No good sellers avbl

though citi is providing a good discount there is no good sellers in ebay for N5. either they are overpriced or have very few feedbacks.

gtronix has listed only white version shipped after 16th december (long wait!) but not black. i think citi promotion ends today. :(
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
It just says that you have kept your WiFi on for that amount of time. In your case it looks almost all the time it was on.

Its not a big issue. If there's a feature present in your mobile it will consume some battery even while not using it. Even if you are out of your WiFi range it will continuously scan for a WiFi if available.

You can always turn it off when you don't need it.

Apart from that its not a major battery consumer really. :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
Has anyone received replacement from play store on RMA? Also do I have to pay anything extra for this?
[Nexus 5 General] vishnuk15:
Sorry, I have turned it off. It was not switched on until I had reached office. Can I get some traces to convince you? ;) If it was switched on I would have not posted the problem here. It's says that I've always switched it on. Plus I'm not worried about the data usage. I'm was wondering why it's showing it as switched on even though I manually go and switch it off.
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
Ohh that's weird and perhaps a serious issue.

If things don't go any better and there's a serious battery issue I guess you will have to try a factory reset.

Or else the last option is to get it checked and ask for a replacement!
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I am anxiously awaiting my replacement. The courier man said it would be delivered to the hardware partner tomorrow afternoon. Assuming 2-3 days for investigation, the new phone should be dispatched early next week.

As far as I know there are no extra charges for replacements.
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
Turn off WiFI scanning in settings and then check again or else phone will continue to search and scan for available WiFi connections and will consume battery. See if it helps otherwise call technical support.

power or volume key noise

Posting my battery stats for my Nexus 5 here (White 32Gb). Using Franco's kernel (R14) , stock ROM. 3G enabled the whole day

.

Managed to get 22 hours later. Right now I'm running a new version of Franco's kernel (R16) now. Let's see if it performs better.
[Nexus 5 General] MoonBlade:
my refund was initiated 4 days agon Dec1 still no refund.

this is ridiculous..
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
So battery sucks big time! Only 3 hours 8 min... My G2 gives 7.5 hours on screen easily with over 24 hrs unplugged even on 4.2.2.. Dont know what it would be on 4.4

I know G2 has a larger battery 700mah more but listening about battery optimisation in kitkat even then Nexus 5 is just above half of what i get of G2

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] athulpmenon:
I have no idea why these people are taking so much time.... They are going to lose a lot of business with So many pissed off people
[Nexus 5 General] Tachyon1986:
Battery life is subjective. There are users who are reporting 6 hours of SOT with this kernel , and too with 3G enabled the whole day.

I used 3g only during my testing period, heavy browsing and Youtube. It was enough to get me through the day.

Again, if you turn off Location Services and Google Sync , you will get even more hours out of this. I had mine on btw.

What condition is your SG4 in :)
[Nexus 5 General] rohankumar.112:
Been following this thread for a while, hoping someone can help me out. Just saw that the 32GB black N5 is available on the play store. Was thinking of going for it, and the delivery time works out well for me cause I have a couple of exams coming up, so won't get distracted..

Would you guys recommend getting it from the play store over say, getting it from a retail outlet? I'm a bit worried about all the defective units you guys are talking about, and the RMA process.

I'm hoping since Google have listed 'leaves warehouse in 4-5 weeks' this might just be a new batch of units.

Any thoughts/advice?
[Nexus 5 General] athulpmenon:
Yeah i dont think they will give the interest:p....But surely they are making a lot of money with all our money in their accounts for such long time...
[Nexus 5 General] bhavin23:
Bought Black 32gb nexus @ 33k locally :)

Only issue is power button rattling when the phone is shaken (i am ok with it) , will find good case to overcome the problem.

Its blazing fast :) :D
[Nexus 5 General] MoonBlade:
i just had a talk with ebay customer care. they said that after refund has been initiated there is a 5 day cool down period and then the sixth day they will be sending request to bank to refund amount to our account.
[Nexus 5 General] athulpmenon:
Yeah thats exactly what they told me too.. What the hell is the cool time period for?? They are just frustrating us..I mean its 30k not a small amount..:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] MoonBlade:
thats it for me no more ebay.. i will wait till its available in flipkart. much better and faster delivery here at my place..

Loudspeaker on N5

I need feedback for loudspeaker on N5:

1. How loud and clear is the loudspeaker when listening to songs or watching movies.

2. How loud and clear is the loudspeaker when talking on phone with loudspeak is on.

I have heard lot of complains that the loudspeaker of N5 is very feeble.

Requesting users who are using N5 to provide their experience with the loudspeaker.
[Nexus 5 General] bigbiceps:
The loud speaker on mine was really good and clear , and loud enough that I could hear it ringing from almost 20-30 meters away with my room door locked!!

(Only with a ringtone called pyxis or something)

But the loudness almost disappears when volume is set at 40% or anything below that.

I would say below 50% volume really sucks for movies or music. Its almost inaudible.

Apart from that , coming to the main issue, my loud speaker is DEAD !!!

totally non functional now, used to work sporadically before the failure.

Got my phone from us play store.

I felt very disappointed :(

Gotta get it fixed for money now.

Anyone got any idea how much it costs for a phone loud speaker replacement approximately ?

Sent from my H@mmerHe@d
[Nexus 5 General] fanil123:
Anyone else facing loudspeaker problem, pls share your experience.

RMA update

my device got delivered to its destination. What next now?? Is there a way to find the status of my RMA ??
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
That's bad man. How did this happen? It stopped working all of a sudden?

Even I have got it from the us play store. I feel for you.

My galaxy device once had a speaker problem. Got new speakers from 500 bucks then. This shouldn't be much more.
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
Yeaa loudspeaker is on a lower side while watching youtube videos and playing music but while calling I found it to be decent enough and is think it's loud enough for calling but there is an issue I found while calling when the loudspeaker is on, the proximity sensor turns off the screen but doesn't turn it on when required....I have set the power button to cancel the call and when I pressed it, it disconnected the call, I have also tried the volume buttons but they were not able to turn on the screen while calling. I think only the power button can turn the screen on when the call is on loudspeaker mode.....anyone else faced the same issue?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
BTW, no point asking this question because we are the probably the first or one of the first owners to RMA our phones.

I am in the same boat as you...the phone was delivered to the hardware partner in Bhiwandi today at 1:30 pm. To quote from Google's email

"After our service center receives the device, they'll inspect it and send a replacement device within 3-7 business days, if it's covered under warranty"

Since warranty coverage is not in doubt (unless there's physical damage) we should be updated and/or receive a new handset by Tue or Wed next week, if not sooner. If I don't hear from them by or on Tues I am calling Google Support.
[Nexus 5 General] ashis.kyal:
Finally got this 16gb beast For my father:rolleyes:

No dead pixels
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Guys, those of you who have purchased new Nexus 5 handsets and have found no dead/hot pixels, please be aware that this display issue can occur even AFTER a few days of ownership. Just because a display is defect free doesn't mean it will permanently remain so. My Nexus 5 had ZERO display issues when received. 3-4 days later, hey presto! One hot pixel for which I RMAed the phone. LG's quality assurance/control leaves much to be desired.
[Nexus 5 General] ankitkhedekar:
Yes we are the first ones its seems atleast in this forum....and even my got delivered at 1:30...lets hope we get our devices next week
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:

Airtel 3G issue

Anyone else having a problem switching to 3G on Airtel? I got my sim cut into a microsim, and I can't switch to 3G. On LTE, it selects 3G and normal 2G works fine, but 3G mode doesn't save the preference. I tried going to service menu and switching to WCDMA only and that seemed to do that trick, only it shows Vodafone IN-AIrtel, and I am like wtf? :eek: Anyway, basically if I switch back to 2G again after that, it goes back to the same issue of not switching to 3G from network modes in settings. Could it be my micro sim? Should I get a new one from Airtel?

EDIT : After looking into the issue, seems its a Kitkat bug of the stock. It happens with some operators and I found some other Airtel users with the same issue. Anyone here with that issue?

3G switch

Hey, I have a similar issue while using BSNL. Though my network changes to 3G (without any changes as you mentioned) there is no immediate effect. I have to wait for few minutes for it to automatically detect the 3G network when I select the so called '3G' option in network mode. It behaves as if though it is in auto mode. When a call comes in if the 3G network is not ample it quietly switches to 2G without call drop, that's one good thing I noticed. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] funtoosh:
I bought my N5 from Google play store India, but it still has option for LTE, just curious if it really has LTE support or not, screenshot attached
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Yes it does. The Nexus 5 is a LTE compatible handset. Be aware that India and China use different LTE bands than the US and Europe.
[Nexus 5 General] server3249:
Airtel sucks balls. Which is why I have finally escaped, I ported out and wish I had done so long ago.
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
As you said that they will inspect and some how don't find the dead pixel mentioned by you, will they return the same device? Actually I am confused because I am only able to see black dot only on blue back ground that too when I look from an inch away from my eyes. I don't want to RMA and then wait for 2-3 weeks and get the same device back.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
The thing is you're supposed to inform the Support person all the details on why you are RMAing the thing. Hope you did so.

I told the support guy approx. where the hot pixel is and under what conditions (screen colour) it becomes visible. It is only 1 pixel but if you look carefully you can see it.

I am not sure if they will or will not return the same device. Since we are one of the 1st few to RMA this handset I guess only time will tell what happens next.

That is pretty much what bugs me about this damned phone. Seriously. Paying a sum of Rs 33K for a handset that develops a fault within days is not what I expect from any manufacturer, phone or other item. I can understand QA issues with large scale manufacturing but when several people complain there's something seriously wrong. I've never had a phone that a LCD faults before. This is my 1st and hopefully last.

It's really, amusing to read hyperbolic praise like "beast" etc. for this POS. LOL! Unless Google has a hardware partner that can up its quality control/assurance this is the last time I will ever buy a Nexus phone. In fact I've held back from buying a Nexus 7 for this reason. I also purchased a Note 3, for the 2nd time.

[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
I have not asked google to process RMA yet. Yesterday I called google and the guy asked me to reset the device and check but it didn't resolve the issue. He sent me a followup mail since I was talking from the same device and I replied back but even after 24 hours no response from their side. I will call them again tomorrow and will ask for RMA.

Seriously this was least expected from google. I am so disappointed.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
You need to call them back, give the support person a reference to the email (tech support case #) and explain the situation.

Tell them you tried resetting the phone and using the pixel fixing apps in the Play store. But it did not fix the fault. Those guys are s**t heads. Since when did resetting the phone resolve dead/hot pixel problems? LOL! So then you insist that you want do a RMA.

PLEASE do this ASAP because you have only 15 days from the day of receipt for a RMA after which you will need to approach LG's service centre for repairs/replacement. Good luck. Let me know how it goes.

Okay so as someone already warned on this thread, a display problem did develop on my flawless N5, a hot pixel at the edge of the screen, noticeable on high brightness in dark shades. I bought it from a LG retailer so I guess I will have to give it to the service center.. I don't want to do that right now, will wait a month and let them get a proper idea of the phone.

[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Sorry to hear about this. You probably read one of my previous posts warning about the possibility of hot/dead pixels. Please remember that the issue can get worse. Some guys have had 3 or more pixel problems and they appear without warning.

What I am really bothered about is the fact that replacements could also have the same or more issues. I RMAed my handset 2 days back, If the new one has problems I will probably consider asking Google for a refund.

Great phone let down by poor quality assurance. None of my phones (been using mobiles since the late '90s) have ever had display issues.
