ha ha, why don't you give them a call and ask them :P or are they closed by now ? looks like your phone is taking a different route which is understandable. Even though mine says delivery on 11th now I'm starting to doubt it. maybe i'll get it on Tuesday too.
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
Hopefully you will get it if they don't lose it :P , no more calls.. I am done with that lol , I will actually ask them to give me the shipping fees back if I ever get that package
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
Why didn't anyone think of it before ??? Thats a perfect idea. Google corp is a Canadian company. I got my nexus 7 2013 price matched from best buy no probs whatsover. They should do it . Ha ha, that's one excellent solution !

---------- Post added at 09:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:16 AM ----------

they told me they will give me my shipping fee back only if package doesn't arrive by thursday. It's quiet unfair but I am willing to forget this fiasco once I get my nexus 5. I honestly never had this much trouble ordering anything online before.
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
I never had much trouble ordering anything same as you and honestly if their CS told me we cannot do anything and you have to stfu and wait to see what happens then I would be much happier then them trying to help me everytime I call and their assurance that everything is fine with their generic email and we want your feedback BS to get off the phone, its like they f you nicely haha

I just got my Nexus 5 today. I am with Rogers, so I cut my old sim card and plug it into N5.

I can get GSM signals, able to make phone calls. But I couldn't get LTE data, only 3G and H data.

Does anyone has the same problem Rogers LTE?

Do I need to get a new sim card?
[Nexus 5 General] custo:
Check your APNs. Also the obvious, but are you in an area with LTE coverage? Also if your Sim is older it may not be an LTE Sim card
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Not yet.

Lucky! Mine says Dec. 3 :(

Ordered mine last sat and it was delivered Thursday. Google is awesome. White 32gb
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
I'm really glad I decided to cancel my 32GB Black and switch to a 32GB white after seeing most the trend here. Even though it was 3-4 weeks instead of 4-5 weeks at the time it ended up being less then a week for the white. Regretted the white at the time when I read it didn't have the soft touch.
[Nexus 5 General] mymusicathome:

My tracking finally updates for my white 32gb, should have it next week. Hopefully my case gets here at the same time.
[Nexus 5 General] TheDiddler:
Maybe I'm crazy lucky or it's my location but I bought my phone around 7:30 pm the day it was released, it said leaves warehouse in 3-4 weeks, and the phone arrived on November 7.
[Nexus 5 General] iamhacked:
Did anyone that ordered after launch day get their 16GB black yet? I have an estimate of December 3rd so I wonder when Google will finally ship those...
[Nexus 5 General] Ali812:
Nope, mine says it leaves the warehouse on December 3rd. Was hoping to get it earlier but I don't particularly mind the wait.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Backlight bleed: Need comparison please

I knew I should have never started reading that defects thread while waiting for the phone to arrive.

But I did.

And now I can see a noticeable backlight bleed at both top and bottom edge, especially during the screen lock animation.

I don't want to argue as to what's reasonable to expect from a phone at this price level but I would like to make sure that mine isn't at the bottom end of the scale.

I looked at two phones in carrier stores today but with all the lighting in the malls it is hard to make out differences.

Anybody in Burnaby or close by receive their phone and willing to meet me at a Starbucks or something this weekend?

Hoping that I can either stop obsessing or do something about once I have seen another sample.

PM please.

Thanks

Manuel

Ordered my Nexus 5 16GB black on launch day late in the afternoon. Original delivery said "leaves warehouse in 3 to 4 weeks", then updated to "leaves warehouse in 2 to 3 weeks". Just yesterday got a e-mail saying the phone has shipped with a tracking number. Last I checked, it was in Hodgkins IL., due on my doorstep on the 15th. So guys, you may get your phone earlier than you think.
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
Backlight bleed doesn't get worse with time. If you feel that it's bothering you too much you should get your phone replaced but if you feel like it's something you can easily live without and won't notice until you really look for the bleed then i say forget about it. you never know how bad or worse the replacement phone can be.
[Nexus 5 General] DoesntPostAThing:
Too excited for the phone, even though it's still almost a month before it'll arrive. Went out and grabbed a micro SIM to pass another ~20 min of the time :silly:

Been using my Black 16GB for about a day and I'm really happy with it actually. Yes it does rattle SLIGHTLY if I hold it up to my ear, but I took my N4 and did the same and that rattled too. I didn't notice in the year I had it, so this wasn't a big deal to me. It does have some backlight bleed as well, but only notice it if I look for it.

Overall, normal use of the N5 is really impressive and I can't wait to start customizing. The dpi is way too high and all the icons, etc. take up a lot of space.
[Nexus 5 General] :
Getting a 'not all tracking information is available at this time message' from UPS? never used them before, is this happening for anyone else?

[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
ha ha, same happened with me :P but now again it shows delivery by monday :P hopefully yours will come back too :P

---------- Post added at 09:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

yes and that burning sensation increases when you ordered one just minutes after launch and are still waiting for it :P
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
joy?

I'm not, mine arrived friday, I'm still running my pre-tweak benchmarks... battery tests right now... :P

loop-video to run the battery from 100% to 20%, use tasker to record start and finish times..

takes about 3.5hrs to drain...

This way I can test for certain if custom kernels and the like actually improve battery life (and not just differences in use)

Case and Screen protector haven't arrived yet, so It's not my daily driver phone yet...

Took this pic with my N5. It's pretty good I think
[Nexus 5 General] QAM:
Hola

I bought my N5 through kijiji. Anyway I am waiting on my spigen csse which is not scheduled to reach me in the GTA till early December it seems. Are there any cases and accessories being sold at local stores . I been to a few bestbuys and kiosks at the mall but I haven't come across anything specific yet.

Any suggestions?

"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
I saw some cases at bestbuy yesterday, ( http://www.bestbuy.ca/en-CA/product...-black-blue-adlgnexus5tpublkblu/10271699.aspx )
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
i thought no one bought cases from kiosks or those big box stores. they sell it for too much. I get mine online. You can find really really good ones for 1/4th the price of ****ty ones you get at stores. I got myself a ringke fusion nexus 5 case and also a spigen neo hybrid case. got really good deals from amazon. I would encourage you to try it.
[Nexus 5 General] QAM:
Hola

Oh I completely agree with you and I have already ordered a spigen case online but the issue is the delivery time. I really don't want to have my phone naked for too long. It will cost me to purchase a temporary case for now but it is an investment I am willing to take. I like this phone a great deal.

"So what you want me to do 'bout that?"
[Nexus 5 General] alex00725:
what i do is use my phone with care till the case arrives. im sure you can do that :)
[Nexus 5 General] Zackaroli:
I ordered a Diztronic case from their site and it took like 3 - 4 days to get to me (Toronto), they give you a tracking number and you can track it at Canada post, I really like the case
[Nexus 5 General] cmstlist:
Depends on the kiosk. There's one at Tinseltown in Vancouver that has good prices on screen protectors including application. Haven't tried cases there. Then there are the vendor kiosks at the summer night markets (although those are over until next summer).
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
battery life

well.. that's 2 baseline tests.... (100% battery to 20% battery)

3.51 and 3.78 hrs for each....
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
Can you expand on this? Those numbers are pretty meaningless without some context.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
I know, but so are most of the other battery life posts I've seen in the various threads...

What I'm doing, is looping a video to drain the battery, right now I'm running with all radios powered (bluetooth, wifi, gps) and brightness at 100%

Ran two tests so far, want 3-5 tests to set a baseline before I start playing with any other settings... various radios off, brightness at various levels, custom kernels, etc....
[Nexus 5 General] oupavoc:
Not the best cases! Expensive for what they are!
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
I know, but what is bestbuys return policy? use them for the week or so it takes for the better ones to arrive from the internet, then return them.. :P
[Nexus 5 General] oupavoc:
lol I was thinking the same and the guy said if there is noticeable scratches I'm out of luck? I was like really wtf!
[Nexus 5 General] benzben228:
The battery life is on par with nexus 4.
[Nexus 5 General] canucker:
Is anyone else experiencing a decrease in bars for the Bell network in Vancouver? My signal doesn't ever go past 2 bars when I'm at home, whereas my S2 before would be full bars all the time, so I don't think it's a problem with my location.
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
probably, I didn't do this benchmark with the n4 though, I'm doing this basically as a way to test and see how effective various battery tweaks may be... Although,, the n5 seems to be better on battery for my usage than the n4 was.. really won't know about real-world use until I'm back at work next week. seeing as with screen on auto-brightness I was lucky to hit 3hrs Screen on Time... the n5 is pulling that with brightness at 100% But... now I'm curious, I'm going to set up my n4 to run this test, just to compare.... (same video file, same use case...)

I should have time for a third baseline test tonight on the n5... then run it again sometime at 50% brightness (though I think that will take the 3..5/3.75hrs out to about 4.5-5... so
[Nexus 5 General] kilometers4:
Nope, I'm actually getting better signal. I had a regular Sim from 2yrs ago and now I'm getting LTE with good reception. I'm in surrey though.
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
I'm in Cloverdale. My reception at home has been terrible on my Amaze. Often no signal at all, then I hold the phone half a meter to the left and I get 3 bars. I'm hoping that once I get the Nexus it will be better.
[Nexus 5 General] steveblue:
Does anyone know a store (rogers, futershop, bestbuy) that has a N5 in to try out. Trying to convince my family they are the phone to get ( sone likes the note 3).

Also what do you think the best monthly plan or byo phone plan is for us n5 byo folks.

- Tried Wind for 14 days with one of there phone ins the Vancouver area - all was fine but the data was slow - either same or slower ( mostly) than my non LTE rogers Note1. So I would prefer faster speeds thaan Wind has.

- For Rogers:

so what I was told today was interesting by rogers - I called them ( they have a new double the data plan starting today again). Since I want 3 phones and alot of data they said I could get

$55 a phone + $50 for data ( 3gb but doubled to 6gb to share).

so $55 + $55 + $55 + $50(6g data) a month plus $99 x 3 for the N5 phones.

I told them that I save $180 a phone (x3) if I buy from google over the 2 yrs ( 99 +$20/24 months = $580 rogers versus $400 google). They agreed. So instead best for me buy phones and get the $20 off per phone for byop

35 + 35 + 35 + $50 ( data)

then I asked them if I could cancel at anytime since they are my phones - he first yes for $12 then said I might as well go monthly and get the exact plan but monthly.

Well that sounded best to me. Means I can jump ship ( I hate evil carriers) to any better plan whenever I want - thanks google for making this possible.

Now just waiting for a phone to be in the stores, so I can get approveal from family that they like them ( galaxy note 3 versus N5 in my house) and then I have to order and wait. Again does anyone know of a Vancouver store that has a demo model n5.
[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
I'm with Telus. I still have a year left on my plan with a $180 payout if I want to cancel. My plan is $50/month for 1GB data plus 200 min, unlimited texting, voicemail and call display. Just going to swap my sim card and coninue with this plan, then roll over into month by month at the same rate. If I start a new plan I'm looking at $35/month plus $40/ month for the data plan. Way better to just stay with what I've got.
[Nexus 5 General] TheOneChristo:
I'd call Telus and try to get better. I currently pay $55 for 2GB. Unlimited nationwide calling, texting, vm and call display. My contract is up shortly, but if I sign one of their new two year plans I'd have to change my plan.

What's interesting is that the 16GB black "sold out" first and yet the majority of people who voted on the poll bought the two 32GB models.
[Nexus 5 General] donkeyhitman:
I'm guessing cuz they anticipated more people will be purchasing the 32GB as storage capacity was one of the complaints about the N4 and therefore, they created more stock for the 32GB.
[Nexus 5 General] kmckmc:
Ordered 2 separately..

32GB black @ Oct31, 2:10:02 PM - Shipping on Nov 5,

Hello everyone, it's nice to see everyone here.

I missed out on the first two batches of Nexus 4 last year and had to wait until the end of January before ordering mine, so I was determined not to miss out on the Nexus 5 fun this year :)

No shipping email yet....I hope everyone starts to get theirs soon.

[Nexus 5 General] truthlesshero:
call me a skeptic..but with the problems they had last year (and I was one of the lucky ones to get my nexus 4 before christmas)...i don't like this whole "pending" for transaction status thing..

i ordered mine at 2:50pm EST..well...two actually (2x16gb, one black, one white...) and did get the confirmation email that I made a purchase through google wallet...but the status says pending... one says ships nov 8th, the other ships as soon as possible..

I just want something a little more concrete...or someone else that is in the same boat as i am, hehe

just for reference, both said shipping november 8th when i added them to cart and paid for them...
[Nexus 5 General] umesswitme:
I was lucky with the nexus 4 as well and got it about a week after launch my order said pending until the order actually shipped, and I received tracking info. My current order also says pending and it's supposed to be shipping Nov. 5.
[Nexus 5 General] bobruels44:
Are you guys able to orders still? I keep looking and all I get is a sold out notice. I want to put my name down but I can't seem to :(

[Nexus 5 General] comminus:
[MENTION=2535034]truthlesshero[/MENTION], [MENTION=4491010]umesswitme[/MENTION] - as long as the order says 'pending' your order is in good shape. That will change once the device is being prepared for shipping / shipped. This has been the case for every device I've ordered from the play store. The situation you do not want to see is having the status change to pre-ordered. That happened to my Nexus 4 order last year and it took weeks to get the phone.

[Nexus 5 General] marleyfan61:
I'm pretty much always connected to Wifi. That may change if I start using Google Play to stream my music from the cloud. Any idea how much of an impact music streaming has on Data usage?
[Nexus 5 General] Tzfardaya:
depends how often you clear the play music app's cache... it downloads the song once then just plays repeats from cache, so if you just keep playing a small selection of music... minimal effect... but if you never play repeats or constantly clear the cache you can chew theough data very quickly... The other side is caching the music is stored locally (but not as a file I've been able to find. not that I've looked all that hard.) using storage space on your phone.

http://www.androidcentral.com/testing-google-play-music-s-new-streaming-quality-settings

I'd test it yourself over wifi first if you're worried about data usage.

if you are worried about data use and phone storage capacity. get an otg cable and usb drives (or sd cards and usb card reader) and use an app like stickmount to mount and access them...

only tech reason I upgraded from the n4 to n5 is that otg support. Now I don't need to lug my laptop around to transfer photographs from my camera to hard drive... my phone is more than capable.
