Did you get backordered or are you in limbo land?
[Nexus 4 General] neer2005:
I don't think they are still sending the BO email. If you didn't get it by now then your order WILL ship... According to play support that is.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Back order.
[Nexus 4 General] slowpc:
I noticed that my order also is now on the 17th ... but still shows another unit from the 13th ... yet they are linked to the same order number.

We will see... No updated tracking number or anything on my end and did get the BOEmail.
[Nexus 4 General] Tmedler:
Changed my date also. No BO no nothing. Limbo... Called yesterday and they said it was good that I haven't gotten any communication that I will get my phone by Tuesday but I'm going crazy here on xda and checking my play and wallet every couple hours. Getting my hopes up with every email...
[Nexus 4 General] dantheman_:
Ordered @ 11:42a EST. One 16GB with nothing else. I got a confirmation email within about 25 minutes. No emails at all since then. No shipping, no backorder. My order date changed to November 17, 2012. We'll see.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
lol@WILL ship.. yeah right. They been saying this BS for 3 days.
[Nexus 4 General] Monk4Life:
I was in limbo yesterday but decided to send an email to Google play asking for the status of my phone. Within 30 minutes I received a shipping notification from Google and my phone is to arrive Monday. I don't know if that was a coincidence or not though.
[Nexus 4 General] d4ft:
I've got a few orders that are on the 13th and 17th as well. I'm pretty optimistic about the ones being changed to the 17th though. If it is even being updated in the first place, there's a good chance that they have been processed I believe. I just wish that Google could at least be apologetic about it and leave something on their store's front page to let us know that they are trying their best and all. It's as if they're trying to keep this whole fiasco within the customers and them.
[Nexus 4 General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I've talked to many reps so I know to take what they say with a grain of salt but... this one today who sounded pretty confident said that no more tracking will come till Monday cause its the weekend and that if I didn't get the backordered email that I will ship on Monday no matter what my status says. He told me that they lost control of what our status's says till it says shipped but they are working on it. But yea I don't know what to believed anymore.
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
I feel really bad about all of you limbo/but really back order people. I say you stick it through and don't cancel it out of rage. There really is a bright side: Your devices will probably be better in some way. I've heard some problems about a few now. I'm guessing the second batch will be better somehow. So stick it through and soon we'll all have our flashy (pun) Nexus 4s.
[Nexus 4 General] ziggy34:
Mmmm, well I got my Back Order email, only problem, my phone had already shipped, its like 7 miles from me at UPS

[Nexus 4 General] vandizzam:
Did it occur to anyone in limbo that we are actually dead? Like 6th sense. I will test my theory by smoking crack to see if it has any effect on a dead body.
[Nexus 4 General] jmtracey:
Ordered two 16GBs. One at 11:34am est and one at 1:43pm est. Only received one back order email and rep could not even say for sure if it was for both or not so I can't tell if I'm half and half in this situation or not haha.. but both my dates in the play store have changed to the 17th as well. Hopefully there will be some good news Monday or Tuesday! :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
Some type of a statement or announcement with some useful information would make me happy. I would love just to have a better time frame than some time with in 3 weeks probably.. Surely they know when they are being shipped newly manufactored phones..

Funny, same thing happend to me. Maybe they prioritize orders for people who take the time to ask?

EDIT: though I didn't use email instead I used Google Wallet to submit the question.
[Nexus 4 General] xueJ:
Mind was moved to Nov. 17 too

I wonder how many of us have that happened, what do this mean
[Nexus 4 General] frankied22:
Mine has not changed at all. Ordered at 8:34 am PST. No emails at all from google. Wallet still says pending and estimated shipping November 15th. CC still charged.
[Nexus 4 General] fullmetal2k:
well guys, I got desperate and went ahead and got it from freaking t-mobile they charge me $499 with a stupid $30 pre-paid plan plus tax to a total of $577, my order is still

Ordered - 16GB Nexus 4, no bumper

Time - 01:21:59 PM EST

Google Play My Account Status - Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012

Google Wallet Status - Pending

Confirmation email - YES

Shipping email - NO

Back order email - YES

Location - NY

Limbo status - NO
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
I thought about this 2 days ago.. but our T-mobile store didn't have any units.. lol.
[Nexus 4 General] benderunit9000:
What good does it do to buy from tmobile? Are you just going to sell the play store n4 when it finally shows up then?
[Nexus 4 General] adamhlj:
Nov 13, 2012 8:34:19 AM PST, so 10:34 CST where I am at. I ordered the 16 GB n4 and the 32 3G n7.
[Nexus 4 General] fullmetal2k:
yeah might as well and try to get at least $500 from ebay since they are being overpriced either way, try to make my money back before google mass produces their backorders
[Nexus 4 General] x3phyr:
I got updated to Nov 17th as well... odd.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
Still not updated here.

My back hurts from too much Limbo.
[Nexus 4 General] Simer03:
People that are gonna get one on contact and then cancel... First off, before you can cancel with being able to keep the phone, you have to wait two weeks for the trial to be done, so with the phone plus canceling fee, that's over $400, already, plus minimum contract on T-Mobile with data and 500 minutes is at least $50 plus activation fee plus more taxes, you're at about $500.... you may as well get one from eBay, plus T-Mobile could easily file fraud which might cost you more

Edit: BTW this is classic plan...

And easy fellas, we have lots more than enough device thn the rest of the world so no worries keep trying :D

[Nexus 4 General] phantomevo77:

[Nexus 4 General] dorkboy69:

[Nexus 4 General] coolmaster121:

[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I'm still waiting in my email from the play store I'll let you know what they said about that update.
[Nexus 4 General] GC8Bunta:
I also have my "order date" changed to 11/17. Ordered 13th at 1pm est. I'm thinking they are doing this to distinguish their next shipment batch. IE" all orders shipped on 17th get shipped xxx day"
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
hmmm interesting
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
No changes on my end

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
Got BO email but my dates haven't changed. Still Nov. 15.

I do have a theory though. I would think Google would have another shipment of phones on the way. Why would they wait until they sold out to order more? If I'm right the next batch are in place and they will process on Monday. I'm guessing we should see even some backorders ship.

I'm basing this on the fact that Google knew they would sell out the first day. Anyone thinking they didn't know is fooling themselves. They've sold out of every release to this point.
[Nexus 4 General] hev88:
I think on mine it has changed every day just never really thought much of it
[Nexus 4 General] takgeun68:
Thats what I thought but the rep told me that there are still possibilities for some of us to receive the BO email, for google is still going through all the orders, and they still dont know exactly how many devices are available versus how many orders need to be fulfilled......
[Nexus 4 General] TwinkyOfHope:
No changes here either. Shipping estimate is still the 15th
[Nexus 4 General] takgeun68:
Mine still says 13th...I am not sure if this means good or bad...
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
At this point, after being in Limbo for 4 days after ordering minutes after release, if they back order mine I will cancel and move on.
[Nexus 4 General] takgeun68:
Exactly, I told him "so you dont play by the first come first serve rule eh?" He said yes , so I said well thats not the case here, and he said google is looking in to this and trying find a fix.......so THERE IS NO GUARANTEE AT ALL, YOU GET THE PHONE WHEN YOU GET THE TRACKING NUMBER WHETHER THAT IS NEXT WEEK OR MONTH AFTER.....
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
You can't give up now! We've been through too much

Backordered baby!
[Nexus 4 General] mi7chy:
My luck with timing. The junk is sitting at the local UPS facility 15 minutes away and even though the facility is open today I can't pick it myself until Tue which is the day after Mon scheduled delivery.
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
Lol 4 days isn't that much. ;)

I would cancel mine too if it was boed...And get the galaxy note 2 with my new contract.
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Explain how this is an issue? lol. I'd love to be in your situation.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:

[Nexus 4 General] Misfit77:
+1, still in limbo here ordered at 8:32 PST, no emails since confirmation, pending in wallet, still ordered 13th/est. ship 15th, full amount still pending on cc. I am about done with this and ready to get a note 2...
[Nexus 4 General] N!ghtgold:
Just got off the phone with Google's worthless tech support... They are telling me that now people who haven't received the back ordered emailed and tracking information yet will get their phones on Wed or Fri of next week... That is well beyond my 3-5 business days. He also stated that it will be 4 days to process orders now instead of two. He was the only rep that I talked to who actually asked for my order number and looked up whats going on. From that he stated that my order is in line waiting to get a phone attached to it so it can be shipped.... Just a heads up I was on hold for 45 min before I got a rep..
[Nexus 4 General] lyricez:
Same thing they have been saying for the last 48 hours. It's doubtful any of them actually know anything. They are pretty much trying to put people at ease, which is what they are supposed to do.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I just emailed tech support, seeing if they'll give a more detailed answer than the phone CSR's do, they've started to get pretty irritable and rude IMO... My ship date still says 11/15, but my order date changed this morning to 11/17... Wonder what that means... I ordered at 8:35 PST, this should not be happening to early orderers. The preauth on my card expired and it has not been charged since. They better refund my shipping or imma flip a *****. I'm leaving on wednesday for vacation over Thanksgiving and if I have to wait until NEXT Saturday to throw this blackberry at a wall I think I'm going to hang a puppy or something. :angel:
[Nexus 4 General] siloner:
I haven't really posted or complained myself but since I'm sitting in Nordstrom holding the fiancé's purse while she maxes out my credit card, I figured I would bent here lol.

I ordered 3 devices (2 for me and 1 for a member here who couldn't get through because of the traffic on the site) so I haven't really posted here since I would rather have the people waiting for 1 get theirs first. My orders were placed around 1pm cst - 5pm cst and have gotten a BO email. I guess my only rant is that Google sucks at this. They should have over stocked even if they weren't expecting this much demand. Right now I just feel bad for the member who sent me the money and has to wait for his phone. Although he has been patient and is willing to wait the 3 weeks, I give him props for not working my pm for updates lol

Those of you with 1 device, I hope you guys get it asap. I would be pissed too if I only had an order of 1 yet the people with multiple orders have received theirs already., good luck guys/ladies
[Nexus 4 General] mi7chy:
Whining and nagging customer support endlessly is not going to make your order come any quicker. Learn patience or cancel your order.
[Nexus 4 General] undercover:
I agree and feel for poor reps. But! You p*** off reps, they p*** off supervisors, they p*** off managers, managers p*** HQ and HQ might do something about it for the next time.

[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
I'm telling you guys in limbo land or BO local is way to go. I was BO. Canceled and looked locally. Guy got charged two so sold me his extra, Only made $50 off me. And it's worth it haha.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I looked at that route, no one in my area is willing to go under 500. I am not willing to go for that, defeats the purpose of getting this phone off contract as opposed to most other phones off contract.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
No other updates on mine still in limboland after a night of djing, but the preauth on my card has disappeared....locally not a one 16gb in sight qq.
[Nexus 4 General] mohit1234:
Mines also showing the date as 17th but shipping estimate 15th..
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Yeah we'll in that case obviously don't do it. Haha just a suggestion. I actually found it on eBay. And asked the guy to deal locally. No fees.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeha I checked eBay too lol, not one that I could find in my area, disappointing... Congrats though! looks like you got a good deal!
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
The only one in my area is an 8GB :( I'm hoping that those of us in limboland and didn't get a BO email are going to get ours next week. That's the only thing I believe of what the CSR's say, that if we didn't get a BO email, we'll have ours next week, not in 3 weeks.

I'm close to running a heist at this ups sorting facility because I don't wanna wait till Monday
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
While I'm not advocating people be belligerent, you can reach Google, Google nexus, and the play store via Google +. You won't get any answers but if you want to tell someone how you feel about this cluster, that's probably the most direct route. If I'm not mistaken, a lot of the big wigs are also on there.

And before someone jumps in with the kumbya talk or the please grow up garbage, it's well within someone's rights to let a company know that you're a customer of theirs and you're not happy with them. Social media isn't just for everything positive.
[Nexus 4 General] palmboy5:
I've been in limbo with no updates other than the receipt email ~15 minutes after my order at 8:35 AM PST. This morning though, the status got changed!

Instead of a date of November 13 and Pre-ordered, now it says this:

http://i.imgur.com/SCM88.png

Hopefully it ships right on Monday or else risk the chance that my shipment gets interrupted by Thanksgiving holiday...
[Nexus 4 General] Infinimint:
I bought mine at 10:55:07 AM UTC-8

Model: 16GB

Play Store Date: November 13, 2012

Play Store Status: Shipping estimate: November 15, 2012

Google Wallet Status: Pending

Backorder Email: Yes

I've called multiple times but they just tell me the same thing: I have to wait 3 weeks.

*sigh*
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
That's what I am hoping too. It would make some sense though, they update it to the 17th + 2 day processing. Ships out Monday, but once again could be wishful thinking.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I'm hoping this too, and it makes sense since it seems like most of us who have the date changed to the 17th ordered early. Mine is changed to the 17th from the 13th and I ordered at 8:35 PST, so maybe this is them correcting their previous neglect of FIFO and shipping the first orders monday and organizing them by "order date" which they changed to the 17th. Other people who are backordered or are being told they have to wait 3 weeks still have a 11/13 order date I think, so this is probably good news for us limbolanders with an updated 11/17 date.

Then again, the two day processing is based on business days, so by your logic it could still ship out soon but not until Tuesday or Wednesday T_T
[Nexus 4 General] x3phyr:
Thankfully I was previously briefed in this bullcrap while waiting for the One X release on AT&T. They're gonna announce it today! Oh, nope. Not till next week. OH, NOPE. GOTTA WAIT ANOTHER FEW WEEKS.

But at least when that gosh darn phone released I ordered it tuesday, got it friday.

LEARN SOMETHING, GOOGLE.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Well it still may be a good sign showing that they did something with our orders, although it could be that we are now on a back burner to the 13th orders.
[Nexus 4 General] P00t:
Dang mine haven't changed yet. Still the same.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I have to doubt that. If that is the case however, I'm going to ragequit google. That would be the exact opposite of FIFO. Since some of the people with backorder emails still say 11/13 and us in limbo that ordered early now say 11/17 I think they're going to serve us first. My theory is that anyone with an 11/13 date and no shipping email is going to have to wait, and those of us with 11/17 are getting tracking numbers early next week. That better be the case anyway.

[Nexus 4 General] xueJ:
I ordered at 4:32 EST that day, and mine changed to 17th, thats why I'm not sure what is this all about

I thought I ordered pretty late

Edit I got BO email late on 15th
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
To the people getting play updates, does your wallet have any updates?
[Nexus 4 General] smargarites:
i got the 17th play update but no update on wallet. still shows 13th. the hold was also taken off my debit card.

never got back order email.

My date changed but I did receive the back order email, so I don't know whats going on
[Nexus 4 General] tysj:
My order changed to the 17th. Ordered a 16gb at 8:32 AM PST. Still says shipping estimate on the 15th, go figure. No changes to Wallet and no charge yet on my CC after the authorization charge disappeared yesterday morning. Never got a back order email.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Huh, I guess there's no rhyme or reason to the changing orders to the 17th either. I ordered at 8:35 PST and got changed to the 17th, still pending in google wallet and a date of the 13th, and no emails of any kind from Google. I guess we can only hope for a monday ship.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
It's pretty ridiculous that only 23% (based off of my poll in this thread) of people who ordered a N4 actually had it shipped. That's absolutely terrible.

[Nexus 4 General] eliter1:
Ordered at 8:34 PST and my order still says it's expected to ship on the 15th. I can understand if Google was overwhelmed in the first and MAYBE the second day, but at this point they need to get their **** together. Start letting people know what is going on with their orders, I sent them an email. I don't expect a straight answer but I think they should know how ****ty a job they have been doing so far.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
In total I have sent them 3 emails now over the course. I did not get a single response, not even an automated one.

The lack of communication is disgusting.

Ordered 11:35am EST, Still says ordered 13th, Still says EST ship 15th, Still not a single contact or status update. Pretty impressed.
[Nexus 4 General] Sturos:
Ditto, except 5 instead of 3. The authorization charge has not dropped for a single second on my card though. In fact the date moved up to the 19th ...

Also no update to the wallet its still pending and the money in my debit card is still pending to. Im glad they fixed that issue with the play store order though cause i was worried id get 2 bumpers even though they have me charged for the phone and a bumper...
