Similar situation here. Ordered on 22nd Nov at 1 AM and no shipping yet. It should ship today itself as its a last day of period committed by Google. I have started feeling anxious! I though Google will most probably ship it before 29th as happened with many people.

How to check for dead pixel ?
[Nexus 5 General] cooldash87:
use this app on your phone

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ujacha.deadpixel&hl=en
[Nexus 5 General] netcitizen:
okay. but how to test it in the shop before buying?

also it just changes colors in background. one has to keep glaring at the screen to check eh. isnt there a better way or automated way to avoid manual errors ?
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
There cant be an automated way. You'll have to keep glaring at the screen only.

Ordered 2 N5's black 32 gb on the 20th from google play store. Went through the same ordeal .. Contacted support who were clueless till first few days and never replied. Finally got to know that a new tracking number from aramex is generated since bluedarts page never found the earlier number or their customer suppert had any clue regarding it. To top it i had by mistake quoted a wrong pin code so it further got delayed by arames. Fianally today its out for delivery..so would be having it any moment now. So guys basically it was a problem from googles end ( shipper) and specially for people who ordered 2 devices and were based in north india ( delhi)

Those who have not received their devices and not contacted support, please do so at the earliest so that atleast they have a new tracking id to follow up on the new courier and contact them for any special instructions be it personal pickup. Status or whrong addresss pin etc
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
Play Store is better then Retailer

No dude , you were LUCKY and a lone case :good:

Definitely the local store won't replace the device instantaneously , they will just point towards the LG Service center ,

they say ones the Packaging Seal is broken the device along any defect belongs to you .

So i think Play Store is a better option any time cause of the RMA process also you save 1k :victory:

I'm totally in love with nexus 5 ....the battery drain during standby is impressive!...just 3% over night !
[Nexus 5 General] nickee007:
May i know the contact number for google support.

I placed the order on 25th and my amount got deducted at the same moment instead the mail said that "You will not be charged until your order has been shipped."

As for the Order status it is still showing: Pending , and in Play store it is saying "Dispatched from warehouse on

29/11/2013". I raised a ticket on google support for same on 26 Nov. Still waiting for there reply.

Is something fishy going on here ?
[Nexus 5 General] yuva91:
Backordered

Jus now mailed google and asked for the shipping details and the reply i got tells that my order has been backordered due to high demand....but i ordered it on 21th itself:crying:

Anyone facing this situation
[Nexus 5 General] rakesh595160:

[Nexus 5 General] redflar3:
sry about that bro.. hope you get your's very soon.

I ordered on 21st evening. They said "Leaves warehouse on 11/29/13". Got a mail from my credit card company today saying Google has deducted the amount. Still the status of shipping shows Pending. So, I mailed them and I'm happy to know that its being shipped.

"I see that your order has been processed and given to the shipper where it is currently prepared to ship out. "

how u got for 29k from retailer. in my town they selling it at 30k
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Oh. That's disappointing. I fear if I am in same boat. But I called Google play support just a few minutes back and they are saying that your order will be shipped by today itself. Its not backordered for you etc, its for those who ordered later etc.

I hope they stick to their words however I am not very hopeful because the day is almost about to end. In fact working hours are ending in quite a few minutes from now.
[Nexus 5 General] getmmg:
Getting around 14-15 hours from 100% to 2%. Not sure about the Stock ROM performance though I have flashed the ROM immediately after basic checks.

I am using stock kernel.
[Nexus 5 General] Web_E:
Try franko kernel. Excellent battery backup. I have not tested any custom rom yet.
[Nexus 5 General] ams1576:

[Nexus 5 General] yrgt:
Just had a word with Play store India Support. I told them it's already end of the day and you haven't shipped my order yet. That guy assured me that order will be processed and dispatched today itself in any circumstances.

Let's see what happens. Will keep you updated.

In search of N5 i fell in love with G2 the phone is super cool with a fantastic specs.

what do you guys suggest.

only two things are bothering me:

1. the ugly back button in the back and

2. LG has no resale value no matter how good the phone is. (N5 is google's technically :P)
[Nexus 5 General] :
Lg g2 is good if you can spend money on it. Good camera and battery. Only issue is back buttons. If we keep it out pockets of trousers and travel everyday by crowded trains, it's going to be pressed everytime
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
So I dropped my phone today... :( Long story how it fell , but here's something interesting. It fell from like 3ft above the ground and fell ahead 4ft ahead of me. Sound was there yes, but the phone survived, no issues with screen, no scratches nothing! But... the back from the top came out slightly. I gave some pressure so it goes back inside, 98% of back did go inside no problems and just the one corner is slightly out for now. I have tried to get it inside but probably there's some problem. I will go to LG's Service center soon. just wanted to give the update. Was sad for few hrs that this happened, but all cool now. it survived, we have a winner here. :D
[Nexus 5 General] Sparx75:
Y U No have a case. Going Naked is not the way lol.

I got my n5 32gb just now and i find it is 310 serial number from october. I have yet to check for dead pixel. Are all those having dead pixel issues?

It is updating all the google apps as i logged into wifi.
[Nexus 5 General] jetzstream:
Same answer was given to me. Still no mail on the order shipping. :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Yup. Well I gotta move to jammu for some days and then get back here.If I order the case now , I won't be available here in HR. And I don't have exact number of days for my stay in jammu. So, will order one in couple of weeks max.

Refund Help

what is the procedure for cancelling and asking google for a refund after oreder has been shipped?

-Thanking evry1 in advance
[Nexus 5 General] vinod.20r:
What about those who purchased from ebay? From empiretronix. Did you guys eventually get your phone? Or did you have to cancel the order? I bought the 16GB from him.. It was shipped with delay due to the courier service
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
order on Google Play has shipped

I got an email saying my order on Google Play has been shipped along with tracking number , also the tracking number is not activate right now .

Now what does this conclude is the order really shipped and on the way or like someone posted it says differently on the play store and gets delayed be 8 - 9 days . :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] jetzstream:
It will take some time for the tracking number to reflect on the courier service. Usually happens in 24hrs from the shipment dispatch. Bluedart is more reliable and faster than the others.

When did you place your order? and for what version?

I'm was given 29th as the expected shipment date for my order placed on the 24th. Black 32GB version. Still have not received an update on shipping though. Google Play reps have said it should ship by end of day. It's 2245 n no mail, so I have no idea what the end of day for Google means.. :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
updates?

also worried about future updates from google.. is LG delivering latest updates promptly. ??
[Nexus 5 General] yuva91:
They told me the same bro...donno wen its gonna happen:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
Shipping to be done by Bluedart :fingers-crossed: , i placed my order yesterday around 11 :p .

Ordered a StormTrooper ( Definitely an eye candy ) 32gig .

[Nexus 5 General] Sparx75:
Do they have 32GB? Did they say when it'll come?
[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
All shops gives replacement..

But not after we went out of shop..

If person gets faulty phone infront of dealer after seal opened then no problem.. its law.. dealer have to replace.. because if device gets faulty from stock and customer noticed in presence of dealer then thy can replace and its not dealer lost.. they will replace from company distributer..

That's why I recommend buying from local.

My mistake was I didn't checked for pixel bought in hurry lol..

5 month ago when I was buying Xperia z I got atm 3 device replaced from sony center local shops.

No waiting like Google for 15 days of buying then 15 days of replace of pixel = 1 month.. u can get pixel again after Google replace then again 15 days.. lol

Just buying from local on one minute choose perfect device...

I didn't paid lg 1k thy refunding me.. at free charge
[Nexus 5 General] ashis.kyal:
No 32gb.

But they said that It may come after 2-3 day.

I have been quoted 32600 For 32gb in My hometown.

32gb white color and It will reach by 2dec
[Nexus 5 General] Terrence Lyngskor:
THANK YOU!!
[Nexus 5 General] Sparx75:
I am in Kolkata too dude. I'll pm you. Need to talk. The wait is driving me crazy.

I got my n5 32gb panda from univercell :)
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
Dude Google is delivering the device in 3-5 days ( 32gig White ) not in 15 , Also may be the Local retailers in my city are IDIOTS they do not follow the LAW of Inside the Shop replacement :( , and i was talking about the 1k difference in price :p .

ANYHOWWW i got it from PLAYSTORE :angel: as 32gig shows no sign of availability any time soon in my city anywhere .
[Nexus 5 General] jetzstream:
So it definitely means that Google has ample white version stocks... slower uptake n less demand for the white version.

They're definitely screwed with the black version 16 & 32.

I'm guessing the idiots have not got their stocks in time for the 29th shipments to be processed and it's most definitely a supply chain fkup :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
Yeah u right but.. I always confirm from dealers "if any chance I get defected peice at buying atm, then u will replace?" They says yea..

If they said we are not responsible..

(Which is against law) then don't buy..

Simple. All do like that and I always do like that... :p
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
The flaw with your assumption here is complexity of today's smartphones. As the smartphones are getting complex, so are the defects in them and there is no way one can know about all possible defects within say 1-2hr of purchase or while you are in front of shopkeeper. Dead pixels can arise after 7-8 days due to abrupt dryness of screen glue, microphone, speaker module may get defective within few hours of usages or it could be dead on arrival but you may never notice in front of shopkeeper. Worst case, your smartphone might stop working totally in first few days. That 15 days RMA policy of Google is not a disadvantage, in fact its a best part about online purchase. You get whole 15 days to know your device for defect if any.

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

Right. They have totally screwed up 32 gigs black model shipments. I had ordered on 22nd and it was suppose to ship by 29th but it didn't even after false promises by Google support team on phone. Kind of unexpected from Google.
[Nexus 5 General] jetzstream:
no ****! in fact i called them twice.. yesterday and today.. and guess what? they blatantly lied!

the guy who took the call on the 28th said repeatedly "Your order is good to go" "I don't see any problem with your order processing"

What a frigin load of crap! 29th i called them.. and from the girls tone of answering, i knew they were just bull****ting... Google must have definitely conveyed operational updates to their call center reps telling them for sure NOT TO COMMIT to any info or update because by then they knew for sure the 29th shipments were not gonna happen.

There was just no point calling them simply because there was no info they could give nor do anything to expedite or prioritise the shipments or even just comment on the order status.

The only crap she said was please call us on Saturday if you dont get an email on the shipping by the "close of business"

I literally felt like telling her instead of using these high funda terms "close of business" ... to please learn HOW TO DO BUSINESS when it comes to handlin nexus device launches in India. Google have been such a frigin letdown with this experience.

I have NEVER waited to buy a phone EVER! even with Apple's launches in India... n I used an Apple for nearly 5 yrs before this... 3G/4/5

Shame on Google. I wonder if they ever bother to use their own analytics tool to understand their own fkups..:laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
Google seems like the BEST OPTION THERE IS .

Dude , THE DEMAND WAS TOO DAMN HIGH :highfive: , Google was at fault sending 5-6 K Devices for a BILLION people :D

That is Smart on your part , but i can't do such thing cause the retailers are DUMB here .:crying:

Bro that was aptly justified , :good: . 15 days RMA policy of Google seems like the BEST OPTION THERE IS .

I hope your device gets delivered soon :highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] Mandeep148:
Dead pixel after few days is 5% chance... i m talking about atm problem solutions while buying..

So.. checking problem at buying and if got stockly defect. So replacement...

broking seal is not much big problem dealer can solve by replacing from distributer..and its legal..

I remember when i bought s4 I seen screen blue tint and replaced atm.

Ans Xperia z has replaced 3 times

I know its hard but not impossible to find.. I check in dark room area.. for dead pixel. Also did for xz..

Anyways..

All is depend on us..
[Nexus 5 General] redflar3:
I followed a link from the order info page in play store (bottom right side - Contact us). There they will ask for catogory etc and will show you a forum to submit your query.

I got the responses from googleplay-support@google.com, you can try sending mail to this id directly also...
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
Google couldn't keep with commited date.

Got email reply to my query about delay in shipping. They have accepted that they can not send my order because of supply issues etc etc despite the prior commitment. Those people at Google are really taking Indians for ride.

Here is email response:

Thank you for contacting Google. It was a pleasure assisting you today. I have went ahead and did a little further more investigating into your order to get a little more information I can share with you! I was able to find that your order is currently on hold for quantity reasons. As soon as we get more inventory at our warehouses to fill your entire order, your order will be sent to the shipper. You will receive an email with a tracking number when the shipper has processed and begun delivery of the package. It was appointed to leave our warehouse on the 29th, which is today for us, but since your order is on hold there will be a little delay because your order is still being processed. Also remember we do only work on a business day policy, Monday through Friday no weekends or holidays.

And as per the mail, they do not work on weekend so no shipping on for next two days at least. But before that, they have no idea when will they get inventory to clear this mess. :mad:

[Nexus 5 General] jetzstream:
See this is the exact BULL**** i was talking about. They knew damn well on Friday itself that this would happen but they CHOSE NOT to tell customers that. Now they say they won't ship on weekends... then I would want to know WHY they didn't bother telling us this before? Instead of committing to fulfill orders by end of day on Friday.

Absolutely pathetic experience with Google. And when you've heard eulogies been written about their work culture and what not... it shocks me that they would have taken a call to continue with their business day policy instead of trying to make ammends with their fukups and work a bit overtime for a couple of weekends to address the situation.

This response and handling by Google amply goes to illustrate the fact they don't give a **** about a market like ours. For that matter I don't think they'd give a **** about the launch anywhere else either.... but if they had an ounce of sincerity in making ammends or rectifying the situation, they would have worked a bit overtime to honor their commitments.

It didn't take a fkng Einstein to know on Friday itself that they had fked up. So I'd love to know what their OH-SO-HIGHLY-PAID management grads sitting in charge of India launch operations for the GN5 was doing and his team down the line to have no safeguards in place in trying to make up time lost for shipments delayed. Instead they're ok to continue lying to customers till the last day and then enjoy a week off.

If so infuriated right now... I could prolly sell the phone as soon as i get it and just go get myself a 5S.. from what I read, Apple has them now in stock.

[Nexus 5 General] :
Bought it from meenova.com it works brilliantly with TWRP and titanium backup. Using stickmount app to mount and un mount it. One issue is that stickmount only supports read/write on fat32 from what I can tell. NTFS and EXFat are read only. Which is fine for me since I don't keep files over 4 gigs on my sd card.
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
32K

It's the Indian version from playstore so indian warranty, received it on Monday so you get whole year warranty
[Nexus 5 General] Vinoth18:
It doesn't require rooting right?
[Nexus 5 General] :
If you don't want to root, you'll have to use an app called "nexus media importer" its a paid app alternatively you could also search the play store for other apps with otg support and read the description for nexus compatability.

If you do root you can use stickmount by chainfire which is free. There is also a paid version which unlocks a few settings.
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
Ohh that is damn frustrating dude.. really.. but let me tell you something. As they didnt stick to your last date you can ask for compensation. they agreed to give me compensation if they dont deliver it within given time frame. one suggestion talk to US support team and say some nonsense things like this isnt expected from google and al for a while and they wil automatically say ok we will give you some compensation.(same happened with me but in my case they delivered it on last date as mentioned so i didnt get anything)

---------- Post added at 11:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Dude i dont have any of the above problem. I ordered 32gb panda from playstore. these all issues were found in US and they rectified some of them before launching in India. power rattelling is there but if you try to find it otherwise no issues. and otheres are just fine.

for Dead pixels overheating and all you can always RMA it (i didnt face any).

Anyway I think this issues are temporary due to the high manufacturing speed lg has to cope up with demand. I will buy in Jan. Hope the issues in new manufactured models.
