It just fell out of my pocket and hit tile floor. It's not too bad, it only got the bottom corner and doesn't affect usability, but still I hate that it happened.
The one I linked earlier that I got from ShopAndroid works well, was $41 with coupon code! I'd link again but I'm on my phone and lazy.
My TPU case can't come soon enough...
This is the link to it: http://ca.shopandroid.com/zens-wireless-single-charger/5A233A12862.htm
I have one of these Zens chargers too, and it works very well. Oddly enough, on the Google Play store, it says the Charging Orb will charge the phone in 4 hours, whereas from my tests, the Zens can do it in 3.

Any way I can use my wireless kbd and mouse with an OTG cable on the N4? Saves me a lot of trouble not having to take my personal laptop to work.
I'm connecting to a PEAP wifi with 4.1. and 4.2 devices just fine. There used to be a bug there but it has been fixed for a while, and even so the workaround was trivial. If I remember correctly, you long press on the network name, delete it, then when it's back in the list of available networks, long press to edit settings and reconnect.

4.2.2 being pushed out for N7, N10 and GN.
N4 not getting any love. Maybe they are brewing some secret sauce to unlock that battery life.

If they can optimise it so that the battery just runs a bit longer. I also found that moving from vodafone to Three sorted out my poor internet experience. Unlimited data for the massis

I guess I won't bitch too much about accessories being expensive when the phone itself is so damn cheap.
My only issue with the charger is the 4 hour charge time. And that's not much of a "problem".
Blame it on Amazon and Shoprunner.

I wish the factory installed screen protector didn't have symbols on it. I would love to keep it the way it is without removing and applying another screen protector.
Otherwise, Android > iOS. What an amazing phone and software!

Shipping for the phone, I find that alright. But shipping on that 60$ extra? It seems a bit much in my opinion.
When I can get a $2 item shipped from China for free paying $17 to have it shipped from the USA to Canada seems ridiculous. Even cross-border shipping from Monoprice isn't that expensive for Canadians. Add to that I was not able to combine shipping on my phone and my sisters phone so we ended up paying $34 because they had to go through as separate orders on Dec.3.
Part of it also is it seems dishonest to market a phone as "Check out this $300 phone that is great!". Until you realize that you'll have to buy the $350 one to have a usable amount of space, and then add shipping, and then add the $10 Canada tax which ends up making it a $400 phone. Even at $400 it's a good deal but it still makes the transaction smell a bit fishy because you go in with the expectation you're going to spend around $300.

You don't have to buy the 16 GB version, of course you pay tax, and you can pretend $10 shipping makes the phone $310 with free shipping plus tax. There, problem solved.
I'm all about consumer rights but this isn't a battle to pick. You're coming out ahead by several hundred dollars at the end of the day.
Or you can buy any other off contract phone. Someone tell me how much those go for.
You misunderstand. I am saying people aren't unhappy with what is being offered. People are unhappy that they feel that they've been misled. Had the phone been offered at retail in Canada for $400 after taxes every single person would still have bought one. Also those people looking to buy the Google accessories. Want the bumper? That's an extra $11 shipping, want the wireless charger? That won't be available at the same time either, that's another $17 (or whatever it ends up being) shipping.
By Canadian tax I mean how the device sells for $310/$360 up here instead of $300/$350. Each province has different tax rates which are applied after the base price.

I agree with the accessories bit. I'm not sure when it became standard practice to release accessories months after launch but it's ridiculous. It would be nice to just order the phone, its accessories, and pay one shipping charge. One and done, see you next year.
It was $422 with shipping and taxes (13%). That's not very far from your $400 ideal price point. Yes it would have been nice to pick it up in store but the logistics would have increased the price. Fido has it for $425 outright.
I need to get a phone and i need help. i was thinking of getting this phone. My question is where can i find this in Canada and is there a phone on the market comparable in total value.
My parents were going to get me a nexus from mobilicity for 329.99 but i figured it was the old one considering it has a 5mp camera. Since this one is new i figured i should get this.
thanks in advance

That's android for you :/
Why there's no shorcut for the galley from the camera app is beyond me.
What's the problem? I just have it to always use "video player" to play videos from the Gallery; it's relatively seamless. And you just need to swipe to the right while in the Camera app to get to the Gallery.
edit: You had VLC set to default, all you had to do was "Clear Defaults" for VLC app, then next time you open video in Gallery select "Video Player" as default.

There no icon but swaping works. Thanks, such a cumbersome way because swiping in any other direction brings up that shitty cam menu.
Download VLC and record a video using the camera app then try to play it gallery. Doesn't work unless vlc is uninstalled.
Edit- Thank you Husker! Got it!

I got my N4 today, but it won't recognize my SIM card.
I put the SIM in my wifes phone without powering it down and I had that exact problem. Powered it off and on again and it recognised it fine (I also reseated it at this point). Worth a try (if you haven't already).

I've tried that several times already with no luck.

Do you have another carrier that you can test with? I also had to restart the phone after inserting the new sim. Also what you can try is to go to the network settings and manually scan for your network and selecting it.
Settings - more - mobile networks - network operators
Let it search and then select your operator. Then restart

I just tried that and I keep getting a "Your SIM card doesn't allow a connection to this network."
Stock problems most likely. Do you really want to pay 60 quid for a charger? Lol
If it's from the future with magnets and shit I'll pay anything
The $30 t-mobile plan is working pretty well for me so far. I bought the groove IP app to avoid the 100 minute limitation. VOIP isn't great over 3G/4G, but works pretty well over wi-fi from what I've experienced. Data speeds have been pretty good here in Austin (~15mb/s), but my buddy's ATT iphone nearly doubles that on LTE.
Can we get some more case pictures up in here? I wanted to try to get away with only a screen protector on front and back (which has been more than fine so far), but I plan to travel in the future and it's only a matter of time til I drop this thing. Is there any consensus on the slimmest and strongest case out there?

Gah, this term around here lately, maaaan.
Just got some NFC tags from Amazon today, been messing with them to see what they can do. So far I have one that turns on Wifi and disables data for when I'm at home, and another by the door that disables Wifi and enables data for when I go to catch the train to work.
Very lazy, but until I can think of something better to use them for, it'll do. I'll probably change one of them into a switch tag so it can toggle the settings instead of using two tags.
