Ordered it online. Says, will leave warehouse by 27th December. Any clue as to what that means in terms of delivery? Around which date should I expect it to show up?

Coming from an S2. Absolutely love the nexus 5. Was missing the WiFi direct feature. For some reason my n5 used to get connected, but no files would be transferred. Totally disappointed. But found an alternative app called Superbeam on playstore. Works flawlessly :D:D

Apologies if this has already been mentioned before.

[Nexus 5 General] :
Warranty is only considered if you have a valid bill/invoice from India. Either from the play store or a local mobile shop/retailer.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
You will receive the new phone on 22nd most probably.

They are back and they are HUGE now. Almost 5,330 units. http://www.zauba.com/import-lgd821-hs-code.html

Guess, playstore will have them soon.

Guys... suppose stocks comes to my locations.. and the batch will 310k so if I got no defects so should I buy or I must only buy latest batch 312k phone?
[Nexus 5 General] :
I guess I will get a piece from 312 k batch . well even if I don't I will be happy with a nearly perfect device without a bigass gap b/w screen and bezel , dead pixels ....

Anyone bought dbrand skins here yet? it doesn't accept my debit card :'(
[Nexus 5 General] :
I bought a slick wrap (glow in the dark) for 8.99$ shipped to India . they have all those aluminum finish , leather finish wraps too
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
for one, it is safer to have 32 gb if you want alot of movies and music !!

and u should know that u get only 26gb...in 16gb version u get about 12-13gb (not sure bout actual capacity but its between there) and it may not be enuf... if u root ur phone, u may need the extra space for titanium backup and CWM backups (which may take 2+2 =4gb) .. also u may want some heavy games,which are easy 500mb per game on an average upto 1.5gb per game so u may need the space !! without titanium backup and CWM backup i have 9gb remaining from 26... so its aways safer to get the extra space for any future use..
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
from dbrand? link..? I am going for one skin with front/back/frame but the problem is my debit card isn't accepted. :'(
[Nexus 5 General] sameer8019:
thank you for sharing ur valuable information with me. thats the reason i ordered 32 gb

Are waah english ki toh maa chod di . HaHa.

You don't take a phone, you buy one.

Customs won't sell you a phone,they handle imports and levy tax on it.

No offense buddy, but it was too funny.

You can buy it(take it) from google play, it's fine :)

Or flipkart is another option(for discounts)

i ordered on november 29 from play store, but am yet to receive my 16gb black phone.

the playstore says it will leave warehouse by dec 27.

would it be a better option to cancel this order, and buy the phone from my neighborhood lg store? is there any chance the phone might be dispatched before 27th?
[Nexus 5 General] Parithosh:
I doubt that would be anytime soon. Are you talking about cash back offers by any chance?
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
why dont u try sliding message or 8sms from play store if u dont want to use hang outs for messaging.. also sry mate i dont think there is a software like kies ! u can root and use titanium backup or use common apps from play store.. also y dont u jus sync contacts in google sync?
[Nexus 5 General] droid@xda:
I bought black 32gb on Dec 3 from Pune at 33.3k. Really good so far without any defect like dead pixel, vibration motor etc. Screen is colder as well than yellowish on friend's nexus 5. Really happy about performance of phone. Its a 311k batch and I had to cancel play store order and buy from local store because phone was out of stock at that time and they were not even fulfilling existing orders.
[Nexus 5 General] bigbiceps:
Yeah they have some or the other cash back thing going on all the time...

Last time they had an awesome standard chartered Bank cash back offer.

People were buying nexus 7(2012) for less than 7k!!!

More recently, Citibank too participated.

SMS Backup+

Which Phone you were using before?

If the other phone is Android, then you can use SMS Backup+ for taking the SMS backup to GMail and restore it back to the new phone or else you can go for SMS Backup & Restore app.

For contacts, you can export the contacts and import it to Google Contacts itself so that it will be in sync always.

(Press Thanks If it helps)

Received my Ringke Slim Black Case for N5 32GB . . . It fits so well that I feel like my nexus 5 is still without cover :P

Quality wise it is awesome and if you take care while putting it on your nexus 5 it will not scratch the sides. As expected it provides protection even if you put your phone face down. This completes my nexus 5.

Nexus 5 32GB Black - 32,999 (Playstore)

Screen guard (Matte) - 299 (Local Store)

Ringke Slim Black - 799 (ebay seller)
[Nexus 5 General] athulathreya:
I see you have the Matte screen guard from a Local Store, Can you tell me your review of it. I have ordered one a from ebay almost the same price. Just wanted to hear it from a person who is using it :D

'Leaves warehouse in 4-5 weeks' !!!

I recently ordered the phone a few days ago when it said "Leaves warehouse by 27th Dec"

The Play store page now says "leaves in 4-5 weeks" :(

Anybody have any info on as to when is the second batch shipping to India?:confused:
[Nexus 5 General] athulathreya:
Ok, so I got a nexus 5 from the US like when it launched and one of my friend got it from the LG store a few days back here and I notice so much difference in the display. Mine is bright white and his is quite yellowish tinted. This you cannot notice if you dont compare it side by side. I even tried with a different phone bought from the LG store here and the same problem. My thought it get it from the playstore even though it takes a bit time. :o
[Nexus 5 General] Parithosh:
I think this new time period is for fresh orders. So I guess you need not worry. :)
[Nexus 5 General] dg_nexus:
The matte screen guard is quite good, it gives the phone that stealth look that it deserves :D

does not attract any finger prints and since the rest of the body is also not so shiny so it fits in quite well

In my personal opinion matte also protects your eyes to some extent as it filters off the shine or the brightness of the screen
[Nexus 5 General] Parithosh:
Alright guys, a quick query.

Will not having a SIM card during the first boot be of any significance? I mean will the normal setup continue without a SIM card? I'll have access to Wi-Fi though.
[Nexus 5 General] thegr8anand:
Yes it will be fine without sim.
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
yes. Why wouldn't it be?

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:51 PM ----------

Yeah yeah, I know it's too flashy and I'll probably get bashed for choosing this .. but trust me, I have seen pics and it just looks too awesome lying on the top of a table with it's back. And the front, well this one had to be black titanium. Exactly 1399 after using the discount coupon.
[Nexus 5 General] :
So my device was picked up for RMA 5 mins ago .. it was 100 % charged ... I made a silly mistake i did not flash stock images and left the bootloader unlocked but i have factory reset the phone .. its on stock rom rooted ... I hope it doesnt make a difference :/ .. I have sent it POWERED ON
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Cross your fingers and hope for the best. I am not sure if unlocking the boot loader voids the warranty, or not.

Yeah, it's a lot of bling but it doesn't look so bad IMO. Really eye catching and pretty different after all the comparatively dull cases most of us tend to buy.
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
unlocking bootloader does void warranty...but if yours is a hardware issue, then pray that they dont check the software... i mean if its dead pixel, hope that they just check for the dead pixel and leave it at that.. :rolleyes:

all the best , hope for the best =D
[Nexus 5 General] :
I am not actually worried , my issues on the device were DEAD PIXELS and a gap b/w screen and bezel on the bottom . Google respects your warranty till u have not caused any damage to the phone by unlocking bootloader (bricked it or something). If they return it to me , i will flash stock images reset flash counter and again call for RMA
[Nexus 5 General] mbharath003:
haha nice... !! :good: yea , the power of flashing =D ;) :D
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
It's awesome bro trust me. I took like 3 days to check every combination, all reviews and all the pics!! and finally came up with this. The is the best for me. Though I could have gotten the Nexus color'ed X if I could wait for 13 more days... as dbrands are gonna give a new back.. anyways I will probably buy a new one again as it will be just for 8 $ :P

[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Just hope they don't check the boot loader in this instance and process your warranty.

And you think that Google or their hardware partner will not mark your handset's serial # as warranty void in their records, before sending it back to you? Dude, you underestimate them. :D
[Nexus 5 General] :
I am not underestimating them , but if unlocking bootloader has caused the gap b/w the screen and bezel and it made 3 pixels die then they should say WARRANTY VOIDED. Google supports unlocked bootloaders and afaik it honors your warranty till its not the cause of the defect . Software warranty might get voided though .

UPDATE :

I called google and they said it wont affect the replacement ...
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I am glad to see that LG/Google will honour the warranty. Gives me additional hope once I get cracking with the Nx5. Though I have left it in a stock state as of now.

While this may not apply to the Nx5, tampering with any part of the phone either hardware or software voids the warranty, regardless whether the unauthorised software was directly or indirectly responsible for the defect or not. For e.g. Samsung will simply not provide any warranty support in cases where the Knox flag has been tripped with the new Note 3. If the Knox flag (or warranty bit in SM-N900 Exynos versions) is set to 1, you're on your own.

SIM Removal Tool

I lost my SIM removal tool. Can I use safety pin instead?
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Use a safety pin with a dull point. Or use a thin paper clip if it fits. Try calling Google support to ask for a new one. They should be able to help.
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
So u think they will ship a new pin???

Brain??

[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
So do you have any other "helpful" suggestions to that problem?? They can send it by ordinary post! Or ask the OP to approach a LG service centre where he can get this probably for free. That's other than using other 'devices' like pins or a paper clip. Better to play it safe and try for the tool.
[Nexus 5 General] adityameena26:
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=181216745022

I personally think..there z no need to buy this as you can find many things in your home for ejecting the sim..such as safety pin..hair pins etc..:)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Thanks bro. At least you're making an attempt to be helpful to the person who lost his sim removal tool. Lol! :)

He could approach a local mobile store, they might have one too.

[Nexus 5 General] Visa Declined:
It applies to the Nexus 5 also. If you warranty a phone that's unlocked or rooted, you're toast.

There's a reason why we fret about getting our phones relocked for warranty service here at XDA, and if you tell Google that your phone is unlocked or rooted while asking for an RMA they're going to laugh at you.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Alfa Store in Mumbai has only 16GB black at 30k. Useless.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
That's what I thought too.

Well, [MENTION=4670869]aditya.[/MENTION] called up the customer support and they informed him that it would not affect warranty replacement.

Of course there's always a chance that the CSR was talking thru his hat, they aren't the most knowledgeable about many aspects of the phone.

The warranty booklet has no explicit mention of the warranty being void if an unauthorised i.e. dev ROM, CWM, software is used. But point 5 on page 13 of the warranty booklet (exclusions) explicitly excludes damage or failure caused by unauthorised modification or alteration...etc. etc.

They could use this clause to duck the warranty regardless of whether the fault was due to such a software mod or not. Samsung does just this, they wont bother if they discover the knox flag or warranty bit is set to 1 OR the system status is "unofficial" or "modified". Period. You need to pay for the repair.

Anyways, to be on the safe side the rule is to lock the boot loader and load the factory ROM before sending the handset for a RMA or warranty service.

About Nexus 5 purchase

Hi friends,

i am planning to purchase Nexus 5 quite long time, i do placed my order with ebay last month but my bad luck seller not able to dispatch the device he said it due to nexus 5 has some minor hardware issues and LG and google tweaking the same so he not able to do a bulk purchase from factory.

my question is does any one has any idea when Nexus 5 after remodel will ship and available in india?

Also would like to know which mode of purchase would be best through play store? or through well know ecommerce sites like flipkart..

want to know the advantages of play store purchase? and deliver period? does any one bought device through google play store?

your responses are highly welcome and appreciated.. pls help me with my above queries? Thanks in Advance :)

Thank you! Jeyakanth.

guys my phone says 4.4.2 system update .. waiting to download 54mb via wifi only until 22 dec..

problem is i dont have wifi but can update through 3g network..

is update to be made via wifi itself??

[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Update can be done via wi-fi or mobile network. The reason it suggests wifi is because mobile data is expensive.

[Nexus 5 General] :
I called them again (its a call based from USA this time) It doesnot affect the procedure in any manner

---------- Post added at 08:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:54 PM ----------

Well is that why people buy nexus ? WHY does google provide stock images ?

i have called them up twice yet and both of the times they have said it DOESNOT affect the procedure in any way (atleast in my case) How does unlocking bootloader cause pixels to die or be the cause of GAP b/w the screen and Bezel on the bottom, while i used hTC unlocking bootloader voided software warranty but not the hardware warranty .
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Try explaining that to Samsung...you'll be met with a cold "Warranty void'. Once they choose to throw the book at you, there's not much you can do.

Hence always lock the boot loader and load a factory ROM before sending for service or RMA. They MAY or MAY not reject the warranty with an unlocked boot loader or custom ROM. Thing is, why take a chance?

BTW, what does the 'software warranty' mean? I've seen it on eBay with some people selling the SD800 version of the Samsung Note 3. Does not count for much.
[Nexus 5 General] :
I was short of time thats why i was forced to send it in that way .. Software warranty means they wont fix anything related to software hard bricks etc
[Nexus 5 General] Bigg Boss:
Lock folders

Is there any way to apply pattern lock to Gallery folder without the use of an app, or to any other folder for that matter ?
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
u can make a file with extension .nomedia then that folder wont be shown in the gallery app
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
So does that mean a hardware fault will be covered? Just curious, hence asking.

My interpretation is/was a different - a software warranty is one where only software faults are corrected for e.g. re-flashing the ROM in case the phone is in a "soft brick" state and loading apps (apks). This is what was offered on eBay & I am really not sure what to make of it.
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
You can always take your time before you give it to courier. I gave mine and after 30mins realized that I didn't pack it properly and called courier guy. They gave me package back and I packed properly.

---------- Post added at 10:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

AFAIK rooting or unlocking does void warranty. I read somewhere on xda about tutorial of flashing stock image and setting warranty void flag to false to claim warranty.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Well, that's what I always thought. Hence the cautionary advice to people RMAing their phones.

In the Note 3 there's no way to change the Knox/warranty bit back to zero. So if you root or load CWM/TWRP or any dev ROM, the warranty is history. You may claim display defects have no relation to loading CWM/TWRP recovery or rooting or the dev ROM but once you do that, no matter what the fault is you don't get warranty coverage. I know a really senior chap in the Samsung development team who told me, soon after the N3 was released nearly 3 months ago, that Samsung's found a way to discourage mods. Now I believe him. It's probably only a matter of time before it catches on with other phone manufacturers.
[Nexus 5 General] :
He arrived at 7 here at a common point (evening) , i had lost hope that day and then suddenly i got a call . couldnot catch up nicely :(
[Nexus 5 General] ankur3290:
They call you before coming and if you think you can't give then you can always ask them to come next day.

Anyways I hope there won't beany issue. You can check status for your RMA device with your RMA ref number whether your device is shipped or not.
