I guess this Jonathan is the most reliable source for Google play

Got a conf email half an hour ago.
[Nexus 4 General] phantomevo77:
I still got the dreaded UPS showing "Ordering Processing".. Called Play Support and they told me I should have my device tomorrow wether or not my tracking number ever updates with information. I'm not holding my breath, but here is what the email says:

Thats great and all, but I'm leaving town tomorrow and wont see my phone for a week...
[Nexus 4 General] zizo79:
Just for verification purposes, did anyone with a BO email get their shipping info?
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Don't worry I'll take good care for it for you.

I will care for it as if it's my own.
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
I don't understand? The last half hour of the hour they were placed? Like people who ordered later in the day or people who recently got B.O. emails?
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
Can we please stop replying to that old fake CSR post. Why are so many people dredging that up it was so far buried.
[Nexus 4 General] enviii:
Your 2 post and acc creation date of Nov 2012 are very comforting.

Finally

Maybe there is hope after all i ordered a single 16gb Nexus 4. Received shipping confirmation at 10:03 est time. had been in limbo ever since the 13th. Before this i had only received the order confirmation email and nothing else until today and my play store date never changed until just now and it says the 20th with shipped in the status. original order was at 11:44:48 est. My card has also been charged for $389.75 so the still charged shipping but as long as i get it by thanksgiving im thankful.

[Nexus 4 General] nagle3092:
Still Limbo 2, play store still says pre-order, wallet still says processing. Ordered on the 13th at 8:35 PST.
[Nexus 4 General] bizziet:
Based on all these recent shippings do the Limboers all get a promotion? Level 4 moves to level 3, 3 to 2 , etc???
[Nexus 4 General] gunslinger747:
Been lurking here for some time, reading everything the internet has to offer regarding the Nexus 4. Glad to know there are folks as excited about this as I am.

Here's my deal: stayed up late to order at midnight on the 13th then gave up in defeat. Woke up at 6 AM (EST) and checked incessantly until I had to go to work at 8 AM. Refreshed all morning until just before noon...when I added a 16 GB to my cart! Got infuriating errors again and again and again until"add to cart" disappeared. It reappeared around 2:30 PM when I immediately added it to my cart and made the purchase.

Received a confirmation email at 3:42 PM, and a disappointing backorder email at 3PM on the 15th. No word since.

What limbo level am I? Have I got any shot of getting this thing before Thanksgiving? As you'll see below, this will be quite an upgrade for me!

Thank you to this community for helping me root my Exhibit, stick it to the carriers (as much as can be done), and sharing in my nerdy anticipation.

[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
but the sending a picture of yourself as a baby to the chancellor of austria part made sense???
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
Yes, but I had two orders and one has not shipped yet but I was told that it still would be shipping and I am fine..... ?? Maybe the BO e-mail was for my second order but I told Google that I got the BO e-mail with 2 orders and they still show that both orders are due to ship....
[Nexus 4 General] devcurious:
Because it's not the old one, he posted a new one.

Look at the timestamp...
[Nexus 4 General] keda:
Dang, guess I'm not the lucky one. Did you got back order email?
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS.

It's hard to eat while constantly pressing f5 to refresh the page. Ew sticky fingers. **** sticky keyboard.

It's hard to watch TV while constantly peaking at this thread.

It's even harder to watch something on my computer while constantly alt tabbing.
[Nexus 4 General] Good Guy Mark:
Was on hold for 40 minutes and finally got to speak with a rep

People who received a BO email will not be getting their phones for sure today.

No concrete date of next batch of phones.

No free bumpers just refunded shipping.

You will either get your phone the next day or two days after you receive the shipping email.

And yes they are shipping them in order now.

As always stuck in limbo 3 T_T
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
Bypass the trend filter! #Whereismydamnnexus4 ﻿
[Nexus 4 General] qreffie:
I was limbo level 2. I only received a confirmation email. My date changed from the 13th to the 16th on either Thursday or Friday (didn't notice until Friday). My shipping email went out at 5:37 PST. My order was placed at 8:36:08. It appears I'm now in UPS limbo though since they have no info on the tracking number provided (beats the limbo that I was in earlier though).

They also charged me for shipping. I may finally have a reason to call the Play Store now to try to get it refunded.
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Can you guys please go back to twitter.

I'm tired of seeing such short posts.

Such as mine.
[Nexus 4 General] the_r2d2:
Level 3. Welcome to party.
[Nexus 4 General] @rbiter:
Limbo Level 1: Made purchase and it shows up in your Play account and Wallet (status irrelevant) but no confirmation, back order, or shipping emails from Google. These people are known as the Untouchables.

Limbo Level 2: Made purchase and it shows up in your Play account and Wallet (status irrelevant) and received a confirmation email, but no back order, or shipping emails from Google. These people are known as the Forgotten.

Limbo Level 3: Made purchase and it shows up in your Play account and Wallet (status irrelevant) and received a confirmation and back order email, but no shipping emails from Google. These people are known as the Betrayed.

Limbo Level 4: Made purchase and it shows up in your Play account and Wallet (status irrelevant) and received a confirmation email and shipping emails from Google. These people are known as the Impatient.

Those who have their phones in-hand today are simply the Hated.
[Nexus 4 General] samarth1:
Still waiting :( Ordered on the 13th at 8:48:56am PST, got my confirmation email, and my play store order date got updated to the 17th, and the 19th this morning. Shipping estimate still says November 15. Please let me get my email tonight. Please!! Please!!!
[Nexus 4 General] jbatu:

It is also hard to study for your Programming Languages test tomorrow while checking this thread over and over again.
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
Wow...I totally missed that part...I feel ridiculous :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] jbatu:
your welcome
[Nexus 4 General] xMemphisx:
Nope. Ordered (2) 16GBs at 11:33:57 AM EST

Immediately got a confirmation email

Heard nothing

Saturday my date changed to the 17th

Early this morning it changed to the 19th

Got my shipping email around 10:04 PM EST

My Orders page says "Shipped"

Google Wallet page moved to "Complete" section

No charges back on my card yet (I'm assuming it's because the bank is closed)
[Nexus 4 General] gunslinger747:
Limbo level 3... the Betrayed.

Feels about right.
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Do the limbo dance.
[Nexus 4 General] mjkt613:
Has anyone from Canada heard anything?

I ordered at 11:33 am EST. Received an email right after. Haven't heard anything since. I'm located in the GTA. I could drive to Google's new office from here!
[Nexus 4 General] bmwracer0:
Just called. If you got the BO email, you will be waiting the 3 weeks. (Unless you already got a tracking number)
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
You sure it's sticky cause' of pressing F5 and not something else? lolol.
[Nexus 4 General] mayurolla:
I'm tired of this ****. Level 2 here and was told by two different CSR's that I will get my phones tomorrow. Still have no tracking, going to bed, I better see one in the morning otherwise I'm going to flip.
[Nexus 4 General] gadgetluva:
I can't believe that Google hasn't offered any official word on this mess.
[Nexus 4 General] UCFJake:
So Jonathan is real? Man, I was hoping there was leeway with the LL3 BO email. I def got the email on the 15th.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
Totally forgot limbo iv. So n oh w we are the impatient. :)
[Nexus 4 General] damayor521:
Holy f* ... I'm considered an untouchable? *ouchies.
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
Look what I got today :]
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Um... you should hide the WHOLE address. It really isn't that hard to look up your full name and the city you live in to look up your street address.
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Exam before thanksgiving :/

Your professor is such a ****.
[Nexus 4 General] Alien987:
This...
[Nexus 4 General] HCdroid:
Shipped!!!
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
yea I can make it there if I start driving now.
[Nexus 4 General] tylerwatt12:
FOR ALL LEVEL 3ERS:

On the day you receive shipping info, you will see your order date change from the 13th to the current date, that means Google placed a new order for you internally with free shipping using their stock.

That is all..
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
what in the heck makes a keyboard sticky??? tape maybe?:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] joquarky:
Level 3. Welcome to the group. Coffee and punch are on the table by the door.
[Nexus 4 General] f1seb:
If that email has any credibility to it, why will it take 3-4 weeks for the new batch of phones to get here? Are they being made on the moon? Are they being smelted in by medieval blacksmiths? I think cars are being made at a much faster rate....
[Nexus 4 General] :
They may be shipping but in order?!
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
It's ok I'm not worried but thanks for the look out. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] nagle3092:
I'll race you there
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Wooooosh
[Nexus 4 General] K Rich:
My birthday is Dec 1st, and if I don't have a phone in hand by then someone at Google is getting it.
[Nexus 4 General] anarcie:
*punch will be shipped 3-5 days
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
how do i get whoosh off my keyboard if it spills on there somehow????:confused::cyclops::crying:
[Nexus 4 General] fitzman49:
So with that logic I should get something tonight then...
[Nexus 4 General] samarth1:
Fellow Sagittarius here, December 2nd. I'm still waiting on this shipping email! Limbo 2.
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
I really, really, really hope this is true. My date changed to the 19th this morning.

However, I can't hep but be skeptical. Where did you come about this information?
[Nexus 4 General] kcm117:
What we know 11:01PM EST

Alright here's what we know based off the info in this thread for the last 2 hours.

LL3's aka those who recieved the backorder e-mail will not be getting any shipping information tonight, or receiving it tomorrow/Wednesday.

LL2's aka those who did not get a backorder e-mail received shipping confirmations tonight, there are still some LL2's awaiting shipping confirmation however.

Orders are supposedly being shipping/processed in the order of which they were placed.

Play Store CSR's have said that if you received the back order e-mail, the best they can say is 3-4 weeks. They have no ETA on their next stock but are working to decrease that 3-4 week time frame as much as they can.

If you are a LL3 (Like me), you won't get a shipping confirmation tonight, so you can go to bed.
[Nexus 4 General] jbatu:
i got the bo email but my dates also changed from 13 to 17 to 19 what does that mean, and the csrs told me i looked good to go and not BOed
[Nexus 4 General] code65536:
*cries*
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
i'm in the same boat as you
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Yea I need to know this as well.

Cuz I might WHOOOOOSH when I see my confirmation email.

Might get all over my keyboard. Might splash my monitor. Might go inside my coffee cup. Might go inside the empty beer bottles lying around.

Might hit some pens. Might hit my notepads.

I dunno.

When you gotta whoosh, you just can't stop til you pop.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Hmmm Kalama River... that's near Frys isn't it? lol.

[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
If you see strange men lurking around the UPS store ... well.
[Nexus 4 General] xMemphisx:
How can you tell that it is one day shipping?
[Nexus 4 General] miasma:
I got the same thing after being on hold 45 min. 3 weeks started on the date the BO email was sent out though.
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
Did yours ship yet Foxy??
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
It shows as a residence for me.
[Nexus 4 General] Qbancelli:
I got the BO email and today my order day changed fron the 13 to the 17. So what does that mean then?
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Don't be such a creeper. That's my job.

[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
Alright, that somewhat lines up with a rep I talked to. She said it meant they were reauthorizing/attempting to charge your account or something along those lines. Still, she told me if I got the B.O. email I was backordered, but didn't seem to have much information. She was nice and I didn't feel like being an asshole so we ended the call.

Did the rep say if we would be receiving the phones tomorrow? 48 hours would bleed over and mean we don't I'm assuming?
[Nexus 4 General] Trashville:
this makes it much more bearable actually, thank you:good:
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Why are you still here?

You are no longer welcome.

:good::good::good::laugh::victory::angel:
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Um... there's one in Fountain Valley. I go to that one A LOT! In fact, I just went there last weekend.
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
Anyone else ship?
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
So is everyone getting their shipping email?!?!

I ALMOST feel sad now that we are out of this Limbo.

**** is wrong with me?!?! I should be happy! And I am :)
[Nexus 4 General] nagle3092:
Did you just get the tracking number?
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Pft. :( I can chit chat all I want! XD
[Nexus 4 General] phif77:
Mine's 4 dec.. Limbo 3 even though I ordered at 8:35 pst.

Still hoping for a miracle..
[Nexus 4 General] shojus:
Good stuff!! I have just seen you here for awhile so I was curious....
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
As I said 100 pages back.

It's Stockholm syndrome developed from being kept hostage for so long.
[Nexus 4 General] Zaphodb2002:
Hey guys, just got home from work, and I got my shipping email. 16GB, ordered at 8:36AM PST, was Limbo Level 2. Thanks so much for the good times here, keep hanging in there, see you all on the other side!:victory:
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
Or resin art glasses and signs at 10925 kalama river ave ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Chochiwpg:
I think they are working on all the American orders first because my order is still in limbo. I live in Canada.
[Nexus 4 General] ibishuerta:
There is one in Fountain valley
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
that would be 2am central
[Nexus 4 General] xSunny:
Well since it actually released in aussie after there 12am im hoping for the same in nyc haha
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Lalala it's still there for me ~

[Nexus 4 General] wngmv:
The yellow banner is showing up randomly and disappearing randomly for me. Very mysterious.
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
No, pacific time would be midnight, mountain time 1am, central time 2am, eastern time 3am
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
it's 2am for CST.

1am for MST.
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
Yellow banner only shows up for 16GB

It doesnt show up for 8GB

just found that out. check for yourselves.
[Nexus 4 General] brom25:
3 am banners gone, France
[Nexus 4 General] munchy_cool:
same here ..google teasin us
[Nexus 4 General] ET3RNA4:
Nope, It's going to be 12:00 PST in 3 hours, so it'll be at 11:00 for us, right now it's 8:12.
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
Google has a sense of humor...They are messing with us.
[Nexus 4 General] Guster730:
Banners are gone from both for me, New Jersey.
[Nexus 4 General] paper_kiwi:
Where's the bumper case?
[Nexus 4 General] thereisthat:
12:00am PST would be 2:00am central and 3:00am eastern.

I still have the banner in Champaign, IL.
[Nexus 4 General] mattlgroff:
Not for California on my end...
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:

[Nexus 4 General] maverpix:
Has the 16GB version really sold out in Australia?

This is worrying,surely they knew the demand would be huge for this phone. It's 2.10 am here in England and now I don't know if I should stay up and pull a sickie from work tomorrow to try and ensure getting one before they sell out here.

Out of interest,if the 16GB models sell out worldwide,would anyone order the 8GB instead of waiting for the 16GB to come back into stock?
[Nexus 4 General] ET3RNA4:
Nope, no banner for me on 16gb version.
[Nexus 4 General] fitzman49:
Classic signs of nexus 4 syndrome :D
[Nexus 4 General] shadvich:
I hope it comes in tomorrow. I'll be traveling on wednesday
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Source?
[Nexus 4 General] krypto16:
I call BS that they A=are shipping in order. I have seen plenty of people get shipping confirmation who ordered after me. Mine is 11:36 AM EST, limbo 2 and still waiting on shipping confirmation.
[Nexus 4 General] harsubs:
Not me. Finally caved and called customer support. All she could tell me was they were working very hard to get the orders fulfilled. Wouldn't commit to a date (or even a week) :(
[Nexus 4 General] lookitzjohnny:
One CSR said cause i ordered 2 nexus 4 i was on back order, called back to another rep, she said i will get tracking number soon, and it should be shipped tomorrow. i dont know who to believe anymore!

Limbo 2

ordered 8:50:23 AM PST

date 13th > 17th > 19th
[Nexus 4 General] twistkick:
Full three or up to three?
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
OMGWTF CYBERSTALKERS :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Yeah! I'm so excited for tomorrow ~~~ Finally!
[Nexus 4 General] d4ft:
I ordered at 8.36 PST and am a fellow Limbo3ian. I'm starting to feel that I deserve to be compensated in more ways other than free shipping. Period.
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Does this apply to other limbos? and what about the ppl who have had their order date shifted from 13-17-19?
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
Ok, check this out. I called... and basically got confirmation that if I hadn't been honest when he asked about my BO and said "no" instead of saying "yes" to the BO email... that they have some kind of escalation ability. FML. So yeah... If you are in Limbo 3 like me, and you want your device, call, tell them you didn't receive a BO email and perhaps that bumps you up. That's all I know.
[Nexus 4 General] silver91342:
same here
[Nexus 4 General] nullpuppy:
Came in around 5:33PST.
[Nexus 4 General] nagle3092:
Same, ordered at 8:35 pst, still nothing. Limbo 2
[Nexus 4 General] NickFe:
I have seen the date change twice (17th first, 19th second). No device on the horizon. That is NOT all.
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
Are you asking him to take you out to lunch and show you his new phone? :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
CSR told me I was on back order TODAY and then said I MIGHT get shipped.

Don't even listen to those guys, just wait on that email, brother!
[Nexus 4 General] mjkt613:
So no one has a shipping notice in Canada yet?
[Nexus 4 General] d4ft:
No chance. I did that and the rep told me "Good news, your order is getting ready to be shipped".
[Nexus 4 General] phif77:
Agreed!! Mine is 8:35 pst and limbo 3!!

Why?!? Google, WHY!!!!?!!?!!
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Lol pft no.

I would be getting mine tomorrow anyway. ;3
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
How accurate can that "If you got a BO email, you're waiting 3 weeks" thing be when some people who got that email late last week got theirs shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Then we're going to go out to a back alley.

The conversation will go something like this:

"Is that a gun or are you just happy to see me?"

"That's a gun"
[Nexus 4 General] Mr.Fahrenheit:
Yours shipped today as well?
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
Go Texans!
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
To those that got a shipping notification from the play store TODAY.. have any of you gotten a UPS my choice alert delivery for tomorrow yet? I got shipping e-mail today and according to the tracking number it's for next day delivery.. haven't received a UPS alert yet, which I normally get around 11PM EST.
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
She's the one with the gun.
[Nexus 4 General] agtitan:
I haven't gotten any notification my choice UPS yet
[Nexus 4 General] Lockeskidney:

[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
That's ducked up... with a capital D... Nice guys (not bothering CSR) finish last' :(
[Nexus 4 General] barondebxl:
Ups is f****d up, my phone was out for delivery this morning and the tracking didn't show any of that. But at least it got here.
[Nexus 4 General] the1onewolf:
Throw in a pair of handcuffs, yea sure I'm down!

... Well that wouldn't make sense because then you wouldn't be asking if that buldge was a gun.
[Nexus 4 General] rockr4Christ:
got my shipping email today :) Limbo level 4 now.
[Nexus 4 General] Zurginator:
I would hope not.... I ordered at 11:20 EST, and I'm STILL on the original order date. :(
[Nexus 4 General] bmwracer0:
That's what they told me. You're more than welcome to spend 45 minutes on hold
[Nexus 4 General] ryanbmw51:
My Wife just got iPhone 5. Damn thing is nice. Headphones are exceptional. As are many other things about it. But i know this nexus 4 is what I need in my hand. Nothing but good days ahead. Limbo level 3
[Nexus 4 General] vitsdroid:
I ordered 8:35:06pst nothing here. 2x16s
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Yes it did. :)
[Nexus 4 General] menting:
you think the new headphones that come with iphone 5 are exceptional?

you must be kidding right?
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
The point is... there have been so many lies told by the Customer Service team at Google. I'm not saying everything has been a lie, but a lot of bs has been spewed out by them. It really just doesn't compute at all.
[Nexus 4 General] Ravynmagi:
This is getting beyond stupid... Ordered at 8:35am... limbo level 1. Still nothing. :(
[Nexus 4 General] emuneee:
Ordered 1 16GB Nexus 4 at 12:57PM EST on Nov 13. Got shipping confirmation & backorder email. No change in anything since then (pending in wallet, 13th / 15th in Google Play, CC authorization is lifted). No shipping confirmation tonight...then again, don't expect anything until December. :cowboy:
