Mate it seems as though your order has dropped off the face of the earth, have you given Google a ring to find out what the f*ck is happening?
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
You should ring Google up, it might help
[Nexus 4 General] ralph78:
He is not the only one, I'm still waiting for mine and nothing happens. Ordered at 4th 18:28. Still at pre-order stage, no movement at all. I emailed Google just to get automated message and after a while I also got the message from Jason CSR that I'm still within estimated delivery time frame. They don't care at all who and in what order gets devices. Crappy company indeed...

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share something with you, I was reading this thread for a while and decided to try to contact them see if there was anything weird going on with my order as I had no credit card charge or anything at all. I ordered on the 5th of December (5-6 Weeks).

I went via the help center (Im sorry, I dont have enough posts to put links), so: support DOT google DOT com/googleplay , under Contact us, clicked on Devices, and then "I want to check my order/shipping status" and put in my order number. I expected an automatic reply and then I would reply to that to see if I got a new person.

What happened was that I received an automatic reply as expected, but it had this in it:

Not sure if this can be replicated, but it may be good to try and see what you guys get.
[Nexus 4 General] druggeduk:
Yeah, that's just an automated message based on the estimate you were given - it doesn't really mean anything.
[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
4th Dec, 1-2 week estimate. No movement whatsoever anywhere. No update on the Play store or otherwise. I'm livid.
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
lost order i think,

best to ring the google clowns up
[Nexus 4 General] gumbald:
Wow. Congratulations, you made it with your sanity just about intact!
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
congrate mate,

thats awesome news,
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
Glad to hear you finally got it. That was just ridiculous. As is the whole situation with everyone else waiting, but yours was much longer.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Congrats dude, you deserve it - spend some time with your new baby, then make sure they don't get away with what they've put you through.

ENJOY :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] headandneck:
thought I would post as I've been following this thread for a while and here's some good news to cheer you up

- Ordered on Dec 4th 17.14 (4-5 Weeks)

- Date in Play Store changed to January 2nd yesterday

- Recieved shipping email today at 12.33

Hope more of you get the same news today too!

Also - the TNT tracking number given to me by Google in the shipping email takes me through the TNT website and to a package that was delivered on 28th December. After a quick call to TNT it turns out they re-cycle consignment numbers so and so it's not worth checking them until tomorrow morning when the deliveries go out.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] jackalomg:
If this is true you made a lot of people around here very happy including me! It's F5 time!
[Nexus 4 General] rhymer2k:
What is your status in the play store? Pending or Preordered?
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
I ordered mine on Dec 13th on a 6-7 week delivery, and my date has change to Jan 2nd now. Just waiting for that shipping email! Status on the Play store is still 'Pre-Ordered' though.
[Nexus 4 General] headandneck:
"Shipped"
[Nexus 4 General] Exciliknite:
That's awesome news. Let's hope it's a massive shipment. My status is still "pre-ordered".
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Thanks for updating us mate!

Eeeeek give me my shipping mail already!!! :D
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
I know. I can't help but keep checking my email. Nice to see some progress after a month.
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Yeah me too, even though Gmail 1) Auto-updates and 2) goes straight to me phone! lol

And im STILL refreshing my Gmail for some luck!
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
So, it's not just me then :D Hoping for a shipping email today and then hopefully delivery before the weekend. But, realistically I think it will be into next week. (10th Dec - changed to 2nd Jan, showing pre-ordered)
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
It seems that the last few outstanding back orders are being cleared up. Around 30 members [25 being 1st post//new members] reported a change in Play Store status last night. The 16 gig model went on sale the 2nd time from Dec 4 and was eventually moved to 'Sold Out' status on the 13th, a period of 9 days compared to 30 MINUTES for the 1st launch.

Obviously XDA members don't cover all the nexus 4 orders but the thread has been a good indicator when trying to work out supply/demand status of the phone when coming into stock at the Play Store. Since the last batch of shipments went out - in time for Xmas delivery, the thread has reduced to just a trickle of posts - of those 30 posts yesterday only 13 members are waiting on orders from 7th - 13th Dec possibly suggesting that the bulk of enthusiasts ordering has peeked [I have been trying to keep an eye on the numbers to work out if the feeding frenzy had finished in time for me to place my order].

The last round of status changes on the 18-20th Dec was for over a 100 members !

I'm hoping that the phone will go on sale again within the next week !
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
It seems only one member here had a shipping email since the status change?
[Nexus 4 General] ivarth:
New member here....

Ordered 2x16Gb on 10th of December, had some problems with my wallet but the payment method was verified on the 12th of December.

Since then it has been on pending/pre-order, 6-7 weeks delivery.

Yesterday the date changed to 2nd January. I now wait anxiously for an shipping e-mail!
[Nexus 4 General] jackalomg:
Indeed that's strange. Should we get worried or what?
[Nexus 4 General] druggeduk:
That person ordered a lot earlier than many others that got the status update. I ordered a whole day after them so it makes sense that they're first.
[Nexus 4 General] lmr1342:
I'm gessing this is normal?

Your order has been sent to Google Commerce Ltd.

12 Dec Google Commerce Ltd received your order.

12 Dec You placed an order with Google Commerce Ltd on 12 Dec. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to************

and my play order changed to the 2nd yesterday
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
That's pretty much what I have, except I ordered on the 13th.

My Play order date was changed to the 2nd yesterday as well.
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
Yes mine reads the same, except for the dates being 10th Dec.
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
Same with me. I ordered on the 8th though. So the orders placed must have been few because we had the same delivery estimate. Should get confirmation soon.
[Nexus 4 General] Beedee2:
I ordered a Nexus 4 16GB on the 10th of december, and had my status changed yesterday in the play market to 2nd of january (still pre-ordered). Wallet status unchanged since december 11th. However, my credit card has not been charged yet. I am Dutch, using Borderlinx for delivery in the Netherlands.

Does anyone with a status change yesterdag or today have his credit card charged yet? Or does that only happen when they ship the order?
[Nexus 4 General] RomanosN:
Mine too, but shipping details from google support still states 16-1 as delivery date... what that means?
[Nexus 4 General] Ollie_D:
I ordered on 5th about 14:30 and have not had a data change in googleplay.

Is anyone else in this situation?
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
No, mine hasn't marked as shipped and I've not had a charge yet or a pending transaction on my credit card.
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
Just went through the Support process and received this email:

According to our records, your order should ship by the evening of January 30.

Neuxs 4 backorders: Please note that the above date is based on typical shipment processing and does not apply to Nexus 4 backorders. Nexus 4 backorders are being delivered based on the order in which they were received. If you receive a shipping confirmation email, then you will be able to track your delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
Yeah, the usual CS Bull****. I got the same email but my estimate is 23rd Jan.
[Nexus 4 General] GretaLewd:
Ordered on 5th at 18:55 uk time (10:55 utc). No status change since then :(
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
He ordered on the 4th, so a full day before me...

Here's hoping to a shipping mail in the next 24 hours! will keep you all posted...
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Try not to worry guys [yeah right] you are in a much better position than the other guy's. There aren't anywhere near as many of you waiting so you don't have to worry about there not being enough to go round when the shipping begins.

Also previously, when Google DID receive a fresh shipment - instead of sending them straight to the guys who had been waiting they put then up for sale meaning that loads missed out on getting what was rightfully theirs.

With the Xmas batch Google got it right and allocated them straight to the guys in waiting.

So you are in a great position as Google HAVE learned - at the expense of those before you.

Stay calm IT WILL HAPPEN :good:
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
Yeah. Just hope we all get shipping this week.
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
Can't wait myself,

I feel sorry for the people who ordered on the 4th and still haven't seen any progress
[Nexus 4 General] ralph78:
Just got the email from Google support, basically just usual bull....t.

Ordered at 4th Dec 18:28, still pre-order at Google play.

[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
Actually, I've seen no one that knows what it means when your date 'updates', except that in the past an updated date in the play store seemed to be related to the order shipping in the night after. Last night only one order was shipped, so it seems this time it's different. Here's to hoping tonight the orders will go out :)
[Nexus 4 General] rhymer2k:
I honestly just think it means that these orders that have changed dates will be processed next. When we get our shipping emails just depends on when the next batch of stock comes in (if it has not already), when our orders have stock allocated (hopefully in order that they were received), and when the distribution company hands our phones to TNT. For my order which was on the 6th with 5-6 weeks quoted, this could happen tomorrow (hopefully), or in a week.

Only my opinion, which is why I'm going to be patient and be more productive with my time as opposed to constantly refreshing everything. :)
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
you feel sorry for them but we might find ourselves in the same position! Nothing states that 5th Dec orders will be processed in the estimated time.
[Nexus 4 General] druggeduk:
To be fair, when does any retailer confirm your order will be processed in the time estimated? You just take it for granted that it will - you only complain when it turns out it doesn't get dispatched on time.

We're only worrying because of all the troubles others have had before us... The whole situation has got everyone pre-emptively complaining! :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] nabir:
Ordered on the 4th, Play Store updated to Jan 2nd. Waiting on that shipping email :D
[Nexus 4 General] daffyduck2602:
My best guess to what's happening, is that Google are going to send out a large batch..... Found this thread on XDA about working out units produced.

Thread here:

Ok, here is the production rate update with fresh data gathered from a LG webservice:

So, they did produce at least 70K devices in October, 90K in November and 210K in December, still counting (just 16G devices).

Not bad, now as christmas orders are completed google and LG are really ramping up the production.

[Nexus 4 General] doubleluckstur:
Well I was a lucky 1-2 weeker that received an unlucky broken device, and my replacement device has just updated to Jan 2nd so I'm guessing it's coming with the 5-6 week batch. This is exactly what happened to us 1-2 weekers, 3 days later we all got shipping emails. So hopefully we'll all have Nexus 4's by Monday or Tuesday :D
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
Yeah right, I haven't seen any movement at all. I don't expect anything movement till next week

Its the 4th week for me today, no movement :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] ivarth:
My status changed two days ago to 2nd of January, no shipping e-mail yet...

*twiddling thumbs*
[Nexus 4 General] doubleluckstur:
At the end of the day you'll either get it within the time quoted (which is highly likely) or you can claim a refund on your shipping. It'll come, don't worry :)

I'm just speaking on past experience that once it is updated in the play store list it usually comes within 5 days
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
That hasn't made the wait any easier!! lol its gonna be a loooooong weekend......
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
Same here. Its not that much about the wait but its extreamly hard seeing orders that were placed after ours having date changes.

If I had not know about the date changes of their orders I would have just waited for my estimated date. I'm hoping for next week now.

The other problem is that Google may start selling the device again next week which makes it more difficult to see.
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
Likewise, when I ordered mine I said to myself that I'd have no problem waiting the 5-6 weeks for it. I lied. Every email that comes in to the phone now is checked instantly just in case it's a shipping notification.

I recognise that Google should, based on what's happening, deliver mine within the time-scale promised, but I'd really like it now.

On an aside, noticed you're device history Galaxy S3 with a fried motherboard. Have you seen this about a firmware update to fix this?
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Thanks for showing me that, to be fair my phones been "sent away" for repair and has been nearly 3 weeks so starting to get a bit pissed!

As mine was completely dead and would not turn on at all, a firmware update would not have been possible!

My plan, they replace the S3, i get the N4 first, and sell the brand new S3 for more than i paid for the N4!

One can only hope....

Oh, I feel your pain with the emails, its a glimmer of hope every time i receive one, to be let down when i check!!
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
I agree it is a bit annoying seeing others order after me have the date change but oh well. As long as it arrives before the 23rd.
[Nexus 4 General] lmr1342:
Good news

I just got off the phone with Google and the guy was saying if your order day changed to the 2nd of januray or changed in general in the play store they have your devise it takes about 7 working days to send to the courier "TNT" so I'm gessing we will have it about in about 2 weeks :D
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Ahh sounds good to me!!!

Thanks for sharing that with us :)

Well if the majority of us here had a date change 2-3 days ago, we should hopefully see shipping mails this weekend or early this week!!

Mon the Nexii

well i have received the case today, no phone yet :(

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/380539380561

case looks awesome, the shape & size of the case feels so good, wish i had the phone
[Nexus 4 General] headandneck:
Well, considering my excitement when I recieved my shipping e-mail, things have unravelled

- Google sent me the "Your order has been shipped" email on January 3rd

- Turns out my order was actually shipped on December 27th

- The order was delivered "sucessfully" to my address on December 28th

- The order was signed for by someone called "Delanay"

Problem is, no one was at home in my house that day. And no one in my family is called Delanay.

TNT say it was delivered to my address and they would have recorded it if it was left with a neighbour. I checked with my neighbours and none of them have received anything.

So now no one knows where it is.

Suppose I'll have to go about getting a refund, which is annoying
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Ive ordered this case.....

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330843533...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Not down yet, not even sure if i want to hide the beauty of the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
That sucks man, really sorry to hear that.
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
looks good, i just dont like the uncovered top and bottom,

just my personal pref though
[Nexus 4 General] hhd7247:
sorry to hear that. It's quite odd to have the delivery earlier than Google's shipping email.
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
That really sucks man, sorry to hear that.
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Absolutely guttered about that mate, I would be kicking up a storm about it!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time.... :(
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Certainly looks different and nice. Does it actually cover the front - it doesn't look like it does from the pics or is it meant to be more of a bumper on the front ?

At £1:69 I'm not sure I'd trust it to protect it from too much ;)
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
Just to clarify, did you confirm that the address that TNT are referring to is actually the address that you are having the phone delivered to? TNT re-use consignment numbers and fairly soon by the sounds of it from other posts. Is it possible that the tracking information is referring to the previous shipment with that number? I understand that the day after the Shipment email is sent the details should be correct for your order.
[Nexus 4 General] headandneck:
That's what I thought but the delivery on December 28th was, according to TNT, made to my address and the dispatcher was Google.

Some of the early orders received after December 4th arrived without any shipping emails at all.

Unless their system is getting mixed up because of them re-using numbers, but I find that quite hard to believe as its a fairly crucial part of their business.

Anyway, TNT seem to be on it in terms of trying to find out where it went. And, after all, it's only a phone, so I can wait. Just a shame that TNT and Google's supply issues have had a negative effect on the launch of this device
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
What a ****about !

Sounds like another thieving driver has had that away m8. Its the only way he could steal it once its on the van officially - he can't say it wasn't as it was scanned so he has to say it was delivered.
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
doesnt protect the front, i need screen protector lol

i like these type of cases anyway, been using them on my sensation for ages, like 18 months but i have cracked the digitizer on that once :(
[Nexus 4 General] musclegym:
I bought this one:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leather-C...476&pid=100015&prg=1006&rk=1&sd=360528419528&

but no phone yet :(
[Nexus 4 General] jackalomg:
Until official LG bumper comes in stock this will be my case poetic bumper and Spigen screen and back protector
[Nexus 4 General] headandneck:
Well, there's always that. Apparently they're going to question him this evening when he gets in and ask where he delivered it, then let me know what he says in the morning. Innocent until proven guilty and all that.

Wouldn't be that big a deal if it was easy to get hold of another one I suppose
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Google should be giving you one out of their RMA stock because thats an absolute piss take.
[Nexus 4 General] singhsinghy:
So I've just checked the status of my Nexus order on the play store and under 'Date' its changed to 2nd of Jan and the status is annoyingly STILL 'Pre-order' even though my original date of order was 5th of Dec. I don't know what to expect now! RAWR! Should I be angry? Lol
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
I wouldn't worry too much, my status is still Pre-ordered, and my date changed. Hopefully we'll get our shipping notices soon enough!
[Nexus 4 General] Dav_prime:
Got mine yesterday after delaying delivery over the holidays. Great device! Very happy.

Found my eBay accessories to be ok but not perfect.

The cheap screen protector covers the light sensor, which causes the phone to shut the screen off when calling. Had to force shut down to regain control. This has since been fixed with scissors.

The swave gel cover fits nice but us a tad harder then I expected. The transparent one looks a tad odd at the back where some sticks to the glass and some doesn't.looks a bit like a poorly applied screen protector. I will try to remove any grease or contamination from the case with methylated sprits and polish the glass with a lens tissue and see what happens.
[Nexus 4 General] singhsinghy:
i hope so too buddy. fingers crossed
[Nexus 4 General] hhd7247:
LG, google and TNT have made a lot of mistakes during these few months. Lots of complains online. Anyway hope your problem will be solved soon.
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
No change here since the 2nd of Jan.

Still pending in wallet and pre-order in play.

I hope we have it sometime next week ! can't wait.

Is there anything we should do when we first get it? I'm not sure if I'll root straight away .... and really hope all the defects have been ironed out. I was checking out the battery thread and someone posted that the newer devices seem to have longer battery life. Anyone heard anything about this?

[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
As of January 2nd, wallet info shows as complete for me. Play store shows as shipped. Email received on Jan 2 from Google shows a "link" to follow tracking but it only takes me to google search for some random company. Credit card was also charged on Jan 2. So far no other news, haven't received phone or TNT email.

As far as accessories, I purchased this Clear Case. . Pictures and personal review on this page .

I also purchased this back and screen protectors. I received these yesterday but I haven't opened the package. Can't test quality or fit just yet.

The screen protector is well worth the money, ensure whatever surface your on is super clean no lint or fluff, be liberal with the water and get rid of the bubbles on first application.
