I do this too. Only have the factory protector still on the back and have Bugatti skinny leather pouch to carry it around in my pocket. It's still looking great and I love the naked feel of it.

@TS: Too bad you skid it across the table. Hope it's not too bad?
[Nexus 4 General] ryan stewart:
I rocked an Evo naked for a year, a GNex naked after that and my N4 will likely be naked. Its how I like it, bare. I only case up when expecting trouble.
[Nexus 4 General] KyleDevlin12:
Gorrila glass is scratch resistant not scratch proof. So stop whining about scratches. If you dont want to damage your screen use a protector :p
[Nexus 4 General] BrianDigital:
nope no plastic on my couch, why you so mad about how people want to take care of their phones
[Nexus 4 General] SXiCate:
I feel your pain :( ... My first N4 got jealous when I was using my N7 and tried to commit suicide off a footstool ... Landed on its front screen and slid across the wooden floor ... I actually felt physically sick when I saw the inch long double scratch on the screen. My OCD couldn't let it go, I thought I could cope but then got caught up in the frenzy of the last UK batch and before I knew it I'd bought another one ... Luckily my other half who doesn't have an OCD problem bought the scratched one off me ... But ... I now have the new one and it has a very yellow screen compared to the old one which is bright white :banghead:... I'll never be happy, I'm a nightmare :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
I never had a screen protector on any of my phones for more than about a day... The only one that has any scratches on the screen at all is my HOX after about a year of use in just a TPU case which has a very light ~3mm scratch you can see if you hold the phone at certain angles to light with the screen off. I'm not about to start sacrificing the feel and responsiveness if my LCDs over that but I do wonder whether the oleophobic coating on newer phones like the HOX is prone to scratching as my older phones are immaculate despite having been used longer. I haven't taken the protective film of the back of my N4 yet and don't intend to until I receive my TPU skin for it.
[Nexus 4 General] qazibasit:
For OCD its easy to self council yourself, "its ok if it happens, the device is still useable, u can still get a screen protector, its better lae than never". You will feel better for ur phone.
[Nexus 4 General] pkmncole:
I'm scared for my phone even with the protector and case. I'm too OCD about even putting the screen protector on and just ended up paying for Ghost Armor, lol.
[Nexus 4 General] norazi:
people need to realize that unless you have a diamond coated screen, it WILL get scratched... doesnt matter if its gorilla glass 2 or 10.

its simple physics, sand is right next to diamond on the RoHs hardness scale

people also need to realize that there is an inverse relationship between hardness and shock durability.... the harder a material is (ie glass), the less likely it will get scratched but more likely that it will get shattered. you cant have a scratchproof AND shatterproof material

The title of this thread should be "found one negative about phone screens".
[Nexus 4 General] Roastmeat:
My friend with an N4 randomly pulls out his phone and scratches it with his key, leaves no marks.

He's got the surface unprotected, it just makes me cringe

I'll get a screen made of sand. Then I only have to worry about diamonds.
[Nexus 4 General] wvcadle:
So what's the point of Gorilla Glass then? Why does everyone want it? What benefit does it have over alternatives?

Sounds to me like it's useless.
[Nexus 4 General] rr5678:
This is why devices should have raised edges.

So powerful, you're guaranteed to go airborne.
[Nexus 4 General] xchasa:
Try using a phone with normal glass the same thickness as gorilla glass and get back to me. :what:
[Nexus 4 General] wvcadle:
Just saying, all of the hype about it being unscratchable, only to hear that merely sliding it across a smooth surface will scratch the heck out of it.. leaves much to be desired.
[Nexus 4 General] Skilzdatkilz21:
Yeah it does suck. But the big benefit you get out of it is that it cracks a lot less. Honestly though I would much rather have just normal glass since I've never cracked a screen before and I hate scratches.
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
It is possible, you just scratched the oleophobic coating and not the glass itself...
[Nexus 4 General] wvcadle:
Oh lord. Apologies for the following comment, but does it matter whether it scratched the oleophobic (whatever that is) coating or the glass itself? If it's a product that is prone to look like crap, after minimal interaction with the outside environment, who cares why it looks like crap?

Feel free to invent something more resilient.

[Nexus 4 General] wvcadle:
Let it be known, that I wasn't the OP, nor was I complaining about Gorilla Glass. What I am doing is offering what appears to be the only objective opinion about it.
[Nexus 4 General] ChongoDroid:
Let it be known I wasn't selectively responding to you, however it's interesting you found it that way.

Here's the reality of the situation, it's impossible to defend against grit and still keep this premium feel to it. If people wanted an invincible phone they should've got a rugby or something that isn't 95% glass. I'm careful with a regular smartphone since one side is delicate glass, I'm SUPER careful with the nexus because both sides are delicate glass.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] wvcadle:
I can live with that. Personally, I'm happy with the Nexus 4. I'll sacrifice some durability for the overall benefit it offers. As far as the glass, I don't carry around any device without protecting it with a film. I immediately ordered a set of XO Skins for my Nexus, and bought a bumper. I'll just hope that I don't drop the heck out of it x
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
In theory you could just polish off the coating, to even it out... think of it as paint. With the coating, the Surface is super slick , best Solution is the HTC sensation method, where the glass has a convex curve on the edge to prevent Screen Scratches. Try a little car polish to see if the Scratches come out .
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Not a negative on GGlass or the Nexus.

It was a careless accident and the OPs fault. Why blame anything else?

Have had mine since Nov. I rarely use a case and no screen protector and there is not a scratch on my phone.

I think of you tried doing this with any lesser glad the results would have been worse..

As for the lack of a lip to keep the glass PFF a flat surface.. think about it.. The while bezel thing that allows you to slide your finger from one edge to the other.. A lip would ruin it. So far i have had no accidents causing my phone to slide across a table face first..

What was the purpose of this thread anyhow? To blame your carelessness on the phone or what? I don't really understand

Accidents happen buy why blame the glass? Most people don't have issues like this...
[Nexus 4 General] darthtito13:
Today I learned gorilla glass scratches easier. What kind of sense does that make?
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
Correction, the oleophobic coating on the n4 scratches easier than gorilla glass 2.
[Nexus 4 General] wvcadle:
Could you tell us what the oleophobic coating is? I've seen you reference it a couple of times now, but have no clue what you're talking about. My thoughts would be if the coating scratches, can you buff it out? If not, then what's it's purpose?
[Nexus 4 General] khanh1289:
oleophobic coating is to reduce/repell oils from your skin. I wouldn't think it's smart to try and buff out the coating because while you buff it out you risk another chance of scratching the GG2..
[Nexus 4 General] wvcadle:
My thoughts, then, would turn to why they put a coating over the GG2 that has less scratch resistance than the GG2 itself? If you can't repair it, or separate the two, then the oleophobic covering is the weakest link, rendering the GG2 a whole lot less valuable of an asset.
[Nexus 4 General] captaincrunch500:
I believe it's pretty much what khanh has said. The idea of the oleophobic coating is that the screen resists oils and has a nice, fingerprint free look when you are using the device, it's not there to add protection as far as I know.
[Nexus 4 General] bstosnbata:
Seems like you were the only one who got it. Kudos sir! Now lets go eat at ichiraku :)
[Nexus 4 General] Yarox:
I used to be the overprotective type when I bought my first smartphone. Since then I have owned quite a few of these technological gems, and I can say without hesitation that usually all of this protection nonsense becomes a hindrance sooner or later.

It's a product intended to wear and tear, so enjoy the naked feeling while you still use it. Chances are you'll buy the next Nexus device when it comes out anyway, so there really isn't much of a point to keeping it in pristine condition. Don't get me wrong - I'm not telling you to be careless, just take some basic precautions such as placing the phone in a pocket with no keys etc. If you're still slightly hesitant, use a pouch, although personally I only use it when I go swimming for the extra cushioning.

Tl;dr - At the end of the day it's a product and there's no real point in preserving it eternally. USE IT.
[Nexus 4 General] wvcadle:
I tend to disagree. I understand your point about being overprotective, but if there's any resale value to these phones, it would certainly benefit someone to keep it as new and clean as possible.
[Nexus 4 General] khanh1289:
Some people would like to sell/buy it in pristine condition.. that way they don't have to spend an arm and a leg for a new phone.

Sent from my Blenzderz 9000
[Nexus 4 General] Yarox:
I've sold each and every one of my old phones prior to buying a new one. I strongly believe that if you take some basic precautions the phone will still be in good-excellent condition when you decide to sell it, give or take a few minor scratches here and there. I've been able to sell my devices with this attitude at average or above average market price.

Hi,

so, after the new wave of Nexus 4 in the play store, and the rev 11 (12 ?), is this a new changelog for the rev ? And is this now OTG support ?

Thanks for your answer

(can't buy my N4, Google canceled my order :'()
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
uh ...... no
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMuon:
I just received my Nexus 4 two days ago, and USB OTG doesn't work on it. I don't know which revision it is. How do you find out?

Btw., I'm trying to find a solution, and I made a wiki where I am collecting everything I know about the problem:

http://www.wikihost.org/w/nexus4otg

Unfortunately, I can't post it in the dev thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2048545 , because I don't have enough posts, which is a bit silly. Could someone please link it there? Everybody who wants to contribute to the wiki is welcome.

My next steps:

Get a power injector cable, see if I can get a low-level response (dmesg etc.) with it.

Make a debug kernel that spits out more information.

Check what parts are disabled, and put them back in (Shaky156 make a kernel like this, I'm not sure what exactly he did though).

If all fails, see if I can mod it to manually enter host mode (instead of on OTG sensing), or bypass the slimport chip (if it is the problem).

A link to a wiki page doesn't belong in the dev section, read the rules. If you get a kernel up and working that can be posted in development.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainMuon:
Sorry, but then how does anything in that thread, maybe with exception of the opening post, belong there? None of it is the announcement of finished work or similar. People are trying to get it to work in that thread.

USB OTG for Nexus4

Hi...

I have some idea about nexus4 otg....

that is i have voltage converter that means 4V to 5V.

if nexus4 slimport out put 4v then converter makes it 5v ...so it can run the USB...

its not needs external power .......or power usb hub

I had tried it.. but I cant make it

how can i solve the problem????

AFAIK the Nexus 4 usb itself is not powered.. so no matter what you wont get voltage from it. For now, atleast, I hope.

Hallo!

I think i am not the only one with such a issue.

I was using SlimWizz ROM and that was working with 64gb sd card just fine.

Then i tryed to use some other rom and the problem started - CWM doesnt see that card and now no one rom see it. When tryin 4GB card its all ok, but with 64gb no more fun :(

Any sugestions?

[EDIT]

Cyanogen mod nightlies 10.1 - doesnt see exFAT (i think all CM/AOSP doesnt...PA doesnt see exFAT as well and AOKP too)

[EDIT 2]

Now i am going to try TWRP 2.4.0.0 Touch Recovery witch is claimed to support exFAT on CM10.1 if so, then ill be very happy :)

Well now... I tried 64GB exFAT fomated with no success. Now i formated my 4GB card to exFAT ...card in unvisible ;) Now will format back to FAT32 and see what then.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guzmanus:

you can format the card with fat32 and it should work,

I'm not absolutely sure, because mine was formatted long time ago, but afair formatting was done by specialised Windows app (no DOS involved) and did not take that long, closer to few minutes I think

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncassambai:
Hi.

So basically on my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT I9300 I had the O2 network animation on both startup and shutdown.

I tried to replace those with the original S3 boot and shutdown animation. I succesfully did that with the shutdown as that was just replacing one simple file.

Now with the Boot animation, I dont know what happened. I get the standard Samsung Galaxy S3. example:

After this image there is no animation. Just the black screen with the sound. I tried using the flashable zip here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27914644 but that did not work too.
