Knowabouts - Cart2India

ok so after all discussions about cart2india and words with their representatives

considering there is no second time extension.

i bought 16gb on 7th november.... probably and under listing 10

and the extension ends on 5th december i.e. three days from now..:laugh::laugh::laugh:

:fingers-crossed:

lets see what happens... they might ship from new jersey on 5th with what ever number of phones they got...

and hoping they don't ask for second extension.

getting this device is more worry-able.. than the end of earth in december 2012..

even if it ends in dec 2012... i want nexus 4 in my hand atleast a day before Apocalypse :D :o
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Judging by how things are going right now, maybe people fighting over Nexus 4 is what's going to cause the Apocalypse. :P
[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
Thanks and Updated.. :)

I ordered from shopyourworld yesterday considering they offer a discount on ICICI cc... Tried calling their helpline no to no effect... Now it's a long wait just to confirm when does it actually ship...
[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
you can use express shipping.. you can get it in 10-14 days..
[Nexus 4 General] akkiman:
I purchased nexus 4th on the 13th november, and was on a 3week backorder.

Finally last week it was shipped to my SnS mailbox (Shop&Ship) and currently is on the way to India.

There was a 10% discount of shipping the nexus 4 phone, and I'm paying about 566rs for shipping + 2.06% on customs so ~480 + maybe octroi.

So I'll get it for around 21.5k. Hopefully I'll receive the phone on Tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] gnan10:
hi mate will u please telll me that which import option u selected to buy this device... as i am planning to place order through that address....
[Nexus 4 General] akshaysanwal:
Please let me know how your experience with SnS mailbox was. I might be using in the coming future for my Nexus.

How much did it cost for the entire shipping process to get it to your doorstep. Including Customs/Tax and everything else.
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
yeah do update us on shipping..

:victory:
[Nexus 4 General] gnan10:
i am going to place order on google play with HOPSHOPGO's address....please tell me whether is it ok to ship with that site? can we believe such site please reply me guys....i am nervous.... :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Why dont you read last 10 pages of the forum??

you will clear all your doubts and for free 1KG shipping see the first post of last page.. :D
[Nexus 4 General] rahulsampath:
Hey guys I found a coupon code for Shopyourworld.com. Use this " CYBMONDAY ", You will get a Rs.2000 discount and the final price will be Rs.24774/-

BUT

I AM WARNING YOU, SHOPYOURWORLD HAVE A VERY BAD REVIEW AND IF SOMETHING GO WRONG YOU WONT GET THE REFUND FOR AT LEAST 5 MONTHS.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
HOPSHOPGO as far as I know is owned by Paypal. I dont think there is any fraud in it. The only thing to consider is

what would be your shipping like in terms of charges

what customs will charge ( its 2.06% for mobiles as far as i know)

HOPSHOPGO doesn't specify what custom duty would be there. But i think they will pay for the custom duty on behalf and ask you to pay at delivery, IT is aroung $25 cheaper than borderlinx as order is shipped in taxfree state.. [edited]

Borderlinx charge i all inclusive.

SnS - I dont know

NOW NO ONE SHOULD ASK THIS SAME QUESTION AGAIN PLZ
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Caps are considered as rude and such size is considered as shout..

Hi,

I got my shipping email on 30th of Nov from Play Store. However, I've shipped it to PPOBox address:

<Name> 250 West 40th Street 8th Floor, PPO # <ppo_unique_number> New York, NY, 10018, USA

From what I am reading the PPO part in the address has caused issues for some other folks here. Can someone please confirm if UPS will cancel my shipment even after shipment label has been created. If so, is there a way to circumvent this so I don't have to place an order all over again?
[Nexus 4 General] m0h1t:
No, check pm.
[Nexus 4 General] Evil0verlord:
well, the iphone and oneX are Best screens in the business.

The screen in nex4 is really good from a manufacturing, specs and capability point of view

But isn't calibrated.. They didn't even try

Only apple and HTC try to

So they giver better deltaE and color accuracy

post that it doesn't matter.. It's a failure on their part not to calibrate it..Buit the whites are good. Not as good as the iphone. but close, I'd say 9/10 if iphone was 10, also given that its not calibrated, thats another issue.

I used an iphone of a friend ages ago. Don't have one now for side by side comparison.

Thats cos the S3 has an AMOLED screen. richer black cos off pixels, but AMOLED over-saturates colours. Hence Gnex looked colours were bright and popped out. But Nex4 reproduces natural tones. I'd choose the N4 over the Gnex/S3 display anyday.

condemnatory neyaper

I saw one but cant post link coz i am a newbie...can u post link so to be sure i saw d same one.

No custom duty or anything else rite? 10.66$ to be exact??
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
Here- http://www.ebay.com/itm/151015527303?var=450160226407

Its the one I ordered for $9.66. With paypal conversion changes it costed me Rs.545.61 to be exact.

As for the customs, this is always a gamble from china however for a $10 item which is usually marked by the Chinese sellers as Gift I don't think there should be any customs. Anyways that may vary still customs wont be much on this. At the most the item won't arrive and get lost in post in that case open dispute with paypal. :fingers-crossed:

Working Fine

I have been using my Nexus 4 for about a week now. Everything working perfectly. I'm on a custom rom though
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
It is a known issue affecting stock roms only. I too am tired of missing the notifications and all due to it.

Shall root on Sunday if I get time, and flash a new kernel which will eliminate this problem.

Search the forums here, you will get the solution, even here check a few pages back for solution.
[Nexus 4 General] sulabhgupta:
has anyone ordered from dx dot com? it has the same cover for $13.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I have ordered from Dealextreme thrice in past but my experience hasn't been good. Out of the three times I ordered I got the item only once. And they don't even refund to Paypal but in form of store credit so that money has still been stuck there for me.
[Nexus 4 General] sulabhgupta:
just wanted to ask you guys, how big is the connectivity issue (wifi+data+bluetooth) that's plaguing the Nexus 4? I am thinking of buying it but i'm not too keen on putting another ROM on it.
[Nexus 4 General] djain1989:
I am using the device out of the box without any customization or whatsoever and have no connectivity issues at all.
[Nexus 4 General] rbrblitz:
Same here. On stock and everything works perfectly!
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
Well then I think you don't leave your phone connected to Wifi for prolong periods or maybe don't use Whatsapp much over wifi. And if that's not the case then good for you but i personally have been frustated with this. So shall root it soon.

I have this problem exclusively on Wifi, no problem at all over 3G/2G. Once connected to Wifi, the push notifications of apps that use internet are delayed once screen is off by about 3-20 mins. Once screen is switched on they all come together or themselves popup after the said delay. Also its a well known issue here on xda affecting the users of stock kernel on 4.2.2.
[Nexus 4 General] djain1989:
All of them works flawlessly for me.

Sounds stupid, but may I ask you to check of the problem persists after installing viber?

I have a question

how much memory is available for user on stock rom and custom rom ?

thanks in advance !!

[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
been using nexus 4 for over 1 week and no issues whatsoever with the connectivity or anything, I am on stock rom as well.

btw i had purchased it from the Indian Ebay Seller for 25705. I just went ahead and clicked the "Confirm - I have received the item" button on ebay and my credit card was charged with 654 rs as processing fees, wonder why was that :| rest of you guys avoid doing that :P

I want to buy the Ringke Fusion Case - Where should I buy it from ? Ebay Indian Seller or from Rearth Seller on Ebay ?
[Nexus 4 General] zubin111:
Item received confirmation has no charge, and it does not affect anything. The charge you are talking about should mostly be related to 6 months EMI processing fees or something else. There is no connection between item receipt confirmation and processing fees and no need to avoid doing that. I have bought hundreds of things from the site and nothing like this has happened.
[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
Don't MISGUIDE people. That has nothing to do with the delivery confirmation. If you won't confirm the delivery seller doesn't get credit and has to wait for ebay's deadline.

As other member said mostly theses are processing e.g. EMI charges which would have been displayed on the payment page.

You can always call customer care for any clarification.
[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
Oh sorry guys, my bad, actually when I clicked "item recieved" it showed that a charge of Rs 654 has been made on your credit card something. must be of the EMI thing then.
[Nexus 4 General] sulabhgupta:
this connectivity issue is all over the internet which is why i asked. i mean, who wants to risk buying a phone which has a huge bug like this. it is also my understanding that this does not affect all phones.

A tip to abhishekagrawal to turn Wifi-saver off if he hasn't already.
[Nexus 4 General] mohit_delhi:
how long does it take for shipping to arrive at your doorstep from these chinese sellers? In case of dispute do they refund money or offer to ship again only?
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I have that off still the problem.

It can vary, however for me while I was in Bangalore used to take about 10 days to 30 days, if not received within 30 days then it had never come.

Here in Delhi I have always received after 20 days of ordering.

Paypal dispute always refunds but seller gives you option of refund or reship in the dispute console, its better you opt for refund and then place another order since the time is limited to 45 days of transaction, if it doesn't come after reship also, you shall be off your money too and no item.

charging nexus 4 in india

Hi guys,

I just got my nexus 4 in India. Can you tell me how I can charge nexus 4 without connecting it to computer?

I want to connect it to my wall socket and charge. Should i get a adapter? Please post link from which i can buy the adapter.

Please advice. Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] mohit_delhi:
yes u can buy from local electrical good shop or online u can look for in ebay..let me know if u r not able to find one
[Nexus 4 General] mrao:
No issues experienced so far.. have been using the phone extensively for the past two days.. WiFi always on when at home, 3g always on while outside... But I'm on a custom ROM with Franco kernel.. Maybe that's a stock only issue
[Nexus 4 General] mrcet007:
Thanks! What is this converter called? what should i search for in ebay?

[Nexus 4 General] mohit_delhi:
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Universal-Al..._Players_Recorders&hash=item4171c049c2&_uhb=1

there are many more there at various price points..just search for universal adapter..
[Nexus 4 General] mrcet007:
Thanks!

I dont think i could see the port to which i can plug my nexus charger to this adapter. Just want to make sure it works before i order it.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
There is a ARP offloading bug in Wifi driver of Nexus 4 which delays notifications. Qualcomm has released fix along with new driver and is

available in many of the custom kernels.

Either flash the custom kernels or wait for Google to release the fix with next Android update.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Here are some pics. The case is nice...
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
It looks really nice! I too received my Ringke Fusion I ordered off GEB today. And cost me Rs.1227(after 400 off using ebay WTF sale coupon) The fit is excellent and not adding any considerable bulk to phone. Much much better than TPU case. Shall post pics later at night. :):good:

For answering the phone, why not answer it and flip the cover back onto the screen? Like people do with Samsung flip covers, there is cut out on top for speaker as I can see and screen will be off due to proximity sensor with flip cover on. Then again flip and hang up. You will get used to it soon.

Also use the Intellicover app from play store, its really must have if you use a flip cover. Here is the link- https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDMsImNvbS5kcmFnb25uaXMuaW50ZWxsaWNvdmVyIl0.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Thanks Abhishek. Yes, for answering the phone the way you suggested looks good. That didn't come to my mind :p

I downloaded this app but after installing that, to answer the phone I have to go to notifications and then answer the call. That is cumbersome :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
I just installed and tested this, in my case, on receiving the call the app is getting disabled unless i answer the phone. Till the call is coming and i don't pick then only the answer screen is there, no matter if I cover the proximity sensor or not. Maybe requires some change of settings. Please hit and try with settings and see, it should work. My brother uses this app on his note 2 no problem for him. I dont have flip cover yet so not in my daily use.
[Nexus 4 General] OrrPenn18:
There are three fixes. One works for some, the same doesn't for another. Its all jumbled up.

Still, Qualcomm are fixing their code, lets see when they totally fix it.

Guys our nexus 4 is being protected by gorilla glass 2 right. The same glass covers note 2 as well right. But the one on nexus 4 attracts less dust then note 2. Is there any difference I am missing?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
For me the fix in motley kernel works fine

Sent from LG Google Nexus 4 using XDA Premium

---------- Post added at 06:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:23 PM ----------

The only property Gorilla glass has its that it's scratch resistant. Gathering dust has nothing to do with gorilla glass but with coating that's present on the glass. I know most phones these days come with oleophobic coating. Nexus 4 might have some coating which reduces dust gathering.

[Nexus 4 General] admin856:
Yeah. This tells nexus 4 has inferior screen.
[Nexus 4 General] OrrPenn18:
For me it didn't, now trying theracemin's kernel with new CA drivers.
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
guys i just had an idea...i dont think google will check the billing address when you order a replacement device...

so if you know anyone who have a nexus 4 in india, call google using skype and say that your phone has some problem and that you want a replacement device...then google will send you a link where you can order your replacement device(ur credit card will be authorized for 349$ only) and you'll have 21 days to return the previous device back to google...but if you dont send the old device back, u can keep both the new one and the old one...u dont have to pay any tax nor shipping charges...

what do you think guys..?
[Nexus 4 General] Shin2_D`:
Good idea :good:

jadopado is charging $354.14 + 32.61(Shipping) = $386.75 for N4 8GB. Anyone know of a better/cheaper option... ? I think the price doesn't include customs...?
[Nexus 4 General] Shin2_D`:
Friends, I have ordered Nexus 4 from iShopInternational for INR 24,577/- on Wednesday

I tried buying from U.S. playstore, but failed 2 times after getting my ordered rejected due to Indian credit card. google now started to block other credit cards except U.S. CC.

I have done RnD for past few weeks on how to get Nexus 4 sealed pack from playstore at a cheap rate..

So after RnD, i found 2 site which gives at a lowest rate.

1.JadoPado eCommerce site

2.iShopInternational

So, first i ordered from JadoPado using my Netsafe HDFC Debit card but stucked because they need Authorization code/Transaction code before ordered is processed. i contacted HDFC CC but found no such code exist. So i decided to cancel the order for few more reason. I heard jadopado package get charge with high customs when reach in India.

Price Structures:

Nexus 4: $372(Actual cost $422, got discount of $50)

Shipping: $32

Custom: No idea(Depends on customs office charge)

So the actual cost will go till $425 atleast(INR 23,500)

After getting my ordered cancelled myself, i moved to ishopinternational.

iShopInternational is a site where they buy stuff for us from U.S. and get it delivered, Simple.

we need to request quote from them, i got a quote of INR 24,577(cheapest deal for Nexus 4 i ever got till now)

One Con's is Delivery time takes almost 15 to 20 days(but i can bear it as my exams is completes on April 7 and i want after exams completes ;))

Hoping to get my Nexus 4 from ishopInternational soon
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
He said Nexus 4 collects less dust then Note 2. How does that make Nexus 4 screen inferior?

The screen so lauded in iPhones is the same IPS screen made by LG. The only problem with Nexus 4 screen is out of box calibration done

by Google isn't as good and can be fixed by flashing alternate kernels.
[Nexus 4 General] nipponsahore:
Hey guys.. In in a big issue....

I ordered a nexus 4 16 gig from play store using an Indian credit card...

I tried twice using my original mail id.. And it got cancelled twice..

Finally I ordered by creating a different us email id on the 20th of march... Using an Indian credit card.. I got the hold immediately.. On 28th March they released my money from the bank.. Now today.. I got charged again..today

And on Google wallet it says.. My purchase is getting processed.. So guys help me whats going on...

On play store it says.. Your order should be shipped by 29.. And still no update on shipping.. Guys help..how I can handle the issue.. I'm I getting the device or not..

If any issues they can't cancel the order..
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
It's a game of patience and time for prayer! If you're lucky your order will go through (Bleak chances) else it will be refunded.

In the meanwhile call Google today night itself, because today is 30th and they the shipping date as 29th.

Call them, act stern. Say that your friends who ordered along with you received the phone. But remember be Polite.
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:
U never know u might get lucky.... BTW i emailed them they replied that it will be shipped by 29th then after a while it got cancelled....
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
Hopefully u'll get ur device...in the initial days when there was 4-5 weeks waiting period, google charged the same way u have described....first they use to hold the funds and release them back and then when the device is ready to be shipped, they would keep a hold on it again...

dont expect anything to happen in the weekend...wait till Wed and if you have no updates till then, mail them @ googleplay-support@google.com
[Nexus 4 General] nipponsahore:
Thank you guys.. Lets wait and see...
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
That sounds like very good news. If your Play Store Orders page shows a shipping date rather than "pre-ordered", that is equivalent to "Google Inc. has received your order" bullet point in the old format of Google Wallet Transactions page. Wait until Tuesday before you do anything, because not much happens during weekends.

Just curious - after creating a different US email ID, which credit card did you use? The same one that you had used on the previous account where your orders got cancelled or a completely new one that you hadn't used anywhere?
[Nexus 4 General] d3xt3r:
Hey guys.. M bit weak in this topic...what if I use an SBI international debit card.. Will it still be cancelled???? Please reply
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
at the moment, YES it will be cancelled...

moreover dont use debit card...u'll be charged FX fee thrice as opposed to once when u use a credit card....

After a lot of debate whether to buy from play store or from Ebay, I finally ordered my Nexus 4 from ebay india.

I got 7.5% off after using the code. Now I'm waiting for the shipping. Cost is INR 24,965 after the discount.

Other buyers from ebay, how were your experiences?
[Nexus 4 General] nipponsahore:
The same ICICI credit card...
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
8 or 16?
[Nexus 4 General] sulabhgupta:

If it's for 16gb then link please.
[Nexus 4 General] sulabhgupta:
i am unable to post a link for search on ebay.in for nexus 4 and you'll find it. the price is after a 7.5% discount coupon WEEKENDER013.

I have a question.

I need to order the phone from ebay.com (not ebay.in) and get it delivered somewhere within the US itself. What I want to know is are there any restrictions to me doing that? Do I need a PayPal account with $400 balance in it? I have a PayPal account but I don't have any balance in it.

I'm not sure if others can access it
[Nexus 4 General] sulabhgupta:
You shouldn't be buying from a seller with a feedback of 1. He doesn't have any track record. You can consider http://www.ebay.in/itm/Nexus-4-16GB...ones&hash=item3a7fb57604&_uhb=1#ht_500wt_1156 or http://www.ebay.in/itm/BRAND-NEW-SE...nes&hash=item27d15ea565&_uhb=1#ht_5410wt_1139.

[Nexus 4 General] tejjammy:

[Nexus 4 General] abhishekagrawal:
The listing says shipping after 4th April and delivery in 2-3 weeks, so the seller shall be sending you extend shipping time and delivery request, you can decline if you wish to cancel the transaction. Full amount shall be refunded.

Thanx for the headers. I'll wait and watch. I found the seller on fb. Seems to be a nice guy. Haven't added him though.
