In my mind, the 3-5 day orders were because they had a limited stock straight away to send last week.

Unfortunately the shipping system messed up and sent those phones to random later orders.

So I'm afraid I suspect there will be no shipments early this week and we'll all now have to wait until either late next week, or early the week after. My money is on late next week.

No sorry how silly of me :p

Next well be what Rom and kernel to install ( after a day or so to check phone for faults )

And how to find a working wireless charger, cases etc. in the UK.
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
My mate has just had one - but the device (and bumper) in question were already received - and they have only just charged him.

[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Is this the first shipping email you've received?
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Of course !

C'mon China, get us those cheap bumper cases made soon !
[Nexus 4 General] Lawliet:
In any case, what I've found so far:

- Screen Protector: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/martin-fields-screen-protector-for-google-lg-nexus-4-p37193.htm

- Case: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Diztronic...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3cccffcd5f

Might get them.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
You got the shipping email sunday morning?

However i want that bumper case from google. It's very beautiful...
[Nexus 4 General] uberNoobZA:
Incorrect. It depends on the bank. Mine remained for a week. Some banks then take up to another 5 days to actually make the funds available to you again.
[Nexus 4 General] jiberjaber:
A suitable car mount for it, something that is maybe vent mounted and fits in a VW passat ? :good:
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Just noticed that the hold on my bank funds has been released. Sigh.. Exactly what happened when I got backordered originally. If history repeats itself, I'll...
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Yeah besides the support ones. It only has the tracking number of the phone, the bumper is listed as N/A as I have it already. It was the one Google Play told me last week and I called TNT and they said the package was never scanned at any point. Tracking on the TNT site remains on "contact us"
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Just a thought that crossed my mind regarding all those early orders still waiting while the guys who ordered later seem to be having more luck.

Perhaps it had something to do with the system being overloaded during those early anxious moments when the phones went back on sale, naturally people didn't want to lose out AGAIN so everyone was smashing the F5/Refresh keys and the system took longer to process the info.

Then the guys who ordered later found that it was relatively simple to place the order - no constant F5/reloading = system processed the later orders straight to the top of the pile even though the time stamp said otherwise ?

Just a thought.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
So it was google's fault after all! I assume u didn't get a refund?

you should defo call TNT if they tell you to. Good luck!
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Perhaps her nexus hadn't turned up.
[Nexus 4 General] scho047:
google's customer service really does lack professionalism for sure..... cant even get through to their help centre to ask about the order... as there is this annoying voice keep repeating same thing over and over again.... pathetic....

dont know what is happening to my nexus......

anyone got any updates?
[Nexus 4 General] curtisf08:
I read that LG was offering free 50gb Box.net storage for all LG phones and this offer is about to ends this month. It seems nexus 4 would qualify but that's whats got me thinking, 50gb cloud storage for every new nexus 4 owner would end up costing Box.net or LG money.

I'm not saying this is the reason for delay but a delay might save a few penny's for one of these companys

http://www.androidcentral.com/lg-nexus-4-qualifies-50gb-free-boxnet-cloud-storage
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Anyone can edit their build.prop and qualify for that offer anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] curtisf08:
I was thinking about that but haven't tried yet. I'm one of those really unlucky chaps who sold his Gs2 on eBay to upgrade on Nov 11th and have been rocking a 3 branded zte with a 1 inch screen ever since.
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
I did last week they said either Google never supplied it or it had gone missing. Rang again today they said they won't know anything until tomorrow as TNT Express doesn't work on Sundays.
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Lol. Unlucky, or...
[Nexus 4 General] curtisf08:
Loool might of been abit eager thinking about it but i just thought it would be harder to sell a 1 year old gs2 for £220 once the nexus 4 had been released.

The funny thing is I'm currently using my sons nexus 7 xmas present to get my android fix. (His mum thinks im just loading games n stuff)
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Well iv gone through this weekend so far slowly waiting for monday to start. Idk if iv ever said that!! Lol :P but anyway lets hope we get some big dispatches tommorrow! Bring on monday!! :D
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:

So could I do this on my N7 and get 50Gb of cloud storage?
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
Everyone desperate to get one nexus 4 as I was until I decided to going down O2 way.

But I must after a second replacement I have to say, be ready to compromise.

It rattles, gets hot, buzzes and most likely if you use the phone for browsing and Facebook the battery is not good.

On top of that has bugs or is just mine, I am in Switzerland ATM and my camera decided to stop working more then once, turning it on and off won't work and on top of that just noticed that the screen wasn't turning off :confused:

I don't believe that is faulty as this is the second ,it is just the way they were build.

To finish does anyone knows how long do I have to cancel the O2 contract.
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Yep. You need to be rooted though.
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
If you arent a technical user, find anyone with any LG or Sony phone and just log in and out of your Box on their phone.

You can even do it on display phones in shops as long as you can get on the internet.

[Nexus 4 General] manook:
I have had 2 nexus 4's, from CPW, which I returned because of the buzzing in the ear piece and yellow spots (glue drying) on the screen. Other than that the build quality was very good in my opinion (and ive owned alot of android devices including Galaxy S3 & One X). No rattle, camera worked fine (albeit nowhere near as good as the S3) and they never turned themselves off. I ran games whilst it was charging and only ever got warm and not hot. Seems to be alot of varying issues per owner and its pot luck with the first batch.

I do believe that the stores still have the first batch due to the higher price so im holding out for the second / third batches where hopefully the buzzing will be cured.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Has anyone else noticed that google have released their hold on your bank funds, or is it just me? I know they have a time limit for it but my first ordering experience has left me paranoid
[Nexus 4 General] manook:
I don't think it Google, I think you bank has the limit. I'm with Barclay's and the hold is still there and I ordered on 4th
[Nexus 4 General] thomss79:
I think funds are only allowed to be allocated to somebody for a maximum of 5 days before they get released back to them.
[Nexus 4 General] coukalamin:
Can anyone point me out on a tutorial to get 50gb free drop box storage. Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] knowlesy:
When I called on friday I mentioned that I hadnt had my funds reserved the girl who was half asleep assuming shes on PST time and in san fran (accent etc + google hiring recently for call centres round there) she informed me that not to worry as my bank has confirmed there is money there :S? not sure if its the usual bs but she just sounded like she wanted to get me off the phone .....
[Nexus 4 General] redrum217uk:
Everyone single rep I've spoken to sounds like they have been smoking something lol must just be very relaxing working for Google!

Anyway I lost my Galaxy nexus last night! So i'm phoneless which makes me want to phone even more :(

The funds for me are still held against my credit card.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
could you tell me how to do it please,im rooted
[Nexus 4 General] SreePillai:
edit your build.prop (you can use this tool https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.nathan.jf.build.prop.editor&hl=en)

ro.product.model=VS910 4G

ro.product.manufacturer=LGE

reboot after changing and then sign into box app then change back reboot again.

It might be wise to make a nandroid.
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
Anyone received theirs already ?

Those with 1-2 weeks of shipping.

My friend received he's nexus already. he was on 3-4 weeks.

fml. google screwing up again ?
[Nexus 4 General] arj154:
what did people get as there free movie preloaded on there nexus 4's in the uk? did we get transformers dark of the moon? My nexus 7 came with ice age for some reason so im guessing they will load the nexus 4 with something.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
cheers mate,will give it a go later
[Nexus 4 General] Lewey22B:
Just checked there myself and the funds have been released, now I'm paranoid that the order is going to get forgotten about as I've only had a confirmation e-mail saying "You've placed an order".

Anyone have the link to the excel sheet so I can put my name on it, kinda lost it in the 600 odd pages we're at so far...
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
link to survey entry form

link to spreadsheet
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
I doubt it. I found out about the on-sale-again thing late, got in an order with no problems (no refreshing) at around 5:40pm with a 4-5 week lead time. No change since then, my order is still pending.
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
haha 1 second = 1 week in google terms :rolleyes:

Are you a 1-2 week-er?
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
Wait... The Nexus 4 comes preloaded with free stuff? If some one could tell me what it is, it would be great as I'd like to save it before flashing a new ROM. :p
[Nexus 4 General] Confused_Cheese:
By 1-2 weeker do you mean in the confirmation email?
[Nexus 4 General] Makaijin:
I don't think the Nexus 4 comes preloaded with anything. It was the Nexus 7 that came preloaded with Transformers and £15 play store credit. Even for the Nexus 7 that was a limited time offer on release which has since expired.

The free content and free credit is tied to your Google account, you get your freebies when you first register with said device. After that you are free to flash your custom firmware of choice etc.
[Nexus 4 General] scho047:
any updates on shipping emails guys?
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
nope. hopefully this time tomorrow we'll see a deluge of posts by happy bunnies on the thread
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
It's a Sunday today so I'm 95% sure that none have been sent out today. Well, I'm just guessing...

But hopefully, us 1-2 weekers and 3-5 dayers will get their shipping email on Monday. :p

Went to O2 today to see the phone. Its so light! And fast! Damn, I want it, cant wait 1-2 weeks :(

To the guys who are concerned about their pending transactions dropping off their bank accounts, don't. Standard fare. Currently working in a bank and having dealt with the likes of Wonga, and their ilk, I can assure you that once Google have your account details then they can and will take the money whenever the hell they want.

[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
When I got mine I did look and we did get about 6 books including Alice in Wonderland and the Three Musketeers among others and also a few songs which I can't remember but nothing new or exciting. We definitely got no films like they did which sucks.

Does anyone know if the CSRs are actually employed by Google, or is it just some generic call centre that handles calls for multiple companies?

for everyones sake.... and joy... lets all hope something does happen tonight with Google and their shipment emails!!

because this waiting game is just killing me!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
I'm not sure about that. But I think we should be happy that at least Google doesn't user Indian call centers for their calls. Not that I have anything against Indian people, but Indian call center agents are quite hard to speak to and I often have problems understanding.

---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Just like Amazon, HMV, Play et al taking preorders for books, DVDs and games not yet released? They're taking orders here, giving a ship date in future (subsequent to shipments arriving from China one might surmise - shipments that should be coming according to a defined timetable)

The fact that they appear to be cocking up the order in which the shipping happens in some circumstances is the unforgivable part IMO (especially as it seems to be a rerun of the N7 and N4 original release débâcle)
[Nexus 4 General] mrgold2505:
But why the 8gb is OUT OF STOCK? I assume bouth should be out of stock
[Nexus 4 General] hunnymonster:
Not if there is no defined next shipment of 8GB... They're probably making as many 16GB devices as they can since the bill of materials is only a dollar or two more but the selling price £40 higher (margin margin margin)
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:

[Nexus 4 General] SreePillai:
I've spoken to CSRs within the UK with heavy regional accents that i sometimes find difficult to understand..IMO call center emps shld be trained to be accent neutral.

[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
To all those receiving replies saying "Your order should be shipped by the xth of December" etc, I suspect they are just taking your order timescale (1-2 weeks etc) and running their fingers that amount along a calendar from your order date.
[Nexus 4 General] gedas5:
@ jvmaniac

same here no replies to several emails. I am on 3-5 days as well. As far as I remember I haven't seen anyone who has received the email from Google who are on 3-5 days. They either received the phones or haven't received anything
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
Sent 3 or 4 emails to them and no reply (3-5 days). Notice a pattern?
[Nexus 4 General] teekaytk:
Just a quick observation. I have been reading these forums and many others on other android forums. The trend seems to be the same. A lot of people waiting for their device to be shipped. A lot of people calling google and sending them e-mails without getting any where.

When I bought the device it said 5-6 weeks. Why not just wait till then before complaining. If some one gets it before you, so what, lucky them.
[Nexus 4 General] perrywhite:
Agreed but there does seem to be a consistent lack of response for those of us that got the 3-5 day emails. Not sure what it means - whether it's good news, whether Google are ignoring us or whether (as someone said earlier in the thread) the 3-5 day emails were an anomaly. It's strange as the time on my purchase seems to be after the time of some people who got 1-2 week emails although we all know that Google is not operating on a strictly linear timeline!
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
I just contacted to ask them if the 3-5 days stated was wrong as it said 1-2 weeks when I ordered. I honestly don't mind waiting 2 weeks, it's just a phone, but I don't like being mucked around with no customer support.
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
I would really hate to be working for Google now as a customer rep with all you guys emailing calling ...

I'm in the 5-6 week. Only thing I hope is that I get a good phone...if its a good phone I don't mind the wait.

Does anyone know if we are in the 2nd batch of phone production now?

I really hope they've resolved some of the issues...
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:
It seems that Google and the shipping company (TNT) have no timely communication between them - I've just received the dreaded shipping email for the order that I placed on 13th Nov:

And I've already received the phone on 29th Nov, but it is just now that Google realises this, checking the tracking info on TNT's website show pickup date as 28th and delivered date as 29th :) Oh Google, WTF?

So it won't surprise me if most of you guys just see the TNT courier turn up at your place way before Google sends you the shipping email :good:
