Hi guys,
thanks for lending me ur precious time towards my thread. I am out in the market to get a phone, lets say a smartphone..
And the only one that could impress me was the NEXUS 4 !!!
But the problem is , I live i India, and the phone hasnt released here...but yet a few websites. like ebay are selling 'em..
Is the device awesome? Compared to HTC One x+??
And is it capable of handling all future apps??
And last one, should i get a phone now or shud i wait...??
THANK YOU...Regards
bought the device 2 days ago .........
first impression :- design and feel = great
turned it on was dissapointed as the display was washed out as i came from amoled note screen ...... but fixed it with kernelsa and the brightness was too good in sunlight
started liking it alot
but suddenly started using 3G and phone got crazy hot in low signal and even normal signal
so hot that i couldnt take calls
the performance is the best but its a phone first so im returning mine
these problems can be fixed using kernels but i still wont be keeping it :/

I would wait until google io next wednesday to see if they announce an updated nexus 4, and then make your decision. Prices may go down on the original nexus 4 if they do.
Is the device awesome? I would say its the real google android experience, always first to get updates. So many roms/kernels to flash or you could just stay stock. Its really your decision, but more importantly I'd make sure you get good coverage with a nexus 4 in your area.

thanks a lot
I'm supposed to pick up mine on 15th. Can't keep an eye on the keynote due to time-zone difference.
I don't give a rat's a$$ about LTE support and 32gb storage so my question is: should I postpone the pickup date to 16th of May? Are there any features other than LTE & 32gb storage Google might have up it's sleeve?
A price drop seems kinda irrelevant too because it'll probably take weeks after the announcement for the prices to decrease in retail stores.
Appreciating any advice.
weeks? retail stores?
google playstore
Ordered mine 2-days ago.. I doubt we will see anything from Google l/0 re: a new Nexus..
I'd assume we would have heard rumors by now as Google is not very good at keeping secrets..

Let's hope it's only a minor update :fingers-crossed:
Let's just say if 4.3 gets announced at I/O your phone the N4 will get it before any other non Nexus device. If the latest and greatest software is one of your needs the N4 will be a very good bet.
I'm interested in this too as I just received my N4. I haven't even opening the shipping box yet because I don't know if I should start using the phone or wait until I/O....if I open the phone box I get charged a restocking fee if I return it. I move to the UK in 2 weeks so I'm not even sure if LTE matters as it's quite expensive there. But, I am really more interested in a price drop in the 16GB.
Recommend waiting or just going for it?

I am by no means an expert nor do I have any inside knowledge but I doubt the 16GB will get a price drop even if they release an refreshed Nexus 4..
I just ordered one a few days ago and as soon as it arrives I am cracking that box open..
Plus, since you just bought it, I am sure if Google did announce a price drop you could call and get some sort of credit for the price difference..

You'll enjoy the nexus 4 if you dont expect a whole lot. Battery life definitely not as good as s4 but I still came back to it.

He came from a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket so he does not even notice the lag..
After the nexus and using it for two days i love it for its pure experience and performance but it heats up a lot according to my liking so going to return it if i can
After other phones go
S4 - dont like touch wiz and late updates
But i certainly love samoled and the octa core laggy
Htc one - bad button placements allround from power to home buttons and lack of detail in camera
I dont know which way to go even if i return the n4
Unlock the boot loader, root it and install a custom kernel and say goodbye to extreme heat.

Define "soon" . you may be waiting until around November or so. I think the back glass itself is sleek as all hell. I'm just afraid of breaking it. So I put it in a case where I don't get to enjoy its beauty.

Here's what I said in a thread of someone asking if it's worth it. Basically: you should buy it.
Johmama said:
The main pros of the Nexus 4 that I keep listing anytime I tell people about it are the following:
1. Price. $350 is pretty much half the price of any other competitor to the Nexus 4
2. Pure Android, updated directly from Google. As soon as a new version of Android is released, it's on the Nexus. Google develops Android FOR this device.
3. Design. Glass front and back, it's a solid phone. Looks sleek.
Now, newly-released phones do have slightly better hardware. But we're getting to the point of diminishing returns. We're packing so much hardware into these devices, you'll hard-pressed to find software that actually makes use of it. I think the only debate you should be having is buy the Nexus 4 now, or wait until the next Nexus comes out, possible during the holidays. That isn't to say this phone won't still be a solid phone then, but I can understand if some people wait to buy updated versions.
To answer your question: yes. It is definitely worth it. At $350, it's fiscally irresponsible NOT to buy a Nexus 4. Right now I'm paying $30/mo for a tablet plan on AT&T with 3gb of data. Having weird and crazy options like that don't seem to happen with other phones. I feel like the Nexus 4 is YOUR phone, not 80% your phone, 20% the manufacturer's.
Spoiler alert: I might be a little biased, but c'mon. It's a sweet phone.

Thanks everyone for replies, especially @Johmama . How's the battery life and speaker sound? I wish I could buy it now, but I have tickets to pay so I have to wait a month
Not to mention the strong development support, if you're the adventurous type it's nearly impossible to hard-brick a Nexus.
Pure Android (AOSP) is rather nice by itself and I could live with that, but I like to go custom a bit .

Well battery isn't as long as say a Galaxy S3 with a 7000mAh extended battery on it. The N4 uses a 2100mAh battery and depending on your usage, it could last maybe 4 hours of constant screen usage at full brightness (screen takes most the battery), or it can last over 21 with the occasional checking of facbook, emails, etc once every couple of hours.
Here's a screenshot when I finally got it down to zero percent. (it stayed idle overnight as I slept, and then I used it here and there during the day.)

LoL, true we may be bias, but I'll at least tell you quirks I've noticed. Even so I'd still pick an N4 unless all the other brands want to ship full AOSP at the same price and include extras like maybe a micro-SD card slot or replaceable battery . I kind of wish you could use USB-OTG without a 5V adapter, but I don't use my phone the same way I use my Tablet.

It usually lasts me the whole day until late. I'm not constantly using it, however. I'm on all stock so you'd get much better battery running a different kernel and rom

Well I'm not buying a phone of any of you, so it's not like someone has to advertise it so I'd buy it. That's why I asked in N4 forum, because all of you have N4.
Basic stuff like Wifi and 3G data have hardware or driver problems. I sometimes wish I'd paid $100 more for a phone that has had more testing/QA. (Not sure there is a better phone for only $100 more, though.) I still prefer this phone to the SGS3, which has fundamentally bad OS design and poor compatibility with third party Android builds.
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of buying S5, so I'll need your tips. Is it still worth to buy? The phone has been out for half a year so... I want to ask you.
I'm planning to buy it through my carrier, (I'm new to Samsung), is it sim locked/region locked?

The phone itself is still top notch atm, its fast ,fluid and almost without lag. If you tweak it a bit its blazing fast even out of the box, look here for some usefull tips http://phandroid.com/2014/04/25/samsung-galaxy-s5-first-14-things-to-do/. The speakers are descent, the screen is great and the cpu/gpu are great for gaming. I`am sure you will enjoy the phone. I installed Nova laucher though for more custumisation of the UI and icons and for the handy shortcuts and gesture control.
There is a region lock but it can be lifted and dependng on the carrier some have simlock but mostly in the US afaik..

Buying Galaxy S5 is really a good deal.The in-hand feel is better.It has a rather unusual, slightly soft-touch textured and pitted finish. This ensures you won't mistake the Galaxy S5 for any other phone one the market.

[GUIDE] [MAJOR UPDATE:5-JUL-14] Extreme Batterylife thread ADVANCE SETUP GUIDE
Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some feedback on their Google Nexus 6P? What they think of the device in general, any issues, etc. I currently have a LGG3 phone on the sprint network. Have had this phone a couple years and I'm looking to upgrade to the Google Nexus 6P or the next generation Marlin. I have always rooted my devices and installed custom roms. Are these devices easy to root and install roms and is the development support good for these devices? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Hi, there's some interesting information in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/upgrade-to-2016-nexus-marlin-t3417724
Don't get the 6p. Wait for Marlin. The phone and headphone jack on this phone are pathetic. People constantly tell me that I signs like I am under water. I can't wait until the new phones are released.

I have had an LG G3 for a short while and a few things that i miss from it are the
~ Replaceable battery
~ The almost instant with the camera for macro shots
~ The ability to arrange the Navigation buttons
The above three apart, Nexus 6P is a much better phone, however do not buy the phone yet. Wait until Marlin/Pixel comes out and Nexus 6P's price would plummet further

Thanks. I like the lg g3 but been having signal issues where all of a sudden get no signal and then have to reboot to get signal back, possible radio issue. I have a extended battery in it that i love. I am itching to get a new phone but am disgusted with the carrier's/manufacturers lack of initative in updating the OS. I figured a Google phone would remedy that issue. So, if you were me, would you wait and get the Marlin/pixel or get the 6p when the price drops. I would like to get a state of the art phone one that can run vr just in case i become interested in it but from what i read in this thread, the Marlin may not be better than the 6p? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

When the 6p price drops, where will it be? Google, Swappa, Amazon........?

If you want a brand new phone I would check the Google store or possibly Amazon. Swappa would be a good place to look for a good used one. They occasionally have new phones, but most of what they sell is used.
I'm hoping for at least $150-200 off from the Google store, but that's probably dreaming...

Both have been reported by others as well. I am switching to PixelXL as soon as possible because of these problems. Honestly I think people give the 6p a pass. Who knows why. I am hoping the next release (Nexus/Pixel) will be full flagship quality and not 85% flagship quality.
To each their own.

Yes. I will give it a try.
havent been on here for awhile but anyways....
So i work at my electronics department at Walmart. beginning of last week we got some new AT&T prepaid phones in for a new mod that we are going to be setting up. well one of the phones was an Huawei Ascend XT2 (H1711). i search, and search for info on this phone and couldn't really find anything about this phone besides being able to download a user guide for this phone.
well i bought one knowing nothing about it what phone, and or chipset it uses etc etc...
To be honest been using it for a day now, and i'm simply amazed of the quality/feel/looks of this phone, and i'm really shocked i can't find anything about this phone anywhere.
have you guys heard anything about this phone?
if this thread is in the wrong place please move it.
I picked one up myself. For my father, but I've been playing with it for the last few days. It's really a decent device..
I haven't been able to find anything on it either.
Thanks for posting about this new phone. I was wondering if there was going to be a successor to the H1611.
How much are the H1711s currently selling for?
freakshow11582, I would recommend pulling your images with the phone IMEI shown and repost them with the IMEI whited out.
I'm not sure I trust CPU-Z as the H1611 is ARM64 and gets reported as ARM architecture by CPU-Z. I'm guessing it's doing the same for the H1711.
Your one image shows 3.76GB free - did you already load up a lot of files into internal storage?
Thanks again for the information and I think this is a perfect place for this thread right now until we see how much interest there is for this model.
---------- Post added at 10:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------
I just noticed that the H1711 is smaller at 5.5" vs the 6" H1611.

Will probably be like the H1611. First only Walmart had an overpriced TPU case for $20. Then a few months later other reasonably priced cases showed up for much less. I'd suggest to keep checking eBay.

Huh?
So people that have bought Ascend XT2 H1711, what do you guys think about it?
Seems like just the two of you have the H1711 here so far.
What other phones did you consider in this price range before deciding on the H1711? People who bought the LG Phoenix 2 got updated from M to N, while our H1611s are still on M.
How do you like N and what phone were you using before?

i went to pick up XT to unlock for my uncle. I was paying for it without even knowing i was getting the 2. Came out to be like 120 something. I told the guy the price said 49.88 and talked to a manager and got the phone for 49.99. Came to find out dang AT&T stopped all the unlocking unless you paid 6months of service. Now, i have a good deal on a phone but cant really use it.
You can still use it on any AT&T based MVNO or AT&T itself. Which carrier were you planning to use?

Seems like just the two of you have the H1711 here so far.
What other phones did you consider in this price range before deciding on the H1711? People who bought the LG Phoenix 2 got updated from M to N, while our H1611s are still on M.
How do you like N and what phone were you using before?

I also have the Phoenix 2 I gave it to my daughter cause she wanted it. And only got this phone cause I was curious about it.. Before this phone I was using LG X power, and zte max xl (zte went to **** and only month old.) for virgin mobile.
Best Buy has the Phoenix 2 for $40 if you want one for yourself .
Loving mine so far, bought 10/13. Only complains are how easy the screen is to smudge and nearly impossible to keep clean. Also since I bought it Ive been laying it camera down on tissues because I don't have a case yet like everyone and don't want to scratch the camera lens. I was wondering if anyone can confirm or verify that the raised ring around the rear camera lens is raised higher than the lens, because to my finger and eye it feels flush, I'm afraid to set it down and scratch the lens.
Also I've messed with just about every setting/option there is on the phone and custom launchers so if anyone has any questions about stuff like that I can probably help.

Nope the lens on my camera is flush with the ring., and also using a custom launcher nova launcher to be exact.
$120 XT for over the $60 XT, I dont see the advantage. Same screen, same ram and same storage.

I thought the XT is an quad Core phone?
