hey I'm from Croatia, one of those countries in which Google Store isn't available in yet...

I have friend who live in Germany. Can someone from Germany check PlayStore and tell my how much cost 16 gb version?

tnx:good:
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
349€
[Nexus 4 General] Horridge:
I'd also like to know this, will it be local time release or US based?
[Nexus 4 General] jrush4:
Would have sold it on eBay but it's got quite a deep scratch on the screen from when I missed my pocket one time :( I'd just ordered my screen protector too, I was gutted! I'd probably get around £270-80 for it (I've seen brand new ones go for £290) and after the 10% eBay fees, listing fees and however much PayPal take, I'd probably end up with the same or less than what envirofone would give me. Plus if I sell it to them I'll get to keep the charger etc. Could sell the box for an extra tenner too!

I might still sell it on eBay mind, I've got until the 13th so... But like I said, don't think it'd be worth it after fees and questions like "DUS IT COME WITH APPLE MAPS AND IOS 6???//?!"
[Nexus 4 General] ross1998:
yeah but pst is pacific time zone? (washington)?
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
yes, but it doesn't matter where you are, it'll be about 26.5 hours from whatever time it is, wherever you are, right now.

I try to make the distinction, so we don't have a bunch of people asking about each time zone.
[Nexus 4 General] ross1998:
thanks
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Hopefully BasedGod is right and the phone is released at 3am EST... It would make me very happy. :D
[Nexus 4 General] bpear96:
Does anyone think this phone is going to go out of stock day one? I wont be able to order it for 2-3 days, hope its instock on google play when i can order one.. :/
[Nexus 4 General] yumcax:
Doubtful, I'm sure they have stock piled up for the next couple weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:
google making us wait for a couple weeks after announcement, they should have enough. they must know the demand, based off of the galaxy nexus, but more so the nexus 7. they screwed up with the nexus 7, so i have a strong feeling they are prepared this time. the nexus 7 was more of a "test" for them, being their first device to be sold on the play store starting from day 1 (unlike the galaxy nexus)
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Does anyone have a clue as to what they will charge for next day shipping to the East Coast?
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-monitor/pemhgklkefakciniebenbfclihhmmfcd

That is the extesion I meant to link to. It's for chrome, and it monitors page changes for you. Checks every 5 seconds, has a desktop popup notification.
[Nexus 4 General] Prod1702:
I would say it won't go out of stock as well. There are alot of ppl looking at getting a 8gb one. Remember there is two sizes of the phone. Some ppl will get one others will get the other one. I am sure stock will be there.
[Nexus 4 General] bpear96:
Im looking to get the 16GB one. Thanks for the reply, hope your right :) , also going to be getting a Nexus 7. going all NEXUS :D!
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
I believe shipping is going to be $10.50 for us... Total should be around $385.00 (including shipping and tax)
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Lets hope so.
[Nexus 4 General] _guzzler_:
I agree but it makes me nervous to see so many pre-order listings on ebay. These sellers would just buy as much they can from multiple accounts as they have already taken money from buyers... :(

I hope there are 2 for me :)
[Nexus 4 General] Prod1702:
Well if it does go out of stock i can't see it happening for a few days, and if that happens i am sure Google will get it back in stock within a week or two. Remember they want to get what they can out before X-Mas. So I am sure they are rdy for whatever is thrown at them.

Edit: also to add about the pre-order listings. I would think Google would only allow so many units to be sold under one Credit Card. If they did it based on your account then the ppl that are doing the ebay thing would make Google look dumb to me.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I hate that crap...I would hate to miss out and he stuck with this crappy a601 just because a bunch of greedy Ebayers had to buy 10 at a time..

I don't know how someone gets away with selling crap that isn't even released yet..

Edit : Deleted lol
[Nexus 4 General] klin1344:
Google play has a notify me button that will email you as soon as the n4 goes on sale. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] mackster248:
Fastest way would probably be following any of the large Android news outlets on Twitter. Like Android Central or Android Police. I'm sure they'll tweet it out as soon as the page goes live. That might be an option for ya.
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Damn dude did you just wake up? People have been saying this for hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CC/BA Charges disappear. Will be recharged later. No big deal.

"What I would do in your situation" is decide how badly you want it and either wait or cancel. Or call google and get the same damn runaround spiel that everyone else who has called has gotten. Hell, keep calling back until you get the rep that tells you what you want to hear. Go stand in the middle of the street and force-stop the UPS truck, ask him where the f*** your phone is. Do whateverrrr you want man. It's a phone, not an oxygen tank on a sinking submarine.

Anyhoo, I'm considering cancelling, but only because like the N7 early adopters, they are going to drop price in 4 mos, or add features such as carrier-specific LTE (N7 3G anyone?). Nexus S to Nexus S 4G, to GNex, N7 to price drop, to 3G. Google doesn't historically have a great history rewarding the loyalist early-adopters. Good times.
[Nexus 4 General] KyraOfFire:
Mine is out for delivery :D
[Nexus 4 General] KonstantinKeller:
It gets annoying after a few calls though.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
Yeah, seems like a lot of us that are in limbo are going through this right now. Just saying this right now, DO NOT CALL THEM! They will just say something about the order not being canceled, nor is it shipped, blah blah blah. Just basically what they said to several other members that have called them.

Well, it's nice to know that I was not the only one. I am thinking it's the bank because I called them up and they said the order was not canceled at all. It just hasn't shipped, and that if I do not get a tracking email by tonight, call them up either this evening (At 23:00) or on Monday and ask about the order. I am still really worried overall.
[Nexus 4 General] MisakaImouto:
Just called Google.

They said they can't cancel a package after the 2 hour mark. They said the average shipping window is between 3-5 days and at this point the only way I could cancel my order is to refuse the package when it comes.

The lady asked me if I got a back order email, and when I said no she said that the processing stage is backed up and that my phone could be processed today or even possibly Monday.

Now my money is tied up until god knows when. Extremely dissatisfied with this service.
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
I love this thread. So many good laughs.
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
Yes, yes it did. Well I feel like an idiot. :eek:

It stayed at the top of the list for most of yesterday (I haven't installed any new apps) So I was surprised when it wasn't on the list. Right after I posted. I found the phone. Oops :p
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
For those worried about holds dropping off its absolutely nothing to worry over. It just means Google haven't taken final payment yet but the bank has released it. It means nothing about the actual order

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authorization_hold

Authorization hold (also card authorization, preauthorization, or preauth) is the practice within the banking industry of authorizing electronic transactions done with a debit card or credit card and holding this balance as unavailable either until the merchant clears the transaction (also called settlement), or the hold "falls off." In the case of debit cards, authorization holds can fall off the account (thus rendering the balance available again) anywhere from 1–5 days after the transaction date depending on the bank's policy; in the case of credit cards, holds may last as long as 30 days, depending on the issuing bank.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
Seriously? Authorizations drop after a certain number of days. They can still charge you. The two are not related. The only reason companies do the authorization is to prevent credit card failures right when they are shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
Yes...I did just wake up...so I have not checked most of the thread about it. To be honest, I did call them, got that stupid answer they gave everyone else... The rep I got sounded like she had no clue on what I was talking about when I said "Nexus 4" -_-... So I don't think I will call them up for the rest of the day. I think I will just keep with the order, but I am hoping I do NOT have to resort to calling them again.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Explain it as many times as you want; this will come up again and again. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Jrbourque:
What's the seriously for? After all the mess ups that happened I would be concerned with it as well. Considering some people likened still have it pending
[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Did you try the truck thing?
[Nexus 4 General] mtbgo7:
Be hopeful.

I had not received any BO or shipping email, so I called and learned that mine was backordered yesterday. (By the way, mine was ordered 12:07 EST). The CSR asked me whether I want to cancel the order, but I strongly told the CSR not to take any action, because I was kind of hoping something might happen.

Like a miracle, I got the shipping confirmation email 15 minutes ago.

I was desperate but I am now happy. I hope you guys get the same email soon.
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
I just bought them this and had it delivered, ATTN: Play Store
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
This is how class action lawsuits are born
[Nexus 4 General] sublimnl:
Actually, I do. I have gone through the UPS/USPS hybrid solution and everything that went with it before. If they are using UPS Mail Innovations as other people who have tracking numbers said they are then what I said is true.
[Nexus 4 General] ATnTdude:
Which is why you should never use a debit card. Always, always use credit. They can hold my bank's money, or my CC Co's cash as long as they want to. They have plenty of it.

As for me, as much as limbo sucks (really, more of a purgatory, but let's not get theological here), it's still not as bad as waiting on Verizon to someday, one day, eventually put the Galaxy Nexus (always hated that name, should have stuck with Nexus Prime) up for sale, say nothing of their asinine software update schedule.

So this whole thing sucks, but the last Nexus sucked worse.
[Nexus 4 General] tengen:
It could be the authorization timing out, or it could also be Google canceling the authorization from their end. Unless you can conclusively prove that it's a simple timing issue and not (another) screwup from Google, perhaps we shouldn't discount these occurrences just yet.
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
I'm saying you don't know for sure that everyone will get UPS Mail Innovations. You don't know for sure, so until you do, calm down. If your phone isn't in backorder, you'll have it before December 1st. Just have a sense of optimism.
[Nexus 4 General] NelsonTheMoron:
LOL, I am not going to try that. They already told me it did not ship. I just had problems talking with the rep since she had no clue about what I called for. She just said something about calling them tonight or Monday if I don't get a shipping email (I already am thinking I won't get anything like that).
[Nexus 4 General] mchimney:
I personally think people should not post that their devices we're delivered here, it just makes me infuriated to read them =/
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
I'm sorry, no offence to you but this is bull! You ordered at least 30 minutes behind others and you got a delivery confirmation? This should not be happening.
[Nexus 4 General] Orion575:
I was in Limbo all that time untill 2 min ago I got a tracking number in my inbox !!! Keep your hopes up people !!!
[Nexus 4 General] gear.h34d.2012:
Did the Will Call trick with UPS. Just picked mine up, 1015am EST. North Carolina.
[Nexus 4 General] david4533:
i'm hoping most of the orders will arrive today/monday and its only the email system thats messed up.
[Nexus 4 General] aimetti:
My charges are no where to be found now ,

1 of my n4 is out for delivery tho.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Haha
[Nexus 4 General] Jrbourque:
People please stop posting your nexus 4 in the waiting thread. You are making me more jealous with each post of I got my phone lol
[Nexus 4 General] AmesCell:
People haven't really been talking about so I don't know. When I ordered I saw that box and figured if they needed to do an extra step to associate phone with my account it could delay it. So I tried a bunch of times to uncheck it. That never worked. So I ended up ordering with it left to associate phone with my account. I'm one of the Limbo people now...
[Nexus 4 General] myorks1127:
UPS just delivered mine to my surprise as i was BO!! No tracking or anything, this happened a couple years ago when tmobile sent me a warranty replacement as well, never got ahippong notice from them either it just showed up
[Nexus 4 General] Evil0verlord:
Whats the 'Will Call' trick?
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
so has anyone in limbo group like me, receive any emails today for shipping or back orders?:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] pr0crast1nate:
So I ordered 2 16GB models and 2 bumpers, all on separate orders. I got the email yesterday talking about shipping within three weeks but it never referenced which one was backordered. A few minutes ago I got a shipment email...for the bumper. BUT...when I checked the tracking, it said "2 Packages in this shipment" and one was a little heavier than the other so I'm hopeful that one of them is a phone. Still no email for the phone though. Anyone else having weird stuff like this?
[Nexus 4 General] osi13:
Wow. This is pathetic. I ordered an 8GB 12 minutes after the sale went live. I haven't received shipping information, and now the payment has been reversed.
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
Pending is still pending
[Nexus 4 General] silver91342:
Nope I am still in limbo like you.
[Nexus 4 General] Serious_Beans:
Most of us Lol. I only have the original confirmation email and shipping estimate for the 15th.
[Nexus 4 General] 2015Ducatimulti:
that`s promising I guess for people that have not heard anything about their orders:fingers-crossed: like me
[Nexus 4 General] Ajfink:
Ditto here.
[Nexus 4 General] wcdude18:
Has anyone drawn a connection to ordering/shipment issues and the "Link Google account to this Nexus device" option during the ordering process?

I left that checked, figured why not? Wondering if that option is either delaying OR expediting orders. Any noticeable correlation for those of you that have received shipment notifications?

My stats:

Location: Boston

Order: (1) 16GB Nexus 4

Time: 11:34a EST

Confirmation email received

Play store: Shipment estimate 11/15

Wallet: Pending

No shipment OR BO email, though
[Nexus 4 General] captain.dogendo:
Just spoke to UPS, my Nexus is being delivered today :D
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
For people that have RECEIVED your devices, is your charge still "pending" on your card? or is it complete since it was shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] silver91342:
I think its been proven linking only links it server side there not opening phones. The server will sync it when you turn it on.
[Nexus 4 General] c0LdFire:
The phone package has been 1.1lb or so from what I've seen in screenshots.
[Nexus 4 General] ryanbmw51:
I def don't mind seeing posts like this....where are you located (prob left this thread forever Im guessing)
[Nexus 4 General] shadvich:
11:46AM EST, 16GB no bumper. Wallet shows pending. Estimated shipment date of Thursday. No BO or shipping email. Can't get UPS Mychoice so I'm totally in the dark here
[Nexus 4 General] d_phekt:
Just curious... Has anyone with Pre-ordered status gotten either shipping info or the phone delivered yet?
[Nexus 4 General] AmesCell:
I keep trying to but I can't get anyone who has gotten a Nexus to say if they checked it or not. The only responses I've seen are of "I don't remember".
[Nexus 4 General] M0D3RNAFR0:
I love this thread.

Yes! Let the hatred flow through you!
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
My credit card is still pending. Guess its not shipped yet.
[Nexus 4 General] moosery:
Well. Many will say I'm mad. But I'm cancelling this and just bought a £120 more and slightly lower spec S3.

Why? Because my phone is broken and I need a new one NOW. not 3+ weeks.

Because I feel deceived by google

Because they have replaced all the joy about buying a phone with gloom

Because I will be HAPPY when my S3 arrives tomorrow.

Because then I can get on with my life!
[Nexus 4 General] silverbladef:
Been in limbo, just when I was about to get pissed they just sent me an email with the tracking number. There's no tracking info yet tho, so waiting for UPS to update. Hooray. Hope you guys will get yours shipped asap!
[Nexus 4 General] pr0crast1nate:
One is 1.10 lbs and the other is 1.60 lbs. Hmmmmm
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
No one that has their phone is reading this thread any more...

too busy playing!
[Nexus 4 General] Orion575:
I was in limbo and I just got a tracking number from them
[Nexus 4 General] NexusIncarnate:
You need to provide your order time and nation when you provide this information. Give us hope! :)
[Nexus 4 General] rehughe:
Just got a shipped email from Google with the tracking number UPS MyChoice sent me last night....

I was in limbo....

Ordered one 16GB live in Chicago area, ordered at 10:45.39am CST
[Nexus 4 General] gallitoreds:
My order went through at 8:43am PST and I got the BO email yesterday...! The charge is still pending on my CC though... Should I still have hope?? If I choose to cancel, how long does it take for the money to be available in my account??

P.S. I used to work at UPS, and I have lot of buddies there, let me ask one of them if he knows what the situation with the nexus packages are...
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
If the charge is pending, or dropped off, it can only mean one thing. Phone has not shipped yet, because they charge the full amount when they ship. It would definitely show as a completed charge during the 2 days it takes UPS to deliver the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
All the limbos are starting to get tracking... cool beans :)
[Nexus 4 General] Alejleva:
My nexus 4 8GiB out for delivery :laugh:

California.
[Nexus 4 General] legacygt:
8 or 16 gb? did you get any funds put back into your account?
[Nexus 4 General] advil0:
I still have no tracking and I ordered at 8:33am PST :(

Could've sworn Google said it was first come, first serve...
[Nexus 4 General] AmesCell:
I thought people have reported shipping emails, but phone order still shows as pending?
[Nexus 4 General] astromanic:
are all the limbo getting tracking from google, or from mychoice?
[Nexus 4 General] bizziet:
Got all excited when I saw an email from Google just pop up until I read it. "U made bro?" , Sincerely Eric Schmidt =(
[Nexus 4 General] silverbladef:
I ordered 1 8GB, around 11:55 CST, Houston TX.
[Nexus 4 General] dwd3885:
nope. nothing
[Nexus 4 General] Bronk93:
How do you explain those that had the charge dropped off but have received tracking info from UPS?
[Nexus 4 General] Hawkeye9723:
Still in limbo, called support and asked about teh status as it still says shipping on 15-Nov. Was told that the order is still being processed, and if I don't get a backorder email by tomorrow it will ship "soon"
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
Awesome! There is hope!
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
Nope, nothing. And now when i try to use their pointless check order status thing on google wallet it doesnt issue out an auto responder any longer. Everything still remains the same. However the hold on my account is gone, so i'm assuming im screwed.
[Nexus 4 General] jenskristian:
I have the exact same order as you, but ordered one minute later. I unchecked the "Link Google account to this Nexus device" option. Still in limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
Not sure if this is gonna help anyone but some phones were schedule to be delivered Monday ... I'm thinking that might be the reason why some of you still don't have their tracking info yet.. It seems like you always get the tracking info the day before you get the device.. Maybe UPS wasn't completely ready to handle all the overnight shipping demand ?
[Nexus 4 General] dagaetch:
master response list

For everyone who is tired of seeing the same questions asked:

Why is everyone so upset? It's just a phone, right?

So I'm guessing you're new to XDA ;) But in all fairness, the major problem here has been from Google's lack of communication. No one has any solid information, and when you're eagerly awaiting a new toy, that's frustrating.

Why do the Google Play customer service reps keep giving generic responses?

Probably because they don't have better information to give you. Please don't take your frustration out on them; they're just trying to collect a paycheck like the rest of us. The blame for this one should be directed at whoever is responsible for the Play order system; that's where the screwup seems to be.

The payment authorization disappeared from my bank/credit account! Is my order canceled?

Probably not. Payment authorizations come off your account after a certain time period - it usually doesn't mean anything. A refund is a different story.

I ordered my phone on the 13th and haven't received any emails since then. What's going on?

No one knows. The general response from Google Play customer support is that if you haven't received an email stating your phone was backordered, it should still be shipped in the next few business days.

Why are phones being shipped to people who ordered after me, while mine is in limbo?

Google has given no explanation of shipping order. It's not alphabetical, it's not based on which phone (8g or 16b), it's not based on location, at least as far as anyone can tell.

Any chance that my phone will be delivered, even though I haven't gotten an email?

Sure. This has happened to people with other Play store orders in the past, so it could very well happen again.

I checked the "Link Google account to this Nexus device" option when I placed my order. Has this delayed things?

Unlikely. This just links your IMEI with your Google account, and shouldn't delay things at all.

I'm so frustrated about this! Why can't Google just ship my phone already?

Because you're a naughty, naughty boy or girl and Santa Claus has you on a list. Or because, y'know, the world doesn't actually revolve around you.

When will more N4's be back in stock?

No one knows for sure. Current rumor (11/16) is three weeks, but Google corporate hasn't said anything.

That's it - I'm canceling my order and writing a strongly worded letter of complaint!

Go right ahead...the more canceled orders, the faster the rest of us get the phone. And please post your letter of complaint for us to enjoy reading.

Anyone have theirs shipped while there is still only the authorization on their CC?
[Nexus 4 General] idigg:
Just got a shipping email on only one of my devices, I ordered 2 8GB. No information yet from UPS meaning Google just printed out a shipping label, I won't get it till Monday, dammit.

I just got an email from Google timestamped 10:33 am EST that my N4 shipped.

8GB ordered at 1:32pm EST
