Hi, got a little urge to look for 2nd hand N4, but the only major thing stopping me now is the non-removable battery.

As I know, battery life will eventually deplete and will need to buy a replacement battery(be it original or oem or sunglobal etc), but what happens when the battery is non-removable?

Another thing is, what happens when the device freeze? Cuz my normal practice now(I'm on Gnex) is if nothing works and the screen just freeze(for whatever reason since I do go for light custom rom and kernel) I'll just resort to battery pull and it'll solve everything. But I wonder what I'm gonna do if battery is non-removable?

thanks.

If you did refer first page, the battery replacement cost RM80 and can be replaced on the spot.

I'm also on GNex btw (like to lurk here though, more active here biggrin.gif)

I'll hold my money and wait for Nexus 5. GNex serving me very alright.

For phones with non-removable battery, long pressing power button will "kill" the phone just like your laptop/PC. It will completely shut down then you can power it up back. On GNex, long pressing won't work but can pull battery. Nexus 4 IINM even in bootloop, long press power button can cut its power. Not so sure biggrin.gif

thanks, so even AP N4 also can change battery at SC? Or only original?

I wanna wait for N5 as well but then again the price will definitely be out of my budget and I probably don't need that high specs, N4's 2GB and quadcore should be enough to get me smooth multitasking. Current Gnex will ocassionally lags when heavy multasking switching between apps.
