I'm going to replace the micro USB cable that came with my Nexus 4. (The one from the stock charger). I need a cable which charges as fast as the stock one. I tried getting a cable from Mediabridge but they don't ship outside US.
I found those two on Amazon. They're almost the same, the one being 3.0 while the other one is 2.0. Is it the same which one I choose, and are those cables suitable for charging my nexus 4 with stock charger? Thanks.

2.0 Has issues with connections and the charging speed is not so good.
3.0 does not fit at all.
The best one is the Fosmon Flat Cable which is pretty good for its price, I even have one myself.
It is 2.1 AMPs out which does a good speedy charge on the Nexus 4, I even own a orange one and it is just so good.

My mistake with 3.0. Didn't check properly .
Is the fosmon high quality? Does it break easy etc? I'm open for more suggestions
Edit: found it on eBay since it doesn't ship to Europe on amazon. Shipping costs around 12$ :/. Its this one, right? http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=310699483496

If you are in the UK you have to use the UK site.
The cable is high quality, never even got any damage and any of that.

Do you think the Nexus would be compatible with this: http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/bundle...5_1352951281_943abe706d6d6b649f154f0e4db00ac9
Usually it requires powercubes, but because the Nexus is Qi compatible, does this mean we can use it without.
I believe not. Last time I checked Powermat have not made any QI compatible chargers.

As discussed in many Nexus 4 Accessories threads the Nokia one sometimes works but not always, the LG WCP-[something] does work and is on amazon, the Oregon Scientific time and charger works and as stated above the Energizer Qi mats work.
Take a look thru these threads.

Hey everyone.
Reason, I started this thread. Is to find out what everyone is using. When it comes to the wireless docks out there.. I'm currently looking at the Nokia one. What is everyone else looking into? Currently awaiting the release of the cube for the N4. Not available yet tho.

At the moment, no one really knows anything about the official orb. I didn't want to wait to unleash the potential of this awesome technology so I bought a Maxell wireless charging mat. It works perfectly, and if you're interested then I just suggest getting one now. When the official one comes out you can just place it somewhere else in the house/office, which is what I'm going to do.

The description at the bottom states it comes with a universal power supply. That might mean it does have a US adapter.
Another thing I've noticed is I don't see a "qi" logo anywhere. Does that mean its not certified?

Almost pulled the trigger but the power port's position seems really awkward, it should be on the opposite side imo
Which do you think is more worth it? This or the Zens one? They are both around the same price...

Without the nubs the phone also works fine.
I think you shouldn't just RMA because of that.

i ordered new nexus 4 about three weeks ago and when it arrived, it didn't have the nipples. i was hoping it would but oh well.
about a month before that, i had to RMA another nexus 4 and the replacement also didn't have nipples.
Well.... I have heard that they kinda made the glass a bit stronger in the new design . Is it true?
Or is the same fragile one that breaks without even touching??

These are small bumps on the back of the phone near the screws that keep the phone a bit raised when kept on any surface. This helps reduce scratches on the glass back, help prevent slipping of the phone as well as improve the sound quality as the speaker opening becomes raised due to these nubs.

1st step: Google play is out of nexus 4.

I'm in depression today. I still can't believe I dropped the nexus 4 and it broke. My only hope is to wait for the nexus 5. I'm not making the mistake of getting a note 3 or a s4. For now I'm using a $30 flip phone. I feel like it's 2001 again.
Don't be too depressed, some people don't have clean water to drink and make only 1USD from a full day of work.
You can get a screen assembly for $108 on ebay and replace it yourself, or give the broken phone to me for free, I could make use of it.
If you don't want to repeat the same mistake, buy a case or tempered glass screen protector next time.
How did you go from broken phone to Dysentery water? You have a sick mind my friend.
