I love mine. ...Some people have perfect devices. Some people have defective devices. And some people think they have defective devices after spending too much time in here.

Loll thanks. What do you use yours for?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2

Apps, email, web. Etc. It's not my only tablet, but I'm starting to like it more than my larger one.

Been playing with it for awhile. It is fantastic. Don't think about it, just buy it.

I have an iPad 2, as well as a N7 and I'll tell you the 7 inch form factor is so much easier to use in various situations and orientations. I really love mine'. Well I also got it for free since I was t Google IO =)

Mine was defective with a dead pixel, I got it replaced the next day. Great device.
I think the battery could be better, honestly it's around 20% now and I've been using it for around five and a half hours.

I've been using mine for over two hours straight, and I'm at 77%. Right where I should be. (auto brightness)

Might be because I've got blue tooth and wifi on. Played some riptide and Modern Combat 3 as well.

Gonna pull the trigger but...

I have been plugging away on my GS3 with CM10 and loving it. Really want the N7 but will going from 4.8 to 7 inch screen significantly improve the experience enough to justify two devices?

I have an Infuse with a 4.5 and it looks small in comparison, of course I have been using a Nook Color for a tab so I knew what I getting into with the 7". Using the keyboard in landscape mode is great!!!!!

As somebody who owns a GS3 I feel it was totally worth the buy. I primarily use my phone when I'm on the go. When I get home it is all Nexus 7 for me. The bigger screen makes it much easier to browse the internet with.

I was wondering the same thing. I have my GS3 running AOKP, which I love...but this tablet looked perfect. I have a 10" HP, which was a bit too big to be comfortable in bed and typing on it sucked. This tablet is perfect for me...and I just flashed AOKP!! Bought it today so I am still in love with it. I didn't think I was going to keep it...but I was very wrong. Go for it bro!!

Just in case you do need further reassurance, I also have a sgs3 as well as a Nexus 7. My phone is for on the go, and my tablet is more for gaming like asphalt 7 and such.

I haven't used my phone all night, other than to respond to text messages. This pad is perfect. I could not be happier. Worst case buy o e and try it out. You could always return it. I had almost every I intention of doing that since this was not in my budget...but its that good that I'm keeping it.

Yeah, I see at least 2 cm10 nightlies and a couple more based on cm10. Not sure what he's on about.

you'll be glad you got it. I keep my phone in my pocket all the time and have it Bluetooth tethering my n7. I use my tab to text, make calls, etc. Very rarely do I ever use my phone anymore.

I don't get it, when we have an HTC or Samsung phone, we go to great measures to remove the stock Ui and only dream to have a pure android experience on it.
This is exactly what we have here. A pure android experience. Not sure what you're looking for when you look for a custom rom on the N7?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Odd yeah? I just prefer the tweaks of cyanogenmod and it's launcher. Feels faster than stock.

Would the Nexus work with the Powermat

Do you think the Nexus would be compatible with this: http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/bundle...5_1352951281_943abe706d6d6b649f154f0e4db00ac9
Usually it requires powercubes, but because the Nexus is Qi compatible, does this mean we can use it without.

I believe not. Last time I checked Powermat have not made any QI compatible chargers.

As discussed in many Nexus 4 Accessories threads the Nokia one sometimes works but not always, the LG WCP-[something] does work and is on amazon, the Oregon Scientific time and charger works and as stated above the Energizer Qi mats work.
Take a look thru these threads.

Any reponse yet? odd they haven't announced this on their website

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

The description at the bottom states it comes with a universal power supply. That might mean it does have a US adapter.
Another thing I've noticed is I don't see a "qi" logo anywhere. Does that mean its not certified?

I'd buy this, I have a couple of their portable battery's, and they're great. Also their custom support is fantastic. A cable on one of my battery's broke completely my fault, and they sent in a new battery. I would also love to see a review!

If it doesn't work out amazon has a great return policy.

was from 16th dec to 16th Jan , guess they forgot to remove the message

Almost pulled the trigger but the power port's position seems really awkward, it should be on the opposite side imo

Which do you think is more worth it? This or the Zens one? They are both around the same price...

First time I don't feel like getting a new phone...

I usually switch phones every 4 months but since I got my nexus 4 I do not feel like getting rid of the nexus 4. Anybody else feels the same out there?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I do too. Except for the limited battery capacity, the phone feels great. You get to do what you like with it, no oem restrictions and always the first to get software updates.

I too am that type of person but I'm really enjoying the nexus!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Me too! I plan on getting a new one in 2-3 years but only if there'll be another amazing Nexus available

Pretty much this. I'll probably just stick with whatever the latest Nexus is.

Unfortunately I don't feel the same way. This HTC One is calling me and I must get it.

I was drooling over the HTC One when I first heard of it. But then I thought "Mine is better cuz it's cheaper, *****es".
(I still secretly love the HTC One tho. Please don't tell it to myself or I'll regret buying the N4)

i do... abit for the Z

The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.

Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched

Good luck with HTC. I just sold my HTC OneX+ after 4 months only. Just can't stand anything except stock Android.

Same here, N4 is perfect for my needs.
