Did you sell your phone in anticipation of the nexus 4 only to be ****ED at the final hurdle? I have been without a phone for a while now.

I expect there to be a mad free for all like last time when they do eventually come back up on the store. I wanted to avoid that fiasco entirely.
[Nexus 4 General] Mikk36:
According to the previous posts on that topic: yes.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Before I bought my Nexus 4 I tweeted them a few times asking if they had any free TVs left to give away :)

Buying from O2 is a no-brainer if you get confirmation for the TV. I'll stand by saying that Google will be the only company selling the phone at a subsidized price.
[Nexus 4 General] daveyjam:
Oops, sorry
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Yup, that's it. Play time!!! :D

Agreed. The TV makes this ridiculously good value for me. The perks alone was worth it for me - The subsidised broadband :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] meangreenie:
Anyone have a crystal ball, or inside knowledge, to say when they will be available to buy again from google?

it's becoming a long wait.
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
How have you guys been doing it? Ordering the phone on 24 month £13 contract. Then cancel the data bolt on? Are you going to pay off the contract when the TV comes in etc?
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
They have already said that once more stock comes in they will be filling backorders FIRST , then when they have finished doing that they will put it up for sale on Google play store.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Google have made it clear that they will be prioritising backorders. So it could well be 3 weeks+.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:58 PM ----------

Yes.

I'm going to leave it running so that I can receive discount on my broadband and O2 Piority moments should come in handy.
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
seems like they've still got TV's available.

I had to call multiple stores to find one with stock.

Not sure if the Central CS will be able to confirm stock - online reps werent' able to.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:02 PM ----------

I agree with both points - hence the O2 contract.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
Went into the O2 store and bought the Nexus 4 on contract: £179.99 for the phone and £13.50 per month for 24 months.

The guy in the store said (could be bullsh*t) that they can't remove the £3 data add-on in store as they have to sell data with all smartphones. However, he told me that I could call the customer service team and they'd remove it for me and it was as easy as that. Called them and they removed it for me.

So the cost is 179.99 + (10.50 x 24) = £431.99 (£32 more than the handset-only price)

I have the £431.99 in one of my bank accounts ready to pay. I'll probably pay off the contract a month after I receive the TV.

I asked O2 beforehand if they still had TVs available since I was about to buy a Nexus 4. They told me they did and then they followed me, telling me that I should DM them my information. Did this, got the confirmation and I now wait for a nice new TV :)

Perfect timing as well. Our livingroom TV broke last week and we were going to buy a standard LED 32" Samsung for £300! My sister gave me £140 so the TV can go in the livingroom.

£431.99 - £140 = £291.99, the cost of everything for me :D

Perfect timing for Christmas as well!
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
I got the same but it was removed within minutes over O2 chat :)
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
+1

chat to them or do it via their My O2 link.
[Nexus 4 General] ste1164:
They have to sell the phone with the £3 bolt on, you will get charged for it for one month. Then its removed.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
I had mine removed an hour after I purchased it. I will not be charged for it, I was told.

Has anyone in UK received any free movies from the play store?
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
so was it £13.50 or £10.50 per month:confused: which would then take you to £503.99
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
What you mean? Where from?

Regards,
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Thanks for that mate, much appreciated. I don't suppose you or anyone else who can DM O2 could check if they are still likely to have stock on the TV's tomorrow morning? O2 didn't respond to my tweet. Don't want to go through all the bother of signing up only to find they dont have any TV's left!
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
O2 here as well, fantastic deal. Depending in how much i can sell the tv for the costs me £130 to £150 :victory: what a bargain :laugh:

In a few months time my Tmobile sim card contract end so i'll renew or i'll ask O2 if they can add more data to my plan so i'll keep it.

If you can, get this deal because after you get the telly and you sell it you can always pay off the contract.

Happy days.

---------- Post added at 05:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:43 PM ----------

Only took me 10 min to do the contract, then you tweet them if you can't get it take it back. Do not open the phone.

I believe that they have tvs because if you go to their twitter account there isn't a lot of tv tweets.

[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
Why do i have two cameras in the apps?
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
one is the new 4.2 one,i got 2 when i rooted and 2 galleries
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
But i am not rooted?
[Nexus 4 General] Korv:
Did you log in with your google account that you use on a Nexus 7?

You may of downloaded the camera launcher from your n7 and now it's on there.
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
That was the problem, thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
+1

I did exactly the same... Just make sure you don't open the phone until you get the confirmation for the TV
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I'm lucky I got a confirmation DM as the man in the O2 store opened the box and put in the SIM! Touching another man's phone... :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
i wont be amused if i'm too late for a tv on this one. ordered online yesterday at 2pm with delivery today.... o2 have just dispatched it, that is not next day delivery when you take 29 hours to dispatch it
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
I've seen people tweeting pics of their pc screens with the order confirmation so you could always tweet a pic of that and say receipt will be on the way when it gets here then dm them the delivery note with phone pic it arrives.
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Todays phone call to google

Hi

This is the text of the email

Jools
[Nexus 4 General] WhiteHartMart:
Hope you get one - O2 are ignoring me completely since telling me online orders don't count for a TV :(
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Ok all sorted. Sent a tweet with picture of phone and reciept to O2 with #lifeisgood. That should be ok? How long does it take for confirmation to come through usually?
[Nexus 4 General] JeepoUK:
Got to play with a Nexus 4 at a o2 shop today.....wanted it soooo bad. It really is beautiful! Come on Google! Any updates today folks?
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
For me it was around 30 minutes to 1 hour, tops. Remember, later on in the evening they seem to answer more technical questions and they also finish around 8pm (I'm sure?).
[Nexus 4 General] ermacwins:
What the duration of the o2 contract?
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
here's hoping they change their mind, the T&Cs say an o2 store but if they say no i'll tell them i'm returning the phone and going down the shop instead and see what they say. sent them my confirmation mail already and the phones due before 11:30 tomorrow so heres hoping they let this count, dont fancy the hassle of buying another one and returning the one that's on it's way, especially when people have apparantly got one from online orders before

it's 24 months
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
Brother just opened his nexus 4. Damn it's nice.

Dat screen

Dat stock android

Oooo baby, dat s(n)exy back!

I've not opened mine yet, I'm gonna wait till I get my protectors and case or the weekend just to make sure it's ok and untouched
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
I did that yesterday but they didn't accept it. Has to be an in store purchase...

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

I tweeted them on the same lines but they wouldn't agree... Had to drive to a store and take another contract out...
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Duuuude. Seriously. Wut? LOL. Just leave the plastic on and enjoy it. You're taking the desi fetish with plastic wrapping a little too far! :laugh:

That's shocking! Everyone who bought it on PAYG they agreed to honour the deal. That stinks!
[Nexus 4 General] alchemistkevin:
24 months...

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

None from Google... No updates in the wallet either...
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
I went in O2 and touched it... I shouldn't have... Now the girlfriend wants one Haha... Such a beautiful phone.
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
Lol, when I get a phone, the first thing I do is get a screen protector, it must be done, if I'm keeping it for a year or 2, I don't wanna be looking at scuffs and scratches.

I'm not sure what's more desi, getting nexus 4 from google play for £280 or getting it from O2 because of the free tv promo :)
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
That sucks, got a feeling that might happen to me, will be coming home via an o2 store if it does and the online one will be returned. Seems mad as the terms don't state a shop or that online orders don't count
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
goo.gl/dFuAQ

CyanogenMod 10.1 is coming soon!! :
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
LOL! I've never gotten along with screen protectors, so I don't mind a couple of marks.

Awesome. Although I doubt I'll be using any rooms. MIUI might be tempting!
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Yeah nothing from them yet. They are still tweeting though. Think its worth me resending tomorrow morning? Would hate to miss out on this now!
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
I done the same thing, the thought of buying from o2 even though its a waste of money is so tempting
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
I bought the nexus today and put my Ultimate Internet SIM 200 1 month three sim in it. For some reason I am able to do tethering even though I'm not paying the extra £5 a month for it?

Anyone know why this is?
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Yes. I tweeted them every couple of hours!
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I noticed that over the last few days they haven't replied to TV related tweets later at night. You'll probably find that they tweet you in the morning but just in case, you should tweet them a few times tomorrow morning :) Good luck!
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Tethering is done via the phone. As long as you have data you will be able to tether through your device.

The T&C specify tethering for data usage/allowance purposes.
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
So why would I want to add £5 tethering option three give you?
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
How long before you heard from them?
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Exactly. **** em.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
+1 on that
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
You may get a message advising you can't tether etc. Some companies are quite strict about it but others are more willing to let it go unless they feel you are hammering it and use it as a get out just in case they need to restrict usage.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
You may also want to retweet #lifesgood as opposed to #lifeisgood as the first is the specific one they asked for but seem to have still picked up a couple of the others. They replied asking me to follow them within the hour but I didn't respond till the following day when I got mine. Luckily I was in there before the change of T's and C's and got mine on PAYG.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
A few hours each way until they confirmed. About a day in total.
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
But if you do a reverse DNS lookup on the public IP addresses that devices on O2 use for internet access, you'll see the domain resolves to one with a "0" rather than an "O" e.g.

nslookup 82.132.216.171

Name: dab-bas2-h-39-1.dab.02.net
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Thanks for that. Have done again with #lifesgood slighty worried now though looking at the amount of people who are tweeting that to O2!
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
You thought at the time the 3 weeks estimate was simply Google trying to get some breathing space, but the more days that pass without much progress....

From an outsiders POV, it's really difficult to actually believe it should take LG and Google 3 weeks to manufacture and start providing more units.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
i hope they are all sitting in a warehouse......thats about to be burgled
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
The battery in this thing is awesome. My Nexus 4 was 100% at 8.30am and it's now on 14%. I've been checking emails, Twitter, Facebook, downloading apps and streaming music (thanks Google Music!) throughout the day.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
is that a hoops badge in your sig
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
It is mate!
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Mine's acceptable but battery isn't something I monitor or worry about with any phone as long as I can plug it in over night and then take it off in the morning, the time in between it can go from 100 to 1 it doesn't bother me but generally is circa 30% when it goes on charge. Just checked now after reading your post and after 15h 37m 24s it's at 44% with the following usage:

Screen: 1h 34m 58s

Media server: 55m 10s

Google Play Music: 53m 25s

A few Android bits

XDA Premium: 5m 31s

WiFi: 2h 50m 36s with the rest on data

I'd say that's about average for me but never understood why the Media server and music app (no matter which I use) share the awake time nearly 50/50 as thought the music app would be the full time I use it so circa 2 hours a day. Oh well something for me to figure out, but was same on my S2 running JB.
[Nexus 4 General] iWannaBeAdored:
I'm the same about the plugging in the morning and night. It does the job anyway!
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
nice one HH
[Nexus 4 General] shaneZ95:
So are o2 no longer accepting anyone tweeting their PAYG N4s?
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
the terms got changed to not include payg handsets, i think they honoured a couple for those that were buying the phone as they changed the terms but no more now.
[Nexus 4 General] alexwolf47:
I am not sure if selling something is allowed on this forum, but because of the craziness with google play and the free TV offer at o2 I have ended up with a spare Nexus 4.. And I just wanna get it to someone rather than have it sit on my desk for another week or two.

I have it on eBay but would prefer to get it to someone who is desperate to get one! I bought it at o2 along with mine and hopefully will be getting two TVs as part of the promotion. The box is still sealed but I can open it to confirm it is unlocked (not all of them are) before you make a trip across to West London.. I was up at 8 last Tuesday as well but after seeing the o2 promotion I gambled and was relying on the free TVs to make it worth it, and now I have an extra Nexus 4! If you are interested contact me at alexwolf47@gmail.com .
[Nexus 4 General] shaneZ95:
So a definitive no & their strict on this now so wouldn't be worth trying if i did get a o2 N4?
[Nexus 4 General] Devzz:
Just to confirm, they all are definitely unlocked! :) Google doesn't allow any nexus branded phone to be locked to specific carriers

[Nexus 4 General] ianm:
My replacement device for a faulty one had been dispatched from the Play store last night.

I contacted them on the 16th reporting the fault and the order for the replacement (16GB) went through that evening.
[Nexus 4 General] WhiteHartMart:
No free TV for me with my online O2 contract. I've hassled them on Twitter for 2 days now and not had a single reply to my question tweets or DMs. Looks like they are just ignoring me :(
[Nexus 4 General] yinkus:
So they have ✆ Nexus 4 in stock then

---------- Post added at 10:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ----------

Good to know battery life is good, especially as it can't be replaced
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Well that sucks, if they still have TVs I'll be coming home via o2 tonight, trouble is they don't answer the phone to know if they actually have any in stock, might try Westfield, its further but I'd think its more likely to have it in stock
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:

137 tv's left with O2! they'are no longer issuing them to PAYG owners.
[Nexus 4 General] WhiteHartMart:
I'm still fighting the decision. They have said there are still 137 TVs left though :)

**beaten to that last comment** ;)
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
They just sent me a tweet, online isn't eligible so looks like you are right, questioning them on the terms and hopefully they won't ignore me, mine might be going back though if I can get down a shop before the last 100 odd TVs go
[Nexus 4 General] steviewevie:
They will still have a separate stock for warranty replacement. That's totally different from stock to sell.

Yes ;)

Thanks and good luck to everyone that still waits in limbo ;)
[Nexus 4 General] ianm:
Hopefully, but they may just have stock aside for warranty issue and I got fast tracked.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Well they won't budge on the online thing so guess that lovely n4 on the side at home is destined to go back to o2 in favour of an identical model on the same contract that was bought from a shop :what:
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
QUICK POLL. THE VOLUME ROCKER RATTLES ON MY NEXUS 4. DOES YOURS??

I've seen 3 N4's. 2 rattled. The forums will tell you it's a common issue. LG customer support just told me NO-ONE has rang about it! They had an N4 and confirmed theirs didn't rattle. I logged it with them and will probably exchange mine after I receive TV, I'm not putting that in jeopardy! I told them I am logging it with them now in case it gets worse (as it potentially could). They created a file and noted the IMEI. I'm not worried as it's fully covered by warranty anyway. Obviously LG customer services will try to push you in to exchanging it at point of purchase (02) as it's so much easier for all parties concerned. Usually.

Hi folks, sorry just to buzz the thread for answers but I'm just about on my way down to the nearest o2 shop (phoned ahead and they have stock)

yes it should

In-store contract options are pretty pathetic. Tell them you want the 24 month £10.50 + £3.00 data bolt-on contract & are happy to pay £179 upfront for the phone.

(that's if you're getting the contract for the phone & the TV and not for the SIM)
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
It is a really nice phone, iv got a slight rattle, but you have to shake it to hear it and put it next to your ear, its def the camera lens though, not the volume rocker, its the same on my ipod touch 5g
[Nexus 4 General] :
My iPhone 4S rattles, all 3 that I've had (apple store replacements), something to do with the camera lense. I wouldn't worry too much.

---------- Post added at 11:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:09 AM ----------

This is precisely why I'm waiting. The N10 is back 'in stock', effectively allowing you to pre-order, it can't be long until the N4 is the same. My 4S will keep for now.
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
You know, I think there is an O2 contract that's something like £20 a month for 500 mins(could be 200 mins, not sure), unlimited texts and 500mb data and about £150 for the phone, give or take £20. It's in the medium data section.

I'm sure that works out better value for money than 50 minuets for £10 since you actually could use 200 mins within a month rather than 50 mins?

Just a theory. I'm not sure about the numbers but I'm pretty close. :)
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
how much profit you got on it?

Edit

About the rattle...usually is the autofocus and every modern phone does it...I can hear mine just flipping the phone if I'm in a quiet place
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
My rattles. Got it from o2 should I get it replaced?

Does the phone comes with plastic around the edges because mine didn't only front and back, just wondering in case someone returned this one because of the rattle thing and they gave it to me.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyLeMesmer:
Mine just had plastic front and back, there's a slight rattle but only if you hold it up to your ear, and I think it's been explained it's the camera.
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
Trouble I I think most here like their unlimited data sim only plans, I'd rather pay £10 here then another £10 to tesco who give me unlimited data than £20 to o2 for 500mb. Works out a bit more but I dont get moaned at for using up my 500mb
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
LOL - My bad :D
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
Me too!

There's no chance I would pay an extra 150 quid to get it a month earlier...i will sit and wait even though I have 400 quid in coins (my change pot!), so in theory i could walk into O2.

I managed to drop and break my Desire Z last week so moved onto an old blackberry curve (nice phone but very limited internet etc) and now I have an old htc wildfire which is horrendous.

I'm continuously alternating between this thread and the play store as I can't imagine we'll get any advance notice when the Nexus 4 suddenly becomes 'in stock' ?? :p
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
People considering changing this due to a rattle... i seriously wouldnt, all my new devices do this and im 99% sure its the camera focus, its nothing, i really have to shake mine to hear anything, and thats in a quite room held up to my face!
[Nexus 4 General] mustyrash:
You have a point. I guess if you have kids or little siblings running about, you could just give the O2 sim to them and say you will take the phone off them if they use more than 50 minutes and use any kind of data. :)
[Nexus 4 General] androidsnax:
Thanks, I'm going to drop by o2 and just get it. I'll keep wrapped until I get confirmation from o2 that I've got one of their tv's...
