That's what I thought initially, but I don't think so. The solder points for the flex cable antennas are smaller than the contacts the OP is pointing out.
I busted this part but the phone still works so I'm trying to figure it out

Does your speaker still work?
It definitely is antenna. Not sure which one...
From IFixit:
Standing out on the board:
Several rows of pressure contacts connecting the antennas to the logic board.
The vibrator motor for...well...vibrating.
8 Megapixel camera sensor.
Battery connector.
The other side of the board is about as featureless as it can be.
Speaker works fine just missing one of those contacts but don't know what its for

I've had them break at work and no one ever knew the difference. I'll take a look under the back housing tomorrow just to see.
Thanks alot I would appreciate any feedback

Yea, you were right after all. Good to know, as I'm looking for the antennas to fix and sell my previous phone.
aimbdd: I hadn't come across that tear-down yet. That's a good one and will come in handy. Thanked.
Still no issues found

Do you use wifi Bluetooth and 4g? You probably don't notice because it is only one of the points at which that antenna connect to the phone.
Yep all working well

you really won't have any issues man, it's just one of like 4 places the antenna connects to the motherboard. i've seen several like that and until now, none have reported issues.
Thanks a lot man

So I just got back from best buy and I noticed that their nexus s 4g display model had a more silverish, dark grey battery cover. Has anyone else seen this? I know mine is black but I thought it looked pretty cool.

Interesting. But why would Google change the design and not have this all over the news.

I have no idea. Ill take a picture next time. Maybe tomorrow? But it def. was different.
More silverish and seemed to have a little more texture.

Not all of them do. Reason I asked was just to see if anyone has one. Looked pretty sweet and was wandering if that was the only change.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Maybe the change in color/texture was from people touching it a lot and people's oils and dirt rubbed off the top layer?
Def. not. Ill try to take a picture tomorrow. It is a completely different back cover.
Pretty much the reason I am bringing this up is, because I'm curious to know if maybe this is a newer device/ model. Maybe fixing signal issues? Who knows. It could just be nothing but def. Interesting

This one had never been dropped. Tonight I was pulling it out of my pocket when some douchebag bumped me and it flew across the bar. Amazed the screen didn't crack but it broke my heart.

Bet the battery is missing contact with the points... Try a folded piece of paper between the battery and the cover.
Edited cause I suck at Swype!

Does anyone have any idea where the top part of the back plate is removable? Seems a little weird as there isn't anything under it.
My only thoughts are that it could be a place to store the SIM if they bring out a 3G version, or its for some sort of official case which would clip into this
its for the case to attach on dude

I always use my headphone jack but im very careful not to shove it in. All of a sudden the other day I tried to plug in my headphones and it wouldn't go all the way in! What happened? Can I still RMA my nexus or do i have to pay?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I have found my jack to be a pretty tight fit. Are you sure you are using enough pressure to insert the plug all the way? It is fairly substantial as 3.5mm jacks go.

I tried shoving it almost as hard as I possibly can to no avail so I think it may be broken D:

I was terrified mine would break. It's insane how much effort it takes to get that bad boy in there.

Well, an RMA is worth a try. The worst they can say is no. Call them.

Do you have a number? I can't seem to find it and their RMA support email doesn't list the Nexus 4 as an option. Thanks

Look inside and see if there is anything in there?
Try their tech support. If they can't help you they can direct you to the right place.

See there.
The two brass contact points just to the bottom-left of the battery. It's a Samsung galaxy S3 sgh-I747 (AT&T)
I haven't put my multimeter on them yet, but willing to bet they are charging ports.if so I'm going to try to make a docking station for it.
Thanks in advance.

Does the s3 have nfc capability? Those look quite a lot like the connections to the backing where the nfc is actually mounted.

Yes it does have nfc built in. But this hardly looks like an antenna to me.

The antenna would be on the back cover, those are just the connections between the phone hardware and the antenna on the back.
Sent from my HTC One SV using xda premium
That would make sense, except that the back cover of the S3 is just plain flimsy plastic.

hi dude,
thats for wireless charging, dude! if have a back cover so u can do that
^ is right. That's for WiQiQi Wireless Charger Kit, there's a video.
