Lightflow pro works fine for me. Although some time it stop working (like if I reboot while charging). you need to disable notification access, reboot, enable notification access and reboot again.

Developer is working on that and hopes to get a fix soon.

However, light manager (free) also works but after couple of days It may stop again.

Also check for the murda pixels... [dead]
[Nexus 5 General] BlueSharky:
No dead pixels on mine, but my new nexus 5(came today) is a 310K batch! :crying: I know I'm a little paranoid, but I saw old sealing tape under the new sealing tape on the box, so I'm sure it's someone's returned device.

Tradus is selling Nexus 5 32GB at 32,970 with EMI option. Will there be a problem to replace as I found many needed replacements & perhaps looking at the cost would it be genuine?

replacement will be hard.. cost is near same as playstore..

Guys, if I buy n5 in US and bring it here in India will it work fine?

And I read the op that warrenty won't apply after that, is that 100% confirmed?
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
yup, no warranty for imported products at all.

Availability Nexus 5

Thats not official seller WS Retail is trusted than any other one's and the price quoted can be fine for some ppl who can't wait for the phone but have to notice that the delivery time is 12-15 days :D that means it's going to release around 15 days in India for soon :laugh:

Hit :good: if you agree
[Nexus 5 General] :
Usually delivered in 13-14 business days.

Just like ibhejo website

and reason that he has listed 1 Year warranty is because He knows that there will be a very few cases where any defect will occur:)
[Nexus 5 General] shrek8421:
Some info that I collected from play store

1. All prices include applicable VAT and/or Octroi charges (“Taxes”).

- This means that only shipping will be extra.

- This also means that the extra pricing that we see here in India is not much different to that of US.

in the US: 32GB model was sold @ $436 (399+37) including taxes which currently evaluates to ~ 27K.

in India it will be selling at 33K.

Corrected. Thanks [MENTION=4204108]Romonster[/MENTION]

2. Should Google reduce its price on any Device within 15 days from the date you order it, you must contact Google Play Support within 15 days of the price change to request a refund or credit for the difference between the price you were charged and the reduced price.

3. Gadget Guru and Bluedart will be handling shipping for playstore.

4. LG (obviously) will be providing warranty.

[Nexus 5 General] Romonster:
29K price is for the 16GB version.
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
I don't think nexus 5 can be available via any other source other than PlayStore. Any other site selling it would be selling imported one or after buying it from playstore. Selling it after buying from playstore doesn't make sense so has to be imported one.

And WS Retail is a part of flipkart. It is not some other seller selling on flipkart.

37$ tax which state do you live my relative went to Wisconsin he is getting a n5 hope the taxes and shipping costs less because i won't be facing any customs as he gets it as a use phone
[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
The retailer who was showing up earlier was Saivision. Now it's not showing up for me though... I can only see the 4 versions (16/32 x white/black) and all are WS Retail and say N/A on price now.
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
Ya. I know it was saivision earlier. But where do they get the phone from? It is only available through playstore in the whole world. And if they are selling imported one we won't be getting warranty from LG even if flipkart is showing manufacturer's warranty. And if they continue to sell it at the 31k mark no one will buy from them since you get it from playstore for 29k.

I can still see it listed(16gb black) but now the seller is Goddeals.
[Nexus 5 General] chirantan.f:
I'm in NYC, so yeah there will be less tax in WI...I guess 5.5 percent compared to 8.5 on NYC
[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
They seem to be one of those ebay guys selling the imported one. They're trying to cash in on those who don't want to wait for the Play Store to get official stock.

There's no point in buying from them for the reasons you stated (and the fact that the N5 is actually 2-3k cheaper in the US), but there still may be those who are impatient enough to do so.

[Nexus 5 General] udimars30:
Can anyone help me??

I had placed my order on OCT. 31 8:30 PM PDT ans still it is pending.

I contacted Google and they said that my shipping might ship on 22nd november and still it's not processed.

So i want to know whether India will get Nexus 5 earlier than 22nd as it will take one more week to come in India to me.

So anyone knowing the exact date so that i can cancel my order because i want it as early as i can get.

And if it comes in December and i had cancelled it then i'll go fully mad .

thanks
[Nexus 5 General] :
If order gets processed .. Then you cannot cancel.. And you will also not be able to know when it will process. It can happen today also.. Anytime.. It can happen..

So if you want to cancel do it fast..

If processed canceling impossible.. Then what can happen is that you refuse the shipment and return the shipment back..

These services are provided by package forwarder for a fees

Fees will be like 5$ to return..

Your Decision.. Your Choice
[Nexus 5 General] udimars30:
Yeah that's what i said, i know want to know that indian release date so that i can go ahead and cancel without any problems.

The black sticker below the imei sticker comes off very easily. I removed it and stuck it inside the packaging the phone came in, on that tray the phone sits in. Try it..it's plasticky so it doesn't stretch when coming off, no residue left either.

It is only syncing "Google calender" and not "My Calender" which is the default samsung calender.

Is there some way to sync "my calender" to nexus 5 ?
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
No idea. Never used a samsung. Did you try searching it on the net?
[Nexus 5 General] fanil123:
Yes, I have finally synced "My Calender" on samsung galaxy to "Google Calender" on Nexus 5.:good::good::good::victory::victory::victory:

I downloaded the MyPhoneExplorer Client app on samsung phone and PC. Then synced the "My Calender" to PC by using the MyPhoneExplorer Client app.

Then I synced "My Calender" from MyPhoneExplorer Client app to Microsoft Outlook.

Then imported the calender from Microsoft Outlook to Google Calender online which then synced it to Nexus 5. :good::good::good::cool::cool::cool:

Screen seems fine, no tint, minimal rattle in power button only - seems normal. SIM card tray too is fine.

How does one check this, besides just glancing for dead pixels?
[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
Um any recommendations on a screen protector? Thinking of going for gadgetshieldz as I liked it on my N4. Any other recommendations in the same price range? Also is the ringke fusion case for the N5 good enough? I've heard people say that it actually feels quite flimsy and might not offer much protection at all, how true is this? If this is true, any other good alternatives?
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Gadgetshieldz is the only VFM product when it comes to screen guard. Go ahead. I am using it on N5 and liking it very much.

About case. Consider Spigen SGP Neo Hybrid or other options from Spigen SGP. Much better than Ringke fusion but they only sell in US via official store. So you will have to buy it from their official store on geb.ebay.com or amazon.com. I am not sure if their amazon store takes international orders but geb ebay (global ebay) does. It will cost you around 1.3k along with free screen guard which is of satisfactory quality.
[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
Bought the gadgetshieldz. Still skeptical about shelling out 1.3k for a case, will probably look around for a little bit longer to see if anything better comes up. Ty for your view

Dear friends,

[Nexus 5 General] BlueSharky:
I just had a careful look at my phone. If you guys remember my earlier post, I got my Nexus 5 yesterday and recieved a 310K batch phone with the box seal taped over another older seal. So I guess it is a device returned by somebody. On initial casual look, the phone seemed fine yesterday so I was pleased with it. But today, on closer inspection, I found 4 dead pixels as well as bleeding at the top corner.

So I've made up my mind to RMA it. I bought this from the play store. Can I go to an LG showroom and ask for a replacement? Or do I have to RMA by couriering it back to Google?
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
RMA is the best option for you.

BTW after paying so much u got the 2nd hand piece... never rush when a new Nexus gets launch.. wait for at least 4-5 months..
[Nexus 5 General] BlueSharky:
Exactly! I purchased it last week, which was already 3 months of torturous wait.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Why is that ? If you go for first batches, you'll never get RMA copy ??

It's outrages me that after paying 33k you get a refurbished second hand copy and it's NOT even for a replacemnt device, if I was you I'd rage about this and messed google play store reps by phone and asks for replacement.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
I said that because in first baches u will need to RMA for sure.. & ur RMA'd device will get into others hand... ultimately u have to face the headache of RMA & no joy of newly bought device.. :mad:

What do you mean by bleeding at top corner ?

Hey ppl..anybody here using Franco kernel with stock rom?..how is it working?
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Franco kernel is designed and optimized for stock rom only so ofcourse, its running great! Using it since last 40 days or so and its rock stable. Gives balance of performance and battery. I easily get 5hr SOT with full day use. On stock, it hardly used to be 4hrs.
[Nexus 5 General] rubenswing:
Well, as you may have noticed that there is no reboot option, you have to do it manually following the below steps:

Enable Developer Options

Enable USB Debugging

After that exit out and connect your phone to your laptop/desktop, and issue the command from the command prompt adb reboot and your nexus reboots

P.S. You need your adb drivers to be setup for this to work

I already shot off a mail to Google and they responded within minutes. They told me to try rebooting the phone to fix the dead pixels. :eek:

I did that, even though I knew it wouldn't work at all, and told them that it was of no use. They then mailed me a RMA form which I have to get printed and wait for a courier to pick it up. I also highlighted the fact that I got a refurbished device, so hopefully they sit up and take notice.

I will take a picture when I get back home from work and edit this post with the uploaded picture.

Hi,

I have been playing real racing 3 without much problem in the Nexus 5. Recently I bought a Bluetooth headset and tried to play Real Racing 3 while the headset was connected but the sounds were messed up. :( I tried other games like Minion Rush, and Candy Crush the sound works fine but there is a noticeable lag. :confused:

u can get 6 hours if u use correct settings & kernel. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
I do get 7hr+ if I use phone for very light purpose and just 10-20% brightness. And if I just keep looking at display with minimum brightness, I am sure I will get 10hr SOT. But SOT is not the only thing I care about. And that's where fk only comes into equation.

Nevermind, I will remind you. This was your reply and first post with it, you started dragging into this xyz kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
Idk if you know or not but keeping the power button pressed until it reboots is similar to removing the battery and re-inserting it which we don't do when we want to reboot phones with removable battery. So IMO that should be used only when the phone is not responding and not every time someone wants to reboot their device. :)
[Nexus 5 General] ImSherlocked:
I have used it many times when my phone is not rooted and it did not explode. So I think it's safe.

Otherwise you are better off with adb or rooting.

I bought nexus 5 from India play store and I dint got any warranty letter so if I got some problem, how can I get fixed it with out warranty letter
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
In case of any problem, contact the Google customer care either on their toll free number or by e-mail. If they think the problem is genuine (hardware related), they will send u a RMA form. Fill it up and Google will arrange for the pickup for the defective phone and send you a replacement (hopefully a new one). As I understand, this should be valid for 1 year for all purchases made from Google Play Store in India. After 1st year, you can contact LG customer care/service center for any issues, which would be on a chargeable basis.

However, if the phone is purchased from LG store or any other retail store, only option is to take it to the LG service center for issues. Hope it helps.

Spigen Slim Armor for 899 rs

Guys, I have ordered Spigen Slim Armor from Shopclues for 899 Rs.

Find the details Here
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
Looks good. But do check when you receive it whether it is made in USA since original Spigen is made in USA and carries an original certificate with it.

Spigen has an official online store on ebay and you can order in India through http://geb.ebay.com/

If the one you have ordered is Made in China, then its probably a copy of the original and similar ones (true copy of high quality - Mad in Korea) are available in Delhi for as low as Rs. 400.

So go ahead n buy it ..dont worry..u wont get a better case in 400 bucks..I bot it for 400 only..here is an ebay link but the price is higher..

Dunno but I can see the price as 399 right now. Even I got one from gaffar for 400 after your earlier post. Quality is very good and makes the phone feel much secure.
