It is not bad that young people have the n4 but it shows that the many older people arent interested in android. They just go to the next store and buy an iPhone or galaxy...

I bought a nexus because there are so many ROMs and not to have stock android but it looks like that many people don't think like I do. Of course stock android is better than any other thing like touchwitz etc.

I got a nexus because I was sick of having to flash Roms , backing up apps , losing data on some apps , I just wanted good hardware , fast updates , an ui not overloaded with crap ... In a way you could say that nexus is the most similar thing to an iPhone in the android world ...

[Nexus 4 General] samskisam:
I guess most of students in Germany go to the nearest O2 shop and get the first Samsung they see with their contracts. Rest of them buy an iPhone.

Imo none of both phones is better than the N4 which is still a top smart phone and for 250€ certainly a great deal.
[Nexus 4 General] nexuspur:
The nexus 4 is still a high-end phone and it will stay as a phone with very good custom ROMs and kernels.

Hey,

welche Tastatur App benutzt ihr?

Ich benutze schon sehr lange Swiftkey, werde aber manchmal wahnsinnig, was mir da so oft vorgeschlagen wird und einfach nur falsch ist :/ Ich glaube die Deutsche Sprache hat einige Probleme bei sowas, die besten Beispiele sind ja dich-doch, auch-sich und die Konjunktive ala hätte-hatte, könnte-konnte, etc.

Habt ihr auch solche Probleme, oder wie macht ihr das? Ich versuche sowohl Tippen als auch Swypen aber beide sind hier und da gleich nervig.
[Nexus 4 General] Lazy Rich:
Ich hab noch keine Tastatur gefunden die mich wirklich zu 100% zufrieden stellt, gerade aus den von dir genannten Gründen. SwiftKey ist da schon die beste, wenn halt auch nicht ganz perfekt.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
[Nexus 4 General] Oxious119:
Also, ich nutze eigtl nur die aosp Tastatur und bin damit auch zufrieden. Das Problem mit den Konjunktionen ist wohl einfach der Sprache geschuldet. Im englischen lässt sich das zB bei "ill" und "i'll" beobachten. Einige Tastaturen sind hier besser, andere schlechter. Ist halt schwer für den Computer zu verstehen in welchem Kontext ein Wort steht.

250k population north of Hamburg? Sounds like you live just around the corner ;).

I wouldn't be surprised if mine was the only nexus in town. Most people I see on the street have a galaxy or iPhone.

[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
news about orders, anyone?
[Nexus 4 General] Tom Servo:
Google doesn't need to source anything. LG is selling the Nexus4 on its own, too, so there should be a steady flow of components.
[Nexus 4 General] ptr_hamilton:
Actually it's not 40€ because you gotta pay 10 for shipping if you buy from play store.. Plus with that many issues reported I would wonder if you are lucky to send your device back to Ireland instead of going to media market for replacement ;)

[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Anything new? Can he confirm this rumor, saying in only a few days we will have our N4s: http://www.androidinfosource.com/2012/11/16/nexus-4-weeks-away-days-according-to-play-support/
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
Not like LG (or anyone else) is stockpiling those expensive chips and displays just in case. Any sane manufacturer these days calculate their demand projections and then orders their chips accordingly. In this case google/lg clearly underestimated. Would LG reduce their OG in favour of N4? No way, they also have their carrier and retail contracts to fulfill.

If google is lucky and can find all the needed components, then we will probably see the next batch in 3-4 weeks.

I am kind of sure they don't fancy the same sold-out chaos once again, so they need some proper quantities this time.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
any news for this week? thx
[Nexus 4 General] deoneR:
so google really thought that the stock they had would last for 3-4 weeks... I don't think they underestimated this bad

Hallo zusammen,

da meine Englischkentnisse nicht die besten sind, stelle ich meine Frage hier rein und hoffe doch sehr auf eine deutsche Antwort.

Ich hoffe sehr, dass mir jemand bei meinen Fragen helfen kann.

Es bezieht sich auf diesen Thread hier: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1995688

Besitze bald ein Nexus 4 und hätte bezüglich dem Rooten noch ein paar Fragen, da ich auf diesem Gebiet noch ein absoluter, blutiger Anfänger bin. Wenn ich mittels dem Nexus 4 Toolkit das Handy roote, dann bekomme ich doch keine Updates mehr via OTA, oder ich bekomme diese Updates noch, darf sie aber dann nicht mehr installieren ??

Wie bleibe ich dann immer auf dem neusten Update-Stand ??

Ist ein root auf dem Nexus 4 unbedingt sinnvoll, bzw. welche Vorteile habe ich davon ??
[Nexus 4 General] Guto ViP:
ENGLISH, please!

This topic is about Germany, BUT the forum is internacional...
[Nexus 4 General] surfalex2000:
Die updates kannst du natürlich immernoch installieren, aber du musst danach immer wieder Rooten. Oder du installierst dir die version die du im internet findest die meistens dann schon gerootet ist.

Ich beschäftige mich seit dem ersten Tag mit Android, und bei jeden Handy war ich froh es zu haben. Als beispiel habe ich auf meinen Nexus 4 das ich heute gerootet habe , Adblocker installiert, damit ich bei spielen und im allgemeinen keine Werbung mehr auf dem Handy habe.

Dann habe ich FasterGPS installiert, damit er nicht sofort weltweit nach meinen GPS signal sucht sondern erstmal in deutschland. dadurch hat mich google maps viel schneller und navigieren geht auch schneller.

Und was ich heute für mich entdeckt habe ist light flow. Damit kann ich meine benachrichtigungs LED so einstellen das wenn der Akku bei 10 Prozent landet die kleine LED Rot leuchtet. Oder wenn er am Laden ist grün Blinkt. Oder das die led weiss leuchtet wenn ich das Handy auf stumm habe. Natürlich auch standart einstellungen wie das es blau leuchtet wenn ich eine nachricht habe.

Ich hätte noch weiter beispiele, aber ohne Root wäre es nicht möglich.

Also denke daran. Root ist dein Freund
[Nexus 4 General] chemoferd:
Nach dem Rooten wirst du weiterhin OTA Updates erhalten und installieren können, dabei aber root verlieren. Um das zu vermeiden gibt es root-keeper tools (ich weiß nicht ob es schon eins für das Nexus 4 gibt). Ob du root brauchst musst du selbst wissen, wenn du keine entsprechenden Apps nutzt ist es nutzlos und kann bei unerfahrenen Benutzern eine Sicherheitslücke darstellen.

Auf dem neuesten Stand bleibst du solange du die Stock Rom verwendest (die Androidversion die bei Erhalt des Geräts installiert war).

Für die Zukunft: die XDA mods sehen fremdsprachige Posts nicht so gern, wenn du eine deutsche Androidcommunity suchst, probiers mal bei http://android-hilfe.de
[Nexus 4 General] surfalex2000:
Got it!

Oh i forgot! I´ve got my Nexus 4 on the 15.

I´ve called Google, because i wanted to know when it will arrive, and they told me that they are checking everyone, and they need confirmation if i ordered one. I said yes, and the send it to me.

Does anyone seen a nexus 4 with a bumper on it?

[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
Guys, please respect the rules. Language of the forum is English, respect that. We don't want the thread closed..
[Nexus 4 General] :
Hello,

I live in Germany. Can I buy the phone with a debit card Visa Electron, which was not issued in Germany but in another EU country. Did anyone pay with a foreign visa card?

Can I alternatively pay with a german EC Maestro card?

I hope you can help me. :)

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] :
No and no, German credit card only (if it wasn't sold out)...
[Nexus 4 General] Intruder7s:
Actually you "should" be able to do so.

Just put your home address to the billing address and you should be fine. Many others have done so.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Someone suggested before to buy a prepaid Credit Card from gas station or from website like http://www.neteller.com/

I'd suggest you do so since you still have plenty time :) This way you do not lose money on paying transition fee

[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Did anyone who has gotten a backorder mail receive any update or possibly their ordered device?
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
I was just about to ask the same question, as I read in other threads, people form US keep getting updates to their statuses and orders, and of course some of them also get their devices.

I haven't got any change in my Play Store account or wallet. Still order date 13th and the status in PS Expecting shipping 15th of November. Wallet status still pending.

This is BS guys, I tell you.

Why do US customers always have to be treated better than us?

EDIT:

I also wrote an email to Google support this morning and am still waiting for an answer. I will post it as soon as I get any information from them.
[Nexus 4 General] anchef:
Same here ...
[Nexus 4 General] No._12:
Yep, still no change in Wallet/Playstore since my order. I contacted support yesterday and kinda got the same automated text-reply as in my BO-mail;(

Ordered 09:16am, so quite fast after sale opened. Would like to see at least ANY change in my status to have a feeling that somebody is working on my order :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
For this week only, I suppose they have Thanksgiving holiday shopping season and we don't :(

Although I personally think we should receive better treatment since we pay more!!! We pay Euro!!!
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
I wouldn't be surprised if Google is sending every available device to US for the black Friday sale, even the ones from the European stock. :rolleyes:

*grabbing a tin foil hat*
[Nexus 4 General] No._12:
They should treat us like first-class customers because we pay an extra of about 100$ for every 16gb device!!! Welcome to Germany, pay more get less^^
[Nexus 4 General] bustem:
is there really no one who can answer my question, please? Does google now talk in 4.2 with german language?
[Nexus 4 General] ingbrzy:
dont cry... here in CZECH and Slovakia is not Nexus 4 on Play Store.. so his price is 450 EUR... :( our minimal sallary is 380EUR/month...
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
If you haven't noticed, most of the people in this thread didn't get their devices, so the only possibility to find it out is google it, and if we can do it, you can too.
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
I preordered the 16GB version today at Media Markt. We'll see if Google or Media Markt is faster :D

Currently I think Google is trolling me (and many others)..
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
confirmed... i'm checking the site every morning and evening.. i hate this -.-
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
hate it too...especially they took "notify me" off the site and we have no information on when it will be back in stock. i dont want to install that chrom plugin to refresh the site constantly...not that crazy about the phone :)

still hope the 2nd batch will come around soon...
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Did you have to pay directly or when you will be able to pick the device up?

What I mean is: Would it be possible to reserve one at MediaMarkt and in the (unlikely) case it would be back in stock in a few days, just cancel the MediaMarkt order?
[Nexus 4 General] TamCore:
Yes, it's possible. When you preorder at MediaMarkt you only have to pay when you pick the device up.
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
Should be... but if not you still can return the device to Google or MediaMarkt within 14 days after you bought it (or something like that)
[Nexus 4 General] n0gg:
same here...but since the preorders are not fix, i think media markt will handle it with first come first serve too...
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
I wasn't sure when these 14 days start tu run.
[Nexus 4 General] anchef:
Google obviously didn't handle it with first come first serve ;)

I'm wondering how MediaMarkt can get devices to sell even though customers of google (that already paid or confirmed a payment) are waiting for their devices ...
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
Because MediaMarkt / Saturn etc. are big company's, Ordering a lot of devices at once and paying a large amount at a time and We're only sheep's
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Has anybody seen this? We should be proud:cool: not only does one Germany guy have the N4, but he also likes to drop it to make a point.

Does anybody know if those Limbo Levels from the official thread have any sense for us in germany ?

EDIT: Now the estimated shippingdate is gone and my status is pending...
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
The same with me, status: Pending. But I also received an interesting information form CSR:

"...Please contact me at the end of the week if you still haven't received any delivery confirmation from DHL and I shall investigate the matter.

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day!

So maybe, it is coming this week or the bieginning of next one?
[Nexus 4 General] t0n:
You guys think that MediaMarkt in Austria will have the N4 as well? You guys in Germany can already preorder at MediaMarkt? Online or at the store?
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
I am sure that in Germany you can preorder Online, but maybe instore also.
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
yes, we're able to pre order the N4 in the Media Markt online shop and select a store to pick it up when it is available.
[Nexus 4 General] Alwyna:
My state has changed to pending, too..

Maybe we get those devices at the end of the week? :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 4 General] anchef:
maybe we get it before you can get it at mediamarkt ;)

Hey guys,

just to keep you all in the loop, Stefan Keuchel (Google Germany Spokesperson) posted on Google+ that the Nexus 10 devices are avaiable again, but that there is currently no new information regarding the availability of the Nexus 4. They are trying really hard to get them back in stock, but there is no set date for when this will happen.

Wrong Device but at least a step forward.
[Nexus 4 General] Chad_Petree:
On stock but with 2-3 weeks of shipment? What a joke this launch has been :/
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
Thanks for sharing!

But is this how google will notify us...through a rep's google+?
[Nexus 4 General] anchef:
I just read in a german forum that somebody got his tracking number today. Maybe/Hopefully he's not the only one ;)
[Nexus 4 General] [armitage]:
I'm sorry...I am usually not one that becomes easily impatient,or frustrated,but the whole launch experience has just been exhausting and very unproffesionell.

It is compeletly beyond me why there is no pre-ordering system.

Do they honestly expect me to check every couple of days,or hours,to make sure that I don't miss the next couple of phones they have in stock.

I do have work...I do have a life...I really would like to buy their product...but I don't want to have the feeling that I have to jump through hoops to buy something from them.

I never ever had such a terrible experience while trying to buy a product.

By now it kinda feels as if they would do me a favour by selling me their product and I don't care for that feeling one bit.

Well long story short...Hopefully it all goes a little smother when they're back in stock.
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
which forum was it?

Can you post a link?
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:

It has come so far that I would be willing to pay extra money, buy the Optimus G directly from LG and flash a Nexus ROM, just to prevent Google from getting any money from me. But unfortunately the Optimus G won't be available here soon.

I've pre ordered the N4 now from Media Markt. Even it will be at beast 3 weeks from now to get an N4, at least Media Markt is able to tell me when they plan to have the devices, which is much much more then Google is able to tell!

Edit: Oh and that PR-Manager / spokes person from Google Deutschland must be one of the best jokes of all year. Blocking people that are asking unpleasant questions and instead of posting useful information all he has to say is advertisement and reposting fun links.
[Nexus 4 General] anchef:
here it is.
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
Do you by any chance know if the guy who received his shipping mail tioday, also got the back order mail on friday?

I'm not registered on the other forum, so I cannot ask the question.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] Melissan:
This is THE german forum if you are looking for shipping confirmations etc.: http://www.android-hilfe.de/hardwar...t-status-kein-first-come-first-serve-333.html

there are new posts every few secs / mins

---------- Post added at 04:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------

However, only two ppl today got a shipping e-mail. Those are the first Conformations since last Friday, so lets see whats happening today. Last week those confirmations were sent until 10 pm.
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
I have just read like last 20 pages of android-hilfe and it looks promissing, as those people who got their shipping info have ordered right before me...like 3-4 minutes before and they were in the same situation as I am , which is: ordered on the 13th - on the 15th got the backorder email and the Play Store status changed to Pending on monday.

We'll see if anything happens tonight.

Cheers for the tip with the forum:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Melissan:
You are welcome, but i adivse you not to be such optimistic. only very few confirtmations today and the order in which our n4 are shipped seems totally random. there are some ppl who ordered at 10 am (germn time) and already got it...
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
Yeah, I am aware of the fact, that there's no logic in all those shippings, but if there's nothing else, you can always grab on to something, just to make you feel a bit better ;)
[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:
sadly i cannot wait anymore:crying: i sold my S3 for this. i guess i will buy another one tomorrow. good luck to those waiting.
[Nexus 4 General] Melissan:
My S3 is ready to be sold as soon as my n4 arrives :D
[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:
good for you. but i sold it cause price was dropping like crazy
[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:
Hey guys. One last question.

Does T-Mobile in germany sells the N4? If they do, what is the pricetag for 16gb? Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
no it doesn't
[Nexus 4 General] mariosraptor:

Yes you will receive a shippping confirmation with dhl tracking number as soon as your n4 has been shipped. However, there were a few ppl who didnt receive a confirmation and got it without any shipping confirmation. Nevertheless it seems the stock is totally empty right now and we have to wait and wait.
[Nexus 4 General] DforDesign:
Max 3 weeks from 13th? Or somethibg has changed?

They said approximately 3 weeks. In this case it can take longer than 3 weeks.
[Nexus 4 General] ptr_hamilton:
Actually they've said within 3 weeks which would mean 3 weeks maximum..
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
at the moment Google is struggling to deliver the back ordered devices in US and from my impression here in other threads they're privileged. Therefore I would not bet on this three weeks, but its just a personal impression.

Hi Guys, I'm not from Germany but plan to visit around new years eve there (staying about a week after).

Where I live this device is nowhere in sight and I'd like maybe to use this opportunity and get it while I visit there. I am not sure I'll get it off google play but the option to get it off Media Markt here http://data.mediamarkt.de/angebot/vorbestellung/nexus-lg-nexus-4?searchkategorie=1721.

Never heard of them but when reading a bit they do seem like a fairly large and well known chain.

I do have someone who lives in Berlin who can help if needed but would like your recommendation on this.

Do these guys usually meet their time estimates (15.12 according to site) because if missed by 3 weeks or so, it can be a problem ? Do they accept internationl CCs ?

Any obstacles you guys think can be in the way ?

Cheers,

David
[Nexus 4 General] Melissan:
Yeah the Media Markt stores are somewhat known in Germany and are widely spread all over the country. They can also be trusted. I advice you to go the the store itself and dont buy it online. Please note that these stores usually dont accept credit cards since those cards arent as popular as in in the us etc. maybe you can ask a store manager and convince them to accept it in your case. maybe the take a small fee for it.

Regarding their estimates i think it totally depends on google to make enough devices available here. but i doubt that they arent available two weeks after the estimate. so you are safe to go and bring 395 euro in cash as well ;)

Please note Google / LG is not granting world wide warrenty.
[Nexus 4 General] slind:
This won't be possible and I am a 100% sure of it as I've been working there. The system can't even accept those. No exception possible.
