Slight Design Change in RMA Nexus 4

raysurrx7 · Mar 18, 2013

I have one of the original N4's when they were released, yellow screen and defective charger. I got an RMA N4 and it looks like they added little nubs to the bottom. Just an FYI

What hardware revision? Boot in bootloader mode and give us the infoz!

It's nothing major. But the back plate can somewhat be more easier to remove.

Interesting touch, and very smart actually given how many people had their backs crack just from temperature variations on whatever surface they put their Nexus 4 down on. Hopefully that lifts the glass off any surface a bit. Flip side is that looks like it'd be a fitment problem for most cases on the market already.

It's not to cool down the glass, is to keep free the sound from the speaker that was getting blocked when you had the device on a flat surface.

They probably have a whole variety of reasons. IMO raising the speaker off flat surfaces would be a perfectly good reason because it's completely muffled when you put the phone down on its back. They wouldn't change the hardware just for that, but it'd certainly help.

Thats true.. Dafaq?

RayLancer · Mar 18, 2013

That minor change could affect some cases. Well, maybe not.

Nope, that's the torque screw on the bottom of the phone. It just looks quite big in the photo.

Torx screw you mean.

And going back on topic, if the phone is flat on the table the gap could increase air flow for better cooling and increase the volume too.

Its REV 11, Production date 02/2013 made in Korea. i'm in the US and It still fits perfectly fine in the LG Bumper. The photo is little confusing it was taken with my original N4 with a macro lens. the hole is the torx screw on the bottom.

Awesome! I ordered an RMA last night, should be receiving it sometime this week.

My Nexus 4 died on me Sunday night. Red light of death

Watch as dozens of people cry about their phones not having this, and then come up with excuses why they need to rma their device.
