Sorry for the last post.

are vpns safe for buying? we do input our credit card nos.
[Nexus 4 General] mb_3000:
can anybody please share what VPN have you used? I've tried both freeVPN and tunnelBear and both are being blocked by google. thanks
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
You input the credit card nos in your Google wallet using normal connection. Google stores them securely. You don't need to input them again using vpn connection.
[Nexus 4 General] TheQuarterMile:
Pending. Why?
[Nexus 4 General] Rekursion:
Google "getusvpn" and see if that works for you.
[Nexus 4 General] mb_3000:
thanks a lot for your reply. and no, that VPN is blocked too

all VPNs are failing with this error

Error 130 (net::ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED): Proxy server connection failed.

it seems google is blocking them all, unfortunately
[Nexus 4 General] TheQuarterMile:
I just used "usvpn.newfreevpn.com"

Nexus 4 Ordered

I ordered yesterday payment got declined now updated the payment info...first status was pre-ordered then updated to Shipping Estimate Feb 13th 2013...Credit Card got charged by 19,615 immediately... what does this mean?

Where to check the shipping/order status?
[Nexus 4 General] TheQuarterMile:
Google Wallet.. The link is also there in the conformation mail you got from Google
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Mine says like this only.

Your order has been sent to Google Inc..

---------- Post added at 11:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 PM ----------

Ok i have checked under orders and settings in playstore. It shows Pre-Ordered. If we login into our wallet normally (without vpn) does our order gets cancelled? I mean they can know that we are logging in India etc .. Please clarify on this one.
[Nexus 4 General] lionrock7:
Same thing with my order. I placed my order around 9:50 AM PST, yet there are people who placed their order around 10:30 AM and got shipping confirmation while I haven't.

By the way, I have a doubt. How important is the NAME of the billing and shipping address? Does it have to be the same as the one on the credit card?

COMPANY SALES MANAGER "

they claim to be a UK based company and are ready to ship a 16 gb nexus to my doorstep for 21000 INR as they have some "representatives" in New Delhi as well

i am not sure whether this is fake or true

plz help

if this is true, then i would jump at the chance to get a 16gb Nexus 4 for 21k

plz help and sorry for making this very long :)
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Its good to have both the addresses same. Also our forwarding sites does not care for the name. You can give the name exactly as the name in credit card.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:44 PM ----------

Trust me those are fake. In UK it costs 299 pounds. So they were cheating. Ask them if they can deliver cash on delivery. Also never trust quickr adds. For example search in google for laptop cheating in quikr etc. You will come to know easily.

thanx for the quick reply mate

i also thought the same thing

i had a long conversation and finally asked them if i can pay COD or transfer the money after i receive my product

no reply to this from their side yet
[Nexus 4 General] depletion:
I agree with you bro coz quickr is a place any tom **** and harry can post anything ,Yes as a smart move u can check for cash on delievry but why take risk unecesary .Now google has N$ go and grab it.

yeah i will be ordering it from google play store very soon and then get it shipped by hopshopgo :)
[Nexus 4 General] TheQuarterMile:
Ok this is confusing... What status is better pending or pre-ordered? Hope there is no limbo :(
[Nexus 4 General] lionrock7:
But I don't think I can change Credit Card details in Google Wallet now, can I? Since I've placed the order already. I added the name in Google wallet the same as the one I registered on comGateway, but this name is slightly different from the credit card name.

I hope Google doens't do some kind of name verification, since I've read someplace else that Google will not verify the credit card address. Otherwise I'll have to change the details in Google Wallet and re-order again...

Did you guys have any side plastic on your device when you received your Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] TheQuarterMile:
Don't worry.. Not that they are gona engrave the name on your device that they need to verify.

But you can edit the address as far as I know..
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Yes Google checks whether they can charge the amount or not. They don't check the address because that would take a lot of time to get the same from our banks. I guess there will be no problem and may get our orders ship soon.

[Nexus 4 General] DeathMetal-XXVII:
Hi,

I am new here and this is my first post here on XDA developers.

I am sincerely interested in buying a Nexus 4 and I have registered on PPObox for this purpose. I have not placed an order yet because I have been having a couple of doubts :

- Do I get after sales support in India after I buy the Nexus 4 from Google Play if it ever comes to India or otherwise)?

- How long does it take to ship?

- Does the charger work with an adapter or do I need to get a whole new one?

Also, what is Google's stand on rooting this one?

PS: Actually, I am attempting to purchase something from abroad for the first time.
[Nexus 4 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Can anyone tell me what are octroi charges for nexus 4 in Maharashtra. I paid heavy octroi for my nexus 7 So wanaa know before placing.
[Nexus 4 General] Prady777:
Guys need help. I successfully ordered 2 nexus 4 16gb and sending it to PPO. I have an issue here, I used a ICICI debit card for all the transactions. It was 775.18 USD in total but I was charged 43,585 INR right after the order confirmation. It was supposed to be around 42000 INR. The dollar price was 53.60 at that time. Is it common or I have been charged extra? And the main concern is, the e-mail that I got from Google Inc about the confirmation of the order states that "I will be charged only at the time of shipping" but why am I charged now? :confused: Do I need to contact google support on the same or just let it go? :confused: and by looking at the previous posts it seems like they will charge twice. What if my card doesnt have sufficient balance when they try to charge me for the second time for the same transaction? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
Yes it's normal, same happened to my order as well, but it's not charged, just authorization.

okay, my UPS tracking id is activated now, it says "In Transit and On time," Schedule delivery by 31st.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
- If it releases in India you might be able to get it repaired by paying if something goes wrong. Else not sure. No one has tried yet.

- After Google delivers it takes about a week for it to come to India.

- It's US style adapter with flat pins but rated at 110 to 220 so it will work with simple pin convertor.

Nexus devices are easiest to root. Google has never stopped anyone from rooting. Just unlock bootloader and flash super su.

[Nexus 4 General] aditya.bgs:
My answers in b/w

- Do I get after sales support in India after I buy the Nexus 4 from Google Play if it ever comes to India or otherwise)?

(NO, They do not provide international support, so u dont have warranty in india, but if u send back your phn to US then they will cover warranty over there, till the time its not launched in india, if it launches then u can expect that. )

- How long does it take to ship?

(Depends on the google, if they ship it early , then forwarding company qill take a take a make of 5-6 business day, from the day it reaches to them)

- Does the charger work with an adapter or do I need to get a whole new one?

(charger will work but you will need a simple converter in which u can plug it before inserting into the socket, b'coz the pins are diff. )

Order Status

Guys please help with my order status. They receive my payment. i got a message from bank saying i used my CC for 19615 from google. Play Store displays 13th Feb 2013 estimate.so my order is proper and active right?

Check the image.

thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Yes it's active, as long it says Google Inc received your order it's fine. However they have just put a hold on that amount and haven't charged.

They will actually convert the hold into charge when shipping the device.

Shipping Issue

Your order has been sent to Google Inc , Yet it showing pending in Google wallet & Google play store its showing Preordered ? What that means .
[Nexus 4 General] funzuloo:
Where does it show Preordered in google play?
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
I think it means, "when google gets a device for you they will process your order", in other words you still dont have a device from google.

Looks like many people with same status, including me..:crying:

PPO Address

Hi folks,

I need some input from the guys out here who have used PPO. I ordered the N4 via google play store & provided my address sans the Mail box number & Unique Id. My shipping & billing address during the order was basically as -

John Doe

<Address by PPO without Mail Box no. & Unique ID>

PPO mentions that I need to include my Mail box number & Unique ID created in PPO to the shipping address. I did however update the Mail Box & Unique ID (after creating it in PPO) in Google wallet after the order. Questions :

1. Will google update my updated address from my wallet as my shipping address ?

2. If no, should I cancel and re-order ?

I have mailed PPO CC but haven't received any response from them yet. If any one of you guys made the same mistake, please share on what needs to be done to rectify this. I kinda feel bummed that I saw the fine print in PPO AFTER I made the order. Such a rookie!!

Appreciate the help.
[Nexus 4 General] navino87:
Options icon -> My orders & settings
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
No use calling PPO CC, and without your unique id your package is effectively lost among the thousands they receive everyday. Recovery would be extremely hard. Checkout your google wallet entry to see if your shipping address update is taken effect - it mostly shouldnt. Call google cc to update the shipping address for the purchase, if not possible cancel and rebook. do it ASAP.
[Nexus 4 General] sb9772:
1: No Google cant change your shipping address once the order have placed .

2: You should cancel your order right away & reorder .

3: I've placed my order without create a package id but i mentioned my mailbox no there & after made the purchase i've created a unique package id . Without your mailbox no they cant trace your package .

Sailing in the same boat and from same place ..I ordered 2 n4 16gb and showing preordered in orders section and pending in transaction page .
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Earlier Google used to show only pending, however recently they have introduced this new pre-order status.

Your status will go for pre-order to shipped when the device ships.
[Nexus 4 General] younussm:
The only frustrating thing to me is those who ordered hours after me has got their devices shipped and not mine .y u mo work properly google :(
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Mine also showing pre ordered. I have one question.

If we access the wallet to check the status without using vpn whether Google will know that we are from India by our ip address? Will they cancel our orders? This is getting me worried. Hope someone can clarify this?
[Nexus 4 General] navino87:
Hello friends.. Just one thing that is bothering me.. The name that is mentioned in my billing address is Navin Vijayakumar. But the name in my CC is V NAVIN. Will there be any problem in my payment getting processed??. BTW, I earlier have purchased few music tracks from play store with same name using same CC..

TY
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Google doesn't check your name. Not a problem.
[Nexus 4 General] funzuloo:
Does anyone here got a technical error report at the end of buying process, i got one saying some technical problem please try again later, but when i checked my google wallet purchase was done and its under pending section. The technical error report might be a problem? Are there chances my order will get cancelled thats showing in wallet under pending?
[Nexus 4 General] mammenj:
Why should they cancel; since you are shipping to US, its a valid address, therefore valid order.

Only possibility is: if your cc declines because your address does not match with US address, then they could cancel......this is my opinion....not googles, so I could be wrong.:fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Ok I got it. But the address match won't be a problem I guess because so many here have ordered using Indian cards and they keep the addresses (both) same according to the forwarding services.
[Nexus 4 General] younussm:
Nothing to worry abut that bro , many Indians ordered using VPN and later they send them .its nothing to do with ur IP address when once u have paid it
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Since we bought the phone on Tuesday, what is the deadline for Google to provide us either shipping details or your device is cancelled like that.
[Nexus 4 General] younussm:
From what I have heard and seen , google wont cancel ur order unless u request it .if they are out stock den we will get a mail stating back ordered and wil provide a new restock and shipping date.most ppl got a 1-2week shipping date , so they wil anyhow ship d device becox they already took the order from us .
[Nexus 4 General] cordlessbrain:
Requesting everyone who has ordered their device in this batch (starting 29th Jan) to update this form (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dDR2aVBhUEFMSUd2clBXenBVMi1YWkE6MQ&ifq), so that the shipment can be tracked.
[Nexus 4 General] Earayil:
I got a mail saying "Thank you. Your order has been placed, and you will receive an email shortly with the details of your purchase."

It means my order got through and not pre-order right?
[Nexus 4 General] cordlessbrain:
Right. You can check the status of your order in your google wallet account as well as in your 'order and settings' in google play store.

[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
What's there to be frustrated about? Have some patience, Google told you they'd ship your order in 1-2 weeks when you placed the order, so wait for 1-2 weeks before getting frustrated.

What matters is the estimated shipping time Google provided to You and whether they're going to deliver within the time specified. Why do you look at other people's orders? :)

Thats absolutely true . But if u have mentioned any forward shipping co. address in your Google Play order then you cant register in 'My Ups' because they are not allowing any commercial address . Atleast you cant register there with 'PPOBOX' shipping address .
