using jap n5 and currently on 3G only plan. I cant get the 3G to work even though I tried changing the setting to either LTE and 3G. Anyone can help?

Mine also jap set with 3G. It works in Jurong. Setting is 3G.

No leh, it doesn't say reserved.

In the email receipt it says,ships by November 20.
In the Google Wallet it says, pending.
In Google Play store it says, pre-ordered, leaves warehouse on November 20.

So far doesn't look good.

Jayz...same as your status...I make another new account to order...also same status....Google only ship on weekdays? off at weekend?? if yes, we can see progress by next monday only

Great news for us who ordered 32GB BLACK! NOW GOOGLE PLEASE SHIP!!

Ps for not re-sizing picture

Just making a guess here.
Did you mentioned your order was unsuccessful all this while? Take a look at the URL, I think your google account is default to SG already. My URL even after chrome translate to English, the end is still ending with ja.

You may really need to recreate a new account if it is still unsuccessful.

i'm singtel, 3G only plan, at west coast/clementi.

Try this:

1. Dial this: *#*#4636#*#*
2. Go Phone Information
3. Scroll down to Set Preferred Network Type:
4. Select GSM auto (PRL)
5. Wait. If no effect, try restarting.

the network type was GSM auto (PRL) default. tried switching to others and then back to GSM auto (PRL) and restarted but still no 3G

get another sim card to try? What does it show now? Can show us notifications screen? Does it even connect to 2G? Did you just cut your SIM card manually? If yes, maybe cut liao cannot use sim card?

Have you selected your Access Point?

My 3G only worked after selecting one of the 2 in the list

- Starhub

Just got my Nexus 5. Looking at getting a matte case. So far I've seen 3 that look pretty good:

Caseology Matte Finish Slim Fit Flexible Hybrid TPU Case
Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case
Spigen Google Nexus 5 Case Slim
However, they don't seem to ship internationally from Amazon. Does anyone know how to get these cases, or similar cases?

Can try getting from Qoo10? Check out the listing at the following link. It ships from South Korea. Just ordered mine.

I think this is the cheapest option if you are not ordering from MO.

Guys how to tell if you have 3G or 4G network? I'm not sure, but my monthly data cap is 2GB not 12GB, means 4G?

Like that is 3G:

If instead of 3G or H/H+, it shows LTE, means its 4G

Since you have 2GB data cap, you are probably on a 4G plan

That is correct. Your plan is on 4G. However, if there is no 4G coverage, your phone will automatically switch to 3G. 3G usage is still counted towards the 4G data limit cap though.

Yeah maybe.

I didn't do browsing much though, mostly WhatsApp.

now you mentioned it, my SIM card is cut manually, so it might be the cause of it. I'll visit the Singtel shop tomorrow. Will they charge to change the sim card?
