Go to: https://play.google.com/store/account

Find your Nexus 4 order and check the date under the column "Date". Previously they were all the 13th, but some people's are changing to the 17th.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Many people that have linked their phone to their account aka did not uncheck the box... have their phones in hand already. It has zero impact on your order.
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
Mine was changed to the 17th, shipping estimate still the 15th, and Google Wallet showing the 13th. I had sent an email to Google last night trying to get some clarification, so I don't know if this has anything to do with it.
[Nexus 4 General] UCFJake:
I'm in the same boat, BO email and no Play Store or Wallet activity since the 13th.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] apolloms:
My order isnt even changing to the 17th.....no clue what the hell is going on
[Nexus 4 General] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
if you go to - play.google.com and go to your orders, there is a date when you ordered that device or app. mine went from the 13th to the 17th.
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
Same here
[Nexus 4 General] joe_sun:
Still shows at 13th on the Play Store
[Nexus 4 General] krypto16:
Just called and then hung up cuz The wait time for a CSR is over 30 minutes right now. I have called many times since I placed my order on the 13th and each time they say I should receive my email tonight or tomorrow morning. Each day passes and I get nothing. Now they update the order date to the 17th. I have no problem waiting but would just like to at least know what is going on and have a confirmation of when I am getting it. Terrible thing is, I don't think Google can even answer that question!! This would bever fly with Amazon, HTC, Samsung, Apple etc but for some reason it is all good when Google screws it up...makes no sense :-/

END RANT
[Nexus 4 General] joe_sun:
No backorder email
[Nexus 4 General] frigidazzi:
Current wait time is > 30 minutes it says LOL.

This is ridiculous... Ordered 834 PST...

Someone needs to write a news article about this. Any reporters here? We deserve at least some sort of statement about what's going on. I have Got no emails or anything. Still says est shipping 15th...
[Nexus 4 General] lukaville:
8GB, changed to 17th, get BO e-mail

CSR says my order status is backorder ("We are working to ship all items in your order as quickly as possible within the 3 week timeframe. You will receive an email confirmation as soon as your order is processed and on it's way.")
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Might take advantage of t mobiles free S3 deal right now, maybe sell the S3 - or cancel the N4 if it doesn't come through.
[Nexus 4 General] sparky4017:
My order date just changed in the last 5 min to the 17th now I have a 15th ship date but a $1 miss charge on my PayPal card from Google but my transaction from PayPal says complete it must be Aliens
[Nexus 4 General] vaxheadroom:
UPS does not run a sort in the Louisville hub on Saturday.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Nothing to do with it. I have not called or emailed them as it appears to get nothing done but waste air. My order date changed to 17th.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
It's $200, with a mail-in rebate.. F that.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
when you say sort you mean they don't scan? Because my returned package just got scanned to Louisville Hub this morning.
[Nexus 4 General] merkmal:
Haven't seen anyone mention this but both mine and my wife's orders (both 16gb) have two order numbers now in Google wallet. The big 2 part one listed as Google Inc Order # and a shorter one now listed as Google Order #.

My friend who had two shipped (one 8gb he received and a 16gb with Monday delivery date) said his didn't have the new shorter number just the long one.

I never received a BO email but my wife did.

Also I did notice the day after I order ( I was within the first 20 minutes) that my order time updated to 4:44 in the evening as if it had been replaced but never got any notice of it.

Oh and both our orders still show 13th with no update 17th date.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Where did you see this at? It wouldn't make sense for them not to unless the only thing that comes from this hub are Google Play devices.
[Nexus 4 General] Novi84:
Funny how that is the message everyone seems to get. The rep is confident that it is on it's way, and to "contact them personally" if it hasn't shown up within Tuesday. Not very personal though - all I got was an email with a support-tracking-number to reply to...

Are they buying themselves time, or have they in fact sent out a bunch of orders w/o tracking it in the system?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I hate rebates. I've been shafted out of so many rebates I don't bother anymore. It's just a way to hedge bets that the consumer is either too lazy to send it in or they can screw you. Multiple times they said I did not send original receipt or bar code.. And I'm like..I can't prove you wrong because I don't have it I SENT IT TO YOU...
[Nexus 4 General] luckylui:
UPS O'Hare sort facility stays open on sat till about 1030-1200. Some other facilities don't open Saturdays. Like the one that my phone arrived too in Palatine, IL.. They are closed. No phone for me today.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Where do you see 2 numbers? If you are talking about the order number that goes something like this 2849384983084.394840. It's always been formated like that, this is not new.
[Nexus 4 General] rockr4Christ:
FWIW, Google CSR said orders are frozen over the weekend :( Those of us in Limbo, with no shipping, no BO email, should be getting our devices shipped on monday, in hand by wed.

but said by a csr, so take it with a grain of salt.

-trev
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
just to give an update from germany (if anyone cares) that theres absolutely no update. hence the german thread is just 26 pages long lol

got BO mailing, playstore order has been on 'complete' since the beginning, no change at all neither in wallet nor in playstore.

im not giving up hope tho.

edit: looks like most of the few germans that ordered got delivered already. im f***** it seems (as always). and google doesnt seem to care about germany :(
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I noticed yesterday or day before that one of the order numbers dropped off my wallet entry. It was still there for 1x16GB so I didn't think much of it.
[Nexus 4 General] Ravynmagi:
Kinda weird. Not only did the Nexus 4 I ordered on the 13th, change the order date to the 17th. Even two of the Nexus 7s (one was an RMA) I ordered in July are also now showing an order date of November 17th. Haha.
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
Ah well, that makes this change a little lackluster :(
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Got the BO email and still have the same order date of Nov 15. Btw, I placed an order on the 13th at 2PM EST
[Nexus 4 General] merkmal:
No we have a new one. Our orders now show this:

Questions about your order?

Call Google Inc. 855 836-3987

Google Inc. Order #15731260465432498277.9999999999999999

Google Order #507421854999999

(I changed them to keep my number private)

Hers was updated the same way with the old "Google Inc Order" and a new "Google Order" one.
[Nexus 4 General] moosery:
Whether you have a balance held on your card or not probably is not relevant. I work both ends of the google wallet, I have a small website that takes wallet payments.

Believe it or not I have a test payment from 2009 where I was testing my shopping cart, I forgot to cancel that. It's STILL pending and oddly, when I do the math, it's on hold now on my card too along with the N4. Since when? I'm not sure! I doubt it's been on hold since 2009! But you never know!

So yeah. Pinch of salt on that one. I wouldn't read into it.

TL;DR version: I don't think credit card holds mean anything.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
Google really messed up. We need mobile change in the US. For anyone who's 1st time buying i unlocked phone was this situation is most likely turned off to the idea now. Carriers screw you but you get your device. As much as i want my device i understand sh1t happens. Im ok with waiting if we get some real facts and not PR jargon
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Oh I see what you mean. I'm still showing 1 number under each of 3 separate orders (2 N4s 1 bumper).
[Nexus 4 General] sparky4017:
I also have two order# a long two part and a shorter one
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Well I got two Christmas presents before I was able to get my phone. Good going Google :p:);)
[Nexus 4 General] sxy5007:
Got an email at 4:33 AM this morning saying it has shipped. So hopefully I get it by Tuesday. I ordered it on the 13th at 1:14 PM and I thought I was going to get the back-ordered message soon. Good luck to the rest!
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Hahahaha I'm thinking it went something like update orders set date=to_date("11/17/2012") where product_name like to_lower(”nexus%")

Excuse my abstract SQL example and possible bad memorization of functions that wound be a horrid data model for a large ecom system
[Nexus 4 General] frigidazzi:
This!!!
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
You 1 PM guys are killing me.. you are the 4th in a row i've seen today lol.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
I am a 2PM guy and nothing has happened :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
For real I got in before 1.. :) Grab your pitchforks and torches! :)
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
Im a 1pm guy ... nothing here other than the date change :(
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
I ordered almost a full hour and 45 min before that guy :crying:

stiiiiilll nothing
[Nexus 4 General] ryandesu:
UPS has a normal pickup scheduled on Saturdays. I work at a UPS Store. If they process any packages today I'm sure that UPS will be there to pick them up.
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
ive been showing both since the first day

Sent from my HTC One S
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
You had one cancelled on you right? I think you are just getting bad luck.
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
Yep , bad google CSR canceling my order because of a bumper issue ... bad google luck this time around.
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
Has anyone with the order date change called Google and see what that means?
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
If you have a microsim, you just put it in. Otherwise, you either have to cut your regular sim to microsim. Or go to AT&T and have them give you a new sim.
[Nexus 4 General] jenskristian:
Is the interview with Google? If so, I think they will understand ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Chochiwpg:
Why not just go to bed around 9pm and sleep till 3am? Set your alarm to wake you up and order the device, then go back to sleep again. That way you will be well rested for your interview :good:

That's what I will be doing, minus the interview.
[Nexus 4 General] gab_hamelin:
Hope you maybe future boss is a geek. lol

Alarm set for 2:55 ... life it would be necessary, I'll probably won't be able to go to bed anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Good thing your friends like to gossip about your info but Google doesn't give a flying f*ck.
[Nexus 4 General] radeon962:
Just don't bring the phone into the interview or at least turn it off unless your interview is with Google or LG who might understand.
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
Lol good luck. Ur boss will be tired too
[Nexus 4 General] kiy0shix24:
I picked up a micro SIM from at&t yesterday for free and am now just waiting patently until the order link goes up :)
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
I remember someone posted that there were two warehouses, on either in Kentucky or Illinois, another far away. Since I'm close to both I can't remember. You are not far away either.
[Nexus 4 General] toyface:
I've been with O2 for years now and have never had a problem with signal and my contract is no more expensive that anywhere else. When I was with Vodafone I got terrible signal indoors and some areas near me I would get none at all. 3 is no better, getting hold of friends and family on 3 is a nightmare!

UK Sprint? Hardly...
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:

[Nexus 4 General] jenskristian:
I'll be ready at 9AM in Norway with my VPN application to order from the American Play Store.
[Nexus 4 General] Chochiwpg:
Here's a question for everyone.

If the 16GB model of Nexus 4 sells out fast before you get a chance to buy, but the 8GB model is still available, would you buy it? Or would you wait for more stock of the 16GB model?
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
I'll wait for the 16GB to be restocked. 8GB is useless to me.
[Nexus 4 General] Stave:
I think Google has stats and have the good quantity of differents versions
[Nexus 4 General] miniAndroidian:
Good news for everybody.

The Gplus post was updated and the googles speaker posted that you can order your N4 (N7,N10) in the early morning (at least in germany) maybe in US you can order it on midnight!
[Nexus 4 General] shadvich:
Hmm, 3AM EST then? Looks like I'll just stay up and get my work done then.

[Nexus 4 General] np231:
the only reason I wanna get this order in asap is because I don't wanna put up with my temp. replacement blackberry. Sold my SGSII a week early lol. I really can't live without an android.
[Nexus 4 General] nic85:
So 9 am for Germany, france, spain and uk?
[Nexus 4 General] Datsun.510:
My info:

Ordered 8:44am PST.

Confirmation email 10:15am PST

No BO email

No shipping email

Play store says "Pre-order"

Wallet says "Pending"

Google had charged my bank but now the funds are back in since yesterday.

Everything has been the same since the 13th. No new update at all today.
[Nexus 4 General] treoless:
Just got thru to a CSR after being on hold for 30 minutes. He confirmed I'll get the tracking # tonight and the phone on Tue. He also mentioned this is new info from his supervisor this morning.

Order Date: November 13, 2012 11:43:17 AM UTC-5

Got the BO email. Date in Play Store changed this morning. 16GB version
[Nexus 4 General] hboot:
Google Wallet server error now. They're doing something ????
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
Anyone else call about this ?
[Nexus 4 General] Ravynmagi:
I haven't called Google once. Not sure why people keep bothering calling. CSRs apparently don't seem to know anything. And it won't make the phone arrive any faster. I feel bad for those poor guys, they are probably victims like us. Haha.
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
No server errors here on my end.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
I hope you're right and the CSRs are correct after saying that the 3rd day in a row.
[Nexus 4 General] sparky4017:
Your right I ordered mine 12:01 central time which is 10:01 in California my friend ordered his at 4:10 pm which is 2:10 California time and got his Friday now that sucks I sent Google two emails this morning with no response now I see up to a hour wait on the phone it may be time to get the boat oar out and whack them in the ass
[Nexus 4 General] Initial_G:
Wallet is working just fine for me. I haven't gotten an error yet lol
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
The nerve of these guys! They probably hit refresh too! lol :p
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
Take everything the CSR says with a grain of salt. I've been told two days in a row that mine would be shipped later that day. Guess who doesn't have any shipping info...
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I can see mine. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
It's actually 300, but I'll get that money back.

I don't think I'll cancel the N4, I'll just sell the S3 when I get the N4.. THis works for me because I need an extra phone so I'll just get two S3's with the rebates and then sell one to keep the N4 + I'll sell my two S2's.

I canceled my Sprint lines so I need to figure it out, might as well take advantage of these.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
hope its true
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
Did you get an order change?

P.S. They've told us all the same thing for the last few days. FWIW, I ordered 1 second before you.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
I think people are calling as a reassurance. Like when something bad happens but if someone tells you its OK, you start to feel better. Like a blanket.
[Nexus 4 General] aceo07:
I think we would have been less grumpy if there weren't so many references to 'official' sources saying that it would ship out on the day or within 2 days.

Also, there's probably a bit of people who bought some to resell on ebay or craigslist..

Then the screwed up timing of the ordering..
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
Just got off the phone with Google as well, he told me the same thing.

He said I should be getting an E-mail today regarding my order with shipping information and the phone by Tuesday, he got the news from him supervisor this morning in their morning meet-up or talk or whatever you call it.

I let him know my date changed from the 13th to the 17th and he said yeah, they're backed up and trying to get everything out.

He didn't say anything about me being on backorder even though I got that e-mail so hm.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Sweet. I got the BO email and my Play Store date changed this morning also. Hope this is good news for some of us.
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
No, what would make us less grumpy would have been for Google to send EVERYBODY an email saying what exactly is going on. Many of us were left in the dark after ordering.
[Nexus 4 General] apolloms:
same with me. and i ordered this damn phone within 5 minutes of sales going live.
[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
Same here. 8:35:51 PST
[Nexus 4 General] apolloms:
it pisses me off that backordered people are getting phones and i havent even had my ONE shipped to me.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
It's only $200 my friend,not that it really matters. 599 - 299 instant discount- 100 web discount, then 200 mail-in rebate.
[Nexus 4 General] ghostrid3r:
I know you guys want to be hopeful, but DO NOT BELIEVE A WORD WHAT CSR says. They use scripted lines and are just stringing you along the valley of HOPE so they can take the next call and REPEAT n RINSE until they get off their work shift.

CSR "I see your order is being processed and you should receive a tracking # number email later on today or tonight" :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] stormtroopercs:
yup it pisses me off that i haven't gotten a single email after ordering except for confirmation right after i ordered... nothing else... left in the dark.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Here's something funny. I have two orders and had bank account holds for each phone. Now the holds are gone and I have not been charged for anything ... even the phone that shipped out Friday.
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
I see that my play store date for my Nexus 4 changed from 13th to the 17th wtf Google:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
There's really no such thing as "backordered" people. That e-mail that was sent means jack.. unless you ordered at like 4pm+ PST.
[Nexus 4 General] Chief_rawka:
sos did almost everyone else
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
It means they are about to actually charge you. It should post Mon or Tues.
[Nexus 4 General] nsavani:
I just got off the phone with a CSR, I have been in limbo (only thing i got was an order confirmation email, nothing else has changed) and he told me my order was back ordered, after complaining since i ordered pretty early, 10:43CST, he went to "talk to a specialist" and returned and said i should have a tracking number by tonight or early tomorrow morning. So basically they have no idea about my order
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
It actually just means his preauthorization charge just expired.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
It's probably the typical not letting the p people doing the work estimate it and over committing their capacity.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Which they're ironically doing anyway by telling everyone who calls that they're order is being processed and they'll have a tracking number tonight or tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Also a strong possibility, since the max hold length depends on your bank.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
That's not that early, honestly. Tons of us ordered in the first five minutes and have nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] Chief_rawka:
I am on the phone holding for a csr. trolling for new lies:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
LOLWUT.

So as most of you already know, my status was stuck on pre-ordered from 11/13-11/16...

I just woke up and saw this:

Apparently it changed to: November 15th

* Shrug *

I didn't get any tracking information though. No BO email either.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Happened to a bunch of us. Cross your fingers...
[Nexus 4 General] Initial_G:
Yea a few of us have gotten our date changed too. We are just praying that its a good sign at this point lol
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Congratulations! that's a great sign that you moved off pre-order.
[Nexus 4 General] Solutions Etcetera:
I just spoke with a CSR, our 5 minute conversation started at 08:42 PST. I confirmed with him that he actually had my order number in front of him (had him read off the last 4 digits). I was polite and courteous, but pushed him for information or another individual to talk to if he did not have it.

He had no information. After him asking me if I received a BO email and my replying no, he said that was good news, and that my order would be shipping monday or tuesday. The rest of the conversation was mostly "I am sorry, we had a lot of orders, there getting to them as fast as they can" over and over.

UPS is handling all of the order fulfillment for them in a UPS warehouse. They are breaking down the orders as they see fit according to their own logistics. Google has no control over it, and no information until UPS sends them shipment confirmation and tracking number.

We'll either get them monday or tuesday or we won't... but Google will not be able to tell us until after it is on its way.

The only real piece of info I have is that if you got a BO email, well... that's bad news. Not saying it won't ship, but it is somehow "bad news".
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Notice your order date now says the 17th. Like a lot of people, google has finally gotten around to updating/correcting your order.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
If they say they are going to ask a specialist, ask them " what is a specialist and how is that different from you? Can I talk to the specialist myself?" ;)
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
http://client00.chat.mibbit.com/?channel=#nexus4&server=irc.efnet.org
[Nexus 4 General] nsavani:
i meant earlier than a number of people who oredered later in the day and already got a tracking number or even delivery
[Nexus 4 General] apolloms:
CSRs keep saying that, but more people that got BO emails already have their phones or shipping emails than those of us that ordered early and didnt get a BO email....
[Nexus 4 General] robg2008:
So if ups doesn't pick up the phones on Monday the earliest we can get them is Friday. According ups website.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I really doubt they will send a shopping notice over the weekend. I'd wager if any additional stock is going out that we will receive notice on Monday most likely, though I have no period for any of this. My order is still November 13 on wallet and the 15th through the play store. Also my credit card is still pending. Don't know about you guys but I've wasted a lot of time calling and reading online etc, I guess it will get here when it gets here.
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
pre-order? I was in limbo no news at all about my order and then i see date changed from the 13th to the 17th this BS google.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
That's really interesting I think that's the first I've heard the UPS is handling fulfillment.
[Nexus 4 General] stormtroopercs:
not me :( still 13th
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Slightly off topic.. has anyone seen a picture of a Nexus 4 w/ a bumper on it yet? I've yet to see a picture of that and I am very curious how it looks.
