From where we can find the tenso buying service ? Cant seems to find it in their page. Can you give me the link ?

Japanese Buying Service [ Tenso.com ] | Forwarding service connecting overseas customers and Japanese online stores.

Hello,

Anyone with experience with tenso buying service? I already placed an order and they say need 1 business day to consolidate. Is it 100% success rate? The only draback is the 80+ SGD buying service but google hates me man

The extra 15% is quite ex imho. Probably u can get it cheaper and faster from 1 of the bros here.

Hi guys,

As I mentioned, google really hates some of us, and we don't really know why For those who'd like a peace of mind and be assured that u will see the n5 at your doorstep soon(tenso super fast) then well 80 dollars could be well spent XD I'm leaving my current order open, once it gets cancelled again, then I will give the green light to tenso. I hope i can save 80 dollars, but see how la

You choose which combo? I chose black + 32GB still pending... I too excited le lol

EDIT: One more thing, I actually tried multiple times but my card got rejected. What I did was go to wallet.google.com first and add my cc there, then go to the play store and buy a nexus

Just read on reddit about some people cannot get 3G signal when using 4G sim card or something.

Anyone has a US set and can confirm that the 3G can work here? Thanks

I just got my Nexus 5 today.
It is my first Android phone.

I saw in previous posts that people had problems with the power button in Nexus 4. So what app can I use to configure the volume buttons to turn on/off the phone ?

I used power toggles(required root) to off, restart and lockscreen for my N4, that basically reduce my usage on the power button.

For volume button to on/off, I believed root is needed too since it is your first android phone, go xda read up on rooting first.

that particular charger has a horrible SHINING BLUE LED LIGHT THAT WILL BLIND YOU FOR THE REST OF ETERNITY.

reviewers have said it's so bright, it's can be used as a night light, a blue one.
