Thanks. I went to the service center, unfortunately they're out of parts and it'll only arrive next week. Repair costs are 7100 for the screen , 900 for the Camera lens (got scratched , though camera works fine) and around 250 for the rear case.

8250 :'( , goddamn.... I'm ordering a Spigen Slim armor.

Yeah , be very careful. I didn't really drop it , was riding and it bounced out of my trouser pocket when I was forced into a ditch (Blasted oncoming truck drivers). I guess the impact at 50 km/hr was too much for the screen.

Hi guys... whats up..

So nexus 5 still not defect free? :( dead pixel fixed in 312 batch?!
[Nexus 5 General] :
That's very costly, remembering that good times when I had my Nokia N73 and once I broke it's display and all I had to pay was 3000.

N5 can't take that much hits, it's not designed to be tough but it's more than enough for a 33K phone with beast specs.

I'm waiting for my shipper to call me for RMA pickup, GAWD it's been about a week since I issued RMA, fired Google Indian customer care thousand times. Wish my new replacement for 32gig black N5 bug free.

I've heard new 312 build are geting yellowish tinge screens, do they go away in time ?

Nexus 5 USB problem

Guys I have a strange problem here.

Whenever i connect my nexus 5 to the pc the autoplay opens the folder.

But its always blank(I dont get any INternal storage icon).

I have to manually select MTP after connecting.
[Nexus 5 General] rubenswing:
go to device manager and uninstall and delete ADB interface driver. Unplug nexus. Then download this driver from google.

http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

Set your Nexus as MTP and plug in but be sure before you plug nexus in that "automatic driver install" is disabled in your Windows settings..

After you plugged it in you should find it listed in your device manager as unknown device. Then manually install the above driver
[Nexus 5 General] hiback:
Thanks for the reply bro.

But if its a driver problem then why the internal storage gets visible when i manually switch to MTP after connecting the device.

And BTW i have already unlocked my phone i.e if my pc didnt have drivers it wouldnt detect my device in bootloader mode.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

Guys, any suggestions with power banks ? I need one

some requirements :-

> should be portable. I go to college on regular basis , sometimes I carry a big but sometimes I don't. So a power bank which fits my pocket of jacket pocket would be great.

> should charge the phone faster (same time like OEM wall charger will do great)

> should be compatible with nexus 5.

> should be available at ebay.in/flipkart/any reputed indian selling site like snapdeal.

> This will be my first portable so I don't know if build quality is necessary for banks or for much how months they work good, and if they damage the batteries of smartphones so any info on power banks would be great.

Looking for responses.

When did u ordered yours???

[Nexus 5 General] :
Hey guys,

Just like you I'm long awaiting for my Nexus 5, I'm in confusion about whether I should buy it with my cousin in Canada or wait out till it hit Indian market. As most of you know if I import it there will be some problems, I thought I should share and get your thoughts on this.

Benefits of importing

You don't have to wait.

Can save some bucks (About Rs.4,000 after deducting tax and shipping cost.)

Manufactured on top tier country unlike china(I know most of current smartphones are made out of china but just sayin.)

Drawbacks

No LTE support in India (I don't think LTE gonna roll up in india near future nor tarffs, even 3G tariff is still pain in ass.)

No warranty. (I don't want to buy a 30K mobile without warranty)

If rumours are true N5 hits Indian market on Nov 15 thereby chances of getting it earlier than US/Canada.

What do you guys think >? Let me know your thoughts ?

I hope they Google won't make us wait more than 1 month.
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
You buy nexus 5 from anywhere the manufacturing is done in Korea.

LTE is gonna come to India by next in year in some of the major cities. Whether nexus 5 supports bands compatible with Indian networks is an issue which it will not support mostly. Buying an expensive phone without warranty will not be a good decision according to me. And generally the first batches of most of the phones give problems and without warranty it'll be a pain for you. I would suggest you to wait till month's end and if Google does not launch it till then import it.
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
None taken! :good:

Off topic:Someone should really tell the mods: NEXUS 5 does not weigh in at 0 gms! :eek::silly:
[Nexus 5 General] Vitalstatistix:
Dilemma!

I do care about OS Updates! And though for Months I was inclined towards HTC One, now at the time of buying LG G2 and Nexus 5 have thrown it out of the window. I am torn between HTC One, G2 and Nexus 5!

Instant OS Updates, 4.95" (Still slightly bigger than desired), Excellent Specs not to mention the Tempting Pricing Makes me Lean towards Nexus 5

What is casting doubt in me are the following

- Lack of Stereo. Playing Intensive games would suck without quality audio. Plus how does it sound through ear phones?

- Niggling Issues are something I can overlook. But since now Importing is the only option, is it advisable to Import it now, Is it worth the risk?

- Camera a decent one will work for me. But some reviews point out that the 1080p 4.95" IPS Screen's quality is not as good as the other flagship phones is that the case?

- I know what to expect out of a 2300 mAh battery, but still can someone tell for how many hours the battery lasts with the usage that I indicated in my earlier post?

As I said somewhere else so many questions, deliberations and waiting is for the fact that this is going to be my first smartphone and I do not want it going 'Obsolete' (I know it will be outdated soon) for at least another 2 years (in terms of Dev Support, Updates etc, though Google says the Support period is 18 months as in the case with Galaxy Nexus)
[Nexus 5 General] :
Thanks for the info. 'll wait it out, Oh god give me patience.

Any word on Indian release date ?
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I'll try to answer your questions one by one.

> If you don't care about OS Updates, then trust me, just go with G2. G2 is much much better than atleast HTC One in performance, camera, and though it is build of plastic but that plastic doesn't feel like cheap plastic of samsung's. Also, G2 is available right now where as you have to wait for Nexus 5 to come here. Though yes importing is an option but then again you won't get a warranty, and trust me, warranty matters alot. Just imagine you get a simple problem like deal pixel or some build fault, what would you do? :(

> Now, coming to speakers, well mate G2 also have got mono speakers. I hate to tell you but if speakers matters alot then HTC One is probably your best choice. To be honest, I always play games, music, and movies with headphones, so for me that works but if you play it on speakers then HTC One is your thing but then again HTC One is not future proof and that too for 50,000 as Indian market has got only Dual SIM HTC One. So again I would suggest you to go with G2. I don't know how nexus 5 sounds with earphones but be assured that it will sound the same like Nexus 4 or better. It surely can't be lesser than quality of Nexus 4 no? :)

> I have seen reviews of Nexus 5's camera. They say it's very very good when compared to Nexus 4. But not so much when compared to Nokia's 1020 snapper. This Nexus 5 has got a very good camera though. The quality of this IPS is that, phones like G2, S4, Htc ONE, has either got AMOLED display or LCD but saturated colors. You can always apply Kernals to calibrate the display as per your convenience though. If you are coming from a AMOLED phone , the display of Nexus 5 will look a bit washed out but it is really gorgeous once you spend some time with it, like a week or couple.

> Battery will be better on this Nexus 5. Reports are that people are getting 6-8 hrs's of Screen On Time. If you ask me, that's alot. I used to get 3-4 hrs on Nexus 4 with moderate use. If you are a gamer nexus 4 will give you 3 hrs backup tops. But average user who just browses around, plays little games and calls and texts and goes to office for work, Nexus 5 should easily get you a day. But don't take my word for it as battery usage always depends on how you use it, background processes, background using of GPS and alot of services.

I think I see what you are looking in a smartphone and I would suggest you just blindly go with G2. It's gorgeous display, so much better camera and so many features with camera (60fps shooting) and alot and battery for 8hrs screen on time atleast is very very good. The only thing G2 won't have is the speakers but some reviews say HTC One has got clearer sound but G2 has got louder. here is a link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68by3mNGW2s

Hope that helps.

I've been using Nexus 5 since Sunday, it a great phone. Screen is good, good sunlight legibility. Decent battery life also. The only drawback is speaker. It really sucks. I've been using S4 till now. I'm pretty much satisfied with Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] AhmedFaiz:
Wait for it to get root and put viper 4 android in it . rock on ? nice to hear good initial reviews. ?

Okay so speakers sucks ... Wanted to ask hows the speakers when compared to Nexus 4? 4's speakers were alright for me and if these have any better than 4's I'm all good.

My N5 should reach HSG warehouse by today so hopefully I'll get it by the end of week :D

no way ull get it by the end of the week, minimum monday imo

and hope it wont get misrouted!

my package is doing rounds in the US.

from kentucky to OREGON to colorado to california (latest)

and hopefully back to oregon sometime soon.

UPS is a big time sucker. Iam going mad lookin at this torture.
[Nexus 5 General] Vitalstatistix:
Thanks for such a detailed reply!

-> Yes OS Updates mean a lot to me

-> Cost is a major factor too (Cant buy top end and see them go obsolete soon)

-> LG G2 is also around 43,500 INR whereas Nexus 5 33,000 INR

-> Camera if it is better than Nexus 4 it is good enough for me

-> Sound will be a bit of a let down. It should atleast be good if not top notch through earphones/headphones. Waiting for this

Considering all this I think I will go for Nexus 5. And Since you too have cast a shadow on Nexus 5 being Imported (which would save cost further, on hindsight if something goes wrong it might end up being costlier) torn between asking someone from US to bring it or to buy it in India (Issues about Stock in India going out is also there)
[Nexus 5 General] Harsha Raj:
What is the amount of available RAM and also the storage space for users?
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I have seen alot of new threads since I made that post and let me tell you straight that mate, the speakers are okay. Better than Nexus 4 but isn't that good as flagships.For cost, nexus 5 is the best for 29,000. Again as I said I would go for import if I see someone selling , now I have changed my mind. As I have seen so many complains from so many people saying first batch sucked for Nexus 5 , errors being : dead pixels, dust under screen, power and volume rocker buttons being not placed well and poor build, I would just buy from play store india when available. I would not go for imported version. And I hope google launches Nexus 5 here soon :( Camera is actually better than iPhone 5S , check the review and comments at phonearena.com when compared to 5S. So well isn't that sexy? :D For OS updates, ofc Nexus then.
[Nexus 5 General] Vitalstatistix:
Agreed. I have been following the 'Problem Threads' that are cropping up.

- Dead Pixels

- Slightly Wobbly Power Button

- Quality of Speakers

are the main ones to sum it up. The first one is an Issue. The Second one many people find it to be an negligible one. Whereas the Third is the speakers are working fine but they are far from being good. This is the general review.

So Import would sound good if you have someone buy it for you there, check out for defects (exchange it if any) and then ship the trouble free device to you! How does this sound :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] Dragooon123:
What are you talking about? Mine is at destination scan scheduled to arrive by the end of Tuesday, so if HSG ships by Wednesday it should be cleared by DHL by Saturday in their Delhi office.

Google Play

Hi Team

I just got to know that both of my credit cards are inactive (did not use them for quite some time) and because most of the debit cards do not work I will have to use either my brother's or my friends' credit card.

The queries that I have are:

-- Can I ask my brother/friend to buy the phone, when it is available on Indian play store, without adding their credit card to Google wallet, just like we buy on Flipkart etc. ? - They might not even have a Google/Gmail ID - Pushing them to link the credit card to Google wallet and then buy the device would be too much of an ask

-- If the credit card has to be registered with Google wallet and say my friend buys it through the play store, linking his credit card to his Google wallet, the device bought will also be linked to his account (when someone enters into Google play it shows the devices owned by the person). Can I relink the device bought by my friend to my Google play account when I start using the phone ?

Many thanks

[Nexus 5 General] freak744:
Hell, they are not at all good at updating :rolleyes:

I ordered on 17th Dec, got the delivery on 1st Jan (without getting a shipping email confirmation)

The new year time sucked as my Box got crushed and the charger and the earphones both cracked.:(

Called up Google immediately and asked for RMA.

Still waiting for their email for the RMA form. They say that the order hasn't been charged yet and that they'll be able to send the RMA form as it gets charged.

And UPDATING? The Google play as well as Wallet pages still say 'Pending'. They didn't even know it was shipped until I called up for RMA!!!! :p

Now it's just a bit more waiting till I get the RMA form and then a week or so probably more for having the newer device shipped.

I feel like I'm CURSED!!! :(
[Nexus 5 General] Ajaykumar21066:
unfortunately the Package services are worst in INDIA

[Nexus 5 General] TJKV:
Oh this is very true. There is a FedEx store near my place, they literally throw things from inside out onto the footpath, and then into their van. Once this guy was chucking packages into the vehicle so haphazardly that it all spilled out onto him like a flood! Was about to go help him but then decided he can dig out of his own mess by himself.

not so lucky they have kept my order on hold(just cheked my mail they saying that i have insufficient funds but my account was debited 32999 the same day i ordered and now they want to debit it again?

or is it the normal procedure?
[Nexus 5 General] Ajaykumar21066:
Whats your card limit

---------- Post added at 12:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Please be informed that Google Play places a payment authorization (temporary hold) on your credit/debit card while we process your order. Authorizations are placed in order to ensure that there are enough funds in your account till we ship the device. Once your order is ready to ship, the ‘authorization’ converts into a ‘charge’.

In case the device is to be shipped after 7 days we place another authorization, which may reflect in your account as a "second charge". However, please be advised that once we place the second authorization, the first authorization is released simultaneously.

Please note that when an authorization is placed, the funds are held by the bank. We receive the funds only when the order is shipped. Unfortunately, the banks do not show 'authorizations' and 'charges' separately
[Nexus 5 General] vksjangra:
i ordered with icici debit card

so the limit is as much as i keep money in it.

so now i have to more money in my ac. so it can be "actually debited" and the previous hold will be released?
[Nexus 5 General] Ajaykumar21066:
Somehow Google doesnt like Debit card much
[Nexus 5 General] deepakanand:
It was 31st Dec (32GB Black)
[Nexus 5 General] vksjangra:
so what do you suggest i do now?

pay them again?

will i be then refunded the initial payment.
[Nexus 5 General] cyanide911:
I've one question guys. The Nexus 5 is actually a fantastic phone for the USD349 price it has in the US. But for Rs29000 here, is it still a good buy? I'm having second thoughts over it.
[Nexus 5 General] Ajaykumar21066:
IF you really want the phone , pay them again,

in 10-15 days you will get the previous payment in your account
[Nexus 5 General] vksjangra:
was your card also debited 2 times?
[Nexus 5 General] Ajaykumar21066:
Yes, i ordered my phone on 24 DEC , i got charged

Today it was shipped , I got charged again

Called my bank , they informed that previous payment will be reverted within 11 days

WORDS FROM GOOGLE

""In case the device is to be shipped after 7 days we place another authorization, which may reflect in your account as a "second charge". However, please be advised that once we place the second authorization, the first authorization is released simultaneously.""

---------- Post added at 12:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 AM ----------

SO your account needs to have to a balance of more than 66k , which i think in your case was not there
[Nexus 5 General] vksjangra:
A stupid payment system of a million dollar firm.

well i will have to transfer money into the ac tomorrow then to be charged again.

[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Once you get your phone picked up by the shipper, after that it's just buttery smooth! 2 Days max! and you get your new phone. Google is doing a great job if you ask me as I have already done RMA twice (for button rattle) and I never got any problems with Google, but on the other hand, bluedart... just just don't ask.

Ok today I noticed couple of problems in my phone.

The speaker stopped working thereby notifications were not heard and calls didn't work ie couldn't hear anything. Restarted the phone and everything was fine.
