I think it should be fine by then, 11 days to go, have you seen date change

---------- Post added at 09:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 AM ----------

I'm hoping this week is the week.....
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
No problem :good:
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
oh definetly, my alternative to google now is handtec at 334, but if cpw sells at 349 i'll prefer it
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
This is pretty much the same experience as the Nexus 7 launch, I pre ordered on the announcement didn't get it till three weeks later. A colleague of mine called up some time after the announcement [weeks later] and got a n7 the next day, while I still was waiting. It's madness
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
Might zip into my local CPW & Phones4U stores tomorrow and try a bit of schmoozing. I spoke to Susan from the CPW customer support team today at lunch who was really unhelpful and suggested checking their website..
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
If I have to wait three weeks, I'll get one in-store if it's £350 or under. Preferably the 16GB model, though. The 8GB won't do it for me. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Luckily I was never involved in that, unluckily I'm involved in it this time.

How on earth can an order system fail that badly? Did you get compensated in anyway?

I'm actually at a complete disbelief a company the size of Google can do that badly twice in a row, let alone even once.
[Nexus 4 General] raze599:
I just followed the trend and called them now :)

He said it will most likely dispatch tomorrow and I should receive it later this week or at the latest early next week.
[Nexus 4 General] Qassim:
It is one thing for a company to mess up a launch this badly, it is another thing for Google to mess up a launch this badly. This is Google!
[Nexus 4 General] kash1786:
Soon just to reconfirm,has anybody (actually) received shipping notification/ tracking number from tnt?, or nethngg? I was kinda hoping for one today,lame :(
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
Still pending on Google wallet.

Still 15th November on Play Account...

This is like this since the order... 13th 8 something AM...

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] :
Google are amateur that's all I can say...
[Nexus 4 General] SIDKIMA:
I havent gotten mines yet
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
suffice to say we're all pretty disappointed with how this has all gone down, ordering was poor (had a 16gb in the basket at least 10 times with it failing before it went OOS and i got an 8gb) then no updates to the checkout since and inconsistent delivery estimates. All of this with zero communication all adds up to a pretty poor sure all in all.

i'll sit tight regardless and wait, just annoyed i sold my one x so am phoneless for a few days ( i hope)
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Yeah I do not understand the lack of communication we see in many large companies - They'd almost instantly cut call centre/email workloads in half if they just communicated :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Nexx:
Exactly the same here. Disappointed to say the least.
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
If they come back saying I need to wait 3 weeks for delivery (which I don't think will happen) I will just def the whole Nexus 4 idea and keep my note I think, that would really take the magic out of it.

Dunno why but I'm just peed off with the fact that we paid a tenner shipping. maybe in future they should offer free shipping then nobody will be able to say s##t about it.
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
I wish Google were transparent with us and just told us outright when they expect to receive stock. The conflicting information from the CSRs only adds to the confusion.

My HOX is on eBay atm, the auction ends on Sunday. If I knew the N4 won't be back in stock for 3 weeks I could take the listing down and be happy using it for the time being. If stock was coming in a few days or a week I would let the auction run. I have no other phone so I don't want to be left completely phoneless for an undetermined amount of time.
[Nexus 4 General] sunny_2012:
N4

so apart from the initial release date, has anybody been able to order today ?
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
Some of you guys are ridiculous! Every time I call the play store I get another story... so you taking the word of some guy on this forum that someone told him this... and you believe it?? Come on just give em a few days before we go flying off the handle....:confused::confused:
[Nexus 4 General] geostar1:
I went into a Carphone Warehouse today to try and buy one after missing out on it on the play store. The nice saleswoman went to the storeroom, got a 16GB Nexus 4 for me. At this point I had my card out ready to pay. But NO. She goes to scan it, the till wouldn't recognise it so they couldn't sell it. Literally computer says no...
[Nexus 4 General] sungrad:
just followed the trend and called google play. mine says it will despatch on 15th, but mr google on the phone reckons that i should expect it to despatch friday at latest, and arrive monday/tuesday.

so nothing new, but kind of confirming what others have heard.
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
Have many people who were changed to "2nd January" date have their phone delivered / dispatched?
[Nexus 4 General] johhn:
about one, judging from this thread. :p
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Yeah and i have a feeling they are blagging :p well not that i know for sure or anything..... LOL

Wish they would hurry up, im getting damn impatient!

Reading that article makes me want my phone even more :(
[Nexus 4 General] metymun:
Ordered 4th Dec

Received by Google 6th Dec

4-5 week shipping time

Evening of 5th Jan by automated email

No date change or any other action since the order date.

I contacted CS last weekend via phone and email and finally I received following emails.

Date: 6 Jan, 11.52am

Date: 7 Jan, 7.23am

I can't find anything to say.

I have been waiting for 5 weeks and at the end of the 5th week, they say that I have 3 weeks more.

This is completely unacceptable.
[Nexus 4 General] capt_carl:
I ordered the day after you and as much as my order is only expected in the new two weeks this whole bloody thing has been a shambles! Leaves me really wondring if i'll bother going through this crap next time a nexus is released!

Hope we all see some movement soon.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
How can they NOT know when Google UK are going to receive a shipment ?

A company of its size would NOT be in the dark about when THEIR OWN product is going to be delivered - I hope for all you guys waiting that this is a JOKE !

Google = A$$HOLES ! ! !
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
New week, same old story from Google then....
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
This is the only reason I am worried about not seeing a date change.

Google have no clue yet people who ordered after you have seen a date change/progress.

I s**ks so bad, unbelievable.

I can't believe Google are not even bothered by this or willing to listen.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
But while you guys have been waiting since ordering Dec 4 with your money on hold // ringfenced - they are busy filling the shelves of Virgin, 3, O2, CWH, Voda ...........................

Fine way to treat your most loyal customers.
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
As long as I get mine before the estimate it is a win for me. But for all the others I feel for you. Just hope there is a massive shipment. Google sure did f@ck this up.
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
I am actually due for an upgrade [with 3UK] in 2 days. I am seriously thinking that if I can get a decent deal it may just be soooooooooooooooooo much easier and stress free to do the unthinkable !
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
I like your thinking Batman, if i lived in the UK i would have probably walked in and brought one on PAYG a long long time ago....
[Nexus 4 General] hhd7247:
So that those without much patience might pay extra 100+ to get the phone from O2, CPW.....
[Nexus 4 General] dodgydave100:
It seems that shipments have resumed in Canada (i can't post the link but i found it on the android authority site) so hopefully UK orders will be fulfilled soon.
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
yes - i was just reading this: http://www.androidauthority.com/google-nexus-4-early-shipments-canada-145174/
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
not in that boat but close enough, Google have really messed up.

also unless you have a date change there is no chance you will get it by the 12th......
[Nexus 4 General] Acritter:
Just spoken to Google on the phone regarding my order (a 4-5 weeker with date changed to 2nd Jan.) as they had told me to contact them if I hadn't received a shipping email by the 5th.

Got a shipping refund so I advise anyone else with a 4-5 week estimate to do the same (not sure why they're refunding already as 4-5 weeks + 2 day shipping isn't up yet). He couldn't tell me when those with the date change were likely to get their orders, he just confirmed that it indicated movement. He said he was going to speak to the 'team' regarding my order but when I asked if they could pass on any information as to when the next UK batch would ship he said no.

I'm now waiting for him to speak to the 'team' and provide me with further information. Not expecting much.
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
Has your credit card been charged already then? Otherwise they'd just take off the shipping from the order surely?
[Nexus 4 General] Acritter:
No charge yet, was told to email him when I do get charged and it would be refunded back to me.

Perhaps it is safe to assume we won't be getting our phones this week if they expect to refund 4-5 week estimates, given they have until Thursday to get them to us.
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Well if anyone here gives up waiting and goes with a Virgin Mobile contract instead( It's not available PAYG sorry) , I have one spare friends & family discount I'm willing to give out to a desperate XDA user.

It basically gives you a 25% discount on your monthly contract bill. If you have Virgin home cable services you get another £5 a month off too, as well as free next day replacement insurance.

PM me if interested.

And good luck to the rest of you hope you get it soon.
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
Ah fair enough. Mine was a 6-7 week delivery when I ordered it, so I'm not expecting miracles, but my date has changed, so fingers crossed! I ordered on the 13th Dec.
[Nexus 4 General] darkhorse10:
I agree. Even 1-day earlier to the estimated date (23rd Jan) is fine with me. Just hope there is no other smartphone is released/anounced in this two weeks to make N4 outdated.
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
The fifth of February? That doesn't sound too hopeful.. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Well with the announcement of the Tegra 4, im feeling buyers remorse for something i cant even hold in my hand!!

F*cking Google...
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
5th of Jan most likely.
[Nexus 4 General] thl1988:
^^ This. If he's already contacted them, they would have meant the 5th January.
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
Mine's meant to be 23rd too. Ordered on the 6th with 6-7 week delivery.The Xperia Z looks pretty awesome but i'm with a nexus for the price and the updates so I'm good.
[Nexus 4 General] enomis27:
what about orders placed on 5th december? Any news?
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Date change on Play to the 2nd, thats it for me!

Still getting excited when i receive an email.... then p*ssed off when its not my shipping mail!

Edit:

My order was....

5 December 2012 14:57:58 UTC
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
Haha. This!^^
[Nexus 4 General] rhymer2k:
If this is true, my order was 5-6 weeks meaning I'm some way behind you. Receiving my phone over 2 months after I placed my order and 3 months after it was released is something I will never forgive Google for, It's that simple.
[Nexus 4 General] blizard80:
I have made an order in 4 December 2012 09:31 UTC-8 (expected 4-5 weeks), got the automatic answer to my emails stating 5th January as shipping date, got my date refreshed to 2nd January and now google support is saying that the shipping is 8th January...

What will be the next date??? Tomorrow is 8th and it makes exactly 5 weeks since i ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] hhd7247:
asking for the 9.99 refund is the only thing we can do
[Nexus 4 General] Acritter:
Not sure if it's been posted by anyone else. If you were looking to get a similar sim-only deal from 3, this works out to be comparable to ordering it from the Play Store: http://www.buymobilephones.net/fulldetails.php?fdid=14750189&bid=1867633368

Major drawback to me is being locked into a 24 month contract but otherwise it works out only £10 more expensive than I was initially planning to spend over 2 years.

Just rang up to see when it'll next be in stock and was told between 7-14 days, so not an immediate solution but something to consider if those of us currently waiting haven't seen anything by then!
[Nexus 4 General] lanky78:
Another option for those still waiting to order (or just plain waiting like me :p) is http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_contract_details.asp?ItemKey=659987&MPItemKey=659992&NetKey=4#offer_details

Works out at £23.50 PCM with 200 mins unlimited text and 750MB data. not too bad for general use?

It works out about £12 over 24 months for the 16GB from Gplay (£290 ish with P&P) so that works out as about £11 a month for the contract, not a bad allowance for that price compared to other sim only deals!
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
I just need the phone unlocked/Sim free or what ever you call it.

I already have a awesome contract.

Shame on Google.
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
I just read LG will announce new phones in the coming month(s). Our phone will be outdated before we get it :(
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
Haha, my current phone is from 2010 :P
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
I agree, Google are soo lost,
[Nexus 4 General] darkhorse10:
Dont worry. They didn't announce any. Search for "New LG smartphones are a no show at CES, will wait for MWC instead"
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
I know, but they said it won't be long until they announce a new phone, and HTC has a few nice ones which may come to Europe/USA too, so I'm still worried..
[Nexus 4 General] druggeduk:
You're not likely to get a new phone announced that blows the Nexus 4 out of the water while still remaining at the same price point.

And of course... if cost is no object - why are you waiting for google to get your phone, go out to a shop and buy one tomorrow if you're that worried about it getting outdated!
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
It's Tuesday today, the day they always re-stock the nexus device on the play store. Still out of stock though I see.

Another thing they do on tuesdays is start shipping! I've been following this thread and know that they started the previous batches on a tuesday too. So hopefully the last ( if any ) of the 4th dec orders will be covered first thing tonight/tomorrow morning else it's our turn! ( 5th dec. orders ).

I really hope it happens tonight cause another week will be too much...

1080p 5" phones are the new thing. Only reason why I'm with the nexus 4 is cause of price. Otherwise I'd have a hard time between note2, xperia z and GS4.
[Nexus 4 General] Acritter:
Someone posted earlier in the thread that their automated email response from Google regarding their shipping date had changed to the 8th. Would be great if this were to happen, not holding my breath though!
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
Agreed.

Because I live in the Netherlands and there's no phone that beats the Nexus 4 out yet :)

Moreover, I'm using a P990 now, and if anyone here has experience with that phone you know the horrors of bad software support and bloatware..
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
Wow - I had a p900 and a p910. Awesome phones for their day but a little outdated now... :)
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
oh sh!t it's monday today!! nooo .... scratch that, tomorrow night :(

I think the gs3 is 'better' than the nexus 4 in many ways...personally for me. I also think the note 2 is better.

Dude i'm using a samsung f408! apps? what's that. I'm dieing here
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
i remember them too, flimsy key pad,

apple makes the same thing 5 years later and the world turns upside down....lol
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
I probably should have mentioned that I'm using an LG P990 :D
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
Ah. Not quite so retro and cool :)
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
The rush of blood to my head about considering getting the N4 on some sort of contract [my contract is up for renewal in 2 days] has gone :eek: I have a phone which still has a dedicated dev keeping our SGS on CM10.1 so I can wait a bit longer.

I have come to think of it like this - the longer I have to wait for it the less time I will have to break it/worry about breaking it until the next one comes out :D and I will make sure that in that time I will save up hard so I don't have to wait as long :good:

Meanwhile not that I think the guy gives a **** anymore but I've added another comment to Dans G+ page

https://plus.google.com/stream/circles/p1b2925dc0e0ef9f2

N7 32 GIG in Play Store are back in stock and the N10 [£319]
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Kind of feel for you mate, i had a P990 until i got my S3 last June, good quality hardware, absolutely SHOCKING software from LG!!

Only way to get that phone in a half decent state was to hack the sh*t out of it and pop CM on!

And then still there were baseband issues i just couldnt find the sweet spot!

Good job my sister has that phone now..... :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] daffyduck2602:
Agree, I've had to go back to a modified Samsung ROM on my SGS2, just to be able to reliably make the radio work. Never again a Samsung.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Yes, i had lots of fun with mine :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Take it your having more fun with your Nexus 4 though, right?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Different kinds of fun.
[Nexus 4 General] blizard80:
for those in the 4-5 weeks time-frame... today is the last day... right?

So we should be receiving the phone on Thursday with the 2 day shipping!

I'm the only one that thinks this is not gonna happen?
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
Ok, I'm showing a £1 pending transaction on my card, other than fuel at a Tesco "Pay at the Pump" for my car there's been no other recent transactions, I'd like to think I can fill the car for £1 but can't. Is this a sign that Google is pinging my card to ensure my details are valid? Or, based on how they have done it previously, do they "reserve" the full amount?
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
That sounds dirty.....

Out of interest, what you running ROM/Kernel wise?

Want to know what the crack is for when i EVENTUALLY receive mine.
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
Such a pessimist. Google have never let anyone down before... :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] ralph78:
After bombarding Google support with email finally got some answer that is not an automated message :

"Thank you for contacting the Google Play Support Team. Upon checking your order, I have seen that it has updated on January 2nd. You should be receiving a tracking number within this week! I apologize that you have not received any update or information on your device, but rest assured that it is almost finished processing.*I'd be more than happy to request a refund in shipment for such a long delay on your order. After you receive your email, give us a call back or email us and we will submit a request for you. If you have any future questions or concerns, feel free to email me back. I'd be more than happy to assist you!

Thanks,

*Chase

The Google Play Support Team"

However i still don't see any movement in my order, it's still dated 4 th of Dec as the order date and 6 th when Google commerce received my order.

It's strange, are they lying again?

Sent from my SGS2 using TT.
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
Has anyone seen any date changes today ? Or any shipping emails ?
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
Nothing here.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Nope all the same here.
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
I have seen..... NOTHING
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
I saw your post and remembered reading something about the £1 transaction on your card, it was on G+ from a recent post here I have c&p it but the post says the info is somewhere on GP.

"That makes clear that you only make authorisations for $1 in advance of the full charging. However, my bank account for most of the time since I placed an order had an authorisation for the full amount on it,"

again here is the link - its the 2nd to last post in the 400+ thread so you can see it without having to read the whole thread.

https://plus.google.com/stream/circles/p1b2925dc0e0ef9f2
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
Thanks, that sounds promising then. Might be some movement very soon. I'll post updates if/when they happen.

For the record:-

Ordered 10th Dec

Date updated to 2nd Jan

Ordered with Device set to "Linked to my account"
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
I ordered before you with no change but I unchecked device linked, errr Google are killing us........getting frustrated with no movement or communication from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
I haven't seen any change in my Google account or Wallet (other than the 2nd Jan date change) the £1 charge is by viewing my Barclaycard's pending transctions online and it only shows an amount, not the recipient of the payment. It's only because I knew what should be pending that I could work ou the £1 had been authorised.

HTH
[Nexus 4 General] Tones1971:
Looks like the changing of orders to 2nd january meant nothing then. Was hopeful we would have had some movement by now.
[Nexus 4 General] Gryx:
Google still have 2 weeks to deliver your device. So just sit back and wait.

I don't understand why people keep mailing the cs. They always give the same answers. It doesn't speed up the shipping. Only thing you can do is wait. Nothing will help you to get the device sooner.
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
At least some on the 2nd January orders should see shipping details this week.

I think Google are processing orders by date changes as they get information of stock coming in then, then when the stock does arrive they dispatch them.

Nothing for us though :(
[Nexus 4 General] metymun:
I think Google will ship their order before some others who placed an order before them. This will be the worst problem I have experienced about nexus 4 order process. As a 4-5 weeker, I have been told that I have to wait 3 weeks more but there are some 10th or 13th Dec orders have changed date.

If changing date means you are on the first place in queue - most of us think it does, it also means that Google doesn't follow the first in first out method. This would be massive disaster and unfortunately I am expecting some shipments will be done before my 4Dec order which has no date change yet.
[Nexus 4 General] CalumL:
I know, but on the basis of some activity on my account/credit card I'm simply helping people form a pattern on what may or may not be happening on their own order. On the evidence here it appears that something is happening and that may assist others who are quite a bit closer to, or over, their expected time and give them some reassurance that things are progressing if they see a similar pattern to previous deliveries.

On the face of it, I'd be surprised now if my phone took till 25th to get into my hands now.
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
received another case from Hong Kong today

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281040036715

nice as well. shame no phone yet....
[Nexus 4 General] dafadau:
Well if mine really does take until 30th Jan, I'll be cancelling it and pre-ordering the Xperia Z instead.
[Nexus 4 General] the_crevis:
if you can afford the Xperia Z then why not spend an extra £100 and get yourself a Nexus 4 from cpw or o2 now?
[Nexus 4 General] rhymer2k:
Prefer the Xperia ZL..the Z is too much of a finger print magnet and has a bland design.
[Nexus 4 General] jackalomg:
I want to rip my skin, the waiting is killing me slowly! Also my girlfriend wants my iPhone 4 and she cannot understand why nexus 4 (I told her that I will give her my iPhone when I got the Nexus 4) takes so much time to ship! She thinks that I am dump that I pre-ordered a phone that will take up to a month to getting shipped and she is probably right!
