Going to Japan in December. Would it be possible to buy N5 in store or have it delivered to a hotel?

Thanks

How do you guys order from google play jpn? There's something like hopshopgo? and what vpn you guys use to access the website
Click to expand...

1. register an account at Tenso JAPAN - A service that ships Japanese goods overseas. Use for sites like Amazon, Rakuten, Yahoo! Shopping. (equivalent of hopshopgo)
2. download a vpn and choose a jp connection (OkayFreedom etc.)
3. create a new jp based google account.
4. access http://wallet.google.com to register your payment method (billing & shipping address is the tenso address)
5. go to http://play.google.com to order your N5! :s12: (you should receive an email of purchase confirmation)
*use chrome for the translate function

When you place the phone(screen on) on the table, it will auto turn off. While on the table, if there's some movement detected by the light sensor, the phone will on again.

I actually contacted Google about this. Try these steps and it'll work.

Thanks for contacting Google Support about country support for Google Play.

We use the billing address of your default payment instrument in Google Wallet to help determine your home country for accessing the Play Store. Our collection of content can vary by country, so your view of the Play Store may differ from what others are seeing when you travel outside of the country listed on your default payment method's billing address.

Please note that you must have a valid payment method with a billing address located inside a country in order to access that country's Play Store.

If you're having issues viewing your intended country's Play Store and would like to change your default payment method or update an existing billing address in Google Wallet, please use the following steps:

1) Sign into your Google Wallet account to manage your payment methods (https://wallet.google.com/manage/paymentMethods)

2) Add a new card or change your default payment instrument to one with a billing address located inside your desired country

3) Open the Play Store and navigate to any item available for download

4) Click to begin a download until you reach the "Accept and buy" screen (no need to complete the purchase)

5) Close the Play Store and clear data for the Google Play Store application (Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Clear Data) or clear your browser cache

6) Re-open the Play Store. You should now see the Play Store that matches your default payment instrument's billing country.

If you haven't yet added a payment method to your account for the first time, please add a card directly from the Play Store with a billing address that matches your intended country location. Then, follow steps 3 through 6 to show your intended country's Play Store.

I have used this method it doesn't work until I clear data on my Download Manager

I am using the jap set nexus 5, cut my own old Sim card to Nano Sim and put in with the Nano to micro Sim adapter. LTE activated when i recontract. I am using singtel.

I want to set my nexus 5 to 3G or 2G only to save batt, but apparently once i set 2G or 3G only connection. There will be no internet connection. But set LTE only, it works and it can be auto switched either LTE, HSPA or 3G connection.
