This.

That's where my SGS2 is going, second highest I've seen - Asda Recycle offer £3-£5 more but I don't like the look of their terms and conditions.
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
If I keep the screen packaging protector thing on for a while, while using this phone, will the drawings on it burn in or anything? Just want a second opinion :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] hx4700 user:
Have a look at the money saving expert's phone valuer

Even O2 recyle is offering Recycle your Samsung Galaxy S II i9100

£145.00

cash

or I'll take it off your hands!

I'm still running my HD2 having waited for this new Nexus since the HTC one X launched with low memory and battery, and then the S3 proved to have such a dim screen for outdoor viewing. I was trying since just before 8am to get a Nexus 4 but failed to even get an option to buy until 11ish, when it just told me I had nothing in my basket.
[Nexus 4 General] Mikk36:
No, don't worry about such things.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
No chance at all. I'm leaving mine in for now.
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
Same thing just happened to me. Ohhhh man, this isn't good. Only ordered 1 Nexus 4. As soon as it became available for me from F5'ing on launch (8:33am).

What a waste of time and energy if this is true.

Exercise is the best medication for anxiety!!

IMO stop the prescription, eat healthy, exercise and sleep....avoid things that stress you out too....also, no alcohol, drugs or cigarettes.

Much more efficient way of tackling anxiety. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
After at least 20 years of anxiety and lots of doctors visits, I think I'll stick with what I've got working =P. It's social anxiety though. The talking to people kind.
[Nexus 4 General] smileyanz:
Totally agree with you lol that's if you have a battery to remove by flipping the case open. That's why there's going to be lots of sad faces out there. A simple fact is someone using it heavy over sustained periods are in for a shock and there's no getting away with it. Its going to need to be replaced. Just one of the reasons people are shifting from applesaurus!!!! Actually apart from open source the second most reason. Who is going to want a secondhand phone with a Deadish battery , I suppose you you could have it fitted or have a go yourself but to do that would be costing you money and the person buying it will by then know the SCORE!! and have not only second thoughts but lol third and fourth thoughts!!! It may be a lovely phone to use but not one which will hold its money's worth!!
[Nexus 4 General] shaneZ95:
So I've had the handtec Nexus 4 16GB page open and earlier tonight the site went down & came back up when i happened to be on it and there was a pre-order button! So i went warp speed and pre-ordered a 16GB and its gone through fine, confirmation emails, order number on account section bla bla, than i go back to the product page and its back too "coming soon!", did i manage to order when the site was only just back up and accidentally displaying a pre-order button or did pre-order places wipe out that quick? I doubt it as no one on here seems to have noticed it came up. :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
I saw that the nexus 10 16gb temporarily went back up on play store
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
Think it's just a mistake, still saying coming soon, the only thing I can see changed is the layout of the website.

Maybe updating that they update with the wrong page...also i didn't get any news mail from them
[Nexus 4 General] shaneZ95:
Haha i wonder what they'll think of me putting through a pre-order than :cool: they should know eager eyes such as me would jump on any mistake, if it is they'll probably just cancel the pre-order i'd imagine, anyhow i already emailed them asking if it was an accident but guess ill have to wait till Monday for a reply.
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
Still showing as a pending transaction on my Barclaycard so money instill ringfenced unlikesome on here....
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
I just had my money taken off hold, when I previously didn't realise- it looked like there was only 200 quid on hold so thought it was a transfer in pending. , but account has just gone back up by 280 quid. Weird.
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
Ordered from o2. With the £100 open discount and £50 quidco it takes the price down to £282 :D
[Nexus 4 General] smileyanz:
Ah someone getting it for around the price its worthy of, fair play to ya,
[Nexus 4 General] 3dawg:
Wait wait, how do I do this? Please help me :P

Im familiar with Quidco but how do I get this open discount?
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Yea lol please explain
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Ordered from O2 online yesterday afternoon - They said that had stock - Just had an online chat with an assistant & he tells they are out of stock.

I was on their site with my finger on 'buy' as I chatted to a rep & he said yes there in stock as I pressed buy.

Whey do people lie, if there out of stock just say, ffs.

Cancelled my order - F'em
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
£50 is for taking out a 12 month contract?
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
£180 for the phone and £10.50 a month for 24 months = £432 - £100 O2 open discount - £50 quidco = £282

O2 open is a discount from O2 if your employer used them.

---------- Post added at 08:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 AM ----------

Just spoke to them. They've told me it's in stock and will be dispatched Monday for delivery on Tuesday. I ordered last night at 10pm.
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
I just don't believe it :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] KrishB26:
Cant you cancel the contract within 7 days as well?
[Nexus 4 General] ticktime:
There is not a way of applying O2 open online. You can only do this in store or over the phone. So it is 179.99 + 10.5 * 24 - 100 = 332.
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Just chatting now & there in stock - I was told at 7.50 am there weren't in stock.

Just spoke to the Huddersfield branch of O2 & they are all LOCKED to O2
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
This isn't true.
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Not dissing you mate but how do you know
[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
Because loads of us have already said so in this thread. They aren't locked, it has been tested several times with every network now.
[Nexus 4 General] Baz8755:
With regard to my pending order with Google I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to change the order so that the phone is not linked to my Google account, I don't really like the idea of someone playing with my new toy before me
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Cheers - So why are they saying they are, I didn't even ask, he just said they locked you are aware of that
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
O2 have been telling everyone they're locked. Seems a deliberate policy to try to keep you on their network.
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
Spoke to them before ordering and the open discount can be applied by calling them or speaking to someone on online chat within the first 14 days of contract.
[Nexus 4 General] liam6576:
just an update, I got my nexus 4, although My friend got the shipping info the same day it was delivered.
[Nexus 4 General] ianeb:
The O2 handsets are NOT locked, I am using one right now with a 3 sim in it! No branding, splash screens NOTHING....

I can't believe O2 are still informing people they are locked, and people believe them despite numerous owners confirming on this site that they are NOT locked!!

It was even on Google+, one of the Android blogs I subscribe to reported on it.

:good:

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

Am I missing something.....:confused:

On the lock screen I only have the option to swipe and unlock, is there not supposed to be a swipe up for Google Now and left for Camera? Or is that just something custom roms add in?

It's also annoying that there is no Battery % why would Google not include this?

This is my first Pure Google phone so excuse the dumb questions! I have been using Samsung products for the last year and iPhones before that :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] footboydog:
My local O2 shop is out of stock. They have one on demo though so I might go and take a look. Carphone warehouse still refuse to sell them PAYG or SIM free.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Thanks all. I luckily ordered the O2 Recycle package last weekend while the price was still £152 so it's valid for 14 days (7 days now) so will be using them. I looked around before ordering and everyone was less with the exception of Asda but that was only a few pound different. They say on the site you can also use O2 Recycle in store but would be interesting if they'd honour the price I've got from their site with my reference, that would be even better if they could as means I could get the money there and then :)

When I said I'm writing it off I meant as in against the N4 price just in case you thought I was gonna throw it away lol

hx4700: I had the HD2 before my S2 and can say was the most versatile phone ever and probably still is.
[Nexus 4 General] ticktime:
Thank you so much. Ordered now. Cheaper than from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
GF Is gonna call shortly for one, hope they are still in stock.

I got a twitchy bum about them being locked though - I know you guys wouldn't talk bull like the O2 guys
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
I'm not seeing this deal on the O2 website. Cheapest they do is £13.50 and that's with a measly 100mb of data so pretty useless. Cheapest with data is £26 and £300 for the phone!

So £180+24*13.5=504 minus £50 quidco = £454
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
You can remove the data (£3), which makes it £10.50, and with £50 quidco and £100 open it's cheaper than buying from google. Even if the quidco doesn't pay it's still only £40 more, and with (hopefully) less hassle.
[Nexus 4 General] MadCobbler:
The lockscreen has changed a little by the looks of it... look at the very bottom of the screen when you unlock there should be a little circle of dots, thats your Google Now, as far as the camera goes, when you get the unlock screen press on far right of screen and swipe left (like you would if you were changing homescreens) and that will bring camera up, where as if you go to left side of screen and swipe right, you can choose a shortcut for there... not sure whether I like it yet :D
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
Just come out the O2 shop in Lakeside. They've got one on display but they are not selling them PAYG cos its "their first batch". The chap also told a lie, he said it is locked to O2. We all know thats a lie!
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Still got pending transaction

Hi

Barclaycard are still showing the £288 pending transaction - some people say theirs has gone.

Mine is still there

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] KrishB26:
how do you get this £100 O2 open?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
They are missing out of the box. You will get an OTA update that adds them.
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
It's an employer discount scheme.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I thought the OTA removed the shortcuts and then added the lockscreen widgets?
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
Mine is still pending in my google wallet
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
GF Has just picked one up from o2 shop - Just waiting for her to get home to slip my Virgin sim in
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Hah, I misread it... I thought he was complaining about the lack of widgets :o
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
Mine order is still pending, but they have released the hold on the funds. Before they hadn't taken the money directly, but i wasn't able to spend it as it was taken out of my available funds. Now i am able to spend it again, which means they are going to have to request the money again.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
If you select no data it won't let you select the N4, and if you select the £13.50 tariff and checkout there's only the option to select between 100mb and 500mb.

£382 is tempting nevertheless (no employee discounts here).. Then you had to go and mention the risk of quidco not paying! :p
[Nexus 4 General] Barso1:
I have just gotten off the phone to the google help-desk and they shipped my phone using a company called UTi.

It appears they can not find where the phone is because no-one knows who UTi are.

They say they attempted one delivery but on-one was in yet I my house has always had someone in.

Screw this company, what a joke.
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
Yeah I just went into my local O2 and they're not selling it on PAYG for a few weeks apparently.
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
I tempted to go back to the Gnex
[Nexus 4 General] Baz8755:
Just got off the phone to Google as I wanted to see if I could change my order to not have the phone linked to my account.

The gentleman didn't have a clue, as soon as he bought up my account details he said it showed delivery date of 15th and did I want to raise a ticket to find out if credit card had been declined. I tried to explain to him that it would be pointless as the problem was that they had sold out.

After several fustrating minutes on the phone I decided to just tell him I would call back later.

Scary that they still don't seem to have a clue.
[Nexus 4 General] adamski123:
What number did u use to contact Google?

---------------------------------

sent from either my one x or nexus 7. If anybody is selling or trading a note 2 then pm me :D
[Nexus 4 General] Barso1:
I am currently trying for them to refund my order.

I am now 100% positive that their maps will come to the iphone5 as I have now figured that google need apple more than apple need them.

[Nexus 4 General] xxnoelziexx:
Phone arrived this morning from o2 at 10am. I set the phone up and everything is working well :) Yes like I said paying the extra has it's pros and cons but it's done now and i don't have to wait.

Coming from the S3 the phone is built so much better it feels so nice in the hand and I am very happy with the screen too.

The only issue is a faint buzzing which has been mentioned tested 3 handsets which have all had this issue.

The phone rattles just like the 4s it must be the camera auto focus mec as the sound is identical even my Iphone 5 does the same.

Of to setup some more Apps.
[Nexus 4 General] Dannyboyni:
Does any one know if B&Q is involved in the O2 Open offer?
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
The cheeky sods have the price as £279 plus VAT, rather than £279 including VAT like Google.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
I really don't think they do. Android phones massively outnumber iPhones now, the revenue from them must be eye watering.
[Nexus 4 General] Brodel:
As long as the price difference isn't too much, I think I'll end up buying it from somewhere other than Google. I'm worried that if there is a problem and I do need to return it that Googles returns service will be an absolute nightmare considering how this whole release has been handled. I'd rather spend and extra £20-30 to get it from somewhere I would feel more comfortable returning it to if I had to.
[Nexus 4 General] xxnoelziexx:
Nobody will be matching google price for this handset.

£334.80 plus delivery is the cheapest unless your getting some type of discount.

I would pay the extra and get better customer service in the process. They can't even sell a product correctly could you imagine their returns process if faulty oh dear.

I paid £399.99 from o2 and if I have problems i know where i will be going straight to the shop.

Trust me £334.80 for the phone is a steal.
[Nexus 4 General] raikesy:
You are aware that having it linked to your account or not has absolutely no bearing on receiving the phone by a certain date? I ordered mine at 08:29 on Tuesday, linked to my account and had it delivered 10:30 Thursday (16GB)
[Nexus 4 General] Stretlow:
Couldn't be bothered waiting, got it from 02 this morning.
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
Just to warn you, you are not allowed to promote GiffGaff in your user sig. :)
[Nexus 4 General] AngryRabidBadger:
A three week wait is frankly utterly ridiculous.

Yet the online press are gushing over the launch as an "overwhelming sellout"

Seems pointless to reward that level of incompetence when we don't even know what the stock levels were
[Nexus 4 General] Stretlow:
didnt know, shall remove.

thanks for the heads up
[Nexus 4 General] nikzDHD:
No probs happened to me someone reported me to mods!
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Can confirm an O2 bought Nexus 4 works fine with a Virgin Mobile sim card.

How sneaky & deceitful can O2 employees be...Poor show.

If I'd listened to the shop staff I wouldn't be sitting here with my shiny new sim free Nexus 4.

Thanks all round to you guys on here:good:
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
REMINDER:

O2 Nexus 4 devices are exactly the same as the Play Store ones.

They are unlocked, have no custom software or start screens and aren't physically branded.

Several people on this thread can confirm this, myself included. The only different is the O2 devices are horrendously overpriced, but they are in-stock.

(Stock may be limited. Contact your local store for more details. Kittens not included.)
[Nexus 4 General] Stretlow:
A manager on the phone, swore blind last night it was locked I offered him a bet.... He declined.

Got one myself from o2 today in Manchester
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Ahahahaha! Legend!!
[Nexus 4 General] martindar:
not locked

they are not locked ive got a 16gb one from 02 and there is no branding at all on the phone- m:)

[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
For anyone who's interested, I did a test on Three's DC-HSDPA network last night on the Nexus 4.

I'm utterly gob-smacked. I had no idea it was going to be this fast. It's better than my broadband connection!
[Nexus 4 General] B97:
This is my first ever speed test, straight after buying it on Tmobile:
[Nexus 4 General] jtc42:
So at this point in time, is the cheapest readily-available way to get the N4 still the £399 pay+go deal on O2? Assuming we don't get O2 Open discounts.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
What's the O2 open discount? It's one year I'm in london with o2 simplicity sim. I really bored I have to wait 3 weeks for the nexus 4 so can you let me know what's that open discount? So i can check and maybe go to the shop :good:
[Nexus 4 General] adamski123:
I think so yeah, sadly I don't have enough for 399 so I will have to try my luck again at the 2nd batch

[Nexus 4 General] jtc42:
I'm in exactly the same boat. Making alternative Christmas plans as I really don't think I'll be able to get one before next year. If the first lot went in 30 minutes, I have a feeling the next couple of batches will go the same way.
[Nexus 4 General] adamski123:
Yeah ikr, I may actually ask for a nexus 10 or something similar for Xmas and wait till the new yr if I don't get it in the 2nd batch

I'm gonna keep testing just to see if I can beat that.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Damn O2 stores not answering their phone and CPW have 0845 or whatever numbers lol Gonna go shopping in a mo and see if the CPW store has any more info as to when they'll be allowed to sell off contract as can't be bothered going into town as is rammed on a Saturday.
[Nexus 4 General] AppReviewBros:
They said that most likely it will be available next week.
[Nexus 4 General] jabbeboy:
Okey, so no phone delivery this week then? :(:(

i know a guy, he said he got a mail from google wallet,said it were delivered and should be expected within 1-4 days.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
Loads of different things have been said for delivery I guess we will need to wait until tomorrow to find the actual answer.
[Nexus 4 General] pav4n:
Going to order a 16GB tomorrow but still not ordered a contract to run the thing on, was going to go for the three deal with the AYCE data addon before they stopped that, have a contract with a HTC desire on T-Mobile so going to try the retention route as I'm going to cancel either way and see how low they are willing to go, can't wait to get my mits on it tho.
[Nexus 4 General] DHTC:
Wow, same as me, currently paying £10 for 300 mins, unlimited txts n 3gb internet. Was £6.50, 2 months ago as i finished my 12 month renewal with them. So yeah going to see what retentions can offer.
[Nexus 4 General] vizzy:
I'm on virgin, 17 a month with 1200 mins and unlimited text and data. Going to purchase the 16gb as soon as I can tomorrow.

[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Argh, I hoped for midnight
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
I'm on Three, £27 a month with 500 mins, 5000 texts and 1GB data. Keep in mind this contract came with a Samsung Galaxy S and is almost two-years-old now.

Figured that might have been the case. Might go to sleep, get up and 7:30, buy the phone at 8:00 and then go back to bed until whenever, haha.
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
They were taking pre orders? At what price?
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
On Three, 'Sim Zero' w/3GB data for £5 a month.

Chances of getting another deal like that.. close to zero :(
[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
At the price of £31 per month for 2 years...

[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
I noticed that earlier. It did seem a little suspicious and off-beat, but at the same time it didn't. I didn't really think anything of it.

I think I'm going to use Google Play over iTunes now, haha! *google4eva*
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:

[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
A link is provided for Cashback on Three, but I'm not applying it to the chart because not everyone is going to want to use the cashback option, but thanks for the suggestion. :)
[Nexus 4 General] Azza_1:
Ah okay fair enough. Don't forget TopCashBack, generally seem to have better overall rates (My Three SIM 600 UI order tracked at £52.69) and no annual fee.

Google Support

So I just called the 247 Google play number..

And although the rep said she can't confirm this she said:

1) It will most likely be released in about 6hrs (Pacific Midnight)

2) Should be able to order up to 10

3) Process will take 1-2 days, and shipping 2-3 days thereafter

The wait shall go on!!

ps. Happy Diwali!
[Nexus 4 General] aoprea:
who ordered last time from google and when?

which was the total purchase price?

279 pounds + VAT + transport = ???

Any idea when the sale will occur again ?

thanks
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Please share any info you get. :D I'll add it to the OP. :)
[Nexus 4 General] tyraelasd:
Can someone bo so kind of telling me if there is a Nexus 4 available off contract on T-mobile in the UK? If so, how much would it be for the phone + taxes and so on? Or if there isnt, do you think is being selled off contract in other store ?

Thank you very much
[Nexus 4 General] nightmare911:
When you order from play store the 279 is with tax and shipping cost 10 pounds so the overall price would be 289 pounds.
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
How do you remove the data? In the basket I can only choose between the 100mb and 500mb
