So would you suggest getting a Neo Hybrid ? Where did you get it from and for how much?

I was talking about Ringke slim. Read that it caused scratches while taking it off.
[Nexus 5 General] nishthecooldude:
White phone may get scratches due to its glossy sides...

Ringke Fusion is great VFM...

It was available for 799 on Flipkart now increased to 999...

U can buy from ebay using 150off...

Neo Hybrid u can buy using GEB ebay ...costs around 2k+...

I bought from a friend from US :)
[Nexus 5 General] eshopper:
where to get 150off ??
[Nexus 5 General] nishthecooldude:
Paytm do a recharge of 10...add 10 to get 150off on 750 ebay coupon after selecting it...

It can be used on new ebay accounts only...:)
[Nexus 5 General] anakin009:
Don't buy from

Mobilefun.com

, very bad service... price is less because its without the Delivery Charge, which is another 500 bucks atleast, I had ordered Spigen Ultra Hybrid, it didn't arrive for a month, they rarely reply to your emails and I literally had to spam them with emails and their facebook page to get a refund. I got the refund but only for the principle amount and not the delivery charge :/

I've ordered the same case from Amazon.in now... lets hope that I receive it without any hassle.
[Nexus 5 General] :
So after 2 months with my White Nexus 5 (32GB) , I am really fed up with the glossy sides though i own a couple of cases (Neo Hybrid , Ringke Fusion, Poetic Atmosphere) and i kept the phone in a case since day one still the glossy sides are scuffing . I will be buying a Black version (32GB) from Play Store . I cannot really believe that people are getting refurbished phones on a new purchase ? I had to RMA my device once and the CCE said google never will send you a refurbished device on RMA or a new purchase . I will be first buying the black version and if it reaches here all good and is aint a refurbished one then i will sell the white one . Lets see what happens . Will be posting updates here
[Nexus 5 General] Android_Sheriff:
How can the sides scuff, when inside a case? Doesn't it also depend on the way you use it?
[Nexus 5 General] :
I guess the TPU is hard enough to the sides, The scuffs are not that bad , but still i never liked the glossy plastic
[Nexus 5 General] sam razzy:
If I put any case to my nexus5 will it cause any scratch on the side of volume button or power button ?
[Nexus 5 General] Bigg Boss:
Possible to buy from Google Play without linking the credit card to Google Wallet ?
[Nexus 5 General] ndeeptendu:
buying from google play will be best other's are not giving international warranty
[Nexus 5 General] gautampw:
if I order Nexus 5 from USA, can I claim warranty in India? Will LG replace/repair if anything goes wrong?
[Nexus 5 General] whosaysjohn:
No! and try reading a few pages back before asking such questions....
[Nexus 5 General] gautampw:
Thanks I'm a noob so missed the search button ;)
[Nexus 5 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
To OP Rohan bro,

Can you please mention Warranty thing on first post ( considering if buying from outside country), So might be it will be helpful for lazy people who never checks last pages, Also try to add common things which are repeatating again & again,Just thought to tell you for needy people..

Check out this Handset on Flipkart! - http://www.flipkart.com/item/MOBDQ9VXZMHXZGBP

Nexus 5 16GB (Black) available in Flipkart for Rs.30999. Will be delivered in 13-15 days (when selected location pin relating to Bangalore)

So.. Looks like premium price (assuming playstore won't charge any extra taxes + shipping) as it's not yet released in playstore.. Aimed at early birds.

Delivery 13-15 days shows the seller doesn't have stock of the phone yet. But this may give hint for possible sale via playstore within that period.

Edit: My bad already posted. Tapatalk showed me none when I was posting this.

[Nexus 5 General] I r o n M a n:
I'm currently using the octa core S4, which I'm pretty satisfied with. But I was thinking of selling off my S4 and buying the Nexus 5.

But I recently read a couple of reviews and it seems that the camera really sucks and the battery isn't good either.

Note 3 is too expensive for me to buy.

I'm confused about which phone to buy.

And I might end up not changing my phone at all.

:confused: :confused:

Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Don't be proud of it, it is not a "real" or "true" octa core.
[Nexus 5 General] 143saf:
Seems like flipkart removed the price of this phone and the seller but the listing is still there. They probably realized they were a tad too early in listing the phone as available. :P
[Nexus 5 General] I r o n M a n:
I'm not, which is why I'm thinking of changing it in the first place. :/
[Nexus 5 General] netant:
:good:

no-one is part of flipkart, WS retail is just another seller.....

but its not as wide open for anyone to sell like what we have in ebay.in.

flipkart has ventured into this model in june/july this year, when the company was going through hard time & had to close their delhi office, shutdown Flyte, started selling shoes ,etc

they manage to get $200m funding and rebooted the company in path of making it a e-commerce platform, not like just another online shop.

ebay if full of ROFL now, see this, 41K, http://www.ebay.in/itm/New-LG-Googl...46072?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item3cd7d5ba58

and this one, http://www.ebay.in/itm/Google-Nexus...69818?pt=IN_Mobile_Phones&hash=item20daa7975a , sure it will break 40+ too

:D
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
If you are having S4 then no point in upgrade. Be happy.
[Nexus 5 General] whosaysjohn:
Flipkart had to move to the market place model because Indian laws do not allow fdi in e-commerce firms and sell directly to customers ... They are allowed only to operate on a b2b model... They are not in a bad position considering their owners earn almost 10cr salary... They will take their time to become profitable... It just getting people to buy online through discounts and more buying options...

[Nexus 5 General] Oneiricl:
I had a lot of experience with Flipkart before this change (used to buy lots of books and even a phone or two). Has anyone experienced any change in the kind of quality or service that they've received from Flipkart since the change? That's my only worry about this new model, since when everything was under their control they were fantastic. I've not bought from them in a while (mostly because I ran out of space for books at home :p).

I'm asking because I may end up buying from them in case Play Store stocks run out.
[Nexus 5 General] AmmarGitham:
Many friends have bought variety of things from flipkart recently, delivery was as expected. No delays.

N5 cases

Please check these in Amazon India:

[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Thats actually more than a couple :what:

Thats 3 cases u got there..n dont buy it from play store..buy it from a LG store or anywhere else..u will get a new one for sure and of the newest batch too :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 General] :
If i buy it from a LG outlet (800 metres away) and it has defects :confused: .. I can deal with RMA and stuff , but i cant really go to a service center 8 kms away
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
I think u can check for defects then n there only..if it turns out to be a defective one ask for a replacement.. ask them first if this is possible or not..btw i haven't heard many cases from the people buying it from outside play store..i think this is so coz google is rotating the defective handsets again n again bw different buyers..some people here have reported that their outer boxes were resealed with tapes..

N I know wat u did there..u just put ur white nexus 5 up for sale..which u cudnt if u posted a straight frwrd adv here coz thats not allowed ..coz I don't see a need of mentioning 32gb :sly:
[Nexus 5 General] :
Nope i am not selling my white nexus here in India , I would be listing it on eBay UK , where it would easily sell for 280~ GBP thats around 29 k ,
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Hmm..thats gud then..so lets hope u get a defect free black one now..

Just Purchased the Phone Yesterday and enjoying and experimenting with it.
[Nexus 5 General] Android_Sheriff:
Hey guys, whats the probability of getting a refurbished device from the playstore? Is it really that common? I'm really worried coz I have already ordered one from the PS. And if I cancel it, how long does it take for the refund. I used a debit card so the amount is deducted but not cleared yet.
[Nexus 5 General] agatonwalle:
Any knows a Good LG showroom in Chennai or i shal order it from play store ??
[Nexus 5 General] Curius7:
Where exactly are you in Chennai?, I bought it in a showroom near Valasaravakkam, there is one in Virugambakkam as well and I've seen one on OMR.
[Nexus 5 General] freak744:
That is perhaps true. But that happens only if the order goes into processing/ shipment after 14 days since placing the order.

If the balance in the a/c is less than required when the second authorization takes place, the order goes on hold until enough funds are added to it.

Press Thanks if I helped you :)
[Nexus 5 General] Android_Sheriff:
Well, thank you for clarifying that. But I guess Google saved me the hassle by shipping it the same day! Waiting for it to arrive and keeping fingers crossed! May the device be a new, non-defective one.:fingers-crossed: LOL!:D
[Nexus 5 General] agatonwalle:
I live around Anna nagar :) can u suggest me where to buy it ?

i came across a app called HOLA.. is it useful for boosting internet speed and saving data? recommended and used by anyone?

how to use it?
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Alright...this might sound stupid but cant we have notifications for msgs n missed calls etc on the lock screen? ..and a count on the app banner in the app drawer?..like number of missed calls on the dialer and number of mails on gmail icon..coming from an iPhone 5 I miss these features of ios here..
[Nexus 5 General] Android_Sheriff:
I'll probably be getting my device tomorrow. I'm a bit skeptical about the batch number. Just in case it happens to be the 311 or 310K batch, should I just assume that its a refurbished version, somehow defective? In that case wouldn't it be wise to just not accept the package and let the device be returned to Google instead of going through the entire RMA process? I mean is that possible, is there a provision to that effect? I know I'm being a bit pessimistic, but its better to be aware, than to be repenting later on.

Apart from that Super-Excited!:fingers-crossed::D

---------- Post added at 01:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 AM ----------

Can't say if this possible with the stock launcher. Probably not. But hey, who cares? There are plenty of other launchers on the playstore that achieve this quite easily. I would suggest Nova launcher. Try the free version first. For the lockscreen, I'm not sure but I guess, widget locker supports notification count. You can try that, wouldn't harm.

Mind you both these would require the TeslaUnread plugin for the notification count, the way you want it. Google's your friend.
[Nexus 5 General] D!zzy:
The best way to achieve this is to use DashClock Widgets. You can add various stuff to the lockscreen including the missed calls count.
[Nexus 5 General] shadowdevil:
Guys i got my replacement yesterday and Thank God got a perfect device now...:angel:

Really worth the wait..Google RMA process is sooo goood..!:good:

[Nexus 5 General] deathgame:
how to check ? lol
[Nexus 5 General] :
If you're using a custom rom, check under security in settings. There should be an option called "maximize widgets".
[Nexus 5 General] Android_Sheriff:
White 16GB

Its on the box. Check the S/N number, the first 3 digits are the batch number.:good:
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Those who are waiting for Google to release red N5, probably it won't come to India. Remember they don't sell white N7 in India too

[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
How many days it took for you to get back a new device ?
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
You may try Gravity box which is a Xposed framework module for rooted and mainly stock devices. It gives many options including expanded lock screen widgets which you generally find in custom ROMs.

Time To Unlock and Root!:D
[Nexus 5 General] senotrius:
got my new nexus yesterday. still have my four year old sgs1.do nexus 5 in India come with unlocked boot loader?or is it same as international versions. rooting was easier on my sgs1.

Welcome me to the Nexus 5 world. Yesterday bought the 16gb version. Highly impressed with the smoothness and performance. But disappointed on the sound quality. How to improve speaker sound?

Bootloader is Unlockable. Yiu can easily unlock it! See General Section of Nexus 5 Forum
[Nexus 5 General] senotrius:

can someone post a realistic battery review. imagine 8 am- 9 pm day with some wifi+ 3g (whatsapp,fb etc)+ 1-2 hours voice calls + some music. If outdoors then some amount of automatic brightness. with such a usecase how much battery will be left at end of the day.

Dear friends,

Is there any way to take screenshots on the Nexus 5 like in Samsung devices or do I need to download an app from the Play Store to do the same? If I need to download an app to take screenshots, which is the best app for that?

just saw a minor small white spot on my nexus screen. It is in the middle of the screen and it cannot be seen without paying extra attention. What should I do ? shopkeeper or service center ? one can only see that spot on white color and I am sure that is not dead pixel but a small glare
[Nexus 5 General] android_master:
not just better, way better infact. I got a chance to use it as my primary device (LG G2) for a week and this phone is a beast, nothing slows down ever, screen/sound quality/camera/overall performance & battery life, what can I say about it, it is exceptional. You will not be disappointed by this, there is a reason as to why this phone was the best Android smartphone of the year by many reputed websites & bloggers.
[Nexus 5 General] dre@ms:
I installed the Kernel. To control it, downloaded Faux Clock, but when trying to install, it says App not installed. The same things happens with Titanium Backup too. I installed BusyBox, but makes no impact.

Yeah I can see that. when I tried it was great. but i checked xda forums for aosp ROMs of G2 and it is not promising. I have been using CM for couple of years now. Not sure if I can switch to non AOSP firmware. but i have to compromise for better hardware, battery or non aosp software.
[Nexus 5 General] dre@ms:
Somebody on this ???
[Nexus 5 General] freak744:
A complete day can be assured of.

But better not to keep auto brightness turned on. And voice calls are also a battery drainer(depends on which network type you're on)
[Nexus 5 General] D!zzy:
Sorry mate. Dont think there's a way to keep it in expanded more. Search for Dashclock on the Play store from time to time and you will keep finding something new and interesting :)
[Nexus 5 General] starbriganza:
There is a way to keep it expanded. With gravity box in xposed framework there is a setting which allows you to keep all lockscreen notifications

in expanded mode.

okay. am not gonna have auto brightness on all the time. but in outdoors it is useful. I am vodafone which is alright.

Guys.. I'm facing a weird problem with my N-5 black 32 GB which I got on Jan 1st week.. trouble with data transfer to and from phone thru data cable.. when I connect the phone to laptop/PC with the cable, it shows as 'connected as media device' and opens in my computer just as a pen drive. But after browsing for 30 secs to 1 minute, it becomes unresponsive.. the explorer stops responding & I have to remove the cable and connect again! This creates a lot of trouble while transfering big video files and photos in groups.. This I observed about 1 week after I purchased my device.. In fact I dint notice it initially because of plenty of storage space and I used to upload/share pictures directly over wifi..

I tried with stock data cables of SGS3 and note-2.. same prob persists..

Anybody faced the similar issue..? Can anyone suggest some solutions other than factory reset..?
[Nexus 5 General] Techimplant:
Try using a different USB port..if it doesnt work then a different PC altogether..Or try other phones in your pc with same cable..u basically have to establish that its your phone which is at fault..
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Haha 2months + 10days here. Bought it on the first day. For me xposed+franco+catcalysm is the best combo ever.

[Nexus 5 General] jaiiscool:
I am facing this problem, on both my Macbook Pro and a windows laptop. Transferring files is a headache, it stops in the middle and I have to remove and re-attach the usb cable to get it working again. I hope Google patches it soon, happens on custom ROMs too BTW. I am using CM11 as of now and still have the problem.
[Nexus 5 General] Xa3ro:
Relieved to know that, its a software bug.. I was so much annoyed with the prob.. Even tried 3 diff cables with 3 different OS( xp, 7 and 8 ) in a number of PCs and laptops.. Hope the update will come soon..
