Recently, switched back using n4 w/o any casing or protector. feel great in handling for its size and form factor. Launching and switching between apps also very snappy.

Feel very satisfy with this phone and now looking forwards for the update - Android L :D

I still use the bumper but no screen protector for the past one year. On the software side, Google Play Services had been messing up battery life for the past few months. I finally resorted to Xposed framework + Greenify + DisableService, and finally, my N4 is back to 16 hours of usage!

try tempered glass? i think ebay or qoo10 might have.

physical shop might don't have stock as it's kinda outdated model for them to sell accessories. :s22:

First of all, Nexus 4 is still the best looking Nexus phone of all. IMO.

Been with my Nexus 4 for 2 years alr, still prefer it over the other generic high-end phones.

However, my glass back cracked, should I get it repair and where got lobang to repair?

I think the best is to get the replacement part from ebay and change it yourself. Doubt there is any shop here that do repair for nexus 4.

Just installed Lollipop on it while having a Lollipop in my mouth.

Not too sure why I was so jelly when I was trying to flash the image. Maybe too used to OTA, but definitely more scary than Samsung Odin, everything went well though!

Anyone with any issues with the OTA update? Mine was stuck at the installing system update page for damn long. I restarted 2-5 times and now when i on it, there is just 4 coloured balls spinning about.
No phone now, zzz

wah... is yours rooted when trying to update via OTA? You can try to restore to factory settings via toolkit. Hope this helps :)

The good stuffs are already covered on youtube. So heres some of the uninteresting changes at first look.

UX is totally different. For some it may be a disaster. Perfect example will be Clock; no features missing, but the moment you see the new app you'll feel the overarching need from designers to dumb things down, even when it's unnecessary.

Preliminary thoughts are that things are butter smooth. You get the OSX-like drawing windows animation when switching windows. Very very slick. However, if you tend to leave many apps opened, and many tabs in each app, for example several tabs in chrome and several in others, the new multitask window will be a mess. Maybe it's to be an acquired taste, let's see.

In settings, you can now see your ram usage. Nice.

Stock keyboard has a flat design now, so you get the feeling you're typing on the wrong keys all the time, quite interesting Google decide to head in this direction. Also because there is no longer a vertical line separating the buttons, the number pad on the QWERTY keyboard looks like a joke.

Couple of new wallpapers, which is always nice to have.

As a whole, I got to say lag is non existent which is a great feat considering this is next gen UI. Whatever google did, they did great.

Oh yes,check out the new battery history, theres a simple linear extrapolation to tell you how long more your battery's gonna last
