Yeah I got the same thing...
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
then I wouldn't worry about it too much. At least you know it's coming to you vs a lot of people who are either BO'd or stuck in limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
This has been established so many times today. IF YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE BACKORDER EMAIL, THEN YOUR ORDER HAS SHIPPED.
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
Hopefully they send me 6 of them but only charge for 1. This would make for a good excuse to not use any screen protectors or other garbage. I hate screen protectors and cases as much as I hate condoms. I think I'm just anti-protection all together.
[Nexus 4 General] mchimney:
I call bs. No proof of that, maybe they will ship later today or tmrw
[Nexus 4 General] binbin123:
I got the same thing too when email them. I think it's an automatic email. Called the rep and she said it will be shipped by tonight but I guess she have no idea. Also, I have a backorder email due to two orders (1 canceled after 1 minutes of order). :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] CoCoGirl886:
So what speeds will you be getting on tmobile...? Will it be the same speeds you would get if you had gotten the t-mobile version?
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Youre annoying.
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
There's no way either of those companies have that many warehouses....
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
Not true. I have My UPS and have not had any emails from them nor Google telling me my order has been shipped or backordered.
[Nexus 4 General] Initial_G:
Just got off the phone with a representative the second time today. The rep told me that tracking information should be sent out by 9 pm PST. This is also after he asked me whether or not I got a BO email. He also said if I don't get my tracking info yet I should just reply back to the email he sent me and things will be sorted out.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
The CSR have no clue what's going on. I remember when they sent out the "we noticed you have multiple orders and we want to confirm you meant to order them, you have 24 hours to cancel" email. I doubled checked my Google Wallet and responded with an e-mail 5 minutes later, stating everything was correct. I had 3 separate orders, 2 N4 16gb(ordered 7 hours apart), 1 bumper, and another bumper that I canceled immediately after noticing I had 2 bumpers. Keep in mind I got a confirmation of this unwanted bumper being canceled as I wished 12 hours before getting this e-mail.

1 hour later the CSR responded, thanking me for my reply. He stated that my 2 N4's and 1 bumper where processed and good to go, but unfortunately 1 bumper didn't make it due to being

sold out

. Lol.. I canceled it 12 hours prior. Like many that were told they were go to go over 24 hours ago.. I got a back order e-mail.

TL:DR, don't believe anything the CSR says!
[Nexus 4 General] norazi:
the point is that there is no point in asking questions about your order in this thread since no one knows, not the google csr, and certainly not random nerds posting on a forum
[Nexus 4 General] D_Rob:
Ordered at 11:31 EST. No emails, pending in bank and in Wallet. Easy, ordered a bumper at 11:34, absolute lunacy lol. Said transaction error, got a email though on that one.
[Nexus 4 General] siberian85:
My phone say also jaksonvile i am in orland fl hoping will be here tomorrow
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I would hardly call an unsubstantiated claim by a few Google reps " established".
[Nexus 4 General] dnlsmy:
No backorder email yet, and no shipping email yet here in Tampa FL. I ordered 4, 1 set of 3 and a separate 16GB. All say Shipping estimate Nov 15th. I actually had 2 more sets of 2 8GBs ordered, and I cancelled both of them. One shows up as cancelled in the Play Store, the other shows up as Pre-Ordered, but both are cancelled in Google Wallet. Anyone still without any email whatsoever besides initial receipt?
[Nexus 4 General] Sturos:

[Nexus 4 General] KonstantinKeller:
The reps go by what the system says. It might not have registered your cancellation yet. How would the rep have known that you have 2 Nexus 4s and 1(or 2) bumpers ordered? The system.
[Nexus 4 General] BLAQK ROXSTAR:
I haven't received a shipping confirmation or back order email. I ordered to phones but they were two separate orders.
[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:

[Nexus 4 General] unkn0wnz:

[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Why would you cancel it? You would have been first in line when they got to it. Within 3 weeks means 1 day to 21 days.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
I was about to post this same response...thanks
[Nexus 4 General] dnlsmy:

On a related note, T-Mobile just graciously emailed me that "The Nexus 4 has arrived!" :p
[Nexus 4 General] unkn0wnz:
I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't lol.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
wow, congrats...you might be the earliest order (i can remember off the top of my head) that has shipped.

lucky!!
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I love seeing all these people who ordered after I did getting their phones tomorrow while I'm sitting here wondering what the heck is going on. :rolleyes:

[Nexus 4 General] silver91342:
Same here 8:33am PST order still pending no emails? what a ****ing joke.
[Nexus 4 General] Nayners:
Funny that all those haters that were in the thread earlier have disappeared. You know, the ones that said no way we would get the device Saturday (or Friday).

How does crow taste?
[Nexus 4 General] jasonwc:
A number of people ordered prior to 8:34. I ordered a 16 GB Nexus 4 at 8:33 and my phone shipped. While some people that ordered early have been backordered, the information we have indicates a VERY STRONG correlation between the time you placed your order and whether you received a shipping confirmation.

18 of us Californians ordered in the first 30 minutes. Only 3 of the 18 have been backordered.

16 of the Californians ordered after the first 30 minutes. 10 of the 16 have been backordered.

335 of us ordered a 16gb.

140 of us ordered in the first 30 minutes. Only 22 of those 140 have been backordered.

195 of us ordered after the first 30 minutes. 147 of those 195 have been backordered.

It looks like if you got in the first 30 mintues, your chances are good.
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
I ordered mine the same time as you. I'm not really upset, but seeing as how I'm going out of town tomorrow it sure would be nice to know something before I left.

[Nexus 4 General] emuneee:
I want to reiterate what people have been saying (and adding to the confusion). I spoke to the Google Play Support team and he said the back order message was sent out because of the high possibility of your order being delayed. He said there is a chance you may get your device within the 3-5 day delivery day window. If not, it could take up to three weeks to get it.

Just my 2 cents, I think a lot of people will see it before the 3 week time period ends. I also expect some people who have gotten backorder emails to get tracking numbers tomorrow as well.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
probably pretty gamey, why do you ask?
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
I just want to know what's going on... Are we backordered? Have our orders shipped? I'm going crazy over here.
[Nexus 4 General] jjcore:
Sampling error!! :p
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Wrong.. in both Google Wallet and on the Play Store.. it said canceled. I had long re-verified this at 925PST. How could he not know 12 hours later when I could even see it? Check my attachment.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
I would agree with that, but I ordered at 11:36:05EST and have heard nothing. A couple minutes could make a huuge difference though (thus the graph)
[Nexus 4 General] acegolfer:
Has anyone canceled the duplicate order and still received the backorder email?

I canceled the 2nd order but haven't gotten tracking or backorder email yet for the 1st order.
[Nexus 4 General] haydonxda:
There are ways for Google to fix it without fixing their own systems to handle this... So we'll see what they do for the next blockbuster!
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
because I ordered an 8 gig initially and that one actually is shipped. Google didn't cancel it when I asked and I guess it's kind of a good thing now.
[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
Or Canada
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
You know what? It think that those of us who've gotten no emails are the chosen ones; Google had something extra planned for us so that's why they can't send us emails or we'd spoil the surprise. I think we're getting Nexus 5s people.

Just got off the phone with CSR and he said my order is going through right now, and i should be receiving a tracking number when its complete. Didnt say anything about backorder for my order so thats good. Hope it ships soon and i get it by tomorrow -.-!
[Nexus 4 General] mtbgo7:
I didn't get any email (shipping or backordered). I called and figured out mine is backordered. I'm sad.
[Nexus 4 General] KonstantinKeller:
Then explain how he/she could have known what you ordered in the first place.
[Nexus 4 General] chrysamere:
i'm trying so hard not to be that guy that calls. as a 'limbo' buyer, that's pretty damn hard.
[Nexus 4 General] raycpe:
For those who have received the backorder email.......Has your status changed on your item in the Play Store or in Wallet?
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
At least 100 people have been told "their order is going through" at the time of the call. I think the CSRs are just trying to get people off the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] aeson:
no both are still the same
[Nexus 4 General] clay_cauley:
This just angers me. I ordered at 8:44PST and haven't heard jack crap one way or another. I just want to know. Cmon Google

[Nexus 4 General] DefunctiO:
Any word one how man devices will be available to ship? thank you
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Do you mean how many Google has or how many you personally can buy? I don't believe it is known how many they have ready if that's what you're asking. There will be enough to go around, don't you worry :fingers-crossed:

I should probably sell my GNex before the value tanks any lower but I have no other phone to replace it. Hopefully I can get a decent price out of since it's the NTT Docomo version, which still works on att medianet.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I sold mine last week for that same reason. Bought a SG3 cheap on craigslist to hold me over until Thursday/Friday when my new baby (N4) arrives.
[Nexus 4 General] lionheart7282:
huh that's funny last time when i wanted to order the nexus 7 shipping and tax was not free and still isn't, i am from DC and they still charge tax, or am i missing something?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Yeah that was definitely not the case when I ordered my Gnex in June/July. It was 10.50 shipping and 5% tax. They can't just get rid of tax and I doubt they are doing free shipping. I guess we will find out Tuesday though!
[Nexus 4 General] kindiboy:
it's google...
[Nexus 4 General] Plexicle:
Not sure what's "funny," but no you're not missing anything. I was just mistaken, which is why I said "I think."

still it would be nice if they didn't charge tax, i know in some states they can not avoid it, and give choice about free shipping, still it isn't too bad still cheap, i have estimated the total for my state and is gonna be $378.77 :) .
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Mine is looking like $324.45 after tax + shipping for the 8GB. Not too shabby for a brand new quad-core phone imo. :eek: It would be nice if they did do an option for free shipping and just make it slower.
[Nexus 4 General] drspine:
i just called customer service and they told me that I should be receiving my tracking number soon. I just got the

Chicago. Ordered a few minutes before 11am local time. I didn't get any shipping confirmation or BO until now.

Scheduled Delivery Date: Friday, 11/16/2012

!!!!

I also ordered 2 and calncelled one of them 16 GB
[Nexus 4 General] Chief_rawka:
I just got off the phone with Google. They told me everyone is going to get the back order email. Because of people over ordering on accident because of the website messing up. they are going through every order to make sure that people didn't order too many, and that it doesn't matter what order you ordered device in there just randomly going through them.
[Nexus 4 General] ninjames:

[Nexus 4 General] unkn0wnz:
Did u get the BO email before??
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
According to one version: if you didn't receive the BO email then your order is on its way.
[Nexus 4 General] jblack41510:
Nope. Same status
[Nexus 4 General] bigmase521:
Nope. Still "Pending" in Wallet and "Shipping Estimate: 15th" in Play Store. I'm trying to stay positive but not holding out hope. Gonna take my frustrations out via Halo 4. :cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] astromanic:
for those that got shipment information in the US, did anything in wallet or the play store change at all? also did the cc go from pending to charged?
[Nexus 4 General] Euler MD:
I, one who received the Backorder email, believe that we may see a Nexus 4 head our way before the 3 week period.
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
What makes you think that's BS? That actually sounds believable. The email might be intended to save their asses, but the part about people still getting theirs shipped regardless of the email could most certainly be true. We've already seen it in this thread and other threads today.

Ive called multiple times telling them ive had no status updates... best ive gotten is that everything looks good or me and all is in order for my shipment. I was told i should recieve a shipping notiication later today or tomorrow morning

Androidcentral.com is about to have its live podcast in an hour.

At least if we can get some bloggers to write about this epic fail then those on limbo and backorder might be better off.
[Nexus 4 General] ManOnTheMoon:
So I just got confirmation from ups stating that I will receive it by the end of the day tomorrow. What I find funny is it says originally schedule for delivery on Monday but early delivery for Friday by the end of the day. If Google set something up with ups to ensure we get it early I seriously applaud them. Screen shot attached

DOn't know if this will help anyone but

By my counts (from reddit survey) for back orders goes as

16gb = 250

8gb = 43

Multi 8gb = 3

Multi 16gb = 34
[Nexus 4 General] chrisjcks:
OK guys,

Phoned em again.

The order that I was told was shipped is the order that's unknown to me, the one that doesn't even show on my account. (I've no idea what this even is)

But when phoning them, they also don't see this order.

They said its waiting for pickup then 10mins later, I'm told its not and its on back order..--

Enter my rant - 30mins, and ive never given such abuse over the phone before - how can someone who ordered less than 20mins after the page went live be on back order? - how can countless people who ordered after me recieve theirs? (When I'm constantly told its on a first come, first served basis)

Basically, I'm told several 'stories' from many different sources, including tracking numbers and orders from order numbers that ain't even on my account.

I'm then lied to about a first come first served BS, let's just say I've made absolutely sure that my account has been escalated for investigation.

WORST ORDER EVER! (I mean - ever!)

good job I didn't sell my phone to fund this, absolutely disgusting service.

Free shipping for an up to 3 week wait on a quick order that was in stock is not compensation for me.

Apologies for joining the rant crowd guys, but it has to be said.

I hope you all have better luck than me with them, but that's the last straw for me - won't be using the PS for devices again.
[Nexus 4 General] kcbboy:
1700 mhz is the frequency tmobile uses for 3g/4g. The droid dna only supports ATT which operates on 1900 mhz for 3g/4g. Unless you live in an area that tmobile has refarmed to 1900 mhz you're only going to be getting edge.

[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
I'm not saying he can't see my order.. what I am saying is I highly doubt he couldn't see my order was canceled. Either he just glanced at my order due to the high volume of calls or the system they are using is terrible. How is it possible I see a more up to date situation of my order than he does, and he works there? That makes zero sense. I mean I canceled 12 hours prior to his e-mail, and had 4 different forms of verification immediately after canceling.
