That's 3 entirely different manufacturers. If the restocking happens at the same time it would be entirely coincidental imo.

3G Nexus 7 is in the same state as the Nexus 4.. Sold out within an hour and permanently put of stock since. Unless you're in the US, where they've had plenty.

I'm not so sure supplying only one country makes Samsung better. Seems just as bad to me.
[Nexus 4 General] RickyThunell:
Regarding all of the LTE, FCE talk. The phones Qualcomm processor has a built in lte chip. It can jot feasibly be separated. The phone does not have a signal amplifier or an lte antenna. People have reported receiving some signal, but in no way would lte be usable, or would it warrant a banning of the device by the fcc. Which as has been previously pointed out, the fcc has thoroughly looked over the device prior tonits release.

I think anaandtech has solved the mystery pretty thoroughly. Science ftw.

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6474/nexus-4-includes-support-for-lte-on-band-4-aws

Basically, it has LTE for certain canadian carries that use band 4. It's not hardly used in america, even though ATT has the license, and it's the band tmobile will probably use.

As far as the FCC goes, i'm privy to how exactly the process works, but I'd imagine it being limited by software is enough for them, combined with the fact it's not advertised or supported to be used in that manner.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
yeps and Google would'nt have lied to FCC about it being disabled by software and if they did someone is about to loose his job or may already have
[Nexus 4 General] kanetheninja:
It is, by default, disabled by software. You can argue it's too easy for the end user to reenable it though...

Wtf makes you think Google gives two ****s about Cyber Monday? They don't need that retail special day to sell out again. Jesus they aren't Best Buy.

No one has mentioned it?

Try checking the thread more than once every three days, wouldja.

Dude save your breath.

Those that care, know.

Those that don't, will ask again in a few hours.

Those that want to try to cause panic, will continue to post daily bull**** as fact.

Meh.

For everyone thinking Monday is The Day because it's already been two weeks, might want to wake up. It's day 11 of 21. Barely halfway there so put away your Magic 8 Ball and take a deep breath.

People don't get that phone leaks come FROM FCC submissions, fully exposed and broken down. Good on you for trying to be the voice of reason.

Sorry peeps, you may now resume spreading fear that the FCC is going to ban it an that it's shipping Monday.

LL3...hopfully this week.. I believe!!!
[Nexus 4 General] dmkozak:
I think the point was that Google seems to have ordered the 7 & 10 in waves and additional shipments have been received, and that it's reasonable to believe the same thing is happening with the 4; that additonal shipments are on the way and should be received shortly.

The 3 week estimate may have been conservative, allowing for additional days to clear Customs, be delivered to UPS to pack/ship, and for UPS to get them ready for pack/ship (i.e., quality inspection, physical inventory, etc.). If this only takes 2 weeks, then the 4 should be back in stock early/mid next week.

And, I think, for everyone here, that would be a good thing.
[Nexus 4 General] brockmoreno:
I was a Limbo 3 but I cancelled. I picked up a phone locally. The phone turned out to have a bad IMEI so I unlocked it and sold it. So I have been waiting ever since to buy a nexus 4 from the google play store. There is someone on CL selling a nexus 4 8gb for 400.00. Should I just pull the trigger?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Only you can answer that.
[Nexus 4 General] compuw22c:
I'm surprised apple hasn't put a hold on these things at customs. Now that they're officially out of ideas, the only way they can win is to "Tanya Harding" (unfairly cripple because they know they themselves will lose) the competition ;) An awesome phone at super slim margins without being a b1tch for the carriers?

True but it can help us see the sort of timing that Google placed orders with these companies for new stock.
[Nexus 4 General] peaechan:
I am guessing that the delay maybe related to the earphone speaker issue. I don't believe Google did not foresee the huge demands. Why they do not announce the root cause of delay early and keeping lie to us that our Nexus4 being shipped.. but told us backordered at last... This is only my opinion.

Hey guys i wanted to buy Nexus 4 from US , my friends sister will bring for me to india i will do payment from my indian card & will ship to her address but problem is STOCK ..I got to know that none of any online or offline store has nexus 4 , also not on play store , so guys tell me how to buy it as she is coming soon within month & what about payment method,how can i do payment from indian debit/credit card ? Please help please please.
[Nexus 4 General] wilsonlam97:
You can't. You need a US credit card.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
It has been said that the shipment is being sent by sea. Nobody knows that for fact but judging on the 3 week time frame that google gave it was logical. Even if it wasn't by sea the only other option is by air since trains don't go over water...
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Happy b day! Since I can't actually get you the phone here it is virtually with the nonexistent wireless charging orb. This might actually be worse than getting nothing, but it's always the thought that counts, right? :D

[Nexus 4 General] surferdude73:
Let's see. So tell me guys how to buy it? Wait for it to become available and purchase it through the Play Store, have it shipped to the address you want it delivered.

What payment method? Whatever they will accept. Will they take Indian DC/CC? I don't know.

Have your sister order it and have it shipped to her. Why ask all these questions when you say the problem is STOCK?

There is nothing anyone here can do to help you, we can't even help ourselves. Good luck in your purchase, but not really, because we are worried about all of our orders being filled by the US distribution, the last thing we want is for one of our phones to go to another country, and to a latecomer piping in 11 days after we have ordered.

If your going through all of those scenarios to get this phone, your name is inappropriate. Additionally, go to eBay and get your N4. Yeah, price is higher, but you covet this device in such a way that you ask for help from a thread of users who've purchased the phone, yet haven't received it. Lol. "The problem is STOCK".

There is no "WE" and "YOU" after all we are all people, and there are no differences ;) We cant help that google doesnt have any stores outside US or other countries of Google Play. I also live in the Netherlands, and made an order from a person who lives in the US and still waiting in Limbo 3 just like other people here.

After all, we are going to use the phone, not selling them over Ebay, just like some of the buyers who, oh wait.. also lives in the US ;)
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
The only thing you can do is try to use eBay. You won't be able to get it from the play store. Be careful of scammers.

Can she buy it for you if it is back in stock in time and then pay her back when she gets to India?

If she is leaving soon in wouldn't trust she will get it in time.
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
What I don't understand is the obsession with the bumper case. I wouldn't even pay Google's price for that piece of crap. I will wait for some nice aluminum ones on ebay for around the same price Google is charging. or similar tpu ones for $5 on ebay. I'll live with a skin for now and if I'm going somewhere or doing something I'll put it in the $5 TPU case I ordered from Amazon. I understand wanting to show off the back, but it's really easy to slip it in and out of a TPU case or one of the many leather sleeves out there.

The bumper is definitely not a piece if crap. It was worth every penny

[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Every review and YouTube video I've read and seen have raved about the bumper, that it's actually a very premium piece. I haven't read one bad thing about it. Quality is very nice, sturdy....makes the front look better since the chrome is wider. It's not garbage like the Asus nexus 7 crappy case. For $20, $27 with shipping, I think it's a steal and I would pay $40-$50 for it....can't wait to get one and I hope I'm able to.

I've been off the thread for a few days.. what's been going on? assuming no lvl 3 got any news lately? ive been playing with someone elses nexus 4 for a couple days.. heats up quickly sometimes, battery life could be better, camera is decent, beautiful phone as far as the screen goes and the phone itself goes. extremely smooth, very fast, i love this thing. i had an s3 before so im still getting used to not having the hard key, some of the shortcut options, etc. but they werent lying when they said this is the purest android experience.. you guys will get over all this ruckus once you get your phone. hope well all get ours soon. happy late thanksgiving!

I've read a few stories about people dropping the n4 with the bumper and nothing happened, not a scratch or crack....the back of the bumper looks like it has a lip, so when you sit it down the back doesn't touch the surface. Sounds like it protects well.
[Nexus 4 General] mafiaboy01:
I usually get an ottorbox commuter case for my phones, but I think I might look for something else this time, I'd really like to see the back of the phone.

But on the other hand I've dropped my S3 quite a few times, even on the driveway from 5 feet and its still mint.

To the problem is STOCK guy, have her buy it off craigslist.
[Nexus 4 General] UltraNoob:
Would this not affect NFC operation?
[Nexus 4 General] Kushblow:
You cannot compare the S3's polycarbonate shell with the N4. Even if you dropped the N4 once it would probably crack or be moderately damaged.

After I saw the bumper was 30$ I sat down and cried. Then I ordered a TPU case and leather sleeve for 1/3 that price.

Wouldn't those two combined offer superior protection over the bumper?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I bought the Indiana Journal Alano Portenzo case for my N7. It's awesome. I would have gotten the Tesero but they were not available when I bought the case.I gave my wife my iPad 2 when I bought the N7, got her the Gazette Alano Case since she loves astronomy. It's also exceptional. They cost quite a bit but they are so worth it.

I don't like cases or protectors on my phones, but I may get the bumper. I like how it adds some form of protection without being in the way.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Nope...the lip doesn't cover it.
[Nexus 4 General] mafiaboy01:

Case looks nice, but this thing is only a plastic bumper

A bumper case is not worth £22 - that's outrageous.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Interesting. There were many complaints about the speaker grille area being flush and getting severely muffled when laying the phone on a table for speakerphone. Maybe this cures it a little? That would be nice as I use my phone in that fashion in my office or at home on occasion.
[Nexus 4 General] mafiaboy01:
Are the bumper cases two layers, soft inside plastic then hard outside?
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Yes. But the plastic is flexible
[Nexus 4 General] Kushblow:
Yeah it does look crap. Fortunately it's only 2$ and I was planning on using it until the good ones released like Cruzerlite, Rearthe, or even the Ionic case. It doesn't look too clean but that armor looks like it can take a pounding.

[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I believe from the video review on phandroid that its a TPU band all the way through with a plastic, metal looking band inlayed on the middle of the outside. The part that hugs your phone is TPU. I sure hope it is not silicone, that stuff sags really fast. All of my SGP cases that have the 2 part minimal shell sagged in the back within a month. It is softer and more flexible than TPU but it holds its shape very poorly. If this were the case with the nexus bumper, I'm sure a reviewer would have pointed it out though. Silicone only seems to hold when it is thick enough and covers the whole phone with a full shell over it, like most of the ballistic cases (Ballistic, Seidio, Trident, Case-Mate, etc).

I bought a tree gloo and haven't used it. Right now I'm using on 1 N7 the blurex slim, the one that just has the clips on the corners and doesn't cover the screen at all like some of the portfolio cases....and my other N7 is in a tpu (I bought 3 cruzer lite android army cases for $8 yesterday, they go for $20 each, I got a bargain! And ordered 3 more N4 cruzer lite cases since I won a gift card from cruzer lite)So yesterday I was using the N7 in the blurex, it has the smart cover magnet....all of a sudden the N7 went nuts, I watched my battery go from 47% to 6%, shut off and very hot. When I turned it back on all these funky lines, all different colors, went flashing on the screen. I took the case off and it all went back to normal, and it hasn't done anything crazy since I took it off. Not sure if the magnet just took a toll on it or what. But I'll never use a case with magnets again.
