    Solution to the rattling issue! And it's not the camera!

    While I agree that we can all live with that rattling sound, you cannot deny it is not due to bad quality build. Unfortunately mine has also the buzzing sound, which again I can live with. And a static sound when making a phone call. This static sound is quite annoying. Thought it was due to...

    Solution to the rattling issue! And it's not the camera!

    Thanks to a Spanish Nexus 4, we now know what caused the rattling. It has nothing to do with the camera autofocus.

    Internal moving parts?

    I know this seems like a very weird unusual question, but I noticed that the phone seems to have a moving part inside. Notices when dropping the phone on a table. You can replicate this by moving the phone close to your ear, and by shaking the phone. The noise can be heard even if blocking the...

    Hi all, My nexus 4 seems to be affected by the so called "antennagate" which affected the iPhone4. - phone on the table: full reception HSPA (signal strength -83dBm, 15 asu) - grab the phone in my hand: reception drops by 2/3 bars (still HSPA). Sometimes down to 0 bars (signal strength -103dBm...
