What ,,???? No 4.4.2 Still

After reading about all getting the update , i am like WHAT ?? ,,, Y MEE ?? , Been clicking the Check Now , Check Now , Button , Still No update

Lol. No buddy..u can try restarting your cell and check again...before updating read thread 4.4.2 initial stage (something like that)

Updated to 4.4.2 (Shortcut/Jugaad ;P )

Updated to 4.4.2 (Shortcut/Jugaad ;P )

So like you guys i kept waiting and waiting for the 4.4.1 (and now the 4.4.2) updates to hit my device but no luck.

Here is the shortcut although some people say its not completely safe but i have never had an issue with it ever. :)

Go to settings - apps - all - scroll down to Google Services Framework - clear data & cache - go back to system updates and check again.

If it does not give you the OTA update do this again. It should not take more than 4-5 tries for sure!

Enjoy!! :))

really disappointed with the display of Nexus 5 (may be because i was used to Amoled), switching to G2

Planning to sell my N5, which is the best palce to sell online ? it is just 10 days old.
[Nexus 5 General] Diwakar_003:
Thanks a lot for that info bro. I will do the same :)
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
And you see the video of app ecosystem for both of them

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] MAILUS:
hi,

I am willing to buy your nexus 5 mobile.

please mention your device details with price.that will be more usefull.
[Nexus 5 General] Horoscope:
Hi, have sent u a PM.
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I just checked my Nx5...no 4.4.2 update so far. Anyways it will come when it has to.
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
I will love to buy your device kindly provide me with details and the price that you are expecting.

Another thing though G2 and Nexus 5 have the same IPS screen and if you are dissatisfied with N5 you will be the same with G2. Suggest you look at either S4 or note 3
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
G2 has better screen than Nexus 5 if you see few videos on YouTube.. Display on n5 is washed out and it is little saturated on G2 like Amoled but nowhere near Amoled in saturation

LG G2

Dont worry bro same here, see my RMA stats

Its 10/12/13 & still havent got replacement :(
[Nexus 5 General] Horoscope:
I have personally checked the G2, its much much better display than N5, as someone said its more like a Amoled

check ur PM for N5 details
[Nexus 5 General] SamBG:
I disagree...in no ways the display of g2 is bttr than n5...even if both use the same ips technology its the software and calibration that makes the difference..and if u think n5 display is undersaturated itz only bcoz u hav been usin the amoled display for a long tym and dont know wat a good calibrated display looks like as amoled's are oversaturated so as make the colors pop out!!

U ll surely like the g2's display as lg has tried to oversaturate the display for achieve the amoled feeling in an ips!!!

Eventually it completely depends on personal preference!!

If my post helped u a bit...help me by pressin the THANK button!!!
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Anyways YouTube will tell which screen is better... G2 or N5 but it's subjective...

Personally i don't like Amoled

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] SamBG:
I guess u dont like the amoled bcoz of itz name...as if u r sayin g2 screen is bettr dat means u like oversaturated colors like the amoled displays!!!

If my post helped u a bit...help me by pressin the THANK button!!!
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Man its nowhere near highly oversaturated like s4 and Note 3.. I don't like

LG G2
[Nexus 5 General] SamBG:
Its not that highly saturated as they are pure amoled...whereas the g2 has an ips diplay tryin to get amoled results so are oversaturated...

U can check any reviews!!

If my post helped u a bit...help me by pressin the THANK button!!!
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:
Yes its oversaturated but not highly like S4 or Note 3 and Nexus 5 is washed out which looks pathetic

---------- Post added at 03:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

G2 and N5 are both IPS+ displays, but with different color calibration.... if u really want amoleds, then you are looking for samsung !! wouldnt suggest G2 as u may face same disappointment

RMA Update

Ok! so i just received my replacement device.

No dead pixels thank god.

but google has gifted me the power button rattle and volume rocker rattle. but im gonna live with it because display was the main reason i RMAed it.

ill keep you guys posted.

And my prev device was 310 & replacement is 311.

i am thinking of ordering the 32gb black version through playstore...

any idea if i order it today when will i receive it...

(it says 3-4 weeks but hoping it might be early)

i live in chennai
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Assume it will be delivered 3 weeks later. Anything earlier is a pleasant surprise. And it is not unknown. I had booked a 32GB BL on 21/11 and it was supposed to ship on 29th. I received it on 23rd. So Google does offer a pleasant surprise once in a while. The RMA too was a pleasant surprise. Time from pickup by courier to delivery was 2 days.

How is the 4.4.2 Update ??

Guyz , those who officially updated through OTA to 4.4.2 :crying: , and those who sideloaded to the newer version ;) ,

How is the Device performing ( Camera and any change overall ) ? , Cause some seem to have a negative effect of upgrade , while MANY are HAPPY ? I haven't received the update YET , but should i install it . if and when it comes :crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 5 General] Ashutosh1313:
Ty Sharp
[Nexus 5 General] :
Personally I love the 4.2.2 update, cam seems extra snappier so does shutter speed and autofocusing. I just love new update, it's worth sideloading for now.
[Nexus 5 General] yashleo21:
Just to add something,

I was a sammy user. Used S2,Note,S3 and Note 2. Amoled screen are good and the one on my current nexus 5 is just as good.

As a normal user I dont see any huge difference in amoled and ips+ which will make be switch a newly bought device.

In fact,I love the N5's screen :D
[Nexus 5 General] jiteshj:

4.4.1 or 4.4.2 OTA

Guys,

Those who bought through Indian Play Store...Anyone got the OTA for 4.4.1 or 4.4.2??? I still din get any updates...any quick tips to get the OTA fast...not looking for sideload options...
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
yeah one option is wait wait wait...
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
No update for me yet :( I bought from India Play Store. And the most weird and bizarre thing is that Nexus Technical support in India claims that 4.4.2 update in India has not been rolled out :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] anurag4444:
I got my nexus 5 updated to 4.4.2 via ota today morning . I purchased my nexus 5 from playstore india on the launch date. While checking software update it showed that update available via wifi only until 13 dec. But when i changed my date to 13 dec it started downloading via mobile network.
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
This means that you must have got a notification to begin with but I have not received any notification also. May be the reason if it is available only via WiFi and you will get a notification when you are connected to WiFi. I will check tomorrow when I go to office and see if connecting to WiFi helps.
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
I got my cruzerlite shipped today. Its a androidified black case. This one is pretty good.

As for ringke its good too. Just try to search it in a local shop before buying it online.

I found they were selling the ringke fusion for 850!

So I'd suggest to look around first.

Definitely a good cover to show off the nexus 5 ;)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
I am using the Ringke Slim...and the Klia screen protector from Capdase. Best protector I've used so far.

The Ringke hybrid looks good. You can opt for that.

[Nexus 5 General] praveen22:
Hey!! I was wondering if I could ask a friend to courier it to me from US via some service if its possible. Problem is, he was in a meeting while Nexus was launched and by the time he could book one for me, it was shipping in 2-3 weeks, which now leaves a possibility of arriving after November 18th, the day he was supposed to come to india. Now, I was hoping for ask someone to courier it instead. And if yes, how much will it cost??

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 General] shamps:
Its not ebay.in

Must be some seller whos got hands on some pieces snd is now tryinf to sell at a premium. It happens every time witha device not yet available in India but launch elsewhere!!

feel great to have bought one immediately :D

Nexus 5 will not be LTE capable for India no matter where you buy it. The US version as well as International version (the one that will be sold here and also in other asian countries like HK ) does not have LTE 40 band. So even Indian version is not LTE ready for India. So it does not really matter.
[Nexus 5 General] anshmiester78900:
Hey mate you bought it from US? Actually my relatives were getting one for me from US. The unlocked verison, so I just wanted to ask you that I will support all the Indian carries right? And what else I should consider while asking them to buy one for me from play store?

There is 1% additional duty. So total comes to 7% at the moment. All this provided customs guys evaluate it properly :P
[Nexus 5 General] shubh_007:
Some people here are discussing nexus 5 will come to India only after US demands are met. And Google ignores India and all that stuff.

How does US demand affect Indian market when there are two different versions of the phone being made. And second Google is not so foolish to put up Nexus 5 and make it available after 2-3 months. Hopefully it should come in this month and latest by next month. January doesn't seem likely to me coz people won't wait for nexus 5 to be launched here for so long. Either they'll manage it from somewhere else or go for some other phone.

A tweet from Paul O'Brien

[MENTION=220328]paulobrien[/MENTION] Just swapped my N5. Fit and finish on the new one is much better, it's also black. Hadn't realised black has matte sides vs glossy on white!
[Nexus 5 General] chirag_chheda:
I wonder that would help at all.

I'm connected to WiFi only and still havent received an update/ any notification.

All that's possible is either a sideload or wait for few days more I guess.
[Nexus 5 General] gamer.11:
ah....well im gonna buy it from flipkart or any other seller which provides a CoD option. Not much of an online payment fan!...so I suppose I may get the device mid-jan or early feb depending on the seller. oh the agony of waiting :crying::crying:
[Nexus 5 General] amkush:
Even I think so but it is harmless option to try out :). From past experience I know update will come when it comes but I expected better and uniform/logical update distribution from Google, it may be but I can't perceive it that way with people reporting getting update from across India. By the way I ordered on the very first day and received my N5 within 2 days (310) so if the updates are being rolled out by batch/IMEI etc, I should have got it by now :)
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
Looks like the Mod(s) has been cleaning the thread. Some housekeeping is always good. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Seadra:
another option is ... go to settings>apps>all apps > google services framework and clear data on it. and then check the latest update. If you don't get the update, try this multiple times. It took me 3 times and I got the 4.4.2 but my cousin tried the first time and he got the update lol.

"forcing" OTA updates using Framework Services trick, breaks stuff

I think you guys should download ota on PC and then sideload it on your Nexus.
[Nexus 5 General] RohanM:
Now u all will be disconnected from play services for more than 4-5 hours & other broken stuff... Never force OTA...
[Nexus 5 General] Sharp-Razr:
It's working properly. I've restarted the phone twice. All updates downloading. In fact I even downloaded a few apps that came with the Note 3 but not the NX5. Behaving well so far.
[Nexus 5 General] ajainandroid:
I know , but just can't resist man .

Thanks ,,

BUT there is a way to fix them , it is to either force stop/clear data from ALL of those apps:laugh:

For NOT be able to download apps from the Play Store weblink and "push" them to your device , I always download ANY APP ON my DEVICE ITSELF so not an issue.

Regarding /Play Store purchases of Magazine/Music - it ain't available in India :crying::crying: , So no point of losing it .

Also i am not sure but i haven't experienced any trouble , * just had to clear a little cache and log in again in few apps . That's a

hassle i can bear .

whattttt , i din't know that , checked it now but seems no problem to me,, ,Also when i see an update i am like , I GOT TO HAVE IT ,, next time i will Sideload it ( seems like a safer alternative :cool:)

you purchased from playstore or LG store?

And if your device was defective..why did they give you refund instead of replacement? :confused:

Bought from local shop.. had dead pixel.. they give refund for nexus only.. replacement for other. About local

Yeah I like buying from local. I talk to my local shop dealer.. he said next time if u got dead pixel he will replace any time..

I bought Xperia z from him 6 months ago.got dead pixel 3 - 4 times and he replaced at that time

4.4.2

So I just got the 4.4.2 update OTA on the Nexus 5 purchased from the PlayStore. It downloaded itself in the background without notifying me lol

Just so it helps, I'm not sure, but it started downloading after my battery got charged to 100%. And then notified me that the update is ready to install.

The HDR+ now shows a progress bar after a pic is clicked (as shown in the pic), along with touch to focus+zoom support. Stock camera is much faster as compared to the 4.4 initial one. Even in low light, the pics are a bit faster to take.

Hope you all get the update soon as well. Cheers!
[Nexus 5 General] kailashnj:
Damn it guys. Now the White 32GB is out of stock on Playstore.

I waited for the money to be credited from the ebay store and that I got it today. When I went to purchase on the play store, the phone is no longer available as its out of stock. Black is available but will take 3 to 4 weeks. This means another long wait before I can put my hands on the N5. I hate that ebay seller. It's only because of him that I have still not got the N5 with me.

White or Black ?

Man, that Feels :crying::crying: , But going by all the responses and post , you can get your hands on Nexus 5 ( BLACK ) by ordering from Play Store within 4 - 5 days and Not In Weeks as mentioned With a Little Luck :highfive:, But If you want a White Variant , You SHOULD get it from Local Retailer ASAP , as Play Store is not maintaining a good flow of stock and N5 is Selling like hot cake .
