Hey guys,I managed to open back cover of nexus 7 with fingernails, then tried diff types of experiments as i thought its something loose connection issue so i tighten screws & again tried then its turned on with google icon then all went smooth untill i unplug charger , but i unplugged charger & again same happend with grey black screen, after that it not turned on again, when i tried to on it without charger then i seen the charging was showing red means almost zero charging but when i plugged it it showed me 51% charging, unable to figure out the problem is in battery or somewhere else, now facing same problem so i put back cover again , without plugging charger its not responding ,

I dont know whether service centre of india will replace my battery problem without any charges fees or not, i just dont know. Today all service centre was closed so going tommarow, My main problem is all Asus centre specializes in motherboards,desktop,PDA's, i cant see any centre which do servicing for nexus 7 3G model in mumbai or anywhere.
[Nexus 4 General] Hishighness731:
^^Rashi handles asus rma in india .I think I've heard at some forums that someone took the nexus there.At 1st they had no idea about it but later on they made some calls and repaired/replaced it...

Just put some pressure on them..

I am very sure that it will be having. The pics shown is just a render; the final product will definitely be having a cut-out, but quite doubtful whether it'll really look that good as shown in the render.

BTW, Guys, today morning at 5:56 AM , DHL is showing that for my package, processing was completed and has departed facility. Didn't get it today though :(.. Hopefully tomorrow. Can't wait!!!!

Isn't sunday a holiday for DHL [saw it in their website] and also customs [not sure]. If so, how are they able to do this and that too early morning. I guess they are updating it late.

EDIT: Called DHL. Apparently they are working today also, and it has departed the airport and reached their service centre. Will be reaching tomorrow :D

Yes!!
[Nexus 4 General] kirandanduprolu:
Mine cleared customs yesterday night 9.25 according to the tracker and since then there has been no movement on it. I guess Sunday is a holiday for DHL.

does hopshopgo close on Saturday and Sunday ?

i have paid the shipping cost since Friday but no shipping mail from them yet.
[Nexus 4 General] pranav_cache:
Guess they are, am too waiting since Friday.. My Nexus got delivered on friday itself to PPO Box.. since then no updates from them... :( Hope things will move from tomorrow.. :)
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Sunday is holiday for deliveries but goods continue to move through their network.

Google play updated Nexus 4 order to today

Google play updated Nexus 4 order to today, my nexus 4 was ordered on 9th Dec. it was 6-7 week .

is it any good ?
[Nexus 4 General] kirandanduprolu:
Generally that has been a sign of the fact that Google is doing some processing wrt your order. You can take it as a good sign
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
You will soon get the product. All those whose order was like this got it shipped within a week after this

I called The American Bazaar guys and they told me that They are unable to ship on saturday and sunday and if it is shipped on friday then it will process slowly
[Nexus 4 General] Aka91:
would you suggest PPOBox as the forwarding service ?

i am really gonna buy it as soon as it displays in stock on PS!

Thanks!

[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Any of you who used HSG opted for a local pickup (rather than delivery) from the DHL office? Apparently you need an authorization letter from the shipper (HSG) to do so. If any of you have done this before, please let me know how long HSG took to send the authorization letter. Their live chat support is currently offline and will open only tomorrow morning.
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
It has many good reviews but it is not in a tax free state like hopshopgo which will cost you much money

Hi.

I was thinking if buying this from the US. I had a couple of questions.

1. How is the overall build quality?

2. Is the overall experience better than Motorola designed Droid phone?

I have a RaZr. There are several cool things in this phone. Awesome GPU, good battery life, new innovative features etc...

Just wanted to know if will it be a step up or step down from my current RaZr.

Also, could anyone guide me how to buy it from the US?

Thanks ...

Sent from my DROID RAZR on JB.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Razr or Razr Maxx? If the former, then definitely a step up in all dimensions. Otherwise, battery life is definitely lesser. It has great build quality, but is more susceptible to damage as it has glass on both sides. [GG2 or not, it is still glass] Please read the first post of this thread, to understand how to buy from US. After reading , if you have any doubts, ask away.
[Nexus 4 General] exynoss:
I have galaxy s3. I m planning to upgrade to nexus 4. So it's worth to upgrade to nexus 4??

What u guys think...
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Depends on what you are looking for. Nexus 4 is not an upgrade over S3 in quite a few departments. For eg. camera quality and even battery [stock rom] are better in S3.

For me, my first priority was quick updates and great/stable AOSP based ROM's like CM/AOKP. Coming from S2, I know that people will keep on saying that having the best hardware + updates from devs will give you the best of both worlds, but the fact remains that the ROMs are not that stable and require lots of reverse hacking without the source code info. [ Lots of RIL crash, memory leak etc which take a long time to fix + worse camera quality etc.]

So, for me Nexus 4 was the only device I could have. [Well , was tempted by Note II to be honest, but I hate TW, and with Note 2, without TW, lots of great and useful features including stylus won't be present].

The other things such as much better design, great build quality are additional pluses for Nexus 4, but comes with its own disadvantage. [ More susceptible to cracks/damages due to glass on both sides]. But , if you are able to get it from a friend in US for near 400$, I think it would be a great device as probably you'll get higher price selling your S3 second hand.

In the end, it all depends on what you are looking for in the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] PROGUERAM:
I have a RaZr OG. Thanks for your reply. I will go through the first post. Online it says it will come to India for 35K. Will it make sense to buy it so expensive?

Sent from my DROID RAZR on JB.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Well, if you are talking about official launch, then I think even if the announced price is 35k, the street price should be considerably lesser. That plus some promotional offers [like 10% off on some online store] will let you buy it at a healthy price. In that case, near 30k [with 1 yr warranty] I think it would be worth it. I am generally hesitant to spend more than 30k on a phone, so maybe I am biased but don't think it would be worth buying for 35k. I am still sceptical though that N4 will launch in India, by this month end. Hope it does though.
[Nexus 4 General] PROGUERAM:
Hmmm..thanks again. But considering the EXACT same device can come for 22k, then why buy it for 30 or worse, 35. I also plan to ask my uncle in the US to buy it for me. He stays there. If someone would be coming here, they would get it. I believe the trick at customs is to simply turn the phone ON and keep it in the pocket & say its yours?

I don't know why the price is so high in India? Anyways...thanks for your replies. I now need to figure out the logistics of it. BTW, one last question...any particular batch code I need to be aware about? I followed the forums a while back and I saw practically everyone complaining about either a buzzing/rattling sound, a screen crack or a scratches etc...so do I need to worry about it even now or everything is fine?

Sent from my DROID RAZR on JB.
[Nexus 4 General] berz:
Buzzing doesn't matter rattling is only when u hit the top part of the phone and its cam again nothign wrong , Buzzing i dont have the issue but even people who have it have said it has no effect on the device and batches dont matter issues is kinda rnadom .

screen scratches and cracks are just bunch of morons who shouldn't use a smart phone ..

because all of those complaints are morons who dropped their phones and did other stupid things .
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
If you were of that opinion, why ask? Obviously if you have resources and can get it without any headaches for considerably cheaper value, go for that.

No. There are two revisions which are talked about- rev 10 and rev 11. However despite common belief, people with rev 11 are also reporting the rattling sound , yellow screen etc. So I guess it still depends to an extent on luck. That my friend is the reason why I'd have been willing to buy the device if it went for below 30k. It would have afforded me the opportunity to have quicker replacements and resolve any issues quickly. [that is provided the LG service is good in India; have no idea about it. my first LG phone; none of my friends have an LG] And yes I know the logic that sending it to US for repair and shipping it back would still be cheaper than the additional 8k or whatever, but fewer headaches/lesser down time in case of repairs wins out for me.

Also keep in mind that the people who come to forums and complain are those who have problems. Those who purchased the device and had no issue will likely not even register to such forums. In short, I believe except for the rattling [minor ones-which is hardly noticeable unless you check for it] and poor calibration [again slightly yellow or other problem] thing, all the other defects were just rare and not common across the entire batch.

There have been reports of the back cracking without any drops likely due to sudden change in temperature, which again is rare. It seems that gorilla glass 2 is less scratch resistant compared to gorilla glass likely due to the thinner glass, as this is something I've been hearing about since HTC One X and other such phones. [ I have been using my phones SGS and SGS2 without screen guards, and haven't had any scratches; can't say for sure whether that'll be the case with Nexus 4]
[Nexus 4 General] PROGUERAM:
Thanks for your replies...I might wait for CES to get over. Likely the pieces might drop. But the neXus 4 is surely something I will keep my eyes on...I will also ask my uncle about the same...so are the units in stock? Can v order them?

No. The cheapest option to buy , ie from google play store is not available at the moment. Others such as ebay/t-mobile would be quite expensive.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Its not expensive just in India. It's expensive everywhere except via Play Store. Google is selling N4 at cost via its play store. If you buy unlocked N4 from t-Mobile its $500.

Hello friends.. I am getting ready to order nexus 4 once google start accepting orders.. Will be ordering 2 16gb devices.. Could you guys please suggest me some good forwarder who does service from US to india.. Lately I had heard that PPOBox does a good service.. But I want the best forwarder.. Some1 who is more reliable, not costlier, speedy service and more duty friendly:silly:..

TY
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
borderlinx, hopshopgo, ppobox are all good. Some forwarders give a address in no tax state which saves about $25. I personally used borderlinx and am paying about $40 to ship it to India which includes shipping+insurance+customs.
[Nexus 4 General] abbey4u:
my shipment is on hold and just received a call that need a road permit for delivery in UP , so i need to submit form 38/39. When i asked about self pickup they said it will be only after shipper send an email confirming the same. what should i do now
[Nexus 4 General] navino87:
TY.. does borderlinx provide no tax state address?? Guess ppobox provide NY address which is a Tax state And hopshopgo accepts shopping only through PAYPAL.. Is this true??
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
No borderlinx provides OH address. NY has highest tax. I think hopshopgo provides an OR address that's tax free.

On some sites you need to pay via paypal and paypal usually charges 1-2 rs higher than most banks.
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Does it? I heard that banks charge 3.5% higher than the exchange rate and Paypal charges higher than exchange rate but lesser thank the bank rate.
[Nexus 4 General] navino87:
So, using paypal is it like we end up paying even more than what we actually pay with borderlinx or ppobox which includes state tax?? Bcoz adding an increment of 1-2 USD in the conversion rate does make a huge impact..
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
there is not getting around this. contact hopshopgo. and ask them to to authorize a self pickup. @pratz had the same problem. ask him how it was solved
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
Do we require a road permit in Pune/Maharashtra?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
From what I've heard from friends, Paypal charges 1-2rs higher exchange rate then banks. I have so far only done one transaction using paypal and that was 2 years back so don't remember it.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
No. But you will be charged octori.

Paypal is always costly.They have high exchange rate while paying and very low while withdrawing.If you are using paypal to pay to drop shipping companies then i would say its waste as SNS(Shop and Ship) provides COD and they charge only 18$ up to 1kg.As of now nexus 4 is out of stock.I am waiting for it to go online.

Hi Guys,

Is declaring the product price enough on HopShopGo, or I will have to email them the invoice of the products I ordered (Nexus 4 + Poetic Bumper + Xtream Screen Guard)

Please hlep guys

[Nexus 4 General] berz:
on the right hand side when u click the product it will show seller details it will also show his city or else click on his name .

I just checked it for there is only sellfer form delhi , but its very price as its at 36 k and its bit u can contact him and offer 35 k as ebay takes 5 % for doing transcation thru them which he can save if its cash transation , so he might agree .

[Nexus 4 General] kirandanduprolu:
Called up DHL in the evening and though he said he wasnt sure, he mentioned the customs amount to be something around 4.2K.

The package contains Nexus 4, Bumper, Screen Guard and a Case of total worth 390.97$. The amount is like 19% of the total worth. I was expecting 2% on the mobile and 16% on the rest (mobile accessories).

Has anyone else faced similar problems with customs? Is the precomputed value different from the value after physical inspection?
[Nexus 4 General] exynoss:
MOD EDIT: Selling is not allowed.
[Nexus 4 General] Ankit Tulsian:
That's the main reason I prefer drop shipping companies. I bought kindle which was worth 15k.I paid 600 for customs and 1000 for shipping and all these where COD no prepayment.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
What was the item labelled as ? If it's labelled as cell phone, duty is 2% if by mistake it gets labelled as electronic item it attracts a 20% duty.

I ordered my phone via borderlinx and payed 2300 for shipping+customs+insurance. DHL said I need not pay anything extra.

Guys, i have bought extensively from USA - EBAY, & other sources. This is what i can confirm

a. Paypal Charges for USD transaction is usually lesser than what my credit card company (Standard Chartered/ AMEX/ ICICI) usually charge. Paypal conversion is the easiest way to buy

b. SNS charges $10/ 500 gms. & multiple thereof. (this is excluding taxes in India)

---------- Post added at 07:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ----------

How to BUY Nexus 4 from USA :

a. Use this thread for buying guide. - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1978281 ( For some people "hotspotsheild" software works.)

b. Use HOPSHOPGO for your purchase since their address is in Oregon where there are no taxes. However they charge more than SNS ($20 vs $10) for shipping.

Also SNS gets customs clearance etc faster compared to DHL which is used by HOPSHOPGO.

---------- Post added at 07:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

Also customs duty is abt 2%, however it might increse to abt 4% if you include clearing charges etc..
[Nexus 4 General] Ankit Tulsian:
They give you US address and you can ship your product there. I would suggest shopandship. Its an aramax owned and best in class.1kg price from US to India is 18$ excluding customs.Believe me they are pro in dealing with customs.
