Have a small clarification. A friend of mine is going to US for a month.... so asked him to buy a N5 for me. Now some of my friends are saying like don't get the phone like that...the service centres in India won't service mobiles bought in other countries. Is it true? What other issues one might face.. if a mobile is bought in abroad.. and brought back here??? :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] shamps:
No warranty for a phone bought overseas!!

Cheers!!

[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
You will not get warranty. any hardware issue can occur & u have to pay for the service [ only if N5 launches in India]

If N5 don't launch in India or delayed the launch in India, then service center guys will not service ur phone as they will be not having spare parts & knowledge about N5 officially.
[Nexus 5 General] anshumandash:
It would be interesting to see if this phone really gets released by Nov 15th. I remember during Nexus 4 release, the same statements were given by some people in LG. But they didn't do it till mid 2013. I was waiting since Nov 15 2012 till March 2013 when I bought it from US.

Although the scenario was a little different as LG & Google had conflicts on the price of the phone in India. If LG is allowed to release at what ever price it wants, I think it would release sooner.

Price comparison - LG Optimus G was prices at Rs. 32000 and Nexus 4 was launched for Rs. 26000. Now G2 is priced at about Rs. 40000 (Rs 38000 in Flipkart). So Nexus 5 16 GB should be about Rs. 32000. 32 GB model could cost more. This is just my guess.

I think this is the 2nd actual proof from google that Nexus 5 is ready :P (1st one being "mistakenly uploaded" at play store)

39 k ... :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] shamps:
Read carefully. Its for 3 devices.

Cheers!!

[Nexus 5 General] aa10:
shows 39k for 3 - so around 13k for one device. This is way too low to be the true price.
[Nexus 5 General] shamps:
Its their cost price. Moreover since its only 3 prices, they might have undervalued it on the invoice.

Cheers!!

[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
opps my bad.. but 13k then it's fake for sure..
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
zauba.com never shows anything fake dude. And may be it was for google employees and were not for sale. But by seeing this, I have a bad feeling that it will launch late here in India.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Let's hope then it will launch early. Not like N4 which was launched in May. :)
[Nexus 5 General] masterkdxp:
Which CC you used??
[Nexus 5 General] Rygart1811:
Ah.. so it seems people who ordered 32 GB have to wait bit longer.. now thats sad.. I was hoping to see the confirmation mail today :(
[Nexus 5 General] k1chy:
I have ordered a 16GB Black, so there is no order. Or it depends on the CC payments being processed? We can only guess.
[Nexus 5 General] deepkag:
black 16Gb shipped!!

I ordered around 6AM .
[Nexus 5 General] getmmg:
Looks like only 16G started shipping.. I have ordered a 32G still shows pending.. Damn.. :mad:
[Nexus 5 General] sahilj:
Time of order has nothing to do with it I think. I ordered at 3.30am.
[Nexus 5 General] Web_E:
I booked 16gb at 8am. Not shipped :(

May be based on location or CC? who knows :confused:

used ICICI Debit Card..took some seconds to complete the transaction
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Leaves warehouse by November 24, 2013.

Info

but they have given bluedart's tracking number so that has to count for something right ?

HDFC's CC.

Hmm probably, mine was 16gb.
[Nexus 5 General] masterkdxp:
Hmm mines's too :crying: :crying: :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] abhi06dua@gmail.com:
Mine still shows Pre-ordered. :( Any idea what it could mean?

I ordered two units of Black 32GB.

Also, i used ICICI debit card. Maybe the CC payments are cleared before Debit Card i guess.
[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
i doubt this..

there is no reason why credit card payers will get their's first

anyways plz quote me when your nexus 5 shows "shipped"
[Nexus 5 General] sahilj:
after constant refreshing of the Play Store device page now it's time to continuously refresh the Blue dart tracking page :silly:

I have an online store of my own and I use blue dart for shipping orders, usually the tracking number gets updated in the system to show status at around 11PM in the night! They give you the labels and you assign the tracking numbers to shipments. then blue dart pick them up at takes them to the collection centre where the bar codes are scanned and entered into their system!
[Nexus 5 General] erpardeep:
HaHa :D
[Nexus 5 General] gautham_y:

Clearing doubts regarding the "Pending Status" and the Debited Money on CC

For all those guys asking regarding the "Pending Status" and the Debited Money on Card, Today Morning i ordered a Red Bumper from Google out of enthu, and the money got debited. After a Couple of hours, i felt like RED color wont go with me. So I Cancelled the order and called up Google regarding the Refund. They said that they will take money after shipping alone. They also said that the money will be with the bank till the ship it. I used an ICICI CC btw. A hour after my cancellation, my money got credited back.

So guys, your money is only with your bank till Google Ships. Stop worrying and enjoy the Nexus!!!

Its like Butter. Using it for past 4 days. :)
[Nexus 5 General] souvik101990:
LOADS of things man

I bought the exynos S4 in March

Crappy Touchwiz, crappy Lag, crappy keyboard stutter. Made my life a complete technological mess. And you want things TO JUST work when you spend so much money.

CM or PAC or other beautiful ROMs should not be a necessity as it is to most Samsung users :(
[Nexus 5 General] mihir85:
Looks like this wont happen with nexus 5, since most of the models seem to be working fine. :)
[Nexus 5 General] sidrocks89:
Hi guys, I'm in bit of a quandary.

I've already ordered nexus 5 from US, and now I read somewhere that it won't support support LTE on Indian networks. Is it true? If yes then I'll cancel the order ASAP.

If I buy nexus 5 from Indian playstore will it have LTE support in India? Because I read again that:

As per the specs released, the India (Asian) model won’t be supporting the TD-LTE 40 band, which means we can’t expect Nexus 5 to support LTE in India on the upcoming Airtel/RIL networks.

Both statements I read says that nexus 5 won't support LTE on Indian network, whether I buy it from US or India.

What should I do now? Please reply soon.
[Nexus 5 General] advait16:
I have got an SMS that the amount has been charged so I am assuming it.
[Nexus 5 General] souvik101990:
FIngers crossed man.

A lot of nexus devices have been plagued with HW fails in the past. Hope its OK this time.

The only reason I bought it off the Play Store is to have the RMA option.
[Nexus 5 General] shadowdevil:
Where ever you buy LTE won't support in India..!

Nexus 5 is using FDD technology but our providers using TDD technology..so don't worry.. it won't work anyways..!
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
Buying nexus 5 from India is not worth if its for LTE alone. Like you said, both the versions won't support LTE. We are buying it from India to get the LG india warranty. If thats not an issue, your decision is right IMO

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

I am gonna order this case tonight or tomorrow. searching for something to add with it, cause i am gonna import it through SnS.

I have to buy an IEM too, but I am gonna wait for the black friday deal. Thinking of a Brainwavz or Meelec or a VSonic. Yet to decide model.
[Nexus 5 General] sidrocks89:
So, nexus 5 won't support LTE in India whether I buy it from India or US? Is that what you guys are saying? I just want to be damn sure because I was on the verge of canceling my order few minutes ago. Just wanted to be sure about it. Are you guys damn sure about it? Please reply.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Software update can get it use the tech which indian telecom uses no? just guessing....
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
See there are 2 bands used in India, band 40 is the one used widely which is not supported by both the model, while the other one is supported by the international (read non US) version. But as of I have read, that there is not much use of that band even in India. If you go around a 100 pages back, you will find a lot of discussions on that matter.
[Nexus 5 General] sidrocks89:
Thanks for the information. So What would you advice? Should I cancel the order from US and place a new order from Indian play store?
[Nexus 5 General] :
Not support for LTE is a hardware issue not software. By issue I meant not supported. Our telecom companies decided to bring TDD lte because of its low cost, used in china! Airtel was first to bring tddlte . blame Airtel.

nexus 5 [Indian version] supports : 1/3/5/7/8/20 LTE Bands
[Nexus 5 General] sidrocks89:
So, videocon lte will work on nexus 5 rest of the world version(d281)?
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
yes , it should ..still its not yet released !! hope Airtel changes to band 3 as well :\
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Actually there are two models of Nexus. One for US only (in US play store) and other one for rest of the world.

US use different bands for LTE and rest of the world use different bands. So Indian Nexus phone will get correct LTE support in India. And yes it will support Indian LTE if LTE gets popular any time soon.

Sorry, we were unable to process this request. Any charge will be automatically cancelled within 24 hours. Please try again after 24 hours.

any idea ..?

is it something to do with my sbi debit card?
[Nexus 5 General] zeph_syk:
Guys, the hardware remains the same for LTE on both the devices, if you want to use LTE bands supported in US, flash the RADIO.img and there you have it, if not flash the international variant of RADIO.img to get back the one supported for India.

There is a section somewhere to flash different radio images, to have supportability for different radio bands...

Just my two cent.
[Nexus 5 General] sidrocks89:
I guess I'll cancel the order from US playstore and order one from Indian playstore instead. Better not to have an American version if there's a rest of world version.
[Nexus 5 General] lll_ari_lll:
LTE in india still far fetched, IMO that should not b a deciding factor to spend 4-5k more. But for warranty it might. But since the new 311k batch is being shipped everywhere chances of RMA is low. But for a long run, it's upto you.

If I was in your place and not this much frustrated and eager to get my device, I would have order from USA.

And yes, by flashing radio, you can still switch between different versions, provided there are not any hidden hw/sw locks/patches in play
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
Hardware is not same. Hardware for both of the devices are different to support different bands.

You can not use US version here for LTE and same goes for Indian version not useable in US on LTE network. unless ofcourse if you change LTE chip of board.

Although 2G and 3G networks will work fine.

[Nexus 5 General] souvikroy1111:
when did you order..i mean time and what version 16gb or 32gb?
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
so, some guesses.

play store says black bumper is not available and as per zauba.com, black bumper was never imported.http://www.zauba.com/import-nexus-5-hs-code.html and other bumpers were landed all at Mumbai. So, I am guessing mumbai's stock is for play store and other's are for LG Retailers.

so by this assumption, mumbai peeps will probably get the phone by tomorrow , but only those who have got the shipping mail (not the confirmation order mail)

Just guesses though....
[Nexus 5 General] 143saf:
I bought 32 gb white version in the morning but had to change the shipping address so I cancelled it in the evening and ordered it again.

But I didn't have enough balance in my debit card as the previous 33k had not been refunded yet and it went on "HOLD" and it showed "DECLINED" in the My orders page.

After I got my money back I updated my google wallet with same card and it was accepted.

Now it still shows "DECLINED" in my orders but when I click info below it it shows "PENDING" and leaves wareouse on 25th.

So any ideas why it still shows DECLINED in the first page? I even got a mail that payment update was conirmed.

Which is a multimode multiband LTE chip. It support all global network. Hope our D821 has the same kind of chip. If so a possibility is there to get LTE support in india.

Check the Dbrand skin pages, as per their shipments, there are two different skins for white n black, because they are not of same sizes. They made two different models out of nothing. There might be some internal policies, what I think is that the 820 models contains hidden codes specific to sprint. I have seen someone posted some codes in the 820 model specific to sprint use. Which I guess wont be in the 821 model.
