The good thing is that eBay system is slightly biased towards the buyer so the payment to the seller is only made after you've marked the item as received. So theoretically you can return the shipment and say that so so was the problem and demand a refund but if the seller wants to file a dispute it can go either way depending on the proofs you can reproduce. In fact, on eBay, there are instances when buyers accept the item but marked it as damaged on eBay, get a refund and don't even courier the item back. The system can be gamed in favour of the buyers which is why very few use it in the US now. It's mostly Amazon now.

Guys, My Gadgetshieldz front scratch guard for Nexus 4 sucks. I have been using it for 15 days. It provides friction to my dry fingers whenever I try to swipe from bottom to top. I think the problem will be the same for all wet application scratch guards.

Can Anyone please suggest any other scratch guards, pls !!! Is dry application scratch guards always better, Please share your experience!!! :fingers-crossed:

Also I am still without a cover for my nexus 4. So I ordered Rearth Ringke fusion case since I have read many positive reviews from this forum. I ordered for Rs.1184 from this site:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Google-Nexus-4-Ringke-Fusion-Premium-Hybrid-Hard-Case-Cover-Eco-Package-/271163370688

How much customs do I have to pay??? Any idea??

I ordered one more Nexus from play store using indian cc card. Shipping date is given as april 2nd. I'm going to import through HSG.

I'm just worried about chennai customs heavy duty. Other option is to get it delivered to bangalore and send it back to chennai.

What do you suggest? chennai customs charges heavy duty??

Google is doing verification of credit/debit cards. So mostly it is going to cancelled after 2 days.
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
Are you out of your mind? This is not a advisable thing to do.

His money is going to stuck with seller until he received the item and then knowingly reject it. It will take at least a month to get his money back. Also what if the item gets damaged when he is sending it back? Oh, and shipping charges?

For any listing having more than 5 days of shipping time needs explicit approval from buyer. Your seller has to raise this request. If you're not comfortable with timing Or you're worried about track order then don't give extension, you will get your refund.
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
dude like @admin856 said...ur order will most likely get cancelled...

Hello, What coupon code did you use? btw any idea how much time will it take to be delivered? I am confused whether to buy it from Indian Ebay Seller for 1500 or from here. Let me know

Thanks :)
[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
I am thinking of buying the ringke fusion directly from the eBay seller giving at 1,599 + 51.

He said if you come over to paradise and do a local pick up, he will give it for 1,500.

I can't wait any longer since mobilefun has again started displaying due in 1-2 weeks.

You never know when your device will fall and be rendered useless. So better get it ASAP.

Hey Guys,

This Holi, my friends smeared with some weird red color. The color is very stubborn and has started staining everything I touch (including my Nexus 4). The color has gotten from my hands on to the phone and the sides of the phone have this weird reddish tinge that's bothering me.

Anyone has any ideas as to how to clean the sides and get rid of the reddish tinge? I've already tried Ethanol but to no avail.
[Nexus 4 General] sulabhgupta:
What i was saying was in general to any listing on eBay. Of course you can ask for a refund if the seller wants extra time.

Has anyone figured out a workaround to order nexus 4 from google play USA?
[Nexus 4 General] obeliex:
Yes.You need to dispute it with in 45 days .I ordered 3 xline+2 TPu Nexus cases for $12.41 from a china seller via ebay.com & paid via paypal.

The seller with in 2 hours updated Posted Airmail.last 2 weeks I was emailing the seller .More than 20 days have passed.he was saying Wait. Today I called paypal & disputed it. I got the refund notiofication with in one hour.I think he never posted the Airmail in the first place.So anybody tells they have a great deal deal @$1.99 free airmail (no tracking) from China ,I have a bridge to sell.....:victory:
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
Well that's quite possible but to be fair I have received items like screen guards and stylus from china for even as low as $0.11 won by me in auction and all the way coming from china/hong kong. So i would have advised you to wait a bit more. You might get the package soon and the seller is already off his money. But quite possible seller was a cheat, many chinese sellers are so good you got the money back. It's always a gamble ordering from china anyways, just that if you get it, its a great deal, if not 99.9% you ll get the refund so nothing lost. :o:highfive:

Also many buyers were earlier doing it deliberately too to keep the product and claiming refund by abusing this system, hence in last 2 years suddenly the number of sellers shipping to India has dropped considerably, I used to order a lot from china everything from wireless mouse to Bluetooth at dirt cheap prices and never had any problems, but now most such cheap deals have shipping exclusion to India because of high number of disputes arising and mostly fraudulent and PayPal buyer protection is such that its almost 100% given it will go in buyer's favour. Feel bad for genuine buyers and miss those deals now.

\m/ Finally my nexus 4 cleared from customs \m/

I received an email from FEDEX regarding the custom clearance for my Nexus 4 16gb ordered from jadopado and surprisingly it was quite reasonable :victory: @1600rs(cleared from delhi customs i guess).I will get by tomorrow hopefully :angel:.

Very fast shipping and good support i must say.

Icing on the cake was that forex charges were debited back to my account. :cowboy:

After almost a month of cancelled orders and lot of wasted time, i got it at a reasonable price.

Thanks guys for the support and helping me order.:highfive:

I will try to help those who haven't yet got their nexus,ask if u have any question?? :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
That is good. Now enjoy Nexus 4 once you get it :good:

[Nexus 4 General] tejjammy:
Did you use any discount codes? Can you please post the customs breakup? Also is Chennai customs better or Mumbai? Thanx :D
[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
Just got the ringke fusion case from eBay seller paylessindia. Went for a local pickup. He gave it for 1500. A nice guy in his 40's or 50's, named krishnaswamy. He even offered warranty of 6 months for the case. Let's se how that pans out.

Looks just amazing. Also, I don't see any issues in the button feedback of the case, as reported before.

Regarding the wet spots, will report later...
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I too have been using it since yesterday, no problem at all in button feedback. I guess those were in the initial lot of cases only going by reviews on Amazon. Earlier they made buttons flush with case, now they are using softer plastic on the buttons hence the problem has been solved. Its the best case in my opinion, although am impatiently waiting for the flip case. This one doesnt add bulk and looks nice and no problem in swiping since whole screen is unobstructed. But am wary of the plastic back to get scratched, atleast its protecting the glass back of Nexus. :good:

Guys can I use the charger that comes up with the pack. Should I buy any converter .
[Nexus 4 General] Fractalnoize:
can you please post the breakdowns..... :)
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Of course you can. The charger works on both 110v and 230v. You'll just need a pin converter as the charger may not go into the regular Indian plug.
[Nexus 4 General] Sathish kumar:
Thanks a lot dude . You tested it ? :p
[Nexus 4 General] paragk:

[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Using the stock charger since I bought the device in January. I usually plug it on my computer spike guard in which it goes in without any converter.

[Nexus 4 General] gurasees:
@tejjammy yes i used jplovesyou. :good:

@shin2_D Initially Rs.22,768 were deducted from the card i used and then i received a message saying that my forex charges have been refunded(don't know if its a promotion or something). :victory:

@maxdiablodefy bro i filled in same details in both (don't know what's the difference ).I guess maybe billing address is the address on your credit card and shipping address is self explanatory. :cowboy:

@franctalnoize Bro not sure about the custom breakdown. :o

Actually as soon as i got my device shipped and got the tracking no I called fedex.Told them that last time i was charged exceptionally high customs and i think that a company like FEDEX must ensure that Proper custom duties are levied ;) .After a long argument she spoke to her senior and told me that they'll try to get my custom charges as low as possible and will inform me of the same.Then when my device reached india and cleared customs i was informed that the total amount i need to pay to the delivery guy is Rs.1600+300(paperwork stuff).I will tell you about the custom breakup when i get the actual delivery invoice as the email had no such details.

I Hope i solved your queries.:) Press thanks if i helped :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] zubin111:
Exactly, I too have received everything till now, and even while interacting with some of the sellers they say that there are a lot of refunds arising out of here and in spite of selling and shipping it out they had to refund. I think people here just want everything for free, if they find a way they will claim it and brag about it as is the same case with paid apps.. people bypass the hard work of the devs and take great pride in downloading apk's and spreading this "wealth of knowledge" with everyone...
[Nexus 4 General] gurasees:
I used a friend's ICICI bank credit card.use "jplovesyou" coupon to get a final price of $404 including shipping to india.You can only use a Visa debit card.

After u order from the website you need an authorization code from your bank so i suggest do not use any public sector because the ain't know a **** about authorization code,use a good reputed bank as they will help insure smooth transaction.
[Nexus 4 General] akash bahai:
What's the status of your order? I bought on Saturday and they haven't even bought the product till now.
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
For the rearth rigke fusion ordered directly from rearth USA, coupon code doesn't seem to work.

Anyway I was totally charged Rs.1184. I don't know about customs though.

They told they will ship within 1 day and will take 5 days to reach me. I will let you know, once it reaches me.

guys i am in a fix.I use vodafone sim and yesterday i came back from a trip to costal karnataka.From the time i returned back to bangalore,my phone shows Roaming i.e. a small R sign. i even cannot connect to internet.Any solutions?
[Nexus 4 General] akash bahai:
use acetone instead of ethanol.
[Nexus 4 General] seltaeb:
I assume you have tried rebooting. Additionally, if u haven't done so already, try the following:

- Turning data roaming off and on

- Manually search for operators and selecting your home operator

- Check / reset APN settings

- Pop SIM out and back in

All else failing -- factory reset, though this should not be necessary at all.
[Nexus 4 General] chetan_mohanty:
Did factory reset..n now the roaming icon problem is solved.i usually punch in *#*#4636#*#* and select wcdma preferred.But now I cannot connect to Vodafone,only selecting gsm works.But then I can't use 3G..any solutions?

Customs, Octroi, etc. has to be paid to the courier guy by you, additionally if you order from JadoPada
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Nexus 4 uses a Slimport connector for connecting external displays and not MHL. The description says it's a MHL cable so it won't work with

Nexus 4. I don't know why the title says it works with Nexus 4. Message the seller and ask him.

AFAIK there are no slimport cables on ebay India. Try Global Easybuy or in.mobilefun.com.
[Nexus 4 General] ramkumar2000:
If u are from mumbai than u can go to lamington road u will get it in less than 1k

flipkart also sells callmate micro usb to hdmi cable in 990rs
[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:
Yeah, I have asked the seller, a week back he had no such listing and he told me not to go for MHL cable as it won't work on Nexus 4. But now he has listed it for Nexus 4.

Let's see if it does and what the seller says. GeB option makes the cost 10 times!

---------- Post added at 12:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

What flipkart is selling for 1k, eBay seller is giving for 300 here http://www.ebay.in/itm/Callmate-Mic...Mobile_Accessories&hash=item3cd048db6b&_uhb=1. There is no point spending so much for just a little cable connection. A good quality cable should cost anything from 100 to 400...

That flipkart thing is also MHL so one is not sure if it will work since Nexus 4 doesn't have MHL display support.

my experiance with ishopinternational

hello all,

thanks everyone in this forum and specially this thread for helping me purchase the nexus 4.

well i have been following this thread since early early february,that was the time when stocks were back and nexus was being shipped in a timely manner and

the customs were reasonable too...but i was in short of money and was a bit skeptical too...so i waited ...then came march with the increased customs duties

...and by mid of march google has started scanning for cc and db address too... I was losing hope of owning this phone...and thats when on mar 14 I went to ishopinternational and calculated a quote for 23169....well ,I thought with all the uncertainties around , that indeed was a fair price...so i immediately clicked the 'buy now' button and immediately got a mail saying your order has been purchased!!!!.accidentally though I made two quote calculations for the same above price...ofcourse

i only paid for one.Interestingly,after about one week, got a mail from ishop for the second quote stating that the order has been confirmed for 25xxx,,do u want

to continue...well i told them that i have already paid and that the second quote maybe cancelled...

then started the endless wait.:mad:..tracking status would show -- awaiting item from seller..!! after bout 12 days i started contacting them through chat

and soon i got another mail...that your order has been purchased... not again...that was on mar 25...on 29th i did another chat session hoping they have received

it from google.....well surprise ...nexus 4 seems to have left mumbai hub:good:... it reached my city on 29 and i picked it up on 1st april...:victory:

meantime i also got delivery of rinke fusion from GEB ebay and also gadgetsheildz full body protection....except for the tracking ishop did a wonderful job..

no customs hassle, low price, and unopened box... recommended.

this is my first post on xda...hope nothings wrong... and that somebody is benefited

thankyou all ones again...
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:

All.those living in Mumbai can go to thakur village,kandivili east.there is a cinema hall named thakur cinema.opposite to it is a shop named rajguru mobiles ans accessories.they have nexus 4 in stock 16gb for 23k rupees......

:D
[Nexus 4 General] surej_84:
yes thats a great price ....interestingly they had given me another quote for 25000 also ...but that was after about 1 week after my request...

maybe you shouldnt give them time to think....
