Get a power bank dude. Heard of it? Portable charger? Available as low as 1000-1500 if that's your main worry. Even the battery of my brother's 5S doesn't last more than 12-15 hrs at max. With moderate use, you can get about 3 - 4 hrs screen time with stock kernel and with franco or others, it can go as high as 5 hrs. It totally depends on an individual's use. On light use the phone has lasted me over 2 days with 3 hrs screen time. Most of people who have gone in for Nexus 5 here are the ones who rate fast updates to Android as their top priority. If you can live with a wait time of min. 6-8 months for LG or other's updating their devices, its your call.

rma process

hi got a nexus 5 on 3 feb unfortunately i dropped it yesterday there's a small scratch on the front, however phone is working fine, i have a question can i request an rma by giving a reason like phone hangs, will i get a new device or my rma will get rejected
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Nope. You won't. The people over at Google aren't fools you know!

If they indeed find it to be lagging, They will first reflash the stock rom or just replace the mobo and send you the device back!

Hi guys

a quick question should i upgrade to nexus 5 from galaxy s4 ? i m getting good resell price of my galaxy s4.

what are the advantages and disadvantages of nexus 5 over galaxy s4.
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well the phone will do fine as per your usage and if you have headed over to xda then who cares being stock but all said stock ROM has almost 5 hours on screen and works great you can just root and stop worrying abt warranty do you think lg kept the option open to unblock bootloader and stuff and still we can revert back,where Samsung fails now with Knox and its time for Samsung to loose market enough of crap from them,just root and gravitybox will give you the needed customisation if u want to stay stock orelse just proceed one way ahead and install custom recovery and enjoy everything possible made for nexus5.

Its just the beginning to raw power if you still worried about battery then g2 is your way to go but then keep waiting and missing all the fun and latest update and a thread with great dev and more to roll in and best support I must say.

Now its time to bang the hammer and stop thinking go for it what you feel is good for you.And if you decide to get nexus just be sure its from the latest batch I mean just check import date from jan2014 and hence and rather pay few bucks and buy it from retail store checking the batch date instead buying online and saving just 500 to1k and a 32gb a must for future benefits as you gonna use it for few years
[Nexus 5 General] gkhanna5:
Google play doesn't have any repair service they simply replace the device so no question of changing mobo or reflashing ROM my question was would they notice the small scratch and due to that reject rma , any help from people who have done RMA will be appreciated thanks in advance
[Nexus 5 General] exynoss:
Hi i am thinking to buy nexus 5. what u means buy check the date jan2014 ? old devices are faulty ?
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
Yeah even I an curious this is my second N5, I sold my first N5 after using it for few days, got my first N5 as gift and did not had any requirement but just bought a new one from a local store before 2 days and mfg date is Jan 2014

What is the issue with the earlier ones?
[Nexus 5 General] dkv2222:
Is the n5 available in stores?
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
There were no major issues with the first lot, but some people complained that the power button and volume buttons rattled a bit & looked a bit loose. Google also gave a clarification that they were fixed deep inside. But that was in the very first batch of phones that were manufactured n shipped in Nov 2013. If u used a case, you would never know. The camera had a problem in getting auto focus which was set right in the Android 4.4.2 update (not a h/w issue). Now it works great. Also, after the first lot, the new lots of Nexus 5 have bit sturdy power n volume buttons and slightly larger speaker grill holes and you get Android 4.4.2 out of the box.

FYI : First lot which had issues was with serial number 309 and 310k. I have 312k which was manufactured in Dec 2013 and is a newer/revamped model of N5. Now ur getting 401k or above in stores which is Jan 2014 manufacturing. It doesn't mean that Google/LG modify the device in each revision of serial number, just the numbering of production lots. Phone design was slightly altered only once keeping the rattle problem in mind.

Hope the above info is helpful. Go ahead n enjoy the Nexus experience. Cheers..!!!
[Nexus 5 General] exynoss:
Yes it is available in stores like Croma
[Nexus 5 General] tiru.adi13:
Right now the Nexus 5 battery life is putting me off. I game on my phone quite a bit but even without that, with just WiFi, whatsapp, Google now, a LOT of music and camera usage will I be able to see 5hrs of sot? Cause I'm leaning towards the note 3 and I'm sure that's achievable with the note 3.

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
People choose the Nexus 5 because they like quick google updates and want to enjoy a pure vanilla android experience and off course because of the excellent dev support for the N5 here at XDA! If the previous points don't appeal you, may be the Nexus 5 isn't the best fit for you.

Lots of Gaming, google now and music isn't going to give 5+ hours screen on time on the N5. May be it's achievable if you use custom roms and under-volt the device.

Note 3 wins hands down if you compare these 2 devices in regards to their battery life. However, in other categories like updates, design, dev support, UI etc.

There are lots of pocket friendly portable chargers, wireless chargers and power banks available, so the battery shortcoming of the nexus 5 can be overcome by this! :)
[Nexus 5 General] M4ximum:
How do you find the batch no?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you're getting a good price for the s4 then hell yeah! Go for it! Better dev support, better updates, better design/UI... N5 beats s4 almost everywhere! :D

---------- Post added at 05:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:49 PM ----------

Check the bottom part of your Nexus 5's Box. The first 3 digits beside S/N is the batch no. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] dkv2222:
Ty :)
[Nexus 5 General] lead3r1:
People here complaining about different hardware revisions must understand that nexus 5 was always perfect the so called far people complain are a result of poor quality control at mfg end so basically u can have a n5 of the 310batch (october13) and have no button rattling or dead pixels larger speaker holes etc or u can 401k jan14 device and still end up having problems coz the so called bigger holed n tighter buttoned n5 is not a actual hardware revision just a result of manufacturing tolerances u see all nex5's can't b same .

So all I say is this people go ahead and buy the fone without comparing batch nos its just subjective. I have a 401k fone n it still has small speaker holes and power rattle a bit(I don't mind the rattle I use spigen slim armour problem solved :)) n my dad bought a 311k n he has no problem so its Russian roulette u hit or miss but then there is always RMA so go and enjoy this beast without worrying about its faults and shortcomings. Have a nice day.

P.S. there is a thread in this forum by rootSU that tackles this problem much better here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2597276

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Heh, u sound like u work for google.

I rma'ed 2 phones. One was dropped and back came out. And 2nd one had scratch on the front. Gave both back to Google and told the reason it heats up and button rattle and dead pixel. Got new phones both times. That too in 2 days. So please don't talk like u work for google or something.
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
You know they will exchange it and I doubt they even check the devices which are send back to them but it would not be nice....u r making a mistake why should google pay for it, u should be carefull about ur device and think what would happen if everyone starts sending their devices back for such small reasons and their mistakes.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Had nothing to lose, so yeah,whatever.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
My cousin's rma for rejected because of a cracked screen! They just sent the device back saying that it's damaged because of the fall..

So yeah! They do check the phones before they issue new / refurbished ones!

May be you were just plain lucky that you got a change of device.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I was lucky twice?yeah right. Probably ur cousin was unlucky.
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Obv they must have open the box to check the accessories and if the phone is there or not and if the screen is cracked completely they will send it back.

There is a diff b/w a scratced and cracked screen
[Nexus 5 General] gkhanna5:
I called Google for rma telling them my phone hangs (though my real reason being a scratch on phone) they told me that after they receive the device their technical expert will try to solve the problem if he is not able to resolve they will send a replacement, to me it seems to be a bluff what is your take should I take the risk of sending in the device
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
Just remember, there are definitely chances of you getting a refurbished device, maybe even an older lot number like 310k which had smaller speaker holes. The button rattle would have been fixed on them. If you read this thread few pages back, many people have complained of receiving refurbished devices and the boxes also had double tape seal on them. So it's a risk if there's no major problem in the phone.

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Don't just tell them one reason. Tell them several. Button rattle, check your display for even a single dead pixel, tell them your phone heats up, you have yellowish screen(if they say it's like that, tell them you compared your screen with a friend who has n5 and his wasn't like that). And surely send them the device, 99% of the times you will get a new device.

I have RMA'ed 3 times. First I got a 310k model and then 312k and my newest is of 401k. Never got any old manufacturing date model or refurbished. But then again seeing many people complain they got old phones, may be I was just lucky. Or may be I rma'ed only that time when the phone was in high demand so they only had new stock to send it to me.
[Nexus 5 General] gkhanna5:
thank buddy, i already have put in a rma request for hanging reason, so should i call them and tell more reasons? and how many days it took you to get a new device after placing in the rma request? and should i just put the phone in original box or bubble wrap it on outside? appreciate your reply
[Nexus 5 General] dkv2222:
Um, no.

I decided on buying the n5.

But thanks anyway. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Best choice u ever made. Just enjoy the development for nexus 5 that is going on, i'm loving it.

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:09 PM ----------

yeah give them a call or mail them. Then if they send you your old device back saying hanging problem is no longer there, u can say u did notify google by email that u had more reasons but not just one.

The only delay is by bluedrat(or whatever u had your shipping from) to call you. After they pick your device, it's max 2 days of wait. Yes put it in original box with bubble wrap and pack it with cello tape all around it. If u r skeptic about it, tell the same to blueddart guy who picks up your phone and ask him if the packing is proper. These people are awesome and so is google.
[Nexus 5 General] crimsonedge03:
I'm planning to buy a N5 next month and I'm a little confused about where to buy it from. I've read somewhere on the internet that devices from Google Play are older and/or tend to be refurbished devices. Is this true? :confused:

Credit card, EMI, etc. isn't an issue, so should I order from Google, Flipkart or buy it at a retail store? Also, stores in my area either don't have the N5 in stock or have it in black/16gb.

That's why I chose the nexus 4 over the note 2 :P

Even with the nexus 4 I've rooted and tried a number of ROMs, sticking to PA or Slim usually. Battery life is still dismal though. I'm still not sure about buying a note 3 because if how hard it is to root it. But I guess the expandable storage and removable battery sold it for me. I do have a sony 5000 mah power bank but it does heat up quite a bit. Not exactly very convenient. Thanks anyway :)

If u r from Delhi then u can buy from Gaffar market itself..

That being said I would advise u to stay away from this case..it makes the phone way too bulky and heavy ..I used it for like 10 days and then took it off..

I would suggest that either go for Ringke Fusion or a skin..I have a skin from SW on now and it looks and feels amazing..and n bulk or weight too..
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
Loved the skin that u selected but what about the protection in case of a fall. Don't think it provides any kind of support in that regard?
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
The fact is I accidentally dropped my phone this morning only..and that too on a hard bathroom floor from waste height approx.. Nothing..its still perfect :D ..the skin is good and is not super thin..so it would protect from minor drops and this has been stated on SW website ..

Do you really need a reason the processor power and gpu does it all in case of nexus 5,if you are a music lover be ready to be blown away by the headphone sound yeah not with the lg earplug ofcourse,1080p display,a better camera compared to nexus 4 the only place where both are compared similiar is the battery life n not to forget wireless charging support to though not used by many,and even 2gb ddr3 ram boost it further comparing to ddr2

Its really an upgrade considered from nexus 4 and a good one orelse wait for the next nexus till october where definitely hoping for a better camera,more ram and better battery n much more

For saving 2000 bucks u are buying a US import ..losing out on warranty and cannot be RMAed either if u happen to discover a problem right out if the box..

Using coupon I'm getting another 2500 off.

The seller has only 6 reviews that's why I was asking.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Hmm..still not sure about your decision.. But you can check the reviews of the seller.. i mean if they are N5 related reviews (if he has sold any before) ..otherwise it will be better to find another seller..
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Just don't!! Please! DON'T BUY IT!! :mad:

It's just a difference of 2000-3000... If you face any hardware faults within a year, you will have to spend a lot on the repairs.

If you were getting it at say about 24k, then it would have been a good deal...
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
Warranty vs no warranty. You pay 4500 more but get mental satisfaction and replacement warranty from Google Play store for entire year. This is if the device from the seller is genuine.

Seller clearly says, Returns not accepted. So if ur device is faulty, you lose out on 25k or go to LG service center and pay for repairs and use a repaired handset. Worth the risk ? Your call.
[Nexus 5 General] Conceptunlimited:
Okay. Now second question is whether I should order from Play Store @28999/- or The Mobile Store [MENTION=2441105]299[/MENTION]99/-???
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you order it from the playstore, you will have to send it to google for repairs/rma... Whereas if you buy elsewhere, LG will take care of your warranty.

I ordered my N5 from Croma and took an additional 1 year warranty...

It's really upto you to decide! ;)
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Both are fair enough to buy just check the batch date is from jan 2014 and upward in case of mobilestore and in my point retail store will be better just pay n njoy ur device incase of playstore u have the waiting time plus incase if defects u need to wait for rma procedure so better retail store u can get it for 28500 on cash though i bought mine at 33500 with interest for 18 months emi as they punched a s4 on my credit card though an authentic bill for nexus5 was provided so in my case it was a win win situation

Also shall I buy the white one it looks better but I'm worried about it getting discolored coz of Indian conditions.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Usually at a retail outlet, they charge you 1k extra... But since it's a LG one, it's certainly genuine :p

It's a personal choice really... The panda theme of white nexus may be appealing to the eye but it doesn't have a premium finish like the black ones... Again, it's a personal choice..

However, one things certain that the white model is slippery because it's made of different material...

Don't worry about discoloring.. I've owned a white HTC One X for a year before this beast and it hadn't discolored one bit! :)
