Based on this poll, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994530 8gb N4 seems to have a better percentage of shipping emails. Of course, the emails are still small compared to the rest that didn't get an email..

Same boat. I ordered a 16gb at 8:32AM PST and still no email. Just pending on google wallet and shipment notice of 11/15 on google play.
[Nexus 4 General] eliter1:
Did you just get that right now?

Nope, got the shipping confirmation at 1:34AM this morning

My order is back ordered! And my aunt was goin to get it. Now sincr the order is back ordered, can i change the address of shipment? Cos she is leaving in 26th. My another aunt is coming in jan. Can i shift the shipment to her address?

Why is your package 0.8 lbs heavier than everyone elses?

I bought 2.
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
So I ordered on time....Still says Shipping date on the 15th in my Play Store version...>Wallet says my order has been sent to Google Inc....No Back Order email for me....Authorization cleared and Charge still pending. I am confused as to what would be my hold up then. Can someone look at the time below and tell me if i ordered the second it went live? To my knowledge I did.

Its 12:01 UTC-8:00 11/16/2012, at this time I have not gotten an email that it has been shipped or backordered Google told me it will ship today (11/16/2012)

Got this from a representative.

"Thank you for contacting me at Google Play Support. I show your account is in chargeable status. However you still may receive your device with in the 2-3 business days after the 1-2 business days of the processing period. We have been experiencing some difficulty with some customers getting an email stating their order is on back order then their device has been shipped. If you have anything further please contact me back.

Thank you for contacting Google Play Support, please email me if you have any further questions or concerns."

Does that mean even though I received the backorder email, there is a chance of it being shipped within 2-3 business days?? Google is making me go crazy!
[Nexus 4 General] ajaffarali:
Got the "Due to overwhelming demand..." email today :(

However, I had sent an email to Google before getting that and the reply I got stated that my unit is supposed to ship out tonight so not sure what is going on.
[Nexus 4 General] BiDuSoft:
The reason I asked is not about weight LoL. From the statistics, 2x16GB shipment is much rarer than 1x16GB & 1x8Gb and then 2x8GB... Would be nice if you could confirm this for us.
[Nexus 4 General] otariq:
The backorder email was a mass email for anyone who didn't have tracking number at the time. The csr told me they are fulfilling backorders on the basis of time of placed order so it can takes up to 3 weeks to be filled but I'm hoping a lot of ppl will see shipped phones by early next week
[Nexus 4 General] min2209:
3x16GB incoming tomorrow morning. Ordered 8:34am PST California.
[Nexus 4 General] Geo411m:
If they didn't process the orders in the time received I hardly think they'll process the backorders in that order. I think they'll do the easy onesy orders first and move to the harder multiple orders but within the time frame. Having said that, I've heard nothing regarding my 16GB/bumper combo order :(

[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
You beat me by 35s and I am sitting in the same boat. I haven't received a single email, not even confirmation, but my status looks the same as yours. When I called Google yesterday afternoon they said that means we are safe and should be shipped any time. Still very aggrivating to be in limbo and not knowing what the status really is. Would be nice to know.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Not quite. I've seen two people got an order in at 11:31.xx, one person in at 11:32:28, and I got mine in at 11:32:36, all times adjusted to EST. To my knowledge non of the four of us has received tracking information.
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:
i bought mine at 11:34am EST. no confirmation email. google states that mine will ship on nov. 15. google received my order, and thats all it says on wallet. what the heck is going on google...
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
STILL ****ING NOTHING. I really really hope that some consumer protection group sues Google for Billions of dollars so they can learn a ****ing lesson. Now I see, just as others have noted, that the funds have been released and I have no more pending charges from Google in my account. Google wallet still shows the pending charge, and I still ****ing have "Est shipping: nov 15" IT'S THE 16TH ALREADY, YOU MORONS. No emails. Nothing new at all, actually.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Sure as ****. My bank just gave up on Google too, authorization dropped.

---------- Post added at 04:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

E-mailed Google again, did not get the 30 second later automated response.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
lol maybe even Google has given up at this point? Let us know if you hear anything back from them. I'm interested in hearing how the **** they can continue to say that your order will ship as is claimed in the play store (nov 15) when it is the 16th already
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
IDK, going to call them.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
Okay. Please keep us updated. I'm thinking of calling now as well. If they give you any new bull**** information, I'll call too and we can laugh at their contradictions :)
[Nexus 4 General] seltheair:
same here.

fwiw, I just called (2nd time since Tue).

CSR said if you didn't get the backorder email, you're gtg - most likely will ship today, and you'll get an email. if not, call back mon
[Nexus 4 General] aaronuser:
Unreal...now my funds to have been put back into my bank. This is a joke.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
I think everyone's has. I'm sure that the authorization was set to expire after a certain period of time. Our orders should've been shipped, and the money withdrawn by that point. Unfortunately, Google is a cluster**** and couldn't manage to do that.
[Nexus 4 General] aaronuser:
Epic fail
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Nope, they don't know ****. She did at least openly admit to me that they have no access to any information regarding the way orders are processed. She informed me about the back order, had no response when I pointed out I am aware of the e-mail and have not received that notice.

Me: "I ordered a device hours even before some people who have received shipping confirmation, have you been given any explanation for the disparity in the way Google is processing orders?"

Lynette: "I'm sorry, it could be something to do with how their payment system processes or how your's does. I don't know, and we don't have any way to actually access the information, other than to say the order has been processed."

If this doesn't get resolved by this evening, and my local T-mobile has one in stock, I am buying it, then immediately paying the ETF. $199phone + $200EFT + $35activation +$13.62taxes = $63 more than google.

In other news... I'm going to pick up my nexus from the ups store later today... :)

But seriously can all of you stop complaining on this thread about how your phone is backordered for a few weeks. Yeah you're mad and I would be too but complaining here isnt gonna solve anything. Unless you actually have useful information don't make a post showing the email you got from google. You'll be fine without the newest phone for a few weeks.

I just called as well, and it pretty much went exactly as yours did. It's useless to call them as they have the exact same information we have access to. I kind of feel bad for them getting put in the middle of this mess. It's sad that their management has actually told them to lie to people just to calm them down. Pathetic tactic on Google's part.

Quickly take out all money from the account, and keep the phone. Tell Google you haven't received it, and that they should check back in 3 weeks. 3 Weeks later, tell them you found it and pay.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
This just plain sucks. Yes, obviously I'm pissed. But I thought I was taking it in stride, I mean when comes down to it, **** it, it's just a phone. The the way my jaw feels this morning, I think I've been grinding my teeth the last couple nights. I can barely chew. Trying to just let it be, but this not knowing is straight up infuriating me. This better be the most goddamned amazing mother****ing phone that king midas himself wishes he could **** out.

Sorry to disappoint, but the iPhone 5 is actually a lot better. In fact, I would wager that most people here would pick the iPhone 5 if they were priced the same off contract. Heck, jailbreak it, and you have just as much customization as Android.
[Nexus 4 General] tawfiqmp:
I don't agree with that.

Better specs, better screen, no thermal throttling, better battery life, LTE,...I could go on...

You know why I won't take you seriously? Because in essence, you just said that the Nexus One beats the iPhone 5 :rolleyes:

Good luck with that...

Edit: Not gonna reply to anymore Apple bashing comments. Don't really care. I just wanna get my damn phone from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] illmatic90:
Same exact situation for me too. Could Google be giving us phone for free due this chaotic mess they caused?? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Z-Man™:
Go away and play with a iphone then. jailbroken iPhone ha what a joke
[Nexus 4 General] aimetti:
as someone that is using an iphone 5 right now , i cant wait till this thing is gone.

Ive had every iphone since the 3g , thing has become so stale / boring its not even funny. Good luck w/ a jailbreak too. Wont be released for the 5 until god knows when.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
I doubt Google will give anything for free aside from shipping (maybe)

Did they ever even apologize for the Nexus 7 fiasco?
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
lol, I'll buy a nokia brick first! Nah, I just don't like Apple's business model. I was really hoping everything would change when Jobs died, but nope they're still trolling. I think Wozniak is brilliant, and some of the innovations in Apple products are fantastic, for the majority of users. Like installing the OS for most Macs on a flash chip on the mainboard, awesome, if you don't want to be able to fully determine the hardware in your computer. It took PC's years to catch up to that little trick, although I think their implementation is better, a flash chip attached to the hard drive. A tech which really didn't last long cause now you can just get a SSD and call it good. I digress.

I just don't want an Apple product :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Pedro Peguero Jr.:
I was once an iPhone user (all the way to till the 4S) and its not all about the specs. Battery life is dependent on your OWN usage. Heck, I got 24+ hours on my Galaxy S3. LTE is not available in my area, so it's useless here.

And jailbreaking the iPhone DOES NOT match the customization of android, lmaoooo.

I was a hardcore jailbreaker, and the customization on android surely EXCEEDS the iPhones "jailbreaking" possibilities. Trust me >.>
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
I could've gotten the iPhone 5 for $199 (I don't care about contract, I'm with AT&T anyway and that isn't going to change). Instead I used my upgrade to buy a Lumia 920 for $99 and ordered the Nexus 4 for $380.

I've owned multiple iPhones, so it has nothing to do with any bias. I could care less who makes my phone or what brand logo is on it.

In the end the iPhone 5 was near the bottom of the list, with the Note II, 8x, 920, One-X+, and Nexus 4 all looking better to me.

It's different for everyone but screen size is near the top of my importance list, and in that regards the iPhone 5 is total fail. Until their is at least a 4.3" iphone I wont even consider it. 2ndly the shape of the phone is HORRENDOUS. It's like an old bar phone (just smaller), only it weighs so little it feels like your holding a childs plastic toy, it feels cheap.

Enough with the iPhone argument.

My N4 experience

Ordered Nov 13th at 8:36am PST

Received email confirmation instantly

Received shipping confirmation Nov 15th 1:08am PST

Tracking numbers shows that it will arrive today by end of day. So excited. Will be my 5th Nexus device.
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
So did Google release the hold on everyone's funds? I still have the charge pending on my account.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
^THIS^

Let's everybody throw a thanks ctowne's way, it is this sort of thinking which will keep us from flinging our NexusRage at each.

So, in other news, haven't got my phone :silly: I know, you're all stunned, how did Google manage to miss that poor guy, you've been playing with your N4's for days, and it's amazing. LIES! You're dreaming, there is no Nexus 4. This is all some test orchestrated by Google's sentient servers.

The Nexus is a LIE!
[Nexus 4 General] dsmitty166:
Everyone just needs to calm down in here. Yes Google screwed this one up pretty big, but there's nothing we can do about it now. Arguing and complaining won't get us anywhere.

And for all those complaining about not having shipping info yet, what about all of us who weren't even able to order anything? You are way ahead of thousands of us.

In the end guys, its just a phone, you will get it sooner or later, no one is going to die from having to wait the inconvenient 3 weeks or so...

Yeah, see the problem is when Google ASSURED us that if we managed to order the phone, it would be shipped by the 15th, and went as far as forcing us to pay for 2 day shipping, some of us sold our phones. Do you see where we might be at an even bigger disadvantage? I currently have no phone, and if Google decides to not send me a phone for 3 weeks, well then I am completely ****ed. Thanks, Google! :rolleyes:

iOS is simply too limited for me.
[Nexus 4 General] dsmitty166:
Yes but they also refunded your shipping. Sorry man. Crap happens. They screwed up and underestimated the demand. But there's nothing you can do about it now.

I want to know where exactly Google ASSURED you that it would indefinitely be shipped by then.

[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
lol, Washington Post should have an article "Google pays for advertisements rather than competent employees."
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
Wasn't that the reason they didn't take preorders? And I wouldn't be upset if they underestimated the demand as long as people who ordered hours after me weren't getting their phones before I got mine.
[Nexus 4 General] dsmitty166:
You're right that is wrong
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
If everyone saying "other" limbo'd? As in, no news from Google at all, except multiple emails saying it will ship yesterday?
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
Yep. Got my cash back. I wonder how Google is going to do this now.
[Nexus 4 General] timskyline86:
Huh I'm the first one to click shipped? It's worse than I thought.
[Nexus 4 General] booyakasha:
Too many thanks today to thank you, but that is exactly the problem I have. Knowing that, I'm not sure how anyone could continue to defend Google. There are people who ordered an hour after me that are receiving their phones today...and I'm in limbo. If mine shows up today unannounced (unlikely), I'll be ecstatic, but I'm not holding my breath.

Oh well, free shipping and I'm gonna try to squeeze a bumper case out of them for it (they're out of stock too, though).
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Well I have one shipped and two backordered. Thats why I did "both"
[Nexus 4 General] dankoman:
not really. most of the people who are shipped couldn't care less about this thread since they already have their tracking number.
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:
I've been in limbo as well. It's frustrating. If my phone shows up today that would awesome but I am also not holding my breath. I've received no email and ups my choice has sent me nothing.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Just realized I had my information wrong in UPS MyChoice, ****, this just made limbo even worse. At least with the MyChoice I thought I knew it hadn't really shipped. FMMFLGD
[Nexus 4 General] dorkboy69:
Mine is being delivered today and like others Google took the charge out of my account.

Thanks for the free phone Google!

Although I am pretty sure they will figure it out sooner then later.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
*Facepalm* I'd be really tempted to give them a dose of their own medicine if that happened to me
[Nexus 4 General] timskyline86:
Huh I guess so, what's worse in 3 weeks the same mess will probably happen again once its in stock on the play store. It's really not that hard, that's the whole point of pre-orders to figure out how much volume they need. They only pissed off people with the N7 because they got it after the store releases and it cost more in the long run. But they pretty much did everything they said they would do and released it on time.

I really think next time they need to take pre-orders the moment they announce it and tell people, what batch they are in when they sign up. It will elevate so many problems and expectations from people.

Waiting for the fiasco of my N4 issues this or that, GOOGLE YOU SUCK EVEN MORE comments...just like the N7
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
Personally, I don't care about any of that. I don't care that it is delayed.

What I do care about is the lack of communication. I have NO IDEA where my order stands. That is very frustrating.
[Nexus 4 General] advil0:
I'm really interested to see if any of us limbo-ers get a phone today.

Like many of you guys, I ordered early (8:33am PST) and received the initial confirmation but no emails after that, no BackOrder, no Shipping, nothing.

The charge was just dropped off my bank, as well.

If any of you guys are in the same situation and DO receive a phone today, let us know, I have a feeling we might be getting it today based on previous occurrences.
[Nexus 4 General] aceo07:
Yes, it'd be good to know where I stand in this massive 'line' that doesn't have any sort of order.

I don't feel like calling since it seems like calling doesn't help the shipping process at all and they don't have more access to information than you do..
[Nexus 4 General] Nimche:
Did you guys pay with checking account cuz all the charges are still pending with my credit card company as pending even the shipped one.
[Nexus 4 General] aceo07:
What previous occurrences are you referring to? (Don't get our hopes up too high, it could be a big crash later!)
[Nexus 4 General] Sturos:
+1, only difference for me is the charge is still pending.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Awesome it is now theb16th and I'm still in limbo no backorder mass email no shipping still pending in wallet and play store hasn't been updated preauth still on card..

I've seen a few posts from the UK/AUS with similar situations and they got their phone, and the Nexus 7 launch a lot of this happened as well.
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:
Same here plus no email from UPS MyChoice.

Where in the world is Nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] echaru:
Looks like there are more people with no email than shipped and backordered combined.
[Nexus 4 General] legacygt:
I got the BO email at 2:01 pm on the 15th. at around 7:30. never received an email from ups. but around 9: pm my money was put back into my checking account. I ordered a 16 gb at 11:56 am CST in the 13th.....
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
How many of you in limbo have a bumper on the same order like myself?

Maybe that's what's holding things up.
[Nexus 4 General] Sturos:
Negative on the bumper, just a single 16 GB device here. 8:33 AM order time.
[Nexus 4 General] jenskristian:
I'm in limbo. Still says Nov 15 and pending. Only ordered the 16 GB N4. Ordered 8:35 AM PST.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Nope
[Nexus 4 General] legacygt:
I have herd some people saying that they are having problems cancelling their order. Could that possibly mean they cvan not cancle because the order has already shipped?
[Nexus 4 General] Nimche:
I understand the frustration but don't blame yourself for that. I have a bumper on separate order and bumper and order are both in back order.

Bizarre thing as other have stated already that phones ordered after your order are shipped.
