[Q] Nexus 4 creaking back - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi! This is my first post and thread! Hooray, not that anybody cares but... whatever.
Thing is, my Nexus 4's back began creaking on the side where the camera is. I've had the phone for 6 days and this is the first time I've noticed this noise. It's really annoying. I can't help but keep pressing firmly on that side... How could I make the squeaking stop?

Stop squeezing your phone dude.

My NS has a lot of problems and I still LOVE it

Please, please, stop all these new threads about problem after problem.
My phone has the bent glass curve at the top but not the bottom, I have a screen with a major blue tint, it has about 4 or 5 little bands running across it, and the home button even freezes from time to time.
I'm not stressing. None of these issues really hinder me from using my phone. AND if they did, I wouldn't make a 2nd or 3rd thread about the issue when using the search button would bring up numerous results. Hell, when you create a new post now, XDA is nice enough to auto search for you.

After all that trouble I will not go to a different phone =D
I'm feeling a little left out. Is my Mexico the only one without a fault?

No problems here, I think the glass is supposed to "bend" at the top, it is concave after all.
mine is like a Boat!
sort of like a flat banana
it does seems to have been designed that way, else i'll imagine the glass to be flat, instead of concave
the case plastic shell of the phone is concave shape as well

My phone doesn't creek but there's another thread about a few people who have phones that creek. My power button and build quality seem solid.
Thanks. I think i am going to call google and get a replacement

My thread got sent to the Q&A but yeah. I have that issue and the screen randomly turning on.
I get an error during the replacement processor
"You are trying to change the Google account used for this transaction. Please sign out and retry the transaction without changing the account."
Hope you have better luck.
Already have the new phone on its way. My replacement process was done without any issue. Sorry to hear yours is not going as well.

Hate to be that guy but it had to be done.

My power button feels very solid and I like how it sticks out more than the GNEX. Also, I don't think it will be prone to eventual wear (and stop working) like the GNEX did. Feels solid man.

I can stop picturing water leaking from their devices.

This phone on the bottom is creak central man I hate to say it but I may stick with my sg3. The whole reason I got this phone because I was praying for no creaks I drove to NY to get this phone took me an hour drive anyways I'm actually hoping the bumper might solve this problem but I might just sell mines the touch sensitivity is pretty weak as well. But in the Context of a 350 dollar phone I'd rate it pretty godly But damn it creaks worst then a TV remote exchanging it will do nothing only slow the problem down

I have the creaking in the bottom left as well. I'm wondering if this has something to do with the majority of cracking happening in that area near the speaker grill.

Real buzzing earpiece problems?

Hey guys,
My Nex4 has, just like many others, a buzzing earpiece, but just slightly in my case. Now I'm wondering what the actual problems of this are. My battery life is quite good, 1,5 day of medium usage with 3-4 hours of screen time. It's also unhearable when you move it away from your ear, so that's not the problem either. Finally, I can make good quality calls without being bothered by the earpiece.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

[Q] My Nexus 4 is too sensitive...

Hi there, Nexus 4 Owners
I just got my Nexus 4 a while ago, it is a great device, everything is perfect... except I notice my Nexus 4 screen is too sensitive.
The first time I noticed it is when I had it in my pant pocket, it was a bit tight, someone called me and I tried to pull the device out then I noticed the call has been rejected.
The next time after that, it opened Google Now while being pulled out. Then I tried to cover my finger with a piece of cloth and touched the screen, it was still responsive.
I thought it was cool, but lately it has became a problem for me as it occasionally reject, message or open google now when I pulled it out....
Even little vibration while riding on a bike can also cause it to open some apps if it got a call.
It became quite annoying, is there a way I can decrease its sensitive level?
I think your pants are too tight........
A screen protector can help with the sensitive issues

Well, the Nexus 4 is already one of the most insensitive phones out there and you really are the first person I've heard complaining that the Nexus 4's touchscreen is too sensitive.
Did you have that problem with other touchscreen phones too?
Never had those problems at all, does it happen only when you wear jeans or what
You have to push the power button on the side, then slide the lockscreen open, then select and execute an action. And your PANTS do all this automatically???

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...

Called Google.. They said they would be in touch with me within 48 hours. Guess we'll see what happens. I mean it's not a big deal it's just kinda the principal of it.. Who wants a creaky crazy phone... Especially if it's less than a year old.
