I don't understand in the first place why you people choose ebay... It's like lol...
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
I understand that feeling mate. I waited for 1 month for ebay to refund and when I got refund, the phone is out of stock. Will try some retailer now and buy it from them what ever colour available.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Sideload it... It does not require root. Simple.
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
that's because the launch date was not fixed for N5 in India and I ordered it on 19th itself. as did not want to wait for long. Now my wait is the longest.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
It's not a myth... Mr. Morril from google said it...

The delivery period mentioned in Play store is just the maximum time they can take (worst case scenario ) . For me it showed 4-5 weeks for Black N5 32 GB but it was delivered in exact 3 days.
[Nexus 5 General] netcitizen:
First day the black 32 gb sold out in play store and so many people ordered from eBay. Also in my case I only wanted black so still waiting.

I would have actually believed that if that would have actually ****ed up my phone but since it didn't, who cares..

Also, give me an official Google android website link which says exactly that?

Definitely. Not using any location services or google now. My phone is exactly the same as it was on 4.4. Anyways, will closely monitor the processes.

After getting annoyed with delays on ebay I ordered Black 32GB model from Google Play on 7th December. The dispatch date was mentioned as 3-4 Weeks from now i.e. 5th January 2014. But surprise surprise . . . while I was taking updates from my reportee's in office I got a call from Fedex guy and when I received and opened the package it was my Nexus 5 :D

Google is just AWESOMEEEEEEE . . . :laugh:

Now guys I need your help in detecting main issues that can be there in an out of box nexus 5 device . . .

Apart from Dead Pixels and Button Rattles are there any other issues that I need to check ? ? ?

Your help and congratulatory messages :cool: are highly appreciated :highfive:
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
For those who are yet to receive 4.4.2 OTA like me :P

"Rollouts are conducted in phases. Typically they start at 1% of devices for around 24 – 48 hours; we watch the return rates and resulting device checkins and error reports (if any), and make sure nothing looks wrong before sending it to more. Then typically it goes to 25%, 50%, 100% over the course of a week or two.

What the percentages mean is that when your device checks in, it has a 1% chance (for example) of being offered the OTA. If it doesn’t (randomly) get an offer, it will never get an offer until the next batch.

OW, once your device checks in and gets turned down, that’s it until the next batch. Mashing on the “check for updates” button just causes your device to check in again, and get automatically turned down again. Think about how that makes your device feel! WON’T SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE PHONES?!

That said, once the new batch does start, hitting that button does give you a new roll of the dice — but once. Since devices usually only check in for system updates every 24 hours (I think? Certainly on a many-hours basis) this can get you your shot sooner than it would happen on its own.

So, mash away. :) Just be patient, and mashing on it more often than once or twice a day isn’t going to gain you anything.

[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
Even LG sells it for a price higher than playstore. This is still an online site. There are several coupon sites on the internet. Search for snapdeal mobile coupons. There is this site cashkaro which gives you cashback on almost all the online sites. Try that. :)

Phone feels good in hand but it gets a bit slippery.

Not on Nexus 5 but on Nexus 4 and 7.

Flipkart now selling 16 GB Nexus 7 2012 for 7,999 Rs only and 32 GB for 11,999 Rs only. If you want to buy this one then hurry. You might not get better deal for this.

I purchased last weeks for 1000 Rs more. :(

Some sellers are offering 10-15% discount on selected mobile phones but not on Nexus 5.

After force upgrade to 4.4.2, my my gmail sync stopped working for about four hours. Now working fine.
[Nexus 5 General] abhi98228:
Where is link to winners list
[Nexus 5 General] XpayneX:
Gmail sync was giving problems to me on 4.4. While connected to Airtel 2G, it used to say that 'googly sync is experiencing problems and will be back shortly'. But was working fine over WiFi! On 2G, I was not getting any emails and Facebook app was not loading.

The problem turned out to be with the Airtel internet settings. When I initially inserted the sim, the mobile data APN was by default selected as AIRTEL LIVE. Had to manually change it to Mobile Office (settings were already there, just had to select it). After that, had no problem with Gmail sync.
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
Got tired of waiting and bought the phone from the LG store for Rs33999, Black 32 GB, 311K no rattle and no dead pixels right now. Love the phone and its screen. The black stock is available in Mulund Mobile store and Antenna Mobile store at LBS Marg.

You dont need to root your phone to perform a sideload. You can do it on a stock rom/no root/locked bootloader. Check out the instructions here

---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:26 PM ----------

Welcm 2 d club...still waiting fr the OTA. Will go for the sideload if it dsnt show up by tomorrow. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
So, finally back in PKL so I called Google India for RMA today but unfortunately they said to update the shipping details and I didn't have any CC :/

In the mean time, I got a call from bluedart for the package for which I initiated the RMA on December 1st. He told me that he can still pick up the device but unfortunately I didn't had the package ready so he told me he can come tomorrow early morning.

Now, guys I need some instructions from those people who have rma'ed it... I have to glue both the rma form and the Google's bill for nexus 5 ? as they said the package is needed to be in the same condition as before.

Also, Should I reset my device, and if yes, should I reset the device and then install the dead pixel app inside? Also, I have problems like : yellowish screen, dead pixel (one and very small) , power rattle as well as volume button rattle. So do I have to write all the problems on rma form? ..

Another question is ... I have no credit card associated with Google wallet right now, should I still add one ? I am sure Google knows my address from previous billing but still should I take the risk? as the CC's is of my friend's sisters, so asking the CC info for the 3rd time is kinda embarrassing for me. Guide please..

that's a "google's" official link? I would have actually believed it if it was even coming from productgoogle boards... but anyways, no problems here so all cool.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
The person is from Google & that is enough.. check the source links also..

I had done this trick at the time of 4.3 OTA, not faced any issues but still...also it's an old trick.

RMA

As i said earlier i was gonna live with the power button rattle in my replacement device, turns out i cant. :p

its really annoying.:mad:

again sending for replacement -_-
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
yeaa I have also contacted them and will be getting another rma device :(
[Nexus 5 General] Ashutosh1313:
Did you get the new rma mail?
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
I m just waiting for that
[Nexus 5 General] iDope:
I am facing the same issue on Vodafone.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Here's what I did when sending the handset back.

The handset should be sent in its original box. Make sure you do a data wipe before packing the phone. Take a print out of the RMA authorisation and insert it in the original phone box. Then pack the box in another larger one preferably wrapped in bubble wrap or other shock absorbing material. If you don't have BW, use newspaper or other material that can "cushion" the Nx5. The LAST thing you want them to do is to reject your claim because you did not pack it properly. So even though this might seem overkill it is best to play safe. You do not need to include the receipt or invoice. BTW it's not a bill.

On the outer box/carton make sure you write the name and address of the hardware partner who is handling your RMA.

And no, you don't need a credit card to RMA or for any operation on the PS unless you want to buy apps or devices. I would suggest using your own CC if you have one, OR only a family members card. Because any random charges or online frauds has the potential to cause misunderstandings between friends. This applies to not just Google Play Store but other online shopping sites as well. Just my 2p :)

Good luck with the RMA.

You know what mate, I crossed my fingers hoping the replacement would be perfect and it is....so far. Fingers crossed.

If it is only the so called rattle that's bothering you I'd accept that very light 'noise' or sound. I'd have understood if there was a hardware issue like light bleeding, dead/hot pixel, colour inaccuracies etc. Because there's no saying if the replacement will be perfect either. It may turn out to be worse. Remember that replacements are from the 310/311 batch and these 2 batches are known to have random defective pieces.

Either ways if you do decide to go ahead..good luck. And do keep us posted on what happens with the replacement.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
Thanks [MENTION=4438668]Sharp-Razr[/MENTION] for the reply... what about the problems? should I write it on the rma form? Also, google support says attach the rma to tthe out box... u sure it'sgood option to keep it inside of the box?
[Nexus 5 General] prateek2888:
Awesome man! Search for "sampat" and you will notice multiple tablets to the same person with different numbers! Was it so easy to win? Damn.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
No, as long as you updated the Google Support person about exactly why you are RMAing the device and the approx. location of the defects on the screen or elsewhere you don't need to insert a note. No harm in doing so. But it's not required..and I did not do it.

If you really want to, take another print out of the RMA sheet and paste it to the outer box. It's not required from my experience.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
I think I ate like 20 of em... :P didn't win :)

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:11 PM ----------

ok thanks, will send it tomorrow. Hopefully will get the new piece soon :D my power rattle was really PITA. it was very very loose...
[Nexus 5 General] Ashutosh1313:
You are right sharp. But the display is bleeding lil bit on my replacement on top left.

Im not gonna give up unless i get acceptable replacement. The product should be worth the money you spent aint it?

Anyways ill keep you posted. Got RMA mail. So packed up the phone now waiting for shipper.
[Nexus 5 General] richiegowtham:
4.4.2 solved the issue ! ..so update asap
[Nexus 5 General] varuntis1993:
I ate 10 and got 1....sampat has won 13 tablets in total, when we asked how many SMS did u send, he said 13 now god and only he know how he made it to that no.

:)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
If there are issues other than the rattle by all means return it. And yes, we need to get value for money spent and it starts with a defect free unit.

However, I believe the 'Nx5' (I don't call it N5 coz the Samsung Note series phones are referred to by N/N2/N3) is serious VFM. You get top spec hardware in a very delectable shape and size for considerably less money than what Samsung or Apple charge for their phones with similar market positioning and specs. I am seriously hooked onto the Nexus range of devices! That's why I bought a Nx7 which was delivered yesterday afternoon. :good:
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
what the hell...... ****kkkkk

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Me too. I seriously hope google actually makes a top high end (no worries abt the budget) smartphone. Like 13mp camera with OIS and all that top ****, LCD3 with dual speakers like the htc one and ofc 3gb ram+ snapdragon 805. So people just actually quit all the ****(samsung yes.) which is in the market and only buy nexus smartphones.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
even if google launch a device as u mentioned in Indian market, there will be people buying samung only, as Google lack one imp factor & that marketing. People don't even know that there is a phone caled Nexus. my so many friends ask me which phone u are using, I tell them Nexus 4 then there faces are like they heard some alien name.. then they flip my phone & say Ohh LG.. :p:mad:
[Nexus 5 General] Sparx75:
It partially resolved it for me. I am gonna get my cut sim changed to a proper microsim. Its causing the rest of the difficulties in switching between network modes I reckon.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Here's what will make me abandon Samsung overnight, and I mean it. I am willing to do it tomorrow and will never look at Samsung again unless they up their game. To be honest just 3 years back I'd have never bought a Samsung. It was always either Nokia or Apple, Motorola or Sony-Ericsson under consideration. To me Samsung equalled junk. :laugh: But how times change. Samsung has done very well indeed.

So here's my very simple wish list: A top spec phone with the latest and greatest SOC say a 64 bit CPU, 4 GB RAM, a large HD display of at least 5.5". I don't care too much about AMOLED or LCD or about the camera as long as it takes good pics like my N3 does. Something that is a direct competitor to the Note series. I wear specs when reading so prefer a larger display. And in a reasonable price band (say 35-40K) to boot though I don't mind paying a slight premium. Hey Googs! Are you listening?? :p

? used phone being sold

Hey guys..I almost bought a nexus 5 32 gb today ,from a local store..The package was sealed and i verified it. On unboxing ,I found that no screen protector was present on the phone. I got doubtful and when I switched on the phone , it did not go to initial welcome screen , but to normal home screen..I tol the dealer that it is definitely a used phone. He then contacted the LG main dealer and he told me that few of products had been restocked or something..I have been promised a new phone tomorrow..Any suggestions? opinions? thanks in avance

29900 for 16gb and 33999 for 32gb best of luck... Not to miss online devices don't have hands free included and price may vary. Only go for playstore...
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
IMO the problem is not Google, they provide the software/OS and probably have a hand in handset hardware and body design.

LG manufactures the handset and sells it thru its own retail channels and the Play Store. The handset body has LG & Nexus embossed on the back, not Google which appears only on the box & the start up splash screen.

I am yet to see a single LG advertisement or commercial extolling the virtues of any Nexus device with the same fervour they do for their own proprietary range of mobiles for e.g. the G2. I've seen full page adverts for LG phones, Samsung, Apple & Nokia phones. But never a Nexus.

And frankly LG as a brand ranks lower than others in the mobile space in terms of 'mind share'. They are better known for their white goods and optical disk burners LOL! :D So yes, other than Android enthusiasts I am not too surprised people don't know what a Nexus device is.

What I can tell for you for sure is once you get a taste of the Nexus you will in all probability stay hooked. I sure am, after buying a Nx5 even if I had to RMA the 1st unit. In fact I love it so much I bought a Nx7! :) My sis in law bought the Nx4 instead of an iPhone 4s last year, cost being the main reason, and she loves it. And trust me she's no gadget freak or tech enthusiast. So as far as I am concerned the Nexus range gets a big thumbs up from me. :good: Cutting edge hardware at a reasonable price point compared to other comparable devices with the same specs.
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Not the same specs... Not good in battery Camera speaker etc... But for the price point its the best in US not in India 33k~$500 Thats 100 dollar more

Got 4.4.2 OTA notification :) it says download available only via WiFi till 15 Dec. Can't I download it via mobile data ? Else I will have to go to office tomorrow just to download the update :D
[Nexus 5 General] dg_nexus:
So checked my Nexus 5 thoroughly and found no major issues related to dead pixels or speaker volumes. There is a slight rattle in the volume rocker but I can live with that and moreover it will go away when I encase it in a well fitted case.

I had kept my phone connected to my Wi-Fi through out the night and to my surprise in the morning the 4.4.2 was already downloaded and was ready to be installed :D

Now my next mission is to buy a good case and a screen guard. Any suggestions guys ?

I know this might have been answered numerous times before but it is hard to locate the particular post or link in these 500 odd pages of discussions :)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I am talking about hardware specs in terms of the SOC - quad core SD800 in the Nx5 v/s the SD800 in the LTE version of the N3. The N3 has 3 GB RAM v/s 2 GB and a 5.7" display compared to the Nexus 4.95". But check the MRP! 33K v/s 48K. Even when compared to the GS4 The Nexus is VFM by comparison. The S4 is a little over 40K with a 5" display, 2 GB RAM, 2600 mAH battery and 4 core + 4 core CPU.

Seriously man, you really expect price parity with the US in electronic goods? Why not compare with EU prices? For example in the UK the 16 GB is GBP 299 and 32 GB is 339...approx. 29900 and 33900 respectively. (1 GBP = INR 100 approx.) That compares favourably doesn't it?

http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/buying-advice/mobile-phone/3476780/nexus-5-where-buy/

Closer to home, Singapore prices as per this site are $698 (32 GB) and $620 (16 GB) which is INR 34327 and 30491 respectively. Forex rates SG $1 = 49.18 INR

http://www.pricepanda.com.sg/lg-nexus-5-pid1518901/

Now there may be sites where you'll get it for less, but these are just random checks on prices in other countries.

Not good in battery etc. is pretty subjective and in comparison to what? I get excellent battery life from my N3 (~2 days on a full charge) but that's because its got a huge 3200 mAH pack. Yes, the Nx5 fares poorly by comparison, but it is very much in line by comparison to the Samsung GS4.

We must stop being a nation of serial whiners.
