Please just release it and let us ESTers go to sleep early. I already pulled an all nighter yesterday. Can't really handle another one.

On the other hand, I really should go grade the homework. It has been turned in for 2 weeks now.

I seemed to have missed the 16 gb in australia, and now the 8 gb is no longer "in stock". Ah well, my galaxy nexus is still going strong, so I can afford to wait and see if there are any launch hardware issues.

I'm pretty sure BLOPS 2 was able to ship $400 million worth of units the first day. Of course these are just "discs"...lol...

All of Seal Team 6 was suspended as well.

It's amazing I tell you. Both of you received your Nexus 4's or still waiting on day 8? How old are both of you, early 20's?
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
What is your problem? :) why do you need to know our age.
[Nexus 4 General] monzttr:
I sold my iphone 5 and moto atrix 4g in preparation for the nexus 4, the nexus went on sale while i was in a meeting, totally missed.

Now I am stuck with this old nokia 6010, doesn't even have t9, but the battery is great, I can get 4 days on a single charge.
[Nexus 4 General] qwahchees:
Does anyone know when they're opening the play store for orders? It's sad I didn't even get my order in..
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Nope. No one knows.
[Nexus 4 General] thos25:
well, I have been on and off this evening but I dont believe that there have been any reports of people getting their shipping notices. Or if there have been, certainly not to the extent that they were coming out last night.

I will have to conclude that I will not be getting my device tomorrow after all. I was pretty much assured yesterday evening that my order was scheduled to be shipped today and i would get it on Wed. Funny thing is that I spoke to 3 different reps who all said the same thing. They looked at my order, time it was placed, and whatever other info they had in their magic ball and said that they believed that my device was in fact shipping. Originally it was in a "chargeable loop" status or something to that effect. I was told that once he (Patrick) sent it to the shipping specialist to get it out of whatever the "loop status" was it would be set to ship. I didnt see any change after about 3 hours (told it should be around 30 minutes) and I called back. I spoke with Morgan who also said that the "loop status" was taken care of, but I couldnt see anything different on my end. However, she told me that it would almost definitely ship out today (11/20). I still didnt see anything even as late as this evening and spoke with Thomas around 9pm. he said that from what he can see my device shipped, but he didnt have any sort of tracking info. ?He told me he would give it around 85% chance that my order would be at my front door tomorrow (11/21).

In the mean time I did see that my estimated ship date changed, like most everyone elses. I was hoping that it would simply mean that we were "pending" a tracking number. I figured with all the shipping notices that went out last night throughout the late hours and into the early morning, it seemed plausible that we would get the shipping notice. I took a break for a bit and was hoping I would come back to a shipping notice, nope. I check XDA, no shipping notices being posted.

Interesting that apparently a UPS guy was on here though. Honestly I take what he has to say more seriously than what the Google CSR's are saying. The only part that doesnt make sense is the 17,000 number. If that is indeed true then Google is run by a bunch of idiots. For real, who would even bother putting it up for sale if they had 17,000 devices on hand. Hell, there are something like1,000 plus people just here on XDA alone that are still waiting on orders. I that number is legit, someone should be fired for even allowing it to go on sale.

And I know that a lot of peole will say that the Nexus devices aren't really marketed and the mainstream consumer doesnt know about them. Well, perhaps. But then again the Nexus 7 is selling a Million devices a month according to ASUS. Seems like plenty of people are out there learning about Nexus devices and willing to give them a shot. Why on God's green Earth would anyone at Google think that 17,000 was even close to enough units to have on hand for a launch?

Anyhow, rant over. Im going to bed. Im sure I will be in the same boat tomorrow as well. No Nexus 4 on the horizon. :(
[Nexus 4 General] qwahchees:
Is it ridiculous to say it could take months? I was getting things about before black Friday.

Should I just order off Negri? Do they have tax?
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
I asked about your Nexus 4 status AND age. Curious since you are both talking about a new game on the XBOX 360 which hit almost 1/2 billion in sales in a day (nothing like the N4), etc. You could be 45 for all I know. LOL. I think you should update us on your Nexus 4 status. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I thought you already know, which was why you seemed to be hinting at me to leave the thread? ( or stop posting in it )
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
Any more shipping info go out
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Doesn't seem like it...
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:

I juse got mail from Google, in response to one I sent 5(!) days ago

I'm in Limbo 2 BTW

This was my original mail (from the 16/11)

Hi
I would really like to know the status of my order
has it been shipped, or am I'm one of those who got postponed for three
weeks?
I would appreciate any info on this order.

and this is the response I got

Hi Omri,

Thank you for contacting Google Play support.

We've escalated your issue to specialists on our team and will perform a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the issue.

These investigations can take some time, but we sincerely appreciate your patience while we investigate for you.

Please don't hesitate to reply directly to this email if you have more information to add.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Because they probably only produce 5-10k a month. So the delay wasn't worth it.

Also, while people are discussing their current phones, I'll post this:

Scotch tape ftw?
[Nexus 4 General] kilolum:
assuming that each day of the given three week time frame is equally likely to be the shipping day, then there is a 6.66%... chance for most of us to get our order shipped tomorrow.(dont know if they ship on weekends. if they dont the chance is a little higher.)

that really is not a good chance i think :D

sorry for bad english.
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
that sucks cant wait for mine in the morning
[Nexus 4 General] cchap07:

[Nexus 4 General] funkyblue04:
Why does Google suck so much? Why do they ignore customers and Why can we not pre order?
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
i hope that no more in stock until 2013 is wrong
[Nexus 4 General] qwahchees:
I had so much respect for them too...
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Haha it's my current phone. Held together with some scotch tape. :laugh:

I think it's safe to say I never planned on using it again.
[Nexus 4 General] omrij:
But I never got any BO mail
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
They prolly added you to the BO then, apparently there's no more devices in stock.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Google ah Google. CSR told me that I should have received a shipping confirmation yesterday and that I am not on backorder. Oh yeah, she said that she's going to contact a specialist....
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
In order to add more to this thread and lift peoples hopes, here is what I have:

My order status in the Play Store updated from Pending on the 20th to Completed on the 15th.

So I should receive this one 16GB before next year. Who knew they'd be better off ordering off of eBay, CL, or from TMobile? Not me. I've seen the stock #'s.

For all of you getting your devices tomorrow, congrats.

This has been a complete experience in patience, humility, and awareness. I don't think I completed this level...

Happy thanksgiving everyone! Turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy. :) I'm a glutton for punishment.

[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
Not that a lot of people called in to Google or complained or anything, but I'd love to hear that call - or the 15 of them. Some of us didn't call once and I think it screwed us over. The more you complained to Google the more likely you were to get a device soon. So much trouble for something that you could have walked into TMobile, purchased, and walked out - or purchased online or via phone.

Google has much to learn it does. Nexus 4 launch good it wasn't. Upset people there are.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
no more stock until 2013???

and what are they producing? a futuristic bomb? :silly:

I think that if is not this week will be the next...limboers will get theri shipping confirmations...and the store will be back on stock
[Nexus 4 General] Shadowguy:
True im upset as well I want to wait but i dont like not knowing how long i have to wait.

I would be cool if we could atleast get a google tweet about the situation but they cant even do that.

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:38 AM ----------

The rate they are going I dont expect devices to be back in stock until late december early january to be honest.
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
Just watch what happens over the next 3 days.

White's are expected to hit on the 13th of December. I don't think those in limbo level 3 will be there for 3 weeks regardless of what anyone on here claiming to be from UPS or Google says - unless that is verified somehow.

LG and TMobile have a lot more experience than Google in launching phones and as much as people want to believe Google is in control, they are only in control of their fuc*up. LG is producing units and TMobile is selling them in stores.

I encourage everyone to sell this phone on eBay and get something else.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
But...the nexus 7 turned up in stock in 2 weeks. I mean....the only official statement of Google in these days was "It will be back in stock on coming weeks"...how it's possibile that this means "next year" :confused:

The producing process can't be so different then a nexus 7...and also...would they really fail in christmas time...losing other thousands of possible customers? i think no...it can't be so. I mean...it's just my hope, and so yours. I have to order it yet...and i'm becoming impatient :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] DarksideEE7:
I'm showing Pending (status changed to this today, I think)...I just called them and they told me it was in 'chargeable' status (even though it isn't according to my Play profile page). They also gave me the 'Specialist' line. They're so full of ****.

Oh yea, they will also contact me within 24-48 hours when they hear from the 'Specialist'.
[Nexus 4 General] Shadowguy:
You dont like the phone?
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Nope I'm in limbo 2 ordered at 9:08am PST. No back order email, got a confirmation email, and I am really starting to think I just missed the book email for some reason even though I ordered so early. I dunno I'm in It for the long haul I think and why not I still got my GS2 Skyrocket for now.

Sent from my Gs2 Skyrocket iPhone Killer!!!
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
Was against the back glass that covered the camera since the beginning. I suggested a cutout for the camera. I had the chance to play with one before all this BS. Left a sour taste in my mouth after all this. There is a reason the SGS3 sold 30 million + units. I'm encouraging people to sell this for a profit because I know what is around the corner, the SGS4, etc.

You cannot beat the price of the N4, but at least if you sell it for a profit you can get a real phone that won't take you all this time to get, use, etc. The reviews from the sarcastic "I love the iPOS" people are also telling.

The price point they came in at is now irrelevant since they cannot deliver. This was a huge +. It's now a negative.

---------- Post added at 10:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:33 AM ----------

Let's all give it 3 days. I'd like to enjoy the holidays without Google f'ing it up. I imagine people will be fine by Monday and lvl3's will ship. I don't think the # of units estimate is anywhere near correct for sales in the USA, nor do I think Google CSR's know shiz. I think any users who haven't placed an order yet has a great chance @ TMobile though - same Google Play phone in either 8GB or 16GB.

The n4 is one speedy device for the price - I just don't think it's worth this crap even at the price at least for developers. If any of you can wait until mid January, please do for another flagship phone and without dealing with Google at all in the order process.
[Nexus 4 General] mengwu:
Getting any other phone is not worth it unless it comes stock. Not getting the latest android upgrade in a speedy manner is probably the one thing that holds me back from buying any non-nexus device. I mean the s3 is just getting the jellybean 4.1.2 update now. How ****ed up is that. I rather wait this mess out and get update directly from google.
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
I agree with you in a sense. Google is great at releasing this first to flagships. At this point Google has lied to everyone, royally f'd a launch (they blamed this previous one on Verizon) and yeah. 4.2 is full of bugs anyways. Getting vanilla is no excuse to avoid the sgs3 but I hear ya.

I'm running out of excuses to own this phone. Try and help me and others out.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. First of all, I want to apologize for the confusion.

We will issue a refund separately in the amount of the shipping charge to your original form of payment shortly after your original order is charged and shipped.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,

How has google lied? So far, the CSR have told us whatever they could, they were mostly right about BO email people not getting their phone in the first batch, the other times they were all in the dark like rest of us. If anything google didn't lie to us, rather, they just stay silent on this whole launch mess. They should came out and public state what happened and how they will be remedying this mess.

As for reasons to own this phone, if you don't like it, or if you want to protest how google has treated you, then by all means, sell it or give away. You don't reasons from any of us to justify keeping a phone you don't want, i mean that's the beauty of android, that you can get a device in the form factor/os skin/oem of your choice.
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
It has begun. Google is monitoring this thread. I suggest you tell them how you really feel. There are a lot of other phones on the market that are available now. I suggest you wait at least a few days, 3+, then decide what you want to do.

Anything from the supposed CSR's @ Google cannot be trusted.
[Nexus 4 General] pertelotte:
****ing Google.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
most sellers now are going out with their "cyber weekend offers". And Google it's out of stock :rolleyes:

[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
I don't reasons, yup. How has Google lied? I guess I read way more threads than you, and I'm sorry for that. How many times has Google botched a Nexus launch?
[Nexus 4 General] androidi10:
They deserve to be out of stock in this holiday season

Losing so much revenu is a result of their bad planning and messy launch

They gotta learn from such mistakes
[Nexus 4 General] duquesa:
I posted this on the Spanish thread earlier and this is how I feel

I’ve sent Google an email asking for some answers so I can decide to go ahead or wait.

I was moving from IOS for this because I want a bigger screen but now I´m getting a fed up and looking at the videos reviews on youtube of the Nexus Vs the iphone 5, the screen size is not that different given that the buttons take up a lot of the screen, and in comparison the quality of the iphone 5 screen and camera is much better, Vodafone want €249 euros on contract for the Iphone so now I’m questioning my decision to buy?

God damn you Google
[Nexus 4 General] FISKER_Q:
Well first of all they've lied on the entire First In, First Out nonsense regarding processing of orders.

Secondly, they oversold the product, i.e. they allowed people to order under the presumption it was still in stock, when it wasn't, and even with all erroneous orders they still couldn't cover their customers.

Now neither of those incidents may be intentional, but that's why people are expecting Google to own up their mistakes and explain why it didn't work how it was supposed to.

The Customer Service Reps are of course representatives of Google, and they've "lied" as well, however as you said, they were going by the information they have received, both from Google and the Customer (Which is evident by the people phoning up, specifically lying about their order, as if trapping the CS Rep would change anything), so that is more understandable. (Generally the process is still pretty appalling though, if there's nothing more they can check than the order itself, then they may as well just tell people to stop wasting their time)
[Nexus 4 General] psrobinson:
the pain is over

Buying a Nexus 4 has been like having a baby - it was painful but now that I have my phone, the pain is starting to fade.
[Nexus 4 General] ammmo:
Google should NOT be in this mess to begin with. It's going to cost Google more to dig out of it than it would anything in their past product launches. I see Google trying to appease people as judged by the random users here who have no affiliation to development but who called and complained at least a dozen times per person.

All this being said, 3+ days folks, give it that long before you cancel or decide to move on.
