[Nexus 4 General] amit.surana:
Same is the case with me also.. U need to tell them to change the value to $349 otherwise there can be a problem while custom clearance..

Currently they are showing amount to be paid around $70..which is very high while my axis bank debit card and hdfc credit card is also not working with their payment option..

[Nexus 4 General] balamu96m:
the hype is most probably because of their previous phone....even the S3's Exynos doesn't have a proper documentation & hence users and devs feel closed to wait for samsung, are forced to use CM to update.......

Even not all phones have a fully working CM and that makes people jealous of Nexus users, including me......

There Google was smart in introducing a new top phone at a killer price........

Thats it....the hype around is obvious!! :D

BTW, i'm still waiting for a decision to rope up this beast!
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Thanks for the honest review :)

The craze is till a small extent because of the brand and till a large extent because of exclusivity. Similar reasons to why the iPhone was/is so popular in India. Not many people could source it or afford it. And it was Apple. Similarly, this is a Google Nexus device, unreleased in India and probably won't be for a month or two. Plus the obvious advantages of having cutting edge updates for a long long time.

Like you, the S3 was way too common within my friend circle and the Note 2 looks unreasonably big for me. And no other phone compares to those two except the Nexus 4. And when you're getting it for 22-23k, people are obviously going to pounce.
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
if you are not a gadget geek then this phone may not be for you because there are other worthy competitors out there, as you rightly said.

I would buy it because of the cost and quick updates from Google, no other reason.

And it's craze is not proportional to the activity in this thread. :D
[Nexus 4 General] abhi2889:
I also bought it for timely updates and bang for money. I was tired of waiting for jelly bean on my s2. Also in India there is very less amount of people who knows about this phone. In my office, majority of people didn't recognise phone even though I am working in an IT company. :rolleyes:

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
I own an S2 and I like to run stock ROM's.I wasn't able to run fully working CM on my S2 due to closed nature of Exynos 4410 SoC. Even after protests and repeated promises from samsung to release sources by end of year they failed to do so and that is the major reason am moving to Nexus 4. I don't care about fancy features liek smart stay and others which Samsung has in it's touchwiz interface.

Samsung was good with GB on S2, it was slick and faster than any device.As time went on they are adding more and more half baked features making the phone a resource hog which I dislike. S2 was my last OEM phone. I plan to buy Nexus devices from now on even if they have inferior specs.

Waiting for my Nexus 4 to be delivered in 2-3 days.
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
I live in Amritsar which comes under Punjab circle and I just wanted to ask is that in which network provider will 3g work best on my nexus 4

. I have an Aircel sim right now and reliance does not allow MNP.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Nexus 4 has support for Indian 3g frequency. So any provider will work just as good.

I currently use s2 and have checked idea 3g in Goa, AP, karnataka, kerela, Mumbai, WB, Sikkim and did not find any difference from my wife's airtel 3g.

borderlinx is sucking big time. Even after asking them to correctly categorize my phone, they haven't done so.

Currently it shows the following

Retailer	EBAY 1Z7F38dvdgdgdfgdfgfdgdgdg

Items 1 x Google Nexus 4 Phone 16GB - Unlocked

Date received 02-Jan-2013

Weight 0.45 kg

Value USD 200.0

I am mulling at multiple options right now.

Ship the items as it is from borderlinx, that will mean

shipping 24$+Duty 19.67$+ fuel surcharge 2.4$ + safetylinx 10$= 56.07 USD

ship without safetylinx

shipping 24$+Duty 19.67$+ fuel surcharge 2.4$ = 46.07 USD

Ask them to change shipper, correct the goods value and then ship which will mean mandatory safetylinx charges for goods above 250$ which is coming to

shipping 24$+Duty 13$+ fuel surcharge 2.4$ + safetylinx 10$= 49 USD. I did this using their cost calculator.

what you folks suggest, i was thinking of option 2 without the safetylinx. How important is this?
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
I ordered the poetic bumper and a xtream screen guard... both cost me around 800 INR.. also in total it will cost you around 1.2K with shipping and custom if you ship with the phone itself.

Tips: Activate the Amazon Prime account and get the product shipped in 2 days :D

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AA281D6/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AG0D52O/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00

I used for the nexus purchase, it will charge a currency exchange of 3.5% of the value of the purchase. so 21000*0.035 = around 800... Alson dont forget some crazy fees that we have to pay for using the credit card.... totally 800+300... somewhat....

lets see I will get the credit card bill in some days...

Guys, does Hopshopgo automatically consolidates all the packages in your account? They do not ship anything unless you pay the shipping charges beforehand, right?

SNS ships them as soon as they receive the package (May be this could be the reason they do not offer consolidated shipping). They ask you to pay them on delivery.

I ordered the poetic bumper from ebay.in for Rs.1399 and cheap screen protector for Rs.80. So not bad when compared to amazon. Right?

Because a simple mistake could destroy a phone just like that.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
It will support both, as is the standard for any phone which is available internationally [well europe and usa]. But you will need an adapted to plug into circular plugs which is common in India. [ Good spike guards and modern houses though don't need it]

How do you do that on a stock rooted rom? [If you have done so]

[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Well, you had posted that you will be selling it or repairing it here and are not going to RMA it. Probably they didn't see your updates.(I also couldn't find any post of yours indicating that you are going to RMA it though). I actually even saw a similar listing of a person who bricked their nexus 4 on ebay and was selling it for some 10k. Thought it was you.

Anyway, thanks for clearing that up. :)

Don't worry. Quite a few people here have put the same address and haven't faced any issues so far. The invoice is electronically sent. When the package arrives, they will get only the shipment information.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Someone called ROME in google play support taking care of my RMA mailed me and says , I have one full year after the purchase to process an RMA.

This conflicts with the Google Returns/Replacement where they say I have 15 days

This is Google Play Lol... They are themselves confused..

That is why RMA is most likely on the cards

---------- Post added at 05:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:35 PM ----------

BTW, those of you who've ordered from comGateway (or HopShopGo), how much time did it take for the phone to reach you from their address? Any customs/item categorizing issues?
[Nexus 4 General] tempusviator:
yaa, it would be advisable to specifically inform them to categorize your merchandise as a Cell phone because many of the fellow members had theirs categorized as laptops etc which attracts a custom of 14 % in lieu of actual 2%(for cell phones)

[Nexus 4 General] SahilC:
Hey guys :)

Sorry that I haven't read much, only a couple of pages.

My dad lost his Gnex, and he was really interested in getting n4. Are there any disadvantages against the GNex?

I'm sure it's a great phone, but how does the glass feel? Does it feel too delicate? I've never really used LG before, so I'm not really sure about it's quality :P
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Quality wise phone is great. All reviews have said the build quality is excellent compared to Gnex.

There were some hardware issues reported with earlier batches but haven't seen many people speak of issues with the second batch that started

shipping about 6-7 days back.

The only problem currently is it's unavailable for ordering. if you need one urgently you will need to buy it off ebay for 35k+ or wait for Google to open orders and buy it from play store and ship to India via package forwarding sites, the total cost coming to about 23-25k.
[Nexus 4 General] SahilC:
Great :D

Yea, actually my dad will probably have a cousin or a colleague coming over from the US, so he'll wait for them to come (free overseas shipping :P)
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
In case of hopshopgo, we inform them about the category after the package is delivered to US address, right? OR do we inform them well in adavance?
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Well, 15 day policy is for no questions asked returns. Now i guess you can get it repaired only. Or did ROME told you that yours will be replaced?
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
I think it'll be safe inform them after it reaches, because I think HopShopGo, like ComGateway requires us to pay shipping before it leaves their premises (unlike Aramex). So I'll only pay if they make sure of the category.
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
Google does not require you have the same shipping and billing address. Google requires both these address to be Us addresses.The freight services provide you with a shipping address not a billing address almost all of them have a said or unsaid rule asking you not to use so.

However, since you dont have a US credit card and consequently no US billing address, using your shipping address as billing address works. Its not exactly legit, but google doesnt care to validate this as long as they get their money. Its just a harmless workaround. Nevertheless not correct.

Please try and be more polite, its a public forum, you are indeed talking to everybody.
