Aw man, that sucks. :( Hope they sort it quickly for you.

I think you get to hang on to the phone until the replacement arrives so if it's functional you can use it at least. Still a pain given how many apps/games don't let you sync/copy settings/saves between devices (how long has the API to do it been in android? About two years now... Nothing seems to use it).
[Nexus 4 General] Tijmen:
Yay! Arrived today, let's hope it won't get lost on a boat on it's way across the Channel... :fingerscrossed:
[Nexus 4 General] rbanaco:
That LG Quality Control... if it wasn't inside the TNT truck or if it was inside hardware issue but being easy for the eye to see it's not acceptable =/

Well good luck for the return! hope you get the replacement soon! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
For the Northern Ireland guys who haven't been delivered yet but got their shipping, I just phoned up.

Phoned up the warehouse in Belfast - guy seemed a bit pissed off, and immediately said "is this for the Nexus?" and said the Belfast department had nothing to do with it, so he gave me the number for the Dublin branch.

Phoned them up....they have our phones (or mine at least) and he said it'll be with me tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] madwyn:
Just received it. There is even a golden hair in the box...
[Nexus 4 General] vaniok:
Got it. Google you are bastards, but I LOVE U!!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
Anyone in sw London has just received his phone? My depot is Vauxhall
[Nexus 4 General] Tank-Montana:
Just got mine too, but the guy only had one box when I was expecting my Nexus 7's too.

He said he only had one and to give TNT a call, 2 minutes later another knock at the door... "Look what I found" haha :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
If you're just migrating, rather than running concurrently, the app from one device to another then surely something like Titanium backup (app + data) will work, wouldn't it?

If it's game saves you're after then most just save them in their own folder on /sdcard/ . Failing that then also copy across /sdcard/android/ which also contains downloaded game data. Handy for games where it needs a few gigs!
[Nexus 4 General] bhoyjd:
so...any shipping emails today?
[Nexus 4 General] Doohicky:
This I DO NOT LIKE. Does that mean a failed delivery means a 200 mile round trip to collect? seriously?
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
http://www.tnt-redelivery.co.uk/
[Nexus 4 General] kxuli:
Does this mean that I could re-deliver it to another country? that would be AWESOME!
[Nexus 4 General] smallishnote:
Northern Ireland are getting UTI for some strange reason
[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
Northern Ireland orders are not being shipping with TNT. Speaking of Northern Ireland orders, I just received another shipping email with the same tracking number. Anyne else?
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
Not likely, at least not without a fee. Step through the process and enter some details and see what comes up :)
[Nexus 4 General] Vahndroid84:
DELIVERED!!!!! I think i'm going to cry! :laugh::laugh::laugh:

however...there is another step to fulfill....a "next day" shipping to Rome with UPS!!!

Wish you all the best guys!!! Hope that the rest of you that havent got yet their shipping email or their package will have it soon

This thread has been a very big support through this weeks :)
[Nexus 4 General] smallishnote:
I got one at around 12:30pm today, but nothing since. Think it might have been sent when it reached the Dublin depot
[Nexus 4 General] Doohicky:
Yeah I got another one. at 2.32 pm

I will be really annoyed if they are delivering from Dublin office and therefore collection is from there too.

Of course I am off work tomorrow so hopefully I will be there for it. But it is also my work do tonight so I will be seriously hungover and getting up out of bed early to wait is not something I am looking forward to.
[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
Congratulations! You finally got it :P
[Nexus 4 General] spvnexus:
Oh joy this f**king saga continues.

Tuesday 0430 shipping email, no TNT tracking, not on a van,

Today 0200 new shipping email now with TNT tracking details, just found out that its now not on van, now it MIGHT be with me tomorrow.

WHAT A JOKE, how many days do I need to take off work for next day delivery. TNT just blame Google and of course I believe them!!
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Same here. Very weird. I got another this morning.

Anyway i have now recieved both of my Nexus 4's ;) First one came yesterday morning and my mum was in so she collected it. Second came this morning but noone was in but thankfully the tnt guy used common sense and squashed i through the catflap.

So thats it for me now on here. Thanks everyone for your support and helpfulness. I hope everyone with a prechristmas estimate gets theres and il see you all on the Development Forums! :D

Cheers

Nathtech
[Nexus 4 General] Daidodactyl:
Glad I'm not the only one. So you guys think we'll get them tomorrow?
[Nexus 4 General] ozzrahog:
At last, don't feel guilty about having mine now
[Nexus 4 General] vlad1:
I almost got mine just now - apparently the driver came round and I didn't hear the buzzer. I blame the noisy espresso machine :mad: At least I can drive down to pick it up later today...
[Nexus 4 General] misrasandeep:
Ordered : Dec 04 - 5:08 PM still no email or any + signs. Only change is that I can see order date as 19th in play store and pre-order as status.

Is there someone still with the same status or Google fall short of just one device which was for me :(
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
Wow haha i thought he was going to give me ANOTHER nexus 4 lol ;) But no he had to rescan the parcel? Weird. Anyway heres a teaser for you all still waiting lol.
[Nexus 4 General] donothurtme:
So apparently I "missed my delivery" despite three people being at home and not one bell ringing? Anyone know how much of a hassle redelivery is? As if Google wasn't stupid enough, now I have to deal with TNT's crap?
[Nexus 4 General] dijonemon:
Couple of hours with the Nexus 4 and i can honestly say ....... worth selling the S3 for :)

It's a gorgeous looking device but I can seriously see my kids smashing the back by jumping up at me while its in my pocket so a bit fragile to me, I will eagerly await the TPU case I ordered and the screen protectors.
[Nexus 4 General] andy_1983:
My 16GB N4 was listed as 'Out for delivery' at 7.16 AM this morning but there's been no movement on it since - hoping that it'll be there when I get home from work and that TNT have just been slow to update the status. Is there any way it could NOT come today?
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
As long as you're not in Northern Ireland then visit this...

http://www.tnt-redelivery.co.uk/
[Nexus 4 General] singhsinghy:
You guys received 16gb or 8gb models? Most of the people I know getting their phones ordered 8gb ones. I've ordered a 16gb on the 5th of Dec, on play store it say 'pre-order' which seems lame and annoying! Anyone else got the pre-order status?
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
I ordered two 16gb versions and both have been delivered to me.
[Nexus 4 General] smallishnote:
I hope so :silly:. The anticipation reminds me of when I was a kid waiting for Christmas lol
[Nexus 4 General] Harv.!:
Just to give you an update on my damaged Nexus 4 which arrived a few hours ago.

I've decided to ask for a full refund and forget all about the Nexus 4 and Google's attempts to sell me one...it's caused me way too much hassle. The fact that it turned up damaged after trying to buy one since November made me smile...I don't think I'm meant to have this phone.

Thanks for all the information everyone has been posting in the past few weeks, I really appreciate it...maybe Google should consider hiring some you guys to sort out their problems, you definitely have more knowledge and common sense.

Enjoy your phones when you eventually get them.

Harv.!

[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
Harv,

It's a shame to hear about your damaged phone but at least you're no washing your hands of it all.

What phone are you moving on/staying with?
[Nexus 4 General] singhsinghy:
Lucky man! I'm vigorously rubbing my eyes every morning by the window hoping an orange truck will appear outside!
[Nexus 4 General] Harv.!:
Hi Keitaro,

I've got a HTC Desire C which works fine. I'm a photographer and was looking forward to a better camera and better ips screen, but it wasn't to be.

It's just too much...I just wasted a whole day waiting for TNT and everyone here knows about all the ordering issues.

A phone shouldn't be causing me these type of problems...time to move on.
[Nexus 4 General] Nathtech:
I feel for you mate! Just keep positive and it will eventually arive. Anyway i cant use them untill christmas so i havent even looked at the phone yet, but im just glad i dont have to worry about google f*cking it all up anymore.

Anyway i hope yours comes tonight mate! :D
[Nexus 4 General] bhoyjd:
Nothing can take my mind of this order, I have a feeling I have been given false hope from a CSR again :(
[Nexus 4 General] dijonemon:
Mine was delivered 5 hours ago, still says 'Out For Delivery'.

The delivery guy did not have an electronic device with him, so I'm guessing it'll update once he gets back to the depot.
[Nexus 4 General] FTMDan:
Mine arrived about 2 hours ago, I absolutely love it! Seriously worth the wait, so much better than even my Galaxy Nexus.
[Nexus 4 General] Nifdy:
Delighted to have got my phone today!

Got shipping email at 5.33pm yesterday and 1.03am today.

Got to my nearest depot at 4.30am in Alton. Out for delivery at 08.13am.

Delivered to my door at 11.35am!

Sorted!
[Nexus 4 General] BadarChaudhry:
until what time TNT deliver parcels? mine is out for delivery since 8:30am and nothing up until now....its 16:45 now...
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
6pm apparently.
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
Another user mentioned that he spoke to his delivery driver and he said that the previous day he had worked until 8pm O_o although that probably won't be the same everywhere.
[Nexus 4 General] BadarChaudhry:
How was he able to speak with driver?
[Nexus 4 General] Keitaro:
The driver delivered his Nexus 4 and he asked him whilst he was signing for it :)
[Nexus 4 General] BadarChaudhry:
opps i thought he speak to ddriver before his phone was delivered..my bad
[Nexus 4 General] hunnymonster:
Thank $DEITY for that.

19 Dec 2012 08:04:36 BARKING Out for delivery

19 Dec 2012 16:22:10 BARKING Shipment held. Follow up actions underway.

Called TNT and they last said sole to someone at depot and said there is a problem with documentation. Lady said call Google to get it resolved.

Called Google they said that shouldn't be the case and they should deliver. Called TNT again couldn't get hold of someone at depot so hung up

Very cowboy service by TNT when they had it yesterday and then in the morning it was out for delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
To those who have not already got their shipping emails or their nexus 4 delivered, I sure do hope that you all get it soon. This is by far the best phone I have owned, especially for the price. Btw, the CyanogenMod nightly releases for this device are good for usage as a daily driver, installed this ROM just half a hour after I received the phone. Ive had this phone for almost five hours now, it's great.
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
Its nearly that time again...

Good luck everyone :)

507 1-2 weeks / moved from 4th - 19th
[Nexus 4 General] bhoyjd:
What do shipping emails often come around more in the afternoon? I'm desperate now.
[Nexus 4 General] wooger:
They've run from 5pm to 4am GMT all this week.
[Nexus 4 General] catlog:
Indeed it has been great support. :D

Good to see it's now delivered via TNT, hope you get it to Rome soon.
[Nexus 4 General] jayjay2244:
Glitch? Does this mean it will be shipped this week, or a delivery refund? :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Leo Davidson:
That's ridiculous, it shouldn't take them 8 hours from the final dispatch to your door to then work put there's a paperwork problem.

Still waiting for mine, losing hope, singing "Where is my phone?" in my head to The Pixies' "Where is my mind?" :( Webcam trained at the front door just in case. Argh. This is why I typically buy things I really want from stores, not online.

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Also, I will never again laugh at people who queue overnight outside stores to get new phones. The crap we've endured over the last month, and still are enduring in some cases, is way worse than spending a day in a line hanging out with people.

I wish there was more choice when it comes to Nexus devices, both in manufacturer/design and how to buy them without paying 30% extra. Or that Google, the OEMs and the carriers would sort out the abysmal way non-Nexus phones (don't) get OS updates. I never want to got through the process of buying a device from Google again.
[Nexus 4 General] Grizzle34:
WOOOOOOO

Mines has been shipped so will likely see it tomorrow
[Nexus 4 General] cadml:
Mine has shipped.

Ordered Dec 4 5:06:03 PM 1-2 weeker, updated Dec 19.
[Nexus 4 General] smallishnote:
And my HTC Desire has just **** itself. Again.

This phone can't come soon enough
[Nexus 4 General] bhoyjd:
shipments coming through? c'mon Google don't let this be another let down.
[Nexus 4 General] cchaos:
No idea. I had another email exactly the same today and I was kinda "what the" as well. Be pleased if they did send two out but Im sure mine was all the same tracking numbers.

Anyway, my phone turned up today at 9.30amish. Going by how far away the Alton depot is from me then I wouild say that I was their first job of the morning! :laugh:

Wasn't without a bit of disappointment again from Google:

By this stage I had already cleared a notification from Package Buddy (and a big thanks to whoever posted a link to it here - worked a treat. Didnt go off when the package actually arrived but a hour later so I guess thats when TNT decided to update their site more than anything) saying that my order was on the van waiting, so I sent this:

I haven't had anything as a response to that; I cant think why not :p
[Nexus 4 General] Grizzle34:
Seems like it mate i know how your feeling waiting.... been a bloody nightmare.
[Nexus 4 General] CdRsKuLL:
Mine arrived yesterday and its replacing my s3.. Got to say I'm loving it so far !!!

Was well worth the wait.

[Nexus 4 General] errukine:

Both stating that they'll be looking into my "matter". One of them was in French!

Still no updates regarding 4th -> 19th Play store update folk, it seems.

Northern Ireland Shipment

Just looked at my tracking information and it saids"(RED)19/12/12 - SHORT SHIPPED EX C2K - NOT SCANNED"

Anyone whose phone shipped by UTI see the same thing or anyone know what does it mean?

Please help:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
Glad package buddy worked for you!

I got it for a Royal Mail delivery that none of the other apps would let me track, fed up I emailed the developer and got a response 15 minutes later saying they had fixed something on the backend server and it should work now. It did. Fantastic support for FREE - so I bought the pro version - been very useful the last few weeks!

Congrats on your phone!
[Nexus 4 General] bengrendon:
After what seems.like the longest day at work ever I am 20 min away from my new phone which is waiting for me at home. So pleased it is finally here but I will have my doubts about ordering from Google play store again in the near future. Thanks for the help all the guys on here have given in getting this red lived especially Smadger good work guys. I hope that everyone enjoys the Nexii when they arrive with them as much as I know I will.
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Those of you receiving your shipping emails today, did your play store order update to the 19th?.

Mine has been updated to the 19th and money now taken from account but the Google wallet still only says Google received my order 4th december :(.
[Nexus 4 General] AndyBurns:
At a rough guess it's the same as the TNT status "please call" ...

Google tells the courier it was ready to collect, courier turns up and collects everything, your (and my) phone actually were

not

ready for collection, hopefully they'll be in tonight's batch, I received a second shipping email today, did you?
[Nexus 4 General] Carnoustie:
SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPED :laugh:

507 1-2 WEEKS 4th updated to the 19th last night
[Nexus 4 General] anmo:
I received the second one 1:05am today and the first one 10:35pm yesterday. I believe they already collected mine as "Freight Received" appeared in my tracking yesterday night. I just hope they don't loss my phone:(
[Nexus 4 General] cadml:
Yes mine updated to the 19th, google play & wallet status now shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] wooger:
Well, my 1-2 week order, with no update since 4th Dec, changed to 19th last night. And I just got a shipping email!

I'd almost given up hope, quietly confident now that I'll get the phone by the end of the week.

Woot!
[Nexus 4 General] errukine:
Also shipped - updated to 19th last night.

Finally! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] hicks12:
Un flipping believable guys....

Its SHIPPED!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK guys to the ones who havent had their devices shipped yet I will say this now, if your order has either updated to the 15th or the 19th in your play store orders https://play.google.com/store/account (top right there is a cog click there), you will 99% be likely to get your device shipped as I assume we were put into the second batch so today or tomorrow shipment.

edit: Forgot to add I was a 3 - 5 day order in the southwest area, its pretty obvious by now it was just a complete random pile put into these two shipping batches.

If your account hasnt been updated then you are likely to be stuck in Limbo and I feel for you, get onto customer support right now and ask it to be taken higher up as you should be getting it! Especially kick off if you're a 3 - 5 day order because thats bad, 1 - 2 weeks you must kick off but like Dan cobley said its hopefully processed this week but you might not be so lucky :(.

Best of luck guys I will avoid spamming this thread till it Arrives, cheers for the support.

Just got my shipping email (18:02). Now we play Russian roulette, as I'm away Friday and Saturday for a funeral.

Come on TNT! Help me have a happy Xmas!!
[Nexus 4 General] Grizzle34:
I still want my shipping charges refunded though.
[Nexus 4 General] FTMDan:
I came from a Galaxy Nexus and I can for certain say that although the glass may be fragile when dropped, the phone does not feel fragile in the hand at all. Doesn't feel any worse than my brother's iPhone 4S. The glass really helps with the look and feel of the device in my opinion. It's well worth the upgrade from my Galaxy Nexus. Best phone I've used bar none (Including iPhone 4S/5)
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
I'm not getting that. When did you get your shipping email?
[Nexus 4 General] bhoyjd:
Finally got shipment email, this journey is almost over!
[Nexus 4 General] wkd2639:
Feels very solid to me, quite a bit thicker than my HTC One X - which I'm perfectly happy with - I'm happy with a thick phone if I get a decent battery. Skinny phones have crap battery life!
[Nexus 4 General] BadarChaudhry:
its 18:30 and no sign of TNT van, looks like i wont be getting today.
[Nexus 4 General] anmo:
I received the second one 1:05am today and the first one 10:35pm yesterday. So could you tell me your latest tracking info? I think they left my phone in Birmingham or even lost it, damn it.
[Nexus 4 General] Danny Bizzle:
Mine's in Dublin... you are probably on the day after, so you can probably expect it Thurs or Fri.

Today's delivery didn't go to plan due to the M2 blockage.
[Nexus 4 General] smallishnote:
You got an email at 1:05am? I didn't get anymore emails regarding the phone until on from Google at 12:30pm today with the same tracking number saying it's in Dublin.

Try phoning UTI. I hope everything turns out alright for you!
[Nexus 4 General] anmo:
Thanks, I had a conversation with a lady from UTI Dublin and she said short shipped means they didn't receive the shipment. I think it is c2000 who messed it up as they are responsible to send the shipment from Birmingham to Dublin. Hope it will be fine, really want to see my phone tmr, good lick everyone.
[Nexus 4 General] twogun:
Got my shipping email last night at 1.30am this morning. I checked the status when I got up and saw 'Shipping in transit' on TNT's site, All was looking good.

However now it has gone backwards with the dreaded 'please call' status. A couple of emails and calls later, I have Google telling me it is with TNT; and TNT telling me it is with Google, so looks like I could be stuck in limbo with neither that keen on helping.

I'm running out of excuses for them this is just sh*t.

nearest depot to me is 15 miles each way...but i won't be free until 10pm and i think they close at 10pm so will wait tomorrow for them to deliver again, Just spoke to TNT CS and they took my mobile number for updates but promise to me for phone to be deliver by 12pm tomorrow...finger crossed
