Hey [MENTION=2759539]shhbz[/MENTION] any update for the piston headphones from aliexpress....

I did have the tracking number but when I try to input I don't get anything
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well mine showed fine till it was with Hong kong post but seem it has entered india and speedpost has not updated yet but most probably it's almost seem like will receive it soon as you see the waiting period is with the courier in china as the seller ships it fine but it remains with the courier for 10 days or more then it reflects as the tempered glass i bought though shipped earlier still not showing up so they said that the courier has been delayed and they have sent a request for immediate shipping.

Did u bought on 19th itself
[Nexus 5 General] rohit25:
I got it on the 19th itself .... Am hour or 2 before you purchased it....
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well if its from the same seller did you check the courier status before as mine showed fine if not ask the seller about the update as I said my other product was stuck bought from other seller so yours may be the same case request the seller for an update on the courier and by luck i have made my purchase from right seller as they are prompt in their reply
[Nexus 5 General] rohit25:
I bought from the same seller as you.... The link that you had posted for the tangman or something similar seller .....

Will check again once I reach office
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
well just leave a message to the seller he will update you about the progress its tangtown store i blv
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Well, it's been 40 days since I had placed an order for Mi3 Tempered glass at aliexpress and it has still not reached me... I guess it's time to open a dispute ^_^.. The nexus 5's tempered glass reached within 3 weeks..
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
I placed order for a sandisk 16gb dual microusb pendrive on 2nd and it arrived today...:p very fast amazon guyz :)

Running miui6 on mi3?
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Yeah, amazon and flipkart (WS Retail) are the best in terms of shipping duration. But this aliexpress is an international order + it's free so can't complain much :p

Nope, latest stable.. MIUI 5 v23.

lol it seems the cheap stuff internationally needs patience and I see that your signature mi3 on miui6 so is it stable for you and does the phone heats up a lot in normal use

@vin4yak why did you ordered one tempered from ali you shd have gone with ebay rather
[Nexus 5 General] doctor_droid:
Mi3 on miui v5 ...stable one ...as said by vinayak..i have no mi3...i hope i had one :p
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
I had bought Mi3 in the very first flash sale.. EBay or any other local online retailers didn't have nillkin at that time.. So I went ahead with Aliexpress.

I guess that this is a useful app coz it stops all the logging and thereby improving performance & keeping the privacy intact..

Sent from a Paranoid Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Hmmm... Interesting. It may be correct on the privacy part but it doesn't do anything in terms of increasing the performance for sure.. What the app does is prevent the log from writing(creating a log) on the ram/disk which doesn't have any impact on performance.

What actually takes processing power is 'calculating' the log. This is done by all apps which have it enabled irrespective of this 'stop log' app installed on your device or not.

Even when it comes to privacy.. AFAIK, all the apps than have access to logs can only compute/save/send info such as decive name, rom, kernel, crash reporting, etc to the developer.. Logs can't have anything else other than that. So, if you're skeptical about sending such info, then this app will be helpful in terms of privacy... Otherwise, it's pretty useless IMO..

[Nexus 5 General] :
Has anyone raised a RMA with a device that has scuff marks on in? A friend of mine dropped his a few times in the past (couple of months back) and has a few marks around the edges (plastic bezel) The device was working fine but has started to heat up a lot for the past week or so also there are issues with the charger and light bleed.

Does anyone know if Google will replace it or charge him for it?

[Nexus 5 General] kaushikd:
I bought the Xiaomi Power Bank and it got delivered 2 days ago. It charged my N5 twice, from around 15-20% to full charge and Mi3 from 10 to 100%, and there is still some charge left in it. Pretty good it seems. And the output was also around 1000-1300 mAh. :)

[Nexus 5 General] Sukrith:
Guys I had a chat with play store India... They said that the replacement of a display or water damaged phone is not available in India and that according to US policy the device that is sent back will not be a new one or the handset you bought,repaired but a refurbished one... Also they told me to contact lg to know if they'll do a free repair or not...

[Nexus 5 General] Sy1ar:
Xiaomi Piston
[Nexus 5 General] nitinvaid:
are they the genuine ones?

i dont think so
[Nexus 5 General] Sy1ar:
it is genuine, sold by WS Retail, the only official seller of Xiaomi Products in India

got 1 Xiaomi Mi3 and waiting for Redmi 1S to be shipped from the same seller
[Nexus 5 General] nitinvaid:
I know WS retail but if they are genuine

It should be in xiaomi accessories section

Well

Do post they review when you got it

V2 is of gold color let us know about yours

This is the SoundMagic ES18. This can be a good alternative to those Pistons but without Mic. I'm currently using this with PowerAmp and Faux Sound(ElementalX), output is awesome, Bass is amazing too. They give a pouch too!
[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
I had owned one(green) and no way its close to Piston but yes its a decent one you referred but Pistons 2 is just amazing the bass,treble,high and low,the noise isolation

My problem with the Pistons was the mic, it just wasn't that good for the person you're talking to and it's awkward position in the middle of the Y meant I would often hold the mic up to speak into it.

I unfortunately lost mine in the office but now I'm over it and glad to be back to my trusty old phones only worth half as much.

[Nexus 5 General] shhbz:
Well it was for student who have flipkart first account and not for normal Flipkart first account user as I myself have a flipkart first account.

Only students are allowed special discounts and many bought it too my mistake i skipped to specify students [emoji12] since your last ques was based on student and flipkart first so i answered as offer for student.

The student registartion for flipkart first was only 250 but I dont if its still valid and still you can register as a student if you are one just send them your student id and the account will be converted to a student account in 3 days where you get few extra discounts and offers from ws retail

Though i find the service to be good and worth,still if not satisfied ask for a return simple they deduct for a month and pay u back d rest

hey guys

i need some help

i have installed around 150 apps on my device and yes i use titanium backup to backup them

but the prob is that i have games like fifa14 injustice modern combat 5 respawnables etc

so titanium backup only backup the apk i guess and not the data file

coz they are over 1gb

maybe it does backup data but when i restore my apps with data only my apps and games that do not have additional files get restore with data...

not these games

I'm on mahdi and want to be on cm11 s port

but i dont want to download them again

any solution?

cheers ?

---------- Post added at 10:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Dude.. TiBu backs up data files as well. It's the obb files which you need to backup manually. Go to /Android/obb/ and backup all the game folders on to your computer.
[Nexus 5 General] Prattham:
okay so how to restore them after flashing new rom

i mean i backup them with titanium the restore them and plus put the files manually in the obb...??
[Nexus 5 General] Sy1ar:
yes thats the procedure, if you downloaded the commentary in Fifa then you will find it in Android/Data, the the game file is in Android/Obb

rename one of the folder if copying in same location on your computer because both have the same name on the device, when copying back to device, undo rename, or copy both folders in separate location on your PC

just remember the actual folder from where you will copy, because some games store in obb folder and some in data folder
[Nexus 5 General] Prattham:
thanx dude
[Nexus 5 General] vin4yak:
Wait.. What?? Why are you wiping your sdcard before flashing a new rom?

You just need to wipe system/cache and dalvic then flash the new rom... Your /sdcard/ won't be touched at all. So, no need to backup obb folder before changing roms.

I bought my device from playstore in last december.Should I file RMA or anyone else is having this problem?

And if I should RMA..is it right time for RMA?

I mean..as per the rumours Nexus 5 (2014) will be coming next month..If I RMA that time,are there any chances they would give me Nexus 5 (2014) if 2013 isnt in stock?

Nexus 4 because of its the future proof updates and most of the Android 4.4 test builds are tested in it. Second option will be HTC One (with CyanogenMod).
[Nexus 5 General] BreakShadow:
How much would a N5 cost if it's listing price is 349$. Including import and customs.

Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
[Nexus 5 General] rl421403:
It will nearly cost same as nexus 4 for us. 16 GB model for 25,000-30,000 Rs.

If you are planning to buy from US play store then remember, there will be taxes and shipping charges too. And that will make your phone for nearly $400 USD in hand for a US resident. If you plan to ship this phone from US to India then shipping is nearly 1000-3000 Rs depending on service you choose. And I think custom duty is near 1000 Rs.

Although you can save import duty and shipping, if one of your friend or relative is traveling back to India from US. They can bring your phone with them.

I meant if I purchase myself. If within 25k I'll take it.
