As for me, I am ALL DONE with Google period. I just went out and spent the money I was going to buy the Nexus 4 with and bought a factory unlocked IPhone 5. This was the worst launch of any product I have ever seen in my life.

I am also a self employed business person and if I would have promoted a product the way these idiots at Google have for the last three weeks and could not deliver on game day, I would be OUT OF BUSINESS period.

I wasted two hours of my valuable time trying to get a lousy phone from one of the worlds largest companies, NEVER AGAIN. Once I can get through to the Google play store, I am cancelling my account.

Why my apple fan boy alarm went off after reading this thread?

Giving the fact Qualcomm was and is struggling in making quadcore kraits it probably affects manufacturing proccess.less nexuses made by lg equals less being avavible and therefore fast sell out.also its the best bang for money.why shouldnt average joe want it?tons of features for less than half of fruit phones price
[Nexus 4 General] reuthermonkey:
With the worldwide traffic Google Play sees, the real joke is that anyone would believe that.
[Nexus 4 General] josephnero:
Goodbye.google will surely miss you.:p let the door hit on the way out.i hope big G wont go bankrupt after you leave
[Nexus 4 General] anirudh412:
The only people to be blamed for that is Google themselves. Such a shabby way to manage a product launch! If they decided not to let customers pre-order, at least prepare for such overloads come release day. No notification emails sent out, no intimation of time when the product page will go live, no nothing! So they expected everyone to cancel all our work, and keep mashing refresh all day on the 13th? Buying a product is supposed to leave you happy, not leave you with a headache
[Nexus 4 General] crownua6:
Google Play has recently changed their status "coming soon" to "Sold out, we are out of inventory. Please check back soon." Ain't that a *****?!

Google should have more respect for those whake up to work

What's the point of selling faster than IP5, if many users are disappointed with what happened today?

No offense to anyone, but today it seemed like a bunch of puppies trying to get a bone thrown by google as fast as they could.

Google should be more professional and have more respect for those who have to wake up to work and can't be at 8.00AM doing F5 on their site.

Google was sloppy on there release...
[Nexus 4 General] DjeMBeY:
MEDIA related benefits?? Load of people talked about it but now even more get's involved... (Mixed opinions...) or

GOOGLE/LG have technical problem with Nexus 4?? Maybe it's Hardware/Software related issue and by making this "SOLD OUT in minutes!!" fuzz they buying more time to make it work as it should?? Releasing just a little "first" stock will explain it... (LockScreen Widgets wasn't working till just few days ago so maybe there is much more to come...) :( Who (Google) knows.....
[Nexus 4 General] th3b3:
I luckily got one at 12:30pmEST from refreshing for like 40mins....I had to order the bumper separate which was sold out as well...I finally got to order the bumper then had to pay seperate shipping. I called googles customer service and waited on hold for 20mins I tried to get the csr to refund the shipping for the bumper. He couldnt, he then said he would try to file a refund and he would email it to me. While on the phone he was saying how he had to have me hold because HIS system was locking out due to the server load. It could all just be hype but they were definitely having server issues even internally!
[Nexus 4 General] imitenotbecrazy:
I still have customers that have not gotten their phone from the initial i5 launch and preordered the day they were allowed to. My best buy got 10 phones in for launch haha sure I'm mad that I couldn't get my nexus today (money comes in at midnight tonight! damnit!) but I'm in no way as hurt as walking into a major retailer almost two months after a phone is launched and being laughed at because I asked to buy a phone (I do this to iphone 5 customers)
[Nexus 4 General] Docavelli:
Did you guys expect any better? It seems like this is the thing. The Nexus release was crappy. And do you remember the GS3 release? It was a total cluster.
[Nexus 4 General] wreckone:
Yes brisk sales is good for Google. The knock about LTE only really carries weight in the U.S. ... The price point makes it a great deal on a unlock smartphone at least where available in countries with access to Google play
[Nexus 4 General] Yuvin:
Sigh. Sucks for us who couldn't get it in time. Anyone know when Google will refill their stock?
[Nexus 4 General] kindiboy:
If it's speculations....I don't believe it's a marketing stunt... Google has no understanding of human interaction, they failed to deliver the quantity somehow. My guess is LG couldn't deliver the amount of units Google ordered, Google didn't want to launch only in one country so they split the 3 units they got around different territories, conclusion a lot off pissed of Android heads, and prospective customers. I don't care how people try to spin it on this thread the launch failed.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Definitely. I'm glad I got one, but I have no intention of getting a Nexus on drop day in the future. This was a fantastic cluster ****
[Nexus 4 General] arby80:
I also think the Asus 7 fiasco had something to do with this. I bet these other companies will be able to meet demand in a reasonable time frame.

That's amazing seeing as there's is NO FACTORY UNLOCKED iPhone 5 and pleaaaaaase ....

I was outside the ONLY T-Mobile store in NYC that was selling the GS3 on release day and they only had like 19 units available ... Seems common practice now days.... AND to all those ppl praising how amazing apple is on release days PLEASE go to the apple store now and try to buy one ( 2 to 3 weeks ) AND that phone has been on the market for months by now PLEASE ppl PLEASE

[Nexus 4 General] Nutsonfire:
I like it how some people think that it's a failure when a company sells out and cannot meet demand. To me if I sell out of a product my sale was a success.

Stop being bitter and coming up with conspiracy theories. Google is not Apple, they are not in the business of making money from hardware, they just do it to make the Android ecosystem evolve. It's the partners business to cover the market hardware wise.

Do you think they are suddenly going to invest 10 billions on hardware all at once?
[Nexus 4 General] NardVa:
Google lost so much money today. People had the itch to get a new phone and Google didn't deliver.
[Nexus 4 General] Marilius:
To those who suggested it, I sincerely doubt this was a PR stunt. Google is a corporation. They are in business to make money. It would make no logical sense to limit release numbers, or refuse to manufacture additional devices. This and many other tech companies regularly underestimate expected demand for a new product, and yes, it's very frustrating. But if you'll recall, none of the previous Nexus devices have been huge sellers. This one probably just caught Google off guard. I completely sympathize, but I really doubt that Google had anything nefarious in mind.

[Nexus 4 General] Orion575:

[Nexus 4 General] :
that was my friend's response when I was complaining to him about N4 launch today

he also said he's still waiting for his iphone 5 to come in, which he pre-ordered within a couple days of the beginning of pre-orders. And he said that the apple website has been just as much of a mess during launch, in some cases going completely offline from traffic, especially on some of their previous iphone launches.

I think everyone should take the ranting and flaming down a notch though, especially people complaining about leaving work or staying up all night to order it, it was your choice to do so, there was never any guarantee of the results. There was never an official release time, and in my opinion I think the fact that the launch was unpredictable made the experience more interesting. Also, in most cases, such as mine, those dedicated enough got the phone. I was there pressing refresh and cycling between 8 and 16 gb for hours, I didn't even use auto refresh. I also missed the order twice as the item disappered from my cart as i was purchasing. While it was somewhat frustrating at first, eventually i realized that HEY IT'S JUST A PHONE and honestly how much will your life change if you get the phone 2 weeks from now. Come on people! we're not iSHEEP! (PS: don't buy those dumb overpriced phones on ebay or crigslist/kijiji)

I agree that it was disappointing that the play store was full of errors, I wasn't expecting that from Google, but if there were no errors then the phones would have probably sold out even faster! So in the end, I think the errors and buggyness probably increased the chances for those waiting for 9 AM PST.

That said, there is obviously some reasonable explanation for the quick sell out and eventually it will come to light. And I'm sure the restocking will happen as soon as possible, as obviously the sooner they come back on sale the more N4's will be sold.
[Nexus 4 General] USSENTERNCC1701E:
Google hasn't been pushing this phone. They had one canceled press event, and a commercial that barely even showed it. People have been hyped about this since before it was official because we nerds push it and tease ourselves. Google can't control how much we push something they kept low key.

And why would you be out of business if you sold your entire stock?
[Nexus 4 General] MXRaceR141:
We'll never know the truth, but Google is pretty straight forward and don't beat around the bush. They still have larger tablets in stock, last I saw, so who knows. Maybe they just sold 100x more phones than they did Nexus 10's today. Or maybe, LG couldn't produce due to manufacturer limitations (inability to get the krait processors in the quantity needed). Or maybe, it is a big fat PR stunt and they only released 15 phones in the US, in which case, hell yea, I'm one of 15 people to get a Nexus 4. Regardless, more are soon to come, and I guarantee you'll get your Nexus 4 quicker than if you go buy yourself a proprietary, outdated, dual core iPhone 5 right now. And, anyone with half of a brain knows that if you go with an iPhone 5, you won't be doing any modding and kernal hacking near like what you can do on a Nexus ;)

Enjoy the fact its half the price, refrain from nerd raging long enough for them to come out with more stock and successfully blow your mind.
[Nexus 4 General] secretasianman:
I don't think Google and LG anticipated the demand for the Nexus 4. Past Nexus phone sales weren't sellouts so I doubt either company really wanted to chance manufacturing a crap load and being stuck with the inventory.

Some of the comments are down right childish.
[Nexus 4 General] gimiento:
Haha. The worst launch ever was last years Nexus. What a disaster. This year has been pretty good IMHO. I see Google as finally starting to get their **** together.
[Nexus 4 General] rob ben:
Bad plan to piss off fanboys (me) who stayed up all night to get one and then got screwed in checkout. Google reward the fan boys seriously, treat me like crap and I might as well go to apple
[Nexus 4 General] thebobp:
I know y'all are angry, but saying this had to be a conspiracy against you is just silly. There is evidence both of internal and external server overload; it's pretty clear they hadn't anticipated the demand - and this is plausible considering that even the GN only sold modestly.

A preorder process might've helped slightly, but it would've led to the same people F5'ing at the preorder time, and possibly even more anger as demand is not met quickly enough. It would not have solved the underlying problem.
[Nexus 4 General] 338lm:
This is misleading... you should say YES, but they had less at launch.

It sold out less units (most likely) FASTER than any iPhone
[Nexus 4 General] EvoYas:
To the people who keeps quoting about what I said when Ientioned a US launch should have been first. Its because I would obvioualy care for us first, I am an American so I would want me to have it (thang God my order went thru anyways)its not like I have something against other people.

Rest of the world gets almost every high end phi e before us so it should be fine if for one thwy were the last to gt this. But whatever, whats done is done. Lets see what happens next year. Also the reason why unlocked phones are the only ones I buy because I do travel outside of US fo work a few times a year. So dont get too personal on that.
[Nexus 4 General] nikufellow:
Exactly !
[Nexus 4 General] pinkman1:
i wish google restock them already.
[Nexus 4 General] Mesho Arc:
I'm certain it's Google's fault not providing enough units at launch
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
I hate all of you for buying up all of the Nexuses and not leaving a single device for me. I had a long day yesterday and figured that there would be some left, after work I checked and to my surprised they were out of stock. ;(
[Nexus 4 General] DroidDavi:
I'm sure they had no where near the amount of iPhone apple has at launch. I'm sire there in over drive trying to meet the demand
[Nexus 4 General] xdafann:
Did the galaxy nexus have the best specs of its time ? Did it have such a killer price praised everywhere on the tech sites ?

I'm sorry but one must be an idiot not to predict this phone is going to sell A LOT.

This is obviously y planned and that message on Google + is also a part of the plan "Ohhh look we didn't expect it the phone sold so much ".

Pfft. Fortunately I didn't lose much time waiting but I am deeply disappointed .
[Nexus 4 General] SIGUEL:
Yeah go and try to buy an Unlocked IP5 (doesnt exist yet). Prepare to wait 2-3 weeks for it if you buy it from a Carrier.

Google never expected this kind of reaction. I'm sure they will restock with millions Nexus⁴ next time.

I find it hilarious how so many people are like, "waaahhh, I am an adult and a BUSINESS person... I am so important and have so much going on in my life, I can't afford to sit on the computer clicking refresh!!! waaaahhhh, screw you goooooogle".......

Who told you to try and buy the phone the instant it was available? Would it kill you to wait a week? I am looking forward to this phone like crazy, and on launch day I went to google play, saw the 16 gb was already sold out, had an 8 gb in my cart and was about to pay for it, when I thought to myself... I would much rather have the 16 gb, I will just wait a couple of weeks"
[Nexus 4 General] jasonwc:
Do they sell unlocked iPhones in the US? The Apple site only shows the $200 contract price. If I convert the price in pounds to USD, it comes to $673. That's more than double the price of the 16 GB Nexus 4.

EDIT: It appears they do, or plan to: $650 for the 16 GB model - http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57544963-37/unlocked-iphone-5-prices-leak-on-apples-site/

[Nexus 4 General] shahabk818:
I think their stock was very low although I think nexus 4 would sell more than iphone 5... I think Google had to put the phone for pre order one month before the release date I didn't expect such poor stock from Google. The market is very busy right now they could have sell so many more phones over yesterday and today but they just didn't!
[Nexus 4 General] Jack Barrett:
I knew there is a catch. You must be refreshing every second to get n4 at that price. Wohoo who is the next winner of the lottery? I sold my s3 3 weeks ago. I cant even type on this old sony **** and after all complications to send money to uk + more for extra deliveries, been waitin 3 ****en weeks.and this is what google serves me with.

Hey guys, I just rooted my S3 and I was looking forward to installing the CM10, but when I several errors while doing so. First of the error was when I tried to factory reset using CWM, it skipped a certain step; iirc it had something to do with mounting. The other error was when I wanted to install CM10. There was an error saying something aboutassets and that the installation was aborted. Am I missing anything?

Also, I started using Android a few months ago so I may not be familiar with some terms. Thanks guys!

I will post the exact error when I get to try again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] dudds4:
I have a very similar problem. CWMRecovery just doesn't seem to click for my device (SGH-T999v). My recommendation is to re-install recovery.

Two easy ways to do this that I can think of: #2 is easier I think, but most people use CWM, so whatever u want.

1. a) Sticking with CWM. Get an app called Mobile Odin Lite here. Install that on your phone.

b) Download the latest version of CWMRecovery FOR YOUR PHONE from their site here. (I copied the link for SGH-T999 for you here.)

c) Put the file on your device, open up Mobile Odin Lite, select the recovery.img in the appropriate spot, and go ahead and flash it to your phone

2. Install TWRP instead. Go over to the play store and install GooManager. You can use it to install TWRP touch recovery (and do a bunch of other stuff).

Now if you haven't made a backup already, DO SO NOW. Boot into recovery, select backup, and make that hang.

Now, it sounds like your getting a status 7 error. This is often a problem with old versions of CWM, so hopefully now this isn't a problem. Go ahead and try to flash your ROM. If you continue to get the error, here's how to fix it, just be cautious.

What's happening is the script that is being run to flash the ROM is checking if your device is the exact build that the ROM was intended for. The following is how to skip this check, SO BE 100% SURE THE ROM YOU HAVE IS FOR THE PHONE YOU HAVE. Check in your phone /system/build.prop that ro.product.device = d2tmo (or d2can if your canadian on WIND Mobile). Check t

a) Open up the zip file your trying to flash on your computer.

b) Navigate to /META-INF/com/google/android/, open up updater-script.

c) Take out the first line, it should say " assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2tmo" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2tmo"); " If it says d2 something else, than this ROM is not for your device. stop here and get CM10 from here.

d) Save the changes, make sure the changes are saved in the file in the .zip.

e) Flash the ROM. You won't get the error, since it's not going to check for your build.

Remember, do this with the wrong ROM and you just soft-bricked your device.

Good Luck, I hope this was helpful
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sprayerftw:
Thank you so much! It turns out that my CWM was not updated, and I think that caused the problem. I updated it and it seemed to work fine.

[General Questions and Answers] Roflwat:
Hey everyone, I need some help here.

A friend of mine bought a Galaxy S II about 5 days ago.

Her problem is that her battery lasts for like half a day. The only thing she has turned on is mobile network (3g). No wifi, no bluetooth or anything else. She has installed several applications, but nothing too extreme.

What could be the reason? And how is this solvable?

I was thinking of calibrating the battery, and if the problem persists, take it to replace.

The main problem is that it is not sure whether they are going to replace it, since when she was looking to buy it, she could barely find it, and the one shop that had it said that it was the last one they had on stock. They all said that Samsung had stopped producing models and, thus, they had none left.
[General Questions and Answers] slash_1987:
this may not be a problem of faulty battery in the first place. try changing few things (lowering the brightness, switching off all the radios when not in use etc) and see if that improves the battery life. if it doesn't, then approach the service center, they will get it replaced. hope it helps :)
[General Questions and Answers] Roflwat:
If it is actually a hardware problem, will it be a battery problem? Or a problem with the device itself?
[General Questions and Answers] Darkman22:
Could be some rogue apps. GO Launcher and GO Locker can cause this if not set up properly. Coupled with with poor internet coverage if your 3g is poor, can cause the phone to continuously fail at synching and not preventing it to sleep well.

Uninstall programs you suspect are causing your phone to turn on periodically or check the battery power usage in settings to see which apps are draining the battery the most.

If still troublesome install Better Battery Stats from the forum which can give you more detail as to the cause of battery drain.
