Orlando, FL here....November 13, 2012 11:50:57 AM UTC-5 ordered.

JUST received my tracking number.

Hang in there guys, Google will come thru...
[Nexus 4 General] s1lenz:
-ordered an 8GB at 10:37 PST

-Got the confirmation email 15 minutes later

-Play Store said completed (no shipping estimate of 11/15)

-Google Wallet said Pending

-Bank was charged

-Got not Backorder Email

-Never called CS

-Got tracking # this morning

For those of you that ordered 2 hours before me and didn't get your phone... I am so so sorry... but not really....:victory:
[Nexus 4 General] mchimney:
My 16 got confirmation of shipping no 8 though
[Nexus 4 General] boogieroc:
NO LONGER IN LIMBO! Weird this is that it say shipping label was created 11/14 so I'm guessing it was a email system error. I was just about to cancel
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
All I got in the email was a slick deals ad, and a clueless CSR telling me he's not "100% positive" >.>

I am not 100% positive but your device may be on back order, which the email that google will be sending out is;

An update on your Nexus 4 Google Play order

We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you again for your order.

Why the **** won't they just ship it already?

If this is because of that check box...
[Nexus 4 General] Guster730:
I've still got nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Glad for those that are finally getting something.

If you were in limbo and are getting tracking numbers now, what do your Play Store and Wallet accounts look like? Any changes?
[Nexus 4 General] chlehqls:
Nothing yet. But assuming I'll at least get some sort of e-mail today whether that be backordered or shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] mobilehavoc:
Got shipping confirmation just now and label says it's been created yesterday. No tracking or delivery info yet. Looks like it should be here by Tuesday at this point.
[Nexus 4 General] d_phekt:
Ohhh! It looks like good things are happening. People are starting to get shipping info!! Still have some hope here.
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
Did you get the BO email yesterday?
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
I Can't wait anymore I'm going to T-mobile today and getting me one I have one on oder I haven't received a backorder email so that means I should get it soon anyone wanna buy it? $450 plus shipping I could do UPS if anyone is interested email me ibishuerta at gmail dot come
[Nexus 4 General] lnfound:
You get shipping from Google, or should.

And honestly, what huge overnight demand. Do you have any idea how big UPS is or the capacity of the Louisville hub. UPS handles many large merchants including amazon not to mention public.

Anything Google gave them flew through their hub and organized just like everything else. Theres clearly not that much stock
[Nexus 4 General] silverbladef:
So for the people who are getting theirs shipped today, who's demanding the shipping fee refund?
[Nexus 4 General] advil0:
To those that are just now getting tracking, what is on your bank account? Is it still pending over there? Has the charge disappeared? Has it been finally posted?
[Nexus 4 General] megapixle:
Still in limbo here, ordered at 8:35
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
Still in limbo...07:43 PST... Still no email for tracking. *sigh*...I'll just check later on in the day..screw it.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Just now you get this email? AS IN RIGHT NOW.
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
+1
[Nexus 4 General] wberry85:
Just received shipping email! Ordered an 8GB at around 1:35 PM EST.

This is the first email I have received since the initial purchase email. Google Play store said Complete and Wallet said pending.
[Nexus 4 General] cbutters:
I just got a shipped notification!

I ordered 5 8gb and 5 16gb.... All separate orders.

Just got confirmation for one of those 8gb... status changed in google wallet to complete instead of pending just for the one order. The tracking number doesn't pull up in UPS yet.
[Nexus 4 General] boogieroc:
About 2 min ago yes
[Nexus 4 General] silverbladef:
My wallet says shipped and completed, play store says shipped, but it's still pending on my debit card. But again it's not the only transaction pending on there.
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
What really sucks is that it's going to be at least 3 weeks to get a device if you are on the back ordered list and maybe a month and a half for all the other ppl witch kinda sucks as all I was able to order was an 8GB when I really wanted a 16GB but now realistically thinking I'm looking at at least 2 months before I can order one and get it someone quick
[Nexus 4 General] chrysamere:
Considering the maximum quoted time is 5 business days from placing an order, we really shouldn't be demanding anything until next tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] ketonkss4:
Im happy for you, and the rest of you guys who get shipping confirmation BUT im ****ing pissed off at google who is telling me it is a first come first serve basis even though I ordered before them!:mad:
[Nexus 4 General] machu124:
I'm thinking the same thing. I ordered about 20 minutes after you and I'm getting it delivered to Cambridge, but I DID get a BO email. I'd assume asking them to link your account to your device would delay it at least a day or two, especially at launch.
[Nexus 4 General] Ricamed:
Hello guys, there's still hope for team limbo!!

5 minutes ago I was in limbo, even the charge on my bank account disappeared but I just got the tracking number!!!

Status in Google play changed to shipped also...

:D
[Nexus 4 General] d_phekt:
Are all the recent shipping emails coming from Google themselves or from UPS MyChoice?
[Nexus 4 General] Datsun.510:
Ordered 2 16gb phones on 8:44am PST. For the fiance and I.

Recevied confirmation email on 10:15am PST.

Wallet has been in "Pending".

Play store says "Pre-ordered".

Called them and they said everything looks good and that it should ship out soon.

I emailed them and they responded that it will ship out the 15th.

I haven't received the BO email yet.

Hopefully today I'll get a tracking information email but who knows.

Waiting patiently.

Sold my T989 and rocking my old HTC Fuze for a week already. Thats dedication! o.O
[Nexus 4 General] harland3:
Make that 2.

Still nothing on either of my 8GBs ordered at 10:41 CST from Austin, TX
[Nexus 4 General] MisakaImouto:
How does one do the "will call" trick?
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
So there are lots of people who got BO emails yesterday, and lots of people that are getting shipping notices today...

but who got BO email yesterday AND a shipping notice today???
[Nexus 4 General] volcs0:
1. Had two orders in the system. One ordered around 10:50CST and the other at 11:20CST, both 16gb.

2. One was cancelled yesterday (the 10:50)

3. I received a backorder notice (without any order number, so I don't know which one it was for).

4. Just received shipping notice with tracking number - for the 11:20CST one.
[Nexus 4 General] rehughe:
From Google. I got MyChoice email last night
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
If I got a tracking number today and received it in two business days I would leave well enough alone and enjoy my phone, honestly. Let the people who really get backordered get their refunds.
[Nexus 4 General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Lol wow dude. He probably didn't realize someone would care enough about what he was wearing in this photo to warrant a comment like that. :rolleyes:

..and this is the Play store orders and shipping thread, his post is perfectly appropriate..
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I seriously hate this!

I haven't received anything at all, from anyone! Everything is Pending..

I have the perfect case of Limbo, and it's pissing me off! ‎(ﾉಥ益ಥ）ﾉ﻿ ┻━┻
[Nexus 4 General] jenskristian:
Come on Google. Where is my tracking number?! I'm tired of being a part of team limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
OMG. I just literally spit up my coffee. So hilarious. Who cares what he is wearing, but it still literally made me lol.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
That's what I thought yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] locsplitter:
WTF!

My order was COMPLETELY REFUNDED on my bank statement! The authorization DID NOT GO THROUGH!

I have NOT received ANY emails ever since confirmation at 11:33...

My status still saying PENDING... it hasn't even been cancelled yet!

I AM SO CONFUSED! I just want my phone ._.
[Nexus 4 General] pat972:
Got mine , no BO, nothing till 10:40 from google ! Waiting for the bumper now ! But no info yet ! So let's hope for tomorrow...
[Nexus 4 General] Dunkamo:
I just got my shipping confirmation and the wallet switched to completed at the same time (within minutes). My UPS tracking says Monday for delivery.

FYI. I bought my phone at 8:40am PST on the 13th. Until now I was in limbo on wallet(pending) and my bank account(pending).
[Nexus 4 General] advil0:
That's happened to a lot of us, it just means the authorization has expired, people are still getting theirs shipped out like this, Google will re-charge you very soon.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
You are not the only one...Most of us that were in limbo suffered this as well. It's pissing me off also, but I am just going to deal with it. Just calm down, relax, and check your email later. I also have everything pending...just wait patiently. Eventually we will get some form of notification from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Still in limbo, ordered a 16 gig at 8:49 PST (12:49 EST). This is ridiculous.
[Nexus 4 General] AmesCell:
I should have gone 8GB. I figured if Google let me order a 16GB they must have it available. Uhhh.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
It really is, considering how Google claims it's first come first serve.
[Nexus 4 General] dudinatrix:
11/13 10:34AM CST - Placed order for 16GB N4 from Chicago. Errored out, never saw confirmation screen.

11/13 10:50AM CST - Noticed a pending charge on my credit card. Order listed in Google Wallet and Google Play as Pending, shipping November 15th.

11/13 11:06AM CST - Received order confirmation email from Google.

11/15 6:45PM CST - Received UPS My Choice tracking. 1.10 lbs: A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated.

11/16 9:55AM CST - Still no update on the tracking screen yet. Google Wallet/Play still say pending/shipping November 15th. No emails received from Google other than initial confirmation.

EDIT:

11/16 10:05AM CST - Google shipment notification email received. Google Wallet order status updated to completed, references tracking number. Still no tracking movement.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Still nothing on my end, ordered one 8gb at 8:33 pst

Sent from limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
It seems like a lot of people just received shipping notices, but it's only like 8 out of hundreds. No need to panic yet
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Ok but posting a picture of your phone is a serious troll move in this thread. The views/comments are going through the roof, and a very, very, very small percentage want to hear neener, neener hah hah check out this N4 and my bright blue jeans.
[Nexus 4 General] phoneman09:
I am still in Limbo. I have not received any BO email, completed order, or that it has been shipped. I am so tired of calling Google Play. Would it be better for me to call a CSR person and maybe it will be shipped out faster? Any ideas what I should do, or should I just play the waiting game still?
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
And the problem is they haveno idea what is going on, everytime i talk to a CSR or a supervisor theyre saying they are waiting on the shipping team for more info.
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
Exactly, it's infuriating. 8.32 PST here.
[Nexus 4 General] ackliph:
Shipped Notification JUST CAME IN!

Order Date: November 13, 2012 12:28:06 PM UTC-6

Nov 16 Google Inc. shipped your order.
[Nexus 4 General] ceejay83:
Cool ordered 1 minute before you and I've received nothing so far :(
[Nexus 4 General] siscim23:
Google. UPS doesnt show anything for the tracking number I got from google.
[Nexus 4 General] exynos5512:
I have been reading this thread right from it's inception to know what you guys expect from nexus 4. It is extremely unfortunate that you guys had to face lot of problems.

I am google employee working in mobile development team. According to the info that I got, we were not able to handle the traffic and due to constant refreshing from the customers we were not able to update the inventory accordingly.

Unfortunately, google play store is handled by a different team and they never expected this sort of traffic. Trust me, we dint even expect 50% of that.

We have worked really hard to make this product, so please dont loose trust in us. I am sure this phone is not going to disappoint anyone of you.

I just created my account to convey this, it is really disheartening to see such hate on us, after all the effort we have put in to make it for such a low cost.

Thanks-anonymous
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
Nexus 4 Rooted Already (No Surprise)
[Nexus 4 General] silverbladef:
So what? You wouldn't be complaining if you had just received your phone. Granted maybe you wouldn't have posted a picture, but still. Honestly his medium stonewashed jeans offended me rather than his Nexus 4 lol.
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
OK. So just about every app I have on my phone is showing "completed" November 15, I know for a fact that I updated nothing yesterday and also that many apps I simply haven't even updated are showing up as completed. Could this have anything to do with the fact that I checked "link my phone to my account"? Hmm, I wonder. I got backordered btw, so I am probably in denial, but you never know.
[Nexus 4 General] magn2o:
Just got my shipping confirmation.

Ordered 11/13 @ 8:52 AM PST

Order Confirmation 11/13 @ 11:27 PM PST

Shipping Confirmation 11/16 @ 7:35 AM PST

Up until now, I was in limbo. No BO, nothing. So, at least something is coming. Could be an empty box, who knows. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] TheFiveDots:
What are you even talking about? Just stop. Nobody asked you.

Reported for unwarranted and off-topic comments about his clothing. Get over yourself.
[Nexus 4 General] d_phekt:
I know it sucks hearing and seeing pics of members who have received their phones and/or shipping info, but look at it as a good sign. Now we know who is getting what and what the status is on theirs so we can somewhat get an idea what MIGHT happen with ours.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Unfortunately theres nothing we can do at this time. I wish amazon was the one handling this nexus 4 launch, it would have been a success, better communication and at least we would have known whats going on.
[Nexus 4 General] varshil:
hey guys, i stay in india. my aunt ordered nexus 4 for me. unfortunately it got back ordered! now she along with her family is coming to india on 26th of november. so if google sends the shipment to her address, there wont be anyone to collect it! so can i change my shipment address to some other place (eg. my other relative) ?? my status still says pending and it has not shipped! please help me and lemme whether i can change the shipment address to other place or not! and how??
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
same here buddy i am a ****ed up limbo atm :confused:

I ordered 8:35am PST and still waiting, everything is pending like before and play store shipping estimate: November 15, 2012 wtf its 16 :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
At least I was able to order one. There are some other unlucky bastards out there...
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
I know right?!?!? I called them up yesterday and this morning, and they told me the same thing also! This morning's rep was more fail though...She had no clue what a Nexus 4 was and literally asked what kind of drugs I was on before noticing on my account that it was right there.

08:34 PST... I'm just more interested in what happened on their end now after this whole thing.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Do you have any idea of the number of devices they had in stock? or the number you guys were expecting to sell?
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Exact same here.
[Nexus 4 General] ruthlesset:
Called CSsince it was the 16th and all I received was a order confirmation email. They told me that it should ship out today. 5 minutes later, I receive my tracking number for the 16GB Nexus 4 and bumper case :D
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
My order 'eventually' went through at 08:32 GMT UK, which is weird as I see a lot of people with practically almost the same order time.

The thing that annoys me is seeing people who ordered later, get theirs dispatched when its supposed to be 1st come, 1st served - even worse that they have theirs, and I have to wait up to 3 weeks!
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
Please hurry and change the shipping to my address, then I can forward it to you when you return! PM sent!
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
Has anyone with a Back order email received the phone or shipping information
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I just remembered something....

On the day of launch, I forgot to close the refresh app and when I added the phone to cart and tried to select info, it refreshed. It did this twice before I realized it was still refreshing, so I closed the app and then got my order in with the "success" window telling me all is well.

But I didn't restart the process entirely, I should have re-added it to cart.

I have a theory. What if I really did order nothing that day, maybe that is why I'm in limbo?
[Nexus 4 General] MisakaImouto:
JUST got my shipping email. Scheduled delivery is for Monday.

I'm going to refuse the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] AmesCell:
I'm in Limbo. UPS just pulled up. Only time they are this early is for overnight packages.... getting my hopes up even though I shouldn't.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
They have to listen. We need to create a petition.
[Nexus 4 General] Plexicle:
Edit: I'll be nice. But, I don't believe for a second that you're a Google employee.
[Nexus 4 General] cityheadache:
I asked a CSR as I leave my job in 2 weeks and I'm getting it delivered there but they said for security reasons, no. You would have to cancel for a refund and re-order later.
[Nexus 4 General] :
ah who am i kidding, it's probably a troll...
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
Either that or he's my dad....
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
You guys with your theories...
[Nexus 4 General] phantomevo77:
WOOOOOTTT!!! After all my complaining and question asking and threatening to buy from T-Mobile... MY ORDER HAS SHIPPED!! There is no tracking information yet but it does say that the shipping label was made yesterday!!! Holla!!!

16gb N4 with Bumper. Ordered 9:44 MST Denver, CO
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
Despite being screwed over and disappointed repeatedly, I keep refreshing my email, expecting to finally get my shipping email. I hope they're sending out emails to all of us in limbo, it seems like lots of people have gotten emails in the last hour..
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
No way! Just got my email! Ordered at 11:37am EST. We got this!
[Nexus 4 General] co.ag.2005:
Got my shipping email this morning on my way to work! Tracking number isn't in UPSs system, so I assume it'll arrive Monday or Tuesday. Ordered the 8GB at 10:55am MST.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
ME TOOO! As soon as i saw your comment i checked my email and now my order has shipped! FUC*ING FINALLY!

[Nexus 4 General] varshil:
your order is shipped?? they say that they cannot change the order once it has been shipped!! mine hasnt shipped and it has been back ordered
[Nexus 4 General] :
I believe two people did, one of which had ordered it two hours after launch.
[Nexus 4 General] Mairek:
Shipped

I literally just received my shipping email from Google. 11:06AM EST today. My order was for a 16gb at 11:44, I did

not

have a Backorder email before this one.
[Nexus 4 General] geeyoupee:
I've been lurking on here for the past 3 days. Here's my details

Ordered 8gb at 859 PST

Got the BO email

Got Tracking info from google at 803PST

Both wallet and play store shows as completed.

EST delivery monday.

EDIT: I signed up for myups and didn't get any emails from them yet.
[Nexus 4 General] MisakaImouto:
How do you know you and your money won't be stuck in limbo forever?
[Nexus 4 General] vita10gy:
Just shipped! Kinda hoping to find out it was halfway here, but I'll take it.

Previously in limbo, 16gb 10:45am cst
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
man i am still limbo ordered at 11:35am EST, anyway is it going to deliver today or monday
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
More Cancellations = More HOPE
[Nexus 4 General] Kennnny1:
No email, checked the mobile Google wallet site and saw no changes, then for the hell of it I checked the desktop wallet site and what do you know - my tracking number!

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 4 General] princebama:
Im in CO Springs and ordered at 938 MST. Were you in limbo like me with no information as to what status your order was in?
[Nexus 4 General] timskyline86:
seriously? people have to wait 3 weeks, most just trying to find out if their order even validated, and you're going to refuse a highly wanted phone for because it came 3days later, even though you still got 2day shipping? If it was regular shipping it probably wouldnt have gotten to you till wed or thurs. Sell it to someone couldn't get it at least.
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
Can you please get my phone shipped if I give you my order number?
[Nexus 4 General] Jrbourque:
Was in limbo just received email with tracking ...still can't track tho. Probably hasn't left yet
[Nexus 4 General] necksis:
Maybe this will give some hope to the rest of you. I ordered a 16GB and got the BO email, and just got the shipment notification. My wife had two orders under her account (first for two 16GB, and another for one 16GB... one is for her and the other two for siblings). She also received the BO email yesterday, and got shipment notification for both orders. No tracking info is really available yet so I doubt we'll see them before Monday.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
:( Nothing is changing. What did I do, oh powerful Google, to deserve this? I read every article; very review! I've bought your Chromebooks and proselytized Android to everyone I met! I've ridiculed Apple users and convinced people to switch! Why has thou forsaken me!?!?

:p
[Nexus 4 General] N3Ti:
Limbo for 3 days just got tracking number. Ordered 11:32 cst 8gb.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Yeah, I didn't bother to respond. I just reported as spam/trolling.

to quote Full House... you got it dude.

Zing

Derp, did you or did you NOT receive a BO email?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe you just dreamed you ordered it. Seriously, if you were die hard like me, you'd still have your order completion tab loaded. Or at least a screenshot. Busch league bro. Busch league.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Looks like a lot of people that were in limbo just got shipping confirmation in the past 5 min. I did, it was about damn time!
[Nexus 4 General] cityheadache:
Mine hasn't shipped and is also backordered, but he still said he cannot change the address unless I cancel completely and re-order one in 3 weeks.

You can try to contact Google if you're unsure, but this is what I was told.
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
Wow. Just got my email w/ tracking number. Thank you Google.

Ordered at 10:34 AM CST on Nov 13. 16GB N10 and 16GB N4
