i'm starting to wonder if there is a difference between the T-Mobile version and the Unlocked version on the Play store. the Play Store definitely knows im using tmobiles version because when i use the website to install apps, and i select my device, it clearly states T-Mobile LGE Nexus 4. i wonder what it says for the unlocked versions.
[Nexus 4 General] XiaoSiuMai:
Does any still see the nexus 4 as an option for upgrade from the tmo website? I still their new phones like 8x and lumia 810 but no nexus 4
[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
when searching on tmobile, select "google" on the left side. Not "LG"
[Nexus 4 General] hello00:
the only difference is the price both play store and tmobile version the phone comes unlocked
[Nexus 4 General] XiaoSiuMai:
Don't see it. Don't even have Google as an option for manufactures. Guess employee Accounts are a bit different
[Nexus 4 General] reddv1:
My Galaxy Nexus that I bought from the play store was listed as a T-Mobile Galaxy Nexus on the website too. I doubt there is a difference between the two.
[Nexus 4 General] norazi:
thats not relevant.. back in the iphone 2G days, i had an unlocked iphone 2G on tmobile and they detected that... my galaxy nexus was from Japan (NTT Docomo version) and that was detected too... i think there is a global IMEI block reference that carriers use, ie: 10000XXXX is A phone and 20000XXXX is B phone
[Nexus 4 General] claud_face:
Got one ordered from Google . But decided if I could get upgraded through tmobile would be worth it.

They let me early upgrade five months early and its on its way!! For 215 compared to 396 I think its worth it.

Its a old old family plan that gives us a great price.
[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
place the order over the phone if you don't see it on the website
[Nexus 4 General] ceroglu:
Does anyone knows if tethering works? I am curious to know if both usb and wireless tethering integrated in the system. And hopefully t-mobile didn't block this somehow. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] XiaoSiuMai:
Thank I tried but employee upgrades can't be done over the phone only website. So I tuess I gotta wait til it's available for us :(
[Nexus 4 General] reddv1:
They both work, I answered someone a few pages back. I've been tethering on T-Mobile for years and never had a problem.
[Nexus 4 General] egon27:
Do you have the address or phone number?
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
In manhattan have a few stores with stock!
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
indeed. those were the first few things i tried after i got it all setup. works perfectly.
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
Received a text they are back ordered with no details! Haven't seen any email...

Google and T-Mobile are hilarious for this launch!
[Nexus 4 General] xxMAGICxx:
I GOT THE SAME EXACT THING. WTF. :banghead:

sorry for the caps..
[Nexus 4 General] fullmetal2k:
where in manhattan, I'm thinking of just getting someone to get it for me with a contract under their name and just cancel the contract within 30 days and just pay for the cancelation fee which is $200 if not mistaken, so thats still $100 less than what they are asking
[Nexus 4 General] rdubbs007:
TMobile has a 30 day return policy on their phones. So since google fcuked us all and oversold and wont have any shipped for another 3 weeks, go to tmo and buy a nexus off contract and take it back before the timeframe is up. Simple.
[Nexus 4 General] fullmetal2k:
so u saying keep my backorder, go to tmobile and get the phone on contract and return it before the 30th day when I receive my backorder phone from google? do they refund ur money with no questions ask? or do they put you to jump hoops around them?
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
Just checked my order status online and it now says Shipped UPS and has a tracking number! :)
[Nexus 4 General] sassyness77:
Same here actually! Hopefully its not a mistake! :)
[Nexus 4 General] xxMAGICxx:
Really? Did you check it on my T-Mobile or UPS?

Waiting on a back ordered Nexus4.
[Nexus 4 General] sassyness77:
Checked in my T-Mobile. Then it links to UPS with the tracking number. It says ups cannot locate shipment now, please try again later so I'm not entirely sure. But everything I've ever shipped takes a while for tracking to appear so I'm being optimistic! :)
[Nexus 4 General] maserdotcom:
I just got my nexus 4 today i did a partial upgrade and it came to 435 and the phone is great but if you coming from a galaxy s lll screen is going to look very different got to get used to it
[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
Mine says the same thing. Just check a few minutes ago. It got me really excited.

I noticed that it still says the expected delivery is on the 22nd from the tmobile site. But ups doesnt deliver on thanksgiving.

I hope the tracking gets updated tomorrow with an earlier delivery date
[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:
You would have to pay a $50 restocking fee. And as others are saying they might force you to buy a prepaid plan to get the phone off contract.
[Nexus 4 General] aimfire72:
Bought mine at T-Mobile store, full retail price. They didn't even try to sell me on a Tmob plan. Walked in & out, was easy transaction. :)
[Nexus 4 General] xl DIGITAL lx:
Mine has been marked shipped as well. Checked through the T-Mobile website. Anyone know if any T-Mobile stores will carry cases and other accessories for this phone?
[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
all i know is that tmobile is not going to carry the official bumper or orb

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

my tracking number for UPS just updated to this:

"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."
[Nexus 4 General] kisrita:
The above is wrong. I have been using that plan with my unlocked Galaxy Nexus since May. If I upgraded to the Nexus 4, I would simply trim the SIM card and pop it into the new phone and it would continue to work. It will also work with ANY other GSM sim too! I occasionally take the AT&T sim from my work blackberry and put it in the Nexus and it also works. These phones are great because they are unlocked AND they are pentaband so work anywhere in the world, unlike other unlocked gsm phones. And HSPA+ speeds on Tmobile are fast enough to stream HD video, so this plan is a steal!

All you have to do is order a new tmobile sim from their Internet site, and activate it as a new account. The $30 plan is for new customers only.

Edit: you will have to trim the SIM card, unless you can order a micro sim without signing up to any plan. The key is a new sim, with no plan.

Edit 2: link to this plan in the galaxy nexus forum:

[Nexus 4 General] sahil kaul:
My sister will be travelling to Europe in December and she really wants to buy this phone! Will tmobile verson work there? Or is waiting for the Play store version be better? Any thoughts?
[Nexus 4 General] svengalis:
It's the exact same phone.
[Nexus 4 General] sahil kaul:
TY for the info! Just to be clear, switching carrier is possible on this one too. right?
[Nexus 4 General] vivanshah:
Yes. Exact same phone.
[Nexus 4 General] TopazUser1:
I ordered mine at 9am yesterday. I received an email this morning that it was back ordered.

I just checked my t-mobile account and it says shipped with a tracking number. I'm trying not get excited here so I wont believe it until it is in my hands.
[Nexus 4 General] kanariya:
I ordered a second n4 for my friend.

Got a msg said it was backordered this morning.

Just checked the order status and its shipped.

Arriving 11/20 wow.

And mine that i ordered from Google play is arriving tomorrow :D

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 4 General] TopazUser1:
that makes 2 of us. yea! hi five! :highfive: lol
[Nexus 4 General] jekyoo_style:
Ordered on 11/15/12 around 11pm, initially backordered but just received info that it's arriving on 11/19 :) Damnit, I should have splurged and gotten express shipping :(
[Nexus 4 General] aznminivan:
I got a tracking number too. So google wouldnt make shipping labels from ups if they didnt actually have the phone to ship would they? I'm trying not to get my hopes up but it would only make sense to create shipping labels for something youre actually ready to ship.
[Nexus 4 General] xl DIGITAL lx:
You should get your hopes up, mine just shipped from Kentucky :)
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
Someone knows how to buy a nexus 4 on tmobile.com without a plan???

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
i think so....but all the stores near me didn get it,thank you!
[Nexus 4 General] vivanshah:
Awesome!! Ordered yesterday at 3pm and it's out for delivery today :)
[Nexus 4 General] bjg020683:
Will the phone be unlocked if you buy off contract at sprint?

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

[Nexus 4 General] sassyness77:
Mine will be here Monday! I got overnight delivery but it shows UPS ground...weird...but just happy it will be here! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
Mine is in transit as well. Will be here Tuesday!
[Nexus 4 General] runningwarrior08:
Yes if you buy it from T mobile you are buying the same phone at a higher margin(still better than ebay pricing). From what I understand there is no bloat or anything on the T mobile version. So you are buying the exact same phone but if the store has it you get it instantly.
[Nexus 4 General] Jorsher:
Ordered mine with UPS Ground shipping by accident on Wednesday. Arrived yesterday. Lovin' it.
[Nexus 4 General] xxMAGICxx:
Finally got a tracking number...it should be here when I get back from school!:D

[Nexus 4 General] radlink14:
Can you give me the number to the store please? I thought I called a store in north hollywood and they said they didn't have any.
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
Me too! Received a text msg from tmob that it has been shipped!! Can't wait :)
[Nexus 4 General] juventuss:
So it looks like Google is finally catching up. Good. Hopefully they find a way of fixing their launch day ordering process.
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
No, Google is still lost. This thread is about T-Mobile USA follow up.

[Nexus 4 General] haze_nme:
I drove 200 miles to the San Tan Village T-Mobile store in Gilbert AZ to purchase the last Nexus 4 in AZ. They were the only store in AZ to get the phone and they only got 5. There are unconfirmed rumors that they will be getting more on the 19th or 20th. If you are in the Phoenix, AZ area and want to get one from a T-Mobile store, call them on Monday and see if they have a new shipment.

[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
it does appear that people are seeing a shipping origin from Lexington, KY regardless of purchase medium (google or tmobile) so this may be google catching up as well ... not sure though
[Nexus 4 General] vivanshah:
many companies (google and t-mobile included) have warehouses in Lexington, KY because of a large UPS distribution center there.
[Nexus 4 General] Henrock11:
I went to a tmobile store in NYC ( coming from NJ) and found the one and only nexus 4 for miles. Im on a value plan and brought my galaxy nexus to T-Mobile and signed a two year contract.

At the time of activation I was told that I can still receive a phone at the discount price at a later date. Now today they tell me that they can't find the upgrade or activation in the system for me. It sux I was so close to having the phone.:mad:
[Nexus 4 General] jekyoo_style:
Does anyone know if a contracted Nexus 4 through T-Mobile comes locked or unlocked? Used my girlfriends upgrade to get it but I want to use it but I'm on AT&T.
[Nexus 4 General] hello00:
comes unlocked
[Nexus 4 General] jsapp:
Thought I was bad driving 60 miles to buy the last one at one of 2 Colorado stores that got them in.
[Nexus 4 General] xxMAGICxx:
I got mine....holy moly this device is a beast. :D
[Nexus 4 General] dillym34:
That's where I got mine lol, got the first one. Only drove 6 miles though.
[Nexus 4 General] unlvmike:
200 miles. That is dedication haha. I ordered mine the first day overnight and got it yesterday. Absolute beast and gorgeous phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Gilgamesh12:
So the nexus for cost $200 with a contract plus $15 a month?
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
if you are on value plan, yes. I'm on classic so just straight up 200 with 50 dollar mail in rebate. beautiful phone for 150!
[Nexus 4 General] XupModz:
My micro sim was free sim replacements have always been free :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:
Did you get it for $199 on a Classic Plan? Let me know if it is unlocked and you are able to use it on AT&T please. When I got mine the guy told me it was locked on T-Mobile and that in 3 months I would be able to call Customer Service to have it unlocked using a code. I found this as a shock because I thought all Nexus 4s came unlocked whether through Google or T-Mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] xl DIGITAL lx:
Rebate? I bought it through Customer Service and they didn't tell me about any rebate. Is the rebate form online? Or is there a special code? Thanks. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] TopazUser1:
Ordered mine wednesday at 9am from tmobile online. I now have the nexus in my hands... Im off to play with my shinny new toy. ps. the phone feels slim in the hands. i thought it looked like a brick online but its surprisingly slim.
[Nexus 4 General] eleeo037037:
I ordered the Nexus 4 last night around 8 pm so today I called the tmo and spoke with a representative to check the status on my order. She told me the phone had already been shipped and gave me the tracking number. Phone is expected to arrive 11/21. Way sooner than I expected.

Question: I read a few people saying that the Tmobile version should be unlocked but can anyone actually confirm that. Has anyone tried to insert a AT&T micro sim in the Nexus 4 Tmobile version? Thank you in advance
[Nexus 4 General] dmexs:
I tried my friend's AT&T iPhone 4 sim in two different T-Mobile Nexus 4's so far (one on contract, and one bought for $499) and both have worked fine; voice and data worked well. I will note that I wasn't able to get the SpeedTest to work. I was able to stream YouTube though and page loads were fine, so I'm guessing it was just some sort of network bug..? I'll try again with another AT&T sim. Any other reports?
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
I dunno I got mine in person. they printed out the form and gave it to me with my receipt.
[Nexus 4 General] Net.silb:
Hi guys,

Does anybody know what T-Mobile stores in New York City are selling Nexus 4s, if any?

I would like to get an off-contract 16GB Nexus 4 for 500$.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
Has anyone purchased the micro sim adapter from T-Mobile or any adapter for that matter? I went in to T-Mobile to get a micro sim thinking I could just take it and go and call 611 to activate it when my N4 comes but they didn't have micro sims.....so what he did was cut my regular sim, I bought the adapter because I have 5 phones that take regular sims that I still plan on switching back and forth from....only the adapter was garbage! It got stuck going in my GNex and they had a really hard time taking it out once I told them "forget it, I'll deal with it when the N4 comes".

So my question is, what do you guys plan on doing if you use other phones that take regular sim cards? Has anyone bought a decent adapter? Anybody know a good one? Amazon doesn't really have 1 that has good reviews. Thanks! :)
[Nexus 4 General] minh808:
Take the old outer cut part of the sim and file it down a bit makes a perfect adapter.
[Nexus 4 General] dirtyhamster73:
I actually just read about this from another forum member! Brilliant idea! Thanks so much!
[Nexus 4 General] alegf:
I searched all over Manhattan and have founded only on two stores. Both refused to sell me the phone off contract.
[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
Not that I know of. Every Tmobile in staten island deos not have them and most of central jersey doesnt have. The Tmo in east brunswick had on day one but got sold out quickly.

Most tmobile stores are supposed to get them by the 22nd (thanksgiving)

jamming in tampa

If you order a Nexus 4 from T Mobile for 199.00 and cancel how much are you out if you keep the phone anyone know? I'm gonna tell them I dropped it into the toilet

Also I dropped my micro simple from at&T in and wamo no problems running nexus 4 on gsm hspa+ in Tampa lightning fast
[Nexus 4 General] FatalityBoyZahy:
I'm in Central NJ, have you guys tried checking out any of the malls over here?
[Nexus 4 General] fullmetal2k:
I know that here in 173rd St and Saint Nicholas you can get one but they will force you to get a pre-paid plan so the min, would be a $30 plan

my total was $577
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
phone+first month service+eta fee. so 254+200+70ish.
[Nexus 4 General] cman6453:
I'm using a nano sim with an adapter. Works fine for me also except for the speed test as well. Not sure what's up with that. I tried changing the APN settings but that completely wiped out network connectivity.

Can I go to a T-Mobile store and get a micro sim card for free? Hearing different experiences
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
I got it for free last week I went in. But then the employee made some comment about charging me $20 next time -__- ?
[Nexus 4 General] dieselfatal:
I got my N4 from T-Mo store and the return/exchange policy is 14 days.
[Nexus 4 General] cman6453:
30 days for CA peeps. :o

For you guys that are thinking to buy off-contract its 500+Prepaid cart 50U$+Tax=598U$

i was shocked in the store....i just buy et cause i drove two hours to buy this!
[Nexus 4 General] jekyoo_style:
DId T-mobile remove the Nexus 4 from their website? Trying to upgrade another line on my plan but the Nexus 4 isn't even listed.
[Nexus 4 General] ruthlesset:
I called T-mobile customer service and they sent me one for free. Last time I went to the store, they charged me $10 for a sim.
[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
I noticed this occurred after their site was down for "maintenance"
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I saw the nex 4 available with the contract only on their site.

With regards to the micro sim, I orders mine of the site days ago for .99 cents. They shipped it with in 2 days. B it is the micro sim activation kit.

Note all I need is phone. I am switching from some mobile to t mob $30 plan. Simple mobile wanted to charge me $26 for a micro sim. That is how they get people to stay? Unbelievable...

Search for nexus 4...is there!
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
Click the option to see all phones on one page and then the Nexus 4 should be near the bottom. It wouldn't show up for me until I did that. I was trying to narrow it down to Android and LG at first but for some reason it didn't show up, even when I only specified for Android.
[Nexus 4 General] marsupial99:
Hello All

About to get my N4 delivered today. I've read on another thread someone reporting that picture messaging does not work on N4 on TMO. Hard to believe that but has anybody been able to send and receive MMS with their N4 on TMO? Thanks in advance for your response(s).
[Nexus 4 General] adamhlj:
I'm curious if anyone has the unlimited 4G plan and can still tether to a computer or tablet with this device. Can anyone answer that?
[Nexus 4 General] tariqgibran:
I have the original Android Unlimited option within a Fav Fives 1000 minute family plan. Received my 16GB Nexus 4 from TMobile Friday and the first thing I checked was to make sure I still could use the wireless tether/ hot spot feature with my laptops. No problem! I'm guessing I must be grandfathered into the feature as I'm sure it was included with the original Android Unlimited which I used with the Nexus One.
[Nexus 4 General] Wannagotopopeyes:
hey guys, has anyone been able to buy this phone online on Friday 11/16 (or later) with a 2-year upgrade? I am trying to buy it online for $199 with a contract extension but I can't upgrade to it.... I can only add it to my cart with a "new 2-year plan" as a new customer.... Shouldn't I be able to upgrade to this phone? I am eligible for an upgrade online. I also have the classic plan (not value)
[Nexus 4 General] runningwarrior08:
The nexus is unlocked meaning it has the original tether feature from android. This means that it will always be unlocked on your phone with no need to root. This does not mean you not incur more charges from your wireless carrier.

Be safe and don't abuse it and you may be fine otherwise they may "As a favor" add tethering to your plan for you. Or just shut off your data.
[Nexus 4 General] Wannagotopopeyes:
I can't seem to get this to work... I thought maybe it was because the phone is out of stock or something, but it lets you add it to cart as a new customer? Just not upgrade?

I guess it could also have to do with what plan I have (Classic unlimited talk+text), but my account says I'm eligible for an upgrade....do you have the value plan?
[Nexus 4 General] coolmen777:
T-zones confirmation

I believe someone on Howard Forums already did... see this discussion. So far, so good. Will keep an eye on it as well (got the same grandfathered plan).
[Nexus 4 General] stealthj:
Expansys sells a good one for about 5 bucks...
[Nexus 4 General] norazi:
i can confirm that my $2.99/month unlimited 4G plan (tzones) works with the nexus 4.... i dont know if they will block the IMEI in the future (it took about a year for the Nexus One and Nexus S to get blocked) but I can confirm that as of now, it works great! getting about 15mbit/sec
[Nexus 4 General] richardmkovach:
I have been dealing with the same issue since Friday, I must have called at least 3 times a day. Every representative claims it is not yet on their upgrade form and then some tell me I should be able to do it online. I try to do it online but it is not there to select, it is there however if I pretend to add a line or pretend to be a new customer. With that in mind it seems as though they are holding their current stock for new lines and customers only, most likely to to low stock. None of the representatives have confirmed this exactly but it is the only thing that really makes sense to me.
[Nexus 4 General] sassyness77:
It took me 6 phone calls to even get someone who knew what it was I wanted to order for an upgrade. Although I did order the 14th and I have noticed the site not letting me ad the nexus for an upgrade on a different line. Also on a weird note, mine was supposed ly backorder but shipped out the next day to me which I still don't understand. But I'm using it now and love this phone.

My findings are-

No protective film on the bezel of the phone like seen in other threads and videos

T mobile shipped the micro Sim to me and I had to call in and have then reset it on their side after I shut it off so I could get data once again with the new Sim

Everything is else is good :)
