ok thats weird was just having a chat with them to ensure if all was fine thatway as in India we always need to put our 3d secure pin for payment confirmation but they said that its verified by our bank and cleared if incase the customer has not used the card then he can call bank to stop payment but I believe its not the right way to accept payment what if anyone randomnly puts the details of card and even without putting the pin he can bypass the payment its weird :silly:

me too orderd 2 nillkin and a piston2
[Nexus 5 General] Sy1ar:
did not order piston yet, its just in my "waiting for payment" section,

added it to the cart so that I could use the coupon

hope everything goes fine and the seller ships soon

If anyone needs the piston then please ask me, as I can still get it for 19.59

I guess you're using a card for international payments for the first time?? That secure pin is only applicable for transactions on Indian Gateways. Since aliexpress isn't Indian, the 3d secure pin won't be asked. No need to worry, your order is set as long as the money has been deducted from your account! :p That's all they care :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Sy1ar:
anyone has got their hands on Piston?

does the volume buttons work with Nexus 5?

right now I am using Apple EarPods, the quality is good but only problem is that the volume buttons donot work with Nexus 5

official mi store sells the Piston for 99 Yuan that means it will be available on flipkart for Rs 1000 or less
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
well if thats the case then will open an account in ICICI too as hdfc(my aacount) and sbi (my account)and bank of india(my wife account) failed

and yes I was purchasing it for the first time internationally was expecting a reply from you as you seem to have already transc before with aliexpress

yes it works as reported in other forum read post 2 http://www.reddit.com/r/Nexus5/comments/2d8jba/xiaomi_piston_2/

Thanks a lot, mate.

Looking at this price, I don't think buying it is so practical.

Edit : I just saw this on junglee.com, is it a reliable place to buy? Because it's a great deal.

The site has three sellers selling the nexus 7 device. However, the least price that you're seeing is from amazon.com

If you carefully see the description below, it says that shipping and customs costs will be calculated at checkout which more or less is the same as replied before to your previous query when you directly visited the amazon.com website.

Hope it helps! :D
[Nexus 5 General] whosaysjohn:
I'd suggest not to buy from grabmore and cart2india as their delivery timelines are in December...And this is for the from AmazonGlobal Standard Shipping (averages 9-12 days) delivery costs are given below including customs etc:

Items:	INR 14,909.68

Shipping & handling:	INR 705.48

Total before tax:	INR 15,615.16

Estimated tax to be collected:	INR 0.00

Import Fees Deposit	INR 4,825.58

Order total:	INR 20,440.7

Still cheaper than the other 2 listings...
[Nexus 5 General] roofrider:
Amazon Global offers free shipping to India.
[Nexus 5 General] whosaysjohn:
Nope, its not the case with all items...the amount i have mentioned is what shows during checkout process...
[Nexus 5 General] roofrider:
It does apply to N7, you should select FREE AmazonGlobal Saver and not Standard Shipping. I just checked.

But i didn't enter the card details and proceed further.
[Nexus 5 General] whosaysjohn:
Yeah, you're right, i didnt check the free option...but its 700 rs difference...
[Nexus 5 General] roofrider:
Yea, the duty is pretty high. I've not used Amazon but read they refund the excess import fee deposit, has that actually happened?

Anyway, the N7 should be available along with the N5 in India soon.

You will still be waiting till 27th dec, it'll most probably be released here earlier than that.

But you can get the N5 32GB from the US for a much lesser price and since you're friend will be carrying it here you won't have to pay for shipping and duty.

No offense, but when it's looking more and more likely that the N5 will release this weekend, it would be preferable to have this thread only focus on the N5.

Right now, this one thread is my best source of info on when the N5 will be available. And I need to know that ASAP, especially since there don't seem to be too many units shipping in for the first batch (especially of 32GB). It is a painful distraction to have to read through multiple unrelated posts to find out if there has been an update.

From someone really looking forward to getting the N5 soon, this is just a polite request to not clutter this thread up.

Debit cards are a pain if you use PayPal and order internationally... That's why I applied for a HDFC credit card as soon as I found there was an offer going on... There's no annual fee on my CC and I get a grace period of +20 days to clear my dues! So, it's a win win situation.. If you're an old hdfc account holder, keep checking their netbanking portal.. They put up such offers over there..

Hi All,

Am planning to buy the Pistons from either Aliexpress or Merimobiles. Just wanted to make sure that the ones in AliExpress from Tangtown's store are

V 2.1 and not 2.0. Can anybody confirm the same ?

Merimobiles has it cheaper at 20$ and people have told it is original but somehow Payment through my CC is not going through. It says Maximum Attempts reached. And i got this message when i tried the 1st time itself.

Am a bit sceptical to buy from Aliexpress as there are a lot of Fakes sold there but based on the feedback, this seller seems genuine.

I dont use Earphones a lot but these Pistons have generated so much hype, that i am tempted to buy and see whats the big deal around this...

Kindly advice so that i can go ahead with my purchase.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yeah, that's true.. Line kharab hogaya toh it's down for a few days.. I used mtnl for the last 7 years and haven't faced any issue.. But for the past 4-5 months, it has been terrible... So, I had to move on.

Well, I had ordered nilllkin for my Nexus and mom's Mi3 on 27th.. I got mine sometime ago but the mi3 one is lost I think.. There's no update on their post tracker. I guess I'll have to opt for a refund.. Ugggh! :/

While purchasing from Aliexpress, you need to first look at the seller rating and then the feedbacks. If you find those legit, you can go ahead with the purchase..

Here's the product page: http://m.aliexpress.com/item/1331848155.html

Note that it can take upto a month for the product to be delivered..

What i am still not clear of is whether these are latest V 2.1 or 2.0. I have also sent the Seller an E-mail for confirmation. Am awaiting a response.

I really don't think thats a bad practise towards us. Just think if they are giving unlimited plans, whole people will start streaming, downloading, uploading all at the same time. And that leads to traffic congestion. This results in frequent disconnections of network. So, i think its not really bad. Atleast for me :p I have act broadband. My plan is 1149 with speed 20Mbps and 60gb FUP which is more than enough for me.

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 AM ----------

Population effect lol :p
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Network congestion doesn't happen with ADSL broadband connections.. That's why you won't find speed caps with your plan. If you're offered 2 mbps, you will get a download speed of 240 Kb/sec constant (at most times). However, with cable connections such as mine, there may be network congestion as the same line/cable is shared by many. Hence it's called a hub. There are pros and cons to both but I prefer a cable connection over adsl anyday.

lol.. :silly:

Well, I think it's the way we're brought up and the culture we follow.. I think these two things play a major role towards the "helpful" attitude over here! :)

Beam Fiber and Act are cheapest ISP in India, so its better to exclude them and they are not in every major city yet, spec in North India

I live in Delhi and pay around 1000 pm and get only 2mpbs that too with ****ing fup of just 10gb then speed is reduced to 512kbps.

can you believe that just 10gb? which gets over in 3-4 days of normal usage. Cant move to mtnl or some other due to their crap services.

So I have almost no other option then to stay with airtel.

Govt recently changed their definition of broadband and increased minimum speed from 256kbps to 512kbps....lol

In 2014 that too on a fixed line broadband connection 512kbps. So every Isp uses fup limits and decreases the speeds to 512kbps which is minimum speed. Its time to have minimum speed of 1mbps to 2mbps.

Btw all those who are buying piston 2 from aliexpress why not from ebay? I dunno whether they are updated v2 you can ask the seller and see if any coupon applies to it and you may get a healthy 200-300 disc. :)

http://www.ebay.in/itm/STYLISH-NEW-...Mobile_Accessories&hash=item41854100db&_uhb=1
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well with the coupon the deal seem good but its the 2.0 version and he has mentioned it wrong in saying its the latest edition where on top of sale he clearly mentions v2 so its not the 2014 edition and no return policy from seller In case of bad piston in few days we will be left with a piece if metal to showcase but for those who cant wait its a fair deal if it would have been v2.1 I myself would have bought it as I have seen the sale before but just bcoz of old version i didnt anyways its new compared to what flipkart are going to sell[emoji12]
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
I guess flipkart or xiaomi haven't confirmed which version they are going to sell or have they? and what's the difference b/w v2.0 and v2.1?
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Flipkart has mentioned the model no which seems v1 and if thy come up with v2 that would be great as accesories are now coming in for sale slowly

V2vsv2.1 well after the piston won the award the co enhanced the piston2 with better drivers which resulted in more better sound output and another IF Commemorative Edition to celebrate the product design award which seem out of stock most places as it was a limited edition and 500 pcs were made be xiaomi

You can search google to get complete details there is a forum named head-fi.org something where a lot has been discussed
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
I doubt they are going to bring the outdated v1 to India. So most probably it would be v2. Yeah will look for info for difference b/w v2 and v2.1
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
As far as i have read they are bringing the black piston so even if its a v2 it does not have that great output as gold have and this was reported by many users all over and if u see black piston cost less whereas goldv2 cost the same as v2.1 its just that seller having the old stock clearing it wish flipkart brings v2.1 bang on will get another incase they do even internationally manu described the 2.1 as the rose gold but maybe its just a sale tactics.
