Nexus 4 production stopped?

I just read that the nexus 4's production has been stopped by lg because they are working on a new nexus device. Has anyone heard anything about this?

if you read it online than most likely it's true...
http://au.ibtimes.com/articles/4229...4-buy-price-supply-successor.htm#.UO-meGfjFek
It's true
The nexus device is supposed to be only 1 device supported by Google. Not create a whole line of nexus products to get rich off of, way to screw over the people who waited desperately for this phone and/or stuck in shipping limbo

This will be the single most outrageous thing I've ever read about a smart phone. The phone sells for two hours in total over like 4 months and they kill it for a new phone. They should have just haulted the N4 altogether.

That the most retarded site and article i ever read... It was so bad My PC cleared its own History and Cookies after loading the site.
well... nothing's really happened for a month outside of the US...
I highly doubt that is true since so many people are still waiting to buy it why would you stop selling it? And T-Mobile is said to start carrying it at every location.

Look everyone. This person talks common sense, and he does it in a thread without any.
XDA may catch fire.
They are assuming a lot in that article...i dont doubt that LG may be working on the next nexus but the writer takes the leap from a quote that says LG is going to release it's next gen phone at WMC to it being the next nexus. I bet LG is going to be releasing some new Optimus phone but not the N4 successor. Even the writer states that the halt in production are just rumors. LG barely launched the nexus 4 as is, maybe they are working on a 5+ inch Nexus. Here's to hoping there's going to be a nexus 5, 6, 8, and 9 to complete the nexus line.
Well duh obviously LG is gonna show off some prototypes and tech at wmc. I'd be more worried if they didn't announce anything. Besides all the stuff from wmc well be lucky to see in stores by Q4.

Nahh... Not gonna happen. LG just can't keep up that's all..
I was more interested in the get rich quick penny stock article. Or maybe the other sensationalistic crap on that site. Too bad I can't get back the two minutes I wasted there...shame shame...
Sent from my Nexus 7
Uhm, this is essentially the content of the article: "rumours have it that the company seized the production of the smartphone to focus on the development of its future offerings", the rest is just a speculation.
If "rumours have it" == "it's true" then yeah, we will see the new nexus phone next month, sure.
Lol. Just lol.

BS, I don't work for LG and the only thing I can confirm to be true is that, I love my nexus 4 more than any of my previous android phones (Hero, Desire HD, Sensation, Evo 3D, One X)......
LG called me directly,saying that Nexus 4 production is stopped cause all the people working at Lg's production lines is currently at the Bahamas,on the beach...

First time I don't feel like getting a new phone...

I usually switch phones every 4 months but since I got my nexus 4 I do not feel like getting rid of the nexus 4. Anybody else feels the same out there?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I do too. Except for the limited battery capacity, the phone feels great. You get to do what you like with it, no oem restrictions and always the first to get software updates.
I too am that type of person but I'm really enjoying the nexus!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Me too! I plan on getting a new one in 2-3 years but only if there'll be another amazing Nexus available
Pretty much this. I'll probably just stick with whatever the latest Nexus is.
Unfortunately I don't feel the same way. This HTC One is calling me and I must get it.

I was drooling over the HTC One when I first heard of it. But then I thought "Mine is better cuz it's cheaper, *****es".
(I still secretly love the HTC One tho. Please don't tell it to myself or I'll regret buying the N4)

i do... abit for the Z
The Nexus 4 is the perfect phone for me, no doubt about it.
However, being the tech geek that I am there is no doubt in my mind I will grab the Nexus 5 about 6 months after it's released (I don't want to deal with launch-day drama and hardware issues which always seem to plague the initial Nexus releases)
I can say, however, that I will only be buying Nexus phones from now on since they have finally stepped up to the plate with decent hardware and specs. The Gnex was a massive disappointment to me, I sold it within four months of owning it.
Same for me. I had the one x for the last year but it has started giving me trouble by not recognizing the Sim card was in the slot.
I was torn between the nexus 4. HTC one and the galaxy s4.
After much deliberation I went with the nexus 4 and I'm so glad I did.
I owned the nexus one before so I am already accustomed to the nexus experience.
I honestly didn't expect the 4 to be so much better than the one x. Snappier. Better gaming performance and longer battery life.
I'm so glad I switched

[Q] Should I sell my Nexus 4?

I've been seeing all these rumours about the Motorola X. It looks amazing, and a lot of websites are saying it will undercut the Nexus 4 in price. Should I sell my nexus 4 before it comes out and buy the X when it does come out? Really not sure what to do

It doesn't look like a serious upgrade from a nexus 4. The differences aren't huge so it would probably be best to wait. Also it's not a nexus device so you lose a lot of the good modding that you get on the 4 and probably has a locked bootloader

Probably. Sounds like you just want something new. The nexus 4 is on par with the top tier phones out right now (HTC One, GS4) as far as performance goes. My only gripe with the N4 is the camera, but its not enough for me to ditch it yet. We just use my wife's GS3 or our DSLR for that.
The X is nice, but I don't see its release causing the value of the N4 to drop to much. Only another Nexus device will affect its value.

Yes sell it! If you want to downgrade. I don't think Google will sell the Nexus 5 for that much higher than the Nexus 4. Maybe 30 to 60 dollars more. I mean look at the Nexus 7, that thing upgraded like hell and the price only went up 30 dollars.

So I'm wrong and you're ignorant, Google hasn't always been using this, just the new devices
see
Nexus 10=10"
Nexus 4=4"
Nexus 7=7"
Nexus 5=5"
now the Nexus 7 has a new version, called Nexus 7 II, not Nexus 8 (following your thought), and so will Nexus 10 (Nexus 10 II), if Nexus 4 gets a new version too, it probably will be called Nexus 4 II, and not Nexus 5, and this discussion is pointless since Nexus 5 is just a rumor someone random started
Don't sell your Nexus 4 now. Nobody has even seen the specs for the x-phone yet and according to the rumors the specs of the X-phone will probably be very similar to Nexus 4.
Wait for the Nexus 5.
But the current nexus 4 is closer to 5 inches. So why didn't they call it the nexus 5? Well I'll tell you b/c the nexus 4 is the 4th generation of the nexus phone.
The naming for the tablets is correct and if they do decide to make a 5" nexus phone next its likely they call it the nexus 5. Google pretty much backed themselves in to a corner with the phone naming. Seeing as they will not be able to call the 7th gen nexus phone the nexus 7.
So I agree with you and the naming, just not the nexus 4 naming.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Yeah I've read its not gonna be crazy just a phone that they want to make sure its gonna work perfrectly. The specs did sound similar to the n4. But again that's just rumors.
There's no reason to sell the phone for one that its not even a year old and it will still get official updates for like another 3 years

Usually 1 year increments are not worth it.
Is the Nexus 5 an upgrade? Yes it has a better camera, better processor, etc. However, the Nexus 4 isn't a bad phone and is running the latest version of Android.

Android 5.0 Lollipop

So it's official now: http://www.android.com/versions/lollipop-5-0/
Nexus 6 and Nexus 9 revealed as well: http://www.theverge.com/2014/10/15/6982145/nexus-6-announced-google-specs-availability
It's fappening.
"Check back on October 17 for the Android 5.0 SDK and updated Nexus preview images."
Source: Android developer G+ profile
Nice. Although I'm flashing back to 4.4.4 official and waiting until more apps convert over to ART.
This was posted in the N4 Lollipop thread. UHG Really starting to regret getting a Deb.
"Android Lollipop will ship on Google’s newest Nexus devices, the Motorola-built Nexus 6 smartphone and HTC-built Nexus 9 tablet, both of which were introduced Wednesday. Google said Lollipop will hit the older Nexus 7 and Nexus 10 tablets on Nov. 3 in an over-the-air update. Lollipop will also hit the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 smartphones, as well as the LTE version of the Nexus 7, later in November."
As for phone... Yeah not gonna get the N6.Too expensive and it would be like using my N7 as a phone. I'll just wait for Project Ara. Think that'll be my next phone.
It was supposed to be "lemon pie"
Not lollipop! All the hints were to "lime pie" or "lemon pie"

That would be a real shame if they stop support the new Nexus 7
They already said the Nexus 7's would be getting an official update for Android L. So no need to worry.
We know that bro....just curious!! ^_^
What will happen after lollipop? Will we get that update too?
Nevermind...
I hate that the new Nexus tablet is so expensive. For $100 more than what the Nexus 9 will start at, I got a 10" Windows 8 tablet (full Windows, not that RT crap) with a real keyboard dock (Acer Iconia w510, for anyone who cares). I'll be keeping my Nexus 7. I will pick up the Nexus 6 on contract, though.
