[Nexus 5 General] nap007:
sigh, unfortunately I can't wait, my current phone is dying, actually originally I've been waiting for these new high end phablets especially the htc one max but htc dropped their balls really really harf with such underwhelming specs, not to mention htc phones are as expensive as samsung here I think, one of the reason I was hoping for htc because of their sense, been a long time admirer of it since touchflo days with winmo but surprisingly never owned an htc device lol... just when I finally about to get one they came up with rubbish phone lol.

don't like the bloatware infested samsung phones as well as their annualy rising apple like insanely high prices

lg g2 is quite nice but I don't like their ui too, as well as their less than average software updates support

then there is sony phones, for some time I liked sony ericsson very much on the days of P800-900 as well as the very first xperia phone but their current fetish with water proof phones just put me off, report says they have terrible sounds as well as underwhelming display, I don't like the ui either lol

so in a way, nexus 5 is my last hope for a 2013 flagship phone, either this or I'll wait to see the next htc flagship which is probably still 6+ months away unfortunately

overall it's sucks to be in this position lol
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
it is normal for modern smartphone, only the downside for me is development, development on N4 is almost reach its max, and everything will be steady, no more surprise whatsoever.

I tried my friend's S4, it's hot when playing game, not N4 hot but it is plastic while n4 is glass.

try to undervolt the cpu it will be much cooler, never had any heat issue unless the phone is constantly searching for signal cause i am in poor coverage area which is pretty normal on any phone.
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
yeah it sucks man..

if you can't wait that long, buy S4 or any samsung device and sell it when N5 is released here.

sure the price will go down but not much since a lot of people here love Samsung lol

Or buy N4, not too bad for the price, but don't expect too much about its resell value.
[Nexus 5 General] kizakiyuria:
waiting this baby for a month,hope will coming ASAP on blibli or some :D
[Nexus 5 General] wafflepancake:
that's what i men

nexus 4 made by glass, pretty but much heat

cant play HD game for a long time

but unfortunately nexus 5 is bigger, i feel nexus 4 size is perfect
[Nexus 5 General] Chris_n00bz:
I got my Nexus 4 at 5 million back in February from kaskus. Crazily around 50% more expensive than in playstore.
[Nexus 5 General] andreMusers:
bro kira2 harga nexus 5 yang 32 GB brapaa ye?

sorry my english bad:p
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
so far no official statement from LG regarding N5 availability on the non-play store available country.

if you buy from play store it costs $400 plus tax for 32GB variant.

google translate is okay bro.
[Nexus 5 General] nap007:
question, if I imported this phone from australia, will it work on indonesian carriers? all functionality will still intact?
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
Answered the same question couple times, and it is on the previous page.

next time try read before asking.

the answer is yes btw
[Nexus 5 General] nap007:
ah sorry about that... looks like I'll have a relative to buy it for me from australia, it's said to cost aus$450 with 10% GST discount, an awesome price considering the prospect of it becoming like 6m rupiah here lol...

but I'll have to wait for battery reviews and whether or not there's some defects... tough choice considering a. the phone is either selling like hotcakes or it's still only in very limited availability b. the person I'd ask to buy is gonna have to comeback here later this month with the phone shipment will likely have to wait so the timetable is very tight c. the battery and product quality is something that can't really be predicted... lol... decision.... *walking in circles* :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] HenryLucky_:
I don't get what you meant, you said that you bought Nexus 5 from Erafone while LG authorized centre doesn't even have it yet? ummm.... strange :confused:

how can .... !
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
I mean N4, what magic I use if I have N5 now. lol
[Nexus 5 General] Chris_n00bz:
If I were you, I'd wait for another month or two since I'd like to know more about the battery, general reviews and developer's support. After all, what a waste to have a Nexus device without custom ROM and kernel... LoL

Furthermore, I remember that many Nexus 4 devices manufactured before Jan 13 have defect problems (ie. creaking sound in the bottom of the device). This problem, however, was solved later on.
[Nexus 5 General] nap007:
ah apparently I can't get the phone from aussie on time so I'd have to wait for the phone to be officially sold on Indonesia.
[Nexus 5 General] savantist:
Hi there! :)

just hoping Nexus 5 price isn't higher than last year's Nexus 4... :)

so I can upgrade to that hammerhead... :D

unfortunately, I still use maguro which didn't get the kitkat... :(
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
I think the price depends on which size of the storage will arrive here. I think it will be 5M for 16GB version and 5.5M for 32GB one. I doubt both will be available here, just like 8 GB nexus 4 which is not available here.

I hope it will arrive as of early December
[Nexus 5 General] coldmalice:
^

this :good:

waiting for review is the best thing to do, since this phone isn't cheap in our country
[Nexus 5 General] onmyouji:
One of the review from Ars Technica: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2013/11/nexus-5-review-flagship-hardware-for-half-the-price/
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
I hope it will be the 32GB variant, and costs no more than 5.5M

I guess it will be available between late December until early January, just like N4.
[Nexus 5 General] azhurvadal:
I think the price will be around 6m.

Google price for 16gb version is $350. Add (at least) $100 to $150 for logistic cost & tax. Multiply it with 12.000 and you got 6m.

Unless 3 months later rupiah reach 10.000 (which I heavily doubt it)
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
I guess it's not possible, unless the G2 price is going up.

G2 which is LG's current flagship, have a better camera and 'more features' prices is on 6.5M.

So n5 can't be on that price too.

And I read in some pages the unlocked non-playstore N5 prices at US$489.
[Nexus 5 General] Mr.Kopong:
howto buy nexus 5 form play store?

and how abouth the shipping?

can you explain for me?

thanks brefore :D [pm ane gan :crying:]
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
From the Nexus S to Nexus 4, the price of Nexus phones never exceeds 6 million rupiahs. It's always 5.5 rupiahs initially
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
You can't unless you live in playstore available country or you have friend in that country.
[Nexus 5 General] azhurvadal:
It's true that Nexus phones price never exceeded 5,5m, but remember that rupiah value was always under 10.000, until recently.

Last year n4 was priced 5,5k when rupiah was below 10.000. Now rupiah is almost 12.000, around 20% rise.

I'm pretty sure that n5 will be priced below LG G2. But G2 price was 6,8m. So 6m on n5 is very possible.

We shall see together next year. Just don't get your hopes too high guys on the price.
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
G2 prices is at 6.5M now.

I doubt it will be at 6M, but the possibility is high when it comes to the 32GB variant.

Btw Rupiah still at 11.3xx, not even close to 12.xxx, I hope it will be at 10.9xx at December or January.

EDIT: Just checked the latest currency and Rupiah is at 11.410. Damn!
[Nexus 5 General] thisispkn:
So nobody here has any private chanels? it's the same issue with the new Nexus 7, can't get a hold of it, I live in Surabaya and have had contact with each and every supplier...to no avail. I did see a few new Nexus 7 models for sale through Kaskus, so I know some users simply buy or order them overseas.

Out of the three things that I want, none is available in Indonesia...It's so frustrating, this used to be THE market that adopted everything first, you wanted a new product? Indo would have it...I'm very frustrated by this. I want to have a nexus 5, a nexus 7 2013 edition, and/or a Galaxy Note 10 inch, the new model, and none is out.

Indonesia has a huge market, come on Google :(
[Nexus 5 General] valent|n0:
I will be bringing 16 gb white and 32 gb white to surabaya on early january 2014

pm me if you are interested
[Nexus 5 General] Rothan77:
Totally agree with you bro.

With blackberry is on the way out.

Google should take more interest in Indonesia.

Or they want to let Samsung take over and then back stab Google with Tizen :laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] Maritime:
I heard LTE is operating at 2.3Ghz in Indonesia. Is that band 40? So no lte for both d820 and d821 in Indonesia?
[Nexus 5 General] chinamen888:
Anyone know when this device coming to india?
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
It doesn't even exist yet, but if it coming I believe the carrier will have some kind of on-contract phone like in the US, so you can use their LTE network.

Why India? This is Indonesian thread, afaik no official statement from LG nor Google yet for International release.
[Nexus 5 General] Maritime:
I think they just announced it last week. Operator's name is bolt 4g. Only operating in jabodetabek at 2.3Ghz. Probably other lte will also be at 2.3 Ghz.
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
From ibtimes India, Nexus 5 officially released in Indian stores next week for 2999 rupee which is about 5.5M in Rupiah.
[Nexus 5 General] yukarundeng:

Jeruknipis leaks that the peorder of Nexus 5 will be opened in early December. The device will begin to be sold in January
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
The possibility is high when pre-order opened it will be available at blibli or lazada, just like Nexus 4 days. I personally prefer to wait and buy from erafone or another local store tho
[Nexus 5 General] Maritime:
any price leaks?
[Nexus 5 General] locke84:
Hey guys,

Nice to meet you all,

At last, after two and more years being a silent reader in XDA, I decided to drop down here to unlock all my privilege in this awesome forum :p.

Wow..the pre-order already start from early December, that's fast, really curious about the price though.

Some early post mention about whether or not the Nexus 5 can be used in Indonesia, I think the nexus 5 will work fine in Indonesia, have no worries.

Anyway, I am planning to visit Jakarta on January bringing my Nexus 5 along, will post it later if I found any problem (which I highly doubt).
[Nexus 5 General] reddvilzz:
Any of you already bought it from outside Indonesia? What do you think about claiming the guarantee service in our country? Since the guarantee are for the country you bought it from so i anything happens to the n5 bought outside from indonesia you can't claim for its guarantee right?
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
In N4 case, if you bought from Google the guarantee is from google, you can't claim it on LG. And I don't know if LG has any International warranty support.

If you are the one who worried too much about warranty better wait for it to go official in Indonesia.
[Nexus 5 General] locke84:
Ditto this..

Yap, LG doesn't cover Nexus 5 sold from Google Play and, apparently, buying Nexus 5 from play store is like lottery, there are quite some cases of dead pixels, loose power button, etc. So waiting is more than wise decision.
[Nexus 5 General] Maritime:
if you buy in Indonesia, will the nexus 5 have pure android since it is not sold from google play?
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
Are you kidding me?

Pure android has nothing to do with Google Play. :banghead:
[Nexus 5 General] Maritime:
Devices sold in google play are all pure android. Like samsung s4 and htc one in google play, they will not have samsung or htc apps installed like samsung touchwiz. If you get them elsewhere, it will contain bloatware. I am just wondering if you buy nexus 5 in indonesia will it have pure android or will it be installed with lg apps? I dont have nexus 4, so i dont know what its like.
[Nexus 5 General] locke84:
No problem, you can always re-flash it with pure KK ROM :p
[Nexus 5 General] drhonk:
All Nexus devices, regardless on who makes them (LG, Asus, or Samsung/HTC for older nexuses) and where you purchase them, will always have pure android with no bloatware. This has always been the Nexus trademark for a pure android experience device.

If you bought a Nexus device runs other ROM .. then my friend .. you just bought a fake. :)
[Nexus 5 General] drhonk:
Nope that's not always the case. I was helping a friend with his N4 that he purchased directly from Google and Google support weren't able to help him since he's not in the US. They told him to contact LG instead.
[Nexus 5 General] Maritime:
Thanks. I never bought a nexus device before so this will be my first pure android experience. Cant wait to get one.
[Nexus 5 General] Maritime:
I ordered 2 nexus 5 and just received it yesterday, one is in good condition the other one has 1 dead pixel in the center :( lucky that I'm still here so I can do return. Yup, better to buy it in Indonesia when its available for the warranty especially after reading a lot of dust / dead pixel screen issue. Hopefully the one in Indonesia is a newer batch with better quality control.
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
Yes hopefully newer hardware revision.
[Nexus 5 General] tyj:
HI ya all

gotta admit, i am a newbie in the smartphone world (android, windows, IOS) just completely clueless. heck my current phone is an old blackberry curve. wanting to upgrade to smartphone for a while now but none has really caught my eyes, and then comes Nexus 5.

after much researching on the net and reading about "pure android" and such it seems like nexus is intended for those who like to "mess" with their phone.

question is, will it still be w very good phone for someone who prob wont do much messing about with it?? with the price range smartphones that caught my eyes currently are only nexus 5 and HTC one mini

appreciate the enlightenment anyone can shed this way
[Nexus 5 General] reddvilzz:
Not really though all nexus users is someone that like to mess up with their phone. Other prefers just to enjoy the stock settings with stock rom from nexus itself, it is all personal preference. For me messing up with smartphone especially android is fun and challenging with an aim to make it more smoother and have lots of features than the stock rom can give.

Of course this nexus 5 will definitely good even without you messing it up, after all you're gonna use pure android from the android creator itself so not messing it up will definitely still worth to be used.

Damn really can't wait for this n5 comes out in Indonesia. Any updated news about when will it comes? Can't wait for january
[Nexus 5 General] locke84:
Depends on what you mean by " very good phone" and "wont do much messing". I do must warn you that stock ROM android 4.4 is..what is the word I'm looking for...hmm "plain" ? user experience wise, maybe you will be left more satisfied sticking with HTC or other devices that get manufacturer's custom user experience, such as sense and touchwiz.Although, performance wise, it will work just fine with no problem (smooth, no force close, etc).

Anyway considering you are new to smartphone (well, BB is a smartphone though..;)), probably you won't get disappointed by Nexus 5, performance wise, at least.
[Nexus 5 General] tyj:
well if you insist, ok blackberry IS a smartphone haha

thats the problem, i don't even know whats ROM! this is what have been discouraging me a bit about getting a nexus 5. all this "ROM" "kernel" mumbo zumbo, make it sounds like nexus is indeed intended for developer or at least somebody who is tech savvy and will spends time mucking around everything inside the phone

oh well, i get your point about i would prob be more satisfied UI wise with HTC or others thats is not "pure". but for pretty much the same price the specs on the nexus is higher in every part. arent we a greedy bunch haha

guess the only way i will know this for sure is if i get to try hands on with the nexus and the htc mini....which prob will never happen.....

ahhhh.....back to more pondering then........

cheers
[Nexus 5 General] locke84:
Yeah, Nexus 5' specs are tempting given its price tag.

If you don't want to mess around with ROM or kernel, there is always the option of installing third party apps for more features and If you decide to root, then you can get to tinker more..

Just as I said, you can expect smooth and fast multitask in Nexus 5, but not feature-rich user experience. Oh and one more, if your nexus 5 doesn't come with 4.4.1 then, at the very least, you should consider do an OTA update for it.

while at it:

My performance benchmark,
[Nexus 5 General] novanvandy:
Well, i was hoping that at least by the beginning of next year this smartphone is already in my pocket. Have waiting so long for my Galaxy SII replacement. Not saying that this little monster cannot perform well ;)

Since it would came with no ext memory, i would go with the 32GB. But if the price went up more than 5M i should say good bye to it. It's way too much even with its specifications.

I've been doing my search but still no dependable info when it would hit indonesian market or at least where can we do pre order or something like that...:(
[Nexus 5 General] ghost141:
Nokia 6030 > Nokia N73 > Galaxy Wonder i8150 ANCORA > NEXUS 5 HAMMERHEAD.

Actually i was planning to get nexus 4 but since 16GB does not satisfy myself, i forget that device.

After 2 month, hear the news on nexus 4 2nd edition, and here come nexus 5 32GB. :silly:

I gotta get this gadget no matter what. I really hope the price is below 5M.

Btw, is nexus 4 price in Indonesia still 4M?

If it does, 5M for Nexus 5 is kinda impossible :eek:
[Nexus 5 General] tyj:
isnt the price for nexus 5 from google play when converted to rupiah around 4.8 mil?? guess 5.5 is the best we can expect but i have my doubt.

plus no confirmation if the 32gb version will be released here or just the 16gb........waiting is never fun :(
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
Unfortunately, the device's pre order even is delayed once again into January

[Nexus 5 General] voidvortex:
I paid 4.9m last year for Nexus 4. Ridiculous pricing here. I finally bought the 32gb Nexus 5 from the US, no way I am paying local prices anymore. FYU the phone works wonderfully, no LTE yet in Telkomsel though.
[Nexus 5 General] ghost141:
I really hope this price gonna be real, but that's simply impossible :crying:
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
Well a guy at kaskus claimed to be from one that will held the pre order event. He initially told that it would be held in the 3rd week of December.

However, he is recently emailed by LG that as the Nexus 5 sales are still booming in other countries, the shipments are focused to the play store and it is said that we will get our turn a bit later.

Hi guys,

Pondering on buying the phone from KL. Anything I should be worrying about? What kinds of services that are available or unavailable to me if the phone was bought overseas?

Thank you, and sorry if I sound noob-ish ;D
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
Is it available on KL? Afaik it is still not available yet on south east asian.

What is obvious is you don't have any warranty support if you bought it overseas.

Selamat pagi teman2,

I am Indonesian working in Hong Kong and have recently got 32gb Nexus 5 from HKG Google Play Store. It cost here 3588 HKD which is reasonable since it is able to get local LTE network (US edition although is cheaper, the LTE band is not compatible). I have rooted my phone and put Franco Kernel on it (especially for volume booster & tap to awake).

I also have Nexus 4 (rooted as well) and based on my observation, the battery life of Nexus 5 is not that great.... It helps a little bit when I choose 3G instead of LTE and GPS is on battery saving mode. FYI, my nexus 4 have an excellent battery life after tweaking a lot (but then again, I used it sparingly).
[Nexus 5 General] yukarundeng:
Has any of you ordered a nexus 5 from US recently, like around this week or last week?

I wanted to know how many days it arrives outside your doors??

[Nexus 5 General] reddvilzz:
Why not 32GB, with that price expensive it should have been 32GB instead. Stupid Tax.

With dollars on 12.134 x $349 = 4.23x.xxx

Tax almost 1.5 million rupiah?
[Nexus 5 General] hikarugo:
Nexus 5 will be available for pre-order starting from 10 January 2014 via:

- free back case...

- pakai postpaid diskon lagi 500rb

- promo bank free cicilan 1x
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
[MENTION=4664056]reddvilzz[/MENTION] It's not the tax, it's LG's price for non-play store N5 while the 349 is Google's subsidised price, that's why it is so cheap, Google doesn't make money from hardware it makes money from the software.
[Nexus 5 General] mmmmBACON:
What case is that? It looks like a hard shell and not the rubber bumper case!
[Nexus 5 General] aimcr7:
I guess It's official case for N5, N5 doesn't have official bumper anymore.
[Nexus 5 General] forzanetti:
How much is tax and shipping in HK Play Store (shipping to local HK address)?

I got my N4 from the US last year, tax and shipping was around 35 USD (it was shipped to a local US address).

---------- Post added at 01:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

Even if you get it from the US Play Store, it won't cost $349. There's tax and shipping, even if it's to local US address (shipping might be free now, but there's still tax, and the amount depends on the address). But yes, even with the tax and shipping, it will still cost less than 5.7mil.

Still, unless you have someone to buy you the N5 from the US Play Store and carry it back for you, shipping an N5 from the US will not be cheap. My estimation is that the total cost will roughly be equal to the selling price in Indonesia.
[Nexus 5 General] reddvilzz:
Well at least they could give us the 32GB version rather than 16GB with that expensive price.
[Nexus 5 General] mmmmBACON:
They don't have the rubber bumper in Indonesia? It's available in the Google play store (Canada/US), but that case isn't.

Guys, I'm having quite an odd data reception on my n5.

I'm using telkomsel simpati data prepaid, and everytime I download something in background, I cannot use the data anymore in multitasking. For example if I update apps in the playstore, then I leave it in the background, I wont be able to access data in browsing etc. As if the data is only used in updating apps in background.

Anyone else experiencing this?
