Okay ima take a pic and show you. You basically slide the brightness over then got auto. This places it at a percentage close to what you have selected. Then it tries to perform auto brightness functions.
[Nexus 4 General] espionage724:
Have you tried calling or leaving a note to possibly tell UPS to leave the package somewhere safe on your property?

Also I wish my packages were delivered early in the morning... UPS always comes to my place in late-afternoon lol
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Exactly like what Sony did to their Xperias, which I really hate.

It is quite pointless to set a base brightness and then auto brightness on top of that. If I want auto, I want full auto according to the light sensor.
[Nexus 4 General] Harry Pothead:
While that may be, you can get it only in the UK, Germany, France and Spain. Hence, the hardcore nerds from other countries will buy it via friends and relatives they have in the "play store countries". I hope Google has factored that into the equation...
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
In my experience auto lightning never gets it quite right. The dim is to dim, I think I'll rather like this base brightness thing. As it is I'm running a custom ROM with brightness control linked to a gesture across the notification bar, love it.
[Nexus 4 General] Mikulec:
Its not pointless, its briliant. U can set the minimum level of autobrightnes and that is perfect.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
That's not auto brightness.

If I go to an environment which is darker than my set brightness level, I have to go in settings and re-adjust.

After I get out from that environment, I have to re-adjust it again to suit the brighter environment.

I can tell you never used this kind of auto-manual brightness.

---------- Post added at 11:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 AM ----------

Again you never used it. I used it and I really hate it.
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
The other day they came 3 times in a row at ~11AM. Now there are no lights at these times which should tell the delivery person that maybe no one is present, but nooo they insisted on coming back at that time. Anyway I guess I'll try leaving a note this time for the person.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
What I would really prefer with the brightness slider and auto brightness, is the slider acts as some brightness ADDED ON TOP of the auto brightness algorithm.

So if the auto brightness is too dark for you, you move the slider up to add a certain percentage of brightness on top. Vice versa.

Using slider for a base brightness is NEVER a good idea.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
So you want what the iPhone has?
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
Auto brightness and slider brightness are independent of each other. You can't use both at the same time.

Can't wait to get my order in. I know I have all day to place the order but I really want to do it ASAP to put my mind at ease.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Same here bud!
[Nexus 4 General] karendar:
So sell your Android phone and buy an iphone. ;) hehe
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Lol **ck that. He just said it couldn't be done but I know thats how apple's auto brightness works. I would never buy an iphone, how dare you even speak of it!
[Nexus 4 General] CaspaTheGhost:
We be repping.

Coverage has been minimal which is good, it'll keep that intrigue and wow factor going for a moment.

I'm so looking forward to it, loving the 4.2 keyboard on my Gnex at the moment so excited about full 4.2 with that oh so lovely hardware!

Well that's just stupid then. I ordered mine on 8:34 AM PST Tuesday and I still have yet to receive any email from Google, although my order still shows up as pending in google wallet and estimated shipping date as today (nov 15) in google play.... :confused:

How can I get a micro sim card from T-Mobile? I'm already a client there.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
This post looks familiar... ;)

I have UPS My Choice, so when a package is en route to my address I get notified by UPS. Nothing headed my way yet.
[Nexus 4 General] tengen:
You should just be able to walk into a T-Mobile store and ask for one.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Have you tried going to a store and asking for one? That's what I did at AT&T and they just handed it over no problem.
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Its like 5 bucks. I had one with my One S... And I still have it! Just pop it in and Go.

I see another fellow Chicagoan. What time did you place your order? (Sorry if you've already posted this numerous times, just curious)
[Nexus 4 General] wcdude18:
I called one of my local stores, and they told me they don't have any micro-SIMS in stock. BUT, they do have a SIM cutter, and would be happy to chop my SIM for me. Ordered a SIM adapter so I could use it with my current phone in the meantime.
[Nexus 4 General] phoneman09:
I called again to Google, and she said there is a "glitch" in the system. I am not sure what that means exactly. She said that I am being forwarded to a specialist to see what can be done. Which is more likely nothing. I am still not sure why its pending yet the money has been taken out of my account. She said that they are not taking orders at random but I am not sure I believe that.

Well....

Just got off the phone with Google, tracking email will come before close of business today, it will be delivered within a week.... yes, I did say week... So I will wait... I have the option to cancel of course, but I won't. My Comet can hopefully last another week, lol !
[Nexus 4 General] ruthlesset:
I called them and they mailed one for free. From what I've heard, some stores charge for the micro sim.
[Nexus 4 General] DrunkFuX666:
Can anyone confirm how many phones a single person can buy...? I was reading somewher that Google has also put a limitation on how many you can order like apple does on their factory unlocked phones... They said also limited to 2 per head... Can anyone confirm...? Cuz I need 3 for my brother and sister and not sure I'll even be able to do it off the same card...

Also anyone have any clue when the phone will be in stock again... :(

that was my first and last order from google play.

**** you google!!

several people from germany got it aswell.

greetz from GER
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I was afraid of this. I was told the same today and the rep said they will send out backorder emails tomorrow to us "glitchy" people >.>

I guess I'll find out tomorrow if I have to cancel this order or not.

Never again, Google, never again.

**** your playstore!

[Nexus 4 General] angrymachines:
Just spoke with a nice gentleman at Google Play using the number provided in the email I received when I ordered. We shared a laugh over my username ("carpetcarpetcarpet"), it's always pretty awkward whenever I have to give that out, I should probably change it. Anyway, he said that I should be receiving tracking information later today and my device will be at my house by tomorrow (Friday) or Monday at the latest. I'm hoping he's correct but judging from the other interactions with Google Play Support, who knows.
[Nexus 4 General] mchimney:
Just called support. After spending 5 mins telling the women my name I got the same usual bs response. 1-2 days for processing. 1-2 days for shipping. She then said that the shipping could show up as late as Monday night
[Nexus 4 General] UCFJake:
When I ordered my two, the drop down menu went up to 5. Hope that helps!

I really wish t mo sold them for 350 off contract

Also i was told if your already on t mo you can just trade your sim for a micro Sim
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Hello sir :D

Placed my order at 11:58/13th

Screen shows pending but confirmed with a rep over phone, that it shipped. Arriving 17th or 19th
[Nexus 4 General] pandamaja:
You realize this is 2 days transit time. i.e. once it ships, its two days.
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
Just got off the phone with a lady from Google.

She said that I should receive tracking information either by close today or tomorrow morning, but that it is getting shipped today.

Meh.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
@Those who's status is 'Pending' and have been charged: Has the transaction appeared in your online statement? And have you received the phone?
[Nexus 4 General] ATGAdmin:
I just spoke with Josh, then James (supervisor) at Google Play, they told me that my order wouldn't be shipped until sometime next week. I told him that I'd be out of town when it got here, and if they weren't going to keep their word on when they would actually ship, just to cancel my order...screw Google, and screw Nexus! lol

Someone should be able to place an order for a phone soon, now that mine's been released.

I'll pick up the Note II tomorrow.

Have fun guys!!

;)
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
Awesome.
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
Still pending but its actually shipped.

Charged on my CC already. A dollar for who knows what and the cost for the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] phoneman09:
Are you serious, they are sending out back order emails? The rep I talked to never said that to me. This makes me really upset now. I seriously don't see why its worth buying anything from the Google Play Store as far as devices go. There is no reason why I am part of the "glitchy" group I ordered within 15 min of release. Come on.
[Nexus 4 General] soulz:
I'm putting back all the tables. ┬─┬ノ( º _ ºノ)
[Nexus 4 General] flipao:
Just got an email from Google saying mine has been backordered, up to a 3 week wait for me it seems.

It sucks but tbh I'm not surprised, I know people will be mad but come on, it's a 500 quid phone at almost half price, gotta take the good with the bad.
[Nexus 4 General] angrymachines:
I probably lucked out on getting someone on the phone in about five seconds and having him completely understand what I was saying. I'd like to think he wouldn't relay false information to me but you never know :/

Anyway, I received this email after making the call:

Odd that "Google" isn't capitalized.
[Nexus 4 General] mchimney:
Can we see email?
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Has anyone posted an actual screencap of this email yet?

[Nexus 4 General] PhilipL:
Hi

UK here ordered 8GByte, friend received their phone today having an order timed 10 minutes after mine. I've just received an email saying it is on backorder and can cancel or wait 3 weeks.

If I wait they will credit the shipping charges.

Full text of the email:

[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Well this pretty much confirms backorder.

Get ready for those emails coming in tomorrow giving you the middle finger.

Only 12 hours left until the "shipping November 15th" status pisses me off if nothing happens

However, I just received this from Google:
[Nexus 4 General] Ranguvar:
No shipping email yet, I ordered at around 12:55pm EST (Rochester, New York).

My order said shipping on the 15th, still pending.

Called Google and they just said that they had a ton of orders and it was taking a while to process them all, I should get a tracking number tonight.

Really? backorder? that's ridiculous!

I mean, I know you're not in the US... but still. I would sooo ragequit if that happened to US order(s) too!

[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
I'll just wait a bit then. I don't even want to open my Gmail inbox now. I'm afraid of that backorder email. I am leaving the US in 2 week's time. There is no way I'm getting it if it's been delayed by 3 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] unkn0wnz:
OK now im worried, all these people that got the back order notice on the day they were supposed to be shipped out that's just the perfect icing on the cake....I still haven't received tracking info so im extremely worried now...
[Nexus 4 General] :
Just had the same e-mail. UK here.

Absolutely gutted. I literally just got off the phone (before the e-mail) and I specifically asked the rep if the phone would get back-ordered to which he said 'no, as you can imagine we are having to process a lot of devices so it should only take one more day before it is shipped'.

Either he didn't know or he lied. Either way, that is devastating news and I am down £300 with nothing to show for it :(
[Nexus 4 General] akkiman:
I just got off the phone with bank. They said that the payment is authorized but the Merchant (Google) hasn't claimed the amount yet.

And now I read these backorder emails. I haven't received any emails from google yet.

I'm not wondering what I should do next. I'll probably wait for a day to get some sort of an update.
[Nexus 4 General] david4533:
Has anyone in the states gotten a backorder email?
[Nexus 4 General] Fr33L4nc3r:

[Nexus 4 General] KentuckyHouse:
FYI, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned yet or not (since this thread moves so fast), but if you've got tracking info and it's showing that your phone is in Kentucky, that's because UPS's main hub is located in Louisville. i.e. most if not all of these phones are going to go through that hub (so at some point, they're going to show they're in Kentucky).
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
For those of you with no dispatch email, you're NOT GOING TO GET THE PHONE.
