hi guys my phone is making a weird noise like when you are placing a phone call near a speaker... it is subtle but it get annoying after a long call. it is not the nfc.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Weirdness is relative and differs for each person, please elaborate. Try not placing it near speakers or buy shielded speakers maybe.
no-no you did not understand, the phone is making a noise like the processor is working but really loud like chhhhhhh )
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Well, processors don't make any noise when they're working so I'm not sure what that could be referring to.
If you're talking about a slight hiss/crackling on the earpiece, that's a fairly common defect. If it really bothers you, ask for a replacement. Some people say they don't have it at all, others say they have experienced it on multiple replacements.
yes that is the problem, it doesn't bother me very badly but I am afraid because I am not sure if it will die on me or not

did you say chhhhhhh? hm... seems like your phone doesnt like you talking to other people. Just wondering, did this happened while your talking to a female? I smell jealousy.

Nah, it's not an issue that has been known to lead to failure.

People were complaining that I was mumbling when i was talkinh ti then with my and I know I was not mumbling because I was talking pretty loud on the phone. I could hear my echo let's leave it at that. Anyways I turned off the noise cancellation in the settings and people stopped complaining. Has anyone had people complain about not being able to hear you? How is call quality in general for you?
I think it's amazing but that's just me(came from a samsung...)

I find it pretty good , that is compared with the iphone the iphone is so bad in call quality.

I haven't had anyone complain yet. On the flip side I find that people sound really good compaired to my captivate. I used the inspire for a while and it sounded like people were talking to me through two tin cans with a string attached.

You could try turning the noise cancalation off or higher.

Never had a problem, people have actually commended my call quality. Maybe get a replacement, and make sure the mic on the back isn't blocked.

The phone quality beats iPhone 4 by a mile. I actually get less drop calls with Atrix.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Oh don't get me wrong I can hear the people almost better than if they were in the room (just because the speaker is next to my ear) but ill try turning it onto high noise cancellation and see how that works. I haven't had any problems with it off.

This just occurred to me. So far all the CSR that picked up the phone are females. I haven't seen a single CSR male name pop up anywhere in this forum either. Something fishy is going on here.
Maybe they think we're less likely to get mad and scream if we're talking to a woman. Cuz let's face it, a lot of people here don't control their anger very well
I've only had a female rep once and that was the first time I called. Ever call after was a male

How bad is this? Am I likely to get a better one if I RMA? I'm actually not terribly anal about these things, but this I can actually notice in daily use if my brightness is higher than 25 or so. First pic is 100% brightness; second pic is 10%.
Definitely.. I have a little on my status bar but its barely visible. That's ridiculous

that's terrible, how long have you put up with that?, I'm getting sick of all these issue threads, wish lg would improve their quality control.
I've been putting up with it for about a month but finally got annoyed enough tonight to take it into a dark room and see how bad it really was. Needless to say I was disappointed. Oh well. Will call to Rma tomorrow and will do my nexus 7 at the same time. It just won't even charge for some reason.
Pitiful google. You are alienating your most loyal customers with this $h!t.

Considering LG makes it it's more so them. In either case it's unfortunate you didn't do it earlier, I think Google handles it first 2 weeks whereas now you'll need to go through LG. Hopefully this isn't the case though as I'm sure it takes a bit longer.

wow that is pretty bad. i just have a bit of light bleed in the top right corner which seems to be a common issue and a tiny bit in the lower left hand corner.
Yea that is really bad and won't settle over time.

So far I have used about 8 nexus 4's ( I keep ordering replacements to keep them ). And I don't know how to test this but all the 8gb just feel quite a bit faster.
Anyone else feel the same, also I tried stock and then rooted to cm10.1 mako all the same way.

Yes I'm the bad guy because I have to lie to Google to get more to help people in need. Who cares what happens with phone it makes somebody happy. Blame Google not me I am just a guy trying to make a dollar out of 15 cents.
Anyway does anyone feel the 8gb is faster. Also just got a mercury slim case on amazon I have to say in white or black this is the best case hands down. I pretty much ordered every single one. Guess that makes me a douche because I gave a company money in exchange for a product.

It sounds like you're suggesting the nand chip is faster in the 8gb. We would need people to do file storage benchmark to confirm your claim.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I had a play with both model, and to me they felt the same...
The only way I can describe it is on the 16 once in a while it will lag for a second or two but on the 8gb I never get it.

You found a way to screw a system that was meant to help people, for your own gain. That's what makes you the d-bag.
Anyways, not certain of any correlation. As another guy said, it may just be the placebo effect.
Somehow I get a feeling this is some kind of strange trolling.
Like those messages about 21xC devices without sparkling back.
Here is why: the OP goes through his 4-th device (implying he is getting replacements) and somehow manages to get his 16gb replaced with 8gb. Which is somewhat strange and I suppose such an event would trigger a very different post.

No actually it would not seeing how much I can sell one for. And if you guys don't think a lot of people are doing this now you lying to yourself. There are a ton of nexus 4's on eBay for sale buy one now and sell yours when you get it maybe you even make a profit.
My nexus 4 and my girlfriends nexus were free and that was my goal. There is no excuse for not having a nexus 4 if you really wanted one. I'm so sure I somehow jammed the system all across the world. Sorry that life has not been fair to your pursuit for a nexus 4. I'm sure someone starving in a poor country could feel your pain, I mean what a tragedy. Maybe I should just call the police and turn myself in.
Then when you break your nexus 4 that is super fragile you will wonder why you even bothered.

& to the question of 8 vs 16 gig performance... figure that out yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you're not worth the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And somehow I worse than the guy that orders 1 nexus 4 and has it replaced 3 times because it has a "flaw". Knowing damn well this is a 300 dollar phone and expecting iPhone 5 quality. I mean does anyone remember all you guys who kept replacing your nexus 7.
All of this is driven by hype and I blame Google for not making more so you can get it in your hand and realize its not all that and your tears were not needed.

You may need to create the APN, but the phone is Sim unlocked.
Look for scratches, cracks, touchscreen unresponsiveness, earpiece crackle (some is OK. Just make sure it isn't unbearable), dead pixels and yellow spots on the screen.

Lol I was not trying to offend anyone.
I was stereotyping him because he said his wife had to order the phone online for him and that kind of phone wasn't for him. I am guessing it might of been his first smart phone. He is selling a 16 gig for 300 bucks and he used it one day.
He wanted the money to get a iphone:banghead:
I need a new phone cause I think my note 1 has about had it. So it could potentially could be a good timing thing.

It's an unevenness in the way the backlight lights up the screen. You'll see brighter spots around the edges. Some say it's the type of screen. It's not something I've ever looked for or noticed. It doesn't bother a lot of people, but perfectionists let it get to them.
make sure its not blacklisted..yes google can and had blocked the n4..

When you get to him. Ask him if you can call Google and get the warranty transferred over to you. At the same time ask google if it has been blacklisted. If he does not agree, don't buy it.
