For all those waiting for courier to contact them and pick up their devices:

Can we ourselves can send them the device on their mentioned address??Because I cant wait this long and also i dont have any spare device.

I have even asked the same question to google's support team and Im waiting for their reply.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Thing is if you initiate it, you may need to pay courier charges which can be pretty steep. Best to ship thru their recommended logistical partner. And any loss or damage during transit is their problem

I bought my N5 from LG Shoppe OMR chennai,4 days ago.... got a 32gb black and it was the last piece...lucky considering i didnt pre order.... i asked him if i had missed that , wen would 32gb restock.... he told me that what i got was 2nd batch and 3rd batch wil come on 10th dec only.... this news is for retail stores only, but maybe this is the reason for delay in play store order (y)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I think this is also the reason for delays or a go-slow in picking up of faulty RMAed handsets. I am not very confident Google has stocks for RMAs either.
[Nexus 5 General] ankitkhedekar:
Yes i know. But their recommended partner is Bluedart right?? So can we use bluedart ??

Also i have no idea about the charges. If you have any can you please tell the approx price.

The address mentioned by them is near mumbai itself, so i thought of considering this option.
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
yea i dont think they do !!! :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] emceeb:
Anyone got one from LG store in Mumbai ?
[Nexus 5 General] netcitizen:
how much did you pay ? did you get any accessories free ?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Remember Google uses both FedEx and Blue Dart. Best to give either one a call and enquire about shipping charges to Bhiwandi on the outskirts of Mumbai.

But seriously, as long as your phone is functional then it is ok to wait a while. If you have a backup phone you can start using that because it will take Google up to 7 days to replace the handset. Thing is I am not sure if they have stocks for replacement.

I am anxiously waiting for my Note 3 so I can pack the Nexus 5 in its box & keep it ready for pickup. Should be here within a few hours.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I bought mine from the one at Chembur.
[Nexus 5 General] sumeshpremraj:
How much premium over Play Store pricing?
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
i paid 34k but i dint mind the 1k extra regarding the delays with google play store..... i got mine on spot , was in the shop for like 5 mins or so, jus bought n came out.... beats waiting for delivery.... and no defects found, headphones suck, no gifts,power rattle is there(although its not considered a defect since every N5 has the same issue,it was made that way)and although i got like a wallet,pen and keychain frm LG and d wallet which i liked from the outside cuz it looked slim n leathery , but it has a shiny engraving of the lg shoppe franchise.... might have to scratch it off...

and im happy its directly frm LG ,cuz even though i get future probs, warranty is there =D so cheers =D

EDIT: the guy also told me that if and only if play store reduces price, the other retailers will reduce price....until then, price is 33k at play store and 34k at retailers( maybe 33500)
[Nexus 5 General] netcitizen:
That's cool. Any screen guard or case?
[Nexus 5 General] emceeb:
Where? Do they have anymore in stock ? How much ?

I know too much question but I have sold my N4 and need to get my hands on a N5 asap.

Any number for the dealer would be appreciated.
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
do u mean, if they gave me or if i bought any ?
[Nexus 5 General] :
It's in Chembur check Google for manu music house, that's the name of the shop. It's an authorised LG shoppe. I bought a 16 gb one for 30k. Not sure about stock availability, but they should have it. I'll PM you the shop's number.
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
Waiting to buy this case actually.... it looks super cool and safe as well.... !!!

Both..
[Nexus 5 General] :
As I mentioned earlier I paid 30 k for it. Batch was 311k. No issues. This was a replacement. My first unit had a couple of dead pixels which I got replaced.

Anyone Ordered from Play Store in Gurgaon or New Delhi

I placed the order on 30th November 12:30am

Status says Dispatched from warehouse on 3rd December any idea how long does it take to reach delhi and whats the courrier complany they use ?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] jinxfire:
Congrats! :D

I have already raised the eBay claim (3 days ago) but it still says claim processing.

does your claim status say refund in process?

P. S I have accepted the extention request by seller which is ending tomorrow
[Nexus 5 General] sunil1982:
For one order which was ending on 30th refund has been initiated but not approved so i called ebay they told me it takes 5 days to approve and after that 3 to 7 days for refund and they are not ready to take action against seller
[Nexus 5 General] ankitkhedekar:
One of the email mentions - "our shipping partners will get in touch with you via phone to schedule a pick up time on a future date". When asked about the range of this "future date" there is no reply from the support team.

Also the refund process mentioned here:

https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411741?hl=en&ref_topic=3244667

expects us to return the item to Google "within 7 days" of receiving the RMA. Is that even possible looking at the current status of the RMA process. Im not sure but will they cancel the RMA if the courier does not contact us within this time frame??
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
I hate ebay's customer support, they are so lethargic and don't want to help the customer, they are more interested in the seller's well being. Damn. You are luck sunil that you got your hand on another N5, how much did you pay and can you share the link to the ebay seller from whom you purchased.

LG release???

Are you sure about the LG release? Is Nexus 4 officially released by LG here in India???

And even if LG releases N5 here, I think the retail price will be more than Google play price!!!

Not to mention the extremely delayed release if it is released at all!!!
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Ya bro LG only released N4 here.. it's even on sale on local stores, I myself bought in May from a local store.. Charger is Indian style by LG with LG warranty.

So by above hoping it will be released by LG again.. agree that price will be sky high as compared with US play store though..
[Nexus 5 General] :
Thanks for your reply... I've sent a PM to you...:cool:
[Nexus 5 General] Ashtrix:
I will also upgrade my NP to N5 >> 3x more powerful :D
[Nexus 5 General] chaitanya87:
Good to see everyone here. I will buy the nexus 5 if it has better camera. Ours is good but not better. Also its better to wait out for a few months because the first batch at US was faulty ones. Let's see for the release.
[Nexus 5 General] IllUMINATUz:
Per se.. whats up in some japanese website, I am expecting the 32 gb version to cost around 32000 max.. if its coming for 27.. I'll take it.. coz I always wanted a nexus device.. hope this time they will have enough stocks and release in India!!
[Nexus 5 General] :
Highly doubt of 32 GB with 3000mhz

and then we have 16 GB with 2300..

It aint gonna happen
[Nexus 5 General] Deltamax2:

happy to see so many folks waiting eagerly for N5.....

hope Google impresses us with yet another superb product...

I will ask my friend in US to bring it for me. I am going to buy it as I am fed up with my S4. :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] SanketN8:
nexus 5 if(and only if) launched in India will go around 32k for 16gb and around 35k for 32gb model(as per official pricing from a japan retailer)

battery life will be an issue for n5 as its only 2300 mah for a full hd 1080p display which is very less

n5 is going to be 2gb ram and not a 3gb

another news is that google has closed nexus 4 sales on playstore in usa because of n5 release and soon it will be also be closed by LG in India
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
LG Nexus 5 price leaks; different battery size for each model - Tip only, rumor.....

The 16GB LG Nexus 5 will feature a 2300mAh battery and will be priced lock, stock and barrel for $299. The 32GB LG Nexus 5 will be powered by a 3000mAh cell and will be priced at $399

Wow ,Nice to see this Thread,We indians rocks everywhere, Last time i failed to order from USA & my a/c is still asking for USA documents varification lolz, This time I am definately gonna buy, I have loads of hopes from this phone,8 MP camera will be pain as market is going for 13MP & more ,I hope google will solve OTG problem also which has in Nexus 4..Also 32 GB with good battery..Tech wise it will be awesome sure, but google should not disappoint us in anyway.
[Nexus 5 General] IllUMINATUz:
hmm.. but according to some leak in jap, its highest retail price is going to be 50k(converted from yen to INR).. so.. keeping the current price of 25000 as the current pricing for 16GB n4, I assume that 30k for a 32gb n5 is not bad.. I own a htc one x for 36k and its going strong even after its drenched in water (cough sony cough).. I switched it off.. let it dry on a paper and bam its working like nothing happened!! The only let down is the RAM part that too due to the heavy sense.. else its good too if I root it and have CM on it.. android is not really that resource hogger but a battery hogger it sure is.. and my one x is 1800mah running android 4.2 and does a decent day. I hope to see 2300 mah as a good upgrade for me with 2gig.. hope this has some value over htc one x.. or if there's a 64bit coming next year, I'll directly take that one.. :D

fingers crossed!!

Guys expect this phone to launch on 30th Oct. Who all are thinking of getting it from US via some overseas shipper? Let's discuss the way we can order it from US play store, Taxes, Courier charges, Customs,etc. Anyone who had ordered Nexus 4 in similar manner share with us your experience. Looking forward to have this phone in my hands before it's launched by LG in India (which will be months after it's officially launched in the USA) at Google's economical pricing.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Follow this Guide

http://trak.in/mobiles/buying-google-nexus-4-india-price-rs-22500/

This guide can be added on the first page of this thread

Options available are too many, Hopshopgo, comgetway, borderlinx etc

and customs have increase from 2% to 7%.. U will have to pay 2-3 times the customs u paid in getting nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] freak744:
Hopes......

:fingers-crossed: Hoping Google does some magic and brings the nexus 5 to the Google Play in India for around 25k fr the 16 GB version......

IF they still stick to their motto of 'trying to get their devices to the masses', I guarantee it would be a huge success

:D:good:
[Nexus 5 General] Ghostfreak NB:
Subscribed..Would like to know and be updated regarding the pricing and other details as and when available..(Just like the N4 thread)
[Nexus 5 General] chaitanya87:
IMO Google will not launch the phone as they have not launched the new nexus 7 yet. If LG has sufficient stock then they will launch sooner like end of December or early January. I hope the price stays the same like nexus 4 , 26k.

Shipped

Guys,

I am in trouble. The package is shipped to my ppobox address. Its scheduled to be delivered on wednesday. But the ppobox website is down.How do i register the package now? I tried calling their mumbai and newyork numbers .. nobody is answering.. please suggest me. Should i change the address to hopshopandgo using ups change address option? :(
[Nexus 5 General] DraXonic:
I guess ur 349$ in pot
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Try again later. Today is Saturday so they might be closed for weekends. Keep trying.

And try them on Monday (our Monday night). No need to panic. :)

Package will deliver on Wednesday. You have plenty of time.
[Nexus 5 General] chaitanya87:
Generally UPS will try to attempt the delivery again as it is weekends for them. Don't worry. Even in the worst case product will be sent back to google and u will receive a refund.
[Nexus 5 General] bigbiceps:
hey chill man, it wont be delivered to a "website" , it will be delivered at a physical address .

some one or the other will take your package. the website maybe temporarily down and theres no need to panic.

in the worst case scenario you may lose 363 $ which you can easily earn back. :good:

so sit back and take a deep breath.
[Nexus 5 General] adithya.scor:
Its up.. i registered.. These guys are good.. Last time i got my nexus 4 16 gig shipped for 1.5k .. hopefully this time within 3k.. including insurance.
[Nexus 5 General] bagmar.rakesh:
Hey, which Indian credit card or payment source did you use to order it on the US play store? What did you put in the billing address on the play store?
[Nexus 5 General] adithya.scor:
I used my citi bank rewards visa card.. i added it while ordering itself..i mean it wasn't added before i ordered nexus 5. I added the ppobox newyork address as billing address.. and new jersey address as shipping address..
[Nexus 5 General] sunil1982:
What was the final amount including taxes
[Nexus 5 General] adithya.scor:
389 bucks it was for new jersey .. if you select newyork add its 8 usd more.
[Nexus 5 General] chaitanya87:
So for 16 gb one shipping and taxes comes to 389$. How much estimate did ppobox gave when you have calculated using their calculator?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 5 General] adithya.scor:
about 2.5k. hopefully it won't become more than that.
[Nexus 5 General] AmmarGitham:
Hey guys... Any idea about when the phone will be available in the Play Store?... OP hasn't been updated, which I think should be with whatever is known.

Get your cards and addresses ready. I think Google knows that nexus 4 is a huge success in India and they also know that we will import phones from USA on day 1 itself. They want us to buy from Indian play store itself. Hence they kept it as coming soon.
[Nexus 5 General] jetzstream:
absolutely right bro. Disgusting is the only word i can use for them. The entire experience sucked.

This was just part of their strategy to cover up their fkup with the inventory. They just dont give a ****. It's quite possible they've diverted inventories to other priority markets and have just screwed indian customers.

F*ck Google. It's over n done with for me

Call Quality

Anyone facing any issues with the call quality ?

The call volume seems to go up and down during the call, and sometimes becomes extremely low for me to hear.

Guess will have to use the warranty very soon .... :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I received my 2nd Note 3 this evening and restored all my data.

My Nexus 5 now awaits a courier pickup. God knows how long it will take. Just hope it happens soon. I liked the phone, but just as the Note 3 disappointed me, in the end my experience with the N5 is not positive. And frankly all this noise about pure Android experience is a load of c**p.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
I somewhat agree that pure android is just a hype..

I got N4 in under all hype & was shouting from roof tops, then got bored with vanilla android in just a week or so.. then realized that skinned android has so many features, started missing my S3.. pure android is like plane cake without any cream & toppings.. (jal bin machali)

Now trying to sell my N4 & will be getting GS4..
[Nexus 5 General] Ashutosh1313:
Still havent got the call from shipper. I am shipping via local courier tomorrow. Tired of waiting :(
[Nexus 5 General] :
Please dont buy the S4 in India. Indian S4 uses the crappy and Buggy Exynos which is totally ****. You will regret buying A Samsung in India!

Because every Samsung high end phone in India has Exynos.
[Nexus 5 General] nickee007:
Finally my device got shipped now.

Shipper is FedEx.

It says estimated delivery time is tomorrow.

Hopefully I will be able to get hold the the nexus 5 and check if any of the bugs/defects are present in it or not.

...

I still have to followup with them on the double authorization which caused double payment deduction though.
[Nexus 5 General] :
IMO most people probably buy nexus phones either because of the price or because of developer support. I bought it purely on account of developer support for custom roms and kernels which the note 3 or s4 or even xperia z1 would lack (in comparison to the nexus).

But that's just my opinion.
[Nexus 5 General] yrgt:
you got shipping confirmation??

32 black?

What about the double payment deduction?

Have u used a debit or credit card?

I made the payment via icici bank debit card on 21st itself and now play store is again trying to deduct the amount. As there is not sufficient money in my account, my order is on hold.

What about other people? You got the shipment e-mail?
[Nexus 5 General] nickee007:
32GB Black.

Order placed on 25th Nov. Was to be dispatched on 29th Nov.

Payment method : ICICI Debit Card

Double deduction happened because after every 7 days they send authorization to bank to check if amount is still available in bank. Yesterday I got the mail the amount has been deducted again. (their authorization process simply deducts the amount from account instead of checking for funds, (wtf really :confused:)). So on 2nd Dec amount got deducted again.

I sent the Notice to support for raising Consumer complaint and had a brief discussion with their support today morning. (check http://www.consumercourt.in/address/14404-notice-before-filing-consumer-complaint.html for more)

I received the shipment email at around 9:11 PM today with the tracking number of FedEx.
[Nexus 5 General] yrgt:
But in my case, i ordered it on 21st and i got the email on 2nd as there was no sufficient amount to deduct otherwise my account had been debited.

Now what about the previous payment? I had a conversation with play store india and he says the typical- " there is some technical issue in our system which will be resolved in 48 hrs." I really felt like abusing him :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] Ravinder9211:
.

If you want a 5 month old GS4 ...you can buy mine...

But as far as my experience goes....I am using nexus 5 from last few days....have not missed any "feature" of S4....

Query

One of my friend is coming to India from US next month and i am planning to get a 16 GB nexus 5. I simply told him to get the device from US play store. When he talked to the customer service they told him that the North america version may or may not work in India and depends on the operator and that he cannot buy a worldwide version from play store.

Now I am confused. Reading this thread , i am in a opinion that the US bought version will also work in India (except for the LTE) and there is no international warranty.

So what should i tell him now to buy? or is it better to purchase in India itself thinking about warranty terms.

Confused.:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] pavan308:
Agreed that stock shortage happens.... but haven't seen any other brand charging u money in advance and then coming back sayin there is a stock shortage.And this could only mean that they either failed to assess their inventory properly in advance or like others have been sayin they diverted all their invetory towards market like US and Europe due to oncoming season.In both cases it is highly unethical practice being followed.Also, the ebay guy to whom people had ordered nexus 5 clearly told that stock is available. Anyways everything happens for good. My order was auto cancelled and refund initiated in ebay. Also, given so many disadvantages with nexus 5 - low battery,no use of 4G,heating issue, no sd card, camera, dead pixel, no FM....I thought everythin happened for good and now I am moving on and in future i have decided not to buy anything from ebay atleast.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
I also felt like same after selling my Gs3 => N4... But that feeling will not last long & u will start to miss ur GS4 shortly... mark my words... ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Ravinder9211:
I have bought it from Australia.....and now have to live with 4 dead pixels on its screen....so...the choice is yours

---------- Post added at 10:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

I use my phone to make calls, for whatsapp, games, watching videos, to listen to music, web surfing, to take decent photos.....and nexus 5 can do all this....and its smoother than GS4....LCD is better than AMOLED....atleast for web browsing ....and I never used its IR Blaster

.

I wont miss those features (read gimmicks) from samsung.....the only thing I am missing right now is that I cant mute the alarm just by turning the phone upside down...

Oh.. sorry for the state of your phone....while reading the thread many users complained about the dead pixels... seems most of the devices are plagued with that problem..:(

So thinking its better to get it from here rather than getting it from US... as it would be easy to followup with the service center here. Just now i saw a 4K cashback offer on Flipkart for SBI credit cards. Has anybody saw that and purchased using SBI card?
