Dropped my 1 month old nexus 4, bezel dented :( - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to repair it? I dropped it from a ~1.5ft. edge and it already has a dent. The dent is on the bezel, and is seen easily if you bend the phone. Pic:

You can put a bumper on it .. it will hide the dent. Other than that, only a new bezel will help you.

Gosh, can I not just open the back part of the phone, and be able to hit the dented part from inside?

that would void warranty,
you could try open it to push it back with a round metal object, if the phone is fine, either open it or hide it with a case

You're lucky you didn't crack the screen. You would of needed a complete LCD replacement. I would slap a case on it and call it a day.

It is a plastic bezel, so that would not do any good at all.
Like other people have said, it sure does not look as sleek as a naked n4, but just put a case on your phone

Screen protector

Did your gt540 come with a screen protector?
Mine is scratched to death!
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
I have a zagg protection on my phone, so scratches is not a problem
I will google that
Sent from my GT540 using XDA App
I've made one myselfx, it's very easy. Just measure the screen, cut a clear transparent plastic and apply with a few drops of water with dish soap, then use a credit card to remove the air bubbles. Very very easy, cheap and effective. I don't even notice there is a layer of protective film on my screen

hi all,
only got my optimus the other day, but it does come with a very snug fitting screen protector, if u never took one off when you bought it chances are its still there.
have a pick around the buttons and see if you can lift a corner of the shield.
hope this helps

[Q] Nexus 4 Leather Pouch

Hello,
Does anyone recognize this leather pouch?
It looks like an OEM pouch for Nexus 4.

Thanks.
I think I should have posted this in Accessories sub forum...
Nobody?
This one?

I have that pouch and it's not oem. It's not even made of real leather. N4 sits in snuggly but it has to be naked meaning no cases or bumpers.
I'm not sure. Is it the same? The upper part looks different.
Forgot to post mine when I made the comment

Thanks a lot for posting the picture.
I guess I'll get one from Bugatti.
You can also go to dodocase.com and pick up a very nice leather wallet pouch from them for the Nexus 4. I'm getting one myself once I can afford it.
The phone is already too large for my taste, so I don't want a huge case like the one from dodocase.com.
I want the smallest possible case or pouch that fits the phone.

ASUS replaced my screen because of light leaks

I know several people have been complaining that their N7s had light leak issues. Mine had leaking around the edges and a circular leak in the top right of the screen which was noticeable when I put my tablet down on a desk and used it at a 90 >= angle. I contacted ASUS and sent my N7 back, not only did they swap out my LCD but also gave me a brand new battery too!
I suppose the only money I'm out now is the money I spent on the screen protector that was on the unit when I sent it in (I'm assuming that by replacing the LCD, that the LCD is directly attached to the outer plastic of the screen, which includes the surface the screen protector was on).
Cool story, bro.
How do you know they replaced the battery?

Got the same thing they replaced my screen because of backlight bleeding and when i opened my n7 today when i got it back and i noticed some extra stick tape at my battery and some kind of weird steel or iron plate connected to my battery wich wasnt there before i send it
The steel plate is on the bottom right and im missing a screw! Should i send it back?
The screw im missing is between my second and third finger

Bubble under glass

I got my note 4 day after launch and yesterday morning a bubble showed up under the glass on the left top corner of the screen At first I though it was the screen protector that had a bubble underneath but after taking the screen protector off it is actually under the glass. The bubble is about half inch long by 1/8th inch wide or so. I couldn't find any info on anyone else with this problem. I went to Tmobile and they sent a replacement phone out right away. Anyway just seeing if anyone else has had this problem. There is no damage to the glass or screen just a bubble under the glass. XDA wont let me post photos in my posts yet so once I'm over 10 posts i'll put some pictures of it up.
Looks like glue wasn't cured right. Were you able to "push" bubble out by pressing on screen or is more like cured glue separated from glass?
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Pressing on it doesn't make the bubble go away or change shape in any way.
be good if some way we can see a picture.

There it finally allowed me to post photos.
yeah that's a strange one! Only thing I can think of is that it was there when you first bought it, but it was too small for you take notice until it got bigger!
Exchange!
This is the adhesive that fuses the LCD panel to the glass digitizer separating. Definitely a factory defect and definitely get it exchanged. This should not be happening.
Mine is separating in the same spot. Can only see it when the light it on it just right, hasn't gotten as bad as yours yet

Camera edge spot

I just opened and setup my V20, I was super careful with it. I only had it rest on something soft while I was getting the sim activated and until I put the case on. Well, it seems to be something like a shiny spot on the camera rim. At first I thought it was a reflection, but is a blemish. I am torn, should I take it back (BestBuy) or live with it. It sucks to have that out of the box.
Here is a pic:

It is to the outer side of that on the chrome rim. I cannot feel the spot nor clean it away.
looking athe photo, it seems like the outer rim, and not the protector.
Anyway I got it replaced so all is good.
I need to take you along with me next time I buy a new truck!!
