LTE on Nexus is useless says LG...

[Nexus 4 General] haxor:
Nexus 4 won't not support USB OTG.

[Nexus 4 General] anshumandash:
Will it support mtp?

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
yeah definitely...
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
I think USB OTG problem will be fixed after an update and are xda developers will surely make this support in their custom roms.
[Nexus 4 General] Mohit12:
From reading the article I got that it lacks an amplifier, which probably explains why the signal of 4G is weak as compared to 3G or EDGE.

For example, check this video out :

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXOY9EVZ4vA

Notice how his LTE signal falls to just about 2 bars or so.

Anyway. It just lacks an amplifier. If the signal is strong enough, we don't need the amplifier. I don't know what (TDD or FDD) Tikona uses in their 4G network so I'm not sure if it'll work with this phone. Also I don't know how strong their signal will be.

Hm. Thanks for this. It makes sense now.
[Nexus 4 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Hey guys check my query of page no.53 :

Reply guys.
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
I agree... we might get 4g working with a custom rom but with a buggy modem & low network coverage... Any way, its a long way to go for 4g to get a decent coverage, as far as many cities in India are concerned... By then we would be having the next Nexus phone ;)... & hope is that we get that phone easily through playstore in India & not like we whirled about now... :D
[Nexus 4 General] Mohit12:
If I'm buying this phone, I'm keeping it for at least 3-4 years. I can barely afford phones of this price (~25k) and I certainly can't afford to change them every year. It's one of the reasons I want a Nexus. Guaranteed updates. And with the hardware that this phone boasts, it'll surely be able to run several more Android versions.

I'm sure there are others like me and that is why LTE is a factor influencing my decision to buy.

On a side note, has anyone from India got their phone? Are they facing any issues like call drop or random network losses?
[Nexus 4 General] saj2001ind:
why should ppl going to use it in india worry about LTE....3G is not working at its full speed in india and wont for at least 2-3 years...foget about LTE comming any time soon

Guys i have just one question- What would someone do if the phone comes damaged. Has anyone received a damaged ohone or is it safe enough to order through comgateway/ppobox?
[Nexus 4 General] mukuntharajaa:
My order was cancelled. They have cancelled it on monday while verifying the account details with shiping address. Even in this case will it take only 2 days to credit back ?
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
So u will be having ur valentine then !!! Lol... :D
[Nexus 4 General] mukuntharajaa:
Did they debit your Canara Bank debit card for auth hold ??? Did you get it back without any hassle ?
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
Ordered on Feb 1.

I ordered on Feb 1, the expected date is Feb 13.

As for the micro-sim issues, I have already owned a Nexus 4, and all I did was go the nearest Airtel Customer Care centre (in the IT park where I work) and have them cut it. Total time: 5 minutes (most of it spent walking to the centre :P). Nothing else was required. The outline of the card they return to you, and you can use that outline with the cut card if needed as a regular Indian sim. Probably most smartphone stores also have cutters. Buying one is a waste of time and money.
[Nexus 4 General] mukuntharajaa:
Did they charge you anything for that :p
[Nexus 4 General] ArchitSP:
Is it necessary to get your Nexus delivered directly to HopShopgo's US address?

Hello Guys, :)

I need a li'l advice from you.

My brother in US purchased a Nexus 4 for me through Play Store on 31 Jan. Now in a hurry to get the phone before it runs out of stock I told him put his address for delivery (that's New Orleans).

Now can anyone tell me that if my brother ships it to hopshopgo's address, will it be rejected?

Is it necessary that the phone should come to them directly?

& which is more reliable for delivery in Bangalore? PPOBOX, MyUS or HopShopGo?

Thanks.

Waiting for your reply:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] X0LARIUM:
The phone is with my brother. My pick is BorderLinx. Hopefully customs won't be a problem.

What do u guys say?
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
The Humble Bundle payment was to a third-party site (and my Canara Bank debit card isn't international), so there were no charges - the payment simply failed. Auth hold didn't apply there. As to the auth hold payment for the Nexus 4 this time from my CitiBank card, I'm still waiting for updates.

Unfortunately CitiBank suspects fraud.:eek: I had lost my old sim, and I changed my account's contact number, and then paid for the Nexus a couple of days later. They emailed me to call 'em and confirm since the mobile number was changed, and I'll do so today. I hope that doesn't cause any problems. At any rate, if the refund doesn't come before the phone is shipped, I'm screwed.

Nope. :angel:
[Nexus 4 General] mukuntharajaa:
Can you PM me your mobile number. I am also in same situation. I am trying to contact Citibank customer care and they have no clues about this.
[Nexus 4 General] cordlessbrain:

Did you standard shipping or the express shipping?

How much more will it cost?

While my order is still in preorder state, I am thinking of ordering few more things on my hopshopgo address

The things I am thinking about is

An earphone

2 different type of phone bumpers/cases

And a wireless inductive charger for n4

And a screen guard for it (almost weightless)

My question is that adding all those thing and repacking all of them including nexus 4 , how much more will these product contribute in shipping cost from hopshopgo?
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Not more than a business day. They shipped my N4 same day of the payment. rally impressed. I made the payment on 28 Dec and got the phone in my hand on 01 Feb (THE ESTIMATED date of delivery) :D

I'm loving it ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
Let me clear you on that with what i know.

HSG does not offer repackaging as such. It is offered only when the difference between volumetric weight and actual weight is > 2kg.

For example, my phone+bumper 's actual weight is 0.5kg whereas volumetric weight was 0.87kg => Hence not eligible for repackaging and I was charged for 1kg.

You can consolidate multiple packages into one shipment and ship to save on shipping charges. But i am not sure if the same above logic (for repackaging) applies same or in a different way when multiple packages are involved.
[Nexus 4 General] mdaamir1989:
WELL !!! This is my first post on the Nexus 4 forum :) Very excited about the device.

Order date - 31st january

Got a mail from Google Play that the order has been shipped . Have ordered the device through my colleague at work who sadly returns back on March 1st first week . Gotta wait till then :( Cant wait to enjoy the beauty :)

Cost me exactly 20481.51 INR :)
[Nexus 4 General] ShankyJain:
What shipment company did u choose?
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
Shipped!

I called CitiBank. They gave the same littany about how auth hold works only for credit cards. They said that they can give no update on refunds and that I'll have to contact Google. But just now I checked Google Play and it says:

Google Inc. shipped your order. Have questions? Contact Google Inc..

5 Feb

Google Inc. charged your MASTERCARD xxx-6612 for USD382.98. "GOOGLE *Devices" will appear on your billing statement.

5 Feb

Google Inc. shipped your order.

Track UPS package No. 1Z7XXXXXXXXXXXX6

I checked my account online and it showed no extra activity on my card yet.:victory: I had ordered early on Feb1 with a HSG address. (Of course, the UPS tracking no is not activated yet, but that takes time.)
[Nexus 4 General] cordlessbrain:
Express shipping??
[Nexus 4 General] legolas85:
Seriously google shipping order made after 31st Jan also now ???? ...what the hell....people here with orders from 29th and 31st Jan have still not got it...whole thing seriously sad and frustrating....
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
It is sad

It is sad, but they have been messing up since day 1 of Nexus 4's release. I didn't expect it to ship till next week atleast. To be fair, the time I ordered it in IST was still 31st Jan by Google's watch.
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
Finally I got my shipment notice now :D

Ordered on 29th, received by google on 31st, shipment updated today (feb 5), shipping to HSG.:cool:

Should i opt for comGateway or HopShopGO? My PAN verification on PayPal is still pending. Will there be any difference in my costs?
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
Bro, you should also get it shortly, as long as your payment has no issues.

Check the order status on wallet and see if it is not cancelled; if it is not, you should be fine.,

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 PM ----------

Go with comgateway if your paypal account is pending....because both hopshopgo and comgateway are the same company.
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
I was in the same situation as you. But when I checked about 12 hours ago, both the UPS tracking was updated, AND my card had been charged. I believe that you'll be eventually charged too. Google have your card details. That'll make sure they charge you. :)

Interesting. My last update was Destination Scan.

shipping forwarder

Those who are planning to buy N4, and mulling over to choose from shipping forwarder, after getting my N4 today afternoon from PPOBOX, I can really vouch for PPOBOX as they are fastest forwarder and also safest. My phone came sealed condition, no hassle with them, no need to mail them any invoice etc..

(This my personal opinion, cause I dint use any other forwarder and I am satisfied with PPOBOX )

Here is screenshot of my New nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] alex40:
The 24 hrs limit is for using the card. The limit is not for merchant for claiming the amount.

Merchant has more time limit than the person who purchased or using the virtual CC. That is reason the card expiry date is shown 2-4 months later.
[Nexus 4 General] legolas85:
I am using PPOBOX itself. My order(booked on 31st Jan) is shipped to PPOBOX today. shipping address should nt be a problem. Many ppl in this forum used PPOBOX and got it successfully.
[Nexus 4 General] alex40:
I got this information from OPs

If it's HDFC vcc,

you can check it as follows:

Login to netsafe -> click on 'All Accounts/Services' ->

Click on 'Txn Details'.

If it's showing 'Merchant Name' and status as 'In Use' means, payment was done and amount is blocked. The merchant can claim the amount any time.

I hope this information helps.;)
[Nexus 4 General] ckranjan:
yes it is showing merchant name "Google* Devices" and status as in use. what you said is correct. I am only worried because it written on google support page that they dont accept VCC otherwise there is no difference in functioning of VCC and regular cards.

Does anyone purchased any accessories from eBay or amazon and ship them to your hsg address? I got a small problem here. HSG sent me a mail that I have received some package from US MERCHANT. when I checked the invoice it says " two black iphone cases". Actually I have ordered two poetic black bumper cases from eBay. They were shipped through usps first class courier and they made an attempt to deliver them on Saturday. Unfortunately hsg won't work on Saturday and they kept a note saying business was closed. I am not sure whether they have delivered the products or not. What are the options I have right now?

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
VCC's are usually single use. i.e only one txn is allowed. When registering the card with Google, it does a txn of $1 for verifying the card. This causes the card to expire and when Google tries to charge for phone it fails.

Re : PPO Box Transit Time

Has your tracking ID been activated ? I am assuming that your package would reach PPO Box NY Address by 7-8 Feb. PPO Box would ship the item to India in about 24 hours, assuming that it is a working day. Maybe a day or two for customs + delivery. Hopefully, it should be in your hands by 13 or 14th Feb.

I am waiting for mine too. Using PPO Box & just received the Blue dart tracking number. Google shipped it on 31-Jan, reached NY on 2-Feb, received PPO Box invoice on 4-Feb.
