I got the upgrade and phone works well, overall I like lollipop but still not sure about the new notification shade, seems harder to use than kitkat, guess I'll get used to it. Seems to me a little like they are choosing dinky animations and effects over functionality with lollipop.

I'm back on a nexus 4. I put my old one through the insurance because of the screen. £30 later and I have a fresh refurbed nexus 4. Feels so much better than the Moto G 2014.
Problem with my N4. All of a sudden I get a no signal, emergency calls only or an empty triangle, no data or anything unless I'm outside the house/buildings etc. Just put in a brand new sim to eliminate it but the same thing.

Just picked up a cheap nexus 4(refurb £75) to check out android (or at least that was the plan - impressive phone so far).
Lack of 4g is a downer - although I have read that this can be enabled - has anyone tried this?
Also slight niggle with connecting to Wi-Fi on the BT home hub - it only connects if I change Wi-Fi frequency to 2.4?

No 4G in the UK for this phone m8
Apparently you can `hack` the US version of the phone
Soldato
You can flash the modem in the UK model also, but not many UK networks support the band.

Think I read it was T-Mobile

Was it £75 for the 8GB or the 16GB model? If the former, was the seller offering the latter for a little extra?

Cheers- I will give it a try - o2 network so it will probably not work.

Yes this was for the 8gb version - think the 16gb was 100ish.
No I've never had any issues with the alarm or over night shutdowns...any chance its overheating when on charge?
My biggest issue is I use bluetooth a lot and I find either I am connected to the bluetooth and nothing comes out or the sound will stop coming out - in the car it then needs a reboot which isn't great
Other issues are of course the battery life and the camera. Since going to Lollipop I do seem to be rebooting this phone more frequently

I'm still on kitkat as when I got this refurbed phone it hasn't found an ota yet.
Might have to stay on it considering the last few posts on here.

I'd say you'll be alright if you fully wipe the phone and flash Lollipop. I've not had any issues since installing it on mine.
Mate on the Nexus5 had issues upgrading and keeping settings, but everything was fixed after wiping and reflashing.

Now random throughout the day. It would appear that I am not alone:

Update on this: Googling suggested ordering a new battery which I've done and put in, but I'm still getting no signal in areas I should do.
I think we might be nearing the end for my Nexus 4, but I really don't want to.

anyone know which lumia phone is equal to the nexus 4.
as my nexus 4 has now finally packed up i fancy a change. unless there is a way of sorting the dead spots on the screen middle and bottom (right where all the buttons are )

)Non for the lumina i'm afraid. I spent some time pondering phones keeping an eye on the various threads in here etc and finally lost it with my n4 over the weekend when the battery life again just seemed to disappear and it crashed on my return home ;(
Although it is one of the more expensive variants I decided to go for the Z3 which appears to address most of the shortcomings of the N4.
* external memory card
* battery life
* camera
Size wise it doesn't seem a lot bigger than the n4 but will be able to post more once I receive it
