Dec 8th 1x16GB just updated to Dec 28 WOOOOOOOOOOOO

edit: and charged.
[Nexus 4 General] psxpaul:
I ordered an 8GB Nexus 4 right at noon on November 27th. Google Wallet actually shows the order date as "November 27, 2012 11:59:34 AM UTC-8". I have not seen any updates in either Play or Wallet. Wtf?
[Nexus 4 General] ryan_chandl:
Mine also changed to 28th, card charged. It's coming!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] akashvani:
Ok, something is moving. My Dec 8 order for 16GB got updated with Dec 28 now and I see pending charge in my credit card account.

Don't know if it means the shipping date will be before Jan 23, but good see some movement.

Have you ever been so happy to see close to $400 charge on your Credit Card :)

Just ordered MicroSIM card from T-Mobile. My current T-Mobile phone is a Galaxy Exhibit and has a regular sized SIM. So I'll have to transfer my phone number to the new MicroSIM once I get the phone. Just in case i'll have to revert back to old phone for a temporary period of time, I also ordered a MicroSIM adapter from newegg for $1.

About UPS shipping: UPS does have Saturday shipping service but it is more expensive than M-F shipping. So it depends on the shipper if they choose the Saturday delivery option. I have signed up for MyUPS and has found it very convenient. Once I get shipping email, will have mine held at the nearby UPS store or at their warehouse.
[Nexus 4 General] chinthekng:
YES!!!!!!!! my Dec 6th order just changed to the 28th too. Awesome :fingers-crossed: :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] soldierblue348:
Zero movement on my 12/1 order. But then again it might be cancelled, the Google CSRs can't tell. Ugh.
[Nexus 4 General] yuxiang:
Dec 13th order had 2nd cc charge but no shipping info yet. I can smell it coming...!
[Nexus 4 General] synace:
Nov 27th 3:47PM EST, 2x8GB ordered

[Nexus 4 General] jody04c:
Nexus 4 dispatch confirmation at 04.34 this morning. Finally on route but must say im happy as 3 weeks ahead of delivery estimate!!! Samsung Galaxy S 3 on Ebay and impatiently awaiting delivery!! WOOO HOOO!!!! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] magen1:
Nooooooooooo whyyyyyy???

They declined my order cause no money on the CC

When I ordered the CC was full, after it they frozed 350$ but now what happen?

I'm out now, have to call google/mastercard

Cry cry cry cry cry cry

Why google don't allow paypal!!
[Nexus 4 General] Dimitri246:
Just to be clear

So just to be clear and not get my hopes up, Order changing to Dec 28th, means that it's about to be on it's way out? Is that the pattern people have been experiencing? I order change and then shipping notification, then sheer bliss leading you to slap your UPS delivery person on the rear causing an exchange of awkward looks?
[Nexus 4 General] bizmark03:
Same with my Dec 9th order, cc charged again, but no change in status on google play and google wallet.

EDIT: Oh yes, the order date has also changed to Dec 28, but the status is still "Pre-ordered".
[Nexus 4 General] yuxiang:
Did yours in google play changed to dec 28? Mine did! Lets hope for some miracle email when i wake up. Its midnight over here!
[Nexus 4 General] jody04c:
My order had dispatch confirmed same day as Credit Card charged so expect an email shortly.
[Nexus 4 General] Gorthoss:
It appears so. Especially that last part. That might also explain why the UPS guy runs away before I can get to the door.
[Nexus 4 General] Advantageous:
Quick question:

I am also selling my S3, but am curious to how much you are selling yours for on Ebay.

:o
[Nexus 4 General] jody04c:
^^^^^^ Im a UK seller and always list them on no reserve on 5 day auction. I expect £300+ for 16GB device with 32GB SD card as they are making this at the moment so this should give you an idea.
[Nexus 4 General] delf0s:
How can you tell they declined your CC?? Did you recieve an email?
[Nexus 4 General] Dimitri246:
Thanks to you and Gorthoss. I'm now cautiously optimistic about my Dec. 2 order. I'm out of Thanks for today, but I'll come back around.
[Nexus 4 General] SteveRiley:
Got the dreaded yellow UPS box an hour ago. Now showing an origin scan, with delivery on Monday. Yippee!

Anyone wanna buy an HTC T-Mobile G2 that's in great shape, blemish-free screen, fully functional hinges?
[Nexus 4 General] magen1:
New status on the play store and wallet

Now I'm gonna call and shoot napalm everywere

Grrrrrrrr
[Nexus 4 General] delf0s:
What status does it say?? Declined??
[Nexus 4 General] jody04c:
Hope you get confirmation shortly. I've never looked forward to a new Android device as much as this one. I hope it doesn't disappoint! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] scandalousk:
Wow that was fast, I'm guessing you're in the USA?
[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:

[Nexus 4 General] runtmms:
n00b

I've been lurking for a while, but there's been movement on my USA orders so I thought I'd post.

16GB Dec 4

16GB Dec 10

16GB Dec 13

All three orders changed dates in the play store today to Dec 28th. They all got new pending charges on CC, none of them have changed to real charges yet. No shipping email.

Bad part is I only want two of the three (I couldn't help playing the Google lottery - I blame this thread - after each order I placed, later orders shipped...)

Does anyone know the magic way to get an order cancelled? Assuming these three ship is there anyone who wants the extra one - feel free to contact via pm.

[Nexus 4 General] thecj:
i think that google says that you can cancel your order before the next 15 days of get the phone
[Nexus 4 General] magen1:
>money on CC

>order

>no more money (process not appear in the movements table)

>order confirmed

>error:

Your payment can't be processed.

Dec 28 An attempt to charge $384.80 to MASTERCARD failed. You must update your payment information within 7 days or your order will be cancelled.

Dec 4 Google Inc. received your order.
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
I need a microsim. Should I call T-mobile now or wait for the phone to come? Can I go to the store to pick one up? How much will it cost?
[Nexus 4 General] thecj:
"if for any reason you do not wish to keep your Device, you have up to 15 days from the date the Device is delivered to you to cancel your purchase of the Device and your contract with Google. If you exercise your right of cancellation and the Device has been delivered to you, you are responsible for returning the Device as soon as possible and at your own cost.

[Nexus 4 General] Advantageous:
Awesome! Thank you.

[Nexus 4 General] Rogix89:
My order i placed on Dec 6 has just changed to Dec 28th Woot. My hopes have been lifted.

Nexus 4 16GB US

Good Luck to everyone, hopefully i can post a shipping confirmation soon.
[Nexus 4 General] rossketeer:
Ordered on 4th Dec at 18:38, changed to 24th Dec pre-ordered and just got the shipping email. UK that is.

Sent from my GT-P5110
[Nexus 4 General] StammesOpfer:
Just took care of it. Walked into the store and they asked for my account info and what phone it was for. (then they tried to tell me it came with one had to explain it was not through them) Anyway they just gave me the SIM for free and said i can call or activate online. I went to the website looks pretty easy to select which line and enter new sim card num.
[Nexus 4 General] akashvani:
Order on their website, much cheaper at only 99 cents with free shipping:

http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-phone/T-Mobile-Micro-SIM-Card-Activation-Kit

In their stores it costs $9.99 if you only want the MicroSIM. Of course it is free if you buy the phone from T-Mo at full price or sign up for a contract.
[Nexus 4 General] ReadyAct:
Yesterday after stumbling upon this site I decided to email Google regarding my order of a Nexus 4 16GB on Nov 28th @ 5:30 PM. Other than the initial order confirmation I had not received any correspondence from Google. Prior to emailing Google I noticed my order date changed to December 27th and placed on a pre-order status. After I emailed Google it was less than a minute later I received an email stating the the phones are shipped out in the order in which the order was placed and mine should ship by January 2nd. This morning I get an email stating my phone has shipped although my CC has not been charged. Upon entering the tracking number on the UPS website I noticed the delivery date changed from January 2nd to early morning Dec 31st.

Google has royally screwed this up as I truly believe that if I had not emailed them my phone would not have shipped. It appears that some of the orders from November 27th and 28th have been misplaced/misclassified. I encourage anyone who ordered their device in November if they have no heard a word from Google please send them an email. I tell you what this device better blow me away as I am planning this to be my last device purchase from Google as there are worse companies out there where I can go and be mistreated as a consumer, might as well spread the love around.
[Nexus 4 General] akashvani:
Thanks for this info. The guy in T-Mo store told me that the microSIM will cost $9.99 unless I sign up a contract.

Anyway, I just ordered one from T-Mo site for 99 cents and it should be delivered in 4-5 days. So I should have it by the time the phone is delivered.

If not then will go back to the T-mo store and tell him that they should give me a free MicroSIM.
[Nexus 4 General] B Dizzle:
Ordered on the 10th in USA and got a second charge on my account today. Hope I see some shipping info soon :D

Ordered 2x 16GB models - Order date is now December 28th
[Nexus 4 General] Wingnutt:
Dec 6th order here too, still says "pre-ordered" but date has been updated to the 28th, bank account has been charged.
[Nexus 4 General] The Bownz:
I just had this done too. Does that mean we're getting our phones soon? like, I just got super excited.
[Nexus 4 General] StammesOpfer:
I don't know if it matters but I am on a post-paid value plan not prepaid and it was a Corporate store not an authorized re-seller. Or maybe I just got lucky and they gave me one free when they weren't supposed too. I fully expect them to provide free sim cards though since that is how you access their network and they want you as a customer.
[Nexus 4 General] borntochill:
Wow. At the suddenly rapid pace Google is now fulfilling its back orders, it wouldn't surprise me if they soon begin accepting new N4 orders again.
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Changed from 6/12 to 28/12 today! Oh man, I can't wait. I have no idea what it means but it certainly isn't bad.
[Nexus 4 General] B Dizzle:
I am guessing that January 2nd will be a good day for those waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] Rogix89:
Same here my account has been charged along with the date change. So fingers crossed.
[Nexus 4 General] StammesOpfer:
My guess is they were just being conservative with the numbers they allowed for each window. As they finish the 4-5 week group the overages can fill the beginning of the 6-7 week people. But I wouldn't expect to see 8gb models for some time still.
[Nexus 4 General] rsf2:
Same for me as well! Ordered Dec 9th, 16GB. Excited would be an understatement! :victory::fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
I plan on going the DIY route*, cutting my old sim down to size. Doesn't seem like it'll be too hard, and it'll save me from messing about with at&t

*I take no responsibility if any of you attempt the same and muck it up.

These technically are not what Google classifies as back orders. People with back orders receive "back order" emails and ordered with expectation of shipping earlier than Google could fulfill. Currently they are fulfilling pre-orders. Just to keep terminology consistent.

I also wouldn't get anyone's hopes up... lol
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
So many people have their order dates changed :D. How long do you guys think it'll take to ship the phones now? :D
[Nexus 4 General] SteveRiley:
A Nexus 4 with a card slot? I'll admit that I don't follow Nexus news every single day, but it seems such a development would be more widely known. Mind citing a source?
[Nexus 4 General] arpstorm:
Ditto. My Dec 12th order changed this morning to Dec 28th and the charge shows up on my card now as well. Considering all the "challenges" we've seen with the order and shipping process thus far, I'm going to try to just remain cautiously optimistic until I actually have the phone in-hand.

I'm definitely surprised that I'm seeing progress on an order that was a 6-7 week wait when I placed it. My Verizon contract isn't even up until mid-March. Maybe I'll use the next couple months to test both T-Mobile and AT&T's (via StraighTalk) networks and see who has the best coverage and fastest speeds around here before porting my number.

I've been lurking on this thread since I placed my order and it's definitely been helpful and informative. Thanks to everyone who has been sharing their experiences!
[Nexus 4 General] StammesOpfer:
It was in response to a question about a different phone
[Nexus 4 General] bruestle2:
I believe he is referring to a Galaxy S III.
[Nexus 4 General] superleeds27:
Ordered on the 4th, Shipped 27th.

Looking at tracking I get the following;

28 Dec 2012 19:52:15 LEEDS Held in Secure place

28 Dec 2012 19:52:15 LEEDS Held in Secure place

28 Dec 2012 18:42:01 LEEDS Receiver not home. Follow up action underway.

Although, im not actually in Leeds?
[Nexus 4 General] bmoke:
Dec 6th order here too, still says "pre-ordered" but date has been updated to the 28th. This is after the following:

In the last hour, I received an initial Google Wallet e-mail which said: Your order is on hold: Please update your credit card. It further said: An attempt to charge your AMEX xxx-1234 for $388.40 on Dec 28 failed. I have no reason why the card would have failed. So, I added a second card to my Wallet account and pointed to this second card as the on-line default card. Once I hit the enter key, the window closed and said thanks for updating the info. I did receive a second Wallet e-mail that said: You have successfully updated your payment information for Google Order #123456789123456. Google Inc. may now charge and fulfill your order. I called and checked the CC transaction activity and there is a charge authorized for the full amount of the purchase.
[Nexus 4 General] bizmark03:

That should clear things up for you
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
Is it possible that Leeds is where your nearest distribution centre is located? Would make sense.
[Nexus 4 General] SteveRiley:
Ah, I see that now. Must scroll back more before responding. Sorry!
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Order date changed but no authorization charge yet. Weird. Anyone else in a similar state?
[Nexus 4 General] Gorthoss:
Same thing here, once I get the phone I'll cut up my Straight Talk Sim so I don't have to buy another. Hopefully it isn't locked to my aria.
[Nexus 4 General] The Bownz:
I have one cut down in my phone, but I'm using the shell to keep it working in my normal sized sim-card phone from gophone

[Nexus 4 General] ap1618:
what's a "pre-authorization?"

CC charged but order date not changed.

how long between having the CC charged for the full amount and actual ship notification?
[Nexus 4 General] ibarra21:
3 of my friends said that they were also charged now, and they got an email about the shipping date I guess. They ordered like the last week of november, and apparently their shipping date now is 12/28.

Does this mean in a week or two, stock will be back? I want one :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Its when a company checks to make sure that u have money in your account to pay for an item and to make sure the account is real. The pre-authorization will fall off after a few days.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr Ian B:
It has to be within 15 days of placing the order. I called today to cancel my dec 8th order since I found a Nexus4 local and even though my delivery still 5 weeks away, she could not cancel and recommended to refuse delivery from shipper. I am thinking of calling my cc the week before and let them know to refuse approval from google merchant. Any thought??

Damn it, now my cc has been charged. Will have to go the way of refusing delivery.

[Nexus 4 General] 1337sause:

Monday y u no come faster?
[Nexus 4 General] The Bownz:
Right, It's possible google/lg could ship them tomorrow, monday, or tuesday, right? I mean. Tomorrows saturday, I don't know if they're open. Monday is new years eve, and tuesday is new years... I'd love to know mine's shipping before school (Wednesday)
[Nexus 4 General] jmcsk8:
I do not think they would be shipped from Google/LG on Sat. I know UPS has Sat delivery but only if you paid for it.

I do believe that they will be making deliveries on NYE but will not be on New Year's Day.
[Nexus 4 General] itsxiao:
that's funny cause when I wait at home all day for a package, they don't come. UPS likes to miss their own delivery trucks.
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
The product you receive has already been shipped from LG in batch and is more than likely being dispatched individually from UPS's fulfillment center. Someone shared their UPS tracking information and its origin is Louisville, the location of UPS's Worldport which only supports the point.

When it goes out is dependent on whether Google has a Saturday dispatch in their contract with UPS (I imagine they probably do), a point we'll soon find out tomorrow.

Other wise, yes. NYE but not NYD

So I ordered on the 3rd. 5-6 week window. Looks like they charged my card, but have not received any shipping info. Is there a specific wording for a charge by the seller rather than a hold? How long does it take for shipping info to go out if that is the case?
