Official "I JUST ORDERED THE NEXUS 5!!!" Thread

I regret to inform you guys. My nexus 5 has been stolen. It was the first I ever bought for myself(I'm 19). School is first priority, saving up for a car second and of course all my monthly bills; won't be able to afford another until next year, probably.

I hope none of you ever have to go through this.

Did you report it stolen to the police and your carrier?

Did you have any locator apps installed? If not log into the play store and install plan b remotely. It will attempt to locate the device. You can also try using androids remote locator from the play store

Probably his best bet would be use Android Device Manager since unfortunately Plan B and similar apps won't auto-launch after remote install on versions of Android higher than 2.3 (GB).
 
it was stolen on the bus. LAPD says that's not their jurisdiction, that its the sheriffs because it was stolen while I was on the bus. I reported it to them, he said to be honest there really isn't anything he can do. if they bring him for other reasons and they find the phone,they'll give me a call. besides that there's nothing else they can do.

I have device manager installed, I tracked it for a day. saw some of his "hangout spots" also I have the address to where he spends the night, (he connected to wifi giving me a very specific location).

I found out where he spends the night after I filed the report . so idk if I call back and tell them if it will help. or if I should just go on my own
 
Unfortunately, this is why phone theft is at an all time high. Police generally won't act even if you provide them with the exact location of the device.

I get my 32 GB Nexus 5 tomorrow T-mobile or Sprint?

I hope you ordered from the play store, as I don't believe the carriers stock 32gb.

If you're asking which carrier to go with, that going to depend largely on coverage in your area and budget.

Yeah she knew better than to open it considering I always take pics of everything as I open the boxes.


Love my phone btw!

A sensible thing to do. I did the same when we got our exercise bike, which was just as well because it arrived damaged.
 
I want a Nexus so badly. Does Google ever have a sale that discounts them even more? I would want 32 gb model

Generally only when trying to push out the last of their inventory right before the next model comes along. So I wouldn't expect a discount until the end of summer.
 
Just left my (Verizon) Galaxy Nexus :( for my 16GB (T-Mobile) Black Nexus! :) I almost pulled the trigger on a 32GB White (Verizon) LG G2 but I wanted unlimited data so I switched to T-Mobile's plan. Wish I would've waited on a 32GB White Nexus 5 but it was kinda an impulse buy once I had this thing in my hand.

4 hours in to owning this and I'm blown away :) now on to the fun stuff!
 
I'm like 11 days into having my Nexus and I just love it. Such a badass device. I had missed wireless charging and vanilla Android. The two finger notification pulldown is just better than what any OEM is doing.

Fine with me. Imo this is the best nexus ever made but I already have a note 3 so can't justify the expense of a new one
