What I did was call Google thursday, after that conversation he sent me an email, in the email it says to communicate with him just reply to the email, which I've been doing since Thursday....he has answered me every time I sent an email with hours. The only time he took 2 days was when I sent him a reply on Sunday, he answered me this morning. I think that's your best bet in getting in touch with them.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Nope you're not getting your phone for free. They'll charge your card in the coming days.

Phone out for delivery.

I'll let you know. Mine should arrive any minute now, unless UPS guy is super busy today.

Well you are lucky because mine missed the flight and won't be getting it until tomorrow.

I just called up one of the T-Mobile locations around me and they do have some Nexus 4 in stock. Dude said its $500 but they won't sell the phone individually unless you activate it with a plan SMH.
[Nexus 4 General] loomism2:
I would say if they have completely sold out then it went much better than they had anticipated. They can't make money on phones that don't exist!
[Nexus 4 General] thetacoking2:
When did you order it? I ordered mine at 12 CST
[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
Rumor is that WHITE Nexus4's are on the way

This is a GOOD thing. I don't want a white one but that seems to show that a huge load of MORE devices (in white) are on their way.

That can only help things. I don't care if I get a white or black one. I just WANT one!
[Nexus 4 General] intel8052:
HIGHLY doubt that they hit a UPS limit... if anything I'd say it was either A) they ran out of devices or B) ran out of time in the day to ship the devices.

Well amazon does ship from multiple warehouses... Seems like everything's going out of one warehouse or shipping facility for these devices so there is some level of "you can only do so much in a day" that has to be taken into consideration.

I find it far easier to call in the morning before work. I've called a few times now and always get someone who sounds annoyed and who barely wants to help me when I called at night (plus a 10+ minute wait). Called in this morning and got a pleasant CSR with no wait at all.

Now this sounds delusional. haha. HIGHLY doubt that will happen, probably just that the charge has to be re-applied due to aging in the bank's system.
[Nexus 4 General] sublimnl:
I seriously doubt UPS is the cause of these delays. They definitely have the resources to handle a single product launch. Its not even really Christmas season yet so you know they have spare cycles available to handle this small blip in demand.
[Nexus 4 General] vipeezy:
Wow!! Same here. I am in Bay Area, and ordered mine last week on Tuesday at same time, 833am. Lol. On truck for delivery as well. Man, UPS is fast!
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
But... But... The black ones run faster! :p
[Nexus 4 General] loomism2:
If he's a troll, then he is a troll that has been right. That's a pretty rare combination.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Yeah but rumour is it's just the back that would be white....that's stupid. White phone should be the face as well.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
Go in and ask for his district managers number. He is full of sh1t. The point of a unlocked phone is avoiding contacts and if he won't order from t mo online
[Nexus 4 General] ksocoolwitit:
Whats the point of T-Mobile selling this phone for $500 off-contract when retailers tell you can't buy the phone itself unless you add a plan to it?
[Nexus 4 General] pandamaja:
I'm sure it will post tonight.
[Nexus 4 General] illmaticone:
FWIW - CSR rep just told me it it should go out today or tomorrow - and i stated i hear this everyday - however they got an 'offical' notice today stating that.

Agreed. Blackface is best left back in the 1800s.
[Nexus 4 General] Chief_rawka:
came home to my phones was limbo 2 ordered at 1039 cst 2 16 gb. I would love to say this thread has been fun, but you all know it hasn't see you around the forum. oh.. I'm keeping my limbo sig too.:highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] PAulyhoffman:
And did you recieve a BO email?
[Nexus 4 General] aSquard:
Done and done! :good:

No. No prices. just quantity ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] mitchdickson:
Feeling so exhausted from being in Limbo 3.

In law school and should be studying for exams, but I keep checking this thread...
[Nexus 4 General] netsyd:
I'd just like to show Google how it should be done... My order from TrainSignal today. No sign of limbo anywhere to be found.
[Nexus 4 General] illmaticone:
NO i'm Level 2
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
That level 2/3 Google Doc form.. if people could use 24 hour time notation we could sort on that row... such as 00:00 thru 23:59

And not put any extraneous text like EST (it's implied) or AM/PM...
[Nexus 4 General] vipeezy:
oh sorry to hear that, I'm sure anxiety is through the roof. I was not even expecting the shipping email last night...
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
No, it has customer info and phone info (serial #) but no prices.
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
Unfortunately once submitted you cannot change it. Besides the form should be more clear on that.
[Nexus 4 General] Novi84:
Mine has shown no less than 3 'Late airplane'-messages today, but at least it's moving. This I can track and be informed on - Google's order system gave no info...ever.
[Nexus 4 General] nexo85:
Am I the only person checking this thread 20 times per hour, 16 hours per day? FML. I cant concentrate without thinking that an incoming email is a shipping notification. My brain is malfunctioning in Limbo Level 3.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Is it in your town? As I indicated before, I talked to a UPS CSR and she told me that mine, which also has "Late airplane" notices, is still due to be delivered today.

Take that for what you will; I really don't expect it to be delivered today but you might call (1-800-PICK-UPS) and ask.
[Nexus 4 General] kingnaldo28:
this make me laugh
[Nexus 4 General] pertelotte:
I'm right here with you brotha. I'm getting a lot of notifications for other **** today.
[Nexus 4 General] Gloularis:
Can someone who has received his/her Nexus 4 please check what is the production date?
[Nexus 4 General] gary1203:
The ones with status like the one in Roxy's signature on the other hand is just screwed right?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Yeah, the sheet could be setup to format the date in that fashion for those cells instead of being a free-form text. Doesn't matter in the end I suppose :)
[Nexus 4 General] TwinkyOfHope:
No

I am doing the same bud!
[Nexus 4 General] miasma:
Yes, good idea...
[Nexus 4 General] deestroi66:
There is no definite answer as to when we might get it but 3 weeks is the most time.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
My assumption would be that if it says it's still in Kentucky that it won't be here until tomorrow. Truthfully I imagine that mine won't be either; I'm just relaying what I was told most recently. :eek:

I just got a reply to a message I sent on saturday:

Thank you for contacting us. I understand that you have questions regarding your order. I understand that this issue can be important. I will be happy to help you today.

I have checked your order and it looks like your order is stuck in chargeable. I have sent your account to a specialist and you will be contacted soon.

Stuck in chargeable? I call BS.

How do you know he didn't buy them from T-Mobile?

my phone was delivered but my order is still pending. Google doesnt want to take my money lol. Whats wrong with them? How about i withdraw all my money out of my debit card now? :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
Dammit. Looks like I'm going to take to day drinking when I get off work to make them time go a little more easily. And my drinking buddies here are leaving. I think I'm getting closer to alcoholism. :p
[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
I think that someone is going to come out with an aftermarket back soon enough. They will be cracking left and right and people are going to want to replace them.

Are the wires for the Qi charger actually IN the back or is the pick-up just behind it?

Even if the wires are in it that that shouldn't be too big of a deal. People are already making Qi backs for non-Qi phones. I think the back is going to be a non-issue and people can buy whatever back they want for the Nexus4 soon. Any phone that has had big sucess will have tons of accessories made for them and the Nexus4 will have high sales. New backs will be available -and after a while they will be cheap on Amazon (around $10.)

Anyone who wouldn't buy the Nexus 4 because of the glass black is like someone not buying a new car because they don't like the brand of tires it comes with from the dealer. It's easily changed.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Well, if what I think happened is true, then it's still really Google's fault. If at the last second they made a bunch of orders overnight air to get them here today, some might have missed the planes before they took off for the regional distribution centers.

I'm thinking that mine is sitting in a center in San Antonio but missed the truck; UPS won't let me go pick it up though. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] akkiman:
Level 3 limbo, but I still called google play support for the heck of it ;)

So I speak to a rep called Sarah and she asked me for my order number and wanted to know if I received a BO email.

Of course I lied ;) .. Then she goes ahead and tells me that my order is being processed and I should receive a shipping number by the end of the day today and that the phone would be shipped by tomorrow. This is something that she heard is an official statement.

I wonder what she would have said if I'd said that I received a BO email.

Eitherways.. I have given up hope.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Got this answer yesterday from them as well

[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Woohoo peoples!!! My phone just arrived!

Tis premium handset o_o

Oh and no invoice just a packing slip.
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
I got the same answer two days ago (L3 myself): I didn't lie, I just wasn't asked about the BO email. Besides, you shouldn't expect the truth if you were not honest yourself in first place.
[Nexus 4 General] Datsun.510:
I think some of us owes Google an apology, including I.

We ordered the 13th. Even though I hardly got any updates on my purchase other than the initial confirmation email. They did tell us to wait for the shipping confirmation

email. What do we do? Yes WE! All of us! We bomb them with calls and emails to make not only our time harder but everyones job harder.

Lets face it. This phone is HOT. Not just in specs or in looks, but in demand.

The demand we caused, set Google a little back... but not by very much.

Today my phone was delivered (I'm still at work so dont have it yet). It took exactly 7 days for me to receive it, without counting the weekend, it took 5 business days. Didn't Google say 3 to 5 business days? Yes they did!!

In top of that, to make their customers happy, I got mine shipped UPS Next Day Air. The cost of that service for a regular customer is $77.15 USD with a Billable Weight of 2.0 lbs and insurance for $700 (2 16gb phones). I'm sure Google didn't have to pay that much since they have an account, but I'm sure it was still a lot.

So lets face it. We fukced up for not being patient. 5 business days is all it took. Unless yours is truly BO, then you will get your phone very soon.

Make friends, make love, and make peace. Don't make war.

Take this as a learning lesson. Patience is a virtue.

[Nexus 4 General] intel8052:
One plus of all this is that at least I'll have a skin for my phone when I get it.

I placed an order for a Skinomi TechSkin a while back figuring I'll throw that on the phone until something better comes along, but the skin wasn't supposed to release until today and thought I'd have to be super careful with the phone until my skin showed up.

Just got my shipment notification for the skin... so at least there's that. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] ksocoolwitit:
I'm not owing anyone an apology

[Nexus 4 General] radlink14:
wish I hadn't cancelled my order :( placed it with t-mobile and it's backordered now :(
[Nexus 4 General] lskeys:
Limbo 8 here. Order 5.08 Central Time. Tried to order about 11:45. Made about 3 attemps. Just kept getting errors when I hit submit. Had to get back to work. Could not order until later that day. Would have missed out all together if I did not check the Verge and see how to order using f-5. Also, got the BO email on the 15th. Talked to Google this morning. They just lie. Asked to speak to a supervisor. He said I was back ordered. Had to wait 3 weeks. When I told him that it was suppose to be 3 weeks from the 15, he said two weeks and two days. ha.ha.ha. I asked to cancel and he said I had to do it within an hour after the order. Well, I told him I would do a credit card dispute. He informed me that if I did I would have my whole google account cancelled. Told him to **** him and **** google. Working now on a Better Business Complaint. Usually someone calls you back the next day when you complain to the bbb.org. As I see this is a contract. Offer by google, acceptance by me, and consideration(payment by credit card). All the elements of a contract. And their follow up email said ship 3 to5 days. I.E, Nov. 15, 2012. Even though I am in level 8. I should get a call tomorrow from someone in Google to resolve this matter. Companies hate bbb.or complaints.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
First of all, let's not forget the fact that there are lots of people still in this thread that are being told they have to wait three weeks even though they got the same order confirmation emails that we all did. I wouldn't be so quick to let Google off the hook for that alone; broaden your perspective beyond your own limited experience.

Google remained silent in the face of several issues, not limited to why people were randomly getting phones while others who had ordered earlier than they had were being left out in the cold. In the face of the technical issues that took place during the ordering process, it's not hard to understand why some of us were then concerned that our orders hadn't gone through properly. I was told personally that my order had "glitched"...was I supposed to hang up and take on blind faith that despite this I would be getting my order by Tuesday?

Google has a reputation for bad hardware launches, so we had no reason to give them the benefit of the doubt.

I'm glad you got your phone; enjoy it. Don't come in here and proselytize the virtues of Google to people who have been left out in the cold by them.
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
Give me a break. Had your phone not been delivered you would still be just as pissed. Feel free to go apologize to Google and never return to this thread.

Ive yet to see any UK orders get updated,

No change of dates, none shipped - no answers to when, nothing.

At least there is quite a bit of activity in the states.

No worries. Sorry I wasn't trying to come off like a critical a-hole. :) I was just interested in sorting by order time. I understand that doesn't even matter anyway it's more by CC auth time? I don't even know anymore what is driving it.

Ordered a 16gb and bumper. Phone arrived this morning. No communication or updates at all regarding the bumper.

i wasnt gunna bother with the nexus 4 as i loved my nexus, untill it got run over yesterday -_- now the nexus 4 is out of stock in uk, anyone know when itll be back? or do i just need to keep checking

this sucks not having a phone lol
[Nexus 4 General] MauriceZ:
This guy :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Let us know how you like the bumper. I've handled the phone and it does seem a little slippery. I really think I'll ty the bumper when I can get one.
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
No. I ordered a phone that was "available on stock". I got a note saying that it has estimate delivery of the 15th. I got the BO email. That's it. You don't process an order for something you cannot sell. You don't play tricks like changing the date of the order with no further info. The total lack of transparency is what disappoints me the most. This is not Apple and their secrecy, Google claims to be an open company. It isn't. A more forthcoming approach from Google in the form of an email at least apologizing and offering at least an explanation of the way they are processing orders would have gone a long way (and clearly offering a refund for the shipping expenses as the two-day shipping from the ordering date is long past). I don't have grips with the actual delay, but with the lack of communication and confusion that was created, plenty of fake promises, no apologizes.
[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
Then they go and censor the #whereismynexus4 hashtag on G+ so they can save themselves a little face for crapping on all of us and silencing our complaints.

That is #lame as hell.
[Nexus 4 General] akkiman:
Thank you for contacting Google Play

If you ordered on 11/13 and you did not receive a back order notification email, your order is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. If you haven't already received a shipping confirmation email that contains the tracking number, you should receive one by end of day today. However, please note that it can take up to 1 business day for the tracking number to be activated. Rest assured that once you receive your ship confirmation email with your tracking number, it is in the process of shipping for an estimated arrival of Tuesday, Nov. 20.

Hahaha .. so much for lying. Looks like I will receive the phone in 2 weeks.

If you think I'll ever be offering a mega corporation any sort of apology you live in a dimension full of delusions. You can apologize all you want and send them a Hallmark card too if you want.

And yeah if you didn't get your phone you'd be crying with the rest of us.
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
I appreciate what your saying, but I'm still incredibly pissed. I ordered at 8:50am PST, 20 mins after it went live as the Play Store said they were in stock. Received confirmation email at 9:25am PST. Somewhere around 10am PST I'm told my card is declined even though I have the funds. I tell it to try my card again to be told its declined...again. Once more I tell it to try and then it finally ends up working. According to a CSR this happens sometimes. I get the B.O email on the 15th. Am I to be royally screwed over because Google ****ed up with my card? Why did they not sort out the placement of my order between the 13th and the ****ing 19th when everyone else in this time-frame was getting shipping confirmation?

It's so frustrating because I waited for the phone to go live as early as I could and when it finally does I'm screwed over because a glitch on Google's side. :(
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
What a crock of ****. The CSR I spoke with was very nice, honest and understanding. I referenced "Limbo" and she said, "You've been browsing the XDA forums". That gave me a laugh. I've wasted precious life minutes calling the customer support and now I think it's time to just give up and wait for the phone to get here. The reason I'm posting this is this little line here:

I've heard CSR's mention this "pushed through processing" before but she mentioned "lines" that she sees that shows attempts to change from chargeable to "Complete". She says that this happened a few times yesterday just before the shipping emails went out and now they've tried a couple of more times today. Don't know what to make of it, probably nothing and just more false hope.

So no, I don't think most of us owe Google an apology, they still went through this whole purchasing and selling the wrong way. :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] JNewms:
But if it wasn't for all of us letting them know how close to truly out if hand it was it could have been much longer. And there are still plenty of our limbo friends without phones out any info. Google still needs to step their game up for them.
