Recently my Nexus 4 got scuffed but I'm not sure how. Should I return the phone as it also rattles with minimal shaking and was made in January despite it being bought just around 4 days ago. This is the first phone I've scratched and I am horrified. It wasn't even me who did it, my mother dropped it while I was showing her it but no damage occured . The scuff then happened later for no apparent reason.
I love the phone and hate to lie and send the phone back but I could say it was also down to the rattling I was returning it?
What should I do?

Get it phone case and kick your brother's behind. LOL. No seriously, get a case or tell your brother to get you a case.
The rattle you hear I hear it on mine as well. I feel like a little baby. Goo goo ga ga
The rattle is normal, its the camera auto focus (or the sim tray). Google wont accept a damaged phone unless you really do the dirty on them and say it came like that.
Seems like everyone with OCD owns this phone.
We have guys shaking phones like a etch a sketch, pressing against the back glass trying to hear cracking sounds, looking at the phone from awkward angles just to see if the the glass is separating from the rubber bezel and now we have a guy ready to commit a crime cause his phone has a scratch.

But I'm not entirely sure how it scratched so easily. I'm mythed how it got there. I've never scratched anything before. Even without Gorilla Glass.
I'm also convinced it could've been the bumper. It rattles even when moving the phone and not shaking it. The scratch has just made me lean towards a replacement more.
Will Google accept a scratched phone with a factory defect?
Yes they would accept it back with a factory defect but they could just repair the defect and send it back to you still scratched as that is not covered

as someone said before, the rattling is normal. every n4 rattles. a scratch won't hurt you and seeing how you caused it i don't think you should send it in. you got this thing for 299 $ which is a steal, they sold 10 pieces of it worldwide because they can't rival samsungs broadway antics - why putting even more weight on their shoulders.
this is why I got a case as soon my Nexus 4 arrived. Lmao! OP is gonna lie for it. Sure why not. Blame the phone companies for making the phone so easily breakable or maybe its the nature fault for the way it works.
Man threads like these why I enjoy coming to xda. It's full of wins!!!

I only bought it around 3/4 days ago. I could request a replacement. There is no way a phone should've scuffed/scratched that easily. I like the phone and don't want to live with scratches. I've seen people return scratched Nexus 4s to shops and they've accepted them. No I'm not going to lie. It's just that the scratch has made me lean towards an RMA.
Never have I scratched a phone.

Yes she did but the scuff appeared a couple of days after. I still don't know what caused it. I would live with the scratch if it was my fault and was small but I did nothing to scuff/scrape the phone. The scrape is along the right convex edge.

Trust me the scuff wasn't there. I wasn't happy and inspected the phone in all kinds of light. I also cleaned it plenty of times.
I have just read two other threads today... one from someone who RMA'd a phone with shattered back glass that stopped working, but neglected to mention the broken glass. Another from someone who mistakenly connected a 12v car battery directly to the charging port and fried the charging circuit (among other things) and neglected to tell Google about that as well. I won't cite countless other post I have read from folks exercising similar behavior.
I almost feel sorry for Google... but mainly feel sorry for people who still play by the rules and take responsibility for their own actions as they will most likely pay for the unethical behavior of others via higher pricing and more hoops to jump through to get legitimate issues taken care of in the future.
I agree. I'm sure Google wouldn't take a phone back only because its scuffed. I'm sure the original poster will create some fake reason why he's returning the phone.

I won't. I hate liars as much as everyone else. Personally, I was expecting my mother to pay for it (which didn't go down well )
The volume buttons aren't easy to press and the phone's sim tray (not the lense) rattles with normal use. Another problem is a line on the top left edge on the phone (looks like a plastic mold mark). I do actually have plenty of reason to replace the phone. It's just the scratch has made me lean to a replacement more. Not only that, I received the phone 4/5 days ago and it was made early February; and without plastic nubs.
Do what you gotta do, whatever makes you sleep better at night. I'm not sure how Google handles returns but they could easily consider that as wear and tear deny an RMA.

I'm not getting any squeaky, quirky or "cracking" sounds on mine, it's very sturdy and tight. Maybe you got a slightly defect one. If it bothers you then you should obviously return it.

+1 - nothing like this on my a500, had it for nearly two months. Trade it in.
Make sure all corners are snapped firmly in place. Like others have said, just return it and get a replacement if there isn't any obvious fixes to your issue.
no creaks, squeaks or otherwise here, as others have posted, if you still have time, exchange it!
Thanks guys, good enough, I gonna replace it even though there is no gap and looks tight but something is wrong cuz every time I press it cracks like something is not snap tight.

I have only seen 3-4 people complain about this so it seems to me that it's a very rare build defect, probably just a bad batch of plastic somewhere? Of course, what I have or haven't seen is just anecdotal evidence, but I'd feel returning it and getting another one should have quite good chances of actually getting one of the good samples

THE HORROR:
Had my nexus 16gb plugged in on my bed, knocked it off and cracked the plastic bezel in a 1inch chunk. It still works! Sort of... Except for the backlight. The only way the backlight works is by putting pressure over the spot the bezel cracked in. When it does work, it now has screen bleed issues, and quite badly... The screen works at all times, touch works, the lcd works at all times, it seems to just be the backlight.
The question is: Has anyone had something similar happen? Should i try to get a replacement screen? Take it apart (I'm quite handy with mechanical things) and see if the display connection is loose? Send it to Asus saying "screen is bleeding, new Nexus please?" Then playing dumb about the damage?
Any help would be awesome!
P.S. I'm a Jr in HS, and used the money from my summer job to buy it, and don't have enough left over to buy a new one... Especially since i need a 16gb.

I would send it back like you said, and act as though you had no idea about the damage you just want a perfect device and light bleed doesn't = A perfect device.
That is if your sending it through courier, if you got it from a local store that won't work. As you can't blame it on the shipping :/
Gutted for you btw, dont take this wrong way but SHUDDA GOTTA CASE

Never told him to lie just said I hope it works out for him. I feel sorry for a kid that saved his money to buy the device and then has a accident. But I never told him to lie about it. Just to clarify.
Just so both of you know, I posted a couple of ideas with no real preference, and am probably gonna end up opening it tonight and seeing if the connection is loose. The question was about what you would suggest to someone in a bind like mine.

Hello guys,
I just went over my 14 day RMA period a few days ago.
However right now I want to exchange my device using the 1 year warranty primarily because the rattle has gotten worse. If I put my phone up to my ear or move it down the person sitting next to me can hear the rattle.
Secondly I put my phone in my jean pocket and one of the metal jean buttons put a deep scratch on it you can see that sucker a mile away! So much for gorilla glass!
Anyway my question is I have rev 11 which it looks like lg didn't mitigate the rattle or the mic static noise issue. Should I do the warranty now or wait till rev 12 is out? Also would they simply take my phone apart fix whatever is needed and send it back, meaning my pacific ocean trench deep scratch will stay? Or will they give me another device (note I'm over 14 day exchange period)? Also anyone have any idea when these flaws will be fixed?
Thanks

Revision versions are largely meaningless, and users bickering over something as trivial as that is pretty pointless as well. LG will almost definitely not give you a new phone as it is functioning as intended. They will certainly not fix a scratched screen as it was your fault not theirs. If anything, they might get rid of the rattle and send it back to you as it is.
There are metal buttons in the inside of your pocket? Sounds like another weak excuse to me.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The 14 day window is a return window, not RMA. You can RMA and exchange just about anytime for warranty purposes. The rattle might be a warranty issue but the scratch will not be. I think however they'd just ship you another device while fixing your broken one which someone will then get later (after they replace the scratch also however).

Really, have you seen the RMA thread? People are doing exchanges even for the slightest problems. Hell I have screen bleed, yellow screen, data drops in stock rom and 4 hours of battery life and I'm not complaining nor did I send my phone back 6 times for such purposes. I'm not making excuses for those because all of them can be fixed using kernels, application combinations or software updates (except the screen bleed which doesn't bother me at all)

I called for an RMA around a month after having my device. I had noticed pretty substantial light bleed although I was willing to let it slide. Then I got a big scratch on the back like you, and decided to call them and take issue with the light bleed. They ship you a replacement whilst putting a hold for the cost on your credit card. Once you receive the replacement you are to ship your old phone back.
I'm hoping they don't try and charge me for the scratch although some other thread on here said they expect general wear and tear such as minor dings and scratches. If the way in which they handled everything else with this launch is any indication then I doubt they will give me any trouble for this. They probably won't even be able to tell that it was mine when they receive it lol.
Anyways I'm still waiting on the RMA to ship out but I am expecting things to go smoothly. I've ordered a screen protector for the reverse side. Can't mess up that delicious oleographic coating on the front with a screen but the back scratches more easily, plus the added friction from a rubber screen will stop it from sliding all over the place.

Yep Im actually ordering my RMA tonight they sent me a link. Hopefully the new one doesn't have the rattle and static. Again it was LG's fault they made a phone with improper shielding and loose parts, so they can't deny anything. To all those bashing me I hope you understand this isn't because of a minor scratch- sure who wouldn't love a new phone. However the issues that my phone already had really pushed me towards getting a replacement. Sure I would love my scratch to be gone, but having a phone with out broken parts and a bad mic would be better. Please do not reply to this thread if you are gonna bash me. Thanks. Also to those that gave me good info. I appreciate it!

Volume up+ power button and you should be able to see the rev. Rev_12 is non existent rev_11 is the latest you will get.
Anyways my second RMA is near perfect.
No mic static
Rattling is minimal
And the screen is great, yellowing went away I do have a nominal binned CPU but it really doesn't phase me since I do not tweak voltage settings anyway.

IDK....
Mine was Ø defects.
I don't know exactly if this is suppose to be like this...But I've noticed that my N7 Gen2 arrived with these strange little "knicks", "dings" or indents...Whatever you wanna call them....Right between where the edge of my device is and where the screen starts.
It's a very minor defect if it is one...So I won't be returning it as everything else is perfect on it, and isn't exactly worth the hassle.
Like others, mine was factory sealed, the battery had about a 40% charge (I picked it up at a local Staples store).
My n7 came factory sealed but it has an oil slick on the back around the nexus label. In addition, I have noticed some of the reported problems with the gps and momentary freezing when I'm using a browser. Otherwise, I am quite happy with my n7.

Odd, I thought I was the only one. Picked mine up at a local Wal-Mart on a whim and was expecting a pristine N7 like my first four 2012 N7s. Checked the seals on the box just in case and they were all good, but was surprised to see what looked like a smudge/fingerprint on the screen after taking off the plastic (not mine, obviously) as well as little nicks on the top left edge right in between the screen and the back. Almost looks like as if someone tried to pry the thing open... the device itself works perfectly with no issues so I'm still trying to decide if it's worth taking a gamble and exchanging it for a new one.
Brand new. Still sealed. No issues or problems so far. 32GB Model Nexus 7

Picked first at Staples had been opened (seal on white box ropes) and plastic taken off abs it was already on. The screen was just off. In fact I looked at battery stats and it showed the tablet on just for a sec and not awake until 7 days later when I got it. I returned BC it had a dead pixel. Second was sealed and all however I am having multi touch issues. Just my luck.

Hey gang. Just a quick question. This is my second Nexus 4. RMA'd the first one with screen defect. Now this one I've had since about April ish I notice seems like the case is loose.. When I apply just the slightest bit of pressure to the body of the phone around the "n" on the word nexus below the camera it has a crazy creaking sound. Now I've kept this thing in a solid Ringke Fusion case literally since day one and have maybe dropped it once or twice from waist height but never any serious spills and even when it was dropped I would always "somewhat" catch it so never any direct slams into concrete or anything.. Phone is nearly flawless. This noise aggravates me. Makes me think of the phone as kinda cheap and creaky. I'm also afraid of it hurting the resale value. What are your thoughts? Would Google replace it / fix it? Is it worth it to fool with at all? Would be nice to get a brand new Nexus 4 due to a crappy assembled case.. Open to suggestions...
