Please buy proper screen-guard with hole around prox.sensor!!

Yes this is my first flagship phone and I am loving every single pixel of it! :victory:

P.S: A special warning if anyone here wants to buy screen-guard/ tampered glass protection for our Nexus 5x:

Our device has the proximity sensor placed just below the earpiece. Some screenguards/ tampered glass protections do not have a cut there (manufacturers' negligence) which causes a severe problem which I am facing now. I bought a tampered glass protection today evening from a streetside seller for Rs.140 only. Of course it has no warranty of any kind (not at all after it is applied) and after returning home I discovered that whenever I am making a call and putting my phone next to the ears the screen is going off because of proximity... BUT it is not turning on again!!! This is due to the faulty glass protection I bought today which has no cut around the proximity sensor. Beware everyone! I have just now ordered a proper tampered glass protection with proper cuts and hole around the proximity sensor. Make sure to check it before you buy any kind of screen guard as well.
[Nexus 5X General] raddy:
Thank you so much Arun for the information.

Even the MobiKarePro matte screen guard which i have bought in eBay has the same issue.

I discovered the same only after your valuable warning.

I am going to remove the matte screen guard now.
[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
Yes friend, better safe than sorry. I wish I could research earlier, could have saved Rs. 140. Anyways, my newly ordered proper glass protection is coming soon thanks to Amazon. Fingers crossed. [emoji5]

I was using Xiaomi Mi 4i till now and have used Samsung Galaxy S4 previously.

I have switched to Apple iPhone 5C and 5S in the meanwhile after getting frustrated waiting for Android updates in S4.

This is the first time a Nexus phone became available in a decent price bracket.

As you said, Android Marshmallow is huge leap in user experience as Mi 4i even though came with Lollipop, it was hardly surfaced in the forefront.

Xiaomi modified Android Lollipop heavily in Mi 4i unfortunately/
[Nexus 5X General] raddy:
I have just removed the tpu case and matte screen guard and i feel so good about it.

The screen and the matte finish back offers a very good feel.
[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
Even I came from Xiaomi, friend. I was using redmi 2 (1GB RAM version). Xiaomi kept same old kitkat there and now they are going to provide Marshmallow in near future. But once I installed an unofficial CM port on redmi 2, I immediately realised that I am in love with AOSP. Hence I started planning to go for the ultimate AOSP experience which will also have wide developer support. And hence, Nexus! No worry about software updates... along with wide customer support from LG. :)
[Nexus 5X General] raddy:
I am too got the taste of AOSP from my mom's mobile phone which was a Moto E 2nd Generation.

I didn't expect my mom's phone to create such an impact in me.
[Nexus 5X General] raddy:
Hi Arun

Can you let us know which tempered glass you have ordered and how is it ?
[Nexus 5X General] vampire36:
Can any suggest me a good tempered glass screen protector...

Also diztronic case a bit pricey but worth it...

Highly recommended :)
[Nexus 5X General] Arun Av:
Here's the one I bought and applied myself. No hassle. Anyways there are other ones as well on the site. I bought it because it's the cheapest among all of those properly cut glasses. It works flawlessly and the display is also clear as water. Has smooth edges but I guess that's too much I am advertising [emoji1]
[Nexus 5X General] raddy:
I suggest you to buy this case.

[Nexus 5X General] agmtpd:
do you have any suggestion for usb type c to micro usb adapter that actually works for data transfers? most of them only support charging as far the online reviews go.

This type-c thing was my only concern while deciding to buy nexus :/

thanks
[Nexus 5X General] vampire36:
This I use for data transfer too..works a treat !
[Nexus 5X General] agmtpd:
By adapter i meant to use all my current micro usb chargers, power banks and storage devices with usb type c nexus 5x.

I have ordered the one in the picture attached. let's see if this works as I am expecting.

[Nexus 5X General] raddy:
Choose Tarkan Pudini if your phone color is black.
[Nexus 5X General] vampire36:
Diztronic hands down...been using Diztronic for ages :)

Only thing you might feel 800 is a bit high...but worth it trust me :)

If budget a issue go for amzer...400 best tpu case after diztronic :)
[Nexus 5X General] :
diztronic anyday
[Nexus 5X General] Moriarty82:
Bought!!!

Thanks for the help guys...
[Nexus 5X General] :
guys is there any adapter for micro to c type available on amazon or flipkart that works for OTG pd's? or if someone has any info on Ctype otg pendrives available in mumbai kindly let me know.
[Nexus 5X General] raddy:
I just installed the tempered glass in my phone today morning.

There was some issues initially and the same has been waned after some time.

Now i am so happy while watching the screen as it now looks brilliant.

My phone screen looked very bad previously with matte screen guard.

Now I hardly could out make difference between with and without tempered glass.

Thanks for the suggestion, Arun.
[Nexus 5X General] imrock:
Can anyone suggest if i should go for this one?? It has a cable for data transfer and adapter for old micro usb chargers and also another otg adapter, it says its approved to meet usb c standard but I'm a bit skeptical

My 5X is on the way, and like everyone else I'm looking for a C->A cable/C->Micro B Adapter.

Do the cables you guys have pass CheckR? Would be great if we could make a list of all the cables that stick to the standards (via CheckR) since none of the cables available in India are Benson approved - except the expensive Belkin.

Has the C->A cable on the damned Play Store ever been in stock?!!

how u bought for 18.5k?
[Nexus 5X General] imrock:
My experience with Nexus 5x,

I bought my nexus 5x from paytm for 18.5k, received it and saw that the display was very yellowish and dull straight away, contacted paytm who requested me to visit the service center once or they can initiate a return only, not exchange. I thought of giving it a try, btw I saw a lot of posts from on google regarding this issue, even this video says it has an issue, so I went to the service center, but had a horrible experience. They gave me a printout stating that the display is fine and it is as per google's instructions that LG has kept it yellowish at 6500 k temperature. I asked for a comparison with another nexus 5x and mine was yellowish (pic attached), so I asked them to give me a new unit which wasn't yellowish. He completely refused saying that its a specific lot difference and this difference is no issue. It was a sunny afternoon, the difference is still visible and it would only increase if seen at night. That stupid fellow just kept on repeating the same thing so I had no other option than to leave. I contacted paytm and convinced them for the return and got my money back.

It's such a shame that in the US and other countries this defect is being acknowledged and a replacement is provided easily whereas in india all you get is "sir company does not have a policy" or "its not a defect". I've also attached a pic comparing it with moto g and galaxy a5, you can see the middle one is very yellowish. Hope no one else gets such an issue and I'm not buying another LG phone again, even after owning n4 and n5 previously.
[Nexus 5X General] vampire36:
Checked is perfect :)
[Nexus 5X General] bluesky747:
Will the 5x be receiving Android O official update here in India? Since the official android.com website says that Nexus devices get updates for 2 years........ Just curious.
[Nexus 5X General] suku_patel_22:
It will get P and Q too. Don't you worry.

Go to developer options and select

Cool color temperature
[Nexus 5X General] imrock:
Hey sukupatel,

Thanks for your reply but I have returned my phone already and got my money back. I know about these tweaks and heck i could have flashed a custom kernel and changed the colour temperature myself but the fact is that out of the box on the very first day it was yellowish, comparing it with another Nexus 5x showed how poor the quality of the screen on my unit was, so yes I could have tweaked the software but its LG's fault to supply poor quality lcd displays which have their glue process not implemented properly which creates these yellowish displays. We should get our units exchanged as they are faulty but LG's service center didn't help. But all's over and I got my money back so no harm but still, not a pleasant experience.

Hey guys .. I'm also from India and I'm having wierd freezing and fingerprint sensor issues from the day I opened box of my Nexus 5x

The issue is basically random screen freezing .. and also when I setup a fingerprint .. sometimes it asks for pattern too and when I put up pattern, screen freezes

When I use fingerprint iand don't use it overnight .. it's frozen in morning . That means .. I can't see anything in screen and then have to force reboot it.

Such freezes are completely random

I thought this issue will be solved after nougat update but no luck

Hi guys, i'm looking for 32gb black version. anyone knows where can i get it ? a month ago it was selling for about 25k on flipkart but now it's 30k. there's a guy on ebay selling it for 20k but no indian warranty. is there any chance of discounts on 5x again ?

i had high hopes from pixel but it's out of my budget.
[Nexus 5X General] :
​

Try with your local retailer. I purchased mine from retailer for 28.5k in May.
[Nexus 5X General] kraatus90:
38k :laugh: those people are joke.

guess i just need to wait and hope they give discounts again.

Does anyone of you is able to install MyAirtel App on their 5X with Nougat ? I was using this app on Nougat last month but i did a factory reset and now it shows 'Incompatible' Play store. I think they updated the app and dropped the support for 7.0

I also sent them a mail regarding this and they said that 7.0 is currently not supported and they are working on it.

[Nexus 5X General] ankit73:
What kind of exchange?

If you want to exchange with some other phone, OLX is the site you go to. Retailers here don't really exchange or replace the devices in India aa far as i know.
[Nexus 5X General] ABSathe:
I want exchange for faulty device
[Nexus 5X General] ankit73:
It MAY be possible. If it came to you faulty out of the box, and like not more than 10 days ago, you can ask for DOA from the retailers. I still doubt they'd give you.

I bought one two weeks ago from SnapDeal for 15k (Unboxed,Black,32GB). Perfect condition & working great till this time.

Apart from OLX,Quikr is your next best option. You can exchange to Quikr directly (Selected devices) or with any individual by posting an Ad.

Hey, quick question for you guys. I have 2 Nexus 5X's that I bought in the United States. I'm traveling to India in a few days. I'm planning on getting a reliance and airtel sim for my phones. My question is would wireless tethering work automatically? It doesn't work for me in the states because I'm not paying for the wireless hotspot feature on my at&t plan.
[Nexus 5X General] Aman301582:
It will work.
[Nexus 5X General] yuva91:
hi,

jus reached out to LG india for bootloop issue and they are not aware of this.they clearly told they cant do anything regarding this issue until they have been told by LG india.so i guess its game over if any of our nexus 5x bootloops.jus pay and get it back to work.motherboard costs around 12k!!
[Nexus 5X General] :
This is absurd. It happens with every OEM service center in India. While other countries gets replacement or even refund (now), we get repairs even if it's 1 week old. I've had visited like 4 OEM service centers and they all are pathetic. 1 yr service warranty is just on paper and you have to actually negotiate and make them believe that you really have issues on the phone.

The only time service center would help you gladly when you're paying for repairs.
[Nexus 5X General] yuva91:
yes definitely. worst service centres we have got. BTW when ur nexus 5x got bootloop issue?u planned to get it repaired by paying or gonna wait for any statement from LG india?

thanks
[Nexus 5X General] :
No, i haven't faced any bootloop issue.

But in September I visited LG service center for screen replacement as my screen suffered with 2 dead pixels. I was ignoring for past couple of months then finally decided to do so and it was worst experience. I had to wait 2 -3 weeks to get it replaced. I don't know what went wrong with that service repair of screen but i am facing battery issues since then. Now, I am afraid to go again for repair or diagnostic to the service center. What if a new issue occurs after tat repair or battery change. :(

What i am going to do is just wait 2-3 more months and after that going to sell it. I am glad that i kept my Oneplus One with me in case of emergencies and it still outperform N5X :P

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Roman5:
Just thought I'd mention this as it may shed some light for anyone else having connection problems. I've got it sorted now and it's synching perfectly, but I had problems recently getting active synch to connect. The problem lay with me recently installing a new standalone firewall called comodo, which is an excellent firewall but very fussy. I had to create network rules. The MDA has a LAN IP of it's own. So I had to add a Trusted Zone that included my PC's IP and the MDA's IP. In the end, my firewalls network rules had two entries allowing synching both in and out between the MDAC3 and my pc. I found out the IP numbers by looking at the network logs when it wasn't connecting.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it in case you've been trying to synch up and hadn't considered this possibility.:)

Urm. I call foul on those prices of the 6p. Are you doing guess work, because there is no way those prices line up. Do you have a link? The international pricing for the 6p is 499, 549 and 649. Given the inflation and landing prices with the new taxes, i bet its more like 39,999, 47000, 56000.
