If you are coming from a samsung device, trust me on this , Moto X, Nexus 4, and Nexus 5 - all these 3 are far far better than any samsung device out there in terms of performance. As they are much much better optimized for stock android where as samsung goes with touchwiz. Though even if you like samsung phones, only buy Samsung S4 Google edition or HTC One Google edition. Best in class phones.

Regarding Google Wallet, is it necessary that the debit card should have the name of the person from whose account google wallet is being accessed?

I will be ordering the phone using my Gmail account but will be using my dad's card. :p Is there any chance of the transaction not going through?

Hey, guys. This isn't exactly the right place, but I couldn't think of a better place for posting my query-

I recently decided against buying the Nexus 5 and have decided to buy the Nexus 7(2013) 32gb. On the link below, it is available for 265$ which translates to about 17,000 INR.

Link- http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DV...4376131&sr=1-1-catcorr&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70 The page also mentions that the device is eligible for free international shipping. I'm guessing this includes India?

Basically, all I want to know is if there would be any additional charges/ duty or risks/problems I should know about, since this would be my first time ordering something internationally?

Any help would be appreciated.

please anyone if help me out

i just recently purchased nexus 5 from flipkart

and on first boot i identified a small dead or stuck pixel which is disappearing on full brightness otherwise visible against dark background

i called flipkart and they said they dont replace for a single pixel defect....

it just annoying me

i tried different pixel fixing apps upto 2 to 3 hrs but none were useful

plz help me out what should i do?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
You can't do a thing. Either fight for a replacement or just bear with it. You could try visiting a LG service center but afaik, even they have the same policy. They don't replace the screen for a single dead pixel. However, there's no harm in calling them and verifying this! May be you'll get lucky and get a replacement done?! :)
[Nexus 5 General] mietens:
But I just purchased it a day before yesterday and applied for return in flipkart..... Hope they don't deny for it...its their policy to replace defective items.....
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Flilkart is into lot of **** these days they have a return policy of 30 days if purchase from ws retail and 10 days if from others so just ask them to send a replacement if not file a case at consumer forum ppl are not paying for buying defective products even though it is a small dead pixel
[Nexus 5 General] mietens:
Sir thanks again.... I just emailed them with photos of issues....in fact they told me that they will inform me about status of return tomorrow.... Thanks again

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I guess it just depends on which area you live in.. Been using Airtel 3g since years without a hitch.

[MENTION=2759539]shhbz[/MENTION] I would strongly suggest you to go for local cable broadband connection... They are the best. The society which I live in didn't opt for it so I'm stuck with MTNL.. If I got the chance, I would blindly jump on to a local one.
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Yes i am aware of few fiber connection but my area sucks and does not have good broadband provider was interested in spectranet in delhi lajpat nagar 4 but cant get any so opted for airtel as the only other option was mtnl which made me cried while i was in other area
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
If i were u i would have gone with bsnl... From all the network ive used... Heres my ranking in basis of speed to price to data...

1. Bsnl 2gb 3g at 268 for 30 days speed at 1-3Mb/s

2. Vodafone 2g at 199 gives unlimited 2gb data... Till 2gb I got 60-80kbps but after that I got 20kbps

3. Docomo... No 2gb plans but offers 1.5gb day .25 night and 2gb what's app(FTW) at 150 or something...

Infinity. Airtel... Crappiest network ever but good call rate but 2g 2gb non unlimited (via phone option selection) and 2gb unlimited (via direct recharge) at 201 for 28 days... Till 2 GB 20kbps max... After that 1~7kbps max: (800 kB file download takes 5mins or more...)

Ya... I've used the local one when I visited my cousin's house in Bangalore... It costs less but offered 4mb/s constantly... Like for 700 or something... Unlimited that is...

[Nexus 5 General] :
Try them all out. What may work for someone may not work for you.

If none of them work it means your area has terrible network and you should probably switch to airplane mode when in that area to prevent you phone from constantly searching for a signal which isn't there.

Anyone having experience with AMD processors.?

To be precise I'm looking for a budget laptop and this one seems to be the best in the category

http://www.flipkart.com/hp-15-g009a...id=COMDWZ2GYN3NKGPH&otracker=recommended-item

But it's got AMD A8 processor and I have read online and have come across mixed reviews about it.

At that price I could also get a 4th Gen i3 but would be cut short on the hard disk capacity. So is the i3 4th Gen worth it or AMD A8 6410 should be fine?
[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
It depends on what you plan to use the laptop for. Unless your using multi threaded applications the i3 is going to be much better at single threaded performance. If your going to use it for gaming then you'd be better off getting a desktop with your budget as those laptops aren't going to fair very well at gaming.

Try get an i5, if not go with the AMD, there won't be a massive difference in performance in most cases. In my opinion, if you must go for a laptop, buy a core i5 compromise on the HDD a bit, you can always get an external HDD later but you wouldn't be able to swap out your processor. However If your comparing the HP one with the other laptops with i3 listed on the comparison chart on flipkart then go with the HP for sure, it adds a decent gpu+crossfire with your apu providing a much much better gaming experience instead of the useless HD 4000.
[Nexus 5 General] skarma103:
if memory is your problem you can always swap out your cd drive , and replace it with a harddrive caddy and use the cd drive in an external enclosure . Right now im using a budget i3 dell inspiron 15R with 2 1tb hdds in it

Not me... Maybe the next nexus... But certainly not this... And this wud be true as andreno 4xx only supports es3.1 of android l so to showcase that they'll surely give the next nexus 805 or nvidia k1...

Actually if you think of it... Our nexus on a custom kernel has given an antutu score of 40k... Which shows that it is on par with the n6... Anyway a number of updates will be available for n6 due to the 18 mnth window but we can get custom ROMs... I'm hurt with the specs and stuff of the n6 but I can't shell out that much amount for a new phone as its only 2 mnths since I got my hands on n5... Also for games I'm sure this will surely support newer games for at least 2016 probably (I hope so) or else there is always chainfire...

These are the things that will keep me happy about the n5 when the n6 is released... Also n6 is only as future proof as n5... It ain't 64 bit...

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Shamu already comes with 805 (if rumors are to be believed).. You can't really compare a stock device with a modified one. But, as you said, a stock "shamu/nexus6" matches a highly modified nexus 5. So, you can imagine how a modified Shamu/Nexus6 will perform? :D It will blow away many top contenders atm.

That being said, I agree that it's not a SIGNIFICANT upgrade.. Our Nexus 5 will hold ground for another year or so with the latest games. The 800 SoC on the 5 is still a force to be reckoned with! ;)

64 bit isn't going to make any significant difference IMO. At least not on the mobile platform. The device would need at least 4gbs of ram for the 64 bit architecture to kick in which is simply ridiculous for a mobile device. I've yet to reach the 2 (1.8)gb limit of my Nexus 5. 5-8 apps run smoothly without redraws which is more than adequate for normal/office usage.

So, just like you.. I would most probably skip "shamu" :angel:

---------- Post added at 08:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:48 PM ----------

I like how you used the words "skip" and "get" lol. It might be a minor upgrade, but still its a nexus. I don't really see any benefits of qHD display on mobile phones. More battery, more processing power, and even doubt our naked eye can identify the true details on it :eek:
