Exactly, so there you go - nothing against you (and again happy to hear you've gotten good news) but IMO I don't think we need more posts or info about people who received shipping confirmations after the backorder email UNLESS you happened to have ordered your phone later in the afternoon, well outside of the first 30 min (the former is now becoming at least somewhat common, so don't be shocked if it happens to you).
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I ordered at 8:35 am pacific and also have received no emails from google... Hopefully this means I will also be getting mine tomorrow, I'm in WA though, so it might take the extra business day to get here. I signed up for myups like an hour ago in hopes of being notified by UPS before google, but it doesn't show any deliveries scheduled yet :(
[Nexus 4 General] 918273645ams:
We're in the same boat. Only time will tell. If i don't recieve an email tomorrow morning/later tonight I'm going to call google tomorrow.
[Nexus 4 General] astromanic:
i'm in the same positions as you exactly, ordered at 835 pst, in WA. does your order status say ship estimate or completed?
[Nexus 4 General] ErikWithNoC:
I ordered mine at 8:50am pacific and have yet to hear anything from Google besides the ETA of the 15th still. Hopefully it will show up tomorrow or I get an email later tonight :/
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:
I ordered from Michigan at 11:34AM EST. I have not received one email from Google about my order. It just says Pending and estimated shipping November 15th. Also, I just signed up for UPS MyChoice and haven't received any shipping notification yet.
[Nexus 4 General] cavallino33:
Does everyone with a back-order email still show Shipping estimate Nov 15 in the play store?
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I think so. Mine still does anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] irishrally:
Just landed in Mater, CA. I think it's a Sacramento airport. I still can't change my delivery option to will call.
[Nexus 4 General] Uh60m Pilot:
I just got off the phone with Google. It was a present experience. He was an Army vet (noticed by his phonetic spelling) and we got side tracked. :highfive: I asked if he could look into my order status because I too received the email of death, but still show shipping on the 15th in Google play. He said that their are 3 phases processing before the credit card is charged. Mine was in phase 2. He told me to check my status in the morning because it appeared that mine was still on track to ship on time. I would like to add that I ordered at 1730 EST (very late!) after realizing the F5 process worked. I tried to get one at launch but the web site crashed. Anyways....He explained that the email does not mean that the device will be delayed by 3 weeks, but it might not ship today. He said that Google sent a blanket statement to everyone concerning the 3 weeks. He said most people will have their item shipped in a few days.

One thing I found interesting was that he said it was fairly obvious for the reps to identify those who are going to have a long delay. He said that many received the email because the processing was taking longer for Google based on the unexpected demand, and not because of a lack of devices. He said those who are actually delayed because of device availability can be identified by the reps (if they know what they doing). I know this stinks for many people but it was nice to talk to someone who was so straightforward. I was part of the nexus 7 launch and I think this time Google went for the most conservative approach. They are still trying to figure out how to do this properly. I think it is a great thing for android even though it sucks for me.

My recommendation is to just call Google about your status and be respectful. It is not the reps fault and they are more than willing to help people who show them a little respect. If you have a complaint to Google about the process ask them to send you the survey to your email account. Then you can tell the Google managers who scrub that information how you feel about the order process. It is like any military After Action Review (AAR), I can guarantee that someone important actually reads the reviews.

Hope this helps more than the complaining.

It says ship estimate 11/15, pending in google wallet, with the authorization hold on my debit card, it has not posted yet though. I'm crossing my fingers that it's coming tomorrow or saturday.
[Nexus 4 General] Shadowguy:
So, basically instead of sending us an email stating there are shipping delays. They just decide to tell everyone we are on backorder? Makes sense I shall remember this when building my own business model. White Lies protect everyone right! No Expectations = Happy Early/Late Delivery. Instead of me being pissed about not getting it Monday I assume 3 weeks then BAM I get it on next wednesday and I praise Google for getting it to me in less than three weeks!

I LOVE IT :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Nexus 4 General] Atrix27:
That is so bizarre to me, Google being on the cutting edge of tech, how in the h*ll do they not have real time data on these orders??? They must however, why do they run 2 systems - 1 for the consumer to see which is keeping us in the dark and the other so they can manipulate orders the way they see fit...
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
It is bizarre, but with all the server crashes they had during ordering I wouldn't be surprised if they are still recovering from the glitches. There are probably lots of orders that have unknown statuses and they're having to sort through them, it's probably also why they oversold, not because of programming glitches, but because their servers crashed and lost count of orders, so it didn't stop when it should have. When servers are hit with that many requests per second, they screw up lots of things. It's like a DDOS attack except legitimate requests.

[Nexus 4 General] kayateia:
Limbo for me too!

8:44am PT - order was placed, slow but not much fanfare

9:15am PT - confirmation email received

now - no further email, credit card still pre-authed, Play store still says shipping on the 15th, Wallet still shows pending.

Crossing my fingers due to that credit card status though :)

I think this is a more honest rendition of what it looks like at Google right now :D

[Nexus 4 General] jjsoviet:
Looks like my Nexus 4 is still on backorder. Asked Google support about this earlier. :(

However, he did say that the order will ship within three weeks, as opposed to sometime after three weeks as I have feared. Looks like within this month I'll be constantly checking my email for developments.

[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah I didn't get a guy as knowledgeable as you did, he basically just told me once devices come in stock they will ship them, I was extremely respectful, he was a nice guy. But he said it probably wont be 3 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Well obv, because they didn't distribute the BO email yesterday. They did today.
[Nexus 4 General] dudinatrix:
I got my tracking from UPS MyChoice about an hour ago with my tracking number. Nothing from Google yet. Status still says pending in wallet and ship date of November 15th in Google Play. At last I know I'm pretty much in the clear now. Only nitpick is that the ups email said delivery by tomorrow but when I clicked through to the actual tracking page it says scheduled delivery of Monday the 19th. No actual movement yet. I'll take it!

I ordered at about 10:36am CST on Tuesday. 16gb near Chicago.

[Nexus 4 General] t-mizzle:
If you ordered the 16GB version, did you get it all at once or did 8GB arrive a day later?

Seriously now, I ordered the phone and tablet in one order at 8:52am pacific time, I'm starting to think I should have ordered separately to at least get one of them by Friday. 4 hours left in the day, still showing as shipping estimate for the 15th.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Good point, didn't connect the two haha

Did you get an email from google or did it show up in MyUPS or something like that? Or does it say shipped in the play store?

Order Status After Contacting Customer Service

I managed to order both a 16GB Nexus 4 and a bumper case but I had to purchase the items in separate orders. I received the backorder notification for the phone this morning however, Google Play was still showing an expected ship date of today while Google Wallet showed both orders as pending. I called Play Customer Support (855-836-3987) and spoke to rep who said that since I have received the backorder email my order is definitely shipping later than originally expected. I questioned whether they were refunding shipping just for the phones or if the bumper shipping would be refunded as well and he said that it looked to him like they were holding on to the bumper to ship it with the phone and if that is indeed what is happening that I would be refunded shipping for both orders. (As a bonus he also told me that Google is considering additional compensation for those affected by the backorder mess.) He was extremely helpful and I honestly don't mind the extra wait. I would highly suggest anyone wondering about their order call Customer Support.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
To add to the comical aspect of this whole situation email I received an hr ago:

Thank you for contacting us.

After reviewing your account, I can confirm that your order has processed, for only 1- Nexus 4 16gb. You can check the status of your order any time at link redacted.

Due to high the volume of orders we are working to ship all items in your order as quickly as possible within a 3 week timeframe. You will receive an email confirmation as soon as your order is shipped and on it's way.

If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.

Thanks,

Ray

Funny thing I never spoke to a Ray today lol, and how is it my order processed but I still have to wait within the 3 week timeframe, and still no movement on play store or wallet in regards to my order....
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Good to know, I wonder what this additional compensation would be.
[Nexus 4 General] 918273645ams:
Just called google for like the 12th time haha. This time he told me that *from what he's heard/knows* if you haven't recieved the backorder email you're in the clear. He also said my phone was in the processing stage.. And I should recieve tracking info soon because he said it was still supposed to be in the 3-5 day range. So we'll see...
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I just called, got a very (understandably) tired CSR but all she told me was that they didn't have any more information than I did, so if I never received a tracking number, they don't have one for me either, but that if I didn't get a backorder email I'm good.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Here's a question does the email I received from Ray count as a backorder email....I'm so unsure about the whole situation now =/

[Nexus 4 General] joeski27:
"Additional compensation"??? LOL, if they do anything extra, it would probably something dumb like $25 credit to the Play Store, which is a huge slap in the face as all they are doing is giving you credit to more of their products, as opposed to doing something more appropriate, like taking $25 off the price and putting the cash back into your pocket.

Play Store credit would enrage everyone even more. I mean there is nothing more insulting when you go to a restaurant or other business establishment and have a bad time or negative experience, and as "compensation" they offer you credit or vouchers or a gift card for the same place, as opposed to the more appropriate thing which would be cash or a dramatic reduction in the price you paid for the item or service. By giving the store credit, they basically say "well, we're sorry, but as compensation for your horrendous Play Store experience, we're giving you credit to the Play Store, the very retailer that pissed you off in the first place", which means you're STILL stuck giving them business, and they really lose no money in the deal when all is said and done. Nice.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] angel.grin:
Look what i found guys, i think this would be a nice addition into Galaxy Y because we have a very limited internal storage capacity.

its called ExtSd2InternalSd, from the name itself it makes your sd card the internal memory and the internal memory the sd card. no need to use app2sd or link2sd if it would work on galaxy y.

I don't know if it would work on the Galaxy Y, but upon reading it worked on the Samsung Note, BTW this mod was made for the GS3.

Gonna test it this coming weekend. hope it works this is gonna be nice. hehe

You need a good scripter for this to be able to use it on SGY. I think there some similarities with amarulls and dual boot scripts.. idk but if it worked on SGY then its a good thing. And you need a good quality sdcard though the OP from original thread said a class 4 sdcard is fine.

Currently the Google Play Store is listing the Nexus 7 3G with a AT&T Logo...

Does this mean the N7 w/ 3G will be locked to AT&T, and not available as an Unlocked Device? I certainly hope not!
[Nexus 7 General] UberSlackr:
Okay, Scratched that... Contacted Google Device Support (Actually Got an Intelligent Person this time) and they informed that it will be unlocked, and AT&T is only listed to let buyers know AT&T Service can be used on the Device. (and he hinted at a possible AT&T Data Only plan for the N7)

They haven't started selling yet, so it's not really OOS. Also, I've seen them change the links twice now. It's still slightly broken (ie: if you click on AT&T then 3G again, it gives you an error message about not available in your country).

The strange thing is, if you're on the page where it gives the description of the Nexus 7 3G + ATT Sim Page, if you scroll down, you'll see a 3rd Card that lists "Nexus 7 + WIFI + HSPA" w/o the ATT Logo and if you click that one I see that it's "Not available in your country"...
