[Nexus 4 General] :
eughhhh,

Starting to get pissed off now. I have been patient and looking on the bright side but im starting to crack.

Tomorrow the phone would have been out for 3 weeks!!!!

I also have a feeling Google will have a random re-release time again and i will end up missing out... AGAIN!
[Nexus 4 General] :
So Google loves the USA and Canada more than us. I'm starting to wonder if I should love Apple more than them....
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
your loss then... How old are you?
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Exactly how I'm feeling mate :( But in the second batch for us and Canada its both been 12 midday so they will probably continue the pattern.
[Nexus 4 General] Tivens:
but USA and Canada are probably bigger markets than UK, so preparing stock for maybe will maybe take less time? Unless this will be Europe release which overall would probably be a similar market to the USA (not including countries where Gplay doesnt even exist) :/
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
I suspect Korea to the US is a shorter shipment than Korea to wherever in the EU is Google's central distribution hub.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
I hope google do a UK release and not group all of Europe together :/ We have more chance of getting one that way.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Also how have Google sent out messages to people telling then about the re-release in USA and Canada?

There has been no place to "notify me when available" form
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Yeah I was wondering the same thing :/
[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
Before the phone went on sale the first time, if you signed up for the "Notify me when available" email you will get this.
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Someone I know in Canada got one for himself after 5 mins of trying. Looks as if they might have sold out after less than 30 minutes.

Midday would do me nicely as I can be sat in work on chrome ready.

Although I'm tempted to say next week, Canada is quite a small population so logistically not big for Google ( especially after USA )

Would they dare do all of Europe together ? Best do one country at a time to try to stop play store collapsing. UK first please.....
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Yes this is what Im thinking, next week for us
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Fingers crossed guys!
[Nexus 4 General] :
But this means everybody who did manage to order in the first wave will get this email as well.
[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
Perhaps. But I can't think of how else they would have got our emails.
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
And I forgot to mention that the Canadian who managed to order after 5 minutes reports shipping in 1-2 weeks.

<Tries not to get too excited>
[Nexus 4 General] jtc42:
This news is so good, I'm sure something will go wrong. So far nothing about this launch has been smooth. If the stock lasts more than 5 minutes AND has 1-2 weeks shipping, I will be amazed.

Pessimistic? Yes. But with good reason.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Sorry if this has been posted b4,

Don't forget that some bank accounts come with FREE mobile phone insurance - mine is Barclays [it is part of the deal that comes with paying a fee for the account along with free Kaspersky Int Security - on PC/Laptop and mobile worth £40 and £20]
[Nexus 4 General] Vectoryzed:
Guys, I clicked on "Notify me" a few weeks ago on the UK Play Store.

Should I receive the email of availability about other Play Stores?

Or should I receive the email only when it will be available on the UK Play Store?
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Okay, let me ask...those who paid with an HSBC account what stage are you in now? PM me if you prefer.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Personally I can't fault 3, I've been with them for 3.5yrs now - where I live the indoor signal is the same as its outdoor - ALWAYS ON MAX bars ! Even when I've travelled I've had no problems, I also have a 3 dongle. Also where I live Orange is AWFUL crap signal - if you can actually get one, and slow speeds. O2 great signal but dreadfully slow on 3g.

Its each to their own, depends where you live but it doesn't mean that its the same for everyone else.
[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
100% concur with you. I get 19Mbps down and 3Mbps up sometimes! On average I get around 8-12.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Sounds like where I live, o2 and Vodafone are good signal but slow, ee is non existent, the however doesn't go through or thick walls, outside it was fine though, when I get around to it I want to test three, would love top go back to them and their faster speeds
[Nexus 4 General] Bigiain:
I'm with first Direct - run by HSBC - I got my phone on Saturday - would have been Friday if TNT hadn't screwed up delivery.

I ordered a 16GB and bumper on the same order - placed on 13th Nov at 08:30 - received backorder mail and confirmation it would ship last week mail. No email notification of shipping. Received both phone and bumper at the same time.

Order shows pending in Play Store - has done since about the 15th Nov. Date changed to 27th Nov last week, now shows 3rd Dec.

The transaction was authorised on my account on Monday last week through till at least Friday (didn't show as a transaction, but available balance was reduced) - just checked - the authorisation is now off again - so my full balance shows available. Nothing taken by Google yet - maybe they forgot me :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] :
Just the UK one mate.

I think I signed up twice, once when they first announced it, then once again during the shambles on the 13th when it kept changing between 'add to cart' and 'notify me'. Although I also put my email in for the HSPA N7 but didn't get notified for round 2 on that, so your best bet is to keep checking here!
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Omg this is great news!! So far so good in Canada, maybe Google have finally sorted there act out?!
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Exactly the same as me but without the phone. I tried to explain to Google that I knew "friends" who had the same circumstances as me but had their phones despite no shipping info and pending status. They insist my phone hasn't been shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] madwyn:
I guess all these phones are made in China, aren't they?

Now I just want to get this phone and stop checking this thread and google play!
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Here's an interesting take on the debacle

http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/news/2012/12/google_nexus_4_low_stock_will_destroy_all_high_hopes/
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Google are shipping you a replacement? When TNT lost mine on the first batch that got shipped they just auto refunded me and said thats all they could do if a parcel goes missing
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Sigh.. That's what I found out after speaking to a second rep. Still can't believe the first rep lied to me and reassured me that I'd be getting my replacement devices by the end of the week. I've told them to hold off cancelling my order while I speak to TNT about it. TNT's another pain in the arse. Right now I can't decide who's worse - TNT or Google. Do you know if your phone was stolen or just lost?
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Thats ****ty, and an annoying part is, it takes another 5 days before the money gets back into your account. Mmm the line I was given by TNT was as it was small it got lost. But I would defo say it got stolen as mine got scanned into the leeds depo and then it went missing. Plus they would have easily known what was inside the parcel due to the large shipment from google.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Ok guys when nexus 4's do come back in stock (hopefully it will be early next week?) If they come back in stock at 12miday wats the chance of me getting one at 1pm?

Cheers
[Nexus 4 General] chandlerweb:
Hmmm let me just consult my crystal ball ;)
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Leeds TNT

I collected my phone from TNT Leeds

The security at the depot looked tight at first - but all the parcels that did not get delivered by off the round the van was on were just in a big pile in the middle of an office floor - There were multiple ways in and out of the office and lots of desks (not many people at the time of night I went) but when I got my parcel I was stood next to the pile - no seperation between me and them.

When I left site - they never checked what I had on me.

There were at least 4 other phones on the floor next to mine.

Sorry yours got "lost"

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] redmamoth:
You'll get one, but I'd expect a 7-8week lead time.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
So how desperate are you for a N4 ? Would you be tempted if walking down the street, a TNT van pulled up to make a delivery left the van shutter up/unocked to try a spot of opportunistic thievery :laugh: ?

Or try your luck at a local depo ?
[Nexus 4 General] phunkycow:
That's probably how some parcels go missing, seems some people here already know the van routes! :p
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
There is one driving past my house now and again.... To the drawing board!

[Nexus 4 General] zukuvybz:
Any news on the bumpers coming back in stock?
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
The way things have panned out so far m8 - there hasn't been any news on owt from google - until the last mimute when they issue an email to those who signed up for alerts.

Trust me, you'd know if that had happened as the thread would move on by 50+ pages in minutes ;)
[Nexus 4 General] roar349:
Anyone getting one from O2 managed to negotiate a deal on the handset?

I've been on simplicity for a while but don't mind going to a normal contract if I can balance out the cost a bit...
[Nexus 4 General] culac:
Anyone managing to get HSPA+ speeds in the UK, particularly on 3?

I thought 3 had rolled out 42mpbs HSPA+ in some areas, but I am yet to get speeds that are better than my old One X or even DHD, so it seems the phones weren't the bottleneck.

Wondering also if I might need a new sim card to take advantage of HSPA+?
[Nexus 4 General] stennett:
I think it will be next Tuesday! It won't stop me checking 20 times a day though!
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Be nice if I can find someone who has a £50 discount code or something for the carphonewarehouse as my local has stock!

God damn you CPW why charge £390 :P.
[Nexus 4 General] Gaugerer:
I bought two 32 gb Nexus 4 from Carphone Warehouse yesterday because I wanted them for Xmas. It was sold out in Dundee and I got the last two in St Andrews.
[Nexus 4 General] calyxim:
Guys, my phone died 3 weeks ago. RIP. I am using/wrestling this crappy htc wildfire ever since.

Should I just give up and get a one x instead? It's not convenient to carry around this nexus 7 you know :D

It sounds like we ain't getting anything before February...

You didn't get 32 gig N4's ;)
[Nexus 4 General] eLv./.G1:
Maybe he added up the two n4s to make 32??:D
[Nexus 4 General] chenga28:
coz CPW are c**ts, but i still bought mine from there, sister works there and got 30% off (work discount) so it was still cheaper than googleplay!!!

apparently CPW have been selling lots, so there are alot of ppl will be prepared to pay that price.

have still got my original order on google play, will sell to a friend "once" i get it.

love the phone, one thing is that my htc one x had a better camera.
[Nexus 4 General] Gaugerer:
True they were 16 gb. :)
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Ill take it at 10% off thanks... £351 yeah cool?

Wish i knew someone at CPW, friend left there a year ago now >.<.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
Any news from google?

Looks like today at 5pm CET Germany can order it again...
[Nexus 4 General] :
WTF Google!

This is getting stupid.

Germany go live again later today

[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Finally feel like I may be getting somewhere with Google, call number six. For once the guy actually seemed to care and went off script. Said my situation was really weird. I even have a ticket number for their shipping team who I expect to hear from soon. Hang tight in there my fellow limbo people!
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
Just had *that* email from Google.

[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
If you guys get one before I do from the 13th I might be a bit peeved haha ;)
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Lmao. I am sorry for you guys, but I will be watching that mess and laughing at Google. I hope I'm wrong though.

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters"
[Nexus 4 General] Caumen:
I seriously hope that I can get it this time!
[Nexus 4 General] daveyjam:
Have people got any good scripts to run to try and get one on the store? Obviously the more people use theme the higher the demand on the store but I assume many will still use one.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
That mail is random? i set up for the notify 2 times but I don't get it...
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Wow ! :laugh:

This is great news and a nice surprise. :good:

Good luck to every1 - hopefully this will be enough for everyone and if not there should still be time for another batch just in time for xmas [hopefully as I'm not getting mine until Xmas day onwards :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
For those of us who already purchased overpriced eBay ones....Do you think this is an opportunity to buy one for normal price and re-sell it for the cost of your ebay one?
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
You can try. You definitely won't sell it for less than play store prices. Don't forget to be careful about ebay and PayPal charges, got to take that into account or you might sell it at a loss.

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters"
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
True.....hmmm this is a tough call.....
[Nexus 4 General] Teeohbee:
Meh, way I see it, you weighed up your options and decided not to wait and so paid inflated prices. If you then take stock away from those who have been patiently waiting just to recoup your costs then... well... ethical grey-area...
[Nexus 4 General] muttly:
Does anyone know if during last nights sale in Canada if they were told to wait 6-7 weeks too?

I'd hate to think we would be in the same boat.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Anything goes imho. Maybe he regretted it badly (most likely). If he can do it, good luck to him. It's the people that get 10 just to resell that I have a problem with.

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters"
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
Since when was ethics part of it!? :laugh:

Anyway, I'd say its more ethical to sell on ebay for the reason to make back my losses rather than sell on ebay to make a profit, no?
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
i think you would.

it depends if you can click fast enough though :fingers-crossed:

but good luck !
[Nexus 4 General] :
Singed up twice to be notified and i haven't received the email.

Oh well,

See you at 5pm.

Good luck guys, may the fastest internet connection win.

*looks at my slow 5mb connection :(*
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Got email. Heh, I got N4 already. Oh, the irony.

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters"

Good luck guys.

I see it's been posted on 'that deal website' and has already gone hot... Not gonna help matters.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
I'm glad I've got one from o2, my work PC seems to think we are in America and will only send me to the us play store so of be waiting a long time for them to be back in normal stock so I could buy one at home
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
Same here, got it on the 1st of Dec.

Paid more but I guess its worth it since they only had 2 left in stock at cpw.

Not willing to risk not getting it by Christmas :D

Loving it !
[Nexus 4 General] Bilhouse:
What a pathetic launch procedure from Google. Ordering the iPhone was much smoother even though consumer demand for that product was far, far greater than the Nexus 4. Got right to the end of the order, waited for the confirmation page and then it came up red saying 'Card was not charged' with no additional information given. Tried loading the page to get another one but it just came up with errors.

How big was their stock allocation of 16GB units? It seems incredibly small.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Can I have the number as want to ask why they kept emptying my basket, been trying since it went online so this is a joke.

Ta
[Nexus 4 General] Kas206:
The 8GB is showing as coming soon now.

Really google!? Is this all the stock you had?
[Nexus 4 General] micflair:
Got an 8gb after trying for a 16gb for a long time. Took a bit but got the 8gb in the end, 16gb must be deffo sold out now.
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
can i have their number ?

is it a free landline ?
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Ordered the phone :) How long till the order confirmation email?

[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Every single time I've joined in on trying to buy a launch device it's a shambles, except... when I buy from Apple (hasn't happened in a long time mind you).

Do not understand how such powerful retailers/businesses cannot get it right.

If Google have poor stock levels, it goes quick, but for Google to be having constant server issues... that is a fail right there considering the search engine they run.
[Nexus 4 General] letom:
Hey I would check your google wallet pages, I got error at the basket but decided to have a quick look in the wallet transactions, and I have an order pending :/
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:

I'm going to bed. I'll try again later. There's no point me staying up now, ahaha.
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Those of you who have ordered, does the order show when you check in google play? Mine doesn't but it does show in google wallet?

[Nexus 4 General] jtc42:
I'm in exactly the same boat. Internet connection and all.

To be honest, the waiting time bothers me less. Loads of new phones will probably get announced before my N4 arrives, but come Google IO I'll love the fact I'll get all the snazzy new software first. It's the same every year. I get pissed at Google for something, I consider switching, Google IO happens and I fanboy out for another few months. I think I'll handle the wait for that.
[Nexus 4 General] deejay187:
People still say " snazzy " ? :)

Does anyone know if all the Canadian stock sold out when they went back on sale yesterday?

Trying to determine if the demand will still be super high in the UK. After 5pm tonight is it forecasted they will be immediately out of stock?
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
See the thread for yourself

http://phandroid.com/2012/12/03/nexus-4-available-canada/

I haven't heard that people couldn't get one but the wait went back to 6-7 weeks after a few hours.
[Nexus 4 General] jtc42:
Dude! Yeah I say snazzy, what of it?! :p Compliment to Google's work of the highest order.

On topic: I'm bloody lucky actually. Normally have a lab session until 6pm but managed to bail early today, so fingers crossed :D
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
I think I'm going to go for it then. Quite a big risk....

[Nexus 4 General] tosin01:

nexus 4 will be back in stock at 5pm today, but i highly advise everyone to use a page refreshing plug in on your browser and making it refresh every 10 seconds starting at 4pm. im guessing by 4.45 it should go on sale.

hopefully it will be like the nexus 10's second batch and will be done properly and arrive in 2 days :)

I'm super excited about being able to finally order a nexus 4. I plan to get the 16Gb. Demand is so big that I think the site will crash and there will be a ton of people who will buy tons to sell on eBay :( I will post a reply if I'm successful in getting one.

[Nexus 4 General] Teeohbee:
Purchases will be limited to just one per account. This was the case for Canada, so people will not so easily be able to buy them to sell on.
[Nexus 4 General] Caumen:
How long did the stocks last for Canada? Wasn't it 30 minutes or so? Or is it still available?

I'm trying to go through a proxy to buy it, since I am not in the UK at the moment, but do any of you guys know a stable proxy?
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Stocks are still available in Canada but the wait time is 6-7 weeks.
