I guess I'll just buy a new sim and try it out.. If I find the coverage good, I'll port my primary number else, I'll throw away the new sim.. LOL :silly:

I live in Malad, Evershine Nagar.. Hope the coverage is good :rolleyes:

Running PA 4.45 Beta 1 with Franco Kernel and I'm getting amazing performance and battery.

I recommend this for anyone looking to switch roms or try a new kernel
[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
Ask around before getting the sim... I don't know about Bombay but here a sim costs about 110 rupees... I ask my friends who live near me about the coverage and then only get it...☺

[Nexus 5 General] nextavenger:
It's quite stable. I was using stable and then updated to beta last afternoon and then flashed Franco Kernel.

I can't comment about the battery as my phone is just a few days old and kernel was flashed last evening so it will take a few cycles for the battery to become proper.

I can tell you that there is a definite difference in battery when using PA kernel and Franco's

Got the Fiio E6 delivered today morning and there's a significant difference in sound! You guys were right, Viper4Android is no where near a hardware upgrade. It's a whole new level of sound altogether from it.

Using it with a pair of PL30 or the sennheiser Street II..

Still not decided on which headphones to buy -.-

Thanks a lot guys for persuading me in buying an external dac. It's sure was a good upgrade!

[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Congrats! Its definitely worth. Buy a good pair of headphones. Its a better idea to try the headphones before buying.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
That's where the problem arises :| where the heck should I try them on? :( Croma and hypercity have trial headphones but all of them are over the ear ones which are bulky. I asked why they don't have a trial set for In-ear ones and they said that there are many people who manhandle them and eventually it gets damaged within few weeks which they can't afford.

Contacted V-Moda and Jays from their website and they said we have to pay extra for customs and other duty + $30 for shipping. A pair of A-Jay fives or V-Moda remote remix will put a $150+ hole in my wallet even though they retail at $99. Had heard awesome reviews about the two.

I then decided to go with the SOL Republic Amps HD which costs Rs. 6800 and it has manufacturer warranty in India. I was so happy only to find out that they are out of stock @ snapdeal :( Amazon and ebay are charging a lot for it.

So, my search for a good pair of $70-100 headphones continues :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
You can search for the RE0, pretty good for its price based on the reviews. Atleast you can try the S4i which should be available in Croma. That also is pretty good. Try lynx india.

[MENTION=1105117]nextavenger[/MENTION]

It's already been clarified by Xiaomi that they don't share any info and collect the data just to track what people use the most and gather info to update their releases. People in India are skeptical just because it's a Chinese company and the fact that they came in India for the first time. There are millions and millions of Xiaomi devices sold in many countries.

Gsmarena's editor also apologized for the same as they were a part of spreading this news without looking at all aspects.

Besides that, Google has almost all personal info we have on our devices and so does apple (of people who use iOS). So, it's pointless thinking about the same with Xiaomi just because it's a Chinese company.

[MENTION=5165311]vin4yak[/MENTION] flipkart is playing fool with this xiaomi registration and stuff today called up the cc and asking them for the early access to buy the mi3 but they just rejected the fact it was not possible for any person to get early access. WTf is wrong with them despite mentioning on flipkart first service that they will allow early access

now all hope waiting for 12th August
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
That's really sad man! Btw, I still think it's Xiaomi's fault and not Flipkarts! The moto g/x/e sale went smoothly as compared to this.. May be Xiaomi isn't providing many units on the sale date and this whole registration thing and 'sold xxx units in 5 Seconds' sounds classic Xiaomi strategy.

In any case, we can't do a thing. Best of luck mate for the next sale.. You will need it! Lol :)

[Nexus 5 General] inder swami:
it is not the xiaomi strategy . they manufacture the device sold in india separately. and they underestimate the indian demand. actually because when they launched the phone there were only 10000 followers so they have made there manufacturing process set according to that and the devices manufacturing process can't be increased from 10000 to 100000 in a week they are doing it 10000,10000,15000,20000 so this is how they can proceed. they have even postponed the launch of redmi 1s because to the need so that this will not happen again...

and right now i'm a big fan of Hugo Barra. you dont see anyone with this attitude. hats off to Hugo Barra.

Did you flash all the factory img files?? Mount errors are caused mostly because if improper formatting of the cache partition. If that's the case, flash the cache.img a couple of times and then factory reset from the "stock" recovery. This should fix it.

[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
I guess your friend gave you wrong info. I think flipkart never said they will give the flipkart first users the chance to buy it a day before actual sale.

But as far as I can remember Mi gave some people chance to buy the device a day before its first sale on flipkart, all those people(1000) who were the first to like Mi India page and share that page were given the chance to buy it day before. But that was only for first sale.

Is it safe to lock the bootloader when m running a custom rom?
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
With bootunlocker, yes. I never tried it though.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes. I have the bootloader locked at all times. I unlock it only if I have to update my rom/kernel or play with system files which could potentially lead to a bootloop.

I even have the stock recovery at all times and only change to a custom one while flashing :)

Since my warranty is covered under LG, I take these precautions!

- Sent from an IceCold Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Thanks mate... Locking the bootloader gives a sense of safety even on custom rom..lol...

Just one more question...if i lock the bootloader..can i still access twrp and flash zips?
[Nexus 5 General] nithin1992:
I currently have a Cruzerlite bugdroid case and it's pretty good except it tends to lift my tempered glass protector so I'm left with no choice but to buy a different case. Any suggestions on which case to buy? How are the replica spigen cases? I'm looking for a good value for money case which does the job well.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes.. Bootloader's locked status just locks out "fastboot" commands. You can access all recoveries and flash zips or do anything. Only fastboot commands will be inaccessible.
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Thanks mate...so if my bootloader is locked and i relfash my rom zip then ??? I guess it wouldnt/cant touch the kernel..
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
You can flash any flashable zips via a custom recovery irrespective of the bootloader status. It has nothing to do with the access to recovery or any other thing. As mentioned in my earlier post, only fastboot commands will be inaccessible with a locked bootloader.

When you flash a rom.zip, the kernel also gets replaced. So, if you're using a custom kernel which differs from the one in rom.zip, you need to flash it separately.

For eg: I'm on AICP which has n3ohammer set as default kernel. So if I flash aicp.zip, my kernel would be n3ohammer. But I use ElementalX so I need to flash the ElementalX.zip after flashing aicp.zip.
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Sorry to ask, but what's the point of locking bootloader after root. Is there any case where you need a locked bootloader if something worse happens ? And, if by any chance we brick our phone, unlocked bootloader is the safety measure for flashing factory images.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
All mobile devices suffer from eMMC failures and our Nexus 5 is no different. In most cases, a eMMC brick results in the phone bootlooping on the "Google" logo which unfortunately has the "unlocked" symbol when we unlock the bootloader. However, there's more to it. Most eMMC bricks result in the phone not being able to "write" anything to the eMMC which means you can't lock the bootloader if the eMMC has failed. So, if I keep the device unlocked and suffer a eMMC brick, I won't be able to change the "unlocked' symbol under the Google Logo which voids the warranty if it's covered by LG.

All of this only matters if the warranty is covered by LG. Google provides warranty to all devices under any circumstances as long as the "brick/issue" isn't caused by the user.

About the 2nd part of your post, the device won't bootloop even under the worst condition. Bootloops only occur because of a user error and if you know what you're doing with your files, bootlooping doesn't come into the picture at all. I've for never faced any bootloops in all the time I've owned my Nexus 5 and believe me, I do play around system files a lot! I've once managed to mess up my cache partition because of some error I made.. but that's about it.. Never faced any issues otherwise.
[Nexus 5 General] swat4samp:
Thanks for the detailed explanation dude :good: Do you know what exactly causes emmc failure? Is it by any chance related to the number of wipes done to partitions?

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Like all other gadgets, it has a shelf life and can die at anytime. No, flashing will certainly not cause eMMC failures as it's a hardware failure. You won't reach the limit of number of writes that can be done on an eMMC in the phone's life cycle! :D So stop worrying about the "no. of flashes you make" :)

Congrats to those of you who already got their devices.

I have one question though. Do the on screen buttons seem like a hindrance to the otherwise great display when playing games and in other apps. I know that Google has made the notification panel and on screen controls transparent in KitKat and the controls hide when in Play Books or watching videos.

Just want a first hand advice since i have never owned a Nexus device before and neither had the chance to toy around with one. I have Galaxy Note II as of now and I'm looking forward to buying the Nexus 5. Any advice would be helpful. :)
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
Nice find, I am eyeing for 32GB. Buying new phone after 2 years and my last one was Moto Defy. And this one will be for 2 more years I guess. So opting the higher one.

When I purchased different apps, I had to pay through wallet only. So to be on the safe side, I guess it's better to be prepared. Add your CC to wallet beforehand. If they provide a normal gateway like other shopping sites, you will use that, you have nothing to lose.

Wrong quote i guess,

I have ordered white carbon and yellow back and side screens. Will order one white carbon front, a full front protector and a full set of titenium black together when they strat selling front skin. Used the coupon and got it shipping free. According to their shipping notification, they mentioned 3 to 6 weeks as they send it through standard airmail.
