[Nexus 4 General] krishnan.sri92:
For me it's just been a month old but i just got a news that nexus 5 will be priced same as nexus 4 . and the launch is in October . so have I been fooled :( wrong timing to buy nexus . wish I had waited a little long :( heart broken
[Nexus 4 General] twowheeler:
Are you serious?
[Nexus 4 General] krishnan.sri92:
Yeah :( I saw this news in drippler app though it covers the Wii or rumor but have seen it many times . but am just scared . I don't want to be that unlucky one :/
[Nexus 4 General] failly:
You're not the only one, I also bought it last month.

But hey, even if the nexus 5 gets released in october? I mean look at how powerfull the N4 already is, It's still smooth with all games and it will be smooth for some years for sure(Implying that the N5 will have better hardware).

I'm still happy I bought the N4 even if the N5 got released today.
[Nexus 4 General] krishnan.sri92:
Oh thank God ... Your first line brought life to me. But why I felt like that was because we period the same price for a hardware which will be transformed totally in the coming version. Nexus 5 gonna have 13.5 mp camera 2.3 GHz processor . it's already smooth imagine with the above specs then... Am sure this change in the hardware with same pricing isn't fair enough .
[Nexus 4 General] failly:
That's of course true but I think it's just bad luck :p.

13,5mp would be nice but 2,3ghz would be overkill imo...

Maybe you can sell your nexus and add some money and go with the n5?
[Nexus 4 General] krishnan.sri92:
Dude !! That's what !! Bad luck and nothing else . just hope that people around the world should be aware of this fact and hopefully there aren't people who have plans to buy n4 now :p
[Nexus 4 General] failly:
Haha indeed :D
[Nexus 4 General] xFloTK13:
Still pretty amazing phone. No visible scratches or anything Mike that. Everything works fine ;)

[Nexus 4 General] qwahchees:
Scratches all around the corners and dents, micro scratches on the screen and back but I refuse to get a case. Maybe a few screen protectors, but that's it. Using a phone and bulking it up like a million dollars ruins the whole design and "prettyness" of the phone.

Performance wise, blazing fast and the battery is solid after some kernel/governor tweaking.
[Nexus 4 General] zcucurullo:
Just perfect. Have 4.3 running, xtremeguard full body protection, and a poetic borderline bumper. No scratches, no dings, perfect!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Dragooon123:
Epic, got mine in November and am still using it without any case, screen guards etc. Has a few scratches here and there but overall it's pretty solid still.
[Nexus 4 General] Cream$ickleHJ:
8 months here perfect condition
[Nexus 4 General] slickw:
6 months passed

newer used screen protector or case.

keep it in my pocket most of times and at desk on work.

it fell 4 times 2 of those wre straight to face from about half meter.

it has few barely visible scraches on front and a slight shatter on back glass near camera.

overall i would say its in good condition, battery life only improves over time coz of great improvements in rom and kernels development.

great phone. if i destroy it before nexus 5 comes out ill rebuy it :D
[Nexus 4 General] Ipse_Tase:
6 months, running PA 3.65 (4.2.2) + Franco 165 with old radio .33 to keep LTE.

Kinda disappointed with the xtremeguard protectors, switched to spigen - which is a fingerprint magnet. No easy way :)

Really happy with the phone so far - and the sentiment usually doesn't last this long with me :p
[Nexus 4 General] edians:
my N4 still looks brand new and works well:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Gemichi:
still running well with acceptable battery life. even on stable, the camera app crashed twice and reboot is needed. not sure if the kernel affects it or not...
[Nexus 4 General] pahardie:
My back glass is shattered but still attached to phone and holding in all the gubbins!!

Front in good order.

Works nicely with 4.3 so overall barring some slight mistreatment still happy with my nexus!
[Nexus 4 General] ijayesh:
4 days old new born :) if nexus 5 will come today I will not regret my decision coz it will be available in Indian market after 5-6 months of worldwide release :) quietly happy with my n⁴
[Nexus 4 General] Lucke:
perfect... 2nd wave purchase here and it still looks and feels brand new. it's been naked since day 1 without as much as a scratch on it :)
[Nexus 4 General] californicated:
It would be interesting to know if the power buttons are still clicking fine after several month of use without s2w and tc ;)
[Nexus 4 General] VOLTAGEROCK:
My power button still works fine since February and my volume buttons are rarely used. I use the volume control + app.

Sent using my etch a sketch: Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] DarthC:
Mine just developed the power button issue after about 8 months.

It is still usable, but kind of annoying sometimes. Can it be fixed?
[Nexus 4 General] Meangean:
I have had my Nexus 4 since the first batch and have a few line cracks on the back piece of the unit but the phone is doing well other than that.
[Nexus 4 General] snak3ater:
Clicking is fine here,i can hear the sound.But i have to press it twice to make it work.Sometimes it wont work if i press it lightly.Dont know what's wrong.I took so much care of my phone.Always treated power button gently but till it is breaking
[Nexus 4 General] NardVa:
I don't even use my power button to turn the screen on. I would recommend installing a custom rom like CM 10.2 or another rom that provides an option to use the volume rocker to wake the screen.

Use touchcontrol for all broken power buttons!!

Swipe rulezzz
[Nexus 4 General] InStereo:
Cosmetically the phone isn't too bad, few scratches here and there but only on the back, the front is perfect. The more i use the phone though the more I hate the lag of the Camera and the poor quality of the microphone.
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidKills:
had mine since january and its running perfectly. I have a few small scratches that are barely visible. I switch on and off with the cases because sometimes I'm feeling a bare nexus 4 which is so good to hold and sometimes I'm feeling like I might drop my phone hahah (ringke slim case)
[Nexus 4 General] AlleN7:
Today my Nexus 4 decided it liked to be dropped. I was pooping and I set it on the sink so I could wipe. As my other hand came around to get some toilet paper, i knocked the phone down. It survived because it had a TPU case one.

Then later I had it plugged into a stereo while lifting and my friend's hand catches the cable and my Nexus 4 slips out of my hand and the screen makes contact with the corner of a dumbbell. I had one of the wet-apply screen protectors and I could see where it landed. The screen was not cracked.

The Nexus 4 can take more abuse than I thought.
[Nexus 4 General] chlehqls:
I dropped it onto a concrete floor yesterday. It has some minor dings on the plastic bezel but looks good regardless.

I was so upset by it, since I never drop my tech.
[Nexus 4 General] danfalcas:
Use naked and with bumper... 100% perfect I don't know how people scratch gorilla glass, I had mint galaxy s2, gnex , sgs3 and N4.

Maybe micro dots of dust and sand.
[Nexus 4 General] twomix9900:
I never used cases on any of my previous phones and I'm generally pretty good at taking care of my phones, but I have few light scratches on the back and front. I guess the lack of gorilla glass doesn't help.

Now I'm using a case + screen protector.

I didn't think I needed faster processors when I played around with dual core S4, and I sure as hell don't think I need any better processor (or display for that matter) than the one on N4. I'd rather have a bigger screen + better battery life + sd card slot, but N4 is fine as is. I don't care about LTE.
[Nexus 4 General] ynnek63:
lol....sorry, that should have been Oppo Find 5.
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
Had mine since December, been rocking the N4 naked since then (no case+no protector) though im going to buy some soon. A few tiny scratches on the back(all scratches are in one spot, near the camera. Wonder whats making them :confused: ? ). A medium sized dent on the chrome bezel, and 2 micro scratches on the front.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny.ns:
Wet screen protector and a case, still as new. Haven't dropped it. Its rooted and running Francos kernel with stock rom :)
[Nexus 4 General] Mrboxfacetramp13:
Not Had mine for long ( 19 April) so thus it looks like i got it yesterday. However i dont like the look of the chrome bezel and reminds me of the "hyperglazed-plastic" on the back of the GS3 which got scratched with mere ease.

:cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] gee2012:
Got it mid december and using the Rearth Ringke Fusion Case and still in mint condition.
[Nexus 4 General] timhl7:
Got mine in December and still going strong. I miss how my fingers would just glide on the screen when it was new. Got some oleophobic replacement liquid but it doesn't last long. Anyone know of a nice screen protector that's super smooth?
[Nexus 4 General] jiayit:
Dropped my phone from about a metre high on the bezel, totally squashed the bezel. It acts as a lip for the phone now :p thank god the screen was not cracked.

Oh and the power button is dying too.

Considering that this phone is the first batch sold, it's doing great, and I use it naked.
[Nexus 4 General] FrankBullitt:
I just felt the need to make that quote a little bigger so everyone could read it again. ahah

That is waay to much information.

Also, I do the exact same thing.
[Nexus 4 General] ynnek63:
lol....I agree, TMI even tho we all do it!
[Nexus 4 General] jiayit:
I like to set my phone on my lap while I wipe my ass. It's just an accident waiting to happen :p

I like to keep my phone at least half a metre away from ANY water source (cups, etc) in case of water spillage. You never know what can happen!
[Nexus 4 General] zakoo2:
i have a screen protector on the back (this sounded strange :eek:) because i had a minor scratch only visible from certain angles at good light conditions, but wanted to prevent these things happening. otherwise it looks like brand new. :)
[Nexus 4 General] icecicle:
Got mine on release it just cracked on the top left corner and bottom left corner a little bit cause it flew out of my pocket while I was trying to pull a weed out. Little depressing but I can't notice it cause its not on the screen screen part but my power buttons starting to piss me off tho keeps being unresponsive
[Nexus 4 General] esigolo:
Just one scratch on the back !

Without cover or bumper
[Nexus 4 General] nbell13:
...No it doesn't... Why the hell are you talking about that phone anyway?
[Nexus 4 General] jiayit:
Because recently a video got uploaded to YouTube, and it claims that the Find 5 is the 'Best Android Smartphone', and many are comparing it to the Nexus 4, even the reviewer himself. So I guess he kinda thought about that lol.

Anyway, my Nexus does NOT lag, I have no idea what the heck are you doing with your phone.
[Nexus 4 General] DaveCosta:
Using mine with no protector or case... Very few mini scratches, and a dent in the silvery part from when it dropped a few steps on rock stairs... So, I'd say it's holding up very well!

Also, no problems with the poder button. Screen gets smoother when it's a little dirty, which is not cool!
[Nexus 4 General] amaectpo:
Nexus 4 fantastic after 6 months
[Nexus 4 General] Shark87:
Mine is just fine. I've mostly been using it with Distronic's TPU case as well as their slim case. So far the only physical damage its gotten are small scratches on the chrome. Flashed Paranoid Android just last week and I've been loving it so far.
[Nexus 4 General] Horridge:
Bought mine from O2 on the 22nd November. Front glass is still perfect, no scratches. I've got a few scratches on the back glass. A couple of dinks and scuffs on the plastic and silvery part. Still loving it, no complaints. Been using Cyanogen from the beginning really. Love the battery life, I wouldn't call myself a heavy user, so I can go for days without charging.
[Nexus 4 General] tanjiajun_34:
On benchmark results, it's doing good. Maybe cos Nexus 4 throttles too easily due to heat issues I guess, or our expectation is too high for the Adreno 320 :/
[Nexus 4 General] jameski182:
Still rocking and kicking
[Nexus 4 General] trek85002010:
My Nexus 4........ as new. I bought it in November :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
I'm on my 3rd Nexus 4, but that's because my first one was defective, and my 2nd one got the red light of death and would no longer boot up. I never scratched any of them though.
[Nexus 4 General] androidfoshizzle:
Getting ready to unroot
[Nexus 4 General] regP:
Holding up great. Not a single scratch on either side. Also, PA is more stable here than it is in the One X so I couldn't be happier with this phone.
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
In very good condition, using naked with a dBrand on the back and a pouch dropped it a few times but no sratches scared to take the dBrand skin off to see if glass broken or not but I doubt it is broken.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisrozon:
Buncha dings on the bumper, the phone itself is doing great.
[Nexus 4 General] NardVa:
Still have the original screen protector on the front and back. I'm scared to take them off.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
Two small dents on the chrome and a long horizontal scratch midway through the screen but im noticing that the oleophobic coating is wearing off in the corner. Is anyone else having this problem I want to exchange it if it's defective since it's starting to spread more and more
[Nexus 4 General] avrillapete:
I have a patch in the middle of the screen, where I keep my thumb most of the time, that's almost devoid of olephobic coating. If I wipe the screen with a microfiber cloth once, the entire thing will be clean except this one patch. I'm not sure if I should look into exchanging it, or try the olephobic recoat kit available on amazon, ifixit gave a how-to with it and the photos make it look real good.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
The thing is the coating shouldn't wear away so fast. My bro has had a s3 since last year and its perfect so is my dad's note2 I'm sure those phones have the oleophobic coating as well
[Nexus 4 General] teambestyrandy:
Yes the oleophobic liquid covering should last quite a long time. The reason for it to fade fast is if you ever used chemical spray on it such as windex or you left it in the sun for awhile. I would suggest just using water and a micro fiber wipe to cleanse your screen afterwards. My nexus 4 is in very good conditions after 5 month no case or screen protector
[Nexus 4 General] moses992:
Th oleophobic coating on my screen is starting to wear off on the left side of the screen too. Has anyone tried the oleophobic applicator thats available on Amazon ?
[Nexus 4 General] SefEXE:
6 months already? :eek:

Wow, I didn't realize I've had it for so long. The chrome has a few scratchs and one ding, that I think it came with... and the oleophobic coating isn't as good anymore, but other than that it's great.

I use a case from time to time, but the nakedness of the phone is just too nice.
[Nexus 4 General] Underground_XI:
Perfectly well!
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Still looks mint, still loving it.
[Nexus 4 General] Verro3:
Hahaha. Same here!! Bought in February
[Nexus 4 General] Q.Entity:
Six months indeed. Held very well. Not a scratch. Since 3 weeks ago is being used as a development phone since I am now using Xamarin and Dot42. So it is mostly Xperia ZL but last weekend the ZL was hosed so the N4 got neck as primary.

Sendt fra min ZL 6506
[Nexus 4 General] biggiestuff:
Glass is perfectly fine but the gaps and speaker grill have picked up lint that's hard to remove.
[Nexus 4 General] mark manning:
Mine is great still!! I got it from T-Mobile the day it was released. It has survived 3 big falls and numerous lil ones. Not a single scratch, I've been lucky. Although there is a few dings I'm the side but that is to be expected with a drop on to cement. I was running CM for a while but went back stock. Couldn't take the bugs anymore and nothing compares to the smoothness of stock.
[Nexus 4 General] mantrajt:
Mine behaves well, nice performance, cm 10.1 ....trinity kernel..and some disturbing queaking sound near the bottom...of course some scratches in the front and back due to the use of no screen protector (at both ends) and using a bunker...pretty happy right now

Got it from tmobile as a birthday present from me to me lol and got a case and screen protectors..still in perfect condition...sometimes I like to use it without a case...like when i go to a bar or restaurant..people approach me to ask what phone is it....a lot of people dont know about it....after getting it some co workers decided to get one and they say is one of the best phones they have ever owned.

Loving it!
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
Mine held up pretty well....used scrfeen protector and bumper, but exchanged it last week because the headset volume started getting low. Exchange process was simple and fast (probably since the demand has slowed down). The new phone has a louder volume.
[Nexus 4 General] BrutalUK:
Mine's still in A1 condition, no scratches, dents etc. Though I will admit it has had a new screen fitted after it slipped out my pocket onto the road. Has a screen protector fitted front and back.
[Nexus 4 General] kBTWOFOUR:
My Nexus 4 is still in mint condition.
[Nexus 4 General] zolah:
Currently away for repair due to a part of the screen deciding it didnt want to recognise touches anymore.

Other than that its still rapid and in mint condition.
[Nexus 4 General] letom:
My coating started wearing off on the from after 2 months so I had to get a screen protector for the front, noticed recently that at the back its also coming off on the spot where my fingers are when I usually hold my phone when I swing it around. Not really sure what to do tbh :confused:, though I'm not that bothered...
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
I have a bumper and dual protectors so it's all good, but I want a flip case now.
[Nexus 4 General] haikus.hiatus:
bought it on Dec 21st, got 2 dings on New Year :( but everything looks so good. no scratches anywhere
[Nexus 4 General] bustem:
My nexus is 6 months old. I was using a TPU case for all that time till I noticed the dust between case and the phone was scratching all my chrome so I took it of and on that day it fell on to the street:D Screen didnt crack luckily but now Ive got massive scratches on every corner. The good thing is I dont have to look after it anymore:p

Oppo find 5 is a phone by a Chinese manufacturer which uses similar hardware as N4 and is pretty sturdy. There is video by oppo in which they use the phone as a hammer to drive a nail through wood.

This phone has got official CM support so you get AOSP goodness too.

[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Got mine in the first batch and its held up pretty well. Minor Knicks on the chrome but no scratches or anything. Unfortunately my WiFi and cell radio has been crapping out so I had to do an RMA :(

I thought it was just a nearby tower down but after 2 months of trying different carriers and Sims, it turns out my radio gave out. Sucks too because I've been sending out résumés for work so who knows how many calls I may or may not have missed due to no signal.
[Nexus 4 General] alfonzo1955:
Threw a case and screen protector on mine the day I got it. Still looks brand new when I wipe the dust off.
[Nexus 4 General] Arman9953:
mine looks like brand new :))))
[Nexus 4 General] anwedr:
Installed a skinomi screen protector since day 1, add a official bumper a month later, and my phone still looks good as new. Dropped it twice on hard wood and no dents. However after removing the bumper every night, it does cause some scratching around the earpiece.
[Nexus 4 General] bobbytomorow:
Bottom 1cm of display non responsive to touch, bringing it in for RMA today
[Nexus 4 General] humjaba:
Got mine in November shortly after it came out. I've had a diztronic case with skinomi screen protector on it for most of that time. The corners of the screen protector always come up but i've pretty much given up on that. Phone is in great shape, other than sometimes it decides it wants to kill the battery in 8 hours. Curse you, kernel wake locks..
[Nexus 4 General] bobbytomorow:
I wish I could change my vote, within the last week part of my digitizer has failed and the mic has now failed...phone is unusable and LG is putting the onus on my carrier aka LG is of no help. First and last LG handset I ever buy :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
You bought your nex 4 through t-mob? They will usually replace..

Pretty rare for those things to just stop working like that without a big drop our a heavy overheat. They will take care of it I'm sure seeing as Google has a year warranty on this I believe.

I bought mine in November (second batch).. Got my order in on day one but was back ordered.

I bought a .79 case through amazon and my phone is still perfect. Not a scratch on it. It is with my 24/7 too.

Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!
[Nexus 4 General] gotzaDroid:
This thread jinxed me! After I posted that I had no issues I fell asleep sitting up and the phone dropped out of my hands. The glass is fine, but I got two nice sized dents in the bezel, enough to lower the resale value!
[Nexus 4 General] jiayit:
/tries to muffle my giggles

I posted that my bezel was dented, is the thread gonna repair my dent since the dent was transferred over to you? :P
[Nexus 4 General] omnius1:
I love that case, I was amazed at how good it is for such a steal price
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
Looks perfect. Runs well. Battery sucks. That's about it. I work on Saturdays in a place with no WiFi but otherwise perfect cell strength and with GPS off my battery drains a lot. I do a bit of redditing and use Twitter while at work but never more than 30 min of screentime in an 8 hour shift and by around 8-9 PM the same day my phone is usually on it's last legs with like 20% or so battery left.

Yeah so apart from the battery it's great.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
Had the phone since the beginning of the 2nd week, dropped once around the first month of owning it, and had a huge crack on the back, as if someone shot it. Went 3 weeks without the Nexus 4 and after I got it back, has been scratch free and drop free. Still love the Nexus 4, but my main problem is the lack of an SD slot. My second main problem would be how fast the battery drains. Otherwise, I don't have many problems with it. Just got to deal with those 2 problems. Phone is rooted, but still running stock ROM (don't know why I haven't changed to Paranoid yet).
[Nexus 4 General] gotzaDroid:
Ha!
[Nexus 4 General] kevinnol:
Feels and looks like I just bought it.( Screen protector on the back)

Got two scratches on my screen when I was still waiting for my bumper to be delivered... :( I actually don't know how I got them, but it happend on new years eve so I was drunk haha, I don't remember anymore..

But other than that, it works like a charm and I'm still extremely glad that I own this beautiful phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Janne79:
Got my N4 2 days after its release. No case or some other protection. Some scratches on the back, none on the front. But the "chrome" doesn't look that good anymore. My N4 survived a 1m drop to concrete, my heart almost didn't.
