They want a German adress .. can i put a random german adress ? i mean it won't change anything and they will accept my pre-order anyway, once in front of them they won't tell me that i can't have the phone because of the fake adress ?
[Nexus 4 General] baza14:
You should send e-mail to that concrete store how I did. I got a very kind answer.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
good point! I haven't pre ordered anything so far from them, therefore I don't know if they wan't to see an id or something :(

Do you know soeone in Germany, since you life close to the boarder?
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
I don't think so, what a difference does it make? A sold phone is a sold phone, it does not matter who buys it. Main point is they have the cash :)

I think it is more a psychological trick to limit fake reservations. I would just simply put some valid/plausible address in Aachen and that's it.

And it is not so easy to verify your home address even if they wanted. Just suppose for a moment you are a belgian who happens to live in Aachen. You still have your belgian passport and you don't have any german id card with address on it.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
A German passport contains your home address. It may be that they want to see your passport to verify you are the one who made the pre order.
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
I have a doubt, i want to be totally ready the next time they start selling the phones :silly: , i live here in Germany and i don't have a credit card and ny friend does , so he will buy the phone for me with his card but on the shipping address i will use my address, so in short words i will buy the phone with his billing address and my address (which naturallly are different) do you think i may get my order cancelled because of this? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] deoneR:
why would they? it's actually totally normal that people tend to use their working address for shipping + home for billing
[Nexus 4 General] hsrn:
i preordered at mediamarkt 2 days ago and called the local store today if they can satisfy the demand.

i gave my preorder number and she checked the waitlist.

the expected stock will have more devices than the amount of preorders up to now.

i don't know how trustful this statement can be but i have given up waiting for the play store stock.

i'm fine with the extra 35€ i have to pay but in return i get a better service in case i have to return the device.
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
You don't need to possess a german passport to live in germany :) And mediamarkt never stated, that they sell to german citizens only :)

So if someone comes in and shows his/her belgian passport, id card or drivers licence, nobody would even raise a brow. Certainly not in Aachen.
[Nexus 4 General] Walhalla:
They don't want to see your passport when you come to pick up your order. You just have to take a print of the pick up notice mail with you. Thats enough.
[Nexus 4 General] ptr_hamilton:
Okay I received a answer from my local media market store

vielen Dank für Ihr Mail.

*

Bezüglich der Liefermenge des LG Nexus 4 haben wir leider noch keine genauen Informationen vorliegen. Durch Ihre Vorbestellung wird Ihnen auf jeden Fall bei der ersten Lieferung ein Gerät reserviert. Sobald wir den Wareneingang des Smartphones verzeichnen konnten, werden wir Sie unverzüglich darüber informieren.

*

It says something like they don't exactly know how many devices they'll receive but because of my preorder they keep one reserved for me within the first batch :D

I hope that's gonna be the truth, I don't wanna wait for playstore any more! This is a real farce how they treat us :mad:

icecream-sandwich-android.blogspot.com.es/2012/12/Nexus-4-in-Deutschland-ab-6.-Dezember-wieder-erhaeltlich.html

It´s true?
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
I wouldn't say this, I contacted the english support (I found the german contact form after already submitting) when I couldn't place my order the day the Nexus 4 was released and thats what I got:

They didn't even fill out the template :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] t0n:
seriously?
[Nexus 4 General] ntc3freak:
Successfully ordered one today n received confirmation email. Didn't even realize today is the 13th! Lucky me, I guess lol

Mine is coming from Dublin, Ireland. Can't wait! :D
[Nexus 4 General] mrmad23:
Are we sure the device is sold out? I don't see any out of stock messages...
[Nexus 4 General] kwerdenker:
Google Deutschland confirmed it on their google+ page: https://plus.google.com/u/0/117570067846637741468/posts/AEMkAyVDsA5
[Nexus 4 General] mikaole:
that was the worst case for Google. Got the Email 20 minutes after sold out.

Think they maybe had 100 for sale :):)

Hope they make a preorder now and let the people know when it will come.
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
Interesting. A friend of mine thought that he placed a order. But when he looks at the status it says "Vorbestellt".
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
now what

anyone knows when it will be in stock again in Germany? and it is so annoying that they do not take EC card...a clearly safer option for google because i actually need to have money in there :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] jetcz:
question for those who managed to get 16gb version, whats the total price including postage and everything?
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
I got the 8GB but for the 16GB the total price is 360€.
[Nexus 4 General] kwerdenker:
If i remember this correctly from my Nexus 7, postage from play store is 9,90€
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
Buy a prepaid credit card at the gas station. That's what others do.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
good question

I would like to ask how fast you can get it? Thx!

---------- Post added at 02:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ----------

any gas station? does Esso have it? the closest one is Esso. thanks again!
[Nexus 4 General] thenext1:
And with these preorders, Google successfully depleted the pre- production, faulty, overheating nexus 4.
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
I don't know. You should ask there what they have. Personally I prefer the Neteller Card (transfered overall ~1300€ with my Neteller card without any problems)
[Nexus 4 General] t0n:
I wish, that would at least be a okay news for me. (not so much for the lucky ones I guess ^^ )
[Nexus 4 General] Harsh:
Google would not repeat Apple's iphone5 mistake. So first batch would be best quality I think. (I got one)
[Nexus 4 General] cikomiko:
Newer hardware revisions are most likely better, so best quality is kinda exaggerated.
[Nexus 4 General] hippieschuh:
Est. Delievery is 15.11

one guy allready got a delivery message from a nex 10 though
[Nexus 4 General] xLychee:
I still dont geht why they didnt took preorders that way they could have known how big the interest would have bin.

Goddamn im so pissed i couldnt order the 16Gb Version.

-xLychee
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
Hi Guys,

I have also encountered many problems ordering the 16GB version this mornin. I was checking the availability on my current phone, when I saw the Add To Basket, I started running from bus to work like hell.

Then of course a problem with item missing from the cart and after few tries I managed to put the credit card details and go to check out, when suddenly the circle stopped loading and it was like that for another 10 minutes.

I was very dissapointed when I saw there's nothing in my cart and no confirmation...nothing.

Of course it wasn't available anymore when I tried to order once again, which got me really pissed off...but then suddenly after 30-40 minutes, the confirmation mail came, so it seems that it went through anyway :)

@Harsh: good to see you here mate. I've been a user of your kernels for Optimus 2x, which I sold today btw and someone is picking it up tomorrow :)

Good luick to all of you, who haven't managed to place an order.
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
I've tried to order one this morning aswell, as soon as I got the E-Mail that its available on my phone. I managed to get my credit Card info in but then it failed somehow with an error. No confirmation, nothing, not any other Chance.
[Nexus 4 General] le_bron:
How much is the shipping cost on germany??
[Nexus 4 General] ingbrzy:
9.99 EUR
[Nexus 4 General] le_bron:
Thanks. And another question. I have sent 330 euros to my friend in germany and I want to buy the 8gb version. But if this version have a lot of waiting time I will go for the 16gb. Is it possible to order this version or my friend must have 359.99 in his visa card? I am thinking to see first what version I will buy and if I go for the 16gb one, I will send the extra money after the order. Is that possible?
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Depends on his card type. If it's a prepaid credit card he must have 359,98€ on his card when ordering, if it's a normal card he normally can order anyways and will have a negative account balance (This will result in a few cents of interest paid on overdraft)

But are you sure the 8GB version will be enough? There will be about 5GB free, thats not much ;)
[Nexus 4 General] le_bron:
I have no problem with the storage. I dont listen music only fm radio plus I have 25gb in dropbox from my old one S that I sold. I want the 8gb version and with the extra 50 euros I will pay the postage to Greece and a Sony Ericsson mw600 which has fm radio and headphones that both are missing in nexus 4. My friend has debit card not credit card so I can't order the 16gb if there aren't all the money in the card right??
[Nexus 4 General] Qbsti:
You are aware, that this phone does not have a radio chip? So it don't support fm.

EDIT

Nvm :p
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
I'm not sure but I think a Visa debit card is the prepaid credit card I mentioned, then he needs to put the money on this card before ordering.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
got the reply from my nearest Media Markt store where I've pre ordered to:

translation:
[Nexus 4 General] Orphelia:
Yeah,totally BS wright?!

http://www.chip.de/news/Google-Nexus-4-Erst-2013-in-Fachmaerkten_58375634.html

Have a nice day and be carefull with your words...

sent by Xperia Neo powered by tapatalk
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
it may very well be that they don't get enough devices for all pre orders. But 2 or 3 devices is just ridicules! Even if it would be true chip would have written something like "...einzelne Geräte..."

I stick to it, an estimation of 2 or 3 is too low.

Also:

this post is one page back from the 30th. November so he wasn't one of the first to pre order.

And by the way, I have offended / insulted no one personally. This is my opinion and therefore I don't need to be careful with my words.

But have a nice Sunday too.
[Nexus 4 General] Orphelia:
At the end of the day i hope youre wright :beer:,the guy at Media Markt was just not informed well and we all getting our nexus on 15th or at least just before christmas :)

So wish ya all a great Sunday

Best regards

[Nexus 4 General] shyd:
That's great news! I preordered on November 22nd with the option to get it free of charge due to every 33rd online order 4free :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] Luk_Sch:
I think I'll try to get one from the Play Store on the 6.12. and if that doesn't work out I hope that Media Markt has enough devices for me getting one on the 15.
[Nexus 4 General] fobsent:
I'll try going the exact same route - I sincerely hope that the retail stores like Saturn and Mediamarkt have guaranteed supplies for the dates they both have listed - deciding to switch and preorder at the retailer just to find out that they too have delays would be too much to take ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Testraindrop:
Is anyone still waiting for his device who ordered on the 13th? Just to estimate if they have to ship devices to those people first before they start selling it again on Google Play...
[Nexus 4 General] Ibsonic:
If someone has a second N4, i am willing to buy it.. Will come and get it myself. :)

PM me please.
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
I would also think so. For 2-3 devices (500-700 in total) Mediamarkt probably would not even bother to do the paperwork.
[Nexus 4 General] Luk_Sch:
Last year the Saturn in Freiburg had around 20 if I remember correctly.
[Nexus 4 General] le_bron:
Is it standart that it will be available on play store at 6th dec?? Where did you listen that?
[Nexus 4 General] mazurson:
Nothing but speculations so far. No credible source
[Nexus 4 General] t0n:
so the Germans have given up hope as I see no discussion at all. I guess buying the N4 off MediaMartk will be a safe bet rather then waiting for google.
[Nexus 4 General] Intruder7s:
Rumors say that there will be stock availiable in 5 days in Europe.

We are waiting for that....not much else to discuss that hasn't already been discussed :/
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
I doubt that MediaMarkt will have enough devices for all preorders. (Getting a Nexus 4 is really a pain in the ass)

Glad I managed to order one after raping my F5 key for about 3 hours the day it got released :D
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Having no discussion does not have mean giving up the N4; at best it suggests that many of us give up speculating :victory:
[Nexus 4 General] spidr:
havent seen any worse customer service around. We are completely in the dark, no information no updates not anything. Even in small e-shops you can find information of product rivals. Also the black market is making profit every day and Google is responsible for this as well.

I guess the ordering system will go online this week cause the US market opened previous week, but we have to wait and see...
[Nexus 4 General] realfelix:
Ordered mine from mediamarkt aswell..the demand here in Trier is not that big. They all bein iSheeps.
[Nexus 4 General] Mahnn:
We've got an update, sort of: some random guy is claiming to have confirmation for the dec. 6 date:

It's on appdated dot de, I can't post the actual link because I just registered, but it's easy enough to find. I'm at work and I can't call Kundendienst myself right now, but it sounds like it may be worthwhile to do so to confirm this? At least to get an additional source, anyone willing to give it a try?
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
Exactly my point, we're giving up on speculating although deep inside I want this December 6 date to become true :')

I already ordered two skinomi full body cases, it takes 10-20 working days to arrive here in Berlin from the USA, Amazon.de is disappointing they don't sell good protectors or cases, just some unknown rubbish :/
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Link please! :):thumbup:
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Since we are on it, is this case not good?

http://www.amazon.de/mumbi-Google-Nexus-Silikon-Tasche/dp/B00A2POS6U/ref=pd_bxgy_ce_text_y

From what I understand, bodyskin only protects the phone from scratches, right? Having a case is still a good option, right?

Many people, from other threads, want to have the Best Skin Ever: http://www.bestskinsever.com/google-nexus-4-skin

The protection is very minimum...from i can tell.
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
I've used the first one on the gn + on the atrix (I think), nothing wrong with them.
[Nexus 4 General] DanVanDamn:

Breaking News:

N4 is back in stock in Canada ONLY...finally the N4 is available outside the States!
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-hope-it-goes-smoother-than-the-us-re-launch/

Yep, comforting news!! :)
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Cant wait for December 6th

Aaaaahhhh ! :):):):):)
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
The crazy thing is this: both the US and Canada received the notification on the day the N4 is available...as for the Canada's case, they were told this a little bit more than an hour before the sale kicks off. And the play store opens at the middle of business day. What if we happen to be in the meeting or something? Google, way to prepare us to get ready...I guess it takes luck and determination to get this phone :p
[Nexus 4 General] spidr:
at least there is some news, better from no news :rolleyes: probably this will be our week as well...
[Nexus 4 General] Mahnn:
It was the same for the second batch in the US, after they understood the actual demand, so it's pretty safe to assume they are going with this modus operandi for the rest of the countries now, that is, with notifications sent on the same day, if any, and with barely a few hours of time ahead of the sale.

Possibly Google figured this way the servers may get a chance to survive, as opposed to giving time for a bigger mob to form :p Or, you know, they don't want to risk cannibalizing Nexus 7 sales in the meantime.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
The US received their availability information 5 1/2 hours ahead. Plenty of time I would say
[Nexus 4 General] aMpeX:
the N4 checker reports 7-8 Weeks shipping time so I wouldn't exactly call it "available" ^^
[Nexus 4 General] indoh:
i think some of u know this link to check availability of nexus 4 :

http://whohas.it/g/247

now my question is, does someone know a link like this that is usefull for german playstore?

which notifier u use?

i only know the n4checker.com side + app
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
it started with 1-2 weeks shipping time. It went up after 5 minutes or so. Some of the Canadian guys in "their" thread report that the shipping time in their order confirmation mail even says 3-5 days.
[Nexus 4 General] fobsent:
*cough*

I have to admit I went a little over the line on this one. I programmed a little Java-Program that runs on my server and checks the german Nexus 4 16GB site every minute to see if its available. If it is, it'll send out an email and use some tricky mechanics to send a SMS to my phone :D
[Nexus 4 General] quew:
*facepalm*
[Nexus 4 General] fobsent:
The things you do when you're a programmer with too much free time ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
http://ifttt.com/

You made it sound so dramatic.. :p
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
would it be possible for your server to send a mail to more then one address? ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
I've ordered from Mediamarkt. If it's available in the play store earlier, fair enough (I'll check when I wake up). If not, screw them. If Mediamarkt doesn't have enough, screw them too.

I refuse to become a sheep on Google's commands. It's a phone, bitte..
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Just catching up with what went on on the Canadian side. It seems that if the order is placed in the first 7 mins, the shipment is 1-2 weeks...most, if not all, after that mark will not see their phones until next year.

That said, keep close attention to any hint is NECESSARY!

I also follow Stefan Keuchel on google+. I have a feeling this week is our lucky week :)
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Haha. Stefan Keuchel? Srsly. This douche. OMG. Call him Stefan Heuchel. Fits better.

I do not Trust him anymore Even though i think Thursday will be our Day.

Start your Engines. Sorry, prepare them. :D
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Hahaha funny!

Just wondering if anyone who ordered on 13th back in last century :) is still waiting for the phone to arrive

Does German market have those Limbo people?
[Nexus 4 General] sidamos77:
How do you send the SMS?
[Nexus 4 General] derPianist:
Yes. Today also few devices got shipped.

I think nearly ~98% got their Nexus already. Confirmed Information.

So, Google. It is Time for us. 2nd Batch People - Here We Are. :)

Troll lololo.

Don Trust him.
[Nexus 4 General] fobsent:
Very similar to the technique explained here:

http://waheediqbal.wordpress.com/au...e-calendar-from-cloud-monitoring-application/

But I didn't intend to hijack this topic, so I wont talk about all this stuff to prevent spamming this thread with unnecessary information not related to Nexus 4 availability.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Question now is: Will the whole EU play stores go live again at once or country by country?

If the Canadian got around 7 minutes for the 1-2 week wave, I would guess we would have maybe a minute before it climes to 2-3 weeks and higher if the whole EU starts again at the same day/time.
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
yeah I fear if they open all EU play stores at the same time it will be disaster again (website and stock wise)... Or they got a really big batch which I kinda doubt...
[Nexus 4 General] Qbsti:
Guys. I wonder if there is a guide on how to purchase the N4?

I live in poland, and i cannot reach google play, so my friend was supposed to buy it and send it to me, but the problem is i don't think he can manage to buy this without my help :p Do you know like a step by step instructions or something like that?

or is the purchase realy simple?

thanks in advance! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
Looks like the phone will be available here again this week :) fingers crossed
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Says...
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
Mindless speculation purely based on the fact the phone is available on Canada :(
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Ow, I see. :p
[Nexus 4 General] kerosin:
non-German credit card

Hi,

do you think it will be possible to use out-of-Germany credit card? I'm residing in Germany right now but don't have a card issued by German bank.

Anybody has an experience from the "first wave"?

Thanks :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Most probably not. This has already been discussed around page 49+

I would suggest to get a pre paid credit card which are available often in gas stations or a virtual credit card: http://www.mywirecard.com/mastercard.html or Kalixa
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
On google website, it says VCC is not the way to go either: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411788&topic=2451685&ctx=topic

Yeah, prepaid credit card or borrow from your neighbor or someone.

A quiet morning...unusual for google typical Tuesday :) hopefully Canada Sale is not the only thing that Google does this week.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:

32G Nexus 4??? A big fat lie!

I wonder when the rumors about the N4 will stop...this is one of the most desired lies: http://t3n.de/news/nexus-4-32gb-lte-zeigt-kurzzeitig-430134/

I have to say, with the screen shot and everything I almost jumped...
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
I've seen it a few days ago on the giga page and couldn't stop laughing since I had seen the original post of the fake screen shot in the official play store order and shipping thread. I really wonder how easy it is to create such a hoax.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
YEEESSS

[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:

[Nexus 4 General] Mahnn:
Yup, looks like this is the real deal. Best of luck guys! Canada batch yesterday seemed to run relatively smooth compared to nov 13 on US, so hopefully we'll have the same experience today.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Hidden92 is right ;) I should say 5:00 pm CET or 17:00 Uhr CET.
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Yeah, but it's a mail in german and so it uses 24 hour system (at least it should). And Germany is central europe, GMT+1 is identical to CET. Therefore right now it's about "15:00 Uhr CET"
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Since we receive 2:30 hrs notice and I am very grateful, let me say this to one of those who want to have the N4 without German card:

I do not really have a german CC either. But if my card goes through, I will come back to offer a chance to buy it for someone who wants. you just need to transfer the money and shipping to me, the exact same amount i would pay in two hours.

cannot believe it is happening!!!
