Nexus 5 Review Add-on: The worst thing about Google’s Nexus 5 | BGR

battery life is really holding me back to buy the N5.

my current xz battery already cannot last more than 8 hours

Those who have gotten the N5 please do a review on the battery.
Thanks!

It's better than the N4, but not by much. Standby time is good, but once you use it for anything, battery goes down quickly - pretty much the same for all Nexus phones.

ok for vpost users, i called their csr she told me that vpost tracking shitty but the good thing is my package (gordon house received 7/11) is shipped... so there may be hope

for vpost, u mean they auto ship back to sg even without u making payment first?

 

[cheong79]

just want to chime in, i received my japan set today.

I know many of you are using tenso. I don't know how much it costs but i can recommend you guys Tenso Japan - Japan Package and Mail Forwarding Services. Connecting You and Japanese Online Stores, which is also a division of Tenso i believe.

It is extremely cheap and quick, no need for any identification or proof.

My nexus 5 shipped to me in 2 days after arriving at the forwarders and the shipping total was 1400yen which is only about $17sgd or so.

Bookmarked

i ordered the phone the morning after release and received it today.

I'm checking Tenso Japan...They have Identification check as well...& They never request it from you before shipment?

i dont thing theyll ship your parcel if you havent pay their fee. if vpost jp received your package and you have paid their charges, you can call them and troll them

Which telco are you on? So the nexus 5 Will be able to connect to the telco network successfully and use only 3G; and not switching between 4G and 3G lile described. ..?

Theoretically, it should work as long as the 3G frequency is the same.

In Android, you can choose your network configuration.
Under Wireless & networks > mobile networks> Network mode

Just force it to 3G only and you should be fine.

anyone using the US set yet?

The issue only occurs when your telco has lte, your plan is 3g plan only.

I read that forcing on settings doesn't help either.

 

[clfoong]

So anyone with Japan set managed to connect 3G & 4G/LTE data?

Have you tried calling SCB in regards to your transaction?

you cannot put you forwarder's address as the billing address. this is one of the first info CC transaction are checked for.

in the case of google play japan, they do not accept non-japanese billing address.

the workaround is to put the country code in the form as JP
but in the address field, enter the actual billing address of your card.
