So finally the seller has agreed to give me a refund but of $8 only.

Initially he was offering me a refund of $5 only but later on agreed for $8,, but with a condition that I will give him a positive rating on aliexpress.. So finally this case cost me $3 which is not a bad deal..

And once I get my money back in my account, I will show that cheap Chinese ass how we Indians give positive ratings..

Hey i want to know something.. If i rooted my phone and roll back to stock and flashing stock recovery and locking bootloader... Will i still get warranty? Anyone tried?

[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well the experience user had already created guide so just follow it and it will be fine if you would had been on a samsung phone the scenario would have been diffrent with knox and ****.

So just njoy your nexus be sure to follow instruction and yes a stock rom backup from recovery and a efs backup is a must.

Good luck

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yes, there are chances that once unlocking the bootloader, you might not be able to relock it.. If the eMMC fails, the phone might stick on the Google Logo with a unlocked symbol.

That's why I always relock the bootloader after I'm done flashing things!

However, if the device has been bought via playstore, Google doesn't care about an unlocked bootloader...
[Nexus 5 General] vd1900:
Hi guys is SView flip case available officially in India ?

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yeah, but there's no harm in being safe.. It's better to be safe than sorry.. If you have 15k lying around freely then you need not bother about such trivial things though :D

My device is covered under LG Warranty and I will always lock the bootloader as soon as I'm done tinkering.. It just takes a few seconds to do it via the Bootunlocker app :D

:( That's bad. There's nothing you can do other than wait...
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
My nexus 4's bootloader is still unlocked even after 10 months... Why to relock it every time,, In Nexus 4 if u lock/unlock the bootloader it wipes whole internal storage.. so no...
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Unlocking the bootloader wipes everything if it's done via fastboot! If you use the bootunlocker app, you can unlock/Relock without wiping and can even change the tamper flag to false!

It works on all Nexus devices.

So after about 5 months with my Nexus 5, the screen has scratches. Some are quite visible and deep. What is the point of GG3 on the screen if it gets scratched? Can I RMA? Will they replace the screen or whole device for free? It's still under warranty.
[Nexus 5 General] fusion123:
The warranty does not cover wear and tear of devices. You can RMA the device in case of a hardware issue or a major software issue which cannot be resolved. Scratches on screen are almost equivalent to a broken screen when it comes to warranty. That's why its a must to go for a high quality screen guard as GG3 makes the screen less prone to scratches but does not make it scratch proof.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
GG3 is never scratch resistant, it has ability to resist scratches better than normal screens. But it can get scratched easily upon contact with sands.
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Well, my phone's screen is holding up pretty well. Not a single scratch on it...

I do however take a lot of care while using it though.. I'm sure if I had used it roughly, there would have been many scratches on it by now :silly:

[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
As you said its a good bye note but it seems that its rather converting on negotiation so rather head down to swappa,ebay,olx,quickr.
[Nexus 5 General] pursuitdiablosv:
So I can't get it replaced for free? I don't really want to pay for it.
[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
Finally some improvements! ;)
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
For the scratches and scuffs, you won't!

Apply a glass screen protector on it and most of the slight scratches won't be visible... However, the deep ones will still bug you :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] amrit94:
Another question: they always come into my mind,can't help them :P

If i have some hardware issues with my nexus 5,though i bought this device from USA store,i can still ask google or LG( in india) to fix it up for me,obviously by paying them something or it is not the case?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
If you have bought it from USA, RMA won't work. So, you need to send the device to a LG Service outlet if you face any hardware issues. They will charge you for it since it doesn't have any warranty in India.

You can write any number of complaints, no one would stop you from doing that. Although the only way you can repair a device bought from the US, in India, whether in warranty or out of warranty, is by a paid repair. Or else you could ship it back to the US and try get it repaired/RMA'ed for free if its covered under warranty

[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Google doesn't repair phones. They are only concerned with RMA. If you want it repaired, you need to contact LG.

You could however send it to the US and claim warranty over there but the shipping and all might cost you just as much.

Yes, [MENTION=4544698]Techimplant[/MENTION] has bought one.. You can check his short review here:

Even a good case will leave slight scuff marks after prolonged use. After all the backside of the phone and the edges are in constant contact with the case which will eventually leave a few marks.
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Official Bumper isn't gonna damage your phone but do keep in mind that it's kinda bulky.

Its much bulkier than my Ringke Fusion and those squared off edges make the phone a bit difficult to use.

I would suggest that you order a TPU bumper (bumper as in real sense) or this bumper here :

Thanks for this Feedback on this. Even i am waiting for a blue google official bumper from eBay. I have been using the ringke fusion for more than 6 months now my back has got lot of scratches that's the main reason I want something else, I really like the feel of the ringke fusion in the hand.

Just want to ask you how is the build quality and fit of the bumper case replica and is it getting dirty? Heard lot of complaints like that. But still want to get it, bored of black. Want to go little colourful with the blue. Little bulk not an issue if it fits well.

I have tried also the side bumper you mentioned in the link above. I got a one from eBay the fit was good but the feel of holding it in hand for using it didn't feel a nice ergonomic. And the buttons were too much responsive which was the main issue for me.

LG will not slash N4 prices for sure as there is no more production going on & the handset is also selling well. Google slashed prices just clear the stock as fast as they can.. they were already selling it subsidized so slashing more prices was not a big deal for them anyway.

LG optimus black is still selling on FK for 14k approx.... such an old handset.. so why they will slash N4 ?

hey guys , after seeing most of u moving for nexus 5 , i am again in dillema :(((((

the thing is , my budget is 22-24k ( and it will remain same even after 6 months)...

now with diwali offers n4 is available for 21k (by using their diwali coupouns ). , and anytime this week n5 woould be launched , and u know with n5 launch n4 prices will be dropped ...

so should i w8 for n4 price drop , or go with n4 diwali sale :P

also if n5 launches for 26k , then n4 for 21k wont be worth .... , so guys how long should i wait before buying anything .. aaaaaaaaaaaaa . confusion , confusion .....

and , u guys think that n4's s4pro(adreno 320) wil handle any high end game thrown at it for around 1.5 years from today ???

i know , it will get updates .. but still getting an old hardware for 21k , is it worth it ???

edit : i was thinking , s4pro with 720p res , s 800 with 1080 res would perfrom marginally equal >?? and do u guys notice any crisper text going from 720p to 1080p , cause pratically a human eye cant differentiate >289ppi from 6cm range ... and i dnt care bout camera quality , i barely use phone camera ..

[Nexus 5 General] Prashanthme:
Well no wonder Google dropped the price in US before N5 was announced. Giving a hint of N5 appearance. But they dint reduce in India may be cause of it might be late for N5 to appear in INDIA... Waiting for Flipkart to put "PREORDER NOW" :P..
[Nexus 5 General] srt99:
nexus 4 for 21k is a pretty good deal..

but if nexus 5 is launched for 25-27k then there would be no sense in buying nexus 4..

wait for google to officially announce the nexus 5 and it's pricing in usd..

then decide which one to go for..

i strongly believe that n4 can handle any high end game even after 2 years from now..especially when you overclock the gpu and cpu..

one of the kernel in nexus 4 can overclock cpu to 2ghz and gpu to 512mhz..that will certainly improve gaming..

snapdragon 800 is powerful then s4 pro..even if s4 pro is used at 720p and 800 at 1080p..

off screen benchmark of both the processor suggests that snapdragon is better and powerful than s4 pro..

1080p screen is always better than 720p display..

ppl say eye can't see pixels at 300ppi..but that is a huge generalization made by apple..

you can note the difference when you compare side by side a 1080p display and a 720p display (both display of the same type of course)..

for example you can notice the difference in display of galaxy s3 and galaxy s4 easily..

but that doesn't make 720p bad..but just not as good as 1080p
[Nexus 5 General] IllUMINATUz:
Coz I think that since android is based on linux, they didn't update their kernel and I may be wrong here 90%.. but what most people say is that the video is a device that's a prototype and it's an old one showing keylimepie and not kitkat.. hence, when they will release it for sale, I'm hoping to see 3.8 kernel..

Guess what?? The galaxy nexus launched atleast 3 years ago is sweet enough to work 4.2.2 and nexus 4 will come till atleast not just kitkat, but till l.. m.. n.. also.. I am using a quad core tegra device with just a gig of ram.. and I'm running it pretty awesome.. so I don't see much of a gain here switching from n4 to n5 except the better hardware..

If I root my device.. I'll run kitkat.. maybe l... But not m or n.. coz they may include 64 bit designs. Hell what if kitkat 5.1 has a 64 bit support?? Keeping these things I mind, I say grab a n4 and wait for 64 bit..

Just my opinions people..
[Nexus 5 General] Shubhamqweasd:
thnks man , i completely agree wid u ,..

ill be buying a n4 after a weeks of n5 launch .. :D , hoping to use it till my b.tech gets over :D
[Nexus 5 General] IllUMINATUz:
But also remember.. the n4 may be out if production!! It's no longer sold by Google in u.s.a. so I think that they are pushing off stocks while it lasts and of you are having issues, you may not get another piece or a part.. just telling you the whole thing so that you are unbiased..
[Nexus 5 General] csharpDev_NexusFan:
I don't know whether Google will release nexus today.. but in India it will be few months delay.
