how much comgateway chrge ?do they offer other payments apart from paypal?
[Nexus 4 General] :
It will take around 1 day for all the formalities

Ok .. So what HSG does is that once you make them payment, they book a Collection request on DHL. DHL immediately will provide them a Tracking Number which they will update and email you. You will be able to track the item but actually they have not picked that up.

Picking up only happens later.So some might say that DHL is not updating their website, what happened to my package etc etc..
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Check out their cost calculator here. You can check rates for different weights and different shipping options (Standard and Express). 1 Nexus 4 should be just around 0.5kg. If you're unlucky, it'll be logged as 1kg.

HopShopGo accepts only Paypal, but Paypal is not a requirement if you're using comGateway. comGateway accepts Paypal as well as debit/credit cards for payment.

Just delivering the phone from US to India( Bangalore )

I was supposed to come back from US on 24th Dec 2012 ( Had ordered N4 on 27th with 3-4 weeks wait time), got the Phone on 2nd Jan ( at my friend's house). My question is - Is there any service which will deliver the package from US to India?

I know about these services - "Hopshopgo / comgateway / PPOBOX / borderlinx" which will give the US address and then ship it to India ( or any other place - To india, their charging 20$ - Pretty frugal price ) - but, in my case - I only need the Package ( already bought) to India. I thought i'll ask the XDA community for help.

Another question is, will the Customs apply tax on if I use such services ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Vivek
[Nexus 4 General] yoshimitsu1234:
If you use courier services then it will cost you over $100 to ship it back to india. It's preferable to use ppobox yo deliver it back to india as it's much cheaper and reliable.
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
On their site they say that they use ICC Worldwide or Fedex, but do you know if they have actually used Fedex for anyone's order?

Bumper and screen guard received.

Received the poetic borderline bumper and screen protectors today which I ordered from eBay.

Now waiting for my nexus to arrive:p
[Nexus 4 General] mrigeshgaurav:
By any chance did you order xtremeguard screen protectors? How many days did it take for delivery?

Mine was shipped on 27th Dec via USPS, last update was on 30th Dec from new York airport. No update since then :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
I had ordered XtremeGuard screen protectors directly from their website on the 12th of December, it shipped on the 13th and I received it on 26th. But the USPS tracking says it is still in Jamaica. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] mrigeshgaurav:
Ok. Mine also says Jamaica which is actually an airport around NYC. So going by your record I should get it sometime early next week. Thanks.

Courier or Packaging service?

I was supposed to come back from US on 24th Dec 2012 ( Had ordered N4 on 27th with 3-4 weeks wait time), got the Phone on 2nd Jan ( at my friend's house). My question is - Is there any service which will deliver the package from US to India?

I thought i'll ask the XDA community for help. Should I ask my friend to Courier or send it via such services?, from what i've read - the Customs applied for these services is ~1000Rs. Will the customs be applied on the courier also ??

Please suggest a best way to get my N4 from US to India?, the agony of the wait has become unbearable.. :( .. :P ..

It's already been a week since the phone's been delivered, still trying to find ways to get it to Bangalore.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My nexus 4 battery is really disappointing. Any fixes for that.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Franco kernel or the kernel by faux alongwith undervolting? Heard it improves battery backup.
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Frankly, I'm sick of S-line TPU cases. They've been floating around ever since Nexus 4 was released, and on some Chinese sites they sell for a dollar each, which might explain why everyone wants to sell those. I'd recommend going for Diztronic, Rearth or Nillkin. All 3 seem really good, and I can personally vouch for Diztronic because I'm extremely happy with it.

Try franco's kernel. Try undervolting.
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
For those of you who've ordered via HSG/ComGateway, how long did the package take to reach you? Do mention whether it was Standard or Express.

[Nexus 4 General] yoshimitsu1234:
You have to pay it to the courier guy.
[Nexus 4 General] Mindfreak14:
I think comGateway's warehouse is in tax free state ..meaning it shud cost 363$ ..then standard shipping to India 20$ for 0.5 kg ..and lastly cost for clearing & customs at indian airport to be paid to delivery guy at the door! ..I believe this shud be the cheapest way to get it here! Can any confirm this or correct me if i'm wrong plzz!?!

Also any who has successfully used comgateway..plzz share ur xperience ..hw much time did it take? how was it packaged? was tracking n all working correctly?

Thnx :)

I have no idea how to do all that. Any easier alternative? I :o

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:07 AM ----------

I used CGW. Yea its in a tax free state. So it cost me 363. CGW charged me 26$. DHL charged me 1150rs(customs, and handling, etc.) at delivery. I used express shipping (using a promo code) and got it in 9 days. It was supposed to reach me in 5 days. I was still happy as I got the phone earlier than expected. my waiting period from Google was 5-6 weeks but it was sent to me on the first week itself. :):) the tracking was also good. CGW seems to be the cheapest and easiest to use. Cheers

HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED. :D:D
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
No other alternative. Try using some app like Better Battery Stats and see what app is taking up the battery.

No it gives Ohio which has around $24 tax. I ordered via it cause when I ordered there wasn't much info about other forwarders and there were couple folks claiming they had used borderlinx and it was reliable.

My total came to $425 around.
[Nexus 4 General] zubin111:
I have owned gnex too with currently having s3 and N4, if you are running an optimized setup on gnex, i dont think there is much difference between them,this is also because gnex development has reached an optimal level whereas N4 is just starting out...
[Nexus 4 General] :
I will be receiving my Nexus 4, along with a Poetic Atmosphere case, on the 12th. Before you ask, I'm pretty much a noob. My last phone's a Nokia 5230! I have a normal SIM and I've been wondering how to get it cut into a micro-SIM. Is ordering a SIM cutter the best option? If yes, then is ebay the best place to order it from? Are there are any shops (Reliance Digital for example or small mobile shops - the ones that sell cheap phones and accessories) that do it? I will even need to paste the screen protector - I will first need to order it, though. I tried pasting a screen protector on my old phone twice and turned the phone's screen into a bubble wrap, so I don't want to risk it. Is it best I go to one of those mobile showrooms and get both these things done? How do you people usually do it? Thanks in advance for your replies.
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
Microsim -> walk to your nearest airtel or vodafone store , get a pre cut microsim - its neat and takes 20 minutes.

Screen guard -> I bought a few - this one was the neatest, its full body protect plus has 25% off , but its wet application.

3- How much time it takes to reach my house once the product reaches india(approximate info will be helpful).

Why do you want to buy another travel adapter? The adapter provided in the box should be sufficient.

It is just enough to order 2 devices from Play Store.
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
I would suggest dont order both the nexus together...

Place a different order for each nexus. This way at-least one nexus will complete the payment (If charged twice out of which one will one be holding charge)

Btw the charge of one phone, if ordered to tax free state comes to about 369USD (around less than 20K) + shipping to India extra 25 to 30usd if ordered via Hopshopgo :)

[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Attached.

Agreed, DHL customer support is very good. FedEx, even though they delivered in 2.5 days including weekend what took DHL 8 days including weekend, doesn't have the best customer support service. They're closed on weekends and are open on weekdays from 9 to 6.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Here you go. This was via borderlinx.

The only delay was customs in Delhi and that too since it reached on Saturday afternoon which is half day and got cleared on monday.

Customer service is really good. I called asking if I can know the time my N4 will be delivered and they directly gave name/number of the guy who was going to deliver.

All others I've interacted so far tell you they'll get back after checking in half an hour and no one does.

Called up DHL customer care and they confused me even more. They said the package was never sent to Belgium or Germany. It was sent to UK from and USA and now it is in transit to Mumbai. :eek:

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Ordered via DHL, phone was opened. Only few people who got their phones via aramex have said their phones were un-opened.

DHL told me it's required by law to physically inspect each imported electronic item.

[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Doesn't borderlinx charge you customs beforehand? There customs charges are included in their shipping charge

Borderlinx charges $10 for safetylinx which takes care of this. i didn't pay duty for both my phones too.
[Nexus 4 General] abbey4u:
i don't think safetylinx takes care of custom charges, its a simple insurance. If you go to cost calculator they will mention custom and safetylinx charges as a seperate head
