I can't tell you about roaming and stuff but i face problems with data all the time.Voice clarity is often fine.Did you update it to 4.4.3?I guess i should have bought it from here only.

Does anyone has been able to get their phone RMA'D their n5 from google if they bought their phone from flipkart,ebay,amazon etc?
[Nexus 5 General] anirudhnyg:
You can Only get a RMA From google if you purchased from Playstore . As they pull up your purchase record when you you call them up.

You will have to deal with LG Service center for any Issues
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you haven't bought the device from playstore, you can't RMA it. Period.

You need to get in touch with the local LG service centre and have them take a look at the phone.

Edit: Ninja'd! :D

Is there a way to get the mobile network's name on top left of the phone screen? I've seen that on moto x so maybe there's a way to do that on nexus too?
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
I have also purchased from playstore india still not received ota update. I have purchased on first day.

When did you purchased. And any improvement after update
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
Got OTA update.....

OTA update

Got 4.4.3 OTA update today morning here in India at 6 AM . One of the notable differences is that battery is not getting drained out during standby mode and a new look Dialer app.

So ota purely depends on luck . because last time i got the 4.4.2 update on the very first day of release but this time i am not lucky. Can anyone tell me at what time generally updates arrive. So i would check at that time only
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
There is no fixed time for the updates to arrive. Just need to be patient and it'll be there within this week for sure. And in case ur one of the impatient ones like me, get the OTA file and sideload it. But you need to unlock ur bootloader for that and I would really not recommend getting into all the stuff if u do not have an idea, only coz u will get the update OTA in next couple of days for sure. But for future, start reading the Nexus forum on XDA on rooting, installing custom roms & other things if it interests you. The community is here to hep you with any doubts. Cheers !!!

[Nexus 5 General] desihu:
Pls usnderstand the LTE bands for the two models are different. Hence the LTE is actual sense would not work, but only in backward compatible mode, which means your 3G would work fine.

Sent from Nexus 5!
[Nexus 5 General] :
I can't really comment on the build quality of the bumper, but I've dropped my Nexus way too many times to count most of them with just a plastic scratch guard or no scratch guard and it's help up amazingly well. As for the screen protector, it did what it was meant to do. It ads about 0.3 mm to the front of the glass due to which the protection provided by the case is cut down by the same amount. If there was no tempered glass protector on it the screen would have been a further r 0.3 mm in and would not have suffered any damage. At least that's what would happen logically IMHO.

Don't know man but M8's drop test tell another story altogether..

ya thats what I thought but I have dropped it before with Nillkin protector on...

But earlier I had Ringke Fusion on and it protected both my phone and the glass protector every single time..

I dropped it once with the official bumper on and it murders my beloved protector..n this bumper has the same amount of lip on the front as on the Ringke but I guess that the quality is really really cheap.. Stupidass case..

Its on the protector man.. If it had been the screen, I would have sued Nillkin by now or entire China for that matter..

[Nexus 5 General] bliizzz:
Dude let me clear out the stuff here, yes the nexus 5 is a delicate device shatters easily, but the fact here is that the official bumper is not that protective, if you need protection you need to go for hard ass cases like the slimarmor,cruzerlite, surely they add a bit of bulk but protection is guaranteed. I am using a slim armor and my phone has dropped a number of times but the device is totally unaffected(not a scratch). So here u need to blame the bumper you are using as the device itself has failed even in the weakest falls users reported.
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
He said that it will be a promotional launch offer. After that price will be high but less than current 3g

And I like matt finish on my screen, would this protector go over my matt screen guard or below it? or in place of it?
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Well if u want that perfect Matt finish then I would suggest this:

First put a matte screenguard on your phone's screen.

Then put this glass protector over it for the protection.

Then put another matte screenguard over this glass protector to avoid any fingerprints on this glass protector.

So this will give a 3 layer protection with a perfect matte finish.

And then send a video of what u did to Guinness World records.

Either use only the glass protector or apply the Glass first and then matte protector. The glass needs a clean smooth surface to adhere to which the matte protector will not provide.

1) The customs office somehow mentioned declared value as 13500 (against 9500 change what it really is)

2) They charged 42% customs summing up to extra 5000+ (normally for watches it is 10%)

3) When I resented at the post office, they told they are ready to send back the item but the amount has to be paid.
[Nexus 5 General] udimars30:
[MENTION=4775394]bigbiceps[/MENTION] my package is on the same route no missorting yeah!
[Nexus 5 General] Funkym0nkey:
Yup. They added SAD (special additional duty) and CVD(countervailing duty) to yours.

Ideally it should not be added to single personal imports. But DHL ate famous to slap every possible duty they can think of at times. Similar horror stories by residents from Bangalore in nexus 4 thread.

Here in Mumbai I was charged just Rs. 2000 duty on 32GB Nexus 5 by aramex.

From my Optimus G Pro, In your face!
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
No, it will not be huge otherwise no one will buy from flipkart or other online retailers. for difference of 500 bucks we switch sellers. snapdeals is already taking preorders for same price.

The huge difference can be justified if only Google does not release this phone in play store but it does not look like that.

In the end we will always get nexus cheaper on play store if other online retailers charge huge difference.
[Nexus 5 General] bigbiceps:
SAD and CVD as you mentioned should come upto only 2 or 3 % only, in anyway the total duty should not cross 1600-1700rs.

which forwarder did you use ??
[Nexus 5 General] whosaysjohn:
I have mentioned in my post before that the total duty comes to something like 18%...6% is just the basic customs...plus dhl, blue dart charge service fee or something which jacks up the cost even more...anyway enjoy...

[Nexus 5 General] viskon:
As far as I know (and I came to know about this while relocating from the US) , the tax is not based on how much you paid for it, but based on how much the customs folks think it will cost in India. After all, the goal of customs is to ensure imports cost more.
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Nope, taxes are always based on billing price.

But yes, custom officers can ask any amount they want. It's INDIA. Although by law you require to pay lesser.

If you visit to customs office to clear your shipment then you might get it clear for lesser. You will need to bribe them. That's why they sometimes quote higher taxes so you visit them. It's common.

------------------------------

Custom duty vary from 0% to 150%, with an average duty rate of 11.9%. (i am not sure if it's 6% for phones).

Other taxes and custom fees

Landing charges: (1% CIF)

Countervailing duty (CVD): (0%, 6% or 12% (CIFD + Landing charges))

CESS (Education + Higher Education): 3% (Duty + Countervailing duty)

Additional CVD: 4% (CIFD + Landing charges + Countervailing duty + CESS)

Guys,

I was about to lend a ICICI card from one of my friend to add to Google wallet, now I just got an oldish ICICI HP club card or somthing(Debit card) of my dad and I just tried adding it KABOOM it worked... and the funny thing is it's 3-4 years old and I could hardly read card numbers lol, I never even knew the very existence of this card(dad got it free when he took a loan 4-5 years back and never used it.)

ICICI rocks... If you are desperate about adding card to Google wallet, just find any card that belongs to ICICI no matter whther it's petrol discount card or not :D (Just needed it to be VISA supported).

Can't wait to 12:00 :D 2 more hours. I don't think it's gonna hit market today 12:00 because most retailers hinted release to last week but I hope it should release today :hehe:
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
