Hope you guys will get your dream phone soon. After about a week with it, I must say this is not a great phone. It's a fantabulous phone. Best I've owned.

Pros
-blazing quick android 4.2
-crisp and clear beautiful screen with natural colors
-solid build quality with a sexy back
-not a bad camera after getting to know how to focus a picture properly. And photosphere being the party trick of course. And it works
-basically, everything about the phone and UI not listed as cons below

Cons
-major power hog. Better get a car charger or powerbank with you
-runs quite hot with continuous usage
-speaker located on back of phone. May not hear ring tone or playback with phone on its back
-vibration intensity is weaker than your pulse. Could easily miss a notification
-led notification is too dim and intervals too slow.
-touch responsiveness occasionally is stuttered, usually inputs that need bigger swipes

That's all I can recall for now but believe me, you, this is a darn good phone and the best Android experience so far.

I couldnt agree more..

Exactly spot on if i am to review as well.

btw, to overcome the power issue, i have just gotten a powerbank.
decided to go with power bank rather than sacrifizing my enjoyment with this N4 by turning down the brightness, battery saver or whatever...

Just enjoy to the max...

not enough juice, just charged it up again and GO! tongue.gif

Interesting info to check your N4 birth date and shipping date.

Just insert your imei number at the end of this URL:

Hmm, I wonder if there are any transparent hard casings for the Nexus 4. I don't wanna hide the gorgeous back, but at the same time only applying a layer of protective film makes me feel insecure.. rclxub.gif

Get front and back screen protector then hit on with the original bumper..

looks good for me.. smile.gif

On 3G? Or whole day wifi? If wifi only, this battery usage is very bad.

Bros...

I am really getting worried of my battery life.

Can all Bros who already have their N4 share your battery stats here?

As I am reading 3 pages of N4 post I keep seeing my battery percentage drop 1 by 1.

Wondering if I really got a lemon battery. Dammed.

Please tell me other wise....

why kind of setup do you guys have? are you guys fully stock kernel and os with the battery drain? If i am not mistaken, there is a wakelock bug in the official build.

if your bootloader is already unlocked, you can just flash  franco's stable kernel without rooting. xda folks said this fixed the battery drain.

My n4 is still a tight virgin. Haven't root yet.

you dont have to root to flash a kernel. you need to unlock the bootloader, this however will wipe your device's data completely. after that, you are left with a stock unrooted rom with an unlocked bootloader. you can then flash the kernel via fastboot.

but, if you want to get back official OTA, you need to reflash google's stock kernel. all these can be done without rooting.

but if it was me, i'll just unlock bootloader + root + flash Minco AOSP build tongue.gif very close to stock, just a little bit add in here and there

Is there any kind soul who willing to come out for a Teh tarik and have a rooting 101 class for me?

Here's the link:

Replace "xxxxxx" with your N4 serial number on your N4 box...

Also, the stock at The Nexus Store/Hotspot comes with 4.2 and upon upgrade, goes to 4.2.1 so far. The Nexus Store/Hotspot LYP may allow you to log in into their Wifi hotspot which is VPN-ed to US VPN to allow upgrade to 4.2.2 on the spot while you have retrieved your preordered N4 at the store itself.

Bro, can share in more detail how can I get 4.2.2 update?

Having very bad battery drain. Hoping 4.2.2 would rectify this.

Appreciate your advice.

Thanks!

Developer units only will get 4.2.2 now. Commercial consumer channel units will get it when they release an OTA update for it. For the time being, 4.2.1 is the latest.

But I thought you mentioned earlier that we would be able to get 4.2.2 thru Hotspot VPN WiFi?

Well. If all already has done. No problem than. U can either flash kernel using fastboot or recovery. I would suggest flash thru recovery. Easier. Now
1.download the kernel into ur phone.
2.Reboot into recovery.
3.go to install install zip from sdcard>choose zip from sdcard>0>
4.select the kernel and flash it.
5.wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permission if needed.
5.reboot system now.
Thats it. Goodluck. thumbup.gif
Where is ur place? If near i can consider. U want to learn the hard or easy ways ur choice. icon_rolleyes.gif

I am from KL bro. Staying at Cheras.

It is not all about help for rooting but also getting to know new friends and learn more about rooting. Nothing beats having it over a cuppa coffee and hear from experts face to face. I believe you will learn more this way. smile.gif
