So I'm planning to buy a N4, but I keep hearing about hardware revisions. Since in Hong Kong where I live there's no play store, I can physically access the phone in buying, can somebody tell me what are the differences in the revisions and how to tell them apart or locate it in the software?

When you go into the boot loader it will show what rev it is. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the first batch of nexi were batch 10? Mine is rev 11. Current is batch 12 with the new nubs and the rear camera more out (lens). Don't know the differences in the revisions, but I doubt its anything major.

So basically it's no big difference?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Yes, basically not much difference. Like supposedly rev 11 fixed the yellow tint from rev 10. Rev 12 is just the new nubs and camera lens more out.

And slightly better speaker.

The new ones with the nubs and camera change are still rev 11 though, aren't they? The rev number is the motherboard version and so has nothing to do with the screen.
Rev 12 includes a wireless charging change but as far as I know hasn't been seen in the wild yet.
To the OP - yes, no big difference, don't worry about checking whether a phone is a particular rev or not. Mine is rev 10 and it is perfect.

I can't be the only person to find this post ironic/funny. Come on guys. "Bump". That's exactly the hardware change implemented in the newest revision.

Who knows what the chances of getting it? I don't know how will we know the new revisions will get it. If you draw that lucky card, you might or might not get it.

You are over thinking it bro. Just buy the device already. It seems to happen when your battery is low and then suddenly turns off and when you want to turn it back on it shows a red light. Removing the battery resets the phone.

I got it while running antututu benchmark with overclock. Had to RMA it. I could only get into the bootloader but really nothing else. Even after flashing back the stock images with fastboot. I didn't want to open the back because it was easier to just get a new device. I think its just faulty hardware and it has something to do with the battery. When I used fastboot to check the battery voltage it just gave an blank output!
Thanks people

New lens? There isn't any new lens I guess. It's just the lens covering has become smaller. But that's same in all N4's that came since December.

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

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.

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.

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

My daughter was playing mine craft on it last night when it made white noises (the noise old TV's makes when its on a snow channel) screen went black with random snow flashing on the black screen. I reboot it and the Google splash screen pops up then snow again. I ordered it on opening day and never unlocked it or rooted it (no need IMO). Only device I haven't felt the need to put custom roms or kernels on.... just my opinion.
Has anyone else ever had this happen and who do I contact, obviously Google but what area?

To find out turn off phone. Hold up volume and down volume and power at the same time. Wait till a android dude pops up. At the bottom is your phone info! It should say your rev.

I'm sure if you find a way to port all the touchwhiz framework then it could be done. I know things similar to that have been done, for example I remember about a year and a half ago the sony xperia framework was ported to aosp, installable as a flashable zip. This enabled absolutely every proprietary xperia app/feature, like the xperia exclusive games, bravia engine, etc. on any phone running aosp-based firmware
Hmm....i think that would not be possible. Because N4 doesn't have that sensor.
But maybe i am wrong....

The S4 uses the front facing camera to detect eyes from my understanding. So it may be possible with the newest touchwiz framework.
