I ordered Nov 13th 08:33 PST

Confirmation Email came in Nov 13th 08:34 PST

Charge showed up on my Bank Account as pending

No communication from El Goog until last night when I got a shipping email

Checked my Bank account after shipping email came in and I had pending charge for the full amount of phone plus tax and shipping

Overnighted from Kentucky to Ontario Airport @ 0'dark30, and went on a truck for delivery at 08:00 this morning (Nov 20th)

My wife just called me at work to say my phone got delivered! 09:20

I checked my bank account and the pending charge from Google has been removed and the payment isn't processed

(Free phone for now?) :good:

I think I'll be heading home for lunch today, and working from there for the rest of the day!

:D

Good luck to the rest of you! I hope you all get good news soon! Looks like once you get that shipping email from Google things start to happen very quickly! :good:
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah still not sure if I believe them though. I was always told if it seems too good to be true it probably is.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
Yeah but getting that email is the hard part lol
[Nexus 4 General] expertzero1:
You will be charged
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
Now that my phone is finally fully running, im gonna leave this thread :)

I didn't have a micro sim card before so I had to go the at&t store.

my older phone(inspire4g) used a bigger sim card.

good luck to people who still didnt receive anything yet.

Got my 2 8GB about 15 minutes ago! Finally!
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
BO order time around 1400 EST, 3 dates in play store 13, 17, and 19. 1 16gb no other devices or bumper.
[Nexus 4 General] crr127:
Got my tracking info last night at 8:30PM EST. By this morning it has left kentucky and is already our for delivery in South Florida. SAME DAY SHIPPING BABY!
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Hmm I ordered 1 16gb @ 1:13 EST, BO email on the 15th, no date changes in the play store still 13th. I also ordered the 8gb @ 11:50 EST which was shipped to me Friday. I'm assuming since they already shipped me one that's why they are taking their sweet time shipping the second.

Backordered.. The land of the screwed.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
My phone got delivered this morning :D But I'm at school right now, and then I have to work a 7 hour shift... Won't be able to unbox it until 11 hours from now :(

All you have to do in the app is tap on anyone's reply, on the pop up instead of hitting quote, just hit reply and you create a blank reply.

That's almost exactly the same email as the guy that got the free phone, except for the sentence about getting it for free.

[Nexus 4 General] Red Wolf:
Our for delivery today, I was limbo level 2. Ordered at 8:35PST, No NO email or anything :)
[Nexus 4 General] hbkmog:
The whole launch ordeal is a mess. I just canceled my order. I would have gotten the phone and give them the money if not for the whole debacle. But now I decide that I might as well just keep my current phone(Gnex) and use the money to buy some clothes that I can actually wear for years to come.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I thought that when apps didn't have a menu button, android automatically put in one of those ugly full width menu buttons in to compensate as it does on the HTC One series phones.
[Nexus 4 General] Strelok1987i:
It's been delivered, now just waiting for my university mail service to get their ass in gear and put it in my mailbox...ugh
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
Got a reply to my email I sent on the 16th....
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Can I just put that part in and send it back lol
[Nexus 4 General] kayateia:
Woke up this morning, still in this state. :( I've seen a few people with the "package missed connection" status, but I've not seen anyone's that stays in Exception and is orange. From what I can gather, it just went AWOL between the first KY depot scan and its scheduled flight.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
The funny thing is that my phone has yet to be charged to my card, the pre auth fell off but the final charge is no where to be found.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Free phone! .... not!
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I really don't understand. I start a thread just for back orders and a big baby has to come in and cry because we created another thread. This thread is full of everything and it is hard to get any ideas of who is back ordered.

Now the thread has been closed. Of you don't like a thread than don't post. Why ruin it for others? There's are some really babies here complaining about things that is none of their business.

There is not one thread dedicated to those that are back ordered. I would like top have an idea as to how many there are still seeing as most in this thread already have their phones. There are some that do not...

[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah a lot of that I wonder if the Google wallet is over loaded.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
I wish lol...but I'm expecting it gets charged sometime today, what I want to know is how that guy managed to get a rep to send that email lol.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I agree. There should be a place for us limbo level 3 folks to go and cry..

Backordered.. The land of the screwed.
[Nexus 4 General] diablonyc2:
I think that is the one process Google will MAKE SURE they have right....taking the money!
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I would think so, but it seems like they can't do that right either.
[Nexus 4 General] toocomplex:
It made sense to me. Guess I'll just have to post the same thing again in this thread...
[Nexus 4 General] grayson73:
I too would like to see a thread solely for those backordered so that we don't have to ask everyone on this thread whether they received the backordered e-mail or not.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
The limbo 3 thread is all BO's.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
This thread has died down so much now that a majority of the people either have their phone or tracking # :(
[Nexus 4 General] Simer03:
Don't get your hopes up! That happened to me with the gnex but was charged a week later lol

[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
I'm seeing 8 gigs on craigslist for 400... It's real tempting but 8 gb just doesn't seem like enough space. I'm afraid if I cancel my order, ill check on here an hour later and BO people will be getting tracking numbers:banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Wait it out with me please :angel: I don't want to be the last one on this thread without a N4 in my hands.
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
Don't worry. The last will be me. I think I am the only person in North Dakota who ordered one, so Google will just get to me when they have time.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Man... UPS suck. My phone was supposed to be delivered today but it's changed to tomorrow instead because it missed the flight or something. * shrug *
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Lol are you limbo level 3 (backordered)?
[Nexus 4 General] evohog:
Same here.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Yea I'm gonna have to, I gotta have my 16 gb:o there's a few on there but people want $550-600 for them...that's just wrong. Plus I'm kinda starting to get cozy with this HTC amaze I picked up cheap the other day.;)
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
I will still be here since I'm part of the back order club.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
That sucks pretty bad, although I wish I were in that situation. When you get it tomorrow you have to let us know how it is!
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Don't worry I am sure I'll be here until the bitter end.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Jeezz. You in limbo 3?
[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
This.

It's unfortunate, but at least yours is already shipped. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I really do hope that it get delivered tomorrow w/o any further problem.

And will do.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Alright good. You, lowrider, and I need to stick together haha
[Nexus 4 General] Spartoi:
Hmm, I just checked my bank account and the charge has been removed, funds restored, and the phone was delivered today. I wonder if

http://phandroid.com/2012/11/19/google-offers-free-nexus-4-to-one-lucky-customer-stuck-in-limbo/

is being extended to all previous limbo customers or if the charge hasn't been made yet (though Wallet says the charge was made yesterday on the 19th).
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Pretty much, good to know people are in my same situation hah
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Yessir. Back order email, play store still says shipping the 15th. Order date moved up to the 19th. Money put back on credit card.
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
This....... Yes...... This
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I'm in the same boat except mine is sinking a little worse. Order date is STILL the 13th.. I'm assuming that means they haven't even started looking at my order yet.
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Man if I get this email I'm gonna sh!t my pants.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Exact same situation.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I want that!
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
I wonder though if that's even real, I mean its pretty easy to Photoshop an email. And there's a lot of douchey people that would post something like that just to screw with people
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I got one that was similar but without the free part.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I don't care if I get a free phone. I just want to get a phone at some point here.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Update:

Hopefully it'll make it to california safely. T_T
[Nexus 4 General] kayateia:
It seems a lot of west coast people have had this sort of issue. I'm really worried about mine though.. all it says was that it missed its connection, and there's been no further update.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
There you go! Just curious, did they send it 2nd day air or next day like some people have been saying?
[Nexus 4 General] fullmetal2k:
Nothing has change on my order besides now my cc charge has disappear but the funds haven't come back to my card yet, still BO and still says shipping on the Nov 15, wallet still says pending
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Next day air. :)

Wait... missed it's connection? what does that supposed to mean. o_o
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Come on Google. I've been a good boy this year. Don't make me wait til Christmas though.
[Nexus 4 General] kayateia:
Yeah, exactly. :( That's all it says though. "The scheduled connection was missed." That was about 10 hours ago now. Near as I can tell, it means they lost it.

I guess limbo doesn't end when the shipping notice comes. :( It ends when it's in your hands and functional.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Did you tried calling UPS and ask them to explain what it means? D:
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
No, that means that it was supposed to get on a plane or truck but didn't get there in time so the truck left without it.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Nice, hopefully us in limbo land 3 get next day air :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
It should. ^^;

I hope you'll get yours soon! =O
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Within three weeks! Lol...
[Nexus 4 General] kayateia:
I haven't. I figure I'll wait until tomorrow, since if it got delayed a day and this is just tracking shenanigans, there's not much point in checking on it. I think it's like the Google order stuff, calling them isn't going to much good when they don't know where it is either. :silly: But later tomorrow, there's clearly a problem.

I've got my fingers crossed that you're right. ^^ I've seen other people who have different statuses for that, like "Left at facility / Delivery next business day", or whatever the wording is.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I'd pull my hair out if I had to wait that long. :<
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Good thing I have a shaved head.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Well I've got a lovely samsung flip phone to tie me over so it's all good :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
Ewww flip phone... Good thing I didn't sell my gnex beforehand. I would be stuck with a flip phone too.
[Nexus 4 General] Nimche:
Not sure what level I am at but still waiting for 16Gb and bumber. Dates are all at 13th and estimate delivery of 15. No response to emails. Limbo Level X
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I'm kind of glad I did before it lost too much resale value. Flip phones are fun too! You can flip them open and whatnot haha.
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
How much did you sell your GNEX for? I think I could sell mine for $250 since it has 0 flaw.
[Nexus 4 General] nibrwr:
Only 2 weeks left, hopefully...
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I'm not sure I could hardly get through the day without a smart phone anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] Nimche:
Did they still charge you for Shipping on the invoice in Google Wallet? I think it become more clear once they charge your card?
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
Yeah. Got my BO email right away. Sucks, but what can I do? Limbo 3 all the way.
[Nexus 4 General] makimbo:
Light at the end of the tunnel

I was a complete limbo until moments ago. Never received the official backorder email from Google - even though the CS "supervisor" told me on the phone that I was backordered when I called for status.

Location: Vancouver Canada

Order Date: November 13, 2012 8:34:09 AM UTC-8

I just received the "Your order on Google Play has shipped." at 12:45 PST November 20th. The tracking number included. Coincidentally 30 min after I sent another email to google customer service asking for status.

It's been a privilege participating in this thread. Don't loose hope! Don't take the info from customer service as accurate - they seem to be as much in the dark as anyone else. Keep complaining - call, email and add comments in the survey that they send you after the call. Knowing a thing or two about how customer service centers operate - it's always the squeaky wheel that gets greased.

See you all on the other side.
[Nexus 4 General] x3phyr:
My phone is precariously perched in my lap as I type this message. Thanks for helping with the wait guys! You all rock! Good luck to all of you!
[Nexus 4 General] vinay427:
I'm in Limbo 3 (11:57 EST order, 2 16GB devices) and just called Play Store support. The first representative I spoke to didn't know much and basically told me it's a waiting game, while the second was more knowledgeable and mentioned the slew of devices getting shipped last night or this morning. He also said that some of those orders didn't have tracking numbers or a subsequent shipping e-mail, but that if I don't receive it today I'll just have to keep waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] Acuity:
Next day air is actually quite impressive. It only took about 7 hours from the time UPS got the package until the time it was on my doorstep.

Good luck my brothers and sisters I will be with you until the end.
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
I have never owned a flip phone. My first dumbphone was the original Kyocera Slider, followed by the Motorola ROKR (another slider, based on the original RAZR design), and then the Samsung Delve (a crappy resistive touchscreen feature phone, I went through three through warranty because the left side of the touchscreen would always die). Then Alltel in Fargo was bought out by AT&T and everybody had to get a new phone at a discounted price, because Alltel was CDMA, so I jumped on the Motorola Atrix 4G, which is what I am using until Google finally decides I am worthy of sending a Nexus 4.

Sliders are much more fun than flip phones, because you can keep them in your pocket and slide them open and closed repeatedly when bored. I used my Kyocera for almost 4 years before replacing it. The battery was held on with Duck tape, but other than that, it was solid as can be.
[Nexus 4 General] JNewms:
I agree. Got my shipping email after midnight and had phone in hand by 9 this morning. I hope everyone else gets theirs with the quickness.

[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
What exactly is limbo level 3? When did the levels get defined :S
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I didn't sell it directly. Traded ,i added 40 cash, for a mint galaxy note that I sold for 380 on eBay. After eBay fees it came out to be 360. So basically I got 320 for it. Kind of confusing. I've been flipping phones for a couple months now. Seeing as I'm a college student with no job it helps pay some bills.
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Nice. Do you use Craigslist to flip?:good:
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Limbo 3 = BO right?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Yep! Combination of Craigslist and eBay
[Nexus 4 General] x3phyr:
Limbo 3 = Order, Conf Email, Date change, but no shipping.

Limbo 1 = No order conf or anything

Limbo 2 = Order Conf, and no date change.

Limbo 4+= Back ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Limbo 3 is backorder
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Makes sense because I don't think there's anyone left that had a date change and didn't get a shipping email. The only people left are those that are backordered (level 3) I'm pretty sure. I guess previously I wasn't in a level as I had not gotten a confirmation email, nor a shipping email, nor a backorder email, but my dates were changing. Infinite limbo? Now my phone is at my house though. But I'm not :(
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Ok guys, this limbo thing is stupid. Anyone new coming here is not going to know what any of this means.

[Nexus 4 General] Exel:
It's not stupid.

Limbo Level 1: Made purchase and it shows up in your Play account and Wallet (status irrelevant) but no confirmation, back order, or shipping emails from Google. These people are known as the Untouchables.

Limbo Level 2: Made purchase and it shows up in your Play account and Wallet (status irrelevant) and received a confirmation email, but no back order, or shipping emails from Google. These people are known as the Forgotten.

Limbo Level 3: Made purchase and it shows up in your Play account and Wallet (status irrelevant) and received a confirmation and back order email, but no shipping emails from Google. These people are known as the Betrayed.

Limbo Level 4: Made purchase and it shows up in your Play account and Wallet (status irrelevant) and received a confirmation email and shipping emails from Google. These people are known as the Impatient.

Those who have their phones in-hand today are simply the Hated.

Level 1 and 2 have mostly gotten their tracking numbers at least.

Level 4 is irreverent, Level 1 and 2 have moved to Level 4.

We're the only big group left..
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Good explanation. I was an untouchable and now I'm very very very impatient. At around 10 PM PST I will be hated. :angel:
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
I got two date changes, from 13th to 15th, and then 19th, but I was also back ordered. There are a few of us on that list.
[Nexus 4 General] x3phyr:
did you get your shipping number yet bud? You were waiting with me, and I almost feel bad because I'm watching my free episode of Planet Earth on my phone right now...
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
It is just that it is too confusing especially for anyone that doesn't read your tutorial. I mean the words "back order" are self explanatory.. No long tutorial needed.

We all know that those that have had no contact or change are getting their phones as long as they got no back orders notice. The ones we need to know about now mostly are people who got back order emails. For the life of me I still don't know if anyone that got a back order email got a phone recently.

Well it seems like everyone in the US is supposed to have there devices by late night tomorrow? Thats what the google rep i just talked to said. I called and asked what my status was (Ive only called once since the 13th since i didnt want to annoy the reps and i have my Gnex so im eager but not impatient lol) But anyway She said that i should have had or should have my device shipped out already and i should have the device today if not late tomorrow and to be on the look out for the tracking number and if i dont get my order by tomorrow night to give them a call so they can escalate it. She also said that they are hoping to get all the devices and everything cleared up by tomorrow night and she sounded pretty confident but idk. It also makes sense they probably want to get everything square by then so they can open up sales on Black friday and get new customers at least thats how i rationalize it in my head. Also my payment has been pending in my debit card since the 13th but today it was gone so i think they dropped it just so they can recharge me with the shipping fee waved. Again something that seems to make sense. Also after i hung up i got this email.

Thank you for contacting Google Play! I realize you have some concerns regarding your order. I understand how that may be frustrating. I will be happy to assist you.

If you ordered on 11/13 and you did not receive a backorder notification email, your order is scheduled to arrive tomorrow. If you haven't already received a shipping confirmation email that contains the tracking number, you should receive one by end of day today. However, please note that it can take up to 1 business day for the tracking number to be activated. Rest assured that once you receive your ship confirmation email with your tracking number, it is in the process of shipping for an estimated arrival of Tuesday, Nov. 20.

It says the 20th but who knows cause i have no tracking number and i did get a backorder email so ill see if i get anything today which i doubt. I I dont know how true this all is but im hoping it is for everyone sake that has been waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
What if you did receive a bo. Not telling them is not going to do anything. These guys can't really do much but tell us crap. I don't think they have the ability push an order through.
