I don't think having bought it from the Play Store should make any difference when you're paying to purchase it.

If it's really just 180/- and not a typo of some sort, I'll gladly give my Spigen back case away and buy a new back cover every month.

With very warm regards and may peace be upon you,

Hous Bin Pharteen.

Dinar .. 180 Dinar.. So that comes out to Rs (180 * 215) = Rs 38700.. So 38.7k for the plastic back cover.. Not a bad deal eh..
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
great! :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
But seriously.. God bless LG for such a reasonable pricing of the components.. 7k for a Full HD 5 inch display is really good.. And the back cover at just Rs 180.. U cant beat this pricing..

I have or rather had a Nexus 7(2012).. Dropped it and the screen cracked.. LCD inside is perfect though.. The Guy at Asus service center told me that the cost is 9500..I mean the price of the new tablet is 10k and for screen alone they are charging 9.5k.. Dafaq.. So I won't be getting it fixed now.. Complete loss :( .. F**k Asus..

In USA and other countries its simple you don't like the color of ur phone return in 15 days get refund and order the device u like.

I don't understand why that can't happen in India companies always misuse India is it because they think Indians are stupid or that they treat us like second hand citizens either way this has to stop as we pay more for every product as its costly when compared to other countries but the service is worst either way this has to stop govt. Of India should take appropriate steps to protect consumers and consumers should boycott until we get proper treatment please share what you feel.

nexus 5 battery future

From last few day I have been woried about my nexus 5 battery. Since I have been charging my mobile 1 or 2 times a day and considering 500 life cycle of the battery the nexus 5 battery will need to be replace at end of year maybe even early. Same thing happened with my HTC mobile whose battery died after 2 years but luckily it was removable battery but than I was not able to find a genuine battery and the oem battery available on ebay lasted only few weeks. Please friend's comment on this issue.

Do you have any source.

[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Not on N4... got both cams.. :D
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
First of all Nexus 5 has a Li-Po battery and that website doesn't look like a good source to me.

Official wiki says Li-Po batteries have >1000 cycles in them before they start showing signs on wear. So I'm pretty sure the Nexus 5's battery will last us at least 2 years if not more!
[Nexus 5 General] nexus_18:
Yeah with daily charge you might get 2 years juice out of it.
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
But still what after 2 years and from where to get the genuine battery after 2 year

---------- Post added at 07:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Also can we RMA nexus 5 by saying that the battery life has decreased or any other reason
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
After 2 years, the battery might slowly start having problems like discharging too quickly and slow charging and all of this may or may not occur with your battery.

You can get a new battery from the LG Service center and it will cost you about Rs. 1000-1500. If you order it online, you can even get a sweeter deal!

Dude, the life cycle of our Nexus 5's battery won't affected within a year. So, there's no question of RMA'ing it. However, If you do face any problems with your battery within a year, you can RMA it.
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
Are you sure about the price because on eBay it show for 1500-2000 and I am sure that those duplicate one because I have use those OEM battery from eBay on my HTC they didn't las t much.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Mannn why are focusing so much about a thing which may not even happen to you after 2+ years?

How can you be so sure that those are duplicate ones? If you buy from a reputed seller, then you ought to get the original. If you begin to search about replacement battery with a negative mindset then you will never be happy with your purchase.

Then again, all these things may be important after few years, so no need to panic right now.
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
I am not worried because any how after 2 year I get a new phone. But I was just curious about the thing. Thanks for your reply though.
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
Guys i went through some of the pages of this thread, but couldn't actually come to a conclusion for a decent budget case for nexus 5.

Budget is around 500-700rs, less would be good. Had a look at these: Ebay: Nexus-5-Case-Back-Cover-SGP-SPGN-Bumper-Style-Neo-Hybrid-Slim-Armour-Protector-/301141447847 (Can't post url, new user) , i know these are not original, but i think one of the users purchased one like this, what's the review now after using it for sometime? Does NFC work fine?

And is this one good? FLIPKART: /rearth-back-cover-lg-google-nexus-5/p/itmdrfyrpg9dgpvh, was ~750 a while ago, now price increased.. :crying: Any other suggestion?
[Nexus 5 General] bliizzz:
Rearth is for 799(black) 749(white) on amazon and is(amazon fulfilled) so you can buy that without any worries
[Nexus 5 General] :
If you're looking for extreme protection, this is what I recommend. It is more expensive, and adds a bit of bulk, but it's worth it, IMO. The peace of mind I get while I have this on my phone is worth the added heft.

I know it's not within your list of criteria, but it doesn't hurt to look at other options.
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
thanks.. :good:

well, the one you are recommending is the one i quoted in my previous post, SGP from ebay. :confused:

Any other recommendations?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you really want your device protected, go for Spigen Ultra Hybrid with clear back display. This way you can preserve the beauty of the Nexus 5's back logo! If you want new images/graffiti on your back, then there's a thread where people have posted PSD files by which you can insert any image and put it on the back! :D

It's costly (almost double your budget) but it's an one time investment to protect your Rs.30k device and it's not like you're going to change the case every few months.

If you still think it's not worth investing, you should go for the Ringke Fusion with clear back :good:
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
Go for spigen one available on eBay or any other site. I have purchased one and its 99% copy of the original one. And works same. NFC also work but haven't tested wireless charging. Use 200 off on 500 coupon on eBay.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Never buy such products on ebay.in... use ebay.com or aliexpress for cases... Shipping will take few weeks but it's worth the wait! :D

waiting for the product
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Spigen/Nillkin doesn't sell most of their cases "officially" in India. That's why there are many clones of those cases floating around on eBay.in. Many people have bought those cases and then realized that they are almost exact replicas of the original.

Don't know about you but I certainly don't want a replica of the original case just to save a few bucks. I look at it as an one time investment and hence I verify everything before buying.

Whereas on eBay.com all the sellers are from the US / Hong Kong and they buy these original cases in bulk at cheap rates and hence they are able to sell us at those discounted rates. Only problem is the shipping which can take weeks! But as I said earlier, it's worth the wait! :)
[Nexus 5 General] rootSU:
The case looks good, kind of thinking of ordering this now.. :) and congrats for the earphones, though i would have preferred Vsonic VSD1's in that price range, but these are good too.. :good:

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Ordered it few days ago... I guess it will take about 2-3 weeks to get delivered :silly::D

I use my Nexus 5 naked all the time but since I will be going on a trip in the next few months, I thought I'd protect my baby ;)

Edit: Yes, it does look similar to Rearth Ringke Fusion but the Ringke doesn't have a good lip around the bezels to protect the screen, that's why I ordered the Ultra Hybrid.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Ohh.. Ya you better.. Coz one drop and the screen will shatter..

But I hate my Ringke Fusion.. Its a fingerprint magnet.. So the clear back wont do any good coz it will be covered in fingerprints all the time..

Now I am thinking of getting a white battery cover for 180 bucks.. That color will pop out for sure from the clear back..
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes, everything has their pros and cons. It's a real shame that the screen shatters so easily... If you look at the screen damage thread in the General forum, the screen has shattered a lot even after low drops :rolleyes:

[Nexus 5 General] :
I got really lucky with my phone I was on my way back from work with my earphones on and the cord got snagged on another guys hand, my phone flew out of my pocket and landed on a rock screen side down! I had a mini heart attack and didn't want to lift it to check the damage. Fortunately it only had the tiniest scratch(less than.5 mm) on the bezel. After that incident I put on a really sturdy case and scratch guard.

Hah, yeah, he's very chubby. Built like a tank, though, and the stand at the back helps a lot more than you'd think.

Just a random thought though... Will the warranty be anyway affected? Since my device will be registered under black 32gb D821 and they find I have a red cover?

I know that LG replaces the cover by themselves so it shouldn't be a problem but is this a legit deal or under the counter selling of these back covers?

I remember HTC Service centers used to do the same thing.. Sell batteries from RMA'd devices for cheap... That was in no way legal... I don't know how they don't get caught.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
[emoji14]

Ya warranty will be valid..it's just the back cover and u r getting it done from LG itself.. U will be getting an invoice for the same.. N u can replace the back cover yourself.. Its very easy.. So when u carry in your device just put ur original battery cover on.. Here is a video :

http://goo.gl/pE8o0v
[Nexus 5 General] :
Does LG also replace with red covers? If that's the case, I might need to go to 2 different centers :D

Edit: Also, do they replace it with original back covers? Meaning do the back covers they install have all the bits and gadgets that come with it? All the antennas, wireless charging, NFC, etc?
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Any color of the three.. And all this stuff that u r mentioning is built into the battery cover itself.. So that will be there..

I am only guessing though.. Just give them a call and ask regarding all this..
[Nexus 5 General] bliizzz:
They have to provide you with what ever color's at present are available in the nexus 5 if they don't have it available at the service center they will ask you to place a order. If they give absurd answers just call the toll free number of lg customer support that will sort your issue for sure.
[Nexus 5 General] :
What wireless chargers are you guys using? I'm looking for something cheap. The Nokia one is pretty expensive, and the base too small to lay the entire phone on.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
I don't use one.. Truth is that I hate them..I mean i will have to place my phone on the charger plate which is attached to the wall socket via a cable..

So what's the point of a wireless charger.. The only difference is that u wont have to plug a cord into your phone..thats it..

N the biggest con is that the charging speed is gonna be slow via a wireless charger..

N then the cost is high.. I mean why would anyone buy it..
[Nexus 5 General] :
I'm assuming it reduces wear and tear of the microUSB port. Not that it handles anything else, though, tbh.

It's just cool. :p
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
U can buy atleast 4 new Micro USB ports from LG for the price of 1 wireless charger.. Now that's hot [emoji13]
