I have the Ringke Fusion on order currently using GEB from ebay, currently awaiting the delivery.

In the meanwhile I am using the cheap S line TPU case which fits really well but has made the phone quite bulky.

The reviews of Ringke Fusion are generally positive except complaints that back clear plastic is prone to scratch and the buttons lose their feel when being pressed. Other than that haven't come across any negative, More once I receive it and get to try it myself.

Rs.1659 surely seems a lot for the case but considering how delicate Nexus 4 is it seems needed and with all the horror stories on xda about back panel glass breaking and scratching, even more so.

As for original bumper, my personal view is spending around 2000 for it ( As on ebay india )seems a bit too much considering the limited protection it provides, similar to it is Poetic Borderline Bumper for around 1200 on GEB.
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
If you order from multiple accounts using same card it is going to get cancelled.

In fact you won't be able to place order using that card anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] prateek2888:
I had used my card to buy some apps for my Nexus 7, and had deleted this card from my account. That would be a problem too? Also, my card has been charged too :( So, if google returns the money after cancelling, I guess I will end up paying forex charges both sides
[Nexus 4 General] obeliex:
You dont need to buy Ringke Fusion for Rs 1659 under GEB -Ebay & wait for 10-14 days for delivery.You can order it & get it with in 2-3 days from local ebay seller here...http://goo.gl/ieX8y

Poetic Borderline bumper is as good as Play store bumper at 70% of the cost. Around 1200-1300 is the price selling in ebay india on same day courier despatch from this site.

if it is cheaper by 300-400 ,ok can wait for 14 days. Mobile fun is a site that Quotes rs 1030-1050 or so & then says 325 delivery & wait 14 days again.Rearth Ringke Slim also looks good in hard case covering the back.

KaysCase Armourbox ..is kind of built like FortKnox.:angel:
[Nexus 4 General] obeliex:
I ordered from ebay.com 3+3 =6 Nexus 4 cases just to check. paid thro paYPAL.. I sent them 4 mails immediately after order offering them extra if they would send by registered airmail. ****ers never replied and with in 1 hour updated in ebay site "shipped". i suspect uS$ 12(100 Reminbi) was used for a nice lunch +with Tsingtao Beer in Shenzen mall.!!:mad:

So beware free airmail may never come. Lot of ebay india sellers who specialise in china are selling everything below rS 300-400.

---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

Acase Supperleggera Black is a good choice. $12.90?? How much you paid for Google OEM bumper?

Poetic Borderline is good enough.

where did you order all these together? "free shipping by Airmail/USPS?" or courier.? By courier minimum will be 1 pound charge + taxes etc will be around rs 450 (I mean PPO/Borderlinx).Free USPs is good /no duty probably for these 4 cases woth $50-60 .But till it reaches you,.... :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
You won't be charge anything for cancellation . Don't worry.
[Nexus 4 General] anmolbedi:
Is totally worth it. No peeling and no bulk at all.
[Nexus 4 General] seltaeb:
I'd be surprised if the transaction goes through. Cardholder name is a requirement for authentication. Do let us know how it goes.

PS: Would it not have been easier to create a fresh ID in your own name with another card? (or a virtual one like Entropay, which actually gives you a one-time use US credit card).
[Nexus 4 General] ckranjan:
Entropay is not US based card. Its GB.

PLAY store order after 15th march

HI guys

Has anyone who ordered after 15th march got their order shipped from PLAY Store??

I read a comment of a guy on a blog who claims to have ordered 2 nexus 4 8gb devices on 18th and got his order shipped on 22nd. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] lupo0808:
I have Rearth Fusion, been using it for past 3-4 days. Bought from local ebay seller for 1650.

1) Price although on steeper side is worth the quality.

2) fits quite well, no in my opinion bulk is not added.

3) Front side: no, backside: Yes. I am using xtreme Guard and back part comes off partially when removing fusion.

4) Five out of Five.

FlexiShield Skin

Hi all,

I ordered Amzer TPU skin for nexus 4.

It made the phone very bulky and the gadgetshieldz skin started to peel off.

So I am going to order this one. Flexishield skin for nexus 4

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexishield-skin-for-google-lg-nexus-4-smoke-p37186.htm

What do you guys think ?
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
He would have used an US CC
[Nexus 4 General] gurasees:
NO

The guy was from Singapore and used Bank of Singapore(not a us bank obviously) for payment and ordered using tunnel bear with a fake account with CGW address as his gmail,billing and shipping address.
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:
My second order is in preordered. Ordered on sat using borderlinx address and hdfc international CC.

First order was on 30th Jan and was processed in 2 days.

Nexus 4 display broken

i had brought Nexus 4 before a month, yesterday unfortunately it fell down while i was driving in my bike..

Display glass has broken and touch screen is not working. but i have no issue with the display.. Only touch screen is not working :(

where can i get it replaced in Bangalore or India ?? :crying::crying::(:(
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
I am not sure but if you check the Nexus 4 shipping thread , people from UK, France have faced similar challenges.
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
Go to the LG service centre in KH Road (double rd), a guy had dropped dumbles on this phone and shattered the screen, he got it repaired for under 5k, search the earlier thread for pics.

& let me know too, i too have a knack of dropping my phone and a delicate nexus 4 ;)
[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
There is no software by google for nexus to connect with a PC and use it. Whenever I connect it shows in system folder. To add data easily I want some third party software that should have utility like samsung kies and nokia ovi for nexus phone.
[Nexus 4 General] vidhatreg:
The nexus uses the MTP protocol to connect to any computer. why would you want to install a thrid party software when its not needed. Transferring files is as simple as 'drag n drop' or ' right click -> send to' . if u want to sync music use the windows media player or anything else. I dont see the need for an extra piece of bloatware.
[Nexus 4 General] saxena.siddhu:
Hey guys,

So is there anyway we can order without the order getting cancelled ? Or are we stuck ?
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
i bought the phone on 11th march and I received it on 18th March. after using it as my daily driver yesterday phone turned off automatically and now it wont charge.

and there is a bulge at the back just like this -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2199259

although the glass is not broken. is there anyone facing this issue?
[Nexus 4 General] jumbo18:
I need it because whenever I connect through portable device:

1. It opens very slow and takes time to load every time.

2. When I copy some multiple files like an album folder of mp3 songs. It shows warning: Do you want to copy XYZ to your device? Each time I have to click on yes and do it for all files.

3. I can't browse folder when some copying is in progress implies no multiple transferring at same time. :(

[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
nope i used the same charge that came with the box
[Nexus 4 General] black_scorp_ion:
OMG this is scary........
[Nexus 4 General] Adi Kaps:
This is a classic case of battery inflammation, usually seen in the faulty Li-Ion batteries of mobiles. My dad's old Nokia 6670 had its battery inflammed and the plastic-back cracked. Here the back is glass, but you are lucky that it didn't break. The only option is to get the back opened at LG outlet and replace battery, if possible.
[Nexus 4 General] anmolbedi:
This is scary... visiting an LG service center is the best solution. Do check if the charger is fine. Any voltage spike or charger going bust can also lead to this.
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
Thanks guys for the quick reply.....its still under 15 days i will be callin up google today for rma.

now i am worried because i ordered two N4's and the other one i am yet to use it because i ordered it for my girlfriend and she is not in town, so now i am scared if the issue is with the batch or maybe just my device. Is there any way to confirm the batch or the lot number.?
[Nexus 4 General] Adi Kaps:
Generally the probability of a faulty battery in a batch is very less, so you can easily assume that the second Nexus isn't faulty. I don't know though if there is any way to confirm the same.
[Nexus 4 General] ashish2199:
Do let us know what the lg guys told you
[Nexus 4 General] gautam_nexus:
when i compare IMEI ( serial number ) of both the devices there is a difference of around 1500 and the problem came with the old one.
[Nexus 4 General] black_scorp_ion:
Nexus 4 Indian Thread [Pricing, Availability, Reviews, Support and More

Yours is the least heard problem (atleast in this thread)....... you can safely assume that ur other nexus wont have this problem
[Nexus 4 General] Adi Kaps:
I think there is no need to compare the IMEI as it tells about the mobile, the point of concern should be if the batteries are from same batch or not. Which I think cannot be determined. And as the person here mentioned, its a rarest of the rare case, chill.. There won't be any problem with your other Nexus.. :):):)
[Nexus 4 General] Hemanthbr:
I spoke with LG customer care and collected every LG service centre numbers, I called every guy of LG, but in vain.. i got same answer from everybody like "NEXUS 4 and it's spares are not released in India, you need to get it replaced in the country from where you brought.. Sorry"

I don't know what's happening to me, Need to check, at least whether i'll get local made Display & Digitizer :confused:

nexus 4 data connectivity issue

The same..still data stalls..:(
[Nexus 4 General] seltaeb:
They have an option for EUR, GBP or USD based cards. People have used it successfully as an US-based card for services like Netflix and Spotify (till some policy changes by those sites last year). It's considered to be a debit card though, not a credit card since you have to 'fund' it first using an existing credit card or bank transfer. I don't know if the Play Store accepts Entropay cards or even debit cards generally -- a small purchase first is worth a try, I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] piyush.nexus:
Finally Got my Nexus 4

Finally I Got my Nexus 4 :)

I have Galaxy Nexus but wanted to go for Nexus 4.

Its a real Beauty. I got a package with "custom open" cello tape on it.

The First thing i notice was how light it is and finger print on screen Protector.

so customs people played with it for a while.

they tried to transfer a image to my Nexus and it failed.

Customs Sucks in India :mad:

I will update the breakdown soon.
[Nexus 4 General] seltaeb:
I know some others are advising to keep you mobile for free, but... why not be honest about it and contact Google and let them know of the issue? They'll probably not charge for it anyways and if they do, well, it will be what you were expecting to pay to begin with :angel:
[Nexus 4 General] black_scorp_ion:
Nexus 4 Indian Thread [Pricing, Availability, Reviews, Support and More

lol..........
[Nexus 4 General] seltaeb:
I had this problem yesterday on Vodafone, Mumbai for nearly half a day. The 3G connectivity simply stopped working -- SIM was alright because I tested it with an iPhone (3G worked fine) and also tried using another SIM in the Nexus (no go there). The phone would detect 3G connectivity (showed H / H+) but with grayed out signal bars instead of blue. I even did a factory reset, restore to stock, create new APN, fiddle with *#*#INFO#*#* -- all no go.

Then in about 4-5 hours after a reboot it started working fine. It's been over 24 hours since and the issue has not recurred. While researching the problem, I found that quite a few people are experiencing this issue with the Nexus 4 -- mainly when connected to wifi for a long time and switching to 3G after that, as was the case with me. It's probably a bug and a software one, since it resolves for most people after a reboot or turning airplane mode on / off.
[Nexus 4 General] Shriharsh:

Use Skype... Its free and easy...

Nexus 7 has been launched in India and is available via Play Store for 16k including taxes and shipping. Looks like Nexus 4 might come soon.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
That's great news!! Although I don't believe the launch of Nexus 4 will happen before April end or May as by then in most of the countries where Nexus 4 has already been launched demands will drop with launch of S4 and HTC One. And it won't be cheaper than the price we have bought at, because they are selling a $199 version of Nexus 7 here for around $290 dollars (at roughly 55INR=1$). Similar Nexus 4 may be priced around 26-29k(Unsubsidized price by LG and similar to Optimus G at 30k). But the positive with launch shall be the availability of spare parts especially screen and digitizer and the rear glass panel as this is a delicate phone and its nice to know it can be repaired if any accident does occur. :)
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
Actually if the price difference is huge people will end up importing..

Earlier nexus 7 16 gb was priced at 17k right?

---------- Post added at 08:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

I just hope they provide warranty on imported phones as well.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
$199 version comes to about $230 including shipping+taxes. Since tablets demand a higher custom duty, a $60 price difference between India and US is pretty ok and you get warranty too.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I don't think they will provide warranty on imported phones and anyways I am not too worried about quality issues on Nexus 4 except those from initial batches, only thing I am worried about is breaking the glass back and scratching it badly despite all the care. Just that spare parts should be available in the eventuality of anything even if out of warranty.
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
And you think Google has to pay US sales tax if they are selling in india plus local US shipping?

Just compare the price difference for Apple products and you would know still they are charging higher prices.

If I'm not wrong Asus provides international warranty given that product is released in the country.
[Nexus 4 General] lovesingh25:
If nexus 4 launches on india it will be around 30k.

But at least we will have an option to get our phones repaired.

Also because of this i am hopeful that may be next nexus will

Launch in india.
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
Avoid BORDERLINX guys ! They do false advertising and you would be required to pay the local customs and duties. The Customer service rep's are of no help!

USE PPO Box. Much more professional !
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
Well. The same thing I was trying to tell a fellow Xda member ;)
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
No am not saying that, read the conversation and you'll know. Someone compared $199 price of N7 with Indian price of 15999. This is not correct as the Indian price is inclusive of all taxes where as US price is not. For better comparison, we need to compare final price in US which comes to about $230 with final price in India i.e 15999. When we do that, we find N7 is about INR 3500 costlier compared to US version, which is fine as Indian customs duty on non mobile electronic items is about 15-20%.

I checked ipad mini prices, there is a difference of 2.5k between US and Indian version. Between Nexus 7 there is difference of 3.5k. Apple sells their products for a profit, they usually make about 30% profit on each device and can absorb some costs to make the device cheaper and still make profit. Google is selling Nexus devices either at very less profit or at cost, it's not possible for them to absorb any costs.
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
In case you don't know there are few states in usa which are sales tax free. So not everybody is paying sales tax in USA.

And when you're doing comparison for price difference go by percentage not by absolute numbers.

And for ipad mini you didn't add sales tax at all :).

I agree that Apple has higher margins but that doesn't mean they are going to reduce margins by a lot for India . There are 2 things in my opinion which would make price difference between Indian and usa market but there could be few others e.g. Currency conversion etc.

1. Difference in Customs duty between India and US. US play store also needs to pay import duty since manufacturing is done in Korea.

2. Difference in Local taxes.
[Nexus 4 General] navino87:
Thanks for the advise bro.. I dont mind google charging my CC.. That's the reason i still didn't remove my CC information from google wallet.. Hoping someday they would charge the card.. Anyway, i will get in touch with google regarding this..
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
I did add sales tax for mini. $329 + $24(Not sure might be one two dollar more or less) = $353 which comes to about 19.5k and Mini is sold

in India for about 22k. Hence the 2.5k price difference.
