Ordered on 29th, Still "Processing". Should I be worried?

Hello, I ordered my device within hours that it went back on sale on the 29th. On the 31st, I was told that the Play Store received my order, but it's currently still 'processing'. The Play Store support hasn't been too helpful, as they've given me conflicting information. I was told by one person that it has already shipped and it should arrive today. However, every other agent I've talked to has said that's not true, and that it has yet to ship.

I have not received mine yet, and it seems that there are others who placed their order after the 29th, who have already received their's. Should I be worried?

Thanks

Interesting, this is about a month old so it would be interesting to see what it is now. I imagine there was quite a blitz here the last two weeks. Still an interesting article though.
[Nexus 4 General] CheesyNutz:
Just called google and I was told my order is still a week out :(

Update

Ordered January 30

Wallet transaction pending

Shipping estimate: 13th.

Credit card preauthorized charge is no longer there.

I'm hoping preauth timer just ran out after a couple days. Any other users here with the same condition?

Ordered January 29th at 12:40:37 Eastern Time. Received tracking info this morning at 3:32am eastern. Be here tomorrow.

I was on the opposite side of the spectrum. I didn't want my phone to come until after my Clarivue tempered glass protector got here. Now I have to decide whether to play with the naked device or leave it in the box until I get the protector. Sadly Clarivue doesn't start shipping them until the 7th of February.

Ordered 16GB 1/31 1:00 pm Pacific time. Google wallet says ordered received estimated delivery Feb.13. Credit card still shows pending payment. And the wait continues.......
[Nexus 4 General] F0rB1z0n:
Same as here!
[Nexus 4 General] Immortal.XDA:
Has anyone that ordered either Saturday or Sunday received a tracking number yet?
[Nexus 4 General] diablos991:
Jeeze guy! Give them time to ship. You should expect an email by 2AM tomorrow morning at the earliest.
[Nexus 4 General] Bones1717:
I ordered Saturday. No order confirmation. I contacted support and they said that the estimate that my Play order history shows (February 13th) is going to be fairly accurate, so I'm expecting mine to probably be here around the 15th. Anything earlier will be a bonus for me.
[Nexus 4 General] diablos991:
Same here. I don't expect to see shipment notification earlier than Wednesday though.

[Nexus 4 General] P8TRIOT:
Same...mine still says pending (argghhh...I have never refreshed so much in my life :eek:) I had to call my bank to see what the deal was-i ordered to 1st-and it hasn't posted yet it is still "pending". I called Google and they said they were waiting on my bank, I called my bank and they said it will post by 8am tomorrow!! The anxiety is killing me. Hopefully once it has been posted it will ship out that day?
[Nexus 4 General] Immortal.XDA:
Ha, not really that anxious just curious.
[Nexus 4 General] Priamo:
One thing I have noticed is people have been complaining about shipment, we it clearly says 1 - 2 weeks.

Just sit and wait for your 2 weeks, maybe you will be lucky and have it before.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
I'm only a teenager so next week's my work experience week, if I get it for the weekend it'll be great, I'm gonna try order it at 8am as well :D
[Nexus 4 General] KLUVJ:
just sold my international hox for 480$, that means after ordering the 16gb, i still have 80 bucks to spare !! Unless of course, google play doesnt count tax in canada, so the 16gb would really be just 364, then i would have more than 100 to spare :D. BTW, that hox was bought in may for 510 LAWLLLLL, best deal i ve done.

Its $13.99 for one unit, and the shipping is combined for additional units with a discount.

Just spoke to a google play representative, and he said the play store is pacific time. He said that the release will most likely be midnight...
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
What can I say... You lucky guy! The worst thing would be if I'm at my work experience and there's no one home to sign for my shiny new phone... but, you get the day off!

This midnight or next Tuesday?...
[Nexus 4 General] phoneman09:
So midnight in all time zones huh? That's awesome! I know what I'll be doing after I get black ops 2.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
I don't think it's midnight for every time zone, just Pacific time

[Nexus 4 General] sarcosis:
Since it's not a software roll out and is dependent on a fixed amount of stock, if it doesn't go live at the same time, those on the west coast would get screwed since by the time it got there, stock would be gone. If they allocated stock per region, they better have some good estimates, or you still get shafted. Easiest way is like B97 said, goes live for all at the same time. Have they confirmed the Midnight time for PST? I've looked and haven't been able to find an answer.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
Nothings confirmed, just rumours :p but the phone is definitely on sale next Tuesday, and I'm pretty sure there's no pre orders. Also, someone earlier who contacted Google confirmed Google play runs on the Pacific time zone.
[Nexus 4 General] sarcosis:
Thanks for the info. I wonder if it refreshes the same time as it did when they updated the $0.25 app sale and not at midnight. For their $0.25 app sale, the store would refresh around noon PST. Just wondering if that rumor's been getting any traction.
[Nexus 4 General] :
I spoke with a Google rep and he didn't know what time orders open on the 13th. (I'm in the US on the west coast.) He also said to call back a couple days before the release. I can't be the only one calling so I'm sure we'll find out soon enough, haha.
[Nexus 4 General] phoneman09:
That means I have to wait till 2am my time then? If they are on the pacific time zone? (I'm in the central time zone)

How long ago did you manage to get the order through?

Ive not had any 'add to cart' refreshes for a while now using the F5 method.

Good spot mine now says Delivery estimate 15 November 2012 - Why the hell it was on US when I'm UK i'll never know. So should have it on Thursday or tomorrow.

[Nexus 4 General] rkcckr:
just spoken with google wallet customer service - they said it may still say pending in google wallet for another 2 days i.e. until its shipped.

so, if you've been lucky enough to go through the order process and are concerned due to 'pending' on g.wallet, take a deep breath and relax. nothing you can do now except wait for an email from google giving tracking info or telling you that the order didnt go through.

from what i got fromt the lady I spoke with, they are crazy overwhelmed and orders are being processed but there is a bottleneck like a mofo
[Nexus 4 General] jimbob_me:
Okay boss, did you get 8 or 16?
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
16GB!!! Keep at it! They have not sold out entirely (UK). Clearly they must be letting orders through once duplicates have been cancelled... good luck!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Prom3theu5:
Just use something like: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/page-monitor/pemhgklkefakciniebenbfclihhmmfcd

or even:

page2rss.com

Paste in the link to the nexus page.

Then add the page2rss feed link to greader on your phone - you will be notified when the page changes. Thats the method I used to notify me of changes and wake me up this AM :D (****ing Bumper LOL.... Now i'm sat in work - knackered!)

Then I recieve 2 thanks for your order emails even though none went through.

My Google wallet shows 2 orders, 1 cancelled, 1 pending.

Is this correct?

Ordered mine 30th Jan 4pm GMT arrived 4th Feb I was estimated 2 weeks . I got no shipping notification

Thing is that we all also about $14-15 and that it stated "two-day shipping." Frustrates me that we're charged that much when not everyone gets that time frame.

[Nexus 4 General] americasteam:
That's not when it wiill ship, but the max length of time it should arrive at the destination after UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc receives the package.
[Nexus 4 General] jibbzy:
I agree that it's frustrating but I think that '2 day shipping' means it will get to you within 2 days of dispatch, which is what I think most people are getting (Rather than 2 days from ordering).

I'm starting to think my phone will be shipped on the 13th.
[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:
When your phone ships you have at most 2 days to wait. Google has quoted a time for processing. Whether that be 3-5 days, 1-2 weeks, so on. You basically have two different estimates
[Nexus 4 General] PJBeast:
I waited 8 weeks for this phone, so just be grateful you can get it in 2 weeks :D
[Nexus 4 General] Orange_furball:
It was worth it though, wasn't it? :)

[Nexus 4 General] juicyjones:
Hello Nexus 4! Ordered Jan 31 at 9.47 AM, received today 2 PM. Looks to me like they are back in stock but Google doesn't want to make too many promises in case it triggers a gold rush. YMMV.
[Nexus 4 General] samoarmo:
I just refused the packages I had Nexus 4 and the bumper case. I decided its not worth it. No micro SD and the screen has problems I don't want to get a brand new phone and waste days to try to calibriate . No disrespect to anyone its just not what the android is about. Freedon . Google is turning to Apple. With No SD and removable battery. Have fun guys.

Ordered Feb 2, still only got order conformation
[Nexus 4 General] P8TRIOT:
And that is your right...where I differ with you is about the storage. I cannot really see what you would need more than 16GB for, honestly, Especially given the fact that now everything is becoming backed up into the cloud almost negating the need for huge storage. This is 2013 we don't necessarily NEED to store EVERYTHING on the device anymore. Granted, there are some exceptions, as with all things for example if you need 8 different Gameloft games like Batman or Modern Combat and games like that, or if you like to flash tons of different ROMs, but that can be easily managed with some sensible "spring cleaning", like deleting old Nandroid BU's.

I see you where your coming from so don't misunderstand me. However when I had access to 16GB+ on my old GS3 that had removable media, I can count on one hand the number of times I actually removed or needed more space and that was with multiple of Gameloft games many videos shot in 1080p and plenty of un-needed Nandroid BU's the only reason why I needed more storage was because I became too lazy and stopped deleting old Nandroids and ROM's. I think that the storage argument is becoming irrelevant.
[Nexus 4 General] samoarmo:
U are right but look

Google is going backwards to iPhone 4

IPhone 4 Nexus 4

Glass back. √

None removable storage. √

IPS display. √

]Just checked Google Play store. for 16 GB, now says its ships in Less than a week! Google still tells me it will ship by the 13th though. New orders are promised a different shipping estimate now? https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_16gb

Kind of annoyed..I ordered mine early morning on the 31st. Only received my first email from Google saying i will be charged when it ships.. nothing else.

UPDATE:

Just received this cleverly worded email from Google:

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for contacting Google Play Support. To determine the estimated delivery window for your Google Play Device Store order please do the following:

1. First, locate the Google Play Device Store receipt emailed to you with the subject line 'Your Google Play Order Receipt'.

2. Next, find the 'Order date' listed on your receipt

3. If your 'Shipping Status' says 'Estimated Ship', your item will be shipped within the number of weeks specified.

4. If your 'Shipping Status' says 'Estimated Delivery', your item will be delivered within the number of days specified (business days only).

I've reviewed your order and the order confirmation indicates 1-2 weeks shipping estimate from the date you purchased. The reason the Play Store indicates less than one week is it's Monday so the information has updated. You'll still get yours before anyone who orders this week gets theirs.

Once your order has been shipped, you will receive an email notification with a tracking number. Your estimated time of delivery will be determined at the point that your order has been processed and shipped. It may take 24 hours for the package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.

If you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to respond to this email, visit Google Play Support or call us directly.

US/CAN: 855-836-3987

Regards,

Chuck

The Google Play Team

So...mine wont ship out in less than a week..but ill still get mine before the people that get theirs in Less than week..? HUH

UPDATE 2!!!

Googles next response to me (sounds promising folks!):

Hi Jordan,

Thanks for your response. The shipping estimate for your order, the one in the order confirmation, is based on the date you place the order. The shipping estimate on the website is for customers placing an order at that time. It just happens that we have the stock available to start shipping orders for everyone at or near the same time (of course with older orders going out first).
[Nexus 4 General] samoarmo:
No doesn't have to be I'm just realizing how Google is copying Apple.

Anyway let's not make it a war.;)

This place us for orders I already said too much. Sorry if I offended anyone.

[Nexus 4 General] P8TRIOT:
No, your fine, we can just layout some facts...this is meant to be educational not combative (please do not take it as that ;)..).

I don't have any issue with a glass back so long as it is strong.

Storage: we already covered.

IPS Display: this is an interesting discussion. While iPhone 4 has their "retina display" they don't use a standard resolution in other words things aren't displayed as the should be. At least from what I understand.

You left out the fact that the E960 uses a QUAD krait proc. at 1500MHz and 2GB RAM vs the iPhone's Arm-Cortex A8 1000MHz aaaand 512MB RAM huge difference here.

Camera is different too. (I got too lazy here...lol)

I don't know if they are attempting to copy Apple, just ask them (Apple) they invented and patented everything. http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/29/3930156/apple-trademarks-its-retail-store-design
[Nexus 4 General] rpaloalto:
To all the people who complain that this device has no sd card slot.

Even though the nexus available to the public. The Nexus was always meant to be a developer phone. As a developer you only need to load your apps. You dont need space for 100 games and hours of movies.

AMOLED, I think it sucks too black and over saturated. It looks good but is very unnatural. IPS is top dog.

Google is doing everybody a favor by letting this unit go for $299.

Do you really thing the samsung galaxy s3 is a $600 phone. NO it's just a fake price that att and verizon charge you to make you think your geting a deal when you agree to a two years contract..

I just ordered my second nexus 4 on the first. Google play receipt shows a ship date of Feb 13. However since the google play store front has now changed from ships in 2 weeks to less then a week I bet it comes Friday or Sat:)
[Nexus 4 General] samoarmo:
With all the commercial s and adds it doesn't seem its intended for developer's. Look at the commercial and finds a developer in there.

[Nexus 4 General] Komodo Rogue:
tl;dr ordered 16GB and bumper very early on the 30th. Received email from UPS today (2/4) that it should arrive tomorrow (2/5). Still no email from Google! I can't believe they STILL haven't learned how to sell phones online.

Hello everyone. Ordered on the 30th, I missed calling it the 29th by just a couple of hours. The reports of people ordering on the 30th (in the evening of the 30th) and then even the 31st and receiving their phone made me partly furious, and partly hurt, in a way that only a die-hard google nerd can hurt.

I was losing some hope today, even though it hasn't even been a full week since ordering, but I was already wondering, will I even get it for NEXT weekend? At what point do I cancel? After all these years, after all that we've been through, how could you do this to me, Google?

But then, I get home from work, and see an email from UPS:

So yeah, now I feel like an idiot for being so worried - they said 1-2 weeks and they delivered, and on the fast end. However, as anyone else who got caught up in the release disaster will tell you, it was a gadget nerd's nightmare (especially if you really wanted a N4, not just "for the price"). The fact that google has yet to send me a tracking number definitively doesn't inspire confidence in their online retail skills.

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER IF YOU'RE CONSIDERING CANCELLING:

If you're thinking: MWC is around the corner, why not just wait to see what's around if I'm left in the dark with my order anyway, right? That thought crossed my mind, so if it helps, here were my conclusions: the new phones from HTC, Sammie, and Moto will NOT cost $350. Probably double that. And if you want them unlocked, you'll probably be looking at importing, which is a hassle in itself.

But, better is better, right? Well, I could definitely be wrong, but I expect Moto and HTC flagships to run S4 Pros (quad, adreno 320) or maybe, somehow, Tegra 4. The cameras will probably be a little better, the storage capacity probably higher, maybe microSD on the Moto, and maybe bigger batteries, a la razr maxx. These are all good things, but not something that puts them into a league of their own, and not, in my opinion, worth 2x the price.

The GS4/Note 3 will probably run a bleeding-edge Exynos 5 in a configuration that bests the N4 rather easily, and this would give me some pause: Nexus vs bootloader/bloatware BS on best-in-class hardware... but I wouldn't expect them to release at MWC, the price will be at least as high as the GS3 international was at launch, and again, locked bootloader BS is probable.

Anyway, that's just my two cents. Good luck to everyone in limbo, I know how hard the uncertainty of it is!

History

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

Also they hand these out at the google IO conference.

I never said it was only for developers. Google wants people to use this phone. Probably why they are selling it so cheap this time around. Try to pull people away from ios with a nice $500 phone for $299.

Also if you do develop android apps, what would you test it on?

Example why you need these phones from google.. Lets take a galaxy s3 from att. First the os has been altered by samsung. Second it's got bloatware from both att and samsung.
[Nexus 4 General] samoarmo:
Its a real 5gb phone that's usable not 8gb for 299+tax and that's a very good price for that.
