LG Nexus 4 E960 - User Reviews

  • 4 g lte only works with certain carriers in the us and no where else

  • It does !

  • Best-looking Nexus ever made.

  • It does not support 4G band.

  • Does the phone supports 4G sim? I have problem in connecting to mobile data after I switched to 4G

  • Does the phone supports 4G sim? I have problem in connecting to mobile data after I switched to 4G

  • This phone was used extensively by my son. It was a nice & cool gadget. Since he migrated to Apple Phone about 2 years ago, this phone is lying idle. However, I decided to try my hands on it. Its works fine except its response is a bit slow and battery is now poor. Sometimes it goes into hibernation on its own forever (does not respond at all) and I had to hard press the switch on/off button to reboot it.

  • Still using mine daily as a work phone since Google had the runout sale in 2013 just before Hammerhead released (AU$299). Have replaced 2 batteries. Power button gets hopeless but benefits from disassemble and clean internally. Qi charging has been awesome for years. After 5 years the web browsing is now noticeably slower (comparative) to other devices. Today there was a special on Moto G6 Play AU$299. It's hardly better than the Nexus 4 I have for the same price - 5 years later... Best phone I have ever had.

  • Yes, my wife's Nexus 4 is over 4 years old and still going, but has a few problems. The main one is the on/off switch, which rarely works so we have to leave it on all the time; sometimes the battery runs out and takes forever to recharge. In performance comparisons with my Sony Xperia SP C5303, the Nexus beats the Sony hands down, and is more bulletproof. If I want to do web browsing, I use the Nexus-- much faster. Will keep using this phone until it dies, then consider upgrading to maybe Moto G6S Plus or Nokia 6.1. Will not get an iPhone on principle-- what a ripoff they are?

  • I bought this touch screen for my E960, then I found the touch screen is laminated with the LCD display, when I separated them, the LCD display was broken too, I ended up buying this touch screen/ LCD/ and frame combination, it is fixed now.

  • I want to Buy Touch Sreen These Photo Where to Plz Tel Me

  • super true, if it was not because cracked screen and cost of replace more than 100 USD, this may be my spare phone.. NFC, barometer,compass, no lag at all ... best of its era

  • I remember i buy this phone way back 2013, now I'm saving money to buy a new one, but what can i say up until now this phone is like bruce lee, i still love it, in gaming playing final fantasy exvius there's no lag simultaneous cast of different magics, there's no lag still superb, the reason im buying a new one is storage capacity, I'm still aiming for Snapdragon variant it never failed me when it comes to performance.

  • hi if you want to flash stock rom you can just grab it from google android developer site.

  • This phone was the first love of my life back in 2012... I gave it to someone who desperately needed a phone because her phone broke, but I was using it till very later on, I used the Samsung Galaxy Alpha. It was cheap to buy, yet had that premium quality feel to it. It was the closest experience you could get to stock android at the time. It was very advanced at the time of release, to the point the hardware was ahead of most of the phones on the market even two years later... and it's something to say considering the hardware improvement rate of Smartphones exploded since then. So overall, everything ran very well on that phone without a single problem. The only problems bugging me with that phone at the time were the glass screen on the back, the heating and the battery. The back of the phone's glass was a joke : So many friends that had the same phones had this glass cracked less than two months after owning it... including myself. It was mandatory that you bought a very good case as soon as you own the phone. Otherwise, I was playing a lot Robot Unicorn Attack 2 at the time and I remember I couldn't play more than 15 minutes because the phone was becomming stuttery and very hot. As for the battery, it was bearable at first, but the durability dropped quickly after a year.

  • I have LG nexus 4 how can install full soft ware for my mobile device

  • The E960 does have 4G LTE mode Go to the dialpad/phone. Dial in the this number: *#*#4636#*#* Tap "Phone info" Tap the drop down list under "Set preferred network type". Select your LTE requirements from the list (not all the list fits on the screen at once) The 4G LTE network will now be activated.

  • It never had LTE bands to begin with, check the specs they don't show any LTE bands

  • I thought because update kernel remove LTE from the devices.

  • Gonna have to disagree with you on that since it doesn't have LTE

  • may phone softwer problem but no solishone

  • best phone of its era, i believe it still can compete in 2016,, beside the battery.. i still have it, but the glass is broken..beautiful design,,best OS without bloatware, no lag..NFC gyrometer, barometer ,,

  • Having problem with video.It is uploaded through what'sapp and is not playing. The message is an error. Anyone knows what is going on ?

  • Fantastic phone, only con is battery issue (or how others have mentioned it turning off automatically.) Mine was going strong for 4+ years, started having same problems. All I did was order a new battery online for it, now it's great again. I think the OEM battery just loses its capacity to hold a charge. But again, this is after 4 years, I'd arguably call that 'standard' :-) TL;DR - Buy a New Battery Online for it, OEM if even possible.

  • Hi. Hope you guys doing great. Can i get best Nouget rom link (a stable one like original 5.1) for nexus 4? Have a good day.

  • Mine is about 4.5 years old (I'm typing this on my Nexus 4 lol). Works great for the most part. Shut down automatically every once in a while and freezes once in a blue moon, but great otherwise. I've just ordered HTC One M9 and am waiting for it to arrive. Will pass this on to my brother in law, God willing.

  • LG Nexus 4 phone is good but power button is not working properly and its powered off suddenly and sometime hang don't know why??

  • Phone has good specs but fails to utilize them. Its a good phone for $135 on ebay but I have to reset quite often because power button fails to work or the phone freezes or hangs. Its like its got a massive brain but doesn't know how to use it. The 5MP camera is terrible though. Compared to an iphone 4 its crap (i don't like apple btw) Still, for the price, I'm happy to put up with its faults since it does pretty much everything.

  • Yes, has 4G. But wasn't very easy to make work. Search on XDA Forum to enable any 4g band in any Qualcomn chipset.

  • battery easy to replace, good phone

  • It's still working like a charm with nougat Rom and unlocked 4g .the problem is battery can't handle 4g connection for a long time

  • yes you need to unlock it .search for manuals how to install a rom which support it

  • Yah it will work, u have change in administration settings

  • me too :D now it's time to buy new One.. Pixel XL

  • no 4g on nexus 4

  • No, 3g only

  • Im still using this from 2013

  • sir, does 4G works on nexus 4?

  • Does 4G works on nexus 4 ??

  • I just put inside new genuine battery, so probably I will use it at least until 2020. One of my best investments.

  • The best phone i have ever have, loves this so much better than any expensive samsung phones i had in the past!!! Very advanced and ahead of its time with all its features when it was released 5 years ago in 2012!! Now i also even have a spare second one just in case if it dies on me someday, a top notch phone with a decent price.

  • I would love to see a refreshed version of the same design under the Android One Program, with an improved camera and battery at least. I loved this phone but mine died months ago.

  • GB are crap only at 16 as the max good camera but ugly because the camera is on the lower and flashlight at the top. 4.6 Stars

  • Qualcomm rocks !! The phone is still going well even after 4+ years for me. I play all major games & using social networks all the time. Not a single complain in last 4 years. One of the best thing I have bought.

  • Bad power button quality. (shame on you LG). Having trouble only after less than 2 years

  • This phone was so ahead of its time re value for money, when first released 4 years ago, that it is only now starting to show some obsolescence. I've had a no problems throughout my whole ownership, although I think this is because I chose not to move from kitkat to lolllipop (I kept OS at Kit Kat 4.4.4 after a bad experience updating my Nexus 7 to lolipop which subsequently became unusable) I dropped it and it was very expensive to replace screen (more than half the original cost of the phone). The main issue with the phone now is that it has become very slow to load URLs. and battery life is down to about 4 hours with full on use. It's become frustrating so the time has come to upgrade...but to what? Probably another Nexus. This phone was an instant classic upon arrival and I really wish I could upgrade software and hardware on it forever. It's the perfect size and has been the epitome of reliability. It's rarely let me down (has GPS roaming access without network access!!). Blessed.

  • awesome using since 4 years .... not even a single error or problem.... it even with present coming mobiles also ...... what else is required .. you just dont a mobile ... its just everything ......

  • I bought mine on Order date: 2-Jun-2013. It has had NO dead pixels, NO touch problems, NO battery problems, NO lag. Runs the official Android 5.1.1. Reception is GREAT, GPS is GREAT (it also tracks GLONASS satellites). The apps that I use run GREAT. I've just had a screen protector and bumper on it and only dropped it a couple of times (luckily no scratch). It just WON'T DIE (on it's own). I would buy a new phone but it's like getting rid of your hot girlfriend for a hotter girl just because you're bored... and I'm not that type of guy. SIGH So all I can do is... *clap slowly* ... well played my Nexus 4... well played.

  • Mine just died ( lcd broken ) but the digitizer and glass still intact ! very weird

  • That could as well be due to overuse problem. I realize my middle/lower middle screen wasn't working really perfect, so i installed a glass screen protector and it works fine. I change my glass screen protector every 4-5 months and it feels as good as new!

  • 4 Years OLD. still going strong. No plans to upgrade until fails.

  • I will have exchanged battery in few days so I will prolong it's life. What IMHO is unique and I love about it is width x height ratio. If you look at phones the usual ratio is 1280x720. This one has 1280x768. So for reading texts you have phone that looks like 5,2' or something with much more compact form.

  • Phone is still running extremely well, much better then few newer ones so yes i would recomment you buying this phone. I still got mine and its perfect.

  • Is it worth buying one now ?

  • Yeah seriously, I love this phone. It works perfectly even though it's several years old!

  • yes

  • You can get an entire screen assembly from ebay for less than $40 and it's easy to replace. I did it even though i actually got a new phone as well - it's hard to not use the opportunity to upgrade. Anyway, the Nexus 4 is still a decent phone and very much usable especially on Android 5.1. I use it when I travel as it is unlocked and the kids play with it.

  • I've been using it since it's release and it still works perfectly, not even a dead pixel or touch dead zone.

  • I bought this phone 3 years ago and it's perfect. Just perfect. Even now it works fine, very smooth, without any lagging. So I am so sorry I dropped it on the floor and now 1/5 of the screen stopped working and it bothers me, even if I can do almost everything thanks to rotating screen. But, surely this is a well worth phone and I recommend it to everybody. And for me, now is time to move on and get another Google device - Nexus 5x :-).

  • Hi, I had the same problem but I was able to fix it ever since I rooted the device. You can now install Marshmallow 6.x.x operating software although Nougat 7.x.x. is going to be available soon.

  • I too love this phone and using it since it's release.. Recently middle portion of screen touch is not working. Is there any workout for this? I really don't want to replace this phone, it's still the best phone

  • Started using this phone in 2013 and got the touch screen problem in 2015. Lower half of the touch screen is not working now. Also, soft keys stopped working.

  • Android Nougat 7.0 ported to the LG Nexus 4

  • Android Nougat ported to the LG Nexus 4 !

  • can u plz give me the link from ali express,the panel u bought. i have mine cracked as well

  • I have replaced 2 displays in the last year (crack it twice). Ordered from AliExpress and replaced it by myself. Cost me ~40$ per display with the minimum necessary tool the send with it. Phone works like new

  • Try to replace it yourself. Check out fixit.com for a guide and buy the parts through Amazon instead of eBay. (Amazon is generally better with returns if the part doesn't work)

  • This phone has served me very well for almost 4 years, Battery does not last as long as advertised above but still lasts all day with moderate use. Problem i'm having now is that the charge port no longer enjoys having power cords plugged into it and laughably slips them out at the slightest provocation. Thinking about an LG X Power. Seems like exactly the same phone.

  • I have been using it for the last 4 years. Fluid performance till today. Mine was a 8 gb version so I am running out of space (most of the time). Battery was never too good but it lasted for a day but after 4 years it is obviously almost dead. The experience of a pure android phone is awesome.

  • allready two years and still kickin like bruce lee ,but few day i go the screen stops responding,and im thinking if i should spend 89 euros to replace it ,or buy the part and replaced my self to save some honey,what you will do if u stand on my shoes?? Same thing happened with me. After exactly 3 years, my screen stopped responding, not completely but partially and I was planning to replace the display (panel+digitizer) and it was costing me around 4500 INR (around 60 euros). But I replaced it with OP3 and believe me it's well worth it if you can invest that much amount of money for a new phone. Nexus 4 was no doubt the best phone I ever had but once something goes wrong with the phone it is better to sell it off rather than investing.

  • This is the best phone ive ever had!

  • Sexiest smootest fastest use so less ram while others eat battery. Call quality maximum perfect. Display like wow .. battery love it.. like using dark feather.. body like emerald black glass on back sparkling looks next premium level.. I luv Nexus 4 I I'm in luv with it.. perfect length handy kind of set..

  • Use less app keep ur mobile simple don't use many icon or apps on main screen just put clock.. it has a very good battery trimming. Use very less backlight mode. Use black dark wallpaper.. del unused apps.

  • I never had a facebook aplication, problem is in something else.

  • very good phone

  • Uninstall the facebook application(s). My battery life improved tenfolds when I did that, it's ridiculous.

  • My Nexus isn't dead yet, but it's only a matter of time. I a reaiiabld

  • I have ANDROID SYSTEM BATTERY DRAIN problem, on stock lollipop. Any sugestions how to resolve this problem?

  • I have ANDROID SYSTEM BATTERY DRAIN problem, on stock lollipop. Any sugestions how to resolve this problem?

  • There is no official OTA update to Marshmallow for the LG Nexus 4. You might try a 3rd party build from Cyanogenmod, which is built from the same open-source codebase as Android Marshmallow. I'd warn about voiding your warranty, but with a device as old as this it's most likely expired by now anyway.

  • Good phone.used it for 3 years.screen got broken was recently replaced but I forgot the password so I have not be able to gain assess in to the phone.Could I get any relevant advice on how to assess my phone.it's LG E960 nexus 4.Thanks

  • Hi. I am also using Google Nexus4 it is really good smart phone . I think LG Google Nexus 4 is better than LG G2

  • Depends on a battery. Bought a cheap one on aliexpress - works even worse than worn out original one.

  • I have bought nexus 4 recently, 2.5 years old. Battery backup is 3-4 hours on continues 3G data usage. Is 3-4 hours actual battery backup of nexus 4 or Is it due to old battery ? If i replace battery; does it give better battery backup ??

  • I have bought 2nd hand nexus 4 which is around 2.5 years old.it gives 3-4 hours of battery backup on continues 3G usage. Is 3-4hours is acutal battery backup of this phone or is it due to bad or old battery ??? Waiting for user experience...

  • life s good

  • I agree KitKat was highly optimized Android Version even it works perfectly on 512 of ram.

  • Oh my god no way. My phone that i've had for 3 years just broke yesterday. Two Nexus 4's surviving 3 years dying within 2 days?

  • KitKat was the best release of Android so far in Android history.

  • My Nexus 4 kind of died :( but well I am trying to resurrect it...Hope it works!!

  • My nexus 4 crashed finally after 3 years :(

  • today my beloved nexus 4 died, after 3,5 years of hard labor. rest in pieces my dear, I'll miss you...

  • how to inset sim card

  • I am facing problem with my battery

  • Yes I too

  • Are You suffering from a problem of overheating while using it??? My phone gets too much heats up. Your phone also having this same problem?? please help me.

  • Never disappoint about it. Cyanogen has a snapshot.. Try it.

  • I have been using it for almost 3+yrs and didn't got any issues. If you are not a tech freak, then it can run almost all usable android apps upto 5.1. Disappointment is for unavailability of Marshmallow upgrade.

  • I've been using this phone for a year now and I don't like it anymore, when I finish a call the last app that I used pops open and then dissapears right away. Also the battery life is not good, even though I turn off wifi and GPS and I barely use Bluetooth and I also close all recent apps. The biggest issue I have is that most of the time when I play a video on Photos or on Facebook I can hear the video but the picture freezes... it doesn't happen on Youtube though. I've reseted my phone multiple times and it doesn't fix the problem... I'm about to upgrade to SG Note 4. I did have a good experience the first couple of months but I leave it up to you if you wants to purchase this phone. Not what I expected.

  • Used it since launched. Lollipop ruined it! With so many no voice in call issues. With Kitkat it was blistering fast. With Lollipop camera quality has gone down too.

  • i have been using the phone for 3 years and i have never had such an experience. Maybe you are just a slave of another brand and trying to throw some dust in the people's eyes who haven't had the phone, cause i could not imagine where all these lies come from? Never had such issues like, battery drain and instant restart. I mush mention that i have never uploaded any customer rom, or unlocked the bootloader - this is probably the second option why you could have such an experience? The only cons i have to admit is the camera. Its far cry from the contemporary cameras, but its understandable since there has been 3 years of development from the point Nexus 4 came out. Lastly i do confirm that have a healthy and peaceful relationship with my phone so far.

  • I have been using LG Nexus-4 for the last two and half years. Very good phone with practically no issues. It is smooth and giving wonderful user experience. The only problem I faced was, the screen broken after falling from a considerable height and the new screen gave lot of touch issues.

  • great phone with no need to switch to another phone, The only thing is that after 3 year of usage and because i dropped it too many times, i lost part of the touch area in the screen recently.

  • Been using this phone since launch. Looked at upgrades but honestly can't find a good reason to move on. The glass sandwich case is still one of the most stylish on the market and still attracts admiration. As smooth as ever and being a basic level of Android, no skins or propriatory software, has been the fist in by group of friends to receive Android updates, often by months. Often had updates others never get. Although at this point it has probably reached the limit of operatiing software updates as the latest build of Android supports features such as finger print recognition which this phone doesn't have. Battery is the original one and still lasts over 24 hours. I've seen lots of complaints about battery life but this isn't my experiece and wonder if those phones have had unreliable third party batteries fitted. Although the phone isn't built to allow removal of battery it can be done, check YouTube. App upgrades have never been a problem. Still pleased with it after all this time.

  • I use the Nexus 4 for 1 year and i have a good expirience with the clean Android system with no bloatware with Lollipop 5.1.1 are perfect , i love it ! And the design and glass material and size are perfect for me , but the bad things on this device for me are the front câmera , they are só slow wit mid/low-light , and with HDR mode on , and the battery life...i can't complete 6hrs on moderate usage with this device...

  • I use

  • CM11 is a Costum ROM for Android , but not Official!

  • what is cm13?

  • Nexus 4 is such a mediocre phone overall, but its main flaw is battery. It dies in the afternoon after a night's full charge. And sometimes it drains so fast that charging is not enough, it dies suddenly, even when connected to a charger, and turning it back on is even more painful as it needs to restart all the apps due to the incorrect shutting down (the whole process takes roughly 30 min, with an average number of apps). I would not recommend this device to anybody that wants to have a healthy and peaceful relationship with their phone.

  • I've been using this phone for 3 years and still works like a charm! No lags Fired up with Nova Launcher and it's very fluid in terms of animation, still supports updates in apps, Can still play High Graphics games and more.... I do not intend to replace this phone for now. I'm looking for a tablet right now to watch movies.

  • I have been using this phone for 3 years.it is an amazing and wonderful phone.it's price also less than other mobiles.I have dropped my phone many times.and I did 3 times repair as well.now my phone storage almost full.Itz unfair that there is card for this.No software issues.Any high graphical still supported.It still get latest updates instantly.I have never felt that this was a bad phone with my user experience.

  • same like you except I didn't replace the battery, I will replace the phone itself for Nexus 5X but after ordering it don't know if its worth it or shall I just replace the battery of the the Nexus 4

  • So my 3 year old nexus 4 battery was behaving badly recently , so I decided to replace it with a Nexus 5X and already made an order, after that, I noticed that battery usage goes like this 20% to Messenger and 20% to facebook !!! While I had my FB account deactivated fro two weeks !! I uninstalled the two apps and I feel the battery is fine, shall I just cancel the order and go to the service center and replace the battery ? I checked with them and found its only costing 90 AED to replace here in Dubai (authorized LG centre) I'm just wondering if the phone will be ok after replacing the battery and all , or shall I just proceed with the Nexus 5X which will be arriving this week ?

  • Bought in May 2013 for 299 USD, still doing good. It is fast, and very responsive. Display is clear. Call quality is good. Camera is good in bright daylight. Otherwise it is sub par. Had to change the battery once. Otherwise no malfunctions.

  • Skip the 5 and go for the 6

  • nexus 4 or moto g 2nd???

  • I love this phone, it's fast and no lags. It's still alive and kicking. Love the battery life, it's still last for 2 days and half. :) I love all the nexus versions! can't wait to buy nexus 5

  • Hi, regarding your question about what kind of charger is used for your battery. Usually the charger output current should be about half of the batter capacity. For example, for this LG Nexus 4, the battery is rated at 2100 mAh, so a good charger should be around 1000-1200 mAh (may also be written as 1.2 Amp). This phone comes with a 1200 mAh charger. The voltage output is the same on almost all chargers, 5 volts DC (+/- .5volts). If you use too strong a charger you can damage the battery, causing it to swell and destroy the cells inside it. If you use a lower output charger it will work but take longer to charge the battery, and may not charge it to 100%. I also suggest you download and use a battery maintenance program from Google Play store. There are a number of very good apps out there for controling battery charging. I personally like Battery Doctor by Cheeta Mobile, but there are many other excellent similar apps too. I hope this helps you. Cheers, Steve G

  • This might be first world problem, but this phone keeps sliding off when I place it on top of my leather wallet. WTF Phone?!

  • So far this is the best smartphone ever ... But I would have a full HD screen )

  • Got the updated version (with the nipples) sealed in the box off contract on Google Play for $200. I damaged it twice first it fell out of my kangaroo pocket from jugging in my auto shop face down and second after throughing it onto my bed with my U-lock in the way. The rim isn't gloss gun metal steel it's plastic but thank fully absorbed the blow, screen didn't crack or scratch and hasn't on both sides never used a case or screen protector only got a nick in the glass display smaller than a gran of sand doesn't cut my pinky finger. Excellent phone done a lot of work to the software, only needs a SD card to become my daily. :)

  • Love this phone still using .

  • I bought a used Nexus 4 last March for 110 USD. When I realise, the Marshmallow is not coming for this phone, I installed CM13, and it is worth it, it is so fast.

  • Bought used one 1.5 years ago , it's seen hard time and finally screen gave up , didn't crack but not responsing to touch in certain area. Still as fast as ever though ! 5/5

  • My nexus 4 is some touch buttons are not working

  • Great phone, lasts for long (3 years and counting) and stays the same (responsive) How can I tell what is the maximum charging current? Thanks

  • Very good phone at any aspect, still useing.

  • Unfortunately for you, I am not alone on this. The phone has its mishaps: big ones at that but its hardware remains the turn on. I still use mine till date, got it fixed and all, hoping I don't have to spend a dime anymore on repairs.

  • the most annoying about nexus 4 is it's battery life..

  • i have use nexus 4 for a brief moment..it's interface is really fluid..high class (glass panel) design..yes indeed camera is slow & not good for taking picture..the battery review is also not good..now i use lg g2mini it has great camera (better if you combine it with google camera)..great battery life..the performance is also good..considering the removable battery & expandable storage too..both phone have unique design and feels comfortable to hold..

  • guys i cant really decide whether i should get this phone(really great phone but i hear that camera is not that good + no radio) or go for lg g2 mini...

  • Just update it, I had the same problem and updated it and it cooled down

  • can any one tell me if we can activate 4G or LTE on this phone ??????

  • Look at the "features" tab. It clearly says "wireless charging" there.

  • You can charge the phone via NFC yes

  • My nexus 4 is mic and hearings is not working when I m upgrade to lollipop. !, now I m rest that mobile still its not working and now also get soft key problem. ?..plz help

  • You state "full spec" but do not state whether or not it has qi charging capacity. This fact should be on all your specs.

  • over all view the nexus 4 is good.fast processing with 2gb ram and 16 gb internal but due to single slot and no card slot it is little annoying.

  • Nexus 4s should now be running 5.1.1 and probably will not get any new updates

  • Hi dude I like your review. Can you tell me the android version it is now running.

  • I bet you are the only one complaining.

  • And, it now runs Ubuntu for phones, making it worth so much more. It has a full desktop command line, and plans are to add a full desktop when attached to a screen, keyboard, and mouse.

  • Great phone although a bad shooter really, camera is quite poor and needs some new features to keep it leet in todays market xx Lymum Bye

  • Wow. Apple took 8 years to make a phone almost this good. This phone is STILL better than iPhone. And this is 3 years old, and can still play better than the iPhone.

  • The best phone I've ever had! This is the first time in my life that I review anything, but I thought: this phone deserves it. I purchased it 3 years ago and still using it like it was bought yesterday. I get the latest Android updates before anyone else. No bugs, no needless headaches. Next phone would be Nexus again.

  • ok

  • It's 3yrs old.

  • No sadly it dont get android 6 from google but if you absolutly want Android 6 do that ive done it and its really really great

  • No...bcoz it is two years old phone which is older phone to get 6.0 update

  • i just bought a nexus 4 new the other day great phone hopefully it will get android 6.0 although i doubt it will

  • Will the Nexus 4 get 6.0 marshmallow?

  • my nexus 4 become so hot and also have a very low bettery timing...... any one can tell me that how to solve this problem....tanx

  • Had a nexus 4 for almost three years, was working fine until i updated to 5.1.1, now the soft menu buttons wont work! Im sure its a bug in the update. I flashed the Chroma rom and soft menu is working fine now but i get a strange error message saying insert SD card before using camera? Nexus doesnt have an SD card slot! Anyway, other than that the phone is amazing

  • Awesome device. Still doing good for me but know lags a little bit on games with high graphics like Mortal Kombat X & I have no idea why does this happens as Nexus 4 is fully capable to handle such graphics smoothly..

  • Great phone -- when it works. I have been plagued by issues with this phone. First of all the softkeys stopped working intermittently, and now the right hand side of my screen doesn't sense touches. The softkeys however have magically come back to life. I don't want to spend the $150 NZ to fix the digitizer because I have no confidence that the rest of the phone will remain functional. TL;DR Good on paper, disappointing IRL.

  • I really think I should get the Google Nexus 4! The only thing is that I just don't know how much app storage (internal storage) it has, and how much picture storage (external storage) it has.

  • My nexus 4 doesn't show notification light. Can anyone tell me what's the problem

  • It is one of the best phone ever used. Still in 2015 it doesnt lags or any issue. The only drawback now is camera and battery except its great!!!

  • Best phone according to my experience. It has never disturbed in my 1 and half year experience

  • I also had red light problem First connect a charger with phone. Then press power and volume down button for aprx 30 sec. A screen will appear. Touch start button. Now your problem is resolved.

  • buy a new ,lol,cause it's too old for you

  • I have seen this problem posted on YouTube. Do a Google search. Basically it involves opening it up and reseating the battery. The red light problem was solved. Hope this helps.

  • Nexus 6 unofficial for Nexus 4 (at your own risk)

  • Anyone knows how to get Marshmallow 6.0 for Nexus 6 unofficial?

  • I had this phone in 2013 Feb it went very hot in my pocket for no reason. when using skype it shut it self off for no reason every time i video call on skype. shut it self off when playing 3D shooting games dead tigger. and also get's very hot when playing hardcore games. was not happy with the phone. but now you can get Moto E (2015) and Moto G (2015) same performance as nexus 4. or if you from UK then get Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 £125 which is nearly same as LG G3 performance.

  • Very bad from Google phone having good specs (Quad Core CPU & 2 Gigs or RAM) no update for 6.0. Even new nexus 5x is having 2 Gigs of RAM. And on the other hand android one is getting update. I think marshmallow will run smoothly if google provide update.We by only nexus to get the update. And know that is also failing even with good specs. Forcing consumer to buy new phone if they want to use new OS. Better to go with Android one at-least way cheaper then Nexus family phones. Nexus 4 comes with update Jelly Bean (4.1–4.3.1) KitKat (4.4–4.4.4, 4.4W–4.4W.2) Lollipop (5.0–5.1.1)

  • I regret purchasing this phone and has been a sour experience. Under 8 months of getting it, I've spent almost as much as I paid for it initially. Screen, OS problems, horribly dilapidated battery are the major issues. The camera is not half as good as the 8MP rating too.

  • I believe you'd have to get a new battery. The phone drains charge on normal operations but immediately after the lollipop upgrade, my battery life became zero (under a year of purchase!) I am getting a Lithium ion battery constructed for the phone else it is completely useless.

  • Can anyone advice me how to solve battery and heating problem? It's a lovely phone speed is aswome picture quality everything still working perfect.

  • Red light problem, doesn't turn on. I know it's not dead as when I changed the battery, changed the charging port, the phone was back to life but only for 24 hours or less at a time. Never charged it on the laptop. Did charge it from an extension plugged into the wall connected to an international outlet adaptor charger a few times. Running out of ideas and still paying my plan without having a back up phone, is a repair worth less the cost of the phone? What should I do?

  • hi when i updated it to 5.1.1 the battery drain very very fast wt to doo please guide me .

  • Hello. I had the same question as you. I've been told it could be less about the new OS and more a question of a battery being exhausted after two years of use. I am looking for a repair shop that can guarantee an install of an authentic LG Nexus 4 battery. I think I should be good for another 2 years with this phone.

  • Change your battery.

  • friends its your touch stablizer problem you can use handy soft key by play store.

  • Change your charger..simple☺

  • Buy a digitizer on ebay/amazon and replace it. WIll cost you less than 1k. If you want to replace complete screen, it will cost you around 3.5-4 grands

  • display not working like back & home button wt too doo

  • Best way to know what is the problem is to try with another charger also you can test on other power outlet , if the problem persist change your charger :)

  • Thxx

  • Thx did that and it worked....but after the update the battery drains significantly quicker!!!!

  • My nexus 4 taking more than 3.30 hours to charge . why?

  • I have the same problem and that's something I'll have to try when taking pictures from now on

  • I've been using N4 for 2 years, it was still good but after then my apps were frequently crashed and i don't know why. N4 has less heating problem compared to other phone and the ram is still good (which after the apps crash, it can still function without waiting )

  • Got the same problem dude. Ive found a permanent fix that works for me. What I normally do is tap the screen to focus then hit the snap button. Flash wont work when hdr is activated.

  • Try resetting your phone

  • go setting and go to restore factory settings I think that will help cause that what I did before..

  • how to repair charging bot no starting

  • I got an update yesterday and installed it, and the phone isn't working since then..any help??

  • One of the best smartphones ever made. After almost three years of usage never experienced any problems and it is still very fast. Very solid construction. Probably, this phone will be good for another two years, so no point to buy something new.

  • I'm using N4 from last 2 yrs now and my experience is awesome, but when i updated it to 5.1.1 the battery drain very fast. It gives me only 3-3.5 Hr of screen on battery. Any one have solution for the same please reply. Thanks..

  • lg g2 is still a capable device i wonder if lg will update it after all,at least they should updated to 5.1.1 and end it like the king still its,it is even better than a lot of midrangers and better than a few flagships in battery performace.

  • me to has navigation button problem.try chroma rom for nexus 4.It fixed the problem.I'm currently using this rom my Naviagtion buttons are now working perfectly

  • download windows mediaplayer files from microsoft website and it will recognise the device

  • Mine got 50% brightness using wi-fi connection (not mobile data) using facebook app and some games like clash of clans & brave trials without heavily playing just getting some daily log in bonus, some browsing for research again without heavily usage important research only, texting, calling maximum of 2 to 3 minutes, i gain 9 to 10 hrs of battery use. if i got 20 % i switched on the battery saver, if i'm not using wi-fi i turned it off, before i turn it off i use greenify. If i got 20 to 15% of battery use i will use it as my music while travelling home. Based on my battery experience using N4 5.1.1 .

  • Just face it. Battery life is not so good on N4. I get only 3 hours on screen time. Good thing is that charging is fast. 90 minutes to 100%.At least for me.

  • Great phone but will not connect to my Windows desktop....sooo annoying

  • Nexus -4 E-960 battery drain high on medium brightness

  • Thats good advice.

  • I tried the encryption feature and my phone went nuts, I had to reboot into recovery to format everything on my device. In your next OTA do well to fix that.

  • Use back button app.

  • Have been using Nexus 4 for the last three years. It is very good excepting slight mal-functioning like getting switched off, getting heated up. Off late last three weeks the three buttons at the bottom are not functioning permenantly. Need to turn horizontally to get access to the three buttons for operation. Tried to re boot after down loading the contacts. Still not working. Any similar problem faced by others & solution if any.

  • am also using nexus 4 past one years its gud to use ...now days battery problem and heating ..how to control tht problem pls give any suggestion now ..waiting for ur rly dude.......?

  • My rear camera is not working properly. After taking snap, the pic turns into black. Pls help me to solve that problem. I'm using it for 7 months. But till now except camera I never faced any other problem. And one thing, I cant able to use otg pendrive in my maco

  • If you have an OTG (on the go) cable (micro usb to usb female), you can plug in an ordinary usb mouse to the phone and continue using it.

  • The battery got un-calibrated. Use . You need root of course. Basically, the phone knows the battery's highest and lowest amount of charge. If the phone thinks that 900 mV is 0% of the battery, then it will say that it is at 0% while lasting for hours. This happened with my tablet once. It said it was at 0, then lasted for 18 hours!

  • yup, bought this phone like 2 months ago, dont regret a penny, and i got it for only 115 euro (16 gb model, too), i'd pay even more for it tbh

  • Have been using the phone for a year now. Battery is not very good.have to recharge 2/3 times in a day.Touch pad had to be replaced within one year of purchase. Sound volume not very good.

  • To be honest maybe i will buy a new phone after 3 years more and i will still use this phone right now, why? Coz it's still fluid, i can still play online games, browsing, chat, music, movies, and still responsive.

  • I have the nexus 4 for over 2.5 years now and it still runs like the first day! This was definitely the best you could ever get for the price.

  • Hi LG, Can you help me out with my previous comment about touch pad?

  • This happened with me as well. Now my mobile is not getting charged with chargers. I use powerbank to charge my mobile. :(

  • touch pad not working after one year and LG service centre is telling me to pay Rs.8000 for touch pad really aweful service.

  • I am using the Nexus 4 for almost two years now. I feel there is a software bug, which needs to be looked into. Two days back my phone went dead all of a sudden. I had used the phone about half an hour prior to this and the battery charge shown at that time was about 40%. I tried switching on many times, but it did not come on. I kept it for charging for a long time. But no improvement. Finally after 20 hours, it became on and the charge was shown as nil. I put it for charging. slowly the battery started charging. Why I suspect a software bug is that while observing the battery charge graph, I noticed that the battery charge dropped from about 40 % to zero all on a sudden around 3:30 PM and continued at zero charge even when the charger was on. The zero charge continued for about 20 hours when it started actually charging. Similar instance occurred with the same model which was purchased at the same time used by one of my relatives. Pls look into this and advise. Rehgards Xavier - 9895464251

  • its true..its heated and battery drainage problem

  • my phone never heat or bad battery...lols i like it

  • For your information, Nexus 7 is already released way before than the Nexus 6. But it's a tablet, so you can buy Nexus 6 :).

  • I am using this Nexus 4 for 1.5 yrs, It gets heated up too much while playing games. Battery life is too bad, and it often gets Switched off. After we keep it on charging it does not get on. My touch pad has also got changed in such short time. I am sad and I never expected that Nexus will result like this in such short span of usage.

  • Its over heating when I start to play the game

  • Does it handle games of 1.5 or 2 gb ?? Like fifa 15 ? And if it is almost full like 12 or 13 gb and has 2 gb or 1 gb empty does it work with fluidity ??

  • i'm using nexus 4 for 1.5 years and i never want to change my phone ... i use cm 12.1 with hellscore kernel and i have 28000 antutu bench with amazing lcd setting and amazing battery life ... i love nexus 4 for ever

  • Whats your problem bro?

  • Avoid like the plague - and I would argue other Nexus models too. Google "Nexus 4 shutting off" and you will see hundreds/thousand of customers whose phones are unusable as they constantly shut down despite high levels of battery. Completely unpredictable. Google and Nexus have failed to even reply on the issues let alone fix them. Completely unreliable and a shocking product from two supposedly reliable companies. I would not trust a goodle /LG product to fulfil even basic functionality - I.e. staying on!

  • have a problem with my Nexus 4 LG is there anyone how can help

  • I hate such comments. First of all, the nexus 4 isn't even 3 years old. And second, if the phone works as it should even after so many years, why would you buy a new one? I know the reason. Just for the sake of having a new phone. The thing is, phones haven't changed much in the last 2 or 3 years, and the phone we are talking about here is a Nexus, the king of software fluidity in the android world. And even talking about hardware, you can play every game there is on the Play store even after 3 years.

  • fell of my hands 10 cm drop,digitalizer is cracked and cant use it, only 20% of the screen i can, is there any way to use the phone without changing the screen, like 4 example use a mouse?

  • How do you gus still use a phone that was made 4 years ago?

  • hope it still get an official Android M :)

  • Good News Everyone Nexus 4 will get Android M this year! Search google

  • Yup. Same here. Using this phone from the past 2 and half years without a single problem and still the best out there. Hands down the best nexus till date.

  • NEXUS IS THE BEST ALL OVER THE WORLD i have nexus 4 and my friend have nexus 3 and i will keep nexus 4 in my house as second phone and i will buy nexus 6 but i wish they not release nexus 7 or i will be upset down for this

  • Tell me best tempered glass for my nuxus 4

  • Friends plz help me to find out how barometer works on nexus4? Through gsm arena I found that it has Barometer,what's the func of this and how to find that???

  • Truly the masterpiece of its era and still competing with the new models. It was so advanced that companies like samsung has now started providing wireless charging (dock charging), which was already there in this phone when it was released in 2011. The design of this phone still amazes me with clear black display and fits in my perfectly. Truly the best and im loving it with lolipop OS.

  • It is a very good phone. I am using it more than 2 years. No issues at all.

  • It is funny where I am the Nexus 4 is more expensive than Nexus 5. I guess because it is more difficult to find new compared to N5

  • What a Great piece of Creation.it has more value than selling price.Still itz features undefeatable.I remember i commented before on first days when i had My nexus was correct.I couldn't believe that how it was successfully working until today it is still working like i am using the fone for the first day in my life.i'm really say Thanks For the Nexus 4 Brand

  • It has no problems,I'm using it for calling And texting.Friends ask me why are u not taking the maximus use of it.The truth he has gone to his 3rd new phone by 2 1/2 years.but i'm using this phone when he haa brought the 3rd one.I'm proud to be a Nexus user.Thank u nexus.Still My OS is up to date,Now running 5.1.1,The phone is not showing any single trouble to me.May be itz body is old,But still it wins from the newly manufacturing phones.i think this has really built for the life time for the user.

  • The phone is fast as hell even after two and a half years of use thanks to the 2 GB RAM and the processor. but storage is a bit of an issue now as the phone has only built in storage of 16GB and no slot for memory card and does not support OTG. The battery life is not good from the starting only. Now if I make approx 2.5 hours of calls and keep the phone running on 3G network all the time it lasts for about 8 hours and thats about it. I think there is some issues with the device I am using or not the device does not support all the chargers and specially those car chargers. All in all if you can still find this device on sale its a good buy for its price.

  • does this device support USB Otg?

  • I've had the Nexus 4 for probably a couple of years now, and it's pretty good. It really depends what you are looking for in a phone. Pros: - Fast (for its time) - Hardy (I've never broke screen - friend has 3 times in last few months.. so who knows). Cons: - Camera is terrible (The actual specs are fine - but however the hardware is interfacing with the software is terrible. Flash barely works, etc) - Occasionally crashes with current Android releases.

  • I'd disagree about battery life being good, but everything else is amazing especially because I got it for 110 euro, it's a steal!!!

  • If a screen protector is applied check weather the proximity sensor is covered. If so change the screen protector. If you need to keep it, disable the turn sreen of option in call settings. But not advised

  • LG nexus 4 is simply the best phone.it has 2GB Ram,4.7 inch Display,Gorilla Glass 2.woow itz for a lowest price such a demanding phone.itz battery life is awesome as well as Storage is Good

  • Take off the proximity sensor option if you want the phone on while talking. But not only will the phone get hot on tour face, you will also have less battery life. Solution, click the power button quick to bring bk your screen

  • Worst phone ever, the day when I bought this phone its sensor didnt work. Later heating problem, power button problem and after 1 year the touch stopped working. Since it was out of warranty the service centre asked me to pay 5000 bucks. I would not recommend nexus as being a brand I invested 26000 and out of return I hardly got anything to use out of it.

  • Right . its a great phone .

  • I loved nexus but the recent updates have been driving me insane. Had to reboot and lost everything as my phone was stuck on the reloop screen for hours and no solution.

  • I buy my nexus 4 since 2012, and guess what for me this phone is still superb! From jelly bean to lollipop this phone still par the today's flagship phones, i will just change this phone if it's broken.

Just download adb tools and do a little tesearch for a tutorial how to install the official rom. No root is tequired for this. Just ask frieds like I did. It's kinda tricky because you have to run scripts from you computer. It wasn't east for me but I did it. Good luck and just read people opinions first about new firmware and bugs before upgrading.

  • I've had this phone for almost two years. It was fine until Lollipop, and the Lollipop upgrade. Since those two it has been unstable, apps freeze, the phone drops, and if at all possible it seems like Wi-Fi reception has gotten worse. *shrugs* I never thought the day would come but I'm pretty certain my next phone will be an iPhone.

  • Do you update nexus 4 to android 5.1 on computer or phone/setting/update ?

  • Its Works Great . More Faster And Stable

  • Using Android 5.1 Working Perfect .... Many functions improved . battery life is great !

  • Successfully updated to 5.1 but still battery is draining a lot for me ....what should I do to save battery for my nexus 4....

  • is that true???

  • so my phone is rooted, and I recently got official 5.1 update, i pressed download, and when it finshed and restarted i got question do I want to install unthrusted zip(i said yes) and then it says i possibly lost root. when its finished my phone is still on 5.0.1, any ideas on what could be problem?

  • Updating to 5.1 or 5.0.1

  • Dear Nexus 4 Users, Its has been learnt that there is a genuine manufacturing defect in our phones. Sooner or later most LG Nexus phones stumble upon a vaguely known hardware or software problem called Erratic Touchscreen/Ghost Touch/Soft Keys Unresponsiveness (especially those upgraded to Lollipop 5.0). You can look up online with the above respective keywords to learn about this huge hidden problem. It's sad that more and more nexus 4 users have been plagued by this software/hardware issue and yet there's no statements by Google or LG addressing this problem. This leads me to a petition created by frustrated nexus 4 users demanding Google and Lg address our concerns. So heres the link to it: change.org/en-IN/petitions/google-and-lg-please-­accept-quality-issues-in-nexus-series-of-mobile-­phones#share I encourage everyone to take a min to sign it, as this may be the only way our voices can be heard. We really hope that we get a solution in the next following weeks because we love this phone and I'd hate to have to give up on it.

  • Having same problem on my cell also

  • Hi is there anyone facing problem of soft keys ( menu , back , recent keys) after updating os to lollypop I am facing problem after same.

  • love it really updated to 5.0.1 no hang no problem

  • Lollipop is exlent

  • Ok this happens to me quite a lot. What you want to do is charge your phone from a wall plug not from your laptop (that's the 1st thing). Steps to follow are: 1) Plug your charger in a wall socket (doesn't matter if its a USB charger and you add your micro USB cable to it) 2)On your Nexus 4, maintain volume down key and power key for at least 5seconds (say 10 to be sure). Don't rush this and take your time. 3) While maintaining both keys pressed with one hand, insert the microUSB cable to charge your phone. 4) Keep the key pressed for another 10 seconds now with the charger. 5) Hopefully, you should get a screen that comes up with a little Android. You can select options with Up & Down volume keys and confirm with the power key. By default "START' should be selected so just press the power key to confirm. 6) Your phone should now work. Note: This sometimes works without using a wall socket and works from a laptop but it rarely does for me so I wouldn't charge it from a laptop to restart the phone. Once the phone is restarted you can charge anyway you like. This red light happens to me once a month but I got so used to the technique now that I barely loose time when doing it now. Hope this helps, B

  • my nexus 4 suddenly went black, i cant switch it on neither reboot it or even connect it to pc ! whenever i put it on charge a solid red light shows, help plz :/

  • Use volume control button to switch between vibration and sound mode, however even i didnt get a clue about how to switch to silent mode (non vibration/sound mode)

  • Any info about nexus 4 lollipop 5.1

  • Can't hear anything when I make a call. Can someone help?????

  • Buy OTG cable and then plug a computer mouse to the phone then use the mouse to unlock the phone copy all your data off it.

  • Change ur fon use microsoft lumia fons

  • Hey! If my Nexus screen is so broken that it doesn't recognise the code. And I still want all my files that are on this phone. How can I get access to the memory from my laptop to transfer the files??? (I have a new Galaxy S5 so if I can do it without changing the screen that would be awesome)

  • yes lollipop and more

  • Showing error while updating 5.1 version.....what might be the reason?pls help guys......

  • Does it goes to android 5.1

  • Its A Great Phone .m using it No Problem at all .

  • the soft keys(back,home,tasks) stop working after while of upgrading my phone to lollipop

  • If you had back up your photos and videos into google+, you can easily transfer them into your Nexus 4. but if u didnt back them up, sorry but I can't help u

  • For you guys complaining about Lollipop, Just know that 1) Its a newer OS designed for newer phones. 2) All new OS's try to add new features, most of witch take more processing power and don't work correctly. (for an example, look at Apple's IOS 8). This phone is now best for what its not designed to do. That is Ubuntu for phones (https://developer.ubuntu.com/en/start/ubuntu-fo­r-devices/installing-ubuntu-for-devices/). That is what I got this phone for and it is excellent.

  • I need help. I have lollipop 5.0.1., and in all sound mode i can't turn of vibration, i have looked everywhere and i don't know how to do it. Can anyone help me?

  • does any one face the RAM problem in nexus 4 lolipop?????and screen going dark while taking calls????plz reply

  • I used to think all this RAM is overkill but it is not. As with computers you can never have enough RAM. Still shame about latest Nexus it is a gigantic and shunned by many of us lot. I have held it but just ridiculous.

  • The Nexus 4, for the price, is an excellent phone. The finish is very impressive, it feels like a premium phone (more so than a Samsung Galaxy, but the Samsungs weigh less). It's powerful and responsive. However there are some corners that have been cut. The cameras aren't really up to much, they work but they are nothing special. The Phone isn't particularly clear when making phone calls (crackly). The display isn't as bright as the Samsungs, and sometimes can look a bit washed out under bright conditions (a very minor criticism compared to the others though). Also being a Nexus, whilst there is little crapware installed, some of the Google apps aren't as good as best of breed in the Google play store. Also whilst you get the latest updates before other manufacturers, you also get the rough edges as well (i.e. it can be quite buggy when a new major release comes out). Two such persistent bugs include: - Phone reboots quite often when taking pictures (in actual fact this is a kernel crash and in due course will corrupt your storage if it happens too often think computer blue screening). - Random switch offs - or rather refusing to wake up - AKA sleep of death (SOD). If you have experienced the above then both can be fixed by updating the kernel to the Franco kernel and then setting the minimum sleep frequency in the Franco kernel app. BTW just replacing the kernel will fix the camera bug (which Google aren't going to fix as they are introducing a new Camera API... at some point). If you're technical and like to tinker or don't mind the odd rough edges then go for it. Otherwise I'd go for a Samsung S4 - possibly with a Cyanogen Mod firmware. I can't see myself getting another Nexus personally.

  • What you broke is the charging module. It can be easily replaced even by yourself with a minimum of equipment, I can help you with a step by step tutorial. All you need is to buy a charging module. Add me on fb Greeneyes Man.

  • I am using this till Sammy s6 comes out and its super smartphone..Along with all the other Nexuses they are special except for the latest Nexus 6,what happened?. Anyway if Sammy s6 not good going to source second hand Nexus 5 till the Nexus 5 second generation comes out made by Huawei.

  • It's a bloody good phone if u play decent games and at the same time do not want a very big phone.. serves well for daily use and given decent RAM, supports the latest OS which is the star feature.

  • I finally killed mine by trying to change the battery, which broke a connector that cannot be fixed by mortal men. But it was a good daily phone that I'd been using since they first came out. Very satisfied while it served me.

  • i give u thumb u

  • This phone has remained my daily driver for two years. Great phone still today and will probably use it until it dies. Only two things that would have made this phone better. 1) better battery life, 2) better Camera.

  • Your phone was even better than iphone6 before you upgraded your android. Iphone 6 is worse than galaxy s3

  • Nexus 4 is awsm smartphone recently i update to lolipop now my smartphone better than iphone 6 i love it

  • it is a great phone, powerfull and have good stock android. Only problem is the restart when using camera.

  • i agree with u

  • does nexux 4 support otg?

  • install nexus driver in laptop

  • I am unable to copy photos, videos etc. from my phone to my laptop. please guide me to do the same

  • I was using since fron one year the issue is my phone is going to automatic switch off even it has full charge and it will not charge .....it is like a doll for ten to twelve hours after it will start

  • Dude from which ebay(seller) you have purchased the mobile ,please mention, I want to it man.

  • I had the same problem. I read to shut it down and do a soft restart and it was fixed.

  • I had the same problem. I read that you should shut it down and do a soft reboot and it took care of the problem

  • Had my Nexus 4 for about a year and half now! The hardware is comparable to today's higher-end mid range phones, despite the fact that it was released almost 3 years ago. Only issue that I have experienced since the day I purchased up until now is that the phone reboots itself frequently when using anything involving the camera (snapchat, taking pictures, etc.) Another (small) issue is that my phone has a lot of scratches, even with very good treatment. But I guess that's what screen protectors are for. All in all, still a great buy if you want a good performing, nice looking, and most importantly affordable smartphone.

  • I have had this phone new since august. From day one I had issues with it. I ignored them and dealt with it as best as I could until 2 weeks ago when I could no longer receive calls due to the screen blacking out and microphone no longer working at all. The phone began to buzz uncontrollably and shut itself down no matter how much battery I had left. When working the phone itself is great and perfect for what I have required it for. Therefore I hope that LG repair centre is able to restore it to the state it should have been in from the start. Although the phone is prone to faults and has caused some trouble all in all its still a good phone and I don't regret buying it.

  • this is the worst phone ever DO NOT GET IT!!! The nexus 4 is so bad because it fucking turns of and it wont turn back on for a few hours.

  • I have Nokia lumia 900 want to with it

  • Just too superb. A masterpiece..!!

  • A few months ago my phone dosnt function its touch, most of the time i put it on my pocket, everytime i use it might be stucked

  • They will send you message and you will agree and done

  • my nexus ph touch is damage .want to change

  • It is not as fragile as most people say. I've dropped it multiple times from 45cm or so and it hasn't broken and has no flaws in it's hardware or software. It depends on your lock, and how it falls down. I've got the newest version of android and there are no sudden shutdowns or restarts, and the battery is great. Honestly an awesome phone, I suggest you check it out

  • Same here. Spuriously though.

  • how do i change my pattern cracked my screen

  • i have the same situation it turns off and i turn it on and before it can completely reboot it cuts off

  • Don't upgrade the OS to Lollipop cause after that phone will hang and reboot abruptly.

  • Phones ok but very fragile, knocked it off 45cm coffee table onto slate floor and cracked the digitiser...$150 later.

  • Had Nexus 4 for 18 months and best phone I ever had by miles. Now since latest updates annoyingly shuts itself down randomly, which makes me consider a new phone. But nothing much out there appeals so hope they fix the bugs and I get another year of use. For the low purchase price the key positives for me are the wireless charging, calendar feature which Apple doesn't offer, size is just right, not too big not too small, responsiveness & performance still very good, battery life decent. New Nexus 5 & 6 are larger and that is not so convenient for most people - this fits nicely in a pocket. Message is just fix the bugs, maybe make updates optional, or I must sadly look elsewhere....

  • Just now got update of android lollipop 5.0.1

  • I forgot about camera its awesome and its 10/10

  • Got it day before yesterday just for Rs.13000 on eBay.in + freebies for 2000(mobile case + scratch guard +powerbank) Reasons for buying # On time updates which Sony never does even for Sony z3 or z2. # I heared positive reviews more than negative reviews(haters of nexus). # it has been released in 2012 but has the features more than this genration of mobiles(most important software support) # They said lollipop is not nice but I believe Google will release bug fixing updates soon # I used mobile like moto x(good),moto g 2nd gen(nice),Sony xperia c3(very bad),Sony xperia sp(good but software support is waste),Samsung galaxy s4(poor its an heater),Samsung galaxy s5(best of all),iphone 5(too small and battery backup is no so good but performance and software support is excellent than galaxy s5),Sony xperia c(very good),samsung galaxy y(masterpiece) In my two days use of Nexus 4 Battery 8/10 Performance 9/10 Sound 9/10 Software support 10/10 Internet speed 10/10 Display 9/10 Quality 10/10 Over all better than every mobile I have used so far.10/10 I love it For the price of Rs.13000 its definitely a masterpiece

  • Keep away from this phone. Have it for a year and a half now, since the lollipop software was installed is full of bugs! Already tried reseting it, still full of bugs: won't connect to mobile network, nor the blutooth and switches itself off. Google does not release any patches to resolve these problems. Awful! I'm extremely unhappy with this phone and these bugs are common with nexus users, not only nexus 4.

  • awesome phone all working fine superb speed

  • I've been using this phone for 2 years, an excellent phone from Google and LG. Everything is good until now. Battery is good because of Android 5.0 update. Dont hesitate to buy this phone... :)

Besides that...never had any problem. It is seriously a great phone! The picture quality is not the best, but it is not the worts compared to other smartphones.

  • mine upgraded to 5.0.1 from Turkey yesterday 31.12.2014, happy new year

  • I've been using my Nexus 4 since 2013 November, bought it for $249 from google play when they announced the Nexus 5. It's been upgraded to the the Lollipop 5.0.1. I never had a single trouble with this phone or after the upgrades. All the upgrades are pushed on time from Google as its available and Its working solid, I am using it for my work and so I have hard cover from Seidio, drop the phone few times no damage whatsoever. I love this phone hoping to keep it for few more years. Not going to buy Nexus 6 as its not worth the price.

  • Got 5.0.1 about a month ago... it is slower and more unstable than 4.4.4. I had problems with Wi-Fi. It keep disconnecting and reconecting, sometimes the screen is unresponsive and god I hate that my exchange profile is on gmail! the search engine does not work with it! along that it is a great phone and I love it! p.s.

  • Hi, did somebody else noticed that after the lollipop update, when you change your wallpaper with some custom one from the photos (not the built-in ones) the wallpaper doesn't show full on the lock screen, it has a black bar on the bottom where the buttons are..but if you choose one of the built ones, the wallpaper is full on the lockscreen? Thanks

I love my nexus 4 more than ever now. Thank u google for releasing the lollipop upgrade.

  • hello!! what you think about nexus 4 ? i would like to buy one, but i hesitate :(

  • If you know a little bit of software developing it's pretty straight forward. Google released the images for Android 5 for Nexus 4 , 5, 7, etc few weeks ago. You can get the images from and follow the instructions. You just need to install Eclipse for Android and then use Android Debug Bridge tool (adb) - will be installed with eclipse-, then in a terminal (type cmd.exe in run menu in Windows). You can flush your device with new image. You need to backup your data first before flushing your Nexus device because it wipes out the Memory. sometime adb.exe gets crashed, then you may need to try a couple of old images first if you are updating from 4.2.2 for Nexus 4 or earlier for Nexus 7.

  • Keep lagging on 5.0 ... How is this possible?? Update sucks

  • Seriously, does anybody actually have an idea to why/how this phone got Lollipop? It's update window should be only 18 months long, but it still got the update after 2 years! If anybody has an idea, please tell me because I am planning to buy a Nexus 5 but not sure if it'll get the next years's major update. I know I can flash a custom ROM, but I like stock Android more, so if Nexus 5 will get the next year's major update then it'll be brilliant.

  • yes even i am also facing the same problem...

  • if you rooted it then patched the update,this is what happens. you lose your data. sry, most sites with that tutrorial mention that. made the same mistake, im afraid its irreversible dude. but you can stillcall and text. its because you updated you verion, but you didnt patch your data, the data you have for that phone isnt meant for the flashed version you have, sry dude.

  • Hi all, after upgrading to 5.0 my mobile Internet not working its just shows connected but won't work very slow,but wifi works smooth I don't know what to do please help I'm using tata Docomo... Do any 1 feels same.

  • Yeah derz a bug f battery drainin'... in next update may b 5.0.1 dat bug will be removed

  • Nexus 5

  • You are joking right?

  • try factory rest and wipe cache partition

  • under advanced wifi: set scanning always available to off set keep wifi on during sleep to only when plugged in under play store settings: set Auto-update apps over wifi only under display: set sleep to something less than 5 minutes Under location: set mode to device only instead of high accuracy (high accuracy is really only useful in dense urban areas with tall buildings) Under battery: Use the battery monitor to look at battery consumption, some apps don't work well with lollipop yet You could look at advanced things like undervolting if you really really really need more battery life, but be aware there are issues with this.

  • every app is crashing for some reason* xD

  • While using 3G service phone battery exhausted and phone got heated, any body reply why this happened. Phone working normally on wi fi.

  • I'm from philippines my xperia z1s(t mobile ver.) fell and broke it screen..i was very disappointed to the point of desperately acquiring a nexus 5 or nexus 4..and to a surprise a local phone store sells the nexus 4 16gb for only 8,900 philippine peso brand new as a clearance sale..its about 200 usd..is it a good deal??..i'll be possibly getting that baby within 24 hours! :)

  • My phone-LG Nexus 4- now it is on 4.4 android. recently system alert me to upgrade to 4.4.2 (system is ready download) that's why it tell me to restart and install. but after I pressed restart and install, it restart the phone and rebooted, but on a half of progressing I show error. So anybody can explain me, what happened? and what should I do next?

  • This is surprisingly a nice little phone, but then it does have a nice quad-core, 2 Gb RAM, etc. Pros: Noticeably fast, loads games/apps and runs them pretty quick. Feels like a nice solid construction and doesn't feel like cheap plastic. Nice clear and sharp high resolution display even in sunlight. NFC and BT works as it is expected. Cons: Can't install a micro-SD for more storage. Speaker volume is horribly low so makes it tough for handsfree calling when driving. Camera vids and pics are horribly blah. Micro-USB jack f*cked up (thankfully still under warranty) and I was told by the place where I bought it that they are seeing this happen regularly with this phone. I've been reasonably lucky other than having my micro-USB jack f*cking up. I've read that some people have problems with crashes and corruption (obvious motherboard/hardware defects), cracks and so on. I have a screen protector and rubber bumper for my device...gotta protect it as I've ruined/killed other cell phones before. I will be happy to upgrade to the N6 soon, and keep this rock solid reliable cell phone as a back up. Ain't no one gonna inherit this device from me. They'll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands.

  • Because unlike you, others have earphones they can use to use it.

  • try deleting cache

  • after updating google camera it crashed many time. what to do?

  • why the hell is for 3.5mm jack when you do not have earphones in the box???

  • google still cooking the Android 5.0 for mako. so that's why u can't upgrade it. but u can try android 5.0 preview for ur N4. just google it.

  • 4.4.4 kitkat upgraded, but can't upgrade to lolipop 5.0. The cell phone is saying that it is already updated. please help me to find out

  • how do you update the nexus 4 to android kitkat?

  • Can anybody tell me that samsung gear fit working with this device(Nexus 4) or not. Reply waiting...........:)

  • true.

  • Nexus 4 is cool.... but Nexus 5 is more coooool looking great performance.. I love this two phone. my best is nexus 4 because phone is it

  • For me n5 was a perfect devices,no crashing no lagging,smooth and efficient!

  • Nexus line ends with 5. 6 is a phablet.

  • Battery wise I am experiencing something similar in my E975 after flashing the latest Nexus 4 bootloader. (So I believe it's all due to the bootloader). As for your perspiration problem see a dermatologist. As for the lack of SD card, you've already reached the proper conclusion.

  • Love to know how many Nexus 4 updaters buy 5 instead of 6..They have totally ruined the Nexus line with the 6 its huge.

  • Any one update to 4.4.3 with no issues? Coze I try once and have a crashed to my phone, thank u

  • Upgradable to android 5.0 lollipop.

  • Yeah hope so...!:D dis will b d last update of android L in nexus 4

  • Yeah same problem of camera crashin'...so i simply uninstalled the updates of google camera...

  • Nexus 4 to get Lollipop,,its at bottom of article.

  • While calling, the ear speaker works sometimes and again stops working. No issue with loud speaker though.what's the prob with this set?

  • After using it for 1.5 year... its GREAT !! Best phone i ever had !

  • So I THOUGHT I understood the process in which batteries work, but apparently I'm all wrong. If my phone is on 60% battery at night and I turn it OFF when I sleep, I will turn it ON in the morning and suddenly it's on 10%. What the hell is that. If I charge my phone in my car and it's on 10% and it says "connected" when I get to my destination and take my phone out it's on 4%. On top of that, I don't know what the screen is made out of but as soon as I use it I get all sweaty over it and it refuses to function. Never had a problem with previous touchscreens. Also, very disappointed that there is no SD card, but that's my mistake because I should've read that up before reading it. All in all, this is my least favourite Android phone I've gotten to date (In the past I've had Galaxy 2, Desire, Milestone 2 and Motorola Pro)

  • I am using this phone past nine months.now a days the loud speaker is not workings if i restart the phone then it is ok.what will be the issue?please advise.

  • Same problem here.after using the phone for about 18 months the back,home and recent apps button isn't working. The repair cost is 6500. Any solutions.

  • same problem for me also plz any solution

  • Try master reset. If not updated try 4.4.4 kitkat update. does not seem to be a hardware problem. Download may have infected it with virus.

  • I have bought Google Nexus 4 ( Brand New)from US. Its operation and option id so good. But unfortunately within one year the back button, home button other button is not working. I am very shocked that "Google Nexus" is very renown name I depend on the name that's why I bought it and the name Nexus 4 deceive with me.

  • my photo sphere don't work,after taking the photos itt processed but in half a way its stop processing and seddenly camera stops and comes to home screen.what can I do? plz help!

  • 33 hours battery time at 100%, good luck with your plastic fantastic Samsung. It will take them till 2020 with such a battery to make it last that long. Only reason they last about 33 hours is the battery is twice the size

  • That's a risk you run buying 2nd hand. Don't blame the phone, blame the one you got it from

  • Question should be does India have LTE/4G. It works across the globe Q is, is it worth it, can the network provide that kind of speed? If yes go for it, if no why bother.

  • It's been older than 6 months, sales stopped around October 2013

  • You have to turn it one before you can make a call you know. Button is on the right hand side or look online for the manual and read it.

  • Yes a long time ago

  • Over here it would be 2nd hand or somebody must have a lot in stock. New once not for sale anymore. So the answer should be "no".

  • Why, the 4 is a great device. Upgrading to a 5 is nice but if you own a 4 there is no real need as it is still a great device than can manage for at least the end of 2015. The only thing soon that could make it look a little like an old phone might be the Nexus X later in the year but that's also wait and see.

  • Google suggested the 4 and 7 would be upgraded. The 4 is at the end of the 2 years, the 7 is over it. So looks like even the 2 yrs is not as hard as it sounds. But let's wait and see later in October.

  • As in speed the Nexus 1.4 GHz and 2GB versus the G 1.2 GHz vs 1GB. As I n battery life, have the Nexus lasting at full charge 33 hrs, but the G might just be better. Should you like to know more about the specs, check GSMArena they are 95% correct. The Nexus for runs Android 4.4.4 also but what's the difference

  • Yes to the first and no to the second question. It's even faster opening apps than the Galaxy S5, tested it with a colleagues S5 versus my let's be honest older Nexus 4 which is a great device to hold.

  • Synchronise via the Photos app from Google. Open your account at your PC, Google+ photos is the place you can download them from. Or since you can connect to them in the cloud anyhow, you can always see them on your PC. Since pictures take a few MB, this also helps to keep your PC up to speed

  • Screen problem. I used it for one year, after that alien touches started.

  • google the word 'troll' and you'll find urself there

  • terrible phone....better to avoid ....google(nexus 4 touchscreen issues n c for urself)...

  • I have a problem. There is this continuous disturbance during the call. I have bought it few months back. Please help.

  • Red light usually means deep discharge/dead battery

  • 1. Remove the case off the Nexus 4. (Edit: If you don't have a case or bumper on your Nexus 4, you can ignore this step.) 2. Hold down the power and volume down buttons. 3. Insert the USB charging cable into the Nexus 4 while continuing to hold down the power and volume down buttons. After a few seconds, the screen will display a green android and a menu of options. Using the volume up and down buttons, select the option to Start, then press the power button to confirm selection. It should display the home screen

  • Can you help me guys? I cant turn on my Nexus 4 even if its fully charged, and when i try to charge to make my nexus 4 boot up, all i see is a red notification light below!

  • I don't think someone forced you to buy the 8GB version, or maybe you've got a double personality and you woke up with it in your pocket. Don't you check a product's specs before buy it? Are you blind or deaf? Just asking. The phone is awesome, one of the best at its price.

  • recently i bought nexus 4 8gb.....no expandable memory slot...no otg support...only 5gb storage to use...WTF i will do with this mobile...useless mobile

  • I got my nexus exactly a year ago and it's still working like a charm. It is a lovely phone that still last two full days on one full charge with average usage. I check email, have wifi on all the time, data is mostly off, screen on 1/3 brightness, and text a lot. Occasional calls.

  • I have been using nexus 4 now over a period of 10 months but i can say it has more cons then pro. CONS - the battery itself is a problem, its jst goes nt more than 3 hrs. the signal reception is worst in dese mobile its jst goes even when ur in full signal area. the signal gets lost if battery goes down below 80%. AFTER UPDATING to 4.4 a new problem is raised while using the camera if you switch on the flash the mobile jst gets off. it happens on regular basis. pros - one of best cpu n ram....playing games is absolutely fav experience... controls are gr8... to make nexus is gr8 series google need serious work on battery and also signal reception.

  • Battery is draining fast...it is the only problem of my nexus 4

  • Root it, and change cpu governour!

  • Hi, I've been using nexus 4 for almost a year now..at first, i do have some trouble with overheating and stuff. But now, after I've used it for about 3 months and get a hang around it..i think that this is the best android phone so far. What attract me the most is the pure android experience! Seriously, if you have tried g.nexus, and feel how simple and slick it is. You won't want to have any another phone. I'm so happy with my phone and will definitely buy another nexus phone..what do u think about nexus 6? XD

  • Hi guys, I bought Nexus 4 last June'13. The problem is that it gets heated up so much that i cannot hold it in my hands even when normal browsing. I dont play games on this. With skype call on 3G, gets heated up also. On WiFi, doesnt. Sometimes, when it is in pocket, suddenly it heats up. Even rebooting, doesnt help. I googled this problem and found that LG has forgotten to put a heat sink over the processor. Gradually, due to this heat, battery life also goes down. I am experiencing this also.

  • One of the best phones, I ever had, I've never faced any problems. Phone is fast and with Kitkat it'z just awesome..:-)

Within six months power button of my phone stopped working because the button quality was not good.It's been just one year now that i am facing flickering, blackout issues in my phone .I am not able to see anything on my phone . I will be giving this phone in service centre tomorrow but i would never ever suggest anyone to go for Nexus.

  • hi...i may help with the full screen(transparent status bar and navigation bar) you have two options. 1.. update your phone to 4.4.2 kitkat. the second is thst you root your phone, go to xda and download xposed installer..open, install the framework under modules... reboot then under downloads search for xblast tools or gravity box. you have options to make both transparent.. hex code is #00000000 for transparency.. i hope this helps

  • Hey if your nexus 4 is running on kitkat 4.4+ then download google now launcher and you are done. Both status bar and navigation bar will become translucent. Try it.

  • hi there i experienced the same problem,its i think a software issue try formatting the phone and start from scratch good luck

  • 1)Please check if Location is OFF in settings. 2)Please check if Printing is off in settings. It always searches for the printer. 3)Please close all the unnecessary sync with accounts. Sometimes sync causes error and your phone tries to sync all the time, which makes phone hot.

  • Hey, I just bought Nexus 4 and noticed that minor dots (may be pixels) are appearing all aver the screen in regular pattern when screen is on and it is more visible when on bright and white screen.

Any1 with this issue?

  • Has anyone got android 4.4.3 OTA update. All over the internet updates about Nexus 5/7, nothing on Nexus 4. I know we can do it manually, but looking for OTA update.

  • I have been using this phone for almost a year. I have an iphone4 also, but when started using this, iphone4 is just way behind in terms of opening apps even with my wife's iphone5 this is way better. Only downfall of this unit is the battery life. It can only last for less than a day when using 3g connection and average web browsing. After that i need to charge the unit again but over all with its price range and the specs, my money in s worth it. Planning to upgrade between, nexus5, oneoplus one, nokia lumia1520 and lg g2 units.

  • Id used nexus 4 for 2 years but I did not encountered any error about kitkat and for me this is the fast phone rather than galaxy s4 no lag during games and any apps

  • 4 months and I have to say: never thought Google would disappoint me so badly (I'm a Google Fan Boy and I would never recommend Nexus 4 to anyone). Here is my view of this phone: - Do not upgrade for Android KitKat, your battery will last 6h at most on a stand-by with Wifi on. - I was obligated to downgrade from KitKat because the power button stopped working and to fix it, I had to hold it down for 15 seconds to force reboot everyday (yes, everyday). - After I downgraded, the phone was a lot more pleasant, but in last than 2 weeks usage, the camera stopped working properly; now when I take picture, the camera freezes and takes 2 to 3 seconds to complete the task. - This week my mobile wifi connection stopped working. I've tried 3 different places with wifi connection (home, girlfriend's home and work place). The wifi would connect normally, but neither website nor google maps would work. The problem cease to exist after a week and I have no idea why. - Windows computers no longer recognize my phone as a media device. I've tried changing the USB configuration at Storage Information, tried turning on USB Debugging, etc, etc. Just can't access my phone storage through a computer. - The back of the phone is made of weak glass. When I bought it, I didn't know there was a skin that could be placed at the back of it to prevent it from breaking. The first fall my phone took was about 15 inches and it landed on it's back. Glass broke. I migrated from Sony Ericsson Sk17i (Mini Pro) to this phone. Huge price leap and huge hardware configuration. Turns out, I think Android 2.3 was just less buggy than the new versions. Every now and then the OS bugs something.

  • Does nexus 4 support usb on the go feature after rooting?

  • this phone is very nice ...i m using this phone ..

  • It should be your screen protector covering the sensor. Get a one with a cutout for the sensor area.

  • Need to sell the Nexus 4 and get Lumia 1520 :)

  • hello guys i just want to give opinions..dont give such a crappy comments about the phone such as lags while playing games..that is minor problems..not a major problems..watch youtube u will see what nexus 4 capable of..the phone gets hot is because the processor is working..no phone will cool down whenever it is running..

  • Guys, am having a problem with the sensor, anytime i receive a call the screen goes off, even if i pass my finger over the sensor it doesn't respond. if there is any help let me know. thnx

  • is very fragile and has a manufacturer's defect that causes it to overheat. also if you buy the handset insurance they will charge you a deductible that is equal to the independent price of fixing the device. once the screen is damaged it probably won't work at all. a large percentage of people who bought this phone cracked the display within the first month. i have never broken a phone in my life, and had a hard protective case on it, yet a small drop (less than a foot) cracked the display and rendered it completely unuseable- one crack from lefthand upper corner to righthand upper corner.

  • Help me guys recently i brought nexus 4 its in official kitkat 4.4.2 . wheny i played subwey suffer or templerun 2 and shadowgun dead zone ,asphlat8 all these games are slightly lags in my nexus 4 what the hell is it has quad core and 2gb ram the normal games and high games are lags in this why what should i do sale my phone ?

  • Seriously good phone. Seriously fragile. Be careful.

  • i bought this phone 1 month ago after bricking my atrix 2 and it took my experience with android phones on different level. seriously guys performance, battery life, screen quality, voice quality over a call, playing heavy games and all this with latest kitkat 4.4.2 this phone handles very well. didn't find single lag..This phone is a Beast..

  • Great phone. Have it for almost an year now and all applications work great ( games too ). Didn't have a problem with it, dropped it a few times ( from my pocket ) and it still works. Great design, great screen sensitivity, very good camera. - : doesn't come with a headset :) It's a best deal IMO

  • A great phone. Have been using it for last 1 year now. Hardy hangs... No performance lags. Good photos & a decent battery life (lasts 1 day). The only flaw is the glassy back it has for which you can buy a protector. So, I would definitely recommend this to ppl thinking of buying this one!

  • At 23k get Grand 2 .Simple

  • Amazing in a simple sense... please produce more... one hell of a set... Only after upgrading to kitkat a message used to come (no apn specified on device) and thus battery used to drain in half an hour, but after factory reset, its fine... Also after upgrading SKYPE crashes every 2 to 3 minutes... really irritating...

  • Kitkat 4.4.2 is available for nexus 4.4.2

  • In 16gb variant 16gb is available for user

  • Hey. Please help me. Problem- after entering screen unlock code (not PIN) - first sight that opens are intenet browser with google. Where i should look and what settings should i change to romowe it. Model:Nexus 4. Thanks in advice.

  • I want to know..What are the best roms for Android kitkat 4 for Nexus 4?

  • only 8,16gb memory? Damn! Compare galaxy s3 LTE (i9305) with this.

  • Forgive me for my languange, but only an idiot can put the desire 500 infront of a Nrxus 4. The desire 500 is a good midranger( rven quite good i must say) but it cant step on the lil finger of the nexus. Better display, better cpu, better gpu, better chipset, better RAM... Simply nexus is better than the desire 500. Even the galaxy nexus is better choice.

  • HTC desire 500. .. I m facing repeated rebooting issue with this phone

  • best you can get for that price,i m using it since 1yr absolutely no problems only limitations with memory.

  • Not that good. In strong usage less than a day. On normal, a day. My record is two days, but with almost no usage. Only calls

  • hows battery ?

  • Loool... Where do u live dud ? Cuz, here in Bulgaria, i can find almost everythin that i need for my Nexus 4. From cases and protectors to qi wireless charger. And what's that stuff bout the back glass breaks in days/weeks? Rofl.. if you're droppin your phone every single day, then yea.. probably. Althought i must say, it can scratch rly easy. For two months my back is rly kinda scratched just from being in my pocket. The same goes for the restart just press power + volume up for like 5 seconds and the phone will restart. The only minus is realy that there is no sd card extension, but 16 GB is more than enough for me. With the huge amount of cloud storages i dont think it's that so bad. Once again i must say that i'm very very very pleased with my Nexus. I dont regret my choice at all, of course nowadays there are better phones that one can buy, but the price-specifications is still amazing, even in 2014.

  • Use a compass & a map.

  • Absolutely positively love this phone buy asap.

  • Do nexus 4 have a trucker???i want to install myn

  • any issues encountered? I am planning to buy one..tnx!

  • I have Nexus 4 for six months now. I use it all the day and I can say the following: Good: 1- Affordable price 2- Good Screen size 3- Good specifications 4- General good design 5- Regular Google android updates (like the KitKat update) Against: 1- The glass back is not good. It usually breaks into pieces within few days/weeks. You have to be very careful otherwise you will have to buy a back replacement. 2- Fixed �black� background will drive you crazy and strain your eyes. There is no option to change it unless you install third party apps such as launchers (which usually come with ads and annoying privacy things, etc). 3- No restart button. You have to switch it off then go to the key again to start it. I had Galaxy s 3 in the past and I really miss this feature here in Nexus 4. 4- No microSD slot. 5- Non-removable battery. 6- Hard to find accessories (screen protector, cover, case, etc). Many shops do not sell Nexus 4 and many staff there do not care about it!. Everything is available for iPhone and galaxy while nexus almost does not exit.

  • Press power button and volume up button for 8-10 seconds, your phone will restart.

  • Poor Interface still updating to kitkat 4.4.2 Poor screen resolution No restart option for such high end mobile

  • Will try it is screen protector can cause this may be

  • Are you accidentally covering the sensor on the top left corner of your phone with something ?...when a call is in progress...the screen blacks out when something obstricts this sensor as a mechanism to save power. Could this be what is happening with you ?. Try cleaning up any dust on your phone.

  • I'm using it for 2 months now, and I'm more than happy with my Nexus. With the 4.4.2 update and Nexus 5 Launcher it works extremely fast and smooth. I've never had a single second of lagging. Althought the camera is a lil bit disappointing, but for me it's not that much of a problem. The main disadvantage of the device is the not very good battery life. I have to charge it every day if i use it a lot. On normal usage it could last a day and a half, but it's still not much. Every1 who is considering buyin this phone, my advice is - go for it ! You wont regret your choice. However if you can afford Nexus 5 i guess you should go for it. But the Nexus 4 is still an awesome device.

  • This happened to Mine about a month ago. Son in law said remove screen protector as it is interfering with the screen. So I pulled it off and fault was gone. No I didn't believe it either, but it worked.

  • using for last 3 month..not a single scratch but suddenly bottom soft navigation is not working in portrait mode but working in landscape�got no support from any forum even from product forum

  • After upgrade my lg nxus to 4.2.. It start unusual behavior like making a call the screen gone black So I can't cancell the call Can any one tell me what i do

  • GPS not working what should I do ??

  • Awesome phone.... Go get it... U will never regret...

  • Are you serious? Of course nexus 4.

  • plz change your file extension (.apk)using any file manger

  • Nexus 4 or HTC desire 500?

  • Nexus 4 is better very good mobile excellent

  • Not true. It charges only 2 hours, and can last up to 1-3 days, depending on usage. Something is wrong with your charger.

  • best handset at this price .

  • Go for lg nexus 4..u wont regret it..its far better than sp..

  • If ur own is on android 4.2 then its a general thing .my phone is not a nexus but it also uses four hours to charge and last around 12hours too

  • yes.

  • Pro - very good display - the battery is ok - no freeze, no lag, i have it for 6 month now and i never restarted - very stable - you can update the OS at Android 4.4 (KitKat) Against - no SD card (you can use only internal memory 8Gb or 16Gb) - hard to put your own ringtones - the camera isn`t that great

  • Which is better.nexus 4,htc desire 601,huwaei p6,or lumia 920

  • Should I get this phone? I really like it! Is it better than Xperia SP?

  • Awesome phone Go for it. my phone never lagged even for a second

  • hi guys i wanna buy nexux 4 is it a good phone and worth buying it ?

  • hai am using dis mble 4rm 8 months no doubt to say its great piece smooth nd fast nd no lagging..bt poor camera quality. mobile getting over heated while using continuously

  • Love my phone but is there a way I can see if my text messages were read by the person I'm texting

  • worth buying.......NEXUS series alwz rockz

  • The back cover can be easily opened by unscrewing 2 screws at the bottom, and then prying it. Disconnect the flex cables and you're good to go.

  • I have been using this phone for a year. So far this is the best phone I ever had compare to S3, lg optimus 4x, and iPhone 4s (I owned all).it is fast and stable (trust me never hang even once through the year).. But the camera performance really poor. You can update the camera by using camera360 and it become great. The only thing annoy me is the battery.. Only can last 12 hours max and it took 4 hours to charge full.. Geezzzz because of non removable battery, it can't be replaced unless you bring it to service center. Memory is another problem, 16 GB is barely enough for songs, images and also apps...

  • guys i have a probelm, when i go to play store and want to download something it says ERROR WHILE RETRIEVING INFORMATION FROM SERVER? what can i do? thanks in advance

  • You don't get translucent bars with jelly bean. If you want them, then you should upgrade to kitkat.

  • Via blue what???? This is the 21st century not the 1990's! Suggest if your other phone is an android to go to the play store. If not it won't work, other programming language.

  • But there's no download link anywhere for sailfish os for nexus 4 :-\

  • Jolla Ports Sailfish OS To Nexus 4 //try this supercool OS

  • I have the phone for a year now and I'm very happy with it. I have Android 4.4.2 and the Nexus 5 launcher (with voice command "OK Google" available in any home screen) and it works great. No lag in any app, the camera works great.

  • How is your ZL working...I am also planning to buy it...So what's your kind suggetion..?? @Ducky :)

  • i asked for nexus 4, because i bought him couple of weeks ago, phone is fantastic, he works rly nice and smooth on 4.4.2, but im interesanted will google relise update on 5.0 klp, thanks anyway :)

  • i have nexus 4 and its pretty cool, no lags, nothing, with update 4.4.2 works fine but im not amuzed with camera... and i also hope that he will get update on 5.0 klp,he could handle him easly :)

  • I have problem with my mobile that I have not receiving apps while transfering from others phone via blutooth ,if you know about this please suggest me....

  • Well, most say that Nexus 4 has better calling quality than Nexus 5. But as such, there isn't any big differences....same speed no lags. Nexus 5 only has an upgrade to camera and design. Nexus 4 with Kitkat version is pretty cool. Your choice :)

  • Google's next iteration, Android 5.0 Key Lime Pie will be released in late October and will come optimized for older phones" nexus 3 work with android 442, so i think nexus 5 work fine with android 5 :)

  • will he get update on 5.0 klp thanks in advance :)

  • im using this device about 1 month, i instaled fifa 14, nfs mw, gta sa, asphalt 8 ab and other cool games and phone is working rly nice without hanging amd laging,he automaticly update to 4.4.2 , but im interesanted will he get update on 5.0 klp thank you, all recomends for this phone, trust me u will not be disapointed :) and sorry if my english is bad.

  • hi, i want to buy this phon nexus 4, i want to know if LG Nexus 4 is always good phone and supported by google for more time or i choose nexus 5 ?

  • hy all, i've just got this phone and i was wondering how can i delete a homescreen?

  • Windows mobile sucks.If you are open minded choose Android with lots of free programs.

  • i want to by this phone this week , where u think guys ?

  • lol... nexus, always ! Better in simply... EVERYTHING ! P.S. - Nexus 4 user.

  • My Htc One xl gets 16900 anTuTu benchmark dual core cpu - 1 G ram!

  • Nexus 4 or xcover2?

  • dont buy this phone otherwise u'll suffer from hanging problem . not so good in look ,

  • I will buy Lumia 920 ,thank you for advices :) Ducky

  • I if you want android then go for LG- nexus-4 otherwise 920 is better in some aspects Lumia-920 over nexus Pros: 1. +Windows OS 2. +Better Camera(Carl Zeiss, better in low light) 3. +Better Screen( Pure Motion, ClearBlack Display ) 4. +Wireless Charging 5. +4G Network 6. +Dolby Sound Enhancement 7. +Enough Storage(32GB), but no SD card 8. +FM Radio (Nexus Does not have radio) 9. +Wireless Charging 10.+the Design :) Cons: 1. -No Android OS :P LG Nexus vs Lumia-920 Pros: 1. +Android OS 2. +Quad Core Vs. Dual Core 3. +2GB Ram Vs. 1GB 4. +Wireless Charging Cons: 1. -Very Low Internal Space(8/16GB),No memory card 2. -No FM Radio 3. -No Dolby Sound Enhancement 4. -No 4G Network I m not using any of these, I have Xperia ZL but I love My friend's Lumia 720

  • it works faster than Galaxy S4 :) Best price/performance phone. i got 17252 on Antutu Benchmark.

  • Hmm, i have a question. Lumia 920 or Nexus 4 ? If somebody would clear my mind whith a great answer , i will send him regards . :)

  • Nexus 4.

  • the hone is already automatically updated to KitKat 4.4.2, so i don't think the issue is with the software anymore as i have, and so did the service center, try restoring the phone to factory settings with no luck.

  • MIUI ROM thats the only solution for every issues in Nexus 4. Try !

  • It can not record the calls from KERNEL. Only one way it records. Since the ear piece volume is very high, all recorder uses the mic itself for recording both ways. You can use call recorder by SKVAlex from Play Store.

  • Over heats a lot. Glass is not scratch proof. Loud noise from ear piece, your friend can hear what other person talks. Poor battery performance. Never BUY !

  • it DOES NOT support OTG.Don;t buy this if you plan to use unpowered OTG (you need Y-cable and modding to have this working)

  • Nexus 4 is really great phone

  • update

  • The nexus 4 is the best spec's you will get for the price. The grand quattro is nowhere to be compared to the Xperia ZR or the Nexus. The same goes for the Desire 500 and Xperia L aswell. They're to be considered as "budget" phones. Althought it depends on what amount of money you're willing to spend. Since u wrote those models, i suggest that your budget covers them all. So if you ask me, the real question is Nexus 4 or Xperia ZR. Basicly they're similar in specs. The Xperia is even better in camera, has the expansion slot has more pixel density(ppi), but has smaller 4.55" TFT display vs the Nexus's 4.7" TRue HD IPS+ display (which i think it's waaay better). With the Xperia you will also get Sony custom UI and other features. But the price of the Xperia is higher. If you dont bother about the price, and u don't care when you gonna get Kitkat and you're not the type who seeks "stock android experience" go for the Xperia. But if you don't care about the camera that much, and if you think that 16 gb of internal memory is enough (like i think) you will get the same amazing performance of cpu, gpu and stuff for a way lower price. In final - it depends on personal prefer. Both are amazing phones, no doubt about it. You have to chose for yourself which will suits you more. Good luck with your choice :)

  • One demerit is that we cannot expand the memory.

  • any suggestions for the new phone... 1) Samsung Grand Quattro 2) Google Nexus 4 3)Sony Xperia ZR 4) Sony Xperia L 5) HTC Desire 500 or any other fone within this budget...

  • the phones is great,loads of options, simple, sleek, cool design, but ever since facing the problem of restarting each time i do a video call i started regretting buying it.

  • you can able to use video call by using Tango application and do not use ART because this apps isn't updated to other Social Media Application.

  • Please suggest a call recording app that properly works on nexus 4 device. Thanks

  • hai guys... i wish to buy Nexus 4 .. how about that phone >> please specify.if any one using this phone.

  • hi guys, i've bought my Nexus 4 early December 2013, but after using it for two weeks noticed a problem with the video call. no matter what video call app i'm using (skype, line, tango) the phone reboots after two minutes. not sure whats the problem, i have taken it to the service center as its under warranty, but as every body knows, they never admit to a problem. i wonder if any one have experienced such problems with their Nexus 4?

  • I have no issues with the bluetooth with the kitkat 4.4.2 the problem is with your device.

  • How to do an a video call

  • Has anyone figured out a fix for the Bluetooth as it stops running since the last update. This is extremely annoying as I travel a lot and depend heavily on the Bluetooth capabilities. I am having to reboot my phone now twice a day to get the Bluetooth working.

  • Only thing that i hate of kitkat is wifi connection os very poor

  • Phone is OK...have been using the phone for an year now but after seeing the Nexus 5 which has a similar 8 MP camera, the difference in quality of images is enormous. Nexus 4's camera has pathetic quality, not even at par with other 5 MP phones.

  • Awesome product from google....

  • I'm very happy with my Nexus 4. I bought it yesterday and today I put the KitKat upgrade and the launcher for Nexus 5 looks and it all works up solutely amazing. I have no complaints about the phone. It works really amazing and I can get enough of it. P.S. sent from my new Nexus 4.

  • Yes kitkat 4.4.2 is the latest firmware for nexus 4 and hopefully kitkat 4.4.3 is next to this device for fixing all problem and complaining od users around the world. But for me i'm very happy if the camera of nexus 4 become fast shoot during HDR and zero shutter lag.

  • Do not use Art because isn't updated and some of application cannot work during Art activation.

  • yes it does!! But though ART is still in its experimental and developing process so you have to select it from the Developer Options!! It doesn't come by default! You can enable the the Developer Options by tapping 4-5 times on the Build Number Tab found in the About Phone Menu!

  • Does upgrading to 4.2.2 bring ART to Nexus 4?

  • Just download Nexus Root Toolkit latest version and now you have an option to choose the best android OS prepared to your Nexus 4 and for me the best firmware to my nexus 4 is JB 4.2.2 zero shutter lag and more speed without any error.

  • Will the 4.4.2 be the last official version of android on this phone?

  • I have the nexus 4 and have many problems with Wi-Fi. Works fine at home but when I am out and using with+fi on public spots,I get error messages and cannot access Internet.w+mail etc. I have to them Wi-Fi off and then can surf

  • yes the specs of LG G pro is higher than Nexus 4 But this is not pure Google phone and we don't know how long the android can support of OS update. About the speed and lag, Nexus 4 is more speed like fluid without lag even by playing high resolution or 3d games. advise: if you want to buy LG G pro please just compare this to Galaxy S4 i9506 series.

  • if u guys wanted transparent soft keys on the bottom just like the nexus 5, make sure u guys use the Google Experience Launcher. only then the nexus 4 kitkat will look exactly like the Nexus 5 search on the web for the launcher. then manually install it. easy :)

  • updated my nexus today 4.4.2 no many changes....bt nice

  • Ways d battery backup....he much time it stands for normal use???

  • No not the optimus G pro, open the review of both nexus 4 & optimus G & see ur self the benchamrking result

  • If you have the 4.4.2 KitKat update we most probably won't be getting another android update for a while. Try a factory reset? I rooted my phone and put a custom ROM onto it which improved my performance greatly, not to mention that I haven't experienced any lag/crash/or anything out of the ordinary!( using latest version of purity ROM). After all this phone was labeled the developers phone anyway. A ROM is defenetly with it if you like to get the most out of your phone!

  • You may want to turn on autocorrect there buddy :)

  • Nexus 4 have a new technology hardware in 2012. But the camera is bad because many people like vividness of the image instead Natural color that in Nexus 4 camera, and talk about the speed and accuracy? well, I agree to nexus 4 off-course pure google phone. If you want to Buy Nexus 4 or LG G pro... I think go for Nexus 4 but for me I'll go for LG-G2 instead LG-g pro or Galaxy S4.

  • it is same nexus for and lg g optimus , may be you mean optimus g pro whih is higher processor. the difference is camera quality only .

  • Dear all My hand phone nexus e960, display broken,, may i know,,is your company provide repairing & spare parts? Thanks & regards

  • used this phone for over a month now. before i was an iphone 4 user. my comments: the battery is worse than the iphone. really have to disable a lot of features to get it through a day. the next negative is the camera. also worse than the iphone. autofocus is slow and lastly is the speaker which is also poor.. other than that. love the phone. love the screen. love the smoothness of the android. no lag whatsoever
