Wow - getting hard to load this thread.

For anyone still trying to find stock in store of SIM free N4s I've been ringing round this morning.

- Phones4U: no stock, no eta, don't know if going to carry it

- CPW: tried 3 stores on their local numbers. Not one of them has picked up the damn phone.

- O2: not tried yet - still trying to (a) make sure it's really SIM free (b) convince myself that I should wait.

Pretty fed up with the whole thing now. Just want to get one and move on..
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
If they ship today, it will probably arrive tomorrow and I won't be there. Can I leave a note for them to leave it in a safe place or something?
[Nexus 4 General] Cactus42:
The O2 ones are Sim Free - a colleague bought one and we tested it with Three and a Virgin Sim. Not worth the £120 premium over waiting a few weeks for the Play store though IMO
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
LOL you just made my day!!

You are tracking the wrong package tho. Tick reference number and try again!:D
[Nexus 4 General] UberGinge:
Phew! It does display error. Thank you for clearing that up. Was panicing thinking I just gave a Nexus 10 to some random bloke in the UK! Now the long wait begins..
[Nexus 4 General] warr3n:
I'm in exactly the same boat as you and I reckon the best hope for those of us who were unsuccessful with the 30 minute sell-out will have to wait until they are back in stock on Play.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
When my Vita was being delivered by Amazon and I wasn't in I just left a post-it note on my door saying leave in greenhouse (and please remove post-it note afterwards).
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Oh good, I'll think I do this. Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] raze599:
Just checked the TNT website now. It was delivered about 10 minutes ago. Still at school atm, will get back like 3. First have to prep my Desire HD and send it before I open that package though.
[Nexus 4 General] footboydog:
I just phoned my local O2 shop and they have one in stock but they said it would be locked to O2!?
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
Yet more evidence Carphone Warehouse will have sim free stock http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/12yvq9/uk_redditors_i_found_out_some_interesting/
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
That is known. Question is at what price.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Oh man. I'm gonna have to phone them on Monday and find out whether or not my local one will have them in stock. Might even blag a bit and see if I can get one on the Tuesday. :P
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
OP of that thread said the guy in CPW said it won't be more expensive than Google
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
I know. It still doesn't guarantee anything. We'll have to wait i guess.
[Nexus 4 General] Mike Blitz:
Asda tech trade in do the best prices. I used them when I needed to get rid of my S2 once I got the S3, now debating on selling my S3 to get the Nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
You're not wrong they're at £155.50 currently thanks :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Just Gumtree the ****er, trends to get the same price as eBay, but without the fees.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Good shout, might out my Sensation on it. It makes me cry that sending it to the recycling only gives you £96. It was TOP device only last year.
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
If the N4 I'd available in-store at CPW I think I'll just go the Gumtree route with my HOX then head straight down with the cash
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Haha, I'd probably buy one on credit card and use it to take the for sale photos of my One X!
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Lol.

Credit Card is anyone's best route, even if you have cash. CC has some guarantees coming with it, so if you can't solve a dispute with the seller you can always complain to CC, since it's THEM who bought it, technically.
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
Just so everyone knows, Google Play, judging by the phone call I made earlier, don't know what time, in terms of GMT, the phone is going to be released on Play so it could be midnight or 8am.
[Nexus 4 General] Michealtbh:
I use a prepaid MasterCard for all my app purchases in Google Play because my Maestro debit card isn't accepted. It's worked fine for apps for around a year now. I've read of people having issues when using a prepaid card to buy N7s on the Play Store, does anyone think I'll have any issues?
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Damn right, especially PayPal stuff!
[Nexus 4 General] mojo22:
Do they take laptops/netbooks?

I'm really looking to get rid of mine (which is still under the 1 year warranty) but don't know the best way to do it.

Would really appreciate some feedback on this if anyone knows..

cheers

https://tradein.asda.com/Intro/HowMobilePhoneRecyclingWorks

Try yourself :)

Just put mine in for the kicks, they offered 50 quid. That's a no go, you will be A LOT better of putting it on Gumtree or eBay.
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
I sold my HTC HD2 on there for £170 when I got the S2 18 months ago to a local which was good but there's quite a few S2's on there at the moment going for £150 - £200 so may try and see once I've received the N4, if not I've ordered the package to send the phone off anyway so they fix the price for 14 days.
[Nexus 4 General] kaiowas82:
I usually go to Cex,didn't know asda had a trade-in service
[Nexus 4 General] DjeMBeY:
There's new Recycling Service from Orange as well. I've checked my S2 but they pay just £155.00... (My mate is getting it off me for £200 and he's coming from iPhone.. ) eBay or Gumtree will be better IMHO.
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
People who have received them today - does it arrives in a discrete packaging?

I don't want to leave a note saying leave in Greenhouse / Bin etc if it just in a pack and you can see its a £300 phone - as the drive could steal it and you'd have no come back.
[Nexus 4 General] huntedsoul12:
Take a look at this guys :)

Sorry for the tease lol just received it :)
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Congrats, but the only thing I'm interested in today is hearing if anyone who didn't have a shipped email gets a cheeky delivery :good: :p
[Nexus 4 General] RedBlueGreen:
Thats pretty stupid. If I passed your house and saw the note.. i would just keep coming back every 30mins to see if the note is gone.. if it is then your Vita would have been mine.... (if i was a thief that is)
[Nexus 4 General] TeRRa4:
The CPW landine numbers don't work. You have to use the 0845 redirection service they have, sadly. :/
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
My house is well shielded by our trees :P Unless you come up to the entrance you cannot see the door.

As I get a lot of packages delivered here I also know the delivery driver of the courier Amazon used well - Sometimes it might not be him on this shift, but it usually is.

Might not be the best idea for some people to do it, suggestion at your own risk.
[Nexus 4 General] soulja786:
Just received mine!! :D :D
[Nexus 4 General] Spierbal:
When I spoke the agent from Google apparently there is massive backlog, surprise surprise and chances are pretty slim that n4+bumper will processed today. In my case it will be a Monday or Tuesday delivery at the worst.

The orders are chosen random to process, i.e. they don't start with latest received order or earliest received. According to him, including a bumper to order has no effect, in fact states there are people with multiple items in the order that had theirs dispatched. This goes completely against what we have seen so far in this thread.
[Nexus 4 General] kumqwat:
I'm such a tit! Been disappointed that my package was delivered to Yeovil in October. After selecting the correct radio button I now see that it's out for delivery! Hope it's not DOA like my N7 was!
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
Thats what I'm watching for though the TNT man is usually round my end before 10am, so just wishful thinking. I kind of don't want to to be delivered today anyway because I've got stuff to do.:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
That is just criminal, any basic ordering system should do it in the order - As much as to keep customers happy, as to have an efficient ordering system.

Can you imagine queueing in a store for a product launch and they start selling to the middle or end of the queue first? :P
[Nexus 4 General] losimagic:
For those who have received theirs today (or might do, later on), can you tell me if you can hear a high-pitched screeching/whining and popping from the earpiece? I think mine will have to go back, but I'm wondering if it's a common problem, or fairly normal

edit: it does it whether there's a call in progress or not and when the phone is 'asleep'. It stops instantly when I power the phone off.
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
Anyone knows how much is CPW selling it sim free for ?

If it's not that much of a difference, I'd just get it from them.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Interesting, the upside to this is that Google still maintain it's 2-day delivery (unless he said otherwise on the phone) so if he said the worst would be monday or tuesday then he's presuming Friday shipping.....possibly.

I can't speak to them but I asked someone else to and the agent on the phone also mentioned Monday and said the bumper has no effect, yet people with single orders seemingly are stil being told it should ship by this evening.

-edit- just seen on another forum that someone has had two Nexus delivered that were in a single order, so there are multi-item orders being shipped.......just none with the bumper ¬_¬
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
It's something like £349 or £389 I believe. Quite a bit more anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] pichu23:
If it's £349 chances are I'd be getting them :p

£389 hardly a chance then. :D
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
Anyone already received a bumper?

If so, please post some pics. haven't seen a bumper anywhere except the Google product page...

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] mrallen81:
Do you think its possable to still get it delivered today if we havn't got the shipping email???
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
CPW are NOT selling sim free anytime soon.

Most stores have received demo units this morning if you want to have a look though.
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Chances are slim-to-none I'd say, although you never know!

I'd like to see a bumper too gdourado; if only so that I know they do actually have stock, as at the moment I fear they don't and are leaving out orders that contain a bumper as a result.
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
My thought exactely...

So far the bumper is just a myth to me.

Worst thing is I ordered one, so order still pending at the moment...

Cheers!
[Nexus 4 General] Armon2:
Just recieved mine.

Updated to latest OTA, it is awesome.

(it does warm up quite abit when used on charger though).

Shipment notification recieved yesterday at 23.10.

Order placed at 8.13am.

no bumpers, just the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] hmethven:
Can people who have received their Nexus tell us if or when you got your shipping email?
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
yea, but i dont know a phone that doesnt get warm when on the charger... what about in normal use and games?
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
Just called Google regarding future stock levels, got the vaguest answer possible, just check online for updates. Asked where and he said, forums, blogs just online, there will be an update at some point.

Pretty useful...
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I should be spending today playing around with my N4, but instead I've resorted to playing Happy Wheels. :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] BaZ87:
What's the number people are using to call google on?
[Nexus 4 General] Mikk36:
If it wouldn't get warm, I'd say the battery or charging mechanism is bad.
[Nexus 4 General] Spierbal:
My jaw dropped when he told this, makes no sense business sense whatsoever forget at looking at from a consumer point of view. It really boils down to luck it seems, similar to how we ordered in the first place.

Yes if it does get shipped on Friday you are looking at Monday or Tuesday possibly.

I got told two stories, one said its not looking good, instead I should look towards tomorrow once they clear some of the backlog. There is no hold up with my order but don't expect to receive shipping confirmation. The other said, there is possibility of it being shipped today.

At this point I got no belief and just lowered my expectations, that's why I settled on Monday or Tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Mine's turned up despite the lack to tracking info :D
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Seriously? No shipping confirmation whatsoever?
[Nexus 4 General] Powereh:
Honestly?!
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
Yeah, yeah, just keep teasing us mortals that couldn't even get one.......
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
They say that, but I don't know who they're trying to fool. It won't be locked, trust me. O2 don't lock their phones.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Every time I finally convince myself to be realistic and walk away from XDA till I get a shipping email something like this happens :silly:

Is your order pending on wallet?
[Nexus 4 General] jpswer:
I want my shipping email gosh darn it!
[Nexus 4 General] hmethven:
Has money come out of your account, at the moment I called Natwest and they said it's pending.

So it's not on my statement yet.
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
This is quite odd though, I don't understand why your order wouldn't be included in "clear up some of the backlog". It's as though he's suggesting there are orders that are supposedly chosen randomly and all are equal, yet there's a backlog that must be cleared before yours is looked at, the two notions are completely contradicting.
[Nexus 4 General] BaZ87:
Cheers.

Just gave them a call re my order and the agent said that all the order details have been sent to TNT and it's them that then deciding the order they get sent out.
[Nexus 4 General] sebbo90:
Anyone got there's sent from the Leeds depo? Mine seems to be there since 7 this morning but not out for shopping to York :s
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Those getting excited about this - He says tracking info, not shipping confirmation. Probably using consignment number rather than reference.
[Nexus 4 General] Mikk36:
Pics or didn't happen :)
[Nexus 4 General] hmethven:
What's your order status in Wallet?
[Nexus 4 General] spences10:
Thats the exact email I got, I ordered mine @ ~08:50 what time you order yours?

Your what has turned up? Your phone? Or your shipping confirmation?
[Nexus 4 General] BaZ87:
Pending with a delivery estimate of the 15th on play store.
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Why would I lie?
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
You got the shipping email though right, just tracking wasn't working with TNT?
[Nexus 4 General] Powereh:
This :p

Nice one though!
[Nexus 4 General] BaZ87:
As above, did you get a shipping email or did it just randomly turn up?
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
Just come off the phone with Google.

Restock "within the next 2 weeks".
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Nope, no shipping info. Turned up out of the blue.
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Excellent, although very poor from Google's end!

Sorry I presumed this would be down to the consignment vs reference number thing with TNT delivery.

Does it still say pending / Shipping estimate / Delivery estimate in Wallet / Play Store?
[Nexus 4 General] SIDKIMA:
That was what i was hoping for so I called TNT and asked if anything was coming to my postcode, no such luck.
[Nexus 4 General] Powereh:
I hold some hope then I will get mine today!

It says Delivery estimate 15 November 2012 in the play store so I hope so! Nice one again on the new toy! :D Sorry I didn't mean to call you a liar.
[Nexus 4 General] italia0101:
Yea, thats what i thought it would be, still... got page monitor running like a champ
[Nexus 4 General] Higgsy:
Rusty had your google accounts changed to say the order was complete/it had shipped or was that still showing pending.?
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Good idea, going to do this. What number did you call?
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
So, probably, the end of the month
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
WHAAAT?!! They're being delivered without ANY warning? No emails, no anything?

Oh God, what if they tried to deliver this morning when I was out?!! I could have missed them oh no oh no oh no that just won't do.

On the other hand, the fact I could get it later today is a very welcome one indeed oh yes it is yes indeedy do yes.
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
I guess.

I made a point of suggesting they might want to make their store a little more robust for the next wave - the guy agreed with me 'cos he's waiting on an N10.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
It will probably only be a handful that get through this way.
[Nexus 4 General] Spierbal:
lol this fits right in with random processing.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
If out of the thousands scanned some might get by without scanning its still going to get to you but none of the info will be updated. Because it all relies on TNT to scan it.
[Nexus 4 General] SIDKIMA:
I called +448451247365 through skype then they transfered me to someone else. let me know what they say.
[Nexus 4 General] krohme:
has anyone here purchased the phone from o2 or anywhere else?? or is everyone gonna be patient till Google re-stock?

this whole nexus 4 hunt is making me feel like a crack fiend :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Well TNT will be scanning it at every stage, but if it misses the first scan (connected to Google's accounts) Google's accounts won't update and send the email / associate the tracking number.
[Nexus 4 General] jelli:
I am waiting for the restock, I like others had the Nexus 4 in my cart and when I got to checkout it was out of stock. Happy to wait and use the money saved to fund my accessories.

Hope everyone enjoys their Nexus 4's this week and over the weekend *shakes angry fist* :P
[Nexus 4 General] CodeMonkey:
About to pop into town on my lunchbreak.

Patience is thin, but don't want to pay O2 prices.
[Nexus 4 General] fleonard:
This should be a good idea, it's pointless to have another 20 minute sales
[Nexus 4 General] SIDKIMA:
Does that mean that it will remain pending and you wouldn't get charged? :P
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
Lol, I think some people here are actually going slightly nuts!

Be strong, it'll come soon enough. Go read a book or have a wank or something
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
No change.

Still pending and latest status update is: "13 Nov Google Commerce Ltd received your order."
[Nexus 4 General] Nexx:
Just had mine arrive =D

Time to start playing
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Lol I doubt it, there must be another stage or some manual checking of orders that don't appear to have gone out. Google will have the tracking info for each parcel from when they are printed.

On the other hand the odd parcel might just get stuck in the email system and just not update straight away.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
ahhhhh Work starts at 2 and its 11:40 now hurry it up TNT! :p
[Nexus 4 General] Keithoms:
Does yours look like this?
[Nexus 4 General] hmethven:
Can you give us information on your order status/shipping notices etc?
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
Wow.. haha TNT better turn up at my door!
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
Nope, still got the shipping estimate up.
[Nexus 4 General] Powereh:
This is exactly the same as mine. I live in hope once again!
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
I wonder what impact Google had made on economy worldwide with all the sickies sitting at home waiting for delivery :D

Probably not much, as only a few managed to order one...
[Nexus 4 General] Bilhouse:
I have never dealt with such an incompetent company before:

First they offered no pre-orders.

Then there was no confirmation of a launch time.

Then there was all the hassle associated with placing an order - errors and crashes etc.

Then they took the money out of my account 48 hours before shipping the item or even notifying me that my order was successful.

Now TNT just delivered my device and guess what? Another mammoth **** up which I should have expected from such an inept company.

They sent me an 8GB model. Even though I ordered and was charged for a 16GB Nexus 4!

Google can f**k off.

:)
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Just had a quick look through the other countries N4 threads F3'ing for "bumper".

I couldn't find a single instance of a shipped order with a bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
But it still a Bumperless order..
[Nexus 4 General] Rusty!:
The lockscreen widget OTA has arrived... gonna use the CWM recovery builder and get root in a sec.
[Nexus 4 General] gdourado:
Ahah...

The bumper doesn't exist... It is just a Hoax! lol...

Stupid of me to have ordered one though...
[Nexus 4 General] Nexx:
Order Date: 13 November 2012 08:19:47

Order Status (Play Store): Delivered

Order Status (Google Wallet): Your order has been shipped!

Shipping E-Mail: 14 November 2012 21:33

Arrived: 15 Nov 2012 / 10:55:00 / MILTON / Shipment delivered in good condition.
[Nexus 4 General] Powereh:
Mine is a single order nothing else no bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] Audioboxer:
Woah, as bad as everything has been with ordering, that is downright the worst thing yet - Not sending out the right product.

Jeeez, just how incompetent can we go here?

I bet you no one who bought an 8GB gets a 16GB /rolleyes
[Nexus 4 General] losimagic:
Anyone checked for earpiece screeching/whining and clicking?
[Nexus 4 General] rudedog1979:
Anybody in London that got 2 and want to sell one?

please send me a PM, unless you going to sell it on ebay :D

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 General] 3Shirts:
If they do, they are unlikely to complain or send it back!
[Nexus 4 General] allan1st:
Have shipped email last evening with TNT ref number. TNT shows out for delivery this morning, and the latest status is Please Call. So called TNT but they denied having received the package from Google. Called google, and they confirmed that it has been collected by TNT. Weired, Any suggestion?
[Nexus 4 General] @home:
Lucky you - I ordered 8.27 13 Nov & so far it's stagnant as big dead thing - rang google it will be next week b4 I get mine - Jeeez
[Nexus 4 General] TheBishopOfSoho:
I'll stick my oar in and also say Im willing to pay a bit extra for a 16Gb N4 if anyone has one spare in London! Anyone get lucky with a large order?
[Nexus 4 General] Keithoms:
So does anyone else have the order listed as 'Complete' like me but with no estimates or shipping or anything?
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidAlistair:
Anyone is Edinburgh/fife in Scotland got theirs?
[Nexus 4 General] BaZ87:
Arrived at work and mines here waiting for me :D

No shipping email and still says pending on wallet. At work so won't be able to answer the inevitable interrogation but I swear I've received mine without any shipping. I even called google this morning and they didn't think mine had been shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] Tibbz96:
I'm really hoping for mine to turn up today! 2 people with no confirmation so far haha!
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
If anyone has a spare in or around Bristol then I'll come and get it off them.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Yes, my Nexus 4 has this. It's nothing to worry about though. It is equal to Est. 15th.
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
Id be really hopeful after those that didn't get any shipping confirmation receiving theirs......if only I hadn't ordered that cursed bumper lol.
[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Thanks, I will no longer be leaving my house and every knock at the door shall be attended with extreme quickness.

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM ----------

Some people ordered the bumper too and still got their devices already sans bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] ludalex07:
For when is scheduled the next UK store restock (at least according to rumors)?
[Nexus 4 General] antonusklesk:
I think these cases were where the bumper was in a separate order, not a single order with both the handset and the bumper in it.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny80y:
I GOT MINE!!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] androidy:
Really! Wooo, cool - don't mind when my Bumper arrives, I just want my phone as my current phone finishes on ebay tomorrow and I go on hols for a week on Saturday.
[Nexus 4 General] t0ph0id:
A couple of weeks.
