They will fix it, you will just be without a phone for a few months. Buying through google you will not be without a phone as they replace it before taking the faulty one.

45 days for a refund (9 weeks) - their repair service could be longer than that.
[Nexus 5X General] viren_s:
Yes that I agree with. I was just stating that a product under warranty must be fixed but the the company making the product. Google do send a replacement but they don't have to.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
So to confirm, if you use a normal USB socket, you wont get rapid charge?
[Nexus 5X General] alpha beta gaga:
i noticed that and did a double take:) checked and my simfree box does not have it but has just a 'GBR' instead so guessed the '3GB' was a country/network reference code
[Nexus 5X General] PhilipL:
Hi

You are only guaranteed fast charging using the charger it comes with, or a charger with USB-C socket and 3Amp output, not many about to buy separately at the moment.

A USB port on the computer if you use a USB-A to USB-C cable will charge only slowly, and other USB chargers with > 1 Amp outputs may charge faster, or at least show AC Charging.

Regards

Phil
[Nexus 5X General] SlyUK:
It seems alot of people are buying from CPW. The warranty from Google sounds better. Are people willing to forgo the warranty for the cheaper price from CPW (and pray nothing goes wrong) ?
[Nexus 5X General] jason-tech-uk:
I got my Nexus 5X from CPW! Loving it so far, the finger print sensor is really good.

I insured the handset that I got. In the hand it doesn't feel too strong so thought to give it some extra protection.
[Nexus 5X General] nebulaoperator:
what insurance did you take? how much is it?
[Nexus 5X General] jason-tech-uk:
I've got a barclays account so done it with them, insuring that and my mrs phone comes up to about £8 a month. Not much but bear in mind that it's not the best insurance policy but it does give you a little protection against damage etc.
[Nexus 5X General] GaSpartacus:
Does giffgaff do international shipping?
[Nexus 5X General] SlyUK:
Thats interesting. What do you think about this:

I read somewhere that an update (45mb) has been sent for the N5x (MDB08I).

Has anyone had this?
[Nexus 5X General] alpha beta gaga:
i had it yesterday night when doing the initial setup. simfree. not sure what changed. returning it tomorrow
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
How come you are returning it?
[Nexus 5X General] alpha beta gaga:
the £299 price is good but the build hasn't really wow'd me like the n4 (£239) did on release. current phone is a lumia 920 (£220) that still does pretty much what i want from a phone. i plan on getting an itouch that will take care of any apps i am without on winphone :)
[Nexus 5X General] Clivectmob:
So, anyone else in the UK had this 42Mb update yet? I'm not getting it yet, mines a 3GB unit from CPW.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Nope, still not had an update.
[Nexus 5X General] WhiteHartMart:
No update on my CPW handset yet either.
[Nexus 5X General] gomylle:
Im from Denmark but bought my Nexus from Clove yesterday because its still not released here. It arrived today and pretty much immediately after setting it up it prompted me that there was an update. Maybe its carrier dependant?
[Nexus 5X General] pudzy:
I returned my. 5x today. Loved the device but shocking sot battery life and dreadful audio was a deal breaker.
[Nexus 5X General] Highland3r:
Can be manually installed and sideloaded (there's a link in the ota thread in this section) of the forums.
[Nexus 5X General] Clivectmob:
Yeah, I know I can sideload it, but I'd rather just wait for the OTA tbh. Was just trying to get a handle on why some have got it and others haven't. Whether it was to do with this 3GB code or whatever. Does anyone actually know what the difference is between GBR and 3GB? It would seem to me so far that the 3GB ones are all from CPW and the GBR ones are from Google, but I'm not sure.
[Nexus 5X General] AlphaGeekV2:
I'm from France and I bought mine from Expansys. It comes from England and arrives in less than one day.

It's the H791 with "3GB" mentionned on the box. I didn't have any update and it's running 6.0 MDA89E. Is that a special version ?

[Nexus 5X General] PhoenixTank:
So, in the past few days Amazon UK have popped up listings for the 32GB Carbon and Quartz for £349.99.

Given Amazon's recent Chromecast ban, I really didn't think they'd sell this one themselves.

The snag is that the Carbon isn't due in until Nov 10th, and no date listed for the Quartz yet.

After a little soul searching I've decided to cancel my orders with Expansys and Clove - and to their credit, Clove have been great when I've been in touch with them.

I save a bit of cash (and still won't get charged VAT), get customer service that I know is good, but have to wait 2 weeks or so.

Going to be a little painful waiting, but hopefully it'll mean the (hardware &/ software) issues with early units are largely resolved by then, as well as the lack of decent third party cables and chargers too.
[Nexus 5X General] shadowgolf:
Anyone who bought a unit from CPW with 3GB printed on the box, it's just a misprint. Look under settings, memory and you'll see you've only got 2GB.
[Nexus 5X General] tosin01:
I got the update as soon as I started setting up my wife's Google store ordered N 5X on Monday evening.
[Nexus 5X General] paul_one:
Hey - thanks for pointing that out!! Cheaper price and a service that I like, although at a price of being late to the party.

I too have ordered through Amazon and we'll see what happens when it arrives! :)
[Nexus 5X General] PhoenixTank:
No problem! Looks like new orders are now at "Usually dispatched within 1 to 3 months." - must have a few back orders then!

My order still has the same estimate of early-mid November, thankfully :)
[Nexus 5X General] iJekyll:
I hope I can quickly ask this question here, I didn't want to open a thread for it, but I've always been wondering about it:

Does an EU adapter (2 pins) to the UK charger affect somehow badly on performance/battery/charging... etc?

I just got my Nexus 5X from a UK retailer and I use in my country the 2 pin charger output..
[Nexus 5X General] PhoenixTank:
EU is pretty much always 220V at the wall, right? There should be something on your N5X charger that says "Input 100V-240V" or similar.

I am not an electrical engineer, but if the voltage in your country is within that range, it should be able to handle it. The third pin on a UK plug is for grounding, and to be honest, I don't think I've seen one that isn't a dummy (entirely plastic) on any of my chargers. I've used chargers abroad in Europe with an adaptor, but that was a while ago - that said, I didn't notice any issues with charging speed at the time.

To follow up my other post, I just got an email saying from Amazon saying they now expect it to arrive this Saturday, so I guess shipping on Thursday-ish for me. Hope you got one too!

The estimate on the page for new orders is back to Nov 10th too as of this post.
[Nexus 5X General] paul_one:
Mine shows as being delivered on the 13th of November - I should just about manage waiting that long. Don't quite see the "1 to 3 months" you mention though.

*edit*

Wow, woke up to an email saying I should expect the deliver Saturday. I didn't even pay for rushed delivery.. I hope they aren't Making me about... You get the same?
[Nexus 5X General] big_b0sss:
Are there many people received the the small update? It's been 2 weeks no sign of the update
[Nexus 5X General] paul_one:
I just received my phone.. Right now I've fully charged it, and am now doing some battery tests so that I can post up on this forum with some actual technical and repeatable situations.

First boot up it said there was an update for the OS, so I assume that's what you're talking about?
[Nexus 5X General] WhiteHartMart:
No sign of any update on mine. Do Google know our CPW phones exist? [emoji14]
[Nexus 5X General] mELIANTE:
No problem or side effects at all.
[Nexus 5X General] roxtedy169:
How you can be so sily and order the nexus 5x from google store and wait ...Carphone has N5x in stock and cheaper...N5x 32Gb for 350 sim free.. Take money go there and go home with new nexus............
[Nexus 5X General] big_b0sss:
I'm thinking of flashing system build. That update might improve my battery life
[Nexus 5X General] Alferboy:
How's their policy on returns on account of yellowish screens, bad live glue on glass and other annoying things the Google Store will send you a replacement?
[Nexus 5X General] big_b0sss:
That my friend you would be disappointed at. They would just give you load of crap and tell you that they have to send your device to the manufacturer no replacement :(
[Nexus 5X General] Alferboy:
I see. So I definitely won't give a quick weekend jump to the UK to get my 6P (I know, wrong thread), as many of these are having problems (screenwise, mainly) and I wouldn't want to travel back and forth just to save a few quid.

Let me wait on the Store then :)
[Nexus 5X General] blackrome0:
Question....

For all you guys that brought your 5X from CPW, how many of you were happy with it?
[Nexus 5X General] scgf:
I bought mine from CPW and am very happy with it. It has a perfect screen and is buttery smooth.
[Nexus 5X General] adsk:
Bought on the launch date and a very happy (nearly) first month of ownership.
[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
If you look on hot deals, with a code, the 5X is down to £249 for the 16 and £299 for the 32GB.

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/nexus-5x-16gb-249-99-carphonewarehouse-2388881#post27284098

I think these should have been the prices on release. :angel:
[Nexus 5X General] scr1k:
Hi guys,

Received my 5X last week, and I'm really enjoying it so far - a massive upgrade from the old Nexus 4. However, I think I have the yellow screen problem which is rather disappointing (5X built in Nov 2015 according to the S/N)

Has anyone RMAed their device for this? If so, did you receive a refurb device or a new in box one?

Thanks

barclays app and Android N working for anyone?
[Nexus 5X General] quatzar:
Lloyds app is not working on the N beta. but the webpage is fine.

Also I registered a card on Android pay and used it at iceland. Now that works in the UK. Tesco near me doesn't take cardless or nfc etc.
[Nexus 5X General] Oblox:
You used Android Pay on N preview? I thought they said at the beginning pay wasnt going to work with the beta.
[Nexus 5X General] quatzar:
It's disabled in the google play store, but you can enable it. It's already downloaded.

I just added a card. You have to call the bank from the phone so the bank can verify the phone and app specifically to you.

worked first time. very easy.

I think the beta is different from the developer preview they come from different places.
[Nexus 5X General] gbru2505:
I've been on PureNexus and PixelRom and tried Android O Beta, but the install went badly and I decided to roll back to stock, including re-locking the bootloader. Using Nikhilkumar038's guide, I now have Assistant working again through Nova Launcher.

I'm actually very happy with the setup as I seem to need root less and less, battery is better and stock is smoother. The June security patch installed just fine and hopefully my bank will introduce Android Pay soon, which would probably be the most useful aspect of stock - I filled the bike up with petrol yesterday only to realise I had no wallet, but I did have my phone for sounds. Awkward!
[Nexus 5X General] Cptkirk1996:
Would have bought this at £300 but as it stands the moto x style is only £25 more on amazon and you can actually get the style through a cash back offer so you will only be paying under £290 for it. Thats a bargin in my eyes so thats what I am getting
[Nexus 5X General] jonyid:
what cash back offer is that?
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
If you guys feel this way, then WHY ARE YOU ON THE 5X FORUMS? Seriously? Are you just here to tell us how disappointed you are with the phone? No one cares.

And your tears of salt are delicious.
[Nexus 5X General] thesponz:
They're on the 5X forum, talking about the 5X. It's all good !!

Not all the comments in here are going to be positive, but they're all as valid as each other !
[Nexus 5X General] supercakefish:
Should I cancel my preorder on the Sony? Would appreciate some opinions.

Z5 Compact - £429

Nexus 5X - £379

£50 difference.

Advantages of Sony:

- smaller

- SD card support

- SD 810 vs SD808

- DDR4 RAM

- stereo speakers

- longer battery life

- fingerprint scanner on side

- camera???

Advantages of Nexus:

- higher DPI display

- Marshmallow at launch

- quicker updates

- Type-C USB

- Bluetooth 4.2

- camera???
[Nexus 5X General] Mooseh:
Because a lot of these users are probably previous nexus owners, myself included, was hoping this would be my next upgrade, but a lot of us are disappointed. Still talking about the nexus 5x so I really not see the problem.

Whats the problem with the jacked up price in UK though? Even worse..it's almost 500 euros in the rest of europe, I was honestly expecting something around 270-280, but 340 is to rich for a phone, given the competition in that area. Been a nexus owner since the nexus one...think this is the first time i've needed an upgrade and the nexus wasn't an option. Such a shame.
[Nexus 5X General] iamterence:
I, too, am a Nexus owner, and see this as a perfect upgrade. I say this over and over (and over) again, but just because the specs look low on paper doesn't mean the phone is gonna perform low in the real world. People just LOVE to ***** when things don't add up to what they thought.

And honestly, this is an UPGRADE model. Why do you think its called the Nexus 5X and not a new number entirely? Because it's an upgraded phone. The specs fit perfectly in line with that word, even if it still only has 2gb of RAM. Marshmallow is optimized to use that capacity of RAM in a much more efficient manner than Kit Kat/Lollipop did.

Sucks that you're disappointed, but I am extremely excited to one my own device one day really soon, so I'm happy. The phone is here and real now, and there's nothing you can do to change it. Better luck next year.
[Nexus 5X General] ConorCX:
Was hoping the price of the device would be a little lower (to match that of US price). Still, might pick up the Nexus 5X in a few months. Hope the battery/software performs better than my Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5X General] Mooseh:
Luckily, you seem to be in the minority here. There are a lot of disappointed users (More so in UK and EU due to the price jacking), and hopefully google will see this not only in reviews, but in the sales. Then we might get a true successor to the N5 next year.
[Nexus 5X General] supercakefish:
The camera sounds great though.
[Nexus 5X General] iDroid8:
I honestly burst out laughing when Google claimed you don't need OIS because the extra large pixel size means a lower shutter speed is possible. Dx0mark gave the 6P the second highest score ever (or something along those lines), which is promising.

[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Its probably a mistake, i cannot see where it says delivery tomorrow.

Update: Showing "Free delivery, expected 19th Oct"
[Nexus 5X General] supercakefish:
Where it says 'in stock'. They have next day delivery as standard.

When a phone isn't available they show it as preorder on the website.

Thus, it's in stock, ready to be delivered right now.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
See my post above, why Google would let a reseller sell it before them was too good to be true! ;)

And i think free next day delivery is standard on all pre orders, as in, its next day delivery when the phone leaves pre order.
[Nexus 5X General] supercakefish:
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

I should have used the desktop site. The mobile site seems to hide that info.

Sorry everyone for the false alarm :(

Cab I change the title of the thread, is it possible?
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
lol, my Google order is showing delivery 26th-28th Oct, might change? :s
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Carbon 32gb pre-ordered.

Delivery estimate is 26th -28th Oct. Is this likely to move closer to the release date?
[Nexus 5X General] dethrat:
Did anyone ever question maybe ours includes 20% vat which the USA price doesn't.
[Nexus 5X General] Lewey22B:
32GB in Ice ordered, delivery estimate 26-28 October.

[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
I'm one of those who is a little disappointed. :rolleyes:

I don't have too many issues with the hardware but fail to understand why the bezels are so big. What really kills me though, is the UK price. When the N4 & N5 were realised, they were fire spitting monsters performance wise, that were half the price of the competition. (Even though they cut corners with the Battery & Camera.) I just don't think the 5X will fall into the bracket thanks to the failures of Qualcomm and the rise of Motorola. :crying:

If you want a new Nexus, in my book the 6P is more appealing especially when the cost difference between the 5X 32GB and 6P 32GB is so little.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Cancelled my Google Play order, ordered from CPW, £30 saving!
[Nexus 5X General] supercakefish:
They've changed it to preorder on the site now. It definitely was showing as 'in stock' earlier this morning but they've corrected that mistake.
[Nexus 5X General] supercakefish:
Performance beasts with terrible cameras.

This time they've created a more balanced phone with great camera and good enough performance.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
Makes the phone (even 32gb at £349) look much more appealing!

I can sell my N5 for £80, so £269
[Nexus 5X General] Nursi:
I was disappointed at the small(ish) battery, the lack of front speakers, laser focus and, of course, expandable memory again. Just shows you, don't believe the hype! But... I've no doubt this 'll be a fine upgrade to my creaking N4. :)

I was disappointed about the 'exchange rate' but 40 smackers off at CPW aint to be sniffed at, might well have to go with that.
[Nexus 5X General] Masteryates:
I really hope you are correct. Remember how they said the Nexus 5 camera was supposed to be great? (and it only was in fits and jerks.) They should have also gone for a 3000Mah battery. :rolleyes:

I would have liked to have seen the 32GB model come with 3GB of RAM, not for today, but for the future.

Did you order nexus 5x from this shop?

Thank you

[Nexus 5X General] mkouk:
I've ordered mine from Google Play and can't wait! I'm curious though, as I'm on EE, would WiFi calling be available as EE will be selling the device themselves? Or would they only enable WiFi calling for their Nexus5x carrying their crappy customised firmware? Thoughts!?
[Nexus 5X General] supercakefish:
If it works like Three then you should be able to just download the app from the Play Store and it'll just work. I have an unlocked Nexus 5 and it works fine. Hopefully it's the same for EE.
[Nexus 5X General] oxfordmark:
EE said they are going to be selling the N5x and will work with wifi calling.

I hope they offer it to any N5x model and like you said, not the crappy customised version.
[Nexus 5X General] mkouk:
EE doesn't use an app, they use the built-in functionality of iPhone6 and Galaxy S6 to provide their WiFi calling capability. In their Google Nexus 5x announcement they also said that WiFi will become available through a software upgrade at a later date which makes me wonder if they offer the Nexus 5x with a customised firmware rather than the Google Play version.
[Nexus 5X General] tosin01:
I have to admit, it makes a nice change to be able to order the device rather than the chaos we had from the last few releases.
