But with that said, the G Pro is an amazing phone. One of my friends has it, and it's very snappy. I personally don't think it's worth double the price of the regular G though.. that and you have to use two hands to properly use it.

As for the rooting and flashing, I have the Korean variant so I don't think I can do that. But then again, it's not really a concern as I'm very satisfied with my phone, and all I do is surf the web and text.

No LTE on the korean version? and I assume it'll work back in canada?

Second person calls me back and says sorry we can't do it anymore, it'll be out for delivery Tuesday -___-

:fuuuuu:

Its gonna be like a month for me to end up with a functioning Nexus 4.... god forbid if it fucks on me again before a day

Why a month? Once they send out the replacement, you get to use it and you have 21 days to send either the replacement or original back in. Just double check with google that it is 21 days starting from the day you received the phone, not the day it was shipped out. If you ship a phone back after the 21 days they automatically charge your card $420.

I like the new menu layout.. much nicer and a few extra functions...

Yup installed the new camera the moment it was released. Wish it was released a day earlier because using the volume keys to take a photo makes taking photos much easier.

I just meant in general of having a functional Nexus 4...

Ordered June 10th... phone gets here 21st, shits on me on the 22nd, order the replacement, gonna get it on July 2nd

:fuuuuu:

Anyone know where I can find a bumper locally?

Would have gotten another case like the nilkin/ringke but the wait would be too long.

:fuckthatshit:

Buying a nexus, any difference in the phone from koodo v play store? Aside from price, koodo is 50$ cheaper for the 16gb.

Can you lock a nexus? I was under the impression that's one big thing, that it's never locked.

^ that's what I thought as well, didn't think any carrier could lock the phone

:fuckthatshit:

since u bought someones bumper
ebay a nilkin case for like 9$ it comes with a front screen protector too

it's worth it

:fullofwin:

Decided to try flashing a custom ROM on my Optimus G.

Flashed CM 10.1.2 and I really like the stock feel. Phone feels slightly faster (placebo maybe?) and I like how I can finally use DashClock :lol

Missing some of the stock apps though.. and QMemo was pretty handy to take photos of your friends and then draw on them, haha.

^It probably is faster since it doesn't have to run all of LG's customizations on top.

I don't use my black nillkin case. If you want, and don't mind pick up at my work place, I'll sell for $8 even with the screen protector.
It's this one. Black Nillkin Premium Matte Hard Cover Case LCD Guard FOR LG Nexus 4 E960 Mako | eBay

I need one; if he doesn't take it, I will.
