Once it arrives we will have to touch base on other threads on all the cool mods/apps for it. Now I have to time when to go to T-Mobile to get the smaller SIM card :)

Oh and sell my Gnex with Pongo Car Dock/Desktop Pongo dock!....this looks to be a BUSY WEEK!

(But still feel like I may be ranting on this thread again if it does not arrive) lol

I just talked to Jasmine and she told me that my order is almost done processing and it should ship by late this week.
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
Exactly!!! LOL.
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
Anyone got any tips on what to say to speed up your order? I've been waiting patiently so far, but I'm getting kind of annoyed now. If I can do anything to speed things up..
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
Yeah I mean honestly this was AFTER a customer service agent had pretended she was an answering machine and then I hear her coworkers laughing hysterically in the background. That just pushed me over the edge. I called and asked to be escalated to a supervisor, I was put on hold for quite a while, about 15 minutes before I was finally transferred to him. I told him how the agent pretended she was an answering machine and her coworkers were laughing at my expense and then I just went completely nutbar, I was really over the edge by then. I was demanding the name and employee numbers of the girls who had been playing practical jokes on unsuspecting callers so that I could file a complaint with consumer affairs. I also told him I work for the LA Times as a journalist (which I do) and that what the employee did to me will be sprawled all over the paper this week and that I wanted his name and employee number to add to the article. At that point he was like, well let me see what I can do. He placed me on hold and came back and said "I'm going to process your order personally and assure you get your phone." He kept me on the phone and wanted to make sure I got the shipping email and within a few minutes I did
[Nexus 4 General] CaspaTheGhost:
I'll start as I did on the UK thread...

Woohoo!

Just got my shipping email, seems like the UK 3-5 day and 1-2 week estimates are going through!

Mine is a 16GB ordered 4th Dec at 17:09 - UK order obviously.

Hang in there guys, there's light at the end of the tunnel!
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
LOL man. I wish I had that courage. Just owned, nothing else.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
My response from the manager who I've been speaking with regarding my rma. He had said on Friday he was "working on getting my device pushed to me". It has now turned in to "no updates, it'll ship when it ships". I'm completely flabbergasted that they find this an acceptable answer for someone waiting on a rma for 2 weeks. I would rather he not give me updates like this, they actually just infuriate me more.

[Nexus 4 General] Tone-Fu:
Had one in my cart the minute the 'Add to cart' button appeared, tried to check out, gone. Tried a further 5 times, each time the Google Wallet box b0rked and left me with an empty cart. Now it appears they're all gone.

Well done, Google. Another device launch turned into a damp squib.

I couldnt order the 16gb always an error when I want to complete? Now is coming soon status again?!

So I've seen loads of UK Dec 4th orders on this thread with order times of 17:06, mine included so here's hoping. What estimate were you given?
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
I'm still awaiting my second order but it was put in on December 5th so I don't have a right to call and go HAM at this point, I'm just waiting patiently. I did receive an update this morning saying that my phone will ship by Wednesday night Dec 19th at the lastest, so we'll see. I hope you get some good new soon!
[Nexus 4 General] joeski27:
Ha, only about 5 days :p

What sucks is all I really need is an earpiece speaker assembly, and at this point I'd be willing to buy someone's bricked/broken/shattered/otherwise unusable N4 really cheap for parts. Then I can just switch out the earpiece speaker and mine should be good to go.

---------- Post added at 02:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

Which one, your 8bg or 16gb?
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
I am waiting patiently aswell, but it makes me mad when I see people ordering on the 13th dec just seconds after me and getting their shipping confirmation already. Its just depressing :/
[Nexus 4 General] drdeathley:

[Nexus 4 General] jakejm79:
I'm pretty sure once he gets replacements and 'finds' the old phones he will be selling them rather than returning them to Google. Requesting RMAs on perfectly good phones to jump to the front of the line and not have to deal with the sold out problem.

Both.
[Nexus 4 General] CaspaTheGhost:
1-2 weeks mate.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
I know. I'm sorry hon! If it's any consolation, supposedly the Nov 13th orders are all being processed this week so you should receive shipping confirm anytime this week. I hope you hear something soon!
[Nexus 4 General] jakejm79:
Why just not send it to LG for a free warranty repair if that is all that's needed. They seem to be turning repairs around within a week or so.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Thing is, you don't get jumped to the front of the line with rma's..(normally there is no wait) I actually think we get jumped to the way back. Or at least it seems that way. Normally you don't wait for rma's because the stock is different. Since they are out of rma stock they are treating it like the regular orders.

---------- Post added at 02:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

Hey 5 days is 5 days, you should have already received it according to google at the time the rma was placed, like they told me, rep said "2-5 days since rma has different stock". I've been scouring the web for the speaker, NADA :/
[Nexus 4 General] jakejm79:
I know that is how it is now, but also currently you can't place an order through the play store, so at least by requesting an RMA you are assured of getting one once stock is available and not have to sit and watch the play store. Also I assume some of the in bound shipments is assigned as a RMA batch.

Aaaah, ok, I understand what you meant now.
[Nexus 4 General] thanamesjames:
Through scanning the last 20 pages or so, it seems like the 8GBs that were shipped today were all part of combo orders - in that they were typically ordered with a 16GB as well. Can anyone comment on having an 8GB ship today individually? If so can you include the time you originally ordered and whether Play Store ever updated your order date :fingers-crossed: Thanks!

My order was pretty early... within the first 40 mins, but my order date never changed, and nothing has updated except the move from pending to pre-ordered. 1x 8GB - November 27, 2012 12:37:19 PM PST

Edit: Also, could everyone ppleeassseee include whether they ordered an 8GB or 16GB when they post a shipping success? I want to go through and ask every single person who doesn't list what they ordered if they got an 8, haha.
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Just got a tracking update. Origin scan, 1:40 PM, Louisville, KY. 2ND day air.

Please God, let it be a decent unit. I can deal with some light bleed. I just need a halfway decent speaker and for it to work.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on Nov. 13th. Still waiting.

[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I think he already sold them or plans to and is trying to scam 2 more phones and skip the wait for more stock like u said . I mean come how the hell to misplace 2 N4's he hasn't responded to anything since. SCAMMER
[Nexus 4 General] oasis9389:
I love calling up the CSR's and giving them a hard time for shipping things out order and them proclaiming they aren't, then explaining to them its 2012 not 1970, people have a way of communicating over the internet these days.. just so aggravating..

I have to say though, they did spend a good amount of time training these CSRs (or they are outsourced) b/c they stick to the script every single time. No matter what I say I can't get anything but a canned remark out of them.
[Nexus 4 General] James.UBC:
you guys might want to be more careful about shipping times next time next year.

the whole system gets pretty bogged down during holiday season
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
Well I guess I should try to go crazy on the phone then. I guess i've been to nice to them. So far i've been unable to get anywhere. :/
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Is this your rma?
[Nexus 4 General] kolokot:
I understand your anger very well. I was so mad myself when others were getting their phones and I was told by CSR that no such things like "express" shipping existed and that the delivery notices must have been photo shopped. I figured though that one or two could have been just hoax but so many? Tried to order three times and it worked when least expected. However, my anger was not directed at those getting the phones but at Google which allowed it. Sorry if I have disturbed you.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Hey gorgeous, you ever think of doing the one year warranty through LG in Texas instead of the RMA through Google? It might come quicker.
[Nexus 4 General] dkotoric:
Anyone with RMA receiving tracking info
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Aaaaw shucks :)

I actually just started thinking about it when I saw it suggested here to someone else a little bit ago. It might not be a bad idea, huh? I've sent my sensation in to htc a few times for dust under the screen and they were fabulous....can't say I have that much confidence in lg though. I may give it another week for Google, I think once I hit the 4 week mark it'll be time to go a different route. Thanks for the suggestion!
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
That don't actually work for Google. Google out sources the customer service to a call center in Utah (for the USA) and they answer calls there for more than just Google. I bet they don't renew their contract with Google when the contract is up lol:what:
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Sorry I didn't see that someone suggested it earlier. I do have a job, yanno ;)
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
My Dirtylilamishamster I think u should if u don't hear something this week. Maybe call and see how much a replacement speaker is.
[Nexus 4 General] kolokot:
You guys are worrying me now. Wonder how many N4's are defective. Google never fails in keeping you on your toes.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Negative.

---------- Post added at 03:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Do you know how long it took me to stop laughing after that comment? A long time....

I read the the n4 is a 8 out 10 for self repairs being easy. If I could get speakers I would rather do it myself than ship it off to LG. LG would replace it for free though, no? Or do you mean call around and try and find speakers? Thanks for the suggestion!

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

No, they didn't suggest it to me, to someone else! And you need to prioritize, helping me is first, then the thread, then work.

[Nexus 4 General] Eric-1987:
Just emailed google and talked to a CSR/Supervisor as to why other people are receiving their orders first.I also brought up that people have ordered back in november and have not received their orders. I would not be upset but all these people getting their phone first is dumb. Its still happening after the apology!
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
At this point LG is your best bet I looked around at lunch for replacement speakers for u but no such luck at this point. Ill keep on looking but if I was u I would wait this week out cause its free with the RMA but if it takes any longer I would take things into my own hands. Also don't trust anything the CSR"s say as far as how long it will take to get your RMA cause they are always wrong.

;) yea new York dirty comes first
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
I am a 8GB buyer too (only a single 8GB), and I haven't heard diddly squat from Google yet. My order is still sitting at Nov 27th, nothing has changed.
[Nexus 4 General] mahoney1978:
For what I post now - I apologise. Original 8gb ordered on the 27th Nov. No news on this one. Crazy order for an 8gb last Wednesday (yep....crazy! via a saved page on my blackberry - it let the order go through!! and that got shipping this morning).

[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Wow brother I remember u posting this. U straight Googled Google. Good show old man good show;) congrats
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Aaaaw! Thanks! Yeah I've looking for speakers too but just can't find anything. Even trying to find a n4 for parts is impossible on Ebay. Since there is nothing else wrong with my phone, no yellow tint, dead pixels, I have a tiny bit of light bleed on the black google start up screen but that's nothing, I would rather keep it and try to repair it myself...and I don't think I'm comfy with lg working on it. Meh....we'll see how this week goes. And thank you so much for looking for me!!!! You're the bestest!

I don't trust anything the reps or managers say, everything they have told me has been lies, except that the rma's are back ordered...lol that's true.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Hey I got stuck ordering a 8gb cause of the confusion on launch day and to be honest with u I would rather have a 16gb but actually I'm pleasantly surprised on how much a 8gb holds without all the bloatware. I just cant save all kinds of nonsense on my phone and I save all my pictures on box.com 50gb of free storage for life. Chump:mad:

Was your order status changed to "pre-ordered" and the time thing on the play store (not google wallet) changed from 4th December to 15th by any chance? I'm from UK and also ordered a 16GB on the 4th at 17:10, still no word about shipping and not been charged yet.:(

[Nexus 4 General] jakejm79:
Someone in the Q&A section recently sent theirs in for a screen replacement, was returned quickly and in working order, albeit with a strange version of Android on it. If you aren't using it, I would send it to LG and see if you get it back in great shape then cancel the RMA, if it comes back after the RMA then return it back to Google.

[Nexus 4 General] slyfoxy12:
I'm in the 1-2 weeks 16GB Model UK lot from 4th December (5:09pm Purchase Time for those counting) still not received a shipping email yet, but I do have a transaction going through (not showing on my statement of course) from Google as I noticed quite a big amount of money being withheld on my account and then I called up my bank and they confirmed the amount and that it was Google.

Now the question is, anyone want to hazard a guess as to how some have products shipping, e.g. is Google waiting on the payment to finalize on my card or are they going down a list and they just haven't gotten to me yet?

Would love any opinion or speculation on this, I don't know how companies act, I'm pretty sure the transaction was started on around Saturday (hence the pre-order change to the 15th maybe?) but usually transactions go through pretty quick for me so I'm guessing it's Google who have held the funds in limbo until they can deliver?

Either way, slightly brighter news for me, won't stop me constantly checking for changes though!
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
If I had to guess I would say your order will ship very soon as in probably tomorrow or sometime this week. Good luck
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
$240? Ppfft. He's on crack. Thanks though.
[Nexus 4 General] aindow:
Ordered at 17:01 on 4/12/12 and my order date changed to 15/12/12 yesterday. Emailed play store and got a standard response saying it'll be shipped on 19/12/12 and apologising for the delay. I replied to the email, got a refund of my shipping cost (whether or not they give this to everyone or not, I'm still not sure). I've since had a shipping mail saying it was shipped today!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
*runs to check emails*
[Nexus 4 General] rossketeer:
A friend of mine who ordered at exactly the same time just got his shipping confirmation. I guess they have to keep checking the money is there before they ship it, then it will leave your account once shipped.

I ordered 6pm 4th Dec, its 4-5 weeks, so not holding my breath.
