I ordered a nexus 4(8GB) from Google play store.I have received the package.but when i unboxed the nexus 4 i found out that , after the sliding out the outer cover , the inner box cover which is sealed by 2 plasters was not there.i could directly see the device. The cover with the nexus logo on the right bottom was not there. Is this a problem? or is it a new way of packing the nexus 4? Please help.
The red circle marks the cover that was missing!.
Please help!
Thank you.
P.S. The picture i have posted is from Google images.
That's weird. I guess call up Google support and ask for a free pair of headphones or bumper or something.
Does the phone ahow signs of use?

okay will try.
I bought one 2 weeks ago and the cover was on mine, so it is not new packaging.
What cover are you talking about? Your's looks exactly how mine came.
EDIT: you mean the top half of the box? definitely not right if you didn't get that.

yea i didn't get the top half of the box!
What are you talking about?? What you have circled is the top half of the box!! Edit: Just thought, probably not a picture of your box. If so and you were missing that, then I would say it had been opened before or maybe it did change recently. I just got my N4 last month and it had the lid.

That don't look normal at all, doesn't seem safe to be shipped like that since the phone wouldnt be protected at all. Luckily its fine but I would still call Google.

I saw that too, I think it might just be a screen protector they have on there? But if it is I'd like to know what kind! Looks nice!
Photojojo add on?
I voided my warranty.
I thought for a second my eyes deceived me when I saw the original video on that. First reaction was, is my n4 fake? I'd also like to get that protector if it is one

Hi!
So tomorrow I'm meeting up with someone to buy a Nexus 4. They got it from the Play Store as they claim.
However, I want to make sure what I'm buying is legit. So what do I look for?
It's new, sealed. I am allowed to break the seal and check the inside, I am also getting a receipt with the phone.
So again, now that you know that, exactly what should I look for tomorrow to make sure it's 100% real and non-used/working?
Just stick with the basics. Make a call using regular ear piece and speaker phone, check camera, check all buttons work etc.

We are meeting in a mall and I don't have the SIM for it yet, so I'm worried about actually powering on the device and everything...
if its 16gb, check the storage in settings
should say total around 12gb
check if camera works
WiFi, Bluetooth, notification light, and missing screens

Thanks guys ! The phone is legit! I have to wait until Friday so I can set it up on a carrier and then I'll test out data, texting, and everything else. I'm loving it so far though . TIME TO CHANGE MY SIGNATURE!
Title misleading? You're not buying it from google but some person that bought it from the play store, which is how you buy it from google... Although you say its an lgnex but its really an nexus 4?
Well I'm glad it works for you, I was gonna remind ya to chk front camera too, as well as sim tray.

Fixed the title. LGNex is a short way of saying Nexus 4, I like it, but nobody else really uses it except me
I checked everything, set up the phone today and it all works perfectly. Tethering, everything! I love this thing!

The one coming next week I forgets, when it comes I'll post a link and some pics. It's this cool black outline for the sides and a translucent back. The second is a white mercury TPU case. It'll be here in 2-3 weeks
Found the link for the first case. They are only four left, hurry!

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.

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.!

Without the nubs the phone also works fine.
I think you shouldn't just RMA because of that.

303k and i have those pesky nipples at the bottom
i ordered new nexus 4 about three weeks ago and when it arrived, it didn't have the nipples. i was hoping it would but oh well.
about a month before that, i had to RMA another nexus 4 and the replacement also didn't have nipples.
Well.... I have heard that they kinda made the glass a bit stronger in the new design . Is it true?
Or is the same fragile one that breaks without even touching??

These are small bumps on the back of the phone near the screws that keep the phone a bit raised when kept on any surface. This helps reduce scratches on the glass back, help prevent slipping of the phone as well as improve the sound quality as the speaker opening becomes raised due to these nubs.

Long story
So today I flipped open my case and my digitizer was cracked on my less than 2 week old N7. Won't let me unlock or anything. I have not dropped or otherwise damaged it. Has this happend to anyone else? Manufacturing defect? I also noticed last night that on black screens there were some red splotches. I'm just afraid if I try to get it replaced they will say physical damage have a nice day.

I believe it and no have not heard of this happening. If it was a drop, there would be a clear dent or shatter marking on that line before it splits into two. Just talk to google or where-ever you bought it from and try to keep calm. When glass breaks, it shatters and not produce hairline breaks like that.
get it replaced for free.

yup either that or a crack form pressure like sitting on it or having it in the back pocket and forgetting about it.
that's not a defect. it just doesn't crack on its own.

The tablet had slipped down the back of the sofa between the seat cushion and the back of the sofa. I sat down and it must have squished it. The cushions are super soft and I'm still not 100% sure it happened.

ahaha, nice!!
is Asus charging you to repair that device?
The nexus 7 has a very weak glass.
Mine got hairline crack from twisting.
Most drop test videos show it breaks on the first drop.
I have replaced first unit, waiting until local repair guy can get parts from his usual source to get first one fixed. May try contacting google/Asus about a repair but have not done that yet.

If you bought it with a credit card you may have coverage. Many of the premium cards come with 90 day replacement insurance.
