did you cut your sim card? or it came as a micro? if you cut it, try filing the edges so that it can fit the tray nicely. during insertion it should be very smooth.

i had the same problem too, after filing it. it works. i guess the sim didnt make a full contact to the pins in the phone.

so it is already a micro sim? or the smallest, nano? sorry but i am not quite sure about the new standard here. if it is already micro, then just trying filing the edges a bit. use your nail filer, should work. i filed the plastic part, not the chip part.

they have restocked some of the bumpers. you can call them and ask whether it is rev 1 or 2. do ask whether they'll provide warranty. if still rev 1, then i'd say not worth it for 89 and without warranty. the peeling issue is for real. there is a long xda thread for it. better get from shirogawa or other seeler rev 2 with warranty from usa.

latest news from xda is rev 3 is coming. i ordered rev 2 from racerx.

maybe the yellow black one i'll purchase it in a few months time. i dont mind though, 3 years warranty.

Warranty is available if you import. Bro shirogawa would assist. Poetic gives three years warranty. Free replacement so far

Have just read the link. Apparently it affects original LG bumpers too. i misread the striked part

I guess using two different materials together poses a different challenge than just a tpu only bumpers. Now i wonder how good are those two lg like bumpers sold by sakura and lemon.

Why cant they produce a simple tpu one.

yeah definitely misread that! the eyes tend to skip a few words when you are reading it on the phone, the texts are much smaller.

why dont you get one from shirogawa or other bulk orders then? at least you'll get a full 3 years warranty from poetic, at a cheaper price too. around 50+ from shirogawa.

this thing is a bit annoying though, some folks at xda have been using rev 1 since it first came out with no issue. some used it for a few days and the peeling started. if you check the thread now, they said rev 3 is coming soon how many rev do they need till they get it right? should have appointed a better QC manager. regardless of how affordable it is, things like this shouldn't happen the second time.
not sure on stock. with BMW it will put 'full' as a text. i have only charged it to full twice, the first time i got it, and the following day. have always stopped at 80+ %.
mako is the codename of our device. you might be referring to faux kernel? really hard to say about kernels, your mileage might vary based on your usage. just try it out for one day and have the stock kernel reset zip file ready just in case you need to restore it.

yeah for a bumper that has a good feedback on how it feels etc, the QC is disappointing. oh well, just use the 3 yrs warranty if it happens!
sama la kita. i have issues only with YouTube and sometimes Play Store won't connect. on laptop it is fine.
just unplug bro. if you read a few test papers done on li-ion battery pun they don't recommend fully charging the battery. it'll shorten the lifespan of the battery faster. deep discharge is not good too. i try to charge mine before it goes lower than 40% and stop charging at 80%.

if you average life cycle for a phone is just one year, that you don't really have to bother about all this, just unplug when it is almost full.

But if you are expecting two years or more from the device then try to stick to 40-80% method. you can read more from battery university and these links.

[INFO] *UPDATED -17 June 09* Battery life problems? Stop here!

[Guide] Everything you wanted to know about Li-Ion batteries but were afraid to ask!

personally, all my devices still have good battery health with the above method. My G1's battery was borked within 7 months because i thought it was best to fully charge and discharge.

just a guide bro. of course on average daily usage you'll need to use it more than just 40%. i can't do it everyday either. but when i can, i would.

just enjoy the phone, don't have to worry so much. it is just a guide if you want to extend the health of the battery.

bring another N4 along to compare and show them (or use their demo unit) and ask for a replacement. (can still get one to one replacement at the shop you bought it, if it is within 7 days of purchase) regardless of how faint it is, you should get a good unit.

I don't have the static issue but if i do have one it will surely bug the hell out of me. you have paid a good fortune for it, get it replaced.

when i was on stock, i didn't have the issue on either 4.2 or 4.2.1. when i tried some other ROMs (minco,aokp,cfx, cm) pun no problem. so most likely a hardware issue? i set my in-call volume to max in all of my setup.

it depends on your network provider's capabilities and coverage really. if your provider support DC-HSPA+ you'll get a very good speed.

i have tried using the wireless hotspot feature and created an access point. the device that is connected to Nexus 4's hotspot were able to get 13-14mbps. this is with my network provider that supports DC-HSPA+.

good coverage + dc hspa+ nexus 4 = good speed. the wireless hotspot's speed also rely on this speed to be good.someone mentioned it here, or in the previous thread. iinm la. just go back to the store and request a new unit.

go towards the end of this page and use the search feature that is located on top of the 'fast reply' text. search for sim. report back after you have tried the steps that i used on my micro sim.

yeap. could be a problem at either

a) power source

b)charger

c)cable
d) the phone

try switching to a different power point or use a different original micro usb charger.

How does the buttons feel with the case? Are they still easily press-able?
no problem there. The test papers that i read recommend to charge when you can. shallow discharge is better than deep discharge. Yes it does automatically stop charging at 100, but a full charge is not optimal if you really really want to extend the battery life.i normally stop at 80 plus. To be honest, average smartphone lifecycle is very short,just charge it as usual and use it as usual. The batteries are good enough to last you for 1 to 2 years. What everyone seems to agree is to not let your battery run out till a very low level like 5% etc selalu.tu confirm kaput cepat

Nexus is very easy. Even the manual cmd way is just fastboot oem unlock,to unlock the bootloader. Try the cmd method if you want to learn more. very easy actually. A good learning experience id say. At least youll understand how the toolkit works.the toolkit is just a GUI

if Nexus 4 have OTG, it can even connect to another device and act as a host. with this, you can root the other device from nexus 4! this is is doable on Galaxy Nexus, someone did it before, not many know about this though, i remember watching a video demoing how to do it, by koz i think. this is one of the many reasons to not let go of your Galaxy Nexus

from what i have read at xda, we won't be getting any OTG through software hack (kernel etc) because of limitation in the hardware. the hardware is there, it is just that it is not connected. i am not sure whether they intentionally did this or it is a snafu during production.

things that i wished it would have
1. OTG support
2. earphone jack at the bottom of the phone
3. brighter notification LED, doesn't it look a bit dimmer than the GNex? i am not sure though, have not compared them side by side.

but, it is still the best Nexus yet! very very happy to jump on the Nexus bandwagon with the N4 as my first Nexus!

hi tcmean
perhaps put a short guide in cpu binning and hw version on how to check them.

maybe put a link next to it?

for hw version should be fairly short "reboot to bootloader to check, power on while holding volume down"

you can bypass google music restriction i have been using it since it was launched to the public. i will share how to do it tomorrow, maybe in the new thread.
