Just received my 2 bumpers from Dec 11 and my order from Nov 27 945pm est 2 N4 16gb 4-5 week is processing and will ship today should have it on sat

Sent from my BAKED Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] adulel08:
wow ordered 6:30pm Nov 27 and they said eta is January 2nd.

I even mentioned ppl that ordered much later (dec 7-10) getting theirs already!

and they still said they ship based on when they receive the order, YEAH RIGHT Google! Yall suck at this.

should I order a 16GB now?
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
I also saw in some comments from one buyer someone said "phone arrived but does not have an IMEI" which is a clue that it's a clone. I was shocked that Nexus 4 clones were out already. I know that Galaxy S3 clones are out and I've even seen a very convincing Galaxy Note 2 clone. Some of the ebay buyers purchase the clones from china for about $150 then resell them as the real thing for $500 to $700. The sad thing is that the large majority of people will never know they have a clone cause like I said my friend's clone looked legit and even had an IMEI number but the number was fake. If you receive it, call Google to verify the IMEI number is real and that it is a real Nexus 4. If it's not, contact ebay, they have buyer protection. Hopefully you receive a legit one, there are obviously legit sellers on ebay but there are also many creeps passing off good clones so I just wanted to pass the word about geting Nexus 4s or other in demand smart phones in ebay, craigslist or anywhere else. The box looks legit, everything looks legit so "factory seal" doesn't necessarily mean it's legit. Be careful!

Everyone has been changed to "Pending" to "Preorder" which we have figured out is so that people who are sick of waiting can't cancel. Notice that you can cancel when in "pending" status but CANNOT cancel once in "preorder" status so it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why Google switched everyone from "pending" to "preorder.

You placed an order with Google Inc. on Nov 28. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to...

They said 2-3 weeks when I placed the order...nice to see them sticking to it!

What a great early Xmas present...and getting it in time to fiddle around over the weekend without the bother of having to work.
[Nexus 4 General] arizonamman:
Hence the reason to send it "Restricted Delivery" as it can only be signed by the person to whom it is addressed.

My concern is that all but the lowest of lowly managers will be gone for vacation probably beginning this Friday night. Many execs take the week before as well as the week after Christmas off.
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
Unfortunately I'm sure a good majority are clones because I click on a private seller and he has 70 in stock, yet TMobile and every other legit place has ZERO and Google limits 5 per customer so how can so many private eBay seller have 10, 20, etc in stock? I also went ahead and read comments of several sellers who had high ratings and even though buyers rated them highly, several mentioned that their phone didn't come with an IMEI, which is a big red flag.
[Nexus 4 General] imperialdibz:
I got the YBOD on 11/30, my phone was delivered on 12/6.
[Nexus 4 General] remister:
I took your advice. I called the hotline and wanted a status on my order. They stated that the card was declined a few times and that is why I was pushed back my order. The card was finally able to be charged. I told him nicely to see if they could advance my order as I ordered on 11/27 and people after me has your phone in hand already. He stated that a shipping email will be sent to me today. We will see if that is true. THANK ImHavenHart, for the advice!
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
Oh boy
[Nexus 4 General] arizonamman:

After One Month? Free PHONE! Chances are it will have to be returned anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
If someone missed out on bumpers eBay has a seller that has 10 in stock for $50. Not too bad, only $23 more than the play store.

Looks like they upped it to $58 best offer

[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
You're welcome! It worked for me so I just wanted to pass along what worked in hopes that it would work for other Nov 27 who have been left hanging. I hope you get your phone! Mine will be here tomorrow thankfully!
[Nexus 4 General] arizonamman:
Sorry, I already know that this is yet just another guess. My Nov 13 order is not today nor has it ever been in "pre-order." It has always been Pending.

Thanks a lot for the info..very helpful.Phone should be here in a couple of hours.

[Nexus 4 General] ciao99:
can you give me a mail address to contact? my order is the same
[Nexus 4 General] arizonamman:
NO WAY would I give them the F'ing pleasure! eBay is one the reasons we are still in limbo. The other reason is that Google did NOT limit # of phones to 1 address.
[Nexus 4 General] mahoney1978:
First time post... so go easy on me (please).

I ordered an 8gb on the 27th Nov like others with a 6-7 week delivery time. The usual pending/pre-order status changing and then something VERY strange happened.

When trying to order on the 27th November, I saved the web page from the play store in my blackberry (I had meetings and thought that I might get lucky ordering via my berry whilst out and about). During some downtime yesterday, I went into my work blackberry and found the saved page for the 8gb phone. I loaded the page and (cutting a long story short) it let me buy an 8gb yesterday with delivery time of 3-5 days?

The plot thickens... I have had the full charge taken off of my credit card and this was confirmed back to me when I spoke to Visa.

See attachment? It shows two orders for yesterday 13th December, but Google confirmed that only one of these

Strange but true.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
No...I'll cry if my downtown cries :'(
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
He seems legit. He sells a variety of items and did not seem to have more than 1 or two Nexus 4s which is good. I'm wary of private sellers that show 10 or more Nexus 4 in their stock, seems so fishy. Verify the IMEI number just to be safe.
[Nexus 4 General] rookiegenius:
Lol funny even a BUMPER is out of stock and it's freaking 50 on ebay.... I mean come on, even 20 bucks is a bit steep
[Nexus 4 General] BrothersFighting:
I've been nagging like crazy for the last 2 weeks about my 11/13 order trying to get it pushed through. Whats the trick
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Then don't give in to them u will win in the end. I'm sorry its taking so long but I'm guessing cause their was a huge number of defective units they ran out of RMa's fast.
[Nexus 4 General] NYCguy2020:
Yeah,he only had one N4 for sale.Hope it's legit.

Look at this guy..7 available, 1 sold... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-LG-N...1039834506?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item4abf771d8a
[Nexus 4 General] PapaDocta:
I told them that my friend has got his and he ordered a few days ago and also they have charged me twice with their authorization process.. But about my friend getting his before me i think did the trick.. Good luck

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

I used the contact center from help
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
Looks very fishy. Private seller yet has 7 Nexus 4 to sell. The limit is 5 per person. Even if he did use two separate accounts and credit cards to beat the 5 per person limit, why has he not posted ANY photos of the merchandise? He just used stocked photos from google instead of taking real photos of the Nexus 4s that he is selling. There's a good change he's selling clones. And as I mentioned, my friend received a super legit looking Nexus 4 that turned out to be a clone. So scary. Let us know when yours arrives. I much prefer sellers who only have 1 or 2 Nexus 4s for sell because that seems so much more plausible.
[Nexus 4 General] ciao99:
i have only a white page in help :/
[Nexus 4 General] adulel08:
wow I told them my friend ordered last week and got his already while I was on the 27th.

He said it was a glitch and Google had to follow through on the order.

But for me, who ordered 4-5 weeks, has to wait. He said he cant do nothing, and it will

ship at that time frame. SOOO Bull****!
[Nexus 4 General] kevroc:
Is there a better place to sell them instead of ebay? I hate paying their fees and am not looking to jack up the price, just decided I don't really want the phone anymore and don't feel like waiting for Google's 14 day return time to process the refund. I sent in a cancellation request yesterday as it hadn't shipped yet, and what do you know, got a shipment confirmation about 4 hours later. Great...

Thanks,

Kevin
[Nexus 4 General] NYCguy2020:
Craigslist or even xda.
[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
I sell all my phones via Craigslist, easy, no fee and super quick response. If its an in demand phone like the Nexus 4, you will have someone at your door with cash within an hour of posting in most cases. Especially if you're not jacking up the price. I recommend Craigslist. I don't like ebay. I'm not interested in going to the post office, standing in line for an hour and shipping something then worrying about them trying to return it or leaving bad feedback if they have buyers remorse. With Craigslist, it's like hey, I got a Nexus 4 16GB for $450, first come, first serve, cash in hand, meet me at Radio Shack (or wherever)....few minutes later and bam, peeps blowing up your phone to meet up. One and done. Dont have to worry about returns, shipping, fees and all that other crap.

Just make sure to meet INSIDE of a public place so that you don't get robbed and inspect the cash to make sure it's not counterfeit. A lot of people purchase expensive items like phones and computers with counterfeit cash from unsuspecting Craigslist sellers, then they turn around and sell it for real cash while the seller is left with counterfeit bills. If you wanna be super safe have them meet up at a nearby bank that way when they give u the cash you can have the teller check it to make sure it's not counterfeit. Dont go anywhere with anyone for any reason or you risk getting robbed. Even if they ask you to go to the ATM with them so NO, they can go to the ATM and then meet you inside of the bank.
[Nexus 4 General] arizonamman:
Was just checking my CC account and the pending authorization has dropped. There are no new charges. I went back to Wallet and although this morning it was Pending, it is now pre-ordered.

[Nexus 4 General] Fishingsnow:
My story here:

Ordered 1x8GB and 2x16GB on Nov 27. Called in last Friday, the rep promised to ship it out by weekend.

Nothing happened. Called in on Monday, a supervisor refuses to admit rep's promise. I asked him to listen to the tape and he said system was busy. He promised to call me in 48 hours. He also claimed he never heard about some December orders shipped or anyone on Nov 27 shipped. He said I quote, "you are the first case I've ever heard".

After 48 hours, no call no email. Called in on Wednesday, another supervisor Chris admitted the rep delivered the wrong information. Promised to push my order to "specialists" and give me feedback by Thursday morning.

Nothing happened this morning. Called in again, spoke to the same supervisor Chris. He said he sent a request to the shipping dept, but no reply yet. He also said nothing he can do now, I will have to wait for the 6-7 weeks estimate.

Funny thing is, I asked him to ask the previous supervisor to apologize to me on yesterday, he said he will forward my request to the previous supervisor. I asked him about this request today, he said the other supervisor is off since yesterday. I asked Chris if he himself is the head of this department, he said yes (after 2 sec of silence). I asked if the previous supervisor is working under him, he said yes. I asked as the boss the previous supervisor, how come he doesn't know the schedule of the previous supervisor. He cannot answer this question, and said the truth is he doesn't know.

I am planning to call every hour since now and speak to a supervisor to check the status of my order. I also placed another other for 2x16GB this morning as a backup. After hearing so many successful December and Nov 27 stories, I suspect the 8GB one is the reason why it is still pending/pre-ordered. Hope this new order come through soon so I can cancel the Nov 27 one.
[Nexus 4 General] halfatwin:
I ordered on Nov 30, 8:39pm (EST). The status in google play changed from pending to pre-order.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I understand....just saying for those who really want one, don't want to wait, can spend the money, wants to give one as a gift, etc. It's the cheapest I've seen. Just passing it along :)
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
I've been waiting for that specialist to get back to me for 2 weeks. There are no specialists, thats just a "Get this person off the phone" tactic.

[Nexus 4 General] rock7632:

[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I'm just heated, well, was heated, I'm not anymore. It'll come when it comes. No more calling them, no more emails, no more going on the order page looking for something that changed. In the meantime I'll continue doing what I've been doing, using the phone with Bluetooth and at home with no sim on Wi-Fi. I'll live. I'm just lucky that I have other phones. It's always good to have a back up guys...you never know. Even if it's a flip phone.

Thanks downtown!!! *squishes*
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
Nope, its not an 8gb thing. My November 13th order is still non-existent as well as my December 5th 16gb order. There is no "reason" in this. Google, or at least their 3rd party support company hasn't the foggiest idea what's going on.

---------- Post added at 01:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------

[Nexus 4 General] ccgabe:
Same here.

I ordered Nov 28 around noon with 4-5 weeks and so far NOTHING.
[Nexus 4 General] billbradford:
It's insane what people are paying for the bumpers. I bought one along with my first N4 back in November, absolutely hated it, and replaced it with a TPU case as soon as I could. I mentioned on Reddit last week that I had one available, and out of the blue someone local offered me $40 for it. I'm happy (never set out to make a profit) and he's happy. Personally, I don't think the bumpers are worth more than $10.
[Nexus 4 General] Fidelio_o:
I try doing it from the store. I got very lucky found a guy on craigslist. Sold me a 16gb for 400 mint, had it a couple days. Didn't work on his corporate account or something. So 5 dollars more than the play store. Maybe you guys waiting should look the craigslist route. I know there are a couple out there in NYC.
[Nexus 4 General] ven4545:
im F**king pissed , i called support and they tell me my order is 6-7 weeks not 2-3 ,WAAAAAAAT?
[Nexus 4 General] BrothersFighting:
I'm right there with you LL2 from the 13th still hanging on. I had a csr earlier in the week tell me on the phone that bumpers are out of stock and I shouldn't have ordered one that is why my order hasn't shipped. I've had a few say my cc is invalid so I called my bank and they told me the authorization charge was accepted in Nov. nothing was ever declined and Google never tried to charge my card again. Supposedly now I have 3 "specialists" working diligently on my order to get it pushed through but that was on Monday. Anytime I've brought up hey my friend got theirs and they just ordered I get oh we're sorry to hear that.
[Nexus 4 General] gorint9:
So, after being in LL3 (and still in LL3 with my 11/13 order) I decided to order yesterday another N4 16GB and I just got the email that it shipped... WTF???? Just fyi, in case you want to give it a try. This was my fifth (or so) order on three separate gmail accounts...

My order pattern has been:

11/13 - still in limbo, no news, nothing

11/29 - order #2, canceled yesterday (12/12 because nothing was happening)

12/12 - three orders (#s 3-5) placed on 2 different accounts (2 canceled because I could not totally afford 5 phones)

12/13 - shipped email on gmail account #3 | UPS has a delivery date of tomorrow | no YBOD (surprisingly)

12/13 - talked to CS who said orders ship in the order they were place... uhu... sure...
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
I think I have the entire Google Play Specialist Team working on my account! It would have been easier for them to build me a freakin phone! lol Although there was some super secret information that they could not share with me due to security reasons about my order going through in a few days. Dude....I don't care about Super Secret clearance...just tell me when I am getting my phone! My infamous Pegasus that was to deliver my phone was shot and BBQd two weeks ago. lol

Well one can only hope they fix their 11/13 order meltdown.

oh yea just got my bumper. Sexy Nexy.
[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:
Well I got my bumper, definitely high quality (for a plastic bumper). The brushed plastic band has seams showing on all 4 corners which makes it look cheap, and the plastic is just pained (which means it will scratch eventually and it will be easy to notice as it is white underneath)

It has a thin layer of double sided tape along the left amend right side to keep the plastic and rubber together, once on the phone it won't peel apart.

The rubber is non sticky, almost like TPU but not as shiny. A nice material that wont make the phone get stuck in your pocket. It also has a textured pattern on it that adds to its industrial design.

Worth $20 ($27 after tax and shipping)? I'd say no, but I won't be crying about it. Its a good investment to protect the glass and I would recommend it.

Mind you all these observations were made without a phone, but they seem fairly accurate.

[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
Got my bumper today but am still waiting on the RMA device. Love the quality of the bumper compared to previous bumpers I have owned. It may be time to call Google concerning the RMA though.
[Nexus 4 General] Fishingsnow:
I think Google outsourced the play store customer service department to another company. Every time the follow-up email of my call has a different version of my name. I think those reps even cannot see the name of the customer.

Google used to be nice with its customers. Think about Nexus Q, Google screwed and offered free device to pre-order customers. But for Nexus 4, Google screwed so hard but nothing happened.

I am really disappointed. I am not asking for a free phone, not even a free bumper, I just want my Nov 27 order to be shipped before those who ordered on Dec 7.

don't notice the double sided tape that you're referring to but the case is nice. The only one worth getting IMO because it doesn't hide the back. Hopefully other 3rd party companies out there start making some. Only gripe with it is it makes the device feel much wider.
