Slight Design Change in RMA Nexus 4

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?

Is it just me or is the headphone jack next to the speaker grill in this photo?

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.

Thats true.. Dafaq?

That minor change could affect some cases. Well, maybe not.

Nope, that's the torque screw on the bottom of the phone. It just looks quite big in the photo.

I have hardware rev. 11 and don't have that on mine!!

I'm going with the speaker thing, seems obvious. Now I wish mine had that..

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.

Any way to disable Superior Auto mode on camera

Hi all, is there any way to disable Superior Auto Mode on camera start-up? I would like it to start on "Normal" mode (green arrow in picture) since SAM is awful in low light situations and creates a grainy mess.

no idea... i just came back from a 4 days trip with my phone, best solution i could find is open the camera, put it in normal mode, than lock the phone with the lock key, next time when you unlock the phone (not with camera start up) you will go directly to camera on normal mode.

Thanks but I'm thinking of selling my ZR. Camera is just awful even my Galaxy Nexus took better pictures with just a 5mp camera. Didn't want an S4 but I guess it's the best phone right now. I have contracted Sony about their over processing and low headphone volume. Hopefully they issue an update or at least a reply. Or should I wait for a fix our maybe CM?

thats wierd, in my opinion the camera does a great job, pictures look good and sharp, colors are always nice and mostly white balance is fine.
i've had nokia N8 up untill now which had a great camera and i feel the ZR is not disapointing me.
about headphones are you sure the volume is low? i feel my head exploding if i put the volume to maximum... didn't feel it was low at all...

Sorry I meant the camera is bad in low light it's almost useless without the aid of additional light. I came from an HTC Amaze (aka HTC Ruby) that had a superb camera and the ZR feels like a downgrade. As for the volume. It's not as loud as my previous phones. I like loud music, specially when working out or mountain biking but I can live it it though

Wtf is google playing at 4.4.2 Problems

Just posted this in google forums as well...
Just got the update on my nexus 5...
Ok while it has fixed a few things like camera speed,vibration feedback etc there arw some things that have gone worse...
The camcorder is now extremely dark compared to the camera almost hardly visible when selecting video to record! And in quiet environments all i'm getting from sound recorded is hissing and static, please tell the devs to disable noise cancellation it's making a right mess of recorded audio!
One other thing i've noticed is 2 problems with the gallery app, first off there seems to be some sort of initial stutter when flicking through photos or scrolling that did not exist before on 4.4 and also theres an annoying delaying of a split second when tapping a photo to view full screen which didn't exist on 4.4 almost like the phone is struggling a bit when it shouldn't with the power of hardware that is in the phone, these did not exist in 4.4.

Agree, I find now more bugs on 4.4.2 than on stock 4.4.. what the hell. Gallery app is a disgrace now.

Google is becoming Apple with Rushing updates out and not fixing the problems.

Screen Discoloring?

Aiming for that 3500mAh, thinking that I could get a monster battery life out of it, and.... I am being stupid by getting the phone on eBay.
Well, let's say that the screen is fine when the brightness is above 80%. However as soon as the brightness is lower than that, the upper right hand corner of the screen with a radius of 3cm, and partially the whole right side of the screen appears to be blueish. Closer look reveals that the blue pixels are brighter than the rest.
Questions: any solution to that? I found the app "Filter Your Screen" may be helpful, but I only want that part of the screen to be filtered.
I recognize the noisy "filter" of the OLED display, so don't start that on me, I am only looking for a solution or "fix" for that blueish color.

Keep the brightness at 80%?

At the expense of the battery life? It's like taking the material from the east side of your house then fix the west side of the house.

I keep my brightness maxed 90% of the time and I would consider myself a power user. Flex battery life is phenomenal. One of the reasons is because of the screen.

It's long lasting, but I reckon if the brightness can be lower without compromising the battery life AND without the discoloring, that would be better.
I have a Droid Maxx on my way, should be here tomorrow. I shall donate the device to a dev or sell it at a super low price to help the G Flex community.

That's way cool. You could try one if the dead pixel repairs apps though. Maybe they'll shock it into working right

How does this work?

I am trying that software right now. Wow that is making me trippin'

Due to the nature of the new flexible screen tech used in the G Flex, there is always going to be some discoloration, graininess, and image persistence. Think back to the first AMOLED screens in the original Galaxy S. Its the price we pay for walking around with a mass produced engineering concept.

From the last 2pics it looks as if the program may have worked slightly in the upper left hand corner? What was your experience with the pixel app?

It didn't really work. I was talking to the seller and he agreed to refund 70 bucks to settle the screen problem. Oh well.

My Nexus 5 is warped!

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.
Check you phone...is it warped?

Are you sure it's not the camera?

I'm not sure I understand....laying it flat on the table, screen side down, the entire physical phone itself is warped

Placed my facing downwards, and there's no warping. Have you been leaving your phone exposed to the sun maybe?

That sucks to hear. I just tried it with mines and its perfectly flat.

That does suck, but mines flat as well. Sorry for your luck

I went go-karting a few weeks back and it bent my phone. I bent it back carefully... still not 100% flat but it's better than it was before.

MIne's the same way, noticed it when I first got it and put a case on it. Nothing wrong with it otherwise and I've since forgotten about it so not sure why people are saying they're sorry.

Could it be that your table is warped and not the phone?

Now you have an lg flex.
