What's going on guys? My girlfriend is heading over to the London area in January for a 4 month study abroad program. I am in the middle of dumping all 4 of my contract lines from Verizon anyways, so when/if ever the Nexus 4's go on sale again I will be buying 4 of them, lol. Anyways, on topic, what is going to the best carrier price wise? She's not going to be doing much traveling due to her being a full time student who works a secretary job <20 hours a week, so any extended coverage information can really be left out. The only time she would really use much data would probably be calling me over Google Voice if she needs to, and possibly Facebook/G+ and streaming music/video during transit. She already confirmed great Wi-Fi coverage on both the campus and her living area, but that was to be expected. She doesn't use much more than 250-300 minutes a month right now, and that's with having friends and family to be able to call, so I wouldn't assume she'd need more than 250 minutes/month just in case. Texting wise, I am sure she will use Google Talk a lot to text back here, so a bare bones option would probably work there too. Of course, the ability to upgrade the plan if needed is also a concern. She just needs a prepaid carrier, not contracts or anything like that.

Thanks in advance for the information!

3.

unbeatable deals compared to the others. you can get a 1 month rolling contract for £12 or so with a minutes, texts and 1GB allowance if i remember correctly.

giffgaff.com

Uses o2 network. 30day rolling contract. £10 250mins, unlimited mins texts, 1gb data

So does anyone in the UK have a bumper yet? I'm thinking of ordering but have heard google has ****ed this up aswell.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Nope.. they've had them marked in stock for ages but they're not.
[Nexus 4 General] AtLemacks:
Those prices include all taxes and such? And can they be refilled early in the event she goes over some portion?
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Yeah. Look at both yourself would be best. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
I was on the £10 goody bag until the data allowance was capped from unlimited, I'm now on Three as I got fed up with all the data outages on giffgaff, it is a great deal though but in the end the giffgaff tariff with unlimited data is £13 so I just decided to get the £15 plan from Three which is some calls [about 250 minutes] and some text [about 3000] and unlimited data
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
Let's hope that as well as shipping those back orders, they also have more stock for sale. Not holding my breath though !
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
Indeed.

I 'd like to hope that all the back orders are able to be fulfilled , leaving a paltry few fro the play store.

I have a bad feeling that the play store will continue to be throttled for stock - after all, Google must be providing a motivation for retailers to stock this device.
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
I am also happy to pay you the Play Store price to grab the spare N4. Is it 16GB? I will of course pay you postage too :cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
I received the "will be dispatched this week email" too (UK)

No updates on the wallet though
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
I've ordered one on the 16th...last night I got an email stating that it will be despatched anytime between now and 2 weeks from now....I preferred not to answer back as I could have been very rude...
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Cant believe that they wouldn't have enough stock for restocking the Play Store

^^^^ this ^^^^

This is exactly what we all believe to be going on and until Google say otherwise that's what I'm going to believe, why else would the stock be in such a mess
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
Its not USA man :) taxes are already included its the law regulated by EU union .

And don't go with giff gaff their antennas are based on o2 and lately o2 had 3 outages in less than couple of months. 3 is far much better and faster. For her it would be pay and go tariff for £15. She won't be able to aiming cheaper monthly deal as she is not UK resident ....
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Hmm, I ordered a bumber on the 21st and haven't received any mail saying that, just the normal - your item will be shipped in the next 2-5 business days
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
I too ordered just the Bumper on 21 November (seeing as that was the only Nex 4 related item Google Play had in stock!).

I inquired about it on the 25 November and had the following two responses:
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
So it looks like there may be a refund for the shipping of the bumper case too?

considering that today is the fifth business day maybe I should query where my bumper is as well
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
You are correct. I am going to demand a refund for my Bumper's shipping (once it ships) - can hold them against this email if they quibble. I think it is only fair since the website said 'Ships within 3-5 business days'.
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
What was the wording of your mail, I'll do the same if thats ok with you?
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
Sure.

First mail:

Hi,

I placed an order for a Nexus 4 Bumper via Google Play Store on 21 November (Order # xxxxxx). Today is 26 November and I have not had any communication or shipping notification for my purchase.

Kindly let me know the status of my item and dispatch it as soon as possible.

Kind regards,

Second mail:

Hi Chris,

I would expect Google to waive off the shipping charges in this instance since I was promised delivery within 3-5 business days. Now you are saying that delivery is likely to be within "3 weeks". That is hell of a difference.

Kindly get back to me on this.

Kind regards,
[Nexus 4 General] :
So if Google forfill all of the back orders this week can the patient people like me hope for Google Play stock next week? (looking forward to the next scramble)

The wait goes on....
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
I hope so, this has been a farce

---------- Post added at 12:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:25 PM ----------

Hankyoooo
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
its beyond farce now mate
[Nexus 4 General] voxov:
Dafuq, I jump through O2's hoops so I can get my hands on the phone, and even after I have one, Google manages to disappoint!

I love this phone but seriously...

...

I might still place an order just to get the free shipping :p
[Nexus 4 General] zukuvybz:
\\o \o/ o//
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
ARGH!

screw you eBay, just got a notification from them for a shipped item and hoped it miggh have been a shipping notice from Screwgle.
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
I called them last Wednesday and they offered straight away refund for the delivery charge...I think they'll refund everybody at this point

[Nexus 4 General] lonespeaker:
just got my shipping notice for n4 only which is weird cos I received the n4 on the 15th. hope I don't get a second one.
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
When does it say you will get it?

Sent from Nexus 4 only if Google move there ass!
[Nexus 4 General] lonespeaker:
email doesn't say. all it gives is a tnt tracking number which doesn't work at the moment.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
That would be rather ironic if we all got a bunch of free devices. :)

sent via xda premium with nexus 7 while waiting for my back ordered Nexus 4!
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
I'm hopping this time tomorrow it will be in my hands :D

Sent from Nexus 4 only if Google move there ass!
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
and sold them for £100 to those who are waiting:good:
[Nexus 4 General] :
But what about your Nexus 4?

---------- Post added at 01:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ----------

Yes please!
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
To the yarn for a hug and a pint over our n4s when everyone's arrive

Does car phone warehouse have any bumpers?
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Lol, Screwgle!

Looks promising I thought I'd send them a mail anyway, I have some form of evidence that it should have shipped yesterday

Doesn't surprise me one bit the way things have been going with this launch
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
did google launch the titanic
[Nexus 4 General] chandlerweb:
iirc the titanic launched fine, it just sank later. I think, after a roky start for the N4, once its on general availability it will fly!
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Yanks getting another go at ordering one! http://www.theverge.com/2012/11/27/3696884/nexus-4-google-play-today
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
yeah,n4 lauched fine then dissappeared later too:D
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Hope we get a go too...

OTOH they may just be like the bumpers - sure you can *order* one, but don't get your hopes up... :p
[Nexus 4 General] :
This whole debacle stinks of the O2 1 month exclusive deal. I think our play store will be barren until the 13th of December.
[Nexus 4 General] :
O2 UK network

Hi guys,

I got a question to UK O2 N4 users..

Does you network connection ever show H+ or only H. Mine is only H, never seen H+ so far..

Is this normal or maybe APN settings need changing?

Cheers,
[Nexus 4 General] pkrboo:
No the n4 won't show H+, you have to look in settings to see what connection you have. There is another thread on here explaining it better
[Nexus 4 General] mintvilla:
Yes i asked this question in a different thread.

Stock android doesnt have a H+ symbol, that doesnt mean you are not getting H+, it basically just shows a H whether you are on H or H+
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Go into settings>about phone>status and under mobile connection it will say how you are connected. I wondered about HSDPA+ but ive definitely seen HSDPA+15 in there a couple of times
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
thats what i have in my s2
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
Looks like the us will have a restock and play store will be opened for orders from noon today...

How about in the UK? Any information?

Cheers
[Nexus 4 General] :
I think you'll have more chance or sourcing some rocking horse turd.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
From Google (I guess already posted in here by now)
[Nexus 4 General] stiggy2012:
Google are beyond a joke. Once again, they're ****ing the rest of the world up the arse.

When will the rest of us be able to buy a nexus 4 eh? Next week, next month, next year?!? It's now for sale in the US, and yet we still have no information at all. Appalling service. Clearly they couldn't give a ****.
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
...and if we get the email in the next few hours , how appalling would that be?

chill :angel:
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
he won't,un-chill and panic :p
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Mines has shipped! :D

No email yet, but I checked Google Play and it said "delivered". Went to wallet and I have a TNT tracking number.

FINALLY.

Keep checking Play Store/Wallet everyone.
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
ta-dah!
[Nexus 4 General] stiggy2012:
What email would that be? Last time I checked, Google aren't even offering to email me when stock is available. Though given what happened last time (they'd sold out before they even emailed me) I wouldn't take them up on the offer anyway.

If they were going to start selling them again in elsewhere they'd have released a press release saying so. There's still a limited amount of stock available and unless you were one of the lucky few who managed to order one on the 13th, they're all going to US customers.

I think at this point I have every right to be mad.
[Nexus 4 General] zibby64:
The main question... just the phone or phone + bumper?
[Nexus 4 General] culac:
Just received my shipping email.

Best of luck to the rest of you waiting. Hope you get it soon too!
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Ooooo, *goes off to check* mine still says pending :'(

Encouraging new though :D
[Nexus 4 General] Arival:
I don't have an email yet but I just checked my status on wallet and it says shipped by tnt 2 day delivery :D
[Nexus 4 General] Teeohbee:
There's a whole load of assumptions in that post.
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
I just got shipping email :D
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Just got the delivery email :D
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
the email the USA is receiving right now saying the phone is going back on sale in a few hours...

Same thing happened to me - as i said above, the USA are getting prior notice of availability

There is no need for a hissy fit *yet* - in the coming hours we may receive the email for the UK play store

a press release?! :D

you have absolutely no idea or no justification for that statement .... yet

it's a free (almost) country!
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
I didn't think we'd break Google lol
[Nexus 4 General] phil001:
yes, within about 5 mins
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
I think they are only letting a few through at the same time then locking it off for like 5 mins to allow them to process. Makes sense really. But I'm feeling for you guys who are having problems

---------- Post added at 08:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

No not got it yet but showing up on google itself, prob a bottle neck of emails
[Nexus 4 General] keepittidy:

Didn't know how long I could make this costa coffee last me.. Thanks for the free wifi, I'm now off to work (late)
[Nexus 4 General] vizzy:

sonofa.... I ordered mine @ 08:28 and still pending.
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:
Still waiting for shipping email, ordered N4, N10 and the bumper @8:29 in a single order and have the feeling I'll get my items last :(
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Don't tell me those of use that ordered the bumper are still in limbo and the only people getting shipping info today are still solus orders?
[Nexus 4 General] ticktime:
N4 ordered around 11:40 am.
[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
The US getting that email is promising, is there anything I have to do to get that email whenever it's restocked in the UK?
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
I only ordered the Nexus 4, it's the 8GB version, and has shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
did people on here order from google play today???
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
just Nexus 4 16gb 8:32
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
today??
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
Does you tracking number work, tried but it just says not recognized, maybe i'll just have to wait
[Nexus 4 General] fluent1:
Shipped 16gb ordered on the 13th at 8:28

Tracking number doesn't work yet, but I'm not worried.
[Nexus 4 General] ck2009:
Raging I ordered mine at 8.24am and still haven't got a shipping email :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Mines doesn't, it's next day shipping so don't worry :P
[Nexus 4 General] pkrboo:
I think the people who ordered a bumper as well as phone are screwed. I ordered at 0818 with confirmation at 0842.
[Nexus 4 General] :
whooooooooooooooo

Looks like something is happening!

Hopefully back-orders will be cleared today or tomorrow at the latest.

They have in the USA and they go back on sale on the USA Play store at GMT 8pm

http://liliputing.com/2012/11/google-nexus-4-goes-on-sale-again-today.html

Hope they go back on sale in the UK in the coming days for us that didn't get a chance to even be back ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
The 16GB one. 10:35am on 13th
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
I ordered an 8GB version too, and I ordered a bumper separately
[Nexus 4 General] 1arry1iu:
Just received the tracking number.
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:
Can't understand why Google is doing everything the wrong way. Bumper still shows "in stock" and ready to ship in 3-5 days in the Play Store, but I suspect it is not available at all. If this is the case I would be happy if Google don't refund me the shipping charges and just send me the f**ing N4 and N10 and leave this bumper for later...
[Nexus 4 General] PWF:
I'm the same. Ordered just a 16GB at 08:29. So looks like they're just getting dispatched at random again!
[Nexus 4 General] suhail_kapoor:
Yup mine was ordered on 8:21 @ 16gb .. still pending, no email yet
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
TNT are a bit slow to update tracking it'll probably update overnight based on previous experiences.
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Ordered a 16GB @ 0936 on the 13 and I just got my tracking number. Shame no one's going to be home to collect it. :mad::(
[Nexus 4 General] chistery:
Ordered 16gb N4 on 13th Nov 09:39

Tracking email received 27th Nov 16:38
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
No email as of yet, I didn't miss this feeling ):
[Nexus 4 General] Arival:
When I got my n7 the TNT tracking number Google sent never worked - this seems like the same error I got last time. Usually TNT give a message like 'order booked' as soon as it's been placed rather than just 'can't be found' - does anyone have a working one or are they all the same?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Got my tracking number this afternoon. Shame the phone arrived almost two weeks ago :D
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Yeah, my backordered 8GB was just sent.
[Nexus 4 General] zibby64:
damnit! why did i order a bumper with mine!?
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Does it say delivered 2 weeks ago?

Funny if Google sent you another phone!

Return O2, return Play Store, or Sell Boxed Google phone

Dilemma
[Nexus 4 General] ronnieb555:
N4 16gb ordered 8:24am 13th still no shipping :(
[Nexus 4 General] :
My page change notifier has gone off about 5 times in the last 3 hours.

God knows what Google are up to.
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:
I'm in the same boat, mate - ordered N4 + N10 + bumper and it seems Google doesn't have any bumpers in stock. Tomorrow morning I'm calling CSR to ask them to remove the f**in' bumper from my order.
[Nexus 4 General] Arival:
I've just spoken to TNT - Google sent out their internal reference number instead of the tracking number which is why we're getting strange delivery information. There's no way for us to track items using it and parcels won't be scanned until the morning so TNT can't help till then. Anyone wanting to know status should either call Google now and ask for their actual tracking number (and berate them for being idiots) or tnt in the morning when they can find your tracking number with your postcode.

Google has really lost a lot of respect from me over the last month :(
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Sadly it does :(

They've also finally charged me for the phone too.

The tracking number works fine, it's only been covered a thousand times in this thread and the Play Store one.
[Nexus 4 General] itsfozzy:
You should send your N4 back as a protest, I will PM you Google's address in Stoke. Your refund may take two years (or more) to come through.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Are you putting the number in as the consignment or reference (whatever the other option is) as the first batch never received consignment numbers but you had to select reference to put it in. Just thought I'd check as the number of people who kept saying they had old or no details was annoying the first time round ;) Knowing Google though they have messed it up.

My page monitor had an amendment to the 16GB page and they've added.....wait for it.....an introduction to the Play Store banner with a learn more link lol

I've got my phone from O2 so not even looking to buy one as tempting as profiteering is if there's a massive rush again but I'm not like that so can't be bothered.
[Nexus 4 General] monkfish_lad:
I was lucky with my N10 as I ordered that when it came back in stock on the evening of the 21st. It arrived at 9:30 on the 23rd. (Probably going to be returned due to light bleed).

I already tried to cancel my bumpers last week and was told I would have to cancel the entire order so didn't bother. If the N4 becomes available in the play store before a shipping email then I will cancel and re-order - or just follow the traditional British tradition of a strongly worded letter to their HQ in Ireland!
[Nexus 4 General] Arival:
If yours works then great, it means not everyone is affected,but mine didn't and when I called tnt they explained why. I called Google and got a second working one from them. The Google Play support guy also apologised and said they are trying to resolve the problem as lots of other people are having exactly the same issue.
[Nexus 4 General] fluent1:
To the people saying that everyones tracking works fine:

it doesn't, I've tried both consignment and reference.
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
I am a prospective buyer for the boxed 16GB from Play Store - only if you price it the same as Play Store ;)
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Hurray, I too have an email. And a non-working number. I'm not too concerned though, it'll get here when it gets here.

Nice thing to wake up to =). Except they took the shipping cost too. Will be following that up at some point, if I don't get the refund specified in the email from earlier.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Sorry if this has been mentioned, but does anyone know if it's two-day or overnight shipping? Basically is there a chance of us getting our orders tomorrow?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
It's over night in the UK.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
The shipping email mentions postage getting refunded within 7 days.
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Yeah, I just don't see why they need to take it in the first place. And I got an email before saying they wouldn't take it, so more misinformation again.
