Just had to share how enjoyable it is flashing my "Nexus" back panel at all the iClones! Finally a phone to be proud of being seen out with!

My first impression when I read the thread title:
Still waiting for mine to arrive :/
Isn't is illegable to "enjoy yourself" in public?
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

Hey all,
With all the LIMBO levels going around I wanted to see how many are still in my boat (which I am calling the ULTIMATE LIMBO) or if you were when did you get out??
I ordered mine on 11/13 @ 11:46am. I NEVER received the back order email and have been told by the CSRs that:
- I am chargable status...so to just wait
- I should be backordered
- No clue what is going on....go to a specialist!
- You should get it in a day (that was the week of 11/13)
- Wow...your the first caller who didnt yell at me!
What about everyone else???

We were asked to not start any new threads regarding play store orders and shipping and to use the one that's already there.. many are closed and locked up immediately, why would yours be any different?
Just makes more work for the mods to clean up. Please use existing Play Store thread.

Many are upset with Google re: the ordering of this phone, so we are getting a lot of threads. We've asked users to keep all discussion in one spot to minimize cluttering the forum.

From now on, all new threads in the Nexus 4 General section related to shipping, back orders, Google customer service, or ANYTHING else related to ordering/receiving your N4 from the Play Store will be closed without notice. Use the main shipping thread found here, or use one of the existing backorder or country-specific threads.
Thanks for your cooperation.

Hey guys,
Just bought a N7 yesterday, should be here in a few days.
Whats the best ROM/kernel combo for this thing?
I'm lazy, its Sunday, i don't feel like searching all over the place until i get two more cups of Joe in me.
Running xylon 10 and tiny kernel on my gnex now.
Thanks and stoked for my new toy.

Then Have those cups of Joe and get to reading.
There is no such thing as a "best rom" only what works best FOR YOU. And since none of us are you... How would we know what you would like the best?

YET AGAIN
ALL OF the roms and Developers are great. These people all work together a a community effort... They do all of this free of charge and are not in a competition. To me this is a very tasteless question to ask... Try reading thru the rom developers threads and device for yourself . Try a few if you must.. But Please do not ask people to just these Awesome Developers..
On another note Threads like these should be avoided.. We have a Off Topic Thread for such post and simple Questions..
Welcome to the Nexus Forum .. HELP us make this a the most awesome place for Nexus support and Development By keeping it CLUTTER Free and Supportive for all users....
Erica Renee ..
Congrats on your purchase. Quick question, did you get the nexus 7 with hspa+? Also, I'd have to say that the nexus 7 has been my best Android experience yet. I'm currently running MoDACo ROM and love it. There isn't too much out there for the hspa+ model but MoDACo runs great for me. Good luck...

These types of threads are not tolerated, as other posters said, roms are suited to each individual. What one my like, the other may not. So you'll just have to try out a couple after reading the rom threads.
Also, there's an off-topic thread you're more than welcome to ask in.
So without further adieu, thread is closed.

This is not a rant or a moan or whatever you want to call it. This is just clearing a few things up after the last few days what i have been reading on the forum.
Firstly support for N4 will still be there after this update, and i am sure we have at least one more major update to come for our beloved device. People saying that our phone will be next are just talking rubbish. People all over the forum are crying thinking that our device will be next. Until a confirmation from Google can people please stop with the conspiracy theories.
Also regarding with the launcher. Now i am not that really bothered if it gets released or not as i do not use Google Now. But again were is the official confirmation that the launcher will not be included for our device? There is none. Just tech sites writing there stuff as usual and every one is lapping it up and making a fuss.
I love my phone and i do not see a reason why i should upgrade to the Nexus 5. I do not want though people in the forum to start moaning about things that are not official yet from the God itself which is Google. Yes they are not perfect but until the actual release gets to our device and we have things missing then fine all hell can break lose.
Oh and one last thing. Yes am gutted that we not got the update soon as the release came out but we are still the first to get it were other mega devices are not getting it at least December or Xmas the earliest..So am still thankful for the Nexus line. But that will start not meaning anything soon anyway if they carry this new strategy of there to put money first before anything else.
But till then please take a chill pill people.
This will get shut down and deleted am sure but i just wanted people to read this and seriously take it easy till there is ACTUAL CONFIRMATION by GOOGLE THEMSELVES..
Mods sorry if this should not be here but sometimes a man has enough when reading through the forums and having whiny kids whine all the time.
And to add...We are XDA...If things go missing and are not included in the build that our beloved N4 should get then people trust our great and respectful Developers here who are if you do not mind me saying better than those at Google..We will have those features that the N5 has and if not should be better build than stock...So please show your support for our devs and less whining and help this place for newbies instead of moaning all the time about something that has not been confirmed yet
:highfive: for you!
This is exactly my opinion on the subject.
If you are on XDA, odds are that you know how to mod your phone, and believe me, everything that will not come with the official OTA will be made avaliable soon here on XDA.
Right, you might need root, you can argue you do not want to root but then what is the point of your anger if you do not want to take action to get something you want?
Just wait for Google to release the OTA and everything will be clear!
Should be soon I guess

exactly my friend. until something has been confirmed i do not understand why people are panicking. and by the next update which will be by summer time our phone should be more than capable to handle it and i am sure we are in for that to. phones should have a support from the OS development team ie Google at least maximum two years...so why are people are stressed is beyond me.
Now as the Galaxy Nexus that is a strange one and Google should state the reasons why they are not supporting it but again that is nothing to do with me or concerns me..But for people to start saying that the N4 is next is beyond silly to say

Sure there is confirmation. It is not included in the Nexus 7 WiFi KitKat update. And Google confirmed it with The Verge and said it is possible they will bring it to other devices other than the N5 someday but not initially.
Great post OP.. You know what I think it is? Purely my opinion after mulling over how absolutely weird the 4.4 rollout and release has been.
Ever been in a corporate environment where someone important is replaced? It's hell.. JBQ left and was replaced.. So here you have a new guy who is pulling the old corporate "I'm new and have to flex my superiority and change things to make it look like I'm doing something different and being productive" (ie: Fishing for his next promotion).. This happens in nearly every business.. It's hilarious to watch happen in real life because most employees know it's coming.. 3 months later after everyone hates the new guy and his useless changes everything goes right back to the way it was. I'm certain all the rumblings this is causing is being heard..
This is all very nice but it makes my think longer and hard did l make the right decision buying a nexus 4.With the ota out for nexus 7 and 10 l just wonder what the delay is with nexus 4

Its called discussion. If you do not want to participate then don't post. Hence why the other thread got closed
Cause useless posts like yours

Please enlighten me, what's the difference between your thread and the one that got closed. You've already labeled all that don't share your point of view by "whiners" (btw weren't you the one that also happened to "whine" at the beginning? ) so what do you expect? It's obvious that any sort of discussion won't be possible here. Your thread will sooner or later became exactly the same place of mindless arguments and eventually closed.
But you're right. If am not interested to participate so I am done. Good luck though, I am sure you're get many "thanks".

It has to do with the Ti core not being supported anymore. Also, not being supported by Ti did not meant it doesn't work for Galaxy Nexus, just means Google would not support a device without former support to its hardware.
Anyways, Galaxy Nexus got 4.4 already, go Install it

To be honest the reason why i opened this thread is to get my opinion about the many things that i have read on the forum. Many false information that is going around by others is beyond ridiculous because they listen to tech sites most of them without any proper confirmation by Google itself...Now as to regarding the updates that are coming for our device if there is an official changelog by Google to say what are the changes from the older nexus devices compare to the N5 then i will eat my hat if it is out already stating what we are getting and missing out on..
But again people forget that XDA is here to help..Hence why we should not be ranting and raving
What am trying to say is that i want this thread to stick to a proper adult discussion about our device regarding the build that we should get..And i do not want people to give mis-information till we get it from the Big Boss itself

I can understand your point here OP but, the purpose of forums such as this one is to allow for open discussion on a topic. I see no issue with speculation or assumption as long as people keep their heads. That is, after all, what makes things interesting and keeps people intrigued. If we went purely on the facts at hand 100% of the time, discussions would end fairly quickly and most forums would be desolate places.

I finally upgraded to the Nexus 5 yesterday, yes I know the 6 is out but I like the size of the 5 better. I'm coming from a Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus before that. I'm excited to have this now to flash roms onto and play with the kernels! Good to meet ya'll!
Welcome to the Nexus 5!
Congrats on your new purchase. The Nexus 5 is still a great phone. I know you are probably excited, but it is not necessary to create a new thread announcing it.
If we allowed everyone to create these types of threads, important information would be buried. I hope you understand.
Thread closed.
Hello. So I just bought one of these for my wife off Swappa. I got her a 128 GB gray one. I must say, I'm now jealous of her phone. I'll probably end up getting myself one come February after I've gotten my tax refund. We had to replace her cheap MetroPCS Alcatel Fierce 4 that she'd set down at Walmart and then forgot to pick back up. What amazes me is that someone actually stole it. Anyway, in not too new; I've come from the oil 2013 Moto G, and I'm still rocking the Nexus 5X as my everyday driver. I'm looking forward to learning about OnePlus and their beautiful phones.
Welcome welcome!
But probably you are new in XDA too, as this is the guides section, so your post is totally irrelevant.

And the sticky at the top of this section "Please read before posting" clearly says NO "Hello" threads. Which this is. It literally doesn't raise any points for discussion, or ask any questions. While we certainly welcome new users (new to this device) and/or valid points for discussion, it doesn't add value to this forum for folks to simply introduce themselves (but does potentially clutter it up, if lots of folks did this).
My advice to the original poster, is to read up on all the great resources available. Then post if you have any specific questions, or specific topics you want to discuss.
Y'all are correct, I appologize. It was late and I was tired (and using the XDA app). I saw the discussion heading so said hello there. At least I wasn't asking for an ETA.
