Is the back of these weaker than the front?
Is the back weaker than the fronts of other phones?

I'm thinking about one, but not sure, I'm usually not clumsy but things happen...

Appears so.

It isn't gorilla glass, iirc someone said it is just "hardened" glass.

The glass looks too thin on the back.

With a rigid rear case on the back, it should be fine.

It's just a shame that you need one in the first place. As I'm sure I've said before, putting glass on the back of a phone was always a stupid idea, but to do it after Apple already had was inexplicably dumb.

I'd get the google bumper most likely, it's the worst part of the phone for me, I like the fact my SGS3 is plastic, people moan about the premium feel, but it's the back of the phone? My fingers don't care if it's plastic/metal/ali/GOLD they are touching...

glass is heavy, and weak, and has to have something under it anyway? arg, still like this phone though!

Might get the dbrand carbon back from day one so the glass doesn't bother me!

Awesomeness

I have dropped this phone so I am scared to take the back off but I can't feel anything cracked or smashed.

 

[Devious]

What cover is that liquid_entity?

Using the link from Jimlad for the replacement back from LG's site, the description says.. "..This cover have the most wanted gorilla glass 2, the NFC TAG and all the antenna connections."

I took the plunge tonight and upgrade to a nexus 4!

I did it through CPW as it was a much better deal. I tried o2 cancellations but they wouldnt budge from the standard pricing. Ended up getting it for £22 per month 600 Mins, Unlimited Texts and 750Mb data and a free phone. Should be here tomorrow or Friday!

Now, do I have to phone o2 to tell them or does it all get done by CPW?

I believe the phone takes a micro sim, will this be provided to me with the phone?

Thanks!

 

[matt1]

The micro sim is within the normal sim, so you just take it out and pronto you're ready.

 

[peter212693]

I already have a full size sim in my S2 with o2 and with it being an upgrade im keeping my number so I presume they will swap the number to a new micro sim for me? Any idea if this will be an automatic thing?

 

[badcompany]

What are the recommended screen protectors? Front and back?

 

[Mr Paul]

Back dbrand skin
Front I use a atfolix clear

Ok, so the sound quality through the AUX cable in my car is terrible. And it's certainly down to the phone. My old iPhone used to be much much better, it's got to the point where on some songs, I can barely hear the singing. I've tried lots of different EQ settings on the phone, and fiddled with the Bass, Treble and Middle on the car stereo, but nothing.

Anyone know what the problem could be?

I was in a similar position with Vodafone, and I just took my 'old' full size sim into one of their stores, and they transferred everything from it onto a new micro sim, which I put into my new phone (an HTC 8X actually!).

This was all done completely free, so I assume that O2 will offer a similar service. Alternatively you might even be able to get them to send you one, which I have also done with Vodafone.

try neutron music player - it is supposedly the best.

If they're clever they'll send you a new SIM, but you can order one for free from their website anyway and then swap it over to the new one when it arrives.

It's £5! Is it really necessary? Why isn't the normal music player good enough?

Try clearing the Cache and it should revert back to normal.

After good ffew months with my N4 I have decided to sell it and go for the HTC One

For all those thinking about buying the N4, its an amazing device and for the price its even better ! The only reason I am selling it because I am getting a really good deal with the One.
