Aramex is sh*t too..since the last 2 days its showing "Bombay-In Transit"

and i will get it tomorrow morning
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
yup i followed all the instructions .the main problem you will face is the dust particles getting stuck between the shield and the screen.so be careful while doing it ...even i got the maximum protection ...first cover the back ..then sides ..then come to the screen ...coz you dont wanna mess up that part ...few dust particles went inside in my first try that is while putting the back cover...front its smooth ..:) ..this time i went into bathroom ...had a hot bath ..then placed the cover ...did the squeezing part with card in the room ! patience is the key :D
[Nexus 5 General] XpayneX:
Finally!!

Finally I'm home and opened the box!

Got the phone delivered by BlueDart on a SUNDAY hahahaha! :D

No dead pixels. The power button rattle is there, but its not a big issue and I'm sure anyone can hardly hear it in a room. Unless you're in a quite room alone, you need to carefully listen to make out the rattle noise. It comes when you shake the phone a little or tap near the side of the screen (not normal tap, like REALLY tap it lol). But in normal use, the power button rattle won't be a problem!

Loving the Bright Red Official Bumper Case. No rattle sound with the case on. The case fits perfectly!

The new Photo app is not available at first start-up of the phone. After updating the Google+ app, you get the new Photo app.

In-Box accessories: Micro USB, Headphones, USB Wall Charger!

S/N starts from 311K. No update was required at initial start-up (or even later. Besides for a few Google apps).

The auto search feature while dialing a number on the dial-pad works as well. If I type Dominos, the local number for Dominos will show up. Coming from an iPhone 5 to Nexus 5, this feature was not there on the iPhone 5(Siri) as Indian Restaurants aren't covered by Apple. I'm really glad this is available on the N5.

Haven't tried the 'Ok-Google' command as I'm using English (UK), and this feature is only available on English (US).

Not been able to test the OTG cable since its been a while I've used my S3 and can't find the cable.

Hope you guys are enjoying your N5, and those who're still waiting.... Being patient is worth it :p

Can someone from bangalore tell me whats the Final price after including shipping charges and taxes if any..
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Oh this is such a beautiful phone. The galaxy note 3 looks, well, so plain in comparison
[Nexus 5 General] coldmixer:
Didn't have to pay any additional tax on the Google play price. 32999 for 32gb
[Nexus 5 General] jaysidhuk:
Nexus 5 is way better than S3,in all the aspects. even in cost wise. I did compared with S4. Still nexus 5 wins

Same here....i believe they are overwhelmed with the number of shipments....google cudnt hv made a worse choice fr shipping their products :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
This comparison isn't with the S4 bro, it's the Note 3. Cost wise the Nexus 5 is 30% less MRP to MRP.
[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
If you are talking about the Play Store version, then dere's no additional charges apart frm whats mentioned on the website i.e. 28999(16G) and 32999(32G)

my phone is coming from singapore ?? someone else's also shipping from singapore through play store ??
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
Where do you see Singapore ?

The order is taken by Google Singapore, but it is shipped by gadgetsguru India, probably some time between gadgetsguru and google, so it's basically coming from Mumbai, India
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Relax yaar, it is shipped from Bhiwandi on the outskirts of Mumbai.
[Nexus 5 General] aashgaur:
my order is still pending.. i ordered on 23rd !!

ive got the mail though.
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
Yeah it shows singapore in the invoice/mail as order is actually accepted by Google singapore but you will get it from Mumbai
[Nexus 5 General] aashgaur:
it says leaves warehouse on 26th ... so in how many days ll i get the phone ?? approx. :P
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
I ordered on 20th and i'll receive it tommorrow, so you should also have it on around 30th, mine delayed by one day due to sunday
[Nexus 5 General] Bigg Boss:
What did you use to make the water soapy ?
[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
If you look carefully, you'll probably see that one Rs. 50 transaction is a debit, the other is a credit... it was basically them checking the authenticity of your card by charging Rs. 50 and then releasing the money back to you.

Also is it really that much of a test of patience? I know their roll out hasn't kept us very updated, but I ordered on the 20th, I'm getting the phone by tomorrow. I think 5 days is decent.. actually 4 days, if you don't count Sunday. Only Flipkart constantly surprises me with deliveries 2 days and 3 days after ordering.
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
used a drop of my shampoo ..you can use any shampoo it doesnt matter..but u need to make sure that it doesn't lather..dilute as much as you can !
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
For the initial orders it took just 1 or 2 days for delivery even though shipping status showed "Leaves warehouse on 24th". I ordered on 20th and received it on 22nd. Some of them also received it the very next day i.e 21st Nov.
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
finally i will receive it tomorrow.. :p :p

[Nexus 5 General] shrek8421:
Thanks for heads up. another question: How did you manage not to get any excess water in the speaker or any other part?
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
I used a cloth to wipe the excess water whenever i used my atm card :P ...i was very careful while doing this ...took me an hour and a half to do the whole process ..really worth it :)
[Nexus 5 General] meethere:
I got mine

first thing i did is unlocked the bootloader and rooted... coz the data will get wiped when you unlock later...

awesome phone :)

now looking for some cases... confused http://www.buycheapindia.com/forum/Thread-Which-are-the-best-cases-or-covers-for-nexus-5

Bluedart delay

My order shipped on the 22nd. Since then it says this on the Bluedart website: "Flight/Vehicle/Train; Delayed/Cancelled". I tried calling customer care but the offices were shut. What kind of a mailing company doesn't have a 7 days a week customer care. Anybody facing the same issue?
[Nexus 5 General] ankitkhedekar:
I checked the SMS alert once again and it says "you have made debit card purchase of INR50"
[Nexus 5 General] Codekrypt:
Considering my tracking id hasn't been activated since the 22nd and Bluedart says they have the package, your better off lol.

[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
I also called him up today and he told me that the orders will start shipping on Monday. I was the 20th order in his list and hence hopefully I will get the phone dispatched tomorrow or Max by 26th as that is the deadline from Ebay too.

Not sure if the refund request will be easy to make as you have accepted the increased deadline. I did not accept it because I know that if he is not dispatching it by Tuesday, I will order from PlayStore. God... Why did I not wait for one more day and could have ordered both my Nexus from Playstore. I would have then enjoyed my phone right now.

To Buy or Not to Buy ??

Guys , I am really confused about buying the NEXUS 5 , i know it is the best thing there is but many handsets seem to have Manufacturing defects.

I want to inquire what to do if i get a defective handset from Retail Store OR Ebay OR Play Store . :confused:

^( Also i read that LG doesn't consider rattling of power button a defect and won't replace the phone , it it true ? )
[Nexus 5 General] XpayneX:
I had the same status on BlueDart. Picked up on 22nd.

But surprisingly I received my handset by BlueDart today (Sunday). Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that this status probably means that the flight/train is delayed, and BlueDart ppl are too lazy to update the status of the package lol Well, I agree with him now :D

Hopefully you'll get the package on Monday. But still give them a call in the morning just in case. Contact: 18602331234

Good luck!

Screen Guard Chennai

Guys, I don't want to buy any screen guard online and mess it up while applying it...Any suggestions where I can give my N5 to any local(Chennai) shops for applying screen guard...
[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
Read any other phone's forum on xda, and when the launch happens you'll see lots of defects popping up. That's because most of the people who come to post will be talking about problems. At the same time most people who've got a great piece won't come in to say that.

Trust me, when the Note launched it was the same thing.

Regarding the way to get defects sorted out, I'm in favour of the Play Store, since Google is known for having a great return policy. You can RMA any piece within 15 days of receiving it.
[Nexus 5 General] Virtualsk:
ordered mine 32 GB BLACK with the help of my brother in USA...it cost me only 27K INR ... :)

Will get it by December 1st week.
[Nexus 5 General] Vinci12:
That' why you buy from Google.

If you find a defective piece, they will exchange it for different handset.

So, order from playstore instead of buying from Ebay, Flipkart or any retail store (LG or otherwise).
[Nexus 5 General] :
Fedex is super cool, I'll get my Black N5 32gb on 10:30 local time (Fedex guy just called).

Pickup on : Saturday (From Mumbai)

Traveling to Kerala: on Sunday (no holiday for sunday)

Delivery: Monday morning

hurray......

Will update details when I get my package.
[Nexus 5 General] carn_ival:
Yes they have!:D
[Nexus 5 General] vinay.m:
bluedart is really pathetic

called the bluedart cc, and they told that the package has just boarded from mumbai today.

and it will reach jaipur in a day or two

this is very sad

ordered on 20th at ~8am

got shipping mail on 23

stating -

pickup date 22

expected delivery date 23

and on 25th, they are saying the package has just left the mumbai for delhi.

i must say bluedart is really, really pathetic. :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
http://electronics.vivastreet.co.in...es-from-scratches-with-gadgetshieldz/67616173

Power Button Rattle Problem

my reviews

Hi guys,

Thot i should share my basic views on phone..

This goes after 48 hrs of extreme usage and 2 completely battery charge cycles

Screen: Hot ! hot! hot ! super responsive, kitkat makes it look super cool.. my advice dont keep auto brightness on ,( also first 12-13 hours use at max brightness and njoi ur device : no logic behind it just so ht u fall more in love with screen)

however i like screen of G2 and HTC one much better , just imagining it with kitkat makes me have goosebumps

Touch: super responsive :D

Camera: liked it bt not loved it , focus issues bt good cam nothing grt though ( HDR+ is cool) , controls are a bit fishy..

didnt like camera coming out from the phone would lead to scratches if u dnt get a back cover of them semi spheres to raise it from surface

Charging: gets charged in 2 hrs :)

Battery life: not as good.. first charge : lasted for 17 hours : 9 hrs of sleep : rest super heavy usage and downloads . ( no games or music or video play) :silly:

Second recharge: lasted 19 hrs: 9 hrs of sleep : 2 hrs of wifi Actual usage : 1 hr of hd gaming : rest other stuff , got charged in 2 hrs 11 mins ( it has 1.2A output , as against 1 A output by micromax charger etc)

Battery seems to improve after second full charge :highfive:

Speed: awesome: i tried t on Asphalt 8 : smooth as butter , compared with HTC one and g2 : btr thn one , as good as G2 the gameplay experience( my personal view) :highfive:

Things install like zooop and its done

Storage: 32 gb gives u 26.XX gb space

Buttons: shaky especially power button, i feel it will fall of one fine day :(

Head/ear phones: throw thm just thrown them away.. tried with skull candy it was awesome! ( would have been btr if thy had not given them earphones at all)

Speaker: Average: HTC one beats the shi* out of it

Kitkat: its lovely , book and play apps, etc improved quiet a bit, looks are pretty cool, folder options and stuff makes u like it more

Caller id feature: is only for business listings so you might still need truecall*

Hangouts : personaly i will go for a separate default sms app. feels like a desperate attempt by Google to get into every thing

Ok Google ! : great feature , great sensitivity. in all most of software part is greaT

Two finger vertical slide for options is great , the flat icons make it kool even better

Customization able home screen

Weight and body: feels sleek, premium, super light, slips in pocket like kerchief , my brother using s4 was like wow its so much btr ( no offence to s4 :angel:) mine is blk

Navigation: improved!

in all great improvement over N4

Cheap phone: no way , if you feel tht you got this phone cheap at 33k , it isn't true . phone is great bt definitely not cheap

Maybe it is the best phone at its price bracket bt nt cheap

Wifi speeds etc are really good , 3G response is great as expectd (for a few wifi might not connect , go for static ip and change it and it will strt)

With a few widgets some cool apps and games it all set. and if u want unlock n root it ( b4 installign or saving anythng ) and enjoi even furthr

[Nexus 5 General] niks4101:
Thats not a speaker. There is a mic under that

Got my grogeous N5 32GB at 10 this morning.

As much as all of us have been complaining about them, they delivered it first thing in the morning. :victory:

Will post further details later, once I have time to set it up at home.
[Nexus 5 General] Curius7:
Because that's not a speaker, it's a micrphone. Only the left one is a speaker.

Bluedart Tracking ID not active after more than 24 hrs

I ordered Nexus (White 32GB) on 20th.

Got my shipping mail on 23rd but my BLUEDART TRACKING ID IS STILL NOT ACTIVE.

Should I contact Google or Bluedart?
[Nexus 5 General] SuRfeR101:
Hi Friends,

this is my first device purchase from google play store...so..wanted to ask...doesn't google provide a separate bill or invoice apart from the packing slip???
[Nexus 5 General] Rygart1811:
NOrmally it takes about a day for the tracking id to activate.. so its still not late. But you should try giving a call to the bluedart support. They will be able to inform you about the status of your shipment
[Nexus 5 General] abhi321984:
No. Even i had the same query. So, i called Google Play Support and confirmed that there is no separate physical Bill or Receipt provided.

Your E-mail ID is registered with them which lists your Playstore purchase. And this is enough for any warranty claims if needed.
[Nexus 5 General] abhinn124:
Yeah that's why I am worried because it's been more than 36 hours and my tracking number is still not active.
[Nexus 5 General] Rygart1811:
Give them a call then, that would be the best.

I had got my tracking id on 22nd and I kept on waiting on 23rd whole day for any news about it, which i didnt get and the tracking id got activated yesterday (Sunday) morning.

Bluedart is quite laid back in updating these stuffs as I have seen with most of the people around here...
[Nexus 5 General] harscelle:
Don't worry. My tracking number also got activated late, after about 2 days. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Codekrypt:
Don't worry about the tracking id, bluedart tracking is ****. Your tracking number can only be activated at night. If you live in Mumbai, you will get your device and then after 12 tonight your tracking id will be activated.

[Nexus 5 General] clavicle:
Has anyone of you really RMAed Playstore India? I got my device couple of days ago and it had a dead pixel in it. Today when I contacted the support, they agreed to replace it, but with condition that first it will be picked up by their shipper and then checked for the defect and if approved a new device would be sent to me, the worst part this entire process would take almost two weeks and they have no option to help you going phoneless during this period. Whereas in USA you have the option of getting a new device, your credit card is charged, but held till they receive the defective device and then if they find the defect satisfactory they will revert the held payment immediately. I guess we have miles to go before the services in India get on par with rest of the world.

If anyone amongst you has some other suggestion please help me out.

New stock of 32 GBs have reached the LG warehouse. Got a confirmation from my LG guy. I had Pre ordered a 32 GB Black through an LG store. He said it will be available by Wednesday.
