Huge issues trying to get Google to ship it to here. You will have to post it to Google a d use parcel motel to receive email the replacement.

My one just started to develop bad backlight bleeding in the top left corner and has what looks like a lens flare spot right in front of where the phone normally warms up

I was on to Google but can't start an RMA yet because my card is maxed out so they can't put a hold on it, I'll have to do it in January. Does anyone know if there are any issues with sending it back or getting one shipped to here through the RMA process?

Hi all,

Does anyone know if Carphone Warehouse stores in the North actually have the nexus 5 in stock? Tried calling most of them today (many times) but not one of my calls was answered!!

Was thinking of taking a spin up on saturday...

Does any one know of a good, strong, protective case that also covers over the screen? I'd ideally like something like the Spigen Slim Armour for the S4 but obviously for the Nexus 5. Going skiing in a few weeks and would rather not destroy my phone when I fall, which will happen, a lot.

Thanks for that writhen...looking for a black one, belfast maybe...

I'm getting mine on Monday when herselfs brother brings it back from UK when he's home for Christmas!

I've got to get a micro sim in the Meteor shop. Anyone know how long it takes for the number to swap to the new SIM?

Ask Meteor for a micro sim with an adapter so you can use it with your old phone as well as the Nexus. This way you can use a micro sim in your old phone straight away and when you get your new phone just change the sim over.

The sim adapters are free in Meteor.

This is what my Nexus developed suddenly after a month or so, those 2 blue circles and the backlight bleeding from the volume rocker is much worse than it was. Anyone have anything similar happen?

Zab · 21-12-2013 3:58pm

I'd send that back Hellbound (or get on to Play support anyway)

5starpool · 21-12-2013 7:48pm

No lightbleed or anything issues with mine.

They actually sell Spigen Slim Armour for the Nexus 5. I've ordered it.

The one for the nexus 5 doesn't cover over the screen like it does on the s4.

I'm using the neo hybrid at the moment and I find it great. Also have another spigen one which names escapes me right now but the neo hybrid is a lot less bulky and offers a good level of protection.

Does anybody know if the CPW's in Belfast have it in stock? Still can't get an answer from any store up there!!!

Looking for a 16gb, black ...

Cheers.

amazon has free shipping but they charge you irish VAT so it works out at about 400e. It's about 370e direct from play inc shipping costs (16gb model).

Have you a link for one? I tried a few on Amazon.co.uk & .com and they won't ship to my address (Dublin)

AlanS181824 · 22-12-2013 9:05pm

I really wanted one of these but I've settled on a Moto G instead.

Tesco Direct (England)
You can get it here in the Meteor/Eircom/eMobile shops for €150 for the 8GB model.

Just got delivery off this crowd through Amazon. Turns out it's a US model, which they made no mention of :mad:

Apart from LTE, will the phone function as normal??

Yeah, everything will work fine.

Gryzor · 23-12-2013 12:33pm

Grand, LTE's not a biggy for me...probably affect resale value though...I assume I'll be in a sticky situation should I need a warranty claim aswell??

cgarrad · 23-12-2013 12:45pm

Possibly. Its probably a VAT scam by the reseller on Amazon.

Definitely tell Amazon.

It does say on the ad it's the LG-D820, which is the US one. The LG-D821 is what you need.

Pity though, easy not to spot that.

Gryzor · 23-12-2013 2:12pm

Yeah, it's my fault, I presumed :rolleyes:

But a bit sneaky by the seller, should have been clearer methinks...

Similarly wanted one but settled for the LG G2, which is similar except for better specs, got the Moto G as well, super Phone as well.

Has anyone got phone insurance for their nexus 5? Thinking about it since screen repairs seem to be quite pricey. Are the issues around ordering in Ireland likely to be a problem?

A friend had it a few years ago and said that red tape made it so to make a claim that it was pretty worthless. Is there any provider people would reccomend?

I'm with Vodafone and their cover is for a similarly priced handset. Means they'll replace it with whatever heap is going at the time.

Hey all,
Did anyone get a wireless charger for their N5 today?? I did and I can't for the life of me get it to charge my N5 or my N4?? Anyone else in the same boat?
