I just noticed the same thing. When I called CS, they told me that Google Wallet is acting glitchy today and probably why I haven't received a tracking number yet. If I refresh enough times, it shows it in "Pending" with nothing in completed. Other times, it shows nothing at all. My guess is that they're moving something with Google Wallet which could mean they're working on everyone's orders that had issues with the purchase. That might just be wishful thinking but I guess we'll just wait and see.
[Nexus 4 General] PaisanNYC:
I rarely played with it. But so far I haven't noticed anything wrong with the phone. The only issue I had was when I applied the BSE skin on the front, I think it darkened the light going into the proximity sensor. When I make a call, the screen immediately goes black, and i cannot do anything while in a call. I peeled the skin off, and the phone worked like normal while on a call. I have a new BSE coming, so hopefully it was just one bad skin.
[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
I appreciate it. This whole thing has been gut-wrenching since the beginning for everyone involved. Now there's just a few more people left (myself included) and hopefully all will be well. As much as I would like a orb charger for this, I don't see it happening and I wouldn't want to push my luck. I'll just be happy once I have the damn thing in my hand.

if it doesn't have a cutout for the proximity sensor it's going to go black. Not sure why as other phones do not do this but I guess the Nexus 4's prox sensor is extremely sensitive. People had the same issue with the SGP screen protectors.

There is a thread on here about that issue, tons of people got them without the proximity sensor cut out, and there is suppose to be one. Even after people get the replacement it still isn't the one that has the cut out, that's what they're saying.

The phone has finally been delivered and I am limboless for the first time in 16 days. As an occasional poster/mostly lurker, I have thoroughly enjoyed this thread and must especially thank users like MaxCarnage, dirtyhampster76, Euler MD, WhenBearsReign, Trashville and many others for keeping things entertaining and for the solidarity. There were tons of memes, CSRs, craft beers, heavy drinking and, lest we forget, shemales, and it has really made me love the Android world even more than I already did.

[Nexus 4 General] rock7632:
So my order looks like its officially lost. UPS claims they never got possession of the package from Google. Google says its "en route" to UPS and that I should give it a few days. Tracking status still says "A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status will be updated', scheduled delivery date is still 11/29/2012 and the UPS truck already came to my neighbor's house and left 2 hours ago. I really don't know what to make of this. I'm in shock right now

Good news guys! So after updating my card and then receiving a cancellation email last night, I spoke to a CSR and they said it seemed not to be cancelled on their end, still pending. I was skeptical but I called again, spoke to a specialist, she also confirmed it wasn't cancelled. Finally my dad got home and checked his CC statement (his card was the new one I put in in place of the supposed faulty one) and there was a full charge from Google for the phone. I called again, lady said for security reasons she couldn't see exact card information but said that I would be alright as long as the charge appeared on the new credit card and to expect a notification in the coming days! Might be a bit of a delay because of the payment issue but as long as it's here sometime early next week I'll be a happy camper :highfive:

[Nexus 4 General] WhenBearsReign:
I just spoke with one of the loveliest, helpful and sassy CSR's I think I've EVER communicated with. I'm sure someone else here has also spoken with her in the past, her name is Jasmine and she's pretty awesome. She put me on a rather long hold to go over my entire case and came back and said, "Okay, this has been escalated to a specialist on multiple occasions and they have come back each time saying, 'he should have his tracking number by now'. But of course, you don't have your tracking number yet so obviously they have no idea what they are talking about. I'm going to go over my bosses head and send this to a level three specialist," I didn't expect much from this, of course, but then she told me that if I don't get my tracking number by tonight that she will give me her direct line so her and I can call UPS together and find out where my package is. The email she sent me has her direct phone line.

She was genuinely pissed that I still haven't gotten any information and seems willing to help me out if I still hear nothing from the specialist. Here's to hope!
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Yeah... I got a cheek for them alright.... messing with my emotions like that. Ppfft
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Ya completely strange. Wanna here something stranger when I first received the phone I didn't have my BSE yet as it hadn't been shipped yet.

[Nexus 4 General] cphancock1:
I know Im going to get some angry replies on this but there is a difference from the 3 to 5 day quote, and the 1 to 2 weeks or 4 to 5 weeks that people got this week. Google had a problem with too many orders getting through the first time, then there was the f5 and grey proceed button glitches that people used to force their orders through. So way more phones got sold then what they had. In essence the 3 to 5 day quote didnt apply to most people. But the 2 or 3 weeks back order mail did. And guess what your phones came right on time. 2 weeks. and it doesnt seem anyone will have to wait the full 3 weeks. Unless google sends out more back order emails I would fully expect all orders to arrive on time or early. No reason to scare the people with the 4 to 5 week waiting time, they may even have hope of an early arrival. I ordered a phone the first time and it got canceled do to a shipping error. It was my fault not googles. And now im waiting 1 to 2 weeks for my second order.

Wow, the Tmo store I went into was going to do it for free. There are templates you can find online to cut your own, but you run the risk of botching it like a Fresco, in which case you're paying Tmo $20 anyways. Are you on contract with Tmo?
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Even though you didn't quote me I'll assume you are talking to me :) I did ask if I could exchange it for a new one, it was Google that mentioned fixing it with Asus because it was past the 14 day widow. But it's fine, screen flicker is gone practically, haven't seen it in a while. And I took the back off the n7 and loosened and then tightened the screws, played a game to get it hot, placed a few books on it so the glue would get soft then reharden, and it hasn't budged, screen is flat as a board :)

That is UPS' excuse when the driver wanted to go home without finishing their deliveries. If it were really left behind at the facility, they wouldve found it in the morning right after all the trucks left. When the trucks leave the bays, the loading area should be clean of parcels.

You are right lol well when I first got it when I made my first few calls when I paid a power bill its was like in and out and when I put it up to my face it would hit numbers and throw the automated call off. I then used a toolbox about 20 min later to root unlock bootloader and all that good stuff. Maybe its not the sensor but some software issue making the sensor act wacky or weak at times. Maybe I'm just over thinking it to but strange why it works now and with a BSE on. As far a naked yes I felt that way my N4 lived in a sock within a sock within a microfiber bag for 3 days till I got a cheapo protector from eBay I had ordered on it.

I'd like to say I'll never go through with this again, but I went through it with the N1 and N7 and will probably will again in the future :P Whatever it takes to avoid the carrier bloat.

It's much lighter than I expected. I guess I'm comparing it with the density of the Nexus 1.

It does seem to slip easily if I place it on a hard solid surface. Maybe this kind of glass has mechanical applications where low friction is needed.
