I emailed Google asking them to refund my postage whenever they ship my Nexus 4 as they've broken their end of the deal with the £9.99 postage.

The only positive I'm trying to convince myself of is hopefully everyone on backorder truly gets a second batch which may have some tweaks made in manufacturing.
[Nexus 4 General] chistery:
They've already agreed to credit the shipping cost back.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
For everyone? Link to the comment/press release if so please, thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] Publicglutton:
If you received the 3 weeks backorder email then you should know this already and I quote..

"Thank you for your recent purchase on Google Play. Due to overwhelming demand, your Nexus 4 is on backorder and is expected to ship within three weeks. We’ll send you a notification when your order has shipped and will credit the shipping charges."
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Also, I got this.

"As far as the refund for the shipping, I'll be happy to refund it when the charge actually completes and funds are taken from your account. "
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
It says so in the back order emails for nearly everyone that's still waiting for their device.
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
Decided to take down the eBay auction for my HOX. I'm just going to stick with it for a while, I really couldn't be bothered trying to get a N4 when the next batch is released, it'll be impossible again. I'll hold off til January or something, hopefully my HOX hasn't devalued too much by then.
[Nexus 4 General] LadFromWales85:
Where does one get £100 open discount?

I can see £50 for handset under £20/pm and £75 for over £20/pm?

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
Don't see what tweaks they should make, Mine works perfectly fine

Sounds like people are wishing issues on those of us who got one or trying to make themselves feel better that they didn't get one of the launch day handsets.
[Nexus 4 General] G405T:
Hey all, I have two mates; who are splitting an order of two phones. Luckily one failed to order and the other accidentally ordered two!! Surprisingly, one of the phones has turned up today and not the other, as far as I am aware Google are not splitting orders even for people who have ordered N4s + N10s together :/

Bit worried the second one has been overlooked! Has anyone else had this happen?
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
Why are you asking us that question when it should be Google support you need to ask, we didn't ship your device. I can't even get the 1 I ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] G405T:
We will call Google, but they will probably give a load of BS. Therefore, I would get a much better idea of whether I should be worried or not based other people experiences.

Thank you for your valuable input!

[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Just got nexus 4 from o2 store. Couldn't wait another 3 weeks then see again Google to go out of stock again. Paid 309.99 but gonna sell my galaxy nexus which will give me some cash back. So far very satisfied with the device will post again after playing some more time with it
[Nexus 4 General] adamski123:
How did u pay 309?

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

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] Publicglutton:
Think it was a typo...;)
[Nexus 4 General] danbrown162:
Just got an email today to say that my device has been dispatched! Confirmed with TNT!

Ordered on the release day at 8.15 ----> pending ----> back order..

Should have it by Monday!! :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
Maybe they still have stock for the backorder people and they just send that email to prevent the shipping delay
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Nice! That's good news man. Gives us all hope.

Looks like another batch of confirmations will be coming between 6pm-12am guys.
[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
The hat's been put on back order.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
LOL
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
Any bumpers already dispatched?

Or are there only phones going out?

Cheers
[Nexus 4 General] seaempty:
Damn you! I had just entered a period of acceptance, where I told myself that the phone wouldn't be coming for a few more weeks. But now I'm going to furiously check ever email that arrives tonight! :)

It's the hope that kills ya.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
It's most likely just stock TNT have that they've still to clear and send out. I doubt Google are supplying them with any new stock right now.

Therefore I'd only expect a very small number of people to get lucky and get an email.
[Nexus 4 General] Backo23:
I bought mine today in O2 North Finchley,they've had 3 in stock:)
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
Hahaha, I am in the EXACT same boat as you. Its not a good boat to be in (:
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
I'm guessing some cancelations have occurred since the backorder emails got sent, and those that are still hanging on have now got a chance to get theirs on Monday from the devices that are now free for us, oh how ironic it feels for me to say it pays off to be patient :P
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
O2's loss, they don't want my money then fine
[Nexus 4 General] danbrown162:
I too felt the pain guys. When i saw that I had been back ordered after ordering so early I was pretty pissed to say the least. So happy to get that email, not sure where the stock came from to be honest.. Must of had a few left after cancellations etc and I got allocated one.

Now I can sell my galaxy nexus!
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Well I now have an N4 in my hands and it's lovely :D O2 suck for charging more and even the guy who sold it to me said he'll be getting it from the Play Store when he can lol must've thought what a fool I am haha. Oh well now I have it I couldn't care how much I paid for it as it's definitely worth every penny that's all I'll say. I tried to BS the guy and say I had an O2 PAYG sim at home but the only way it would go through the till was with a £10 sim or by sending a message to an O2 number which you have to have in a phone on you. Wish I hadn't cancelled my sim only couple of weeks ago, that'll teach me for not being patient or prepared!

It updated straight away so I now have the lockscreen widgets which are cool and all the other bits and was fully charged. It probably caned my data though while it synced all my apps but I was too impatient to wait till I got home typically :D

Enjoy your phones when you get them and no I won't look for bugs for you :p If I don't notice anything it means my phone is perfect for me and that's all I care about ;)
[Nexus 4 General] PWF:
Where are you planning on selling it? I can't decided whether to go down the eBay route or not!
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
Gumtree, youll get more from it (just dont get robbed like myself)
[Nexus 4 General] PWF:
Ahh never thought of gumtree! Cheers for that!
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
My bad actually ,paid 409.99 (10 top up). But a problem , played with it about 4 hours and I got board now realised should have waited couple of weeks. Just wondering can I return the phone everything is wrapped like brand new. What should I say in the store?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
If you bought it in store, you don't have any legal right to return it. You can try and hope for some goodwill, but don't hold your breath.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Is there not any 7 days return policy ??
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
I think that only applies to online products, store returns have to be unopened.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Or can I not tell some problems about this phone like rattle, phone gets warm this type of excuses instead of telling them don't like it.

---------- Post added at 09:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:49 PM ----------

Well I got everything unopened even though I kept then plastic on the phone the charger and cable are wrapped up and the sim car hasn't been used plus in the packet. :(
[Nexus 4 General] AngryRabidBadger:
So have we established that US orders are moving over the weekend while UK orders remain untouched?
[Nexus 4 General] sampy14:
I bought it through Gumtree. I paid £350. The guy was asking 400 but he accepted my offer.
[Nexus 4 General] ticktime:
O2 gives you 7 working days to return.

How do I return my product?

You should take it back to where you bought it from. If you bought it from an O2 shop, you can take it back to any O2 shop.
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
There certainly is. I've bought it to use for the weekend and make sure i'm happy to wait 3 weeks for it. Going to take it back Monday. Here is the policy:

http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/srvs/cgi...n,question=ref(user):str(mobile),CASE=ref(RR1)

We want you to be completely happy with anything you buy from us. But we know that sometimes things can go wrong. When that happens, we’ll try our best to fix the problem wherever we can.

If you change your mind about your purchase

If the product you’ve bought isn’t quite what you wanted, you’ve got 7 Working Days to:

1. Swap it for something else (you can only do this once). If you choose a more expensive product, you’ll need to pay the difference.

Or

2. Get your money back

You’ll still have to pay for any service you’ve used (like calls, texts or data, including roaming). We'll charge you for this after you’ve brought the product back.

There are some exceptions to this policy such as gaming consoles and sat navs. Click the 'What products do we sell where our standard returns and repairs policy doesn’t apply?' section below for more details.

How do I return my product?

You should take it back to where you bought it from. If you bought it from an O2 shop, you can take it back to any O2 shop.

If you bought it online or over the phone from us, you’ll need to give us a call to find out how to send it back. You’ll find the right number to call on your bill or here; o2.co.uk/contactus.
[Nexus 4 General] danbrown162:
eBay!
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Thanks a lot brothers. Nexus 4 is a great device for sure and I wanted so badly but it took me a little while that to understand 400 quid is a lot where Google is selling for 280. I will use my gnex while I wait Google to release again. I will go tomorrow in the store. But what should I say to them???? Should I point the price or anything else?
[Nexus 4 General] Hereisphilly:
Has anyone had any experience with having warranty returns with google play?

Tempted to buy a brand new unopened unit off gumtree for 350 that I've seen, but not sure about the return process if I don't have proof of purchase.

Any thoughts?
[Nexus 4 General] 007xico:
Don't know what to do! I sold my HTC one x hopping to get nexus 4. As everyone else couldn't order one, but now I am using a slow phone. Considering another phone as this might take more than a month to be available.

HTC was a beast but I wanted pure android experience.

Never found it so difficult to spend my money.
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
:D :D

Your posts have a had me cracking up

Ever heard the phrase 'more money than sense'? ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Hereisphilly:
I hear you, normally the reason I don't get a new handset when they are launched is because it doesn't offer anything more than my current unit, or I can't afford it.

But this time its different, sold my one X as soon as the nexus was launched (£350 - thankyou very much!), and I'm now making do with the missus' old desire S, and I have the money ready and waiting!

Come on google, let me spend it!
[Nexus 4 General] adamski123:
+1 on this but instead of selling my one x I sold my nexus 7 and am now waiting to buy the nexus 4 so I can sell my one x so I can ask for a nexus 10 for Xmas lol :0 Google messed up my plan ;)

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

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] Rusty!:
Lot of people shifting their One X in this thread, mine is going on eBay tomorrow!

I've had over priced on Gumtree for a couple of days as well :D
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Sold my One X on ebay, it really underperformed though, especially with it being mint. Only got £253 and I threw in some official cases and a car dock.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
What I meant was nexus 4 is not that phone which would make you pay 400 quid. Should have waited. My dad always says that I have no patients and I have to agree with it
[Nexus 4 General] vido.ardes:
I might not be able to get my hands on a Nexus 4, but it sounds like I might be able to get a cheap HTC One X :D
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
To be honest a cheap One X wouldn't be a bad choice either. Sure the N4 is better (IMO) but the One X's being given up by new N4 owners are still damn good phones!
[Nexus 4 General] r0cafella:
Yeah I'm looking forward to how they compare on the battery front

Will probably keep my one X as a back up
[Nexus 4 General] seaempty:
When I returned my nexus 7, the serial number was tied to my Google account. They could see that I had bought it by checking my Google Wallet etc., but they made sure that the serial number on the device I was returning was the same on their records.
[Nexus 4 General] Hereisphilly:
Ah, didn't think about the account linking and traceability. Looks like I'm goin to have to wait till its back in stock then.

After getting through 4 defective one Xs, I know all about the issues with being an early adopter!
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
Looks like there won't be :P he's the only one so far in this thread tonight to get one.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
:( I think I jinxed it :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] jaybeerex:
I think we probably all needed start thinking realistically, they wouldn't have said we would get our orders within 3 weeks if we weren't going to have to wait a considerable amount of time for these units. I sold my hox but there's no chance I'm paying o2 prices. I'll just use a temp phone and be patient.
[Nexus 4 General] aoprea:
Three - four weeks to wait to new stock arive is toooooo long time ....

so few units made Google ? shame ...
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
It's all in the description. I always get above average for my eBay items by taking the time to write a really good description. Make it sound like you've taken real good care of it (which I do anyway) and make it sound absolutely amazing, even if it sounds a bit cheesy. Take the time to take some really good pics too. I know it's a bit late now but just some general advice for anything you might sell in future.
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
Had an email earlier this morning to tell me my O2 Nexus 4 has been dispatched and tracking shows it to be delivered tomorrow afternoon. Spoke to O2 on Live Chat and had my £100 O2 open discount added and the £3 data bolt on removed. £50 quidco is tracking. £282 for a Nexus 4 :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] kash1786:
Nicely done son! :D

---------- Post added at 09:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

I went into o2 yday in Windsor..guy at the till said I can ONLY get that on and on tariff (or whatever its called) which is 36 quid a month on the nexus 4! I felt like punching him..:)
[Nexus 4 General] nexusguy74:
Man I'm loving the speeds on my Nexus T.mobile.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Second this. I got £100 for an iPod touch and £160 for an OG Asus Transformer last week, well above average used auction prices :D
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
The burkes who work in O2 are as bad as the assholes who work in p4u.

They all think there god & have a hold over what you buy.

Deceitful gits at O2 about he Locked Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] astalavista_thes:
I have an o2 pay and go sim card and I have only 1Mbps download speed normally. I am in York. Is that because I have a pay and go sim (so monthly tariffs get better connection), because I leave in York or because o2 has bad mobile data broadband?
[Nexus 4 General] nexusguy74:
I was getting slow speeds two so I checked my APN settings then it went flying up.
[Nexus 4 General] Stretlow:
Went in o2 yesterday, took an old payg sim card and he sold me the phone.

As for the phone itself, its a beast, only worry I had been confirmed though, battery is still ****e, and I can't carry a spare.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2800MAH-E...468?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item337771891c
[Nexus 4 General] Stretlow:
I genuinely appreciate your effort, but that's not a spare pal.
[Nexus 4 General] stennett:
Just take my money Google and send me a 16GB Nexus 4!

Every day that passes I get more tempted to pay O2's price! At first I though it was a rip off, now I'm talking my self round (yes, I am going mad). Suddenly it doesn't seem that bad! Judging by the emails people have been receiving it looks like it will be 4 weeks before I can even get the chance to TRY and order one from the play store. I'll be gutted if I wait, then when they get more in stock they sell out again before I get to order one!

Anyone selling a 16GB for £300?.............................thought not.
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Just do matey - Couple of days you'll forget all about the extra cost
[Nexus 4 General] everett_psycho:
This o2 open thing looks interesting, i think i will be talking to our it department about this tomorrow as or company has loads of o2 business contracts, would be great if they are signed up to it.
[Nexus 4 General] uberNoobZA:
It's as close to a spare as you will get and cheaper too I think. And does not require turning off your phone and opening the case, which in my opinion makes it better than a spare.
[Nexus 4 General] eLv./.G1:
Did anyone receive the bumper from Google play yet??

I managed to get the phone which came on Wednesday but the bumper case has still not been despatched.
[Nexus 4 General] marra2:
Hmmm my company mobile is o2 might look into this o2 open thing
[Nexus 4 General] jparnell:
Got my nexus 4 from o2 yesterday which I'm loving.bit nervous about damaging it having read reports of screen scratching and back breaking though.

One question I have is whether the phone is exactly the same as one from play store? Will it receive latest updates without having to be approved by o2? the box had o2 on the white label and I've noticed imei has o2 as well.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
From the OP:

I can also confirm it's identical as I also bought mine last night and the first update was instantaneous as soon as I connected to WiFi.
[Nexus 4 General] MattSkeet:
I've dropped my galaxy nexus once in 1year time. Only because I was hit by the elevator doors while getting in to it. Bo cracked screen etc. Just keep in mind that it's a fragile device and hold on to it....
[Nexus 4 General] Kas206:
Just been to CPW there selling the 16GB for £389.99 but they didn't any in stock. They have been told not to sell any sim free versions yet.
[Nexus 4 General] astalavista_thes:
Which APN settings are you using?
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Just in case you haven't already, I returned my Nexus 4 today after a couple of days testing and they refunded me no problems. I just said I didn't like the handset and there was no other questions.
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
Looks like I will only be getting the nexus 4 after all these fiasco is done with.

Meanwhile rocking my 4S. Though it's starting to get dull. But meh, really wanted one but was to cheap to fork out an extra 130 quids for it from O2 :p

---------- Post added at 03:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

It wasn't nice ? Can you elaborate more ? Or it was just an excuse to return it :p
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
My description was 4 paragraphs and I paid extra for more pictures for first time ever! :crying: :laugh:

It's away now anyway :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
I just use HTML code to add extra pictures to the description for free ;)
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Now that's clever
[Nexus 4 General] chapperz:
Just been to O2 and bought a new Nexus :)

Just to let everyone know, if you are already on O2 payg you don't have to pay the extra £10 top-up ;)

Also, I managed to get a £20 voucher to use in Next/M&S/Debenhams/Argos/Amazon as part of their Christmas offer upon purchasing certain phones. The salesman didn't think it was in the offer but when he scanned it through the till it showed it was. So essentially, if you're already on O2 payg or know someone who is that will go into store with you, you can get the phone for £399.99 with a £20 voucher ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Manipulas:
I just went to ANOTHER o2 store near me and they wouldn't sell it on PAYG AGAIN!

Don't understand how everyone is able to just go to their local store and buy one.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyLeMesmer:
Tweet your receipt to @O2 with the hashtag #lifesgood for a free LG TV, its the first 250 people but I don't think they've reached that yet.
[Nexus 4 General] jparnell:
Have you got any more info on this? I thought it was the first 50 that queued?

James
[Nexus 4 General] soulja786:
Guys is anyone having call problems with their Nex4? I.e. hollow voices etc?
[Nexus 4 General] TonyLeMesmer:
I contacted O2 on twitter and they confirmed it's the first 250 to tweet, doesn't matter which store you bought it from (I did it myself).

https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=@o2+#lifesgood&src=typd
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
Can you walk me through how to get this mate? I know about the O2 open discount, but how do you get the £3 data off? is the £100 credited into your bank account after 1 month?
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Have they filled the 250 ?
[Nexus 4 General] chapperz:
Not sure it's the first 250 to tweet tbh. This article says "Just tweet @O2 with a picture of you and your new Nexus 4 and tell us why you’re excited about life using the hashtag #lifesgood. We’ll be watching out for people tweeting for the first couple of weeks and your pic could net you a new TV!"

http://www.lgblog.co.uk/2012/11/nexus4-o2/

I'll give it a go anyway :)
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Well reminded, now done :good: Turned out I tweeted a pic of my receipt with all my personal details on next to my phone turned on with Tesco showing as my my operator haha school boy error so cropped it and sent it again, hopefully they didn't look at it the first time lol

I never turn down an opportunity to get something back especially after the price we paid lol

Also just found someone responded to gumtree advert but 4 days ago as was in my junk, oops and they offered £170 for my S2! Oh well if they don't reply it's still off to O2.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyLeMesmer:
I don't know, it doesn't look like it but you'd have to check with O2 to be sure.

Yeah I saw that too but O2 sent me the following:
[Nexus 4 General] trice1921:
To remove the £3 data just talk to them on live chat, takes 2 minutes. The £100 is credited to your O2 account, i think after 30 days.
[Nexus 4 General] Shaizer:
Cheers and where I can I see if my employer is part of the open scheme? Or do I just have to call them up to find out?
[Nexus 4 General] MDaveUK:
Nearly 6pm, ready for some emails guys? :D
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Don't think there was any last night, so nope :(

One person on here said earlier on yesterday they got a despatch email, but that was it IIRC.
[Nexus 4 General] AngryRabidBadger:
I like your optimism.

I'm cracking open a few cans and playing some assassins creed
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Nope, quality seems go to me.
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
How do you know people are gonna get emails?
[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
If they were doing it, we'd be hearing about them. So I doubt they're going out today.
[Nexus 4 General] seaempty:
I still don't understand how the UK Play Store has the bumper listed as" in stock", when I don't think anyone in the UK who ordered one has actually received it. It does seem to be a factor in holding up the orders where it was bought with the nexus 4, but even those who ordered it separately haven't got it yet.
[Nexus 4 General] DR-Dizzy:
Erm, any news on when the UK Play store's going to get more 16gb models in stock? :( :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Sometime in Julember.
