A tad confused. I'm seeing posts where people are saying that they were charged days after placing their order. The money was taken out of my account the moment I hit "confirm."

I got paid and immediately purchased the N4. The money is out of my account now.

Other threads read said they won't charge you until it ships... Another said there's a hold on the money, but they won't take it until it ships. I'm a bit confused now reading a few posts saying that they weren't actually charged until a few days afterwards.

I just hope that I don't need to make sure I have the $383.93 in my account come January when it ships.
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Might be you lucky soul
[Nexus 4 General] morejaylesswar:
I hope not! Have you heard any dates on that?
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
It will be available again after a few days, that is an authorization charge. It will show pending until a) 7 days go by or b) they ship your device.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Dirty u did have nothing to worry about posting what was going on. I do understand though yesterday I didn't want to post because of the same thing. We are all in this together. There are a few on here that I can call friends now and you are one of them. You have been nothing but compassionate and supportive through all of this. I'm just happy the gates seem to be opening. I'm still very concerned about the others that are still waiting especially those from Nov 13 and the rmas like u and munchy. Tom man stick in their my brother.
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Nope !
[Nexus 4 General] morejaylesswar:
Okay, thanks for clarifying that.

So, I assume, just for safe measures I should keep that money in the account.

I'm concerned because I transfer money between accounts often. One for my business and one for personal. I don't want to mess myself up by transferring the remaining balance thinking that Google has their money and they don't just yet.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Dude I think I need to buy a solar charger like now.
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
Same here, work Monday is going to be hell. Enjoy the gloomy weather this weekend!
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
How many from 11/13 still do not have their phones/ updated ordering info besides me...I think there are a few left.

I really hope its fixed next week and I don't become the last of a dying breed of Limbo Masters
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Did any 5-6 weeker who ordered on 3rd Dec got any shipping mail, or any change ??
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Supposed to snow at some point. Can't wait ¬_¬
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
Still here
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Still nothing?! Did they have you update your card information?
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
You are correct, except that 7 days is not for sure. Each bank or cc company has their own policy on this. Could be 3 days all the way up to 30. Unless you charged on the same kind of card and know this. In that case I apologize.

Again Congrats congrats on finally getting a shipping label! Let's hope it doesn't get stuck in UPS limbo!
[Nexus 4 General] CTMeow:
As am I.
[Nexus 4 General] Slymobi:
Its gotta be, I just checked email. All shipped, charged and 1 failed delivery lol 3 days holy cow. It said 4 - 5 weeks :confused: I'm off out to do the lottery! I feel lucky.

Really sorry to all you who are waiting.........but Monday is early crimbo for me.;):beer:
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Man they owe u a free phone, bumper, and a letter apologizing from Larry page with an invite to the next nexus launch complete with the next nexus free. All Nov 13ers that are still left do.
[Nexus 4 General] shaundroid:
Worth noting; the UPS delivery guy showed at my house driving a Penske rental truck. SMH

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] gorint9:
I am here too... no worries...

Now a question - but first a few timelines:

- 11/13 after numerous refreshes, manage to order the phone (thrilled and cannot believe my luck)

- 11/14 purchase a screen protector (the expensive kind ~$15 front and back, etc)

- 11/15 backorder !

- 11/18 (or so) receive screen protector

- 11/26 update your card email - I do it

- 12/06 update your card email (with link) - I do it again

- 12/07 nothing, nothing at all - no pending charges, nothing (card is good, mind you, no doubt about that)

So, I fully expect to receive (tonight, tomorrow or Monday) the dreaded "sorry you canceled your order" email.

Question: the way I see it, Google owes me $15 for this screen protector that I cannot return now (not sure I ever could to be honest, but don't care to find out). What are your thoughts and how would you approach this?
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
+1!

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] BumbleG:
I was under the impression that mine was shipped since the CSRs i talked to said they were waiting for info from the shipping provider, that obviously never happened. Your post reminds me though: WTF am I going to do with all these screen protectors!?
[Nexus 4 General] remister:
Most likely, all Nexus 4 in the PENSKE truck.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I would not wait around for the orb. I waited and waited and waited for the GNex pogo dock that never came. Just buy the one on Amazon, the "LG wireless pad", it's awesome! But the price is going up...I bought it for $45 shipped, last I checked it's now $65 shipped. The orb will be a baby unicorn.

Along with that n7 case that Mathias showed in one of his videos.

And with the LG wireless pad you can use it with a tpu....by the looks of the orb, it doesn't seem possible that you'll be able to charge with a case on.
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
I went in an manually re-updated the info after seeing everyone else being asked. Nothing. I purchased an app and it went through with no issue.

I am now PENDING with a Supervisor personally calling me on Monday to personally provide me with an update! lol That call will probably go "....it is still being processed. Give it until tomorrow to hear from a Specialist".
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
sell em on ebay at 300% mark up :p
[Nexus 4 General] rock7632:
I still don't have mine
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Me either

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] rock7632:
I can attest to that (the UPS limbo part)
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
You're a dolly Jeff! Just felt bad thinking about coming on here and complaining that my rma didn't show up when they said it would, meanwhile you and bears and bunch of others are still waiting on the phone from the 13th! At least I got the phone delivered. Meh....this can't go on forever, right? ;) Thanks doll!!!!

And I didn't want to mention my rma as to not bumm you guys out in case you needed to rma. I thought I'd spread out the misery :) let you guys get the phone then break it to you that if you needed to rma you'd be going through this again :)
[Nexus 4 General] relaxable:
UPS Tracking shows this order shipped.

Damn!

Now, I have to decide whether to have her refuse it, send it on to me, or hold it till I get there.

Anyone know how much the box for the 16gb N4 weighs as Google ships it? (rounded up to nearest pound if you don't know exact weight)
[Nexus 4 General] bsbtauldl1:
1.90 lb
[Nexus 4 General] BrothersFighting:
Me either LL2 from the 13th
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
I think several people said 1.1lbs.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] itpromike:
So I've ordered the phone but I'm tired of waiting and I'm thinking about just canceling. I've never had to wait like this just for something to ship or just to get a new device before; even for various iPhones and iPads when they had high demand at launch. I might just stick with my iPhone 5 and call it a day or get the One X+ although I don't like its chipset. :(
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Mine says "1.9"
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I hope this doesn't go on forever I do have a life to get back to ya know. J/k
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Nearly a month without my Nexus or info on it. Nov 13th and I still don't have my bloody phone, what an absolute joke!
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
1 16gb N4 - 1.1 lb

2 16gb N4 - 1.9 lb
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
Well it is near the END of the Day --- no charge to my account.....no word on Shipping. It seems my Nexus will not be delivered this week....yet again!

I am happy & sad to see there are still some 11/13 people still with me....only because it is mightly lonely at this stage.

I am really hoping Google is monitoring this thread. I can't see how difficult it would be to:

- identify the issue (Oh dear....a Pitch Fork Committee is forming...why oh why?)

- identify the people effected (you would think they could run a report by "Order date" and all status' that are not listed as "Completed" )

- alter the process for effected individuals so they receive shipment prior to new orders (If Santa can do next day delivery --- why can't Google)

Just a Friday afternoon 4th week without phone gripe
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
I know "hang in there" doesn't help, but I'm sure you'll be getting your phone soon. I just got shipping info for my nov 13 order today, you can't be too far behind now.
[Nexus 4 General] mournahan:
Added a new order, lets see what gets to me first, If I get them at the same time I will sell one. Lets see if there system is still a mess and I get the new one first!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Munchy! Are you crazy! 1.9 for 2? I bought 1 and that's my weight! Haaahaa! Crazy munchy!
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
That's awesome parelem congrats.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
You're in NYC? If the person that was supposed to take my 2nd 16GB falls through I'll sell to you at my cost. It might take me till next week though to make sure. Hang in there.
[Nexus 4 General] mugabuga:
Just got a departure scan. So damn excited. I've seen that the UPS store is open on Saturdays, if I call UPS up and have it go there instead will I be able to pick it up on Sat.?
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Lol dirty that's 1.09 which rounded up is 1.10 which is what ups cares about to the tenth. 2 is 1.9 I've seen people post screen pics. :D
[Nexus 4 General] mournahan:
If I get both should I refuse 1 or sell it here?
[Nexus 4 General] bsbtauldl1:
i would buy it!!! I can only afford face value though as I am still in limbo for 1
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
I work in Manhattan. Thanks for the offer. I will probably stick this out to the end on principle now. But if Google does something crazy like cancel my order and then say "sorry folks....no more" I may seek you out!

Congrats all who received a tracking # and see a light at the end of their tunnel!
[Nexus 4 General] mournahan:
Would only charge face value to anyone in here!!! Ive used this site since I had my Motorola backflip! never posted till this issue.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Whaaaaat? Really? So I forgot the .0, it's all the same thing if you think about it..... .09, .9... all the same :) Haaaahaa!

Fine munchy.... Sorry. Guess I'm the crazy one :) :)
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Ahh OK.. Same here.. The second one was just delivered today. My contact just said he got his tracking number for his so he's going to do that. Just let me know. You have $400 you can just cancel you order. I haven't even opened the package yet.

Edit: to be exact

395.21.. Haha..
[Nexus 4 General] bsbtauldl1:
well if you get it before me, let me know. I hope that doesnt happen though because I want mine ASAP!
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
you missed the 0 mam, it's 1.09 in your picture ..

crazy - me get crazy after having 6 beers ;) right now me be a sad panda at work :(
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
We like our dirty a Lil crazy its ok it just keeps you in line line with the rest of us crazies
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
It just goes to show you the great people on XDA that members reached out to help fix my situation BEFORE GOOGLE! I really hope they reach out to us to at least get our input or use the forums to help improve their process.

BTW -- I got to see a demo unit at a tmobile store....it was locked in a cabinet in a cardboard box with all their other demo phones....you could just see it sparkeling out of the bunch! Great Design!
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
we all need to be crazy else there would be no fun in life \m/
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Don't be sad munchy! It's Friday! It's Xmas time! You have a job! You have beer! Life is good! :)
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
We LL3 have to stick together.

If you want it I can hang out in midtown but not too late. You can open the cardboard box and test it first but I may need the play store invoice back depending on what personal info is there I don't recall.
[Nexus 4 General] rock7632:
if anyone can sell me one, please let me know. I never should have sold my Galaxy Nexus before I got the Nexus 4 and now its been 24 days since I've been in limbo
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Haaaahaaaa! We'll all be certifiable by the time Google is done with us.
[Nexus 4 General] exaybachay01:
Anyone in here a 11/27 2-3 weeker and buy @4:45pm or later PST? Trying to see if we are all in the same holding pattern, or if many/none has gotten shipping conformations. Trying to see if some 2-3 seekers issues are time or location based, I'm in Kansas and only still just pending on play store w/ order received by google 11/27 4:52pm PST.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
you feel bad when you get work at 4pm on a Friday,

but hell yeah , it's Friday, i got a job, I got a fridge full of a beer and a pony full of gas :)

don't try to come up with a pattern ..just look at the sky in the night and that's the pattern Google follows ...;)
[Nexus 4 General] bsbtauldl1:
I was 4:48 PST and got 1 16gb. my order shows pending and nothing else.
[Nexus 4 General] Firschi:
I ordered 2 Nexus 4 (8GB) on December 4th and received them both today! :angel:

Edit: I was told the shipping would take 4 to 5 weeks....
[Nexus 4 General] morejaylesswar:
The Nexus 4 feels so much like an iPhone release. It's hectic. I'm looking at eBay and the profit margin for this phone is RIDICULOUS. Even the bumpers are selling for a pretty penny.

Does this phone rival the iPhone in popularity, profit margin, and demand? I mean, look at us... We're all catching cabin fever in this thread waiting for our phones to ship. I feel like I've just over heard a ton of conversation while standing in line for the latest iPhone. Crazy.

(Judging by my sig, you can see that I've stood in line a lot... Glad to be making the switch.)

---------- Post added at 04:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------

Congrats. What was your estimated wait time?
[Nexus 4 General] thomas.clark:
Nothing here. I'm pretty sure nothing is going to happen either.

So I'm doing this: http://whereismynexus4.wordpress.com/ and sending a copy to Google Support.

I'll be happy to start posting details of confirmed Nov 13 orders still in Limbo. If I can get some support to help this take off, cool. If not, I more or less wash my hands of it.

Love for all yall in this thread,

Thomas
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Both the external speaker and the ear speaker? eh. The phone should work fine with bluetooth.

Well. Unless you have a my car, in which case the audio will drop randomly forcing you to switch to handset/speaker.

I'm fading some as the weeks drive on, but overall I'm maintaining! Here for the long haul until everyone gets their phones, even if I can't keep my eyes open.

Good job. Good effort. - Kid in stands.

That's me, 2-3 weeker, ordered 8:08:42 PM UTC-6. Sill no shipping info. Hoping for shipping next week.
[Nexus 4 General] mrhaddan:
Me! I'm in Washington. My Google play account shows preordered for my 11/27 order. I ordered again this morning and it showed preordered and now shows pending.

-------------------

Nexus 4 16GB. Ordered Nov. 27 @ 5:34 PM PST. 2-3 weeker. Confirmation email received. Just waiting.

2nd Nexus 4 16GB ordered 12/7/12 @ 7:44:24 am PST.

[Nexus 4 General] nellisere:
Wow! That's great news, what time did you order? Hoping that mine arrives soon
[Nexus 4 General] mugabuga:

[Nexus 4 General] Tyscott:
Got my Nexus 4 today!! It's wonderful.

Ordered 27th.

2-3 weeks.

Delivery took about a day.

What a horrible google shopping experience but I hope everyone pulls through.
[Nexus 4 General] remister:
I purchased mine at 4:34:09 PST 11/27, I was finally charged yesterday, but no shipping email of any kind. I seen some users post that had purchased around my time, that they have a shipping info already. The only difference I think is that I had purchased TWO. I am in Los Angeles, CA
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
Great site --- I just posted on it!

HEY 11/13 people Add a post to it!
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I'm sorry Tom I really am.

Edit: posted it to my Facebook maybe others should do the same and you can find more people with this problem. Maybe?
[Nexus 4 General] Macintoshian:
Congratulations Tyscott...It's very nice to here! I purchased mine on 27th nov (7:19pm, a 4-5 weeker), but still waiting... Goodluck with your phone Tyscott! Keep it safe, It is really hard to get another one from google :D.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Fact I would be sad if I had to be at work at 4pm, on any day of the week, not just Friday :/ If it makes you feel any better I'll be a sad panda at 4am when I have to get up to go to work, you'll be nice and warm, cozy, in your feety jammies :) with a butt flap, maybe? :)
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
I finally got my nexus 4 after 3+ long weeks the battle is over...

However the War is not... Since it was my Dec 5th order

I'm awaiting on my Nov 13th order to be cleared for shipping. Hopefully shipping by tonight, here by monday.

Saturday Shipment

Anyone else who got their order shipped out today expecting it to arrive tomorrow (Saturday). Does UPS deliver on Saturdays for 2nd Day Air? I hate waiting through the weekend to get my phone on a super busy Monday. Anyone know if there is a shot to get it tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] efan3719:
i went ahead and said screw it. i ordered another one just now. lets see which one ships first. if i get two i'll sell it to one of you guys....
[Nexus 4 General] terracode:
Ordered 12/27 @ 4:16PM. 2-3 weeker. Received shipping confirmation today, 12/7/12, with delivery on Monday, 12/10/12. Received cancelled N4 from TMobile yesterday and rejected package. TMoble then charged my card a second time today for an unknown device since TMobile has no record of it.
[Nexus 4 General] Arsenalfan:
I ordered at 8.28PM EST 11/27, so I'm in the same boat as you. What is worse is that I am actually in Louisville, KY. I could literally drive 15 mins and be in the UPS warehouse at the airport... oh the thoughts I'm having right now...
[Nexus 4 General] thomas.clark:
Going to do my best to keep up with this thread. However, now that so many from Nov 27 & Later are involved, I can't keep track. Not their fault, of course.

In the meantime, I think I'll only be able to manage PMs and any activity I can get at whereismynexus4.wordpress.com

Also, sorry to anyone who recently hit broken links; I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen anymore. /liveupdating /prematurelaunch

Yours truly,

the new one I ordered today show up twice on my play account, and only once on my wallet!!! Play store is still a mess. dont know if thats a good sign or bad for my second order!
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I'm pissed these things have such a loose acceptance rate. I went through a futile search for a good n7, gave up on getting a perfect screen n10 and will not accept a substandard n4. Im on my 3rd including my pending order for yesterday. Will probably get notification when dirty does. Is it too much to ask to not have bug light bleed spotlights and really uneven screen color? Have to admit the yellow on the bottom has evened out but its still washed out compared to the top half. I would actually accept that level of imperfection. Its more the light spots coming from the top bezel... One spot on my original and 2 larger ones on my second. Next time I will just return the phones I have and make a new order. I've found RMA stock to be completely inferior when purchased from the play store. Its the same with my n10... Nicest designed tablet, absolutely love it but the screen defect rate is unacceptable. People with 4 RMA and still can't get one without large spots of bleed. My replacement was absolutely hideous and I wouldn't have taken it for free. I settled on keeping the original but if I notice anything else I'm going to put in another RMA. Limbo level something for life I guess ;)
