No it's not supported in india. Few pages ago someone posted a list of service centers that may or may not have spare parts for the N4. Use search.

You are based in Chennai or other towns like madurai/trichy/coimbatore?
You are ordering thro who?
if PPO -customs clearence in Mumbai and bluedart to whichever mofusil town you stay!
If HSG/Comgateway- most probably DHL/Fedex at chennai and their own or affiliate courier to your door. Chennai customs is not that bad like delhi,bangalore customs is the best for HSG use.

Thanks for the info.

I am based in coimbatore .and i used hsg express. But i saw that someone had problems with chennai customs where it was 2.5k.
Can you please tell me whether it will be through chennai or through other customs for coimbatoree shimpent?

I have this case.. iTS damn good .. I really like it..

It feels better in hands than original bumper.

But weak point is buttons need to be pushed hard unlike OEM Bumper

i prefer it over any other case made till today for N4

can you pls tell where did you order it from>? is it available for order in India? and how much did you pay for it?

Hi all,

I have been asking this question multiple times...can anyone help me ??
for tamilnadu coimbatore shipment, where the duty clearance would happen ??I am using HSG express.
would be delhi, bangalore or chennai ?

Please

From lack of responses I'm guessing no one from your area is active on this thread. Eitherways I recommend you contact DHL customer care. They're pretty helpful and will best be able to answer your question regarding Customs clearance in a few minutes.
Googled this info for you :

If you would like to speak to a DHL Express Customer Service agent, please call us on 1800 111 345 or 1800 200 1345.
These numbers are only accessible if dialed from India. International callers may dial +91-22-66789001. Charges may apply as per your telecom provider’s tariff.

My package is at Heathrow airport . On it's way to Ahmedabad, via Comgateway. Man, the whole process is like a mission, a task. Hope nothing goes wrong now. If anyone from Gujarat has any questions, ask away.

Looks like our packages are travelling together.

True. Iam just assuming ---incase my credit card bank thinks it is suspicious transaction outside India.....they can call me during India working hours immediately to clarify that that this transaction is indeed done by me.It is brand new credit card too.!! may be you are right Iam just scared before plunging in.:victory:

Had an s3 before too. Touch wiz was laggy n bloated, tw based Roms like omega were fast but then I hate how tw looks. Cm10.1 has issues like camera, HDMI out not working(no sources). BTW 2 days after I moved to cm10.1 from cm10 is when I decided to buy nexus 4, wanted to experience that smoothness on a nexus 2 GB ram device

Agreed for sure... i dunno why people make it a fanboy affair if someone even lists some downsides of N4!!? No phone is perfect and to each his own... My point was simple that although being a year old, just being competing enough with N4 is a big triumph for S3, not saying which one is better but this forum is for users sharing their experiences (good or bad). Like i said, operationally it might be better but no warranty support and spare part hurts real bad (spent over $140 to replace a screen so i know how it feels).

It is like Blind guiding the ..... Iam myself searched all the pages and kind of the opinion that Hyderabad shipment (for me)using HSG clears customs in dreaded Delhi......!!! It will be in chennai airport only.Let us know the damage after you get.
only for this reason Iam kind of thinking of changing to PPO (though $32 tax per phone is a shocker) as they clear customs on their own at Mumbai and deliver a sealed box via Bluedart. Most posters are talking only charged total freight+ customs -Rs 1300 ($24)

do you think chenai customs is too bad ?can they charge more duty that they are supposed to?
what is the actual charge that should be levied ?
any idea on the break up of custom charges on mobile ?

That's consumer behavior. We all believe we made the right choices, sometimes we are also sure that no better choice exists

Agree to the support/spare parts thing. Can be a bummer (though I've never had to enforce my warranty for any of my devices, hope it remains so) does the warranty (on an s3 bought in India for instance) cover damage from falls? And I guess it's a repair guarantee n not replacement.

I'll answer whatever I can.
>The $1 dollar charge is normal to verify the card.
> If you're shipping 2 phones I'd strongly recommend you go with HSG as PPOBox has a $200 insurance limit per package and after paying $711, is a huge risk to take IMHO,
>When you select Standard Shipment from HSG, they send the package via FedEx. If you select Express shipping (approx 5 days) your package is sent via DHL.
>Your package will be delivered all the way by the same courier company unless it's a remote location when they might resort to another courier(kinda rare).
>PPO boxes are mostly unopened for whatever reason.HSG arent so lucky to have sealed boxes delivered to customers but very few issues of tampering with open boxes have ever cropped up. (just 1 user I've read of in the last 7000+ posts). As a precaution NEVER SIGN BEFORE INSPECTING THE PACKAGE.

Thanks for pointing out to a very valid issue.Insurance to cover the full amount is also important. Iam ordering two phones together as Google 2 day delivery cost+ forwarder freight shipping cost+ courier service fee for handling customs is the same for one or two N4 phones. HSG delivery to Hyderabad clears customs at Delhi (higher duty) + box gets opened is the sticking point. HSG express shipping cost before customs alone comes to $28 or so where as PPO charges Rs 1300 /per phone for total freight from usa+customs +onward bluedart.delivery(octroi factor not included)
I guess I will try both HSG and PPO .
when 1st order is delivered from Google to forwarder 's Usa office,I will try the second one.

Hi all friends, I am an user of N700(Galaxy Note). I know every phone has some issues, even Galaxy series. My point was price. 28k is not a good deal for purchasing N4,compare to 22/23k. I thought LG removed the buzzing problem issue in their 2/3 lot. But unfortunately it still exist. My next phone is going to be N4 or may be N5. It is huge demanding phone and we all know we can't expect a best hardware with this price and from LG like company.

You mean N4 with all the problems is ok for you at Rs 23 k price point & not at 28k ebay price? You are right pricing wise still Galaxy nexus was priced at around $500 or so with out contract for 16gb where as N4 16gb is priced at 349 ex factory gate.so LG cut corners.

app store

hey guys, i have a query,
if i import this phone, how will the app store work,?
i mean will the app store be different than the indian android phone market,
will the apps will be priced in dollars instead of rupees etc,
i am asking this cause i had a htc windows phone imported from us and its app store was completely different than the app store in india, there where a lot more free apps and were priced cheaper , in rupees.
also what else on the phone i can expect to be customized for USA markets that might not function here properly.?

thanks..

Again Stop talking from your arse .
USE THE ****ING DEVICE BEFORE SAYING LG CANT MAKE GOOD PHONES.
LG actually has very very well built phones and have always had well built phones only problem was their software and updates were down right terrible .
Only reason there was a shortage of supply is because Google didn't estimate so many sales no fault of LG , And again the reason LG is cheaper than Samsung is because Google is selling it directly not LG unlike galaxy nexus which was also dropped to 350 when google started selling it .

Stop Spreading FUD no one is asking u morons to buy the phone, but don't spread stupid rumors and create FUD your kind of people are the worst king 0 first hand experience and knowledge but talk big words straight form the ass .

I've owned a Nexus S , And Galaxy nexus before nexus 4 and and build quality wise Nexus 4 is the best built phone LG didn't cut any corner's .

The Play Store detects your sim card and shows the local play store version, not the indian. If you want the American play store, you can root your phone and use market unlocker app.
