as someone else already mentioned..

I have ordered mine at carephone warehouse on Friday when they stated that the next delivery will come in at Nov 5th. Just some minutes ago I got an E-Mail saying that my order was cancelled. Just reordered but haven't got a confirmation email.

What should I do? Order at the play store????
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
I hope they are allowing you to use your current nexus 5 in the mean time?

As for whether I want to exchange it, given that most people say their's have no issues I want to but if it's like Apple iPad's it is screen lottery on what you will get panel wise :D
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Mines still working flawlessly :) the Nexus logo on the factory protector is still annoying me it's like an itch you can't scratch lol but my case+screen protector hasn't shipped yet and I don't want to take the factory one off :(

Overall opinions are the phone fly's it's great the vibration is a little small but I think it fits. Love the new grey UI altho they should have changed the settings menu colour and the quick ties for 3G still don't toggle, why Google? WHY!? one little niggle is the volume is rather low even on high
[Nexus 5 General] enfxuevsi:
Just now starting to use it, so much to do. New phone, new start. Ported iPhone contacts, don't care for old messages and such. Sadly gotta format windows before I get into the nitty gritty of rooting and such but can't wait.

Also, despite peoples woes and worries. I think the camera is good. :3.

Hope everyone receives their devices soon.
[Nexus 5 General] fibrousman:
Oh well! mines not turned up either. Looks like tomorrow.....grrrrr!!!
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
I'd like to know that too....
[Nexus 5 General] Schumi 01:
Ah well, ordered as soon as it was available, been sat in the London North West Depot since Friday, so much for expecting it to arrive today, give it another day, then i will be refusing delivery at the door for it, Royal Mail, more like Royal Fail, give me DPD any time of the day, by the way Newport area.
[Nexus 5 General] leomd333:
Mine should be here tomorrow from Three, i hope i get on of the flawless ones like you have haha :D
[Nexus 5 General] oawalker:
Mine tracking says attempted delivery despite someone home all day. No card was left and it says I have to pick it up from the post office. This is really annoying I have the feeling he didn't even attempt to deliver it. So I have to wait until tomorrow. Hopefully I can collect it without the card.

I'm waiting but for what?! Just refreshed the TN. Thanks for the redelivery, PF. I will complain for sure. 10 ponds for such a service. :(

Anyway, hope all you guys get yout phones in time. See you tomorrow! :D
[Nexus 5 General] mb1984:
I've ordered a replacement today, in my Play account it says "Dispatched from warehouse in 2 - 3 weeks.", however the guy I spoke to on the phone assured me it'd be 3-5 working days. When he said that I questioned it as they're not currently showing as immediately available and he put me on hold to confirm it with a supervisor.

Depends what you were told I guess but he seemed adamant it'd be 3-5 working days for me :good:
[Nexus 5 General] FlexiPack:
Yes you get to keep your current N5 until the replacement arrives thankfully. The replacement device comes with a box and returns label for UPS. You then drop it off at your nearest UPS authorised shipping outlet.

I'm glad I get to keep it in the mean time but to be honest I'm scared to use it in case I damage it in someway and they'll then not accept the returns. Fingers crossed the replacement is ok.

Oh that's good to know, thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Mine finally arrived about an hour ago. Guy said it took ages because I lived so far out in the middle of nowhere xD. Phone is amazing, cant believe how nice the screen is!
[Nexus 5 General] FlexiPack:
I must be being dense but where is Google Now? I don't have any swipe to left for it and when I click Google search I just get a search bar with my search history. No Google Now cards. I've changed the voice search to U.S so I can activate it by saying 'Ok Google' and that works ok.

[Nexus 5 General] sshariff:
Don't bother calling car phone warehouse if it's the sim only free phone you are after. Managed to get through the phone after 30 minutes just to be told that it's only the pay monthly orders that they are taking! I think they have been deliberate to get people phoning in by advertising the ssimple free deal just to try and sell them pay monthly deals.

Went back on Google play and ordered it but it's showing as pending!
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
iv been in a que to find that very info out ... iv been in the que for 30 mins now
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
oh really!? i shall hang up then! :good:

i think everyones is showing as pending isnt it
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
Lame. Double lame on the pending.
[Nexus 5 General] jparnell:
Hmmmm. How long do people think we've got until its too late to cancel Google order? Will just try carphonewarehouse store first thing tomorrow if Google still shows i can cancel.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
I take it everyones is saying pending right now ? i ordered at 6:04...
[Nexus 5 General] strictlyp:
Mine is pending as well. this is just... -.-
[Nexus 5 General] jparnell:
Pending too, leaving by 5th November.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
yea its normal .. i guess the weekend is in the way right .. it was 1-2 days for dispatch when i got it
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
Why don't you hold on to the google order and go in Caroline tomorrow and buy there if they have it? Then afterwards return the google order. If carphone don't have it and you cancel the google one you might get stuck pending like some guys above...

That's what I'm gonna do.

Ah, I see you are all pending now...

Nvm.
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
If it ships tonight well have them tomorrow if it's next day. Who knows let see what transpires.
[Nexus 5 General] ifti_a:
Did anyone get the ships by 5th November date ?
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
my play store " devices" section says........ " Leaves warehouse by 5 November 2013."

oh and just got an email from google saying the Nexus 5 is for sale... thanks
[Nexus 5 General] jparnell:
So has anyone got an earlier date than 'leaves by 5th' within their listed orders ? I cant work out if these were the 1-2 business day people.
[Nexus 5 General] nareik91:
I ordered the Nexus 5 32GB Black at 18:02, only for NatWest to block my card as they thought it was being used fraudulently. Seems to be OK on the Play Store but it says "Pending" rather than "Ships by 5th November" as it did before. Hope the order is still OK!
[Nexus 5 General] nigelw:
Ordered mine from CPW for 295 black 16GB, delivery tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] lennshow66:
Ive made two orders, one at 18.03 (white) and one at 18.08 (black). The black one says 'Leaves warehouse by 5 November 2013.' however the white one says 'Pre-ordered'.

Very strange.
[Nexus 5 General] dk206:
It means it's guaranteed by 5th.

Personally I think 10pounds was a bit steep for express delivery. Same for me dispatched by 5th Nov hopefully I get this on Saturday :)
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
Did they have white?:confused::confused::confused::good:
[Nexus 5 General] nigelw:
Yes, they had black and white 16gb. Took a while to answer due to the high volume for the amazing new iPhone 5 though ;)
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Yup, same. Can use it till new one arrives. No time frame for me though, but since it's a working device (light bleed) I'm not bothered how long it takes.
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
I'm considering this too. The black is attracting way too many finger prints. So would Google just replace the black for a white model?
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
Finally. I'm happy for you tho. I bet yours was the last one in the van lol Still think karma was just winding you up for that phone call haha
[Nexus 5 General] TCMuffin:
Unbe...f***ing...lievable :rolleyes:

I received a number of texts from Interlink Express...my delivery would be Wednesday...Thursday...left at a neighbours...any combination of these:

I went out at 1500 and returned at about 1730 to find a Parcelforce "We called to deliver your parcel" card in the hall :confused:

I checked the Parcelforce website and my N5 is finally being tracked and delivery was attempted at 1540, but DNA, so taken to local post office for collection:

:crying: :mad: :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] strikerdj2011:
was you the one who put the link up with it pointing to change the day of delivery if you did serves you right hahaha
[Nexus 5 General] enfxuevsi:
Join us, join the pandas...
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
I'm not sure tbh, but I think we will have to return the black one and place another order for the white.

Now, I am not sure if its worth the hassle. :(
[Nexus 5 General] usmanhaider101:
Got my nexus 5... An hour ago.. Loving it..
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Oh thats good to know.

I'm in two minds whether to request a replacement as knowing my luck the replacement will have dead pixels lol
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Agreed. Might just put the phone in a case... Also in the long term, I think black is a smarter choice. Don't think I could live with a discoloured white back.
[Nexus 5 General] TCMuffin:
Yep...but my point was...changing the delivery details wtih Interlink made no difference as the parcel was already out for delivery by Parcelforce!

I wonder if I'll get several more N5s delivered by Interlink Express on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and yet another one left with a neighbour at some time
[Nexus 5 General] enfxuevsi:
Huzzah, rooted and all. Now the real hype starts. Yet I can't thank the dev as I'm still a newbie, sigh.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:

SGP ultra hybrid case fits perfectly but I just loveeeee it with no case.

SGP crystal screen protector is a great fit, edge to edge.

Hey could you post some pics please?!

I'll give you Internet karma!
[Nexus 5 General] Khaiyan:
Do you mind sharing some pictures with the ultra hybrid on? :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] Oli1122:
Haha no im almost always the last when i get delivery's, that's what comes with living where I live.

[Nexus 5 General] crazymary:
parcelforce/royal mail FAIL

Beware...the following is going to be rantastic.

The complete failure by delivery companies to cater to people who work during the bloody day is astonishing. You get a delivery failure and you see that parcelforce has kindly left your package at the local post office location. Fantastic. You also notice that the only information on the paper gives you times for the parcelforce warehouse which are conveniently open from 8am to 7pm. It's 6:30, so you take a stroll 6 or 7 blocks down to the address given and walk into the convenience store/post office which is still open....only to find that the guy behind the counter doesn't know anything about the postal side of things and sorry you'll have to come back tomorrow between 9am and 5:30pm when the "post office" side of the counter is open. BUT THAT'S WHEN EVERY NORMAL WORKING PERSON IS AT BLOODY WORK!!!!!!

If it had been sent standard royal mail, it would have gone to the location that's open until 7pm on weekdays. If it went back to the parcelforce warehouse, they would be open until 7pm. BUT NO! They "did me a favour" and left it at the dodgy corner market that is now holding my shiny new phone hostage and I can't get it during any reasonable time of the day! WTF!

Now I guess I have to talk my boss into letting me come in late? Meanwhile I paid TEN QUID for shipping that should have been "24 hrs" but ends up being, what, at least 72, probably closer to 96 and really without me getting really creative with my schedule it would actually be impossible for me to get it at all!

Yeah, first world problem, I know, and yeah some people have to wait weeks for theirs, blah blah, but mine is 6 blocks away behind a dirty counter and IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS F*CKING DIFFICULT!

/rant off
[Nexus 5 General] DHTC:
Checked my bank and the moneys not even on hold :s

But yeah really liking the nexus 5, the screen is so much better than the n4, colours are much bolder.

Just got to list the n4 on ebay now.

Got mine today. Was gift for wife. She don't like it much compared to her Note1
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Here's the back anyway:
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Hiya,

Did he email you a link to order a replacement from the play store which is no charge to you?

I got a time frame of 1 to 15 days but I think she was being a bit cautious on that.

Interestingly she said the duff unit is sent back via ParcelForce too lol
[Nexus 5 General] J.S.C:
I wish mine had turned up, ordered as soon as online, only got update today saying was delivered to wrong depot and then saying put in a container and nothing since. :(

I am now not home until Wednesday evening so even if it does arrive tomorrow I won't see it for another day. *sigh*

Still nothing can be done and it's one of those things.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
Damn i'm still annoyed I didn't get the white >< how much extra bulk does it add? have one on order still not shipped tho :/
[Nexus 5 General] Beige Thunder:
I feel your pain.

I bought mine by 18:01 and my tracking code still won't work, I contact Parcelforce and they claim they have no record of receiving any parcel with the details I gave them, Google insists they have and that I should wait.

But that's not even the worst of it. Oh no.

I'm using a 2.1 HTC Hero as my transition phone. It's so, so slow.
[Nexus 5 General] crazymary:
I'd be less angry if I was. Living up to my username? You might be similarly chuffed if the parcel companies were holding your shiny new phone hostage.

Can someone tell me what the back of the white feels like?

I bought black but just curious....
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
Smooth hard plastic.

Almost identical to the white HTC ONE X material.

Feels premium - not cheap at all.
[Nexus 5 General] mb1984:
Hi, yeah, got the email about half an hour after getting off the phone to them earlier. Hopefully replacement will be OK and here promptly :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 5 General] J.S.C:
There are some nice vinyl wraps that are already available for the N5, have a look if you really fancy the white.
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
I bet you knew she wasn't going to like. Now you a lovely owner of an N5 lol. If i was yours could have been not another of those moments lol

[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
I think there should be another thread, "***** about delivery or lack of and vent frustration"... I dont mean to show malice or anything, but 60% of this thread yields no value and is just venting rather than chat of any kind.... I would expect "what cases", "any problems", "do people like sms in hangouts" etc.

Again don't anyone take this as having a go, but I subscribed to maybe get useful info, not up to the second updates on peoples feelings while waiting for delivery (cause if you really want it, most CPW outside of main city areas still have stock) :)
[Nexus 5 General] Jonnyw2k:
I want 32GB tho! :)

I have bought a Spigen Case and Glass Screen protector from amazon

and a Qi Wireless charger/Battery Pack from ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QI-Wirele...WDVW&rd=1&ih=016&category=123417&cmd=ViewItem

You are 100% right, but at the moment that is the biggest thing on people's mind. Don't worry though, once more people have the device and have had a chance to play I am sure it will change to more discussions of problems/questions :)
[Nexus 5 General] Kiko_1272:
Ahhh mann!! Everyone still waiting for theirs to be delivered don't feel so bad.

I've been thinking of getting that, please post your opinions on it once you've gotten a chance at using it.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
Well, after being carded at 0820 this morning - for a phone I was expecting on or after November 8th, I went along to the post office this evening (well, 5.15pm) and picked it up, so I have nothing but praise for Google, Expansys, ParcelForce and the individual driver who took it to my local post office instead of taking it back to the depot, where it would likely have been too late to pick it up (driver returning as the depot closed).

I cannot find words to describe what a difference it has been over the Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 I ordered. It's exactly the service we always expected from Google, although I obviously sympathise with those who didn't get their phone today for whatever reason.

At the end of the day though, I expected to have to wait a bit longer and once you have it - all your worries disappear.

Now to hope that Amazon deliver my case/screen protector soon!

One thing I've noticed is that it is now restoring my backed up apps.. which basically means everything I've ever downloaded and purchased, as well as standard apps that came installed on some devices I've reviewed - so I'm getting some foreign book readers and a navigation app that was on a tablet I got a few weeks back, and has since gone back.

That's probably going to take all night and may well fill the entire storage space (or not fit at all) but I know that if I cancel the restore, it can't be resumed as there's no specific backup/restore menu. So I'm going to see how it gets on....

Finally - I think I have now made up my mind that when the Nexus 10 is announced (Snapdragon 800, 3GB RAM), I'm going to buy one for a Christmas present to myself. I now feel confident that I might actually get it before Christmas if it's announced in the next month or so.
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
After playing with the white one all night.

I just picked up my N4, and its now gone crappy. LOL

The smaller size, the thickness, the weight! OMG :)

Loving the higher auto brightness that the N5 seems to be giving me aswell.

The screen is amazing - the colours are soooo much better.

Also loveeee the bigger icons.

And yep - the notification light is definitely larger than the N4. :)
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
Agreed. N4 is crap.
[Nexus 5 General] r0cafella:
Does it meet your expectations?

Im simply amazed at how good this thing is personally
[Nexus 5 General] chrisjcks:
It certainly does.

The vibration on the keyboard is a little strong though. Lol

But everything is improved for sure.

The low light photos are amazing.

I just couldn't resist asking!
[Nexus 5 General] Lawliet:
I'm sorry I really don't see how the "Nexus 4 is crap" -- the Nexus 5 is a newer device and it will definitely be better than the Nexus 4. But this does not make the Nexus 4 crap. It served me very well over the past year, and has been one of the best Android phones I've used so far.

out of interest (and as an app developer, albeit a poor one) I'm looking for a nexus 4, so I have the 2 most common screen metrics in the 3 tiers of performance (gnex,nex4,nex5)... I know play stopped selling them now, but I could really do with a cheap nex4 8gb, anyone with a shiny new nex5 selling theirs and if so how much do you expect for it ? ebay sales are just ripping the piss for nexus devices (no idea why)

You are refering to the N5's vibration motor right? Because myself and a few others on the defects thread find the motor to make a loud noise while at the same time very weak kinetic vibration. It's rather irritating, and I'm still deciding if I should get an RMA on it or not.
[Nexus 5 General] FlexiPack:
I can't remember if I mentioned that I had a dead pixel and what looked like dirt under the glass in addition to the light bleed. Here's a photo of the dead pixel (actually two together I think) and dirt. The dead pixel on the left.
