Wohoo!

Parcel Motel just deducted from my account, that means the phone has arrived in their warehouse in Northern Ireland.

They'll ship it from there down to me in Dublin tonight.

BTW I DIDN'T GET ANY SHIPPING INFO/EMAIL FROM GOOGLE.

I'll let you know when it arrives.
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Didn't have any shipping emails. And... no presents awaiting me at home. D'oh
[Nexus 4 General] fluent1:
Can''t see how that would be illegal.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Is this new, or it was like this before the 13th...i mean before the 1st launch?
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Nice sig.
[Nexus 4 General] monkfish_lad:
Just received my two N4's without any shipping notification. No bumpers and no explanation on when they are going to arrive. Play store still stays pending on both my N4 and Bumper order and nothing showing any payment has been taken on my bank statement. Don't know if I should complain about the randomness and the lack of communication but at least it's here......finally. (And its a lovely bit of tech!)
[Nexus 4 General] ChrisJ:
TNT have just arrived. ~7pm. I'd almost given up for the day.

Off to play now.

TNT have "lost" my N4.... :banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Why did you spend £350 on that... you could have paid £29 for a 16GB.
[Nexus 4 General] pkrboo:
Wife just rang and told me I have a nice parcel waiting for me when I get home, no shipping email at all.

Haven't checked my orders but am guessing it will show as pending as the whole order hasn't been full filled

Am I the only person still waiting on a package from the 13th then?
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Surely there wont be stock? I would of thought that google would make an annoucement like they did for the US (round 2)
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
My USB port is messed up, I'm really hoping they release that wireless charger soon..
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Look how that panned out, surely doing it quietly they have a chance of the store not failing as badly, it's not like they've told anyone anything as it develops here anyway

Dunno if this is old news yet but Spain and Canada play stores are both showing back in stock.

(A long with the USA of course)

The Nexus 4 is still SOLD OUT in Canada.

The website N4Checker doesn't work.
[Nexus 4 General] Deeco7:
Search next time, and easy with the Attitude!
[Nexus 4 General] Nolimits316:
Same with the Spainish one, when I saw it was in stock on the n4 checker first thing I did was check vyt it was still off sale.
[Nexus 4 General] Anon87:
"Spain & Canada, sorry for the false alert" :o
[Nexus 4 General] :
I think they are doing something getting ready to go back on sale.

Me and a few other in this thread saw alot of change on the UK page today. Got about 5 page change notifications with in 10 minutes of each other earlier.

Im guessing they have done similar change to the other play stores which has broken n4checker website.

My guess is we will see them back on say on Monday. (leaving tomorrow to send out the final ones left on back order)

Did anyone else's page monitor blip or was it just me. I got a google play error page. Refreshed it quickly and it came back so can't remember what it even said.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Yeah i did.

They removed 'Totally wireless' section and then put it back on a few seconds later.

No idea what Google are up to now.
[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
Me too, wonder what they've changed?
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Its at least on-topic which is stock, not off-topic, rom issues
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
I asked to change to a microSIM from Tesco a week before N4 fiasco day, they sent it to me, and I'm using it in my N1 with a micro2mini adapter, only problem is I didn't manage to order an N4 yet, I'm on SIM only BTW.

It took half a dozen emails back and forth to Tesco customer services as some of their staff were being a bit dopey, but it got sorted, I didn't mention *what* phone I was changing from or to, that's for me to know and them to wonder :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
I called Tesco on Saturday and said "i need a micro sim", the woman was really friendly and sorted everything out in under 5 minutes, SIM arrived on Tuesday and worked a great, my only downside was that my old SIM was shut off before I was even awake and i had to go to work before the postie arrived so was without a phone for the day. Luckily I shoved the o2 SIM in for the day but it was annoying
[Nexus 4 General] rogueblade:
My replacement sim from t-mobile is like a dual normal sim with micro sim in it already half cut out. Is this normal? Pretty cool, first time ive seen it
[Nexus 4 General] LenAsh:
Err.. yes.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Seems to be normal now, I'd never seen it but both my o2 or and replacement tesco one were like it. If your careful when removing the micro SIM you can use the rest as an adaptor, my o2 contract one is in my old o2x awaiting TV information using this technique
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
Lets hope anyone that's crying about Google's servers being unable to cope, or buying a Nexus 4 is a disaster, isn't using one of those stock checking apps, as clearly they are part of the problem, and is so, they would be hypocrites...
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Is anyone else from LL3 still waiting for their device?
[Nexus 4 General] majo_scigo:
Yes. And this is my saga.

Received email with tracking number for delivery

Today

9am: Called TNT depot for ETA of the driver (as i was not home to sign). I was told to call back in 15 minutes

9:20 Was told to call in half an hour

10am I was told the driver will arrive after 2pm

2:40pm brought my wife home, no card (Yeesssss) and went back to work

3,4,5pm no change on tracking website

5:58pm rung depot to ask about the device and was told: " don't worry it will be delivered today"

7pm called main number to see where the hell the phone is and was told that at 1:54pm driver for my area reported to depot that he doesn't have a parcel for me.

I was given two options. Delivery to my address tomorrow or maybe Saturday. No option to deliver somewhere else.

I complained and was transferred to a supervisor. I told her that I need it delivered by 8 am tomorrow, but no chance. She said she will call me in 30 minutes with the options

7:30pm call from the supervisor telling me that they will get a driver within 90 minutes and then deliver the item (1 hour drive from depot)

9pm call from depot to say, driver is on its way and will be with me at 11:30pm

11pm call from driver that he is in fact on his way but he was stuck and if it is ok to deliver at 00:30am

So in 20 minutes or so he should be finally HERE.

TNT big big fail even bigger than Google

00:49 GOOGLE NEXUS 4 is here
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Wow.. I didn't even know that TNT delivered after 6pm. Good luck!

I called TNT to request a saturday re-delivery, and the lady told me the arrangement Google had with them was for monday-friday deliveries only, and that I'd need to speak to Google to upgrade! So I'm just gonna pick it up myself at the depot. SMH
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Good luck m8

Ps, Your story sounds very similar to mine whenever I'm expecting important delivery :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] majo_scigo:
I didn't but I do now. I spoke to TNT and Google bought cheapest delivery charging us £9.99 (i should get it refunded) They can't change the address or time or anything.

I would pick up myself but it is over an hour drive for me, so I said sorry. I want it delivered.

Btw. The driver is not here yet.
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
Yep they did that to me too, seems a questionable policy, I complained that they'd left me without service for most of a day, but they didn't even reply ...

Carphone warehouse stock

Hi guys just to let u know I got myself the nexus 4 from cpw instore and when I went to open it I found the seals had already been broken and the phone had mucky fingerprints all over it ! I rushed back to the shop and immediately informed them ,not a happy bunny ! So they tell me it's policy that they open the phone to check its working ( yeah right ) I told them that I was not going to accept that and I would like a sealed one, they gave me some bull about it not being covered if I left the shop without checking the new one ???? So I walked out even after the guy told me to check it works, liars ! All fine as regards to new phone but I think they were using the first phone as show phone when people wanted to look before they made a purchase !!!! Cpw = crap ..
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Is it any wonder that the high street shops are closing down all over, when then treat customers like this.

I remember trying to buy the Galaxy nexus from p4u sim free & all the drivel they gave me - God I hate that company & all it stands for.
[Nexus 4 General] nk7600:
Yeah, that's the reason why I hate CPW & will only buy from them online. People ask to have a look at the fones, play around with them & then decide they don't want them. Then the sales assistant puts it back in the packaging & then resales it as new at a later date!. I think most fone shops do this but make sure when buying a fone that they bring out the box without the seal broken. You have a returns policy anyway with CPW or see it as experience?.

Its the same with console games though... I will only ever buy games that are sealed.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
3UK to stock N4
[Nexus 4 General] :
Last week just called, it wants it's news back.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:

[Nexus 4 General] SreePillai:
i'll prob give google another week or so to stock up..if not then i'll be heading to carphone warehouse..just means i'll have to pull in a few more overtime shifts :) but i think it'll be worth it.
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Be nice to know if mine has actually shipped or not. I'm guessing it has judging by comments in here yesterday. But without a tracking number it's tough to determine what's going on.

Emailed Google last night but yet to hear anything. Will chase it up at lunchtime if I don't hear beforehand.
[Nexus 4 General] Stretlow:
I had this problem with my Gnex with phones4u, they are sent demo models and should NOT be opening boxes, never accept a phone thats been opened (unless you can negotiate money of of course)
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
In the same boat as you :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] Nathanation:
Obviously Car phone warehouse sound rubbish but how much did the phone cost?

I'm getting bored of waiting for Google!

Sent from my HTC Evo 3D Jellybean.
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
Should be £389.95 as per their website for the black 16GB version - plus £3 cashback from Quidco when you buy online. I can also confirm that the phone shows 'Available' on CPW website today morning. Last evening, it had changed to 'Pre-Order, Stock arriving soon'.
[Nexus 4 General] ooshy:
389.00 so I paid a premium for a 16 gb !
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
£389.95 basically an extra £100 quidco gets £3 cashback.

Mine should arrive today overnight delivery. Yodel tracking shows its in a warehouse in Lichfield rather than scotland where it should be though.
[Nexus 4 General] Kid_droid:
One warning Yodel can be really dodgy with their deliveries so be on the alert mate...they left my brand new sensation XE in the bin marked as placed in a safe place on the delivery note. They have a bad time band like 9-5 pm that's all day waiting for a delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] ben_pyett:
My two Nexus 4 ordered at 08:31 on the 13th arrived today, ordered bumpers on same order neither of these were supplied, i got an email on Monday saying should arrive this week although didn't get any shipping emails and play sore still says I'm pending.

Sywepd form my DsereiS
[Nexus 4 General] Brodel:
Yea, If the price from CPW wasn't enough to put me off then the fact that they use Yodel is. I'm sure most people wont have a problem but I've had numerous issues with them and now avoid them at all costs.
[Nexus 4 General] muttly:
Has anyone who has bought the phone from CPW had an issue with the ear piece and had it successfully exchanged?
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
I returned home from work yesterday with a sorry we've missed you notice!!

Rang TNT they wouldnt let me change my address for redelivery today - So I just drove the 50 miles around trip to Stockport to go collect! Thanks again Google... Glad I'm getting my delivery charge back! - The phone is lovely, but has no protection - Need Bumper or case asap
[Nexus 4 General] ronak47:
Finally got my nexus yesterday!!! So happy!
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
I dont like CPW because its a pain to return the phone for money back/for repair. When I got a One X I had it replaced 3 times. Then they refused to replace it anymore and said I had to get a different phone or send it off for repair.
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
Here's a question, now that most of us have gotten our Nexus' without any notice on the delivery (accounts still say pending) - what would happen is we cancelled the order and re-ordered a Bumper separately? :)
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Not a fan of yodel myself. Can see thing going wrong if their tracking is right and its getting dispatched from a warehouse 300 miles away.

They must be bad from the number of times i've seen complaint posts about them floating at the top of forums.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathanation:
£389.95 :eek: :banghead:

I should really have looked on there website lol That's just a silly price, I saw O2 are charging mega money for it too!

Guess I need to wait for Google to restock!

Bumpers are IN STOCK

My Nexus 4 arrived yesterday separately and I braced myself for a long wait for the bumper cases but its here....I got the bumper finally. I ordered the bumper along with the n4 16gb on the 13th November and did not cancel the order despite all of the nonsense, they arrived both within a day of each other. I really assumed it was out of stock. I would urge people not to cancel it as it they will send it out.

View attachment 1523836
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
It's just a matter at this point if you're prepared to wait for the play store (January/February) or would rather have the phone now - and whether that's worth £100 to you.

Personally I'd always pick O2 over CPW - but with stocks dwindling you may not get a choice.
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Excellent news. Thanks for letting us know :good:
[Nexus 4 General] sidhaarthm:
Good man!:D Are you based in the UK? AFAIK 'very' few people have received their Bumpers till date..
[Nexus 4 General] Spierbal:
You are right, so far I haven't seen too many people report that they received the bumper on this thread. I expect to hear many more cases from now. I live in Leicester at the moment and for me it would be very weird if I was frequenting this thread if it was otherwise :p
[Nexus 4 General] Leong428:
Got my Nexus yesterday and the bumper just came minutes ago! The 2 complement each other very well

All that patience was with it :D

FYI I ordered at 8.32am on the 13th in a single order and both came without any shipping notice from Google.

However you can call TNT and they will check whether you have a parcel from Google just by using your postcode/address, that's what I did for the bumper anyway.

Good luck guys hope your shipments come soon!
[Nexus 4 General] g47:
Has anybody of you been sent a notification that the bumper has been shipped beforew you got it or it is still stuck @ pending?
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
I ordered bumper 28/11 with the hope it gets delayed long enough to get free delivery.

My order tracking for nexus now shows sensible info. Left local depot an hour ago. Going by previous yodel deliveries it'll arrive in 8 hours give or take (depot is after all a15-20 minutes drive away)
[Nexus 4 General] :
So it looks like a lot of people in the UK are starting to receive their orders which is great news. Fingers crossed for UK round 2 on Tuesday next week. Seems that google like doing this on Tuesdays.
[Nexus 4 General] Leong428:
No notification was sent to me and it still says pending both in my Play Store and GWallet. Called up TNT and checked using my postcode, was a shot in the dark but hey there it was!
[Nexus 4 General] randomfunk:
Phone arrived yesterday afternoon, bumper this morning. No shipping email for either and the orders still show as pending on the play store and my Google wallet. Google love a surprise.
[Nexus 4 General] Baz8755:
So.........

Now that everyone appears to be getting phone orders we can now start debating when our TV's will arrive ;)
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
Or when the store open again and how much we have to wait this time...
[Nexus 4 General] phillevy:
One good thing to have come out of the delay is how the online resources for the N4 have improved in the last 2 weeks. I got mine all "rooted and tooted" etc last night with greater ease than any previous Android device. I can't get over how much faster this is than my old Nexus S - it sometimes flies ahead of me! I'm thinking of holding back with ROM/Kernel flashing as stock seems so problem free - this simply hasn't been the case with previous devices/Android versions.

I'm still waiting for the bumper to arrive (much needed IMO) and both phone and bumper are still "pending" in Google wallet!
[Nexus 4 General] jamesking420:
Anyone know if bumpers are shipping yet from the Play Store?

I'm thinking of ordering as many as I can (5) and getting them all shipped to me (to save on shipping), and then posting the other 4 first class to 4 other members here, so we all save on the ridiculous £5.99 shipping fee.

I guess it would be £15.99 + £5.99/5 + £1 = £18.19 delivered.

Would anyone be interested?

I certainly would have been - but as seeing I missed the first opportunity to order the N4 on 13 Nov, Bumper was the only thing left for me to grab in the Play Store. So I placed an order on the 21st.. Still says Pending in Wallet - no shipping confirmation.

OK, my Google Play saga finally came to its end :) The delivery guy just surprised me - he brought a white envelope, which turned to be from TNT and... I found my bumper inside! The pickup date stamped on the envelope is 29.11.2012, so hopefully all of you waiting for your bumpers will receive them shortly :)

What was not surprising, is that I've also received the Nth email from Google Play's support this morning - with 100s of apologises and excuses and it seems that they still have NO idea that all items in my order have been shipped. The status in Play and Wallet accounts is still Pending.. I honestly feel sorry for these guys working in the call centre, they have no more information, nor the tools to check or amend our orders...
[Nexus 4 General] Bobbyballbags:
Got a reply to my tweet a few minutes after posting. Then sent them the DM with receipt, they then asked for my imei and delivery details. Took around half hour total. Good luck with it hope they haven't run out!

Wish i was in your position and im glad there are alot of happy people in this thread now.

But for me and many others our saga has yet to begin. Especially as the USA Play store is now saying 6-7 weeks for the 16GB and 8-9 weeks for the 8GB.

They just can't keep up with the demand :(

If they'll open the store again with that waiting time, i'll order it at CPW.

I'm giving Google another week to start selling it again in the UK Play Store. After that, I guess I'll get it from CPW or get another phone.

Glad units are finally getting through to people... hopefully Google open the store soon as I just want to order mine! I dont mind a wait but the issue I have is waiting to actually preorder the bloody thing :(, Can live with a month or two but not knowing when I will be able to just place an order is doing my head in haha.

Be nice to get rid of this optimus 2x, to slow now :P. Will never buy from CPW or other stores at their cheeky £400! Its a solid phone but I have never bought a phone for that much and wouldnt even consider a SGS3 at that price, my last contract was for the O2x a month after launch for £17 p/m including all my line rental no upfront costs, essentially the phone worked out at £168, can get £100 for my phone now so will use that to make this a very cheap upgrade woo:).
