The date in the Play Store orders list is the "last updated" date. All that means is that something modified your order; that could be something big or it could be nothing, nobody has any way of knowing. But hopefully it's a good sign (such as your order has been charged (vs. just the authorization) and will be sent over for fulfillment soon).

And speaking of YBoD, I've got that now on some totally unrelated stuff (gluten-free cooking supplies) that's supposed to be delivered tomorrow (tracking created on the 4th). Good times in UPS land. :highfive:

Really hope my replacement phone will be flawless. Keeping my fingers crossed :beer:
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
Oh no not light bleed! Christ! This is why I never wanted to buy another LG phone. I returned 23 LG G2x's before I gave up and switched to the Sensation. I hope to god my Nexus doesn't have light bleed because i'll lose my mind!
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Hahaha! 23? Tell me you're using hyperbole.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
I wish I was... I returned 10 of them in 1 week... Finally I went into the store and made the manager open the remaining 10 devices... So i guess I didn't technically take 23 home, but I opened 23 boxes and all 23 had light bleed to varying degrees.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
I'm glad I seem to have been lucky to not get a flawed unit (at least not that I've noticed -- so if it's flawed, it's not bad enough to be a problem for me). Keep reading about people having to RMA. Bad enough some people have been waiting weeks (when quoted days), but to get a flawed unit (or 8GB instead of 16GB or whatever) one or more times and have to RMA them and wait more (and hope for a good unit).... :eek: :eek: :eek:

Got my n4 , now I'm not sure what to keep, n4 or note 2 :(
[Nexus 4 General] abowmedia:
I'm bad that way, if I even slightly see it i'll get fixated... Suffice to say that T-Mobile store probably has a picture of me behind the desk... They don't like me much there. LOL. Manager was nice but the employee stormed out when i returned the 10th time. Can't say I blame her.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Both! :D Or, whichever one meets your needs better. The Note'll be bigger (which could be good or bad) and has the pen, but has that horrible TouchWiz (unless you change ROMs -- personally I went N4 to avoid feeling like I needed to use a ROM). Both would be good devices, just a matter of your needs. Since you have both, play with them and see? ;)
[Nexus 4 General] radlink14:
I think they're both great, but definitely battery sucks on n4 compared to note 2. I wish the note 2 was 5" not 5.5 and maybe I'd want to keep it more lol it's hard to get used to it.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Normally I'd say I'm the same way (little things really really bug me), but either I'm not as bad as I would think or I've been lucky to not run into such issues (granted I don't change phones much, so my first Android was my G2 and my second is my N4 -- though I do Android stuff at work and we've got some various devices for development and testing). As much as it'd be annoying for the employees to accept your returns, technically things like bleed would seem like product flaws to me and you shouldn't have to accept a flawed product (though likely a normal consumer would be fine with stuff like that, so at least someone can probably buy the unit). Crazy, though, that it took that many tries and you never found an acceptable unit. :eek: Until you went HTC anyway. :D (I like HTC, my G2 was a well-built little unit, despite complaints about the Z hinge on it. And my experience with it randomly going black screen of death on me -- but not my wife, so it was something I was running.)

---------- Post added at 07:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:59 PM ----------

Note's pretty big, yeah (guy at work has a Note 2). I'm happy with the size of my N4, since I can use it pretty easily with one hand if I so desire, but it fills my hand well (I've got big hands and don't need my hand all cramped up holding a phone's sides). S-Pen's tempting, but I think the 4.7" N4 is a good size for me (and I have an irrational dislike of Samsung for some reason).

Should be easy enough to sell whichever device you end up not wanting, so there's probably not a huge rush on making up your mind. Or find a coin to flip? ;)
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
You too? Man, I can't stand samsung phones. Their tablets don't bother me, but I'm getting sick of seeing samsung phones. One day someone is going to ask me why I didn't buy a Samsung phone and it will take every bit of self control I can muster not to punch them in their face.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] shadowdogg:
Hm... this thread is so messy but I assume for the UK at least it is 100% the case that those who ordered last are going first in the queue?

Hotukdeals seems to show that people who ordered after 7pm received their shipment on the 6th December whilst those at 5-6 range are still pending.

How can an organisation which (arguably) makes one of the best search engines in the world not know how an ordering system works?
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
We've been wondering that for 35,000 posts.

[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
Alright, should I be worried that my 4-5 weeker order hasn't been updated at all since the 27th? My order still shows the 27th and I keep hearing people say that it gets updated when sh!ts about to hit the fan (in a good way).

In other words, are there any other 4-5 weekers out there that haven't seen any activity yet?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Sweet, my 27th 2-3 week order is in town. Delivered tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] shadowdogg:
I feel sorry for the first ever person to order it then :( I may even cancel tomorrow when I ring them up, depends on how I feel. It's not like I exactly need this phone, I just felt the need to buy it from the low stock hype (Nintendo got me with it with the wii too :()
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
That is a generic statement for any merchant that uses Google Wallet. Say Walmart used Google Wallet, and your credit card was declined, it would say Walmart may now charge.... etc

Google Wallet is treating Google Play Hardware like any other merchant, as a separate company.
[Nexus 4 General] Tweezydak1d:
havnt herd anything from google since i placed my order. 4-5 weeker right here
[Nexus 4 General] nokkenas:
I'm with you man. I'm a 4-5 weeker and my order hasn't been updated.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
Alright, glad* to see some other penders. Thanks guys.

*- not the only person in that boat. I would love to have my device already.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
Alright, no information on shipping yet but I am extremely optimistic that it will be coming tomorrow or Tuesday. If it isn't there by Tuesday, that would mean I wanted an entire month for this phone. Then you will see mad Bears. You don't want to see Bears mad......
[Nexus 4 General] mrhaddan:
Good luck Bear! I'm mad that people who ordered after me are getting info, and I'm only a 2-3 weaker. Can't imagine how you feel. If you need a friend to yell at Google with you, let me know!
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
I really think they should just give you the phone for free. I feel for you man. Its like the people going to the stores and grabbing the N7 before us pre-orderer's got it. Except your case is like X 100 worse, plus you have to keep calling them.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
lol nice. The original Tab makes me mad because of the whole "let's just copy Apple" cable, but hopefully they've gotten rid of that on the new Tabs. I dislike the "tear off" backs on the phones, I really hate TouchWiz, and all that leads up to hating Samsung's mobile division in general, despite the devices themselves seeming solid. :good:

Blurg, today was the final day of the three weeks from the backorder email, was hoping beyond all hope that you'd make it by today. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] feelinfroggy23:
What does it mean when the date in my wallet account changed from the 27th to the 6th today?

[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
It probably means they are processing your order or maybe not. You must be new here :D
[Nexus 4 General] thomas.clark:
I called Play Support today, more to pester them and prod for new general info than anything. If they gave me some new info about my order, hey that's a bonus at this point.

I made a big point of complaining that the 3 week backorder window had expired. Had to make the point three times before the CSR supervisor acknowledged that it was really a big problem. When he mentioned the shipping refund, I fired back that that offer was in place before the 3-week backorder window ever expired. I wanted to know what they were going to do now to rectify the new situation.

Okay, Conspiracy Theory Time: the CSR supervisor then said "I heard from my manager that the Nov 13 orders continue to be a big problem, and there are talks going on about doing something more for you guys."

Unicorns, I know. But one thing was clear: there seem to be many Nov 13 orders still messed up. [Keep in mind, I'm just a not-too-tech-saavy-dude who wanted a phone. I stumbled into this forum/thread because it was the only place where anyone was talking about this in an organized (ha!) fashion - imagine what the other unsuspecting schmucks who ordered are thinking/feeling right now.]

So here's what I'm thinking: we get another conference call going, and get them on the record either stating or clearly implying that something more is going to be done for the misplaced Nov 13 orders. Then try again for a media push, put some pressure on Google to make this right. And no, for those of you saying "just be patient," just delivering the phones does not set things right at this point.

bought 2-3 on my 16 gb and 4-5 on 8 gb at the same time so hopefully get 16gb shipping soon
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
They did give people who pre-ordered the Nexus Q the device for free...Us 11/13 people can only hope. A gesture like that WOULD restore faith in Google....and I bet most of us would be on board for a closed door focus group. Hell our band of banditos almost reverse engineered their entire shipping process (Moe, Larry, and Curly were in charge of shipping the first batch of orders).

I am STILL at Pending status...upgraded this AM from Pre-Ordered. No phone on my doorstep when I got home. No follow-up emails asking to update wallet....NOTHING. Hopefully the magic works tonight.
[Nexus 4 General] exaybachay01:
There are people who are saying their wallet says one day and play store says another, wondering what people mean by this? Is there a way to check my order somewhere in the play store?

On my wallet it says I placed an order 11/27 4:52:52pm PST, then order was received 11/27 by Google, and that's it hasn't changed....didnt know if there was somewhere else I needed to.be checking. 16gb 2-3 weeker with no info.
[Nexus 4 General] radlink14:
Ok so this is kinda sad....

I had an n4 I got from t-mobile but returned it because it would get real hot and rebooted.

Now I got mine today from google play and I noticed it makes a weird sound when it vibrates ;( the t-mobile one was silent and super enjoyable. This one sounds janky! :((((((((((((

RMAs should be out of separate stock, though I'm not sure if the devices come from a different location. Might be subject to the same insanity plaguing the normal orders, potentially. (But at least you'll technically be getting a device within days.)

I tell you Bear I am supposed to get mine tomorrow and I am going to feel bad if you have not received yours. You have been strong support for so many here in this thread. What you have gone through really sucks. I think they should give you yours for free. Good luck. BTW my nickname since my time in the Army has been WaterBear, just a little feeling of kinship.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Replacements seem to have priority as my phone got the label of death with the rest of the first second wave buyers. Based on my experiences with replacements though... Its like they know the crap ones and set them aside for us replacement folk. I hate being so ocd. If I had poor vision or wasn't fixated on details this phone would be perfect.

Got my "shipped" notification from Google Play at 1:35am (this morning).

I am happy that I'll be getting it 10 days after order.

Its the night time......this is usually the time if changes occur we may see it (I Hope). Next week it will be 4 weeks...that is utterly insane.

Hey, I am all for it, but considering that CS has no power to do anything about anything, I am rather dubious that this would work. I am also shocked at the complete absence of media coverage on this. Are journalists scared of Google, or is there just 10 of us in the situation? I don't understand why it is not publicized or why Google is saying nothing.

I just got the BS email from wallet stating to update my CC information because the charge of $0.00 did not go through, which I just did. I checked my AMEX to see if there was an authorization, but there is nothing... so, I am not expecting anything at this point.

Google sucks! I will call CSRs yet again - just for kicks...
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Pretty sure 7pm is the business cutoff, while 8pm is normally when they'll be done with residences, but they're supposed to stay out until they make an attempt on all packages... which this time of year can be really late. My N4 and SIM card (separate days) each came around 8:30-9pm (the N4 delivery was annoying since I saw at least two UPS trucks blowing past the house and my truck took a while in showing up finally).
[Nexus 4 General] AngkorDeNNiS:
Oh wow hahaha. The latest I've ever got was a computer and it came at 9:30. Not too bad though, I can wait till 11 if I need to. Now waiting till 11 for a TV, then carrying it in while everyone is sleeping, that's a different story, that would be too much of a pain hah.

What time did you place your order? Really looking forward to get my hands on the nexus 4. Was unlucky on the 13th even thought I was logged in at 8:35 am, finally was able to order it on the 27th before 2 pm.

OK I ordered a 16 GB lg nexus 4 on the 13th @ 851 am PST on the 15th I got a 3 week backorder email . on the 26th I got a email saying my order will be shipped that week but never did ship. Now on Dec 5th Google play tried to take the money off my debit card but couldn't until I got a email saying to update my wallet! Today is Dec 6th I updated my wallet at 7 am EST time & now 10 min ago I get a email saying my order has been canceled wtf Google!!! When I got the email on the 5yestetday / late last night it states update your wallet & that I had yo to 7 days to updated or then they can cancel it but it hasn't even been a whole day after I updates my wallet & now get a email saying my order was canceled! So I waited 3 weeks on backorder or a little over 3 weeks & updated my wallet asap when I got that email just to turn around & send a email saying my order was canceled are you ****ing serious Google!!! If this doesn't get taken care of I don't even know if I'm going to order again because this is bs straight up... As far as free shipping goes **** that me & people that ordered on the 13th deserve more than that wtf is 13 or 14 bucks shipping . like I said if my order didn't go threw correct because of my wrong info on my debit card that I did I can understand that but when I order on the 13th of Nov. & they already had my money on hold the first time but if Google knows I have a error on my card don't wait 22 days since I ordered & after waited 3 long weeks for my order to go threw to tell me my order has been canceled especially after I updated my wallet in less than an hour of the update wallet email ... I'm so pissed I don't even know what to say anymore.. If anyone is having the same issue please let me know how u made out,,, thanks

UPS Driver Misdelivered

I am in the throes of an unholy nerdrage fit. I've been tracking my package religiously since it shipped on December 4th. It was out for delivery all day and I've been home waiting for it. At 6:30pm PST, the truck pulls up and I finish up what I was doing and head to the door. The driver drives off as I open the door. No package. Check tracking page. Package delivered. Call UPS. Did you look? Yes, I farking looked, naga, it's $780 worth of phones supposedly sitting outside in the rain. Well, we can't do anything unless the shipper files paperwork.

I checked with all of my neighbors in reach of the truck. Nobody saw anything, which means one of them is lying because hey, free phones, or UPS driver saw what he was about to deliver and thought hey, free phones.

I called Nexus support and Ebonics McGee is supposed to send an email for consent to report the shipment stolen and disable the phones.

First world problems, man.
