I have now ordered two 8gbs two weeks apart. Both have arrived within 4 days, however I did not recieve a tracking email until the day they were out for delivery -. - I'm in Houston TX.
[Nexus 4 General] soskinner:
I'm also in TX (FTW) Ordered my 8GB (i think linked, dont recall) on 2/20 (around 8AM). Nothing. Pending charges are gone. No dots. nothing. Ugh!
[Nexus 4 General] wbynum:
I'm in TX (Houston). Ordered a 16gb N4 Thurs night (Feb 21st). UPS shows it was shipped the following day.

[Nexus 4 General] Ruben32:
I was hoping mine had shipped the day the second bullet went through, (yesterday) so that I could get it today, but alas, I remembered that UPS only delivers on Saturday for an extra fee.

I still can't track my box, but I hope I can do it tomorrow. Maybe on Monday I'll have it. :D
[Nexus 4 General] Semantics:
I just ordered my 16GB, screw Sprint. Says 1-2 weeks, I hope I don't have to wait that long. I'm so excited.

I hope so!! Lost my LTE since I already sold my OneX and fell back to a much older phone in the interim. Now I get to fight ATT to get it back. Grandfathered unlimited so I HAD an unlimited LTE plan. Should be fun since they know nothing about this phone and it doesn't "technically" have LTE. Going to try and tell them it exactly like the Optimus G. Wish me luck. Otherwise I'll have to pick up a random LTE device off craigslist to get it back.

thanks!

I'm going with the 70 dollar all you can eat TMO plan to see how it works out. You?

I'm keeping my unlimited straight talk. I ordered a micro sim cutter from amazon and it should be here this week. (I need to cut my normal sim down)

Ordered the 16gb last night. So glad to see people getting it so fast.

Need to order the Seidio case too this week. Can't have such a fragile phone caseless.

What kind of cases are you new owners going with?
[Nexus 4 General] minieod:
i have both of these, gonna see which is better on the phone, one more day!

i've heard straight talk caps at like 1-2gb - is that true?
[Nexus 4 General] NexusAndroid4:
I know that UPS doesn't deliver on Saturdays, but what happened to the tracking page?

Is anyone else getting this:

>>> Not all tracking information is available at this time. Please try again later.
[Nexus 4 General] Ruben32:
Well, there's been a lot of different sayings on that. Usually it goes down to where you live, I think. But still, 2gb is not a lot when talking about HD content...
[Nexus 4 General] NexusAndroid4:
And... It's working again. I don't know why I'm still consistently F5'ing on the weekends, though.
[Nexus 4 General] Ruben32:
I'm wondering the same thing now. I couldn't track before, and now this. Perhaps they're just updating the system.

If that's the case, then we should see something, at least that they picked it up, pretty soon. If we don't perhaps that means that the tracking code was just generated and not picked up by UPS just yet (which could be the case, since for me the email came today at 3am)
[Nexus 4 General] wbynum:
Yes, plenty of reports of ST permanently dropping people down to 2g speed or outright banning them if they exceed 2gb per month or even 100 - 200 mb in a day. Personally I would avoid ST and go with an up-front TMO plan.
[Nexus 4 General] NexusAndroid4:
I was able to first track UPS on Friday though. It seems to be working 50% now though, at least for me. The locations are shown, but now the page doesn't show weight of the package or destination anymore. I hope it means that there is an ongoing update.
[Nexus 4 General] jondamn:
Has anybody been able to make delivery changes using my choice? I am trying to have it held at will call but they said I can't because google didn't upload my billing info.
[Nexus 4 General] Ruben32:
I'll be on T-Mobile's 30 dollar Monthly4G with 100 minutes (which I rarely use), unlimited texts, and 5GB of data at 4G and then I guess at 2G or slower.

I'll probably use solavei just like minioed if I start using more than 300 minutes a month. (Which would get me to 50 a month)

Another thing, do they allow tethering on that plan?
[Nexus 4 General] Semantics:
They don't but I only tether my Nexus 7, so WiFi tether hack will suit me just fine. I've been be using my buddies WiFi from his T-Mobile phone all night and no issues. He has issues when he tethers a laptop due to the user agent, but I told him about TOR browser and now he can tether the laptop. I've have 200Kbps speeds on Sprint for the past 13 months, I just want to be able to stream MLB'TV on my phone or tablet while I'm at work. So excited to get this phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Ruben32:
I read somewhere else (Sorry for not giving credit, I can't recall) that you can also use a VPS that is encrypted and it should work just as good, since T-Mobile doesn't see what's being transfered, just that there's data going out.

About Sprint, one word: ouch...

I can't imagine having those speeds
[Nexus 4 General] raj.parekh07:
nothing to see here
[Nexus 4 General] minieod:
thats why i am going with solavei, they get full 4g tmo speeds and a hard cap of 5gb and then throttling....5gb is about 4.5gb more than i need, but its nice to know its there!

and its like $5 more than ST

If you use autopay with Straight Talk you get a small break on your bill. I pay about $42.50 a month to use AT&T's awesome network. I tried using Tmobile when I first moved here, I got one bar at my house and zero connection where I work.

I use my phone how ever I like and haven't had any problems with ST, I've even got some of my friends and family using it because it's such a good deal.

Previously I'm from country where Nexus 4 is not available in play store. However recently I've move to country where Nexus 4 is available in play store.

I can browse the Nexus 4 page and add the device to cart, but when I sign in, it shows

"Sorry! Devices on Google Play is not available in your country yet.

We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible.

Please check back again soon."

May I know how can I purchase the Nexus 4?

Called UPS, and they said that if it's two-day shipping, and it shipped friday/saturday, it will most definitely come Monday. Too excited.

Kinda off-topic;

I'm on a family plan under my aunts, and I was wondering if I can go to a TMO store by myself to get a micro SIM for my N4? Or do they need to have the permission of the primary account holder? My aunt's out for the week, and she won't come back next week. It would suck if I have the N4 for a week yet I can't even use it lol.
[Nexus 4 General] sandpaperback:
You should be fine. I stopped by a mall kiosk yesterday, they asked my phone number (though I am primary, but you aren't making changes to the account), then handed me a new sim for free.

Basically confirms my fears that only the 16GB variants are shipping before their quoted shipping time. Haven't seen anyone ordering an 8GB model get their device so quickly after ordering. Irritating.

If you used a service for forwarding, check with them. They'll be able to tell you how they're shipping and how much the customs will be.

Since I'm getting my phone tomorrow... I should make a checklist of defects to check for on the phone before I start installing screen protectors and stuff...

It depends upon how picky you are. If the box doesn't look like the UPS driver drop kicked it, and it turns on and makes calls it will pass inspection.

">>> UPS could not locate the shipment details for your request. Please verify your information and try again later."

Any idea how long before that info will show up? I'm hoping its because of the weekend and not a case where a label is printed out and then it is shipped 2 weeks later.

For a bumper case, I decided to try the Poetic "borderline" case myself, which is on my n4 ATM.

Given that they had problems with the borderline case peeling I saved several other options "for later" in my Amazon cart including the second one that you linked to above, and after having the n4 for several days and now thinking forward to warmer weather I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldn't pick up a holster case(keys in one pocket, cash/coins in other, not going in back pocket, don't wear shirts with pockets -> need some place to put it...).

Saturday delivery by UPS is a fairly expensive optional extra IF offered, which Google doesn't as you just automagically get 2d UPS added to the bill.

Also my n4 came with the original release fw, but a system update to 4.2.2 popped up shortly after initial setup, which I did do. Plan on staying with stock ATM unless I find some good reason/feature/problem not to.

Put it on the $30 tmo plan(5GB data) with the intent to entirely dump landline(AT&T's been having POTS problems here as in I had no landline last week at all, and it's happened before several times in the last 6m which shouldn't be happening with POTS. I foresee a fine in AT&T's near future...) IF tmo works out well for a month or two... (If I need extra minutes I'll just leave a few extra dollars in the account to cover them...)

Only drawback that I can see ATM is tmo's craptastic coverage outside of major metro areas & interstate highways... be interesting to see what I get IF I manage to head out camping in the boondocks next summer(Verizon worked as expected, but I suspect that I'll be no signalling a few hours drive N with tmo...)

[EDIT]

Also decided to spring for the charger last night... briefly contemplated a qi mat, but as I've not other qi enabled devices ATM(or ones that I intend to make qi enabled) seemed kind of pointless, more versatile or no... also seems that they've dropped the price by $5, as I seem to recall when looking at it when I ordered my n4 that it was $65 and now it's $60(more or less cancels out shipping cost)... probably should've gone with an energizer qi mat, but I don't need the versatility ATM and really don't have any place to setup a mat, the little google blob I have plenty of convenient places for, but not a larger mat...

I remember that right after I had ordered my 16GB one on the 20th the 8gb had been saying 2-3 weeks, then when my order was done, it said 1-2 weeks. I guess they're just moving things around to make sure the batches align with the amount of orders. I prefer them doing it like this, than saying IN STOCK but taking a long time to ship. I'm getting mine tomorrow even though my shipping estimate said march 7th, I love that it's shipped rather quickly.

How can I effectively cancel my order?

It is impressive how Google is managing its customer relationship...

I made my first order on Jan 31st (a Nexus 4 16 GB and a bumper), with an estimated shipping date of 1-2 weeks.

On Feb 7th my credit card authorization was cancelled (not sure if it was Google that issued it), so I placed a 2nd order of just a Nexus 4 16GB.

In the meantime, I already received my Nexus 4 that I ordered on Feb 7th, but my first order is still pending (is marked as "Pre-ordered").

Although I could easily resell the phone, I am not interested in waiting so long for it. Nonetheless, it seems that Google doesn't make it easy at all for one to cancel an order, even when it wasn't shipped (it does not seem to be anywhere near that). Their only solution is to wait for the package, refuse its delivery or send it back for a refund. How stupid can this be (does Google want to pay for the shipping when they clearly know they will have to refund the customer?)

So, was anyone able to cancel an order days after it was placed? What did you do exactly?
[Nexus 4 General] Ruben32:
When you go to your Wallet account, and see the status of the Nexus 4, you'll see that one says that you oredered it, and the second bullet is the one that says that Google recieved your order. After that, it's just a matter of waiting for the actual package.
