Congratulations, your phone didn't crack, and nor should it have. But just because yours didn't doesn't mean mine was cracked from something I did. There's always going to be faulty units and I believe some of us have received devices with weak glass. I stand to gain nothing from lying about my phone cracking because of something I did. The fact of the matter is my device cracked in my pocket without having ever been dropped. So the next time you feel like coming to XDA to spout off and not contribute anything useful to the discussion, think twice and then beat it.
[Nexus 4 General] xchasa:
Mate. You've got nothing to gain by dis believing people's stories.

Why such a staunch attitude to anyone with problems they might experience owning the N4? Not like you own google or LG. You comment in basically every negative thread on this forum stating yours is perfect and anyone with an issue is full of ****.

I owned a galaxy s years ago and I was one of the few lucky people with a working gps.

Totally accurate and still is.

Does that mean everyone else was lying about their crap gps lock?

Failed but attractive design. LG should master the basic designing before going for fancy.

Still love my cheap plastic galaxy note which is still scratchless and new as out of the box. I just kept it in a silicon case.
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
It's true. People hammer on Samsung phones for using "cheap" plastic, but they generally stand against the test of time.
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
They just needed to make the back glass as thick as the front glass. Not to many broken fronts.
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
It definitely would have helped. But at $349 I can excuse that. After all - it's a premium phone at close to an entry phone price.

This reminds me of the transformer prime screens cracking while docked. It is going to get blown way out of proportion and people are going to go around talking about this as if it happens to every device despite it likely being a manufacturing defect that will only effect an extremely small minority of users.

[Nexus 4 General] skezza:
Look, here's the deal, buy a TPU full cover case. It's not right, and it really shouldn't be necessary, and some people won't because they want their phone to look 'fashionable' but if this has become a regular occurrence, it's a weak spot on probably a very small number of devices.

What I will say is this, there is no such thing as phantom damage (at least in most cases). You've somehow made an impact and the weak spot on the phone has cracked. It happens and unfortunately, you've paid the price. Don't claim that it was just innocently sitting in your pocket and then randomly spontaneously combusted, you know that isn't what happened and this forum, more than any other, will be skeptical of that claim. If you work with heavy machinery, is there not a chance you banged it against the frame or something?

I've had impact issues with other phones, albeit in different scenarios including an iPhone 3GS (the reason I will never have an iPhone again) which the screen stopped working due to their being a tiny weak spot just above where the display connector connects resulting in the connector becoming dislodged after I dropped it on carpet and a right balls up job to fix it.

My suggestion, TPU case from now on, simple. I recommend that anyway because it preserves the condition of your phone, but ultimately glass will break, and that could be a weakish spot so be careful N4 owners, TPU up and be happy :D :)

Edit:

How did google respond to your warranty claim, they may well be willing to have this fixed under warranty. I've noticed manufacturers lately have become very 'slack' with regards to their warranty and are letting a lot of things slide and fixing them for nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
Mine also got a pair of scratches on the back cover pretty quickly.

But hey, it is just a glass, even if hardened. Plastic would be scratched even quicker, my NexusS looked much worse after same time.

Yes, the prettyness / practicality compromise in this phone is heavy on the side of the former, but I actually like it this way. There are enough other practical phones on the market to choose from.
[Nexus 4 General] Glaux:
Well I guess Gorilla Glass 2 is...*puts on glasses* ...not all it's cracked up to be.

YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
Just to revive an old thread.. Received my replacement nexus today. They gave me some grief before they agreed to send a replacement unit. They even went as far to admit that the glass is weak on some units around the cutouts but that it still wasn't covered under the manufacture's warranty. In any event, they sent me a replacement device and I'll be returning the cracked unit tomorrow. We'll see if I end up getting billed for the new phone.
[Nexus 4 General] D4rk50ul:
I treated mine like a crown jewel until I got my spg fill body protectors and a tpu case on it. I think the amount of heat generated by these things while being exposed to extreme temps could cause damage. Not going to chance it. Sorry for your losses.

[Nexus 4 General] mrg2003:
TPU case no problems so far.

I've had 3 nexus 4, no problems with any of them, current owners of 2 report no issues either.

First things I do when getting a personal phone:

1. Add to all risks gadget insurance, take photos

2. Put a case on, look on XDA for best one ;)

3. Try not do drop, hand to kids, or abuse it.

<smug mode on> Never had a phone or tablet get damaged.

If I break it, I'll claim on insurance, or take the hit myself.

If it fails electronically, I'll try the warranty route, but if it's over a year, I divide the cost / time and see whether I deserve a new one.
[Nexus 4 General] I'mDan2:
Good luck

Curious about how this goes for you. I'm currently waiting to hear back from a specialist as to whether Google will replace mine. Cracking around the speaker. Had it 2 weeks and have treated it like a newborn baby. Don't want to have to ship and pay LG for their mistake.
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Despite my coworkers repeatedly dropping my phone ~4 feet onto tile, It's yet to break. The running gig is the first person to break it buys me a new one.

One thing I HAVE noticed however, is extreme cold (-0) to normal temps over and over seems to make the glue holding the glass to the plastic brittle. I have noticed a clicking noise getting more and more pronounced as I continue to bring the device to work (In and out of a freezer all day). I wouldn't be surprised if the glass itself completely separates at some point.

Still hands down the best phone I've ever owned though, both in software and hardware. It has it's issues, yes, just like any other phone -- it just looks so much nicer.

Also, I've had chicks complement me on it. Not very often does a phone get attention when I'm around. :cool:

[Nexus 4 General] SkippyFlipjack:
Did you contact Google or LG? And did you really send it without confirming whether you'd be billed for a new phone? That seems like the most expensive of all options, I'd think you might have discussed with them..

Anyway I'm in the same boat -- phone slipped from my hand, bounced around as I tried to catch it and I got a toe on it which seemed to stall all momentum, but the back shattered in the corner (around the speaker hole). No bumper -- people couldn't understand me on the one I'd bought (even after cutting out extra materiel around the mic), so I recently removed it while waiting for Google's to be in stock.

Now I'm researching repair options.
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
I contacted both but finally got through to someone at the Play Store who was willing to help me.

I was told if it was deemed my fault that the back cracked I would be charged for the replacement device. There is no evidence of it being dropped (because it wasn't) so I'm not sure what the outcome will be.
[Nexus 4 General] fredcorp6:
Heat from the processor maybe caused it??
[Nexus 4 General] ismethajametovic:
It didn't. If the the phone heats up, it tends to get hot around the camera area.

Next time, use a real case. The bumper is junk and won't protect the phone. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
Mine cracked from the camera cutout. I don't play games or benchmark my phone so it really hasn't gotten all that hot.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
That picture on the op sure doesn't not look like heat. It looks like pressure was applied to the front and something inside the phone like maybe the speaker pushed into the glass and broke it. If it was in your pants pocket this could happen easily. If you search around you can find some guys that had the glad break while in their pockets and some looked just like this.

Hopefully they will give you a new one though at no cost.

This phone is just too long and wide to keep in pants pockets.

[Nexus 4 General] maulich:
Your first mistake is carrying your phone in your pocket. You would be surprised how much flex force can be caused by your jeans when moving around not to mention the risk of bumps. My daughter carries hers in her pocket also, and every phone she has ever owned has had to be replaced for damage to the screen or something at least once. So far i have replaced her current phone, a captivate, 3 times in less than a year. Get a case..........
[Nexus 4 General] ruzkay:
That actually happened to me too. I had my phone in my pocket and even in a sleeve! I was sure I didn't drop it or anything but after a while I came to the conclusion I must have leaned towards a desk/bar and accidentally pressed the phone on an edge while it was in my pocket. Because on mine it looks like an impact too and I can't explain how else it would have happened.
[Nexus 4 General] SloMotion:
The back glass is so weak is not even funny. I just watched in horror as my phone fell of my desk, landed on a rubber slipper and onto the floor.

You guess it the back cover broke in the corner and to make it worse I was just printing the return label for the phone as is was being replace. Now I don't want to be charge for a new phone because of the broken back cover.

When the SGS3 is connect to the battery and powered on is hangs in I boot loop during the text: Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-I9300, the phone powered its self on and off. I can go mto the downloadmode but that still switched on and off. I can''t get to the recovery mode.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
Odin won't get you anywhere since it's for Samsung devices.

Download a CM10.1 nightly for your device and extract the boot.img file from the zip.

Flash the boot.img from fastboot to restore the kernel

fastboot flash boot boot.img

reboot, and done.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grona:
I don't think I can get it to fast boot, adb doesn't read my device since android debugging doesn't turn on. I'll give it a shot though when I get home.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comminus:
In your OP you stated:

So, hopefully you can still get there.

Kernel problems won't affect fastboot. Generally speaking, the only way you wont be able to get to fastboot is with bootloader corruption or hardware failure, neither of which sounds like your issue.

so i have my tablet in fastboot, and i have ADB up and running, but when i type in ADB devices it comes up blank.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wilsondavila:
My prime is rooted and unlocked (when I was still on ICS)

I've been running CM10 (Jelly Bean), but decided to give tablet to wife, and return to stock as much as possible so it will be easy for her.

I was thinking in installing the Energy ROM (Jelly Bean).

My bootloader is twrp (fastboot) for ICS.

I tried flashing energy SEVERAL times to no success. I did the wipes, by the way. After installation successful, it automatically reboots and the installation bar goes really quick to the end, then reboots and gets stuck at the ASUS logo, with AndroidRoot 9.4.2.28r01 at the left corner.

I can go back to bootloader and try installing again, but results the same. I tried Hairybean and also didn't work.

The only ROMS that will work is virtous (ICS) or CM10 (JB). Those installations flash just fine...

I thought the problem was my bootloader (ICS- twrp.blob), so I tried replacing it for the JB twrp.blob but then bootloader wouldn't start at all!

So I reverted back to ICS twrp.blob and bootloader is back. But still can't install energy JB rom...

I'm really stuck and already spent way too many hours. If you guys can't help me I don't know what else to do.

So what am I doing wrong? Why can't I flash ENERGY ROM on my prime?

Also, Is the energy Jelly Bean the best user-friendly experience/stability for my wife to use as her daily ROM?

Thanks a lot!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] hx4700 Killer:
Energy Rom is for Jelly Bean bootloader devices only. That is why it says "JB" in the title

TWRP is a recovery, not boot-loader.

Oh and for the record, if you have a question/problem with someones ROM then you should ask it in their ROM thread.

Unfortunately, we do not have an ETA for the Zens Charger at this time. This means that we have not received a delivery date from the manufacturer.

The reason for this delay is related to the manufacturer and is beyond our control. It is possible that the product could arrive tomorrow or it may still be a week or two. This is usually the case when the manufacturer has a higher volume of requests for an item than it produces. Please continue to check our website for any updates.
