Isnt this a global rollout? Or will it take some time for us to be able to update the device?
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Some N4 users got it already in India.. So was just asking! ;)

[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
The article also mentions that the date for nexus 5's launch is not certain but estimated to be launched on Nov 12. They have also said that the launch could be delayed till the month end according to sources.

Someone in the thread also had mentioned about talking to LG India representative who said that nexus 5 will come to India on Nov 15. Since Google is launching the phone and not LG the information could be false.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Thanks for the source but ... too bad the article is not confirmed yet from Google :(

Actually freaking google wallet is not accepting my debit card (punjab national bank's) so I'll probably use a friend's card. If not, I hope flipkart sells this too or starts pre-orders.

I'm guessing google actually put that "coming soon" so that we people don't buy from US so that they meet the demand for US people easily though they failed (out of stock / late shipping right now for US people) . I'm guessing they will screw us the same as nexus 7 2013 which is comign soon from what ? like 3 months :/
[Nexus 5 General] Harsha Raj:
Yes its quite bulged. That is really bothering. Check the pics here http://www.androidcentral.com/pictures-nexus-5. You can see how prominent the bulge is in 2nd last pic.
[Nexus 5 General] shamps:
I am sure they will not put coming soon if it was 3 months away. I am sure its a matter of couple of weeks and not months.

Cheers!!

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Checked the review of mobilesyrup, they say the bulge is negligible , it's even smaller than the camera bulge of S4. But the tweets of Paul O' Brien , I'm getting worried. Here's what he tweeted 2 times

This is coming from a Nexus fan and not some sammy/apple fan. So that is something no? :(

Nexus 7 is saying "coming soon" from last 3 months mate.
[Nexus 5 General] Dragooon123:
I'm still sceptical if they'll be able to launch it within November, hence why I'm importing it. Regardless, ultimately it'll cost me same/less so no harm if they do manage to release it.
[Nexus 5 General] Harsha Raj:
Here is a video walkthrough if anyone interested [YouTube]e5BBzcWJDjU[/YouTube]

Does he mean like dust on side of the screen..where usually there will be a gap between the screen and the bezel? Kindly post the pics here when he updates in twitter.

And I don't see Nexus 7 2013 in the Indian play store.

You have waited this long, you could wait a few more days till end of Nov lol. At least for the warranty and also importing in bad for country currency :P

Icon change, Easter-egg or Nexus 5??

Hmmm, while going through the Nexus 5 page on Google Play I observed this...

Morning it was with the truck, but now its not there....!! Does this mean that Google was telling us that the Nexus 5 where en route??? :P

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
He is talking about the bottom bezel and the edge of the screen above that bezel I suppose. I'll post if he updates with a pic or anything.

Also, for nexus line, the page was used to be "http://www.google.co.in/nexus" but now it is "http://www.google.co.in/nexus/7/" On the /nexus page it used to be "coming soon" from last 3 months, and now it is showing the price for LTE+3G model. But it still is coming soon :P

haha awesome man! and the price tag "28999" is actually shows "hand" when hover the mouse to it. I'm guessing they are making changes to that ? :laugh: Come on Google just let us buy the freaking thing now!!
[Nexus 5 General] bigbiceps:

btw guys what covers will you be buying? quickcover is out as it's expensive and it has a LG logo on the back.

I'm thinking official bumper and having a hard time b/w choosing red or black one. I'll be going for 16gb black one. Any inputs? that spigen gold case also looks epic.

How much u paid customs for the iphone 5s.. This will give ppl who are importing a better idea of customs
[Nexus 5 General] whosaysjohn:
I had to greese their hands to get it out cheaply, they quoted 8k for it... Paid 4k to the officers and the phone was sent to me in 3 days by post as it was sent through usps from the US... That's 18% that I was asked to pay...

[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
Ohh. Lucky people!

Even I was wondering about the update. Thanks for the info though :D
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Thanks dude. You're unlikely to get your phone day after...it's a Sunday. :) So then Monday it is.

The RMA is valid only for the first 15 days after receipt of the handset. After this period you need to approach the LG service centre. So if you are planning to do a RMA make sure it is within the 1st fortnight.

I don't care what batch it belongs to 310/311 as long as it is defect free. :)

Me neither. It will be a staggered roll out.

You got it for the Nexus 4. No update for the Nexus 5 yet. Just checked.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
that's strange ... ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Not really, you see N5 comes with KK 4.4 out of the box. The Nexus 4 came with JB 4.2. So for the N4 it is an OS upgrade while for the N5 it is an OS update. They will eventually roll it out. Anyways, no N5 owner is in a hurry. There are bigger things to worry about starting with the defects. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
yeah, first batches are always with defects, those peoples who bought from us & imported (just to save some extra K) & found any defect like dead pixel... stupid IMO. :D
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Totally! You get screwed because warranty is always country specific.

There are some people who face issues after getting a handset from the US or EU Google Play store. Poor guys.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
That's why I will recommend everyone don't bother spending 2-3 k extra for warranty as it will be a phone saver in serious h/w defects.. :angel:

Running own N5 thread having N4 is a tuff task man.. need to look in both threads.. :mad:

N5 black on play store India

https://play.google.com/store/devices/details/Nexus_5_32GB_Black?id=nexus_5_black_32gb&hl=en

.....showing nexus 5 black 32GB variant 'Leaves warehouse in 4 - 5 weeks'..and https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/4359025 showing that the article applies to items which are 'in stock'..so shud i place my order now or not..please reply asap..!!:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
If u need it then go ahead.. if u can wait then wait 2-3 months for prices to go down.. :D
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Only if you are willing to wait for up to 1 month (4 weeks) or more (5 weeks). Otherwise wait till they have stocks OR check with your local mobile dealer. Some local guys have the N5 in stock. Otherwise choose the 32GB white handset which is available on Google Play.

That money saved soon turns out to be a bad gamble if your phone develops a hardware problem. Since you started this thread, you should get an N5 now ;)
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
Thanks bro for replying so fast..but price isnt the thing..i am toking that they are saying 'in order to get your orders before christmas..place the order before google shipping holidays that is 16Dec'..but one more thing they said that this funda applies to devices which are 'in stock'..nd N5 page says that 'the device leaves warehouses in 4-5 weeks'..'in stock' term isnt being shown up anywhere..so..placing an order will be a good decision for getting my device before christmas?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Check my reply. 4-5 weeks is over a month. You will NOT get it before Christmas!

You may want to consider the white 32 GB handset and/or enquire with some local dealers.
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
yess..but RMA policy of google is attracting me as there are chances to get faulty N5..:p
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
You can consider buying the white 32G handset. ;) That one should be with you in a matter of 3 days or so. BTW which one do you want? Black or white? It its the former, check with local dealers. If there's no stock then place an order with the Play store...and wait. :)
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
yup..but perhaps the nexus panda is not for me as I am quite messy person..panda will go black due to dust in my room..:P
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Bhai sahab, then you will need to wait for the handset :) But seriously check with a local LG store or dealer. Try your luck. Test the handset BEFORE paying them and leaving the store. Ask for a replacement if there are display defects.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Naa I don't feel N5 as an major upgrade to N4.. also My N4 is just 6 months old.. :cowboy:
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I find the N4 build quality better. I like the glass back & front. My sis-in-law has one.
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
that will be a good option if they allow me to test the device by turning it on to find dead pixels..but I dont think i will be allowed..laat maar k bhg denge LG store waale to.. :p

maybe I should try my luck on local shopkeepers..anywys thanks fr ua suggstns.. :):good:
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Hmm but it's fragile also, need to use case always..

After using N4 I found that I am a Amoled lover & missing my S3. Also found that how much I don't like stock/vanilla android.. So this is also one of reason of mine to not go for N5.

Also MTP mode.. pain in A** to take backup..

Anyways.. I still like tha fact that we get fast updates.. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Tell me about it!! I purchased a Note 3 again coz I found the Nexus 5 screen rather small. The N5 is my backup phone. It's a lovely really svelte handset provided it doesn't have hidden hardware defects. My wife likes it a lot. May give it to her. She currently uses a S3.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
then she will hate N5 .. because she will lose so many S3 touchwiz goodies (I know touch wiz sucks still)

OK pal we should stop here as comparison not allowed in any thread.. ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Akash-GT_I9070:
Wondering the same thing ,, Nexus 4 b4 Nexus 5 :confused:

The owners of Nexus 5, Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 will have to wait for the 56.6 MB update to automatically appear as OTA on their devices. The Android 4.4.1 KitKat update is a phased roll out and will take couple of days to be available to all active Nexus device users.

But you can side-load the update anytime :fingers-crossed: . i personally would prefer OTA :cowboy: .

It's 54Mb update and not 56.6 MB, yea I also prefer to have an OTA but when I see an update for any of my devices....I just can't resist myself from updating it.....lolz
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
This is OT but looks like Google is expected to announce the Nexus 10 shortly. It was to be announced today, so far no news. That'll be a good competitor to the Samsung Tab 10.1 2014.
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
Did you put a note with device about the issue? I asked them and got a reply saying that there is no need to mention anything. What if they aren't able to find out where the dead pixel is?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
No I did not insert a note with the phone. It's not required.

Just give the problem description, including the approx. location of the hot/dead pixel, clearly to the support person when initiating the RMA process.
[Nexus 5 General] fanil123:
worst launch of a phone

This appears to be worst launch of a new phone. I have never seen so many complaints are returning of brand new phones due to manufacturing defects. LG QA/QC is hopeless, not to mention their after sales service.

I think LG has manufactured very less phones, since they were not sure about the response.
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
Just to make sure I have sent a mail stating the location of dead pixel. Now I have to just wait for the call from courier partner.
[Nexus 5 General] snowfire88:
Finally got my 32Gb N5 black from a local dealer who sourced it from another contact! Had to pay a 1000 bucks extra, so final tally was 35k. But after spending a day with it, I don't regret it for a moment. Coming from a Galaxy Ace, this phone is an absolute blast to use. Smooth doesn't even begin to describe the experience this device offers.

The power button rattle is not really an issue. Just spoke to a friend with an N4, his phone rattles when you even tap on it. :P No dead pixels as of now. Gonna apply my gadgetshieldz wet screen protector in a while. Overall, loving this experience. :good:

I am sure,those who are dithering and lambasting this phone will change their minds once they have spent some hands on time with this device. ;)

You paid 2k extra than play store... not worth IMO... :eek:

[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
You mean the RMA period? If yes, it is 15 days. This is for phones purchased thru the Play Store.

For retail stores it depends from store to store. If the store person wishes he can replace the set. But nearly all will send you to a service centre to get it fixed.

Better to buy online via Flipkart etc. They offer a return policy. But you will pay slightly more.
[Nexus 5 General] aksdad:
Does anyone know of a store where N5 is available in Delhi? I want to pick one up today :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
Idk how soon you'll get a reply on the thread. But what you can do is, fetch LG stores no. from LG India website. Call them and ask for availability. That would be quicker IMO. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
afaik "Refund" period is 15 days. Replacement period aka RMA is a whole year from google play store and as well as LG Service centre.
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Return Merchandise Authorisation aka RMA

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Yes, according to the support person I spoke to the return period is 15 days from date of receipt. Return can be for a refund OR a warranty replacement

Return policy - https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2411741?hl=en-IN

Warranty policy - after 15 days you need to refer to the warranty card in your package for further instructions.

https://support.google.com/googleplay/troubleshooter/3070579?rd=1#ts=3070585,3457226

Per the warranty card LG will decide what to do next - repair or replace.
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
I meant the service center policy for replacement. they are telling me 4 days only.
[Nexus 5 General] aksdad:
I spoke to one of them and they said they'll not be getting stock till after 2:30~3PM. And they said I'll be lucky if it doesn't finish from just the pre orders. :crying:

[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
No. If you purchased it from a retail store you have to approach the store and/or the service centre.

That's probably right as per their policy. Play Store policies are different.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
http://goo.gl/fSZ0b

This doesn't make it clear really. I saw some posts few pages back saying "Google's CC say refund period is 15days and replacement is for a year through LG or playstore". I have even seen some posts at reddit saying people have asked for RMA and have managed to replace their other nexus tab's even after 2 months from google play store.

I think 16 gb is enough....you can always replace the movies and games....transfer the captured videos to the laptop....you wont be using that extra 16gb in real life....its wastage of money.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Only refer to Google India page not Reddit and other sites where people give their own experiences based on policies in their countries.

That Google page document is pretty clear to me. I had also spoken to the Support person (when RMAing my phone) who advised that 15 days is the RMA/Exchange/Refund period. Post that LG that takes care of it via their service centres. If you read the warranty card it clearly states that LG will either repair OR replace the handset. So yes, they may also replace it...on the other hand, they may not. It is at their (LG's) discretion.

Actually it was an indian who said something abt 1 year play store rma for indians in this thread some few pages back dude. Also google device page and faq is a mess right now. they have copied most of the content from us play store. So i won't take them seriously. remember the headphones included or not page where it said headphones are not included but they indeed were so....
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I spoke to the customer support person who said it was 15 days as per Google India's policy and the LG service centre thereafter. Make of that whatever you wish.

After my 1st Nexus 5 experience I am just not convinced that the replacement handset will remain trouble free for even a year. I'll be very, very glad if they have a year long RMA policy. Trust me, I am not complaining.:good:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I understand mate. A google support guy told me that there is thing called "advance replacement" for nexus 5 , guess what , there wasn't, so yeah I won't take them very seriously.

btw how was your rma experience? I have seen your posts and you said your new handset which you got just a day back had no issues yes? or did I miss a post of yours?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
There is never an advance replacement for anything in India for a few reasons. One being the low penetration of credit cards and some other characteristics common with us Indians that are best left unsaid in an open forum. :) In the US and elsewhere they will ship you an advance replacement if you have a CC. If you do not return your faulty unit or if it is damaged, accessories missing etc, they will charge it your card.

That said, I really wish they had this facility in this country. But then I grew up in an era where there was zero possibility of RMA for anything and we Indians were forced to buy shoddily made things. So here's hoping that one day it will materialise.

RMA experience was good. I received a replacement 72 hours after the pick up. From my preliminary tests/use the handset seems perfectly ok. But as I said earlier, time will tell. And yes, I too am hopeful it is a 1 year long RMA. I am soooooooooo tempted to buy the Nexus 7.

:highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Nice. I will be doing rma for mine on 10th as I will be back in college. Yours have no power rattle on your newly received rma? I have yet to see a handset without a power rattle problem. My brother has same handset and my "mamu" bought one too. Both of them including mine has power button rattle.

My college friend will be buying nexus 7 in this month 100%. He is still confused whether to go for nexus 7 (for big screen) or nexus 4 (for cellular usage ) as his budget is 22k~
