How's the other refurbished Nexus 4 bought from Groupon doing in here?

Mine got scalding hot once while charging, quickly off it and battery felt bloated. Send it back to Groupon, at that temperature, smth must be damaged inside.

A month later, eXpansys send me a credit note, a refund. They deem the phone irreparable :eek:

I want a new Nexus 4! Other phone just cant compare with it! :s22:

My RedMi 1S going one year liao dropped a few times still going strong :D
I handled down RedMi more than 1 year liao except 4GB Flash cannot install too many apps still going strong.
Overall I am quite satisfied although there is still a lot of room for improvement

Does anyone have any idea where to buy a new battery? Want to change mine but I understand extra batteries are prohibited if I bought it from amazon

Bought it from this chap when he was in states for work, https://sg.carousell.com/p/45758787


FYI the nexus 4 has 3 very common issues known to mankind:

1. Sometimes lousy quality battery
2. Unresponsive power button (Have to replace the button for sure)
3. Non working soft keys. (No known fixes other than installing 3rd soft key apps or replace the whole LCD)

When I rma-ed my Nexus 4 the second time, the power button was rectified, didn't have issues even after 2 years of usage.
