As of now, even virtual credit cards of India are not working. But you may try your luck as one or two of them have been able to successfully order using Indian credit cards. If you read a few pages back you ll know what steps to follow. And maybe you ll get lucky.

The best bet will be either use "buy for me" services or order from ebay or the very best will be to ask someone you know in US to order for you using their US credit card and ship to any package forwarding company like hopshopgo, ppobox etc directly and then get it to india.

Rumored Nexus 4 with 32GB and LTE... What do you guys think.. will the price of existing Nexus 4 (8 or 16GB) fall...??

Source
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
I don't think so. This is the lowest price for such a beauty.:cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
thanks for correcting...didnt know about that...
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I don't think there will be any price fall. In case of new 32gb variant the price will be higher only but really doubt a new variant.

:)
[Nexus 4 General] lash17:
Any?

Anyone know any other website like iShop International which can make payment for us and deliver it in India for reasonable price?

Or anyone got SPARE NEXUS 4?
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
Yeah, i think i should go with "Buy for me"...Thanks for the help

Ringke Fusion Owners Help

I bought a ringke fusion case off ebay but there is a problem. I am not able to use my sennheiser headphones with it, the jack is obstructed by the case.

Does everyone of you has this problem? Should I make a claim for replacement?

You can trust the seller and than you also have ebay 1 month gurantee

When did you buy it for 24.5K ?? Was it like recently ?

To root or not to root???

Nexus 4 owners,

Have you rooted your Nexus 4 and installed a custom ROM/Kernel or are you still on stock?

Which is the preferred ROM and Kernel combination?

I am sitting on the fence of Rooting my Nexus. Not able to decide :confused:

Network drops

Hello all,

I am using nexus 4 for past 2 months and i am facing a problem that every time I end a call my network goes to blank and to no network (for 2 seconds) and turns on again.

Is anyone also having the same prob or is it a problem of my device only.

Also I read a blog that said if I put my phone on 2G, it wouldn't loose the network after a call ends. It seems to work as of now but it cuts me off from 3G.

My phone is rooted with custom ROM and kernel but i faced the same issue with stock also.

Please help.

Regards
[Nexus 4 General] Faiz Malkani:
Harsh kernel is awesome. Try that or Trinity

As for ROM, many options are good. I've tried 13 ROMs and these are my picks, in order

AOKP

Xenon

Carbon

Xylon

PA

Cm10

PAC

Jellybeer

Rasbeanjelly

Do you know any "Buy for me" services other den iShop International?
[Nexus 4 General] jadoein:
Rom- AOKP

Kernel - Franco nightly 125
[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
You can try the buy for me services offered by most of the freight forwarders. But they charge you extra for that (obviously). For eg. comgateway charges 10% of the price (including shipping) of the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I do not have any such problem with Ringke fusion case. But am using the Philips or HTC headphone. Don't have sennheiser to check. More than problem with Ringke it seems that the connector in sennheiser headphones is thicker or larger and can't fit in the cut out on case. It has nothing to do with Ringke fusion case. It's not a manufacturing defect of case most likely. Do check with some other headphones if they work. You can try to claim replacement but i don't think it will solve with another fusion case. You should probably look for another case if you want to use these headphones like Nillkin flip that leaves while top exposed and won't restrict any headphone connector.
[Nexus 4 General] NHarmonia:
What alternatives do I have other than iShopInternational?

They told me that my order placed on 13th had been cancelled by google, and they reordered on 20th.

I am considering getting a refund from them
[Nexus 4 General] akhi.aka.g:
I thought I received one of the previous fusion models which had some problems, thanks for the info.

I thought of cutting the case around the headphone hole, would that be a good option?
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
If you can do a good job of it then sure go ahead and cut it. Although it's an expensive case, if you absolutely have to use that headphone why not get a new case and sell that on ebay at 200 or 300 less or keep as alternative for later.
[Nexus 4 General] akhi.aka.g:
That is a nice idea. I was just checking with the headphones, won't be using them all the time. I am thinking of buying new headphones with mic that work with nexus. Just out of curiosity I tried with sennheiser. I assumed that if I the new one's that I buy don't fit, I can exercise this option.

Personally I am not a fan of the nilkin case, I have seen many friends with flip cases having dents on their phone's edges after just one drop, and with nexus we ought to be careful.

You said you are using philips headphones? which one? can you give me a link. And if you have any other suggestions for headphones that I can buy off ebay, that would be great as I am having a coupon of Rs 400 off. My range would be 1000-1500.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I am not an audiophile and use the headphones only occasionally for some music or calls while commuting mainly. I am using original htc earphones I got with my htc desire hd and philips shh2660 which have built in mic I bought for around 400 off ebay. They do the job for me. They are all earphones.

I think someone who is more of a audiophile can give reviews of good headphones to buy. :)
[Nexus 4 General] shubham_negi:
Hi

I got a email today from ishop that they have received my 16 gb one ordered on 13 th and they have shipped it today.

Soundmagic e10m on ebay costs Rs 3200 minimum, way out of my budget. :(

Even on amazon it costs $45.

If I can't get a headset at that price, I will buy some nice earphones. I need them just for casual usage.

oh sorry din see that, in that case try some e-commerce sites...the price is somewhere b/w 1.5k to 2k

so they are special take care to electronic items ? or if they will also ask about package then should i have to say them that there is mobile in this package ?

Guys my nexus 4 fell down today front side. I have removed the bumper just today to feel the exact beauty. Front glass was shattered completely and touch was not responsive. I live in Hyderabad. I know that here local LG won't repair this phone but is there any way i can import the front glass imported from other countries? I know a local mobile shop guy who can replace the screen completely.. So is there any reliable site I can order the parts?
[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
Yes you can. I got mine the same way.
[Nexus 4 General] MPAI:
Did you use PPOBOX?

You can check ebay for the screen and digitizer. They are available but not sure about reliability of sellers.

[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Check this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/TOUCH-SCREE...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item337bfb4865

The seller is from Huaqiang North, Shenzhen, China. Rating is quite good. They also have international shipping and is included in the cost. Just check the customs that might be applicable.
[Nexus 4 General] akhi.aka.g:
Where is it for 1.5- 2k ,please give the link.
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
Apparently, it wasn't for 24k....on jadopado after talking to the rep...he told me about the extra customs and all...and in the end it came around 27k...so i didn't order.

But on ebay its available for 26k, is it a fair deal?

Hey I just wanna know have any of you'll received the official play store update by Google ?
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
Last i received automatically was 3.10.14 after that I manually updated to latest one with apk from androidpolice.com

You can also do that, not much changes though and you don't need to be rooted for doing it.
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Google is releasing the updates country wise. So don't know about ours.
[Nexus 4 General] appz':
Yeah I do know we can get the apk file but I just wanna know that my phone can receive OTA updates as I was on a custom ROM before then came back to stock using the nexus tool kit so I just wanna confirm that I can receive ota updates .
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Thanks for the reply. I want to know if it works then my phone will be working normally right.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
Yes that's true. Also many recommendations and all don't work for me here as they have not been rolled out yet for indian play store. So once they finalize that they will roll out to all other devices. As of now its rolled out only to us based devices that access us play store.

Although If anyone still wants to see how it is then surely it can be updates using the apk.
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
As long as you are on stock you can receive ota updates.
[Nexus 4 General] appz':
I read some where when u do come back to stock some stock files do get changed so I just wanted to confirm that is there a way to check if you can receive the ota updates . so to check this out I went into settings and uninstalled the Google play update and came back to 3.10.10 . In a few minutes my Google play store updated itself and came to 3.10.14 so was that a ota update ? If yes we should have got the 4.0.26 update by now
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Yes that should be ota update. I think they are considering region wise not the phone wise. Our Nexus 4 is in India so it may get delayed.

I am not sure if you checked my previous msg but I was interested in knowng the address of the Nehru place guy ?

My experience in ordering the Nexus 4 from US

Hi guys!

I received my Nexus 4 finally this Friday after a lot of ups and downs and I'm completely satisfied with it :D:D

Here's the timeline and cost breakup for the total device.

Apr 3: I ordered a 16GB N4 and the official bumper from play store and got it shipped to HSG address. My order was immediately pre ordered and got shipped in less than 24 hrs.

Apr 4: Shipped to HSG

Apr 5: Reaches HSG.

Apr 6: Got mail from HSG saying that my order was received. I paid immediately using paypal and selected the Standard shipment method.

Apr 9: DHL picked up from HSG.

Apr 11: It arrives in Bangalore. This is when the delay begins. My package was in Bangalore customs for 5 days. The seal was opened and

there was a single fingerprint on the screen.

Apr 17: It finally departs from Bangalore and reaches chennai. They attempt a delivery which I don't know of. I was in my room (I stay in College hostel) for all the time and they manage to evade me. I call the call centre and ask them to make a delivery before 12 or after 5 (my class hours) but still they make next 2 deliveries between these times. :(:(

Apr 19: My dad gets pissed of and calls some higher up in the asia pacific region. He calls at around 8:30PM and is assured that it will delivered the next morning, a saturday.

Apr 19: 10:30PM I get a call from the delivery guy to come to my hostel gate!! He's there with the parcel. But once again it didn't go smoothly. There were 2 invoices for my phone by Bangalore customs. One for 1900 and other for 2564. He calls his office and it takes about half an hour to sort it out. It seems my phone somehow went through customs twice and 2564 was the revised customs rate. I finally had the device in my hands after paying 2564.

Finally cost breakup:

Play Store: Rs 20,864

HSG: Rs 1482

Customs 2564

It wasn't the kind of experience I was expecting :p

I had previously ordered the Gadsheildz protector which i applied. I couldn't apply the backside guard properly and it has lots of defects. The front one fit extremely well but has Orange peel effect.

I also rooted it and installed CWM recovery. I'm having a problem with downloading apps from PlayStore. While on WiFi, I can download apps only sometimes and many times I get error 401. It works perfectly well on cellular data. Any solutions, fixes?

Thanx for reading such a long post of mine
[Nexus 4 General] ratornado:
Sorry...this is not a solution to your problem...but if you are kind enough could you please tell me.. how did you manage to get GN4 as they are not accepting indian cc and second thing...could you please tell the total amount(including shipping and customs) without the bumper case ?

Anyone facing issues after updating to 4.2.2?

Hey guys!

Somebody told me that their Nexus 4 developed some problems after an update to 4.2.2.

I was told that the accelerometer & the gyroscope weren't functional anymore.

Anyone having similar problems?
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
No such problems though am having two unrelated weird problems

1. Display sleep time resetting automatically without any warning and i checked no app is interfering with it

2. In past 24 hours my phone has switched off twice automatically requiring a hard reboot to switch on. Otherwise it won't switch on.

First one doesn't bother that much but hope the second one is an isolated incident and won't happen again. Lets see if it occurs tonight also
[Nexus 4 General] punitthereddevil:
Guys I heard the battery life is pretty bad and also its not removable...so what if u need to replace the battery a few months down the line...? Since LG doesn't give any service in India for nexus,I'll be stuck with a dead battery with no options for repair...anyone got any suggestions...?
[Nexus 4 General] OrrPenn18:
This is not a problem. This is because they are using an old radio file on 4.2.2. For Nexus 4 on 4.2.2 the radio file should be .48 and not .33

About the second issue, its called SOD. Have you undervolted your CPU?

How do I buy from Google Play

Hi fellas, I plan on buying a Nexus 4 16gb from Google Play store but my debit card just refuses to work. I am using an icici international debit card for the transaction. Could any of you be kind enough to guide me on buying it from my debit card. I have an option of creating a virtual credit card too but am just unsure and I dont want 2 lose my 23k in case the attempt fails. Thank You in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
what do u mean "refuses to work"?

if the card is not showing up while placing the order then it might be because the billing and shipping address should be of USA...

moreover indian debit and credit cards are not being accepted nowadays...u can try ur luck...

---------- Post added at 09:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

battery life and dead battery are two different things...

any big screen smart phone currently in the market has less battery life as compared to mayb nokia 1100 but that does'nt mean that u need to replace the battery...

moreover with moderate usage i can comfortably get through the day with one charge...
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Hi fellow Indians,

I am gonna buy this phone from Australia play store, my jiju is going to bring it here.

Just wanted to know from where should I ask him to buy it.? Play store or the site in the first post??

Ppl who have recently bought this phone did find any issuse using it mentioned in the poll section?? Pl rep.

thanks a lot. :)
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
the first post explains you about various package forwarding companies....basically even there it says to order through playstore only...

so playstore is the best place to order but i think ur jiju should have an australian cc...

not as many issues and complaints lately...
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
It should work. Anyways how would you know if it works or not before replacing it? :rolleyes:

I think you discuss it with the seller and then you can come to know about it.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
i am pretty much sure that he doesn't have Australian Cc, so this case what should he do?? and whats the bumper price and screen protectors price upto??
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
if he has some friend over there whose credit card he can borrow and pay him in cash...otherwise last option is to try with an indian cc...

also ask him to use his own (or your) google account so that in future it will be easy to get support from google...

bumper in US is 20 + 6$ shipping so if u order along with the phone u can save shipping...

screen protectors u can order from xtremeguards, gadgetshield or ebay for about 200-400 INR...
[Nexus 4 General] macrovers:
hi, I am also facing the same situation, i have a friend who can buy for me, but no way to bring it here, i dunno what is the procedure with ppobox, if you figure out how to bring it to INDIA, plz do brief me dude.

[Nexus 4 General] harshahv:
If you read the first post, it has all the answers for you. PPOBox, HSG, Comgateway, Borderlinx, Shopandship are some of the services you can use to get your Nexus 4 shipped to India. Of these Shopandship is the one that charges you a membership fee. Others are free to register and shipping will cost you about 1500. Also note that there will be customs that you will have to pay when you receive the package which comes to about 2000 (in Bangalore. Not sure about other cities).
[Nexus 4 General] X0LARIUM:
Being one of the guys who got it here thru one if the companies discussed earlier, I will make it very simple for u.

0. Make an account with PPOBox/Borderlinx

1. Order the phone thru playstore

2. Get it shipped to the warehouse of the service u picked

3. Once it arrives there, pay them and get the shipment released

4. It arrives in Mumbai, the customs drama starts

5. Customs release it and it arrives at your doorstep

6. Boot the phone first time and prepare to faint :P
