My nexus 4 is in. I bought a SIM cutter from eBay for £2.95 last week so I'll just use it to cut it.

:D:D
[Nexus 4 General] liewjls:
Excellent, I was bit worry about the cutting down the original sim for the N4. Some of the forum, they said the N4 will report No Sim after the cut sim manually. The SP are rubbish, getting a replacement sim and we need to pay £10. If it's £1 or £2, I would still acceptable.

Anyway thx for the inform! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
I used a cut down (with scissors) for 2.5 months in my N4 without any issue, hell I didn't even have one of them handy templates when I did it.
[Nexus 4 General] Kumnaa:
You can just go into high street shops and get them trimmed. I've had one sliced in Vodafone and one in Carphone Warehouse for free. Both sims are working fine in our Nexus 4s.
[Nexus 4 General] CloudCosta:
You guys won't have any problem with the cutted sim, you can't have.

Wanna know why? 'Cause here in Portugal, I went to Vodafone and they said they would cut it for me (without any charge). I eventually opted for the 6€ Duo Sim, so I can have 2 phone with 2 different SIMs connected with the same number. So that when I go to parties, I don't need to take my nexus, just take my old phone.

Better yet, in the store the Duo Sim comes with a 2 normal sized sims, and they just have a tool to cut it to micro sim. I have a strong guess that it isnt' different from you guys cutting it yourselves (;
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
They take £10 off your next bill. They did with me. You might want to check that out....
[Nexus 4 General] croques:
I took my old sim into an independent phone shop and asked them to cut it down for me. Cost me 3 pounds BYMMV. There are punches on eBay you can buy too.
[Nexus 4 General] bunderschaft:
Anyone else?

Ordered mine 31st Jan, put the money on hold.

Last week money was released again, so, no more money on hold. Call to Google and they tell me everything is alright. Wait until today, as the expected delivery was yesterday, and now they tell me there was an issue and they are escalating to a level 3 assistant.

Anyone else with this issue? I guess the best bet is to ask my girlfriend to buy one and I'll see it delivered by tomorrow. Wanna bet?

****in' useless people!!!!

Anyone in the UK got the 4.2.2 update from OTA?
[Nexus 4 General] Nathanation:
Anyone else annoyed that the wireless charging orb is shown in the UK play store with a message saying "this item is NOT available in your region"! Grrr.

⭐Sent from my stock Nexus 4⭐
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
Yes! Finally google has received my order :) I was starting to worry as everyone else got the message the same day of the order. Hopefully I'll get my nexus next week. Who knows!

14 Feb

Google Commerce Ltd received your order.

12 Feb

You placed an order with Google Commerce Ltd on 12 Feb. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to xx@gmail.com
[Nexus 4 General] Restorer:
Yup, even some of the little shopping mall stalls are providing this free as a "goodwill service". It takes only a few seconds after all -- yet T-mobile shops are charging £10 even for their own customers!
[Nexus 4 General] Nicky J:
Just got mine!
[Nexus 4 General] bunderschaft:
Missing orders

Just to let any other affected guy that I placed yesterday an order using my wife's account and that I received the email from Google Play confirming it's been shipped.

So, if your order is missing, just find a friend with a Google account and start a new one from scratch.

Good luck!
[Nexus 4 General] theabsurdman:
When I first got my n4 I had a local phone shop cut my old sim down for £1. Then orange sent me new one for free. Aren't orange and T-Mobile now the same outfit -- ee? I'm not sure why T-Mobile are charging when orange are not.
[Nexus 4 General] waynehardy:
Still not got mine yet, beginning to wonder if something could be wrong.

Has tours come thru now?
[Nexus 4 General] Restorer:
Beware if you're using Sky Go. The Nexus 7 update broke the app :(.
[Nexus 4 General] Samdy Gray:
No update here yet on an O2 supplied N4.
[Nexus 4 General] futuredok:
Got my update yesterday evening. An 8GB model from google play in Jan.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathanation:
My update was waiting for me this morning at 8am. Updated to 4.2.2. Bought from play store in December.

Just install it manually, waiting sucks anyway :D
[Nexus 4 General] dw9999:
Ok so ive got a really annoying problem, just received my Nexus 4 around 30 mins ago was delighted turned it on everything was fine then I went to the settings page and the screen started flickering and there were thick lines going across the screen, now this only happens on dark grayish pages everything else is fine..... really annoyed right now as im probably gonna have to send it back after just getting it =(
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Worst thing about these phones is having to return then to Google. Mine flickered today, it was sick between lockscreen and the music app, if it happens again I'll contact them.
[Nexus 4 General] Kid_droid:
On the sim cards subject..I just went into the 02 shop and just did swap for free..but you must know your account details for your sim only plan..they just deactivated my big sim and activated a new micro sim same number. Process takes 5 mins.

Yeah if I send it back to Google im probably looking at a 2 week wait, might just go to Carphonewarehouse.
[Nexus 4 General] dpmcalli:
This is just a bug in 4.2. A replacement phone would have the same issue
[Nexus 4 General] dw9999:
Contacted Google and the replacement service is actually very good, basically they send you the replacement and once you receive it it will contain all the return info for where to send the defective device, also note you need to have funds in your bank account as when you order to replacement they hold onto the £240 or £280 to ensure you actually send back the defective phone.
[Nexus 4 General] waynehardy:
Wanting to wait to see how long it took and to see how it worked

Anyway update dropped in sometime Friday evening
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Mine did that once, I just assumed it was Play Music ****ting itself :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] demolatorul:
guys, i'm realy sorry but i don't have time to read all the thread, it is very large thread, can you tell me how long it will take to get a nexus 4 if i order one now, in play store it says less than 1 week, i'm not from uk, and i'm asking because i have a friend in london and he is leaving next friday,and he will be back in london after 1 month, what hapens if the phone will be shipped after friday, will he get his monney back?thank you guys
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
If you ordered it now, I wouldn't expect it any later than Wednesday based on previous comments.
[Nexus 4 General] demolatorul:
and if not? lets say that for some reasons will be shipped after friday, what will happen with the phone, because my friend will not be there to take it. it will be send back too google or what? thanks
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
My nexus 4 is "Out for delivery" but as it's a saturday I've gathered from previous posts that it means I won't be getting my nexus 4 till Monday earliest! For £9.99 I'd of thought they'd deliver on sautrday, Oh well just 2 more days :)
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
If the depot is nearby, just contact them and pick it up yourself.
[Nexus 4 General] theguitarman94:
Nearest depot is 30 miles away! Wow, You'd think I'd be from out in the country! I'm sure I can wait anyway :)
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
If it can't be delivered then it will be returned to Google
[Nexus 4 General] demolatorul:
With or without any costs to be supported by the buyer?
[Nexus 4 General] dinesh690:
hell probably be charged for the origional shipping cost. He may then be charged again for it being shipped out again as it does specify within a week + 2 days to send it out so it woudn't be their fault if it was sent on saturday
[Nexus 4 General] chrisastrous:
Just updated and the update didn't erase superuser.... Is that normal?

I flashed stock recovery over cwm to receive the update though.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Superuser/SuperSU will remain in the app list, but actual root access will be gone.

Next time leave CWM installed when you update.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Probably banding issues. I have that on my current device (301K). There is a vertical line, probably a few mm in size that goes from the top of my device to the bottom. Most noticeable on grey/dark grey backgrounds. Can almost make it out on jet black, but any shades lighter and I can see it.

I know it's hardware as it appears even in the recovery menu.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
As for sending the defect phone back Google gave me a TNT post bag but the problem is nearest TNT depo is 15 miles away from my city. How do I post my phone then? Would it be OK if I leave to royal mail post office?
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
You phone them to arrange pickup.
[Nexus 4 General] chrisastrous:
How do I know if I've got root now or not?

But I've been told with a custom recovery OTA won't work.
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Can I ask them to pickup my phone at a specific time cause I might not be at home
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
Phone them and ask
[Nexus 4 General] chrisastrous:
You can check which depot TNT your phone P's at, call them and pickup in their opp penning hours. You will need proof of id though
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
He's returning a phone, not receiving.
[Nexus 4 General] evanswolves:
Ordering me a Nexus 4 tomorrow or Tuesday now iv got a buyer for my beloved HTC EVO3D, i know the site says 1-2 weeks shipping but they do/did seem to be shipping within a day or 2, is that still the case?
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Order it as soon as possible, you could get it shipped on Tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] uronfire:
Ordered mine last night hopefully will get it this week.

Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Sold my GS3 on amazon. Had enough of the crippled multitasking and touch wiz.
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Sold mine on eBay to a guy in Spain, it's been a week now and he still hasn't received it, have a feeling I'm going to be in a recession if nothing positive happens this week.
[Nexus 4 General] dw9999:
You have a tracking number?
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Nope, dumb move on my part. I'm hoping he gets it this week. If he tried to scam me, I'm screwed.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
:(

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS send tracked if something is going abroad. I would do so in the UK as well, but at least you can get proof of postage at the minimum.

You are completely defenceless if you get scammed in this case, at a push you might be lucky to see Paypal refund him out of their own pocket, but that is usually only a solution when the sender can prove they sent the package. Ebay always favour the buyer first.

I got scammed selling my HTC Desire in the UK, but since I had proof of postage the ordeal ended up with me getting to keep the money. The buyer had 100% feedback as well, but for whatever reason took this opportunity.
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Well so far the buyer has been pretty ok, we communicate via email and he has a good rep on eBay. If I do get scammed I'll take it as a lesson.
[Nexus 4 General] VillyVombat:
Hi, I'm a new user who has followed this thread for a while but need to ask for some advice!

I ordered a Nexus 4 on the 30th of Jan approximately one minute after they came back in stock. No device delivered yet, no tracking number, just a note in google wallet to say the order was received on the 30th. A hold was put on my account for the full amount, but this expired, and my delivery estimate of the 13th of February has passed. I'm confused as to why my device hasn't been sent yet, as others received theirs two days later...I've asked google support many times over, they can offer no explanation and cannot cancel the order. I feel like I'm destined to never receive this phone! A specialist has told me to wait for 4 weeks from now for delivery, which seems a bit excessive. Does anyone know anything I can say/do to speed this up?
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
If the hold is removed just order another one, I'm sure you can ask the Google support person to talk to a manager instead, your order has taken way too long.
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
Electricity is slower over there :)
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
I received the multiple item email and that didn't slow my order down. Says its out for delivery now. I ordered the bumper and phone separate and the bumper still says 15th so I would assume it is going to take a little bit longer if you want them packed together. That being said we know its overnight shipping and so even if they ship as late as midnight tonight they will still be within the "delivery estimate". So I don't really know why so many of you are b******g over it..... Give it at least another day!
[Nexus 4 General] Jaso333:
just phoned up TNT, gonna pick it up at lunch time from the depot if it hasn't been loaded onto the van yet ;)
[Nexus 4 General] gallifreyangirl:
Only what others are thinking of doing lol.
[Nexus 4 General] Spierbal:
Yep, I am in the exact same situation, just horrific service. I have yet to see ONE person confirm it. The bumper is a serious sticky point it seems for Google. At this point, the majority roaming around here with no shipping email are the ones with multiple items in their order..
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
I'm bracing myself, after all the "expected to be dispatched by the evening of November 15th" clone emails from customer support, for any orders with bumpers to not be shipped once again tonight and then be told that the bumper isn't actually available yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
Still no dispatch email for me. Ordered 08:20:22. Just 1 16gb. It seems most people have theirs shipped now. I don't think it was that bad a service if you get it today.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
No email for me either. I'm hoping that they just didn't get around to emailing me, because I have a day off today!
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
I'd rather pay O2's price than buy a new phone from eBay again.
[Nexus 4 General] THFourteen:
Interesting point, i ordered the bumper and phone together, and haven't recieved a dispatch email yet, but on my order it says "Shipping estimate 15th November", so as much as i would like my phone today, i can't really argue with that if it gets shipped today can i!
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
No but change the language at the bottom of the page to English (UK) rather than English (US) and look again :p
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
In my opinion Google has given themselves until the 17th to deliver..... But I would sure hope that's not the case. If it is the bumper that is holding things up you know they are not going to ship them separate since nobody paid for that.... Stands to reason as well the ones that ordered N10 N4 and bumpers are going to take even longer! I have to say this does seem to be going a bit better than the N7 pre-order snafuuzle.
[Nexus 4 General] phil001:
got dispatch email at 11:04pm yesterday.

About time, don't think i have seen anyone that got their order in before me!

Called google last night at about 10pm, he said

it was all going through as far as he could see, payment had been authorised but not taken and it would probably dispatched within about 2 days...!

All is well now anyway, good luck to those still waiting
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
I won't hold my breath for the 17th, if they ship out on Friday there's little-to-no chance of Saturday delivery so it'll be the 19th for Friday dispatches.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
I'm assuming like a few others here that the language thing is a bit misleading.... Since it is a US company I can only suspect they still mean "Estimated shipping date". Unless they know things ship faster here. When I was growing up in the states there was hardly ever a time when I could get something overnight unless I paid $60 just for shipping. Here it's like £8. So much less country to cross in the UK....
[Nexus 4 General] micflair:
Both me and my mate who ordered got a dispatch email from google last night with tracking numbers. When we click on the tracking numbers they are both from October 25/26th delivered to somewhere in London.. very strange!
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
No email or change of status in Play store or Wallet for me but Natwest say my card was charged yesterday.

I ordered a 16gb and a bumper. Is there a common theme of people buying bumpers not getting shipping emails?
[Nexus 4 General] evie12604:
Click reference instead of consignment
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Unfortunately yes, to my knowledge no-one that had a multi-item order has received a shipping email. I'm in the same boat as you with a N4 and Bumper in one order and I've got everything crossed for shipping today.
[Nexus 4 General] THFourteen:
OH MY GOD!

Where is my phone!!!

Google you bastards!
[Nexus 4 General] 3473:
On Google play, it says "Ships in 1 - 2 weeks" for the 16gb model

Is this true? As I have heard that Google actually ship them next day, and there isn't a 1-2 week delay?
[Nexus 4 General] Nexus 4:
I got mine in 3 - 4 business days (when I bought it also said 1 - 2 weeks)
[Nexus 4 General] mst89:
I am in the same situation. After repeatedly calling them, they could only tell me I would receive it within a week (this was last Thurday). What I did was to order another one on Friday, which I will receive tomorrow :eek:, and if I ever receive the first one, I will just return it and have a refund.

I wish I could cancel it, though :(
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
Well something weird happened today after ordering my replacement phone Google didn't charge me 279 but the money was hold by Google but today it doesn't show as a hold anymore. Does it mean Google forgot about my replacement phone. Will they charge me if I keep the defect phone:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
You should contact them and do the right thing.
[Nexus 4 General] M3ta7h3ad:
Legally I believe until the item rests in the hands of the buyer, the seller is responsible. Always send tracked when selling stuff on eBay as its you who can claim the item back from the delivery company, the seller will just get refunded by PayPal (thinking eBay here) just getting proof of postage isn't enough.

Have been on the buying end myself in the past, I had someone with proof of postage try saying that I'd need to do the chasing with Royal Mail, balls to that, raised it to PayPal dispute resolution they were in my favour so got refunded.
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
I made a mistake. But I read through the royal mail insurance terms, and basically they will only refund £46 if a mobile phone gets lost regardless if it's value. Now I'm just hoping the buyer doesn't try to scam me, since he has good rep on there.
[Nexus 4 General] M3ta7h3ad:
Yeah, that's why you send items over that value at special delivery, not just recorded signed for. :) otherwise buyer ends up with full refund, you end up with £47.
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Didn't really know, it was my first time selling on eBay. I wish I read more info.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
I sent a phone to Spain (a £300 One S) and it took about a week, I was bricking it for the entire time as it turned out there is no insurance offered on sending phones abroad unless you spend a ton.

Even though I tracked it, and I know it arrived, got good feedback and the buyer was ecstatic, I never got delivery confirmation.
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
How many days did take after posting?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Posted on 2nd July, received on the 5th, better than I thought!
[Nexus 4 General] dw9999:
Definitely keep calling until you get an answer, since mid to late January I cant recall many people waiting for so long for their N4 to ship, mine shipped after 3 days despite have a 1-2 week waiting period.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------

Contact Google, I too have ordered a replacement but the money is still being held onto by Google, you can also wait a few days to see if your N4 dispatches but id contact Google asap.
[Nexus 4 General] Liam0o:
Ordered my 8gb today, two bullet points and estimated delivery for 23rd February

Hopefully everything goes smoothly :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] big_b0sss:
No no you didn't get me, I have got my replacement phone but haven't send the defect one yet but my money hold has expired. So was wondering will Google let me keep defect phone :D:D:D:D
[Nexus 4 General] dw9999:
Ohhh I get you now, well you have 21 days to return your defective phone so maybe wait until the 18th day to see if your money hold is still expired and if so then you may get away with it, worst case scenario Google charge you but then you can just sell the defective unit on Ebay its a risk but might be worth it.
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
The guy got my s3 today, so I'm in the clear.
[Nexus 4 General] Liam0o:
Just received my shipping info, ordered and shipped in less than 12 hours :D
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Like I said earlier, they usually ship on Tuesdays. So if you're lucky you could get it tomorrow or Wednesday. Just make sure someone is there to receive it.
[Nexus 4 General] Liam0o:
I'll be setting up a deck chair in my garden in the morning, flask of coffee and i'm set for the day :cool:
[Nexus 4 General] BLADESMAN1889:
How much do you recon the charging orb will be when it comes up for sale in UK ?

I'm guessing around £35 I'm really in 2 minds about this thing as it just seems an expensive gimmick - depending on price I may consider it -- say if its £25 or less.

Anyone else looking into getting one ?

Better put my spare on ebay if they are shipping this quickly ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Shodney:
Someone over on HotUKDeals said they spoke to a service rep and they said it's going to be £40 + postage.

They also said it was going to be released last week, so take from that what you will. We all know how amazing the customer service reps are when it comes to information :rolleyes:

I mainly wanted one so I could dock the phone and use it as a clock over night, but it looks like the angle it holds the phone at might be too shallow for that. I think the consensus over in the main thread is that it's a disappointment, so I don't think I'm going to bother now :(

Just looking on ebay for screen protectors and came across the gel case I bought - and quite a few others - it says over 1000 sold [I got mine from a link on this thread] and noticed the price for which I paid £2:95 has shot up to £19:99

don't know if its a typo or what as there is only 1 left ?

[Nexus 4 General] Dav_prime:
I know this post is old but i have to comment.

It never ceases to amaze me that you have to pay extra to recover your losses if the provider themselves screw up and lose/damage the package.

"we may not do our job right, would you like insurance against this for a small fee?" wait what!?
[Nexus 4 General] kofiaa:
Yeah it is twisted, but it ends well because my buyer got the phone.
