oh Lord Android i have sinned. see yesterday was my girlfriends n I's anniversary. and she had a "surprise" for me. i was hoping it was a threesome with her beautiful ass step sister lol anywho, when i come to open up the wrapped box she handed to me, it was an iphone 4......my heart sunk for a moment. i didnt wanna be a bad boyfriend n curse her out so i accepted it. having using it for a day its not as bad as i thought it would be but still. im so used to android that this doesnt even compare to Android. cant even find a good twitter app that pushes my mentions and DMs. anyways, i dont wanna be a bad boyfriend so ill snuggle my Nexus One in its white Google box for now. it needs a good rest after all the heavy usage the past months i gave it.
anyways enough about my rant. do you guys use any OS besides the Android OS which is clearly the best of all i currently have a G1 unlocked, an N1, and an iPhone 4. what about u guys?
you should leave her...my girlfriend knows that i own a nexus and knows why i do...so she would never buy me an iphone...go for the threesome an then leave her
Sell it and tell her it was broken

I'm not going to go as far as to say you should leave her, but my gf knows I don't want no stinking iphone..
"lose" it

Yeh, after selling it then buy her some flowers
What did you get her? You should sell the iPhone and get her an Android phone!
I have a great idea for your iPhone. Put the sim back in the N1, and use the iPhone as an mp3 player and to play games on (after jailbreaking of course). This way you will save you N1's battery life, and if someone steals your iPhone while playing on the train, it's just an iPhone, not your Nexus. lol
Just give it to me lol
If a girl is dating a boy with a nexus one, and isn't smart enough to realize that just the fact that you own a nexus one likely means you wouldn't ever want an iphone...she's not worth dating.
Sorry but just the fact that she would assume "he doesn't have an iphone? Well everyone knows iphone is the best, I'll get him one" spells trouble in the thought process department.

The iPhone 4 is an awesome phone and superb hardware. The only problem is the OS is just boring and not as good to me.
Iphone4's retina display n hd capabilities with froyo would definitely rock...

Ouch, for a tech geek, that's the equivalent of expecting to be the giver in a threesome with her step-sister but instead being the receiver in a threesome with her step-father.
I kid I kid. And come on everyone, the significant other of every tech geek isn't always going to be a tech geek themselves. She tried doing something sweet (wouldn't have happened in my case though **cough cough**) and he didn't want to upset her by turning it away.
So here's the solution... use it for a couple weeks and then ask a friend that she doesn't know to pretend to mug you and steal the phone. Or "accidentally" drop it in the sink while you're doing dishes. Then you can say "oh no! I'm so sorry. At least I've still got my Nexus One though."
EDIT: And for the record, I'm not knocking the iPhone 4. For what it is, it's actually a great device. Its downfall is Apple's tight policies over it (my opinion). But a tech geek is harder to shop for than a woman.

Probably the beginning of such questions that I will encounter while using the note in public. Lol.
I was at Office Max today and while waiting for my turn I was playing on my phone. The girl next to me, which by the way is a Radio Shack employee working at the phone kiosk ask if the gadget is was holding was a tablet. Lol.
I was more than happy to show it to her and explain that it was indeed a phone. She end up calling the rest of the crew to show off my phone. Well that felt good.
Anyway, just like thought I share.

You didn't have to prove it? I've had co-workers insist that I make a call before they'd believe it was actually a phone.
There is one drawback to it, however: It's somehow disturbing when your taking notes on the Note and the thing starts to vibrate because of an incoming call.

The flash of envy i see on the apple zombies after realizing their puny phone easily fits in the screen on mine and then asking if the note really is a phone only to then realize their mistake that they must carry the buyers remorse for 2 full years waiting for their next upgrade. I go through this everyday about 20 times a day for every customer, they always ask "thats a phone?!?!" and let me tell you, be proud of your phone. Its chick magnet, conversation starter, a trend setter, a business tool, an ultimate mobile device, and dont forget its also a phone

Apparently it's the same story everywhere
Last friday a coworker saw me using my GNote and asked me about it, put out his Galaxy S and let out a "whow!" when he compared the sizes. Then a few other stopped by and I had to demonstrate the neat capabilities (stylus and all) to everyone.
This "phablet" is really amazing, even if it does not last long without plugging (I'm quite a heavy user!)
Happens to me all the time both in France and here in Spain - Great!

Yet another screen crack starting from the left side.... The question is did you drop it or hit it against the trim piece. Did you have screen lift/ loose issue..
If you have the lift issue call google.. or asus .
You actually put a 2 minute video showing a cracked screen???

You cracked ur 8GB so your parent's are replacing it with a 16GB?!
Man kids these days are lucky. I remember when I broke something I cried for I got in trouble and never got a replacement.
Touch screen not working?
Flashing!
I felt bad for your tab, but upon watching a video that had no use, rather you could have posted a picture and that would have done the job, I couldn't understand a word you said, It was like you were on a sugar rush.
Also, who does a shoutout when their tab is broken?
My dad bought it with his Amex Card. Whenever you buy something with an Amex card, it is automatically covered with Insurance. We are going to get the money back and also keep the 8 GB. With the money, we are going to buy a new 16 GB one.

OT:
I would agree with you strongly on this. Back in the years my pops would only get me something he felt was "worth it" for my age. If I had asked him for anything over $100 it was a strong NO until I came to realize it's value/worth. If not for that I wouldn't be looking after all my gadgets like they were diamonds.
Pops can fork over $200 more for a new N7 but it's useless if you aren't a developer. I would agree if you had an 8GB, it broke, but you're a developer and daddy got you a brand new one because it was worth it, not for Angry Birds in HD. But wow, this is outrageous. if daddy forks it over way too fast, then you'll never look after your things. Ever. If anything, you might aswell learn/do something with your tab, You're like what? 13+ by the sound of your voice. You're young, do something with all those gadget's you have marked under your signature and maybe daddy's Amex would be worth it.
Are you saying I should start developing? I know a lot about ROMs and stuff like that. I also know alot about tech. I am looking to start developing. Actually, I am in a group here on XDA for beginning ROM building. Also, I didn't break the tab. I'm 12 BTW. I am also a Senior Member here on XDA. Like I said, I am knowledgeable in this stuff.

Well, In all honestly, I didn't see the need for this thread, You may call it bashing but I call it bulk. If you're getting it replaced, and the older tab is covered under the insurance why the need for this thread?, If you're asking for help, the best you'll get are links you can get the parts separately or stuff you could probably Google it yourself. Why not get that repaired elsewhere and enjoy the new 16GB, In the end you'll have 2 tabs and one which won't become and expensive paperweight. You can't sell that tab because Nexus are known for their no on screen buttons, and whats the use if the digitizer/glass is cracked and all you can do is turn it on to show the pretty wallpaper.
If anything I'm not mad here, Just find it insane that you made this thread to tell us "Daddy's replacing it with a new 16GB with his Amex" well, good for you kiddo.
I see people all the time making videos about their broken tabs and phones so I decided to do it to. My dad isn't even going to have to pay for the new Nexus. He is getting it with the insurance money. Also, about my other phones and stuff, I bought then with my own money for big discounts from friends and stuff like that. I don't even have a PC or Laptop. I had a choice between the N7 and a PC/laptop. I got the N7 because I like playing with ROMs and stuff. Also, I knew I could make some vids on the Nexus. Last thing, the Nexus 7 only costs 200$ and a good PC/Laptop costs over 700$. I'm not asking for help, I was just saying that it broke. The reason I am getting it replaced is because t wasn't me who broke it. If I broke it, I wouldn't be getting a new one.

Well that wasn't a smart choice, How do you expect to "learn" about ROM's or developing in general when infact 99% of all that requires a PC, if anything your own personal storage that people won't erase because your stuff makes no sense to the non techy's---buddy, joining a group on ROM building/development with a tab is like joining a bodybuilding competition with flabs.
Anyways I'm done here.
Hallo,
so i am one of the people who could not get a nexus 4 from the funny Store because of unknown erros in the ordering system! (after a call they say u have one, next day call the told me that there is no transaction)!
I personally (like many other) do not believe that the Nexus 4 is out of stock! unless they hat only 1000 pieces!
I believe there it is one of the following:
either
- It is a markting game! we do not have any information about how many pieces were sold! .... not really sure
or
- Google do not trust this LG nexus really and did offered only limited pieces to be sold, to see how does the Nexus 4 do in the every day use! a kind of real life test!, so they can (maybe/maybe not) prevent the failures in the next shipment of nexus 4. And that is why google did not set a pre-order option on the funny Store!
As i can see it is really better that many of us could not get a nexus 4 first shipment (may be last shipment too!). I also do not like to buy a phone which i did not hold in my hand! or a phone which is not really tested yet!
So be happy like me because u did not buy the nexus 4 yet!

Then plz can u explain to me why was that not really professional from the Master Google?
Funny how none of those reasons could actually make someone "happy" they didn't get one... its not like you just broke the news that the device is a nuclear time bomb at T - 6:66
Well, everything has its good side. Those who weren't able to get a Nexus 4 can wait and see people's impression about this device, more reviews (besides the wide anandtech review), possible device issues, etc.
I admit I will buy a Nexus 4 as soon as it becomes avaliable again, but I'm also worried about the non-AOSP thing. So let's see hot it goes now on.
That's exactly what I told myself on my way to work after my attempts to place an order failed - until an hour later when my wallet showed an accepted order along with confirmation email-and I changed my mind:laugh:
OP that sounds really stupid. period.
I personally think that it's better to wait, since I want to see how durable the device is. And for the most part, I will be buying my Nexus 4 when either Ballistic Cases/Otterbox/Trident release a case for this phone, idk something about that back glass gets me a little worried about how sturdy this phone is...

Why not go with an official bumper case? That is the lightest thing that will protect fully against falls (unless you drop it on an uneven surface where the glass touches first.. unlikely)

Are you serious? You really think that there is enough time between the first batch arriving and being used and shipping the second batch of phones they're going to have enough information to make serious hardware changes? A little far-fetched methinks.
How about something positive like Google set a limit on the devices to ensure that each one was sent out in a timely manner and the orders could be processed swiftly before relisting the device that was hugely popular?

I don't think that the glass makes the phone not 'sturdy'. I would guess that the phone is well made, solid and also looks really nice because of the tough Gorilla Glass 2 backing. Obviously, this is purely speculative but I can imagine that with a bumper and - more importantly - a little care, this device will last a while and be great to have.

All my phones up until now have been on contract, and each upgrade has never coincided with a launch. Part of the appeal with the N4 (along with the price of course) was to get a phone at launch for the 1st time. I'm happy to put up with teething problems -as a long standing Android dabbler, that is part of the masochistic fun. It is just nice to be in at the very beginning for a change.

I am not trolling, but maybe the N4 isn't for you, I hope you won't close this thread or get to mad, I just want to save some the frustration of buying this device ... here is why
1. OTG USB - it said it had it when I bought it, it doesn't ! This isn't a very "advanced" feature nowadays and is basic. I can't plug in a keyboard, a external drive, or million other things. This would have been a deal breaker for me.
2. The battery isn't very good, having extra batteries is a very good thing, and charging them in a charger with you phone stashed away is a must while traveling sometimes.
3. It is too fragile for many people's daily use, the glass back is expensive to replace, it doesn't have areas made to take impacts like most phones should for use in the real world.
4. An SD card is awesome in a phone, it really is you can do so much in daily productivity with one.
5. It doesn't come with a headset and that sucks big time, ad that to the cost of ownership.
6. JB doesn't have Mass Storage mode, this very important to many people, Samsung still has it thou. Its great as you might want to plug your phone into a strangers mac in the middle of a desert one day and you won't be able to move files.
7. the main camera is under glass, so if you scratch the glass you get bad shots.
8. it is so slippery that you need to have a bumper on it, I dont like cases and bumpers as It is already to big for my pocket naked.
Now I know there is reasons people might love this phone, for playing games plugged in at home, some might care about getting updates ASAP (i dont care at all) It does have a pretty screen, wireless charging... there is lots of reasons you might LOVE this phone, but for ME it is a big huge downgrade from any other "superphone"

I guess this was told before the release
2. The battery isn't very good, having extra batteries is a very good thing, and charging them in a charger with you phone stashed away is a must while traveling sometimes.

again was told even before you bought it
3. It is too fragile for many people's daily use, the glass back is expensive to replace, it doesn't have areas made to take impacts like most phones should for use in the real world.

glass back gives a nice feel to the phone unlike the plasticy Samsung phones (bear in mind even they are slippery and flimsy)
4. An SD card is awesome in a phone, it really is you can do so much in daily productivity with one.

5. It doesn't come with a headset and that sucks big time, ad that to the cost of ownership.

you get what you pay for.
6. JB doesn't have Mass Storage mode, this very important to many people, Samsung still has it thou. Its great as you might want to plug your phone into a strangers mac in the middle of a desert one day and you won't be able to move files.

I stick a usb into my mac and the phone at the other end and I can transfer files to the n4.
7. the main camera is under glass, so if you scratch the glass you get bad shots.

same with 90% of the phones out there.
8. it is so slippery that you need to have a bumper on it, I dont like cases and bumpers as It is already to big for my pocket naked.

don't buy it then..but it's for you to decide for yourself not for others
Now I know there is reasons people might love this phone, for playing games plugged in at home, some might care about getting updates ASAP (i dont care at all) It does have a pretty screen, wireless charging... there is lots of reasons you might LOVE this phone, but for ME it is a big huge downgrade from any other "superphone"

again it's your personal opinion bro.
Edit
I love this phone//N4 FTW \m/
like a boss
Like I said, don't get mad Bro's, why would you all be so defensive ? It's all good.
Lots of people would LOVE this phone, I said it.
When I ordered it said it had OTG on page, that is fraud in some peoples book, I guess you guys don't care, but I was mislead about a very important basic feature, it almost makes the phone useless, I need OTG more than any other single feature.
If you need phone in the outdoors, this isn't the phone for you, if you need it to move files as easy as you can, this isn't a good phone, if you need lots of battery power, this isnt the phone.
There is lots of reason this may be the prefect phone for you, but for me it isn't.
I am pissed about the cheap construction and the OTG thing, and no headset, those I didin't know when I ordered original.
Your so brainwashed you want to ban someone that isn't agreeing with you ? little hitlers are you ?
What a geeky forum this is, I am not insulting your girlfriend or mom, or yoru race or anything worth getting mad about, I am saying this phone is a big bummer for me all around and I voiced my concerns. You can't handle the debate as you can't really explain why a SD , removable battery, OTG, and a less likely to crack phone isn't good for any usefull reason other than someone has told you it feels better, cloud storage is better and you are find with one battery.
Ok, I guess I am a revoultioanry compared to the sheep around here, I am just being rational. You are not.

wow, ban someone for not liking their new phone ? That sounds like something a troll would enjoy doing, or Hitler might have, silence the critics scotty, we can't let the bad news out, kill them all ! Black debates where you can't win you just say something like someome is a troll. You are a insecure dude, get a life, it is just a consumer device.
But you have already made these points and have had a thread closed, so why post it again? You lose credibility then and most of your issues are quite subjective to say the least. And to top it off, no headset? What, you mean no cheap tacky headset that is usually replaced by a much better one by the user, isn't included in this phone which is pretty much atleast £100 ($150 to $200) below the cost of other similar phones? And that is an issue? hahaha ok!
they closed my thread because it was in the Q+A forum, fair enough, so I put it in the general forum.
Nothing offensive about my posts of anything, your just mad that I think of this rationally and not like some fairy tale.
I see lots of posts of people complaining about their phones for others to learn from.
It was the people here that convinced me to buy this and not the S2x for $140 less in price, so I wanted to say why I wasn't happy in the end.
This phones isn't as useful to me than others and I said why.

No thats the thing it is $150 US more expensive that a comparable and for ME a much more usefull phone the SSGS2x with 1.5 gig pro, 1 gig memory, OTG !!!!!, NFC, SD CARD STORAGE !!!!, removable battery, Mass Storage Mode, and many other things that make it FAR better than the N4 For ME for WORK and TRAVEL. I don't watch movies or play games.
Your issues are of course valid but could have easily gone in any off the numerous threads already posted, especially considering none of your issues are unique in any way shape or form. In fact most of them are pretty obvious from just looking at the spec sheet.
Mmmmmmm you had me at beer and Jerky
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
OMG dude you forgot:
-> doesn't have LTE
-> new ones aren't glittery
-> google can't keep up with demand and/or LG sucks at manufacturing
-> power button is too hard to reach
seriously go buy a phone you like if you hate this one so much.
Why post such a negative impression
Seems like your thoughts belong in another thread. Love the phone.
Performance is terrific and so open and easy to try new things.'
Got to love the abilty to tweak and play.

for trolling, which is what you are doing. Everything you wrote has been said here many times before, you are not discussing anything new. If you are such a rational thinker then why did you buy this phone when there are so many problems with it? Blaming xda because you bought this phone and are not happy with it makes you the sheep.
I would have to agree with the above statement.
I hope the N5 will bring back the things I mentioned I like, its frustrating with new stuff, one step forward, two sideways, one back...
Otherwise, I admit is a beauty in the hand, fast as hell, pretty to look at, I love vanila android.
Here is another thing I LOVE about this phone - for some reason on my cheap proxy browsing with speak out 711 $10 a month, all my apps are working right out of the box, I don't know why, but it made my cheap browsing only plan unlimited data.
