Every panwallah is selling case/screenguard etc for Iphone 5/Iphone4/4s etc.................but Nexus 4 has never been launched.in India.Only the bold & brave like us buy a phone for Rs 27000 with no service. so good luck finding phone or accesories in a physical store.

only online ebay merchants like this chap who ships the same day by DTDC.(based in Hyderabad but couriers to all over India same day if case ready stock & payment received till 6pm) There are many ebay sellers who say stock is in Chicago or Newjersey and sell under GEB(Global Easy Buy) & charge a lot more!!

If you dont want to join ebay ,pay direct by online banking & get rs 100-150 cheaper (ebay charges sellers 10% Plus for mobile accessories)

But atleast you can decide what you want by browsing all Nexus 4 covers/bumpers in one place and then walk the street of Delhi to find it.........:fingers-crossed:

Any help with this?
[Nexus 4 General] paragk:
Congrats. What amount did they quote you? When did you place your order?

I have also ordered Nexus 4 16 GB from iShopInternational yesterday and I got the quote of Rs. 22,885. They have sent a confirmation email that the product has been purchased. Now I am eagerly awaiting my Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
they quoted 22,885 for 16 gb? When I had checked, the quote was 24977. Did you use any promo code?
[Nexus 4 General] paragk:
I think I got a lesser quote because yesterday they were having a 50% off offer on shipping on the occasion of Gudi Padwa.

Also the forex conversion was $1= 55 INR for yesterday. Today it is Rs. 56. Today i am seeing a quote of 23,815.

A Pouch/Sleeve/Sock for the Nexus 4 with a Bumper

Hey guys!

I'm gonna be using my Nexus 4 with a Bumper. I would also like to purchase a sleeve/pouch/sock for the device.

Now, the original dimensions of the device are "5.27 × 2.70 × 0.36 in". I do not know the dimensions with a bumper.

I want to go in for a pouch/sleeve/sock that would fit the Nexus 4 along with a bumper.

My budget is Rs. 500, so leather is not my inclination.

But, faux leather, I don't want to go in for.

I was thinking more on the lines of neoprene/knit. Any suggestions?

So far, all my searches for such products for delivery within India haven't been very fruitful.
[Nexus 4 General] niraj30518:
Get a charger with output rating 5V/1.2A or above, the charging rate is decided by the o/p current, i currently use charger with an o/p of 2A, but i think it will harm the battery if we go further higher.

So charger rating with 5V/1.2A

Or 5V/1.5A Or 5V/2A is good.
[Nexus 4 General] JamesAnderson147:
Hi,

Can you tell me the complete process which you followed. I was following the process mentioned in the initial pages of this thread and ordered 2 phones, but my order was cancelled and this is what I got as a reason for cancellation.

"Thank you for using Google Wallet. Unfortunately, we were unable to verify some of the order details for the following order. As a result the order has been cancelled.

You may resubmit this order by visiting Google Inc. again. To help us verify the order details, we recommend that your billing and shipping addresses match what is on file with your bank, and that the phone number listed in your Wallet account is one where you can be reached by our specialists.

Google Inc. has cancelled your order. You have not been charged.

This order was likely canceled for one of the following reasons:

-Details provided for your credit card do not match those on-file with your financial institution.

-The address information provided was incomplete and could not be verified.

-To block an attempt to purchase more than the maximum allowable devices."

I ordered 2 nexus phones and 5 bumpers.

Awaiting a reply from you.

Thanks in advance.

Road block in buying from google

Hi everyone,

I have hit a road block in my quest to buy this fone. I ordered 2 phones and 5 bumpers(2 for me and 3 other for frnds who have got the fone but not bumper) but google cancelled my order citing below reasons.

"Thank you for using Google Wallet. Unfortunately, we were unable to verify some of the order details for the following order. As a result the order has been cancelled.

You may resubmit this order by visiting Google Inc. again. To help us verify the order details, we recommend that your billing and shipping addresses match what is on file with your bank, and that the phone number listed in your Wallet account is one where you can be reached by our specialists.

This order was likely canceled for one of the following reasons:

-Details provided for your credit card do not match those on-file with your financial institution.

-The address information provided was incomplete and could not be verified.

-To block an attempt to purchase more than the maximum allowable devices."

So here are my questions,

1. If I use my indian address(address registed for CC), I am not able to use it to buy the device. Also, it asks me to use the billing and shipping address as same matching address given in bank. How is this possible?

2. Is the number of devices, I am ordering are more? But, if I am able to add them to shopping cart, i think it should be fine.

3. I am buying through hopshopgo. What exact address I should use(including name), if anyone has ordered using hopshopgo address?

And best part is now even if I login through proxy, I am redirecting to indian page which says device not yet launched in your country.

Thanks in advance for help.

Tax & Shipping in Seattle?

I had asked a friend to order a Nexus 4 (16GB) & a Bumper for me from the Play Store.

He was able to place the order successfully & the device & the bumper had been delivered to him.

However, he's out of the city as of now & I'm unable to contact him.

Does anyone know the amount of taxes & shipping in Seattle for the Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] JamesAnderson147:
I added my card using indian address on google wallet.

When I login to playstore using my id, it opens the US site showing all prices in USD and then doesnot accept my card as the mode of payement.
[Nexus 4 General] tejjammy:
Yeah it does happen like that. While paying you have the option to add another card. Select that and then add all the details of your existing card with the address provided by your shipping company.

Hi I don't know will it work or not but try Google transliteration or Google or panini keyboard from playstore.
[Nexus 4 General] gupta.rajat7:
hanks everyone for sharing their experiences to help Nexus 4 lovers. I’ve a few questions and would appreciate if anyone could share opinion.

My friend in US had already bought Nexus 4 for through Google Play. He lives in New Jersey. Now, I’m considering options to get it shipped to Bangalore, India.

If I’m looking into direct courier options then Fedex and UPS quoting around ~$100, which seems to me pretty high.

From Parcel forwarding options, I’ve shortlisted the following:

PPObox – Got quote of $42 including shipping and customs duty. I believe my friend can locally handover them parcel to avoid domestic shipping cost. They ship through their own courier company ICC World and don’t have insurance more than $200

comGateway – Only quoting for shipping that comes ~$22. Customs I need to pay separately after before getting the parcel. My friend needs to ship it to their warehouse in Portland, OREGON which will cost additional ~$15 for domestic shipping. They ship through Fedex and have insurance to cover full value with 0.65% rate.

Borderlinx – No longer having option to pay customs charges upfront. Ship through DHL only. Gave quote of $41.3 including $10 of insurance protection. Customs charges I’ve to pay separately.

Now, considering all these available option I’m confused which one to choose. I’m more inclined towards PPObox and comGateway.

Could you please help me to choose cost effective and reliable option.

Appreciate your response.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
PPOBox is looking good... If I were you I would have gone with it.
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
I'll recommend going for comGateway. You could have saved sales tax and shipping charges by shipping directly to comgateway.

[Nexus 4 General] sulabhgupta:
I feel like this question must have been asked too many times. But let me ask, how easy is one-handed operation in this phone? I'm planning on buying this and right now i have an HTC Desire S which i purposely bought as it was 3.7 inch phone which fits nicely in the hand. How often do you find having to use both hands even when you didn't want to?

I need to buy a Nexus 4 8 GB.

However, while trying to order from google Play store, I got a payment failed/denied mail. So, what can I do for it?

Or, is there anyone who would sell in Kolkata for a maximum of ~Rs 22k? (Online sites work)

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] JamesAnderson147:
I created a new account with google as my old account is now configured for India even if I use vpn or anything of that sort.

Added my card in google wallet with indian address, went to google playstore, and then card was not considered applicable as payment mode(because of indian addres).

Went back to google wallet, changed the address to hopshopgo address but still could not buy the app as playstore was not accessed from this id before.

Logged in via this id on my current phone and downloaded a free app then went back to playstore(via phone) to buy an app but the transaction was cancelled with following comment from google " We have cancelled your order because your account is on hold."

Meanwhile, bought an app from playstore with my original id(which always directs me to india playstore) with the same card.

Any suggestion which can help me buy this phone. I was hoping that buying from google will be pleasant and I will be facing hassles on hopshopgo front. Moreover, this sort of hardships, are killing me bigtime. :(
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
Given that this phone is 4.7 and moderately thick, i don't think it's meant for one hand use. It's prone to fall.

Raspbean for minimal.

You can also get your otg working after flashing a kernel made by ziddy.

Nothing special really. I think I specified the package weight to be 0.5 pounds. I think I got the lower quote because they were giving 50% off on the occasion of Gudi Padwa.

Purchasing Nexus 4 using ICICI Debit card

Hey Guys,

I just made purchase of Nexus 4 today using my ICICI Debit card. The US address which i gave was from Hopshopgo.

Later got a message from the bank that an amount of 20k+ has been debited.

The status in Google wallet is like 'Your purchase is processing' & Shipping status in the mail is 'Ships by April 16, 2013'. Now the query i have is

1)Will a amount of $362.99 be debited again as i have made the purchase through Debit card.Is the issue still there now? After going through older forum messages I came to know about the Upfront charge i.e. initial Debit which means "The money is deducted from your account, but not yet claimed by the merchant, Google in this case".So When your device ships, they either claim the Authorized charge or make a new charge (they're only supposed to claim the authorized charge, but with all Indian cards it seems like they're making a new charge)

2)If the second debit happens for the Debit Card used How long will it take for the amount to get refunded?

3)If my order is cancelled in coming 2 days how long will it take them to refund the amount?? i.e. if i consider ICICI bank in my case what will be the Holding period for the amount . Anyone who had similar experience using ICICI cards their replies would be much appreciated :)

Thanks,

Har****

Dude I also ordered nexus 4 16Gb using ppobox address with SBI Credit card it's still showing me "your purchase is processing" ..from last 2 days

Well don't get surprised but our order will be cancelled, in my case I know it will be cancelled as per everyone's review on this.. :(

So you can try your luck
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
if you r shipping it along with the phone then it is worth it...

+6$ for shipping if ordered individually...not worth it...

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Yes since u ordered through debit card, u will be charged twice if ur order goes through as there is no "Authorized charge" concept in debit cards...

if it gets cancelled, the amount which is debited while placing the order will be returned within 15 working days i guess...

Kernel for Nexus 4

Please suggest a good Kernel

Some Options which looks good

1) Faux

2) Franco

3) Trinity

4) Matrix
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Franco mod by ziddey. If you want otg working
[Nexus 4 General] VipinKC:
I don't require the OTG.

I am not much into gaming and movies on my phone. It would be mostly emails, social networking sites and basic apps which would be running all the time.

So Franco Kernel or Faux 123 :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
I found battery better on Francisco as compared to faux.

Faux allows over clocking to 1.8Ghz though.

Yes, I used a micro sim cutter, and I am using that sim. When I will port to vodafone, I will ask for a ready to use micro sim :)

It happens all the time
[Nexus 4 General] NHarmonia:
How long do I have to wait for, before google ships to iShopinternational?

And, how long do they take to ship to india?

Also, if anyone is buying from iShopinternational, just tell them that if the price was at least Rs 500 left, you could have bought it. They easily offer discounts around Rs 500
[Nexus 4 General] mohitgalaxy3:
Okay I want to shed some light on vodafone problem with Nexus:

The sim I am using belongs to ahmedabad, I was using 3g there and it worked fine.

Then I came to Delhi(my hometown) to get my nexus 4, everything was fine there as well however 3g was little slow.

Then yesterday I fly to bangalore....in flight I put my nexus 4 on flight mode, when I reached bangalore I put the flight mode off, but it's not getting any network. I switched it off and on...fine it got the network.

Then I reached my cousin home here the main problem begins:

it lost the networks and I tried to select choose automatically, pop up comes cannot select network at the moment.

problem was it's getting 2 networks here one is vodafone_karnataka and another is Vodafone IN.

If I manually select vodafone_karnataka it's getting connected but with 2G only and very bad speed.

Sometimes it gets connected to Vodafone IN with 3G.

So solution is to avoid using vodafone with nexus in Bangalore.
