Nillkin flip case

Hi Guys,

Yesterday I've received Nillkin flip case. I had ordered it from GEB (eBay). It costed me Rs 1223 (after Rs 400 discount, thanks to eBay WTF :)). It is looking good. Fitting it perfectly to my phone.

Only concern is answering the phone. I will have to flip it to backside to answer the phone. I think I'll get used to it once I use it for 3-4 days.

Will post the pictures tomorrow.

Just Google them. You'll find it easily.!

Joined the nexus 4 gang today. Nice and sleek phone :)
[Nexus 4 General] mohit_delhi:
Can you post link of case which you ordered? Is it nillkin tree flip case? And why you need to flip it to answer call? Does it not work like samsung flip cases where you can answer calls without opening flip case?

Order was suddenly Cancelled by Google!

The problem with the survey we are asked to fill does not contain an option to tell you for how many users did this method fail!

I tried this method by making a new gmail account and also followed all the instructions to the letter. I had ordered on 17th March 2013 and my order status was Pre-Ordered till today morning. Today morning I received an email by Google that my order was cancelled! They refunded the entire amount of money to my Citibank Credit Card instantly and then when I tried to log in Google Wallet, they began asking me for my driving license or proof that I am a US citizen, which in fact I am not! Anyway, I ordered my Nexus 4 from Amazon now for 415$ and told Amazon to ship it to the HopShopGo address! Will confirm here once I receive the package at my HopShopGo address :)
[Nexus 4 General] ramkumar2000:
Now we know that google is filtering the orders from non-us credit cards,

so i guess we have following options left

1:- Use jadopado.com (people have purchased from it but they charge higher customs, costs around 25,500)

2:- Use ebay...price minimum 27500 as of current listings (Benefit is fast delivery and ebay guarantee of 30 days, use coupons to get discount)

3:- Use ishopinternational quote given by them is 24977 (use coupon 'firstdeal' for 500 rs discount) heard good reveiws apart from 4-5 weeks delivery time

4:- Use CWG or HSG and let them buy for you and deliver it to your house (10 percent to buy for normal customers and 7 percent under prime program)

5:- Use US credit card of any friend or relative...or tell them to buy and deliver

6:- Keep trying Google play store with Indian credit card (do not use same credit card which was used earlier when order got cancelled)

7:- Search local markets and ask them if they have nexus 4...

People from mumbai..you guys can get nexus 4 from ALFA (its a well known shop in Irla) at the price of 26,500

I enquired at 2-3 local shops in mumbai and they said they can bring it for me in 1-2 days and it will cost 27000

Keep one thing in mind. It does not matter much from where you buy coz there is no warranty (apart from ebay 1 month)

Do not pay more than 28000

Check the product before accepting delivery (No warranty)

In This price this phone is awesome...i am using it from 15 days...and WOW..:)
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
I see this thread has lot of unnecessary posts and really one had to scan through all posts to read something new.

Dude what's new in this? Amazon will definitely ship to your hopshopgo address as they accept international cards.

Oh and on the cancellation bit it has been reported multiple times already as well.

[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
ComGateway/hopshopgo charges 10 percent for buy for me for normal customers and 7 percent under prime program. Good thing is there address is in Portland where you save sales tax.
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
So, ordering through Amazon will cost you Rs.26-Rs.27K totally including customs, shipping and all. Somewhat Good.

Can you pls tell us, from which seller from Amazon, you ordered the phone?
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
Why don't you buy from ebay india? You can get discount of about 800 bucks using coupons.

Any tips on ROM/kernel combos? I got my nexus 4 on Wed.. Rooted and flashed the Primerunner ROM and the modified PA kernel which gives higher contrast and fuller colors like the Optimus G.. so far so good... Phone is as zippy as ever.

Am still using the stock screen protector that came on the phone.. have ordered a 560 bucks case + screen guard from eBay for now... Thinking of going for the ringke fusion case later

I ordered my nexus 4 on 27th and received a mail today saying that my order got cancelled

What should I do? Any suggestions?

Won't my card work anymore? Please reply asap, I am really worried I want it badly

Ebay is selling @ 27 k 28 k with next day delivery lol

since google is **** blocking other country cards , and most other resellers bought phones are being ripped a new arsehole by customs .

Its just easier to pay extra 2 to 3k and get it via ebay atm. specially from those next day delivery guys.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
9 days of using this phone and so far experience has been very good. Only BIG issue is lack/delay of notifications on WIFI especially Whatsapp messages requiring me to use 3G even at home except when streaming or downloading and updating apps from Play store and the poor sound of speaker making me miss lots of calls and messages when phone is lying flat especially on bed.

TIP-I have bought Lighflow app from the Play store and have customized it so that has solved my problem with notifications a bit, since seeing the LED colour and blinking I can know about calls or messages.

As for accessories, i am currently using S-line TPU case and xtremeguard. TPU case fitting is very nice but it has made it bulky and feels a little cheap. Just received Ringke Fusion case I had ordered from GEB on 20th. Shall try it out in a day or two.

Also ordered a Nillkin Fresh Flip Leather case in Black color off eBay for about Rs.550($10), shipping from China. Hope it arrives. I frequently buy stuff from China using PayPal and so far except once or twice, all have arrived in around maximum 30-40 days otherwise PayPal will refund you, so I wait for 40 days and then open a dispute if not received by day 41 since PayPal gives 45 days to open the dispute.
[Nexus 4 General] paragk:
Sounds like this is the way to order a Nexus 4 now...can you post the link of the seller on Ebay? Also do you need to use a US VPN while ordering from Ebay as I am not able to see any Nexus 4 entries when I search on Ebay.com.

Install the kernel mentioned below. It uses the latest wifi driver from Qualcomm which fixes delayed notifications bug.

If you want to revert to stock or any other kernel later flash the file mentioned below after flashing your kernel

Nexus 4 is available on ebay.in for around 24k. Couple that with the weekend coupon of 7.5% off and you can have it for 22k. The coupons do not have an upper limit of 750/-
[Nexus 4 General] seltaeb:
I am using Paranoid Android and Franco's kernel to tweak colors / gamma etc. Rock stable and zippy so far.

Case -- I got that Armourdillo thing off mobilefun. Its rugged but adds a fair bit of bulk and weight to the phone. I quite like it though, this is a fragile device. Ringke Fusion seems nice, I'll probably get it myself.

---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

If you need it that badly, you can buy it off eBay.in or from your local grey market.

While I haven't tried it myself, all indications are that non-US credit cards can no longer be used.

PS: Anyone here given USD denominated Entropay card a shot yet?

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Don't go by Brazil. Brazil has some taxation issues when importing electronic devices. Someone was telling me the Galaxy Nexus was launched for $1000 there by Samsung where as in other places like middle east it launched at pretty competitive $550-$600.

Ah, it does seem like you're right. I should have looked that up. I'm glad ours is not the only country with issues like this.

Highly unlikely that your card would go through again. Moreover Google has stopped accepting Indian credit cards altogether to purchase at USA play store.

[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
I think so.. It should be available.. but why take the risk?? wait for it to launch here officially and take it at a lower price from your local retailer and you will get it cheaper and instantly with sealed box as well.. and by then GSMArena would have released their honest opinion and you can take according to that.. its your wish..

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh BTW isn't this crazy? Nexus s still selling for 20K and galaxy nexus selling for about 35K?? and the latest Nexus 4 Priced between them.. that's some serious price variation.. if you take it normally.. the Nexus 4 Should be placed atleast 37k.. but since Ebay, I hope it will be placed at 25k if negotiated from a local retailer.. and for those who wish to import I recommend them to do so AFTER it is launched in India (for cheaper stuff) My friend is going to US.. I may ask him to buy one for me if its released so that Its cheaper there.. and customs? let that be alone.. we are just bringing one.. not importing carton boxes.. I am sure they won't say anything.. or you can buy it from Dubai coz there are no customs or duties.. it's a clean chit place.. lucky them no hassles..
[Nexus 4 General] abhi2889:
My friend lives in LA and he is coming in december. He will buy for me on 13th and use it for some days there so that he can find out if there are any defects or not within 15 days replacement period. He will bring it with him like it's his phone so no customs also... :D

I don't think it will ever be cheap than US if i buy it in india.
[Nexus 4 General] edge12345:
Guys when you are calculating US prices do consider local shipping (~10 $) and local taxes (10% == ~35$)....considering all that 16gb N4 comes to 21.5- 22k INR

....just to compare Indian prices
[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
Nexus 4 is about $350 in USA and about £280 in UK.. just the same way.. why not about 400 or 500 INR would do right?? a bit overpriced but still managable.. :P

Jokes apart but when you really see.. £280 is about 25K INR.. so that makes sense.. and also the local taxes drive it higher.. maybe that's why nexus 7 was released with double the price than the states here.. lets hope the same is NOT the case with nexus 4..

You must have ordered from cart2indiaonline. If yes, then don't worry, their reputation is quite good. I noticed last night that 73 devices have already been booked from them. I am talking about 16 gb versions only.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Well you do understand that the phone will reach you only after December 5 probably even later considering the number of bookings. By that time, nexus 4 would hopefully be already announced and available in India and most likely only at a 2-4k premium ( final street price), maybe even lower.

Do you really think, such saving is worth the loss of warranty in India?

Nexus 4 in UK is £280 including VAT . If you buy from clove.co.UK whenever its available you will be buying ex vat price which should be less than £280 . Keeping my fingers crossed for another day or two until clove releases the price and then I will buy .

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 AM ----------

If the phone is sent through DHL or FedEx then they will pay the duty and recover it from you when they deliver the phone . Its worth paying that extra 5 to 10 dollars for DHL or FedEx . USPS is cheap but the phone will be with the customs officials for weeks together .
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
I was thinking of getting it from UK as my relative is coming after around 2 weeks. If no other choice, I will go for theamericanbazaar.in
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Pricing at theamericanbazaar.in seems pretty good, but just a heads up before someone places an order - it's a very new website that has been up for about 2 months now. Doesn't seem very reassuring to me, but if anyone has actually purchased anything from here before, that might inspire a little bit more confidence.

Nexus 4 and indian carriers

Guys,

I am buying the Nexus 4 from US google play store and my colleague is sending it over via his relative. My question is even though google has mentioned that the unlocked version being sold on play store is supported by 200 carriers worldwide - will there be any issues with Vodafone India or is there any carrier that i need to purchase Sim from. Please reply as i am kind of worried here.:confused:

Sameer
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Thanks! Seems legit, but I wonder why they decided not to sell Nexus 4 through eBay (they were selling products through eBay previously).

It will work perfectly fine on all Indian carriers, but you need to get a microSIM from your carrier (or cut up a full sized SIM card yourself, which I wouldn't recommend). I'm not sure how easy it is to get one for a prepaid connection, but it shouldn't be impossible since iPhone 5 is being sold in India now and that uses a microSIM as well.
