LG is not good supported brand for Google. Less production, buzzing sound.... so many issues.
Guys any suggestion on front and back screen guards? I have not been able to find a decent one available. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Also, i have seen a lots of msgs about the Rearth Ringke Fusion Case - has anyone already got this ? If yes, can you give your views on the case?

Great news!
Iam considering using HSG for two phones too.Yesrterday evening I already entered HSG address ,credit card,crv etc and then got cold feet at the final click where it is showing 698$+13$ or so delivery charge.I did not click "place order" I closed the page. Immediately googlewallet debited 1$ to check my a/c. That should be normal to verify card right?
I was a bit torn to use PPO box as they offer superior service. But Tax of $30+30=60$ is making me to go with HSG.
I have made up my mind and going to place it monday early morning.via HSG.
when debit of $711 or so goes thro,does ICICI credit card /other companies call you? (I have a large limit ,not a problem)
Did you use Normal shipping or Express shipping? who delivered to your door & collected cash -Fedex or DHL? Box opened or seal intact??
you escaped 5.5 % or so octroi??
Customs Duty @rs 1180 for 2 phones is great!!:silly: Most guys from Mumbai or delhi end up with a bill of Rs 1500-1800 for one phone!!
My city is Hyderabad. So no octroi. but customs cleared via Mumbai/delhi/bangalore or Hyderabad itself?? still not sure DHL or Fedex customs gateway applicable to Hyderabad.
Thanks for your post. it gives me the final confidence.
I have a seperate order for hard cases at Amazon. but I dont want to combine as they will be charged @15%. If I order Nexus 7 -32gb at Amazon (same price as Google play ,I will combine Nexus 7 with extra nexus 4 cases .

Awesome Example of talking through your arse.
Buzzing sound is rare not everyone has it i don't have one , and so does the other 20 people whom i sold phones to .
This is one of the best built android phones in the market right now in build quality yes its fragile because of glass back , But build quality is much better than most android flagships .
no ones asking u to buy the phone but nexus 4 mops the floor with an s3 , IPS LCD is better than samoled , 1.5 gig s4 pro is much better than 1.4 ghz a9 exynos , Adreno 320 is also better than mali 400 .
1 GB ram vs 2 GB ram .
please dont talk about custom roms , S3 has good support yes but its never 100 % working there is also one or 2 small issues small yes but nonetheless they are issues .
Only way and s3 is a better buy than nexus is if a micro SD card is a must for u .
Thanks @Saurab for your post as it applies to me at hyderabad. i almost placed the order yesterday at Googleplay using HSG.The tax in USA $(32) while using PPO box looks daunting. But other posters from Hyderabad using HSG are having their customs cleared in Delhi which is double the amount charged by Mumbai customs. HSG express shipment alone come to $28-30 I think.Hi Friends,
First of all thanks for all the help and guidance provided by everyone here to a nexus 4 wannabe like me. Especially to IllUMINATUz for creating such an awesome thread and summarizing all the necessary details in the OP. (Dude thank you very very much).
Now after all the acknowledging and thanking, i would like to share the data for the benefit of other Nexus 4 Wannabe's, the timeline for my purchase was as follows :
1. 0100 6th Feb (Yeah its very very early morning!) : Ordered from Google Play store using HDFC Credit card and PPOBox Shipping Address. Was charged immediately (There was no follow up charge).
2. 1400 7th Feb (The very next day) : Phone Shipped by Google through UPS 2Day Delivery and order completed
3. 2000 7th Feb : Phone Shipped to PPOBox Warehouse by UPS (Yeah it was same day delivery luckily!)
4. 8th Feb : PPOBox Updated that they have received the item and shipped it for India (They showed 1 day later acknowledgement in their tracker)
5. 9th Feb (Its Saturday) : Phone Reached India pending for Customs. I received a mail invoice from PPOBox for payment of shipping and customs due. Breakup for the same was as follows :
Item Actual Weight Including Volumetric: 440.0
ICC Shipping, Handling & Taxes: 618
Duty & Clearance Fees: Rs. 516
Additional Insurance: Rs. 224
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total Due: Rs. 1,358
I paid the amount immediately on their portal.
6. 2000 11th Feb (Monday) : Phone Cleared of Customs, reached Mumbai Warehouse and from there dispatched for Hyderabad through Bluedart.
7. 1600 12th Feb (Tuesday) : Package delivered by Bluedart at my Home and the Wait is Over!!!
So finally, total cost = 21,053 ($349 + $14 + $32) + 1,358 (Shipping, Custom and Insurance) = Rs 22,411
total time = 7days (6.5 to be exact )
Also, the package was sealed, when received and shipping invoice was attached to it.
For any other question kindly ask
:good: True that. As an earlier, experienced user of S3 i can say that S3 is a great phone but by no means better than N4. This phone is a gem.Awesome Example of talking through your arse.

Ever heard of custom roms?? I dont think i have ever used stock roms on any phone, s3 has almost all the top developers enough to keep it updated to the latest rom, even if samsung supports or not... And ram alone wont make a phone fly... its optimization which does.... I have original galaxy s, s3 and N4 (so i know what i am talking about )

That is true, although not to such a great extent but i can hear the sounds a little tinny and hint robotic compared to the fuller voice in S3, if you use N4 as the only phone you wont notice much but an A-B comparison would definitely change any one's perception... On top of it i broke the glass on a 2.5 feet drop... I guess glass is not my cup of tea...
Can I know whether someone is there who has ordered nexus one from TN through HSG ?
and where the clearance will happen ? Chennai on in delhi ???
I would also like to thank IllUMINATUz for this wonderful thread.If you see the first few pages, you will know how hard it was for me to keep this thread open that was even closed by the moderator the first day i opened it.
I thank all the posters for keeping this thread alive..
