oh boy, here we go :P

Did you use a amoled screen before?

The n4 uses an IPS panel which doesn't has the "pop" colors of an amoled screen but is usually much more accurate when it comes to color representation.

still pending :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] le_bron:
Ordered at 17:03:19 and still pending. So 17:04ers and 17:05ers I think you must wait for me first!

I already opened a thread regarding this. I had a Optimus 4X HD before which uses the same display technology but the colors looked way better than on the nexus. (Even the colors of my Optimus 2X looked better :()

I hope I get used to it.

Well, it looks like they don't ship anything today. Or did anyone see someone who got the shipping mail today anywhere on the net? Maybe it's because of the weather or maybe the stock is already gone for this week.
[Nexus 4 General] SiemensLover:
As i can read they get shippment every Monday! That is why we should expect shippment mail on Tuesdays!.. just relax and enjoy the cold weather :)
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidPAX:
Hey guys, i do understand your pain as I am feeling the same. I also see, that google did not prepare as they should do and so on, story is known so far, but actually i cannot understand this flaming against google for not sending you the phone right 1 or 2 days after the order placement.

everybody of us got an orderconfirmation (even this is more than we could have hoped for during last weeks since the 13th) and there is a shipping time mentioned. So stay calm, if your confirmation tells you 4-5 weeks and it is not already shipped.

what did you expect?

So let´s stay together and share the information we get. Waiting is damn s***, but at least we know, that we will get one.
[Nexus 4 General] DiggHead:
Am I the only one who ordered at 17:03:50 and is still left with that ugly ausstehenden status?

I badly need this phone since I am rocking a HTC Desire that saw more drop tests than any phone could survive ;)

Brave, lagging, little motherf**ker...
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidPAX:
do you have a source for this information?
[Nexus 4 General] Bavilo:
I ordered my Nexus 4 at exactly 17:00:35, got the confirmation email at 17:01, the shipping notice the very next day and TODAY the package is already loaded onto the delivery truck.

If I'm really lucky I will get it within the next few hours.

YES!

Google changed the Gamma setings with the November 13 update.

according to users colours were allot better before the update.

Kernel developers are already addressing this issue, faux said he is already able to control gamma and will update his app with gamma control soon.
[Nexus 4 General] Mayflex:
Have got the S3 and the N4 in front of me. The colours of the N4 are munch less saturated than on the S3. But the brightness of the N4 is awesome. Not sure which i like better, but they are definitely playing in the same class!

So i think there is no reason to complain about the screeen.

But one thing you recognize at once: The useable screen of the N4 is munch smaller than the screen of the S3 due to this huuuge softbuttons. I definitely need ParanoidAndroid on the N4 ;)
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidPAX:
"ausstehend" or "pending" seems to be ok until you will get the shipping confirmation. has been discussed regularly in this thread

PS: damn bot-protection ... it takes me sometimes 4-5 tries to send a reply - maybe I simply should read what´s written above of the posting side ..."to prevent spam from forums, new users must wait five minutes between posts ..." :P
[Nexus 4 General] SiemensLover:
i just read that here in forum.. all we have ist just theories here.. google has lost its tongue.. there is no official stattments.. too bad

Just think about it, and u will find that the Monday theory is a fact!
[Nexus 4 General] Orphelia:
Youre not the only one at all! Regarding how many got shipment mail so far there will be a lot of us waiting for a sign. But it seems there will be no mails with good news today?!

btw odered 17:03:26

So me FIRST Google! :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
People starting to get shipping mails again :good:
[Nexus 4 General] SiemensLover:
How?
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
What do you mean? My statement was pretty clear I thought... people on android-hilfe reporting it... even people who ordered on Nov.13 getting mails now ;)
[Nexus 4 General] DiggHead:
I feel like a little kid on Christmas ;)

I just hope I get my phone before 15th asI did a pre order at MediaMarkt and i don't like the idea of paying an extra 35€ just to get my device a couple of days earlier. But I know I won't be able to whitstand
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
we're not flaming Google for not shipping our devices so far, we're flaming Google for shipping SOME devices and others not. Yesterday a guy posted who ordered after 19.00 o'clock on 4.12 and ond 5.12 received a shipping email.

It would be fine (for me) if they've shipped devices of people who ordered within the first 2 minutes or something but NOT in an absolutely random order! I mean there are people who got a 4-5 weeks shipping estimation and now already got their phone. Some other (yes, like me) have a 1-2 weeks shipping estimation and did not hear anything.

That is what pisses me of.

(No offence to the people who got their phone by now or will receive it in the next days since this isn't influenced by them, but again a Google fu** up)
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidPAX:
I do agree with you concerning official statements by google ... this was way too bad for such a global player. but at the moment i must admit, that google do not need to tell anything at the moment. you can order and then you will get a confirmation and an estimated shipping period.

but I know what you want to say and basically I agree.

concerning the monday as only shipping day, I really cannot imagine this should be true. they should have more than for only one day to ship. I do not believe they will keep devices in stock for the next monday to be shipped again. besides that I guess some people started to blow your guess away, if it is really true, that there are new shipping mails right now. actually at least I wish you are not right :) I want to get my device as soon as possible
[Nexus 4 General] Bavilo:
I WAS RIGHT!

quess who rang the door bell!? and guess who's holding a Nexus 4 in his hands RIGHT NOW :D

wooooooohooooo
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidPAX:
@Mash87 yeah, this is really bulls***. It would be interesting at least to know if it is really random or if they have a process behind it...

interesting is, that most orders are from between 17:00 and 17:02, but also some from far later times.

someone thought, that it may be a matter of shipping address ... but actually this is something i cannot believe ... but there are also a lot of people around parcel center "Feucht"....i am lost ... :)
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
uhm, I might be to stupid for this, how do I add my information into this?
[Nexus 4 General] ChRYs73:
I think you just have read access now....
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Seems like it's the hobby of google to f*ck up things at the moment.

F*cked up delivery, f*cked up screen, f*cked up app rating (I don't want to see my full name next to my app rating)

Hopefully at least the screen will get fixed soon...
[Nexus 4 General] Bavilo:
Just played around with the Nexus 4 a bit and I don't see any touchscreen issues at the moment. Maybe it's a newer kernel or maybe different drivers for the touchscreen?
[Nexus 4 General] le_bron:
I don't think so sir. I am 17:03:19...
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
If your statement is related to my post:

There is no issue with the touchscreen, the issue are the colors. They are washed out.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
As you can see here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Agppx1sc3XqBdGpIejlramI5VDhjQkNpUnZzdmI3bGc#gid=0

There are people who ordered way after you and already got their devices. Please step away from the thought that Google is processing the orders in any logical pattern.
[Nexus 4 General] Bavilo:
Its not related to your post. People complained about the touchscreen sensitivity being too low.

Oh and the colors aren't washed out. That's what they are supposed to look like.
[Nexus 4 General] AndroidPAX:
how can I add my data to this sheet? it seems to be read-only for me....
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
Don't know what you are refering to but the the last shipped device in that list is at 17:02:42... The other two shipped devices after that time are only 8GB versions...
[Nexus 4 General] Bavilo:
I would add mine to the list, but the list is view only.

I have already received my 16gb device after placing my order at 17:00:35
[Nexus 4 General] Backfisch:

Now I have to unpack my packet.

Everyone, who is still waiting ,I wish that the time will pass quickly!
[Nexus 4 General] bokagavrilov:
they changed that weeks ago ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
I'm referring to the marked 16GB devices
[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:
Well but he ordered after those, they are both under 17:02... And he is over 17:03... so far pretty much nobody who ordered after 17:03 got a 16GB shipped... The list shows the last shipped 16GB was ordered at 17:02:42...

Not that it matters, just saying ;)
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Ups, you're right! I've mixed 17 o'clock with 7 o'clock because of this:

He might not be in the list, but there ARE people who ordered way after 17:05 and received a shipping notification.

But as you said, in the end it doesn't matter much, we can't change it anyway

[Nexus 4 General] AndroidPAX:
don´t know ... this would be really ridiculous if they would really take two more nexus 4 and deliver them to a guy in the first line together with his first one ... but it is google and they need to learn how e-commerce works ...

somebody already wrote here, that they maybe should hire somebody from amazon to rebuild this part of the play store :D
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Better don't assume this.

They weren't even able to add a Bumper to my order, and told me to order it seperately (6,99€ to send me a 20g piece of plastic, are you f*cking kidding me Google?)

Also they didn't link my phone to my Google Account although the checkbox was checked when I ordered my Neuxs.

problems ordering nexus 4 using a vpn with a german ip

I am trying to order a nexus 4 on google play using a vpn (tor/vidalia german ip) but once I get to the part where the phone is in the shopping cart and I click on "fortfahren" it gets stuck. I have a german credit card and adress in google checkout but it still doesnt work. Any suggestions where the problem could be?
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
I think we have a winner :laugh:

try a different browser if possible (firefox, chrome) and check your java plugin.

Do you think it is even worth buying now? When the delivery is 6_7 weeks?
[Nexus 4 General] Intruder7s:
Hopefully it's 6-7 weeks max.

It's either that or wait for some other phone to be released....
[Nexus 4 General] Stylez Ray.:
Yes, I hoped it would arrive today but no luck..lets hope it will be here tomorrow!
[Nexus 4 General] BobTheBlade:
Maybe you misunderstood me. I wasn't mad about not getting my device after 2 days. I simply wanted to point out that till noon not one single person said that he or she got a shipping mail today. Even now I only know of exactly one! at android-Hilfe.de. So I think whoever hasn't gotten one will at least have to wait till next week - me included.
[Nexus 4 General] cikomiko:
i ordered today another one with 6-7 weeks estimated shipping time.

i don´t think that it´s gonna take that much time, because google already charged me.

[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Very honest and amateur 1st impression report

OK, I am one of the lucky ones got my order through within the fist minute two days ago, and also one of the lucky ones received the phone today from Feucht.

I have it shipped to my work place, instead of my home. I honestly do not want to tempt my roommates to do something stupid :)

Confession first: before N4, my first and only smartphone was galaxy gio with 2.3.6.

That said, the N4 is, for a long while, TOO fast for me :) I was used to open the phone wait for the app and think what to do. But as for N4, I click and the app is ready to go while I am even done thinking what to do. That also has to do with the fact that the Jelly Bean is totally new to me. Some times I do not even know where to go for the things I want. Yes, amateur indeed.

The biggest suggestion for you guys: GET A CASE!!! It does not matter how boring it looks like or how cheap. I answered a phone call outside on my way home. The glass felt like a piece of ice in a few minutes.

I have this case: as other reviewers said, the power and the volume are not very easy to access.

And I have this screen

Also, the review already said, the front one is somewhat smaller than the actual screen size. But it is not much trouble.

I have to say, putting screen and case on took me a while. I am normally clumsy on this sort of things. So the best skin ever is not for me :)

Maybe I have read too many negative complaints before, My expectation was kind of low when I got it this morning around 11:30. Most of issues being reported were not there on my phone, except the wifi signal. The bar of signal changes even if I just turn around on the same spot. Any idea how to improve that?

Battery is great. Since I got it, I downloaded all my apps and play around and tried all the new functions. This should be counted as somewhat heavy use. 5 hours later it dropped from 87% original to 57% now. No doubt it can hold the entire day...oh, I did install go power master almost right away.

Over the lunch break, I went to the Eplus store, the closest phone store. The guy did not even check if I am using Eplus before he helped me to cut the sim card. So, here is the solution for your microsim card.

As for google now, it does respond to German command, but still English is preferred. I could ask questions in German, but google now does not speak German back to me. As for English, there can be a conversation :)

When I got the phone, I was asked to update to 4.2.1. So the phone was shipped with 4.2 on it.

My windows 7 has no problem recognizing the N4...no driver needed.

That's all for now. I am still learning...oh, btw, the 16G actually has less than 13G for you to use.

Question:

I cannot find my google credit or any free movie people mentioned. Where is it? and if you think I need to know something, please post :) I am really a beginner here :)
[Nexus 4 General] samotronta05:
Everyone i know including me who got a confirmation saying, ships within 3-5days, got their phone today.

Looks like Google got their **** together this time, at least the estimated shipping times where correct.

Even though DHL arrived very late ~17:30 at my home while normally they arrive around 13:30.

Must be for all the Christmas shopping..
[Nexus 4 General] Hidden92:
Google now voice recognition is quite useless in my opinion. When I try to use English words with language = German it totally f*cks up what I'm saying and if I use English as language it always searches instead of performing actions like calling someone or playing a song.

While I really hate Apple this is something that was a great idea. It looks and feels extremely nice and high-quality.

The only thing that bothers me are the volume and lock buttons, they feel really cheap, I think some flat buttons with the same color as the border would have looked and felt way better.

I don't know if I'm wrong here, but looking at that Google Docs list someone posted here, I see, that the 16GB version of the Nexus 4 got shipped for everyone who ordered in the first two minutes, looks like Google IS shipping in a logical order.

Do you guys think the charging orb selling will be a massacre as the Nexus 4 selling was?

I want one as soon as it's available but when I miss the release for some reason and it's sold out directly I would be really pissed.
