[MENTION=4856691]omer7[/MENTION], I'm a bit confused... You keep mentioning some are 10mhz and others are 5mhz... What exactly would the difference be on the performance of them...?

Secondly I read that Ufone won the bid for getting 3g so... If everyone is getting it, what exactly did they win...? :P

Thirdly... Are the data prices for 3g the same as before...? Rs15/MB or get a bucket for like 200 for 1.5gb... Something like that it was on ufone I remember...

Its so annoying they finally got 3g after I left... Grrrr...

Hope you read the post I did before this one... About the approx range of cost being 9k-ish... I don't know if any of the other people contacted the person, and if they did, I don't know what quote they got...

Hi,

one of my friends was telling this band does have an impact on performance/speed. I myself dont have much idea about these bands, but according to him, higher number is better. 10MHz is better than 5MHz (needs to b confirmed tho, i just mentioned it for info coz Pakistani news channels were quoting that info about bands).

And yeah all carriers except warid got 3g license. Only zong got 3g n4g both license. All companies except warid bid for 3g licenses, then there was auction on 23rd april and i posted above which company got which license. So after getting license they will b allowed to start their services, which they can now.

3g/4g services are not started yet completely, still i guess in testing, like telenor giving free trial of 3g services in selected cities (see attached image). One friend on FB posted mobilink 3g speedtest too, got 2.83Mbps download. So i guess it ll b officially started soon.

And regarding packages, still there's no info of that. Ufone has not started 3g yet, telenor providing it free for trial. So lets see what charges would b after it is officially started by all. Whether package charges remain the same or they change it. ?

[Nexus 5 General] aeoveu:
Regarding the bands, they only determine how much network investment you need to conduct in order to provide the coverage.

It basically affects the coverage.

And even though Telenor secured 5mhz and Mobilink 10, I get telenor's 3G signals inside my house (weak, but I do). That could either mean mobilink's 3G coverage in my area isn't much, or Telenor's booster is on.

To us, it doesn't matter much. To the network provider, it matters more.

Also, did you know that there's also DC-HSPA? Not all phones support it, but if the network does, it significantly increases the download speeds.
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
Ohk. Thanks for this info.

Yeah i m also getting full signals of telenor 3g inside my home. Currently all networks are testing it so quite early to speak about 3g coverage i think.

Like ufone on 2g gives full signals inside my home, but just checked its 3g coverage, i was getting less signals and it auto shifted to edge coz of low 3g signals.

Once companies officially start their 3g service then we ll know about their coverage and speed.

I was getting quite inconsistent speed on ufone 3g. On speedtest, once got 2.83mbps download and 2nd time got only 0.53mbps. On telenor i m getting relatively consistent speed of around 2mbps.

So lets see how their coverage is after it is officially started by all companies.
[Nexus 5 General] aeoveu:
Wireless internet always depends on the operator's traffic prioritization (heck, I discovered a new word today :p ) and the number of users in an area. Like Evo, it can vary.

As for coverage - since 3G is on a 2100MHz channel, the amount of coverage you will get indoors will always be less (the lower the MHz, the more penetration it offers, and vice versa). Unless some other factor comes into play.

Also, I read somewhere that cellular signals, more often than not (or maybe all the time?) Are dependent on the line of sight - and in my area, Telenor are in a rather unfortunate area (horrible line of sight) but interestingly, I can get their 3G signal inside (weak, but its there) unlike Ufone (that only appears when I'm outside).

Also, if I may, are you using 3G on prepaid (Telenor and Ufone)? I've been thinking of porting out of Mobilink's (I have a Mobilink's number, but something just doesn't feel "right" with Mobilink even though they have better coverage and I don't have an issue as such... It's something I can't pinpoint).
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
Yeah i have prepaid ufone and telenor. Ufone on 2g works very well inside my home, i get full signals, i hope it ll b fine on 3g too since they r currently testing it.
[Nexus 5 General] aeoveu:
The last time I used Ufonr's EDGE (sometime mid-last year), it was horrible. I used it in Rawalpindi and Islamabad.

Horrible? Because there wouldn't be ANY network traffic, and that would drain my phone's battery.

They should change the porting buffer from 2 months to 30 days. Seriously.

More and more, I think I'll move to Telenor...again...despite their rather s**tty signals.
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
May be the coverage in areas u used ufone edge was not good, aince it depends on coverage/area, but in my area ufone edge and signals are quite good.

Telenor also do fine job here.
[Nexus 5 General] aeoveu:
Its probably a different story for both EDGE and 3G for both Ufone and Telenor now. I uses Telenor in November or so, and their GPRS stank badly back then.

I don't know whether I should move or not as well. Damn. Why are all the good operators crap?!
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
Honestly speaking i m not a big fan of telenor. Tho i get full signals in my area, but still even their edge speed was not the best, now today even 3g not giving good speed, may b this is peak time, could b one of the reasons and keeping in mind they r still testing it.

But the thing that made me hate telenor is their customer service. U know i wanted to talk to a call center rep, dialed 345 and IVR said, right now all agents r busy so we would request u to call after 10pm ?

And the worst thing is i m not getting option to connect to representative (even if i call after 10pm) in IVR, like it doesnt say "press 0 to talk to rep". Even from my father's telenor sim, i m not getting this option. This is really pathetic.

Anyway i m waiting for companies to announce their 3g packages, then i ll see whichever has good speed n packages i ll use that my second number ?.
[Nexus 5 General] arhamiq:
Anybody who's using the free 3g trial?

Speedy enough?
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
Yes its fine. Speed depends on area too as discussed above. U can try it in ur area what speed u r getting. Test it on speedtest.

I posted my telenor 3g speedtest results above.
[Nexus 5 General] aeoveu:
Their IVR is very dodgy, I agree. I remember you had to go through another option first, then you get the option to contact a CSR.

Also, I usually call through the landline and don't enter my details in the IVR - and I usually get connected quicker hehe.

But never heard of their IVR saying "shoo! Come back later". Perhaps its cause I don't call them using my phone. Also, I always email - better to have something in written, and they usually respond in a day.

---------- Post added at 08:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:41 PM ----------

Also, how is their network now? Last year, it was awful. Awful awful awful. perhaps cause of the network upgradation.

Is it worth using it now?

Mobilink 3G...A random speedtest....in lahore
[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
Telenor?

I dont use telenor much, use warid (my primary number) and ufone (second number).

But we get full signals of telenor here in our area and at most places i have visited (esp in Lahore). My father has telenor sim, and he was telling me telenor was having some issues with signals 2 to 3 months back, but not sure whether that was network issue or phone's issue.

Overall i guess its good, if not the best.

[Nexus 5 General] snak3ater:
Okay.

From this comparison, i can see that G2 is sightly better.. But i would prefer N5 due to quick software updates
[Nexus 5 General] mahrukhsa2:
hello guys.. i want some advice..

qmobile is launching a phone noir z5 so i wanna ask that should i buy nexus 5 or qmobile z5 ??

i want to buy nexus 5 because it will receive updates quick and is branded but my family is in the favour of qmobile..

i m confused about N5 battery time.. i dont use 3g coz i live in sialkot its not available here.. so i will use it on 2g and wifi. i dont use sync and gps much.. so can the phone manage a better battery life ??

i was also considering g2 and g2 mini but they will not receive updates quickly..
[Nexus 5 General] aeoveu:
What's the price difference?

I can tell you that the N5 would probably be better than anything else out there at this stage... Its got that polish that more expensive phones have, but aren't as expensive. Good bang for the buck.

But you need to check your budget as well.
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
LOL don't go for QMobile, please :D

battery time totally depends on your usage, if you facebook, browse or chat a lot you can obtain 4+ SOT easily, my maximum SOT was 6.5 hours with light usage :cowboy:

if you want better battery go for G2 for sure :good:

and for the updates LG tries to keep up on pushing new updates but fails :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] mahrukhsa2:
thnx for helping guys.. :)
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Don't even think about getting a Qmobile... There is NO comparison... You will NEVER get a software update for that...

And I agree with aeveo that the N5 is the best value for money... But I would probably pay a little more for the G2 since I use custom Roms anyway and it has a decent developer section which will update the phone sooner or later via mods...

Sorry dude didn't reply earlier. Well the dbrand skins are pretty expensive as is, so if they saying 2k for it, that's kinda fair. But yes I do agree its expensive for a sticker. Tho they just has a 50% off sitewide sale... Everyone went crazy. But yea I think its the perfect solution to people who want the phone naked yet want to keep the phone protected too...

i want to buy nexus 5.. but i have read about some issues.. like network signal drops.. etc

plz share ur reviews about this phone..

also i have g2 in my consideration and its slightly better than nexus 5 but will it receive android 4.5 or 5.0 ??
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
please read few pages and you'll find good remarks about Nexus 5

some users whine about awful battery, but it's not true and it totally depends on your usage :), i get 5h+ SOT easily

signal drop has not been faced from any user

can't say much about LG G2 getting 4.5 or 5.0 update, but Nexus will surely get it :D

IMO (which doesn't matters here :D ) you should get the device which satisfy your needs, if you need performance go for Nexus 5 or if battery then go for G2 or G3 :p

I am going to buy a Nexus 5 but just wanna know if the volume rocker issue is fixed( if you shake the device it makes an annoying sound) and which one will you prefer white or black and I am going for 16gb version have you guys ever faced low storage issue on nexus 5?

Sent from my phone using an app :)
[Nexus 5 General] kamilmirza:
my volume rocker does make sounds but it's no biggie

I have read that it's fixed in the new production batches

color and storage size depends on your preference and usage :)

I have black with 32GB ;)
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Volume rocker issue was fixed after the 403k phones... But the power button can still be wobbly , but can be easily fixed by putting a small piece of finely cut paper in the slot, best to use a "postit" piece of paper. Or you can open it up and fix it from the inside, which I dont think is needed.

But remember, when you buy in pak, you won't know what batch the phone is from without checking the serial number and all... They do tend to have old stock they try to sell out. I have had to RMA my phone about 3 times, so I used a 311k, a 401k, a 403k and now am using a 404k which is the best so far, but the screen has some slight light bleed, but I'll live with it as its better than the others.

As for color, I would definitely suggest the black due to the rubberized back which gives excellent grip, IF you plan to use the phone naked. Otherwise you can get the white even, or red for that matter. And again, IF you plan to mod your phone and all that good stuff, keep in mind that a single nandroid backup takes 3-4gb or space... So out of 16gb, you only have access to about 10gb... Of those you will lose 4gb to a backup... Your left with 6gb for all games and downloads and music, pics etc... So I would never opt for the 16gb since it can't be expanded...

From where should i buy the the(i live in Lahore) and how can i check the phone from the serial number. What is the current price of 32gb version? Which one do you own 16 or 32? Do you still love your nexus 5?

[Nexus 5 General] omer7:
As far as price and place are concerned, you can check price on CellMart . pk & HomeShopping . pk. CellMart also have their shop in hafeez center.

I buy my phones from hafeez center so you can visit it. Visit different shops to get prices and get the one which is the best. Also cellMart sell most phones without warranty, tho some times they do have warranty phones, you can confirm it from them.

Which serial number you are talking? IMEI number? U can verify it from box, it is also mentioned on box. And u can get IMEI on ur phone by dialing *#06#.
[Nexus 5 General] Xami:
Carphone ware house were selling for 249 Euro that is 33k rupees but I didn't had anyone coming from London and I plan to buy Hammerhead in a week or two.

Anyone know where I can get for less than or = to 36K because Homeshoppping is giving for 38,490 PKR
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
Places to buy in Lahore I can't really comment on since I dont know Lahore. I will urge you to ask anyone coming from the US or UK or any place where the official Google Play store you can order the phone, because the 1 year warranty Is priceless. You can RMA a phone whenever you want for whatever reason.

As for the serial number, its written on the sticker on the box. Not the IMEI, but the S/N. Its always 3 digits followed by a K, which in the current case is either 31*K or 40*K. What it signifies is the manufacture date. The first digit is the year, so 3 means 2013, 4 means 2014. Second and third digits mean the Month. So since the phone launched in November, 2013, all the first batch phones were 311K, which is the first phone I got which had a messed up GPS Module. Now as you can calculate, the newest manufactured phones are 406K, which is June 2014. My current phone is a 404K, which means was made In April 2014.

There was a hardware overhaul in Jan or Feb which made the speaker and mic holes bigger and fixed the volume rocker wobble, so in other words, phones 402K and above should have fixed button wobble.

But again this us just a guild line.

As for if I still love the phone, I do like it a lot... Not a fan of the battery life tho... But I'm trying to get a Oppo One+1 at the moment... 64gb for 35k with a 801 processor and 3gb ram... Count Me in...!!

[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
I dont know what earpiece problem your talking about, the nexus 4 had earpiece probs, not the N5. Also they are offficial sellers, but i wouldnt know what batch they have in stock.

Personally... Hell frikking no. 1500 for 1 screen protector?!

Go to the xtremeguard website. Google for some coupon codes... They usually have something like buy 3 and get 90% off. I remember I got 3 front and 1 back N5 protectors, along with 2 front and 2 back N4 protectors, and the total was like $5! That's Rs500 for 8 protectors. And personally I think they are excellent, except more effort to apply being Wet Screen Protectors.

Anyhow, they do ship internationally and I think to Pakistan as well, tho of course you will need to pay the shipping fee. I think if you get 3 protectors with shipping, it won't be more than $10, which is Rs1000.

I will check them out, thanks!
[Nexus 5 General] DrunkFuX666:
I'm sorry but those reasons are terrible.

Firstly, the huge Nexus written in the smack center of the screen ruins the whole beauty of the full HD screen. Its a waste to leave that hideous thing on.

As for "solid"... I dont know what that means, but I dont see how any other screen protector wouldn't be "solid" as iv used Rs 50-Rs1000 protectors and the only difference would be between wet and dry installed ones, wet being more rubbery texture while dry being more hard.

And the Factory Fitting/No bubbles reason... If that's a concern then you need to get it installed via someone who knows what they are doing. Having said that, using a wet protector gives you ALOT more room for error as all the bubbles will go away by them self and you have the luxury of applying the protector then moving it around to align it perfectly.

My current protector tho is a Dry one because I was too lazy to go thru the effort of doing a wet application and waiting for it to dry, and I screwed the installation up big time because I accidentally removed the film numbered "2" first, but still I managed to get a perfect installation with zero air bubbles, even tho I had to lift and reapply at least 5-8 times.

By far the BIGGEST thing you need to be careful of when applying a protector is, you need to do it in a CLEAN area with no dust, sand or fiber. If you do that, you will not get any airbubbles. You will notice that when you get a air bubble it can ALWAYS be pushed out with a squeegee UNLESS a small particle of dust, or fiber or some minute thing has gotten stuck there. Then you can't do anything other than try to manually remove the it. You should also keep the fan off to prevent the dust being circulated In the air. I've probably applied about 50 screen protectors over the past couple of years, and this is the most imp factor. I haven't had a bad install for about 2 years now.
