True. I wouldn't go through all this for an iphone. But then again apple hasn't botched a launch like this. I got an email after my 3rd call to Google. They said there are no problems with my order. They said they'll get a specialist to look into the order and it'll take 72(!?!) hours to find out if there's anything they can do. Meanwhile people who ordered after I did on Dec. 2nd have phones on the way. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Syniex:
From now i stop to check if there been an update

i am tierd of getting disappointed everytime
[Nexus 4 General] Psilocin:
I'm not sure if it's that easy. They say processing alone in order to ship out the phone takes 2-3 business days. So receiving a shipping confirm email and tracking number does not start the 2-day shipping period until you at least get an origin scan. If your phone then takes longer than 2 business days to deliver after the origin scan, then you could potentially call for a refund.

2012 "end of the world" finally came to me!

ordered 11/29

shipped and charged on 12/28

arrivaled 12/31

came home that day, found no package.

called google, now I am waiting for response from their lost and stolen dept. @%@(&&#*
[Nexus 4 General] ccgabe:
Got mine yesterday went to T-Mobile and made the switch from Verizon, took about 15 minutes.When I got

home and did set up all my apps from my Galaxy Nexus was installed in just a couple minutes. Very fast. It is

a great phone, although has a bit of a fragile feel to it with the glass back and curved front glass. I have Nillken

case coming and that should take care of that, Hate covering the beautiful backside of it. Anyone know of a

really clear case that would protect it. Considering a bumper if they ever come available and the price is right.

I am sure there will be other decent bumpers appearing soon. Right now I am using clear S-line TPU case that I

cut out the volume and power switch. That is not too bad and gives a good grip.
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Yeah most of us wouldn't be ordering this if it were Apple, I meant that I think only Google and Apple have a customer base dedicated enough to stand this sort of ****.

My mind boggles that how, in the US, it's acceptable for big logistics companies to simply leave products worth hundreds of dollars on the front porch without a signature. Probably pays off for them in the long term, considering the time they save vs the money spent on settlements, but it's not a good deal for the customer at all.

[Nexus 4 General] tmhiott:
I'm a little late as I've had my phone for a while, but I was a "lucky" one.

I ordered my phone on November 27th. My card was charged on December 5th, and I got the phone on December 7th.

Aren't there still people who ordered on Nov. 13th/Nov 27th who don't have the phones yet?
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
People have gotten shipping refunds with less. Also Googles available policy is that it'll take 2 business days to process and ship out.. .THEN you will receive a shipping email with your tracking number after it has shipped. That is the point at which your 2-day Air (2 business day waiting period) should start. If they decided to give a tracking number before your item has actually shipped that contradicts their own statement:

[Nexus 4 General] ImHavenHart:
Yep, all but two of my friends have their phones, one Nov 13ther and one Nov 27ther. They've been in preorder status, no other change

Got the Box, but no Nexus device

I ordered a 8 gig on Nov 27 and when I opened it there was no phone. The UPS package was not opened, but the tape on the actual nexus box was cut with a knife or something.

Screen

Has anyone that just got the phone noticed any yellowing tint on the screen.
[Nexus 4 General] Dimitri246:
I don't see how updates on the point to point journey to your house once it's left Google is very helpful. Though I guess if you're going to post it anywhere, it would be here. Forgive me for my ba humbug posts. :o
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
No shipping mails? :(
[Nexus 4 General] Dimitri246:
That's worse than waiting. To think you've gotten it and then it's not there. I'd be raging hard. Then to know there will be hassles ahead. Geez. Good luck.
[Nexus 4 General] WinDroidGuy:
When I initially ordered it I got the 1-2 weeks, when the ordered confirmation went through that email said 5-6 weeks :(
[Nexus 4 General] usb7:
Wondering the same.
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
1st: Don't worry about it. It is a common discoloration due to the curing/drying process involved in the screen bonding. It'll go away eventually, a few weeks or a month or two at most.

2nd: xda has a search feature, also you just bought a Google phone, I'm sure you've heard of Google.
[Nexus 4 General] geokuttan:
I called google...they said it will take 1-2 weeks to get the next replacement, but If all the stocks are gone, then how will they ship me a replacement :laugh:....Nexus 4 is the worst launch ever....shoulve gone with samsung or HTC...
[Nexus 4 General] usb7:
1. My original device had no yellow or glue curing.

2. Actually I was wondering about the device people just received, how yellow the recent nonRMA batch of devices are.
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
Yeah RMA devices are shipped out on a small batch as available basis where as nonRMA could be sitting around for weeks before shipping out in large batch. It was no surprise to hear previously that some of the RMAs had temporary-yellowing and that some of the earlier non RMAs and original batch did not.

But yes would be interesting to know if this batch has any yellowing however.
[Nexus 4 General] ccgabe:
Got mine Monday and it is perfect in all ways so far as I can tell.

FInallt Shipped

Hi All,

I'm a 4-5 weeeker from Nov 28th. I asked a friend of mine to purchase the phone in US, because I'm in Chile and I don't know when the phone will be sold here. Here's the proof:

The device has just delivered to my forward box and I'll have it within 1 week, can't wait!!!

Cheers from Chile and sorry my english guys.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
This was proven false a few weeks ago
[Nexus 4 General] usb7:
They do. People requesting RMAs get them within a week.
[Nexus 4 General] iPwn_:
Is it true that the latest batch of phones no longer features the glittery back? (Basically anyone who got it this week)
[Nexus 4 General] chinthekng:
i doubt that's true.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
No. I ordered mine on Dec 4th and received it the 21st. I know a lot of people in the off-topic thread who can vouch that they most definitely didn't get theirs in a week.
[Nexus 4 General] usb7:
I've gotten my two RMAs within a week.

Last one was ordered on Dec25, received on Dec27.

They must have run out of RMAs when you ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] The Bownz:
Does anyone think that if it said it shipped Saturday but I still have no scans on ups that I could get my device tomorrow? Debating on staying home tomorrow.

Damnit my date in the play store has been changed for going on 4 days now and no shipping notice. Frustrating.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I had a big delay on my 3rd phone but only waited 2 days to ship my DEC 27th RMA. I ordered my last RMA on the 30th. I expect it to be here by Friday based on history. Problem is that the last device i received was supposedly new but was an old hw 10 batch and came with dust and grit, a nick in the glass, a scuffed volume rocker, a small unfinished spot on the bezel and a piece of dirt underneath the glass. Makes me wonder if it was actually new. I wouldn't mind waiting a little longer if it means I get a real new one.

If it changes everyday that means they are doing an update on your order everyday. I would be more worried if nothing updated. One of mine wasn't updated for 2 weeks... On an estimated one week wait. I ended up waiting almost 3 weeks for shipment.

Can you report in the RMA thread how your next Nexus is?

I'm in a similar situation and curious. I'm thinking about waiting a bit before auth-ing the replacement device.

Don't want another yellow one.

same here, only thing is i haven't gotten a myups email like i normally get the day before a delivery to let me know something is about to arrive.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Sure no problem. Also, i wouldn't worry about the yellow unless it isn't uniform. My 2 rev 10 phones were plagued by the half yellow thing. The yellow goes away fast but because the 2 sides aren't uniform i still have a dingier side of the screen. If the whole screen is yellow don't worry. The yellow goes away in a week. Seriously every replacement looks more yellow than the last because they arrive more than a week later. It really is the glue drying. If you have yellow after a week or two then i would say it is a problem. Even with the non uniform screen my n4 is whiter and less yellow than my mother in laws iPhone 4s if that says anything.

Hello Eric,

Thank you for contacting us regarding the shipment of your device. I know this issue can be frustrating. I will do everything I can to resolve this issue.

I checked our systems and they don't show that your device has been shipped yet. When it is shipped you will receive an email with the UPS tracking number.

If there is anything else I can do for you feel free to drop me an email.

Thanks,

Chris

Mine went through fine, same deal as you until Monday. Judging by the the lack of reports here of movement on monday it would seem that UPS might have been running at an extremely limited capacity. I myself didn't have action until 1pm local, way way into the business day (unusual for ups normally). Hope that tomorrow you all get your origin scans.

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

You should. Some first batch orders that didn't receive their device in the estimated shipping time managed to get their shipping credited. Give it a shot. Make sure you sound really angry on the phone even if you are not.
[Nexus 4 General] subindev:
FYI

heard that, UPS took leave on 1st Jan.

May be that's the reason for delay in delivery.

[Nexus 4 General] lackobrain2:
No parcel delivery for me 1 month after ordering. After contacting Google Play every day over Xmas all I got was the same answer, "It's on it's way to you as of the 17th Dec. Please call TNT"

I ended up charging this back to Google on my credit card as they wouldn't even give me a straight answer on how to get a refund as they saw the device as having being shipped.

Walked into o2 store yesterday and picked one up for ~£100 on a new 24month contract that offers me twice as many minutes and even better, the knowledge I won't have to speak to them idiots at the Google Play store again!

i'm not sure if mine had to go to an actual different location before they put it on a delivery truck but as the usual progress when i have things delivered by ups it gets to atlanta, then it's dispatched from forest park (which is technically still atlanta). there was no departure scan from atlanta to forest park so...

I still haven't received the shipping mail either. But the charge is still there on my CC. So either I'm getting a charge reversal mail or a shipping mail in the next 24 hours :p

But anyway, I've made up my mind about this. It's absolutely ridiculous how badly Google has been handling this. First, the magic december shipments, and now this, people with 13/12 orders are being served before 6/12 or even some late November orders. I'm selling this phone the moment I get it. I won't open it because I know I won't feel like selling it then. I'll get a Note 2, it's probably a better phone anyway.
