Is the rattling of power button common for all devices due to plastic ceramic or just a few handsets?
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
Thanks for suggesting alternatives :) , I was seriously thinking of using a third party app for my official mails but got to know of the update and hence decided to wait for the same.

I completely agree with you that in general we do get frantic about the updates ( to be blunt for something which is coming for free against all hopes :) ) but sometimes it is a matter of utmost necessity for some.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Amkush, in my not so humble opinion you ought to be looking at 3rd party alternatives if email is critical for your business/job. ;)

Don't depend on the built in email app. Also, once again in my not so humble opinion, the best things in life are NOT free. :D :D

Here's the link to Roadsync.

If you scroll to the bottom of the screen you will see other app alternatives.

Amkush, while we are on the topic of email clients...just FYI. I use this for my personal email:

It is because there is enough slack in the button to enable smooth operation. If the rattle were removed people would complain it is too stiff. :) Yes, it is possible this happens because of different materials used.

Let me tell you a secret, I have a few Nikon super telephoto lenses that make a very slight sound when they're shaken. Just like my N5. :)

http://www.nikon.co.in/en_IN/produc...length/telephoto/af-s-nikkor-600mm-f-4g-ed-vr

But guess what? Neither the lenses nor the Nexus 5 are defective! The sound is caused by the vibration reduction mechanism in the lenses and the power button in my N5 handset. So, just forget about these small things and enjoy using your device.

Anybody got OTA update for the Nexus 5 ? I don't want to do it manually. Was wondering if anyone here has received.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
LOL! Here we go again about that silly update. :laugh:'

No bhai, it hasn't been rolled out here yet
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
why?
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
G2 > N5
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
do it for the lulz :P it's not your fault or your brother's. It's google's fault for not deducting the amount so... ;)

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:54 PM ----------

orly?
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
yup, by every aspect.. (except timely updates)

3000 mhz battery this only one thing is enough to go for G2.. 6+ hours SOT by default..

Also a more saturated or properly calibrated screen + IR blaster + many more things.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
except updates, here's thing which are better in nexus 5 acc to me:

Saturated screen is not something everyone like. It's your personal preference.

Pure android, no OEM ****.

Price difference 8k+ ?

The smaller the screen the better? g2 has got 5.2"

g2 has got tooo saturated screen.

un-necessary graphics in g2?

ofc all the points are my personal preferences. but the way you are writing it sounds like you are stating a fact. Please don't do that. :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] anuseb89:
I think the best one out here is htc one max..but the thing is damn costly..compared with the specs and price margin , nexus 5 is the best catch u will get imo..but many ppl are posting too bad reviews abt it..with that much of things under the hoods and price margin , how much we can expect in build quality... :p
[Nexus 5 General] AhmedFaiz:
Wait, no one India has got the OTA yet I believe it's over the air on it way to india.?

Wait or sideload the update its in xda. It's nexus it like to be played with ?

[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Every almost every nexus 4 user who rooted & on custom kernel are using different color profiles to get deeper blacks & more saturation, u will also do it mark my words.

one of my friend ordered a karbonn phone nearly 8 months ago.. priced abt 8k. bt it took 4 days to deliver .. so they canceled the order.. they choose cash on delivery as payment option. after 2 days of cancelling the order the courrier guy came with the phone.. the guy told to sign the paper.. they did. and the courier guy ddnt ask for anything.. they keep the mobile for 2,3 days.. bt no response from snapdeal.. so they started using it. and sold the phone after 1 month.. i also got the treat when they sold the device. :P :D .. hope same case comes with me.. lol.. lol..

i dont really know what should i do. :/
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:

You will have to pay it

[Nexus 5 General] yrgt:
When did you order on which one?
[Nexus 5 General] udimars30:
I guess they won't release the phone too early in india because the US store itself is going out stock within hours and maybe they won't be having much stock left.

But when the US store will be cool down maybe then they will launch in india for more profits!
[Nexus 5 General] chaitanya87:

Stock in India

Heard From inner source that it's releasing in january for india from a lg guy, though it's listed in the store India is always neglected for google i hate this! My uncle is going to us today he returns in 10 days, so told him to get the 32gigs putting the box in his bag and bring it as his use phone :laugh::good: Super excited hope he gets some stock it's already crowded in the store and i will get it for around 25k wtot customs seeing the exchange rate although i will not pay him as he is my uncle :D
[Nexus 5 General] Ashirmittal:
waiting and waiting

Take care ... LTE Band from US is different from India's. So 4G wont work here in India if its bought from US.
[Nexus 5 General] Bigg Boss:
Can LG comment about Google releasing the phone in India ? They should only be commenting about LG releasing the phone in India.
[Nexus 5 General] whosaysjohn:
the phone cost me $700 from eBay...did not take any receipt for the customs as i did not pay the actual amount...the amount they quoted was almost the same as i got from dutycalculator.com...
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
Hey guys,

I have been eyeing N5 for a couple of months since my defy battery died. Thinking of adding money to google wallet before it's release to be safe. and I generally don't use cases with my phones, but due to the camera lens buldge, thinking of ordering one. Will order 2 poetic cases and use shopnship as pfo. It will be my first nexus phone... damn excited..
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
1> Your uncle comes back in 10 days. He won't get the phone in 10 days mate. Not even in 20 days. Atleast expect 3-4 weeks shipping.

2> I even asked for the release date in India from a LG rep, he told me 15th of November. So I guess my and your source are both bull****ting us.

Welcome to the Nexus ship :good::highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] shamps:
Yes, the US play store says atleat 3-4 weeks before the device leaves their warehouse, so hard luck!! Google specifically mentioned in their official release statement that its comjng very soon in India, hence January release seems illogical. I am hopefuk we will see it in a couple of weeks.

Just for information sake, if some1 is looking to import, carphone warehouse has 16gb ready stock in the UK.

Cheers!!

sent from my S4 (9500 international)

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BYEcq5RIIAAsLQz.jpg:large
[Nexus 5 General] saiprasan:
May be true or not but as the stocks are not available in us only i guess it won't release in india for sure! and my uncle he said roughly 10 to 15 days and it shows 2 to 3 weeks if he gets it before he comes well and good or else he will order it and after getting it my relatives will repack it in other box and courier it no customs and no hassle :good: :laugh::D
[Nexus 5 General] :
The exact import is 18.54% ...(Since it increased this year)

So to all ppl. You might pay 4k for a 22k phone and then 1-2k shipping

and Total will be around 25-27K ...
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
I dont think that the availability in the US play store has anything to do with the stocks in India. since google exclusively mentioned that its coming soon in india and the truck icon in the playstore picture indicates it's already on route. IMO it will be available in Indian playstore within this month only.
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
Thanks Sharp !
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Why are you in such turmoil buddy? Just do the right thing. Pay up instead of getting tempted to keep the phone for free. Don't compare a cheap Rs 8K Karbon phone to a Rs 28-33K Nexus 5. No company can afford to let a handset like this one go for free.

Like I said, get your bro to call Support and tell them he's closing the account and they need to charge the cost of the phone at the earliest. They will do it.

And this is Google for God's sake. They are famous for their search capabilities...remember? :laugh:

PS - Of course you can take a chance and keep mum. But there is also a very good chance they will send someone to collect the money OR send you a letter demanding payment. If there's no response there could be a legal notice or police complaint. In the end it's your call actually.
[Nexus 5 General] inder swami:
thanks for your advice.. i think i will call them.. "nexus 5 for free" lol... i'm becoming greedy... :P :D :P
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
You're most welcome bro. The thing is I am sure you don't want any trouble landing on your doorsteps. Not worth it if you ask me.

As for greed, all I say is don't fall prey to it. Times have changed and modern technology helps in tracking down people literally anywhere in the world. I really wouldn't want you (or your poor brother who is totally innocent) to get into any kind of trouble for the sake of a stupid phone.
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Note 3 has 3200 mah battery. And everything else you mentioned.

Nexus is not about bigger is always better, Nexus is pure & optimized android experience. None of manufacturer tweak android for better optimization but they are in hurry to built new phone and stuff it with buggy software with their theme and bloat. That's what they do.

Plus if you only buy phones for battery then you can always buy extended battery for your phone. fp

[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Note 3 lacks development and have that crap Knox so you are stranded with slow, memory monster Touchwiz

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Trust me the Note 3 isn't slow. Just as fast as my Nexus 5.I find it better to use. It's not just the big screen but touch wiz which makes it much easier. Plain vanilla Android sucks. My wife hates the Nexus for that reason. My N5 is relegated to serving as a backup handset.

As for Exynos ROMs you are right. Not much dev support. But I don't particularly care. Tried several ROMs on my Note 2 and they were buggy with very poor battery life.

PS - yes, knox sucks big time.
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
No, it's not.

But you can delete knox apks if they bug you.

Note 3 is alot smoother and blazing fast. HTC One Max is also better choice.

And both of these companies are good for software updates too.

Also, if you are talking about development then there is no better phone than Nexus series
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Yup... Its not slow but i personally hate touchwiz.... Also that size sucks... Also its exynos version in India which is crap

Nope, exynos chip is faster then others but what it lacks is LTE support. And that's OK for INDIA.

Also, I think it would be best if we leave other phone talks outside this topic.

Because people come here to talk/know about Nexus 5 not about G2 or any other phones. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
+1 forgot about K9. It's a good client. But I found Maildroid and Roadsync better. But that's only IMO.

Best part about K9 is it is free. But I am not sure if it is fully compatible with Exchange server. It depends on what version of MS Exchange is used. But no harm trying it out. Coz its free.

https://github.com/k9mail/k-9/wiki/K9MailAndExchange

+1 firstly I have 2 LTE devices (Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 tab which will be delivered today) whose LTE capabilities are/will be of zero use to me. They use only 3G. It's at least another year before LTE will be introduced on major networks. Then it also depends on what type of LTE will be implemented - FDD/TDD and what bands. And yes, you are right. we should stop discussing other handsets here.

Any experience with ShopYourWorld.com?

Hello folks,

does anyone have any experience with ShopYourWorld.com? They seem to be having 32GB Black ones in stock.

They also have CoD, plus a few bucks cheaper than Play Store.

Any experience on replacement & stuff?

Just spoke with their customer support. The lady said that 24 HOURS is the replacement period. And they are offering SELLER warranty. Brand warranty is for USA. I think it's safe to assume that these are imported ones?

Hi Guys,

Thanks.

Happy Nexus 5 user :D

I was just going through this thread after a long time. Read a lot of people complaining about the screen I just wanted to let you all know that i ordered my Nexus 5 from the US (A black 16 gb version) and i'm very very happy with the phone. I was not sure when it will be launched in India so ordered it the day it was announced in the US. It took a while to come to me(my colleague got it to India).. But i just love this phone.. Puts a smile on my face when ever i turn the screen on. Runnig stock for now until i get bored and decide to customise.. And this being a Nexus has plenty of ROMs/MODs to fiddle around with..Gonna pick up a case, i cant find any good cases in the stores. May have to get from ebay..

[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Although LTE is available in couple of cities but I think LTE is 2-3 years away. Indian carriers are still trying to cover 3g in all major cities.

I am in Jaipur and Airtel/Vodafone 3g has very weak reception. I could barely hear the caller's voice sometimes. So I usually keep my phone on 2g unless I am browsing. 3g reception might be better in metros.

[Nexus 5 General] ajainandroid:
I can relate to that , Bought Nexus 5 ( 32gig , Panda ) being my most expensive device .. I did receive a defect free device :highfive:

BUT , If by chance ( More in case of BLACK - Going By comments ) you receive a defective device , you can very well RMA it and even in case of a RMA if you are not happy with the device AGAIN GO FOR RMA .

But in most cases they thoroughly check and send a defect free device in RMA , so a little luck needed there .

If you consider a LITTLE ( very little ) Rattling of Volume Rocker or Power Button a DEFECT , then NOOO , your device won't be defect free,

cause that's the way they are manufactured ,, And i personally do not consider it a defect after using the phone for 5 days .

But do check for common issues of dead pixel etc etc .

I think 1 in 20 Nexus 5 owners will complain about the device , Other 19 like me WILL BE Like :good::good::good::good::good:

Don't worry mate. Just get the device. It's a real beauty. If you have a faulty device it will be replaced by the Google team. Don't worry. I've sent you a PM too.

PS - about this so called volume/power button "rattle". It's no big deal and I still don't understand why people make an issue out of it. If the buttons were slack-free they'd be difficult to depress/use and then people would complain again. :)
