It can't be a bad thing. I've seen people get their card pre authorized multiple times but it also may get shipped within a couple days now that u got a new preauth. If I remember correctly a lot of people got preauths last fri-sun and got shipped their phone on Monday or Tue. Good luck
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
It's not a bad thing. Check your play store purchases. See if the date has changed.

Dang man, I had one but opened it and gave it to my wife and cancelled my Nov 28 8GB. :(

Anyone else from my sig still outstanding, I had some major life projects and have been away for a while.
[Nexus 4 General] Riyanweb:
Same date as the original...
[Nexus 4 General] ccgabe:
Nope.,

In same boat as you... Ordered Nov 28th at 12:06 PM Not a single word. It's ridiculous!
[Nexus 4 General] vladmechkarov:
I don't understand if you agreed to wait 7-8 weeks or whatever they promised to you, why are you still complaining? That;s what I got yesterday after asking Google for my phone:

"Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email with your tracking number. It may take 24 hours for the package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.

If you have not received a package tracking number after the time quoted in your order confirmation email, please let us know.

According to our records, your order should ship by the evening of January 23."

Preordered on 27nov, 7-8 weeker...
[Nexus 4 General] murdah204:
i ordered mine on 12/8 and nothing................................... has anyone who has my same date received their phone?.. I've been using a mytouch3g as i wait for my Nexus 4, this is miserable.:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
Nov 27 4-5 weeker. Nothing. Will give them until Dec 26.
[Nexus 4 General] ccgabe:
My only complaint is some that ordered the week of Dec 10 and got their phones in three days or less in some cases.

That makes no sense and it does piss me off since you bring it up. It also pisses me off that there are thousands of

Them for sale on ebay if you want to pay $500 for one. How did those sellers manage to get a boat load of those to

sell at exorbitant prices? Those are my issues,
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Alot of the ones of the ones on eBay were from people who ordered on the 13th of Nov.

U ask people to stay on topic but then post useless ugh I'm pissed cause I want my phone. Thats useless psycho babble bs just like u told us. So just remember u can't scold people and then do the same thing an expect people to not say anything. You ordered under the pretence of getting your order by the end of January.
[Nexus 4 General] akashvani:
All valid questions and even Google apologized for these screw ups. Good that they've stopped selling from Play Store to make sure they get their house in order and fulfill the existing orders.

Google has got a real bad rap from this fiasco. Now they are working hard to manufacture phone themselves with Motorola. Seems like by the time we get our phones Google will come up with the xphone they are working on now.

I sent email to Google Play support about my Dec 8 order and why others with later orders are getting shipped. They send a standard stock reply with BS promising to get back to me within 24 hours. Yeah right, it is 10 days and no follow up from them. It is a waste of time communicating with Play Store support.

If I don't cancel my order, apparently it will ship by the evening of Jan 23. May be I should wait for that xphone instead.
[Nexus 4 General] Eaffon:
I ordered at the same time. Hasn't even been 5 weeks man. Mine is estimated to ship Jan 2nd.
[Nexus 4 General] lackobrain2:
Glad you got yours sorted. The ref given to me by Google is for my shipment but TNT say that it was scanned into Birmingham distribution centre (Googles distribution centre that is) & from there it's never touched one of their vans.

Best of it is Google won't even refund me as they say it's out for delivery. Can't tell me where it is though!

Credit card chargeback to sort this one out I think.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
When was it scanned into TNT?
[Nexus 4 General] ccgabe:
I often order electronics from China and they usually state 4-5 weeks shipping. Doesn't necessarily

mean it will take 5 weeks, Normally it gets here within a couple weeks,

Makes me want to back to Apple as much as I dislike that outfit.
[Nexus 4 General] ven4545:
I'm one of them :D
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
When you order from china they give u a long shipping estimate for shipping. When you ordered from Google it was because it was a pre order and u had to wait for the devices to become in stock. I'm not saying that u wont get it earlier what I'm saying is don't call our posts psycho babble bs when u then do the same thing. You went into this knowing it may take till the end of January. Also what does ordering from one vendor have to do with another? You can get a iPhoney5 right now u can request a refund.
[Nexus 4 General] ccgabe:
The psycho babble I was referring to had nothing to do with this phone or the ordering or anything relating to the issue... my issue is about

nonsense that had nothing to do with the phone or shipping. And I didn't go into this knowing it would be the end of Jan. On

Nov 28th I was quoted 4-5 weeks. Do the math, that was just short of a month ago. Ordering from one vendor the other has

nothing to do with this order. It was a fact that it only takes two weeks to get an order from China when it is taking 2 months to

get one from KY or wherever it comes from. My issue is all about Google taking orders for phones they don't have available and

I will say it once again... I am irritated that hundreds get their phones within two day when they ordered two weeks after I and

dozens of other people.
[Nexus 4 General] Ftwisawesome:
May as well wait until the 32GB version comes out.
[Nexus 4 General] lackobrain2:
That's the weird thing, Google gave me a reference number rather than a TNT consignment number.

The people I've spoke to at TNT say there has been no scans of that reference number on one of their vans, any of their hubs or indeed anywhere on their network.

Seems there is some 3rd party warehousing/distribution spot who make the collections and despatches for Google. My guess is they've dropped through ball but no matter who I talk to nothing gets done about it.

Anyone know the name of the distributor? Neither TNT or Google want to let me know for some reason!
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
This thread and the Nexus 4 launch has showed and proves that Android has fanboys just as retarded and blind as the Apple fanboys.

Google had a ****ty launch for this device and their customer service sucks, admit it and move on.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
4-5 weeks = Dec 26 to Jan 2

Today's date Dec 22

Good luck:D
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Wouldn't it actually be longer than Dec 26-Jan 2? Since Google doesn't count weekends? So it would be what, Jan 15ish?

Or did you take in to account the weekend already?
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
The majority of us agree. This thread also shows that.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
No I didn't take the weekends out. Good catch beautiful.:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Normally I wouldn't care, but the psycho babble comment and all :D

Can't we all just get along?

Anybody get a shipping notification today?

If u really believed that I got a N4 unopened to send to u.
[Nexus 4 General] mdy:
Frustrated! Called Google Play about my Nexus 4 16GB ordered on Nov 27 and got a "2-3 week" confirmation. I called on Monday and they said they would "esculate" my order since I should have gotten it by now. Called back on Tuesday and was transfered to someone who said I was in the UPS problem queue and should get a tracking number soon. I called back Thursday and they said "sorry, we're out of stock" and you'll have to wait. I asked for someone who could explain the USP queue and although I was transferred they denied the existence of the UPS queue and basically said Tough S***, in a nice way. I never got the same answer twice. ARG! If you have a phone, be happy and I'm happy for you, but my order is stuck and I bet if I call back next week I'll get different answer.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
People seriously need to chill, I've never seen so many uptight people in my life. I don't get what's so hard to just keep reading if you read something you don't like.
[Nexus 4 General] estallings15:
Been there. Just hang in there. I waited a day shy of 5 weeks. Totally worth it. Is it OK? Absolutely not.
[Nexus 4 General] kangi26:
Get this thread back on topic and civil.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
That's got to be so frustrating. The csr's know nothing completely diddly squat. Some people have been told they are on bo and then 10 min later get shipping confirmation. Sorry u have to deal with all the dishonesty coming from the csr's they have to read from a script but I don't get why they lie instead of saying I'm sorry but I don't know:thumbdown:
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
What chit chat??? One word is classified as chit chat? I'm sorry you're not a happy person. I'm sorry google screwed you. But come on, you people act like it's.pages and pages of Chit chat.
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
Not sure what you're saying, but do send me that N4
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Agreed but now someone got a mod involved so let's just all move on. We know what's what in all of this and Mod I appreciate your keeping the threads in order.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Yeah, I didn't see the mod post until after my last post. Not another peep from me....merry xmas y'all! Peep. :p
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Hey man at this point just listen to the mod.:thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] kangi26:
Back on topic, last time, Cleaning thread......
[Nexus 4 General] Ftwisawesome:
Thank you
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
Actually Google uses two different methods for Play time estimates:

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

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

Source

My receipt and I'm sure everyone else's in this case says "Estimated Ship" and so Dec 26 - Jan 2 would indeed be correct for everyone who ordered on the 27th with 4-5 weeks estimated shipping, or possibly, as the page I cited doesn't mention a 24hr processing period for the order itself, Dec 25 - Jan 1.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:
He's right. I sent the obligatory "whens my package gonna ship?" and automated response pooped out January 2nd for the 4-5 week estimated ship date (from nov 27th).

Edit: I should say it was "by January 2nd".

i think you can say move on after we get our phones, complain about it, rant, call, then wait for the next big thing. can't move on when majority didn't even get their hands on it yet..
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
This is little off topic but doesn't really matter if you get your shipment if it's defective. Third device came in on Friday... Reboots like crazy and it has screen flicker. Going back for another so I'm still here...
[Nexus 4 General] CMNein:
Exactly why I'm holding onto my current one until the last possible second, I'll keep the lesser of the two evils, and hopefully don't have to test the "third time's a charm" idiom. Seems you're testing Murphy's Law quite well however :D

[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Hey brother BTW how were u off topic. I think what u said has everything to do with this threads topic. We have to share shipping and RMA experiences to help each other out. Just my 2 cents which ain't much.:D
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
I wonder how many n4s googke has sold. I would guess that they're getting about 20,000 a week. So what in ~7 weeks less than 200,000 shipments and chances are you're gonna get quite a few frustrating digital souvenirs before you get your phones? If you google ridiculous I wonder if it redirects you to google's homepage.
[Nexus 4 General] mk92595:
At least you have a good back up phone. I'm using a dumbphone.

8GB 4-5 weeks. Hopes to get the phone before New years.
[Nexus 4 General] Gibsonflyingv:

[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
If everything keeps working with this RMA phone I'll keep it. No major problems so far. Key words being "so far." :beer:
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
And your screen has a yellow tint, right? Have you found its gone away a little?
[Nexus 4 General] adulel08:
JW if I buy a Nexus 4 off CL and it has defects like (yellow tint, buzzing, etc) will I be able to get a RMA?

what info do I need to give google?
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
You need to get the seller to write out a receipt for you with

- His name

- His address

- Phone number

- Date sold to you

- How much you paid( get them to say around 400$ for a 16gb or 350 for a 8gb if u can)

- All the above for you

- Both of you sign and date it.

- Make sure they write in the receipt that's its new and unopened even if its not

If you can get them to ask to see their license and make sure it matches up. Also ask to insert your sim and check for defects right there. If its open boxed and they refuse walk away. All this was told to me by a csr floor manager when I asked the same question u just did. I would call and confirm if u want to be sure.
[Nexus 4 General] adulel08:
WOW thats a lot of info!

I thought I could just tell them the model # and my email and send it in!

So I should bring printer paper and a pen then.

The Price is $425, is higher better?

So should I ask for his Google Play receipt also?
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
And you trust Google CSR ?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
It may be a tad more yellow than the old one, but I feel like the whites on the old one are more blue and on the new one the whites are more white. Honestly everything just looks better on the RMA device. Colors, text, you name it. I've found my soulmate :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Capt.PP:
Which is more agonizing? Being on back order, to RMA or waiting without a phone since Oct. 15? N4 is full of problems since the review units, thermal problems, battery drained too fast, now shortage of N4.

Either way, I have decided to order 2. My strategy is to wait for the third batch. That left me without a phone since Oct., in hope that Google have enough time to iron out the problems. Hang in there guys, the third batch should be straight.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Oh and by the way; I unlocked, rooted, and installed cm10 and faux kernel. Adjusted setCPU to between 1350 max and 384MHz min while the screen is on and 384MHz max to 384 min with the screen off. I'm on par for over 4 hours of screen on time as we speak. Hooray!! :)
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
This is what I can't wait for! Better battery life, because the battery life now is a joke....I.watch my battery percent go down 1% every minute, literally, while using it.

And I thought my gnex battery life was bad...ppfft
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I was told lower is better not sure why but 25$ isn't that much of a difference. I would ask for the receipt I got my seller to give me his. I got a really understanding seller that was willing to do all this.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Aaaaw, so happy for you two. Hope you have a very happy year together. Unless of course you plan on keeping the love going :)
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:

Lol we thought the same with batch 2 and they seem worse than batch 1. Maybe batch 3 will be from China though cause as far as I know batch 1 and 2 were all from Korea.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Im loving this!! Cm is soooooo much better than stock. The swipe down on a specific side of the notification bar to enter quick settings is pure genius.

Thanks, I plan on being with her for a very long time :thumbup:

I can't believe I was settling for stock before.. This is amazing compared to that!

Stock has this feature. And years ago, I worked in a supermarket called C-Town :)

Alot of the yellow tints was cost by the glue is not completely dried. You may want to give it a week before raising the alarms. I sure hope that is the case, I hate to see another faulty device, we have had enough of them.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I know stock is crap as far as battery goes. Then u got people who claim to get 6 or 7 hours on stock its crazy. I'm not sure if they are trolling or telling the truth.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
To respond to some of the posts directed toward me...

Thanks for the sympathy. This is my 3rd n4 and n10. Both replacements are duds. The n10 has a worse screen than my original as usual. The n4 seemed promising. The exterior is nice with no defects. The screen is yellow but uniformly so. The yellow has already faded so the screen is great. The bin of the cpu is fast so I thought everything would be great. Turns out those bin identifiers are bunk because the phone reboots all the time. Anytime anything strenuous goes on it freezes and reboots. Also runs hotter than my original. The phone stock can't even complete one test of antutu. I've tried such, different kernels, different Roms, factory reset, etc. Still gets hot and reboots. Had to order a replacement. Sucks because I already put front and back protectors on it and put it in my bumper.

As far as Murphy's law goes, I'm living it. Went through 7 n7s and now on my third n10 and n4. The n10 I will just send in for repair if that route proves viable and would also with the phone except it isn't a screen issue though the screen does flicker. If I have to have the main board replaced I might as well get a new phone. Plus there's less chance a tech will spend the time testing for my issue since it is not readily seen like screens are. Might return it without doing anything.

BTW dirty, the phone does get good battery life if you put on a custom kernel. Unfortunately for me, any device I've tried with pa ducks down battery. Wouldn't recommend for the phone. Trinity kernel on my original phone netted me over 5 hours on many days. Powerhal and some wake locks cause most of the battery issues with the phone stock. Kernels can fix that until Google implements a real fix. Interesting to note that this Rebooter has decent screen on time, it just isn't reliable.

Now I'm waiting folk at least Monday to get some documents needed due to me not printing a correct ups label and a new rma form so I can send back my replacement n10 vice the original, as well as a new replacement order for the phone. Wonder if I'll get a replacement in less than a month. At this point I really don't care. I'm a pro now with this waiting game. Hope none of you all have to endure my play store track record in the future. :)
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Yea but using two fingers require you to have two free hands. With cm its one and done. Glad to know I am now a supermarket lol

Trolls man. Trolls. Hey now I'm on par for 5 hours screen on. I'm at 47% battery with 2 hrs 36min of screen! Suck that Mr. Stock.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Yea that's what I was thinking too.

Another +1 for cm. Sitting on my n10 with cm and cm stock kernel and I'm at 77% with 3 hours and 20 mins on screen :)

I love rasbean on my n4 but I might have to try cm on it. I'm on pace for 5 hours normally but some of the included features are nice. Have always loved trebuchet as well. Bench marks are great but battery and smoothness are what I shoot for now.

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:52 AM ----------

Jeff, even with poor signal I can get 4 hours of screen time and with everything normal on and synced. Facebook notifications and a few other programs keep the phone awake. I would check for wake locks.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Interesting I may follow your lead for my next adventure.

I've lost any faith in benchmarking it doesn't help with anything as far as user experience goes.

D: what time did you order? I've been on pre-ordered status with a date of December 6 for about a week or two. Supposedly that meant the phones were close to being shipped - doesn't seem that way :/

I honestly don't know how I've managed to wait all this time but I keep telling myself that I'm going to love the phone and the wait will be worth it :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] theTqM:
Yeah I think the myth of "Pro-ordered" status actually meaning something has been anecdotally debunked as completely irrelevant to how soon it will ship.

How do you mean it changed? As in you were emailed a second time after the initial receipt to notify you of the change?
