hey all, i opened it up and put my orange sim in but i get nothing? no network bars etc, do i need to start with the o2 sim first? or do i need certain settings or a new sim etc? works fine in a friends unlocked note 2
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
Done, I have a Nexus 4 in my hands and its bloody beautiful :D

I decided to go with the o2 deal, 180 for the phone and 10.50 a month for 24 months. Then I did the LG TV thing on twitter, super quick DM messages back, saying they will send the TV to me within 28 days :)

I then proceeded to cancel my google play order, take that google!

So happy :) Love the phone to bits!
[Nexus 4 General] Sport666:
Your maybe right, but u don't know that before u have read about 3 pages about O2 and some free tv.

Don't know if people will use it, but I have started a thread about news and updates only regarding to Google play store in UK.

Thx.

[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
Jaybeerex, is your Orange SIM definitely a 3G SIM?
[Nexus 4 General] WhiteHartMart:
I've replied to them basically saying that - will wait and see what they say :)
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
Could the next batch be coming on the 24th?

http://www.reddit.com/r/nexus4/comments/13ibrt/anyone_get_the_wrong_model_of_nexus_4/

This person received an 8GB N4 after ordering a 16GB. He contacted Google Play support and they arranged to send a replacement on the 24th.
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
I've been reading about how people are getting replacements sent out the next day. They must have one phone spare for each customer I recon.(which I am fine with, if my phone blew up on me for no reason, I would want a replacement soon, not in 3 weeks)

--

But this is still somewhat good news, the hope is back, the hope that kills you
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
NOT necessarily bacause Google hold back warranty replacement stock..
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
i've got it working now, for some reason after i put in the o2 sim and it picked up network i just swapped in the orange one and it worked, weird
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Yey TVs for all! Looks like we are getting our free TV's then . makes this o2 deal awesome
[Nexus 4 General] chistery:
Whilst the play store says the bumpers are in stock, it appears they are not, according to their phone line.
[Nexus 4 General] pkrboo:
I just called Google as I was confused by my order. In googlplay store under orders and settings it shows two orders for a bumper but no phone. When i click on info for either order it shows the same order number AND a 16gig N4.

So thy guy confirmed that I have a phone s bumper on order and I am on the back order list.

He said it will be within 3 weeks (nothing new) I asked when the 3 weeks started. He said from the first day so technically there is only 2 weeks of back orders left!

He said it may be sooner but he couldn't guarantee it so was sticking to the 'within 3 weeks', when he said it could be sooner though he sounded like he was inferring it really would be sooner.

Fingers crossed
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
This is awesome .. BTW this phone is great. Really loving it so far
[Nexus 4 General] timmy1980:
So O2 are following me on twitter now but no DM yet... Been a couple of hours. Did people get their DM's quickly after being followed by O2?
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
I hope this is true as TNT lost (some douche stole it) so i fingers crossed Google send me out a new one asap
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
Yeah instantly.
[Nexus 4 General] Blackice-original:
I messaged them a closer pic of my receipt as soon as they started following me
[Nexus 4 General] AngryRabidBadger:
Impatience has been rewarded
[Nexus 4 General] timmy1980:
Don't use twitter really... Did you mean you DM'd them a PIC of your receipt? Thought DM was text only, like I said don't really use twitter!! Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
They've honoured my tv but they still haven't gotten back to my bro about his. I've been in contact with them but they just don't see his tweets so I sent them a pic of his receipt from yesterday and we will see how it goes. I'd consider going back to O2 if they give my bro a tv too!

I'm still not opening the box till they give me a shipping date!
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Your missing out loll. This phone is so nice
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
You might as well, you won't get a shipping date until well after the 7 day return window is closed
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
I just got followed by o2 recycle as well lol random
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
How much realistically is the TV worth? Dont need one so would be selling on...
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
Well I'd rather wait 7 days and keep the box sealed so if they don't give me a tv I can give it back with very little fuss rather than open the box up, have an amazing 7 days and then have to give the phone back because they don't wanna give me a tv anymore and then have them say we will give you £300 store credit for it because its been used! Play it safe, don't rush, you will get a nexus if you really want it. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
Oi you get back to Tiger Woods and moderate.....:laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] timmy1980:
I sent them a message asking what I needed to do next and then got the following:

"The twitter promotion is open to people buying a pay monthly phone but on this occasion we would like to give you an LG TV too!"

Looks like I'll be keeping it then!! Thanks for all the helpful posts, I would've given up if it wasn't for this thread!
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
Nice one you lucky lucky bugger you......:D

no offence in the word "bugger" just a term of endearment...;)
[Nexus 4 General] timmy1980:
Thanks! I had justified £400 to myself but the fiancée was a different game altogether... one that I lost! :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
You've gone quiet.

Just a TV. Muahahahahahahahahaha. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] hmethven:
O2 are just ignoring me, I've done everything right the tweet and telling them what time I bought it. They are not following me and no DM, what do I do?
[Nexus 4 General] timmy1980:
Absolutely none taken!
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
Currys sell it at 400£.... :)
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
My bro is in the same place pal. Hold on tight, if they don't get back to you by the weekend then send the phone back unless you want it on contract :)
[Nexus 4 General] shaneZ95:
So hate to drag everyone away from their o2 conversations but when Google play batch 2 comes around you think it'll be another mad dash and instant stock depletion, i mean there's still more without rather than with surely? Hopefully it'll go alright.
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
credit card pending gone

Hi

Google have released the funds from my barclaycard

Not sure if it is really removed or rather times out after a week if not taken up

hpseda sbstems

Since when have carphone warehouse been selling on PAYG if my local one is for £389.99 i may well go a pick one up tomorrow
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
Lightning shouldn't strike twice, I don't think google would wanna mess up again, but I don't know if they've increased production of the phone or not.

Logically, they should have hundreds of thousands being made for all the new service providers around the world but I'm not sure how many of those google would get since lg would prefer selling the phone for £350-£400 instead if £280.

In all honesty, I'd try to be first with google in the next batch, I'd normally wait for google too but the O2 deal was too tempting

Hope this helps :)
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
I see this day in day out in my job. Generally funds get reserved for 7 - 10 days before expiring however they can then send a new authorisation at any point once they've shipped to claim the money so they're not giving up on your money it's just expired.
[Nexus 4 General] gandhiuk:
I tried to buy one SIM free today from CPW (Canary Wharf) and the system wouldnt work to let the purchase go through.

The sales guy showed me that when he scanned the barcode it asked "was it a preorder?" and not matter if he put yes or no, the Nexus 4 disappeared.

He tried calling up his helpdesk to see why but the verdict was try again in a few days!!

He was holding it in his hands, so near yet so far! :(
[Nexus 4 General] Kas206:
They have been advertising it for £389.95

Since Saturday but don't actually have it in stock. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] pnnorth:
Don't forget that they also messed up the N7 launch so they already have two f-ups, I wouldn't bet against a third.
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
I think and hope that all those who ordered on the 13th but did not receive their Nexus 4 and have had the BO email will probably get priority...:fingers-crossed:

Well that's how it should go if Google don't ef it up again...:eek:
[Nexus 4 General] zibby64:
You're also assuming Google have bumper cases to actually send out to those that ordered one with the phone
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
TNT lost my parcel, has taken google 5 days to get back to me regarding this. Now google has refunded me (takes another 3-5 days apparently, means I cant look at getting another phone till this comes through) and got told that I will have to try and get another one when they come back on sale. Not even on the back order queue :mad: cheeeers google
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
Well I am sure they will get them along with their Nexus 4's...:confused:

---------- Post added at 07:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

FFS Google :rolleyes: , I feel for you that's a real bummer man, sorry bro..:(
[Nexus 4 General] zibby64:
I've yet to see someone receive the bumper case and honestly think Google don't actually have any to ship out
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
True, we will see how it goes, the situation kinda feels a bit mute right now, everything related to the uk play store devices seems to be a bit crazy and secretive.

All we know is that we have 3 weeks and if we don't get nexus, call centres are gonna be a world of pain and forums are gonna be on fire.

For everyone's sake I really do hope it goes smoothly and without a hitch and everyone gets their device within 24 hours of ordering with a nice extra bonus for playstore customers only.

:)
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
They have them I have seen a review of one.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Absolutely loving this phone! Google need to sort this mess out.

I don't feel stupid at buying from O2 at all. £179.99 for the handset. £13.50 contract over 24 months. Phoned O2 and they removed the £3 data add on lowering the monthly cost to £10.50 per month. Stuck my Orange SIM in it and playing with it as we speak.

O2 confirmed a TV will be delivered within 28 days. My sister paid £140 towards this (we need a TV) so I'm basically paying £290 overall. :D
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
Nice one, you are a lucky lad indeed.:good:...very happy for you & jealous at the same time.......:laugh:...:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
Just to add I was able to remove the data bolt on by logging onto my account online. Also mine is unlocked too, just got to cut my t mobile sim.
[Nexus 4 General] thebatsam:
Well I got my phone from o2 (tv confirmed too)....so I placed an order in for a bumper on Sunday (delivery estimate 20th). It was in stock, so no problem, right?

Turns out the frickin thing is on backorder too. I mean why say in stock on the store if it isn't? And I asked the guy if he reckons if it will be less than 3 weeks and he basically said 'it's easier to make the bumpers, so maybe. but that's just my opinion'
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
I just bought mine 10 minutes ago :/

Need O2 to confirm my TV!
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
funny that, i got my phone from o2 also today (and TV, bosh) , rang google and cancelled my phone order earlier, then asked if i make an order now for the bumper (shows in stock online) when will i get it, and he said, single bumper orders will ship in 48 hours.....
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
@ thebatsam @jaybeerex

Out of interest when did you tweet your entry to o2?
[Nexus 4 General] thebatsam:
Sunday night.....got a reply on Monday morning.

@jaybeerex That is weird......my google wallet is still pending and it says delivery estimate 20th. Obviously not got it.
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
I know it is a bummer, I am now in a heated exchange of emails with someone from google play. They told me they cancelled it and now all I have to do it order another one, its sold out!!!!!! (hits head against all)
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
O2 Twitter just seem to be ignoring me even though I bought a contract.
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
OMG I cant believe that crap , if your in the USA you get one within 48hrs and get to keep the original until your new one arrives...:rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
Does anyone knows if the tv offer is still available?

I was thinking to get the £13.50 - £3.00

Do i have to do this in store? I only go for this if i get the tv.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Yahoooo just got reply of my DM that I'll be getting TV.:D:D
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Wooo, congrats!

Just me to go now!
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
And my bro :(
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Did he get anything? Saw you tweet earlier... was it for the payg?
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
Can i still get this offer?

Please help.
[Nexus 4 General] jparnell:
As long as O2 havent given away 250 TVs already. You need to buy a contract Nexus but some people are having success with PAYG - but its a gamble.
[Nexus 4 General] Hereisphilly:
Well the Nexus 10 just came up for pre order (ships in 2-3 weeks), here's hoping they at least do the same for the 4 so we can avoid the fiasco of last time!
[Nexus 4 General] leafar1606:
Hello guys!

I got a contract Nexus 4 from o2 today for 13.5 pounds. Decided to go for a TV, but never used the Twitter before. What I did is registered with twitter, found o2 in search, put the hashtag #lifesgood in the beginning, attached a picture and send a tweet a couple of hours ago. People said they are sending DM, is there any difference between tweet and DM and how can I check if I am followed or not. Did you put you receipt detail in a tweet or not and what did you write. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] stennett:
Wish the O2 TV offer was available for pay as you go!? I'd buy one then!
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Someone a few pages back said it was in store only not online, I'll confirm what they say tomorrow when my order gets delivered as it says "an o2 store" in the t&cs, I would consider the website to be one but they might not, I would have thought it's easier for everyone to let online orders have the TV if they are available instead of having to return it and buy another one from a shop and waste both o2 staffs time and mine
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
I bought an O2 contract online but they seem to be ignoring my tweets - won't confirm if I'm eligible for the TV promotion or not...

I've waited a week with Google, happy to wait another if I'm not getting a TV with the O2 offer. Won't be paying £504 for a £280 phone...
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
I hope so!
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Keep messaging them until you get a response. I had to message them 4 times and I got their attention!

I wouldn't worry about getting it online.
[Nexus 4 General] jparnell:
Sounds like you did it right. Did you put @O2 in your tweet? a DM is a direct message, they'll send you this to ask for your name, address etc if you have won a TV. A tweet can be seen by everyone. To check if your followed, go to your profile and select followers. You'll need to follow @O2 for them to send you a DM.
[Nexus 4 General] LadFromWales85:
I had a quick nose and saw people posting pics of the phone with the document o2 send with online/telephone orders, and getting the TV.

I'd only bite if I got the TV though, and would return it otherwise!

Unlike most getting the £13.50/24m deal and cancelling the data, I'd be going £42/12m and paying £113 up front (upgrade discount), and open discount :)

EDIT: I've popped my contract o2 SIM into my s3, HSPA+ 21.6Mbit and running the speedtest.net app gets me 382/968kbps!

Not so sure now!
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
yeah, well mine is pay and go and they gave it to me, he sent his off at the exact same time (pay and go too) and they are just ignoring him, i had a chat with them and they basically dont see his tweets for some strange reason, i understand that the tv are for pay monthly users but if pay and go people are getting it after me then why cant he!

i feel that it is a waste of money going on pay monthly and paying £10.50 a month for 2 years on a tariff that you would hardly use. £10 for 50 minutes and unlimited texts is a bit too much considering three are giving 200 minutes, 500 texts and 500mb data for £7 a month for a year. i guess they gotta cover the cost of the telly and a bit on the side for them selves too

im just glad that they have honoured their word and are giving me a tv even though im on pay and go, its a bit cheeky for us to still want more, but times are hard!

i saw your tweet this afternoon too :)
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Thanks, I'm giving it a go. For those with the o2 contacts don't forget the priority moments scheme, not always great but they have things like cheap meals and cinema tickets from time to time. Worth keeping an eye on from time to time to help reclaim some more money back over 2 years. I don't plan on really using the contract for anything other than this and maybe trying for a good renewal deal in 2 years one they've rolled out their 4g network.

http://www.o2priority.co.uk
[Nexus 4 General] timmy1980:
I got a DM from O2 saying that they would like to give me a TV earlier but not had the one saying that it will be delivered within 28 days... just getting no response to any DM's I send at the moment... I would find it hard to take the Nexus 4 back to the O2 store now!
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Hopefully they have a few TVs left for you when you receive the phone then!
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Ok my page monitor is going a little bonkers. My nexus 4 and 10 order statuses on my google play account are going back and forth between "pending" and "delivery estimate 15 november 2012". Anyone else seeing this?
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
Unfortunately I doubt it, the N10 has just gone back on sale on the UK Play store with "2-3 week shipping", but the N4 is still showing "sold out", so I expect extra N4s are further down the supply pipe, maybe they're going to fill the backorders before they open floodgates again and letting those of us who missed out completely get to order one?
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Better deals on the nexus 10 once it hits the stores people!! Eg, those with (new) o2 contracts can get 10% off Argos straight away. I strongly feel in 4/5 weeks you will see 32gb Nexus10's for sub £350 if you deal hunt. I'm waiting. My N4 (edit- and my tv) will keep me going til then...

Regards,
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
****, mines on pending now.

EDIT: on page reload, getting switches between pending and shipping 15th. Also have a cancel order button I don't think I saw previously.

This is probably because its beyond the 5 working days.
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
Mine is on pending now.......
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Yes my bumper just changed from Nov 15th to Pending on Google Play. My Nexus 4 has always said complete and it still says complete even though it hasn't been shipped :(.
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
Lets hope something good comes of this, they may be refreshing the orders through their system.
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Or they might've just realised how ridiculous "delivery estimate 15 november 2012" looks when it's the now the 20th :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
Its just a relief to see ANY change to ANY of our UK orders......
[Nexus 4 General] chandlerweb:
I get the following when I try to sign into wallet

500. That's an error.

Server Error

There was a server error while handling your request. 500 That's all we know.

UPDATE: actually that only happens on safari on ipad. Chrome is fine.
[Nexus 4 General] pnnorth:
Same for my bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] :
waiting and waiting and waiting...

Didn't mange to order one on release day (due to the stupid release time).

Still waiting for everyone's backorder to clear so Google can let people order on play store again (hopefully longer than 20mins this time)

I'm not cracking and paying o2 £100+ extra.

Still hoping to get it this year. Optimistic?
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
My order has been updated to show as pending now. No idea what this means though...
[Nexus 4 General] leafar1606:
Yes I put @O2 in my tweet. I have send 3 tweets already, for some reason when you post the same tweet the text dissapears, only the link to the picture is there. Maybe that's the way the tweeter works:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
Thanks.

Do you mean I shouldn't bother cancelling the online order?

OR

Shall I get it from a store?
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
The change to 'Pending' most likely confirms that we're back-ordered...
[Nexus 4 General] :
Mine has also switched from Estimated 15th Nov to Pending.

For 8GB Nexus 4 and Bumper.

Let's hope things start moving for us all soon... Am naively hopeful that the change from Estimated 15th to Pending means something is happening.

Also just got this message from Google. Was sent at 2146 today.

Hello Matt,

Thank you for contacting us. If you ordered on 11/13 and you did not receive a backorder notification email, your order is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. If you haven't already received a shipping confirmation email that contains the tracking number, you should receive one by end of day today. However, please note that it can take up to 1 business day for the tracking number to be activated. Rest assured that once you receive your ship confirmation email with your tracking number, it is in the process of shipping for an estimated arrival of Tuesday, Nov. 20.

Thanks,

Richard

[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
My Google transaction's always been pending... :(
[Nexus 4 General] wazka2:
Could anyone explain to me how does the open discount thing works when you buy in store? Its dead easy to get a code even though I dont know anyone working for specified company... when actually buying a phone do I need to provide name of person working at kfc for example? Do they check it?
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Sorry to the play store orderers but I know I saw a couple of people ask this, I ordered from o2 at about 2pm and just got my quidco tracking email just under 11 hours later. The tracking is fairly quick it seems but it will be weeks before the cash is transferred. I'd give them 24 hours and then contact quidco if it hasn't tracked
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
make sure you are not on private mode, my bro was on private mode, i will find out tomorrow if he can get a telly like me. i sure hope so!
[Nexus 4 General] zibby64:
Pretty much, it ties in with the funds being released as well
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Huh? So if you didn't get a back-order e-mail you should be getting yours within the hour? Believable.
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
I don't think anyone in the UK got a shipping email last night. They need to appease the US crowd before they lay blame to some middle eastern country...
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
Is the telly deal still on? Couldnt see it on the website
[Nexus 4 General] ronnieb555:
Mine has also been changed to pending and the funds have been returned/unfrozen in my account.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Probably neither good nor bad news for us, but at least SOMETHING has changed....
[Nexus 4 General] savo83:
I don't think we'll get anything tonight but if the US do, it means we should be next at least..
[Nexus 4 General] zippyijk:
Same as the rest of ye. Changed to Pending on my Bumper and 16gb N4.

Funds have also been returned to my bank account. Damn I was hoping that as they still had a hold on my money that I would get it soon.

This makes me feel like it could be a long long wait...I don't believe the 3 week BS their spouting especially as they don't even know what order people ordered or even what the ordered for that matter.
