It is now confirmed that the 312k models (2013Dec - 201312) have slight hardware mod. This hardware mod improves the loudspeaker output dramatically. Also, other bugs such as camera, battery, etc. are

Anyone in India received 312k model. I guess the 312k lot will be available in India by Jan-2014 only, due to poor rate of shipment.

They are saying..nexus 5s is coming..I ordered my N5 on 9th..havent got it yet..can I cancel it now?

Or will I have to apply for some false RMA's to replace it with nexus 5s? ;)
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
5s??? No way they are changing the name to that, in fact they would never change the name. ?

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] prateek2888:
Nexus 5s as in "plural" nexus 5, not 5S :)
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Nexus 5s is coming sounds 5s as a pronoun

Can anyone confirm what's the model no of their new black Nexus 5 16GB from India Play store? Is it the one with these above fixes? Fed up of the out of stock wait. LG must have lost thousands of customers due to the availability issues.

I ordered 16GB black one on 7th Dec and still shows PENDING. My CC has been charged.

I also ordered on same day CC has been charged but status is pending still
[Nexus 5 General] Harsha Raj:
Did you make that 312 yourself or you have any source?
[Nexus 5 General] Flanarr:
Sameer, as long as you got a receipt from google (on your email), you should be fine.

I ordered on 11th Decemeber and I am on Pending status too. The status will change when the order is shipped/completed.

In any case, if you have ordered after 7th December, your order will be shipped on or before 27th December.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
It's probably a matter of stock. But don't be surprised if you receive the handset even before the status is changed :) They aren't very prompt in updating the status. As I said before, for a status update your best bet is calling the Support team.

---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:25 AM ----------

For those aiming to do a RMA to get the 'refreshed' handset OR anxiously hoping to get new stock of the so called 312 batch, let me draw your attention to this:

Not all is peachy on the updated models however, as despite their firmer buttons and larger grilles, there are reports of a display that is more hued in yellow, as well as some green stuck pixels.

Google Play help

Hai, i need one help, i cannot open Google play devices with my Gmail id, it's not available in your country but with other email id i can open play devices, movies etc. can someone help me?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Make sure your country/time zone is set to India in the email preferences.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
That's precisely what they will do. Fix all issues in the Nexus 6. ;)

Can someone suggest if I should wait for the default keyboard update cue or go ahead and download the latest version of Google Keyboard from Play Store ?

Thanks !

[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
You need a GMail or Google Account to use the PS. Don't try randomly use/mention some other country as your country of residence because they have methods of validation including your credit card, IP address etc, Make sure your address, country & time zone are set correctly. Try this:

Guys there is no stock of n5 at my location. Should I buy from play? If I got defect? Have many questions.. please help..

And I heared one more news that there is some hardware changes how can I latest?
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
there is bound to be stock somewhere, lg retail, univercell, other low brand name shops... dont worry bout play store, you wont get a defect, if so RMA it or simpler, jus give in service center if fault is small.... rattling is not a defect..and it mostly doesnt bother ppl, especially if you are gonna put a case.. speaker is no problem, some apps are pretty low, others are very good infact...its a software issue, unless it sounds like a china speakers..!!

and for the hardware changes, the speaker holes are bigger,which in my opinion doesnt matter, and buttons are more stiff, however,rattle is still there it seems, and seems the screen has a more yellowish tint than normal ones along with 1 or 2 green stuck pixels...and no device is perfect, i dont mean the nexus 5, i mean any phone out there, its bound to have unseen flaws for each particular device. if u keep looking too hard for a fault, its gonna bother you alot more than the problem already is..and the news is just one replacement device.! no guaranteed news bout this.! its a speculation that there may be changes.! it really wont matter if ur gonna wear a case ! :good: my opinion ! hope i helped =)

They have addressed the issue with MX player here. Also someone suggests using vlc as its working.

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Finally my phone is delivered to google. Shipped on 12th and delivered on 14th. Now I hope I get the device on monday (sunday is not a working day for bluedart right)
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
This is how the process works: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411741?hl=en

Also just read back a few pages. Questions regarding the same have been answered.

Hopefully you'll be able to find them and know more about the process :D
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
first, make sure its a dead pixel, if so look to see if that really bothers you on a regular bases... " cuz ur new replacement device can always be worse as much as it can be better " ....so you may give up a better device for a worse one.. also for some ppl it takes longer than others for RMA.!

if its a stuck pixel, then it should get better within time, but same process applies if you are really bothered..! i had 1 single stuck red pixel that can be seen only on a full black screen, top left corner.. now its been2 weeks exactly and i didnt notice it was gone until 5 days ago.. !

again, depends on how much it bothers you !

or if you dont want to replace the entire device considering your only problem is a dead pixel , and other than that you like the device, you can always get the screen replaced in warranty..!! simple as that !!

Cracked the glass of my nexus 5 :(

stupid LG only had one service center here and its permanently closed. Now i have to go to nearby city to get it repaired who will have to order it first.
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
ouch, that looks bad. ! how'd it happen ? :crying:

btw i read in this thread, some1 reported saying screen would cost 7k + change !
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
ouch :'( .. wanna tell the whole story tha how that happened? :(
[Nexus 5 General] thegr8anand:
I had put it in my shirt pocket and probably didn't went in properly. Bam it went down screen side down while i was getting out of the car and the glass got cracked.

Still phone is working fine and will keep using it till i get it repaired.
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
I think your device is already on its way. There is a RMA number(RMAxxxxxxx) in your RMA form which you can use to track. Go to blue dart site and put that RMA number under Ref. No.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Oh thanks man! awesome! It shows in transit and expected to be here on 16th. btw I got that RMA Number on 1st december and I was in another city so I gave the package to bluedart on 12th (12 days late) If I put the RMA on 2nd or 3rd , it would have showed me the same on bluedart site ?
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
i told you so!

this is exactly what i was yelling in my previous posts, if the phone is gonna fall flat on face no case is gonna help!!

N5 is too fragile and light.. dont know whether to be happy or mad about it :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Ordered in ezone online for 31799 (plus additional cashback 5% for sbi) 32gb black. Still skeptical about the purchase as the mobile is too fragile. :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
That's a reference number attached with waybill number. Once google play shipped replacement they put the RMA reference with waybill. So if you would have checked earlier then it would have said no number found. Also you would see the pickup date same or after your shipment reached to them.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Pickup date is 13th , though doesn't matter as I shipped the box on 12th and that too at ~ 6PM evening. Anyways, that's for letting me know that RMA can be tracked with RMA number :D Didn't knew that earlier.
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
Even I didn't know till I received my nexus yesterday and by chance I saw a reference number on receipt which was same as RMA number. :D
[Nexus 5 General] thegr8anand:
Have ordered the black bumper case. Costly but it looks like the phone and i hate using cases
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
I doubt it will be so bad always with a cover.

Besides it depends on which cover you're using too.

P.S: Just be optimistic about your device and take good care of it. As far as the phone goes, you really wouldn't be regretting buying it :)

Edit: [MENTION=4438668]Sharp-Razr[/MENTION] Just got the phone now.. Quick delivery must say and to my surprise, bluedart does work on sundays.

Quick look : power button rattles ofc lol ... my previous phone didn't had much volume rattle but it's there now :/ Again dead pixel/dust at the center of the screen. Ouch :( Haven't checked speakers yet. 4.4.2 is downloading/installing :( I am screwed again I suppose :/ great ****ing Q/C of LG. Not surprised. assholes.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Truly sorry to hear about this man. :( Dust or dead pixel at the centre of the screen is hard to overlook. Are you planning to RMA again?

This is the reason why I've been cautioning people not to rush headlong into a RMA for minor issues because you really don't know what you get in return. There are faulty handsets in stock and you could get one...again. Thing is, no matter what one may say like "hot phone", or c**p like "pure android experience" blah, blah, blah,, LG simply hasn't got their quality assurance up to the mark.

IMHO we Nexus owners should overlook minor 'faults' like slightly loose buttons in the interests of having a fault free display (zero dead/hot pixels and no colour cast) and operation. In the long run these 2 aspects are more important.
[Nexus 5 General] server3249:
Ok, so it looks like if you RMA, you don't get a new unit as replacement. You probably get a refurb with the issues "fixed".

Can't believe LG is unable to sort these issues. I have an optimus one for around 2.5 years with no issues. If they can make that perfect then why not a 30K phone??

Anyone who received their new phone recently, can you confirm if it's the one with new hardware??
[Nexus 5 General] nickporwal:
Got one panda 32Gb version today. Serial number with 311. So far i am satisfied with the build quality. Power button is loose a little bit but its of no concern since every other phone has this problem. Other than that no dead pixels or i am not able to find if there is any. Sound volume is adequate. Better after 4.2.2 update.

Happy with the purchase. I am coming from S4 and its feels good.

One thing i have noticed that QC of LG is way better than HTC. It was a horrible experience with HTC.

Next Nexus Smartphone Must be Manufactured by Asus... There service is great, I had changed my Motherboards + Battery + Speakers at last day of Warranty just few days ago of my Nexus 7, I just claimed that there speaker, motherboard & battery is defective & without checking anything they just ordered & Got it back some days ago,Now my Nexus is giving me awesome battery usage say 7-8 hrs on screen, I must say they are superb infact i am got new battery 2nd time, LG sucks..
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
looks like you are also in the same boat in which i m.....my RMA unit does not detect sim card and got 310k, earlier I had 311k.

will be sending my device on monday

btw which batch is it?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Is your SIM card a normal one cut into micro SIM dimensions? If yes, try getting a micro SIM from your operator

My RMA is from the 310K batch and works perfectly.
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
I have got my normal one cut into the micro sim one......it used to work perfectly on the 311k batch or the earlier one and even on my lg optimus g pro
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
That's what I thought i.e. you had a normal SIM cut into micro SIM dimensions.

Ok, here's the deal, there are very small variations in the machining of the SIM tray and that could have added to the slack or bad fitment which caused the phone not to recognise the SIM. Two things you could try before sending it back

a) Try another SIM card...make sure it is a micro SIM, not the chopped up jugaad SIM. Noticed you're on Airtel. It hardly takes any time to get a new micro SIM. Walk into an Airtel store and ask for a SIM replacement. Specify you need a micro SIM. Carry a passport size photo and ID+address proof. The new SIM will be activated in 2-4 hours. I am on Vodafone and they work very quickly. Hopefully Airtel will move just as fast. Now, fact of the matter is nearly all mid to high end phones come with micro SIMs so you might as well get it done once and for all. A badly cut SIM can get stuck inside the phone. So please be careful.

b) Remove the current SIM card, clean the contacts with a cotton cloth. Make sure there are no fibres stuck on and reinsert it into the tray and then into the phone. Switch on the phone. And cross your fingers. ;)

Good luck and I hope your problem is solved. But seriously..please make the effort to get a real micro SIM Card.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I forgot to mention, mine is 311k

The dust/dead pixel in the center of the screen isn't really noticiable. I am using the phone from last 2 hours and haven't noticed it one single time. Anyways, all is cool, atleast the yellowish thing is gone. I will keep this one and will RMA when the new stock comes or if I hear someone on this thread that they RMA'ed and they got a new handset then may be.. Anyways, mine isn't refurbished, I would say it's still a new one. All cool here.

Hi guys, I'm going out of India for some days and I'm thinking of buying two Nexus 5's there, one for me and one for my friend. But I'm worried if I will be charged any import duty while returning to India. So does anyone here know how many phones can one person carry without being charged any import duty?

Thanks :)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
You can carry one cell phone into India w/o duty. Most customs officers will let you go by with even 2.They have bigger fish to fry. ;) But its the luck of the draw in these matters. Better to throw away the packaging of at least one handset (the one you will use) so you can say the other one is a gift for a family member.

Why are you buying the phones abroad? Except the US the prices in India and elsewhere are about the same. Do remember warranty coverage is country specific.. And if by chance your handset has an issue..you're in trouble.
[Nexus 5 General] exzibit7:
Thanks a lot for the info! I'm getting the handset from Australia as it is about 7000 Rs cheaper there. I'm hoping I don't get any issue, if I do I think I can get it replaced there within a week.
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Actually the day I got my phone ....it was not detecting the sim, I went to the airtel store and asked him to insert his micro sim into my phone so that I could get an better idea, but he didn't have an spare one or he was too lazy to do that. Then he checked my sim by just having a look at it and told me that the sim seems to look fine....today is sunday will be going to airtel store again tomorrow morning to get a new micro sim and will try again...just hope that it works because I don't wanna rma my phone again.....new device and new problem :)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Why don't you borrow a SIM from your friend/relative/family member and try? You'll get your answer right away. And be sure to get a new micro SIM i.e. the asli cheez. Better than the hassle of a RMA and wondering what kind of unit you'll get back as a replacement. :silly:

I am quite certain it is a SIM issue because my wife's SGS3 has also behaved weirdly at times. I take out the (cut, jugaad) SIM, clean it and reinsert. And hey presto! The phone's back to normal. And on that note, it's a good thing if I got a new micro SIM for her. :) Will head to the Vodafone store this week.

---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

Up to you mate. :) Good luck! And do let us know when you get your new Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] exzibit7:
Yeah sure! I'll post here as soon as I get the phone and let you guys know if I get any defects. :)
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
I tried to clean my sim and reinsert it but it was of no help and I don't have another micro sim with me right now.....so will have to wait till tomorrow.
