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.

Bubbles under the touchscreen

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?

The same problem ，open the screen，similar mold,not dust，
Corroded screen,

I had the same thing on a smaller scale, but it turned out it was just a bit of dirt that formed there...Took the phone apart and cleaned the glass. Everything is fine now!

What about the warranty?

I found also topic about this problem on german LG forum, the topic have about 85 pages!!

i have the same issue, but only one bubble, and it was there the day i bought it. i was too lazy to wait for a replacer, so i just stuck with mine, since it's only visible if you're really looking for it.

I don't think they would have noticed if I had been a bit more careful. They use Philips head screws and no "VOID" stickers.
I actually kinda scratched the glass on the inside

Wow thats sucks guys, if any has or is gonna send it in with an unlocked bootloader i wonder if they will fix it. If any of these manufacturers would honor their warranties for non-software related issues with unlocked bootloaders id stick with them regardless.

I have the same problem, I am do not have official support from LG in my country
Someone has a tutorial in order to clean/remove this bubbles?

I have this too and i think that help only dissasemble to clean this bubbles

Had these bubbles under my screen too. Got mine repaired, at a lg approved shop here in norway. My bootloader was already unlocked before i sent it in. It came back pre-rooted, and they changed the lcd if anyone wonders

Anyone worked out with watch yet

So I got the watch yesterday and wore it at the gym today, it was nice to have media control over my phone during gym, just light resistance and 5 min of cardio, i didnt get that sweaty......BUT
there is moisture behind the camera lens now, pictures are blury. Samsung says watch can not be exposed to any water despite them talking of exercise in their manual. AT&T says not our problem
Looking closely at the behind the camera there is a tiny pin hole, I'm guessing a little moisture seeped in. It is sitting in a bag of rice now but if it is salt water i am worried about residue left on the lens. Maybe venture into disassemble and alcohol if someone ever has a picture guide. Any help is welcome
If the small amount of sweat I had caused issues i am wondering what will happen when people go to baseball/football/outdoor activities in summer and actually sweat

oh and the at&t girl suggested i cover the hole up with electrical tape for next workout, HAHAHAHA
the note 3 rules

Jesus man, I was going to use it when I lifted. I guess ill hold off

If I was you I would return it at a different AT&T. Don't tell them what's wrong with it. Just that you decided it's not for you. Then go to another store and buy again.
I would never keep a $300 anything that was damaged beyond my control. If you cant exercise with the watch on....it's not even worth it.

Yes the problem is mine isn't clearing up mosture is still in there after an evening in a bag of rice. It is clear until I put on my wrist and it gets warm

boah too me, that's a major issue, i also wanted too use the watch for playing golf and running.. but with this issue it's impossible..
does anyone knows what that tiny hole is for?

yeh mine cleared but I also wanted the watch for cycling now I dont want to wear it for activities think I will write to samsung

This definitely needs to be brought to their attention. I feel they should fix this issue for free. $300 for a watch that can't take a little sweat? That's ridiculous.

I ran 9 miles on Monday morning with it and did not have any issues luckily.

ok well i left the watch in the car (it was warm) in a bag of rice and it appears that has removed the moisture, i guess i need to be extra careful now

Very nice, very practical and beautiful watch.
It's only missing durable aspects like scratch prof and water resistant.

I had this issue as well. I thought it was just from the cold remember, but i do remember that i carried my heavy luggage a very long way that day.

Took it to the gym, biked for 30 minutes and did a 2 mile jog, so far so good. Love being able to skip music tracks on the watch.

Nexus 5 put to the ultimate durability test!

BY ACCIDENT.
So this weekend the girlfriend and I were getting ready for a small road trip. I had my jacket and Nexus in hand when I get to the car and I put them both on the top as I dug around trying to find my cigarette lighter -> USB device under the seats. I got distracted and ended up leaving with both my coat and phone on the top of my car. I turn out of my apartment complex and floor it to 40mph. I'd say about 5 minutes later we get to the gas station and I realize my Nexus is missing!
I realized what I had done and we went back to see both of my items lying in the busy street. My poor Nexus was face down on the asphalt... I had to play Frogger to get across the road safetly and to my surprise the phone was okay. It has quite a few small scratches on the front and the plastic on the top edge is a little rough but aside from that everything is fine. I was so surprised after shattering my Nexus 4 not too long ago.
Just figured I'd share this story. I'm more impressed with the build quality now after knowing that it landed face down and was probably ran over by a few cars :highfive:

Fwiw your durability will definitely vary. The phone slipped out of my hands from waist height on turkey day and got a nice thick scratch across the whole mid section of the screen. Of COURSE it landed face down -_- first time ever dropping it too

The scratches look way worse in the photo because I had it facing a bright light. Normal use I hardly notice them (especially with the screen on)
I might eventually just buy a new glass and replace it myself but we'll see. I dropped both my Note 2 and Nexus 4 with awful results.
And yes it was naked when it hit the pavement.

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.

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.
