something weird...

i ordered 2x 16GB around 11:50 PST and just got a tracking number for Monday

my gf ordered 1x 8GB from her laptop (same IP address/network, same time) and she got a back order notice and no shipping

the only difference i can tell is that i have previous orders on my play account (nexus one, nexus s, nexus7, and galaxy nexus) while my gf has a new account... so its possible i get preferential treatment?

i also ordered on my PC using chrome browser while my gf ordered on her macbook, maybe thay hate apple users lol

December is right around the corner. If our phones haven't been delivered by then, we're all screwed.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/11/17/sorry-santa-google-cancels-december-in-android-4-2/

Google is so ****ing incompetent now. They just ruined the track record they've been building for years in a matter of weeks. Good job.

Yea i remember you we had the same excact problem and i saw the same exact thing on mine. But now when i check the play store orders its correct and shows my N4 and bumper but they changed the order date to the 17th and the estimated shipping is now the 15th on both... but thats bs of course. Still no updates to my Google wallet and my money is still pending in my debit card and i ordered at 8:57 am PST.

Level 3 here (for my 16 gb)

although I cant go as far as saying i was completely betrayed as I did receive my 8gb friday.

I may just cancel my 16 gb now though. Have my phone completely setup w/ all apps titanium backup , CWM backup , some music and still have 4.5 gigs left. Most of my stuff is in the cloud.

I just came back from the issues thread...

I'm not sure I'm too excited about the phone anymore. People are reporting some weird issues over there.

If I get a faulty phone, I probably won't get a replacement till 2013.

That cancel option is starting to look real good right now.

Yup I was told by 3 people I would be getting shipping confirmation on Thursday night. Nothing. Emailed them yesterday afternoon, and this morning. No response when asked for an actual inquiry into the status of my order. Order date changed to the 17th, pending holds on my debt card dropped, and no emails regarding any changes once so ever. This is ridiculous.

How would that help?

They don't have a phone for my order... Don't you people realize this? The people in Limbo are glitched people, the real back orders. Whatever happened over there at Google must have screwed the hell out of most early orders.

I think someone even mentioned that this was the case.

I hope I am wrong though.

I had ordered a nexus 4 8GB and received only the confirmation email. No back ordered email nor a shipping email and a "Shipping estimate November 15". And i finally got my shipping email a hour ago. So if you didn't get the back ordered email i think you'll be receiving a shipping email soon. Mine should be coming on wednesday, it's a brutal wait i know... But hopefully you'll all get it soon!

[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
What pisses me off with this whole situation is that they put the money in to have a 24 hour phone presence for Nexus devices but other than in a few situations, are just as bad as talking to wall about your problem. The real people that can change things, fix probs, etc. aren't even reachable! When I had problems and needed to RMA my Nexus 7, they basically have some inside email address they put your info into and then it's no different than you emailing yourself other than getting a little faster response. In most cases, whoever that person that was emailed doesn't even take down whatever the CSR told you they put down because you get emails asking you the same crap you already explained to the guy on the phone.

In this case, each CSR has a million different answers, all of which add up to their own special speculation or song and dance to get you placated and off the phone. I would rather call and them say, I have no news, and Google is giving me nothing to say about the situations. When I call two of the people basically just gave me their own anecdotal speculation of what goes on with manufacturing, etc... without any experience at all with said process!

Google should just instruct a canned response and say they have no information beyond that and apologize, etc. It's ridiculous to have a whole 24 hour phone staff that exists simply to lie or speculate to the customer. I don't blame the CSR's themselves, as they are the ones paid to do this, but that is NOT customer service, it's barely even lip service.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
same here but at least i got 500 for it and only paid 180 i thought i was so cool when my order went through...obviously that didnt work out so well

[Nexus 4 General] SBGS-FTW:
I'd like to theorize that Google is playing a waiting game like we are. We wait for the phone or an update with substance while they wait for enough people to cancel orders. I only say this because LG apparently doesn't want the masses to obtain this phone from Google at its price point. Obvious in its subsidized pricing. Google can't say that though, as they'd be throwing the manufacturer of the flagship Nexus under the bus. I bet there's a corporate battle we're not privy to.

[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
I'm pretty sure you guys are getting tired of hearing these things but just called Google Play and got an awesome Rep named Chris. Got him to go through everything and learned that they're bumping a lot of orders to next day. I lied and said that I was told yesterday that I should be getting a tracking number and didn't but was calling to do a follow up. He went through my order status and said everything looked as good as any sent package he's seen and even admitted to theorizing that it's either a)sitting on a pallet waiting to be shipped or b) already shipped but UPS hasn't sent any info back to Google. He said even saw how I only received my confirmation email when my order went through and to make sure he wasn't lying, I asked when did it go through. He nailed it down to the millisecond(?) of 8:36:29 am PST. Obviously I joked around about the nexus with him like I always do with any rep I talk to just to keep the mood light since I'm pretty sure they're getting yelled at. I wish I was a patient person. He did say I would get refunded on shipping if it doesn't go out by Tuesday but honestly I don't really care about that. No mention of a bumper as well.

Edit: Also it wouldn't let him send me an after-call survey which was weird. I always like to leave awesome feedback

Or maybe that's just the brand new story the manager came up with.
[Nexus 4 General] tengen:
As I mentioned earlier, that second order number is associated with the order in Google Checkout (checkout.google.com) as opposed to the longer number, which is a merchant transaction number associated with Google Wallet (wallet.google.com). Check the url used by your mobile device and you'll see that it's a checkout.google.com address; scroll to the end of the url and you'll see that mysterious second number tacked onto the end.

[Nexus 4 General] merkmal:
I pieced this together earlier today when I realized some people were seeing the other number and others weren't. I was away all day and kept checking things on my phone and noticed the mobile page for google wallet lists the other order number in addition to the longer one. The desktop page only lists the one.

I was trying to see if the order number used as a reference in the tracking info people have received was related to this shorter number... like a base 36 encoding or something as it seems to line up that way, but the one example I had was from someone who checked on their PC and didn't see the other order number... this was before i knew why it wasn't showing up for them.

If people who have had their tracking info show up and also signed up for UPS My Choice (the only way the order number shows up in the tracking info) can post both the shorter order number from the mobile wallet page and also the one on the tracking page and maybe we can find a relation.
