I have one of the original N4's when they were released, yellow screen and defective charger. I got an RMA N4 and it looks like they added little nubs to the bottom. Just an FYI

What hardware revision? Boot in bootloader mode and give us the infoz!
It's nothing major. But the back plate can somewhat be more easier to remove.
And which country?

Interesting touch, and very smart actually given how many people had their backs crack just from temperature variations on whatever surface they put their Nexus 4 down on. Hopefully that lifts the glass off any surface a bit. Flip side is that looks like it'd be a fitment problem for most cases on the market already.
It's not to cool down the glass, is to keep free the sound from the speaker that was getting blocked when you had the device on a flat surface.

They probably have a whole variety of reasons. IMO raising the speaker off flat surfaces would be a perfectly good reason because it's completely muffled when you put the phone down on its back. They wouldn't change the hardware just for that, but it'd certainly help.

Torx screw you mean.
And going back on topic, if the phone is flat on the table the gap could increase air flow for better cooling and increase the volume too.
Its REV 11, Production date 02/2013 made in Korea. i'm in the US and It still fits perfectly fine in the LG Bumper. The photo is little confusing it was taken with my original N4 with a macro lens. the hole is the torx screw on the bottom.
Awesome! I ordered an RMA last night, should be receiving it sometime this week.
My Nexus 4 died on me Sunday night. Red light of death
Watch as dozens of people cry about their phones not having this, and then come up with excuses why they need to rma their device.

Why buy a slim, light phone, and slap a giant case on it? For that matter why did htc make the camera bezel stick out past the back of the case, so it gets damaged when you lay it down?

As a zero dollar remedy, I pealed a foot off my keyboard, restuck it under the camera bezel and viola! This one has been on my phone for two months now, and the last one lasted about six months. It keeps my camera off the table when I lay it down, and even prevents some glare from the overhead lighting. No damage to the case or camera, and no added bulk.

Shameless self bump.
I thought this was about the actual phone bezel when I read the title, cool idea though. I've always hated cases since most of the time they're bulky and ugly. I bought the phone I have because I liked the way it looked, why would I want to wrap it in something that hides all of that? I usually just take great care of my phone until it gets its first decent size scratch then I just say the hell with it and care about protecting it less. That's why I loved my OG Droid, I could beat the hell out of it and it would still look fine!.
I agree. The OG droid was a beast. This "mod" also fixes the wobble you get if you try to use the phone flat on a table.
Amazing hack.
If anyone else was interested in doing this and was looking for something less.... drastic... these clear feet would be perfect! (10 cents)
http://www.westfloridacomponents.co...+Rubber+Feet+Small+Bumpers+9.5mm+X+3.2mm.html
My bezel still looks brand new and I "carelessly" put it bezel down wherever I go. Now if some people put it onto the street asphalt then you're just.... yea.
And with your analogy why hunk another piece onto the back of it?
My bezel still looks good too, but I would cringe every time I heard it hit the desk. It is such a cool looking part of the phone, I'd hate to scratch it up.
This is clearly not for everyone. It did help me out, and I thought I'd share it in case it might help anyone else.
I think it is actually smart for manufacturers to let the camera protrude slightly from the back of the phone. Cameras have a minimum thickness that can't be avoided, but by keep the rest of the phone slightly slimmer (or as slim as possible), users can add a case without significantly changing the overall thickness of the phone.
If the camera were flush with the back of the phone, the entire phone would need to be thicker to allow it (of course, they could squeeze in a bigger battery).
The devil's advocate argument is that that manufacturers want phones that feel as thin as possible in your hand, even if they have to make parts of the device thicker for the camera (resulting in phones shaped like the Droid X).
Amen to that. I love my 8 megapixels.

I've always been annoyed by the horrible noise coming form my speakers, so I did some experimenting and it worked here's how to do it:
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Remove the black fabric covering the faulty speaker(s).
3. Place a piece of electrical tape directly on the speaker.
This will very slightly lower the volume but it alleviates the racket made by the poorly made drivers. This may not work for everyone.

Good Luck!

I have that problem, but hardly seems worth voiding my warranty to fix it by ripping the back cover off.
All you gotta do is turn the volume down a notch and its fine...

You don't rip the back cover off. It's just held in place by some clips. There's no way anyone will be able to tell you took the back off if you doing correctly.

The back just snaps off almost as if they wanted you to. There's no way to tell that you did it.

Sorry, this sounds like a terrible idea. The speakers seem to only be popped over the coil, the real fix would prevent them from coming off of the base. I have reattached mine three times now but they eventually pop back up after some loud notification or such.
Better speakers would be nice, the n7's are just awful.
I fixed my speaker issues or at least reduced it so it's not too bad...
1) remove the back cover
2) now look at the speaker grill from the inside of the back cover. It is a small piece of metal plate with fine holes in it. This is only tack welded to the back cover in a few spots. There may be a couple of pieces of tape from the factory already holding the center section of the plate.
3) now use a few small strips of tape and hold down the rest of the plate at its edges...
4) resemble the nexus 7 and test it out...
The cracking sounds are not as noticeable anymore...
Ymmv....
I am also thinking about removing the little plate all together, or replacing it with a plastic mesh or some thin foam...

Today, I saw this under the touchscreen. It looks like some dust or air bubbles, which are under the touch area, situated directly above the Tegra 3 CPU so can it have something to do with the heat, which come from the cpu? The phone is 1 month old (bought 21/3/2013). I'm sending the phone to reclamation (and want new piece), but I'm afraid that this can happen again.
Have anyone same problem?

Why not use a Drill or something and drill some random holes from the back of the phone all the way to the speaker enclosure. This seems like a pointless thing not to mention that that dust filter is there for a reason. If you wanted better sound there are other things to mess up with (and that requires adding extra holes in the speaker enclosure by taking the phone apart).

Trial and error engineering at its best. Unfortunately with that approach there's more error than success.:silly:
So what you're saying is.... the sim tray tool is making the speaker holes bigger?
Not likely. Not sure how the plastic tool is supposed to make the holes bigger...
Looks like you're just poking at/moving the filter out of the way so you're more susceptible to getting dirt and dust in your phone.
Sounds like a placebo at best...
Well I just got an RMA device and wow are the speaker holes gigantic! They're about 2 times as big as my original one. Sounds sooooo much better.

So I just noticed with my phone on a flat table...my phone is warped, like two diagonal corners touch the table and the opposite diagonal corners are raised. I tried it on multiple level tables and even looking at it by my eyeballs without the case on it looks warped like a piece of hot metal!
I don't know how or when it happened...the screen isn't cracked or anything, nothing looks or acts strange even.
