Man, this whole process has been a clusterf*ck for me.

Ordered a Nexus 4 12:28pm on the 13/11 obviously within the time window. Also purchased a bumper at 1:57pm and rang up Google Play support asking if I could combine shipping because they weren't available at the time time. The guy (Ricardo) said 'No, sorry he can't do that because it's more then an hour after I had purchased the Nexus 4 device', I said that's fine only $11, not the end of the world.

I did a survey via phone at the end of the call saying it was good support even though the answer wasn't a good one in favor of me which is fine, there's guidelines for certain things. I get a automatically generated Email from Ricardo saying thanks for the survey blabla if you need any more help Email me back.

A day goes by no tracking Email and my account just says "Completed (Info)", so I email Ricardo:

About 5 minutes later I get an Email back saying:

I'm like what the hell, I didn't ask for it to be cancelled, and to further add insult he said he can't talk about my status of MY order.

-----

The next day I haven't heard anything so I Email Google Support (the generic form on their website) asking about my order, no Email back in 24 hours so I ring up, spoke to Victor from Google Support and said my order looks fine, it's just Fedex are having a hard time keeping up with the amount of orders and that if I don't get a tracking Email within 2 days call up again - he said he would create a support ticket so I have it on file. I said thanks for his help and left it at that and waited.

At 4:50pm (16/11) I rang up Google and told them that Victor said to call if I hadn't received tracking information, and this time I spoke to someone named 'Johny', he said my device has been shipped but the Fedex system is just a bit slow, give it another day for it to come through. So I said thank you and waited for the tracking Email.

Today I get a Email saying

So yeah no Nexus for up 4 week :(

[ask] How to order N4 from Google? Using google wallet or credit card or something else?
[Nexus 4 General] deadey3:
its sold out atm and u put ur crdit card details in google wallet for any purchases/
[Nexus 4 General] xfuze:
recieved mine yesterday from fed-ex, room-mate signed for it. sitting at home when i got home from work. Nice phone, speaker and sensitivity problems are annoying. Otherwise loving it so far.
[Nexus 4 General] wisey18:
Status update: Sitting in Alexandria :) Come on Monday!
[Nexus 4 General] RsurNexusS:
What do you guts think Google meant by new stock 'in coming weeks', next week? 2 weeks? Tell me what you think!!:)
[Nexus 4 General] lgftsa:
Mine's been sitting in Alexandria since 11:20am Friday morning, and the delivery date says 22nd.

Seriously, how does it take fedex six days to get a priority package from Sydney to Townsville?

Even road only takes two days by auspost or courier and we had a car engine shipped from Melbourne to Kununurra in four!
[Nexus 4 General] For_itembine:
chrome browser as the stock browser is a joke. you see it already in the reviews

lag city browser, not as smooth as iphone.

wow, atleast they should have kept the original as another option, it was smooth
[Nexus 4 General] TheKaptone:
surely it will be less than that its not like they have to set up the factory or anything they just have to amp up the production. in the factory they must be able to make a few thousand a day (prob more) ,they need to get it underway real quick IMHO before the"next greatest" phone comes out

I will be getting this when it is available no brainer for me but some will walk from this if its not sorted

One question i have is will the NFC chip work here in Aus
[Nexus 4 General] u058515:
Guys

Is the nexus 4 still available in the Australian Google play store or it is sold out???

Sorry for my bad English
[Nexus 4 General] jok4h:
Yes, NFC is on the phone.

Sold out, same applies to the entire world (i think)
[Nexus 4 General] shaymu:
Anyone tried claiming TRS? I am leaving the country on 23rd and dont know whether this ABN missing receipt can grant me 30 bucks
[Nexus 4 General] jok4h:
Err in my situation, I bought this from Google Play Store which went to Google Singapore.

So there was no GST charged. hence no TRS..

Could be wrong here, but I dont think you'll be able too.
[Nexus 4 General] wisey18:
What? That can't be right... Have you tried calling FedEx?
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
My phone reached Alexandria at 5pm.

I wonder what the chances are of it leaving Alexandria in the morning and getting to me in Canberra on Monday... It'd work out great for me since I have Monday off.

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

My receipt email says:

(includes GST of $38.09)

So I reckon you might be able to claim it.
[Nexus 4 General] jok4h:
Your right!

I was looking at the invoice that was provided physically in the box and it didnt have any figures.

Checked the play store and saw the GST

Yeah should be safe mate.
[Nexus 4 General] ngkongArm:
any information when N4 will available to order again?
[Nexus 4 General] Kvoth:
It really depends on whether the customs officer manning the service desk is in a good mood. Technically it's not a valid tax invoice, but if you can somehow show the ABN of Google Asia Pacific by other means, you might be OK. Maybe bring a print-out of the business profile or something.

Let us know how you get on, as I will also be wanting to claim TRS when/if I eventually get mine.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
same question
[Nexus 4 General] RsurNexusS:
Google said in the coming weeks, whether u think that's next week or in 2 weeks is for u to wonder
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
CommBank has Ka-Ching but it's only for the iPhone with a dongle.

Last I read, they said the Android implementation wasn't secure. Not sure on the details but they were trying to get Google to extend the API.
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
Just got an email saying my package had been attempted to be delivered but I provided an incorrect address.

My address information is correct. My package is still in Alexandria and my information clearly states im in Tasmania! And because it's Sunday I can't even call them!

Anybody have an idea of what I can do?
[Nexus 4 General] xdatastic:
Try putting in your tracker ref into the aae site. if fedex have handed it over to them for delivery it might have more detail.

https://trackandtrace.aae.com.au
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
Thankyou, but its unable to find my package on there
[Nexus 4 General] Mischaseb:
.... call them in the morning?
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
Yeah, guess that's it. I wanted to sort it out straight away lol
[Nexus 4 General] :
Anyone see ifixit's teardown of the nexus 4? They found a 7 band (!!) LTE chip! Does anyone think Google has a surprise for us??
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
Don't get your hopes up. There was no amplifier so it will probably not work.
[Nexus 4 General] :
Oh I must have skipped that part lol
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Doubtful. But we can hope I guess. That said, 4G is shocking in my area so even if it did get enabled, I'd be looking for a way to turn it off.
[Nexus 4 General] lgftsa:
Tracking within Australia

FYI, I worked out that StarTrack is the "authorized agent" for delivering FedEx parcels, at least for me.

Go to http://startrack.com.au/ and use your fedex tracking number as the consignment number to track within au.
[Nexus 4 General] deadey3:
i get an error but my n4 is in Alexandria
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
Did anyone else notice that on the packaging of the box it says Expansys.. makes me wonder why
[Nexus 4 General] Kvoth:
I'm guessing Expansys Hong Kong are the distributors? Google doesn't really have the infrastructure to distribute hardware, makes sense that they would contract it out.
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
Mine made the journey from Alexandria to Fyshwick last night. Looks like I'll probably get it today!
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Hoping to get mine today as well. It's got a 1.5 hour journey from Melbourne though and currently still saying At local FedEx facility DERRIMUT AU. If it doesn't change to On FedEx vehicle for delivery before midday I'm going to start to worry. :eek:

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 AM ----------

Just refreshed the and the status has changed to On FedEx vehicle for delivery.

BOOYAH! :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] meno69:
Mine is still stuck in customs. Sigh. I get a different answer from the Play store and fed ex very time!

Original invoice with company logo and/or original signature is required for clearance.

Recommended action:

Shipper must provide.

Reason for delay:

A FedEx Systems Outage has delayed release.

Recommended action:

No action required at this time.
[Nexus 4 General] wisey18:
Hello N4! (Sorry guys who are yet to receive theirs)
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Awesome. :good:
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
My N4 is onboard with the driver for delivery!
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
Mine is still in NSW with attempted delivery, I'm in Tasmania!

Bloody idiots.
[Nexus 4 General] xdatastic:
take the Fedex tracking with a pinch of salt. Mine says it's still in Alexandria, NSW in transit but the AAE\StarTrack tracking says it's on board with the driver in Wollongong (which is most likely correct).
[Nexus 4 General] noobdeagle:
just got mine love it and the sound quality with headphones is actually pretty good even next to my SGS3. overall quite impressed now to just sell my SGS3
[Nexus 4 General] baldric:
received mine in Perth friday afternoon, proceeded to drop it sunday afternoon. luckily only small scratch to one edge, no crack glass. phew. hopefully my case will arrive today. would have liked a bumper, but they had sold out before the phone it seems.
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
That's encouraging :)

but I still haven't been able to track it through any other company I've tried.

Oh well, hopes up for tomorrow
[Nexus 4 General] I Can Be Your Hero:
I think I might give Fedex a call. My phone still stuck at Lantau Island, HK:

Nov 16, 2012 6:13 PM Picked up LANTAU ISLAND HK Package received after FedEx cutoff

Nov 16, 2012 6:13 PM Left Fed Ex origin facility LANTAU ISLAND HK

Nov 15, 2012 6:47 PM At local FedEx facility LANTAU ISLAND HK

Nov 13, 2012 9:00 AM Shipment information sent to FedEx

Hasn't budged from there. Getting really impatient as I have already sold my SGS3, expecting the phone would have been here either today or tomorrow. Doesn't look to be the case!

I'll have to buy some phone in the interim.
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
I really don't understand why people do this - sell their current phone (or anything for that matter that they rely on having) without first waiting for the new one to arrive, or at the very least wait until it is actually in the same country.

Why not wait until the new one has arrived, setup, you're happy with it, and then sell the old one? What if the Nexus arrives and it's damaged or just doesn't work full-stop?

I've lost count how many times I've read this and it's just amazes me.
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
Well, mine is now not coming in until Thursday! I ordered in the first group, but because they got my address wrong it hasn't left Alexandria and apparently it takes 4 days to get from there to Tassie...
[Nexus 4 General] I Can Be Your Hero:
I have a work phone which I use anyway (iPhone 4S). It's not a big deal, but I prefer Android (and interested in WP8 to be honest) so for personal use, I'd rather have an Android.

Why did I sell my S3 before the N4 arrived? Android phones have horrible resale value and the longer you hold off on selling them, the more they deteriorate in value. Also, I assumed a few people would be selling their phones for the Nexus 4 (as I've read in this thread), so I wanted to avoid the extra competition online.

Now there's going to be a bunch of 2nd hand S3's on sale, all competing with one another. And probably even moreso when more N4's are available or new phones are released.
[Nexus 4 General] ngkongArm:
Some review will be good i think. ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Mischaseb:
still got my old desire hd to use after selling my OneX so its not a big deal. It was just a case of advertising the OneX for the price i wanted and waiting a week or two until someone was willing to pay that price. It just so happened that someone bought it before the n4 was released... no biggy
[Nexus 4 General] Dr_Ownage:
Picking mine up from FedEx today! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Draco32:
Got mine on Friday last week, Pretty slick device i like it, needs some sort of case though.
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Yeah, lack of cases at the moment is a bit of a concern. There are few starting to show up on eBay but nothing fantastic yet. Hopefully another couple of weeks and we will start seeing a much larger range.
[Nexus 4 General] noogabooga:
Just got it delivered and loving it so far! Especially the new swipe keyboard
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
You all suck lol
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
Well, you're going to hate this!

:D
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Don't worry, I'm still waiting for mine as well. It's been on board with driver for delivery since 8:53am. I really hope it arrives today. I don't see why it wouldn't though.

---------- Post added at 03:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:12 PM ----------

Delivered!! WOOHOO! :D
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Absolutely loving this phone. 100% worth every cent!
[Nexus 4 General] n7of9:
agreed...try to stay away from any 'problem' threads, some people are going on like it's a piece of crap that is ruining their life
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
And the problems are so stupid! The one about a noise from the speaker when nothing is happening... Every active speaker does this! But the N4 is doing it, so it must be a major fault
[Nexus 4 General] funkyblue04:
Anyone been able to test the speed on Vodafone in a 3G+ zone?

If so what speeds did you get?
[Nexus 4 General] nandihno:
I got it today and tested th speeds don't know why but I got around 6mbits very fast

This was at Carindale shopping centre Brisbane

It's an awesome device just that it gets too hot maybe because of the setting up

Will see how I go tomorrow

I sold my galaxy note and on the note battery would last me a full day under heavy usage
[Nexus 4 General] :
HD voice is excellent, was testing it today with a mate who also has the N4. Only problem with it is that both people need to be on Telstra and have a compatible phone. Hopefully some other networks will bring it out soon!
[Nexus 4 General] Nark.GA60:
My speed test.
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Is there anything specific you need to do in order to use it or does it just work?
[Nexus 4 General] :
Nope, nothing specific, just works when the conditions are right. You'll be able to tell straight away, the quality is wayyyyy higher than a normal phone call - to the point where it sometimes doesn't even sound like the person you know on the phone. Kinda creepy, but in a good way! haha

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, but Telstra are still the only AU network with HD Voice enabled? So the call has to be from Telstra to Telstra, both using HD Voice handsets (ie. N4, iPhone 5)
[Nexus 4 General] samthe2can:
Woohoo, onboard with driver for delivery at 8:20 this morning, I guess they told me delivery on Thursday to stop me from calling again if it didn't arrive earlier
[Nexus 4 General] Nucleotide:
Quick question – I've got two work email accounts (Exchange) setup on my N4. Vibrate is turned off on both accounts. I've even turned it on and back off again just to make sure however, whenever a new email arrives, the phone still vibrates. Can anyone else test this for me? If you turn vibrate off does it still vibrate?

Thanks :)

Anyone's bumper shipped yet?

I'm about to ring Google and query it, as my order hasn't budged since Tuesday last week.

Man people over at this forum are getting between 15mbit and 21mbit on T-Mobile DC-HSDPA in the US??

I'm only pushing 6mbit max on (what should be) AU's fastest network. Even our best is still crap compared to the US..... ridiculous.
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
I'm getting about 8.. On Telstra in Melbourne CBD
[Nexus 4 General] :
Just re-tested right now at work (Parramatta NSW), I got 11mbit which is better than my last result. On Telstra too.

You think I need to call Telstra and "activate" DC-HSDPA 42mbit?? Coz I'm not hitting anywhere near the speeds that the Americans are getting on the same type of network....
[Nexus 4 General] psy:
Maybe. I have a new sim, so wonder if I needed to request something different?
[Nexus 4 General] :
Yeh I got a new SIM too... but I'm thinking *maybe* its something that they have to activate on their end? Probably wishful thinking.. 11mbit is prob the best it gets.

I'm getting between 4 and 8 Mbps on Optus. About double what I was getting with my One X.
[Nexus 4 General] sub69:
Yep, I get between 6 and 12mbps on Optus - also around double what I was seeing on my One X.
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
my best so far is 4 - 5.4Mbps on Optus in Eastern suburbs melbourne.. will check it on H+ in the city when I'm next there.. I think Optus's speedtest results are a bit weird because they fluctuate from 400kbps and then up to 5Mbps in the last second or so of the test.
[Nexus 4 General] wisey18:
Just did a speed test on my N4. This was done in Martin Place, Sydney.

Almost bought a bumper but, $19:90 seems really high to me

One question I have is ,how his is the ring volume when in your pocket I work in a loud environment ABC's am going it is loud enough to hear

And not have to have old phone as my ringtone
[Nexus 4 General] nullb:
I missed out on the first batch but I'm waiting on the second now, anybody here gone from an S2 to the N4?

Was the speed difference dramatic? (Both net speed and general use speed)
[Nexus 4 General] wisey18:
Telstra. I know. I was really surprised!

I hit 9.8mbit down, 1mbit up on Telstra in Brisbane. Very impressed for my area!

I still can't comprehend that we can't place an order for delivery whenever stock is available. In today's day and age?

No, we have to check a website everyday in the interim oh, or rely on an email from Google which I never got the first one so why would I get the next?

I just good I can get one before Christmas because i want to take it away with me, so I can have a fave of with his bloody iPhone5

Just did another test using my PC (wireless connection) and here are the results. I'm on a 50mbps/20mbps connection so it's pretty effing good if you ask me. I live in a new estate near Camden. Exetel is my isp. Could go up to a 100mbps/40mbps connection but everything already loads instantly if streaming. Downloads are really quick too. Don't get charged for uploads and it's on a $60 plan. Also using voip for home phone so really cheap.
[Nexus 4 General] funkyblue04:
Exetel is also one of the crapper ISP's. Wait till many more start getting the NBN. YUou will start seeing speed issues, Lack of backhaul. Internode all the way!
[Nexus 4 General] wisey18:
My first choice was internode but I found Exetel was the only isp that didn't charge for uploads. Also we're restricted to who we can go with because we're actually run by Opticom not the actual NBN. From memory there were only 6 isp's to choose from.

Anyone found a solution to be able to change the region to Australia? I want the $ as my default currency symbol (rather than pounds). I also would like the phone numbers formatted XX-XXXX-XXXX. It seems strange that there is no Australian option, given this one is officially sold here
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
"More Locale 2" from the market will fix you right up..

OMG THE BACK SCRATCHES LIKE NOTHING ELSE. I took the plastic off today after having it since Saturday, I was worried the dust trapped under the plastic cover would scratch it and so I thought I'd take my chances without it until my Best skins ever body skin came. I was wrong. The screen was fine but after about 30 minutes off no cover I have two fairly big scratches on the back in the center. I didn't touch the device in the time and it basically sat on my wooden desk the whole time. VERY DISAPPOINTING.
[Nexus 4 General] armthehomeless:
No it isn't available on the Play Store for the device. Also, the listing now says:

credit card fee rip off

Anyone else get slugged with a "OVERSEAS TXN FEE" when they paid for their Nexus 4 ?

My credit card has $12.57 extra charged on the transaction (ANZ Visa Card)

ANZ say it is 100% charges from Google and not any charge or fee they have added.

Our phones we sold from the Australian Store in an A$ transaction, how is there a charge involved ?

Google say it is my bank charging the fee, but I can see that it isn't. Its the the fee charged by Google's bank to convert my A$ into whatever currency they are using.

I have placed the transaction into the ANZ dispute process. I'm not optimistic of a positive outcome :(
[Nexus 4 General] olivierlee:
It's most probably ANZ. Westpac did not charge my MasterCard anything extra. I was only charged the $418.99 for my 16 GB.
[Nexus 4 General] .martin.:
I don't have said fee either (Commonwealth Bank).
[Nexus 4 General] DarkRyoushii:
I noticed it in the light when I picked it up off my desk, definitely disappointed since I usually manage to keep my devices completely unscathed until I sell them. :\
