i notice n4 use micro SIm ... do phone cut provide this service to cut my normal size sim card to micro Sim?

just go google microsim card template, print it out, paste your sim card on the template, use pencil draw the outline then cut. Cut a bit smaller also nvm one i also cut a bit smaller can hear the thing shaking inside but still works and best of all its completely free

You're missing the main part of their arguments.....they're comparing it to the price Google is selling it for online.

Google selling online is different matter from local retailers.. Google could care less about earning money (by selling at near cost) but our local retailers only care about money. That's why so expensive lor.

Most of Google's revenue is from ads...

Don't think xperia z is a good comparison...
maybe xperia sp? spec is closer...

XPeria sp is only dual core with 1gig ram only, how can it compare to N4?

SOme more N4 will always get the fastest and latest android version update. No need to wait 6-12mths, or never get to update loh if get other brand phone.

Was an iOS user since forever and switched to nexus4/android. Very impress with this phone.
Also, i am very new to rooting of android.
Would like to ask if it is possible to root my phone but keep my stock rom so that i can still receive updates from google and also proceed on with using rooted apps such as touch control?
If possible how do I do so? I'm on 4.22 btw

I tried changing the colours in whatsapp but still cannot leee

use the light flow to check all colours are working fine. then uninstall the app.

change settings colour for Grp or individual msg to diff colour in whatsapp. n ensure pulse notification under settings/display is checked.

then reboot your phone.

i remember mine did not work immediately also it might conflict with other apps then has led colour changes nofication settings. do check those apps or uninstall them first.

Make a backup of your sdcard, unlock your boot loader, flash a custom recovery then flash a zip containing the superuser app and the binary.

Not only local retailers hor....every country where N4 is selling not by Google also around the same price.

Long story short, we're not being shortchanged.

Go XDA read up first, you have to make sure that the root apps you use doesn't modify any system files..

you might want to look into this configuration that i setup for my previous phone, galaxy note before i passed to my dad to use...

i rooted my phone (thus, still on stock ROM)...
changed the kernel (specifically, speedmod kernel)

this means my dad gets the interface of a normal Samsung but underneath it, he gets to experience a longer battery life and etc etc...
