[Q] When is it coming back? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there an ETA on when the Nexus 4 will be available again? desperately want this phone D:

Never. It was a limited edition of only 1337 phones made.
On a serious note, no one knows. Could be tomorrow, could be January, February, don't know. Just read up on android websites and they'll post something when they hear that it's available.

ebay...thats how I got mine...

I worry sometimes about buying brand new phones on ebay. Where's the warranty if you need it?

[Q] will we have a 'chance for change' ?

Do you think that Google will let us return our 1st gen nexus 7 ( both 8GB & 16GB) and get new one ( with a little money more)?
I hope it will happen....
Doubtful, it's business.

No, get over it.
Beamed from my Grouper.
Why would they want to do that? It's not defective only because there's a new version.

I don't think so. But it would be pretty awesome if they did.
If your purchase was within a few days I'm sure it can be negotiated with the retailers, within their return/exchange policy, but that affects only a few people who didn't know about the new releases. I've got a 16gb, but drooling over a 32gb/3G... If I want one, I'll have to fork out another $250... C'est la vie.
They are all "first gen" nexus 7's. Larger storage and 3G don't require an apology from Google, you knew the device you bought didn't have those things.
No. You gave them money in return for a product which they gave you, you knew what you were buying at the time and it's YOUR fault if you're unhappy with it. People need to stop whining about this, seriously

How long will we have to wait for 4.2??

Hi all,
the nexus 7 is my first nexus device (although I am drooling at the nexus 4 ),
but I was just wondering if anyone else, who has owned a different nexus device, could tell me how long you normally have to wait for the next version of android?.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Some of the features will be available on the Nexus 7, some won't and you'll need to get a whole new device costing a small fortune to get the full update. It might break things along the way without giving you a way back.
....but then I remember it's Android and not Apple!

..... I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say here.
Being part of the whole Nexus line, there's a good chance we'll get 4.2 pushed out when the Nexus 4 and 10 get released. Google will be keen to have its flagship line all under the same version.

I agree. Google made it pretty clear (to me at least) that the Nexus line will be receiving the 4.2 update. There was absolutely no mention of Nexus 7 not receiving certain aspects of the update. I would say that Nexus 7 would receive the update the same day the 4 and 10 are released as well.

This is a joke for you guys who don't get it. All Nexus devices get updated I think. I think even old ones like the Nexus S and all that.
Lol well if he meant it as a joke it didn't read like one. Especially since a new device owner was asking about something he deemed a legit concern. If it was meant as a joke then my fault.

I agree. Pretty dumb answer to someone asking a legitimate question.
Google was supposed to release the 4,2 update on October 29th, but according to Asus it has been delayed ever so slightly.Asus says to expect an update to android 4.2 very soon.

My friend is still on stock N7 and got the update within a week. My dad is still on his stock S3 and the update won't come till next year.
Edit: I'm referring to 4.1.2 and 4.1.

I think you are confusing 4.1.2 with 4.2.
As far as I know, no one will have 4.2 before 13 November.

Expect android 4.2 on November 11th to November 12th on the nexus 7
Hi,
Thanks heaps guys, as long as we with the n7 arnt left in the lurch for weeks after the update comes out on the n4
My friend has a nexus s, and he had to wait a few weeks after 4.1 was released before he got it, but our devices are newer I suppose
Thanks

Unless you sideload, don't expect it on the 13th. OTA rolling updates can take up to a couple of weeks.

Got a reliable source on that? I'm guessing no because it's not true. Google has never released an OS on the day it was announced, and when they announce a new device, they never release the OS for older hardware until the new device is available. So the correct answer is to expect the update in the weeks following the N4/N10 release. Hopefully it will be out within a week, but it can take longer.
Google has said they will start rolling out 4.2 from Nov 11th, 2 days before new devices release.

[Q] Missed Nexus 4 in Canada again! What should I do?

OK so I was at work and missed the chance to get the nexus 4 again! Supposedly gonna take 7-8 weeks now to ship according to mobilesyrup. NOw if I do get the chance to get the Nexus 4 again in a couple weeks, I will recieve it in March or Feb. My question is that is it worth it to get a November phone in Feb? Now I have a **** lg xenon and gossip which I could last out till next year for the Nexus 5, or I might get the s4. Should I wait?
What is expected from Nexus 5 and S4
-1080p screen
-10-12mp camera
-2ghz processor estimate
-2gb ram or maybe 2.5-3gb
-5inch screen
-Quad core maybe more?
Overall I think the smartphone as we know it is going through a transition phase so should I wait? I don't have enough money to get a new phone every year like some people. I buy a phone for 2-3 years. Will I be stuck with old technology with this phone?
-WHAT THE FUUDGE SHOULD I DOOO????
Mod please move to q&a if you think that is were it should be!

You're asking us for advice to speculate on a phone that is unreleased (better yet, a year away)?
Yes, get the Nexus 5. Historically, a newer Nexus is better than an older Nexus. Might need confirmation on that though.

I was going to say nexus note. The nexus version of the galaxy note that could be soon.

Only you can answer the question of whether you should wait. In Feb the nexus 4 will still be a great phone. Is only 3 months old on 2/13. You seem to think your current phone will last to next November for nexus 5. If you think that just wait.
In the end you have to use the device, no one can tell you what to like or what works for you. My wife thinks I'm insane buying a new phone every year. I don't, I like upgrading to the new nexus or whatever the new stock android experience is. Been that way since g1. Just what I like. Others will say go buy a note 2. Since this is the nexus forum you'll find no shortage of posts about how great the nexus 4 is.
Oh, please stop bumping the thread, it's annoying.

Should I buy it.

Hi everyone am sorry to post. New thread but I need some open ions please ..is the nexus 4 good ..its good on paper but is it good in real ..many people say it has low build quality and the screen issue..I know its kinda cheap but my LG p920 was a cheap high end device and people also said its bad but I have had for a year and I love it ..so please reply with openions

Its a great phone....if you get a working one before the next one comes out. I ordered on November 13th, received it on the 29th. The radio was bad so i requested an RMA. Still waiting with a second 350 dollars in googles hands until they decide to ship the device... I love android, and Googles apps and services (except calendar) are great but i don't think i'll risk buying a physical device from them again.
If you're posting this just to have a better justification on buying the phone. Just do it because all posts will be biased. If you post on the one X forum and asks if you should get it they will obviously tell you to buy the phone.

Nexus 4 production stopped?

I just read that the nexus 4's production has been stopped by lg because they are working on a new nexus device. Has anyone heard anything about this?

if you read it online than most likely it's true...

It's true
The nexus device is supposed to be only 1 device supported by Google. Not create a whole line of nexus products to get rich off of, way to screw over the people who waited desperately for this phone and/or stuck in shipping limbo

This will be the single most outrageous thing I've ever read about a smart phone. The phone sells for two hours in total over like 4 months and they kill it for a new phone. They should have just haulted the N4 altogether.

That the most retarded site and article i ever read... It was so bad My PC cleared its own History and Cookies after loading the site.
well... nothing's really happened for a month outside of the US...
I highly doubt that is true since so many people are still waiting to buy it why would you stop selling it? And T-Mobile is said to start carrying it at every location.

Look everyone. This person talks common sense, and he does it in a thread without any.
XDA may catch fire.
They are assuming a lot in that article...i dont doubt that LG may be working on the next nexus but the writer takes the leap from a quote that says LG is going to release it's next gen phone at WMC to it being the next nexus. I bet LG is going to be releasing some new Optimus phone but not the N4 successor. Even the writer states that the halt in production are just rumors. LG barely launched the nexus 4 as is, maybe they are working on a 5+ inch Nexus. Here's to hoping there's going to be a nexus 5, 6, 8, and 9 to complete the nexus line.
Well duh obviously LG is gonna show off some prototypes and tech at wmc. I'd be more worried if they didn't announce anything. Besides all the stuff from wmc well be lucky to see in stores by Q4.

Nahh... Not gonna happen. LG just can't keep up that's all..
I was more interested in the get rich quick penny stock article. Or maybe the other sensationalistic crap on that site. Too bad I can't get back the two minutes I wasted there...shame shame...
Sent from my Nexus 7
Uhm, this is essentially the content of the article: "rumours have it that the company seized the production of the smartphone to focus on the development of its future offerings", the rest is just a speculation.
If "rumours have it" == "it's true" then yeah, we will see the new nexus phone next month, sure.
Lol. Just lol.

LG called me directly,saying that Nexus 4 production is stopped cause all the people working at Lg's production lines is currently at the Bahamas,on the beach...
