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.

Let me start of by saying I personally like the bumper. Not as good looking as the official bumper, but it does the job and looks fairly nice. The only issue I am having is the fact that the rubber in the bumper tends to separate after a while. Seems like a classic you get what you pay for situation, being that its only 10 USD. Just letting everyone know before you decide to get it.

There are already multiple inquiries of this. Contact Poetic so they can issue you another bumper. Their first batch was apparently defective.

in my situation, i got 6 free, 3 original broke, 3 first replacements broke, have 3 more on the way! lol
While its great that they replace them, it does show a lack of quality in the product. Im surprised there isnt more people selling their own bumpers on ebay etc
6 bumpers.!
Cool story bro

Did you make that up?? That is hilarious! Or did you just take it from one of the other 50,000 threads it is in?
Thats good to hear but im quite curious why would you ever buy the same continually defective case six times?

I think people only post if there is a problem with the phone...
That why you only see post about people being unhappy with it..
Most of the time, people wouldn't post anything about the phone if it's working fine/happy with it..
But then you do get the occasionally positive/*this phone rocks* reviews :victory:
I end up selling my N7 after awhile I got my Nexus 4... cause is such pain getting game saves around.. !
Getting mine today :good: First things to do: unlock it, flash recovery and SU and off course Franco kernel. Had it before and liked the phone, the only bad thing about this phone is the camera quality and the washed out colors out of the box.

You will not regret buying this phone, and a custom kernel should increase batterylife quite a lot. And you can set the colors to your own liking
As far as reports of problems go, there are just as many in the Nexus 7 forums. People with issues are simply more vocal.
I for one am finding this phone to be a perfect companion to my Nexus 7 and it's also as near to a flawless specimen as I could have hoped.

Okay I been reading up more on this phone and I can't find a good reason not to get it. Price is great specs are solid and the support and development are going to be off the charts. I'd like to know what case to get, I have been using otter box on past phones but wanna try something different.

To be fair, most of the people in this forum are nexus 4 fanatics, so our opinions may be a bit biased
That being said, this phone is AWESOME.

I would honestly suggest a soft gel/rubber case.. Hard cases ruined my hox, too much pressure to get them on, ended up breaking some ribbon on the board, so the screen won't turn on unless the housing is partially removed.. Which is how I have to use this phone until I fix it or order a nexus 4 if its not fixable for free/really cheap.
The only thing I'm losing is LTE. Which I don't use/rarely use as it is
You should if you can get it for $350 at Play Store. I'm happy with it, very good price for a good phone. If you can live with no LTE, non removable battery, no external SD card, somewhat low/tinny speaker output volume and just average camera quality you'll be happy with it.
I would buy it again. The price is unbeatable. If you can live with the lack of OTG (Which may be fixed eventually) and camera quality then you'll love it. I think the washed out colours thing is due to peoples love for very saturated screens. As I said in another thread, take a photo of something, look at it on the screen, if it's brightly covered in bloom, then it's over saturated. Just because the Nexus 4 is less saturated doesn't mean it's washed out.
All right just ordered it from Google. Can't wait! 388.00 total but that's cheap compared to the other ones I've had bought. Not to worried about the camera I have a camera for that. I'm still not sure on what case but thinking gel case something that won't scratch it n can clean up n not bulky. I don't know what plan to go with being in northern Mn there's not too many options.

I have been driving myself nuts with this question. I have a note 2 now that I love but I am also thinking about getting a nexus so I can have something to play around with mods and getting into developing. I have At&t so swapping the simple won't be a problem.

Well I got mine about a month ago and I love it. Even more so than my s3. Not worried about lte cuz it's not around here anyway and it does lack storage but I been using drop box. I haven't rooted it yet tho I am fine with it the way it is. No issues with it at all. Beautiful phone with great features and price. They got it right with this one. Love it.

If you can live with a phone that has 3 hours of screen time, meaning that you don´t go from 8am to 8pm, meaning that you have to do 2 full charges every day, go for it
i´m returning mine
I recently got it and I absolutely love it.
Things to consider though:
1. no SD CARD, got the 16GB version and im still struggling with space.
2. battery life is below average, I'm coming from a Motorola defy which had much better battery life.
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

My wife is pi$$ed at me. Not sure why, I've been saying I'm going to buy a Nexus 7 once the new ones came out. I even told her when I left Saturday night that I was going to Best Buy to get the Nexus. I think I may have even arranged the sale of my ipad mini. Maybe she's just j-ing.

Well what's almost as good is when your wife is supportive of you taking a 50 mile drive to pick up one of the only 32gb models available in my area at best buy. Before we got married, like a month into the relationship, my wife bought me an Xbox 360 with second controller and a couple of games. This was years ago but I still get surprised with nice beer purchases and a couple of instances of her "peer pressuring" me into buying various guns for myself because "you deserve it."
