I just received my nexus 4 yesterday and immediately noticed that there was a gap between the bezel and side of the phone. This gap is only on the left side of the phone and is directly below the volume rocker. This phone came like this right out of the box.
Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?
Mines fine. Get a bumper and you won't notice either.

Not me... But if it bugs you, you can request for a replacement.

So you are suggesting that I get a $20 accessory to cover up an issue that shouldn't have been there in the first place...
You will probably tell me i'm holding it wrong next.

Lol to the last sentence. I was not being rude.
My nexus plastic squeak when pressures on the bottom & randomly screen turns on for no reason.
Even with those issue I rather have it still than replace it. ATM since there's huge demand.

My N4 doesn't have this issue.
Get an RMA.
I would defiantly get a replacement... looks like someone dropped it!
You can ask Google to let you keep the device until a replacement arrives.

My fault... I wasn't trying to be rude either, even though I was.
I'm just a bit dumbfounded by everyone's reaction to devices having issues right out of the box. It is sad when a device is so in demand that customers become accustom to issues.
I hope that Google can resolve this issue quickly.

I think I read somewhere that they have available Nexus 4's set aside specifically for RMA. A plus is you can keep your phone till you get the new one.

I just called Google and they're issuing me a replacement. The only downside is there's going to be a Nexus 4 hold charge on my credit card.
That aside the procedure is they're going to sent me a device and I'll suppose to return my device when i received it.
Lol, people can easily abuse the RMA by RMA a issue-free Nexus 4 device and selling it/get another.

Great when trying to process my RMA I get an error

That isn't an option. If you look at the pictures I posted, the plastic next to the volume rocker is actually pushed out about 1mm. If it was still sitting flush with the bezel then I would probably could have just pushed it in.
I wonder what would happen if I kept this RMA phone lol. 299$ no shipping hmm not bad deal.

Old defect nexus 4 gets remotely deactivated when you start using new phone. It is specially mentioned on Google support website that Google may deactivate defective/stolen phones remotely.
But this can't be true until someone take a risk of 350 bucks and blacklist their own Google account. Mind you Google orders are with Google account, if we don't follow their rules we maybe forced to give them up.

There isn't any like this one, either way, people would be talking about that and there would be a post. If you look on ebay or amazon, you can find similar cases, but not any even close to the one that google might sell in a future. The existing ones are heavier, more thick, and seem to hold the tablet pretty strong. Stay with a neoprene one untill samsung or google make one...

I think there are a lot of people waiting for something like this. I'm in agreement with other posters, if the official one (or something else that used the magnets on the back properly) appears you'll know because there'll be threads about it.

True. But until the one we see in the pictures from a few posts ago actually is released, the MoKo is a fantastic alternative.
Well my girlfriend just dropped her HTC First that she got less than a month ago on our linoleum floor and the screen completely spider-webbed. And when I say "completely" I mean the ENTIRE screen. The "gorilla glass" they supposedly put on this phone is more like fine China. It didn't even land on the actual screen....
Anyway, are there any replacement screens out for this thing yet? I know it just came out and my question will most likely fall on deaf ears but figured I would give it a go. Also a disassembly guide would be beneficial as well.
Thanks in advance

dude first of all gorilla glass only protects against scrachs not falls and not yet for the screen there ain't any around so be more careful with ur newly purchased phones
2 feet onto some soft linoleum should cause this type of damage I'm sorry. I've dropped my HTC one x onto the corner of a vice at work directly onto the screen and nothing happened. And also, the so called "insurance that we have said it would be 199$ to fix it and HTC gave me a quote of 150$ to fix it. Nice to know everyone stands behind the quality of some products.....
How about you tell my girlfriend to be more careful with her newly purchased phone? Wont really help too much at this point.

You could always check on eBay. But I doubt you will be able to find anything be as new as it is. I plan on disassembling mine sometime soon to play around. If I'm able to I will whip up a tutorial

Awesome. I'd definitely appreciate it if you got around to a disassembly. Could not find ANYTHING on this phone at all being as how new it is. Especially with a name like HTC "First". Kind of sends the search engine into a plethora of random stuff.

very carefully lol theres a video for the htc one xl that shows how to separate them but there is a disclaimer not to do it if you are not a pro. You can try and see if a repair store will do it for you if you bring them the parts or wait till they sell them in one piece.

They look legit, but I don't think I'd attempt separating the glass from the digitizer myself. And it looks like they only have digitizers in stock, not full screen assemblies.

Hey,
I'm happy to be a new HTC First broken screen owner now.
But since the glass is partially crumbling, wouldn't it be easier to separate it from the LCD ? Anybody has successfully repair his First ?
(For the little story, it was one of the first time I ever drop a phone in my life -_-)
This the best phone stand ever...it can be used with any phone, but i use it with my note...it works great, small foot print, and best of all it was free...in fact i don't even know where one could get this...i got mine from my local carrier store....
Looks like some sort of tablet stand

That's exactly how I got mine. Literally walked in, told them I needed a case with a stand, they gave me this. Haven't needed a case with a stand for about 7 months now.

ouch my nexus7 it slid off my bed apparently. I didnt see how it fell, it was in a case but it didnt save it. I heard the thud, turned and feared the worse. it goes across the screen so its rather large.
its the 2012 32 gb version. Is it fixable??? most of the screen doesnt work, i can touch the notification area and it responds, but no where else, so it is basically inoperable. I google some stuff about replacing the digitizer or the screen? or both? how would i know what I need?
on another note, its the 2012 version and i could probably use an upgrade on the 2014 or whatever the new one is. But i definitely would like to repair this and get a new one. I hate having to let go of stuff like this and would like to repair it.
Check out on ebay you have to change the glass, digitizer and lcd (too risky to change the glass+digitizer) its fairly easy. You can check outr some teardown on google too and youtube. Good luck

My wife's n7 had a similar problem, but it's one of my children that stepped on it lol, it was going to cost £160 for Asus to fix it and the tablet only cost £200 brand new at the time so I just got some insurance on it from currys for £3 a month then got them to fix it lol

hmm thats a nice idea, i might find something like that locally here. well I ended up going on craigslist and looking at local ads of nexus 7, and I saw someone selling a nexus 7 16gb for $100. I emailed and asked if it was still available and how firm they were. They replied saying they can let it go for 80 if I come right now. I just returned about an hour ago with a 16gb nexus 7. I am currently in the process of rooting with a rom as my 32gb was. I still wanna fix my 32gb so I will try this idea or something similar.
Take the screen of the 16gb one and put it on the 32

Check out square trade for a warranty as well. I've heard good things about them
So this would work with square trade? The idea of getting insurance on my nexus even though it is already broken?

How is it fraud, I asked currys if they needed to see the tablet and they no because it was less than a year old they didn't ask if it had a broken screen and I've still got the insurance so there getting there money back anyway so think before accusing people of fraud

Its fraud because it was suggested above that insurance gets placed on the device AFTER there has been damage to the device. It was suggested that the insurance company wouldn't verify the condition...it's exactly what it sounds like...fraud.
