Got my replacement yesterday. It was a 301 and my first was a 212 (Both rev_11)

301 has a lot less light bleed than my 212 and is less visible at high brightness compared to the 212. It still has a little bit but not as bad as the 212. The backlight bleeding on the 212 was really not that bad in my opinion until I saw them side by side, then it looked pretty bad (my gf actually noticed a difference and she never notices stuff like that)

No rattles in the 301 but didn't have them on the 212. I RMA'ed the 212 because of a ground issue with the headphone jack(301 seems ok).

Also want to mention they were set up EXACTLY the same. I had restored the latest back up from my 212 onto my 301. Everything was a mirrored image.

The 212's display seems a bit brighter but the colors on the 301 seem more vibrant and richer(again, both set up the same exact way, same rom, apps, kernel, brightness, color settings etc..)

No yellow stains or blotches on either.

Everything else on the 301 seems ok so far
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Exactly however my faulty one was 301k which is a bit weird to me the new 301k is bit yellowish also vibration is a bit stronger
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
How hard do you think it would be (if even possible) to fix the light bleed if I dissembled the phone?
[Nexus 4 General] Nuu~:
Not breathing for 15 minutes and surviving would be easier.
[Nexus 4 General] markeas:
How do you find out the build date?
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
301K means:2013 (3), januari (first month 01) , build in Korea (K).
[Nexus 4 General] DeadSOL:
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, come back to the Galaxy S3! Come ooooooooon; you know you want to! :D
[Nexus 4 General] markeas:
Yup I understand that part but how do you find out when it was made? is there a menu or something?
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
There is no exact and specified build date afaik, only the year, month and location.
[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
He isn't asking about the date. What I think he is asking is, from where did we get to know about the build date..as in where its written.

It's written on the box and also there was a link where you could find the build date and stuff about your device.
[Nexus 4 General] clockcycle:
newer doesn't mean better

I don't know about you guys, but my experience with hardware revisions have usually been that they tend to use cheaper sourced materials/ components. Which doesn't usually translate to "better".

Sure they may incorporate "fixes", but it's almost never an "upgrade"..

YMMV..
[Nexus 4 General] K0nn4:
I think that you can find exact build date using this: h ttp://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI
[Nexus 4 General] brpqzme:
I've heard that the newer 301k models have a better screen (due to more vibrancy). Not sure how true that is..
[Nexus 4 General] graffixnyc:
Hahaha I have both and still use both. :) as a matter of fact have my gs3 in my pocket now. Lol
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Some insider info,

The 304K or above will slice bread and make toast for you. If you have KLP update it will also make Greek yogurt.

I have the 301k. I haven't seen any nexus 4 other than mine, but yes, I don't feel like my screen is washed out, like what everyone is saying. Soo maybe my screen is more vibrant, or there is something wrong with my eye =D
[Nexus 4 General] Zainiak:
guys, relax. its a phone! use it to call people. done. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] nawoa:
The "rattle" you're describing is probably the camera's motion stabilization system... so in reality, if it's not there, that's a defect. You're just confusing people, OP.
[Nexus 4 General] Will of fire:
How do you check which one you have?

Nvm found it
[Nexus 4 General] Simmo3D:
And your on XDA just to share stories of all the excellent phone calls you have had using a Nexus 4? I think not. :p
[Nexus 4 General] Shaldy:
I wish i had that 'defect'. The rattle is annoying as hell, also my Galaxy Nexus and Iphone 4 didn't have it.
[Nexus 4 General] dimi22:
Noticed some backlight bleeding today. Is that normal for this screen? will a replacement help? anyone else seen this?

And notice the buzzing sound in the earpiece. got 301 v11..... that is what i hate the most.

Then i got the buzzing charger also very cheap and annoying.

oh yeah before i forgot to say the phone get warm very quick on simple tasks and outside temp is 5 degrees celcius here......

So overall i need to change my view on this phone! build quility is poor.
[Nexus 4 General] cloney:
How do you know which Rev. you have? 301k or 212k? Where do i find out?
[Nexus 4 General] Shaldy:
Boot into fasboot mode, your rev is displayed there.
[Nexus 4 General] drmclove69:
I have the same exact phone build and am experiencing all 3 things you are.
[Nexus 4 General] Fihlvein:
I've owned 212K for a month now, and I received a 301K some days ago.

Initially I did a close comparison on display quality and camera. I used a exact same nandroid of Android 4.2.2 with CM10.1, and I flashed factory 4.2.2 images for both before restoring the nandroid. So the software should be quite comparable.

Display: In general, there is no major differences. When compared side-to-side, the 212K was a tiny bit brighter at maximum brightness, but that was pretty much the only difference I noticed. There seemed to be no difference in color reproduction.

Camera: I took a few simultaneous test shots side-by-side, and the 301K image was always tiny bit warmer. Whites were noticeably whiter with 212K. The detail quality e.g. shooting something that had written text was almost identical. I would probably prefer the 212K camera due to the fact that I liked the whites more, but in the end they were enough identical that I don't really care.

Power & volume rockers: on my 212K basically my power button is too stiff. You have to press it quite hard and there is no clear button feedback when it activates. I don't really like it, although it's a good thing it's not too loose... like the volume rocker in my 212K. It makes creaky noise when adjusting, and it wobbles quite a lot sideways. On 301K the power button feels much more natural. There's a button press feedback clearly indicating when it's activated, albeit I'm not sure whether it's going to get looser and creaky in time. The volume rocker on 301K feels really good as well, but time will tell whether it will loosen up as well. These button quality differences could simply be the variation in build quality in all revisions and not really something directly related to these two revisions.

For both of my units 212K and 301K I don't have any light bleed, any earpiece buzz, yellow tint, extra rattle (both has similar rattle which is the normal camera focus mechanism related), and both units are sturdy in general meaning no creaky sounds in any parts of the back or display.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
I've had backlight bleeding on 4 phones, so I really doubt it.
[Nexus 4 General] arzbhatia:
Totally OT but could anyone tell me what's the boxy texture on the screen of the phone? You can see it when the screen is off.

A
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
Thats the digitizer. And no that doesnt mean you have a defect, its on all N4s. The reason its visible is probably the "zero gap" technology used in this phone.
[Nexus 4 General] arzbhatia:
Ah! Thanks mate :)
[Nexus 4 General] diegozz:
301K v11 here. Very slight buzz in earpiece that does not worth a RMA... have the camera rattle as normal, and a perfect, gorgeous screen without bleeding, yellow spots, etc. The charger buzz as well... very cheap charger. Sorry for my english.
[Nexus 4 General] dreamsforgotten:
I have a 301k with 0 light bleed, no rattling, no creaking etc. Phone seems to function 100% for me. Been using it for a few weeks the Bluetooth doesn't have a buzzing sound its just poor audio quality I'm betting is in the software.
[Nexus 4 General] asb123:
I've got the rattle as well as earpiece buzzing on my 301K
[Nexus 4 General] brpqzme:
My 302K seems to be pretty much the same as my old 212K.. can't really notice any difference..
[Nexus 4 General] jlear3:
Got a 302k from rma, has 2 dead (always white) pixels in the navbar. Waiting for a pc to root it and check the processor binning, can't decide if I'll keep it or not.

Original phone is a 301k and it is pretty nice, just has a wave in one of the layers of the screen. Only noticeable in the perfect light/angle. 301k has a "fast" bin processor. Neither buzz or rattle or squeak or any of the common defects.

Edit: both have blobs of bleeding, but that's to be expected from an LCD
[Nexus 4 General] IRX120:
301K no issues except rattle
[Nexus 4 General] shroud27:
301K from RMA. Great colors, slightly visible digitizer, no creaks and no rattle surprisingly.
[Nexus 4 General] jlear3:
Oh just to update the RMA was a "fast" bin cpu as well. I would have kept it if it had faster and dealt with the dead pixels but not worth it seeing as its worse than the one I have now.
[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
No rattle? I guess its of the auto focus camera... As mentioned but many people here on xda.. then how come is not there on yours :-s
[Nexus 4 General] jlear3:
Mine will rattle if I tap the top of the phone on the back, not if I shake it. Neither bother me. It's not like it's a solid piece of glass. There's tons of tiny parts inside this thing and everyone's ovary acting Imo. (aka y'all on ur damn periods and whining about nothing :P)
[Nexus 4 General] rcklss1:
Love my 301k.. No issues at all with it
[Nexus 4 General] leader288:
Just want to check, is the earpiece buzzing only during calls?
[Nexus 4 General] lowtje:
Had a perfect 301k. Turned out not to be that perfect when I got the red light of death. Now a brick and waiting for the RMA. For info check the "Nexus 4 bricked :(" thread in general.
[Nexus 4 General] ciproxr:
I got mine last friday, overall pretty good, slight buzz in ear piece thats really hard to hear, minor rattling that again i can barely hear and my screen has somewhat of a yellow tint.

I think im gonna keep it, none of the issues bother me enough to take a change on having an even crappier unit
[Nexus 4 General] Sebz4n:
****. You guys just made me notice a bunch of extra problems Lol.

Ear piece noise, rattle when shaking, squeaky noise when applying pressure to back speaker
[Nexus 4 General] LadFromWales85:
I guess you didn't notice the speaker creak as you don't apply needless pressure there during the phones normal daily life! ;)
[Nexus 4 General] scottx .:
Hmm. I can hear mine. Tiny rattle when I shake it. 301.

Didn't notice till now.
[Nexus 4 General] shroud27:
I was surprised as well, there´s absolutely no rattle when shaked. Ive had 4 nexus 4´s and all of them had the rattle. This one has Only a tiny rattle if I tap on the top of the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] CiViCKiDD:
Mine is a launch day Nexus, was abused by my wife until she tired of it (battery life complaints) and I still don't see any issues you folks are talking about. I even have the "faster" version of this phone.

I must be lucky lol. A fresh wipe/install of the OS and Franco's kernel fixed the battery issues ;)
[Nexus 4 General] strikerdj2011:
mine has just got here about half hour ago all seems good its a 302k version
[Nexus 4 General] shadehh:
302k 1337 gang banger with the sack hanging here bro. I be tellin ya boo to hola at me. Just messing. To those who think rattling is a problem it is really nothing noteworthy. Have it on my 302k, but to notice it you really have to shake that thing and hold it to your ears. Same goes for creaking you won't find it , I bet you all phones creek, however, if you don't seek it you probably won't find it
[Nexus 4 General] filthykid:
Ditto

Yeah this rattle has NEVER bothered me. In fact, I like it and tap it more often to listen to the sound :D
[Nexus 4 General] CamoGeko:
Wow I got mine on March 11th as well lol :p

302k here working sweetly too :D
[Nexus 4 General] jlear3:
Newest phone is 302k and is perfect. It rattles but that's not a real issue. Minimal light bleed, no dead pixels, fast cpu

@filthykid

There is nothing wrong with this device i can tell you, i would recommend it to anyone. it is super fast, rock solid and has a great display and a good price. If you lay any phone under a microscope you will always find someone wining about something.
[Nexus 4 General] dmitryu:
Well, probably that's a matter of personal attitude. I really cannot see how one can sell or buy a phone with such issue. As I wrote in the other thread, a device, can have quite a few faults to be fixed later -- now everybody seem to work that way, for better or worse.

It can have more or less beautiful (or ugly) designs, more or less features, larger or smaller batteries/working time; it can have problems with data connectivity, it can have better or worse browser (or the lack thereof completely). I'm fine with the lack of text reflow in Chrome although that was surprising.

One thing a phone/communicator/PDA absolutely cannot do, provided its battery is not empty, is going into "sleep of death"-like states -- it just cannot serve its purpose then.

I cannot understand when people say "all Android phones need occasional resetting"... I still have HTC Desire HD running 2.7 version, which I do not reboot for months, probably years already. Probably things changed with 4.*? But then again, I do not understand -- basic reliability is probably the single function that the phone has to have out of the box, everything else is quite less important, so why don't LG & Google just concentrate all their mighty powers to fix that... :)

Surely that's too bad, since otherwise it seems to be really great device, I liked it.

I compared a 212K to a 302K and found some differences.

* 212K creaks on the spot right above the volume rocker, and 302k doesn't.

* 302K's screen is a little bit more saturated than 212K's.

* I feel it quite difficult to drag down the notification bar on 212K, (It fails many times, maybe some touch sensor defect on the border)

and it's quite easier on 302k.

Both are hw rev 11.

Hey does anyone know where to buy back doors for extended batteries?

Just got my extended battery and want a different door for it (phone is gray, door is white).

Preferably a black carbon fiber one.

Been searching for a while and can't find anything.

If anyone could help me out, would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You could order a textured carbon skin for the white door if you can't find the door alone. Amazon may have the extended battery cover. Try searching "galaxy note 2 extended battery cover" without the " and see what turns up otherwise I'd go with textured carbon fiber skin on the current battery door or maybe some black textured truck bed liner in a spray can that stuffs pretty tough and doesn't look bad if you spray it carefully you could even mask off around the logos if you want to keep them. Be sure to mask off the openings(camera, speaker etc) from the back and have an exacto/utility knife and some coarse to fine grit sand paper handy to keep the finish nice

Look at WWW.skinit.com and look under their textured category. Or look on amazon/eBay for 3m textured carbon fibre vinyl sheet. The sheet way you need to be pretty good with a razor and heat gun/hair dryer but it can cover so well you won't be able to tell its a skin
