I just want to know what's up so I can stop trolling this damn thread! JK! You guys are awesome! Can't think of any better group to be spending my time in Limbo with than this rag tag group of 31337 hax0rs on XDA. ;)

Ending the work week in limbo, but confident that I will get my phone next week.
[Nexus 4 General] eliter1:
Still in limbo and I ordered two 8GB at 8:34am PST, within 5 minutes of it going live and checkout was a breeze. I have not heard anything from Google and I think that's pretty ****ty. I'm pretty pissed that they didn't ship them out on a first come first serve basis. Next time they should call Amazon and ask them for shipping advice.
[Nexus 4 General] icecicle:
MAN mines in Doraville and I can't go get it tomorrow ! ! ! that's like 10 miles from me !
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I can't believe some people are complaining about not getting their's till monday when most of us don't even have tracking numbers...:silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Lil Jones:
I want to ask a big question that I think has been missed several times. For the limbo people. I want to get a feel of if this may actually be what is going on.

1. Did you choose to link the phone to your account?

I know I did, I feel like this may have something to do with the delay.
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:
i ordered 2. that could be the problem for mine taking long too
[Nexus 4 General] Roxy:
I only ordered one and I'm in the same boat as you...

Sent from my teapot. :3
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I did, but I don't think it has anything to do with it. All they do is scan the IMEI on the box of the phone and link it to your account so all you have to do is type in your password. They don't actually power on the device and set up your account for you. They scan the phone anyway for inventory purposes, it shouldn't affect shipping, but who knows, I'd be interested to hear if the people that have tracking numbers ticked the box for linking to their account.
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
This is what my "nexus insanity" has done to me in attempting to not sleep and await an email loll---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNtMc4HJMC8&feature=youtube_gdata
[Nexus 4 General] nukedukem:
Still waiting
[Nexus 4 General] darkpaniel:
More so than the linking.. I have suspicion that ordering the bumper case along with the n4 may have played a role in the delay.

Any n4 + bumper folks receive their orders yet?
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
I agree..That's what the rep told me...Anyone who ordered a bumper is in limbo. So I am pretty damn sure because I've yet to see one post from a person showing a bumper in any thread YET!

Here's my status:

Ordered - 16GB Nexus 4, Nexus 4 Bumper (Black)

[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Yeah, having a confirmed shipped order must really blow.
[Nexus 4 General] darkpaniel:
Damn that bumper.. it better be spectacular with all the trouble it's caused me.

Had I known I'd be stuck in limbo mode because of it, I would have skipped right past it, no questions. But of course, hindsight is always 20/20.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
What's funny is that I've yet to see an actual picture of the bumper on a Nexus 4. I am very curious to how it looks. I would of thought one would of popped up by now.
[Nexus 4 General] Koshuu:
I didn't order a bumper, however I did order multiple items. I think anyone that just plain ordered more than one thing sadly screwed themselves over just a bit. But then again I know their are people who ordered more than one phone and received their package if not tracking at least, so who knows why those of us in limbo are here.

All I know is at this point I'd be happy to have my stuff by thanksgiving.
[Nexus 4 General] Galactic2:
No update since earlier today. Maybe my phone fell off the airplane....

This about sums up how I feel :(

Edit:

Almost as soon as I posted this, I got my shipping update. Which, when you think about it, on the play store it says that the item will ship in 3-5 business days. I ordered it tuesday, so wednesday, thursday friday, monday, tuesday. I will probably get it tuesday.
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
I am pretty sure it's something stupid holding us up. If I have it by Wednesday I'll be content. After Thanksgiving??? Then I'll rage and hulk up!!! Ooooh yeaaaah..Whatcha gonna do brother???? When Freshly runs wild on uuuu Google??
[Nexus 4 General] Lil Jones:
Yours is most likely leaving from Kentucky. Considering UPS does not deliver on Sundays but their trucks run non the less on weekends you may get it on Monday. When and what did you order?
[Nexus 4 General] apzalo:
Plenty of us ordered only a single phone and are stuck in limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] cundiffr:
No credit
[Nexus 4 General] venturizhou:
Shipping emails are going out, get em while they are still hot
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Well now we know what the issue was. The people who ordered first 15 minutes see the ones who are in limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
So... Google is unintentionally penalizing me for skipping class that day to order?
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:
great, thats totally me then. ordered 8:34am. bought 2. stupid google...

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 AM ----------

no, not penalizing. being completely stupid! thats what it is
[Nexus 4 General] BiDuSoft:
Still in Limbo here too so your theory might be correct. I ordered at 8:36AM PST time.
[Nexus 4 General] Nickel Dime Bay:
Not true, I ordered at 8:33AM PST and got my 16gig today.
[Nexus 4 General] 0.0:
I AM GETTING CONFUSED!!! goodness google, pissing me off minute by minute
[Nexus 4 General] Nickel Dime Bay:
Its weird cuz I know someone else on here ordered at the same time and they're in limbo. Doesn't make any sense, guess I got lucky.
[Nexus 4 General] howard bamber:
You would be better off buying on Amazon, here in the UK that's the case. I've always paid up front, rather than be tired to them. Plus the phones are unlocked (Carrier)

Sent from the man hiding in your attic......
[Nexus 4 General] El Daddy:
Just got my tracking number!

Interestingly it says my package weighs 2.5lbs. Seems pretty heavy for a phone and a bumper.

Maybe Google through in a surprise for me. Nexus 10 perhaps? :what:
[Nexus 4 General] iPathik:
Hey guys how can i request a saturday delivery? my phone's in my area but it wont be delivered until monday :/
[Nexus 4 General] Alexander DeLarge:
You can't, they're real bastards about that. I know...
[Nexus 4 General] iPathik:
if I do the deliver to a retail store for pick up, will they deliver it there on a saturday and i can go pick it up?
[Nexus 4 General] Alexander DeLarge:
Also off topic but there has been a lot of discussion about "entitlement issues" with many of the members of this board and I find that absolutely ridiculous. Expecting a device within the time frame provided by a multi-billion dollar corporation does not make you an entitled whining baby. The play store situation was handled extremely poorly and if they're going to be taking money from people, they better have their store set up properly. This isn't some shady Wordpress blog that supposedly gets devices cheap from the manufacturer. This is Google. If they're going to sell devices that are in such high demand, they should have a grab-bag system like Ticketmaster does when you go out and buy tickets, holds your item so no one else can take it and it has a clear stock number in place to ensure that they don't sell too many of them. If they can't handle that, they shouldn't be selling devices on their store and they should have done business through a third party that has these systems in place. There is no excuse for this after the Nexus 7 fiasco.

Do I think Google should send a Nexus 10 to everyone that this situation has impacted? No. Do I think they should toss in a bumper along with free shipping and maybe give us back the tax charges along with an official apology? Definitely within their means and would do tons to boost their public image. I am definitely not happy and if I was not a patient person, I would be done with the Nexus honestly after the hellish buying situation I went through in addition to post-purchase issues which have been well documented here on XDA.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
But just imagine how much more ****ed all this would be if Google had enabled shipping options during ordering.
[Nexus 4 General] Alexander DeLarge:
Possibly, if you do it right now it could happen but I would call just to make sure. Just make sure you do it early in the morning since they're going to literally have to locate it, put it onto a vehicle headed towards your store and deliver it. Doesn't seem likely to me.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
@ Alexander DeLarge

Exactly, I placed an order with Google in good faith within seconds of it going live, I authorized them to withdraw funds from my bank account, all with the understanding that it would be processed and shipped within Google's stated time window. That is what ****ing entitles me to the phone.
[Nexus 4 General] Alexander DeLarge:
I think once they have taken our money, they are obligated to provide us with the service as stated. We were told the device would ship out within 2-3 days of processing in addition to the shipping process. It isn't our fault as customers that some scalping jackasses bought 30 of them by glitching the system along with people accidentally adding multiple phones to their cart. The launch went absolutely terrible and it's a huge slap in the face to try and get the phone desperately for 8 hours straight, finally get one and then receive an email saying that it will be shipped within 2-3 weeks. It's also a slap to the face to anyone that got it within the first 30 minutes of the page going live. It's a slap in the face to everyone that managed to get the phone through the processing page without a page error.
[Nexus 4 General] Lil Jones:
If they do not get shipped monday... that means we will not see the phone until after thanksgiving. At that point I will be raising hell.
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
I think that when I called them after they canceled my order saying there are many more units still in stock you just need to get your order through .... then I order one to later get a backorder email .... that's a problem for me.
[Nexus 4 General] nycelitemaster:
First week of December to 2nd week per google.
[Nexus 4 General] ziggy34:
Same here, my Nexus 4 is 7 miles away.

Sent from my A500
[Nexus 4 General] Muffycheeks:
Don"t be surprised if google make some changes to the phone. This is an excellent opportunity to correct any shortcomings the phone has, since all inventory is out. Making it LTE capable for starters!
[Nexus 4 General] themrjason:
I went ahead and canceled my order...it bugs me that people did buy multiple devices and are selling them for $600 or more on ebay. No phone is worth this amount of hassle. Guess ill stckl with my crappy g2x for a little while longer.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
You're joking right? There will be zero changes to the phone.. even the ones on backorder.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
And some of us are BACKORDERED!

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Lmao this Guy loves the back order
[Nexus 4 General] illmatic90:
Alright fellow XDA community I'm in quite a predicament.

I recieved a 8GB Nexus 4 yesterday (sorry not trying to rub it in) and it is just sitting on my desk next to me at the moment unopened. I also have another 16 GB Nexus 4 (supposedly) coming in the next 3 weeks since it was back ordered. I don't want the 8GB and should really sell it but I am so tempted to open it! Do you guys think i should just say f*** it and do it and sell it later? I know it will lose value when opened. Do you think we will be getting back-ordered devices anytime soon. The suspense is killing me!
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Sell it dude. I was in the same boat as you.

Its the bee's knees

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
I would sell it if you really want the 16gb. I guess they sent out the 8GB(or maybe they had more) first before the 16gb. I live about 30 min from you and I'm still in "limbo".
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
Sell it dude(don't open it) but don't put the price like 999.99 on eBay as I saw some haha. Those fools. Make it like 50 or 100 more expensive.
[Nexus 4 General] Knuxr:
I ordered an 8GB at 8:36am PST and I am in limbo as well, there is no reasoning or method to the way they are shipping out phones.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
La-La-La-Limbo :silly:

So love Google right now :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Better than backordered like me!! :D
[Nexus 4 General] peestandingup:
Think I'm just gonna cancel. I can wait for a phone of course & its not killing me to do so, but screw Google. My account is still showing the order as pending, my card isn't charged, and its still showing an estimated shipping date of Nov 15. Well, its the g*d damn 17th now, Google. Pretty sure you can go ahead & change that. Thanks. :rolleyes:

I don't wanna give them my money if they can't do a better job at this. Or at the very least SOME kind of communication. I should have learnt my lesson from them sending me my last GNex without even a tracking number OR showing it as shipped in my account. And lets not forget the Nexus 7 clusterf**k. Oh, or the fact that they've been advertising the new Samsung Chromebooks in TV commercials that you can't even buy, or have any idea when you could. or that flashy charging orb that no one has any clue about.

Seriously, they're terrible at this. Like, to the point where they need to shut down their e-commerce, completely gut it & start over. For a multi billion dollar company, its shameful.
[Nexus 4 General] KngCobra:
Multiple phones in 1 order

Looks like they might be delaying orders from people who ordered more than one phone. Any one with multiple phone orders get your phone/tracking info?

Order Time: 11:36 PST

Cart: 2 x Nexus 4 (16GB)

Status: Pre-ordered

No tracking number yet

Pending charge still on my CC
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
Is it? I'm not so sure. In the long run it MIGHT be (assuming mine doesn't eventually go to back order after sitting here for days wondering)

Right now I'd rather know, then just be stuck guessing what is up with my order. I may be in the same order batch as you, just with no email or information. Maybe it is coming Tuesday. Who the hell knows.

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

I only ordered one, 11:35 EST. Not a single email, no status change. There is no logic or reason behind the way things were held/shipped/back ordered. It's baffling.
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
+1 I ordered one at 11:33 EST. Only received confirmation email that order is being processed. Since then, NOTHING. Not a single update. It still says pending in Gwallet. No tracking info to speak of :eek:
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Just filled out the survey Google emailed me. Had a nice rant in the comments section at the end.
[Nexus 4 General] KngCobra:
I need CLOSURE!!!!

Just tell me what the hell is going on. That's all I ask.
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
The funny thing is...........after calling and complaining about how poorly they've handled my order, they have the stones to ask me to hang on for a brief survey regarding my google experience?? :eek:

Google experience = Horse$hit! That good enough? :highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
problem is ... I don't think Google has any idea at this point. Seems like they processed and shipped completely randomly, and continue to do so. They haven't the slightest clue when "your" order is going out.
[Nexus 4 General] dantheman_:
I caved in and bought the one remaining Nexus 4 at my local T-Mobile. I signed up for a two year contract for $199 and I'm cancelling the contract and taking the ETF hit ($200). I should be spending somewhere around $400 after it's all said and done which isn't too much more than the $380 from the Play Store. I wasn't able to cancel my Nexus from Google so I guess I'll either return it or sell it. I'm one of the ones with no Backorder email or shipping notification so who knows when I'll actually get it. I just couldn't obsess over it anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] KngCobra:
I just want Google to come out with that statement, instead of all of us trying to speculate.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
Would be nice. Any contact would be appreciated at this point.
[Nexus 4 General] Burata:
This is a brilliant idea, time to hit the road and check some T-Mobile stores. I would gladly pay $20 or so more dollars through T-Mobile after Google screwed the pooch on launching and selling this phone.
[Nexus 4 General] eep2378:
the only contact I've had is if you're not on backorder list then you're good. Keep checking your email. Pretty weak contact in my book.
[Nexus 4 General] ccie1115:
Ordered 8Gb at 10:21am PST

Wallet Status: Pending

Play store: Completed

Received backorder mail on Nov 15

Received shipped email with tracking # this morning at 1:37am PST

There's still hope people....
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
It's going to cost more than that. Your going to have Taxes and a first month bill (even prorated depending on how long you wait to cancel).

Still possibly worth it, but its probably going to be closer to $50 more minimum.
[Nexus 4 General] dantheman_:
Meh.. Worth it to me. I have been so unproductive for the last 3-4 days and I'm no longer obsessing over checking GMail.
[Nexus 4 General] Hero_Guy:
Got one of those emails from Victor. Got so excited just to be a huge let down. Did they send everyone one of those emails?
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Id say its worth it. Too bad im over 200 miles from a tmobile store

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
Our only Tmob stores are in Target and Walmart (and Maybe Sams club, but that would cost another 35-40 for membership) so I doubt any of them got one anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] jsuresh:
I seriously starting to think Google might have "lost" first 5 mins of orders. No BO email, No shipping email, Play still says 15th, Wallet is still pending, CC authorization still there. WTF.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Hmm well when i go home i am like 15 minutes from the Portsmouth NH store so i might go check it out when im home next week

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] digitalsmoke:
I feel the same way. Ordered at 11:35 EST
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I tried to order right when it went live but i kept getting errors and took 15-20 minutes to finally order

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
My Nexus 4 is actually only 100 miles away....

ROFLMFAO
[Nexus 4 General] oscarmiranda90:
Any clue when are we getting N4 in amazon? Im from venezuela and i can only buy the phone from amazon USA
[Nexus 4 General] dzap:
Do not give up hope for those of you in limbo! I got an email at 1:32AM telling me my order was shipped! 16GB.

UPS tracking said the label was created Friday...hoping for Monday delivery.

Here's the kicker...this was my second order created after 9AM PST that shipped. The order I made early at 833AM....still in limbo. WTF.

But good news for those who think they are backordered who ordered late! There is still hope. I will now enjoy my weekend comfortably knowing at least one Nexus is on my way to me. :)

Do not give up hope you guys....Google will surely deliver.

What are you doing here then? Get in your car and go rob the UPS facility of your Nexus :D
[Nexus 4 General] jamesey10:
I ordered after 20 minutes. Got the same thing.
[Nexus 4 General] jsuresh:
for some reason, Google decided to change order date in Google Play to Nov 17th.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
That's bizarre. Mine still shows 13th.
[Nexus 4 General] dzap:
So has mine (both the one that was just shipped and the one still in limbo). My only guess is they screwed up their ordering system some how and had to change the date to process orders stuck in limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] jsuresh:
You are probably right. Somehow the old orders got screwed up and the only way to get them back in line is to bring the orders current.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
If that is the case I hope mine gets changed. Still showing 13th *sigh*.

Speculation is awesome, damn Google.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Mine does too. I'm not in the limbo gang though

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] jsuresh:
I think the date change is only for limbo group.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Weird mine says the 17th as well. I am not in limbo though I'm back order
[Nexus 4 General] hondarider525:
Got my nexus 4 on the east coast yesterday. It has an issue with the screen, not exactly sure what it is. Its like a stuck pixel, expect bigger. Its just a small area of the screen (maybe 3 pixels in size) that is always bright. Glad I got the phone but looks like Im going to be living with that for a few months until everyone gets theirs. Good luck to everyone, the phone is really amazing and even with my stuck pixels I am still keeping it over the GS3!

YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINT.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
Doesn't seem that is the case. I ordered 11:35am EST, No backorder email, no status update. AKA Limbo group.

Mine still shows 13th.

Still possible and I am just still stuck, but of course we are all just guessing anyway.
[Nexus 4 General] richteralan:
Very tempting!!:D
[Nexus 4 General] N!ghtgold:
I just checked mine still show Nov 13... And I still in Limbo Land :(
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
This whole thing is just completely messed up. I'm just going to wait it out until I hear something from el Goog

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
My wallet still shows the 13 though. Weird. Thinking about emailing play store about it.
[Nexus 4 General] takgeun68:
I did not recieve any tracking information yet, nor the backorder email, and my CC was not charged, and the reps are just saying wait for couple more days....anyone here in the same boat with me?
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
Mine still says Nov 13 as well
[Nexus 4 General] afbengochea:
Mine changed the date to today but under the status it's still saying shipping estimate November 15. I did receive the border email though even though I've received a tracking order for another order I placed 8 minutes earlier both another 16 gig
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I'm not in limbo and mine still got changed though.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
Lots of us.
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
Mine shipped at 3AM last night. I really hope I get it by Tuesday or I'll have to hold it or change it to one day shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] takgeun68:
Yes...I figured...they really screwed this up big time...Reps told me that their information is just good as mine, they only see what I can see....thats crazy..how do they think they will help anyone while providing the same information to their customer service?...

The worst thing is that the BACK ORDER EMAIL IS STILL BEING SENT....Cant imagine receiving a back order email on Monday or Tuesday...that will piss soooooooo many people...
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I'm hoping that the backorder ones get sent out next week. Thats just me being optimistic though..
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Seems weird that they changed the date to the 17th maybe that means they will process our orders in the next two days, once again me being optimistic, I emailed a support guy that has been emailing me so I'll let everyone know what he says.
