[Nexus 4 General] harold899:
same for me...
[Nexus 4 General] tulongest:
Nope :(

Still 13th/15th here
[Nexus 4 General] georgeschrumph:
Canada, BC - Got shipping notice and tracking number at 12:32 pm Nov, 20,2012.

Ordered. 8:35 PST, received order confirmation receipt at 8:35 pst on Nov, 13, 2012. no backorder email, no subsequent communication at all until shipping.

Happy Camper! :)
[Nexus 4 General] luke_c94:
Same here as well, hopefully it means something...
[Nexus 4 General] f3lixc:
i think you may be missing the point here. seeing as with a 3 week wait theres no argument that YOUR shipping fees shall be waived. however with their 3-5 business day blah blah blah policy the 21st would technically be the 6th day. A day late or 3 weeks late its still LATE.
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
You probably want a hard case anyways. .seen it has the glass back

WHY DON'T I HAVE MY NEXUS 4 YET
[Nexus 4 General] slopokdave:
Does anyone have an email address for a helpful CSR? I can't get any response back! Its been days....
[Nexus 4 General] waverunnr:
Philly - Delivered

Philadelphia: I finally received a tracking number today. When it checked it, it said the phone was delivered this morning! lol. I love when that happens.

I've been playing with it all day, installing the apps from my iPhone, and setting everything up. From a guy that's been on iPhone since the beginning, my initial impressions of Jelly Bean are very positive. I understand now why Apple is suing everyone. I think they see the writing on the wall.
[Nexus 4 General] quahog_convo:
Yeah, that's always the idea with those glass covered devices... but it looks so nice without a case covering it.

Hopefully when more people get their hands on the phone, they can make better cases.
[Nexus 4 General] Serious_Beans:
Are bumpers backordered also? The chrome gets scratched easily lol.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Congrats! Be carefull with all the extra screen real estate in the beginning...you could hurt yourself :)
[Nexus 4 General] lskeys:
Same here, I ordered that morning. About 11:50 a.m. Central. The orders just did not go through. Tried about 6 times with phone and bumper in cart. Every time I submitted the order it would not go to payment. Had to get back to work at 12:00 p.m and just gave up. When I got some time that evening I checked the Verge site. And saw it was sold out. Read some of the posts in the Android Army about people still ordering and completing their order. Figured out the refresh thing and tried it. Got the order done about 5:08 p.m. Confirmation email said it would ship on the 15th of Nov. If google play store was really out of stock. They should have just cut off ordering completely before then. After I got my phone ordered I could not get a bumper. The stock was really depleted then.
[Nexus 4 General] twistkick:
Any updates level 3 peeps?
[Nexus 4 General] quahog_convo:
Yeah, they are. :\

Mine doesn't have any scratch. You know, I am lucky, I am in limbo 3.
[Nexus 4 General] baggy247:
I'm currently at limbo level 3 in the UK, and just got a pretty interesting response from "Andy" from Google Play...

"Unfortunately at this moment I can't offer you a free bumper, but it may be prudent to check back. ;)"
[Nexus 4 General] mafiaboy01:
I got the same thing.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Animals? We talkin' animals?

[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Good luck brother; hopefully we're congratulating you on a great interview rather than crying about the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] kydkupa:
Okay all is right in the world again. My replacement Nexus comes tomorrow. I will not be letting anymore reps hold my phones while on stores anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
lol, still a kid to me buddy! Let's see, when I was 18 I was a year away from joining the Air Force and getting married. :D
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
WTF?
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
I just got an email from a CSR indicating my order what "stuck in chargeable." She indicated that she forwarded my account to a specialist. So I called Google Play for more info, and the CSR said he would forward to a specialist, and sent a follow up email stating my account was forwarded my account to a specialist.

what should I make of this situation? thanks!

I was gonna get a nexus 4 but I took a Google to the knee.

I guess you're not particularly "in" SA with a farm like that. :D

Pesky kids and their rock and roll music and their Googles and their coming on my lawn!

Good luck, hope you don't get stuck in Job Limbo, too! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] josalvmo:
From Google

Just called and this is what I got.

Hello XXXXX

Thank you for contacting us.

If you ordered on 11/13 and you did not receive a backorder notification email, your order is scheduled to arrive today. If you haven't already received a shipping confirmation email that contains the tracking number, you should receive one by end of day today. However, please note that it can take up to 1 business day for the tracking number to be activated. Rest assured that once you receive your ship confirmation email with your tracking number, it is in the process of shipping for an estimated arrival of Tuesday, Nov. 20.

Thanks,

Garrett

The Google Play Support Team
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
That's not what I was told. I just called them earlier and it was a non committal. Pleasant conversation though. Still I wait.
[Nexus 4 General] strobex:
HA

You're getting a replacement already... I'm lost in the wilderness
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Nope, I actually reside half-way between La Vernia and Floresville, a ways south of San Antonio. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
A couple of people last night had the same situation. Once the order was fixed they shipped out. Crossed fingers!
[Nexus 4 General] ksocoolwitit:
Well guys earlier i said I found on Craigslist a guy that's selling an 8gb for $400, well I just pulled the trigger and picked up the phone. I'm a fellow LL3 like some of you guys. I just got fed up and went straight to Craigslist to see whats out there. Came back home and immediately cancelled my backorder 8gb from Google Play Store. My patience was running thin and i couldn't hold on too long. Good luck to the rest of you guys.
[Nexus 4 General] MewRai95:
Something I did wrong..?
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Well my phone is delivered so it's time for me to head home. I will not abandon this thread; see you all later tonight! I promise no comments about my phone or anything like that. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] kydkupa:
I work for a marketing company paired with LG Mobile. I made a video two Thursdays ago showing off my Nexus 4. I went to a T-Mobile store to train the reps. And one of the chicks dropped it. So im receiving my replacement tomorrow. Its been a ****ty two weeks.

Here's a YouTube link of my vid

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xSac0-6va4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Nexus 4 General] MewRai95:
:/ Not sure what I did wrong yet all these dislikes roll in, you know if there's something I did wrong at least comment and give me some critique.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Great News Max! I was wondering where it was. Come back around 7 for the fireworks :D
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
Go do your homework.
[Nexus 4 General] MauriceZ:
CSR just told me "Your phone is being shipped sometime today" and "Shipping fee will not be waived" (wtf?)
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Congrats on getting hold of a device, especially one not too horribly priced. Sure it's more than the total would be from the Play Store, but figuring in the value of same-day pickup, it's not as bad as many I've seen out there. Not like it's a $600 8GB or something. :)
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Didn't mean anything negative bud, you just reminded me that I'm getting older. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] kayateia:
>w<

I usually put my phone in my pocket or small purse pouch, so I'm not sure it'd work so well... but now I kinda want one. o.o
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
Just ignore us. We are bitter at this whole situation and aren't in the mood to be friendly.
[Nexus 4 General] MewRai95:
It's not you man, everyone else is being negative without means of telling me what's up.

I've been with this thread since the beginning. If there's information I got wrong tell me now and I will revise.

I can understand that man, I'm just as pissed off as much as anyone else in this thread without a phone.
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
Haha you look pretty high .. and it's also bad video quality. So don't be surprised when you get dislikes.
[Nexus 4 General] onedude1:
Anyone with an ingress invite and a nexus phone already give it a try?

Limbo 3... starting to debate my existence in the android ecosystem.
[Nexus 4 General] megapixle:
My order which should have been here today got delayed until tomorrow. Unfortunately I'm leaving out of town tonight. My N4 will arrive in my city from KY tonight, anybody know if it's possible to pick up my package tonight on my way out of town instead of them delivering tomorrow? Otherwise it's sitting on my doorstep for a week.
[Nexus 4 General] MewRai95:
True there, I even noted in the video about that, no biggie really. It just bugs me since I know most of the dislikes are from those who are most likely in the same situation as me.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I walked in to T-Mobile looking to get one, they didn't have them, but he cut my regular sim in to a micro. I have a few sim cards if anyone wants one, you can get a sim cutter off Amazon for a few bucks and cut it yourself. I've read T-Mobile charging for a regular sim too, I've never paid a cent for one. I have a few from all my phone's that I've bought.
[Nexus 4 General] MonsieurJohnny:
If your package is at a shipping hub (the last place the package sits before it goes out for delivery), you should be able to pick it up if it gets there before it closes.
[Nexus 4 General] idale:
Looks like three dislikes as of right now. Hard to say if it's legitimate ratings or just knee-jerk "someone's saying something bad about the launch -- get him!" type of thing. Or just a YouTube ratedown troll. I wouldn't let it get to you, hopefully if there's someone who's got some actual constructive criticism for your style or message or whatever they'll chime in in the comments. Personally it didn't strike me as good or bad particularly either way (I could see some people coming away as "oh, look at this poor kid whining about his Nexus 4 that he's got an order in on", but it's a vlog, what would anyone expect in that situation?), but I feel like an old man a lot of the time in these sorts of matters so what do I know? In the end, worry about whether you're happy with your videos and not whether YouTube is. YouTube's a fickle place and it's best not to stare into its depths too long. And see how the ratings and comments (or lack thereof) go as it sits up a little more, hopefully it'll settle at wherever it "deserves" to be. :)
[Nexus 4 General] netsyd:
Call UPS. They should be able to assist you with your device. They can at least stop delivery and hold it in will call.
[Nexus 4 General] T45:
I received the backorder email on Thursday (this make me limbo 3?), and no update in the way of date change or anything... but the pending charge that was on my account since Tuesday dropped off yesterday. No completed charge made yet though.

I just rang support and they said my order has likely entered processing but they cannot give any indication of when it will arrive.

Was anyone else in a similar situation and now received their device? I'm really hoping it arrives before thanksgiving, this ZTE blade sucks.

I'm in North California.
[Nexus 4 General] MewRai95:
Thanks man, I really appreciate it :3
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
i gave you a thimbs up but i have no plans to ever watch the video :good::cool::good:
[Nexus 4 General] Chochiwpg:
Got my tracking number today but they charged me shipping. Called support and someone will get back to me in 2 business days to refund the shipping charge. Make sure to check your statement and make sure they didn't charge you.
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Welcome Brother to LIMBO 3!!!!!!!!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
You could always get a all clear case, Amazon has a "kayscase" that's clear, it'll show off the phone/back while protecting it :) And cruzer lite has a clear androidified case. Pre orders right now though.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
So I've been playing around with it and there's one thing I regret.

I should have gotten a bumper for it. It's beautiful, but I'm afraid to handle it. I don't want to drop it :S

If you ordered a bumper, you're going to like it. That extra protection will go a long way, I think.
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
It is not a nice place to be in. :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] DarksideEE7:
I'm in the exact same situation as you. Ordered Nov. 13 4:23 CST, shipping estimate still shows 15th, order date changed to the 19th, wallet still says 13th, received backorder email the 15th. I called them and basically got zero concrete information.
[Nexus 4 General] GC8Bunta:
LIMBO LEVEL 3 AND I JUST GOT SHIPPING CONFIRMATION... ..... ... ... ...

for my Skinomi screen protectors I ordered for my backordered Nexus 4. Ordered these last Tuesday as well.. f
[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
Maybe some don't agree, but I would actually add to the shipping cost if I get mine shipped out today for delivery tomorrow.... call me crazy or maybe just desperate haha :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] captaincool9:
Just wondering if anyone knows how US Thanksgiving will effect the orders that shipped today to Canadian customers? Its belong shipped UPS WORLDWIDE EXPRESS SAVER. Which apparently is 1-3 days if shipped from the US and 1 day if shipped from Canada. But I'm assuming it is shipping from the US?
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
+1
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
As beautiful as it looks with the bumper, and I'll probably get one anyway, it's not going to protect the back of it falls. But I honestly have dropped a phone maybe 2x' s.....so I'm not worried about that, well kinda :)
[Nexus 4 General] liorra3:
i jest gat an sms that my c.c is charge by google.

didnt get any mail or so, buy in the sms incloding some long number that start at 18809700... (and so), is that ups tracking ?
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Dirty Trick!!;)
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
no, no its not, but welcome!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Does anyone know if T-Mobile has bumpers? Well, the high volume stores that carry the n4 that is.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
If only the bumper is in stock. o_o
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
i have a case that will get delivered to me from shenzhen, china before i get my nexus 4 :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
You got a backorder email and you got shipping?

sent via xda premium with nexus 7
[Nexus 4 General] strobex:
reread
[Nexus 4 General] liorra3:
help here, is 18809700... its ups tracking ?
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
I got mine off T-Mobile's site for 99 cents with free activation and free shipping (the sim card... I missed the quote... noob moment).
[Nexus 4 General] GC8Bunta:
I figured I could get at least a couple of folks to clench their butt cheeks in excitement... but just to realize the real truth... lol
[Nexus 4 General] Web-head:
Nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
I figure that will be the case, but it doesn't hurt. Any protection for now would be nice. I'm so paranoid that I don't even want to peel off the clear plastic from the back so it doesn't scratch -_-

That shkinomi thing looks good though. I wonder how useful it would be, cuz if you drop your phone, it can get damaged even if it has a case.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
So for all of us limbo 3 people, is it safe to say that we won't get our phones in November?
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:

[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
if there's no shipping confirmation you shouldn't get your hopes up yet
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
Any change on your Wallet and Google Play?
[Nexus 4 General] liorra3:
same here! i even get an tracking number !! buy at 13th 7:35 est
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
But no shipping information?
[Nexus 4 General] MewRai95:
And now you've got me stalking my home banking page waiting for something to happen..
[Nexus 4 General] GC8Bunta:
No. Im backordered. order went thru 1:00pm est. no shipping confirmation for my phone...

if u read closely it was shipping confirmation i received for Screen protectors i ordered from Amazon.com. LOL. sorry for the dirty trick..

goes to show you people only read what they want to see.
[Nexus 4 General] jbatu:
I just got a charge on my discover card to of$383.93 and am LL3 hopefully this means something
[Nexus 4 General] liorra3:
nop, same on the wallet...
[Nexus 4 General] florian3000:
That's the Google order number.
[Nexus 4 General] onedude1:
We should hijack all Google+ post coming from android or nexus....

and add any comment about our Limbo status. Try to make it funny to call more attention

and use the tag #WheresMyNexus4 apparently google+ has now bumped it off the trending list.
[Nexus 4 General] ScottyNuttz:
Did they charge you for shipping?
[Nexus 4 General] meWho:
CC pending charge reappeared

FWIW I was tracking my CC pending transactions and noticed earlier that there was no pending charge. Just checked again and it reappeared.

Hopefully it is a good sign, or just me finding things to keep myself optimistic.

LL3; 1:30 EST
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
Still nothing in my Chase CC yet. At least something is happening. We have HOPE.
[Nexus 4 General] NexusIncarnate:
Me too! Was just charged again! Limbo 3. 11:56AM Eastern.

Maybe we'll get lucky after all! (I doubt it, but we can still have hope. Right? RIGHT?!?!?)

Although I think the ones that were shipped last night didn't even have a charge on their cards again.
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
I have Chase, too.. nothing here.
[Nexus 4 General] quahog_convo:
I called the first day they were on sale from T-Mo, and the rep I spoke to said they didn't have any that first day and weren't sure when they would get accessories.

Might be a different story now?
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Yeah. They wont be having their case for another month. :/
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Nothing yet, fingers crossed.

They ran my card at 4:44 PM.. so hopefully soon...

Anybody from yesterday's batch see something similar before you got your shipping conf?
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Go to Best Skins Ever and check them out. They are taking pre-orders for the Nexus 4 skin. I have used their product on several phone and really like it for a few reasons:

Perfectly clear- you cannot tell it's there

Protects from scretches

Has a tactile feel which greatly improves grip!

I use these skins and no other case for my last 3 phones: iPhone, iPhone 3 & Galaxy S. I do not use them for a screen protector as it has a slight prange peel texture. For screens I use a crystal skin.

For the Nexus I intend to possibly add the bumper in combination with the skin.
[Nexus 4 General] Mr. Shaded:
Im in Canada tooo.. Calgary... Its UPS I have the same code.. give it some time to update.. I can see the UPS has my shipping info now
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I always keep the factory plastic on my phone's...lol. I had the factory plastic on my vibrant for a year, and it still looked clean and new after a year. I think the skinomi will help. It might not stop it from cracking the glass if it fell, but you wouldn't have to worry about scratches. I just looked on eBay for a bumper, $52 is the bid right now!!! I got my sgs2 ghost armored and I just love the way it looks....I picked matte and it just gives it a nice look. Hoping ghost armor will get them in for the N4. In the mean time I am just going to get any case, I have my pre order in for cruzer lite and will get a kayscase since its in stock. Sgp made their screen protector too short for the N4, so the hunt for that continues. We must protect our electronic children!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
the hell you just say about my mom??? :mad:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160921621729?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

here's this if you don't mind having the back covered up
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
I'm getting really excited now that i'm hearing that people form limbo 3 are getting charges on their account.

Did the same thing happen yesterday before limbo1+2 got their shipping info?
[Nexus 4 General] :
I was looking up the zip code for UPS in louisville as I was trying to calculate transit time for the Canadian shipment.

Look at my screenshot to see what Google maps spits out for review!

You can read the full review, they are talking about phones too. Funny coincidence.

By no means do I want to suggest that UPS has anything to do with this whole disaster. This is Google all the way.

I have to admit I feel better now though that I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Good luck to everybody left in limbo!
[Nexus 4 General] nibrwr:
I just got the CC charge too, LL3... Hope this amounts to something other than disappointment

Edit: still being charged for shipping
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
Kjfdldfj i dont care about xbox right now email, damn you.
[Nexus 4 General] miasma:
For anyone who has a fresh charge on their credit card, do you have any update of the date on your play store account page?
[Nexus 4 General] strobex:
Ditto
[Nexus 4 General] GC8Bunta:
Does your mom work for Google Customer service?? if so i've said a lot of things.
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Mine still says Nov 19, 2012... it changed from Nov 13 to Nov 19 yesterday.
[Nexus 4 General] nibrwr:
Nope. Play Store date is unchanged, Wallet is unchanged
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
I am so f***ing piss*d off now .

limbo 3, charges removed from CC.

[Nexus 4 General] :
The phones are coming North on UPS Worldwide Saver. Should deliver by noon tomorrow.

[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Thanks!!! Honestly, I loathe those "s" cases, with a passion. Thank you though!
[Nexus 4 General] miasma:
Is your order date 13th, 17th or 19th?
[Nexus 4 General] netsyd:
So - mine changed a little differently than most folks. Google CREDITED $373.52 - So not my CC shows $373 MORE than I started with.

The play order status changed as well from ships Nov 15th to Pending.
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
I was going to do some homework tonight, but it seems like i'm just going to be following this thread + refreshing my chase cc activity for the next 6 hours or so.

My google play status changed from November 15th to PENDING...HOPING ITS A GOOD SIGNNN

EDIT: wait it just went back to November 15th....wtf lol

EDIT 2: AND NOW its pending again....they are trolling me LOL
[Nexus 4 General] jbatu:

[Nexus 4 General] nibrwr:
