went to digital mall just now....got a phone shop salesman told me that Nexus 4 will come into malaysia via telcos and lg won't even be selling it...take this info with a large pinch of salt...coz i don't know how reliable is his info~

since you're soooooo good at connections..why not you help book us for supplies of said phones? knowing prices aren't that much of a use but help forumers get the phones are ten times more useful.

Please and thanks!

sorry if this question has been repeated before. Does anyone know the warranty period that LG gives for their phones? if its two years i would think that N4 will be a good buy at RM1.8k...but...nowadays how can a phone last 1+ years without being technologically impaired by newer phone techs... that being said, the question i pose to to the floor is: would anyone still buy the malaysian set at 2 years warranty given that it is priced at RM1.8k? or will you get the out-of-country set as phones don't even last 1+ years and don't give a damn about the warranty. thx

thanks for the reply. i'm assuming that those who don't care about warranty would not mind the fact that the phone might have problems half a year down the road and will just change phones? I'm a different sort of user whereby my 1st phone, nokia 6610, lasted about 4 years and my current SE k810i(barely surviving), 5 years. So i really hope that i could keep phones til at least 2+ years given that the industry don't make 8cores a hype by the end of 2013. do you guys think that N4 is worth the keeping? or by looking at trends right now, it won't even last half a year(i'm hoping 4cores to be the norm for quite a while. the only upgrading part will be graphics and screen techs)

need to add that the back glass does crack easily(go search for reviews from prominent tech reviewers).

it is a worrying factor when one considers to buy N4..

Mr. Pang very kesian...we all know what is he talking about (at least i am) and he's not taking sides...but the guys in the comments are just relentless and just blatantly accused him of being paid by lg to write lowyat posts....

i think we are all hyped up by the availability of the phone then to seriously discuss the tech behind the phone and what the N4 is all about..*drumroll*..its a developer phone, or at least it is a normal user friendlier for someone to tweak around the phone.

my question to those who has their respective N4:
1. have you guys rooted it?
2. has anyone tried google wallet on it to purchase stuff in shops with nfc support?

thx~

thanks for the clearup. I have no idea where in malaysia can we utilise this feature other than sharing files between nfc enabled phones. Sorry for the "mess-up".

also, i assumed that not a single unit from users here has the rumoured purple-ish hew that was brought up about a month ago right?

question, would those "wave" machine(maybank issued) at counters work with the nfc? has anyone tried it?

i was thinking because the Nexus series was made not because of normal users but more for developers. anyhow, definitely anyone can buy it and use it normally without rooting or don't find the need to have root apps, rom flashing, kernel flashing, etc but won't it be fun that a newcomer to the nexus series play around and enjoy the benefits of having a developer-worthy phone? as how i see it, it will a good phone for both newcomer and current android users to further enhance their knowledge of how android works and familiarise with whats going on in the developer world. Basically, it ensures that by having a nexus and playing around with it, one can be part of the on going development and in some ways contribute to the developer community by giving feedbacks or just plain testing newly released stable roms.
OR, maybe i'm just saying all these as i felt that geeky part of me wanted to be more into development than average ppl.

I'm actually interested on feedbacks from current onwers, i knew that a few pages back kuntakite (i hope i've spelled it right) did made a hell of a great review...would like to know whether current onwers who owned the phone 1month-ish are able to report steady battery drain as compared to first few early cycles? and ANY problems they face?(has the phone hanged on certain apps, etc) thx

I have read in some reviews that they too have heard of buzzing noises from the ear-speaker...hope its not hardware prob

thumbs up for Doomsday and Kuntakinte for the feedbacks we hoped to have more plus perks you guys enjoy and not much downsides to the phones. next trivial, has anyone broke their V card? (root)

another trivial, has any owners got annoyed by the 3 touch keys at the bottom when using apps?(accidentally touched one of them while playing games. etc). do we actually have to live with it and get ourself familiar with the phone and in good time won't develop the habbit of touching them while working on the phone? also, is there any apps(rooted, non-rooted) that hides those 3 touch buttons and users can bring them back up when in need?

regards screen sensitiveness. It has to do with the construction of the screen. by right it should not be that responsive with previous GNex because they have merged the layers( touch sensitive and pixel screens) together to make the phones thinner. this feature is on the iphone5 too. i can't remember where i read/view the review but it is stated. will report back with link when i manage to find that piece of info.

*somewhat unrelated new year wishes from your's truly*
Happy new years to all in this thread! May the new year brings best of health to you all and to our green little friend

writing this before all go for countdown...

currently i've went to the mcmc website and the portal is down for some reason(upgrading new T&C maybe?) but our very own lowyat editor Chapree did made an Article regarding this. Please do scroll until you see a picture showing step by step instructions. For what i know, those who are already working(employed) needed to key in their EPF number during registration.

coming back to thread topic. Those who have the N4, there were some owers back a few pages said that the heat coming out from the back of the phone(upper center) was significant until it gets uncomfortable. Mind reporting back any issues after prolonged usage under those circumstances? (playing games, stuff you did on the phone that requires high performances/performance usage).

ermm...i won't say scrapped yet coz it was just from a tweet from YB yatim. but potentially yes, it will be scrapped and RM200 rebate will be incurred on every other phone(note, POTENTIALLY)
