[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
Is dead pixel is display big problem?

I got 1 in mine.. Also went to service center its very hard to notice at 100% brightness on only black backgrounds.. It means mine is defected piece?
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Yup
[Nexus 5 General] Rygart1811:
If you can live with it, then there is nothing to worry, right ? After all you have to use it..

Asking about whether its defected ?

Since it has a defect, how minute it may be, yes it is defected.

Ask for the replacement if possible
[Nexus 5 General] ruchirtrehan:
Yup, even if nexus series are cheap compared to others you still did paid for it and somewhere near in future you'll be unhappy with that stuck/dead pixel better to get a replacement asap as yours is still new, after a week or so I don't think they'll easily agree to replace it, no matter how difficult it is to find it but yeah it's mostly a big issue and a defected piece too, go get a replacement. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] finisher29:
It's here!!!

Just received the package!!! :victory::victory::victory::victory:

Let the unboxing begin!!!!!! :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Rygart1811:
Talking about deliveries, I was pretty sure that I wont be getting it delivered by today (classic Bluedart), but still I couldnt control my hopes to get a hand on it this weekend.. And as expected all hopes were shattered :crying:

Now the wait for monday begins.. this is the first time I am eagerly waiting for the weekend to pass.. :D

P.S: I had got the confirmation mail yesterday night.
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
So far no power button rattle, gotta remove the nexus written screen protector to check dead pixel, but my reverse wifi dropping.

Speaker volume is super low, almost inaudible (tried the stock ringtones) had to update few google apps. batch 311k

hi...i guess u were using the htc one before and now shifted to nexus 5....even am using a htc one now want to shift to nexus 5...i wanna ask how is the camera as compared to nexus 5 and the overall experience...anything u can advice me thank you.
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
You are the chosen one bro
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
finally after an EPIC long wait got shipping mail at 5:10PM

BTW they are sending mine in Aramex
[Nexus 5 General] Ashutosh1313:
Well Im not gonna diss the HTC One since it was my first love.

But to be honest N5 is a step up in almost every aspect, camera is not that bad as almost everyone seems to exaggerate its really good. build quality is definitely superior on One, but N5 has really awesome and different texture.

If you really want to experience Android at its best then you should go for it :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
I didnt got the shipment bro. On monday now. Did you get it?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Hmm, come to think of it the 310 code probably means 2013 and 10th Month (Oct) while 311 is 2013 and 11th month (Nov). These are probably manufacturing batch #s not hardware revisions.
[Nexus 5 General] myvijay:
It has reported that there is a glue leakage issue on some speakers. There is hardware mod which involves punching holes into the speaker casing, will void your warranty for sure :) There is a software mod which increases the speaker volume both for speaker and heaphones try this. You need to have custom recovery to flash.

If you have never rooted or unlocked bootloader. Take a look at this guide.

If you wish to have better battery life try the franco kernel, was very awesome on my Gnex, the kernel includes many patches to AOSP for WIFI which was consuming too much battery.

I got my shipping email at 2:40pm today. I am in Bangalore. Any idea how long does it take for Bluedart to ship it to this city? Anyone from Bangalore who has already received it?
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
You can expect till monday dude
[Nexus 5 General] shantzg001:
Got the email this morning around 11 AM that package had been shipped. Got the phone at 2 PM :/

Everything fine here.

And yeah, this happened while I was trying out the Now launcher. Kiddo came up to me asking "Aap kya kar rahe ho" and I was like WTF on what happened next. Microsoft and Apple should just shut shop and go home. (PS: Not specific to N5. Tried on my N4 after this and same there, so Google now is awesome everywhere)

Early impressions of my device.

This is a quick first impressions. Received my device minutes ago!!

S/N starts with 311K

Power button rattles a little bit :(

No dead pixels :D

Speaker is very very low. I knew it was low but didn't expect it to be this low. :(

And yeah the dust accumulation problem is true. Got a tiny dust particle stuck at the bottom. Can't get it out. So be careful guys! :(
[Nexus 5 General] dbasu84:
I am with you :good:
[Nexus 5 General] NK86:
That sucks! Anyway, what would be the best back cover and screen guard for it. I was hoping to order it today so that I could receive it along with my phone. Any idea? Also, how is Sennheiser cx 180?
[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
Its been over 20 hrs now since i rcvd the shipment info. The tracking id is still not active. I wonder what Blue dart z upto. Anywyz, all hopes of setting up the device during the weekend are now out of the window. Just hoping Monday is the lucky day... :( :( :(

bad luck mate. show it to LG customer care, ask for quotation, if it's much then send bk to google. I doubt at this time of launch, lg is able to repair it. Its too soon for them i suppose

Got my device from Bluedart office just now.

Hyderabad. Ordered on: 20th 3:23AM. Shipped yesterday, but i didnt get shipment stuff(even play store status was pending) till i mailed them.

It's a 310.

I'll start porting my HaloGen ROM with franco kernel now :)

Congo.. Do show us some screens
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
i think the whole east india is being delivered by Aramex

and our order was processed at the same exact time but i would need to wait till monday since it will take some more time to reach guwahati!
[Nexus 5 General] abhi06dua@gmail.com:
Did you mail to any particular team handling the shipping? What exactly did you write in the mail?

Wanted to know because i ordered 32 gig black on 20th at 12:07 PM but haven't got any shipping details as of now. :(
[Nexus 5 General] iamsachin:
I used the customer care form in play store support. I just mentioned that I was among the first to order and I still didn't receive any update on shipment. After around half an hour I got shipment mail.

Edit: Notable thing. My phone was shipped but they didn't update the "Pending Status" and mail me the shipment details, till i mailed the complaint.
[Nexus 5 General] coldmixer:
Received my 32gb black nexus today. Ordered on 20th November 8pm in the evening.

It was shipped on 22 november via Blue Dart to Bangalore. This is 311k.

ah yours is white? may be then .... yes I have black so..

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 PM ----------

wow 311k? I am guessing you bought it from retailer bro? as afaik playstore ones are all 310k.
[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
Congrats...njy d device :)

I ordered in the morning same day @ bangalore but still waiting... How long did it take for the tracking id to get activated??
[Nexus 5 General] coldmixer:
Hope you get your device soon. I don't know how long it took for the device to get activated since I did not expect for it to be shipped this early.

I checked email this evening and saw it was shipped yesterday. An hour later I got it via Blue Dart. I got the Grey bumper case as well. Everything good so far.

Small issue: Slight rattle of the power button. Not noticeable unless you look for it. Using a case now, and no problem right now.
[Nexus 5 General] torpedo_20:
gt my shipment today :)

-power button rattling is there but doesnt bother me much

- the new photos app is missing in my nexus 5 . I still have g+ photos and gallery. No updates found in playstore as well as in system updates.

Got my shipping confirmation mail today 8:00 pm, I booked on 20 nov 12:00 pm.

I don't know but my shipment seems to sent via fedex unlike others via bluedart !!

Now my package seems to be in Mumbai transit in fedex tracking page, when can i expect picking it up ?

Shipping location is Kerala, Thrissur.
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
i got by aramex
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Just got my shipping confirmation, about 7 hours after the phone was delivered by FedEx. LOL! :D
[Nexus 5 General] coldmixer:
No photos app here as well.
[Nexus 5 General] athani:
Hard luck, Man. I guess the down side to buying cheap from US is the risk of having no warranty coverage.

Anyway, it's just the speaker so hopefully repairs won't be expensive. Keep us posted.

I bought mine from Amazon. try it. I 29k rupee 16gb
[Nexus 5 General] jithendra194:
I need help... Sry for kinda noob question but.. I bought my very first Google device from play store... After I ordered it.. It still shows pending... And it says... "leaves warehouse by 27th November" and I didn't even get a confirmation email yet. It's been 2 hours and I still didn't get an email.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
It is possible the CC transaction wasn't authorised by the bank. If you don't get an order confirmation email, check your credit card account. If it has been charged call Google Support and speak to them.
[Nexus 5 General] jithendra194:
Amount was deducted from my account..... And I've noticed in the support section... It's written that I need to call them if I don't get the email in 1 business day*..... But it's Saturday.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Speak to Google Play Support at the earliest and advise them of the situation.
[Nexus 5 General] XpayneX:
New Photos App

Wait WHAT? Really? I just got my shipment details today and its gonna be a real big disappointment if the new Photos app is missing :(

Can everyone who have received the phone pls confirm if they've the new Photos app pre-installed?:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] jithendra194:
And I've noticed in the support section... It's written that I need to call them if I don't get the email in 1 business day*..... But it's Saturday. I need to wait for 1 more day? :(
[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
I believe you should write a mail to them explaining about the situation. You may also opt to request a callback. In any case, get it cleared at the earliest.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Buddy, give them a call nevertheless. If they don't answer or you get a message about working days/hours, try again 1st thing on Monday morning. The earlier you inform them the better it is.

Check this link https://support.google.com/googleplay/contact/c2c_hardware_shipping

They will call you at the number you provide.
[Nexus 5 General] abhinn124:
Don't worry, pending means that your order hasn't shipped yet.

Took me 3 days to receive the Shipping mail and all the while it said pending until today.

If you have'nt received an e-mail then goto

https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411789

and click on My Orders and after that Click on info under the status tab.

As an alternative you can also check your Google Wallet page, if it says pending then don't worry,

its in a processing state and will ship soon.
[Nexus 5 General] abhi06dua@gmail.com:
You can call the Google Play Store support on Sunday also. It is a working day for them although the timings are different compared to normal weekdays.

Call them anytime between 9 AM to 6 PM tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] shivaranjan:
I received my Nexus 5 32 GB black today evening. I got the email in the afternoon at around 2pm and the phone got delivered by 6pm. I ordered on 20th Nov at 8am. I guess the email of phone getting shipped arrives after the phone gets shipped and there can be delays in updating the order from Google in play store. I received the phone from Mumbai.
[Nexus 5 General] thegr8anand:
Have been using it and have unlocked and rooted and ready. Installed all the apps i use. Liking it a lot.

Have the 310 build as well.
[Nexus 5 General] jithendra194:
So you didn't get an email after you placed an order?

---------- Post added at 11:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

In my orders page, under the status... It says.. Leaves warehouse by 27th November and after I clicked info.... It says... Pending. Even in the receipt it says pending.
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
Those who got their Mobiles

Guys,

Can anybody tell me the address from where they shipped your device (BLUEDART)

May be they must have written "if undelivered return to" or something.

I got my mail in morning but shipping status is not yet active.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Am I the only one who thinks that speakers are not that bad? I mean it's not as great as HTC One(and why would they be anyways? it's HTC One! they have beats) but they are not bad either. I find them okay.
[Nexus 5 General] shantzg001:
beats is just a software component (equalizer set in a particular way to boost the low end). But yeah, otherwise HTC one has speakers unparalleled and cost that much more for this.
[Nexus 5 General] shivaranjan:
I did get an email after placing the order. The shipping details email from Google play store arrived this afternoon and 3 hrs after that phone arrives at my home. There is no way the phone reached Chennai from Mumbai in 3 hrs :)
[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
I received the tracking id yesterday eve but its still not activated. Contacted google support but even no reply from them once the issue was transferred to the delivery team. M just hoping they sort it out and i get the device on Monday.
[Nexus 5 General] jithendra194:
I didn't get an email.... I'm really annoyed.. :(
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
Dont worry about mail dude. there are many who directly got their devices without any tracking id and mail
[Nexus 5 General] niks4101:
Same problem here. I got the mail at 6 pm but the tracking number is still saying not found as its not activated. I am hoping I receive it on Monday.
[Nexus 5 General] k1chy:
Yes. It works with Gmail, Email, Hangouts. If you want to check notification LED, install lightflow lite and do a check. The duration between flases as per stock is ~10 seconds. So it will light up after a bit longer time than you expect. Hope your LED is not damaged.

I got the new photos app as part of G+ update I believe. I got a ton of updates for google apps after updating them I might have got the new photos app. I did not notice it carefully.
[Nexus 5 General] XpayneX:
Phew! That's a relief. Thnx!

Been waiting eagerly for the N5 to arrive and this 'waiting part' is so annoying :mad: The only difference between 4 days back and today is that instead of refreshing the Google Play store every few mins, I'm refreshing this thread lol
[Nexus 5 General] jithendra194:
Well, I called Google support and they say I might have been in an area which they don't support shipping. Ahh.. I don't think I'm living in some remote place. It's Hyderabad. :l
[Nexus 5 General] shajumohamed:
Any news on the availability of 32gb models in retail stores???
[Nexus 5 General] niks4101:
Google plus photos becomes Photos application after a google plus update
[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
Check your tracking id again. Mine was also not showing up, but now it has (in the last 5-10 mins).
[Nexus 5 General] Sparx75:
I called up a LG store in Kolkata today and they said they might get it Next week and to check back then. MIGHT. I am waiting on the 32GB retail release myself cause the other options aren't working out right now for me.

I noticed its on LG India's Website, the 32GB model and since they announced the pricing, I think its safe to say, it should be here by December 1st week.
[Nexus 5 General] niks4101:
Wow you are right. Thanks. Now i got another page to refresh.
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
Tracking page activated. Delivery tomorrow. But dont have hopes as tomorrow is sunday

NEXUS IS HERE!!!!

Ordered on 20th Nov at 6 pm.

Got it delivered on 23rd 4 PM

Black 32 GB,

Pictures and first impression follow next!

The boot up was one of the sweetest minute of my life :)
[Nexus 5 General] Venomous Viper 119:
Mine is shipping in the next 48 hours. Got a message on phone in the noon. Btw, when will it be delivered approximately? Also I ordered on eBay this bump case (red color):

And also a EZ screen guard ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Aj.GaLaxY aCE:
It may be off topic ... but i am in a dilemma with htc one and nexxu 5 ...

nexus 5 is reporting build quality errors and is poor built than htc(well its obviously so)..

so if i am getting one at 35,000 at ebay and nexus at 33,000 at play store .. what to buy?

also can some of you give us a pro con review?.. I have googled it a 100 times but not satisfied
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
nop, mine is 311k
[Nexus 5 General] souvik101990:
NEXUS all the way.

You want to google when it comes to android

HTC One comes with tons of HW failures. One of my friends has one with faulty HW (I can get you in touch with him if you want)

On the other hand, if you have a faulty Nexus, just RMA it :)
[Nexus 5 General] Sunil_k:
Finally got the email which states my black 32gb nexus 5 has shipped! My cruzerlite case is on its way and the spigen tempered glass screen protector will be shipped on nov 27. Woohoo!

Package Status

So, the status of my BlueDart package is:

" Status:	Flight/Vehicle/Train; Delayed/Cancelled

Contact Customer Service"

It's coming from Mumbai to Chandigarh. Was picked up on 22nd November according to the tracking info.

I tried calling the customer service number, 1860 233 1234, as given to me by the Mumbai office. But the automated service stated that the customer service will be available on Monday after 9am.

Should I be concerned about this status of the package?

Anybody else ever experienced this before?

:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] ishaan.ahuja:
expected shipping?

I'm jealous of you all..!

I ordered mine 16gb black on 21 Nov at 5 pm...and it showed "leaves warehouse by 29th Nov."

Has anyone ordered at the same time? Can anyone tell when am I supposed to have it delivered??? :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] niks4101:
I was just reading this http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Google-Nexus-5-vs-HTC-One_id3486/page/1 maybe this can help you if you havent seen it yet.
[Nexus 5 General] sidrocks89:
Now I'm ***king scared. I've already ordered nexus 5 32gb black from US and after reading so many posts about faulty devices I don't know what to do :confused: it doesn't have international warranty :(
[Nexus 5 General] athani:
Same here. And the worst part is that with shipping and customs, the saving is negligible.

Has your device shipped? How are you getting it to India?
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
I booked one N5 from the ebay seller empiretronix on 19th Nov and when on 20th the Play store opened up its N5 booking bought one from there too. 32GB both. Today got the delivery of the phone from the play store and was really surprised to see the phone in person. Its beautiful and am really in love with the phone. Waiting for the Ebay seller to now ship the phone to me.
[Nexus 5 General] sidrocks89:
OMG, already ordered from US playstore, do keep us posted. :eek:

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

Nops, not shipped yet. A friend of mine would be carrying it for me. Did save around 6k though.
[Nexus 5 General] athani:
Ok, I'm having it shipped so saving hardly 2k.

Thinking of selling it at cost. I'll pay 2k more and buy with warranty from here.

If you're not worried about saving, you can do the same. Or have your friend check the phone - if defective, he can RMA it there.
[Nexus 5 General] sidrocks89:
Yup, better to do the same than to get a faulty device with no warranty.
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Same here....mine shipping from Mumbai to Delhi. I contacted them in the evening itself they said that it would be delivered on Monday and when I asked them for the reason of delay he said the same which is written on the web. lol
[Nexus 5 General] torpedo_20:
mine was from Mumai to Hyd....pickup date 22Nov. Bluedart customer service said the shipment is cancelled and u'll get delivery on Monday.

I went in person to the local Blue dart office and guess wat " it was out for delivery". :P Tracked down the delivery boy and took my shipment :D
[Nexus 5 General] XpayneX:
Lol yeah they basically just read out the exact same thing that's written on the tracking page which we use.

Thanx for the info though :good:
[Nexus 5 General] server3249:
Well, engage your backup plan... you did plan for this situation right??:D
[Nexus 5 General] manujosephv:
I would also say not to go for HTC.. their customer service sucks bigtime.. I bought a Desire U for my wife and the phone went dead withing a month.. the process of getting a new device was tedious as hell.. You need to go to service center and get a DOA certificate, and submit it to the retailer WITHIN 5 days.. And if the retailer does not accept(as in my case) HTC will say we cant do anything..

Fought with them a lot and they agreed to give me a 1 on 1 replacement of the phone.. I gave my phone for replacement and its been more than a month and I haven't got my phone yet...

Now you decide if you want HTC or not!!..
