Used to have a SGP NeoHybrid case but I ditched it. Quite bulky and it is easy to collect dust within the case.

Feels better without case ( of course it comes with risk ).

Check on Lowyat forum , if not, Ebay it is.

Hardcore underclock and undervolt. Screen brightness low.

Very hard to get 5 hours SOT. Max I can get is 4 hours.

[Nexus 5 General] Ryanrioz:
not bad all all :D haha...
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
Same here. Max I can get is 4 hours. But later I'll try underclock, undervolt, per-app-modes by franco kernel and turn off Google Now since I don't really use it aside from checking some stuff. Hopefully can stretch to 5 or 7 hours SOT.
[Nexus 5 General] Ryanrioz:
wow...

Did u set your I/O n Underclock n UV it?
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
Not sure what you're asking but here is my new setup. Can't wait to test this tomorrow~

But I doubt I'll get great SOT coz my workplace signal sux and some of my tasker tasks wakes my phone every few minutes..
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
Wow! My standby time is phenomenal! My SOT is still about the same. But usually after I come home from work even without using my phone much, the battery would be about 10% remaining.

Today I'm home after using the phone a lot. Streaming music most of the day, opening up a wifi hotspot for about 2 hours, whatsapp a lot and browsed the net for a bit. And my battery as soon as I got home is 47%.

I'll include screenshots of my battery stats and also wakelock data for whole day. I'm loving this new boost in battery!!!

[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
Sorry if I didn't state it before but I didn't ship it to Malaysia. Let me tell you my process :

1) Sign up for google wallet

2) Register my credit card but in the address section I didn't put my Malaysian address, I put my cousin's address which is in Australia.

3) Use a VPN service to connect to Australia network.

4) Open up AU google play store.

5) Order the Nexus 5 32GB White model and click pay using Google Wallet.

Thats all I did. I just used a Malaysian credit card. When I registered the CC on Google Wallet, I register all the details correctly except the address. With that, google automatically thinks that I am from Australia and I own an Australian CC. They won't check if the address on your CC is correct or not.

I shipped to my cousin's house and I'm just waiting for her to come back to Malaysia which is very soon. If you were to use reshipping service, I think u have to add on between RM75 - RM85 to reach Malaysia. Then you might get stuck at customs and have to pay some additional fees.

What I'm saying is it is not so easy to buy a phone abroad. Unless you have people to help you out, your only options would be :

1) Pay for phone + reshipping + tax + customs

2) Buy the phone from a reseller(But you might not be covered on warranty)

3) Wait for the phone to start selling in Malaysia(Could be in January and possibly cost a little extra compared to Google Play Store price)

Either option you choose should be about the same price.

Hey there.

How did you manage to buy from the AU Play Store? I keep trying and it just keeps opening a page that says "Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet. We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible.Please check back again soon". Is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
Ok so I'm assuming you are using an Australian VPN service to open the AU Play Store, am I right? Well I have tried all the free Australian VPN on the internet and none of them worked. I spent a whole week trying out all kinds of VPN and I was so worried I wouldn't find a solution in time for launch. The only thing left to do was to subscribe to a paid VPN service.

On launch day, I subscribed to HideMyAss VPN and they gave me access to Worldwide VPN. I changed the server to Australia and finally managed to access the AU Play Store. After everything was confirmed and my cousin confirmed that she received my phone, I cancelled the subscription and they refunded my money since they have a 30 day money back guarantee.

That is the only way I know how to access the AU Play Store. Sorry if that is not the answer you we're hoping for.
[Nexus 5 General] GzC:
Hmm... I'm still waiting it to come in local store... Hope it will available soon
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
I think it should be available in Malaysia by January. Hopefully they don't hike up the price like crazy..
[Nexus 5 General] ZhenMing:
History tells me that it will only reach malaysia on march by LG malaysia. Of cause this is base on Nexus 4 availability in Malaysia. Since Nexus 4 price at 1.7k. I assume the Nexus 5 will be follow the same trend...

Hi guys, planning to buy the nexus 5 from South Korea...

It costs,

Can I get the refund of the GST when back from korea to malaysia???

Besides that, anyone know Korea version is D820 or D821 ??
[Nexus 5 General] wailinchong:
Which reshipping service do u think is the safest to avoid taxes at customs?

I believe all Play Store outside US is selling D821. You can confirm by seeing LTE band 3 and 7 in spec before ordering.
[Nexus 5 General] GzC:
Anyone find defects with the phone you guys bought?
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
Sorry, I don't know any reshipping services in Australia. Reshipping services in China is the best. They can mark down the value of the phone for you so that when the phone passes through customs, it won't be taxed since the price is so low.
[Nexus 5 General] ZhenMing:
Hurray!!!

My nexus 5 is shipped to my friend's address now.

Ordered on 14/11 and shipped after 15 days... Seems reasonable.

However, my friend will only be back to Malaysia by end of Dec. Had to patiently waiting for the arrival.

Mean while, I got myself some accessories for the phone.

[Nexus 5 General] Pancrisp:
Ooooooh! Never expected to see a Malaysian thread here.

I ordered mine through a friend who went to Australia for 2 months.

Expected shipping is on Dec 6 just like everyone else who bought from the Australian Playstore :rolleyes:
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
It depends where you want to buy it from. If you want to buy it from the UK, you have to find a reshipping company in UK. If in Canada, find there.

Nice~ I ordered mine on launch day and the phone arrived at my cousins house in a week! But I have to wait till middle of December before she comes back to Malaysia.. :banghead:
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
Oh, does anybody know if LG in Malaysia will accept the nexus 5 warranty if we buy from overseas for example Australia?
[Nexus 5 General] Pancrisp:
I don't think so.

I've checked with Google on their forums and the warranty is only limited to the country of purchase.

So if you experience any problems with the phone, your buddies in Australia will have to ask for an RMA locally on behalf of you, which is a pain in the butt.

Otherwise, who needs warranty? If you're getting a Nexus 5, chances are... you're gonna root it anyway ;)
[Nexus 5 General] GzC:
If it was hardware defects, root is not helping at all... Since the first batch having so many problems around, it's a lottery of phones
[Nexus 5 General] Pancrisp:
Yeah, really hope LG tightens quality control with their second batch shipping Dec 6.

REALLY don't want to deal with the RMA process overseas.

Black 32GB to Melb first.. someone is bringing it back for me.
[Nexus 5 General] wcpoon:
What kind of problems for the first batch???

can you share with me?
[Nexus 5 General] koolbrader:
Yeah, root will be the 1st thing I do but I ordered on launch day which means I got 1st batch which has a lot of problems.

Some users reported screen issues such as horrible screen angles and screen bleeding, some got low volume speaker and needed to make a hardware mod just to fix it and there were also mentions on signal loss and such.

Basically the 1st batch had a high number of lemons and I just hope I didn't get one. I heard that most of the problematic phones were from the white model and I ordered the white.

You guys dnt have to worry about anything though coz I doubt you got 1st batch like me. I am literally one of the 1st to order..
[Nexus 5 General] wcpoon:
If i order it right now and also white color model, will it be first batch or different batch?

Seem like first batch got many problems...

Actually planning to order it from Korea..
[Nexus 5 General] Pancrisp:
Well, if you're ordering from Australia like I did. You'll probably make it in time for the second batch (ETA - 06 Dec).

Pretty much anyone who ordered on Nov 8 or later will be in the second batch.

Should be no problem update OTA for stock rooted rom. But then you would get the update from XDA faster than our service provider..

See.. Current firmware stock running is 4.4.1 and updating to 4.4.2 would need to wait a little longer but here in XDA you can just download the 4.4.2 firmware and flash it.. No need to wait..

And guess what the last time I sent my Galaxy Nexus to Samsung (I did a fastboot OEM lock), they UNLOCKED the bootloader (and downgraded the phone to ics 4.0.4 yay) for me. I sent to the Lowyat service center so I don't think they actually check much.

Edit: But that's a Samsung. This is a LG device, it might be different. While its true there's no news about the Nexus 5 launch here it would be pretty dumb of LG not to release it as I see quite a number of non xda people using a Nexus 4 around here in PJ area. It sold despite not being a "Galaxy" or "iPhone". Still hoping here for a N5 launch soon.
