Delivery confusion is killing me

So it's been more than 30 hours and my tracking number is still not active. I called up Google play support in USA. They said that everything seems to be in order from their end but I should call up the carrier service.(in their defense they were very friendly and asked to call back if I still had problems).I called up gati and gave them the tracking number and they said they have absolutely no idea about my docket number. They can't help at all and I would have to call google only. I called up the Indian Google play service centre,the guy said he would raise my issue to the shipping team and He said that since it's a weekend today, they will probably get back to me on Monday regarding this.

Anybody else had a similar problem with the tracking number, any advice on what I should do?
[Nexus 5 General] Sparx75:
You using either of those? I am also looking for a screen protector, but need one which will retain the screen's original colour and resolution(No pixelations). Imag is a matte type screen protector, and though I like the feel, usually those types don't retain original colour or cause pixelations, You sure both these protectors are good? I'd buy either then. Thanks.
[Nexus 5 General] anmolbedi:
You asked for premium ones, capdase is the one. Imag sure is matte but klia is clear and it's wonderful. Even if you make a mistake while applying, just wash and reapply, it's very neat. I have used both and can vouch for them.

Batch number 312, bought it from Google Play Store n Its first time.

Battery backup is I have to tell is 1 day on 2hrs music, 1 hrs video, 4- 5 hrs usage of Wifi, 2g (Whatsapp, Hangout and FB) with 6-8 hrs of on-screen time. So, I believe thats a good enough battery backup.:)

Also, I would go on to say, with 12-13gb of free space and headsets which are atleast 1-3k bucks if you buy from some other company, its at a superb price tag with practically no lag or issue faced with any of the apps or games. Call quality is pretty good, I don't know why people were complaining all around this thread about poor audio output, atleast in the current batch there is no such issues.

Hope it will help ppl make a decision.

Make sure its not happening bcoz of SIM, my friend got his old sim cut to Micro SIM, but it was kinda loose, so network (Vodafone) used to come and go.

Yo brotha! Remember you gave me the trick Initiated another RMA some days back, bluedart took the phone yesterday and it's waybill number says phone will reach to Google today. But remember last time RMA number used to give me the tracking details of the replacement phone ? well this time, I have the same RMA number which Google gave me this time(idk why, but Google said the RMA number has to be the same of the original phone with it's same IMEI number and date) and now when I go to bluedart's website and go to ref Number, and provide that rma number, it says "Delivered" the same status it had when I got my last replacement phone. What to do , any help ?

OTG Connectors

Hi Friends,

Has anyone purchased any OTG connectors for the nexus 5 ? If, yes, please share the links. I was looking to buy a connector to add USB support for the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] TJKV:
My assumption is that after customs etc it needs to go to the google office/warehouse/distribution center, where they will package it with our address etc and charge our credit/debit cards. Then it will be sent through local couriers to us :D I suppose tomorrow and day after will be a holiday for them. So about when, your guess is as good as mine.
[Nexus 5 General] vipinbp:
I guess the 16gb devices were shipped earlier.. i have seen few more guys getting it at around the same time..
[Nexus 5 General] pranavhooda:
I just noticed that 16gb model was shipped to India on 18th and they started shipping after around 8 days(that is on 26th)...

So now that the 32gb model has reached India, it will take another 8 days to reach us... So i guess we'll be getting them by 4th or 5th jan.

Just a guess btw....
[Nexus 5 General] cyanide911:
So there's definitely no international warranty? How about paid repairs? Will LG at least repair my US play-store Nexus 5 in India?

16gig Nexus 5 is coming out to be 349+20(shipping)+0(Oregon no tax)+20(intl shipping)+20(approx customs) PLUS 1.5% Bank conversion rate. Don't think it's worth the whole hassle. Any comments?
[Nexus 5 General] Xa3ro:
Yea.. you may be right.. it seems to take 8-10days to reach the customers after the batch arrival.. see here..

www[dot]zauba[dot]com/import-lgd821-hs-code[dot]html

32GB batch arrived on 27th Dec.. that means it will be dispatched by 4-5 th of Jan..:)

Btw, yesterday I ordered 32GB black from playstore.. It says the phone will be dispatched on 5th Jan.. Eagerly waiting for the day..:D

---------- Post added at 08:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 AM ----------

Its better if you have some of your friends in US who is coming to India in a few days.. Shipping from US wont worth it, as u stated. For the past 2 weeks, I was trying to get the same from the US thru my friends. But, finally after so much of waiting, I ordered it today from here itself..:o
[Nexus 5 General] vipinbp:
i almost bought from US, and ya.. it's good if a friend is there to get it.. but after seeing so many RMAs and defects i decided i didn't wanna test my luck :P i needed a warranty, got it from India itself..! There's some kinda peace in me that i got warranty for at least a year ! :P

I received my replacement Nx 5 today and its S/N starts from 312K. Is there a way I can find out the hardware version as I don't seem to notice any changes from my previous Nx5 which was 310K series apart from the power and volume rocker which seems to be somewhat stiffer and not as bad as it was in my earlier device .

And can I buy using a debit card?

The price mentioned, 33K, is inclusive of everything.

You cannot buy using debit card. Credit card is required although I think few people have tried their luck with debit card and succeeded.

34k, no shipping charges in India from google play. They only accept credit card at the moment.

Dammit. Got my cracked screen replaced and the new one has yellow tint. Easily noticeable. I immediately noticed it when i got the phone in hand and told it to the lady in charge. She said no its ok. look at pictures. It is not that noticeable in photos but easy to see on white background. Now i came back home and just to test compared it with my nexus 7. XDA forums background is white on 7 but yellowish on the nexus 5. Same when you open contacts or hangouts, anything with white background really.

Have already called the guy and said i will show him its not right and will need to get it replaced again. Another two weeks waits and 7k is already out of my pocket.

Auto Backup.

Anyone knows if there's a setting where you are able to upload only photos and NOT videos in Auto Backup? Video sizes are huge when shot in it's full capacity. Anyone?
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
Not sure about any settings but you can manually transfer all the videos to your computer. Then keep only photos on your device and then back up all the photos.

Pretty time consuming though.

I hope there is a way around with some simple settings.

my question might sound stupid, but i'm new to nexus so am confused.

my phone's screen goes off in a flash every time it goes to sleep. it looks more like what old TV screens used to be.

is this normal or is it an abnormality?
[Nexus 5 General] :
It's perfectly normal. that is the CRT screen off animation. If you dont like it you can turn it off in developer settings.

Settings ==> Developer Options ==> Animator duration Scale ==> Animation off ==> Reboot.

In case Developer options is not showing up in Settings then do this:

Settings ==> About phone ==> Tap build number repeatedly(Similar to how you tap android version for Easter egg) until it says you are now a developer or something like that
[Nexus 5 General] DrZen:
That's a normal and intentionally nostalgic little nod from Android to the TVs of past ;)

Need help asap!!!

GUYS I'VE RUN INTO A HUGE PROBLEM AND NEED HELP ASAP:confused:

I ordered my n5 through Google Play India on 24th dec (actually my sister did it,who's out of town)

The transaction has gone on hold due to some reason. The reason I feel most probable is non-matching "Billing Address".

The address associated with my sister's debit card (as stated by the bank now) is "not legitimate" as she stayed there only temporarily while she got the Debit card.

I have two options left now. Either get this problem sorted out OR add a new payment method (one of my parents' cards)

Now, while this problem seems to be the toughest to solve, I would Like to ask two Questions:

1.Is ICICI Bank's Visa Debit card accepted by Google Play IN? (this is the card my sister has)

2.Which all other banks' DEBIT cards are accepted by Google Play IN? (I have State Bank of India and HDFC's cards at my disposal)

If I'm not able to solve the problem or add another payment method by midnight on 31st i.e. today, the order is going to get cancelled, which is the most likely to happen in my opinion.....If so, I'll simply have to order it again using a working card and wait until Jan end (which I can as I can wait for 1 more month if I've waited for so Long to try and get this phone)

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. AND THANKS IN ADVANCE :)
[Nexus 5 General] Parithosh:
Google+ ate up data!

Faced this alarming issue where Google+ gulped down 225 MB of my 3G monthly data usage (thereby exceeding my limit as I was close to finishing my monthly data limit) and took down 72 rupees of talk-time (excessive data usage). All this within a span of an hour or two!

Now before anyone asks if I had the settings to Wi-Fi only & stuff, yes I totally did! I was on Wi-Fi throughout anyway!!

I had the Auto-Backup on in the morning with the photos & videos getting uploaded to Google+ but the settings were set to Wi-Fi only!

Now I've been searching for a solution over the web. Although I found out that I am not alone with this problem, I haven't been able to find a solution, or perhaps the cause of such behavior by the app.

Any help, folks?

Attaching a screenshot for reference:
[Nexus 5 General] Parithosh:
In the early pages of this thread, I think a few people had managed to order using an ICICI Debit card, I am not sure though.

And as far as I know, Debit cards are not accepted. I have tried my luck with Axis card but in vain.

Otherwise..thanks to Hard Reset for being the last solution for all the common problems..:P
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
I can also confirm that ICICI Visa debit card works. I used it to order N5 but later cancelled order as Google had no inventory in the end of Nov and they kept all orders on hold. My money was refunded immediately by Google as per their email but ICICI took 18 days to add that back in account. No problems in the end though.

So conclusion is ICICI bank debit card (atleast VISA certified) works.

so i am planning to buy a nexus 5..

i am ordering nexus 5 from play store..

but i dont have a credit card, so i am borrowing credit card of a friend..

but is have few questions.

- i read somewhere that on registering credit card on play store, 50 rs is charged and when u delete the card from play store that ammount is refunded.

is it true??

- so suppose if i get a defected piece, and i want to replace it... is it necessary that the credit card i used while purchasing nexus 5 is still linked to play store??

can i remove credit card from my wallet after ordering the nexus 5 ??

please reply me and suggest what should i do and what should i not do ??

edit:

one more thing,

what information i need of the credit card?

just the card no.

expiration date

and the cvc code..

right?

will i require the actual credit card with me??

cuz my friend is out of country for few weeks..
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
You get 50Rs refunded even without removing card from wallet. That 50rs charge is just a dummy transaction (simply a hold on money but no actual claim) to test if card is supported by Google wallet or not. Once Google successfully get hold of 50rs, they attach card to wallet as its compatibility with their system is confirmed. After that, they immediately release that money and it can take upto 48hrs to credit back that amount in your account. It is irrespective of whether you keep your card attached to Google wallet or not.

Also, it may be necessary to keep your card attached to wallet during RMA process. I am not sure but I will recommend so as their is no harm in doing so. Your money ain't going anywhere. You can remove card after everything is settled.
