So does it have all the fixes like louder speaker, bigger speaker holes, no dust under screen, etc? Any other defects other than rattle??
[Nexus 5 General] Simplyansh:
After second authorization amount raised. If second authorization amount is raised on 1st then u have to wait till 14th for previous authorization amount to get cancelled by google.
[Nexus 5 General] chandradithya:
No defects AFAIK. :)

Had the 2G/3G issue with Aircel for a few hours now its fixed. Was an issue with my provider.
[Nexus 5 General] Simplyansh:
Works perfectly

Just cut your sim leaving the golden chip part of it. N5 works perfectly with all 3g bands of all networks in India.

Unfortunately, Vodafone is not yet providing 3g speed in Bangalore yet. Airtel 3g is quite good in bangalore.

Okkk i will make sure that it is the 312k version ..... i will wait like a month more and then buy it .

Play store is the only option for me ,the local sellers.... they dont have the 32 gb available :(
[Nexus 5 General] Simplyansh:
Answer

No Idea watelse is causing this, call google play store customer care.

I believe in this case, you order would be treated as first order and shipped late.
[Nexus 5 General] chandradithya:
when i placed an order they took 28999 from my card on 12th dec (order date) then after close to 14 days they made another charge for 28999. When i called them and asked about the double charging they answered that they can only hold the amount in the card for 14 days so they will release the previous amount and once again take the same amount, Sadly none of the indian banks refund that amount in time. And it will take about 3 weeks. Thats probably the reason why you're having that issue. Maybe your card gets declined for the 2nd charge due to insufficient balance. and maybe you have to wait for the refund first.
[Nexus 5 General] Simplyansh:

[Nexus 5 General] nickee007:
I think I am from the first few who got the second authorization issue. (Long Post but to all who are planning to buy Nexus 5 a must read)

I placed the order on 25th Nov and at that moment of time there was some issue with the Google inventory so they took more than seven days to deliver my device. Due to which and some bull**** policy of Google I got second authorization mail from google on 2nd Dec and amount got debited from my account again.

Luckily I recived the device on 5th December (yes 10 days after placing the order). Later on from that day I kept checking with google and they kept on saying within 2- 14 days I will get my money back. After 14 days I called them back now they said that Due to Policies of Indian banks they transfer the amount within 21 Buisness days. So again I checked with Google after 14 days and they are saying that they had released the authorization on 25th Nov itself and they mentioned the same on the follow-up email.

Now I checked with my bank(ICICI) about the authorization refund and they are saying that if they would have received the amount they would have transferred it on the same day. Now I raised the support ticket with ICICI bank and they are saying it might take 7 to 8 weeks (Correct 7 to 8 WEEKS) to resolve this.

Please consider my post before placing an order for the Black Nexus 5 32 GB Device and the after effects of a

typical Indian behavior

from Google's Part.

If any one who has got his money back from the 2nd authorization please let me know the procedure that you have followed.
[Nexus 5 General] sidh10:
Even my account has been debited twice. My device has still not shipped so I don't know when my refund will take place but this charging policy by google is sure weird. Keep us updated on what happens.

Where did you get it from?
[Nexus 5 General] iChaitanya:
Same here. My Nexus 5 16GB was delivered to my place today, but money has been debited twice. One transaction is billed and the other one is "under settlement" (it says MEMO DEBIT).

First auth was on 8th Dec (this one is still "under settlement" - MEMO DEBIT)

Second auth and charge was a couple of days ago (when the device was shipped)

What nonsense is this and how to get rid of this second charge? :mad:

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Don't worry dude, for every single person it happened the same way, I called up Google Customer care, they told the under settlement - memo debit transaction automatically gets cancelled in 14days from the time new authorization amount was raised. Its bit weird but that is how Google Billing System works. :(
[Nexus 5 General] sidh10:
I got my shipping notification an hour back ie at 12.40 am. Hope it gets delivered within the week.

7 yrs, hope you are in love wid your SIM by now :laugh: Kidding.. I believe Airtel have separate SIMs for 3g service, unluckily i'm a hardcore vodafone customer from quite sum time which doesn't have 3g or 4g LTE network in bangalore yet :(

Nexus 5 Future-proof?

Guys, I'm in a bit of a dilemma....:rolleyes:

Should I buy the N5? If Android starts switching to 64-bit OS or OEMs start manufacturing 64-bit processors, will I still get Os updates on the N5?:confused:

After seeing Google's policy towards the Galaxy Nexus which missed out on the 4.4 update, I'm kinda scared that even the N5 might become obsolete within a year and a half. :(

If I buy the N5 I would want to continue using it at least for the next four years or so....:p

Considering all of this, should I still buy the N5? (or wait another year and buy some other phone to use for a year?):confused:

If google actually releases nexus 5 here then yeah you will be able to get service here with payment. But if you manage to do something wrong with your nexus 5 before it releases here, you won't get any service whatsoever, even with payment no official LG person will service for you.

You don't have to worry at all. Your phone will receive up to 18 months from Google no matter what. After 18 months say all OEMS are following 64 bit, you have the xda where the future versions are built from source. Right now some developers are building KitKat ROMs for galaxy nexus.

Dilemma!

Nexus 5 Vs HTC One Vs LG G2

Making a trade off is becoming very difficult. The more I dwell on it. The more confused I get. Can you guys please help me out here?

Here is my expectation or usage parttern for an Smartphone

Usage Pattern/Expectation (For a Day)

- Wi-fi -> 4 Hours

- Phone Calls -> 1 Hour

- Chat Applications -> Running in the Background most of the time (whatsapp, fb, imo et cetera)

- Gaming -> 2 Hours (FIFA 14, Asphalt 8 et cetera)

I mention the points for each of them which I feel is unique to them that I like followed by their cons.

Nexus 5

Pros

- Instantaneous OS Updates

- Unbeatable Price (for top end specs)

- Good Screen Size { I say good because 4.7" is perfect for me and this phone has a 4.95", Don't want phone greater than 5"}

Cons

- Battery { Official Site says 8.5 hours on wi-fi alone, 3-4 Day users review of nexus 5 has the battery giving a screen time of 4 hours. This is a big concern}

- No Stereo Speakers/Sound Quality

- Delay in Release in India [ if I had to import it from elsewhere, what will happen to the warranty if anything happens to the phone? ]

- Dead Pixels in some of the Phones

HTC One

Pros

- The Best Build Phone in Business

- Boom Sound, Front facing Speakers, Beats Audio. Enough Said

- 4.7" Inch Full HD Screen, Absolutely perfect size

Cons

- Delayed OS Updates

- 4 'Ultrapixel' Camera, Pinkish Tint issues with it

- Availability in India [ Single Sim variant 801e is not available in India Since July '13 ]

- Fluctuating Price. A little on the higher side.[comparatively]

- Battery Again [2300 mAh is not enough]

LG G2

Pros

- Battery. 3000 mAh Beast

- Brilliant Performance (Specs)

Cons

- Screen Size [ 5.2" is too huge for me to handle. And it is a major turn off that I cannot get used to ]

- Price. Slightly on the higher side [comparatively]

Warranty Questions (if Imported)

- I know HTC One has an International Warranty which again is being refuted in many Service Centers in India. Is this the case?

- Will Nexus 5 Imported (Which I think will be the case most likely) have a valid warranty in India?

It would be of great help If you guys could help me in making this choice. My current phone is conking out. And I cannot change phones frequently hence the need to decide with more caution

Anyone who ordered from Play Store (US) and go it shipped to India with a service?

How much in total did it cost ??
[Nexus 5 General] saiprasan:
I Personally use Htc one, and i am shifting to n5 because nexus is a nexus, although i converted my one to gpe i don't get that feel from a device i agree sound is a major point where it wins over any other device released at present i have pink tint issue, its a US phone and service centre guys was asking money for it, although my friend nexus 4 who got it from US also had to pay for the charges in India because international warranty is never considered in India either samsung htc or lg. I prefer n5 because its stock and u get updates as soon as it is released and for the ois camera and the price it's selling in US leaving aside some availability issues, its a bang for a buck, completely worth for money and u will never regret it because of its developer support and updates to nexus whereas in htc it's not the case and considering LG G2 it's pretty decent device with similar specs except the camera and heavily :eek: skinned OS and moreover i never had a experience of an update from LG, it just prefers telling users that a phone is released optimising all the features and to be stable and an update will ruin it's smoothness god knows how an update will slow down the experience while update is meant to be perfect simply it's incapable in providing updates! After All it's ur choice n5 which costs way more less with same specs is a sweet device to get ur hands on!!

:good: if u like it....

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

I am also waiting for any one who ordered i have my relatives who can ship it from there but the shipping costs customs matter me the most :( I have my uncle coming from US in next 2 weeks but play store lists it ships after 2 to 3 weeks so bad luck he can't get it as his use phone which saves me money and customs taxes and **** :D no luck have to ship it if it receives after my uncle started :mad::(

No offense meant. Just to clarify :)

Yes I know that xda will always be there :D. But if the next nexus (say) switches over to a 64-bit processor and runs a 64-bit version of Android OS, wouldn't my N5 become incompatible with the new OS? :confused:

Anyways, I seem to have made up my mind. It's an awesome specced phone at a quite not-so-bad price. :D:good:

Will buy it.Just hoping my Parents permit me to have it (else they'll simply REJECT it looking at the price itself and kick me out if I stay stubborn :laugh::p)

Though my decision to use it for quite a few years might work in my favor :D;)

Thanks in advance for taking the pain to answer all my n00b-like Qs :silly: :D:good::highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
If you don't care about OS updates, I say go for LG G2 no less. G2 has ofc a better camera, bigger screen, and the skin isn't really much heavy when compared to touchwiz. Reviews of it is getting better and better everyday and people haven't even complained for it's build quality (as it's plastic) I would have gone for G2 if Nexus 5 wasn't available right now but I like the OS Updates faster hence nexus 5. I don't care for camera and smaller the screen, the better for me and 4.95" (considering the onscreen buttons) it's perfect for me. I just find one flaw on nexus 5 and that's stereo speakers :(
