Nexus 4 = Total Fail?

[return_0]

I dropped mine, and it didn't break! Totally intact! I thought it was advertised that the glass back would make it super fragile. And totally agree on the last one, I want to pay more money for my phone! I didn't buy a smartphone to save money.

I figure we need a thread like this, too.

I ordered my N4 on day one, and got it in the first round of shipping. Since then I've had the following problems:

1. It won't print money. No matter how hard I yell at Google Now to create $50 bills, they never come sliding out from under the rear glass. WTF Google?!?

2. It doesn't have a 7-inch screen. How dare Google sell me a phone thats the same shape and size as a phone. PHABLETPHABETPHABLET ROBBLE ROBBLE

3. I have had to wait hours for an OTA. I ain't getting any younger, and I want updates before they go live dammit. That's why I bought a Nexus.

4. NEEDS MOAR BLOATWARE

5. It has no Memory Stick Pro DUO slot. Give the consumers what they want Google, you evil sonsofbitches.

6. My friends got a two-year contract with their new phones. All I got was a low price.

I'm sure there are many more. All in all, the above cons outweigh all the pros of this phone.

My Gnex didn't turn into an N4 when it got the 4.2.2 update. EPIC FAIL Google!

#1 is a dealbreaker for me.

You forgot the fact that it doesn't magically turn into an iPhone so I don't have to explain to everyone what kind of phone I'm using ;-)

The pixels are too small! The specs advertise the N4 as having a 1280x768 display. What good are all those pixels if I can't see them?! Fail!

My biggest complaint is it works. I thought android was supposed to be a fragmented, force closing, malware infested and ugly looking unintuitive mess. WTF

Mine rang once and scared the crap out of me!! WTF, it receives calls?? I thought it was just for texting and surfing the web. Also, I find that it is way too easy to be constantly customizing it, why oh why do I have to make it look and act exactly the way I want, why can't it be a cookie cutter phone!

I hate how it's just so much more open and less restrictive than iOS-using Apple iPhones and has a bigger screen.

And the worst part is it's pentaband AND unlocked.

WTF, Google?

I hate how convenient it is to pay with Google Wallet - what happened to days of carrying a real wallet full of real cards?!

We have to get this thread to get more views so it shows up in "Most Viewed" at the top and everyone sees how terrible this phone is.

That would be funny. Anyway what heck was Google thinking putting a glass back that makes it easy to wirelessly charge? Everyone knows plastic is better. And no SD card? No one wants a phone that doesn't have a SD card slot! Come on Google get with it

What I really hate, is that I don't have one yet! Just a things to check onbrfore Google Play gets my order. I need to know if Netflix will look as good on the screen as my one x.

I hate that at my fourth attempt to leave iPhone, I finally found a device that I enjoy more than my iPhone. I was a total iOS guy until the Nexus 4.

I've been trying to figure out what was going on with my phone for the past month but I couldn't figure it out. After reading your post, it all makes sense now. I feel cheated. I think they have been lying to us about those pixels.

I've been using the same Nexus 4 since November. TOTAL FAIL.

 

[quicksilver53]

Such a FAIL, this Nexus 4. I just ordered one tonight, to see what all the complaints were about.

I just ordered one tonight as well just to see how much its lacking when compared to my GS3, RAZR MAXX and Droid 3!
