****ing love this explanation. Man algebra is something I ran away from my whole life and it came back to me this year in college. I've managed to dodge math for 10 years. Found loopholes in the system, passed my way through. But this time. I'm starting to get pissed off on why I dodged it. Math is everywhere!!! Calculating how fast my fingers are moving across this screen is math. How fast my fingers moving through air, creating wind, why I'm standing up. What angle I'm sitting down. ****ing math. Love it but hate it.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
This is what I'm here for, guys. To entertain you and sob over a glass of Scotch. Which reminds me, I'm trying to quit smoking (bad week, I know) so I bought some Nicorette. I open the package and on each and every piece of gum is a stamp of "N4". Walked right back in and bought a pack of cigarettes.

Bhaaaaaahaaaaa!!!!!!! Chantix. Miracle drug. Try it.

That's what I hear and I can get it for free from the VA but my girlfriend smokes as well and she can't get it for free which ****s up my ****. Plus, those "suicidal thoughts" in the ads really freak me the **** out. Especially with, you know, limbo. This **** doesn't depress me, but I can see Chantix pushing me to that point.

My experience with Google is summed up in a little video I made that I'm trying to get to go to viral so Google wakes the **** up.

[Nexus 4 General] DarksideEE7:
I've all but given up on the Nexus 4....in fact I almost cancelled my order today to buy a Samsung 40" HDTV. It was about the same price. I persevered with the help of Planetside 2.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Omg, you're killing me. Those suicidal thoughts are only for the people who have mental health issues like bi polar, schizophrenia, etc....only thing you'll probably go through is very vivid dreams, and you'll be sick the first week with nausea...but if you eat with it you'll fine. The girl can take it too...you guys can split it and root eachother on :)
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
It's just convoluted, especially when the unlocked phone philosophy still hasn't quite caught on. $300 is quite a bit to spend when you consider TMo will have it for $199 on contract. Adding a line for 2-year gets them the GSIII for $99.. GSII for $0... those sound more apropos for buying your kid. So does the iPhone 4S at $199 (5), $99 (4S), and $0 (4)

Lets just be realistic, Nexus is not where these people will go. I still think we're wildly overestimating demand compared to other phones and their pricing for new contracts.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Math is the language of life. I love it too, but once you get up to calculus in the 3rd dimension it becomes hard for me to sort the equations. I'm kind of a rock. If I ever became a math teacher, I'd play a couple clips from that old show Numb3rs just to show how what they are learning now matters in the long run. Teachers don't do a good job explaining why math is so important. It's too abstract to just teach the mechanics and expect people to care.

About the cigs... try an E-Cig. Might not get you off nicotine right away but you will take the cancer part out of the equation (though not the side effects of nic itself, which is NOT a carcinogen) from the nitrosamines and just inhalation of combusted carbon. It hits kind of like a hookah when you think about it. Anyway... back on topic a little.

Nevermind... ran out of things to speculate about. Tomorrow will tell if any of this is true.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I just made a list of Pros and Cons. Pro list had one thing, "I like it?" I cold turkey'd and haven't had a drag in 9 years. When you WANT to, it's easy.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Yeah but she would have to pay for it and she makes very little as a dog groomer. Both of us really want to quit, especially so I can start working our again to fit into my Ezio costume better. For those of you who have never tried to quit smoking, it's about as hard as trying to start flossing. (RIP Mitch)
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
I smoke on e-cigarettes now... Way better.. No smell or fire.. Straight nicotine and vapor. Fun too. It lasts for weeks too. Just one. The **** f nicotine is like 25%...you'll only hit on it like 5-20 times in a day. Not chained either. Plus it's a LOT cheaper.
[Nexus 4 General] netsyd:
Buy electronic cigarettes. Get an EGO C-Twist, some decent clearomizers, and ejuice. You wont want to smoke and you'll spend a fraction of what you do on real smokes.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
I've tried it, couldn't stick with it. The problem with it is you don't know when to stop taking drags because it never goes out. Plus, I'm not an oral fixation guy, I enjoy the feeling of holding the cigarette (which there is a HUGE difference between the two) and the feeling of inhaling, which is very similar to hookah but I don't want a hookah when I want a cigarette.

I've tried it on multiple occasions and I end up on a stimulant binge once I give in. I'm talking pots of coffee and about a pack of cigarettes over the course of a few hours.

On a side note, I'm laying next to my girlfriend and she's grooming dogs in her sleep, she's yelling at one for being fussy.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Oh I'm sorry, I missed the part about her wanting to quit too. Yeah, that won't work when one quits and the other doesn't. If I didn't already use up my limit of prescriptions for the 12th month period I would totally send you guys a supply :( Good luck! You can do it! :)
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
I think if I'm going to do Chantix and she's as serious about quitting as I am, I'll just split the cost of it with her. Smoking is costing us close to $200 a month and that precious video game money.

Btw are we all waiting until midnight?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Dude, imagine how many games that could buy on a Steam sale... it's nearly incalculable.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Seriously, you guys could get away with cutting the 1mg pills in half and splitting them. 1mg was waaaay too much for me, and it only took 1 month and I was done, which left a lot of extra packs. I split mine with a friend....we did fine. Both quit.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Have you seen the website that lets you calculate the approximate money you've spent on Steam? Holy ****, it's kind of depressing to see...

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:27 AM ----------

That gives me a good idea because the ladies at the VA love me, I could see if they could hook me up with two to four months worth of it at a time, that way we could just split the doses between us. Genius!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I'm telling you....it doesn't take long for those pills to work, it's almost instant...well, 1 week for me and they started tasting like crap. You'll be amazed! You will have left over packs. And tell the GF not to freak, she will gain weight but in 6 months your metabolism starts working again and she'll lose it all.
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
My mannnn. Thanks. Was watching the documentary "men who built ameroca" and it's all about JP Morgan, Edison and Tesla. Those guys man. Those ****ing guys. Thanks I've actually took a couple electromechanical classes and said **** it. Oh mannn
[Nexus 4 General] giblesnot:
I totally approve of this strategy, but as crazy as it sounds I would get kids to read Einstein's general theory to get them interested in math. (The specific theory is crazy hard math to follow buy the general theory is pretty easy.)

I've been reading this thread since the 13th and I'm just now posting... LL3 and completely phone-less (HP touchpad is by only device).
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Thanks Dirty, but back on topic. Who's excited to get their Nexus 4 within 2 weeks? Rest assured that you will enjoy it! ¬_¬

Now back off topic. Anyone else use SwiftKey? It's pretty funny the **** that comes up if you just spam space bar. Example:

I did paperwork for the heroes so no one else is going to be able to prove if these are just myths of actual historical events, but it is important to remember the impact these stories have.Item not supported Works Cited Cargill, Robert R., Ph.D. " Forget About Noah’s Ark ; There Was No Worldwide Flood. " (at this point it is pulling data from a paper I have saved in Google Docs).

Ridiculous ****.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
You have no idea how excited I am...I love new phones! I'm addicted to unboxing.

Never used swiftkey but use SlideIt, that comes up with craziness sometimes too. And you're welcome.

Signing off for the night... wife is still out shopping so I'll have to wake up with the kids in 4 hours.

BTW, +1 On the eGO c-twist. I can give WhenBearsReign some good websites and a nice setup. I think I might spend $300 a year on e-cig stuff if I'm not going crazy buying mods and trying out all kinds of juices. I've been e-cigging for about 5 years now. They have come a long way, and everything Blade said is true! I'm vaping my e-Go c Twist at 4.6V with a 1.8ohm 3mL tank carto right now! See you all in the AM.

Remember when everybody got together and sent flowers to that legislator that was trying to ban the sale of m rated games? We should make 100,000,000 origami pitch forks to mail to Google HQ. We can mail them in our nexus 4 non- packaging shipping material (the outside box) with a printed copy of every email they have sent (play store emails + back offer emails where applicable.)
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I think this calls for a link. I wish I could buy all these.. but I'd settle for Einstein, Oppenheimer, Hawking, Dawkins, and Tesla.. grrrr.. I keep adding more in my head!!!

Heroes of Science Action Figures
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Or print the emails and fold each and every one into a pitchfork. I like the way you think, though.

You know, I got 9 response emails today throughout the whole day. They were copypastas of the same thing with no name, it's like Google was trying to troll me for calling >5 times a day. Assholes.

And rightly so. Edison may have used electricity, but Tesla understood electricity.
[Nexus 4 General] erikieperikie:
Wrong:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SI_base_unit

Those are SI units.

Tesla is an SI derived unit.

André-Marie Ampère and William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin are the only two people with an SI unit named after them.

And now back on topic!

Any new info on when new orders will be taken?
[Nexus 4 General] DarksideEE7:
Out of the scientists he mentioned, Tesla was the only one with a unit named after him. I never specified it as a base unit. I graduate with an EE degree in 6 months, pretty sure I know the difference between a base and derived unit :laugh:

So either everyone is out shopping or sleeping. Either one. What if I said I just got a email shipping confirmation? A jump start? ****ing people starting to skip lines? Nahhhhh not on my check.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
When I ordered this I was sooooo excited, making sure I got my order in quickly, looking for reviews, watching videos, looking for product accessories etc

But now after a week and half of utter bull****, I'm not as excited for my phone as I should be.

Google have totally ruined this experience for me, I now feel more like 'something Ive ordered will come when it comes,' and have completely lost the urge to go watch videos, read reviews etc on this phone.

Apart from actually waiting for dispatch, I've kinda now forgot all about this phone.

I'm sure I'll get that feeling of excitement for the phone again when it gets shipped, but until then, the excitement has gone for me.

I'm even considering cancelling which I thought I'd never even consider (can't see me doing this to be honest, but it has crossed my mind at least) , as by the time I receive this, they will probably announce a 32gb model as coming soon.

4king Google!
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
i hope that a new wave of shipping emails will arrive monday morning, covering all LL3s, with the phone back in stock for people like me, who are getting tired of hitting f5 on the playstore page. I would accept the 2-3 weeks shipping time, just to place my order
[Nexus 4 General] csteinle:
I ordered a Nexus 10 on Wednesday with the 2-3 weeks shipping time. It arrived yesterday. The estimates are all over the place.
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidMilos:
Ya, same here. In fact, in one of my previous posts I had mentioned the same thing and I had pointed out to a Nexus 7 instead of Nexus 4. So it seems like I really had forgotten about the Nexus 4 excitement. And I pondered also about cancelling but decided not to and just let it happen. Interesting point though in "Engadget" this am where they had actually activated LTE somewhere on the nexus 4!! So much for no antenna or now power amplifiers eh. It seems that can even activate the LTE band for upcoming Tmobile LTE!!, but not ATT. That may be a plus if so and might get ya more excited for this phone?. Still, did nothing for me. Oh well.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
this makes me more impatient :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] expl0it4:
Ditto. I've still got my gnex and 4.2 seems to be a cluster ****. Yet I don't cancel.

[Nexus 4 General] TamaleJohnson:
As I sit here in my quiet little bathroom, and pass the remains of the holiday away; I've decided to finally post in this thread that I've practically stalked since page 1. I am most definitely not in Limbo at all, I'm one of the masses that got their hopes destroyed by not getting an order placed. I waited up all night on the 12th, had a Nexus 4 in my cart, and had it tossed out numerous times. The god damn order wouldn't complete, so I sat there fighting with it for 2 whole hours. I finally called it quits after I contacted a Google CSR, and he stated there was no phone in my cart, or pending order on my account. I've been pretty bummed out by this whole experience. Yes the T-Mobile near my house has them in stock, but that's entirely defeating the purpose for me. I just switched from Verizon over to T-Mobile with my girlfriend because they offered a better deal, and better service. I had to break my contract with Verizon, which I sold my Gnex to cover. So I broke even with Verizon, snagged a Note II as my ladyfriend's Christmas gift, and I was rocking a G2. I had to switch from the G2 to a Nexus One, and it's falling apart as I use it. I don't want to pay over the retail price for this phone, but believe me.. I've been tempted. I just can't afford to do this though, which entirely defeats the purpose of this awesome product Google once offered. The bottom line though for this post is just to say that I feel bad for you folks. This whole fiasco is quite disappointing, especially since I promote/hype/worship the mighty Google to everyone I know(I know a ton of iSheep), and they haven't come out to apologize to you guys, or let potential customers what to expect. Here's to hoping we get some news soon...

TL;DR: I feel for you folks, and I hope that you get your devices damn soon. Google better do you guys right, and ship your orders prior to new ones being offered; if they don't it's just going to look even worse on their part. Then let people like myself know when I finally snag one before I buy a non-Nexus device, and that's what I definitely don't want.
[Nexus 4 General] cityheadache:
LL3 here in the UK.

I've gone on a internet shopping rampage thanks to Black Friday deals and the Steam sale. Keep forgetting half the money in my account is reserved for when Google finally re-charge me. Hurry up and take my money!
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
Steam sale for me too.

Although I'm waiting for the winter one.

Picked up 3 games yesterday :)

Still only tried 1 of them.... Lol
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Thanks for reminding us - as much as we scream and kick we DO have a date of within 3 weeks to receive our phones. I fell bad for you guys that got dumped out of the system with nothing and no hope for the forseeable future. As was discussed earlier the three week delay must mean they are being sent over in a ship container. Hopefully that means lots of phones and the orders will open up again. I would not be surprised if once the shipment comes in they immediately fill back orders and then open the store again and fill those orders. You could possible have your phone just days after we get ours. Hang in there and good luck.
[Nexus 4 General] cityheadache:
Haha I know right. My backlog currently stands at around 120 games but I can't resist a bargain. Picked up Skyrim and Dishonored for a tenner each today. Probably won't have time to play them until Christmas...
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
Unfortunately it appears he will have it before us since it looks like Google is going to be selling their new stock before fulfilling backorders once again.

The nexus 7 was not the same. Didn't it take days to sell out? There were no ordering problems, etc? The only issue was some were back ordered but most did not have to wait long at all I believe though I could be wrong.

Nexus 7 had preorders taken quite a while before it went on sale. There were people who ordered a good 10 days or more later who got it straight away while those that preordered were still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
This is what I've been saying all along. I'm going to be back here at 10:30 and 11:30 to check on the Play Store just in case they pull that crap. What's another $380 in my cart when I can just sell the back ordered one for $600... just kidding, but I will be selling it at cost.

Check at 1030, 11, 1130, and 12EST. If there's nothing up by then, well then they probably aren't putting it back on sale. They honestly could get in a shipment late afternoon PST like on Monday. If nothing happens today, I'd say there's a good chance they will on "cyber monday." They have to do SOMETHING before the Christmas holiday.
[Nexus 4 General] slind:
I've been assured that swap devices to replace defective units are handed seperately and available. Three employees promised be that I'll have the device by tomorrow at the latest.

Guess how it turned out? "Oh we are sorry, we just found out that we told 'ya a bunch of crappy lies, as you now have to wait four (!) weeks to get your freakin' defective unit replaced."

Sry guys, but this company is pathetic and you should not believe a single word they either mail or tell you on the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] xdviper:
That's what I'm worried about. If that's the case, I'm going to order another phone just to be on the safe side in case our back ordered orders get pushed again. But I really want to sleep also. I'm checking at 1130 and 12. If not by then, then I should and hopefully be safe
