I dropped my nexus 4 from 5 feet onto tile floor.....

My dog jumped up and knocked it out of my hand. Nothing happened. Nexus of steel?
Carry on.

The bricks in my pants could build the great wall. I'm tempted to keep this baby even though I have this weird screen defect. We've been through a lot.

I've had almost the same **** about my phone, but I was walking into my bedroom, and the headphone wire hooked to the door handle, and bam. But nothing happened to the screen, THANKS GOD. Waiting for case to arrive

Glad it worked out, but if everybody posted a thread every time their device fell and nothing happened, this forum would be unreadable.

Nexus 4 stolen...

Happened in men's locker room, when I went swimming.
Already called AT&T and blocked the IMEI. O well.....too bad I can't get back my pictures/videos.

I think you should also call google so the it blocks it worlwide. Cause at&t only blocks it gor the US. Or something like that. Shame on the thief. Buy one, don't steal one.

Thanks for the tip. Will call Google.
Why these thieves failed to know that it's so stupid to steal smartphones now. What he got is basically a paperweight.

Use plan B while you still can unless they already factory reset it.

The thief turned off the phone almost immediately. So this won't work...

Bad luck OP. I heard a similar story a few days ago, someone nabbed an iPhone from a locker while the owner wasn't looking, luckily he had the find my iPhone app. They tracked the assh*le down a few minutes down the road from the gym. Give 'lookout' a go next time.

I'm the police, and I see it 50 times a week that someone gets their phone stolen and it sucks. I feel for you. My device is encrypted, Sim locked, and password protected and I have Cerberus on it. You can't be too careful, we have so many people getting robbed of iPhones we call it apple picking.
Cerberus is a must for any type of security on your phone. Google should buy it and make it standard.

Stupid this just stupid! I mean this really sucks.. Its a phone a damn phone! How low your life gotta be if you stole a freaking phone! It is really sad that in our society we've got place for such class of people!

That sucks I feel for you. But if the imei is now blocked they may end up turning it into lost and found so check there for a few days and now lesson learned and you will have backup software from now on I am sure.
Once again that sucks I hope you find it or when you sign into your new device accidently you backed up all your pics one day you had it and will get some back. Just wishful thinking

That sucks man. I'm sorry to hear it. I work out probably 6 days a week and always listen to music at a busy gym, I always use Bluetooth headset. Few times I left my nexus on a treadmill and didn't notice till my music became staticky as I've gotten far. I also always leave it by the courts when I run full court basketball, so do others. Crazy how mine hasn't been stolen yet. Knock on wood.

They'll deactivate the sim, but anyone else can pop a sim in it and use the phone. Even from AT&T.

unfortunately we live in a world of untrustworthy people. Some people have their lives on their phones, and I would be crushed if mine was stolen. I will give Cereberus a try as well. on my N4 and my N7.

They blocked the IMEI. It not longer will work with any AT&T Sim card.

even if the IMEI is on the hotlist?
I just installed Cerberus on my phone and played with it for a few minutes. Has alot of options (some arent available if the phone isn't rooted). Installing it on the tablet as well, and will put this on my recommends list to others.

You can not believe if you want. They will tell you that they will block your emei, but they won't. If it makes you feel good to believe, then believe.

That´s not true.
The IMEI will be blocked by the AT&T and the N4 will no longer work with a sim card from AT&T network.
The problem is only one, the IMEI is going to be usable for other networks.

I guess Cerburus or any other anti-theft app will get wiped when flashing a factory image including user data.

:( I was so close guys.

They have stock in the Sprint Store. I called yesterday playing dumb to see if I could get a store to sell early. I was told it would be released today. So I take my happy little but over to the Sprint Store as soon as it opens this morning. Lady at the counter tells me yes they have some in stock and yes I can purchase one. She goes back and grabs a box and brings it up to begin the purchase process.
Then a manager stops her. He informs her that they cannot sell them yet and he sends me on my sad little heartbroken way.

Ugh, I couldn't imagine the anger I would have. But, in all fairness, they're not supposed to sell them.

I know where I'll be at 9AM tomorrow.

I was just so close and then shot down. Its like going to the Sprint Store to pick up a phone, thinking youre going to get it and then you're shot down. Theres no other way to complete the analogy because that is literally one of the worse things to possibly happen.
bonus points for catching the reference

Do what I did and buy a black one. Since they're delayed for some unspecified amount of time, I only refresh 4-6 times a day.

When I was in support and receiving lot of random stuff for folks I found a Windows desktop widget (of all things) that worked really well. You just put in the tracking info and it would show the latest real time info in the widget and you could even click on each delivery and see a map of where the last update had come in and when on the map.
Alas, I ordered from HTC and still have no tracking info.

UPS just left.. no phone! :crying:

Just checked mine and it show's 2nd day air as well, with a scheduled delivery of Monday, 4/22.... WTF. Guess we'll see

Are they still going to be $550 for the 32gb model in stores tomorrow? I was just told by 2 Ca. Stores its $699

From my experiences it's always cheaper at a Sprint Corporate store. Example:I live next to a "sprint" marked store and I was buying a note II and they wanted $799 for it.. I then found my closest sprint corporate location and bought the phone from them for $600..

I don't mean to torture you guys but I'm the Sprint Service Manager and I've been playing with mine for 2 days now. Lol :/ I also typed this up on the One. Trust me y'all will love it.

wondering if this would be an up/down grade from a note 2 ... maybe ill just get it for fun and then give it to the kid if im not amazed

****, I charged my HTC ONE for 16 hours.

Oh god, oh god.
I just bought it yesterday and I'm really scaring of holding it.
It sat on a pillow, in a box [so it would'nt collect dust] the whole night, connected to the charger ofcourse [as I had around 87 Percent at the end of the day I decided to charge it]
This morning I woke up and had to go straight to work, ofcourse I won't bring my lovely new HTC ONE to work, so I left it there and forgot it was charging.
****. ?
Did I harm the battery? it sat there charging for 16 hours. since 0:00 - 16:30.
Please tell me it's alright and doesn't harm anything at all?

Lol. You're overreacting. Absolutely nothing will happen unless you do this every day for months in a row. And not even then maybe.
So chill.

Your phone has circuitry to prevent overcharging. No need to worry

You should be fine. Once charge reaches 100%, it will switch to trickle charge.

I would be more worried that you keep your phone in the box, on a pillow, than I would about the extended charging.

Thanks, I started using it more seriously today, battery's down 26% since I unplugged it.
It went through almost constant use (opening instagram, opening settings, just watching the homescreen)
It's been around an hour of this use with the phone on saving mode and airplane mode with WiFi.. is it okay?

Don't get the interracial comment. I was referring to the fact the phone is not that delicate

I Wonder why all the blogs and sites don't report on the ordeal that is getting a N5

since they were all over the leaks before launch, now everybody is just silent about the bad joke that is actually getting your phone in your hands.

This is nothing compared to the Nexus 4 launch!
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

It went up for sale, I ordered it, and then 4 days later it showed up on my doorstep. What's the story?

Why would they fill a blog with the fact that the nexus 5 sold well and are in short supply. It happens with lots of phones. Nothing new here.

This because it depends a lot on where you are and the stock levels as well...
Some people have a great experience but don't necessarily need to go on a forum to shout about it...
For what it's worth, in the UK, I ordered mine on a Thursday afternoon, received it the next day
The blogs and sites didn't report this either..

I don't think it's as big of an issue as you perceive it to be. I think the majority of people who ordered got their phone in a reasonable time. But LG can only crank these things out so fast, once Google's warehouse runs out, some unlucky people are gonna wind up waiting for the next shipload to come in. That's life...

Please use one of the existing shipping/ordering threads for this discussion
