google seems to have them in stock but wont ship them, maybe they keeping a reserve for RMAs, looking at carphonewarehouse they have them back in stock too
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
I'm pretty sure it's common and good practice for them to keep a certain allocation for RMA's which will be separate from Play Store stock. It's not they don't want to ship regular stock it's just customer service.
[Nexus 5 General] milesg:
Anyone in the UK want a free SPIGEN Ultra Fit Smooth White Case for their Nexus 5? I ordered one from Amazon and it arrived today but I find with it on the phone is a tad too large for comfortable one handed use.

'Tis almost the season of goodwill after all!

UPDATE: Case is gone - [MENTION=2271602]PulpzillA[/MENTION] was first to PM me.
[Nexus 5 General] chi_heng:
A known issue with Nexus 5 camera. Apparently Google will push an firmware update to address the slow focus. No ETA, though.
[Nexus 5 General] Mutilatory:
Anyone gotten their Nexus 5 dispatched after being ordered on or after the 7th Nov?
[Nexus 5 General] Pard0ned:
Damn. Half an hour too late. Very generous of you though. :)
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
White 16GB ordered on the 7th and arrived on 11th
[Nexus 5 General] Mutilatory:
Ah should have specified I meant the Black 16GB one !
[Nexus 5 General] aindow:
Which version do you have? I ordered my RMA on Saturday and still haven't had my shipping email. I've got a 32gb black.

Rik.
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
I've got the 32GB white which for whatever reason seems the least popular as even my original was ordered on the 8th evening and came the 12th.
[Nexus 5 General] esiemi:
ordered 16gb black on 6th, still waiting, getting a bit tired of this waiting game especially when CPW have them in stock again, meaning google supplies them first and dont give a **** about us who bought directly.
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
It will be LG's distribution network supplying them, not Google
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
The enthusiasm in this one is strong

(guy in the video)
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
DHL last time I ordered I think. Maybe they have links with several couriers though and just pick according to who can do the deliveries at the time.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
he seems like a bit of a jackass if im honest...
[Nexus 5 General] nickj2010:
Had a look on the site and it says "Saturday deliveries are at the discretion of the couriers." so... possibly, pretty lame that they don't have a definite answer for that question...
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
There seems to be a better supply this time, but still some delay until its dispatched even if ordered now. Bit miffed that though it says sent out in one to two days it's actually longer than this. Was worried the 32GB model would have long delays.
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
i'd say sent monday tbh with the amount of orders they're getting I wouldn't be surprised

The whole review shouts "we don't care android" surprised Google even bothered letting them of all people have the first look
[Nexus 5 General] ralph78:
Anyone got email confirmation yet?

Sent from my N4
[Nexus 5 General] jonyid:
after an hour of waiting i have a 16gb black nexus 5 on order to be delivered monday from carphone warehouse. Also ordered a case and may have to wait for the screen protector, does it ahve gorilla glass to prevent scratches?
[Nexus 5 General] androidfish:
Ordered from CPW after a 50 minute wait. Black, 16gb, delivery tomorrow (at least that's what they told me).

Seem to have received four confirmation emails! All the same order number though, so hopefully only one phone (and only charged once!)

Have a 16gb nexus 7 and never found myself running into space issues.

Now to agonize over which case to buy :silly:
[Nexus 5 General] Super Chimp:
I got mine straight off isn't that normally practice with the Play store, haven't used it in ages?
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
gorilla glass 3 yes ..
[Nexus 5 General] ralph78:
Mine is still pending also when I placed the order I got information that I will receive my email confirmation in about 15 minutes. It was about hour ago. The money are taken from my account already...

Sent from my N4
[Nexus 5 General] Surfy89:
Are the ones sold from CPW getting locked to the first sim card?
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
credit card is showing that google has taken the money , but still " pending"
[Nexus 5 General] 666fff:
Hey did you get through to cpw? I'm at 40 minutes...

:s
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
im still on the phone, but im thinking about giving up tbh .. one guy got through a few mins ago and its coming on monday for him... i might just ring tomorrow see if i can walk in and pick it up
[Nexus 5 General] Rox598:
just watched a video review from 3 and noticed the lack of the "ok Google" option flashing in the google search bar

Sure that google now already has this feature but it's for US only looks like this one is swell unless you need to switch it on
[Nexus 5 General] r0cafella:
Listening to the Vergecast and I can't stand Nilay.

He never has anything positive to say about Android period, I find it laughable that he compares a 5C to the Nexus 5 and wants to compare on price.
[Nexus 5 General] italia0101:
i saw that too and thought the same thing... but .. if you watch this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9z5kBU-YiY&feature=youtube_gdata_player

and skip to 40 seconds in.. it doesnt say " ok google" but still opens without a press
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
how do u know? :( i didnt order from playstore thought that I would be able to get it from cpw.
[Nexus 5 General] nareik91:
I also had to order an RMA on Saturday as I have flickering horizontal lines on my 32GB Black, it says Dispatching on 11th December which is a little depressing...
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
anyone else having this problem. my wifi is turned off but in my battery status its showing on :confused:
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
well..

A) not sure what you think you are looking at, but that is not the "current" status of wifi

and

B) WTF are u doing up at this time :)

EDIT : to expand on what I said, that is not the current status, but rather "history" of that state over the time period displayed. However if you mean that you have had your wifi off for the past 13h 9m 6s then yes, that would be odd
[Nexus 5 General] Rusty!:
By default, WiFi is on even when off. It's a location thing. You can disable that in the advanced WiFi settings.
[Nexus 5 General] teekaytk:
Very disappointed with camera results last night at WWE at Leeds arena. Every one else's camera seem to be taking good pics except mine. The stage was appearing completely washed out.no amount of settings helped :(
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
There aren't many settings, which is part of the problem. However you can focus on another part of the screen by dragging the circle - and it might adjust the exposure too.

I see why Google wanted to make the camera very simple - just point and shoot - but there's a reason why other manufacturers have things like intelligent auto or multiple camera modes!
[Nexus 5 General] lombardo8:
Anyone interested in a black 16GB can PM me. I have 2 that have been sat at my local post office for 2 weeks now. I am not planning on collecting them cause I want them returned to Google without me incurring shipping charges. Anyone interested pays cost + shipping (£310)
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Google really are fantastic as I received a perfect replacement today after sorting out my RMA yesterday. Obviously I'm one of the lucky ones to have chosen the less popular 32GB white but I can't see anything wrong with this one, however I'm not going to go out of my way to read the complaints thread and search for issues as far as I'm concerned if it's not affecting my day to day use I don't care.

I also received my Spigen ultra hybrid case and not overly impressed by it as the inside back got instantly dirty as soon as I removed the film and when trying to clean it it just gets smudged and worse. It's pretty chunky (not always a bad thing) after getting used to how thin the phone was naked. The fit is ok except down the sides you can notice it has a bit of space the further down you go but that may due to the contours of the phone changing slightly as it gets to the bottom. I've never really liked hard cases so will wait for a decent TPU from Capdase or similar that will hopefully be designed with a closer fit to the actual phone rather than a flat rectangle.

Now to just enjoy the phone and go through the unlock and root process again tomorrow.
[Nexus 5 General] nareik91:
Received my shipping confirmation at 17:11 today - hopefully yours has come to or is on the way?
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
lol slept all day couldn't sleep at night so was messing around with the phone then noticed that. i keep my wifi off most of the time but it's showing on when i check battery usage. my location also turned off as well as Google now. any one else having this issue?
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Go to advances settings in WiFi and disable that always on thing.
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
Like i said you are not looking at current status, and also it is quite a passive use for location (secondary) services...not much to worry about really.
[Nexus 5 General] Kiko_1272:
Maybe not so related but I thought it was quite nice of Google to do.

I was walking to uni and was stopped by a Google Rep who asked me if I could help her.

Long story short what they are doing is recording people in the UK saying different phrases.

This is so that the new Voice Recognition is able to get used to the UK Accent.

Hence removing the whole "Ok, Google" only being available in US English.

Many of the phrases actually started with "Ok, Google".

So as it would seem Google are working hard to apply Voice Recognition to other parts of the world. :D
[Nexus 5 General] sohell:
That sounds very cool - which uni was it?
[Nexus 5 General] aindow:
I've not heard anything yet.
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
anyone here either using my app or another sms app instead of hangouts and when a notification appears by that app, when they touch on it what happens ?

Expected : Goes to that app and to the conversation to which the notification was relating to

Actual : Nothing, and if you read the ADB log there is a permissions error

I have seen this posted as an Android AOSP bug, but cant belive it is, although happens in smart messenger as the bug says it does...

Cheers
[Nexus 5 General] gyoung:
Hello. When did u buy your N5? Was it black? p.s i bought mine on the 7/11 but still haven't got any shipping confirmation :s
[Nexus 5 General] Tom540:
Went to a carphone warehouse today and they are now selling 16gb (both black and white) for £329, despite the website only saying contract, and apparently they have loads of stock. Im still getting it from the play store though
[Nexus 5 General] bobmarsh72:
I think he got a RMA. I also ordered mine on 7/11 16gb black and it states to leave warehouse on 11/12 order still states pending.
[Nexus 5 General] bboran:
I am living in Istanbul, TURKEY but i have a friend in London and she will come to Istanbul at 13 December. She is going to bring the phone to me but we dont know where to buy. Where can she buy the phone from London? Thank you.

And it must be sim free of course.
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Did anyone have a RMA order shipped and it's status says

"Parcel placed into secure container"?
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Yep when I RMA'd mine that was the status it was in when I received it the next day so I actually didn't expect to get it. It seems they just didn't update the tracking information as my original unit stayed in that status for all of an hour or two before being loaded and out for delivery.
[Nexus 5 General] lombardo8:
Hi. Do you require a black 16GB? I have a spare one boxed and sealed that I am selling for £320. East London area.

The only brick and mortar place to buy the N5 are the Three store, O2 (32GB exclusive), Carphone Warehouse and you'll have to take out a contract. You can buy outright on Playstore but there is a 2 week wait for white ones and 4 weeks for black.
[Nexus 5 General] gyoung:
Hello guys! I got my shipping confirmation this morning. It's now with Parcelforce. Looking forward to get it by tomorrow. p.s I Bought it on 7/11. Black 16GB Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Nice one thanks!

Turns out it arrived this morning anyway :)

Did you have a pre paid UPS or ParcelForce bag inside the shipping box?
[Nexus 5 General] lordromanov01:
First N5: Dead pixel. RMA'd it

Second: Vibration motor very weak and a bit loud. RMA'd it

Third: Received today. Vibration motor is strong but very loud and sounds loose. Plus a dead pixel.

Think I will RMA again. Maybe one day I will get a Nexus 5 that has actually been built properly!

Am I being silly for expecting too much? I will getting my fourth Nexus...
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Yeah it must just be a case of computer says no for their tracking updates :laugh:

Yeah under my phone box was a parcelforce bag neatly placed lining the box. I stupidly stuck my phone in and sealed the back without restoring it to stock so had to cut open the bag and re-seal with selotape. I'm hoping they accept it as I wrote on the side that I did it and signed it.

I also forgot to restore the stock recovery and wish I hadn't flashed the stock image as it's not the stock for us here as includes things such as tap to pay and different options in the settings menu so they'll obviously know it's been flashed and played with etc. It is a developers phone so hopefully they'll just refund me and be done. In future I won't be so eager and read the stickied posts on returning to stock etc.
[Nexus 5 General] arnozzle:
I just bought mine (black 16gb) form CPW in Oxford (conrmarket street), paid £329 cash, no contract ,no sim etc...I figured £30 premium to save me delivery cost and be able to inspect device for production faults was worth it...they didn't mention it requiring a contract at all...
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
:laugh: sounds like you was equally eager to send it back to Google as you was in rooting it :D.

Where did you drop off the Parcel Force package? Can you do it at the local Post office?

Is your replacement device 100% spot on or does it still have a little light bleeding?

Having had a look at my replacement it is better than my old one but still a little bit present on the top left still.
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Yeah I'm always a little eager to unlock and root as think things will be perfect so don't check first :silly: I'm hoping their openness to developers and ease of flashing the correct software will get me off.

Yeah you just take it to any Post Office and they'll give you a tracking receipt so if they don't receive it they can at least investigate and give the money back as you have proof of dispatch.

It's looks good enough to me. I've always just put up with light bleed on any device as it's to be expected from edge-lit screens with the worst being my Asus Transformer which has light bleed from all sides but in day to day operation isn't actually that noticeable. With my first N5 it wasn't overly noticeable and same with this one so doesn't bother me. I don't game on my phone or watch many videos so there's not many occasions of black screens for me to even notice if it had bad light bleed. I also don't go looking for issues, the way I see it if it affects my day to day use then it needs addressing otherwise I'm not bothered.
[Nexus 5 General] Dirk:
I have a theory that phones that have been sent back RMA just get sent out again to new customers. At this stage when new stock is low, all the phones in circulation are just defective units!
[Nexus 5 General] lombardo8:
My Nexus 5s have been at the post office for 14 days now and will probably be sent back to Google tomorrow or the day after. I am so tempted to go and pick them up today but I just cant find any justification to upgrade..... arghhhh....decisions...
[Nexus 5 General] esiemi:
same here, bought on the 6th, should get it tomorrow :)
[Nexus 5 General] lordromanov01:
Well in that case I wouldn't mind my first one back! The only problem with that one was a dead pixel and I never even noticed it. An annoying vibration motor is far worse in my opinion.
[Nexus 5 General] manishd3:
Hi guys,

Opened my 32GB White Nexus today (delivered sometime last week but wasn't home). Volume button is very rattly, didnt think it'd be a problem but it's so noticeable. Power button is fine. My speaker is actually quite loud compared to my GS3 (albeit a bit more distorted with worse quality sound). Vibration motor is weak, but no noticeable problem from it.

I've called Google about the rattly volume button and they'll send another Nexus to RMA, but was wondering if it's worth me exchanging the units. I love the phone, but really annoyed at how many manufacturing defects there have been (before I got the phone I was assured that it was just a loud minorty complaining about build quality).

Does anyone know if Google will accept the "new" phone back if I find more faults to it than my original Nexus?
[Nexus 5 General] undercover:
Yup, you can keep current one and send new one back.
[Nexus 5 General] Pard0ned:
AFAIK, you need to send the original back. This is because the form that they give you for RMA purposes has the imei number from the phone that you arranged the RMA for.

I'd say the only way you can return the replacement is to not open it and send it straight back. Otherwise you have to do another RMA for the replacement that you got.
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Mine has a slight rattle from the power button but nothing with the volume buttons which is fine however I definitely wouldn't send it back as isn't annoying me during use.

As said though you can't give back the new one instead of the old one as it's done based on IMEI number and I've read someone has already tried but got asked for the original one when they did another RMA otherwise would get charged or something like that.
[Nexus 5 General] big_b0sss:
flashed custom rom yesterday. i always used pie on my nexus 4. after hiding the nev bar i have noticed my bottom part of the screen where usually the nav bar stays is yellowish :(. scared to rma incase i get a device with dead pixel or lose vibration motor :( think gonna use this device for another month then will rma
[Nexus 5 General] MLAM:
Well my RMA unit turned up today.

Definitely from a newer batch as it didn't prompt for the update like the launch day unit.

Light bleed is a bit better but still a bit on top left corner.

Everything else seems ok BUT...

....The screen tint is much more yellow than my original unit...

My original has to go back due to the RMA assigned under that serial number.

Not sure if I should RMA again or not.

Does anyone know if I can RMA at any time? I.e after new year as it is a "Fault"
[Nexus 5 General] manishd3:
I think I'm going to forgoe the RMA for the time being and live with the volume button rattle. My screen is perfectly fine (even if it seems a bit washed out, but maybe because I'm coming from the Galaxy S3 AMOLED?). My speaker volume is perfectly loud, bit distorted, but goes above the volume level of my S3 and the vibration is of an adequate level.

I don't think it's worth going through the hassle of constant RMA-ing to get the "perfect" unit. I'll wait a while and keep an eye on the forums to see if units from a few months time have significant improvements and might consider then. Enjoying the phone now that it's all set up though! Love the feel of the phone compared to the glossy slimy Samsung!
[Nexus 5 General] bogdan_wrc:
so whats the delivery time in UK? i plan to order it though a friend and want to know if it arrives by the holidays, and if there were some warranty issues, like screen..or smth?
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
I just put a performance selector in my app settings (for things like anims etc as android has no way to reference performance of a device without testing it) and decided to put hints of devices next to the numbers, tested my nexus 5 on a few benchmarks and it come in above the s4 in the majority of tests (even though the s4 is supposed to be hacky to go faster in some of those tests)

Proud moment :)

wow this is quite stunning, I like the "not only" bit
[Nexus 5 General] Quinny899:
So mine shipped this morning at about 9:00.

It said "before 11/12/13" on my order, so this is very early

And they're out of stock still

Anyone else?

Set up Parcel Buddy on my Gnex to notify me, seems to be working :)
[Nexus 5 General] jwsg:
Same here - ordered 7th and was told the 11th too. Nearly gave in and went for a Moto G but no 16GBs so held on.
[Nexus 5 General] Quinny899:
I wonder if those who ordered on the 7th had theirs shipped early (IIRC the 7th was the first day to have that date and not the 22nd)
[Nexus 5 General] jwsg:
I guess we were first in line if more came in the 22nd batch than were needed - perhaps some people had cancelled. They don't have loads extra though - as they still show 3-4 weeks for new orders. I got a nokia wireless charger off eBay but no case yet as I wasn't expecting to get the nexus so soon.
[Nexus 5 General] Quinny899:
I already have a QI charger for my N7 FHD, and am looking at the Spigen Hybrid case:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/SPIGEN-Anti...8&qid=1384891844&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+5+case

Also, which Nokia charger? Might get one to have two easy access chargers
[Nexus 5 General] jwsg:
Nokia DT-900 Seller DC TRADE1 had some black Grade B for £23 - haven't tested but looks OK to me. They have red and white today I think.

Went for the Spigen Ultra Fit hard case as it seems to have plenty of space around the socket openings. I've just received a meenova http://www.meenova.com/st/p/m3r.html which I can also use in my Nexus 7 and which is more secure than my OTG adapter. Using Nexus Media Importer app rather than rooting which caused me a few probs with OTA updates before - as I'm still waiting on Kit Kat for the tablet.
[Nexus 5 General] AvRS:
Just a heads up I bought the Ultra Hybrid and not impressed to be honest. The buttons are way too sensitive with it on as well as being flat so can't really feel around for them. I'm always turning it on and off when pulling it out of my pocket and makes the phone bulky as squares everything off leaving gaps in places such as near the bottom and down the sides which you can feel as you run your fingers down it. The i-Blason equivalent is apparently better as well as the Ringke Fusion or something like that. I'm changing for a TPU case as not liking the hard case.
[Nexus 5 General] jonmorris:
It's not the greatest case to use the phone in (for reasons already mentioned, such as how easy it is to press buttons you don't want to by simply holding it - not even tightly), but I bought mine (as I expect everyone did) because it was available at the launch of the N5, in stock, at a great price and included a screen protector (or at least mine did).

The same company appears to make a lot of nicer looking, sleeker, cases - so I'd not really recommend this case now. However, I wanted something on the phone to protect it when I first bought it, so I'd still say it was good value for money overall.
[Nexus 5 General] deanwray:
for my previous phones depending on use I always used to go with otterbox, expensive but safe, either defender or the lighter commuter series, but no sign they are doing one for n5 :(
[Nexus 5 General] Deeco7:
Well it's been over a week since I moved to Three, and I discovered that the data speeds have not been to what I expected. I don't notice anything in terms of speed of data pull in apps, just m high download speeds in speed test apps.
[Nexus 5 General] Quinny899:
In light of shipping yesterday, it's just been delivered (signed for at home). Now starts the long wait until Christmas
[Nexus 5 General] esiemi:
got the phone, its perfect apart from the loud speaker, too much distortion
[Nexus 5 General] nikzDHD:
Just hold on 4G next month should improve hopefully.
[Nexus 5 General] Quinny899:
I've used it on 2 other N5s, and it seems fine to me. If it's bad I don't mind buying a better one when they come out
