[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Google's warranty is only for the original buyer. LG's manufacturer warranty is what goes by serial number. If something went wrong with the phone you would not be able to RMA through Google but would have to send it in to LG for repairs, and they do not give out replacements. Unless you can get the seller to RMA it for you, or give you all his information about the purchase.

No. They only do repairs and do not give replacements. You will be without a phone for at least 2 weeks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos991:
I sent mine in last Friday for a faulty USB board on the phone itself. I'll be able to verify if the phone is different than the one I sent.

I can't envision LG having spare mainboards laying around. I would guess that they ship a refurb and send yours to the place (likely out of country) to become a refurb.

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:58 AM ----------

Google can transfer the warranty if his gmail is the one it was purchased under. Basically Google would need his gmail account and good authorization for transfer.

I was told by a Google Rep to set up a conference call between myself and the original purchaser to get it transferred.

Too bad for me that the guy stopped answering any communications and I had to send it to LG.

That's a good deal, make sure it's works perfectly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I'm just going by a previous poster in another thread who had to send his in to get a screen and digitizer replaced. It took him two weeks to get it replaced and it was the same phone that came back. Its pretty easy to replace a board and I would imagine they have spares for replacement but it would be nice to see if you get a refurb or the same phone back. Have to favorite this thread or I'll forget to check back.

Make sure its not stolen. Pug in your sim and go to the Play Store.

Mine was stolen and was blacklisted by google. It would be a pain to have to change emei. :crying:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos991:
It's T-Mobile that blocks the phone because they sell it at a subsidy.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Once an IMEI is listed as stolen it goes on a master list that all carriers have access too, so its actually blacklisted by all of them not just TMo
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos991:
That isn't true. My nexus 4 is blocked because the dude never paid his bill with T-Mobile. Still works fine on AT&T.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kristoff125:
That's not reported as stolen. T-Mo just locks it out for an unpaid bill.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
And what I said was if the IMEI is listed as

STOLEN

it is blacklisted by all carriers. This is an agreement all US carriers signed and has been enforce in Europe for a long time.

I wouldn't buy the N4 used. Just the experience of taking it out of the box knowing it has no damage whatsoever is worth the wait.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablos991:
You were right. LG replaced the daughter-board and the main-board of the phone.

Though they returned it to me in FTM mode so now I have to try and get a factory image on this thing via ADB commands.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
Its good to know that they just repair them. Not sure what they are doing with all the returns coming in from Google that people RMA'd, maybe reboxing them as brand new.

Hi,

in terms of backups wp8 already has a lot of backup .. skydrive.. whatever automation.

But i am wondering what would happen if i swap my phone due to "damage" for example to minimize the backup work.

On my TP3 i had spb backup that backed everything up for me. it was a joy to swap the phone.

Do i need another programm on wp8 or is everything synced in the cloud with skydrive and microsoft account?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthew5025:
You have to turn on backup from settings. I can vouch that backup works well as my 8X keeps breaking... And takes a long time to be fixed. Screw you HTC!

Back on topic, 4 main things are backed up

1. Text messages (

REMEMBER TO TURN IT ON

)

2. Apps installed on your phone (App data is

NOT

backed up)

3. Your accent color (Home screen layout is not backed up)

4. Settings (Except home screen layout as stated)

Everything is automated if you TURN IT ON. It is linked to your MIcrosoft account, and AFAIK does not use skydrive storage.

Did I forget to state to

TURN BACKUP ON

?

Text messaging backup is off by default. TURN IT ON

It's a lifesaver.

Sorry forgot about this thread lol... It was a BRAND NEW note that asurion sent me the week before christmas. It worked fine and I'm 98% sure it was the new stock battery as well. Though I normally use ankers but I figured fresh battery was cool. Luckilly that Friday night I had been too tired and fell asleep without charging it or this would have happened while I was asleep. Saturday morning I put it on the charger next to my bed around 730ish and it was at ~40% . Me and my daughter were laying in the bed watching spongebob when I heard a hissing noise, and I looked over to see steam shooting from my battery like the old pipes in movies . I took my daughter out of the room and heard a little pop then when I looked in the room my phone was on fire... Literrally burst into flames.... God is good. Could been A LOT worse. Still waiting to hear from Samsung.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MkVsTheWorld:
I'm looking to hear what people have done to get around the 8 or 16GB storage limitation. How have you managed large MP3 libraries, ROM backups, pictures/videos, etc.?

I'd like to hear your creative ideas! ie The Cloud, Separate iPod/MP3 player, keep a laptop close by, etc.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I don't have a Nexus 4 yet, but I can tell you how I do it with my 16GB Nexus S. We had the same discussion everyone is having now two years ago.

I would make use of the cloud, but unfortunately there aren't any unlimited data plans in the Netherlands, and if there are, they're freaking expensive. So I'm stuck with 1GB a month. Which is perfectly fine for me, but not if I want to make use of the cloud.

I do have a larger MP3 library than 16GB. Probably around 30GB. What I did is I sorted all my songs. On genre, in playlists, with ratings. This makes it really easy to just copy small parts of my library onto my Nexus S. I change my mobile library like once in two weeks. I don't listen to all of the 30GB anyway. I want to have as many different genres as possible on my device, so I mainly sort the songs on rating. With this system, I don't even make 8GB, which gives me plenty of space for other things. I'm happy with it and I doubt that even with unlimited data I would use that cloud. Copying a new library to my phone twice a month doesn't cost me a lot of time at all. I would definitely use a service like Spotify, even though I don't have unlimited data. Streaming wouldn't be possible (1GB data cap), but for the times I don't have wi-fi I can use the offline modus. But I think Spotify Premium is too expensive, and what I hate about it is that when you stop after two years of loyal service, you have nothing to show for.

The rest of my storage I let fill up automatically. With apps and the like. I store pictures on my google drive. I don't really use ROM backups (I'm not that attached to a certain setup, because I like the tweaking more than actually using my phone), but when I do, I just copy them on my computer.

Would I use 32GB if I had it? Of course. But I'm totally fine with 16GB. What I don't really understand is why there's no sd card slot. There isn't really a logical reason not to implement one. It can't cost THAT much, right? Anyway, only once a year I'm annoyed by the lack of storage: when I'm going on vacation. I watch a lot of TV series/movies on vacation. I would use USB OTG, but... I can live with it. I bring my computer anyway so I can always copy new episodes on my phone.

It really isn't such a big deal to empty your SD card every so often. That's just my two cents.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahnn:
I bought the 16gb version specifically to have enough room to transfer the pictures of my previous phone to it, only to find out that transfering a large amount of files is erratic and good luck if you plan to have the files sorted by timestamp.

I think you are pretty much forced to use the cloud, if you are okay with it; I wasn't, so I simply gave up and transferred nothing to the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazuki1:
My apps take up most of my space unfortunately. I have over 50 gb of music in my computer and I'm only left with approx ~3gb on my phone. Which kinda sucks:\ not that I plan in putting all my music, but extra space would be nice. I also download a lot of stuff too. My apps are mostly heavy games though(battle bears, gta3 & VC, NFS most wanted, etc...) So the games make up for lack of music.

)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kzoodroid:
I bought a 16 GB but its not enough for my full mp3 library, but nothing is as its over 80 GB anyways. Right now I have about 12 GB stored locally in 3 playlists, this is the music that I just absolutely can't live without. The rest is in the cloud on Google Music but I hate streaming it, playback quality sucks and I don't have the data plan to do it. Everything else, documents, pictures, files, etc are stored in dropbox and I can easily access them from anywhere and download what is needed. I also have a 50GB box account for storage so I never have a problem with access to files I need.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yoyoz808:
Just use a computer if you need more storage. People use the phone way to much if you need to use all that storage and internet data. How about exercising or going out on a date. Plus everything is going to the cloud.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoidberg_md:
In all honesty my last phone had 2gb internal and 8gb card and I didn't come anywhere close to filling it. So I said Ill get the 8gb. Really theres only around 5 gb usable when you get it. I installed just apps and 1 large game (gta vice city) I have close to 2 gb usable. After a few videos and a bunch of images it goes quick. Really just makes it so you have to manage your file system more.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimG520:
Sure, and someday we'll all have unlimited fast data for $5/month. Until then, I want to be able to carry my music/videos around with me wherever I go. There are ways to do that (SD cards, portable hard drives, etc), but Google/LG decided to prevent us from using those methods with this device.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efan3719:
did you buy this phone? you knew this going in. why would you buy this phone if you needed those things? i guess maybe the USB OTG thing was a screw up on their part though.

to answer OP's question. I only have apps installed that i need. and honestly regular apps take up nearly no space. I usually only have one or two games installed that are really big. I clear my cache every night with a Titanium Backup schedule. I use Google Music or the million other music apps to stream music. I'm not away from a WiFi connection long enough to consume too much data on mobile so it's not an issue for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
I use Play Music for my library, and Dropbox and Box. Simple enough for me.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androyed:
I am going to buy the Nexus 4, but that doesn't mean his complaints aren't valid. I can get by with 16GB, but I would use the extra storage if I had 32GB or a SD card slot, or even USB OTG support. It's weird that they left it all out. And unlimited data is virtually non-existent here in the Netherlands, unless you want to play like 100 euro per month.

Every phone has something you won't like. You have to weigh the pros and the cons. For me, the Nexus 4s pros easily win.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MkVsTheWorld:
I bought the 8GB model and I did slightly underestimate how much space that I would need given the prepaid carrier I use. Straight Talk has an undefined data cap.

My biggest usage is music streaming. So, I try to plan out the music that I'm in the mood to listen to that day when I wake up in the morning. Most paid music streaming services will let you cache the music offline. I found that the cached music from Spotify/Sony Music Unlimited/Rdio/etc takes less space on my internal storage than my actual library from Google Play Music. Google Play Music also allows you to cache too.

That's my "creative" way lol.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeygbiz:
Google play music works just fine as long as you have a decent data connection. In the settings of the app you can click on only stream high quality. As long as your mp3s are good and you're on a fast network, it'll do 320kbps. I've got about 60gb of music stored, most of which are 320 and they sound really good as long as you know how to eq using dsp or another mixer of choice. If you know you're going to be in a spotty area, pin a few playlists or albums to your phone via Wi-Fi before you leave your pad.

Oh.... and if your speakers/headphones suck, the music quality will too..

For other files use Google drive or Dropbox. If you have a g+, your photos can automatically upload to a private album. Or use one of the other photo services out there.

If you wanna pay a bucks, doubletwist can wirelessly sync to your computer over Wi-Fi... food for thought.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MkVsTheWorld:
I happen to use my phone to assist me when I go long distance running and for getting dates :). As a matter of fact, being able to track my running via GPS is an essential function. And also listening to music when I run and work out. If anything, my phone has enabled me to be more active.

I use G+ for uploading pics. It would be nice if it could automatically delete pictures after a successful upload.

I used to use Subsonic for streaming music from my desktop. But, I felt that I was wasting energy by keeping my PC "on" every day. That's why I like Google Play Music, it technically saves me money.

I have unlimited data so my situation may be different.

I abuse Google + for storing up to 20000 photos and auto sync them then delete from device. I use box.com for anything else I need to store and have dropbox and Google drive for more storage. I stream all my music from Google play as I uploaded my entire library off my PC. It uses a surprisingly small amount of data compared to watching the GSL with the twitch.TV app. So far I've got all my favorite apps, about 12 games, and have over 10gb free.

I'm also thinking about using airdroid for easier file transfer to PC while around house.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltibaba:
Here in Austria we don't get official Google Play service, so the device has to be bought from a third-party vendor. Also, there's no movies, books, or music... i.e. no official Google Music app streaming.

I use CloudAround for that though, uploaded around 25GB of music to dropbox, and stream from there directly, though it also works with many other cloud providers. You can also use ZumoCast http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1276410, a great solution if you have a home server running windows.

However I have unlimited data with 8GB/month high speed (even LTE where available), with throttling to 64kbit/s when its reached -> enough for good quality AAC internet radio :D.

Only 16GB internal (~12GB effectively) is slightly low, 32 would be way better. Even my Samsung Omnia i900 in 2008 had 16GB internal, and I put in a 8gb card for a total of ~22GB effective...

@ the Dutch posters: Its a shame all the providers removed unlimited data. When I studied there in 2010, I got a contract from Hi with unlimited 3.6Mbit 3G. I was still grandfathered in until this year, but nobody wanted to buy it off me so I had to cancel it :(.

It's not official a stable ROM but like I said, I've been using it (thoroughly) for almost 2 weeks now and have experienced very few bugs, but so did I using CM9.1.

Why don't you try it? Just install the ROM from SD card without wiping any data or cache. You'll keep all your apps and settings and it will take like 5 min.

If you're not satisfied just recover a backup.
[HTC Sensation] TheWall-[ITA]:
I don't think that's a really good idea for two reasons:

1 - I don't think it will work.

2 - Every ROM thread suggests a full wipe when coming from another ROM. In fact bruce2728, the developer of the ROM you linked before, says in the

install notes

:

Before flashing always make a backup of your apps and data with something like Titanium Backup and then follow carefully the installation instructions in the ROM thread :)
