Google checks the home address of your master card. If it's registered at a belgium address, the order gets cancelled. You need a mastercard that is the same as the shipping address. I made an online 'vikingcard' mastercard and placed the address at the package transferring company (mailboxde.com) in my case. You should make a german google account then, and link the mastercard to google wallet, also stating the same shipping address. Use a german proxy or vpn, sign in with german account, and order nexus.

That's how I did it with nexus 4, and how I'm doing it with nexus 5. But still waiting on confirmation.
[Nexus 5 General] Jokebre:
They didn't check mine, just used mailboxde as the shipping and billing address . Suppose it depends on the issuing card company.

Hey guys,

anybody ever saw this screen before? It poped up when I hold down the button on my headphones while on the lockscreen. (If I'm on the homescreen it shows voice search). A voice says "bitte warten", but nothing happened, at least for about five minutes.

Would be great if somebody knows what it is.:thumbup:
[Nexus 5 General] :
I had that, too. I'm curious what it does.
[Nexus 5 General] Koosalagoopagoop:
Anyone know when/if the 32 gb version will be available in retail (Saturn, Conrad, ...)???

I don't understand why only the 16 gig one is available, both in Austria and Germany...
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
Just found that thread. Not live in Germany, but ordered there to mailboxde. How many of you did order 32GB black on 2nd and still waiting? :) I'm just curious. It's 12th day of waiting...
[Nexus 5 General] Wengard:
I ordered on the 6th. They were supposed to leave the warehouse yesterday on the 12th, but I didn't get any updates yet. When was your order supposed to be dispatched?
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
22.11, but I see many people get their devices sooner.
[Nexus 5 General] Wengard:
That's weird, considering you ordered sooner than I did.
[Nexus 5 General] djhoomi:
i have a google support answer saying my order is delivered successfully, but the phone seems not even shipped yet. Order is still pending and will leave warehouse 22/11.

That's what i call - FAIL -

:eek:
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
Did they take money from your bank account?
[Nexus 5 General] djhoomi:
no, nothing
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
I ordered mine 2nd november, still no update. Said it will ship in 2-3 weeks, but no exact date... Should I wait or try to contact google?
[Nexus 5 General] EkimPadd:
My Nexus 5 has dead pixels so i requested a RMA. Email says shipping in 4–5 Weeks.....
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
Did you have to send your phone or can you keep it until the new one arrives ?
[Nexus 5 General] EkimPadd:
You first have to call google support germany. For verification the person will ask for your IMEI, serialnumber, etc.

The employee will send an email with RMA and UPS label.

According to the email (Translated):
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Do you need to call, or can you just send a mail? I'm letting mine ship over from germany, and that's against the policy of google. But I'm afraid if I get a faulty one, I won't be able to replace it, also, my german isn't top notch at the moment.
[Nexus 5 General] EkimPadd:
Yes, you need to call first. I called the google support team (outside germany) with skype, because calling the google support team is totally free ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Thanks! Can it be in English? And also, would they ship the new device to my belgian address? :(

My battery life is simply brilliant on franco.Kernel. I had 32h before I charged yesterday :D
[Nexus 5 General] k1x1987:
bad reception?

I upgraded from Samsung Omnia 7 to Nexus 5 and i was hoping that i will get a device, which has better reception.

But i have noticed, that the nexus even has the worse reception, than my Omnia 7. Unfortunately the Omnia 7 itself has not the greatest reception, too. So i am a bit dissapointed.

I travel daily by train to work and one section of the route has very poor signal. While on this section nobody gets any signal. But quickly after the section my omnia got back the signal. While the nexus only gets back GPRS/EDGE and i takes far better signal to get back HSDPA (so the train has to travel far more) than on my omnia.

I would like to know if this normal and no fault (RMA)? Which would means that the nexus (brand new device) has worse reception than my very old omnia -.-

How is your recpeption in areas where it is generally very bad?

Thanks for your answers :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Jokebre:
I think It just has poor reception unfortunately. Indoors anywhere I can nearly never get 3g and outdoors it takes ages and even then it's not a strong signal. My area has 100% 3g coverage so must be the phone.
[Nexus 5 General] k1x1987:
something like poor battery life caused by the small battery is ok for me and even the apparently bad camera. But why the hell didnt google/lg manage to get average reception on this phone.

i cant unterstand that.
[Nexus 5 General] Notechis:
apparently bad camera - never noticed that , never noticed bad battery life

Nexus 5 Sell

Hello.

I want to sell my Nexus 5 32GB black. It was used for one week and is in top condition. The bill is also included. So who is interested should write an email.
[Nexus 5 General] -Gerto-:
The Nexus 5 (white, 16GB) I ordered on wednesday was shipped yesterday,predicted shipping date was the 22nd.

A little frustrated that according to the tracking it was shipped from Eindhoven, The Netherlands; Which is very close to where I live.

Now it has to be sent all the way to West Germany and after that all the way back to Belgium with a forwarding service >_<
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Still no word of my order I placed the 2nd of november. 32gb but still..

Anyone else here has that high waiting time? It's been 2 weeks now..
[Nexus 5 General] Koosalagoopagoop:
Bumping my question cause noone answered. Please guys I need to retire my HTC Desire. Does anyone know when The N5 32GB will be available in retail? The 16 gig one has been available for weeks now and there's no info when/if the 32 gig is gonna be available...

I cant buy from the Play Store so I'd like to buy from Saturn maybe...
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
2nd Nov. 32GB Black, still waiting.
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
That's a relief! Thanks! But sucks :(. Hopefully this week though..
[Nexus 5 General] Jokebre:
Mine also came from the Netherlands, Venlo.

Strange they keep their stock there :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Was the same with nexus 4, strange they don't sell the 32 gb version there :/
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
Yeah. USA gets shipping info on 4th orders...

[MENTION=4419114]rovo89[/MENTION] was searching for one. WE NEED XPOSED!!!!1
[Nexus 5 General] nemrah:
How did you manage to do this? I've been trying several times but my order keeps getting rejected. I think the belgian cc is no good.
[Nexus 5 General] Jokebre:
Depends on the card, they don't all work. I was lucky mine worked without a problem. Used a beobank visa card. Some people on here had no luck with a master card either. Ask everyone who has a card if you can use it till you find one that works :)
[Nexus 5 General] -Gerto-:
I used a Belfius Mastercard , which works, also it's a Google Account that did not have any other purchases tied to it.

My Argenta Mastercard + American Express didn't work when I tried to purchase the Nexus 4, didn't try those now.
[Nexus 5 General] Dlog:
Try searching for something german that can't be translated. You'd be surprised how often that happens (for instance with city names).

The next big problem will be that i'd really like to search in german AND english. Not going to work either....
[Nexus 5 General] nemrah:
Great! Mine is Belfius too, so it should be ok. What address did you use in google wallet?
[Nexus 5 General] -Gerto-:
Billing address: I used my Belgian addres, with a 0 before the ZIP code and as country you're forced to select Germany (so, not sure if this made a difference or not - Format is basically "Meir 1 Antwerpen 02000 DE ;)" (not my real address :p))

Shipping address: Mail forwarding service :)
[Nexus 5 General] Jokebre:
That doesn't look suspicious at all lol :-p

Using the forwarding service address for shipping and billing address works too.
[Nexus 5 General] K2000:
I also live in Belgium and ordered from the German play store.

I do not have the device yet, let's hope that everything goes according to plan in the end...

Story so far:

- Created a new "German" google account. (I could not make mine work, even changing all the possible options to germany everywhere...)

- On the wallet part, both the billing and shipping adress were of mailboxde.com

- ING credit card

- Ordered on the 31st with the prediction of shipping on the 8th of November.

- Even though it said that I should receive a confirmation e-mail, at no point did I receive such e-mail (I waited anyway...)

- On the 5th, I received an e-mail from google with a tracking number! On it's way to germany :)

- I foolishly only transfered founds to mailboxde on the 6th and it took 3 working days to get there (bank transfer...), in the meantime, phone had arrived and was waiting to be forwarded...

- I could finaly choose the "forwarding" method I wanted and it was sent the next day.

- The status of the deutsche post has been like that since:

The item was posted on Nov 12, 2013 (Postfiliale Haberkornplatz 1, 02763 Zittau).

- On the Bpost side:

12/11/2013	17:37	Item accepted in network	INTERNATIONAL POST

- I belive it will only change status when it gets into the country...

Like others have said, from the Netherlands all the way across Germany and all the way across again is certainly not the quickest and efficient way to do things :silly: I hope google opens the play store to more countries very soon.
[Nexus 5 General] Jokebre:
Hope so to, that would make life easier for sure.

Will take about 2-3 days from DE so should have your device soon :D
[Nexus 5 General] kosmasgr:
Waiting mine this week. From Nuremberg to thessaloniki :D

[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:

[Nexus 5 General] ironman159:
Yesterday I ordered a 32gb white version also and the e-mail said that it's going to leave the warehouse by 22. November in Dublin.

What is in your e-mail?
[Nexus 5 General] lmedinas:
You have so see your status on Play Store, they sent me a second email saying it was dispatched. Mine is already on the way to be delivered (checked UPS site).

I hope your get yours soon. :)
[Nexus 5 General] kissme99:
Hi there,

my friend from Germany ordered for me Nexus 5 32 GB black verison today.

He received mail that he has to wait 2-3 weeks for this phone. (and it's from Dublin)

How do you think, is it true? Or maybe everyone receives this mail but the packet arrives sooner?

PS: he lives in Frankfurt Oder. How do u think, is it possible that the Nexus will arrive this week?
[Nexus 5 General] djhoomi:
Ordered mine 2. november, but still nothing received, so i think you will wait 2-3 weeks
[Nexus 5 General] rboy28:
No, it will not start from Dublin, Ireland. That address is only where it is purchased from. The delivery will start somewhere else I think (Netherlands I heard sometimes)
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
Well... My order from 2/11 so that probably mean two things. People who ordered to mailboxde... wish you more luck. And anybody who ordered 32GB Black, check your bank account
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Your order what? Missing a verb there? I ordered with mailboxde, what do you mean?
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
Haha, sorry. It was late, I was typing from phone and I was pissed. My order got canceled :/ I mean... ok could live with it if it was after a few days, not after 16...
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Oh, I do not want that to happen, that sucks badly! Still no update on mine though :(

Was you credit card registered on the shipping address?
[Nexus 5 General] kuba144:
I typed mailboxde as billing adress and shipping adress. My card wasn't obviously registered to same address as mailboxde. Many people got their phones with this data, but thats for early orders. I think that they have improved verification or something since then.
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
With my nexus 4, they also cancelled it and I did some research. Generally, google checks some info about the credit card. If the city and street number registered on your credt card does not match the shipping one's, the order gets cancelled. But that's only with major credit cards, some credit cards don't use this verification system. I made an online prepaid master card and put it on the address of mailboxde. That's how I got my nexus 4 to ship, and I hope my nexus 5 as well. Maybe it's worth trying? Although the waiting time would be even longer, that sucks badly :(
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Ha just got mail my nexus 5 is being shipped to mailboxde, seems today new batches get shipped. Hopefully not a faulty one.
[Nexus 5 General] rboy28:
Which model?
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
32gb, black

Hey my german nexus fans!

Did you see this awesome Nexus Wireless Charger? Any speculations on when it will be available in germany?

I've ordered a tiny qi charger from amazon, but it's neither as good looking as the nexus, nor does it have a magnet or a sticky stand.

Would anyone like to order some from the U.S.? Maybe we could arrange sth.? Does anyone of you have a trustful contact there? :)
[Nexus 5 General] Silent-Rat:
I would like one, but i will be waiting at least another 2-3 weeks till my N5 arrives. But i guess till then the Nexus Wireless Charger available here in Germany too.

Just a waiting game.
[Nexus 5 General] Burrid:
Nexus ships today! (Though still needs to be sent to belgium)

[Nexus 5 General] mantakos:
ohh ok. hope it doesnt take 3 weeks since there are many who got their phone much sooner.
[Nexus 5 General] Chad_Petree:
I hope it will be available on the German Play Store! I have hope it will be because this time the page says coming soon, previoously with the Nexus 4 wireless charger it said "not available in your country" :silly:

Important question:

I live in Belgium and I've let my N5 ship over from Germany (german proxy, german credit card, google play store with package forwarding service). So when I receive a faulty device, will I be able to RMA the device? Will I need to be able to talk german on the phone? will google send the new device to belgium? Very important for me as I will get my N5 tomorrow.

Hello!

Hello all. I ordered the Nexus on 6th of november. At that time it show me that will be delivered în 6-8 weeks. A week earlier the delivery time on the Play Store(when I tried to buy another one) was updated to 2-3 weeks. My question is: It is possible to receive the phone in 2 weeks?
[Nexus 5 General] kissme99:
Does anybody know why do we have to wait for 3-4 weeks for the shipment?
