play store order prob

Guys I have some problm order on pay store.....kindly suggest!!!

I registered on google wallet from my google account (which i have made from my yahoo.co.in e-mail id). After registring I went to the play store (using tunnel bear) & tried buying some free music/ book. However everytime at the checkout it showed some error viz.

" Uh oh. There was a problem.

We couldn't complete your purchase because of a technical issue.

Details of the problem below:

Sorry, we were unable to process this request. Any charge will be automatically cancelled within 24 hours. Please try again after 24 hours."

I have registered my HDFC CC (Master Card) on the wallet, country by default was U.S, entered ppobox pin code with no phone number requird to be filled (so left it blank).

Please tell me what can be the problem .....:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] echo104:
So, this is to whoever tried the buying or bought from india using the methods mentioned at first post:

1. What is the approximated days/months of the total procedure from buying till getting nexus 4 in your hand.?

2. Did you used proxy to buy from google store?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
1. Depends how long Google takes to deliver. Mine was backordered and saying 6-7 weeks. However it came in 4. And then another 5 days to reach India.

2. You have to use a US proxy or a US VPN. Without it you won't even see the devices page.

That's maybe cause of the LCD vs AMOLED. Colours on AMOLED anyways are a little more saturated.

Also: the glass breaking incidences are on the rise. Scariest part is u dont need to drop it to crack it. Just manages to do it on its own.

Foreign currency mark-up charges

Hi. I'm planning to buy Nexus 4 once it's back in stock. Going through the discussions, seems like HopShopGo is the cheapest and best option. I just wanted to clarify whether if I pay them via PayPal, will PayPal charge an extra foreign currency mark-up charges or any other extra charge on my Citibank Rewards Credit Card? What are the PayPal charges - can someone please explain?

Or would it cost me less if I directly use comGateway, which would allow me to buy using my CC directly and pay 3.5% foreign currency charges?

Any HSG/ comGateway coupons/ discount methods shall be highly appreciated. Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Paypal will not charge you even a penny. Their service is free.

I used HDFC CC and they charged me 3.5% foreign currency charges + Service tax on this amount. They call it as 'Markup fee'. I read on internet that Citi and ICICI banks do not charge this fee.

Caution: Confirm from the bank before you go ahead.

Thanks!

Nexus 4 Restock

Droid-Life is reporting that tomorrow at 9AM PST Google Play will have stock!
[Nexus 4 General] saptak1990:
Thanks! I understand PayPal's service is free. But, say HSG charges me $30 for shipping etc. and I pay by PayPal. Now, I'm paying PayPal by my Citibank credit card and this will be considered as a foreign currency transaction, right? So won't there be a foreign currency markup charge on this? Or will PayPal show the transaction as domestic only and charge in INR?

Also, can someone please guide me to a tutorial link to the best way to use US VPN/ proxy (or whatever the process is called) for purchasing from Google Play Store from India?
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Guys tell me about the battery life and hardware issues. Is it good for me to shift back from note 2 to nexus 4? Recently I have checked galaxy nexus which is running stock 4.2.1. It's blazingly fast and there is no lag at all. So nexus 4 is a very good upgrade compared to the galaxy nexus right. Give advice whether to buy nexus 4 or stay with note 2 running cm 10?
[Nexus 4 General] left2swiss:
if you already have a Note 2, stick to that. that's a solid device. I've had a couple of issues with my stock nexus 4. random shutdowns, overheating, battery drainage.
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Oh . this is what I am talking about. Good to know reviews from the user side. Does anyone else face these issues?
[Nexus 4 General] ksavai:
From galaxy nexus its surely upgrade not so much from note 2.

Saying that I'm not finding any issue. Unless you say over heating is problem.
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
OK let me guess over heating will occur if you play HD games and browse internet or watch HD videos using 3g. That's common because I too get it.
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Not unless you find the note 2 too big or something
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Note 2 runs on Exynos 4412 which does not have full platform source available for running CM10.1 fully. The same problem was with S2/S3/Note/Note2. My S2 never received a stable CM build be it 7/9/10 or 10.1.

If you are happy with stock ROM and not getting updates after another year or so stick with Note2. If you like running AOSP ROM's or like receiving latest updates then go for Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Not big
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Depends on what u want ( refer atul's post above) if u r happy with touchwiz stay with note 2. Another reason to stay would be the stock camera on note 2

Yipee!!! Finally got hold of my Nexus 4 16 GB. A quick question to experts and other Nexus 4 owners in India.

The box came along with a USB Cable, travel adapter and sim ejection tool, the quick start guide mentions that "The input voltage range between the wall outlet and travel adapter is AC 100V-240V and the travel adapter's output voltage is DC 5V, 1.2 A. Can i use the travel adapter directly to charge the phone here in Mumbai ?
[Nexus 4 General] yoshimitsu1234:
Yes you could but via adapter as those thin pins are not supported in India. I am typing this while charging my Nexus at home in Mumbai.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
It would be around 575$.

Nexus 4 (on eBay)= 502

Delivery to HSG add= 12

Shipping charges by HSG=32.25 (Express shipping)

Customs= 20 (Expected)

Octroi=11 (Expected)

[Nexus 4 General] yoshimitsu1234:
I am in mumbai. Using it since a week. There won't be a problem if you use a case with your phone. If you don't and phone falls on hard ground then there are chances of breaking the glass. Best way to use it is with a case and screen guard both on front and back glass. I haven't yet removed screen guard which came on the phone out of the box.

On another note, I was charged $1 each for linking my credit card to Google Wallet & PayPal. Is that normal? Do they refund these charges? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] sumit999:
pls clarify

Today I tried purchase a book for $0 and it showed in MY Books. I am confused a lot for google wallet. In one post it was mentioned that I have to give the billing/ shipping address in wallet same as ppobox address. However it only asks me the pin code and not the address.

Please shed some light on it.

Thanks

@All who are planning to use Citi card - I just confirmed with Citibank and you will be charged 3.5% of the foreign currency + 12.36% of that 3.5% as service tax when the transaction reflects in your statement. I don't know how some ppl here got away without this, but I have my own statements as proof where $1 was charged at 57 INR. So requesting fellow xda-ers to be ready to pay another 800 INR minimum extra.

Don't worry mate. That is just for verifying your card. The $1 will not be actually charged to your card.

so how do i place the order now...

[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Something vaguely similar happened to me all 3 phones I bought. When u hit proceed it just goes into infinite loading. By the second time I was wise enough to know that if I get SMS about the transaction from my cr card it's through. So if u got this SMS then the transaction is through. Last round some people also had this issue where Google had certain queries about their credit cards n stuff. They had to send some documents n stuff.
[Nexus 4 General] KaranKapoor:
Yeah, I figured the same. Clicked proceed only once. I'm actually confused because of the following reply from the 'Play Store orders & shipping thread'... (he had the same status as mine)
[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
No problem abt that. But go to PPObox and create a package entry leaving the tracking number field empty for now. You can update it once you get your phone shipped from Play store.

I didnt put any unique package id in my us adress . You sure is not a problem & without order no of item invoice they cant create a unique package id .

same here bro, ordered via ppobox. just now ordered the bumper too via a different unique id. i believe HSG has the option of consolidating the shipment and there one can save some money over ppobox. I didnt imagined the bumper will be in stock so soon ;)

Will have a chat with ppobox cc tomorrow for consolidation as need to buy screen guards too ....

Yep. I got a confirmation through an SMS.

Stupid Google can't even give me a straight date -- "pre-ordered" my ***! :/
[Nexus 4 General] sb9772:
hey bro can you help me , how to create a uniqye package id
[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
No one will be charged today mate. You will be charged only when the phone actually ships out. Right now, Google will only put a hold for the amount on your card. Not sure if Indian debit cards will work in Google wallet.

No, you didn't :)

You have your own advantages like fixed prepaid customs, low shipping rates and box not getting opened at customs.

I however chose for HSG for the full insurance, tax free address and free package consolidation.

It depends on what you want so no worries ;)

If you have no concern with your box being opened and ready to spend a bit extra, Borderlinx definitely. Else, PPObox. (if these are the only options you are considering). Again, its only my opinion.
