Is there a workaround about this tethering issue?
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
you don't get free tethering on the £12 goodybag do you? or are they not strict about it?
[Nexus 4 General] adamski123:
Is everybodies saying shipping in 4-5 weeks?
[Nexus 4 General] Nathanation:
cool I will definitely be going with them! Curious though, do you get HSPA+ Data speeds?

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

nope mine said 1-2 weeks! must be different batches I guess.
[Nexus 4 General] Androll79:
I have my nexus 7 hooked up, used way more that 1gb and nothing has never been said. On it pretty much constantly commuting to work and back, hour each way, I stream net flick with no issues:D
[Nexus 4 General] shaneZ95:
If i ordered my 16GB when it said 1-2 weeks is it actually 1-2 weeks or the 4-5 the page displays now, did they only deploy the 4-5 once a certain amount had been sold to deal with stock?
[Nexus 4 General] Demented-Idiot:
When i ordered mine it said 1-2 weeks on the website and still says 1-2 weeks on my email confirmation.. just wondering why some people are getting 3-5 days :(:(
[Nexus 4 General] crisahan:
be grateful man...

lots of people like me been told 4-5 weeks in emails...
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
I don't remember seeing free on it when looking but depends what you're tethering. I've always used my phone when out doing business with my tablet but never had an issue on O2 who don't allow any tethering and now using Tesco and again no issues. If you're using it for another mobile device such as a tablet you can probably tether to your hearts content as it still registers a mobile device useragent for data so is the same as using your mobile whereas if you tether a PC to your phone then the traffic will be different and if you start downloading large files it will be obvious to them and you may get a notice to say reduce or stop.

All dependent on order times, the later you order the further back the shipping will get as they're allocating to stock they expect to receive it looks like.

You should get it in areas covered by O2 as it's not restricted by GiffGaff, they just piggy back off O2. I get it HSPA+ on Tesco in one location I visit currently (where I look at my phone anyway) but don't think everywhere round here is currently covered by it.

As said above it's dependent on when you got your order in as when I checked at 6 when I got home it'd already gone to 4-5 weeks so looks like they're allocating various stock batches and will only get longer the later people order.

They got in there right at the start and were lucky I think. It's all down to timing.
[Nexus 4 General] Demented-Idiot:
oh, dont get me wrong.. i am grateful lol! been waiting ages to throw some money at google.
[Nexus 4 General] jtc42:
Managed to get one, as did my housemate. I got 1-2 weeks and he got 4-5 so we're all good here.

Hope everyone who wanted one got one! Lucky to those who got 3-5 days shipping! Just grateful to have one in the bag finally :)

Now just to hope TNT don't **** anything up :p
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
Just cancelled my 16gb order
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Why? Ah well, maybe someone lucky from 4-6 weeks batch will get it sooner.

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters"
[Nexus 4 General] jbuk__:
Just chiming in, I ordered at 17:07:06 GMT (apparently) and unticked the "Link to my account" box; and my confirmation email says "delivered in 3-5 days". The site said 1-2 weeks when I placed the order.

To my knowledge, I haven't yet been charged, but to be fair my bank's online service is rubbish and usually takes a day or two to reflect anything that happens.

I guess I've got a bit lucky.
[Nexus 4 General] crisahan:
quick question here...

does the order appear in the pending section or completed section for you guys?
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
Because I realise I'd never be able to sell the 8gb I got off ebay for 350quid....so I'm just keeping that and crying myself to sleep
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
Ordered at 17:05, still pending.
[Nexus 4 General] jbuk__:
The "pending" section, and as I mentioned I'm a 3-5 day-er.
[Nexus 4 General] redmamoth:
Pending for me too, my email also says 3-5days.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Posted this a few pages back but this thread has speed up:

To clear a few things up (with my Nexus 7 order knowledge)

Pending in wallet:

This is perfectly normal. My Nexus 7 i pre-ordered before release was sat on pending for weeks. When yours is reading to ship that will change.

Bank account Charged:

If your bank account is changed this mean nothing. Google can charge you and then refund you. It's something to do with putting a hold on that money. (to check you have enough money in the first place to for-fill the order)

When yours is ready to be sent you will be charged for real.

Also just because it says 'Ships within 1-2 weeks' don't hold your breath. It could be any time. Google didn't for-fill the ship time on N7's and some N4's.
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Does anyone know if the money is taken from your account straight away?
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Just a heads up to all those who've now ordered and maybe even those who have their's already, make sure you've either got a large data allowance or unlimited if you plan on making use of Google Music as I just realised Google Music has taken over 400MB on it's own as didn't realise I was shuffling all songs from my whole collection selected and not just those on my device. As default "Stream via Wi-Fi only is unchecked in settings and the drop down at the top of your selection pane is set to "All music" rather than "On device". I've only got 1GB allowance but luckily I didn't upload all my music till a week or 2 ago and it was using part from what's on my device with others from my account so not as bad as it could've been. I've now ticked to only stream via Wi-Fi so shouldn't have any issues going forward but will probably now look into getting on GiffGaff purely so I can make use of my 2,000 ish songs already uploaded.

Just thought I'd let any of you who are interested in Google Music know in case you were like me and didn't look through the settings first lol
[Nexus 4 General] Dharms:
Order Info

FYI, or anyone collating the data I placed order at 17:08:25, I have the delivery of 3-5 days and my order status says complete.

Fingers crossed, there are no unfortunate problems.
[Nexus 4 General] jbuk__:
Is that the status in Google Play or Wallet?
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
Same for me, pending in wallet with 3-5 days on email. Google play order says completed. Wouldn't hold my breath on the 3-5 days stated in the email, 1-2 weeks is more likely, but I have had no reply from google support yet saying which one is correct :(
[Nexus 4 General] benandjerry:
If any kind soul would be willing to pick up an extra (8gb may be fine since they so harsh limiting to one of each per person, though 16gb is preferable if someone only getting 8gb one for themselves) and ship to Sweden I'd cover all shipping including your google shipping and include a smaller amount as a token of appreciation, feel free to pm.
[Nexus 4 General] tosin01:
Order info

8gb ordered 17:09.4-5weeks pending. Money taken from account

16gb ordered 17:09 1-2weeks, pending. Money taken from account.
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
^^^^^

This.

Sold an N4 and a Desire Z within 24 hrs of the adverts going live on Gumtree. The dude who bought the DZ actually sent the money to me at work with a courier and I sent the phone to him through the same courier. I was surprised to find that there were people in London who still believed in humanity and were trusting enough to send money without seeing a product.
[Nexus 4 General] Dharms:
Play

Wallet just says: you placed your order..... and Google commerce received your order
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
Same here! 3-5 days pending on wallet complete on playstore.

I'm just happy because I manage to order it this time I don't really care about when, I got it :D
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
As it says pending do you know if the money has been taken?
[Nexus 4 General] Tivens:
^up

when I ordered mine (5 mins ago) in the e-mail i received they said i won't be charged until the phone is shipped.

I'm sooo damn happy i finally managed to order it! will be getting it early next year, but owell!
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
yes, they reserve the money in my card. They just charge you when they'll ship it
[Nexus 4 General] jelli:
Same for me too, can't wait for this phone. Desire HD is really starting to show it's age.
[Nexus 4 General] spoonboy:
So I ordered at around 5.40pm, on the website it said ships in 4-5 weeks.

I just phoned Google and was told that I should receive a shipping notification from TNT in around 48 hours. :eek:

Slightly dubious about that, but just glad I could actually order it.

FWIW the rep said ticking/unticking the 'link to my google account' option makes no difference to shipping times.
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
Yup same, tried for an hour on the 13th with no luck despite getting to the checkout so many times! Just glad I know I have one on the way soon. Thankfully I was at uni today with our insane wi-fi (http://speedtest.net/result/2350849512.png), so I think this may have helped somewhat :D

Would be nice to know if it's 3-5 days or 1-2 weeks as I would need to stay in for delivery, but who knows, the way things have been going I wouldn't trust anything Google says :P
[Nexus 4 General] ranzzit:
Same here. Ordered at 17:03 and got a mail saying 1 to 2 weeks. By the way what did they mean by shipping in 2 days for which they charged an extra 9 pounds or so?
[Nexus 4 General] r3loaded2010:
Well, I've ordered my 16GB N4 and ETA is 4-5 weeks which seems in line with what most people seem to have.
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Really odd. Looked in my google play account on orders. I have one nexus 4 as pre-ordered. Then another one above it as pending :S
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Hi

Thought it was just me.

Got the same

The link for both shows the Same order number

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] Fall Guy:
The 2 day shipping is for TNT delivery, that's 2 days from when it gets shipped from them to you. Not it will be shipping in 2 days time.
[Nexus 4 General] ‬1‬:
i don't understand why some people are charged instantly.

here is the email i received:

You've made a purchase on Google Play. You will not be charged until your order has shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Nice speedtest I get similar download speeds at home as per the below (from the BT Wholesale speedcheck site) but it's a shame the N4 can only seem to go to about 35-40MB down but that's plenty for what I need on the phone anyway :p
[Nexus 4 General] Kas206:
I ordered at 5:06:49 PM GMT

I get an email saying delivered in 1-2 weeks

How come some people who ordered after me got an email saying shipped in 3-5 days :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
They're not being charged it's a reservation of funds as mentioned plenty of times in the thread. They do this to make sure you don't use those funds for something else so they can get their money for what they're sending you.
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Here's my experience this afternoon (approx timings).

5:30pm - browse the web and come across a site with the story saying the N4 was back on sale from 5pm. I think "****, I missed it, they'll be all sold out by now)". Go on to Play Store anyway, expecting a "no stock" notice, but my suprise I find it's still there.

5:35pm - hit a problem trying to complete my purchase - I can't remember my Google password. Aargh !

5:40pm - eventually manage to reset my password, and to my suprise the item is still ok in my basket, and the purchase goes through.

Yes! Very happy! My email says 4-5 weeks, but that's fine with me, at least I've got an order in now, I can wait.

5:45pm - speak to my fiancee, because she knew I wanted one for Xmas, and tell her I've ordered one. She was trying along with two other people who she asked to help her, but they were just hitting error messages and associated problems, so they didn't get an order in.

Yay! I'll just need to sit and be patient now.
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
Good gravy! I only have 20Mb down and 1Mb up at home :( When I went from 2Mb to 10Mb years ago I thought it was insanely fast and why would I ever need more! :P *remembers the dial up days* ahhh, 56K
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Somehow or another Google messed up my order and gave me two 16gb versions, yes two! Both are shipping in 1-2 weeks and it shows up as pending inn both play orders and wallet. Don't know how people got 3-5 days, I ordered at 5;06PM and got 1-2wk. Not that I'm complaining, im just so glad if finally got one (or two) ordered! Hope I get it for Xmas!
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
wouldn't call it a stretch to say that you might end up getting your nexus(es) in 3-5 days, and people like me with the 3-5 days email might get it just before christmas :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
Can you not just cancel one? My order time was 5:05:45 and I got 3-5 days which was unexpected. I am wondering if it was just a glitch.

Were they in stock before 5:05? I kept hammering on refresh on 3 browsers before than an nothing was coming up.
[Nexus 4 General] SreePillai:
don't discount it..when i ordered my nexus 10 'round 2' it said 2-3 weeks but got a shipping confirmation the next day...and i know it's 2 diff. hardware manufacturers and diff supply chains and all that but it is still serviced by Google..so fingers crossed we might just get it sooner than 4-5 weeks
[Nexus 4 General] sav_uk:
Finally managed to order one tonight! So happy that at least I'm finally somewhere in the queue! How is everyone finding out how long their shipping estimates are?
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Yes I could but I think im going to sell it on.

From 5pm onwards I kept hammering F5 till about 5 past add to cart Showed up but wen I got to the end of checkout I got an error so I restarted the order and then it worked. Only an hour later I realised I had two play emails.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
2 day shipping from dublin !!!!!!!!!!! are they walking it over,oh well s2 going on gumtree,farewell dear friend
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
It's in the confirmation email that you should have received after placing the order ;)
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
mine says 2 days but email says 5-6 weeks
[Nexus 4 General] SreePillai:
yours might be diff. but normally the 2 days is estimated delivery time after its shipped. mine says will ship in abt 4-5 weeks
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
I was one of the original LL3s (backordered club) whose shipment got delivered to the WRONG person and is now "unrecoverable" (cheers TNT). All that waiting for nothing! And not to mention, I'd originally ordered an N4 and N10, and the latter is no longer in stock! Anyway Google are in the process of giving me a refund. So I went ahead and reordered an N4 today. If it doesn't arrive in 3-5 days like the email said it would, tables will be flipped. I somehow think I deserve free shipping this time. Am I just being an entitled brat or..?
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
To be honest you shouldn't have to reorder, the fact they have stock you should just be sent one as per your old order, it's nuts they are refunding and making you buy another one
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Apparently its all they can do, they auto refund you if the parcel goes missing and they can't put you on the list to get another one as the order has to have been placed online through google wallet. Either way its not good costumer relations
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
the funny thing is, the first rep i spoke to actually told me i would be sent a replacement. i sent him an email calling him out and he had the nerve to send me this one liner : "i apologise for the wrong information". i kid u not. that's all he said! now i have to pay double shipping for my nexus 4 and nexus 10, whenever it comes back in stock. what BS
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
In Google Wallet it says Delivery (Two Day): £9.99 but email says 1-2 weeks. Ordered at 5:11pm

Does that mean we are entitled to refund on shipping if its more than 2 days?
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Give them a call and moan. Why should you pay for 2 day delivery if it's 2 weeks. It's not a pre order.

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters"
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
No two day shipping is the method of shipping they ate using when it is shipped
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
He can still try moaning.

"I'm all in favor of keeping dangerous weapons out of the hands of fools. Let's start with typewriters"
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Yeah if it says 1 - 2 weeks you cant kick off about the delivery method! Its like preordering a film off amazon and paying for next day delivery (extra) even though you wont get it any quicker. Google charge this delievery method on all their orders so I doubt you can challenge this, however if you have been told 3 - 5 days and it isnt then I assume we can kick off (same as if you dont get yours in 2 weeks).

Mine says 3 -5 days cant wait :P
[Nexus 4 General] DaveDesire:
I like this post. We can but hope
[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
there were still phones available at 11:08pm. Shipping time: 5 - 6 weeks
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Theres still phones available now withe shipping 4-5 weeks
[Nexus 4 General] mhs409:
Phones are still available, as of 04:43, but there seems to be change in limit. You can order only one 16GB per account while more than one 8GB seems to be ok.

I ordered one 16GB and it won't let me add another, but ordering more than one 8GB seems to be fine.
[Nexus 4 General] Demented-Idiot:
so far ive ordered 1 16gb and i cant order any more. i cant even order an 8gb (not that i want to.. im not greedy!)
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
STILL IN STOCK AT 07:41 am - 8 & 16 gig versions !
[Nexus 4 General] moghm:
Well, google are trying to redeem themselves after the last fiasco. Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
are you trying to buy from outside the UK ?

I ask as your flag in the 'more info' box states Norway.

Perhaps playstore won't process orders from outside UK ?
[Nexus 4 General] hx4700 user:
They must be confident!

Wow! I woke this morning and as always (every morning, every evening) I checked the Play store on the internet on my Nexus 7. Having not checked in with XDA for a while as I was completely bored by people discussing free TVs, I was amazed that I was able to get a 16GB N4. BUT on my N7, I could not get the pop out for my address to pop out. "I'm going to miss it" was the only thought until I got my laptop fired up and a real phone bought and paid for and email acknowledged. :D Estimated ship 5-6 weeks. (Dropped the one on the N7 out of my basket once I got one on my laptop.)

Yesterday evening I only got the usual unavailable message, so the system is still not quite right.

The most irritating thing is that Google have still NOT sent me my email advising it is back in stock. :mad:.

If I can still order one this late, and twice on first attempt 5 minutes apart, clearly there are going to be enough around to fill all the demand. Hopefully that means that multi-buyers who hope to sell for a massive profit will end up with more than one phone and no sale.

I've also ordered a Zagg invisibleSHIELD Maximum Coverage, as the invisible shield on my HD has kept its screen perfect for 3 years.

Is the bumper worth having? :confused: Please only answer if you actually have one and are using it.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Unless you sell to outside uk like America. Out of stock basicly ecerywere except UK (Which im pretty proud of :D)
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Just rang google about the Bumpers I have ordered one on the 17 Nov & the other on the 30th Nov.

The girt I spoke to was half asleep & utterly uninterested. She says they are on back order...Ya don't say. I didn't need to ring to find that out.

She had no idea when it'll be shipped or when they will have any back in stock.

What a farce..I really do feel for you guys who are still waiting what seems like forever for the handset.
[Nexus 4 General] redmamoth:
I didn't get the email either, despite registering interest TWICE! My colleague, who wan't even interested in buying one, but put his email in a while back did get an email! Lucky I was checking on here too.

Google really needs to get their act together for future releases, as this entire process has been inconsistent and an utter shambles.

That said, I can't wait to receive this bloody phone!!
[Nexus 4 General] chandlerweb:
8GB now Sold Out. I guess they always knew 16GB would be more popular and didnt make as many.

I registered with a few email addresses. Only one of them got the notification. I was regularly checking this forum anyway so it didnt make any difference but does make you lose confidence in Google.
[Nexus 4 General] Motogp1:
Got a email notification about 3 hours before they had stock.
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
Obviously you cant answer this, but quoted you for others to help. Are the bumpers muich better than a cheapo one from ebay would be? Thinking of ordering one there for a couple of quid.

See someone has an original LG bumper for sale on ebay. Current highest bid is £46 with 4 days of bidding left!! Surely thats insane?

EDIT: Also see one on buy it now for 70 including postage!
[Nexus 4 General] newbintraining:
I just went for this as a temporary measure until the bumper becomes available again

Finally able to order a 16gb last night (1-2 weeks) Was a damn sight better than my experience on the 13 the where Google wallet kept crashing on me.

Didn't get the e-mail either so thanks for the heads up you guys.

I always rocked a case on my HTC Hero and Nexus S.

My Nexus S has been going naked for the last couple of weeks and it feels so much better.

Don't want to get a case for my N4 but i have seen do many cracked screen threads... :/
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
OK guys just finished speaking to customer support , they are saying that if you got through to paying then got the "error occurred", its more than likely that your order went through but its taking along time to process.

Just keep checking your email and Google wallet.

I checked mine and I now have email confirming my purchase...;)

However they did NOT explain why its now unavailable..:(

I had the same and my device has now shown up in google play store. Keep checking on it.
