I just dropped my nexus 4 and BOOM! Screen cracked, won't recognize my touch.
1st step: Google play is out of nexus 4.
2nd step: replacement screens are almost $300.
I'm on t-mobile.. what's next for me? I LOVED the nexus 4. Really, I had dreams about how great this phone was.
Wait for nexus 5

Another option is to send it in to LG in Texas for repair. They charged me $146 delivered to replace a N4 cracked screen.

I'm in depression today. I still can't believe I dropped the nexus 4 and it broke. My only hope is to wait for the nexus 5. I'm not making the mistake of getting a note 3 or a s4. For now I'm using a $30 flip phone. I feel like it's 2001 again.
Don't be too depressed, some people don't have clean water to drink and make only 1USD from a full day of work.
You can get a screen assembly for $108 on ebay and replace it yourself, or give the broken phone to me for free, I could make use of it.
If you don't want to repeat the same mistake, buy a case or tempered glass screen protector next time.
How did you go from broken phone to Dysentery water? You have a sick mind my friend.

Damn what a night. So I went did a trade for this nexus with a guy. The nexus was sitting on the box on the trunk of my car while we were switching Sims next thing I see is it sliding off the box hits the ground and bounces. My heart dropped. About 5 dings on the bezel. The screen and back survived. So I got the Google play bumper and its good as new. Sucks Cuz I like the phone naked

I got my phone last night and I already dropped it today from about chest high while taking of my sweat shirt. No broken glass or anything from a hard wood floor. I think it really depends on how it lands. Oy really seems fairly durable to me.
If you average up all the thousands of sold I am sure the ones with broken glass are a very nonsignificant percentage..

Just broke my glass back -___- . I dropped into power switch made of aluminum and made several back cracks. Well, at least it wasn't the front.

If you got the bill. Sure.

No, warranty is non-transferable in normal circumstances. Call Google for clarification, though
It was purchased from a T-Mobile store if that matters

Why should it? If he owns the bill everything should be okay. Sold a phone once wich still was in warranty period. Just copied the Bill and everything was OK.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Might work that way in the US, but in the UK a warranty isn't always transferable regardless of having the original POP because the device is technically 2nd hand and most warranties state it's for the original purchase only - definitely that way for the company I work for. If the original owner registered the unit for warranty then you're screwed. If not, you might be able to get away with it
I live in the us. Any way to check online?

Yes you can...I had a similar issue...bought off craigslist...screen had major flicker issues....if you get a hold of the person who sold you the phone and have them give you the receipt..then you can RMA it only through LG because its from t-mobile...mine was bought from google so google has the RMA processed.
Ya bought one from kijiji Toronto on wondering the same thingHe bought his from the play store...
Okay so let me update this so i can get a better answer. The phone i am needing a replacement on is a phone i got from craigslist. i don't have the receipt but the phone had never been turned on before i was the one to open the box. I don't have the receipt for the phone. So please someone who had been through this before can you give me some insight

If you did not purchase the device from Google Play you'll have to contact LG for warranty service. http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGE960
If its from T-Mobile call customer care and get a warranty exchange if your phone line has the the device warranty.

Why should he send it back if it hasn't got the nubs?
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 called at my local staples , I live o in Montreal and asked them if they had any 2013 nexus 7 in store , they said yes so I went to buy one.
A sales guy told me that if I get a replacement plan, in 1 year I could come back to the store, tell that the item doesn't suits my needs anymore and they would give me a gift card of the value that I paid the tablet.
I was very on my guard and asked the guy many time if it would work, he said yes, and told me that's what he do with his camera , so he get a new one each year.
Finally I paid for the replacement plan and at the cash he gave me the tablet with the warranty info.
Back home was reading the warranty and there no mention of replacement the way he told me.
My question is, have any of v you had any luck with this replacement plan and does it work the way he told me?
If not I will go back to the store to get a refund , i will go back to the store to get a refund.

Call and ask to talk to the store manager. Get it in writing since it is not there, if they are going to do what you were told.

I did not paid 75 , I paid 35 for the basic coverage but the guy told me about that replacement thing, 75 dollars is when you take the basic coverage plus if you drop it, liquid on it and things like that your covered.

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.

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.

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.
