Hey guys,
Had my nexus a few months now and loving it.
Also have a HTC One X+ as my work phone.
Today I went to update an app on the HTC One and it received the new Google Play store?
I would have thought that the nexus 4 would have been the first phone to receive this update.
Anyone else have it (officially)? I'm in Australia, but I wouldn't think that it matters since the One X+ received it?

Hmm my Nexus 4 just got updated to new Play Store as well. Not sure if the fact it is CM10.1 affects it or not.... Singapore here anyway...
I'm also in Australian and just checked my N4 after your post to find I got the google play update today also. Have been waiting ages for that.
Yeah? I just thought that it was strange that Google didn't update their own devices before others.
Although it could just be a whole play store update regardless of device manufacturer.
P.s- I personally think that it looks like a bit of a downgrade? Very plain

I got my update yesterday and I can't get rid of it if I install the update it just reinstalls itself.
Google have taken all the bad from the old version and enhanced it, it's now 'super' jerky instead of a little. Then all the good from the old version has been thrown out and replaced with giant icons letting you see only 4-6 apps at a time. Google never learn.
Hold on to the older version for as long as you can.
What version yall have?

I personally enjoy the new look. It's smoother and looks cleaner. The previous look was way too busy.

Google would never do that. If there are issues they will fix them and continue rolling it out. Play Store updates can take a long time to roll out and seemingly random (not based on hardware being used).

I'm not basing the fact on bugs or issues, just purely on the fact that it looks like a downgrade compared to the old one (old now).
The old one looked very nice, mature and pleasant on the eyes.
This new one looks like its been made for (possibly by) pre-schoolers. So simple and the complete opposite of intriguing.

I think the play store is one of things that just gets sent out for update, I don't think the nexus has any priority over other device when it comes to it.
Is this the new Google play store you all talking about? If so then I've had this for over a two weeks.

Got my update on 4/9
Nexus gets Android updates first not Play updates. With 1.5 million activations per day and all those devices carrying a Play Store, imagine how many
devices Google needs to update.
To reduce load on their servers, they update devices in batches.

Hit the nail on the head i wonder why Google even rolled an update to Play. It looked far more sexy earlier making you want to click on featured apps. The new one sucks imo.

Also it looks an awful lot like iTunes Store.

This is my first nexus device, I was just wondering what the normal time frame would be for me to expect a 4.2 update once it is announced? I'm actually not all that anxious because I'm still loving 4.1.2, but just curious how these updates usually work time wise.

it can be anywhere from the day its announced, to about a month after. usually its available in aosp pretty quickly after the first devices being sold hits the market, sometimes right before. if your waiting to take the ota route, then it usually released after several weeks to a month after the first 4.2 devices become available.
Sweet thanks for the info

I 've seen many broken glass pictures.. it really hurts my heart..
so what the hell is google(or maybe LG) doing?

There is a replica being sold from China. Apparently the quality is good. Check the accessories forum.

I've been using the one linked for about 2 weeks now and it gets the job done. It's not as high quality as the official; but it works just as well.
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.

Hey,
I've owned a one x for almost a year now and with its intense usage I came to notice that the phone is getting worse. Heat problem is the biggest one together with minor damage getting worse on the device.
A nexus 4 is only 300 euros in Germany so I'm thinking about buying one. Are there any people around that know if German phone would work in the Netherlands?
It has the same processor speed I think but the nexus has the stock android look and gets updated regularly.
Any advice is welcome

Honestly, the One X is kind of a failed phone. It has the potential but does not use it fully. The Nexus 4, on a daily usage (opening apps, tweeting, fb, instagram and such) shown to be faster then the SGS 4. So yes, it would be a huge update. And I wouldnt bother waiting for the 5th Nexus. I would by the N4 and when time comes, i'd switch
Thank you so much for your time and advice. I might check a few stores here and there in Germany this weekend. All I need to know now is if it would work in the Netherlands

My N4 was definitley an upgrade over my S3 and I would consider the S3 a much better phone over the One X.
But the N5 will definitley be an upgrade over the N4.

The N4 basically obliterates any older phone like the One x. But yeah, I don't see why it wouldn't work as long as you have GSM carriers operating on the appropriate bands, plus you're already using the One X.

Wait until the nexus 5 is announced. If its the same price and you get it in your country go that route.
One x is a more than capable phone to hold out at least to Google makes its new nexus announcement.
I recently changed from a One X to a Nexus 4, and it was a huge upgrade. The smoothness and speed of the Nexus 4 was such a big change I couldn't believe it at first. Highly recommended.
I switched from a HTC One X+ to the Nexus 4. The one x+ was supposed to be a faster version of the One X, and the Nexus 4 was still miles better than that! So you'll definitely notice a huge difference. The The Nexus 4 is just really smooth, no lag, and no extra rubbish on top
One Xs is a very good phone if you can put custom rom one it,. But otherwise I'd say skip the Nexus 4 and get the Nexus 5 when it's released which is soon.

I laughed when I saw "Htc One will get 4.4 in 90 days" in the US. That's just plain not gonna happen. Sprint HTC One just got 4.3 when I left for this Note and At&T. I imagine it will be a while before any phone with a skin (Sense, Touchwiz, etc) gets 4.4.
Yea more then likely not until the next note comes out.

Install the Google Experience Launcher and your pretty much good to go. Most of the apk are out and about as well. I have the new Hangouts and Keyboard apks running just fine on my bone stock Note 3.

The developer version will get it in 30 days. So the HTC One Max will be the first phablet to be getting 4.4. That sucks. For us anyways.

You have the Google launcher installed and are not able to say the hot word on the home screen to launch a search right? That's the state I'm in but the first time I installed it I had the "OK Google now" hot words working and I could search without button pressing. The I got greedy and installed almost everything I could from the dump and it went downhill from there. Had to reinstall stock with root to get back to a clean state and now I Dont have the hot word functionality...boo

What phones? The One? Porting a rom on an S-offed phone does not count as HTC delivering 4.4 with Sense 5.5 in 90 days to all US versions. It will be impressive if it's done, but give their (and every other phone with a skin) track record, I don't see it.
AT&T will probably deliver 4.4 when Google rolls out its next version. Hell phones like the S4 and One just got 4.3 weeks ago I believe. I already have 4.4 running on my Nexus 4 perfectly thanks to the guys here who ported the Nexus 5 Build.
