ur good mate, keep faith.. 2 hours left, as long as you have 1 device ur safe.. im a bit worring about ppl who has more then 2 devices.
[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
Why are they worked up?

Because they want to make sure their orders come out of the system before the Play store goes back on line and pukes its guts out all over the floor minutes later.

They don't want their BO order mixed-in with the new orders. Since Google seems totally UNABLE to sort orders by date using FIFO that means they will probably be screwed once mixed-in with the new scrambled orders.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I am left out as well
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
+1000
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Yes, ordered 12:52 est , status complete, card authorized yesterday.. I expect it to happen today they can't do them all at once
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
Limbo and the levels is a common word here now. Nice work, MaxCarnage! :D
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Just because you haven't gotten the email yet doesn't mean you phone hasn't shipped. The devices are at a UPS warehouse which packs and ships them. They then send the shipping info to Google who then sends it to you. Stay calm and be patient. The only ones that should be worried are the ones that never got any communication from Google yet. The ones that never got last nights email that said the devices will ship this week are the ones that should be worried.
[Nexus 4 General] dinnydindin:
Well I got the "shipping this week" email but I'm still waiting for that damn tracking number!! I feel like I'm better off just buying another in a few hours when the store does live again...

[Nexus 4 General] jraymond:
I received the shipping confirmation email last night. I have not received a tracking number. I was told by a Google specialist last week over the phone that ordering the bumper along with the 16g did contribute to my back order. I was an LL2. I got the BO way late on the 21st. I originally ordered on the 13th at 8:33 am. I firmly believe, based on the conversation with the supervisor, that if the bumpers are not available now (today) that my phone will once again get back ordered until the bumpers become available..
[Nexus 4 General] lionheart7282:
I don't like this!:(
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
"They can" is the phrase I take issue with here. They've proven so far that they are wildly inept at running an online store, even one with just a very small number of products to keep track of. I would absolutely trust Apple to do this. Or Wal-Mart, Amazon, or Target. I wouldn't trust Google Play to wash both hands at the same time, let alone this.
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
I'm not worried, just feel left out. :)

I have 100% confidence it's shipping today.
[Nexus 4 General] STLset:
I checked when you wrote that, now I do too

Hurray for tracking data

Nexus 7 with XDA app
[Nexus 4 General] intel8052:
That's just dumb. You were told your order would ship this week, so you're want to order another phone that will ship by the end of the week at the earliest? Figure 3-5 days to process the new orders, at minimum, and that still puts you to the end of the week. Not like ordering a 2nd device will get you yours any quicker.. if anything it will put you in a category of "ordered multiple devices" and delay you if google is shipping single orders out first.
[Nexus 4 General] daddioj:
well they recharged my debt so it must have shipped. didnt receive tracking yet. not too worried though
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
I could care less what time anyone ordered. It has been proven over and over that Google is not shipping fifo. What I would like to know is what time did you receive your tracking email. Then we can know if they're still being sent out.
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
CSR just told me mine is not shipping today, but rather on Wed. or Thurs, arrivng no later than Friday. She stressed that the new orders wouldn't go out before all the backorders did, though (thought that I find that at all comforting given how utterly uninformed CSRs are).
[Nexus 4 General] arodhr13:
Nothing for me yet either.
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
Since no one else is doing this right now, I feel honor-bound to ensure a tradition of this thread is upheld.

... At least for the Canadians and Germans.
[Nexus 4 General] G1ForFun:
Got the email last night saying my order would ship this week but no tracking information yet. Very depressing too see that others are getting tracking information today.

....feel like I'd have my phone in hand if I didn't get the bumper.

1 8GB Nexus 4

1 Bumper

Order Date: November 13, 2012 11:44:53 AM UTC-5
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
My backordered 8GB was just shipped in the UK.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
Blame the price difference on tax and extra labor (bilingual instructions..). It has nothing to with anyone else than our own politics.

Besides. Its a widespread joke from south park...
[Nexus 4 General] condor7272:
nov 14

Limbo 3 havent recieved tracking yet

One question: my wallet says Nov 14 Google inc recieved my order.

Ive seen that some of the guys who have recieved the tracking email says nov13 as the date when google recieved the order, does that have to do with anything?
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Well of course. But we're all in UPS's hands these days as far as I can tell (have just been waiting on stock), so as long as new orders don't start getting sent over the fence (unless UPS wouldn't get to them until they've finished with our manifest), we should be as good as we can be.

Whether that will happen is another matter entirely, of course. :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] UCFJake:
What date does your play store account show your order was placed?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
CSR aint know no sh*t
[Nexus 4 General] K451M:
Hi guys i was one of the people that couldnt order on the first day since i had school, so i was wandering if anybody could help me out please?

Can i buy the nexus 4 tonight at 12:00 PM PST even though im from the U.K?

Any information will be greatly apprechiated

And yes i have read the previous pages ( Around 700 to be precise )

Thanks guys, have a good one!
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Well no matter what happens I'm just happy we have some solid info. Regardless I'm going to try to get another 16, and if available, 2 bumpers.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Yes you can buy it, no not from uk. :D
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Did you call them?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
My guess is no unless you know someone in the US willing to help you. Uh doubt even a US proxy will help who knows if they will ship outside the US for orders in the US play store.
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
I don't think the bumper is the issue; I was explicitly told those are going back on sale as well.
[Nexus 4 General] mengwu:
Shipping notice with UPS showing info too. 2 day air. Origin scan at 1:00 pm KY time.
[Nexus 4 General] rednasy:
That's very disappointing.
[Nexus 4 General] VoiD_Dweller:
No I'd guess he flew to their headquarters and asked them in person
[Nexus 4 General] uberNoobZA:
And for the English speakers - 'The CSR doesn't know anything'.

At least I ASSUME that is what was originally meant.
[Nexus 4 General] K451M:
Sorry to bug you, but i need to confirm, so i cant buy it if im from the U.K then?

And thanks for the reply mate!
[Nexus 4 General] Antiflash:
Google second fail?

What are the chances that Google did their homework in this two weeks.

This time they have to make things better, for example

1. Release the batch at the promised hour. Not earlier like last time.

2. Have sufficient processing and networking resources to allow Wallet to handle the enormous traffic without errors.

3. Correct handling of available stock that assure that if I place an order successful I get my phone delivered in the standard time frame.

4. Above all, No backorders or Limbos.

Who want to bet that this time is not going to be any different that previous mess. I think this thread will continue alive with newcomers arriving today?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
ha ha ...my British friend ...American english be a lil different ;)
[Nexus 4 General] biggiephat:
I want to believe this. But I'm setting up for disappointment. Unlubed disappointment.
[Nexus 4 General] MatAuc12:
I wanna facebook like this
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Looks like it's STILL not FIFO if I don't get shipping info today as I see people that got their order in after me did get info. I have only the one device with no bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Not at this time. UK orders should hopefully open up soon as well, but right now we only know about the US store (from the "Notify Me" emails finally going out).
[Nexus 4 General] bmwracer0:
No, sorry
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
I did call them. Got a CSR who, upon my question being asked, immediately went to "a supervisor" for about 3 minutes before answering my first question about shipping. Then when I asked again bout the bumper, she spent another 2 minutes with said "supervisor." If this was any place other than Google Play, I'd probably just trust it at face value. So take that for what you will, guys.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
He could have emailed them.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
That mail that every1 had from google was only for US mate. If you didnt get any mail from google play about the sale of N4 i think you cant buy it from the UK yet
[Nexus 4 General] clarksco:
Damn it! I have been constantly checking my email and when I got an email that said 'your package is on its way' I had assumed it was the phone. Turns out it was a different package from paypal. Still in limbo. FML
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
Waiting for tracking info.....

Any one of you guys ordered cases and screen protectors from Rearth thru Amazon?
[Nexus 4 General] intel8052:
Does this forum use google ads? Google ships all our products and makes another batch of "level 3s" just to keep the views up and help google ads?

</conspiracy theory> haha. I just felt like amusing myself for a minute. Back to work I go!
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Saw a couple of mentions back in the pile of pages earlier this morning.
[Nexus 4 General] dsmitty166:
You will have to have someone in the US do it for you
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
Really? Doesn't it release at 12PM PST which is 3PM EST?
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
Noon PST. Not EST. It's an hour and a half from now, more like.
[Nexus 4 General] sublimnl:
Jesus, don't you people understand time zones? Wtf!
[Nexus 4 General] intel8052:
uhhh... it's currently 10:30AM PST. Check yo' timezones son!
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
WTF are you talking about son??
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
12:00PM PST (Pacific standard time). It's 1.26 EST, now, or 10.26AM PST.

Just relax.
[Nexus 4 General] Christ1119:
The only difference this time is it seems they've limited purchases to 2 instead of letting people go crazy and order 5+. Would've been really useful the first time had they done that, but better late than never for the people who didn't get a chance to order at least it'll limit the scalpers and hoarders so people that actually want the phone should have a chance to order (hopefully), aside from that everything's probably gonna be the same; server errors, payment errors, etc.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
It was an hour and a half ago on the east cost. Not the west.
[Nexus 4 General] rSallyx:
Still no shipping email ordered 16gb at 3:40:57 PM UTC-5 i am going to pissed if it doesn't get shipped today
[Nexus 4 General] monkfish_lad:
Not to mention the double negative!
[Nexus 4 General] miasma:
COULDN'T care less -- wow I have read this a TON of times in this thread...

Sorry, grumpy that I haven't gotten my shipping info yet... L3
[Nexus 4 General] Gloularis:
i hope google creates a doodle for this day so everybody can realize the N4 is been launched today.

12:00 PST - BUY IT NOW, next to the search button.
[Nexus 4 General] condor7272:
Well I live in Domican Republic, and I did ordered it from the usa site, how?

number 1: Go to superfreevpn.com and connect to a vpn network (is free) and now google will think you are in the US.

number 2: Create a new account with the connection on....it doesnt matter that the credit card is not issued in the US

number 3: well.....I dont know about you, but in our country we have forwarding companys that they give you an address in miami where you can ship products there and they will deliver them directly to you in your hands, (just like having an address in the US)

Or maybe you have someone else that can deliver the product to you, but I can assure you that if you have an address in the US to ship it to steps 1 and 2 will work, Ive done it a lot of times
[Nexus 4 General] hashin:
No its PST. So they will start selling in 1 hour 33 minutes.
[Nexus 4 General] dsmitty166:
Holy crap trolls, I made a mistake, it's been corrected, looked at the time wrong. No need for 10 people to freak out.

My bad
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
Update on the bumpers: just got a follow-up email from the rep I spoke to. She's now saying "We're working to stock additional inventory and hope to have Nexus 4 bumpers available soon. I'm unable to provide a specific date of availability at this time."

So, once again, chickens with their heads cut off it seems.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Yeehh sonn !
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Haha...thanks English teacher! I love having my grammar corrected on the internet. I could care less if you are bothered by the way I talk and I ain't gonna not change it at all.

[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
This will not stop scalpers..they will just simply create multiple Google accounts and order multiple devices that way. .It's not that hard:(:(:(:(
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
So you are going to change it. Good to know!
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Seriously? Is this a troll? You ordered at almost the end of the day and already have your tracking order? Man... they still can't get this right. I'm happy to have it this week, but I don't yet have a tracking number and I ordered in the first 1.5 hours the phone launched. Thanks again Google!
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
What is happening? Youre a miljoinair? You won the lotery? You jump off a building.. damn. Just give more information :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
It'll stop stupid scalpers, or scalpers who just have one credit card; who knows, maybe that'll be helpful enough.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
What!? They didn't advertise

FOUR

different times, dude. Duh! It's the same day for everyone.

:eek::p
[Nexus 4 General] jlear3:
Man its going back for sale in a couple hours and I don't get paid till Wednesday :mad: at least there's a 2 per customer limit, though I'm sure scalpers will find a way around it.. anyone think it'll last a few days this time?
[Nexus 4 General] hashin:
I can feel your frustration and you have all the right to be frustrated. Shame on google.
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
I think I'll stay at this thread even when my phone ships. Too much jokes, nerd raging in this thread and a great way to pass the time at work.
[Nexus 4 General] Christ1119:
Yeah pretty much this lol, any smart scalper probably already has multiple accounts lined up with an auto refresh script in place waiting, but maybe they limit by address too?
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I have a feeling that what's going to go for sale are places in line for future stock. The shipping estimate will be "two to three weeks".

I'd love to think that I could potentially have my bumper by next week, but I doubt it even if I manage to buy one.
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
Fuuuk NO...lol
[Nexus 4 General] condor7272:
start sales before 12

none of you have mentioned the stupidity of the item being available 30 minutes before like last time. .....

Man if I were to buy on Ill be hitting that F5 button all day long just in case.

But here Iam waiting for that tracking email, with a stupid blackberry while my nexus4 arrives
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
Honestly, I would be surprised if they even limited by CC. I'll bet my boots it's just by account, and that's all. As badly as the GP infrastructure seems to be, I just have a really hard time believing they put a seriously useful limiting system in place.
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
If they scalping they know know what to do... believe that
[Nexus 4 General] renegadeMind:
It shipped and in transit right now!!
[Nexus 4 General] abe in space:
We have, actually; you just apparently didn't catch it.

If you don't want to deal with F5, though, get an auto-refresh script, or Page Monitor.
[Nexus 4 General] K451M:
Not possible :(, thanks for your help thought mate and enjoy your phone!

Damn i got happy at stage 2 then never realised there was a stage 3, thanks for the information but looks like il have to wait for a while untill it comes to the U.K store, thanks again mate, enjoy your phone
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
No worries. ;) I really hope that the UK store has their inventory on shore or will very soon. For all we know you'll be able to order any day now, we just don't have any word from Google on that. I suppose you could try emailing and asking, just in case the reopening has been scheduled. I don't know if anyone here requested to be notified on availability in the UK store like many of us did on the US side. If someone did, we'll probably get that status later on.

Good luck! :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] Widowmaker636:
For people with more than one order

Anyone else with two separate orders have them get shipped together or did they get sent separately?

Right now I have one saying shipped(my wifes) and one (mine) still is saying pending, complete.

Wouldn't they ship them based on the account?

Or are all the orders separate and it doesn't matter how many are in your account?
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Yeah that was never, ever mentioned in this thread before. No one mentioned it before. Ever. Before. Never.
[Nexus 4 General] tonebone:
Damn i feel so sorry for you... not having your bumper and the phone in your hands, it must be HELL!
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Well that really sucks. That means they are taking new orders before filling all BO.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
In case you missed my fabulous news....limbo level 3, purchased one 16gb at 5:03pm est, no bumper, (bastards) tracking info now in google now :)
[Nexus 4 General] lanman2k:
Got my shipping email and the UPS tracking has gone live. Origin Scan in Louisville, Kentucky at 1PM
[Nexus 4 General] Christ1119:
Another good point. I wouldn't be surprised if it is just by account (actually I'm pretty damn sure it is just by account). Good luck to those trying to place an order later on today, hope those who actually want the phone get them I know it was a pain when I tried ordering the first round.
[Nexus 4 General] GC8Bunta:
Ordered mine on 13th at 1pm est. Still no tracking email... meanwhile... my brothers girlfriend who I helped with the refreshing/ordering process got her tracking info... and she ordered like 2:30pm est. Thanks Google.....
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Oh man; every time I pick up my beautiful, sparkling phone and see that exposed glass as I glide through menus and applications my heart breaks because it's always in danger and I have no way of protecting it.

Swallow your jealousy, son.
[Nexus 4 General] K451M:
Yep i hope for the same, having no phones sucks, kinda ironic that i had 2 iphones 3 weeks ago and now i have nothing lol, my mistake for selling them, do you what thier email address is?

And il be needed alot of luck to bag one of these bad boys!
[Nexus 4 General] tonebone:
Sarcasm, girlfriend.

duh ;)
[Nexus 4 General] skym0903:
Well it's now confirmed that my order is not shipped overnight... :( It's UPS 2nd day air...........

No way,?! Ur so lucky !! :( but how do you feel? free like an angel? finally !

Why google !! why !!!!! Y U NO GIVE ME 1
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
Lol...what he said
[Nexus 4 General] slam721:
yeah ordered mine on the 13th at 1157Am EST and I see other people who ordered after get their tracking info already.....ugh
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I got it. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] renegadeMind:
All LL3ers please calm down... everyone will get the shipping info soon. :) I was calm before i got mine, i just went for lunch and when i came back.. viola!!
[Nexus 4 General] adulel08:
Do those of u think its ok to get the 8GB model? how much space is available? 6GB?

I would like 16Gb but i could live without having videos on my phone.
[Nexus 4 General] biggiephat:
1.25 hrs to give me my tracking number...

I'm in the same boat as you. Two separate 16GB orders, the 2:30pm est order shipped just now, the 1:39pm est order still shows complete, as it has shown since the 13th...So no, does not look like they ship based on the account....
[Nexus 4 General] chronus719:
Man, shemales get all the luck. :p
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
Or what?
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Well... if mine doesn't go out today (got the mass shipment this week email) I think I'm going to be butt hurt all over again. Seems they are going in reverse order or something. Perhaps it's because pending orders take longer to clear from my bank or whatever is the case. Regardless, they stated that they would be doing FIFO, and for the most part, thats bull, or the poor guys that ordered in the first 5 mins that ended up on BO would have shipping confirmations right now, and not the guys that f5'ed after the thing was actually hard core sold out. As a disclaimer... I'm not mad at the guys getting it that clicked in late, but rather google for giving us all the middle finger by doing it this way.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
+1. I am concerned that 1 person was told his phone would not go out today.
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
I'd think 6GB is enough for some apps and some music. You'd use a tablet for videos right?
