From what I know with working in the debit card sector, they can't change the amount that you authorised at time of purchase. It's to protect you as a buyer. This is why they have to process the refund separately. Only way to take a lower value is to expire the pending transaction on your account and then make you re-process the whole thing again where you then give authorisation for the new amount. So yeah it's a security thing.
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
Anybody tried to contact google play. I just get a message saying due to high demand they cannot speak to me right now and it hangs up.

Anyone got any phone numbers i can ring apart from 0800 328 6081
[Nexus 4 General] :
Just watched the US thread as they went back into stock again in play store US.

They had cart errors, out of stock/in stock F5 issue and the 8GB says 5-6 weeks delivers. 16GB is apparently 1-2 weeks.

Looks like again Google has not learnt any lessons
[Nexus 4 General] Guitarfreak26:
I got told we will get a notification.. Strange lol
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
I am still waiting, Just me?
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Me too 16GB with a bumper. The damn bumper haha
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
I wouldn't say that, they have learned to put a more realistic shipping estimate on the site, to limit orders to 2 and also how to send out the notification emails.

Tiny step in the correct direction.
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
I didnt even order a bumper, ordered a 16GB at 8:32 and nothing, they have borrowed the money however..
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
to all people with emails from google,did you buy weeks ago??
[Nexus 4 General] james_d:
Yeah on the 13th at 8am
[Nexus 4 General] teamtd11:
Still waiting, Ordered with a Nexus 10
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
order vs ship email

Hi Yes within minutes of going on sale on the 13th is when I ordered

They don't seem to be quite chronological - the first round of deliveries and this round neither.

Disappointing they went on Sale in USA and sold out in 10mins again

Google not handling this too well again

:(
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Understatement of the year..
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Poor show

That is really rough

My pending amount disappeared

It has re-appeared this evening when I got the tracking email

I am gutted for people :(
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
jeeeezo what a wait

---------- Post added at 10:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:55 PM ----------

as the man said,understatement of the year,they deserve every bad press they get
[Nexus 4 General] roughavoc:
Tell me about it.. sucks
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
After reading the last 30 pages or so on the shipping thread as I was bored I just kept going to the next and another 1 or 2 would be added lol it looks like it was never opened up with new stock but just basically pre-orders with longer delivery dates as mentioned in a post above so that they don't need to give the shipping costs back this time. Seems they've learned one thing, don't shoot yourself in the foot with unrealistic shipping dates otherwise you lose overpriced shipping costs ;)

Let's hope for all those that didn't order first time around or jump on the O2 TV deal they manage to get a better service when they offer it on the Play Store here as they're doing worse then the first time at the moment over there.
[Nexus 4 General] zippyijk:
Tell me about it.

At least you got a tracking mail!

The bank have removed the money from my account last night again but I still haven't heard anything.

On top of that my N10 32GB is still sitting there pending and no idea when I'm going to get that.
[Nexus 4 General] CrazyPeter:
What make it so expensive that few want to bother? As that's what's Apple's doing... I suggest you get one of those if you don't want to wait.

The Nexus 4 is clearly REALLY popular because of it's low pricing, and the media attention it's got as a result means it's unlikely to get any easier to get ome anyone time soon.

I'm guessing LG are making them as quick as they can, but production leadtimes at this time of year are VERY high.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Ditto
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
well if thats as quick as lg can make them they must be the worst production company thats ever produced,
[Nexus 4 General] monkfish_lad:
I am no so sure LG will be making them as quickly as they can. I bet they are annoyed over the popularity of the phone and all the hype it is getting. Surely they have lost out big time on Optimus G sales in the countries the N4 is available.

It might just be me being negative as my inbox stiill says,

'Woohoo! You've read all the messages in your inbox.'
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
The Optimus G is IIRC only available in the US, so it might hit sales there but they've not lost anything anywhere else.

In fact, given how similar they are and the Optimus G has proper LTE, I'd even buy one instead, if LG were prepared to sell me one.
[Nexus 4 General] monkfish_lad:
Do you reckon LTE is even worth it in the UK atm? Very limited coverage and massively expensive EE contracts starting with 500mb of data. Mainstream and affordable LTE is at least 2 years off once we get some competition between networks and decent coverage. Just in time to upgrade from the Nexus 4 I hope.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
lol. Play store just updated with a message..

"Google Play is currently experiencing very high traffic. Nexus 4 is not sold out and will still be available for purchase. Please try again shortly. Thank you for your patience."

Except this is the UK store. It looks pretty sold out to me..
[Nexus 4 General] stennett:
Google play UK stating not sold out just high traffic?
[Nexus 4 General] Kas206:
Just saw that too. I think its meant for the US site
[Nexus 4 General] :
This just appeared on the Google Play UK site.

Think it is just to do with the USA putting theres back on sale
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
LTE chipsets get you DC-HSPA+ in the interim, and I reckon that the other carriers will be rolling LTE out as soon as they can get permission to use the right frequencies. EE are just ripoff merchants taking advantage of the fact they got in first.
[Nexus 4 General] Teeohbee:
Just seen that! Damn you Google!
[Nexus 4 General] AvRS:
Haha Page Monitor came up on mine with that too. Those banners must be global settings then rather than being able to just show for the US store.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
I wonder how much of the high traffic is people like us monitoring the page :p
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
Even with the 'secret' LTE enabled, the frequencies the N4 has for LTE

won't

be the ones any UK carrier will use ...
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
That's why I said I'd buy an Optimus G if LG would sell me one...
[Nexus 4 General] wolfboy1984:
Has anyone got the 4.2.1 update through yet???

Not to rub it in to anyone waiting for an N4 btw... (:p)
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
they are on ebay
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Dammit google! Stop updating your page.. I nearly jump out of my skin every time page monitor pops up.
[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
I have! (On my Nexus 7 ;) )

On an unrelated note, the high traffic banner has just been taken off. Dunno if this means the Nexus 4 is now out of stock again, or if they've just enabled geolocation on the banner.

"Cuckoo! Cuckoo!"
[Nexus 4 General] Makaijin:
Now the question is, will the N4 be for sale again in the UK tomorrow at 8 am?
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
traffic sign has gone away :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
Sorry if this is relevant, but does TNT RE-deliver on saturdays? and is their depot open on saturdays?

[Nexus 4 General] hazzamon:
Find your nearest depot here and give them a ring.
[Nexus 4 General] :
I doubt it but here's hoping!!
[Nexus 4 General] jvmaniac:
great, thanks!

I still no shipping notice for my 16gig ordered on 13th @ 8:28. Ffs.

I haven't received cos I'm rooted waiting for an official CyanogenMod.

I don't like December anyway... Too expensive.

[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Wish google would give us some luvvin'. I want to know what the lead times are here, then I can decide whether it's better to take the hit on the extra 100 quid to get it payg.
[Nexus 4 General] tonybhoy:
wish google would hand over production to samsung
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
I bet google wish they could to, after missing thanksgiving in the US *and* Christmas in the rest of the world.
[Nexus 4 General] zukuvybz:
hahaha :p
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
To all those who have their phones already: did it take 2 days from when you got the 'shipping' email (god I hate using that word when there's clearly no ships involved!) or did it get delivered the very next day?

Got my email yesterday, should I expect delivery thursday or today?
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
TNT have a delivery promise of 2 day max for these type of deliveries. But most take only one day. It totally depends on your location rural might take the two days.

If you live in the same postal area as your nearest depot good chance of 1 day.

If you live in a large town depot in neighbouring city then again good chance of 1 day

[Nexus 4 General] akhan47:
Got 4.2.1 on my Nexus 4, 7 and 10. Had to force it on all 3 using the Google Services Framework trick a few times.
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
In Plymouth

Nearest depo is Exeter, an hour away hmmm... here's hoping!
[Nexus 4 General] zukuvybz:
I remember people talking about a rattling sound, heard it on my phone then i held the buttons and no rattling sound I got scared for a second :p
[Nexus 4 General] jholt1:
I live in Plymouth and my Nexus came the next day.

EDIT: I also got the Nexus 7, the next day. The same guy delivered it on both occasions.

[Nexus 4 General] g47:
Anyone ordered a bumper?

Have mine ordered since the 15th and still no update.
[Nexus 4 General] iucidium:
Yeah. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] g47:
I just got an email today after a question of mine, mentioning that my order will be shipping shortly.

The thing is what short of timescale is shortly.

Shortly in hours, days, months?

No idea.

[Nexus 4 General] MizuhoChan:
Incidentally, my tracking works now. Got to use reference number and it shows that it's in transit =)

Express delivery, hurrah.
[Nexus 4 General] jholt1:
It's mine, my own, my precious!

Seriously though I am having dreams of me breaking the glass on the back. I wake up and run to it to see if it was real or not...
[Nexus 4 General] lombardo8:
There was no email saying they wouldn't take it. You would only have got that if you kept bugging a Play CSR and he sent yoi am email telling you what you wanted to hear to get you off his back. You want your phone quick yet you are asking Google to dedicate scarce resources to edit thousands of orders. It makes more sense to process the orders as they are on the system and apply an automatic credit in the future.
[Nexus 4 General] Joey-UK:
My tracking number also works now. :D

And it looks like its going to be delivered today
[Nexus 4 General] stennett:
Hope round 2 in the UK starts soon!

Still sweet F. A. For me. All I ordered was 1 n4 16gig @8:28 on the 13th.

Same order, order time and date for me and still no tracking number. I did get the 'scheduled to ship this week' mail though.
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
rumors about uk restock? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
Yeah I got that too. You in Essex /south east by any chance?
[Nexus 4 General] suhail_kapoor:
Me too .. called google thet said we have sent your order to shipper for processing .. but tnt doesn't have it and I have no tracking number
[Nexus 4 General] furrypotato:
Looks like no 8am restock for us.....

Last hope is that it happens later today, as it did in the us yesterday.

But its good to hear that orders from 13th are being shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] :
I don't think we'll be seeing a restock until the 13th of December (when o2 exclusivity ends).
[Nexus 4 General] ghalalb:
I hate to bring not so positive news, but this is a failed launch, I was just reading the US thread, some of the peeps that ordered yesterday have been told their device won't ship for another 2 to 3 weeks.

I. Hope. It. Is. Not. True.
[Nexus 4 General] wbbigdave:
Unfortunately it is probably very true, the problem is that the original quote from the Play Store was "The Nexus 4 will be available for purchase later today" which means jack spit in terms of getting the devices into the hands of consumers...

Sad but true.
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
I reckon that part of the launch plan was to use the limited play store availability to promote sales through O2 etc.

Otherwise, I don't see why retailers would want to stock the device at 100+ more than Google.
[Nexus 4 General] ghalalb:
Totally agree. So many of us have crumbled and bought from stores, so it has worked. I've been checking CPW stock in my area (as I expect my wife to crumble at any moment and allow me to buy for an extra £100), and they aren't moving the unit's very quickly, but then O2 has had a better offer (with the TV deal). But still, I can't help but feel there has been more hype about this device than actual sales numbers.

Drip feed GP, get us in a frenzy trying to buy as GP sells out, then we buy from a store, then drip feed GP again, repeat. Google you tease........
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
Just called Screwgle Play.

1st advisor sounded helpful, and I could hear him tapping away at some sort of system where he was checking order numbers. Got cut off. Fan-frickin-tastic.

called back. Got a bellend who said it was on back order for up to 3 weeks. Told him I got the email about shipping this week, he said when it ships I will get tracking info.

NO ****.

I was asking whether there was a problem with it being shipped, not whether I will get tracking info.

I hate this. I really do. It isn't an insignificant amount that they have taken from my account. I want to know if I will get the device I am paying for.
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
"don't be evil" :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Vectoryzed:
Guys, so was a few hours ago the Nexus 4 available in UK Play Store (and then it goes sold out)?

Or was it never in stock?

I'm not understanding, there are some people that say the device was in stock for just 5 minutes and the other one that say it never was in stock in UK.

What is the situation?

Thank you.
[Nexus 4 General] TonyHoyle:
Never in stock. Only the US got this batch.
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
I haven't seen anyone saying it has been on sale today in the UK.

As far as I know, nothing has changed.
[Nexus 4 General] 12078215:
Rang the play store yesterday and the guy on the phone said he doesn't know why it shows as in stock in the UK. From what he could see on the ordering system there was no availability on them world wide.
[Nexus 4 General] Vectoryzed:
Thank you guys! :D
[Nexus 4 General] L0cke:
Well I'm hoping that we'll see another launch soon, maybe this week, as that US had theirs yesterday. However I am not going to be happy if they go on sale and I see that they'll ship within 4-5 weeks! Or worse see the text "Ships when it ships". I think I'll leave it if so.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Preorder or 2nd batch, however you want to call it. My question is: when is our turn?
[Nexus 4 General] ChrisJ:
North-East...
[Nexus 4 General] drpepe:
I will hope to at least pre order when I can.

I'm not too bothered about having it *NOW* I just want to order and forget about it, rather than trying to catch a ridiculous 20min frantic window of opportunity that I already missed first time around... :thumbdown:
[Nexus 4 General] uberNoobZA:
If you cancelled an order for a Nexus 4, even if the device(s) show up as cancelled in your Play order history, Google does not allow you to order more. For a brief second last night stock of the 16GB Nexus 4 seemed to be available, but it showed me 'you have reached your purchase limit on this item'

LOL
[Nexus 4 General] zibby64:
after the people who ordered on the 13th have theirs :p

[Nexus 4 General] cityheadache:
My 16GB is finally out for delivery and should be here in a few hours! Very excited. Oh, and I'm in North London.

By the way, if your tracking number doesn't seem to bring up any information, try inputting it as the reference number rather than consignment which is selected by default.
[Nexus 4 General] UberGinge:
I'm still awaiting my Nexus 10! I have the TNT tracking number but it's not recognized as nothing has been sent. Can't cancel my order either since it's apparently been sent. Yay me.
[Nexus 4 General] majo_scigo:
Did you get an email from google ? if so when?
[Nexus 4 General] culac:
Thanks for that, I was fretting about it not finding any information.

But now it just says 'Shipment loaded to vehicle.'. Does that mean out for delivery? :S
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:
Same here mate. I spoke to two different CSR this morning, one telling me that they will ship the phone separately, the other telling me they can't split the order...

Got a shipping this week email, and a tracking number last night.

[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
I see that you are unaware of the rules round here. Please search in future, as it is in the first post of the thread.

NO BRANDING, UNLOCKED, ETC. THIS WRITING IS BIG AND I HATE IT."
[Nexus 4 General] deejay187:

@jtc42 - Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] gbroon:
Your mistake was in thinking the CSR could give accurate information.
[Nexus 4 General] znanev:
I was sure they will not have any useful info, just asked them to remove the f**in' bumper from my order.. but they are really useless.

On a side note, I've read at least two cases of bumpers shipped in other threads - one in US and one in Germany. So let's hope UK will follow soon :)
[Nexus 4 General] supercakefish:
Ah it's been 'out for delivery' since 8am now. When will it arrive? I hate playing this waiting game, I'm paranoid I'm going to miss it - it can arrive anytime 'till half 6 in the evening! I was hoping on being able to leave the house today...
[Nexus 4 General] BaronVonJimmy:
toofcai several

There's still people (myself for one) who didn't order a bumper, but still haven't heard anything. Just a single 16GB for me, heard nothing since the "will be shipped this week" e-mail on Monday.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkShadowAy:
Ditto!
[Nexus 4 General] rickykemp:
Exactly the same with mine.
[Nexus 4 General] snowdej:
Click the link of the for the depot it gives a phone number

Ask for the traffic department

Ask them to message the driver for an eta

They will ask for your consignment number I.e not the one Google have you but the TNT one

They will ask you to call back in 15 mins for an answer

[Nexus 4 General] ck2009:
Same here :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] PWF:
So I'm in the same boat as a lot of you, order just a Nexus 4 16GB at 8:29 on the 13th and have heard nothing since the "Your Nexus 4 order is scheduled to ship this week" e-mail.

So I've just rang Google and the CSR told my that my phone has been sent to the shipper (TNT) and should be with me in the next day or so. Looks like they are trying to clear all back orders by the end of the week. And once the phones are with TNT it's up to them which they send out first, most likely to do with delivery routes as previously suggested.

Also, I purchased a bumper in a seperate order (knowing that it was back ordered, but hoping for free shipping) and the CSR said that that should be shipping at the end of this week, beginning of next week. Oh and I got free shipping! :cool:

However, don't take any of this as gospel as we all know what Google are like!
[Nexus 4 General] suhail_kapoor:
Yup just got of the phone with Screwgle ...told me exact same story; that my phone has been sent to the shipper (TNT) and should be with me in the next day or so.

Either we got the same CSR or this is just a standard answer.
[Nexus 4 General] PWF:
Well it looks promising at least!
