Says "scheduled to ship THIS WEEK" since orders are not processed/shipped on weekends, and Monday is already over... its pretty certain it will be sent out within a day or two.

You've waited this long, sure you can wait another couple days..

And trust, that the Phone is not all that special. I've had mine for a little over a week, and I hate it.

That's why I'm getting rid of the 2 I ordered from Google, asap.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
not that special? why not? and why selling?
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
LL3. Got email yesterday at 12AM and the Play Store date changed to 27th, but my account hasn't been charged yet. Google please don't troll me again.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
What they should have done at the start.. Better late than never I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
Shipping confirmations are being sent out in germany since this morning.

google also states on their play store website "nexus 7 - the perfect present". so for those who are waiting to order, theres a big chance of getting it until christmas :)
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
i want nexus 4!!!! i've already bought the seven! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] funziebear:
I just got of the phone with google to cancel an order and they couodnt cuz the phone was out to shipper already , soon there will be lots of happy people on here
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
to make me happy...they have to restock the stores :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] UberSlackr:
The handset I have has some sound issues...

One being The speakerphone is horrible, turned all the way up the caller's voice is distorted, turned down enough that the distortion goes away it becomes hard to hear what the person is saying.

If you place the phone on its back onto the table, the sound is muffled.

The earpiece, pretty much the same issue. Only way to get a clear sounding call is by using bluetooth. Its as though LG installed the crappiest speakers they could find.

The rattle sound that people have mention, is more noticeable than I thought it would be. It was constantly rattling when I'm jogging..

The lack of accessories is irritating; The bumper provides no type of protection.

The phone feels so fragile that I'm afraid to use it..

Because I ordered 2, and Google backordered them... So I bought one else where. Google would not let me cancel the order.

So now I have 2 coming that I do not need. One is for someone, she likes that phone, even with its annoyances.

The other I'll be selling.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
lol, just went on a mad ebay shopping spree, just to protect my baby when it's delivered.
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
you phone hitler :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:

[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
I received the "will be dispatched this week email" too (UK)
[Nexus 4 General] elias0441:
Apparently Google has a limit of 2 per customer.

[Nexus 4 General] funziebear:
This is true I just went to see if they had change the out of stock and I got greated with this
[Nexus 4 General] siloner:
So my fiance decided to keep the N4 that was bought by mistake. anyone have recommendations on a case for it? I do not trust her with this phone lol

Limbo Land The Betrayed!
[Nexus 4 General] Vante:
I am curious to know how so many online stores (and ppl selling on amazon, craiglist, ebay etc) got so many phones to sell in the first place, if this really is the case.

Or, is it that they have just decided to implement this?
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
I think it's new, after some ebay scalpers got about 40 of them at once.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
It was 10 at launch
[Nexus 4 General] Vante:
I am surprised no one at Google thought "Gee I know the N4 is awesome, but I wonder why someone wants 10 of these?? Couldnt possibly be buying them to make a profit on ebay, could they??" when they got the orders.

Although, I read somewhere that they are prioritizing BOs with one phone (or was it two) over ppl who have ordered multiple. Really I think the person who makes these decisions was on Vacation during launch and the rest of the team just went "the hell with it, lets just work as per protocol. To hell with common sense!"
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Seriously. I could see a limit of 3 being ok since some people are upgrading their whole family's phones, but no more. That was just ridiculously stupid on Google's end and it facked us all over.
[Nexus 4 General] pack21:
ALELUIA!

Glad to hear it, is an end to the shamelessness that was at launch.

I`m happy Now, that i have some hope to purchase mine, without needed to wake up with my finger on F5.
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
Someone reported yesterday that 2 unseen changes were made to the Play Store page, I wonder if these were the changes.

No more phones for the scalpers :) What about the ebay guys that are already selling and just waiting to order more :)
[Nexus 4 General] pandamaja:
Aside from the update email, I have a new pending charge on my CC from google for this phone. It likely to shop today or tonight. (I'm hoping)
[Nexus 4 General] Clayfree:
I think we will be getting ship notices tonight.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Is it true they aren't doing overnight shipping anymore? I feel like if they did it for people last week then they have to do it for us who have waited so long.
[Nexus 4 General] mcgils:
I got a UPS shipping notification this morning. The shipper isn't listed, but I'm not expecting anything else. Anyone else get one?
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
No shipping notes from Google yet. I wouldn't expect them until afternoon at the earliest. No need to get your hopes up.

I ordered a nexus 4 and all I got was bo.
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
Woke up to a myups email... for my amazon items I ordered last night. Grrr

Will just sit back and wait while being sick
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
Relax my friend! It will come. No need to stress over a phone lol!!!

You sir I applaud. Thanks for not trying to make a buck. There's a guy here waiting for the Play Store to get stock. I forget his user name, but you should sell to him/her. Also, you can't post in the XDA Marketplace because it is closing. They stopped letting people make new threads for selling on the 19th and will make it read only on the 30th which is Friday of this week.

I can't wait to get this phone. It is so close I can taste it! We will all be excited this week. Shipping emails will be had today. I have a feeling. They have started taking the money out of our accounts and that means they are shipping. If I remember right, a lot of people didn't get a shipping notification last time they shipped and N4's just started showing up. Anyway, let's hope they go out today!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] James BlackHeron:
I got a ship notice this morning too!

But after looking at my Amazon purchases page I realized it was an item I bought there that I thought had already shipped (via USPS) but I was wrong, it is shipping UPS. I have a couple of items coming from USPS and am pretty sure if I get another UPS ship notice it'll be the N4
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
We think they did it last week to be able to meet their times for those without back orders.

They already back ordered us, another day isn't going to add more damage.
[Nexus 4 General] vdaves:
Why is it that the Germans get the first notice :P:P ? Even yesterday, they started receiving notifications the earliest :P
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
Better get to my bio then
[Nexus 4 General] adxxda:
3 more hours to go ???
[Nexus 4 General] GoreTan:
Disappointment!
[Nexus 4 General] AngkorDeNNiS:
Yep no phone yet, another 3 hours to go then.
[Nexus 4 General] HA3AP:
Damn... Ok 3 more hours to go
[Nexus 4 General] Mr. Droid:
3 more hours nooooo
[Nexus 4 General] HideYoKids:
never seen pages fill up so fast
[Nexus 4 General] Nickel Dime Bay:
lol told ya
[Nexus 4 General] Plexicle:
You are very wrong.

Also, it sold out in Australia in 12 minutes.
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
it's cool, 3 hours to go!
[Nexus 4 General] xSunny:
Imagine google just trolled everybody on the EST time gonna put the phone up in 10 mins hoping everybody gets of so there servers don't get destroyed
[Nexus 4 General] mgorman:
I'm glad I work midnights so I can sit at work and hit F5 all night lol
[Nexus 4 General] VictorNYC:
Lol ! I knew it ! They are based in California ! That kinda makes sense !
[Nexus 4 General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
ORDERED!!!

...just kidding :D
[Nexus 4 General] intern:
Remember guys, it didn't go live on the Aus site on the hour, it was at like 12.15pm..
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
Would be quite amazing if it sold out in like 30 seconds.
[Nexus 4 General] neodoru:
Tell that to the people in Australia... for them it's sold out!
[Nexus 4 General] ak700:
DAMN NO!!!

BTW Guys, There is an add on for chrome for auto refresh. Use that

[Nexus 4 General] GoreTan:
fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
[Nexus 4 General] gasparzim:
So, it's kinda hard to get one, right? A friend of mine is going to USA december 20, and we were thinking about buying one each. Yesterday Play store was out of stock - we tought about buying it now, so we could have a chance of getting around the end of december...

Do you guys have any advice? Should we take the risk? I know it's a great phone, and unfortunately, there is not even a trace of possibility of N4s around here in Brazil. Plus, if we had it, it would problaby cost 3 or 4 times the price in USA.
[Nexus 4 General] Gloularis:
Time zone?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Yeah I agree. I'm just excited to know it will be shipped this week :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] housry23:
There's a good possibility they will be available to order this week. Keep an eye on the Play store and use the in stock website. THere's also an app that will notify you when it's in stock in the Play Store. There will be a limit of 2 per person now. I think this could happen for you if you keep an eye on the Play Store bro. Good luck my friend.
[Nexus 4 General] jlochamy:
They ones that got overnight still paid for shipping. Ours will be free. So I am happy with free shipping and waiting a day.
[Nexus 4 General] Vante:
Ur only option for now is to wait till the 2nd batch is up for sale in the play store. Depending on the shipping time required, you can make your decision on when to purchase.

How long is your friend going to be in the US. If its for around a month, he shouldnt have any issues with delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
Yes probably.. there are 6 hours difference between US and here.. cant believe thats it 7 am there right now.. as it is here 2 pm :D my day is allmost over again, and it just started there..
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
Just speculation but good chance orders might open up today. T-Mobile came back in stock in the middle of the night

sent from my Hercules
[Nexus 4 General] gasparzim:
Thanks :)

I'm downloading the Nexus 4 Stock Alert, since I can't check the play store from here. :good:

EDIT: looks like the App checks for my country's Play Store... hmm, wonder if it will work with market enabler..
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Same here. I was just wondering if they were still doing it.
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
ordered more then 2 nexus 4??? you MIGHT be sucking

Ill just leave this here...

http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-4-purchases-limites-play-store-134437/
[Nexus 4 General] gasparzim:
He will be only for ten days... wish us luck :D
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
i am not sure if it for old orders as well, those who placed more than 2 should get them I guess, it would be enforced for new orders is my guess ..but again the whole Nexus 4 ordering & shipping thing is a black hole.
[Nexus 4 General] ferozfero:
SAME HERE SAME HERE...WISH ME LUCK TOO...hehe
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Good luck man, hopefully you get them! If you can't get them on the Play Store you could go to a T-Mobile store if you want to shell out 500 a piece.
[Nexus 4 General] Gloularis:
I wonder if this applies per day only or per Play Store user.
[Nexus 4 General] gasparzim:
500 for the 16Gb unlocked? If so, I guess the final price is not so different form ordering one from google Play, right?
[Nexus 4 General] sublimnl:
There is no source for the original article about this at Phandroid, so I'm not sure how much stock to put into this statement. If it is true then why can't Google just make an official statement on the matter? I ordered 4 for legitimate reasons and now who knows whether I receive all four, just two, or none at all when this new batch ships out! This is BS if it is affecting old orders - they need to be more clear.
[Nexus 4 General] fresh_TD:
According to the article. Is per customer/user
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
it's per account ...I ordered 2 and now I have limit reached on the 16gb in the play store

but yeah I don't need more than 2 ...
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Yes $500 for 16GB unlocked. It was $380 on the Play Store for my 16GB after tax and shipping. Mine got backordered though so I am getting my shipping refunded. You would save about $100 if you manage to get them on the Play Store.
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
500 vs. 400 is pretty different.
[Nexus 4 General] sublimnl:
Nexus 4 (16GB) from Play is $350 + tax + shipping = $392 here in Texas.

Nexus 4 (16GB) from T-Mobile is $500 + tax = $540. ~$555 if you need shipping

Big difference.
[Nexus 4 General] pitchshifter:
little late for that, I mean you really have to inept to not realize there should be launch day limit.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

I think t-mobile is asking 450 some places before tax...but we agree..I don't know what that guys talking about with "no difference"
[Nexus 4 General] sublimnl:
No - a little late for them to be imposing limits on orders that were placed within an hour after launch. They are the inept ones for not putting a limit out there to begin with. Regardless, there should be an official statement on the matter or e-mail sent out to those affected stating what the impact of this supposed new rule is.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I agree but if they did not have the limit in place on launch day it really would not be fair to implement it now to previously ordered devices.

sent via xda premium with nexus 7 while waiting for my back ordered Nexus 4!
[Nexus 4 General] Deciare:
Heh! Retroactive, I like that. This is how it should have been done from the beginning. Shame on the scalpers who already got tens of phones shipped to them, and good on Google for not letting those people screw legitimate buyers again. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Gloularis:
Yes, it wouldn't be fair for first time buyers. Anyway, Google really sucks at handling this product deployment, or any other device for that matter. Just terrible.
[Nexus 4 General] flight777:
There are also people who order it for people who live in countries where the Nexus is not available... I'm dependant on a XDAer from the US so if his orders gets cancelled (because he helped a few of us), we are ****ed :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] VoiD_Dweller:
I had a dream last night - when my 2nd nexus 4 arrived, I opened the box and pulled the plastic off the screen to reveal tons of hairline scratches all over it.. Ugh..
[Nexus 4 General] renegadeMind:
This is good news! This will make it much harder for people who want to order like 22 devices for their relatives.. Fking scalpers!!
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
No mate, i'm dependant trough the same xda member as u are ;) I think this will be a problem for the new buyers but not us. They cant change the "terms of agreement" when you agreed to buy something which is in this case an "order" with couple of devices.

well, lets hope they wont.
[Nexus 4 General] gasparzim:
Sorry, I meant little difference. Like, searching google, I found the S3 price without contract goes for about US$ 549, around BR R$ 1150; the S3 here, without contract, is selling for BR R$ 1999, or US$ 960.

Yep, it's a steal, considering that the BR model does not even have 4G.
[Nexus 4 General] PoisonWolf:
Lol. Wrong.

Any purchase is not a "terms of agreement". If you read the fineprint, in most cases, companies reserve the right to modify, or even downright cancel the order.

I hope they cancel as many orders as they can that have more than 2 devices per account, at least for the first 3 ~ 6 months until the order rate declines.
[Nexus 4 General] renegadeMind:
What is the legitimate reason for ordering 4?? Anyone who wants a phone can order it from the play store using their own account!! And please don't reply saying your parents or relatives are too old for the internet so i need to order for them.. if they are too old for the internet, they are too old for the phone too..
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
well thanks but we wont selling those devices through ebay or something but will using them ;) we cant buy it here in the netherlands.. where can i buy it then? that doenst make sense.
[Nexus 4 General] flight777:
Except for people who live outside the 4 or 5 countries where it is available and don't want to pay the LG price of €599 when they come in store somewhere in 2013....
[Nexus 4 General] sublimnl:
Me, my wife, and my brother-in-law and father-in-law who were not able to order on launch day in Australia. We leave this Saturday to go visit them and planned on taking them their phones. Do you need to see my itinerary to believe me?

Also, it is perfectly reasonable that people would have others order for them. Maybe they aren't quick under pressure when trying to check out, maybe they don't have a CC tied to their Google Wallet for quick checkout, maybe they tried and tried and tried but failed to get one on launch day and told a friend who was having better luck to get them one too. Not everyone who ordered more than 1 is a scalper. Get off your high horse.
[Nexus 4 General] dmkozak:
Isn't the N4 being sold in Australia? Doesn't Australia have its own play store?
[Nexus 4 General] pack21:
I hope Nexus 4 on Ebay, starts gather dust there for a long time, as people start buying on google store.
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
But with maximum 2 devices, does this mean maximum 2 devices per order, becouse you can as many orders as you want.. but they will charge the fees per order.. so that wouldnt be a problem if you make 1 order per device.

Or am i wrong ?
[Nexus 4 General] renegadeMind:
Not a legitimate reason.. almost everyone has relatives who want the nexus 4 and couldn't buy it; so if even 5% of us buy like you did; the phone will be sold within 5 minutes the next time its available. 2 per variant seems to be a reasonable number..
[Nexus 4 General] PoisonWolf:
Most likely tied to your google account.

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:49 AM ----------

I'm not sure to be honest. It really depends on the contract that Google has with LG.
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
Of course it is legitimate. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Gloularis:
3 ~ 6 months? I guess many people will forget the phone ever existed 6 months from now, I don't get why Google cannot properly restock without taking this measure. I'm sure LG can build way more phones at a fast rate. I guess they are afraid they won't sell.
[Nexus 4 General] PoisonWolf:
1 person legitimately needs 4, as opposed to 4 people getting 1.

In the eyes of the company, getting the device into as many hands as possible is more important than pleasing the few who legitimate needs more than 2 (while I do know in your case, it is technically also being handed to multiple hands, but who knows how Google sees these things).
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
If you guys really want to order more than 2 just make multiple Google accounts. Not that hard.
[Nexus 4 General] sublimnl:
Yes, as I said, they were unable to get it on launch day just like many here were not due to the screwed up Google checkout process.

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------

By legitimate I mean for reasons other than scalping and that the 4 devices would be going to 4 individual people. How is that not legitimate?

---------- Post added at 07:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 AM ----------

Like I said, this is 4 devices going to 4 people. This still gets the phone into as many hands as possible. I dont see how you dont understand that.
[Nexus 4 General] PoisonWolf:
Tough luck then. Many people couldn't get their orders through. If you get your order of 4 phones, great. If not, all I can say is tough luck.

Guys, just bear with Google. You guys are acting as though 2~4 weeks is an eternity.

Geez, most of you need to just see this and shut your full cup.
[Nexus 4 General] siloner:
I ordered 3. 1 for me, 1 for a member here that couldn't get through, and 1 went through by accident. The fiance decided to keep it. and to clear things up, I think the limit will be set for the next batch. I was already charged for all 3 phones

Limbo Land The Betrayed!
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
it's 2 each of 8 and 16 per google account
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Looks like there may be a limit on n7 3g too. Lets me add up to 5 to cart with the other 2 versions allowing up to 10.

Also n10 only allows 5.
[Nexus 4 General] walloftext:
According to this: http://www.androidauthority.com/nexus-4-purchases-limites-play-store-134437/

All the scalpers are going to be Screwed over.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
They may just do it per shipping address.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Ask a neighbor to use their address. Theres a bunch of ways to get around it if you really want to.
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
those who want more than 2 to resell will always find a way to get more ...
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
I bought on t-mobile i thought that is 500 but was 500+tax+prepaid chip(you cant buy without one)=600$

I just bought cause i did my friend drive for two hours for me,so when he calls i couldnt say no...
[Nexus 4 General] pack21:
I think not just adress, but too CC.

CC will kill the scalpers.

I hope.
[Nexus 4 General] tatical:
It looks like the limit is two phones, I just saw this on the Play Store:
[Nexus 4 General] Appatar:
And finally...

Looks like Google is learning some manners..:good:
