Flashed with google stock factory image, which means I wiped everything, flashed stock radio, stock bootloader, stock recovery, and everything's wiped including /sdcard.

Phone will get stuck somewhere along the nexus bootscreen for 1-3 secs, then it'll reboot again, and again, and again.

I locked the bootloader now, gonna take it to LG later.
*
Just boot back to fastboot select recovery n wipe data n cache
Phone should boot up fine

And does the Google developer site include gapps too?
*
No. Just Google for it. You can use the gapps in your N7 for it too
And all your questions you ask about root n bootloader answer is same as nexus 7 which you also have

Oh,i just noticed that,i wanted to start a bulk,but will kena tax?cause i don't know where to go or how to pay tax lol

The courier company will inform you where your package is held up at customs. You just need to go over there and pay the duties/taxes to clear out your package. Or you can pay the courier company a service fee ( can range from at least RM 50 to RM 100+ or over ) , depending on the courier company
To avoid such a hassle just buy -1-2 pieces for yourself and normally you will not be taxed

A few doubts tho, as somemost of his tests are direct-impact tests. I'm wondering on how it fares against side/edge impacts as different impact point will definitely have different effect to the glass.
*
Actually this depends more on force of impact n material of the ground surface.
Seeing several videos I do not even dare to try dropping it
So far I did drop tests only on 2 phones after viewing those demo videos - HTC one X n Xperia Z. Both phones survive dropping from waist height to terazzoo floor

Have to say, am kind of sad that the OTG function on this phone cannot detect my thumbdrive.

USB OTG only works on previous galaxy nexus, HTC one X+, Samsung galaxy phones, Xperia z, HTC butterfly based on my experiences using these

The right choice means the right one for most of us here in this thread. So, i din mean it is a must choice smile.gif. Nvm, time will prove everything. Although we dont have OTG, our camera and speaker are not the best in the market, we dont have so called Amoled screen, we don't even have a stylus, we don't have eyes scrolling option in browsing nor SHOUT X 1000 times SMILE to take a photo BUT we do have the best Android experience that i had experienced or most of us had experienced in this thread!!! smile.gif Cheers Nexus 4 users!

Typical nexus die hard fans
I don't feel as proud as you using it
It is just another phone

Just be happy with your phone whatever it is
What is the point glamourising it?
Worse don't condemn n respect others who choose otherwise
They have their reasons n they could even be smarter n more successful than many of you here

you have a skewed logic

Not skewed logic
Some users talk as if they are the smartest users here just because they use nexus n others don't
If they are so smart they should be quite successful too
I know of many friends who don't use nexus but Samsung/HTC /Huawei n every successful in their careers earning close to a million ringgit a year. They buy phones that suit them not because of pure android n fast updates

I'm so disappointed with my battery life. Hmmm. Surfing for 2 hours : battery 100% ----> 40%

*mobile data on.
*wifi off.
*gps off.
*nfc off.
*brightness the lowest.

Frustrated.

Your 3g signals must be weak to incur such a high battery usage
On 3g typical usage around 20%/hour on most phones having 2k+ mAh battery
Use speedtest app n gauge what download speeds you are getting n do a comparison at various spots to have a better assessment
Getting 4 hours SOT on this phone purely on 3g should not be a problem. With WiFi at least 5 hours n some user even reported 6 hours. I am on 3g 80% of the time as places I go to rarely has WiFi hotspots

It is inevitable sometimes we will get a lemon in our purchase. It depends on luck.
My N7 motherboard got fried after only a week using it and luckily it was under warranty ( even with rooted n flash with CWM recovery). The tablet keep booting to CWM recovery mode and just cannot restart and fail to boot to even fastbootmode. The motherboard was replace FOC but during replacement the tech screw up and offer me a new unit for replacement. At least ASUS offer international warranty and my set I purchased directly from Google USA
My second lemon purchase was HTC Touch Pro and motherboard replaced FOC due to faulty GPS after a month.
It is not good that the LG Penang service center is poor in handling repairs and it does gives a bad impression to Nexus buyers
