I would advise you to NOT buy internationally from ebay.

As I mentioned earlier, I ordered the Nillkin protector from ebay on April 9th. It's a month today, and it still isn't here. And the worst part is there's no tracking number to figure out where the hell it's gone.

The good news is that I contacted the seller, and he told me to let him know if I don't get it within two weeks. If that happens, he'll refund me the full amount.

But I don't want a refund. I want to get rid of my pathetic plastic protector once and for all!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Doesn't matter whether you buy from aliexpress or ebay.. Most of the sellers who sell nillkin are from China itself and if you choose the free shipping option, your product will be mailed via China-Post..

In your case, the seller might have shipped from sone other mail services and that's the reason you didn't get any tracking number. When you buy from abroad, you need to verify such things before placing an order and this goes not only to eBay but also to Aliexpress or whichever international site you buy from!

I just ordered one from Aliexpress. Spoke to the store owner, he assured me that it will be packed properly and if it is broken or chipped he will give full refund.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Man thats bad luck and that case doesn't look good at all..chuck it..but the case that I ordered costs $11.38..

Hope that doesn't turn out to be of cheap quality too :(

And Ringke fusion is really good ..I have been using it since February and it is in a pretty good condition.. I have two or three scuffs on the back which aren't even visible unless u r specifically searching for them..but those are from the drops for which I am responsible..

Btw which pouch are u using? ..Can u post a pic? (But if its green or yellow in color then u don't need to)

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Well, from next time I'll stay away from cheap products.

$11 Whaattttt?? You bought the Ultra Hybrid case as well, right? How did you end up paying so much?? May be you will be getting the original one.. Who knows? Let's hope for the best!

Oh ohhk, so why did you decide to order another case? Got bored of the current one? :p

Hahaha! Nah, it's a black leather pouch. Here's a pic:

Can anyone suggest me a good transparent case,probably cheap one with respect to scuff marks?
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Nope..I ordered the Official bumper.. Lets see how that turns out..

N the thing is that the back of the Ringke Fusion is a fingerprint magnet and so either u clean it up again n again or it looks damn ugly..n thats y I ordered that case..

Othewise Ringke is an excellent case..n if u compare it to the slim armor then Ringke is much slimmer and the fit is pretty snug too..

N your pouch has a strap too ..so it will bulky I guess ..isnt it?

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Ah! Alright, thanks.

Yes, pouches are always bulky. It protects when my phone is in the pocket from scratches and what not! Once it's out of the pouch, it's fully naked. I know it might be risky and accidents do happen, but I'm willing to take that risk as I baby my nexus 5 and take good care of it :fingers-crossed:

There are gaps on all sides as well, so I don't need to take the phone out of the pouch while changing songs.

I'm also looking for a new case or a pouch because my dog chewed on the pouch when I was asleep and it's somewhat messed up now. If I had used a case, the LCD would have shattered from the bite! The pouch literally protected my phone :D

---------- Post added at 08:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

To avoid scuff marks, you need to buy a original branded case (which are slightly costly). There is NO substitute.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
The bad news is that I dropped my Galaxy Note while taking it out of a pouch but it was saved by the soft floor carpet at my workplace..

N if your dog chewed on it then now u need a case ..not for your phone but for for your dog's teeth and remove it while feeding him..

I would suggest that u put a soft padding of microfiber on the upper and lower teeth so that if he bites the screen, he would end up cleaning it instead..

Can anybody suggest me some kernel settings that are geared towards battery life? I mean I dont play games on my phone so I dont need all that power running behind my screen..I have already under clocked my GPU but somehow I am not able to do the same with my CPU. Aside from under clocking, is there anything else that can be done ? Thanks

Sent from an IceCold Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 General] :
I knew what I was getting into. The seller informed me that it would not ship with a tracking number.

But here's why I did order it: the seller has an very high seller rating, and whenever else I've ordered anything online - abroad or local - it's arrived within a couple weeks, tops. I ordered it before people on here started ordering from Aliexpress.

I'm still hopeful. I've got a few days before I travel, hopefully it'll arrive before then.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Hahaha! Your comments always crack me up! :p

Governor: Smartmax/smartass

I/O : Row

Max Clock : 1.5 Ghz

Min Clock: 300 mhz

You could even try powersaver governor and also try to underlock it to 1.2Ghz but you will certainly see some lags whilst multi-tasking.

Apart from the governor, you could also try to use custom LUX values instead of using Auto-Brightness and the usual system settings tweaks regarding GPS/BT/ greenify.

Aahh well, Let's hope for the best!
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Ya man. I talk crap all day long. God has tuned my cpu Governor in that manner only.

N thanks. So I have now changed my settings to Smartmax and 1.5ghz and I am already using Greenify. I didn't go lower coz lags is something that I can't take and that's why I switched to ART in the first place.

Hello All, so my phone was having these weird problems where the screen was going dead, the power button won't work, and the only way to wake it up again is by restarting the device.

Also, apps like Facebook and Twitter get stuck for like ages.

And both these problems have become very frequent now, almost every couple of days.

I thought it was dye to some app that I had installed, so I took my phone back to factory settings and delete everything. But the problem persisted.

Today I finally called Google support, and the guy have me an absurd troubleshoot. Told me to increase the screen time from 15 seconds to 2 minutes and run the device on safe mode for a couple if days. Still, I did it just for the same of it.

Within an hour the problem is back again! Screen sleeps, power button won't work.

What should I do now? I had purchased the phone through play store.

Call google support and RMA the device.They'll send you a new one

What are these 'android system' and 'android os' in battery usage statistics..??

I fully charged my N5 before going to bed and when I woke up..15% battery was gone..in usage it was showing that 'android system' and 'android os' kept phone awake for more than 3 hours..what the hell is going on..:(

I hard resetted my N5 ystrday..but no luck..please suggest something..!!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Are you rooted? If so, then use Wakelock Detector and see what's preventing the device from sleeping.

If you aren't rooted, then install Gsam battery monitor and see whether it's an app which is causing the drain.

Is your GPS set to high accuracy all the time? What about a/c syncing? Bluetooth? Turn all these off when your not using. Turn the wifi off at nighht because if the signal isn't great, then it will use more battery! Same goes for data and signal strength.
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:

They mean android os and system processes are consuming battery which usually include Syncing, gps, bluetooth and other such things.

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Are you using ART? If so, then it's normal as it consumes more RAM from what I've seen.

Android kills background tasks/apps when when the usable RAM gets low, so you don't need to worry about RAM consumption. It won't lag the device.

Kernel has nothing to do with RAM consumption.

It's either ART or some rogue app which is causing this. My ram consumption hovers between 900-1.2gb all the time..

Yup I am running ART and I thought there is a memory leakage in the kernel on the latest nightly.

Hey man, I got my phone RMA'd not once but TWO times.

Okay so my first phone had some screen bleed and dead pixels and I went to this link to contact for an RMA :

https://support.google.com/googlepla...237699#contact

This was in January. If you go to this link, you'll see two buttons : Chat with us and Request a call. Earlier there used to be another button "Send a message". I used that to send a message to Google highlighting the problem and requesting a replacement.

The next day they replied by mail on my personal ID telling me to reformat the phone, clear cache, other nonsense stuff, etc. I knew nothing would happen but I still did it anyway and replied to that mail saying the problem still persisted. They mailed me back with an RMA form which I had to print out, some more instructions, and told me that BlueDart would contact me soon to pick up the package. I got a replacement in about 7 days. My initial device was a 310K device (even though I purchased in Jan - should have been 401K) and there were double tapes on the box so I thought it was some refurbished device which I got. The replacement which I got was ANOTHER 310K phone with double tapes (refurbished most probably). So I was naturally pretty pissed with Google. Also the new phone was prone to overheating and drained like crazy. It was a faulty radio.

I RMA'd again in April. This time the link did not have the "Send a message" button just like how it is now. So I simply replied to the earlier email message from the initial RMA request. They responded in a few hours and were very helpful. I told them about how I kept getting old versions, etc and I didnt expect this with my hard earned money. This time they promised to give me a brand new device. RMA was fast this time, took just 1 day to pick up, and another 1-2 days to deliver. New package, 401K device. No faults, pretty happy now

So yeah, you can call them up or email them at : googleplay-support@google.com

Hope I answered your queries. Feel free to ask if you need any more clarifications.

I justnow recieved official google bumper red case for Nexus 5.I ordered it thru ebay for 900 Rs.

I ordered red one..but the case I recieved is looking like orange..I highly doubt that this is not official one.I contacted seller but he told that it is genuine google bumper case.'Nexus' logo on case backside and 'google' logo on packing were there.

I am posting pictures of my case.Anybody having red bumper please check that their bumper case looks like mine or not.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Sure, just call up the Google India CC and explain them your problem, they will prolly tell you to reset your phone or other trouble shooting steps and still if your problem remains, they will send you a email containing the RMA form, just get a printout of that form, pack your phone in the box and pack it with some good paper box or just paper with tape all over it. Then attach that RMA form on the box. Courier company will come to you in couple of days, take the phone , give you a receipt for online tracking of your package from your place to mumbai. Now, remember that email with RM form? it will have RMA number, that's a refrence number , just put it on that specific tracking website, like for example for me it was bluedart. Wait for couple of days before tracking your new package. I have done RMA 4 times and Google play support just says it will take a week to get a new phone but no, they send it right away. It happened on all my RMA's. Just don't worry, Google is awesome.

Yeah, I was wondering the same lol, they even removed the Request a call option. Wonder what was the reason ;)

- No it is not the same everywhere.

- No they don't hold your Google wallet here in India.
