haiz... i feel like selling my nexus 4. this is my first vanilla android experience and im not too happy with it.
just when i thought battery is fine last night it drain 7% on 6 hours sleep. now have to keep observing which apps that cause it or is it android JB itself.
when i first got the phone i find that i had to find some productivity apps myself. there was no memo, no sound recording apps, and i had to search for a better calendar coz google calendar lacks so much things. then i use this profile manager on my old gingerbread, too bad it does not work on JB. finding another profile manager to work with JB was a pain in the ass. i know this is the dev problem for not updating their apps but i also see this is the bad thing that we have so many android version. like out of 10 profile manager apps, only 1 or 2 works for JB .
google made OTA update so troublesome (cannot remove any system app, cannot modify battery icon, etc..)
im not trying to say vanilla android is bad or something, but sometimes i think that it should include a few basic necessary apps.
pre-install google apps like google earth and all does not make it pure vanilla android either (kinda like, u said its pure android but u include ur own company apps)
getting fast update is probably the only good thing abut vanilla android sad.gif

Sorry you feel that way. I am still on Stock ROM, very happy about it.

In some point, I am like you, I don't like non-sense software in my phone. This is the main reason I like Nexus. No non-sense app. Try compare to ANY other phone, you will appreciate how lean the stock ROM is.

Wanna customize battery icon? Worry about OTA? doh.gif

For those who still "worry" about battery drain after 4.2.2...

think of battery is your $, if u use it, it will deplete... if u dont want it deplete so quickly, spend less; use wifi, 2G, etc. if cannot, and u wanna spend more... u just need to find more $ or charge it more frequent

my typical usage is 2 day per charge... i am actually hoping to get a daily charge but, it's not even half at end of day...

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!

hehe.. my friend's dad just bought an Samsung S3 for RM1.9k... doh.gif

what a sucker... seriously... pardon my language...

for those who done enough research and know what is Android, the choice will be obvious...

What kind of Android experience are talking about here? Fast OTA from Google?
*
yup fast OTA from Google for one. Come May in Google IO, Nexus 4 will get Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie. Other phones? Still on Ice Cream Sandwich or Jellybean 4.1.

how slow is other manufacturer? i read this last week, i almost wanna cry:

http://www.engadget.com/2013/03/07/htc-one-x-att-jelly-bean/

FINALLY, HTC One will get JellyBean 4.1... wow...

secondly, ever use TouchWiz from Samsung before? ever used HTC Sense from HTC before? i did (only TouchWiz), i hate it. manufacturer adding another layer to Android just to differentiate themselves.. most of the time, the new GUI layer even suckier than the original...

Is again your opinion nexus is a better product than others
Not everyone thinks like you
Dont be so arrogant

yes, that is my opinion. but i m not saying all nexus is better.

without going into anything specific, yes this is my damn opinion:

Nexus 4 > Samsung S3 (even if both same price)

People that buy S3 at higher price than Nexus 4... *flying spaghetti monster*

I am proud of my Nexus 4. I think I made a damn right choice. If you dont, it's your problem.

when android 5 key lime pie is out can the nexus 4 upgrade from jellybean to Key L P?

sure can. this is the key strength of the nexus line. Nexus S which released 2010 still get Jellybean (4.1)

google has something up in his sleeves as usual... as Google IO 2013 getting close, we should start seeing more... for now, check this out:

there are many Easter egg if u press the correct code:

Phone was bought from Seberang Prai AEON Mall.
Sent to LG Electronics, Bandar Bayang Baru.

Good news is that DiGi is willing to help out on the issue. However, at the end of the day it's LG who holds the phone.

from my limited experience and knowledge on service stuff, 1st level support should be from Digi; call drops, phone crash, etc... if still cannot solve, goes to manufacture. Same with any phone.

dont pay a single cent. you have 12 months warranty:

S4 600 is basically s4 pro with faster clock speed and memory bandwidth. So in term of performance, should be the same. My N4 running at 1.7ghz already 23k antutu score (siggy). A little better than the leak benchmark.
