It seems that the SIM card is Ok. Try placing it properly in the tray. Or you can even try a mobile phone reset.
[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:
For those of you who are yet to order, here's the quote from iShop for 8GB Nexus 4:

Rs. 21800/- (with slight variation due to exchange rates). This is with increased customs rates.

Nothing else to pay. No customs, nothing to courier.

You can pay them in cash deposit in any Canera bank branch or by card / netbanking, etc. No hassles of Google play hold, etc.

The price is all inclusive.

Box isn't opened.

They purchase from their own Google Play account and provide their invoice.

Customer care is a bit poor but service is really good and quick.

Phone reaches your doorstep within 6 to 12 days flat!

[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
Did you pay Octroi?
[Nexus 4 General] dipeshpp:
There's only one way of placing it in the tray and I tried doing the same multiple times. Anyway I'll try with a proper microsim from my operator.

---------- Post added at 12:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 PM ----------

No, that was the whole point of collecting it from their office.. to avoid risking octroi..
[Nexus 4 General] Fractalnoize:
true story :D
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, I know there is only one way :) What I meant was: press and fit it properly in the tray from all the 4 sides. Yes you can try with a proper microsim (and not the cut one). BTW I got my Airtel SIM cut as microsim and there isn't any issue. It started working in the first attempt itself :D

I did not know that if we collect from their office, we do not have to pay the octroi. I thought they pay it when the mobile comes through Jakat Naka while entering the border of the city :(
[Nexus 4 General] Jundstars:
OH CRAP! I ordered a nexus on March 8th and was charged instantly from my credit card.

But my google wallet status still shows only:

"Mar 8 : You placed an order with Google Inc. on Mar 8. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to jundstars@gmail.com"

Why havent i got the "Google Inc. has received your order" status???

Am i pressing the panic button too early?

PS: am using PPOBOX NY address.
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
Would you please share their office address in Pune?
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
No need to worry. Sometimes it takes time for second bullet. I guess it will take 1 day.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Many guys on this forum have waited long to get the second bullet. So don't worry...
[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:
The price would be

21,463/- for 8GB

All inclusive of taxes, shipping, customs, etc. as per latest quote.

You may PM me for details. [ or thank me for the info! ;) ]

I meant the Mumbai office.. And just in case you're wondering, I didn't come down to Mumbai just for the phone :p I am from Mumbai, but work in Pune...
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
I am going to write the same thing... I too toke Di@blo's post as reference and comparing when ever i had a doubt.. Btw i think our phones will clear at the same time... mine was in HEATHROW and will reach india tonight or tommo early morning and then customs. Since they dont work on sundays u and i will probably get our phones by tue...Hopefully:D

[Nexus 4 General] UtkarshB:
Help/suggesion please

My relatives live in canada. So they'll buy the nexus there with their account.

Now how much would it cost to ship it from there (city-Toronto) to here(Pune)??

What is the cheapest and safest way for shipping??

any hassles?

Will I still have to pay octroi and other charges apart from shipping charges?

I'm a huge fan of Farmville and Criminal case and I cant play these games on Nexus 4 (at least till now).

I tried them on Opera, Chrome, UC and Firefox to no avail...

Is anyone able to play facebook games on this phone?

Mail them

I opened Google Play with VPN (tunnelbear) and then clicked on "My Orders & Settings" at the bottom. Then clicked on "info" where it showed Pre-order. It took me to Google Wallet... where it showed "You placed an order with Google Inc.". Just above that I clicked on "Contact Google Inc." There you can send them an e-mail. Immediately after that I got an e-mail from Google Play team telling me that it will be shipped by the evening of March 17. And now, the status is showing as "Shipping estimate: March 17, 2013".

I have read somewhere that it's better to contact them... it makes everything fast.
[Nexus 4 General] Sun90:
do check ur PM ma8:)
[Nexus 4 General] sunnysomyani:
all are in foreign

all casses shown are not from ebay they are all from foreign countrys so scared of shipping charges and customs;(
[Nexus 4 General] Jundstars:
Thanks a lot man. this is what google replied when i mailed them :

"Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email with your tracking number. It may take 24 hours for the package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.

If you have not received a package tracking number after the time quoted in your order confirmation email, please let us know.

According to our records, your order should ship by the evening of March 24."

MARCH 24th! i hope thats the worst case scenario they are talking about. also my wallet status hasn't changed yet.
[Nexus 4 General] Sun90:
Lol, i pre-ordered on ebay.in in the month of November 2012 and recived the phone on January 2013.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
Dude,

you need to chill out. They will ship your order on Monday or Tuesday US time. Mine was supposed to ship on 17th, but they shipped on 5th.

Phone Replacement

So it seems i have a bit of bad luck. My uncle bought a nexus 4 for me and gave it to me when he came to India.

Now it seems that i have the Random Reboot problem ( phone reboots 10-15 times perday) . I met him on the last day so couldn't give him the phone back as i found out 2 days later. :(

Now i need to send the phone back to my uncle who lives in Indiana so he can get an RMA on the phone. I'm planning to ship it to US and back using PPObox.com. According to their calculator :

Shipping to USA from India costs: Rs 2193

Shipping to India from USA costs: Rs 1460

I'm worried about a few things:

1) whether the package will be safe.

2) Is insurance included ? (since i'm lucky enough to have got a defected piece i just want to be careful in case i'm too lucky)

3) since my uncle will be doing most of the replacement stuff i need to send the package from his home to PPObox is this allowed?

4)Is this the most cost effective solution?

5) If any of u did an RMA how much time did it take for the phone to come and will they send only after receiving the old one?
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
anyone???
[Nexus 4 General] zubin111:
Have you tried rooting first and install after a full wipe a clean rom? If you haven't done so, i would suggest you spend some time on xda, and learn that, if its a software problem it should definitely be bugged out through this community, still if it does not solve the problem, try to search on net if the problem actually is for some hardware reasons before taking all these pains to send back and again...
[Nexus 4 General] vidhatreg:
In my long search to fix this problem i have

1 - updated the phone from 4.2 to 4.2.2 - didn't fix the problem

2 - Rooted the phone - didn't fix the problem

3 - Clean flash of 4.2.2 stock rom - didn't fix the problem

4 - flashed paranoid Android 3+ - made the thing even worse

5 - flashed back to stock 4.2.2 with root - problem still exists

during these steps i was with stock apps no extra apps downloaded

i was following this thread where the user said that during servicing they decided it was a hardware problem and replace the motherboard. -- https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=50366

shipping time

Your will receive a mail from Google on Tuesday....around 2-3 pm IST.....it will say that "Your Order has been Shipped" :good:
[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
If you are able to find a screen shattered N4, you can use it to replace the motherboard...
[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:
Yea, but for sure it would be a costlier affair than actually sending it to the US and back. Plus you don't know the result...
[Nexus 4 General] obeliex:
Yeah many USA brand cases are expensive because of air freight.But there are a few sellers who import & sell .....http://goo.gl/7GRk0

Nexus 4 Users,

Has anybody used gadgetshieldz full body cover along with the bumper(poetic/official)? Does it fit properly or the screenprotector peeled off?

[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
Review - OEM Bumper

What do you mean by issues? Plz explain more and I'll be happy to give you my feedback abt the OEM bumper.

From my usage so far,

1. It fits perfectly (of course, it should :p)

2. Has access to all ports and has buttons. The button clicks are simply superb and soft which few other cases lack.

3. My friend's Sennheiser headphone's 3.5mm pin's outer wrapping did not go inside the cutout, however my Sennheiser (different model) fits in fine. So I'm assuming most of the headphones will.

4. Does not increase the size of the phone and brings a IPhone feel to your Nexus. It looks as if Nexus has a neat body armor around it. :D

5. The TPU like material on the bumper provides additional grip when holding and it is an important aspect. (atleast for me)

6. I cannot comment about the drop test with the bumper (God no! :)) but you can check youtube videos for that.

7. I am able to casually keep the phone on any flat surface without worrying about being scratched as the bumper gives a minor elevation on both sides.

8. Price wise, IMO, $20 is a bit costly for any bumper. But being a original accessory I was able to convince myself. Personally, I wouldn't spend 1.4k on the genx bumper, I would get the original bumper instead.

9. With screenguard - I am yet to try as my XtremeGuard is still in transit. From what I have read so far, you should allow the wet application protector to fully settle down (24hours or so) and dry hard before trying out bumpers or even certain cases. If done this way, I hope it will not peel off the edges.

10. Based on other reviews and user experiences, I see that it is able to protect corner-drops from decent heights. The back is however still exposed, so the phone has to be handled with care and precaution even WITH the original bumper. That's what I feel.

Overall - I am very much satisfied with this purchase though it has limitations in its protection.

Nexus 4 for sale

I have ordered a nexus 4 16 Gb which is currently awaiting custom clearance. I had ordered this phone in feb but for some reason it took long so I purchased the phone off my friend, If anyone from Mumbai interested in buying it. Please PM me.

P.S- I have shipped it using ComGateway
[Nexus 4 General] rbrblitz:
Selling not allowed here.
[Nexus 4 General] anmolsharma:
Didn't know that. Just wanted to help people who are looking forward to place an order and save at-least one soul of sleepless nights :). I know how agonising the wait is. Mine took a whole month for Google to ship. I couldn't wait any longer so bought a phone off my friend and since now I'm finally receiving my phone I couldn't think of a better place to sell it.

What does UPS two-day shipping means? I mean the order should reach the destination within the 2 day time frame? If not can a customer ask for refund of shipping charges against not fulfilling the promise??
[Nexus 4 General] akhz99:
I have the GenX bumper.. its amazing.. definitely worth 1400.. its matte finish not glossy.. adds quite a bit to the grip and works well with screenguard, charger and headphones.. i would recommend this.

[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
So when it reaches customs, in case there is only one phone instead of two, will they hold off the shipment and ask FedEx to get the other part as the Google invoice says two phones with two distinct serial numbers? Or they will let it pass with only one phone in it?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
UPS 2-day Air shipping means the phone should reach you within 2 business days from the day your phone is shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
HSG is a good option. Only the package will be opened at customs. I would advise you not to club phone with accessories. It will risk your package to attract 16% of customs. So better to avoid it.

I have not ordered mine..waiting for frnds sister to confirm whether to ship or not to her address.
[Nexus 4 General] CrazySpartan:
I have also ordered using ppobox address but not yet received any cancellation notice (4-5 weeks shipping), did google refund the exact amount you paid or they deducted shipping charges? I contacted CSR and told them UPS is misinterpreting PPO # as PO Box #, he said he will contact higher authorities in this regard and let me know what happens but he did say that they can inform UPS while shipping that it is not a PO Box #..... I hope everything goes right :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
They won't deduct any charges, it'll be a full refund. Besides, they hadn't even sent it out for shipping yet, so there's no question of shipping charges being deducted.

Hope you guys figure out this issue soon. It'd suck to get on the waiting list all over again.

[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
See other nexus 4 threads. ..

many people have cancelled. Some people are saying UPS doesnt need a signature at delivery. So if u are not present at home they may place it there...outside

See the Google support page for cancellations. It clearly states that if your product is already ship then simply refuse to accept the phone when it arrives. Or if u are not present at home paste a large note on the door stating your order and shipping details and write that you are choosing to refuse delivery..

Google will refund in 3 weeks.

I called ppobox (mumbai) and asked them if i could remove the words"PPO" from the address since UPS is not delivering because of it, the CSR guy said it is fine if i remove it, they don't have any problems till i mention the # and update the tracking ID once i get it.

Next week i will contact google CSR again and tell him to either remove "PPO" from my address or specifically inform UPS while shipping that it is not a PO Box #, i will add in that you ship to that address and if it is returned then i will pay the shipping charges :p
