I live in Canada (Vancouver to he exact) and I tried 7 times calling into the Google Play Support line, spoke to 7 different support techs, I gave them the spiel that I read Google was doing the replacement program, I told them I read that Google changed their policies and was making exceptions for the devices bought from the play store (I didn't event mention to them I lived in Canada!!) I even mentioned this site and this forum and they basically all just laughed and said "That's not Google's Policy on the Nexus 5" ... all 7 time I was denied the replacement, and all 7 times I was told to contact LG for repairs.

What pissed me off though was I was reading on forums and website news comments and their were people in Canada who did have success getting a replacement sent out ... Those lucky bastards who managed to score one, they must have got one of those Reps on the phone who doesn't even know where Canada is or that Canada is even a separate country and its not just another State...

I digress, sorry I'm starting to ramble ... I get so f***ing pissed off when it comes to this topic. LOL

*now where are my Valium?* :what:
[Nexus 5 General] bendirkss:
Living in Canada isn't the issue, its where the device was purchased. It just has to be purchased through the american play store and it qualifies
[Nexus 5 General] ihatelolcats:
aw man

my warranty expired 7 days ago and they wont replace it

i wish i had seen this thread a week ago
[Nexus 5 General] kjisaac:
I realise that it has to be purchased through the US Play Store for it to qualify. However , regardless of whether I bought it from the Canadian Play Store, or the American one, it was still purchased through Google AND seeing as how everything is shipped through Louisville, Kentucky (the same warehouse that I'm sure you received your Nexus 5 from). Google doesn't physically hold any inventory or have any warehouses in Canada. There is only the Google Canada Corp office location which is based in Toronto on Dundas Street and the only thing they do there .... process Canadian payments ... everything else is done through, you guessed it, the United States.. My device was filled from the same stock pile as yours was I'm sure (along with the rest of the orders placed in Canada). I mean Christ, Google didn't even set up a Canadian Call centre for tech support ... Canadians have to call, you guessed it, the American Google Support hotline (855-836-3987) So tell me, how does my purchase order differ any from yours other than the fact I placed my order 10 Kilometres ( 6 miles) north of the 49th Parallel? What makes you guys in America so special that you get preferred treatment and a USA exclusive replacement offer that's not even honoured to people who's orders were stocked, handled, and shipped from the same warehouse as the majority of the orders in the United States. They are the same model number, the same pretty much everything ....

My money is just as good as yours, I worked just as hard for it and when I bought my Nexus 5 the Canada-USA Dollar exchange rate was pretty much at par ... And not to also mention, cause I'm really on a roll here, the cost of living for an average Canadian is so much more than the average American! You guys have it easy ... everything is so much cheaper down in the States. From groceries to clothing to electronics, and especially on gasoline. Wanna know how much I pay for gasoline?! You probably don't but I'm gonna tell you any way. I'll even convert it into Gallons for you so everyone can understand ... there's 3.79 Litres in a Gallon ... cost of fuel for me in Vancouver is $1 .259 per litre. That converts to $4.771 per gallon... what do you pay, $2.60/gal max?

Any way I'm done my ***** on the whole Nexus 5 replacement from Google ... LOL ... Wow, I was really on a roll! I appologize in advance if anyone gets their panties in a twist about my comments ... Take them with a grain of salt :) And I've had a few weeks to cool off too about this... sorry "Aboot this eh" :silly: ... Probably a good thing I didn't come across this thread till today.

:good::good:

[EDIT] Annnd I just realised that you (bendirkss) live in Winnipeg ... you're not American at ALL!! Oh well, disregard what I said... I'm leaving this post up cause I stand by what I say LOL
[Nexus 5 General] seandorsman:
I whish they did this in Holland aswell :P ah well no crack yet..
[Nexus 5 General] dberend:
I just filled up my gf's Nissan at $2.67/gal, lowest I've seen in at least 4 years. $30 gets her a whole week of city driving. My expedition will cost me almost $100 for the privilege.

Back on topic, I understand google not offering replacement phones to Baby Huey up north there. Canadian dollars just as good as American.....[emoji23] I bought my phone in the USA with good old Greenbacks. Unfortunately, it was from T-Mobile. At the time I didn't mind having to pay a little more as I needed phone ASAP. Now I feel doubly screwed; higher upfront costs and no surprise replacement.

Edit: by Baby Huey I meant the whole country, not just kjisaac
[Nexus 5 General] bendirkss:
I live a little ways away from wpg fortunately. If Google did this for everyone, it's doubtful they'd have enough phones to go around. They have to keep it under control. When I called them about it they said it isn't in Canada "yet". And he said it as though it may be in the future. So just be patient.
[Nexus 5 General] bblzd:
Original warranties have now run out so if they were suddenly to start offering it to Canadians that would be a low blow to early adopters. I wouldn't expect it to ever extend beyond America's borders.
[Nexus 5 General] In Desolation:
I just broke my screen and I remembered this thread. so I contacted Google and they were super nice, but said that there wasn't anything they could do and that I would have to contact LG. Luckily I have my Nexus 6 on order. But obviously it's not here yet.
[Nexus 5 General] b1337:
FYI I called them saturday and got my new N5 yesterday, I didnt originally buy the phone either, but i had bought every other nexy so they hooked me up, maybe try again with your sweet talk voice, I got a sci-fi chick and started chopping it about that to get on her good side
[Nexus 5 General] a5ehren:
I got my N5 replaced under this program last week. Glad I found it.
[Nexus 5 General] cowfodder:
Just called them today. Got the same "not normally covered but we'll make and exception" spiel. Link came within 5 minutes and phone should be on its way.
[Nexus 5 General] meth0dical:
I got mine replaced after speaking to two reps. The first one declined no matter what I kept saying to them. The second was really nice, spoke to his supervisor, and told me that they'd make a one-time exception. He then overnight the replacement phone and sent me the prepaid return label.
[Nexus 5 General] NUGZZ420:
Same here at first said no but eventually they did it. I'm concerned because due to the damage to my phone I was only able to unroot and factory reset the boot loader was still unlocked and he asked me if it was rooted and I said "no".oh well I'll be stoked to have a new phone I just can't really afford to pay for it again.
[Nexus 5 General] drago10029:
So here goes a salty post :( I'm really upset this is only for play store direct buyers. i have a cracked screen and bought mine from very known retail store in New York. It's bull crap that people like me can't take advantage of the program :/

---------- Post added at 04:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:57 AM ----------

Did you get your phone replaced even though the bootloader was unlocked?
[Nexus 5 General] upndwn4par:
Google will still do the replacement if the phone was originally purchased on Google Play. But you'll need proof, and really press them on it.
[Nexus 5 General] NUGZZ420:
yeah but i re locked it and returned it to stock.
[Nexus 5 General] drago10029:
Well, I don't anything about wholesales or ho stores operate. But the retailer said, they bought the Nexus 5 directly from LG?? That even possible? and honestly I am that type of customer. I won't budge but I don't have any firm ground to stand on since they said they didn't buy from google.

any thoughts, advice? I just want the glass fixed lol

---------- Post added at 05:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:11 AM ----------

i see, did you reset the tamper flag as well? with the LG download mode tool or something else?
[Nexus 5 General] upndwn4par:
I never heard of direct sales by LG, but I never really looked in to it either.

If the phone didn't come from Google Play, you won't qualify for the free replacement. But you can always send it to LG and pay to have it fixed. Maybe Google as well. I don't know anything about that process.
[Nexus 5 General] chaco81:
i called friday because my screen was cracked... my 1 yr of purchase was last week too...

called them up, asked if there was any truth to replacement of phone for screen breaking.. the guy was very nice and professional... said yes there us truth to that...

placed me on hold, asked for manager approval and sent me RMA since i was days after my 1 yr purchase.

got it last night and today i am already rolling on my new Nexus 5. :)

google customer service FTW

Thanks Google, you rock.
[Nexus 5 General] NUGZZ420:
Nope I just flashed stock relocked it and sent it back

[Nexus 5 General] dmmatos:
I'm glad (and very jealous) of all the folks that got Google to replace their phones. My luck must generally suck.

My power button failed 2 weeks out of warranty (just before Christmas) and I was told to take it up with lg. Google wouldn't replace or anything (they were nice about it, but said it wasn't their problem).

lg said to send it in (on my dime) and they'd look at it and quote me a cost to repair. I was in the 15 month repair window, but they couldn't pull the IMEI number for some reason.

Got it fixed on my own.

Now my microphone doesn't work 90% of the time ... Called Google they still say no, lg says no. Basically out of luck. I'll these folks seem to be getting free replacements for self imposed stuff and mine was a factory problem.

Any idea what makes them decide one way versus another? The "pulled my account" which would lead me to believe that since I rarely purchase apps maybe I don't spend enough?
[Nexus 5 General] drago10029:
me either, i dont wanna buy that but idk. i'll research it to figure it out or ask google customer service. I just want service. and for the record, LG is no help and will charge me a bunch. I would fix it myself but no money in the kingdom.

Can someone please tell me if this nandroid download is supposed to have a .exe file? Verizon RUU Zip 1.10.605.10 Posted or can someone tell me where to get a nandroid for my htc one m7?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majmoz:
First, that file is a RUU zip file not a nandroid backup. Unless your OS is the same as that file or you are S-OFF you can not run that file.

Second, you might have better luck finding a nandroid for your phone in the Verizon HTC One forum because they are setup for that phone. There are some key differences between the Verizon phones and the GSM phones.

Third, you will need to provide more information about your phone and what you are searching for before anyone can help you. Generally a fastboot getvar all will provide a lot of the information.

[Android Apps and Games] Dark3n:
There is a typo in your app.

"Disabling Android has two major effects:"

Disabling ANDROID on your Android device? ;)

Do you have data that shows how big the impact is? Benchmarks or test runs?

Sure it reduces some CPU cycles, but i think you would not be able to notice it.

The biggest performance drain for logging does usually not come from the act of outputting the message itself, but from the effort that happens before an app logs something, like calculating debug values or extra calls. Disabling the logging from Syslogd only remove the last step of the chain. Apps will still keep logging, it just won't be printed into the log buffer.

True only for <Android4.1 Since 4.1 apps can only read their own log output.

I don't mean to attack you, the idea was well intended, but i don't see the benefit of doing this and it adds the huge downside of not being able to catch crash stack traces in the log which would help developers fix bugs.

Kinda like those custom kernels that come with logging disabled, just does more harm then good.

Sorry, but no it didn't. This app prevents the creation from logging (sockets?) at /dev/log (currently). These are not items that are picked up/cleaned, they can't be deleted anyways as they are not files but sockets iirc.
[Android Apps and Games] wanam:
Dark3n, firstly thank you taking the time write this feedback.

Actually i don't agree with you about the biggest performance drain, this is relative and may depends on the device hardware but i think disk i/o operations are usually more expensive/slower than cpu calculation operations.

Anyway crash stack trace is the most important thing to be reported, and the developer shouldn't keep debugging informations on their App release, one of the reason i used to put those precious Proguard lines on my Apps:

-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
public static *** d(...);
public static *** v(...);
public static *** i(...);
}

True i'm aware non Root/System Apps can read only their own logs starting from JB, but we can't ignore the other type of Apps and older OS versions.

Yes, it may break some parts of bug reporting, but the user can still enable them anytime he needs to do that, and the developer does not need to rely on the logger for the bug reports, he can catch the stack trace and report it without the need of logcat (with Acra, Google Analytics or any other bug reports tool).

They are a special files and they can be deleted.

I have an external MicroSD Card and I am using it for TomTom and other applications. So the card is working great.

But I tried to change the settings of the cam to store the pictures to the external flash instead to the internal (small) one. I can change the setting but it does not work. Next time I check the settings the default storage is again the interal flash.

Any ideas?
