it was cool because a bunch of people were getin stoked when they got their email and then that guy started posting that saturated ron paul picture with the words "it begins" or something like that, then the l3's woke up the next day to complete disappointment :good:
[Nexus 4 General] dmkozak:
Did you get any extras for the rest of us? Didn't your mom teach you to share?

Oh the "it's happening" meme....yeah, that was a sad morning
[Nexus 4 General] aSquard:
Whoever posted the article: http://blogs.computerworld.com/android/21389/google-nexus-4-launch-land-lost-opportunity

I commend you. It's about time someone in the tech world wrote a lengthy article about the fustercluck that was the Nexus 4 launch - hopefully other sites will start soon and push Google to give us some answers.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
This was just a test of the XDA Nexus Shipping Broadcast system. Had this been a real notification, posts of shipping emails would be abundant. Thank you.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Yeah, Angus, anus... one word change and you are saying what? You are comparing one word because it sounds like another to a whole page talking about hairy body parts and she males? Really?

As I said I don't mind is going off topic,I actually enjoy it but things were really going into the gutter. You sure showed me though but totally missed what I was saying.

Anyhow, I don't care.. It looks like there may be a little valuable information here and I am happy about that.

Not being facetious, gentlemen. Some of us got replies to old emails this morning saying that it would be 2 weeks until order fulfillment.

I asked for a clarification (as I got this email) and the CSR apologized for the confusion and said that the initial 3 week time-frame was accurate. My guess is they used an old scripted email from last week.
[Nexus 4 General] scarhill:
I ordered at 5:33 PM (Eastern) and have only received a single BO email.
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
4:55pm EST and i have only the single backorder email too
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
I couldnt take this anymore..So i sent him a nasty email.
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
No. Assume the majority of orders are LL3 (let's say 80%, for the sake of the argument), your shipping numbers would suggest that 40% of 80% available devices were shipped to LL3 (thing that I find hard to believe), while 60% of 20% available devices were shipped to LL1 and LL2. This means that many more devices were shipped to BO orders (LL3) than to LL2, LL3, which is not what seems to be the case and it would not make much sense. A more likely scenario where LL1 and LL2 got the majority of the shipping of very few devices (20%), while the vast majority (80% of the LL3, again, for the sake of the argument) didn't get much at all.

Bottom line: Google had X amount of devices to sell, and they all went to LL1 and LL2, with 8% to LL3. Let's assume a statistically even amount of devices shipped to all LL1, LL2 and LL3 (so each got X/3), It seems that LL3 people account for slightly more than 3 times LL1 or LL2.

Guys, do you remember at what hour were the shipping emails being sent last Monday?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
between 8:00pm EST and 10:00 PM EST
[Nexus 4 General] AmericanYakuza:
Agh this is giving me a headache. I can't believe we are all trying to figure out some pattern here when there probably is no method to their madness. 100% of blame goes to Google for not saying a damn thing and letting us come up with theories and rumors about when our phones will arrive. All I need is some sort of confirmation like: the boat is on its way, or we are dispersing the shipment now, or it's sitting in a warehouse. wtf

[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Probably the most honest responses from a CSR yet :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
I think you mean :good::good:

Btw, this was hilarious during the time the thread was flying. That and the "this thread is moving too damn fast" pic.

lol man, I'm just pulling your chain. In my defense, that "one word" was the difference between beef and butthole. If you can't be bothered to proofread, I can't be bothered to not act like a 10 year old. In any event, it was one of the best slips ever, Freudian or not. :) :)

Yeah, as you can see, I questioned my own math on that one. I will concede your point on the basis that I think the math is right, not based on the fact that I don't have the energy to discuss the details, although both are true. :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] harsubs:
My order was at 7:26 PM EST and got the BO email on 11/15 as well. I think the SOLD OUT went up about an hour or so after my order.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
True. At least they were honest for once.
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:

There is 11 min left so we will wait and see.
[Nexus 4 General] NICEGYPT:
I am actually waiting. If it doesn't show up at 12 am I am going to drink some coffee and go to sleep :D
[Nexus 4 General] jeeholim:
Nice try, not falling for that trick. You just want us to go sleep so you can order one easily.

Jokes aside, is there a source or proof?
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
Ouch. :(
[Nexus 4 General] juventuss:
I honestly think this thing is coming out midnight PST
[Nexus 4 General] Jimmy273:
Google didn't say it would be released at 12 Pacific Time, they just said the play store was based on Pacific time...
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
Pics/url or it didn't happen
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
It probably will and if it does so I will be asleep at the time. The Midnight EST thing determines whether or not I will finish my Bio or not.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
10 min/ black ops 2 and potentially nexus 4!
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
9 Minutes Left
[Nexus 4 General] Nickel Dime Bay:
Pretty sure its pacific time
[Nexus 4 General] Guster730:
I'm expecting 12 PST myself but I can wait 9 minutes just to be sure.
[Nexus 4 General] d_phekt:
If they don't let us order soon... we will just have to wait some more.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
I said bumper, not case. You are still considered the wise ass from pages ago.
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
i will include scissors so you can cut off the back part too, just $4 extra
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
The only obvious thing is that Google clearly misjudged their own expectations... If only they opened pre-orders, at least they would have had an idea about how much demand there would have been...

All you have to do is read the OP if you want all the up to date relevant information about what you are looking for in this thread. Do you really think a thread with 25000+ posts has relevant information in every post? There is no new info. We are keeping each other company while we wait this out. Chill out man. It's the internet. No need to get all riled up about a thread. The OP is doing a great job of weeding out any relevant info and keeping the 1st post up to date. Sooooo.....just read that and stay out of our conversation.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Right, I think we would be very happy to cancel and re order.

My 13 yr old nephew says butt hurt a lot. I don't hear too many adults say it though. lol

I do believe we will have our phones before they ship any new orders but then again I also trusted that Google was going to be prepared for this launch.

It's possible it will, it's possible that it won't. No different than any of the other emails really.

[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
So much false information in the last few pages.

Orders shipped last week between 8pm EST and Midnight EST. Yes, Midnight.

There has been no second wave of backorder emails. I don't even know where this sprouted from.
[Nexus 4 General] jvanassche:
The ordering system was somewhat automated based on the amount of stock available. So the entire stock sold out in the first hour, then as those orders were processed, some were invalidated either due to software errors or order errors (invalid cards, etc.), and the stock that was allocated to these invalidated orders were returned to the system.

Now, the order validation process was much slower than the ordering system, so you would see windows of opportunity pop up throughout the day were it looked like the phone was back in stock as the order validation system said it had stock available again. However, there was no feedback between the ordering system and the validation system, so even though all the stock was sold, when the validation system put a phone back in stock, the ordering system didn't check to see if it had been oversold--it assumed it was new stock, so it opened up and allowed a new order.

So, let's look at some hypothetical orders

At 0830, ten phones go up for sale and are immediately sold (1 phone per order, for simplicity). Due to order flooding, the order system actually lets orders in for 12 phones. The phone is now 20% oversold.

At 0835, two of those ten orders get invalidated, so the validation system tells the order system that it has two more phones available for sale. The order system doesn't think to check if it has oversold and thereby allocate those phones to oversold orders, so it makes the phones available for sale again. Phone currently 0% oversold, but two orders are not fulfilled, so in reality it is 20% oversold.

At 0836, as the two phones that failed validation go up for sale again, the order system is flooded again, and four orders get through.

This process repeats itself several times throughout the day, making the problem even worse each time until someone at Google gets a handle on things and manually marks the device out of stock, stopping new orders even if the system thinks there is stock.

[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
The only other thing to add here is that last Monday at this time we were starting to get the same story from several CSRs that phones were being packed and shipping notices would go out later that night.
[Nexus 4 General] androidi10:
That is right. The start is acurate I think. However, I remember reading some people posting near midnight about getting shipping emails minutes before their posts.

It is two hours until 7 pm EST. Do it tonight google for God's sake.
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
It's like how YouTube views are supposed to freeze in order to prevent view bots. The view count is supposed to be frozen at certain intervals (like at 300) but popular videos often get multiple views instantaneously so the view count ends up freezing at 301 or 303, etc.

[Nexus 4 General] raycpe:
They aren't outsourced, but the shipping is. There is no data link between the CSRs and the UPS Logistics office in KY. They receive tracking numbers via a data dump from UPS. That is why we see the shipping confirmations in waves. It looks as though Google hasn't been getting these dumps until later in the evenings, hence the Shipping notices from last monday going out around 8 EST. So one could hope that there would be a data dump later this evening, and we will see another wave going out.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Unpossible.

Since the beginning, this thread has been a place to complain and commiserate. The spirit of the thread is much more along the lines of [Official] Play Store lack of orders and lack of shipping and lack of general information about either thread!

As a result, it went off topic as people try to lighten the mood of 1.3 million complaining views. Almost all of the useful info has been compiled into the OP (from what I'm told, been days since I looked at it), and thus, the thread exist as a place to check in on the topics in the thread title, make a comment to let the other posters know we are still here, then look around to see if anyone is getting any useful info.

If anyone doesn't like a post, then go ahead and report it for being off-topic. Who gives a **** who gives a **** if the whole damn thing gets locked right now? I just want my phone, and this thread exists for entertainment use only until more information becomes available.

P.S. - if XDA get's ad revenue and clicks out of it, I'm sure they are loving the views, OT or not.

No real updates on the situation, so the post went off-topic. People got mad about the thread being off-topic (despite the inexistence of a material to keep the thread on-topic).

I think that about covers it.
