Ordered 2 32GB Blacks at 11:27am PST in BC.

I just noticed that my credit card available limit is -$900 (the cost of the two phones)

Normally they don't hit your card until the order is shipping right?

I still see "Leaves warehouse on Nov 8" and "Pending" when looking at the Play Store orders.
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
Yeah, wont be as fast as 2600 (band 7) but it should still be pretty decent.
[Nexus 5 General] matthewr87:
That is a pre-authorization. The charge is not added to your account, but the cost of the product is deducted from your monthly limit to ensure that the funds will be available once they ship and are ready to charge your card.
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
They place an authorization transaction on the card - effectively a hold. As long as an auth is present, it's value is deducted from your available credit. Authorizations are either captured (they become a purchase) or they time out and your credit limit is restored.

everyone is beating me to responses today! :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] rjkboyle:
Ahh makes sense.

I just didn't think that happened before with the Nexus 4, because I remember reading about people complaining their order was placed. Then later when google when to take the money or authorize the card it was declined because of not having limit on their card and it holding up their order.
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
Yes. This is where I've seen Google drop the ball. Instead of capturing the authorization, they create a new purchase which effectively causes twice the transaction amount to be unavailable from your credit. This is particularly frustrating with pre-paid credit cards.
[Nexus 5 General] brar.arsh:
How much would be the difference between the two.. I have HTC One right now, so I just want to know how much will be the speed difference.
[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
There are a lot of factors that will impact network throughput. FWIW band 4 on Rogers averages 12-30Mbps and band 7 hits upwards of 60mbps.

I guess my N5 counts as Canadian. Really though, why is everyone buying theirs from a carrier? I haven't been able to understand the perks, if any, in doing so...

One problem I am having is the lack of cases here. I would order on Amazon.com and get it shipped to Blaine where I can go pick it up, but that's $$$ in fuel. I could order on Amazon.ca but the shipping fees...hella. Instead, I have the 2 TPU cases from Adreama i think and they suck crap. The cutouts are terrible and lint always collects at the edges, so much that I'm afraid it'll scratch the screen.

Any recommendations for cases/screen protectors? Or should I just suck it up and get the Google bumper case and order a screen protector from Amazon?
[Nexus 5 General] Soulfly3:
??? bought a spigen case from amazon... 16$ for the case and my total w shipping came to 20$... that was shipped to niagara
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
I got a Cruzerlite case for $15.44 shipped from Amazon.ca. That's a pretty good price for a great case. Much better than going through google.
[Nexus 5 General] droid_<3er:
Did you get it during the free shipping holiday?
[Nexus 5 General] Soulfly3:
nope. there was an offer for free shipping if I joined prime, but I didnt...

see attachment. got it in 2 business days too
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
I had relatives heading to Detroit around the time my phone was due so I ordered a selection of

good

cases & let family be my mules. Basically this halved the per-case cost, but the holidays have now come between me and my cases. For the interim I ordered a handful of very cheap cases from eBay & Amazon and surprisingly I'm really happy with the dirt-cheap "S-line" tpu case! You can probably find it for $1.99 + cheap shipping.

What's so good? Perfect fit -- can't compare (yet!) to the top-of-line cases, but all the cutouts are bang-on and it's a nice snug fit with no give at all. It snaps on & off with ease, but best of all it feels really good in the hand! The back of the case is mostly a soft-textured matte tpu and is more 'grippy' than the naked (black) phone. The edges have raised grip panels give me a nice secure feeling when handling the phone, yet none of this provides any significant resistance in pulling the phone in or out my pocket. It's not as sexy as the Spigen, and probably provides somewhat less protection, but that's (probably) going to to a fairly small degree. The only negative I have is that it makes the volume rocker very sensitive & it's easy to adjust volume or snap pics! when you don't intend to. But there are countless complaints about other cases having similar issues including uncontrollable power button.

For the record, the S-line was the exception & the other cheapo cases were cheapo crappy.
[Nexus 5 General] dakunclear:
I've been to lazy and I don't want to cover my beautiful white backing but I wouldn't mind a water proof case for underwater trips rather then spending 800 bucks on case for my Nikon
[Nexus 5 General] mymusicathome:
Ordered the spigen neo hybrid before the n5 was even released. Once Google had the oem bumper in stock I ordered it and must say well worth the price. Now the spigen sits in my desk. This is the second oem case I have purchased (s4 was the 1st) and must say I will never go with anything else but oem cases for future phones.

Should I/ Shouldn't I

I got my phone today 4 days earlier than ups said it'd arrive so :victory:

I haven't put a sim in it yet though but I'm planning on signing up with telus. Unfortunately that won't be possible until thursday so I was wondering if it'd be advisable for me to perform any modifications to the phone like rooting and installing xposed framework modules, etc.

I don't want to run into problems with the phone at the telus store so I'd like hear someone's thoughts on what I should do
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
It should not matter when signing up with Telus.

Happy new years eve brothers and sisters of the great white north! I was wondering if anyone has gotten wallet to work here. I had a modifies apk that worked with transactions last year in my Nexus S, but I can't seem to find anything on getting GWallet to work on my N5 in Canada
[Nexus 5 General] RuffusOne:
Just got my new N5. Sure is purdy. But this being my first smart phone, I got a lot of reading to do. So many functions I need to learn how to use.

P.S. How you pull up the gps screen, or do I need an app for that?
[Nexus 5 General] kilometers4:
What do you mean GPS screen? Like the amount of satellites you're connected to? or the location settings.

If it's location settings you're after, go to settings - location.

It you want the satellites, you have to dl a 3rd party app from the play store
[Nexus 5 General] Soulfly3:
For anyone who cares about this sort of thing:

I ordered my N5 a little over a week ago, and received it yesterday (from Google Play)

it was a v311, which surprised me, as I fully expected it to be v312

anyways.... perfect in every way. no rattles, no display issues, nothing. VERY happy... this phone destroys the s3 and s4 I came from
[Nexus 5 General] RuffusOne:
The amount of satellites & location info. When I went to location, it showed me where I was on a map.

Off to look for more apps. Thanks.

Damn there's a lot of apps just for gps.
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
I've found GPS apps to be pretty much useless. Only good for seeing how many sats you're connecting to and other useless info (to me anyway). If you want GPS just for navigation then just use Google Maps, or download Waze.
[Nexus 5 General] RuffusOne:
Thanks, will do

[Nexus 5 General] Mr. Droid:
Hi, I'm buying a sealed nexus 5 tomorrow with no receipt as the owner got it for Christmas. Will Google take 've of the warranty in case I have to rma in the future?

Thanks
[Nexus 5 General] NotFromMountainView:
Looks like I'm too late so I hope I'm wrong, but I do think you'll have trouble with warranty issues. Google warranties the device to the original purchaser & they will accommodate the argument that the device was purchased by another party for you (i.e. a gift, you personally don't use credit cards, etc.) but they'll want to be able to document the original purchase & to pair it with the Gmail address from which the purchase was made. From what you describe you're two or three people away from the original purchaser. Actually, the receipt itself is irrelevant since it's just a Gmail notification. If your seller can provide the purchasing Gmail address, purchaser details - including shipping and billing addresses, and the Google order number you'll probably be able to get someone at Google to declare the phone rightfully yours.

If it's not too late you can always phone Google & ask them if/how you can transfer the warranty in this case.
[Nexus 5 General] Mr. Droid:
Thanks I decided to pass and move to one with a receipt. Thanks

Did/does anyone have their shipping tracking info as "Ready for UPS"? I've had that since the 3rd and there hasn't been any update.

I was charged for the phone when the shipping info was created, just hoping that it already did ship and that it hasn't delayed to the 17th Jan on the play store.

I guess UPS picked the perfect time to be completely incompetent; scheduled delivery was by end of today.
[Nexus 5 General] Dx9:
I was worried about swapping my S4 with 64GB microSD for the 16GB Nexus. I have a ton of music and take lots of pics and videos. Have Google Drive setup for my pics and videos with Folder Sync to upload each day. I then delete off my phone after. I also have Google Music to work and all my songs are in the cloud. I have 15GB a month of data from Rogers and i use WiFi alot also so it's all good here streaming in the Cloud ;)
[Nexus 5 General] etoad:
Looks like I'm going to have to wait till Monday for a package that was supposed to be here on Thursday.

How many people received their devices past the scheduled delivery date? Did anyone get their shipping fee refunded for that? UPS guarantees their time-in-transit, after all.

Shipping from MA and the delay from weird brokerage which shouldn't have happened and should have been delivered by the end of today.
[Nexus 5 General] ChimneyBoy:
I would call UPS and just to be on the safe side.
[Nexus 5 General] SovereigN7:
Thanks and already did before. Was told they have another warehouse at that location which might be the reason for the brokerage delay or perhaps it's the UPS's logistics end.

I just received my Nexus 5 today. In my tracking, there was a same message about the brokerage fee. But there is none--since already paid HST during checkout. It must have been just formality.
[Nexus 5 General] addonelam:
I ordered on Wednesday night, the 8th. I should be receiving it by the end of today, the 14th.

UPS didn't do any shipping over the weekend (why would they, they need rest too right?) so it took "3 days" to get from Detroit to Windsor.

I have a hunch anyone not ordering on Sunday night/Monday morning will get that weekend shaft...

So jelly of you receiving your orders before me. Ordered on Jan 20. Stuck in limbo since the 24th. As UPS lost my pkg. They are "investigating" still to figure out where my pkg is.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
ie, they're checking where the last scan was, and the various holding points (damaged or unlabeled freight) to see if it's that's where it is, after that, then they check to see if one of their employees wandered off with it. Was it put on the wrong trailer, just missed scans, fell under a conveyor system... Everyone gets so upset when their packages go missing (And I understand why) but when you realize that even a small hub will process over 5,000 pieces of freight a day, and most hubs with be 2 or 3 times that volume, even five nines accuracy means that every day or two a package gets delayed, loaded on the wrong trainer, or just misplaced in each hub... And since the freight is sorted manually, five nines is nearly impossible...

Carrier compatibility?

If I buy the nexus 5 from the play store, is it a version which is compatible with all the Canadian carriers? Or do I need to buy a Wind version or a Telus/Bell version, etc. Stupid question I'm sure but I could not find a direct answer in search results... Thanks
