The Nexus 4 Thread

[hiryu]

Interesting. Mind sharing what is this app btw?

Sure.
It's called Nexus Media Importer.
Works with almost all USB cards with a OTG cable. No rooting required.
You can try the free Nexus Photo Viewer first to see if your OTG and USB works before buying. I did that and it worked so I paid for the full app as it allows all media, not just photo.
Both are made by the same person.

This will likely be my next phone. It ain't perfect (wish it had at least 32GB storage and/or microSD, physical keyboard, made by HTC, larger removable battery, etc), but stock Android on a Nexus device makes up for it.

 

[bardsmanship]

i will rather direct import from US...like i did with all my nexus (Nexus One, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 owner here )...cheaper..

Can use Borderlinx, Comgateway etc?

LG hardware usually pretty nice.

But for the love of everything Android their software team cannot code for the life of them or to actually create a decent interface. I tried their recent LG Optimus 4X and all that micro lag with that pretty screen and hardware made me want to throw that phone away. The micro lag comes in all forms on their launcher.

Please, if your programmers cannot optimize a decent interface, just keep it stock k? Your Optimus UI sucks.

i use comgateway for gnexus and nexus 7...nexus one that time got ship directly to singapore.

how did you get your nexus 7 through CGW? or you didn't purchase from play.google.com but elsewhere?

pardon the noob-ness, just rather tempted to get the Nexus 4 and thus wanna know how to go about getting it

How to purchase?

 

[lordlad0]

i purchased directly through google play...vpn and bought with a pure (non-bank) AMEX card...and ship through comgateway..

HTC Sense isn't very good to compare with because it also lags a bit here and there. I using Touchwiz as the benchmark for manufacturer UI. I know the LG 4X hardware/firmware no problem because when I ran Apex on it, it's smooth as butter on an ice rink.

 

[dameos]

So you can't even pay using Singapore credit card even you manage to get into Google play site

you may be surprised buddy... i used my POSB issued debit card for purchasing nexus 7 direct from google play store last month. you just need it to get verified by google.

damn sian with this phone at this price

should be

USD 299 + USD 13.99 (domestic shipping)... Add CGW/Vpost/Borderlinx shipping of say USD 16-20, overshot $400... tio gst..

if only LG SG sell this nexus at S$499 RRP, i think will go OOS for months... but then again it is LG.. hmm

 

[d3fc0n]

my friend is in aussie.. maybe can ask her get it back for me.. woohoo

 

[xonix]

Haiz....I'm ok with 16gb, but the battery is a very sore point.

For me, I feel storage is tougher to live without.

Battery run out I can plug in an external battery pack, charge it and it's ready to go again.

If there's not enough storage, I can't jolly well use a OTG cable and leave the external drive connected to the phone all the time

Well I delete movies after I watch them so it's easy to copy the new files over.

Agree. I also delete movies after watching. I always have 4GB extra storage left in my Gnexus even after downloading some movies + music + other files + apps.

If I wanna keep movies, I will just transfer it to my computer or external hard disk or there is cloud option. Simple as that.

Not all my music collection are on my memory card and it already takes around 10gb++

Not to mention books and comics etc...

Looks like one would have to do some file management if buying Nexus 4
