print the return label the emailed me along with a RMA printout even though I'm not rmaing it. I'm sending mine in today and then they will refund the money to the original account that bought it.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Mines just started to crack, its not fully cracked but about 3/4ths there. I'm thinking its coming from the USB.

Sadly, I won't be able to get it refunded as I bought it from eBay. Currently using the Hybrid case I bought couple months (or weeks?) ago for the time being. Not sure if I want to get another bumper, if I do.. it'll probably be a replica at around ~$10. I just don't want to buy another bumper and have it break to the same problem. I love the buttons on the bumper :C
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yalkowni:
Ok i found this paper inside my packaging and by law they should fix any broken bumpers. Since it clearly says it has a 12 month warranty
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilsonlam97:
Good luck.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ulver:
Mine broke too awhile back. I would take it off to clean it at least once a day and I'm pretty sure that put strain on the bumper and it eventually cracked.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raysurrx7:
Just noticed that mine is completely broken.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Yep mines cracked in the same spot.. was more in the middle. I advise any one to buy this case to get it officially from the Google Play Store as if you buy it from eBay or any replicas and it cracks, you won't get your money back.

Play Store will just refund you and you can buy another one if you choose to do so. Quite a disappointment, they won't just outright fix the design flaw.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raysurrx7:
Just called Google Play and they sent me a return label to mail it back for a refund.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLTNex4:
For you guys with cracked bumpers that have been able to get refunded, are they including the initial shipping charges as well? I had to follow up three separate times to get my refund, and when it hit it was only for the price of the bumper and tax.

Not pleased...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Just called about my refund and was told that I have to wait 14 days from when they received my bumper (Apr 15th). So on may 3rd I'm sure I'll calling back because I'm sure I won't get my refund in time. :banghead:

Well I officially joined the club. My OEM Nexus bumper has cracked at the USB port opening. The best Google Play will do is a refund? Has anybody had any luck getting a replacement?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
They claim that they don't do replacements even though it is advertised to be backed with a two-year warranty (or 3? I dunno, I think it was 2).

They'll refund you your money back and then you can purchase another one if you want, which will most likely end up cracking by the USB port again because its a design flaw that Google/LG refuses to address.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DowntownJeffBrown:
Nope and I'm still waiting on my refund. They got my bumper on the 15th and I'm still waiting :rolleyes:.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jt.61:
I swear they don't know what the warranty info is on the damn bumper. I had to explain maybe four times to one rep of the 1 year limited warranty against DEFECTS. Still, I had to call maybe four times to get a refund in my account. You have to be persistent and keep calling till you get a refund because it never got in their system. I told them to make a note in my account saying I was told different things about getting a bumper refund (from sending it it, to getting a replacement, to getting a refund, or to not getting anything). I was tired if it and demanded till I got a refund.

Good luck on your Google adventure, but you will eventually get to your refund path.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
Did you removed the case starting from the bottom of the phone? If you did that, that's why it cracked. You place phone aligned on the bottom and push it to fit inside at the top. Then, you pop it out at the top first. From the pic, it looks like you forced the lower left corner to pop the bumper out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmkilc:
It is a poorly designed case if taking the bottom out first instead of the top causes it to fall apart.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Agreed. Been using the poetic bumper that I bought a while back. Loving it, less bulky than the the Google one
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NardVa:
Just RMAed my bumper for a refund. Still debating if I should order another one. It's cheaper to go with a case and the case will last longer.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
The only thing I miss are the click buttons that are on the bumper. They make the phone feel more pleasant.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Higgsy:
My bumper cracked in exactly the same place. Its definitely due to taking phone in/out of the case to clean it etc. I emailed google and after first telling me there was nothing they could do unless it was within 15 days, quoted some UK consumer law and they then agreed to refund me, waited 3 weeks and nothing. After loads of emails where they just kept responding with rubbish, they said I would have to wait for a refund again, got a refund this morning and its only £5.99 out of the £15.99 I should have been refunded :rolleyes:. Now waiting for another reply, I fixed mine with superglue in the meantime, but it just breaks again, currently got it glued and secured with a bit of duct tape (looks crap) and I've ordered a Rearth Ringke Fusion because if I get another one it will just end up breaking again as its a design flaw. The plastic should be fused/glued with the tpu material at the bottom of the case, but its completely separate.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
It's not similar. The GP 4.0 is based off the GS1 or I9000. The only difference is the type of screen used, the camera, and how big the battery is.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] daniel644:
And naturally the lack of the cell radio. Also I thought Zaclimon or Hanthesolo (can't remember) said it was the same screen but different drivers or something like that.

Really? I thought the GS1 has a Super AMOLED, and our 4.0 has the Super Clear LCD?

You know I bet what it is is they use the same Touch "screen" (digitizer) or hell I may just be mistaken but I could of sworn I read somewhere in the development they had the same but different drivers.

Ripple live wallpaper has stopped

This is normal. it is due to the wallpaper needing to read the SD Card at startup to be applied. Once the SD Card is done being read and you click OK. The wallpaper with ripple effect will show back up.

Not being able to set wallpaper

Go to manage apps and clear app preferences.

Stock video player FC and crashing

Flash either garwynn's or stock kernel

Not being able to download from market

Three things:

1)Clear google play store cache and data(manage apps) remove google account. reboot phone. Add google account again and download.

2)If you get the error not enough room/space.......unmount SD Card. download and install app. remount SD Card.

3)Try flashing the stock kernel GB27
