[Nexus 4 General] Azurael:
Estimated ship date: Feb 13th...

I just love my N7 so much that if anybody, I trust Google to sell me a device that actually works for what I want. My HOX is bricked because of HTC's crappy S-On bootloader, my Atrix is semi-bricked because it won't charge over USB (and it doesn't run JB very well due to the old kernel and graphics libs), and the only other Android phone I've got laying around, a Desire Z, is just frustratingly slow (although much better with Flinny's Andromadus JB builds) I'm presuming due to the 512MB of RAM more than anything.

My last experience with ordering a device from the Play Store was not very good, hopefully I'll have more luck this time. Anyway, I'm in no hurry as the Atrix seems to be behaving itself now at least. Having to charge the batteries in an external charger is a major PITA though.

Edit: Micro-SIM, right? That's what I've already got in my HOX. I'm confused by all this Mini-SIM (which I always thought was just a 'SIM card'), Micro-SIM, Nano-SIM nonsense. Curse you Apple. I'm assuming a full-size SIM is a conventional (credit-card-sized) smartcard which nobody has used since.... Well, a long time ago, anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] cipsaz:
Omg, this is the best phone ever. It blows my T-Mobile SGII...

Took a few minutes to activate. It's easy as it gets.
[Nexus 4 General] big gulps huh?:
I left that checked.
[Nexus 4 General] ridearoundsolo:
I'm hoping that I get mine soon I'm tired of my HTC one s, for my personal needs it doesn't fulfill them, flashing roms are a pain and there is a limited amount of games, so I ran a stock ruu on the one s so I can give it to my dad since he's got an old g2x and it gives him nothing but problems he's even getting impatient with the nexus wait cuz he's sick of his g2x
[Nexus 4 General] jpdidde13:
If the sim was deactivated at least with most carriers you cannot reuse it
[Nexus 4 General] TrevSo:
Tracking was just updated -- coming tomorrow!
[Nexus 4 General] ridearoundsolo:
Got my ups email for a tomorrow arrival date! Perfect timing!
[Nexus 4 General] vikasverma:
what did you google wallet say at that time? was it in pending status?
[Nexus 4 General] Kid Poker:
Ordered on Tuesday, got the shipping email today saying I will get it tomorrow!
[Nexus 4 General] kompresor:
Hi, this is my order...

Order Date: January 31, 2013 11:26:50 AM UTC-8

Shipping estimate: February 13, 2013

Looking forward to get it!

Regards,

Jose.
[Nexus 4 General] vikasverma:
Did you uncheck "link to google account" while placing order?
[Nexus 4 General] qrist12:
Mine came from Louisville, KY. I am in South Florida
[Nexus 4 General] tracdoor:
Just got shipping email. Ordered 15:04 yesterday (UK). 8GB, ticked the link account box.
[Nexus 4 General] bainbridgematt:
I'm wondering if some of the shipping is being delayed to the Louisville, KY weather.

I ordered mine at 11:59 PST on the 29th. I'm in Cleveland, OH. 16GB with bumper. Not shipping information yet, and I did sign up for MyUPS.

From the UPS website.....

Severe weather in Louisville, KY caused a significant disruption to operations at Worldport®, UPS's main hub in the United States. As a result, some shipments may experience unavoidable delays.

UPS is working to move shipments to their final destinations as quickly as possible. You can track shipment progress on ups.com.

The UPS Service Guarantee does not apply when transportation networks are disrupted due to conditions beyond UPS's control.
[Nexus 4 General] zeeebs:
JUST got my UPS My Alert. Phone will be delivered tomorrow, bumper arrived today.

1-2 weeks my ass!

I have NOT received a shipping notification from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] KSP1138:
In my hands and already rooted!
[Nexus 4 General] jarsh92:
Just wanted to let everyone know, I ordered my N4 late tuesday night (29th), and got my shipping notification from google this morning saying my device was going to be here today. Got it like 4 hours later! Now just to wait until my new sim card arrives.......

Im in Central IL if anyone was wondering.
[Nexus 4 General] vikasverma:
would you please check what you google wallet says?
[Nexus 4 General] anjuice:
So I got my shipping email and tracking number this morning at 8:00, but the tracking isn't activated yet. I hope it comes tomorrow. Just wishful thinking x) but I hope that it doesn't arrive when nobody's home.

Do people get theirs delivered without any tracking updates?

Update: tracking is working now! Should see her tomorrow according to scheduled delivery date!!!
[Nexus 4 General] sennister:
Where are people getting the shipping notification? Email to your Gmail account?

I ordered 3 x 16GB Nexus 4 with bumpers on the afternoon of the 29th. Haven't seen anything yet.

While normally I would be excited to get this anyhow, it is more of an issue for me now as my HTC Thunderbolt is giving up the ghost. It constantly boot loops when I plug it into a charger or unplug it. This morning after charging overnight I unplugged it and it boot looped for 2.5 hrs. Once it finally came up I was down to 19% battery. So I had to plug it back in at the office. Yep started boot looping again... Grrrr. I am waiting on my SIM card anyhow though so I guess it isn't the end of the world. Can't activate it till that gets here.

Oh one is for me and the other two are for my parents. No, I am not trying to be greedy...
[Nexus 4 General] zeeebs:

[Nexus 4 General] BlackFang171:
Crap...I totally forgot about that. I was trying to go as fast as possible. I hope it does not mes things up for me since I have 2-factor auth turned on...maybe I'll turn it off for a bit to make it easier for them.
[Nexus 4 General] Hummeroid:
So confuse.

Don't know why they don't ship in order... I was early, and there's a charge to my card but nothing from Google. Order date: Jan 29, 2013 11:29:39 AM CST

Hoping it shows up before I get emails.
[Nexus 4 General] bainbridgematt:
Didn't have it checked on my order and still hasn't shipped.

I'm with you on that one.
[Nexus 4 General] id10terrordfw:
Yup, 11:22 CST and nada.
[Nexus 4 General] kompresor:
I forgot as well! Such a bad movement... Anyone with "link this account to the device" is getting it soon?
[Nexus 4 General] graffixnyc:
My N4 is sitting at home waiting for me :) Too bad I have class after work and won't get home until 11PM EST to play with it :(
[Nexus 4 General] bainbridgematt:
I didn't have it checked and order at 12:00 PST and I haven't gotten anything on mine so I'm not sure its correlated. Well I guess I can say that just because you didn't check the box doesn't mean you'll get it early. Can't say the opposite is true I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] kompresor:
I just got an email sayting that "Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order...." It shows Feb 13th. Just FYI.
[Nexus 4 General] cogency:
Anyone know what that checkbox even does?
[Nexus 4 General] bainbridgematt:
Guess I won't hold my breath since mine says the same thing.
[Nexus 4 General] Kid Poker:
I made sure I did. I was to quick on my order that I forgot to pick up the bumper, so I tried canceling my order but they said to cancel it online and place another one with the bumper. So they ended up couldn't cancel the order, and shipped 2 Nexus 4's my way by tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] id10terrordfw:
According to the Goog:
[Nexus 4 General] Kid Poker:
They open the box, link your Google account so when you get it, it's all set up and ready to go.
[Nexus 4 General] Michael95GT:
I left it checked. Don't really see what it did, except maybe put the wallpaper I had on my GS3 on my N4 when I signed in.
[Nexus 4 General] NoL1m1tZ:

gaffixnyc you live in NYC right? When did you order it?
[Nexus 4 General] pnight:
hi

i bought the nexus november 13 on play store (US)

they shipped it on november 27,

i returned it un december 8 because a yellow spot on lcd

i bought another nexus the same day for my sister, this nexus

was shipped on december 29

my N4 is on pre order now ( then they change to shipping stimate january 23,)

january 31 and my nexus was not shipped, the google play is showing the same shipping estimate on january 23

its amazing how i have to wait. for a replacement, 6 weeks, and based on comments here, they dont ship another

n4 until middle of frebuary. another 3 weeks, and they maybe ship the n4

i want to cancel my order now, maybe pay another 100 dlls for a ebay n4, or a att optimus G,

any more here with the same problem??

sorry for my english

im from mexico
[Nexus 4 General] sennister:
Crap, I forgot about the check block also. I don't know that the would need to open up the box. I would imagine that they know which device they are shipping to you and they could just watch for the device to show up on the web.
[Nexus 4 General] narezese:
Yesterday i ordered my third nexus, and today they sent me a second email (shipping information), im getting my Nexus Friday at the end of the day..
[Nexus 4 General] id10terrordfw:
That's what I posted above, according to their site.
[Nexus 4 General] SupaDupaFly24:
Finally mines arrived. Such a beautiful device!!
[Nexus 4 General] cipsaz:
Can you guys shake your phone and see if anything rattles inside?
[Nexus 4 General] TypoCorrecto:
It appears that I have a package...
[Nexus 4 General] bigkevbosky:
Yeah, sounds like coming from the camera area.
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Yea not loud tho its no biggy tho u not gonna be shaking your phone anyway normal use
[Nexus 4 General] cogency:
I could be wrong, but it seems hard to believe that they open each physical box to link the account... I'd say they maybe just take note of your IMEI or serial number and when it connects to the server will sync everything. This seems especially true when considering the phones are shipping directly from a UPS facility, not a Google warehouse.
[Nexus 4 General] cb474:
I ordered last night, Jan 30, at about 11:30pm. Then I signed up for a UPS My Choice account the way people have been posting about here. This morning at 11:23am I had an email from UPS saying a package has been shipped to me from "Google Android Co" and will be delivered tomorrow, Feb 1.

Meanwhile, my Google Wallet still says exactly what it said right after my purchase: "Your order has been sent to Google Inc." and "Google Inc. received your order." There is no "pending" or estimated delivery date and I have received no emails from Google.

But I know the charge has been approved on my credit card, because I got a call from the automated fraud alert system at my bank, double checking that the charge was legitimate (I guess even the banks know that Google is a shady business).

I'm guessing that Google's backend system for processing these orders and contacting customers is just really crappy and not automatically updating things and emailing people the way it should. But UPS, because this is their main business, is really good at this.

So Google is processing the orders and giving them to UPS for delivery, but then failing to update their own system. But, if you have the UPS My Choice account, as soon as your delivery address goes into the UPS system when they get the package froom Google, it recognizes who you are and emails you. After signing up for UPS My Choice last night, I even got an email this morning telling me a package had been delivered to me that I already got yesterday morning (it must have still been in their system).

So UPS seems very good at recognizing you by your address on the package and quickly contacting you. Google seems to perhaps be more efficient now at actually processing the orders and shipping them, but not at contacting people about the status of their order (kind of an embarrassment for a company that provides one of the most widely used email systems in the world and is supposed to be king of the hill for processing data).

By the way, I deliberately unchecked the box about linking the phone to my Google account, when I placed the order. So given the quick turn around on my order, this does not seem to effect when orders ship.
[Nexus 4 General] graffixnyc:
Yes, I'm in NYC. Ordered it at 12:21PM EST on 1/29

I ordered the bumper about 30 Min later and got tracking for that this morning
[Nexus 4 General] graffixnyc:
I believe you are correct. I have ordered 2 nexus 7's (first the wifi 16gb and then the 32gb HSPA+) and the Nexus 10 and had them all linked to my google account when I ordered. My box seals were intact on all 3 devices
[Nexus 4 General] hank_chinaski:
I assume that unchecking the box would cause the phone to ship more quickly since it would remove a step that needed to be completed by Google.
[Nexus 4 General] graffixnyc:
Had mine linked when I ordered and mine shipped the day after I placed my order
[Nexus 4 General] exygenysys:
For residential deliveries, can someone confirm that UPS does

not

require signature?

To recap: ordered 1:05 p.m. EST 1/29; got shipping confirmation and play store update this morning; departure scan from KY around two hours ago. 16gig w/account link w/bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] TrevSo:
I also had the box checked to link my account, and it shipped less then 24 hours later. I don't believe that has much to do with shipping speeds.
[Nexus 4 General] big gulps huh?:
I had checked the box but my phone was not "linked" in any way when I received it. I still had to log in as usual.
[Nexus 4 General] gab_hamelin:
I found the reason why they cannot ship every package, they are to busy installing the new statut outside the building,

:laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] kaitoyzc:
Just received! 4PM EST.

Requires signature!
[Nexus 4 General] killerbender:
Mine was left at the door
[Nexus 4 General] kompresor:
graffixnyc

Thanks for the info! Hopefully I get mine quick!
[Nexus 4 General] klvnhng:
Just called UPS CS, I can confirm this. However, they said that the decision to leave the package at the door is ultimately the driver's decision, so it would be wise to leave a signed note at the door allowing them to do this.
[Nexus 4 General] newcdn:
No it doesnt. UPS leaves it on your door.
[Nexus 4 General] TrevSo:
It depends on where you live. If you live in an apartment building, and they can't get inside, they're not going to leave it on the street.
[Nexus 4 General] albo23:
Does this new batch have the earpiece buzz or camera rattle issue?
[Nexus 4 General] fchowd0696:
So any reason why people who order a full day after me have theirs shipped already. I checked with UPS My Choice and I checked if my credit card has been charged... negative on both fronts. Its just frustrating that their is no method to Google's nexus 4 delivery madness.
[Nexus 4 General] nigelhealy:
said available 1-2 weeks but shipped day after order

Ordered mine Jan 30th its in in hands of UPS Jan 31st, due in my hands Feb 1st.:good:
[Nexus 4 General] hank_chinaski:
It is very frustrating. It almost seems like the best thing to do is to cancel and re-order, cancel and re-order, as many times as necessary to get it out the next day, since they either ship right away or not for weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] id10terrordfw:
I am in the same boat as you my friend.
[Nexus 4 General] fchowd0696:
Is there an actual google customer service number number to call where they have legitimate answers instead of a lady on the other end spewing some pr crap like "Sorry for your hassle but it is out of our hands".
[Nexus 4 General] id10terrordfw:
Larry Page's cell phone?
[Nexus 4 General] exygenysys:
Thanks. I'll be sure to leave a note then. That was really helpful!

Good luck to everyone else--my personal feeling would be that canceling and re-ordering is more likely to hurt than help your chances of quick shipping. As someone else in this thread said, deliveries may also be based on waiting for a sufficient quantity to be shipped to a particular location.
[Nexus 4 General] ixnfs:
waiting

i ordered on 29th around 2pm and still not shipped :(
[Nexus 4 General] graffixnyc:
No problem :)
[Nexus 4 General] Dynotrick:
same here also. no shipping, nothing from UPS mychoice, but there is a pending charge on my card. I'm in Dallas also :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] psychrage:
Not at all happy.

I don't think this is a good strategy.

I attempted to cancel my intial order within 30 minutes, and was APPARENTLY denied cancellation. I had replaced the ordered.

So I have 2 N4's incoming, but my order status hasn't changed on either. Both placed on the 29th. The first order at 9:21AM PST, and the 2nd at 10:06AM.

I DID recieve a survey on how the handled my cancellation request about an hour ago. But I don't even know that its cancelled. I'm so confused, and quite frankly not at all happy with how Google is handling this.

I've gotten no notifications from the UPS MyChoice service.
[Nexus 4 General] Zainiak:
Got mine a few hours ago!! Best phone I've used!
[Nexus 4 General] wildcard30:
In the same boat as some others ordered a 16GB on the 29th and nothing yet. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] gab_hamelin:
I agree with you. That's the only reason why they ship in order. They wait to have a full truck load before shipping. If a laod is going to Toronto and you order in time to be in it. Your good to go, But if you order from Montréal (or even Trois-Rivières in n'y case) They'll wait to have a couple order. It's just more efficient
[Nexus 4 General] ryan stewart:
I called and they are as useless as the web page. Nobody can explain the system, nobody knows what is going on. They just respond "wait to one to two weeks."

I don't buy the "truck load" argument because I live in metro Atlanta. Unless you're telling me that a city of 5.6 million people isn't going to generate enough orders to actually ship the box.
[Nexus 4 General] gab_hamelin:

[Nexus 4 General] fchowd0696:
Also does anyone know what this means? This morning I checked my bank account and there was a pending charge for Google Play Devices, but two hours ago it disappeared.
[Nexus 4 General] diablos991:
Finally was able to place another order for a Nexus 4.

I'm eagerly awaiting its arrival.

Going back to an S3 has been rough for me.
[Nexus 4 General] gab_hamelin:
Maybe not a truck, but a plane load?
[Nexus 4 General] psychrage:
I call BS on the truck load theory too. I'm in CA. I've seen people in this thread in CA with tracking info.
[Nexus 4 General] fchowd0696:
anyone who lives in New England that ordered in the last couple of days received a shipping notification yet?
[Nexus 4 General] iowabeakster:
Holy Smokes that was fast Google. They're definitely born again, and are serious this time, about the retail stuff.

Ordered it on Jan 29th... it's in my hand right now.

It wasn't nearly that fast when I ordered one for my wife on Nov 27th. It was more like 12-13 days that time.
[Nexus 4 General] ss222:
Has anyone from the Bay Area, CA received their Nexus 4? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] id10terrordfw:
The truck load theory wouldn't apply here as UPS is handling the entire logistical supply chain in the USA and Canada too I believe.
[Nexus 4 General] fchowd0696:
Damn.. Well happy for you.. Unfortunately Google has not fixed their ways for everyone. Plenty of people are still waiting or there are other issues like Google not notifying the costumer that their device has been shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] ss222:
As per Google customer service "They open the box long enough to update your details." :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] crshman:
I ordered mine on 01/29/2013 at 2:29pm PST and I haven't gotten any shipping notifications or anything. I'm from the bay area as well.

Card has a pending charge on it, but it hasn't settled...still waiting patiently. :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] iowabeakster:
Well, literally what happened:

Checked my gmail

Saw the email that it had shipped

Checked the traking info

Saw that it was out for delivery

Walked out the front door and picked it up off the porch...

lol
[Nexus 4 General] fchowd0696:
What is weird with mine is that it showed a pending charge on my bank account and then it disappeared a couple of hours ago. Its like Google is trying to tease me by saying "Hey, its this poor chumps turn to get his device shipped.... never mind well pass it till later." :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] exygenysys:
Yes, but remember that UPS isn't shipping only N4s: they have to incorporate those orders into everything else. Google might also be trying to send orders out equally based on geography. Or, the person in charge is busy reading this thread, finding the most anxious people, and putting their orders at the back of the list just to troll the f out of us. Who knows :) someone should really investigate Google's methodology, it'd make a lot of mo-nay
[Nexus 4 General] psychrage:
It'd probably COST alot of mo-nay to figure out Google's inner workings :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] setherd:
anyone gotten a 16gb one from the new shipment? I order an 8gb and a 16gb in seperate orders (16gb first) on Jan 29th. I received the 8gb today but no word yet on the 16gb
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
"1-2 weeks"

And people are already calling and emailing after 2 days?? I know it's frustrating to see people getting their phones, especially if you were early to order, but Google is still on target FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.

Calm down. Some of you guys are working yourselves up to a frenzy about nothing already.
[Nexus 4 General] lawrencc:
I'm in San Francisco. Still no notification.

It seems like most people getting notified are in the midwest or east coast. I haven't seen many California notifications.
[Nexus 4 General] ryan stewart:
Again, you think they are holding orders to the 9th largest metro in the US in order to fulfill ones to Iowa? Atlanta has nearly double the population alone, all in a dense area. You think they are getting more orders from Iowa? And that logistically it would make sense to send orders to individuals over an entire state instead of the logically larger order in a densely packed area?

There is no "reason" to Google's scheme other than incompetence. They seem to be less incompetent this time in as they seem to have more phones (although that is to be determined, since most people just get billed and have yet to receive a phone) but obviously they still haven't figured out this retail thing yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Skilzdatkilz21:
Guys I honestly cant tell you how much I am seriously loving this device. It is by far the best experience on android I have ever used. I've even used a Galaxy S3 and I still find myself just in shock about how much better this device is. Its funny how not too long ago I actually thought about getting an unlocked iPhone 5. Boy am I glad I didn't do that!

Everything about this phone is amazing and just straight up beautiful. I'm glad to now be part of the Nexus community!
[Nexus 4 General] albo23:
Can anyone tell me if they new N4's experience buzzing in the earpiece or camera rattle?
[Nexus 4 General] David !:
Its obvious reading your posts that UPS handles USA distribution, but what about the UK deliveries? thanks
