Called every TMO store here locally, none have it in stock, so I ordered one on their website. One store did say that it could come in UPS today and that they would call, while another said they were not getting the phone at all. I kind of wish I could change my shipping now to next day vs UPS Ground.

Grabbed a Nexus 4 from my local T-Mobile store this morning! They had 5 on hand. Only 3 of us were there when they opened. Haha. And only $200 with my upgrade. Woot. :D

Edit: By the way, I live in Utah. And it was only about $236 with upgrade fee and tax.
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
Just ordered it online since none of the local T-Mobile's had it. It's gonna take 1 week to get here T_T
[Nexus 4 General] bmwjnky:
I'm going to wait for google to get more because the price difference with tax for unlocked version for me is almost $162 if I bought one at T-mo today. Thats about $75 more than one extra month of Sprint service so its not worth it. My whole reason for getting the unlocked version is so I can use T-mo prepaid $30 plan and not have a contract anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] radlink14:
WTF are these 15 dollar data plans people are referring to !?!?
[Nexus 4 General] hyusa:
If I buy an N4 from T-mobile can I still use it on their $30/month pre-paid plan?
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
Someone know where can i get today full-contract near lawrence????
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
u just gotta call around. i just called over 30 stores and finally found one. out the door i go
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
did you managed to buy the full contract??

wich store!?

Cause im outside of the country and my friend is going to buy!
[Nexus 4 General] briansuperduper:
So, from speaking with tmo CSR, the device is not available to purchase off contact via telephone. Spoke with several store reps who said you can purchase off contract in store, but you must activate in store, so no $30 plan.

i extended one of my 5 lines, 199 + tax so 236. i could care less about off contract googleplay pricing, my family plan comes out to about 40 per person so were all happy.
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
already call to a lot of stores and all of them said that they dont sell full contract
[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:
I just got mine from a T-Mobile store in Van Nuys, California. I was told this phone was locked through T-Mobile and that in a few months I could call Customer Care to have it unlocked using a code. Is this true? I thought T-Mobile sold the same unlocked version as the Google Play Store :/
[Nexus 4 General] mrbkkt1:
I heard they were locked also.
[Nexus 4 General] Nitemare3219:
I doubt it's locked.
[Nexus 4 General] briansuperduper:
Just got mine from tmo store in North Hollywood CA. I was the first one to purchase there so far, and they do have additional stock.

I paid full retail price off contract, but had to activate the phone there. I did not ask whether the phone was locked or unlocked...

Called a rep I deal with and asked him if I could switch out my S3 for one. It should be shipping today. :)
[Nexus 4 General] MaxCarnage:
Has anyone who bought their phone at a T-Mobile seen any accessories for sale at the stores too? Just curious.
[Nexus 4 General] bmwjnky:
Has to be an unlocked phone like the N4 to work.

Nope, no accessories available, apart from a standard car charger.

someone knows if i can buy with contract and then pay to cancel...cause they dont wanna sell full contract?and if its locked or not?

thanks
[Nexus 4 General] nyvram1:
I still have my grandfathered $5/mo data plan (used to be tzones). its worked fine with my existing HD2, except for BING maps which apparently doesn't use port 80?

any idea if i'm going to have any problems using an unlocked nexus 4 on that?

i guess since i bought one already i'll be finding out soon :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:
Is there a way to check on the phone?
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
put another sim...
[Nexus 4 General] predation:
If You Want to use tzones, then dont get it From T-Mobile. They have the imei in their system and I'm pretty sure you'll get an upsell message.

Not sure, but even the one straight from google might upsell you. T-Mobile might be able to get the imei numbers from google, like they did with the nexus one.
[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:
I meant like in settings or something.

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

You think I'll be able to use my Nexus 4 as a hotspot without T-Mobile detecting it? Or am I screwed because they already have the IMEI number?
[Nexus 4 General] radlink14:
Theres nothing there for 15 dollars that's data service....
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:
I wasnt elgible, but they gave me the $199 Nexus 4 upgrade with 2year contract & current plan! No ship or upgrade fees...cool

Google Play store sux's to much!
[Nexus 4 General] llustig:
Or just buy the phone from google play store when the stock refreshes.... LOL
[Nexus 4 General] eksasol:
It's not lock, trust me. This is a pentaband Nexus device. Nexus devices are sold unlocked.
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
they dont want to sell me the full contract 500U$....can i pick the on contract and then just cancell the contract???how much is it!?
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
if you want to do that, you need to activate a new line, pay the first month, plus early termination fee, plus the price of the phone.

so lets say 236 for the phone. 200 ETA, 70 for a month of service. your gonna pay the same. plus if they make u put down a down payment lol.

so anywhere from 500-600 after all hoops
[Nexus 4 General] zevim2005:
Yeah the problem is that im in usa until monday....i dont live here!

so im getting crazy searching for the nexus4 full contract!

but thanks anyway!
[Nexus 4 General] galaxys:

[Nexus 4 General] xxMAGICxx:
Just ordered mine from the T-Mobile website. :D I got the next day shipping. I Will post back soon when I get it. Or maybe not, cause I'll be too excited playing with the device:p
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Did u get it for $200?
[Nexus 4 General] xxMAGICxx:
It was $200...then the upgrade fee.. then the shipping fee all together and was around $260. I'll post a picture later.
[Nexus 4 General] egon27:
Thought T-mobile are sold out of the phone too? I tried ordering and it said that the phone was not available for immediate shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] sarni84:
Yes I got it for 200 and they gave me a50 rebate;) I posted pictures in another thread because someone did not believe me lol anyways I was told that only select retail stores would have them and customer care would not sell them. Weird that you can order online well I see the one guy said he did. I just sent the wife to a local popular store around where I live and they had plenty in stock...... Philly pa

is there anyone who could confirm that they sell in the tmobile store nexus4 without a contract? and how much would it cost? come on holiday next week from Italy and I would like to get me one, thanks
[Nexus 4 General] bakron1:
I got mine from the T-Mobile store today as an upgrade and I asked the person the off-contract price and it's 499.00 plus tax for the 16 GIG version. I know you can get it from the Play store for 349.00, but that's what T-mobile gets for it.

By the way, the store I got mine from today had 8 in stock and there where 8 folks in line with me and they have sold them all out in less then a half hour and no one complained about the extra cost compared to the Google play store. Good luck and I hope you get one on your trip here.
[Nexus 4 General] Sparta507:
Today I went to my local Tmobile store on Pembroke Pines just off the I95. These guys told me that the ONLY nexus 4 demo and stores that actually had the phone was the Tmobile in Aventura Mall and Miami Beach Tmobile... just a heads up for my south florida/Miami people.... I would like to know if anyone hears anything different, because the dude at the tmo counter was kind of a douch with a iphone anyways...
[Nexus 4 General] [hfm]:
If I wasn't on 4.2 on my GNex (got the ota yesterday) I would have been tempted to walk to T-Mobile. I think I can wait a few days for the play store.

4.2 is blazing on the GNex. I'm loving it.
[Nexus 4 General] masondoctorjt:
On the T-Mobile website for the nexus 4 it claims to have a micro sd slot for up to 64gb additional storage. If only that were true. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/phones/Cell-Phone-Detail.aspx?cell-phone=Google-Nexus-4
[Nexus 4 General] casonswag:
Yea they had messed up on that

[Nexus 4 General] Henrock11:
Question for those that got one from T-Mobile. Is the stock tethering app working or did T-Mobile get rid of that? Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] reddv1:
It works, I'm posting while tethered to the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] resynx:
thank goodness :cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] reddv1:
You can do that if you reactivate the standard Sim after activating the micro Sim. And when you get the nexus 4 reactivate the micro Sim again.
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
Do you know if there is any downside to getting a new micro-sim over cutting an old one, or vice versa? Could a new micro-sim from tmo give you access to 42mbps and an older sim that you cut down might only access the 21mbps connection? Or the newer sims have some restriction not found in the older ones?
[Nexus 4 General] firebert:
I've been trying to figure out if it is worth renewing my contract and get this phone for $199. It is $350 unlocked from google so this is how much it's worth (not $499 according to T-Mobile), If I do the math they are only subsidizing $150 for it vs. ~$300 if I get a S3, Note2 or OneS. My plan is to get the Nexus4 to last me until 2013 when T-Mobile rolls out LTE and get the first LTE capable phone on T-Mobile. But it seems like the value of the Nexus4 will depreciate faster than any of the other aforementioned phones.
[Nexus 4 General] reddv1:
You will get 42mbps on both of them. The only thing I've read about newer sims and I don't know if it's true is that newer sims can find or manage cell towers better than older sims.

The only downside of cutting is the contacts on the sim might not align as good when inserted into the phone.

I would get a micro sim eventually.
[Nexus 4 General] droidsrus:
Just checked the status of the two n4's I ordered yesterday and they'll be here today. Regardless of the fact it said it was gonna take til the 20th at first for some reason. Nice! Gotta love next day air.
[Nexus 4 General] killerbicycle:
Earlier Today, now yesterday/Wednesday, I called multiple T-Mobile stores in the Silverdale, Seattle, and Tacoma areas. All the stores that had stock, were out very quickly when the N4 was released. Two Stores however recommended coming in on Friday as that is when they expected to receive their initial shipment of the units.

To me this gives more credit to the 3-Day rumor, that the N4 might be back in stock come Friday.

Unfortunately I will be departing Washington Thursday night so I can't follow through. I'll just have to hope I am on the ground Friday morning and have cell/wifi reception.

Yes, I bought mine off contract in store. But, you must leave the store with an activated phone, whether on contract or prepaid off contract.

As far as I'm aware, once a SIM card has been activated, it can't be used again. Not sure if this policy has been changed though.
[Nexus 4 General] rudiepoo1:
So I see you did the upgrade as a current customer correct, but what type of plan on you on? I'm eligible for an upgrade and I'm currently on the value plan so wondering if I'm able to get this for $199 as well.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] TopazUser1:
This whole process has been a headache. I tried getting one from the play store the moment it went live, fail. The next morning I ordered one form the T-Mobile website, to my surprise that was successful. This morning I received an email that the N4 is backordered. I went ahead and called 611 and they informed me that it will take 1-2 weeks for them to replenish their stock. So I cancelled the whole dam thing. Off to the t-mobile stores I go to see if they still have any left. Wish me luck :(

edit: Called 3 stores in my area and they were all sold out. They all said they received 30-40 N4's per store. & they all said the same thing, "we will receive more MAYBE next week"
[Nexus 4 General] aznminivan:
me three :( hopefully it wont be too long before the get more
[Nexus 4 General] sassyness77:
Mine was backordered last night when I called in and I was promised 100% by the rep in customer loyalties that it was just because of the system and it will be shipped and arrive Friday. At the latest it will be here Monday. If that isn't the case and there's over a week late I will have to cancel the whole deal :( I just can't be without a phone :(
[Nexus 4 General] Nitemare3219:
Good thing I called and ordered mine at midnight :D.

Just got a text saying order is being processed and I will receive a tracking number once finished :) looking good to me!
[Nexus 4 General] Robert_W:
rudiepoo1: on a value plan you can "upgrade" at any time. You are still responsible to pay off the previous device though. You will still receive it for an initial $200 + monthly fee ($15 over 20 months)
[Nexus 4 General] jaZzyjeff818:
I got the insurance on my N4. Does anyone know exactly how that works? If I were to drop it and crack the screen, or lose it, and wanted to replace it by paying the deductible would the first N4 be useless then? Do they burn their phones using the IMEI like Verizon does?
[Nexus 4 General] jsapp:
I got the same email yesterday morning. Then I got the backordered email today. But I found a store with one left in stock and was able to get it that way. Sorry Denver. It was me who got the last one.
[Nexus 4 General] smirkis:
if your on a value plan, you can get it for 199, plus activation plus tax, plus 15 extra dollars a month for 20 months on top of your normal phone bill.

My friend has a sidekick 4g and this screen appeared on his phone. No response..can't get it to recovery or download. I have a Skyrocket so I don't know what this screen is. Is it bricked? I think he was trying to put CWN on with Odin when it happened. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there fellow XDA'er,

That is a different screen for download mode on the SK4G. I dont know what you mean by using Odin to flash CWM on the device. Odin is a program used to reflash the original firmware on the device. Odin can use that screen to flash the original firmware on your device, it may be soft bricked.

First you could use this to firmware and pit file for the SK4G to flash with Odin. --> (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1885482) add http to that. I cant post links yet :\

Then you and your friend should follow this thread for getting CWM on your device :) --> (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124453) again add the http but remove the ().

The recovery correct update.zip file used on the SK4G can be found here --> (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1965239) Again with the http...

I think I covered everything :) you should look further into these forums next time though there is usually a thread posted needing this same help. Just trying to help out. Free to ask questions if I missed anything.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] EQ811977:

Screen Protector and Case

I too was looking around for cases and screen protectors as I just got the phone today! Love it so far. Really well made and fast phone. I found an Spigen (SGP) screen protector but it's for the Sprint and International one, but since the screens are the same (to my knowledge) I sent an email asking Spigen if they are compatible and also asked then when the AT&T Optimus G cases will be released. Will update when I receive an email back.

P.S.

I tried the Belkin Bumper for this phone at the AT&T store, and truly hated it because it made the phone look super weird.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Pandasaurus12:
I found a good screen protector for the front and back of the phone.

I can vouch for the quality of this BodyGlove case that AT&T sells.... this morning I found my phone laying underneath our kitchen table. The phone had fallen 6 feet from a shelf and our floor is made of smooth concrete. I noticed it somehow made contact with three corners of the case leaving gashes... but inside my phone was found in pristine condition when removing the case. If it works from 6 feet it will most certainly be fine dropped from your hand or out of pants pocket

Would like something slightly more grippy.

I got one of the cheapo snap together hard cases locally, and the tabs on it snapped when I put it on.
