Nexus outside of the US - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys.
I'm currently on the HTC One X, but I'm going to buy the Nexus 5 when it arrives.
I live in Denmark, but have a friend who is in USA this year, so I'm going to buy it through Google Play.
My question is: If my phone has some flaws or problems, do I have to send it back to the US or can I just contact Google in Denmark and send it to them?
Thanks

It should not matter, but you should write to google or call just to be sure.

I believe Google only provides support for the devices in the countries in which it sells them directly.

If you purchase the device in the US I believe it would need to be replaced in the US or by LG in your country.

u should be able to get it end of the month in europe, the devices should be released in asia by the end of the year if everything goes smoothly, i believe HTC should have released it in europe by then
I sent several mails to Expansys UK and they told me:
Dear Sir,
The handset Only Price: £449.95 (382.94 exc.)
Shipping costs 13.95 ukp. We will accept CC or bank transfer as the payment method.
Regards
Now my question is; I'm not a Brithish citizen, so I think I have not pay for a tax, I'm right?
They still inform me DUE november 23th. Is that right? just wait for a while.

btw here in italy cheapest price is 630 euros!
any of your portugal shop sell trinity with italian language?
selling for sgd1298 about euro650 over here in Singapore
The Portuguese Web pages that I saw, offer the device in English.
So in moment, no Italian or other language. Hope the Trinity will sale in hole Europe at the end of next week or in two weeks. And of course, you can buy it in your native language.

If they ship to Spain you will have to pay UK VAT. Both the UK and Spain are part of the European Union.

You might indeed get a good deal, since for export the 16% German VAT is deducted, but of course you pay shipping and Singapore VAT. During my Asian travels for the last two years I noticed that prices in Germany are much better than in Asia, wonder why - these boys toys are made in your backyard
Unfortunately this respected online shop of a large trader only sells within Europe, at 501,12 Euro incl. VAT: http://www.handyattacke.de/cgi/websale6.cgi?shopid=etronixx&subshopid=attacke
But even Amazon Germany is not far behind, at 519 euros: http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000JWEAL4/idealode-21/ref=nosim
My local shop promised to match their price, in case I buy this baby...
I made a cancellaton, why? simple, I ordered last saturday and today I don't have the device. I made a call phone to Portugal and they told me the device is in Portugal yet. So, tomorrow I'll make a trip and at the end of the week end and international trip for long term.
Bye, bye Trinity.!!!! I'm so furious.
>lucas0511 - hehehe don't understand german at all so will give the website a pass thanks anyway!!! but although the price is quite a figure in my country i can have a gurantee in which i would not have if i import from overseas, if the set gets damaged along the way to Singapore it will be a major headache for me already hahaha so will stick to buying the set in SIngapore instead!!!
Where to buy the Trinity in the UK
Hi Guys just to let you know that I popped into Inkino in Central London and they have the whole HTC range. Picked up the Trinity. Good thing is that I was able to try it out and get a feel for the unit. Something that the web experience lacks! What also amazed me was that the also keep the Dell x51v and the Fujitsu Siemens n560 and T830. Thought that I would would just mention this as I thought that these units were only available for purchase on the web. Inkino are at www.inkino.co.uk and their store address is 243 Tottenham Court Road, London, W1T 7QS. What also is useful is that they have a Russian speaker (useful for me!) Their other staff include fluent Chinese and Spanish speakers. I have become a fan of shopping in a shop again! Hope this is useful for anyone struggling to find the Trinity as I know some online sellers had run out of stock.

Where to buy unlocked GSM Hero?

Other than ebay, where can I get an unlocked hero? I know there's a site called 'puremobile' or 'purephones' or something... there was a site that I was on yesterday that had unlocked Hero's for $520 which is a perfect price but I can't seem to remember where that was.
LOL they have them on ebay for around 400 or even less if your lucky.
Mind pasting some links? Because I'm looking on EBay and all I see is $550 and up right now.
Have you tried Handtec? i bought my HD from there, dunno if they have a US Site tho
Hmm... I'm not sure if they will ship to the states... Any others?
Puremobile - Canadian retailer
Negri Electronics - I got mine from here. It was already unlocked (the Telus version), so I didn't have to pony up for an unlock code. Ships from Wisconsin
i Would check out play.com or similar sites, they sell unlocked (simfree) handsets , i would avoid ebay or any sites like that
Hello just registered
I am exactly looking for same thing.Please someone help me I will buy from US.
What i came accross was ;
http://www.integrontech.com/HTC-Hero-Unlocked-QuadBand-White-p/htc-hero-wht.htm
499 bucks.
But is this site safe ? And i read something like this about them ? But i guess this problem can be solved with ROM update right ?
DO NOT BUY FORM THIS COMPANY. i bought a htc hero, it came in quickly but could only be set up in enlish with three asian countries, no possiblities to be set up in USA or any other country. Once you set up english in either Malaysian, Cambodia, or Indonesia then you get english key board but still has asian symbols so you don't to use full effect of keypad. Also it does not have andriod market or any upgrade programs. i tried to call the company, no answer, then i sent them 8 yes 8 emails asking them to contact me and not one single reply so now my return deadline has passed. i contacted better business beruea and if i don't hear from them soon i will contact them via my brother who lucky for me works FBI in the southern florida district and has police friends to get something moving on this scam. they robbed me of 499.00 dollars and i am not happy. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY AND AMAZON SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO USE THEM.

[Q] htcsense.com & Buying HTC DHD from abroad?

Hello everyone,
I was having this question and HTC support answers to this in a very cryptic manner so I don't get a real picture. I assume that people here, especially those who live outside UK could help.
You see, when you login to https://www.htcsense.com/ for the first time, you are required to select your country. As you see, for Europe, only the following countries are listed:
•Danmark
•Deutschland
•España
•France
•Italia
•Magyarország
•Nederland
•Polska
•Sverige
•United Kingdom
•Česká republika
•Россия и СНГ
Now, I live in Cyprus and as you see, not even Greece is listed.
I don't really know what all the services there are about but from past experienses, like the Apple store, I understand that many online features could be related to the country, so if my country is not listed there, that feature will be unavailable.
HTC support, informed me that I should buy from local store instead of abroad and now my question is the following:
If I buy locally, it will be about 600 Euros but if I buy from UK shop or eBay, it will be about 100 less. So, if I do buy from UK, will I lose any online functionality from htcsense? in other words, is the phone IMEI or SN locked to a country and can only register there?

How to get a Nexus 4 in Italy?

As the title says,I would buy a Nexus 4,but I live in Italy and I don't know when it will be available in my county....
So,how can i take it from America(I'll save some euros paying it with dollars)?
If someone could send it to me i'll pay shipping cost and a little extra.....or there are any shops like amazon that can send it to me?
+1
I'm Italian too and the Nexus 4 will be buyable in the end of November and the first dais of dicember from Internet and shops as Media world..
Now the question is: how much will it cost? I read in countries those can't buy it from play store (Italy, Austria, Sweden, Netherlands and others) it will cost 550 euro in 16gb version! It's a theft!
Any information about this?

I'm looking for another way to buy the Nexus 4 because i've read about the price in Italy and I don't want to be robbed,I can ask to my uncle in Germany and he will send it to me,but buying it in America would be a better way because I won't annoy my uncle and I could save some euros(349$ for the phone+more or less 50$ of shipping cost=309 euros).So,someone know about a site where i can buy it?If not,who could send it to me from America?

Only from an online store like amazon or expansys. In order to get it from play you must have an adress in the u.s as well as a u.s credit card.

Can buy from uk
Hi I can get it from UK as my brother still lives there and if someone wants one I can get it for you + a little extra. Of course if you don't trust me (why you should?) I can arrange a "meeting day" for delivery in the Venezia-Mestre/Padova area.
If you are interested PM me
I'm Italian but living in London.. was wondering how the warranty will work with devices bought in UK and taken to Italy, in case if issues will you have to send it back in UK?

G4: Buying in UK, using in India!

Well.. the subject says a lot about my concern..
But the specific issue would be: Will I get the Android updates in India, if I'm using a N4 bought from UK?
PS: I believe there won't be any radio issues because they are anyway selling same N4's worldwide! Please confirm, someone?
PPS: Its N4 in the status! G4 is a typo *sort of*
Yes you should get the updates and your calling / internet should work with your Indian service provider frequency too.
I m getting one too
hey ..I am also getting one from UK. My friend will bring that for me. Can you tell me how much will be taxes and shipping over the 279 pound price.
PS : shipping to London not India :good:
Tax (VAT) is included in the price, shipping we don't know for sure yet, but it's looking like £9.99
Can anyone bring one for me
Thanks for the replies guys!
I'll ask a friend to bring one with her when she comes to India. Also, I've no idea about the shipping/ taxes but it will anyday be less than the ebay price of ~27k (16GB) in India ..
One more question. I read somewhere that phones bought in UK will be registered on Google Play with a UK account only. Is that true?
*sorry for the newb-ness*
Nope.

That's not true, there is no such thing as a "UK Account" all Google Accounts are international. My dad bought a One X in India with a Google Account he made there, and he brought it back to Australia, and it's fine. Jellybean Update, the lot. However, there are a bunch of Indian apps, like Bollywood Music Streaming, and AirIndia, that are still on the phone. But besides, that it's great.

That sounds great. As a matter of fact, that very reassuring! Thanks for sharing! ..
I believe the Indian apps should anyway vanish after installing a custom ROM!

That isn't too long a wait to make!
But the bigger question is, what would be the price?
Nexus 7 launched at 17,000, almost a double of what it meant in $$ exchange terms!
