The Nexus 4 Thread

[kennyboy]

really? or or u just kidding?

For me it is. The positioning of the power button sucks compared to Samsung models. It makes me feel like the phone is going to flip out of my hands every time I try to switch it on.

No more such crap with this app.

Finally got my Matte Black Diztronic TPU Case + SGP Screen Protector shipped to me. Amazon took damn long to come through with the screen protector...

Some comparisons with the Nillkin stuff that's easily available here:

Diztronic

• Provides crapload more protection than any Nillkin stuff (raised back + edges + raised front).
• Still the only case I can find anywhere that has proper power/volume button cover. Why leave the power button oily and full of fingerprints?
• Tight fitting. Once you fit it on, it feels pretty much part of the phone
• Good grip.

SGP Screen Protector

• Proper back cutout for camera vs Nillkin screen protector which covers camera
• Feels a lot smoother as compared to Nillkin. Close to naked glass feeling
• No drop in responsiveness vs slight drop for Nillkin
• Front protector doesn't cover as much as Nillkin's front protector, but still enough for screen area.

Also one good stuff to recommend (rooted Nexus 4 only):

Touch Control for Nexus 4
Swipe to wakeup your phone. Eats a bit of battery (honestly, it's pretty negligible to me), but you don't need to press power button anymore, just swipe to wake it up. Paid version gives you a few more options like swipe to sleep. The first app I bought and probably the one app you'll really get a lot of use for - at least 20 to 30 times a day?

How long did it take the case to arrive? I've ordered mine nearly 4 weeks ago and have not received it yet.

$%^& Obviously LG would prefer to push sales for their own branded products. I suspect Google isn't pushing them hard to launch in more markets as there's already a problem meeting demand in the existing markets.

I also just changed to 27. on SH too. and seems like it helped.

Usually I go to work listening to streaming radio, keep getting broken connection
when I change to 27 and tried it again this morning, it only broke once. and manage to connect back easily.

Not sure if its placebo effect.

Yes, you would be right that LG is of course looking out for their own bottom line.

But Google has no interest in them pushing the N4 anywhere else. They only want to sell it where Google has the rights to sell their own books/music/movies aka not in SG.
