Oh ok then... I think freight charges will be less - probably Rs.200-500... Anyway argue with them that u have paid so much already & they should deliver without any extra charges... Good luck man... Hope u get it for a cheap price...
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
I am fine with freight charges if they are less, just worried about custom clearance. DHL said that it would take 2-3 days for clearance as custom officer would take a look at submitted documents and declarations whenever he feels like.
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Yeah sadly that's how our system works... Sometimes u need to bribe those officers even to let things go... They will be adamant & release as per their wish & whim...

Called The American Bzaar guys and they said that they shipped my phone via FedEx from MumbaI today and will come to me very soon :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Dude!! Wasn't your phone shipped on like 3rd or 4th of Jan?! Why have you still not received it?!

Oh and don't forget to make that unboxing and first impressions video. :)
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
DHL sent me following document with duty details

Does this mean I have to pay 10k for custom clearance!!! :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
It clearly says duty payable is Rs. 4603 right? "Freight charges" probably includes the shipping fee you paid HSG.
[Nexus 4 General] Maxxxxxxxxxx:
those are to be paid by HSG not you just say them it was all included in what you paid :)
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
Are you guys sure I just have to pay 4603? I paid only $40 (Rs.2300) to HSG for shipping. The freight charges in the document are above 5k. How come? I tried contacting DHL for carification, but seems their office hours are over. they are not picking up the phone. DHL told me in the morning that I will have to pay freight and insurance charges.
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
why are you being charged 12% for the phone. Shouldnt it be 2 to 4 %... Try asking them
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
I'm pretty sure that's not something you need to pay, don't worry about the technicalities. All you need to pay is Rs. 4603, and you can rest easy once you confirm this with DHL.

What number did you call them on? Their support lines are open 24x7. I had called at 2am once. 1800111345. Call again.
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
I was directly calling their Mumbai office. I was talking with the person who was forwarding me all these docs. Lets see I will them tomorrow again.
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
awesome thread guys....i am planning to gift a Nexus 4 to my girl friend on her birthday next month.....is there anyway i can get the phone except from the play store..since its always out of stock there:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
12%+4% = 16% duty! No idea. Will ask them.
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
hope they rectify. It will save you at least 2k

Hello,

Can You Tell Me If The Link For Ebay.in is trustable cuz many of my frnds told me that ebay isnt trustable so just asking please help me :)please please please

Thank you sir

Hey Guys another great way to bye this product...

Negri electronics is a great & much reliable estore with reasonble pricing (Negri is even recomended by xda)... They ship it to any international location...

I will tell u steps on how to get LG Nexus 4 16gb for 27.5 k from Negri Electronics...

1. Go to this link & click on preorder.... http://negrielectronics.com/lg-e960-nexus-4-16gb-unlocked-black.html#.UK6jLu4-jvx - 448.50$

2. Go to your cart (top right of screen)...

3. Scroll down & choose country, state & ur pincode... Press get quote...

4. Choose FedEx Economic shipping (which is cheapest but may take more time to deliver) & update total - 57.95$

5. Now add this 10$ off coupon & Apply - 10offsite

6. So now the price of device comes to 496.45$ = around 27.3 - 27,5 k according to exchange rate...

7. So this would be another good way to buy considering prices on ebay are high...

8. Optionally - They even provide u their own warranty for 1 or 2 years but u have to pay a premium for it, incase u want it...
[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
Sir,

Please check the first post.

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 General] sids911:
What about the customs taxes?
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Custom fees is taken care of by fedex shipping... See there, it has charged u about 57.95$...
[Nexus 4 General] saurabhgangarde:
Why do you think grabmore is unreliable ?
[Nexus 4 General] procoder:
if ebay is not trustable there is an option to pick it up.

[Nexus 4 General] Dhwanik:
guys i need ur help

my cousin is studying in new York and he will be coming to India on 21 December

so their is no chance of him getting nexus 4 from play store

is there any other place from where he can buy it???

but cost should be less then 400$
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Check out ebay.com or craigslist. But I doubt you'll be able to find any deal of less than USD400.
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Have you ordered from Negri Electronics? Has anyone here?
[Nexus 4 General] Dhwanik:
i mean any physical store selling nexus 4 in New York???
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
The only brick and mortar store where it was available for sale was the T-Mobile store. But they are sold out now as well.
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Misleading. The coupon is for $10 off, not 10% (which would be around $50) off. Sigh.
[Nexus 4 General] Dhwanik:
:( :'(

then there is no way i can get nexus 4

my max budget was 23k inr

:(
[Nexus 4 General] R3ACTOR4:
Nice. but may I ask, that with the tons of problems device is having overall, yellow-tint, rattling sound, touch responsiveness, etc, how much should we buy it for... I mean, I am just being a little skeptical now.

Is it worth anything above 22-23k?

Just a question.
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
No... But they have a great record with respect to the electronic goods shopping... Even xda forum guys recomended negri... Just google about them, u will find a tons of reviews & ratings about them...

Yeah sorry for that... But the price that I've mentioned is correct... Just have put % instead of $ while typing... :cyclops:

U know its a big debate & its each individual perspectives in deciding the goodness... For me its awesome... The yellow tint is present in Iphone, htc one x & many xperia phones also... I had a galaxy s2 which had a blue tint (usually all amoleds have a slight blue tint & lcds have yellow tint), so that doesn't bother me... Rattling is becuase of some technology in camera like the autofocus or something... Its been explained in that rattling thread, Even i had seen the same rattling thing in Lumia phones review video which they later explained that it was actually a camera technology involved... So its individual perspectives... If those things bother u then u might look for other options... But i assure u won't be happy with any of those devices with respect to software updates, services & surprises from google...

[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Bro, bank discounts are mentioned right there in the check out page. :eek:

Anyway, when is your device going to arrive? Did you speak to the customer care? I tried calling numerous times and holding for over 15 minutes but never got connected to a CSR. x( Decided not to buy from someone like that, especially when they list the item as "In Stock" - they're clearly lying.

Hi guyz nexus 4 has been priced too high in india .

My friend lives in canada and he is trying to buy so he can send me by dhl .

But its out of stockk

Plz help me buying this phone
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Apart from Play Store, the only option is ebay India or US. You can find N4 for around $400-$450 and in India you can find it for 33k-36k.

Ordering from Play Store and importing to India costs about 24k max.

If you have deep pockets and can't wait, get one from ebay.in. If not wait till Play Store starts taking orders again.
[Nexus 4 General] ReValeX:
sorry if I insist ..I just would know whether or not there is a solution to solve this little problem. is annoying :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
My N4 is past customs :D. DHL says it'll be around Rs 800, which is a huge relief. They'll be forwarding it to Bluedart now for some reason.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
DHL has majority stake in blue dart. It's their own company. I think DHL doesn't service Goa directly hence handing it off to Blue dart for last mile delivery.

Guys I got my Nexus 4 yesterday :D big thanks to DHL even tho it was a holiday they were operating in Mangalore :D I had to pay only Rs.523 to DHL for customs :) My total cost of getting it was around 22.5k :) As for the device its just mind blowing :) Absolutely no issues even my calls are fine and no static noise :) ..but I can feel the device getting warm ...maybe cuz its glass ...not burning hot or something but just warm...anyways thanks a lot for all your help and hope all of you get your hands on this beast soon ;)
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Received my Nexus 4 just now :D. Customs cost was Rs 842 for Phone+Screen Protector+Case, which is very reasonable. Noticed no issues as of yet, don't want to notice any either :P.

The phone is absolutely extraordinary. I cannot express how it feels in my hand. I mean, it's miles, I repeat, MILES better than the S3 in terms of feel. The S3 seems like a cheap plasticky toy in front of this. I think I just came.
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
can anyone post any links to buy it from US 16gb version contract free....
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
Finally got my nexus 4. Praying not to find a empty box...

Edit: it isn't empty.

Btw I paid Rs.916 as customs.

Edit 2: I think have the overheating issue. Will have to see how it fairs with custom kernels.:o

Edit 3: the optic bumper really sucks. Have to put twice the pressure to press the power button.

Anyone else having same issue?

thats too much...max i can give is 24k have to wait for the play store...thanks
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
The cost for importing N4 to India from US comes to around 22.5-24k. No one will sell it at cost on ebay.

You will never see the price dip below 25k for a new handset.The only option is to order it yourself when it come back in stock.

I am ready even ready to pay 25-27 but still not available had asked on other forums but no one is to sell that low coz stupid people are buying at 34-35k
[Nexus 4 General] berz:
Aren't really stupid for many more than getting the phone is stock issues because its almost impossible to actually order the phone .

and for many its just simple question of this or S3 note 2 or onex , And which ever way u look at it if u arent bothered about expandable storage n4 trounces all those phones in specs and software so for many its its a simple reasoning between this or that it doesnt matter what the original cost of the phone is because it isn't readily available.

You can count the number of people who have got the phones here via play store with dropship methods but there are a lot more people who want the device.

PS: it wont drop in price because shipping phones in india via courier is close to impossible if u arent one of the companies , and ebay takes a good chunk of the cash which is like 1.7 to 2 k depending on how much u sell for .

so 1k for shipping 2k for ebay comes up to almost 29 30 k with other expenses why would anyone sell it for 1 k profit after going thru so much hassel of geting the phone ???

Regards

I really recommend HopshopGo or Shopandship instead of ppobox. The following email to their support team should explain why
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
As berz said, it's a simple question of which one to buy S3, Note II or N4.Most people don't want to go through

the hassle of using package forwarders/VPN. Many don't have a credit card or a card which works on Play Store.

I have seen N4 priced around 32-34 go easily, there are some outrageously priced around 48k which haven't seen

buyers as of now.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
I guess you're talking about the listing on eBay. That seller himself says not to buy. When it's in stock, he reduces the price to 30k and the listing lasts only for 15 - 20 mins, till the stocks last. I was in touch with this seller to buy, but unfortunately I had not received the refund from cart2india.

But I'm happy I didn't buy as a friend in US got one for me for 24k.
[Nexus 4 General] berz:
exactly a lot of them dont like the risk of buying online many of them contacted me on my ebay listing and just came home paid cash and picked it up , main reason many quoted were its not in stock at all and everyone of them knew the its 350 in usa.

and also u have to realize when shipping more than one phone we cant use forwarding services and regular shipping is insanely costly and some times customs can be real pita dealing with them is a nightmare done it once personally and never want to do it again .
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
It was shipped on friday night so they shipped from usa to mumbai on monday. Then they again received it on this friday and are shipping on monday so i will receive by wednesday.

[Nexus 4 General] depletion:
Hey folks ,

Lastweek i purchased N4 from amazon after the prodcut was shipped i asked few questions to the seller and he was tentative about me giving disatisfaction and he iniitiated the refund,problem is amazon says my bank has decline the refund (credit card on monday)but bank says though it was not a business day still they don't have an option to stop or decline the refund.Amazon said they cannot resend the refund but they can send me a check to india which will take 10-14 bussiness days.First cart2india issue now amazon issue .
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
very sad :(
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
from where will the cheque be sent? If its outside India, say a BIG no. Force them to retry putting the money in the card. Or bank transfer maybe. Cheques usually dont each the addressee most of the time..
[Nexus 4 General] demon507:
I got my nexus device today.. And I'm loving it...

I got out for 22k including everything...

Dhl shipped it in 4 days only including Saturday and Sunday.. Very happy with dhl service....

No issues...

Thanks XDA community....
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
I suspect you're being scammed. Amazon doesn't send checks. Refund doesn't go to Amazon, it goes directly to the card you paid with.

Recheck the emails you think you have received from Amazon. I'm pretty sure they're not from Amazon, it's probably just the scammer pretending like it's from Amazon.

If the emails still seem to be from Amazon and you don't find anything fishy, I would suggest you to call up Amazon customer support (on the phone number listed on their site) and speak to them just to verify.
[Nexus 4 General] krrishvaid:
Where did u get it from
[Nexus 4 General] depletion:
I has a chat with them and the rep said about two hours ago they submitted refund again this time no decline message cam and rep asked me to check with the bank after sometime .
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Buddy, u sure can't catch a break. If my friend blackberry hadn't gone kaput I'd have sold my 3rd nexus to u at cost.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Don't worry, nothing will go wrong. Amazon is one of the most reputed online shop in the world, even better than eBay.

Please don't remind us of cart2india again. I'm trying to get over those days of struggle :eek::silly:;)

My No Nonsense Review.

OK guys here is my review for this phone. I didnt want to post anything about it till i have used the phone for atleast a month and get a hand of all things which are good and bad.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Its good looking and will add to your "exclusive" value in your friend circles if that is the only reason you are buying this phone. But if you got this phone to upgrade from Galaxy S(my old phone), its a HUGE improvement. Now if you saying that this is an upgrade from your already bought S3, then not so much.

GLASS AROUND -The Ugly Truth

I am using this phone accepting one prophecy "YOU/YOUR GF WILL DROP THIS PHONE AND IT WILL BREAK". See now, it would be less painful in the future if it happens. I have accepted this as the ugly truth. So get some screen protector (i use gadgetshieldz.in wet application front and back) . And get some good TPU, back covers or bumpers. I am thinking flip covers will be the best if you want to be secure but i am not a big fan of opening the damn cover to see notification which generally happens every 5 min.! Sure these may not be drop proof but not maintaining a 20k investment is being plain dumb

BUZZING EARPHONE

Some people have some people dont. I thought I didnt had it the first few days. But after continuous usage i do get it. Its faint. I also hear a crack/pop sound with i change some music in between or change between your sound selection quickly in the sound menu. But they are faint and not a problem

BATTERY

Nothing much to say here. It gives me a full work day, thats it

FINAL THOUGHTS

For a total input of just Rs21500 ( not considering the profit on selling the other N4 :) ), I think this is the best buying decision i have made in phones

I don't know why, it seems that I am being repeatedly unsubscribed from this thread. [ Happened for the fourth time] . I keep checking for updates on all threads, and after a day or two , get puzzled that I don't get any updates from this thread and go here manually to find out tons of updates.!!

Anyone else having this issue?

Congrats dude!! Too bad that you are having the buzzing issue, but I guess it is not that high to be annoying,but still.

@All,

I have been trying the various kernels available here. Since, I'm on Wi-Fi all day and have now switched to manual brightness [using the slider ala touchwiz 3.0 courtesy cyanogenmod 10.1], I am getting great battery life.[ This phone is very bright, 20% is enough for most situations with 60-80 for outside use] Screen on time is consistently above 4 hours with all the kernels I tested [with 25-30% battery remaining!], that too with huge kernel wake locks [which drains the battery :( ] . Of course, I am trying UV along with underclocking to see whether it makes much of a difference.

So far, faux's intellidemand governor seems to perform really well in terms of battery. [ no stutter that I can see, but have been mostly browsing/youtube/reddit/tapatalking] . Got more than 1 hrs 40 mins screen on with just 20% battery drain. Needless to say, this is something which I could have only dreamt of in my older S2.

Anyways, another cool feature is the sweep2wake and double tap2wake available via the soon to release touch control app. [ Tried kernels supporting sweep2wake, but they don't work as well. Had more wakelocks and problems with phone staying awake lots of the time, not to mention 2-3 swipes needed to activate the screen].

Anyways, cheers guys. Hope everyone of us will get this beautiful phone soon!!

Requesting those who have recently got their Nexus 4s without the buzzing sound or any other issues, post your build number. I believe there is some unit/model number or manufacturing number as well.

Let's zero down on the problem.
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
I am very sure that the people who are claiming that buzzing is not present have just not experienced it. Initially i also thought that there is no buzzing in my unit but later i realized there is this very very faint buzz and is only audible when you press your phone hard against your ear in a dead silent zone. It does not bother me at all as it practically not noticeable. I firmly believe that buzzing issue is very much present in all N4 units. Some have it very faint like mine and some have it loud.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
I tried pressing my earpiece to my year in a silent room. No buzzing.Which hw revision is yoru phone?

I know 2 other N4 owners, one has hw rev 10 and said he has buzzing after talking for more than 30mins.

Me and the other guy have hw rev 11 and no buzzing at all.

I have not seen too many issues with batches that started shipping around new year with hw rev 11.
