I was watching the Eagles "play" for 30 minutes and then changed the channel to watch some Formula 1. Now that that's over I'm watching Denver and San Diego. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Colts and Patriots! One screen for xda, the other for NFL haha
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I watched my Cowboys come back and take it in overtime, even if they looked like $#!+ doing it most of the game. Let's run this failed play three times in a row...:mad:

Watching the Denver/San Diego game right now.

Pats just took the lead 21-14. Aqib Talib had an interception return for a TD. Welcome to the team.

[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Just got off of the phone with Google and basically the rep told me that there are having some issues getting shipping info from UPS. He said that Google is going to make some type of announcement tomorrow and that the press has been asking a lot of questions. He basically said that he's clueless about when they'll ship the next batch.

Hopefully, we'll get free bumpers and shipping for the Limbo Nation!

[Nexus 4 General] jnewman1991:
It's cool. I've come to accept that this season just isn't going to end well. There's always next year... or the next.
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
That's more than one rep that has said there will be an announcement within the next 24-48, maybe just maybe they are right about that at least. I hope this applies to the UK too.....

It is a great story too. Lets be honest the mainstream media care only about Apple launches for the most part. But they will definitely pick up on this if Google come out and say:

"Due to crazy demand we sold out in minutes, apologies, and to make up for it people get free shipping and maybe a play store voucher or bumper"

That would look good for Google because

1) They are trying to fix it

2) Crazy publicity about how epic the phone is, and how cheap.

And let's be honest, it's not like they can not afford to make the statement and the gesture.....

Sorry, I am just running down that rabbit hole is all! :)
[Nexus 4 General] vita10gy:
Anyone know if they're leaving these at the door or if someone needs to sign?

I've read they didn't require signatures on the nexus 7. I had Friday off hoping to get it then, but I'll be at work Monday.

I had to be home to sign for the stupid $10/free straight talk sim, so now I'm nervous I'll have to screw around with the nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I'm pretty sure that anyone who gets their phones this week can pretty much forget getting any freebies in compensation.

If I get my phone I'll be fine

I was told I'm getting a free bumper and shipping . But if I get it I will be ok
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
I already asked for a free bumper and was told they'll put a notation on my account about that along with free shipping
[Nexus 4 General] Crusinx1:
Mine hasn't changed, the order was placed 11:41 est. I received the order confirmation email, nothing sense.

I would just like to mention that I placed an unrelated order on Amazon last night and received my shipping notification today.... If only Google could have done that. We would be enjoying our brand new Nexus 4s now instead of being consumed by this thread. Oh, just think of the possibilities.
[Nexus 4 General] vita10gy:
Yeah. They still could have done with better communication, but those of us getting it Monday are still in the 5 day "promise", and you could argue even Tuesday is.

Frankly I'd be a little annoyed having to wait until Monday and then people who had to wait one extra day got a free bumper. So safe to say someone will be upset no matter what they do, unless they just do free bumpers or shipping all around.
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
Were there any freebies given out for the botched Nexus 7 launch?
[Nexus 4 General] AIovanna:
No sig...they will leave your valuables laying around for any smuck to pick up and carry it away...
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
With that glass back a bumper's not going to be enough for me so I'm not too worried about it. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] vita10gy:
Ironically, that's the answer I was hoping for.

Checking in from my email yesterday.. I was the one who posted about the mass email..obviously that didn't happen unless we're counting the now infamous Victor email? Lmao. I think what the rep told me about the timing was obviously wrong, but I bet something goes out sometime Monday.

Catching up, I'm in Limbo Level 3; The Betrayed hahaha!

I was trying not to post today, but my Eagles pissed me of so much this afternoon that I got angry all over again! I wanted to vent and redirect my anger back to Google. :eek:

Free bumper? I presume your reply was based on irony. Those bumpers cost 34 cents to produce. Just because they charge $20 does not give it real value.

[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
This is depressing, U.S orders have been seeing activity all weekend, including shipping notices at the weekend - what!? - Google need to phone their other departments in other countries and get them working too.

But if U.S 'backorders' are starting to get shipped already, maybe there's a good chance we will all get them in a few days.

Big maybe, I know. :)

I guess Monday might be a big day, hopefully everyone will get shipping notices or at least some information from google.
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Try 40 minutes
[Nexus 4 General] devcurious:
*disengages lurk mode*

Unless a signature is required, it is completely up to the driver as to whether or not they leave it.

It's called a "driver release", and if the driver feels that they can leave in a "reasonably safe" location on the premises, they can leave it. They are usually pretty careful because if something does get stolen, and they DR'd it, they get in an amount of trouble roughly porportional to the value of the package.

Most of these guys have been on their routes for years, they pretty much know which neighborhoods (and houses) are safe to DR.

for those in NYC i have calculated the total of the nexus 4

$349.00-price

Sorry, couldn't find your original post, I just knew you weren't who I was replying to. I was telling someone what to do in the unlikely event that google blacklisted their IP. I have now found your post. You described a completely different problem. And you are on the German play store, correct? Earlier today, not recently, I'd been spamming the US site with the page monitor.

It is entirely possible that you caught the German site in the middle of re-configuring in preparation for the sales. Ask a friend who is local and not on your same ISP to try to access it.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
I know...

Same with Nexus 7, all orders from the first WEEK were included in 1st wave of dispatches.

People think this is gonna sell out instantly LOL

Only people in the UK who follow xda, and android websites even know about the Nexus 4.

[Nexus 4 General] scae:
I had the same issue. I test ordered a nexus 7 in order to test the process and got errors. I played around a bit in google wallet to check the validity of my credit card, in case that was the issue, but it was fine (p.s. you can add delivery addresses there). By the time I came back to the play store to try again everything was working fine. Must have been a temporary glitch.
[Nexus 4 General] marvi0:
Guys I hope this don't sound scilly but no devices are showing up on my play store, on my phone, am in uk. I know the nexus 4 is not out yet but the nexus 7 has been out a while, and I assumed it would be on my play store, any advice please.

The way I see it, if you have an active tracking number, you aren't in limbo. Not knowing what's going on *at all* really sucks. Now I have to pay for another month of service on my old plan since it's over tonight at midnight. Totally thought I'd have more than enough time when I ordered this phone. We all should be able to count on a company as big as Google to be able to handle a product release, sadly we were all proven wrong.

Even if a miracle happens and I receive my phone Monday or Tuesday, I will still be extremely disappointed with the lack of communication and professionalism. Not to mention the lies we were all told by the people who are representing Google Play.

So I just skipped about 60 pages. Some of you may hate me, but my N4 shows as arriving tomorrow per UPS. I got my order in around 10:30 EST, but my debit card was borked and didn't clear. Took till Wednesday to get it paid for. Shipped Thursday. I was afraid I'd be backordered, but hoped it would ship once I sorted the payment nonsense. So IMHO, Google Play did well by me!

Just repaired the screen and capacitive buttons on my GS II and switched it from Darkside to CM 10. My 12 y.o. daughter will get it tomorrow. We're both psyched! Though I think I can sell the TMO GS II, car dock and her My Touch 4g, buy her an 8gb N4 when they're back in stock and come out $50-$100 ahead!
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
Yeah, neither has mine.

But at least we'll be even more excited when we actually receive it due to the long wait. :)

I just hope none of us who ordered early and had to wait don't receive any defected units - as the anger would tip-the-scales. lol
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
I realize that a lot of us are in limbo and upset that we haven't been given any information about what's been going on with our phones (myself included) but remember that this is the" Play Store orders and shipping thread" and people have every right to post excited "I just got my tracking info" posts as we have the right to continue complaining about our orders. Knowing that people are actually getting something is at least a pleasant distraction from the ridiculous amount of depressing posts that have been made here the past few days. If you want all out depression we can always make a backordered and limbo thread.
