I was in a similar situation having ordered on the 4th, my Wallet told me Google didn't receive the order till the 6th and like you I didn't get any update when others with the same estimate and order date did.

My date updated today though so I'm expecting to receive the phone soon (and within the 4-5 week estimate I was given). So I wouldn't worry about not receiving your phone.
[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
This whole situation is seriously appalling!

If google had set a pre-order on their page instead of deceiving customers by allowing us to place a normal order, many of us would probably be a lot more patient and tolerant. The fact that they have not taken ownership of a major F***-up makes it even more frustrating. I feel sorry for the CSR who have taken all of our calls as they don't know much more than what we know.

I just spoke once again with another rep who kindly apologized for the mock-up and reimbursed my shipping fee. He looked into my account as he saw something different he had not come across with and after placing me on hold, he kindly advised that my phone is on the next shipment.

Soon after I hung up I received an email from google with an update on my order "Great news! Your order on Google Play has shipped. Track the status of your package." Shipping estimate time 1-2 weeks....

Ordered Dec 4th @ 11:06 pm with original shipping of 4-5 weeks, ordered completed on Dec 6. <--- this to me was ODD given that all of my previous orders have been processed immediately.

It is not that I minded the wait, it is more the fact that they drum it in your ear/eyes that it is a first come first serve service when we can clearly see in this thread (and others of the like) that it has been far from!

/end rant! :p
[Nexus 4 General] darkhorse10:
Which number did you call on mate?? I couldn't get connected at all.:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
Glad to hear you have some kind of confirmation at last :D

Did you mean 1-2 days ? If the order has ALREADY shipped then this is the first estimate of 1-2 WEEKS that I've heard of ?
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Yes mate, mine has jumped to the top with a date of January 2, 2013.

UK car charger that charges while using navigation?

Thought about asking in accessories thread but figured the UK one was more relevant. Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] grained:
mine too, my delivery was scheduled for the 16 Jan, now I wonder if this change is something good or bad
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
From previous posts its good, most people receive shipping mail shortly after date change....

Just waiting for people to start saying they have received the mail!!
[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
If you look closely to your order confirmation email, their 800 number should be included; 0800 328 6081.

You read correctly, 1-2 weeks! Iwish it was 1-2 days but hey we'll see. Nothing surprises me anymore...

I've got the case for it. I am just waiting on the back and screen protectors to arrive and i'll be set and ready.
[Nexus 4 General] druggeduk:
How does that make any sense? Your order is dispatched but TNT are going to take up to 2 weeks to deliver it?

If the order has genuinely been dispatched than the 1-2 weeks must be a mistake.

On my Inc S I use a cigarette USB plug and a standard USB cable. Charges my HTC fine
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Bit off topic i know, and only applies if there are people monitoring this thread who actually have their phone!

But what are peoples opinion of the bumper case, does it add much bulk/protection and is it worth buying?
[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
My sentiment exactly but hey, it's not like Google has done anything right so far, so it doesn't surprise me....It is one screw up after another... If the phone weren't such a bargain for all that it is made out to be, I would probably tell them to shove it :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
Has anyones order status in play changed from Pre-order?

My date has changed but status hasn't. Others have said that their status changed to pending then they received their device...
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Still pre-order, although date has changed.

Hoping this means they are processing a large batch for dispatch!
[Nexus 4 General] jayjay2244:
make that another one which has been update. Mine is a 16gb ordered on the 9th at 11pm.
[Nexus 4 General] Freement:
My order changed date and got bumped to the top, the next day it despatched so good luck guys.
[Nexus 4 General] LilDeamon:
I ordered on December 5th at about 1500 but no date change. Anyone with a similar date/time had a change?
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
did your order status change?

I really hope we get our phones by friday..or at least sometime next week.
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
That's not related to ordering the N4, but to the new ROM you installed. This is probably a port from a Nexus S rom. I've had that happen before.
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Yes me, ordered 5 December 2012 14:57:58 UTC .... had a date change to todays date, still pre-order and pending in wallet!
[Nexus 4 General] daffyduck2602:
Cheers..... My order dated the Dec 9, 2012 6:30:11 PM GMT, has updated today to the 2nd January. :thumbup:

Better get my micro sim organised and restore my Galaxy S2 to something more stable, to give to the missus.
[Nexus 4 General] Ollie_D:
Same situation here, ordered @ 14:30 and no change to my date, I'm hoping its just an oversight and will be updated soon.
[Nexus 4 General] rkcj:
Should have kept my trap shut, my date changed to 2nd Jan this afternoon. Hopefully, the shipping mail follows shortly.
[Nexus 4 General] LilDeamon:
Yes! Mine just changed to todays date. My exact order time/date is 5 December 2012 15:36:03 UTC so about 40 mins after you. Excited now, hopefully I'll get it before university starts again. :D
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
I've got no movement at all looks like mines has fallen in that unknown batch :mad: damn

So hard to see orders placed after mine getting movement.......cry cry
[Nexus 4 General] Exciliknite:
Order date: Dec 8, 2012 11:16:10 AM GMT.

Had a change to today's date as well.
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
You will probably have yours before me, mines got to travel overseas to the Channel Islands :(

Feel for the ones who are in the "unknown" batch though :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
My order from 6/12 changed to 2/1 but I'm not getting my hopes up to be honest. I think we've all seen people having the date updated and having to wait another two weeks..
[Nexus 4 General] kmax86:
My order on dec 11 now changed to Jan 2. wallet status still on dec 13 when "Google has received ur order"

I guess tahts a good sign :D
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
Does a final charge replace a reservation on the creditcard by the way? My creditcard is on the spending limit because of a charge Google placed three weeks ago. It's going to fall off today or tomorrow, but I'm afraid a new charge will be denied because of the old charge lowering my spending limit..
[Nexus 4 General] Floppyz:
Order Date: December 8, 2012 11:07:06 AM UTC-8

Dec 10 - Google Commerce Ltd received your order.

Estimated Ship: 6-7 weeks

Google play date changed to Jan 2, 2013

:laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
My Date just changed from the 8th of December to the 2nd of January. So excited. Hopefully it is not too long now! Still the same In GWallet. :D
[Nexus 4 General] the_crevis:
Ordered on the 7th of dec, 6-7 weeks delivery my order date in the play store just changed to the 2nd of jan too! :D
[Nexus 4 General] hhd7247:
looks like a lot of orders had the date changed today. hope google will ship our phones shortly!
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
Is everyone reporting changes like as soon as or have many not checked there status all day ?

Mine has been same all day, preparing for the worst....
[Nexus 4 General] Raitei:
Same with mine. From 5th Dec to 2nd Jan. Getting so impatient :p
[Nexus 4 General] LilDeamon:
I had been checking about every hour when it changed earlier today.
[Nexus 4 General] Ollie_D:
Been refreshing like a nutter every 30mins like its going to make a difference, this is what google have driven me to. As long as I get it before my 5-6 estimate I suppose I can't really complain.

Ordered 5th Dec @ 14:36 still no date change here.
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
Same here, I'm not worried about when I get it,

I'm concerned it may have a become a lost order, if i dont see a date change.
[Nexus 4 General] ChrisHRocks:
According to the UTi website my package was move from Birmingham to Dublin on the 27th of December

Transfer manifest arrived	28DEC/0000

and then nothing.

anyone else had experience like this?

Its the ultimate tease i'd drive the 101 miles to Dublin if I thought I could get it.
[Nexus 4 General] druggeduk:
That's the trouble google have got themselves in - many of us have no need to be concerned - we aren't supposed to get our phones for another couple of weeks, but because everyone else has had so many problems, it's got the rest of us worrying about everything too!

I hope it gets dispatched tonight or tomorrow simply because I'll be away from the address it's getting sent to for about 3 weeks after this weekend! If not, then, hey ho - I'm not the worst off compared to what others have been through!
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Is this the page which also includes all your last purchased apps? Mine still says december 8th :(
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
+1

I just want it to change to a delivery date, even if it is between 10th-16th.

Peace of mind please google
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
Yeah. Don't worry, I ordered on the 8th as well and it updated to the 2nd.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Hope mine isn't on back order D:
[Nexus 4 General] jackalomg:
OMG there is a rumor that the new batch of nexus 4 will not have the glittery back!
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
Mine was. I'd be more worried that it isn't forgotten. But as long as you get it before 23rd it should be fine. If we do, it is win,win.

So far as I know it is a manufacturing botch for devices that were built in China and not Korea. But it could be wrong/hoax. Even if it is gone it won't look as nice but as far as people have been saying it would make it more stronger so win.
[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
Update:

Credit card has been charged!!
[Nexus 4 General] EddyOS:
Not if it's a custom ROM. I'm on CM10 on my GNex and on Vodafone yet I get H+ when on 3G ;)
[Nexus 4 General] DjeMBeY:
Haha ;) My SGS2 runs on Siyah kernel, dual boot, CM10 JB & RootBox JB ;) Both systems shows H+ icon because SGS2 is HSDPA+ (up to 21Mbps) not DC-HSDPA+ (up to 42Mbps) where the icon stays the same.

Not in all areas H+ is shown, on slow connection I've got just H...

In real SpeedTests, Downloads on DC-HSDPA+ are on average Higher than on LTE 4G (UK & USA) ;)
[Nexus 4 General] JamesMcL13:
Can someone help me out here or give an opinion?

I have a samsung g s II, that I am selling to a phone recycle company for £166. I am going to buy the Nexus 4 16GB on the day of launch.

So that's £279 - £166 = £113 for the new Nexus.

I then found a deal on virgin mobile:

Essential SIM Only £17- 30 days rolling contract

SIM card cost FREE

Your tariff gives you:

1200 minutes any mobile or landline in UK anytime.

Unlimited texts

Unlimited Mobile Web

I spoke to an advisor, and they said, the texts and mobile web is truly unlimited and there is no fair usage policy for texts and Mobile web. Also tethering is allowed.

They said that I would get 7.2 mbps. Is that anygood?

So say I had this 1 month contract for 12 months. £17 * 12 = £204

I can get cash back from quidco, £57 for any new virgin mobile contract. £204-£57= £147

With my new nexus, £113, and the contract for 12 months after cashback, £147, the total cost would be £260.

What do you guys think?

I think it's an amazing deal considering I can cancel it with a months notice.
[Nexus 4 General] DjeMBeY:
I won't be so sure... Mobile web is not really for downloading Data. Tethering will be limited to surfing , No heavy usage and slow speeds..

Good deal for lite data user with plenty of minutes.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
How many minutes are you likely to use in a month?
[Nexus 4 General] JamesMcL13:
Can you recommend a company that allows for downloading a lot of data? Tethering is a must I feel as I have a nexus 7 as well, if I want to steam sky go and stuff. Thanks

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------

I can't really be sure. I have recently been going over my limit of 600 on my current contract quite a bit. So I thought 1200 would be safe enough. I hardly ever text, which is annoying. I wish I could just remove texts to bring the price down haha
[Nexus 4 General] DjeMBeY:
I'll choose Three Ultimate Internet SIM 600 - £15.90 /pm : 600 min ; 5000 txt ; All You can Eat Data...
[Nexus 4 General] Futura2000:
If anyone goes for a three contract and they want tethering it'll have to be the one plan they choose as that is the only one on three that allows tethering on.
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
Can you get quidco on the three Ultimate Internet SIM 200 1 month plan? Can't see it on there.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ----------

That deal is £18.90 here http://store.three.co.uk/view/searc...iceplan=PAY_MONTHLY&availableContractLength=1

Where can you see it for £15.90?
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Look for the 12-month version.
[Nexus 4 General] Makaijin:
Here;

http://store.three.co.uk/view/searchTariff?deviceType=SIM_ONLY&priceplan=PAY_MONTHLY&availableContractLength=12

The £15.90 version is a 12 month contract, £18.90 is 1 month.

You save £3 a month going 12 months, or £36 after a year. Good thing about mobile contracts in UK is that when the contract term ends, it changes to a 1 month rolling contract, while still paying the same (discounted) price. You aren't forced to renew the contract, unlike say a house renting contract.

So if plan to stay with 3 for a least a year, signing for 12 months might be a good idea. Especially as 3 are already rolling out DC-HSPDA+, 4G LTE licenses won't be auctioned until 2013. Even after the licenses are sorted it's going to take at least 6 months or even more before we see some decent rollout. We could be talking at least 2014 before the 4G starts to become widely available, by then your 12 month have long past it's mature date.
[Nexus 4 General] DjeMBeY:
12 months plan. ;) I think that tethering on this plan will work OK if you don't go crazy and start using too much ( 100GB+ /pm..)
[Nexus 4 General] threelions:
Just ordered a month payasugo off 3 to test connectability in my area. Hoping it works as my current contract with O2 is ending this month and their deals are terrible.
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
Thanks for all the answers, I think I'll just be going for 1month rolling.

How about quicdo on the ultimate 30 day sim deals. Is it available?
[Nexus 4 General] Makaijin:
Just look up the deals yourself.

http://www.quidco.com/three/

As mentioned earlier in the thread, you can "bolt on" all-you-can-eat data to any of the essentials plans for an extra £3.
[Nexus 4 General] warr3n:
I've been with Vodafone for 15 years and my Nexus S is out of contract.

I'm going to buy my Nexus 4 from Google Play and have just taken a new 12 month SIM only contract with Vodafone at £12.32 per month in return for which I get:

unlimited calls

unlimited texts

1GB per month (1st 3 months unlimited)

This was negotiated over the phone with Vodafone - they initially quoted me £24 per month and when I said I was seriously contemplating switching to Giff Gaff he quickly came up with the above deal.

So if your Voda contract is up for renewal get on the phone and negotiate!
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
I'm in a similar situation, been with Voda for 13 years and am buying the N4 on Tuesday. My 24 month contract is up at the beginning of next year. I'm more than happy to leave if they don't offer me something outstanding. I look forward to ringing them. :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
I went from Voda to Giffgaff last year. Their retentions offer was crap!
[Nexus 4 General] felleese:
I left them for three. When asked why i told them it was because i wanted unlimited internet, the chap at retentions tried to persuade me with a deal that cost the same as the one plan i found but with only 1gb. He then went onto say that the benefit of having limited internet is you switch it off when you don't need it so you don't slow anyone down. He didn't understand that i wanted internet so i can use it as much as possible.

Ever since asking for my PAC code Vodafone have tried to ring me at least six times a day. Had i already not signed up with three (I'm waiting for my sim to arrive) i would've entertained a few offers from them.
[Nexus 4 General] Azza_1:
Massive SIM Only deals thread - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/sev...ving-mins-txts-data-various-suppliers-1110944

Including cashback offers via Quidco and TCB. It's updated weekly usually on a Monday, and if anything significant happens during the week.

I ordered a Ultimate Internet SIM 600 from Three on Wednesday, TCB cashback tracked on Thursday, SIM card arrived today. Works out at ~£11.50 give or take a penny or two, a month for 12 months. Now I just need the N4 to put it in!
[Nexus 4 General] kash1786:
:eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
With the disbelief of that over, without sounding like an extremist, surely we are protected by law against a stunt like that?

Take our money for an order (it was not sold as pre-order, sold as order), then make us wait 3 weeks without communication because it was oversold?

I know the simple option is cancelling and getting your money back, but if true Google shouldn't be allowed to pull a stunt like that again.
[Nexus 4 General] vizzy:
Would it be possible to have a round up of all the places that sell the n4 and for how much in the OP?

Im willing to go out and pay 350 if it means I'm not waiting on Google's stock supply.
[Nexus 4 General] Baz8755:
If the 3 week wait is true it's a shame BBC watchdog is off the air.

So we have effectively been part of a very inefficient pre-order system :(
[Nexus 4 General] EroThraX:
This is all ridiculous. What is up with some people getting same day shipping and having it delivered today, whilst everyone else waits. I think there is even one person who ordered at 11am, got a shipment notification the same day and received the handset this morning.

It all just leaves a bad taste in regards to the play store. Everything that has happened with this launch are things which shouldn't be happening to a company of Google's size and expertise.
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
Bloody hell....that means that people that didn't order it will have to wait more than 3 weeks....if is like that i'm almost tempted to leave it and get another phone...i can't stay with this nokia that long...google is making me regret i sold my shiny s3 for this...

edit

only thing i'm happy for is, if this is true, all the ebay seller will be screwed ahahahahah
[Nexus 4 General] Armon2:
Different customer support assistants say different things. Would not hurt to wait a few days and see who's right. Canceling order loweres the chance of getting it in the next few days to 0.
[Nexus 4 General] G405T:
I realise anyone with the 'pre-order' status are not getting there orders any time soon; but there must be some kinda of mis-understanding somewhere. That sounds more like when they will have stock left for new orders! (or pre-orders)

If thats really how its going down now, Google had better be ready for some majorly dis-satisfied customers and cancellations.

I totally agree with the above post though, everyone is hearing different things from support. Best option for now is to wait a few days and stand a chance of getting it within a reasonable timeframe and at a reasonable price!
[Nexus 4 General] seaempty:
To be fair, I'm not sure if Google Support know exactly what's going on. I rang early, sharing the same concerns, but was told everything was fine.

It wouldn't surprise me if there is a stock issue, but I'd take what Google support say with a pinch of salt.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I might be getting 3 8GBs because of the ridiculous Play store so I might be able to sell a couple.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Sure, I'll do what I can once I get some more information. I have to make more phone calls. Unfortunately if I want to call Carphone Warehouse I have to PAY.. stupid 0845 numbers. :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
If you're not planning on selling them at eBay prices (and only break even using Play Store prices) then can I dibs one? :P
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
and when your ears will be whistling, don't worry, it's the guys over here on xda that didn't get one and they are cursing you :D
[Nexus 4 General] SIDKIMA:
I just called them and the guy told me i'd have shipping info by noon tomorrow. Yesterday they told me i'd have it by today. :/ I don't think you should've cancelled it. They probably told you that to free up some stock :P
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:

Thanks guys. I know about saynoto0870 but it doesn't work with any of the Southampton CPW stores, that was the first thing I tried. :P
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
OMG...wow...I've heard so many ridiculas things in these forums over the past few days, but that is the most stupid thing ever...:eek: , firstly believing the customer service rep and not questioning what he said and then canceling your Nexus 4 purchase....hahahaha..:silly:
[Nexus 4 General] oawalker:
the thing is before the nexus price was announced i was planning on buying one and the normal price for phones is around £500 and i was prepared to pay that much. So if its cheaper than that i am happy but it would be great to buy one form the play store
[Nexus 4 General] Nova163:
And you had the date changed to 2/1?

However much I get the excitement, without any additional information this post is useless to this thread.
[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
Not useless to those who have read my previous post where the information was posted...
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
Not sure if that can be done, we were sold a device with a glittery back, naturally we should expect to get what we paid for.

Have you received any shipping emails?

What is the status of your wallet & play store?

I hope this means it is a dispatch of devices. Let us know your order date too.
[Nexus 4 General] texaslittleangel:
This info was posted some 5-6 pages ago in great detail

EDIT: here's the info
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
I'm sure they'll offer a full refund on return of device if you're not happy
[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
Yep they should but we waited over 4 weeks and in the end get a refund.
[Nexus 4 General] j0ff:
Totally agree, and I will complain like hell if I end up with something different to what I ordered. But I do think we'll get little from Google other than the offer of a refund if the only option is a plain back :(
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
When you all say your date on google play has changed do you mean this?
[Nexus 4 General] CurtisD88:
Yes. On the bit were it says dec 8th on mine it now says 2nd Jan
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Ah I see I hope mine changes soon!
[Nexus 4 General] Moonie17:
Will people be so kind and keep us updated on here as and when they receive their shipping mails :)
[Nexus 4 General] capt_carl:
Date changed yesterday as with everyone else, No shipping emails so far.

[Nexus 4 General] ifti_a:
No change for me since yesterday :confused:

I don't understand what is happening........
[Nexus 4 General] markad1:
