I'm using a capdase slim case bought from eBay.. the texture in the side bezel is coming off lightly..

Does ringke slim texture inside the case is smooth?? I.e. doesn't affect the texture??

I really don't like any case in phone as it makes it bulky.. was considering ringke slim for the protection from sudden fall or something..

How can I take apk files via bluetooth. Every time it fails. But music files comes with no problem
[Nexus 5 General] abhi98228:
Anybody knows customer care no for gati.com my phone is in my area for like 3 days but still not shipped want to ask the status
[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
Just for my info, whats d deal wid 66k? I purchased the device in nov and google never asked for multiple payments. They only deduct a token amount initially when u register ur card and then for the device. Has there been any change in this process.??

As far as the point of purchase is concerned, thats a completely personal choice and its gr8 if the local dealers and lg centres in ur area are helpful. The problem arises when these people dont do their job effectively and then people feel that the play store RMA option is the safer bet.

Anyways, congrats on ur new device. Have a good time :good:

Just received the Phone at Home....Though `m at office, my Wife clicked the picture of the phone and sent it to me and I think It is 311 batch :( :(

How do we check this btw? Its in the Serial Number of the Batch right???

Now, I need to get this replaced. So not opening the box and contacting customer care..But before that, can someone please confirm as to how to check whether it is 311 or 312?

Any help as to how do I get it replaced, would be appreciated.
[Nexus 5 General] atishey23:
I have read this in this thread only.many people complaining that they have charged 66k and second payment comes back after 10-15 days. Thats why google doesn't accept debit cards. Thats what I read but I'm not sure.

Btw do u knw how to check 311k or 312k?

And how to accept apk files thru bluetooth. Always fails when I try to do that.
[Nexus 5 General] abhi98228:
Why do you want it replaced
[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
Batch number (311/312..) is mentioned on the box.

What app are you using to send the apk files. Try ES file explorer. I dont remember facing this issue. Will try again later and let you know.

Also you can use superbeam to transfer files. Thats a lot faster.( The only req here is that both devices should have superbeam installed )
[Nexus 5 General] nexus32:
Because of all the fuss about 311 or 312. When most of the people are getting 312 batch....why 311 batch to me..

Anywayz...I think I shall use the fone and if I find any problem as such...then will rma it, rather then returning it without opening the box.

Once I go home, will decide whether to open the phone or not.
[Nexus 5 General] abhi98228:
Lol you can't rma without using it and there isn't much diff in 311 and 312 but still each to his own
[Nexus 5 General] nexus32:
Lolz..I know I cant rma it until I use it. Thats why I wanted to return it for good and then buy a new one.

There is 15 day return policy if we dont open the box. That is what I was talkin about. Now, if I open the box, I can only RMA it if I find a fault in it.

Hey ppl..Is there a way to turn off "last seen" in whatsapp on android..I had an iPhone 5 before and it was there..but I can't see that here..so can we do that..
[Nexus 5 General] atishey23:
I'm not talking about sending apk files, But to receive them via bluetooth.when I try to send any apk file to nexus 5 it doesn't show any notification, on other device I get notification that file not sent. When I try to send music file...it gets received normally.

I knw about superbeam but for small apks bluetooth is best...coz no setup needed. In superbeam. First we have to configure it.

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
dude... stappphh! I got my nexus 5 on 22nd November and it was 310k , next was 311k on next RMA and then 312k for current RMA, and trust me, I think 310k was the best ever. Though 312k is okay too but 310 was perfect, just had power button rattle and that's it. New versions have power + volume + camera rattle... trust me on this.. batch number doesn't matter and google hasn't revised the hardware yet (if at all they even do). Be happy with yours and if u find issues, just RMA it, simple :)
[Nexus 5 General] abhi98228:

[Nexus 5 General] gautham_y:
[MENTION=4598228]india86[/MENTION] that is a problem, the static. Though I'm still not sure of it's a hardware or software issue. Other than that check microphone quality during phone calls.

Edit. Thought I'd let you know, mine has a rattle and the microphone issue during video recording. Call quality is perfect though.
[Nexus 5 General] india86:
Call is clear...no probs with that..if video is the only issue..i can live with that..BTW any suggestion on the below.

Can anyone suggest me the difference between then and which one you recommend.

capdase karapace jacket or Capdase Soft Jacket Xpose Back.....

If any one is using kindly provide your feedback.
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Almost every user here has reported about static noise in video recording. I have it too and its clearly audible while playing video with full volume. Call quality is clear for other party and nobody has ever complained about it. So no issues there.
[Nexus 5 General] Hemant946:
**** this noise ...my perfect fone has glitch :crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
It does sound good theoretically on paper but practically it's not a way I would go with tbh. Just imagine, even if someone do send it here with seeing it's in perfect condition, you still can never be sure if in future it will give you any headache's or not.

I had Nexus 4 from India which in start (after 15 days) had a very very minor problem. Some dust was gone in the usb port and you know it was very very small, you probably had to open up the handset to fix it. But I went to LG and as my handset has warranty , they said wait for few mins. They came out in 10 mins and told me it's all good now. That minor dust was not allowing the usb cable to go in so my phone wasn't charging.

Trust me, warranty is a very big thing. It doesn't matter if you get warranty for 2k or 3k or even 5k. Warranty means security and it really really helps in the long run. Just a little small issue and your 25k phone will screw you. I personally would have actually gone for imported version as Nexus 4 came here in May/June. So that much wait was un-acceptable. But then google india said it to be "coming soon" so I thought of waiting.

It all depends on how feasible the situation is for you. If you think you want imported one - go for it. :) But If I had to suggest someone about Nexus 5, I would tell them to wait :) I myself have got 32k cash in hand right now. If someone sells nexus 5 with indian warranty 16gb , I would buy it right now. :D but too bad I'm still waiting like many others.
[Nexus 5 General] letmedanz:
16gb is being shown as available for 32 on some sites.. Could be imported versions.. The store is called ibhejo.. Not sure if credibility of the site

[Nexus 5 General] anirudhnyg:
Just get yourself into a dark room and search for "black" on Google images ... N download a completely black image .. Open it and see if your screen blackhas white patches in the edges ... This is how I checked for backlight bleeding... I have none .... But my screen has yellow patch at the bottom and button so loose that it fells like it will fall out soon... I am thinking of doing a RMA .. I will have this phone till the new one comes ? Will I need to pay my own courier charges for RMA ? any one with RMA please share the experience ... This will help in deciding if I should do it or not .. Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
1. Shipping cost in RMA is borne by Google and the shipping agent will get in touch with you for pick up once your RMA is approved.

2. You will have to ship the phone back to Google first, once they receive it they will send back the replacement after inspection. They generally send the replacement the same day they receive the phone and it should take minimum 2 days and maximum depends on the shipping agent :) for the replacement device to reach you.

Turned on my newly received 32 GB Black, in the boot animation can see a greenish pixel against the black background. Restarted and same thing. So thats a dead pixel I guess? Should I wait for it to go away? Should I wait for more to appear and then RMA it?

Will Google RMA just for one dead pixel.

(can live with the rattle but not a dead pixel. Stares right in your face)

312k batch. Negligible rattle, if at all. 1 dead pixel.

[Nexus 5 General] nxs5:
Nexus 5 Arrived!!

As specified in FedEx tracker, got the device last night! Before that, I got a micro sim from Airtel and got it activated before the phone arrived. Paid 25/- and activation took only few hours.

This phone is a well designed, sleek, stylish with no jazz or bloated design elements. Awesome piece, so light and thin like a small slate. Very impressed. Galaxies, notes, ones, xperias etc. can't even come closer to this. As someone else specified in this forum, Google should've promoted this with reasonable marketing especially in India where there are people still consider quality feature rich products sold at reasonable price point.

Now to the device unwrap details:

* 312k version - Build no. KOT49H

* No dead pixel or rattling issues so far

* Preloaded with 4.4.2 and not system update required

* Some of the Google apps required updates and updated them as well.

* Downloaded Ashpalt 8. Awesome graphics and performance. No lag.

* Shot few quick videos of playing keyboard instrument. Average quality especially sound is not so great. Will check if mic position and distance makes a difference in sound recording quality.

Ordered Spi Gen Ultra Hybrid skin Black with mobilefun. Awaiting for delivery.

Planning to get a car holder. Would prefer a sleek but stable model. May go for an unit which can be easily attached/detached to AC vent.

That's for now, folks! Enjoy your device :)

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
I have not come across anybody reporting adverse impact on functionality of the phone due to power/volume button rattling or for that matter it becoming loose and falling off just like that. Moreover in 312K batch phones the buttons are more flush and there is negligible sideways movement. In worst case scenario if anything goes wrong with buttons ( very slim chance) then you always have the option of RMA :)
[Nexus 5 General] atishey23:
Sadly I can't ram it...coz I have purchased it from local dealer. Can LG service center help me?
