Don't apologise. This is a big concern. The main reason for me wanting to buy from Google direct was that if the phone is defective in any way, I am not inconvenienced.

I put in a request to be called and even linked your comment so that I could find out more. I was assured that the policy has changed, but to 5 days instead of 7 days (it says 7 days still on the Play Store), and that RMA still works the same way. I think you should reply to Google Support's follow up mail or ask them to call you again.

Finally received my phone first thing in the morning.

Ordered 32 GB black on 20th Nov at 12:07 PM. Got shipping mail on 24th Nov 6:44 AM and had the phone in my hands on 25th by 12 PM.

Must say that FedEx really seems to be the best out there. Glad that Google didn't ship mine through Blue Dart.

Got 310k model though. :D

Edit: Located near Chennai.
[Nexus 5 General] ProNewb:
hello, someone with d820 US model confirm it works well in india? 3g network?
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
Yes it will work in India but 4G wont run due to unsupported bands :victory:
[Nexus 5 General] Venomous Viper 119:
So I have ordered an LG Google Nexus 5 16GB (Black) on snap deal (I'm from Karnataka btw). It will be shipped by 27th Nov & will be delivered by 1 to 3 days from then on.

The product description in the snapdeal website says that there are no ear phones/head phones in the package. But a user commented that he received an LG branded head phone with the phone. Is it true that every phone will be delivered with the head phone in India? Can anyone that has already received the phone via snapdeal shed some light on this?
[Nexus 5 General] :
The headphones in the package are anyways bull****!
[Nexus 5 General] Codekrypt:
Same as you.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 5 General] Venomous Viper 119:
Is it at least available in the package?! Can you please confirm this?
[Nexus 5 General] ProNewb:
but, is it possible that 820 will use more battery to get a network signals? because of varying bands?
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
No, it will use same battery as any other nexus 5..is has all the supported 3G bands of India

I have written a strongly worded reply to the follow up mail asking them to provide me their escalation matrix for clarification on renegading on their written commitment. Lets see if they come back to me or else I will look for another way to reach out to them. May be some direct mails to their top authorities would help.

[Nexus 5 General] dvsk69:
These are little overpriced. Try the same cases on Amazon.com. They're of lesser price.

They do not ship to India. But you can use any forwarding service like PPO Box. I got my Poetic case for HTC One similarly. Total came out to 1200 for me and they were selling at 1800 on eBay.
[Nexus 5 General] rohit25:

Okay I can confirm this. When I got the phone , there was always a text saying "say ok google" on google now tab on the top and now it's not there anymore. what is up? my language is english US and hotword is activated.

When I had the new , it was there definetely.

[Nexus 5 General] ankitkhedekar:
"Number not found" for me as well. Earlier it was refreshing the playstore site everyhour to see the nexus 5 go on sale.....and now it is refreshing the bluedart site to get the tracking number activated.

[Nexus 5 General] abhi321984:
Yes, I did install Light Flow Lite and tested that it works.

But a small Issue is that Whatsapp is not supported in the Free Version of Light Flow Lite.

So, Whatsapp Messages do not give me a LED Notification if i set LightFlow to control the Hardware LED Control in Light Flow Settings.

I have faced the same situation, I even didn't know there was a shutter sound before I read it today. I have not heard it yet. Along with that, my speaker sound is incredibly low.

Does anybody faced problems with Airtel Sim??
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
What problem are you facing ?
[Nexus 5 General] XpayneX:
Not sure but if it's under Indian warranty then it should definitely have headphones in the box.

Even the Google Play India website doesn't show the headphones as included in-box, but its still there.
[Nexus 5 General] pranav01:
No network...I took new micro Sim from airtel...I will go in gallery tomorrow ..may be its Sim card issue
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
Try to disable LTE in mobile network settings and see if it works, also is your old Sim still working ? May be they have not yet activated your new Sim card

Nexus 5 32 GB black horizontal lines on display

I recently bought a Nexus 5 32 GB Black from Google Play Store India. I find an issue with the display. I can see horizontal lines on the display on looking closer to the screen. Anyone else facing similar issue? Just wanted to be sure that the issue is with my device only before requesting for RMA. It really can't be captured on a camera, but if anyone has seen it already, they should be able to know what I am talking about.﻿

I got the device from 310K batch. Anyone here got 311k 32gb from Google Play Store?
[Nexus 5 General] Vinoth18:
Thanks buddy...gonna try it out in local shops...

---------- Post added at 07:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 AM ----------

Even I installed LightFlow...Even after I attended the incoming call and cut the call the LED still continues to blink repeatedly...Is there a way to control the LED light with in build functionality of 4.4...not like using the 3rd party app like LightFlow...
[Nexus 5 General] ruchirtrehan:
I guess you're talking about some lines which can be seen from top to bottom on display? and mostly on light color backgrounds and when looking the screen from really near rite? It's a common thing, every device has it, iphone 5s, xperia z1, lg g2 and even nexus 5, those lines are actually in the digitizer so nothing to worry about.
[Nexus 5 General] dcosmopolitan:
That's what everybody says but I have not really observed this with any other device. I checked on Xperia Z and Nexus 4 as well but I did not find any such digitizer lines.

I hope this is normal because who wants to go through the tedious RMA process but it seems to be with just my device. :(
[Nexus 5 General] MoonBlade:
buy nexus 5

the empiretronix guy from eBay asks for time extension upto 5th December for shipping the N5. so i declined it. i live in Andheri (East ). Is there any place in Mumbai to get n5 32 gb black ? Any LG stores nearby ?
[Nexus 5 General] ruchirtrehan:
Hmm strange, I did had xperia z previously and I could easily see those lines and to confirm that I had disassembled it and removed the digitzer and the LCD/Display dint had any such lines after digitizer was removed maybe you wouldn't have carefully seen those lines on nexus 4 or xperia z coz those lines are very common due to digitizer.
[Nexus 5 General] anitdang:
It's been 70 hours since the shipping mail but my status still says number not found. I'd lodged a complaint with Google, Got a a mail in the night saying we are still investigating. We will refund the shipping charges. The shipping is free in India. Where do they Find ppl for customer support? Don't know what to do.

Hangouts Fail

Just wondering how many of you guys here find this Hangouts & SMS Integration totally absurd?

I think the very elemental purpose of an IM client is to show the Availability of contacts (Available, Idle) or Offline. Google Talk worked like a charm on my Galaxy Nexus & I never bothered to upgrade to Hangouts.

That's how IM's have been designed to work since their conception. With Hangouts we have No Color Status (Red, Green, Orange). No grouping of Online Contacts to show up first in the list. No Status message and Contact Info either. :mad:

Now with Nexus 5, I'm stuck with no option to switch back to G'talk. This is very annoying. I use G'talk extensively. The SMS integration is pointless for me & I guess many of us out here in India for we have long switched to WhatsApp. :confused:

The Whole App appears bloated and hideous and gets me Clueless about my Contacts availability. Hating it. :mad:

[Nexus 5 General] MoonBlade:
i think there is an option to switch back to default sms client from hangouts. i think the option for default sms handler can be reverted in settings of hangouts app.
[Nexus 5 General] Hamza Mirza:
Those guys who got shipping email and tracking id isnt activated even after 24hours, try to contact google ASAP. I emailed them and see what reply i got. :

" Thank you for the response.

I am extremely sorry for the trouble caused.

The tracking number you received earlier was incorrect one. As we've incredible demand for the Nexus 5 devices, we are trying sort the orders and ship them as early as possible.*

Your patience is highly appreciated.

Please reply if you've any questions.

Thanks,

Now they have sent me through aramex, gave me a new tracking id, and now its out in transit. :)

No issues with my phone, this is a 310K batch handset received on Saturday. It didn't even need a software update. Worked well right out of the box. Yes, the speaker phone volume is a bit soft but its not something that is unusable. Microphone works perfectly on all calls that I made and received.

Just purchased Rearth slim cases for both my Google NX5 and Galaxy Note 3 :). The Rearth It is reasonably priced compared to the horrendous 3K for the original Samsung case.

Blue Dart F***ed Up

Ordered 32GB black on launch day at 8:06 AM, got shipping confirmation on 22nd evening at 7:42PM but f**king Blue dart still not delivered :(.

When I called the customer care yesterday they said it was out for delivery and would be delivered before 7:00PM. Called them twice to both said the same. But they didnt deliver and updated the status as Incomplete address WTF?. Today when I call customer care to check whats wrong they are saying its out for delivery and will be delivered again when I asked regarding the Address incomplete thing call was disconnected.

I seriously lost interest on the phone now. :(. Is there a way I can escalate about their delivery screw ups and wrong updates?
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
guys any confirmation from the ebay seller empiretronix1. Their phones are shut right from today morning and no communication on the status of shipment. I am planning to raise a complain with Ebay. Any one else interested in raising a complain against him...
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
If Blue Dart or Aramex has the phone at their local city office - just go and pick it up from there instead of wasting your time calling them. They will always try and bluff their way thru. FedEx is far, far better.

ebay status now says this - "Shipping

Your order was to be delivered to you by 10-Dec-13. We are verifying with the seller and our shipping partner and will inform you soon on the status of your order."

Hi Guys,

I too ordered on 19th Nov, and my Bluedart tracking number is still inactive....

[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
Which screen guard is better for N5 , matte or glossy? Please advice.
[Nexus 5 General] Sparx75:
Depends on what you're looking for. 16GB you'll find at most of the LG Shoppe Showrooms. 32GB however isn't available yet by LG, though its being shown on the LG India Website. Its expected that stocks will come this week or the next. I am waiting on that in Kolkata.

And I hope the other people who can't get their Nexuses from play store keep updating this thread. Really hate being among the few to keep actively checking this thread though I ain't awaiting any play store shipment.
[Nexus 5 General] MoonBlade:
i want 32gb and yeah completely agree with you.. hopefully waiting for new shipment to arrive..

Finally got my nexus 5 32gb black ordered on 20th at 6 P.M. Yeaa Blue-dart service is bad, it was to be delivered on 23rd and got it today at 12:30 P.M . On 25th when I contacted them they said it was out for delivery but no one came to my home and also no call rec. and I was at home for almost the day, when I contacted them later on they said the guy came but he found the premises were closed.....wtf

So about the device no rattling problem, no dead pixel, no screen bleeding, vibration motor is very strong but there is slight yellow tint on the screen but not a major issue and everyone knows about the sound, so nothing to tell there.

It is indeed very light device.

Got 311K verion nov. build
[Nexus 5 General] redflar3:
I personaly prefer the glossy one. Matte ones often tend to introduce some color distortion and you may not be able to enjoy the display in its full potential..
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
where to check build?
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
Take your mobile box ..goto the infromation sticker...its in S/N section for eg. 311Kpedxxxxx or 310xxxxxx

I'm planning to go for the clear case as I find that the only option to show off the bold nexus logo on the back. Please let me know if the case and the finishing really look the same as in the listing photos and if indeed looks like a 1000 rs case :)

yes ..ringke fusion is awesome :) ...build quality is excellent ..+ you can show off by designing the back yourself :P
[Nexus 5 General] netcitizen:
is cancelling ebay order a simple process or complex ??
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
though the rubberized cruzerlite cases are very effective ,they always look cheap . so in my opinion a hard case from rearth or spigen is a good choice ..but spigen cases are costly in India ..so i was left out with rearth ringke ..and they didnt disappoint me :)
[Nexus 5 General] dvsk69:
Youre right!

With in Ringke...since you have both...whats your suggestion? the hard case or the transparent (Ringke Fusion or Ringke Slim)?
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
build quality is not upto the mark go for spigen or ringke !

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

if you need maximum protection and doesn't care about the bulkiness + show off with your own design ..then you can go for ringke fusion

else if you want the original nexus 5 feel + slimness then go for ringke slim hard case

PS : i think i will be using the slim one for a month or two :) ..really in love with it
