So why are you using headphones while driving? Aside from being illegal have you ever heard of a bluetooth radio device? My GNex with 4.2.1 (OTA update from google. I have the unlocked version.) streams music on My Passat SEL’s factory radio unit. Who needs headphones?

Thats why you buy the unlocked phone. Sadly carrier phones tend to have restriction phones placed on them especially Jelly Bean phones.

Yeah but the worst thing about it is it’s an LG.

Battery life is really dependent on how you use the phone. I have to admit, if you’re just using as a phone and don’t use the screen too much it’s fricken amazing! I scored over 2 days on it with stock 4.2.1, see below.

I mean once the battery has been broken in and gone from low charge to full charge without interruptions. If I don’t do good charging habits I get around 2 hours of on screen time. However when I’m using a good charge I get around 5-7 depending on the app app or game I’m using.

How do you mean charged correctly?

1H34m of screen on time is pretty false. I can get up to 5-6 hours if my phone is charged correctly.

While the LG Nexus 4 is indeed technically compatible with the AT&T network, company policy will not allow you to get full hspa+ speeds out of their network using this device. The device in fact reports phone status that looks like hspa+ switching between the two hspa+ modes, however AT&T throttles the N4 speeds at the 2g/edge data rate or even lower. I bought and received my N4 and had it for a week before I just had to return it because of this disconnect between what could work technically and what AT&T would not allow by policy on their network. I could indeed talk on the phone and I did get a data connection, but the speeds were way below what they were for my 3g “real” AT&T phone(Captivate), no better than the 7kbps range. I setup and tried all of the APN settings and combinations available in various blogs for phone, pta, 3g, 4g, hspa+, etc. nothing would or even could as I found out change the state of the AT&T backend throttling. I therefore returned this otherwise great phone for a refund.

8 gigs is ridiculous and 16 is ok if you’re not gong save anything like pictures and forget movies. No SD, No sale.

As so many people complaining the battery life, here is my opinion of penny. You just need some twist to get more juice. As an example, I got 4 days battery life on one charge. How? Of course, I did not play video all the time. Just install some battery saving apps to turn off some background update and you will be fine.

Verizon’s network is open for any device that’s compatible.
The real issue is CDMA technology IS NOT open source.
Sure, Google can make a Nexus 4 that has GSM/UMTS/HSPA/CDMA/LTE like most of Verizon’s current phones (expecially if it’s a Motorola or iPhone 5 cause they work on US UMTS/HSPA) All you would have to do is put in your Verizon SIM card and it WOULD work. It would legally have to.
But then google couldn’t just simply push software updates to them until they get approval from Qualcomm for each build, since CDMA is not open source.

I’m sure an update will fix the battery issue.
