Who still has their Nexus 4?

If any of you replace the battery, please start a thread about the brand you bought and your experience. That would help the rest of us know which batteries are as good or better than OEM and which ones to avoid.

This thing seriously is a little trooper. It's aged well.

Still have, still use it as my only phone (after having to abandon my Pre 3 - loved WebOs).

It's a great phone that works like a charm. Now it will be getting Lollipop (terrific move by Google), I honestly can't think of a reason why I should switch.

I still got mine.

Will probably replace soon.

I still have mine and it works perfect. Ya the battery has always been lame right out of the box but otherwise it's great.
I am unsure of my next phone while I was hoping the N6 would be a little more appealing in a few ways I think I'll wait for reviews and user opinions.
I love the Moto X and Motorola's features but the battery is lame as well as the camera software where as the N6 will apparently have a long lasting battery but no Motorola features and it is kind of big. Might end up trying an iphone6?

Holding out hope to see if L helps the battery at all. Seems like the Sony Z3C is about the only option for a similar sized phone with a good battery.

I still have mine. Unfortunately I dropped it onto a tile floor last week and the screen cracked badly enough that I can't get past the lock screen. Now I have to decide whether to spend money to fix it, or just treat it as a dead loss. Neither the size nor the price of the N6 appeal to me. As a stopgap I bought a Nokia 635, which is surprisingly decent for a hundred bucks for the T-Mobile version.

I still have mine and threw on some lollipop and now it runs beautifully. I can't wait until the official release comes out. Here's hoping the stock Images are released tomorrow.

Has it improved the battery life?

Still have mine and still love it, I'm not planning to replace it until it will die xD

I just decided to spend $110 to get my screen replaced -- broke last night. There's nothing new out there that's decent decent for less than about $600.00, and my Nexus 4 does everything I need it to. My only significant issue is with battery life (especially using GPS), but I can deal with that. I've got a mini battery/ recharger, and I keep my phone plugged in when its convenient. Maybe when the OnePlus One becomes available, I'll check that out.

I just had the same experience, and decided to fix my screen ($110 at a local shop). I'm using an old BB Bold 9700 while its in the shop. I'm sure I'll appreciate the Nexus 4 even more after this weekend!

Still got mine. Not replacing until next year.

If my N4 broke, I'd probably buy the Moto G, Nexus 5, or Nexus 6. I don't think I'd bother to repair it at this point.

 

[ignasimanso]

Me, well i don't use it anymore. Go for the Samsung galaxy note 4 hahaa

 

[zorak950]

I always feel like Samsung devices have too many bells and whistles baked in. It eats up storage space and RAM, breaks up the clean Android experience, and rarely amounts to any real added value.

Had mine 14 months still love it, been in the standard bumper since day one, not a mark on it. Sold Nexus 5 after three months of it sitting in my desk, I keep phone in pocket, always have and Nexus 4 is the biggest phone I am comfortable with.
Battery life is the same as when I bought it.
See no reason at all to upgrade, when I do it will be a phone of the same size.

Agreed. On the plus side, Samsungs have removable batteries. It's a tough choice for me.

I've had mine since release. Battery sucs now but overall still chugging along. I bought 2014 X to replace the 4 but going to return the X. Now I have z3 compact on the way. Hope it's not a bad move from nexus to sony.

I bought my N4 last November, so just a year old. I have it rooted and running xposed, gravity-box and a half dozen modules, plus some paid for "root" apps. It's running real nice, battery is as good as it will ever be, and if need be, I will just replace the battery from Amazon or some such place. I have no real reason to replace my phone as it does everything I need it to do, unless of course I drop it from a 12 story window.
As far as lollipop goes, I am in absolutely no hurry for it (I am an old linux user and learned long ago to let others do the all the early testing to root out all the bugs), so I could very likely keep 4.4.4 on this phone permanently.
However, I also have a bone stock N7 2013 that I will let upgrade to 5.0, so I can get to play with the new OS. If it really is that much better (and I'm not completely convinced that it is), then I may go to lollipop on the 4 and then root it after.
