So hopshopgo is slower than that?

( apart from the customs problem some faced, they also say similar delivery time, right?

If you are talking about buying when N4 next comes in stock, then yes. But my phone is with a friend,so thinking of using hopshopgo.

Now as we all know methods how we can get Device to india, Can anybody explain a way we can send it back to US for repairs as in case LG doesn't launch it in India???

Is there a service or Can we Just send it to LG or Playstore by couriers & they respond to us??? After service Do they couriere us back to India(I hardly think so)???

If the product damaged & u don't have a relative in US & LG doen't release it in India, are we pretty much screwed???
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
There are quite a lot imported handsets sold in Indian market with a warranty service by Serve Pro Warranty Services Pvt Ltd. I guess we have to pay some 1.5k for getting a one year warranty pack. In case of problem, we just have to drop it to their nearest service centre and they'll take care of the rest. More info on:

I have never tried this nor I know about the reliability of this company.

[Nexus 4 General] tatltael:
Does anyone know how long it takes for a package shipped from the US to reach India? I was thinking of asking a relative to send one over if the price and shipping time are reasonable.
[Nexus 4 General] Jundstars:
You can always get the quote and the transit time from the courier providers site.

Try UPS or FedEx.

The real cause for concern if you ask me would be the duty/customs. Any of you guys know anything about that?

Get Nexus4 16GB for 25k

So here are the details...

Here is a seller on ebay selling nexus4 16GB version for "$349".....

LINK

Get an US address by registering on myus.com for $10...

LINK

Then order the nexus4 from the above seller...

Total cost = $349+ $40(shipping to US address ) + $10(myus.com) +$60(shipping from us to india) = $459

$459 * 55.10 = INR 25291

NOTE: The shipping cost to US address isn't accurate and may vary....

Camera Quality

The quality is superior to that of the S2, however, it cannot match the low light performance and video quality of the S3.
[Nexus 4 General] :
No .... No Good news :( ...

I really have to think about sending it back. coz 15 days grace expired. .LG will only repair phone, Not replace. Repair can be done in india too

So i really have to make my mind on this...
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
I don't know about S2, but image/video quality is not as great as on the S3. The sensor itself is just as good, but Samsung's internal (proprietary, of course) image/video processing algorithm is what makes it so much better. I wouldn't blame Google though, because this is meant to be a developer phone, no point in investing heavily in optimizing camera.

Nexus 4 can do up to 20Mbps 1080p@30fps, maybe even more, but I haven't personally tried anything beyond that. Perhaps this thread is what you're looking for.

But seriously, why would you want to shoot at 40Mbps? That's like 300MB for a minute's video. 3GB for 10 minutes of video. That sounds a little too insane and unnecessary to me, especially considering the fact that Nexus 4 can't be expanded beyond 16GB of storage.

I think it'd be more economical and perhaps even quicker if you wait and get it serviced right here in India, especially considering that it probably won't be covered under your warranty if they happen to find out that the screw up was your fault. But do keep us posted, good luck!

Any updates about Google coming with more nexus 4 device ?

---------- Post added at 04:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:13 AM ----------

Hey folks i have generic question .Paypal is asking me to update my PAN which i already did but its not taking .Is it i have to mention my name as it apeears in PAN card and also trying to add my bank account but i have actual problem coz my PAN card spells my name little different

For Eg(if actual name is daniel smith but PAN card and bank details it says Daniel smyth so based on that if i try to update my PAN and bank details it says bank account does not match but my actual query is does really matter ?can i still use hopshopgo and borderlinx for making payment to ebay or other merchant?
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Yes, PayPal expects your name to be exactly the same on your account, on the PAN card and on the bank account.
[Nexus 4 General] depletion:
In that case it will be no harm to chnage my name which machtches with my PAN right after all it is just for purchase
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
You can do that, but name change is not a straight forward procedure on Paypal. A process is to be followed, which includes sending support documents for the changed name.

You can read more about it here.

The same thing happens with the Lumia 920 also :/ ...but if its just about the battery shouldn't it be a cheap and easy repair at the LG service centre?
[Nexus 4 General] :

It will cost too much... Maybe the motherboard needs a change

Ok.. This is a request. Maybe Not possible but still a hope.

Anyone has anyone in contacts that is going to USA in a few days...

Maybe it can help..

I don't know about sending something Abroad..

I think I will be charged to too much...
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
If you got it through hopshopgo then they offer an option of a international return pickup. This way you would be charged less than if you ship it yourself.

But the PITA here is customs. You have to declare that this is going out for repairs which would be FREE. Give out the original invoice. Some more things. Blah blah ..

Then when you get a new one...then import it with another note that it was repaired for free and state the original shipping receipt from India to USA.

If all goes to plan. There will be no customs charge as it is charged on the bill of repair.

[Nexus 4 General] :
Ok... Got it.. Will contact them

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] njankit:
Have you contacted play store about the possible repair? Read the Defects section, here. Give it a try, tell them that the phone drained the battery completely in two hours and stopped charging. If they buy this story, they will send you a new device and you will have to return the defective device in 21 days.

I guess, in this case just like in RMA you'll have to create a return label and send the defective device to them using UPS (or USPS). To do this you will require someone in US who can do this for you, you won't be able to do it from here.

And if they don't buy your story and refer you to LG, you'll have to confirm whether the LG service center in US accepts devices shipped to them internationally.

All in all I would say if you aren't getting a replacement from Google, I would suggest you wait 2-3 weeks for official launch here and get the device repaired locally.

I feel for you and I'm praying that google agrees to replace the device.

So finally after two full weeks of usage{i am still on stock rom,not at all rooted}..my impression about N4.

1) I have used Nexus 1 for almost 1.5 years,like N1 this one is also super fast,responsive

2) Screen quality is very good

3) Battery life is below average. 8-9 hours only for me

4) Camera performance is average, not satisfactory, i would say ok

5) Sound from external speaker is average

Well these are my honest views after using it for 13-14 days

Hi everyone,

Can any of you dear members help me with this purchase.

Thank you and I look forward to your kind responses.

Regards,

R K Gupta
[Nexus 4 General] rakeshvskanna:
i had that option unchecked, but its still the same. I cannot download the internet settings from vodafone as Nexus 4 is unsupported device in INDIA so they cant send the settings.
[Nexus 4 General] vikas_toad:
u might want to say which batch your nexus 4 belongs to?
[Nexus 4 General] njankit:
Are you able to browse internet on 2G? If yes then you neither need to configure any separate access point nor get internet settings from vodafone. Same settings will work over 3G. To check if you have 3G pack activated send 'DATA BAL' as sms to 111. You'll receive sms detailing your pack and the MB used.

Now if you don't already have the vodafone apn configured, then create a New Access Point with any name you want and APN as 'www'. Thats it, save it and select this access point.

Asking my friend to get the phone for me was easier.. After reading the stories here, I'm happy I went that route.

What I can say is that through phone is amazing. I got mine on Christmas morning and have loved it. No battery benchmarks but I've been using it rather heavily and it doesn't last a day (at least in the first two days). Once I return to office, I can check battery life against "normal usage" of my life. Should last me almost a day. I would like a wireless charger though.. :)

I walked into a Vodafone gallery and they gave me a new SIM within 5 minutes (not including the time taken to get to talk to the customer service representative). 30-45 minutes later, my old SIM lost network and a restart later, my new SIM had network.

Hello everyone, got my N4 yesterday, as a ritual, each of my phone goes straight to my root shop... done with rooting, xylon rom on matrix kernel with underclock to 1.2ghz hits the home run.. seeing the discharge rate i think it might last more than a couple of days with light use... I have always wanted the freedom of android with apple build and this is where the search ends...

I think the earpiece problem of tinny sound is there but the speaker is loud enough and dialling down the volume a couple of notches stops the problem entirely and still the voice is loud enough.. (unless you come from a batch of people who prefer listening to the other person from speakerphone!!)

With regards to the Nilkin cover listed above, the same thing is available from ebay.com for much less and they ship to india too. i have one on order too... Anyways i have got some accessories from US which should last...
