Waiting for Google play...it will ship in December when the dam world ends....ww3 or aliens idk
[Nexus 7 General] Ahmazin:
Agreed! I'm still excited to get it!

You sound very very logical and calm.. you got yours, right?

i'll have to wait and continue watching this, Maybe? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX1YVzdnpEc

Last 24 hours 235 new pages, and still no shipment from Google.
[Nexus 7 General] xilefian:
Meanwhile, one week into the future...

Everyone BUT Google Play preorders gets a Nexus 7, Google Play preorders cancelled due to short stock, everyone needs to reorder and wait for the 16th batch of Nexus 7 devices which, due to high-demand, won't be available until Christmas! 2013!

Remember: Don't be evil! :angel:​
[Nexus 7 General] Mento:
I don't mind waiting and that Ebuyer shipped them before Google allowed it is good for the people who got it.

I bought it via Google Play and what I dislike is the silence from Google. For what I can see they do have a rough idea when they are able to ship them so an announcement from them saying that it will be shipped between 16 and 18 July for example would be great.

Just a little bit more communication would make things so much better.
[Nexus 7 General] cse2k:
i feel you mate
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
ofcourse thiers no knew info for google play orders lol....they MIGHT....MIGHT ship today apparently..but remeber last time the reps told us that??? so we will see if it does or not...i hope it does...but im not counting on it unfortunetly
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
I know, damm Google, you would think we deserve to get ours shipped out now because we have all shown how commited we are to it in this thread!! lol :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] kboya:
wondering why you aint heard from google?

http://www.itpro.co.uk/641686/google-ceo-page-recovering-from-unspecified-ailment

:laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Was it a week or so ago they started telling people they can't cancel, because the shipping preparations had started or something ?

Maybe they can't tell us what's going on because even THEY don't know when things will happen. Previous things they said now appear false.

Sounds so simple doesn't it ? Credit card company, charge this order. Shipper, ship it. What more could be needed ?

Cluster-flip.
[Nexus 7 General] VoiD_Dweller:
Yeah I Ordered the nex 7 for my Mom for her birthday, which is one day after release. Had to put the receipt in a box with a bunch of heavy stuff so she won't be getting it for a few days after. Hope she's not pissed LOL

Heavy stuff: Monkey wrench and hammer, at least it'll throw her off as to what it is heh
[Nexus 7 General] chronicle:
Lol - that made me smile. What Google support is this you speak of?! If their support is anything like the customer service & communication I've experienced over the past few days, then I'm delighted to have ordered through Ebuyer :)
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
Lost his voice ? So he can't give the go-ahead ? LOL !

Maybe worse and they're busy putting his head in a Futurama style head jar. And the Nexus Z (rhymes with head, outside of the US) interface is bricked.

Addition to WHine about

:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying: First of all we (Pre-ordered Customers) are not getting any new PLAY STORE, on top that HMV is selling it for £189 with f**kin HMV points... Bloody Hell :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Nexus 7 General] P1 Wookie:
Congrats to you folks across the pond that have got yours this morning! It'd be nice if that little pre-emptive Nexus 7 message on the google play phones would allow me to go get mine from GS today.
[Nexus 7 General] mirror image:
I only pre-ordered mine yesterday and I'm already anxiously awaiting it. You guys that ordered one earlier on must be drooling with excitement right about now.
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
obviously, not charged yet, Google will charge us less, like no delivery fee, or just $50 less, + $100 in Play Store, and then everyone will be ecstatic to have preordered the nexus.

Make sense? ha? Google? you there?
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
maybe, just MAYBE this has been Google's plan all along, ship them out on the day\evening of Friday the 13th, 2 days shipping over the weekend and then BAM everyone gets them Monday morning?!? :fingers-crossed:

I'm just trying to keep a posative spin on this!!
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
i remember my galaxy nexus was in the shops the first day out, which was Saturday.. It looks the same here, but delivery next week...

You know what/ just give them for free Google to all those who preordered ? Won't cost you that much, but it will boost your reputation as a seller... do it.. do it.... just do it... look into my eyes... and do it...:silly:
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
^THIS^ :D
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
5am......well google SHIP OUR SH8 lol damit ..then we gotta wait till monday cuz of the weekend...if it ships today......if thats the case..this will be one of those weekends i hate lol..
[Nexus 7 General] jt.one:
day 15:

still waiting for any emails from anybody.

still no signs of nexus7 tablet anywhere.

from anyone.

have seen multiple UPS guys drive by.

some delivered packages to neighbors.

they must have forgotten about me.

running low on food rations.

on my last batch of water.

send help.
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
"Once you place an order, charges generally post to your credit/debit card after your order has shipped, usually within a few days"

This means that we will first get the device and then see a charge in our credit card.

also:

" It may take 24 hours for the FedEx package tracking to return any information for your tracking number'

which could mean that we'll get a tracking number 24h after it has been shipped. That could be the same day as when it will arrive, or a day before/...
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
In other news, a freak co-incidence of Friday the 13th fires erupted simultaneously in shipping warehouses across the country, reducing pallets of Googles new Nexus 7's to ashes.
[Nexus 7 General] Jonnyn93:
I hate the silence from google that there's no communication at all, and the reps will happily silence us for another day or two with, it's shipping tomorrow. Getting to the point now where I just don't care about it anymore and the excitement has gone.
[Nexus 7 General] RBFesquire:
Does this mean, because I only have just on my credit card to cover my order, I could order from HMV, let them take my money, then Play Store will release mine, not charge until after it has dispatched, then I get a free one.

HOLY MOLY I'M ON TO A WINNER HERE!

(before I get flamed, I know it won't work :-))
[Nexus 7 General] qpqpqp:
After this ordeal. I think this will be the last item hardware item i order from the google store.

[Nexus 7 General] Jonnyn93:
I agree, I won't be buying anything on pre order from them again, after they showed off the device and buzzed about it being available from the google store you'd think they would take better care of their customers.
[Nexus 7 General] jt.one:
- has never pre-ordered anything before

- decides to pre-order nexus7 tablet

- goes through the current fiasco/crisis/commotion

bad luck brian?
[Nexus 7 General] spoonboy:
LOL!
[Nexus 7 General] armyboy11b:
I have never per ordered before...and now I know exactly why lol
[Nexus 7 General] TonyHoyle:
ebuyer jumped the gun.. it happens. In the past I've had stuff on preorder where Amazon have done that - posted to arrive on release date instead of posting on the release date, which meant some people got it early.

If you want to be 'first' never preorder anything - find a midnight opening, or someone sending it out early, ebay it from another country, etc. All of these I have done in the past.. I CBA any more and just let things arrive when they arrive.
[Nexus 7 General] chris100575:
Congratulations to the guys who ordered from Ebuyer and now have a Nexus 7, I heartily wish that I had too.

Google Play sucks arse, where's the point in pre-ordering the thing on the 27th when it turns out that I could have left it until yesterday, ordered one from Ebuyer, and had it in my hands today. From the looks of it HMV will have it available on Monday too, also with free shipping.

Thanks Google for letting me pre-order, only to get my device AFTER everyone else, and pay more for it. You suck.
[Nexus 7 General] Jonnyn93:
I guess so, google said mid July and till the 15th-16th they have to fulfil that. So I suppose we should all wait till then for an email. :/
[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
I ordered via Google as at time I thought there was no other option.

Agreed, I need to stop reading this thread though its not good for my cortisol levels :mad:

Ehhh good ppl in this thread but I'm not expecting my order anytime soon I'm take a few days off this thread ...I think...

I ordered 27th GP :/

Thanks Ebuyer. Boooo Google Play.

Ahhh- that smell that only new electronic gadgets have..... :D

[Nexus 7 General] Brac20:
This thread makes me laugh. If 90% of these posts aren't sarcastic then there are some spoiled brats in here :p

The Nexus 7 will be shipped when it's ready, in a week I expect we will all have them to play with and all this "heart-ache" will be forgotten.
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
Has anyone in the US received theirs from anywhere yet? I am going start forwarding this forum to a few news sources. I am surprised there is no mention on how the playstore never came through.

£15 credit and Transformers movie

Just configured my google account on the Nexus and been given the £15 credit and Transformers movie! I thought these were the perks from pre-ordering direct from the Play Store?

That's harsh, sorry guys, but wow, *really* happy with that!

Hope you all get your Nexus 7's soon .. I think it's simply been a case of a retail partner jumping the gun.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I knew there were others selling it on pre order, ie.B&H, Adorama, etc., but I THOUGHT ordering right from Google would get it to me quicker, apparently not. I live only 160 miles northwest of their HQ in Mountain View too, arggghhh, the insanity of it all! :D
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
LEAVE NOW!!!!!
[Nexus 7 General] themonkster:
This forum is Epic
[Nexus 7 General] Mento:
Not sure if true but I did hear that Google Play has trouble with pre-loading Google accounts on the tablet and that this is causing the delay.
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
I agree. You have been banned until we get ours from the play store. Come back in August!!!
[Nexus 7 General] ACCUSED24:
They got too many per orders. Ups only let's them move 10,000 a day...
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
I think on the 27th that I ordered it, Play was the only option. Anyway, i bought a pre-order. Not quite sure now of what it was "pre" .

I live next to shops, i could get it there without any delivery charge.. something is not right... will know for sure after i get it and after Google says something about this.
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
why would they pre-load accounts onto the tablets, you add your account yourself when you switch it on, they same with every other device!
[Nexus 7 General] greygabe:
I feel it necessary to post that there is no fiasco or screw up on Google's part. They are getting it out on time as promised. Why are people upset? Just because one (very) small store in the US didn't listen to manufacturer instructions and sent it out early doesn't mean Google is doing anything wrong. There are a long list of practical, logistical reasons companies set a specific date to let customers have the product. As long as it's here by the end of next week, they are golden in my eyes.

The play store is a wonderful customer experience. I've purchased a Nexus One, all it's accessories, a Galaxy Nexus car dock, and now the Nexus 7. I wish I could have gotten my VZW Galaxy Nexus from them too. You're saying you'll never buy from them because,... what? You didn't get your tablet earlier than they said you'd get it?

Want to know a real fiasco? Look back at VZW Galaxy Nexus launch. That literally took months after other parts of the world already had theirs. They were shipped to many stores 3-5 weeks before they were allowed to be sold to customers.

My 2 cents....
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
I doubt that is true. I don't think they would have some guy sitting there typing your email and password into a tablet to get it pre-loaded. There would be way too many questions about how they handle the security of their end users. I think the delay is simply from them not anticipating the volume of orders they would have.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
I have two stores near me in Ukiah (9 miles south) that have taken pre orders and are supposed to eventually be selling it, Staples and Gamestop, but I thought this would be easier and quicker than messing with that. I ordered mine in July 9th.
[Nexus 7 General] kboya:
I agree, not convinced by the notion of preloading google accounts (not that I am waiting for a GP delivery--I am still waiting for my in transit before 1200 delivery 5...4...3...)
[Nexus 7 General] ACCUSED24:
Idk how they are doing it but its preloaded with your account but when you get it, you need to put in your password to get everything to work.
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
I wanted to give more than my 2 cents, something close to 27000 cents for a nexus, but they are not listening..
[Nexus 7 General] greygabe:
They are doing it to add a more personalized experience. I know it's a little thing, but first impressions are everything...

Kind of like how the Nexus One had free engraving. Sure you could use a sharpie and do it yourself, but the engraving is a nice touch.
[Nexus 7 General] Mento:
From Google Play:

Linking your Nexus 7 to your Google account during purchasing

When purchasing a Nexus 7 from Google Play, you'll notice a 'Link this device to my Google account' checkbox appear in your cart just prior to checkout. When you link a Nexus 7 to your Google account, we'll automatically send your name and username to the device when you first power it on. You'll just need to input your Google account password to get started.

This option will not be visible if there is more than one Nexus 7 in your cart.

Here is the link: http://support.google.com/googlepla...=auto_provisioning&answer=2659446&rd=1#?t=W10.
[Nexus 7 General] mcfar45:
They only preload your account if you checked the checkbox for it
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
I don't think the reason for any of this launch stuff is in the same ballpark as the VZW Nexus stuff. Which, by the way, there really isn't anything to base that off of. There were never any promised release dates that were missed. It was rumors, people listening to their friends, misinformed CSRs at VZW. They didn't really screw up. If anything, the reason for the "delay" with the GNex was probably, and this is only my opinion, Verizon fighting with Google to get two of their branded apps on the phone. These are only my opinions though, so I could very well be wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
Ummm, Do you work for Google or something? Mid July is by this Monday. Looking forward to not having it. My credit card hasn't even been charged yet and I can't see it being shipped before then. Pre order means you are guaranteed it on release day. We will see.
[Nexus 7 General] kboya:
fair play, but that is quite different to 'preloading'
[Nexus 7 General] mparack:
What if you buy it as a gift for someone? No point pre-loading anything and it doesn't work from a logistics point of view.
[Nexus 7 General] mlilliman:
Yeah, that can't be true. You simply enter your google account information when you start-up the device for the first time. That's when you're awarded the £!5 credit and Transformer movie too.

Mine's now just prompted me to run a system update (now, later or ignore options), and completed within a couple of minutes.

It's running:

Android version

4.1.1

Kernel version

3.1.10-g52027f9

Build number

JRO03C

Thanks for the friendly welcome to the forum, guys ;-)
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
My first impression is of a shipping boon-doggle.

(And to anyone who thinks so, no I don't think I'm some spoiled first world brat who expects it yesterday. Tech gets older every day and I want to get started with hacking the thing.)
[Nexus 7 General] Atmazzz:
What upsets me is that Google shipped all these units out to retailers where they are just sitting waiting on Google's approval to sell. Instead they could have been shipped to the people that preordered on the day of the I/O.
[Nexus 7 General] mcfar45:
The preloading is only for those who preordered on the Google Play Store and who checked the checkbox :)
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
It saves a few seconds when you first start it.

And it adds at least a week to the shipping time it appears. LOL.
[Nexus 7 General] utstudent:
Just got an email from David

Thanks but no thanks google, you can keep your device
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
Mid-July is open for interpretation. Don't be so quick to jump on folks. What if by mid-July they meant the middle third of july. Well that could cover from 10 July to 20 July.
[Nexus 7 General] gavinfabl:
You will also get 4 free books.
[Nexus 7 General] mlilliman:
Oh, ok, I wasn't aware of that. Seems an odd move to give yourself the (manual?) task of linking orders and existing accounts to Nexus 7 stock. It took just a few seconds from turning on the device.

Syncing of my account purchase history made with my android phone looks to be working great btw. I'm able to download all previous purchased apps through the Play Store to the Nexus. Football Manager 2012 should look great on the bigger screen!
[Nexus 7 General] MindlessLeadership:
Ordered my Nexus 7 16GB on 29th June, have not received any confirmation what so ever.

Luckily I am quite a patient person.
[Nexus 7 General] giotecno:
I think google has messed up a bit, here in the UK people who bought from an online supplier have started to receive their devices today!!! I ordered from the Play store weeks ago and got nothing! Nice.. what is the benefit of ordering from Google online store? the 25$ or £15 voucher. I rather not have the voucher but have the device. I would have expected Google play customers to get the device before online retailers. just my thoughts.
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjm00:
Is there a limit for the books? Did you mean the books in addition to the movie and credit? If so, is there a dollar value limit on the books you can choose or are they pre-selected?
[Nexus 7 General] greygabe:
Definitely don't work for Google...

And it still could be in our hands by 'release day'. What day that exactly is still hasn't been announced.
[Nexus 7 General] Dest1ny85:
Google is definitely doing Apple a favour with this pre order bull$. No communication, nothing.
[Nexus 7 General] pclov3r:
They probably wont ship today. Or Monday.

I'm guessing they will ship on Wednesday next week.
[Nexus 7 General] ktz84:
Now that's just stupid. Lots of sites were up and running the following day taking order for the Google Nexus. Why should retail customers be treated less equitably than those buying from the store. If they wanted to do that they should have made it a Google Play exclusive for a 1 month period or something along those line. When they chose to to make it available through retail channels then they have to ensure that those retailers get their stock too.
[Nexus 7 General] vxv831:
so right!!! they could have posted it to them the next day, not one week in advance.
[Nexus 7 General] mikereidis:
I hate to say it but I almost feel as if some posters here ARE working for Google and sent here to try to calm us down or make us feel silly for feeling screwed around.

Yes, Google did screw up. They were making statements a week or so ago indicating that shipping was imminent. People were told they couldn't cancel their orders, because they were in some shipping related process.

Any time you have a new highly anticipated high tech product that devs, hackers and enthusiasts are itching to get hold of... AND you're hearing the product is just sitting there in stores and warehouses, getting dust and cobwebs on them, instead of in people hands, and for several days to a week perhaps...

...something IMO is clearly wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] greygabe:
I completely agree. I think it was fighting over little apps and things like that. So while the reasons are different, the frustrations are the same. The only difference is that the VZW Nexus was a many month wait while this is a few week wait. And in this case, they gave a clear deadline and are on track to meet it.
[Nexus 7 General] spences10:
:D enjoy

Pre order doesnt mean it's guaranteed to you
[Nexus 7 General] Rone1986:
In Australia. Pre-ordered 26 June. Wanted to order the cover too, but its not available in Aust for some stupid reason. Can't wait. Plan is for it to replace my Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi.
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
I'm pretty sure the "pre-loading" of your account will just be them linking your devices serial number to your account on their systems when they get it ready to ship so when you first switch it on and connect to the internet it just comes up with your password box, I really doubt they will actuall open up the boxes, switch the devices on and add anything to them manually, that would be silly!!
[Nexus 7 General] mlilliman:
Really? Is that offer available to the UK Play Store customers?

Just had a look around the Books app, and there's a Nexus 7 Guidebook and (of all things) a Jeffrey Archer novel - Time Will Tell !! I think the missus must have used my account in the past!
[Nexus 7 General] scooter217:
Well everything I have pre-ordered in the past, I have gotten on release day, mostly PS3 games though.
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
You...brilliant mind. That's almost like getting it for free compared to my ~$280 total.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Back to the question about having to sign for it - that sounds like a valid question to call Google Customer Support on.

Ask if they are being shipped "Signature Required" - and let us know what you find out, so everyone does not call with the same question.
[Nexus 7 General] panman86:
$110 + xbox 360 + 5 games + controller + rock band mic + headset

:)
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Rock Band is one thing, but why would you get rid of your 360 for a tablet? Lol

I hate how Gamestop rips people off and turns around to sell the items they bought at such an increase in price. I stopped dealing with them after they offered me $25 for a game I bought 2-weeks ago and they were selling for almost full price. Smh
[Nexus 7 General] altrikdout21:
Ouch I couldn't do away with my 360! That explains the bargain price!

Also I'm on hold with Google now. Will post again and let everyone know my findings.
