[Q] Worth getting the nexus 4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
I just sold my old phone(Galaxy S Plus) and now im looking for a phone that's pretty cheap and fast(quad core cpu).
After a while of searching I found the nexus 4 and the HTC One X.
My sister got the One X and I don't like the colors of the screen, they're like dead so I decided to go with the Nexus 4.
Anyway im planning to go to the store to see the nexus 4 tommorow but I got a question.
Im afraid the glass back will break fast.
Im always very protective on my devices so I don't want it to break.
So my question is, does the glass of the Nexus 4(front but especially back) break fast? and if yes, will a rubber bumper around it protect it from a fall?
Thanks in advance!

the official bumper is good for protection and it is pretty hard to break (although it ALWAYS is pure luck if your phone (any complete-glass-front-phone) falls down and survives... if you have a bad day s4 htc one, one x, nexus 4 will break)

As Treshy said, it ultimately comes down to luck. I've dropped my phone on to carpet from about 3 feet and nothing happened to it, and my old HD2 fell from 4 feet on to concrete and came out unscathed. However, I've also seen multiple stories where people claim their phones were destroyed by falls from just a few feet in the air. Because the N4 is all glass, I bought a pouch case which completely protects the device during the times I'm most likely to drop my phone (taking it out of and putting it into my pocket) and allows me to use it case and screen-protector free when I want. I think the N4 is definitely worth it, especially over the awful One X. That thing lags like hell, the Tegra 3 in it is awful when combined with Sense.

It is down to luck, but maybe some of these stories will settle your doubts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293827

Okay thanks guys! Seems okay then only one thing.
I've read a couple of stories that people owning a nexus 4 were calling, in the sun playing games, charging them overnight and then the back glass broke(near the camera), is this a common problem or is this also having bad luck?

I've got it since a few months, absolutely no problem with it. Back's still new, and I use a Muzzano bumper, which is pretty efficient.
the One X is too old imo. N4 is the way to go

For the price you can't beat it. Quality device, updates as they come, and the specs are awesome

Is anyone actually happy?

So I picked up my Nexus 7 from GameStop, and I can't express how happy I am about this purchase! I always see everyone complaining about dead pixels, lifted screens, etc. Are there other people out there just as happy as me? I don't see anything wrong with the hardware, and 4.1.1 runs beautifully, couldn't be happier!

It's hard to say, since mine hasn't arrived yet. I'm in Aus, so that's expected.
Most of what I've heard is very positive, though.
I'm happy love it at this price!
Mine appears to be perfect from the play store except the flicker issue.

Its fair to say that reading XDA around the launch of a new bit of hardware you've bought will make you paranoid as hell.
A lot here sit at home with their forensic kits waitng for their new equipment to arrive then put the thing through an hours inspection at least as soon as they get it. They'll have all the weird test patterns for the screen that XDA have produced along with microscopes and measuring calipers.
In other words, if you want to feel good about your new toy, probably best not to come here for a bit.... It can be the OCD centre of the internet at times.
I might be when mine arrives next month if it is defect-free
I recieved mine in Melbourne, AUS yesterday with the screen completely stuffed - Washed out, burn-in and uneven backlighting!
So no, I am not particularly happy, but if mine was good then I would be VERY happy.

I agree 100%, everyone waiting on their 7 should avoid these forums for a minute... when I was on my way to pick mine up, I was paranoid as hell, couldn't stop thinking about dead pixels, or something.. and I usually have horrible luck when I buy retail products, I always get the defects. Guess someone was watching out for me for the 7 ahaha

I had to return mine due to faults, but I'm still very happy with it! Faults happen, esp on new runs, and historically I've been very lucky with my tech. I'm not happy I have to wait to play with it again, but that'll be outweighed by the replacement arriving fault free. Enjoy yours!

Got any pics?
It's a $200 device so you can't expect the screen quality to be like a Pioneer Kuro.... Its a decent screen for the money, but yeah its not HD S+ AMOLED. Its not $800 either.
If mine didn't have dead pixels and screen bulge.....I'm sure I'd be happy.

Until it heats up and separates......like mine
I admit if there were a few things that were native to the N7 I'd be ALOT happier .( support for flash- I know this is Adobe's main fault, a sd slot , a rear high quality camera, Gorilla Glass instead of CorningĀ® Fit Glass , plastic bezel replaced with a metal one, ) But hey what can you expect with a price just above the $200.00 mark ?
Overall I'm happy so far.
-I'm having some issues with the touch pad/lag in games but I'm now blaming that on immature Tegra drivers .Hoping an update fixes this soon.
Picked up from Gamestop!? Off topic, but you got yours today? As in they just called you and said it was in? =.D
...Or was it more along the lines of you just saying you got it from Gamestop some days ago? =.[

Yes your right, SD card is a big one. For the camera, I have an upgrade in march (Verizon) and I plan on getting the best android phone I could get my hands on. But I have the 16gig so I haven't ran into an issue with memory yet. Also gorilla glass would have been lovely, and the metal over plastic of course. But being my first tablet, for only 250$, I could definitely overlook some of these faults!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
I'm not particularly happy. Mine arrived dead, and remained dead even after being left on charge overnight. Reading through these forums, this is the list of faults I've seen.
- Dead on arrival
- Dead after a few hours use
- Light bleeding down side of the screen
- Screen/colour washout
- Yellow tints on the screen
- Image retention lasting minutes
- Dead pixels
- Screen glass bulging
- Creaking screens
- Erratic touch screen / dead zones
- One legged type sound from speakers
- Microphone dead on arrival or failing within days
- Endless NFC force closes on first boot
- Lag
However, I do agree with kitch9's sentiment. I'm guessing only people with faults are posting and I'm hoping there's plenty of perfect devices out there somewhere! It is a human trait to tell more people if you receive bad service, rather than good.
Mines is running perfect and defect free. Always seem like no matter the product, there's always a percentage that has issues or people that has gripes with it. Don't let those mess up your experience with your device. Its a great deal and it performs better than most high end tablets/phones out right now. Its a great deal for the power you get. Very happy to own one.
I'm happy my I/O unit is perfect
Well sort of ie: random crashing (NFC mostly, menu buttons crashed once) flickering, top bar freezing, dead pixels (3 of them), speaker volume sucks. Urgh the glass on this sucks! I have micro scratches already! My 4S and iPad combine don't have as many!
But its all cherry other wise

Picked mine up from Gamestop and it had no faults. I was the only one in my town to pre-order the thing which is surprising. Its because my little Nexy didnt have to share a box with others so he slept unharmed while he was on the plane
Mine is perfect. No lag, no light bleeding that I can see when using, audio works, no screen lifted, battery life is great (first charge last night, and only because I forgot to turn off Dice so it kept the tablet on, doh!).
I love mine. Got a nicely built one , just like my galaxy nexus was. Although we shouldn't be guessing and hoping for products that we are paying for..

Cracked screen... Twice!

Ok. I'm begining to feel that this device simply doesn't love me at all.
I got my first N7. The next day, I was walking (my N7 was in my bag)and the leash of my bag was cut (for unknow reasons). Bag goes down, N7 screen cracks. I had no case for it...
Same day, I'm buying a new one since I couldn't find any spare parts at this time. With my new N7 I bought an HTC-Flyer Case since it was the only one which could fit the N7. (No N7 cases available in Greece yet...). I thought I could wait until spare parts become available, fix the first one and sell it.
1 week after I bought the second N7, I was holding 10 cm above a table. I repeat, 10, maybe 15 centimeters, above a table and I w Sas reading an e-book. Suddenly, my, second, N7 slips from my hands, drops on the table with the lower left corner and the screen broke more than the first one.
Ok. Now I get it, This thing is very sensitive. F*ck you Asus for doing it like that because I've dropped my TF101 a few times and still working like a charm.
The thing, now, is that I can't find any spare parts and I'll not buy a third N7.
Does anyone know where can I find spare screen to repair them? I've found this site but it's always out of stock.
Please guys, I am begging for your help!
Thanks in advance.

You blame Asus?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Yep... ASUS is supposed to be there to catch the device when it falls.
Most devices break when you drop them without a decent case. Nothing new there.
Don't drop your stuff?
Of course I am not blaming Asus. I was the one who dropped the device (at least the second time) I am the one to blame.
What I wrote about Asus is just for making me feel a little better and not that I crash every N7 I get my hands on. Nothing more. Maybe it was a mistake to write that about them. I apologize if I must.
Any chance, now, you know where I can take a spare screen?

To drop one N7 is careless, to drop two N7s marks you out as clumsy and, yes, you are blaming Asus for your clutziness.
Worse, you are trying to crowd source information you could easily source yourself.
In this post from you we see Greece and why it has an ex-economy :laugh:
Hey, come to think of it .. where did you get the Drachma for two N7s ? :laugh::laugh:
I do sympathize since I have two iPads which are used mainly by two kids of 3 and 2 years of age. As you can imagine, they've dropped them from various angles and heights (one even took a tumble down a whole flight of stairs.
Neither of them have a scratch on them. They were protected by a silicone/tpu case from day one.

I've searched a lot around the Internet and I couldn't find anything. That's why I asked here. Obviously a big mistake...
Second I wish we had drachma again, but that's an other conversation which I am not willing to do here.
I know I'm clumsy. But N7 is the first device so sensitive to my clumsiness. Looks like I'm not built for this device...
Thanks again.

The screen is basically all one unit, so you can't just get the glass. It looks to be easy to replace however. I would imagine there will be parts available soon from other parties like other devices as well as replacement batteries etc...
Probably a little soon still.
There are of course official sources for parts, but I don't know if ASUS is making them available (not had an ASUS device before).

Yeah, those kinds of cases aren't really the best to protect from fall damage
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
There were other reports by people claiming the screen itself is easier to damage. I think I recall someone saying they had their screen split just from normal usage...
In any case, I dropped my SGT7 from a few feet onto a carpet, and nothing happened. I haven't had my N7 fall any distance yet, and I played games like osu!droid, which causes me to press pretty rapidly and hard on the screen, and nothing happened to it (yet), so idk...
In any case, it's safe to say dropping your Nexus 7, or most devices for that matter can cause some pretty bad physical damage
Mine cracked too! Really dont even know how, just saw a cracl amd now my touch screen will not work.. any advice please!

[Q] Got a Nexus 7, new android user, few questions

Hey everyone,
I am a new xda member, just got a nexus 7 about 2 days ago, and new to android, so far its awesome!!!!, and this website is so helpful, went through a lot of threads here before deciding on a nexus 7. but i still have a few questions.
So i got my nexus 7 from office depot (32 gb), but i returned it and got another one, because it had a slight screen lift problem on both left and right.
But the one i have now has a slight screen lift on the middle left of the screen, its really slight though, the only way you can tell is only if you carefully examine it. all the other sides are fine, just slight lift. I was just wondering do i have to return it and get a new one, i mean it wont be problem in the future right?? like the whole screen wont fall apart or something? I checked for other defects and there is none, no flashing issues, no blown out speakers, nothing else. what are your thoughts??
Secondly, sometimes the nexus 7 gets warm, specially during games, thats not gonna be a problem right? not hot, just warm, specially during tegra zone games. Like it wont melt the glue and loosen the screen right?
Lastly, once i pick up my nexus i cant seem to put it down, is this an addiction problem, do others experience this as well? :laugh:
Thanks
I'd sell it and get an ipad or something, I mean you've seen the pictures of one that got warm an actually caught fire. Let's face it, poor build quality, no QC, overheating issues. You really wasted your money on this duffer!
Just kidding, course it'll get warm when playing games, like most things the CPU will get hot when used :screwy:
And lastly it's like when you first found your **** and you couldn't leave it alone, you'll get bored with it after a while :thumbup:

I got my first Nexus 7 when they first came out.... It's been permanently attached to my hand ever since. Welcome to the club!
I've never had a screen lift, but there are threads around on how to fix it, but no, it won't eventually just fall off.
As for heat, it's normal, your tablet will turn itself off before it gets to any dangerous temperatures. And it won't get that hot without some pretty savage voltage and oc mods (see clemsyns elite kernel)

Im sorry that you had a bad device experience with the S4. But I have to tell you, the S4 is far and away from laggy at all. Even in stock form. Several people that I know and many more on this site would tell you differently. I am going to say that either an app that you use caused the lagg, or the phone was a lemon. Heck, I have my S4 packed to the gills with apps and it is under clocked as well. And I get zero lagg.
Now, as far as the iPhone is concerned, I do not blame you in the least for getting rid of it. The company that I work for gave me an iPhone. After using it for a couple of months. I practically ready to smash it. So, I convinced them to purchase me an S4. For now and as far as a phone is concerned, I could not be happier.
Regardles the One seems as though it is a good phone. There are two things stopping me from owning it. This one is a big one. It is not on the Verizon network. And two, it does not have a micro SD card slot.

Not sure what awkward would mean, but the one heats just as any phone does, but the aluminum traps it and absorbs it more than say, plastic. That's not to say the phone itself is overheating, meaning for ex, u have a naturally 1.1ghz phone overclocked to 1.8ghz, that heat you're feeling is it screaming for it's life.
The heat on the one is just due to the fact it's aluminum, nothibg to panic about, I PROMISE YOU.
Why don't you get a case? Because you won't be able to feel it and well, as beautiful as it is, and as the case for all smartphones, drop it and it's gone.
Sent from my HTC One
The One feels hotter because the aluminum body conducts heat much better than plastic does. This is a GOOD thing. It means the phone cools off much faster when things get hot.
The power button is awkward to push but nothing that make me thing of using some crappy iPhone or the S4

Also any quad core phone will get hot
This is seriously the best phone on the market but yea I should have never left, I have unlimited data on my T-Mobile line but apple wouldnt let me use it the way I want so the iPhone had to go

+1 Was in the very same boat..:fingers-crossed:
I think I'm the only one that likes the power button on the top of the phone. I think power buttons on the side of the phone just don't belong. Looks stupid to me. I'd rather re-adjust the phone in my hand to lock it then have it on the side.

Nexus 4 creaking noise RMA?

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...
