Google Nexus 4

[sporty-bloke]

I've had loads of problems getting our N4's to pick up a wifi signal

I've come from an iphone 4S and the nexus beats it in every department ... the wife had a HTC widefire s and the nexus takes a big s**t all over it

 

[JJ!]

You surprised? The wildfire series are budget entry level models!

Really considering getting a Nexus 4.

iPhone 4 with iOS7 is very slow. (yes, I know it's a 4 and not the quickest one)

I once tried a Galaxy Nexus for a month and sold it, as it was too laggy, wifi was shocking and kept crashing.

Wondering if the 5 is enough of an upgrade to wait?

Thanks,

G.

 

[welshname]

Nexus 4 is great but I'd probably hold out until the 5 if I were you.

 

[sn00p]

I'd wait. The 4 is a brilliant phone and jellybean is very good (no lag), but google are clearing stock.

The 5 is imminent and you'd be daft to get a 4 at this moment.

 

[welshname]

I got one. But after selling the s3 it cost me £20 so it was a no brainer

 

[cava83]

Thanks guys. Appreciate it.

Will wait. Hopefully it will be subsidised too.

G.

 

[welshname]

Announcement should be next month hopefully

 

[valver lad]

Yup, October 14th has been rumoured a few times.

 

[richy22]

I thouhgt the rumors were that the 5 isn't going to offer "that" much more?

It's a clone of the G2 with a worse battery.

 

[welshname]

Really? They're going to go back two generations of phone and just make the battery worse?

You're broken.

 

[Alex5]

The Nexus 4 is already better than an iphone5, so the Nexus 5 is going to be awesome!

 

[welshname]

Looking at the supposed leaked pictures it looks like it's getting in for a galaxy note size device. DO NOT WANT

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

4.9 inch screen apparently. Not much bigger the 4 my mate said? Going to be very fast though according to some reports. Will be nice to see what features KitKat has too.

I've got the Samsung Nexus and the size is good. Id rather it be a bit bigger than as small as an iphone.

 

[welshname]

Yeah IMO iPhone's have a daft resolution. Too skinny for how tall they are now. Wouldn't ever go back to one I don't think.

 

[_Tom]

Same size as an S4 its suppsosed to be.

 

[martynzs]

Had my Nexus 4 about 3 weeks now, staggered at how good it is.

The LG G2 has just been released, not the T-Mobile one from eons ago - http://www.anandtech.com/show/7251/lg-g2-and-msm8974-snapdragon-800-a-quick-look/3

The battery on this thing is immense. But it's going to be a 2300mh (Rumored) battery instead in the Nexus 5. I Will be going for the G2 if that is the case and just going to install an ASOP rom.

I can assure you, I am not broken.

I had the Samsung Nexus and I thought it was crap. Slow/juddery and would restart often plus only 512ram I think.

Looking forward to this Nexus 5 though. If the screen is massive, I will get the Nexus 4 (If I can find one)

Now you're making sense.

 

[MatthewR]

I'm loving my 4 and will more than likely be putting my preorder down for the five when available

 

[.Adam.]

Random question; I am on holiday at the moment and have turned data roaming and mobile data off on my Nexus 4. However, by the signal, there is an "R" symbol where the data speed is usually shown (H, 3G etc). I'm worried that the phone will be using data despite the fact I've turned it off. Anyone else had this?

 

[sn00p]

Yeah, it's just telling you that you're not connected to your home network, that's all.

If you want peace of mind, open up a web browser and try to go to google.com, it won't work if you've turned data off.

 

[Keydogg]

Yeah, R just means "Roaming", but roaming signal for calls and texts not data.

This is why im torn between "waiting" to see how good the 5 will be or getting a Nexus 4 (Been putting it off for about 6 months now)

 

[welshname]

Depends how much you can sell your current phone for. I only swapped mine because after selling the S3 it's only cost me £30

 

[richy22]

HTC incredible S...... Few penny sweets at best

Incase anyone wants a nexus 4 - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?722535-NExus-4-16GB

 

[welshname]

Just a pointer but I paid £199 brand new from the play store.

 

[MatthewR]

No longer available on play store along with like I say they seem to be £160- £200 on eBay I think its a fair price to include postage and fees.

Anyone interested please make an offer if you think its over priced.

you can't get the nexus 4 from the playstore anymore

Congrats. It doesn't make them rare and sought after devices though they don't start to increase in price like a classic car.

Check the eBay prices, as I say range from £160-200 for sale now over the last week I've seen them go for between £180 and £200.

Only thing I can respect out of your posts is the fact you haven't clogged up the for sale thread, besides as said above if its priced too high people can make an offer or I can put it on eBay / reduce the price accordingly.

 

[welshname]

I wouldn't put it on the fs thread. Here is safe as it's going to be a fair bet that most in here own one.

At what point did I say any of that? Calm down with that lip.

As Matt has said £180 is around the selling price at the minute, just because the new one has come out doesn't mean the price is going to drop.

Lets stick with your analogy for a minute, should no one ever post a clio in the for sale thread on this forum then?

Less of that please. And I don't get how people will pay the same as a new one cost for a used one

You're a r****d. I am saying I wouldn't post anything on his fs thread to put off buyers.

Anyone know when the N4 is getting 4.4?

 

[welshname]

"In the coming weeks" is Google's official statement. But CM 11 is a plain release of 4.4 which can be used on the Nexus 4.
