Hmm. That's quite interesting to read.
I was hoping to tell what GPS chipset we are using in it, but I'm not sure it's in there.

That's great !
Thank you for posting this !!

I'm trying to disassemble my Galaxy Note but don't get it. How does the second step work? How to "disjoint the hooks"? Ive been trying serveral hours now but nothing happens except for that I am damaging the plastic "metallic look" frame.
Doesnt work neither with the standard plastic opening tools nor with a credit card. Would like to see pictures or a video on how to do that.
Thank you!

Don't try to disjoint from back, whole black and gray part in the back are just 1 part actually. try it from front. i mean seperate the gray part from the front screen.

Look at sammobile.com for the servicemanuals. It tells you how!

As I wrote above, I already have the Service Manual. However, it doesn't help, cause it only says disjoint it on different spots. There is no indication how to do that.
What do you mean by separating it from the front? Do you have a picture?
Thank you

hey guys I scratched my bezel, is it easy to replace the bezel, I am a non technical person, so is it a matter of just removing the 9 screws

Here is a good video on Youtube:

Great Info Bro!
Thanks for the posting!

And the Russian HD Version!

Hello,

Yes, the top left corner is squeaking when I speak on the phone. Doesn't bother me too much though.

Maybe this is part of the build? If others are experiencing it I wouldn't worry about it.

are you in UK? Do they cross ship? Will they pay for return shipping?

Mine squeaks ever so slightly at the top part if pressed too. It doesn't really bother me. I have a squeaky Thinkpad x220 that nonetheless is as strong as a tank. You can always find faults on these products, I have a feeling if I get mine exchanged for such a small thing I'll end up with a new device with something else to be bothered about.

You'll kick yourself if the replacement comes back with an even worse problem. Like dead pixels/bad screen tint.

Not in HK,,, i went to the store and open at least 2 units to choose....and of course full test ...
Got it replaced ...with aperfect one. but it probably squake again after a while....after some stress on my pants...hehehe
Anyone experience otherwise?

Just noticed bezel near volume rocker is squeaking, n I hate it.

Mines squeaks too, but it's more of the back cover than the bezel.
Might be the way the cover is designed, after a few openings, it deforms slightly?

Guy the top bezel is squeaking because of that feature in the movement settings.. The double tap on the top of the phone makes you come back at the top of the list of your contacts for example.
Try to enable that feature and press two times the bezel that is squeaking.
It wasn't like this in my gs3,but it's more sensitive now.

But this squeaking is a physicsl defect...???

I completely agree. There is no such thing as a perfect device. Everything has an error here or there. So if there is no real problem then be happy I'd exchange mine for problems with the screen or camera. Buttons too. But because it squeaks a little? I'd say forget about it. But that's just me. It's a premier device and you deserve to be satisfied. if you're not satisfied then I'd suggest getting another.

I've had one white one Grey with squeek sound near the volume rocker. And on top of phone when pressing the bezel down against the screen. Hate it and replace it.

Being a long time Blackberry user in the past device squeaks were very common.
A couple months after release a daring owner would take it apart find squeak post fix in forums.
I expect the same will happen with this device.
I'm picking up Sprint Version on Thursday , If it squeaks I will post fix

[Q] [HELP!] Have I damaged my screen?

Hey all,
I received received my LG Nexus 4. I don't know if I may have damaged my screen but hopefully you guys can help clear up my queries.
I've been trying on screen protectors and my case, I don't know if maybe I've damaged it. But, one thing that has lead me to believe this is when I start up Nexus 4, during the Google screen at the top right, there is a bit of light exposure.
Basically, I would assume that during the Google screen at boot up, the whole screen would be black right except where it says Google.
Mine has a bit of faint white light on the top right corner.
Could anyone help clarify this for me?
Appreciate it, thank you!

I'm assuming that on most Nexus 4's that around the Google logo at boot up it is pitch black. But, others with Nexus 4's please check on boot up at the Google screen around the top right edge, do you also have a white/faint tint in the corner?
Are there anyways to check this? That the touchscreen is still functioning in the corner? Am I worrying too much about it? Is there a way of testing the screen?

Is your case still on the device? I'm not sure which one you're using, but it's possible that it may be too tight for the Nexus 4, which is causing pinching of the touchscreen.
You're right, at boot, the screen should be pure black, save for the Google logo and that unlocked icon (for unlocked bootloaders).
You can check if it's still registering touch feedback by going to Settings > Developer options > Show touches. Then try touching that area and looking for a white circle. Or simpler, you can pull down the notification shade from the upper right edge.
If it's still in warranty, maybe you could have it returned too.

I'm using a Ringke Fusion case, it's brand new. This was yesterday I noticed this on the screen, I was a bit annoyed after wasting a couple of screen protectors getting it on, hopefully when I go home and look at it today it looks pure black but I doubt it. I will try out the methods recommended.

@mlag: Surely I couldn't have broken it? Everyday people must put these phones into there jeans or tight trousers and it must put some pressure on the screen. As I said yesterday I was a little frustrated after going through many screen protectors trying to get it on properly. Hopefully today when I switch it on when I go home it looks better.

So I've established that light bleeding on the Nexus 4 along the top of the screen is quite common. After reading from this thread below.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2133655
Now can anyone tell me how light bleeding is caused? I'd appreciate it, thanks!

Its the display itself when made, you can't cause your phone to get light bleed at least I don't think. I also have a little on the top right.

Thanks for your response mate in both threads, I read the other one and I agree with you. It doesn't bother me, it is only because I switched on the new phone yesterday I was just playing with it as I haven't got my new SIM to use it yet. And, I noticed at the top on the right there was a very faint light bleeding, it isn't that noticable.
I will carry on using it as it is.

[Q] Plastic Side crack

Hello,
I have noticed a few days ago a crack on the side just above the stylus house. I never dropped the phone and it is fully protected by a leather case.
Any one had such bad experience and how managed with ùsamsung"

Most cracks happen often due to pressure exerted onto the device.
I can't point any reasons out, but you could have hit it against something hard in your pocket, or sat on it. As Samsung adores the plastic material, this is prone to happen.

It is a problem even on the previous models. I just found my S3 has a crack like that next to the charging port.

Thanks for your messages.
I opened a ticket at Samsung to see what they are going to say.

I showed mine with the same crack to Samsungs Repair Center and they agreed to a repair free of charge.
Try it!

That is a very good news. I'll try who knows...

This can also happen due to rapid temperature changes and strain.

This is not the first time I see someone complaining about bezel crack, you either live with it and ignore it or try Samsung repair, good luck.

speaker grills

I just replaced my battery for the first time and did a pretty bad job taking out the speaker grills. Battery life is now good but seeing the scratches makes me a little sad. It doesn't look like there's any for sale at all on the internet. Was anyone lucky enough to find some? Buying another broken one as a whole for parts doesn't look so easy to get either. Even if I did manage to get one and tried taking the speaker grills from that, I might just end up scratching it again lol. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks a lot just what I needed. That price is perfectly fine for me this makes me very happy. If I was better at taking them off there wouldn't be a price to pay at all but if it's only this much then it isn't a problem. Will do better the second time I take them apart

I have ordered the gold ones, because i have a golden a7. The colour matches perfectly. The blue you see are the grey ones. (I presume, because you have to choose between gold and grey)

Oh u use your a7 without a case? I chipped a part of the plastic edge not only the speaker grills but those edges can be hidden with a case. The speaker grills can't so I'm replacing those. Still a little sad it isn't mint condition anymore but that's what happens when I'm inexperienced at taking it apart. I have a golden a7 too but think I'll try ordering the other color for grills since my black case hides most of the back anyway. Only fingerprint sensor and camera are seen gold. Also I'm afraid to drop it and can't use it without a case like others lol
