If you hold up the phone turned off under bright light you'll see small blue dots in a grid pattern. Very cool.
Picture?

is the digitizer, the thing that let touch a smartphone not dumb
you can see it on every phone. Maybe in the n4 is more visible because lg used a special tecnology to blend it with the glass
Yea. It's totally right for Nexus to have these. For example, in SE Xperia Neo V there are barely noticeable lines running across the screen. You can sometimes see them when pixels are white. Now that's really annoying sometimes; as you can see, there's completely nothing to worry about

I didn't know being excited about something makes you a fanboy, right.
also, says the person who has a nexus 4 as well..
I figured that it had some rhyme or reason. It's definitely more noticeable, considering I've gone through a captivate and an HTC one xl without notice. As for the fanboy comment I really don't care. Trolls are trolls and hey. He's right. Who cares if I'm a fanboy dammit. I got my phone on the seventeenth, a day before my birthday, while the other poor souls wait.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks troll! I'm glad you were so amused

This pattern (as we agreed on is the digitizer) is very visible on my device even if the screen is turned on (!) It is really annoying on bright background colours. Anyone else suffering from this?

Apple seems to be also having quality control issues with the iPhone 5, users are reporting marks, scratches, rattling lenses, missing headphones, not charging, yellow screens, light bleeding etc out of the box... they are having a good ole meltdown(It's a £530 and up phone so I don't blame them). I preordered the iPhone 5 as well and I'm crossing my fingers and toes that I don't get one of those. Is Foxconn to blame for all these scandalous Quality Control(I'm assuming they made the Nexus 7 too right?)?

Wow, I thought Nexus 7 problemes were severe, but these little dents are absolutely not acceptable /irony.
However, I have seen how easily it is scrated, therefore I am happy to see all isheep boasting about how thin their devices are only to put them in thick cases
God those people are suffering from severe OCD to be *****ing about this 8 days before the device even starts selling
Just what does this have to do with Nexus 7 or Android?

I'm not sure why people ever compared things to Apple as if they are the supreme target to base judgment on. Apple has always had qc issues... Just like countless other tech companies out there. Nobody is perfect and lemons will exist to some degree.

I know many are just excited as I am about the N4 so I want to talk about all the good things about it. Is anyone else more anxious about the phone because of the lack of the press event?

The only hands on videos are from reviewers at a Google demo. Actual review units have been sent out already apparently. We will have to wait until the NDA lifts to see the results though and I imagine it will not be until the week of release.

I think separately looking on what you get in the box on the play store page. When the verge did their video it was still in prototype.

Okay thanks guys, either way I still plan to get it. Can't wait!
I just received my new N4 from an RMA and noticed that there are now what appear to be two small bumps at the bottom of the just beneath the glass back. At first I only saw one and thought it was an imperfection but then I noticed the other in the exact same location on the opposite side. My old N4 doesn't have this. I'm guessing this was done to keep the glass from making contact with debris when it's laid on it's back, thus reducing potential scratches and damage. So is this new or did I miss something? Anyone else have these on their device?
I attached an image to show what I'm talking about. The extra layer you see on the rear of the phone is my dbrand skin.
You missed something.

Wow, that's crazy side by side like that. Gotta try and get my hands on one to try. The way the S4 sounded, to me, was almost a little "tinny" or too much treble...which is how I always feel like my N4 sounds when I record. Good stuff though.

I must agree with you. Fanboism is equally strong here as among iphoners. I understand that people are satisfied with their devices but making them cult objects is just sick.
I don't think I am gonna replace my N4 anytime soon. I am still happy with it... but to those saying that samsung is cheap plastic...well I wish my N4 had this cheap plastic back instead of its "premium glass".
Mod,close this thread,please.
If the OP likes his phone then good for him(or her). There's reason to like this phone. Why try to rain on his(or her) parade? Pride is a ridiculous thing. The Nexus 4 isn't perfect, but it's far from being trash. I could could call iPhones trash too, because I don't like them, but i'll refrain from that. Anyways, the Nexus 4 is a good phone. It's my daily device. Still powerful and gets the job done. I kinda agree with rather having the plastic back. I got this phone with a busted back and I replaced it with a new one. Some owners might share a certain fear of breaking the back. In this case it was form > function. Imo hardware wise, Samsung does function > form well, better than most, if not all large oems. When it comes to Android OEM, I don't think i'm a fanboy of any oem. Whatever works for me, and does what I want to do with it.
