Stupid insurance! - Nexus 4 General

Well I cracked the rear of my nexus 4, not sure how but a crack appeared. I sent it to my insurance who accepted the claim, but are trying to fob me off with a S3 as a replacement. Even though the S3 is alot older than the Nexus they seem to think its the same specfications. Annoying

What kind of insurance are you talking about? Insurance through a carrier, third party insurance like Square Trade, or something like renter's insurance? Whichever it is, it seems pretty dodgy. My experience with insurance providers is that they can do/not do whatever they feel like. If it isn't something huge like a house or a car, I don't usually buy insurance for just that reason.

My bank provides me phone insurance through aviva

was it really necessary to open a thread for this ?

It would seem that they are offering you this s3 because they might not have any nexus 4 to give you.

If they can't replace it, then they should simply cut you a check to buy it again (minus the deduction). The S4 is more similar then the S3.
Tell them you want an S4 or $350.
The S3 is similar to the Galaxy Nexus (last gen).
I love the Nexus Line, but with the S4 being AOSP now, I wouldn't mind picking up the S4.

What this man said

that's why SquareTrade is awesome...and only it's $6 a month

I would only accept the s3 if you can somehow sell it and get a Nexus 4 again

Nexus 4 replacement dropped...kinda

OK so I got two nexus 4's and I just moved to T-Mobile and honestly I need two more phones and it kinda doesn't make sense to buy any used phone with the nexus price so low.
So if I was to get a replacement and hypothetically dropped it and wanted to keep my phone could Google just charge me for it and I get to keep it. It kinda the same as buying it right.

Lol its kind of a good idea i don't feel like there's anything morally wrong about it except lying to get the first RMA cause its not like he's not gonna pay for it and yea he's skipping the line but he already waited too but hey that's just my two cents bro just make sure they don't ruin your credit when u keep it Lol

Nexus 4 for HTC ONE!

Hi
I have a friend who got the new HTC One and he wants to trade it for my Nexus 4.
Would you people do it?
Is it worth it?
I kind of like it, and i want a new phone but i want people's opinion in the matter, what would you do?
PS: I have no complains with my Nex4 what so ever, has not fail me even once. Just that i got that offer pending.
Do it. If you decide you don't like it, you can sell it, buy a new n4, and still have money left over.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I would never trade my Nexus for a non-Nexus device. Pure Google experience is not something I would ever want to give up..

he's got a point. its always worth trying especially since you would be able to sell it. do a pro/con list of both devices and then ask yourself if its worth it.

I would do it. I have a one x and was thinking of getting the one. Htc makes good phone. As was mentioned, you could always sell it and come out ahead after getting another N4.

Your kind of right, i really like the pure google experience, but if you come to think of it, if i root the phone and install CM for example it will be the same thing as i have right now. I don't have my phone stock for the pure google experience.
if given a chance, HTC One is the only device for which I will trade my N4. both are amazing.

You know how the nexus is already. Find out how the one is. If you prefer the nexus then sell the one and buy a brand new nexus or trade it. I'm sure it would take about a minute to find a trade for it.

Both amazing phones. Selling the One would prosper you more. Sell it haha remember nexus 4 users will get direct updates. You will probably have to wait half a year for key lime pie if you get the One

I'll chime in with those thinking you should do the switch for the HTC One - I have tried two of Samsung's TouchWiz devices between my Nexus devices, and while I never kept any of them for more than one month before switching to a newer Nexus, I haven't regretted trying out "the other side".
And it helps that the HTC One seems truly awesome, if given the offer I would probably accept a switch just to try it out.

ALL Nexus 4 owners should get a free bumper

I think since now Google decided to include a free bumper with every N4 purchase, we who bought our devices before the promotion should also get one free bumper!! It's only fair, given all the trouble we all had to do in order to get one, if at all!!
I'll take a white one, please!! I want a zebra N4
And everyone that bought the iPhone 4 for $200 when it came out should get reimbursed.... Come on man why so greedy?

And every person that just got a free bumper case with their new device will be complaining 2 months from now that they just got their phone and Google is getting ready to release a new phone. Now they are stuck with this old technology. Its just not fair.

In Spain they haven't included the free bumper... Anyway, I think that would be better reducing its price than giving it for free.
I just want to be able to buy the white one that isn't fake.

I bought my nexus 4 two days before they announced the white version and the bumper promotion. Needless to say I was a sad droid.

You ordered your phone and you got stiffed for a bumper or w/e...that sucks as does life. But, look on the good side....you receive a premium phone (imho) for 400 bucks, if only they had Apple or Samsung marketing wits....
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The bumper's only about twenty bucks, if you really want it, just suck it up and buy yourself one. Plus, if you've had the phone for a month you'd probably already have a case already. If the 20 + tax + shipping or w/e is too much, just go for the Poetic bumper, it really is amazing.

You wouldn't make enough money back. The change from the old to the new isn't exactly warranted for the price. Isn't it 230? I paid 200 for mine and it's insured til 2015 of March.

I'd sell mine in a heartbeat if I could get $150 for it. I checked a couple places on Friday and the best price for "trade-in" was $65. I'm not giving it up for that.

Bought my N7 for £185. Sold it a month or so ago for £130 - before the announcement of a new N7 dented the resale value some more.
That's £50 to have a Nexus 7 for about a year which is a bargain.
Might buy a new N7, might not. My HTC One is fulfilling a lot of my app needs.
If I did buy another tablet it would probably be a 10" one.
I would sell it but not many people want the old one now that the new one has been released
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I did, and I'm glad I did. The new one is better in every way.
I don't have an old N7, but I'm considering selling my ipad mini for a new N7.

Don't consider that option, just do it. The Nexus tablets are better in every way imaginable. Besides, you'll have money left over and can buy a keyboard case or an additional warranty on your Nexus 7. Or go out to dinner, lol.

Sent from my Nexus 7
while i think the new N7 is a great deal, i think i'm going to skip this one. based on my usage of the first gen model, it still gets the job done. at their price point it certainly makes upgrading every year feasible, but i think i'm going to wait until v3 to upgrade again.
Nope, I'm not. (;
The only thing I'm jealous about the new one, is that it has a notification LED.. Except this, no need to upgrade...

Sad day, at least I have the last of its kind...
what a sad day.. now we wait for the silver program
Nothing wrong with silver other than maybe higher priced phones...... Hopefully it's not GPe phones that just turn into silver....
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
i still believe there will be a n6..probably the last one
As sad as i am about this news, in a way i am also happy. I think the Silver line will get better support (fixing important issues quicker) and overall the phones will have less compromises (build quality etc..), and better availability (especially for people outside the US and select EU countries).

Silver lining for $200 more probably... There's no way carriers/manufacturers would be OK with google selling a $300 phone next to their $600 phones.

This is plausible, there might not be a Nexus 6 but instead a Nexus device with a different name (probably with the word Nexus in it).
If this were the case then @evleaks would not have emphasized the term silver lining

This just means that Google is terminating the Nexus program early since the Android Silver program is not being accelerated to replace it. I wonder what their motivation for doing so is. Also, what does this mean for the Nexus 8?

I will never buy another google phone ever and as a matter of fact, I will buy anything that headlines or competes directly with the nexus such as the OnePlus One the nexus killer!!!

Imo..the Nexus line is more alive than ever....
A lot of new accessories...
A lot of Google+ posts. From nexus celebrating the evolution of Nexus and from Google employees showing N5 photos all around the world.
A lot of new Countries with the Play Store's "Devices" branch.
However...there will always be a replacement......A reference device (or devices) for Android....called Nexus or not.
