I've often wondered why people hate iPhones so much. I like android phones better, but I don't hate iPhones. It's not like they have personally wronged me in any way.
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
I think it has mostly to do with the company behind it :)
[Nexus 4 General] Mikulec:
You think u know better than me what I use? :eek:

SGS3 uses this kind of combo, but it works as I said. You set the minimum level of autobrightnes with the slider and the brightnes then adjust as it should.

Thats exactly how it works on SGS3, as I said earlier.

What do you expect when they're suing another company like every month, and their cases are so petty. I wish they would hurry and reform the patent system cause Apple is abusing it.
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
I'm not a fan of how Apple does business, but they do make quality products. Without the iPhone, I doubt we'd have the same quality android phones we have today. Competition is never a bad thing.
[Nexus 4 General] crazeco:
It's not so black and white. Competition shouldn't be a bad thing. Unfortunately, when a corporation purposefully stifles competition from its rivals, it IS a bad thing.
[Nexus 4 General] thegregulator:
We're getting off topic here, and I may be way off, but in the grand scheme of things, have any of Apples lawsuits really made a huge difference in Android sales? I'm not defending them in any way.

Anyways, doesn't really matter. What matters is on Nov 13 at 00:00 I'm ordering 2 Nexus 4's!
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
I don't really believe that Apple leapfrogged the developement in smartphones, i wouldn't call them "lucky" but their work is definitely a culmination of several decades of work by others preceding them, I think the iPhone mostly hit a timing where touch, display and mobile networks really started taking off.

But on the other hand they definitely caused the industry to spend more time circumventing the legals of their silly patents, and while Apple aren't the only ones doing it, i do think they're one of the worst in the mobile phone sector. People have to spend so much time sidestepping inventions instead of using their time on refining the ones we already have.

Anyone with an 8 gig get the backorder email?

Im within the 1 day zone, i havent received any BO email
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
Only good thing about backordered is we'll get the second wave of shipments which hopefully will be 100% free of any bugs. I had an early s3 which had gaps between screen and side and my bro got one later and his was perfect
[Nexus 4 General] princebama:
Just called and was told everything went through fine on my order, UPS hasn't received yet. Also said funds went through fine though still pending in my account.... And should get tracking # IN THE NEXT 24-48 HRS. Ordered 838pst wallet pending and est 15 Nov on G Play
[Nexus 4 General] svengalis:

Can anyone who got the email let us know if anything changed on the Play store or Wallet?
[Nexus 4 General] decepticon:
Still no update on mine. My payment cleared last night. Ordered at 10:31 AM CST
[Nexus 4 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Just as many shipping confirmation emails went out.. I really think Google ties your order number to a device so its like reserve .. but its people who order before me and have got backorder .. maybe Google just didn't sort them out. Its clearly not a first come first serve type thing
[Nexus 4 General] NICEGYPT:
I spoke with Google rep and this what the email I got

Thank you for contacting The Google Play Team. I understand you like if you are still getting a Nexus 4 device. I understand and will be glad to assist you.

Our records show that you are still getting a Nexus 4 and it cover. You should be getting a Tracking number a little later today. You can go to Google.com and type in your tracking number and keep live update on your Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] chadster214:
Back ordered

I just recieved an email from Google Play saying that due to high demand Nexus 4 is backordered and will continue to ship in 3 weeks. I cancelled my order since they can't send me a Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] bgaccord:
Im in L.A us
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I noticed that the people who got backordered email are people who order later ( 30 min + ) from when the phone was made available.

Anyone here got that email even though you ordered early? Please let me know.
[Nexus 4 General] bkforyou:
I'm in CA and I ordered mine at November 13, 2012 8:32:48 AM UTC-8.

I haven't any shipping or backorder emails and the wait is killing me. Just tell me which one I am google!
[Nexus 4 General] moosery:
Well just off the phone to google

Interestingly he said it's "3-4 week backorder"

So the within 3 weeks is already growing. Perhaps a sign of things to come.

Ridiculous
[Nexus 4 General] :
I said before but you probably missed it as this thread changes FAST.

No change on play or wallet!
[Nexus 4 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
You won't be getting a refund unless Google has guaranteed you a shipping date or UPS ..

You paid for two day shipping. Aka it will be deliver in 2 business days.

Not 2 day processing
[Nexus 4 General] LucasMac:
I'm inside the one day area.
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
same here. i had no expectations on the 13th and i still don't expect anything any time soon if ever. fk google.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
No email for me yet either way. :)
[Nexus 4 General] ManOnTheMoon:
i ordered mine at 1150!!!! and its enroute for delivery tomorrow according to the US chart. I live near chicago. Im very excited. cant wait to see when i actually get it.
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
I agree, if you got the email please let us know what time you ordered!
[Nexus 4 General] Verexa:
My story on launch day in the UK...

I was extremely disappointed that my order was cancelled way before they went out of stock. I had waited since midnight (UK time) and had managed to place an order. A few moments after ordering I received a phone call from my bank; it was an automated call asking to confirm that the recent transactions were made by myself. I went through the process fairly quickly, only to be told that Google had cancelled my order. I then thought to attempt purchasing again but as the site was extremely unresponsive I was left without one.

What I'm saying is that Google's ordering process was really stupid and that they should've done it by pre-order to ensure they had judged interest correctly. It's extremely concerning that a massive internet company can't keep it's own website running smoothly.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Just got the backorder speech over the phone. What the flying f#ck

Also I ordered mine 8:36:29 am pst
[Nexus 4 General] Guto ViP:
Well well... This is just a phone ... I'll wait until December to buy mine ... By then I already know the problems that occurred with the first devices and maybe these problems will be gradually solved in the second or third wave.
[Nexus 4 General] strobex:
Fingers crossed.. It'd fall in line with their behavior to try and quell the play store traffic by switching to "coming soon"
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
I'm right on the border of 1 day shipping. Before 1 day on Thursday happened with Amazon. It would make sense if they choose to ship those within one day's reach later today. But I don't think whose order got back ordered has anything to do with how far it has to travel. That would be even less fair than time. I think there are multiple people who ordered the same device. So whoever placed the first order got the device and the next person, even if he appeared to have successfully ordered, didn't get it and will receive the backorder email.

Haven't heard anything from Google yet. I sent them an email inquiring about the status of my order, which was place at 11:42EST.
[Nexus 4 General] siscim23:
So... anyone get their 8GB backordered yet? Every post I've seen about backorder is for 16GB.
[Nexus 4 General] parelem:
yep, i'm in that area with back order email.
[Nexus 4 General] guest_2011:
you should've made google waive the tax too. i'll try. lol
[Nexus 4 General] KentuckyHouse:
Are you backordered?
[Nexus 4 General] Drike19:
I'm from California and got the backorder email at 11:32 pm PST. I will say that I was not one of the few that was able to get their order in early so I was expecting it. Even though I have to wait for the phone, on the bright side the $27.99 they charged me for shipping will be credited.

16GB version

Order date: Nov 13, 2012 3:30:05 PM PST

Did anyone with an order marked as "Complete" get back ordered? This isn't fun. :/
[Nexus 4 General] Lana Del Rey:
We are getting the same email in Spain but I think that its not about an stock problem, we are talking about this in a spanish forum and theres people that got NExus 4 at 00:13 (PST), 00:40, 00:24, 2:00 and got this email, there are people that got it at 00:20 (my case), 00:22... and didnt get this email, btw we didnt get the email with the tracking number...

So it looks like its some random :eek: if it would be a stock problem then only the last ppl who got the phone would have recieved this email :eek:

[Nexus 4 General] tanman1975:
still no confirmation email that it shipped, but my credit card got charged today, so I'm hopefully optimistic
[Nexus 4 General] TheSopranos16:
Just got a backorder email as well. Really frustrating. Seems as if they had very little stock on this phone. Really a disappointing experience from start to finish. The company's mission statement is to organize the worlds information. How hard is it to know how many phones you are getting from your supplier and only sell that amount? These people pull of engineering miracles on a regular basis on almost all their products and they couldn't get this right? THEY BUILT A CAR THAT DRIVES ITSELF FOR GOD'S SAKE!

Confirmation E-mail?: NO

Tracking Number?: NO

Credit Card Status?: Full amount is in "pending" status

My Location: Michigan
[Nexus 4 General] nyijedi:
Is there any correlation between getting the back order email and the status of the order shown in your account (e.g., "Shipping Estimate: November 15," "Complete," or "Pre-Ordered")? I haven't seen any mention of this.

My status has been "Pre-Ordered" since the day I ordered it, but I still haven't received the back order email.
[Nexus 4 General] siscim23:
You get backorder email?
[Nexus 4 General] ninjames:
People asking for a shipping refund is just so lulzy. I've never seen this much stupid entitlement over something. Two day shipping does NOT mean you get your item in two days.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
Nearly identical...but as you can see from the tag on the bottom of this post, they will eventually ship
[Nexus 4 General] ohaaron:
You read his post wrong. His phone is backordered. Google already stated everyone who is backordered gets a refund for their shipping charges. He was stating that they better refund the tax on the shipping as well.
[Nexus 4 General] akkiman:
Just got off the phone again after speaking to a Google customer rep. So the conversation was

" Congratulations, your nexus 4 has already shipped!. I'm not in liberty to give you more information. An email was sent at 23:56 p.m. PST on the 14th to my mailbox about the shipment.

So I tell him that I haven't received any email. And he says are you sure?

I say yes because I have my inbox in front of me and I don't see any email.

He says.. Don't worry sir, you are a proud owner of the n4 and should receive it soon.

"

Now I'm angry. The whole handling of this process has been nothing short of a disaster.

I haven't received any email at all from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] porkchopbolt:
Yes I did. Looks like there was just as much interest in the 8gb as the 16gb

[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Here's some overall context to add to the discussion:

I am in San Antonio, TX (2 day delivery per the map)

I ordered at 10:33:29 AM CST

I received a confirmation email from Google Play at 10:34 AM

My status in Google Play is Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012

My status in Google Wallet is Pending

I have neither a shipping notification nor a backordered email from Google

UPS My Choice shows nothing from Google being delivered to my address at this time

Hope this helps someone's peace of mind. :)

Since they don't offer any shipping options, I think they should refund the shipping.

Per rep I spoke with she said it shipped... Don't know if I can believe it or not.. Yet.
[Nexus 4 General] raptir:
No, the issue with the Nexus 7 was that stores had it in stock before people who preordered had their devices shipped. So you could walk in to a Staples and pick up the tablet on the release date, but I preordered it and it wasn't shipped for two days after the release date.
[Nexus 4 General] billbradford:
Wow, a lot of people in this thread are acting like entitled, petulant whiny babies.

Really? You're cursing Google because your order hasn't gone exactly perfect?

Is the world completely going to end because your smartphone might show up on Monday instead of Friday?

Remember that there's *people* on the other end of your transaction, not robots. They're doing their best to keep up with demand, process orders, and get phones shipped out as quick as possible. Don't be angry at them or at the customer service reps on the phone or the UPS delivery people ; they're all just trying to do their jobs.

Chill, sit back, and enjoy the new phone when it arrives. Don't give yourself a coronary. It's just a phone.
[Nexus 4 General] thetacoking2:
When did you order yours? I ordered mine at 12CST and haven't received anything at all besides the order confirmation email.

Actually this is worse, with the nexus 7 they said that preorders placed before a certain time and date, would ship within a certain time frame, this one is just you may or may not get the dreaded email...

[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
This is ****ing pathetic. I ordered at 8:36:23 PST, and have yet to hear anything from those incompetent morons. Was hoping I wouldn't have to wait till Monday to get the phone, now I'm just hoping I don't have to wait 3 weeks. 1) They shouldn't have sold more than they had - what's the point of "sold out?" USE IT EARLIER. 2) Why the hell are people that ordered later getting shipping info? People who ordered earlier should have priority over anyone else.

At this point, I'm starting to think that anyone that hasn't received shipping info is going to be back ordered :(
