Actually I was patiently waiting from Feb 17th for updates in my wallet account. Till today, I was refreshing the page like looking for cricket scores. After your advice, I really opted to call Google. Before that, I rechecked my account again and found that another bullet point popped up suddenly. It mentioned "Google Inc. received your order."

Please advise me what to do. Shall I call the Google or wait for now? :confused:

No 2nd bullet

Folks, I ordered two nexus 4 on 3rd and I only got 1 bullet as of now :(

I also called up my bank whether my card (hdfc credit card with rs 1,50,000 limit) is causing any trouble but bank advisor told that their is no problem with payment as the same has been already deducted!! Can somebody help me with this?

Further, if anybody has ordered nexus 16gb on 03rd march, please let me know your status.

Just so you know, Order time is 10 PM and shipping address is comgateways's address.

I appreciate all you guys help, who help novice people like me and others in getting their dream phone :)

guys who had already got it shipped. what was your estimated ship time if you had ordered after march 1st?.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
1-2 weeks. 17th March. This is what I saw at play store "My Orders"
[Nexus 4 General] Adi Kaps:

I think, most of the phones ordered after 1st march r getting shipped today.. :good:

In the playstore, my shipping estimate has changed to march 7 th. :victory: yeah !!!!

Hi!

XtremeGuard is offering a 75% off on screen protectors! Just use the coupon code 75off. A protector for the front and back costs 2.5$ including free shipping. Not a bad deal right? :)

Anyone has used XtremeGuard before? It will be my first time with a wet application screen guard!

Btw they have free international shipping, that's what got me going to purchase it! Woot.

Comments on the xtremeguard protector and whether is peels with cases on, like the rinkage case by re earth the tpu case, official and poetic bumper!
[Nexus 4 General] uumeshh:
I dont see any such offer on their site !! mind sharing the link??

Edit: My bad... got it !!

2nd nexus

my dad needed one placed an order for the 2nd phone lets see when does it get shipped
[Nexus 4 General] para_droid:
I have been using this for more than a week and it's really good. But unfortunately I put on my hard case 8 hrs after installing the screen guard and that messed up the edges on the right side. But the replacement is already on its way. I suggest that you wait for 24 hours after putting on the case. I will be ordering even the back protector. Too cheap to pass!! Any idea how their TPU case would fare?I am planning on getting one.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
Case for nexus

Now that my nexus has been shipped. I need to know where in India can I get a protective case. I have been through previous posts & nothin I have liked much. I need a case that is thin, doesnt bulk up the beauty & transparent so that the back of the nexus can be seen.

Any idea guys ?
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Their Tpu case looks like the same one which you get on ebay for 250rs :P

Ringke Rearth fusion. Was available on ebay for a premium but not anymore. I am waiting for my friend to get it in May :(
[Nexus 4 General] uumeshh:
Can be found here : http://in.mobilefun.com/38000-rearth-ringke-fusion-case-for-the-google-nexus-4.htm

Don't keep your N4 out of the case too long !!
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
If by any chance the phone is launched in India I am pretty sure cheap version of rinkage will be easily available.

Just like the capdase case. The original ones are sold at 500-600, but one can easily get a duplicate for 100-150 :P
[Nexus 4 General] keyrun8:
after applying the coupon, the cost for full body protection is 2.5$ and they also provide free international shipping. Does this mean I would get it delivered for 2.5$ flat, no customs or anything?
[Nexus 4 General] para_droid:
Yeah But with 75 off we'd be getting it here for 210 :P. The one on ebay looks cheap and glossy. Is it same as the one available on ebay? Then I better not order it.
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
No customs, that's what I have read from a fellow xda user who ordered them cheers
[Nexus 4 General] obeliex:
what do you like?

My phone shipped yesterday . Comgateway...Took quite long....booked on 25th. Yesterday evening ,first I got sms from ICICI that $711 reversed (hold dropped) .I thought **** ..they cancelled my order. :crying:After making me miserable for 1 hour, got another sms from ICICI $711 charged......!?:good: So I know they are going to ship soon.Got a mail that before 7th will be despatched. Today early morning UPS tracking no...:highfive:

Now that I have the elephant,let us talk about Angusa...I ordered last week a bunch of N4 cases from Amazon. It has already landed in Mumbai seperately and will be reaching me in 2 days. Phone duty was 1% & Mobile cases were like 17% or 25% .so I did not combine.

Only after receiving SNS bill,I will know the damage. Unfortunately the hero Ringke Fusion was on pre order & was not available when the others were despatched. Let me know your interest & opinions.:angel:
[Nexus 4 General] para_droid:
Yes. I received it in 10 days when their 77off2 offer was running. Don't have to pay a penny extra because you receive it in an envelope by ordinary post.
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Oh ya :P I didn't calculate that much :P I don't know if it's the same, but yeah look wise it's ditto. I have no idea about the material and stuff :P

Gallery crash

Guys, Anyone??

I know this is not the right forum to ask this question but oflate my gallery app has started crashing on nexus 4 randomly. One such instance is when I take a pic or shoot a video using cam or when I copy a movie to the movies folder through PC. This also seems to be affecting MX player hw decoder because the app is unable to play any video in hw/hw+ decoder when it happens. When I reboot the phone the issues get fixed temporarily. Please help me fix it :(

PS I am an android newbie, so I haven't messed with firmware etc. using stock 4.2.2
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:
I am also looking to buy the xtreme guard for front and back. I already have the skinomi ones but it has I bit of orange peel.

Quite Confused About Which Phone Should I Pick Should I Have To Wait For S4 Or Go With Nexus 4 :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Depends on your budget
[Nexus 4 General] haxor:
Its not all about budget AFAIK Samsung won't release source code of Exynos chipset so S4 won't get good dev support like Nexus 4 it is true correct me if i am wrong !
[Nexus 4 General] para_droid:
Never did that. I am a formerly Samsung wave user :P Didn't want to do a hard reset because I don't want to download all the apps again and setup the device :(

If you can spend 40k, wait for s4. Else buy n4 now at almost half the price...:D

I have realised one thing. If it is Android... it has to be a Nexus. period
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
You finally received your second bullet point. Things should go smoothly from here. I'd imagine your phone will ship in abour 3-4 days considering you've been waiting since Feb17.If you still see no updates after 3 days call up the support number and insist on speaking to a Supervisor. You'll have to call post 8pm IST to get one on the line. All the best.

Yay i finally got my phone. Ordered on 15th feb its lovely as ever. Now need to find out about this micro sim deal. Thanks to OP and everyone else for making this happen. And yes it was sealed and not tampered with(regards PPOBox). Customs cost me overrall 1396 at mumbai and phone 20353. Ordered from New york for 33 dollars tax. Btw I live in Bangalore.

Anyone in Bangalore who got the phone did the customs opened the seal or was it intact.Why do we pay career fee at the point of delivery if we have paid to companies like(ppobox,HSG,CGW)for shipping .Just a clarification
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
ru sure about that coa i only seen di@bol getting a bumper and customs for him was around 1k for both phone and bumper togther. I too want the full body screen protector but i dont want 16% customs...

Btw any gud case's for n4, i want the ringke fusion one but its not avaliable anywhere at a decent price. Wat will it cost if shipped from abroad?
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
So double the price doesn't bother you?

Even if there is a defect(which is highly unlikely) it'll surely be less than 20k that you'll pay extra for s4...

[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
If u order from ppobox it wont be opened

rest all it will be opened to check.

Also only ppobox & borderlinx takes prepaid customs dutys along with shipping cost so u dont need to pay anything, rest all u have to pay the shipping duty and the custom is charged according to the custom officers hence the payment to the courier guy when he deliver's the phone
[Nexus 4 General] Gorillazz:
Dude, mine still showing as pre ordered :( you're lucky enough to get the estimated shipping time..

can anybody help me with Google support team's email address. it's actually very cumbersome job to actually call them. what you guys say? which is effective calling them or shooting emails?
[Nexus 4 General] prateek2888:
The xtremeguard protector still wont save the device from a fall right? I understand that 100% protection isnt possible, but are you guys going to use an extra case apart from the full body protector? Which case would be the right thing to buy? The official bumper?

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

Also, I feel instead of going for the full body protection, just order their back screen protector. Its is a wet skin and gives a rubbery feel (you wont like it much when you use your phone). That being said, with the offer, the front comes only for 1.25$, no harm ordering it and not using it :P
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
You are a lucky person... :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
Check out the Ionic Guardian case for Nexus 4 from amazon.It cost me 760bucks with shipping to send it to HSG. It offers great protection.Protection is much better than a bumper cause it protects the back glass as well and and it has a lip around the front edge.The corners have extra rubber to reduce impact from edge falls. It adds very little bulk and makes the phone feel sturdy.Buttons are easily accessible and so are the charging and earphone ports.

I highly recommend it.
[Nexus 4 General] uumeshh:
Dude... the phone is made of glass.. It is not supposed to be dropped. Keep it like a baby. As far as the case goes you can order this from india itself for 1350

iShop tells me that it would take a month for the device to reach my doorstep! Does it really take that long??? Considering that Google is shipping out devices relatively quickly, isn't this too long a wait?

PS - iShop has crappy customer reps :mad: . They talk as if they are reading it from a sheet and their attitude is "Buy or F-OFF" :laugh:

Say FOFF to them and use PPOBOX. It will cost less than what I shop will charge you. And PPOBOX has a customer rep in Mumbai too

ishop Customer care is stupid

A week ago, I had an interesting encounter with ishop.

I had a quote saved for 16GB nexus 4 which was around 24K. A lady from customer care from Mumbai called & said that nexus 4 prices are increased now & it will cost me 27K for 16GB. She further said that previously nexus 4 price was 399$, now its 415$. I kept laughing at her saying I can see right in front of me, nexus price has never changed. After this, I decided not to go with ishop, instead ordered through ppobox & already shipped.

Do I need to fill the create new shipment form in ppobox? Or should I leave it?

Debit card payment

Hi

I have asked a relative of mine to buy nexus4 from playstore since I dont have a credit card and I dont want the hassle of money being blocked by google for a week or so. But how to get nexus 4 to India, comgateway and hopshopgo use credit card/paypal but I dont have one.

Please help.

One more question, specifically for people who ordered via ishop, what bill do you get since ishop does not order from playstore in our name, what kind of bill are they providing.
[Nexus 4 General] ashishv:
Both of them are the same companies,except that the former is only for paypal customers.And if u dont want to be shocked by the heavy customs(2-3k) imposed unnecessarily to you,then i would suggest u go with PPOBOX.:cool:

what about my second question...any ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Boderlinx is useless. You have to pay tax in ohio. So PPOBOX is better

[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
I would also advice you to contact PPOBOX customer care.

You need to fill "new shipment" before purchasing from Google Play. This is because, the new shipment will provide you with a package id(unique to your order) which you will be using in the US address while purchasing from Google Play.

Your address will be in format:

8th Floor, PPO # YOURMAILBOXID-YOURPACKAGEID

New York, NY, 10018, USA
