I'm also still on Limbo 2

I'm also a Limbo Level 2 without a shipping e-mail.

Ordered 11:54 EST, got confirmation e-mail, didn't get a bo e-mail, got just 1 change date from Nov. 13th to Nov. 19th.

I've called 3 times already with irrelevante answers and follow-ups. Another weird thing that happened to me is that without calling today I got this e-mail from CS 2 hours ago:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting us. If you ordered on 11/13 and you did not receive a backorder notification email, your order is scheduled to arrive today. If you haven't already received a shipping confirmation email that contains the tracking number, you should receive one by end of day today. However, please note that it can take up to 1 business day for the tracking number to be activated. Rest assured that once you receive your ship confirmation email with your tracking number, it is in the process of shipping for an estimated arrival of Tuesday, Nov. 20.

If you have any further questions, please respond to this email and I'll be more than happy to help.

Colors on this phone with Franco kernel really pop!!
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
Wow! So the Nexus 4 bumper has a stainless steel frame, pretty cool. $20 seemed unreasonable but knowing its not just all rubber its worth it. Here's a video of it:

I guess limbo level 2

Play store says pending now. I thought it said shipped lol
[Nexus 4 General] BravoMotorola:
That's ridiculous. Sorry man. It'll come soon enough though, and chances are they'll have some hardware problems fixed. Plus the downside for me was I rushed to get it so I'm stuck with an 8gb model, which actually sucks.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Ooo my play store says "pending" instead of estimated shipping Nov 15th.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
The changes are in green, what is red is removed, can someone explain what pending means to this? Google wallet is still pending as well. Hoping this means they sent our orders to be packaged tonight!
[Nexus 4 General] Nocturnal86:
Ooooh Mine says pending now that i check on it! It was the 15th before i called and got all that ^^^ Im hoping that means there sending mine tonight!
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
I got basically the same email, without the back order part. She said she checked mine and I am supposed to receive tracking tonight, so pending may mean we may ship tonight!

Oh by the way here is another bumper video with it on the phone. http://youtu.be/lvuFn_fbUBo
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Bumper looks nice, not worth 20 bucks imo though
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
No, once they come back in stock for awhile though you could probably find one on ebay for cheaper.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Yea I can go naked for a month and then get one on eBay way cheaper
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
That is my plan as well
[Nexus 4 General] Dr. Bocephus:
order placed Order Date: November 13, 2012 9:01:12 AM UTC-8

I received a confirm email, but no other emails from them.

Then my pending charge got pulled off my cc and they updated play to order date of 19th and est shipping of 15th.

Now, the pending charges are back on my CC and i still have an order date of the 19th and status says pending. instead of the est shipping date.

No idea what any of that means, and after talking to G support twice today i don't think they do either.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Anyone figure out what the change to pending means?
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Nope. I'm still hopeful that it means they sent out orders to the shipping facility. However it could just mean shut up and stop calling us. But hey you never know we may get lucky.
[Nexus 4 General] BiDuSoft:
The guys in the review said that the bumper was made in Korea so that's probably the reason why it is so expensive.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Hopefully they are shipping tonight
[Nexus 4 General] fullmetal2k:
well just cancel my order and google wallet updated so fast that my head is still spinning lol, I hope that everyone here will get their phones asap, had fun following this thread from day one and wish you the best
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Hopefully but if not its not the end of the world. Just ordered screen protectors for the front and back, apparently the glass is easily scratched, like 6 bucks on amazon.
[Nexus 4 General] Infinimint:
The same exact thing just happened to me. I wonder what it could mean.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Can you post a link for those?
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A1X2MTI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

It says something about the iPhone in the description, dunno it says compatible with nexus 4 and in the picture its a perfect fit. I may just use one of the front ones for the back, haven't decided yet.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Hmm that's not bad
[Nexus 4 General] Ace42:
You can't due to the back having the camera and microphone .
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Holy crap. Mine says pending too. First change on the play account since I ordered.
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
With a razor blade I can do anything :D
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I thought it said it was full-body? Meaning front and back. Or did I read it wrong?

Edit: Nvm I was looking at this one http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechSkin-Protector-Protective-Lifetime/dp/B009W6C4FW/ref=pd_cp_cps_2
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Actually it may be worth it to spend the extra money and just get a full body one instead of modifying the other one
[Nexus 4 General] sizzlefire:
Wow, I'm surprised. Mine shipped last night at 8:30PM and was already here this morning at 10:30AM. Sucks I had to go to work all day and didn't get to play with it till I got home :( Having fun now though.

Wish I could have gotten one. Can't complain too much since I did get the phone today, but I must have tried 80+ times to order a bumper before they went out of stock and had no luck with cart failures.
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Everyone must be hitting f5 on their play account. This party has died.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Ahhhh a Mainer got their phone!!! What is this madness? How is she?
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
haha! Good good, I honestly haven't had a lot of time to play with it yet (sad I know). UPS didn't come until 5 and I had to go help someone with a car repair and just got home about 30m ago :(.

So far so good! No rattling, no buzzing, no yellow tint. The camera does leave a purple orb near lights but I'm sure that will get fixed in time (maybe even a setting)

Speaker is nice and loud! Call quality is amazing. Might be the best I have heard, more time to tell, but initial test is very positive.

Data speed out of the box for AT&T didn't work right for me so I changed the APN to PTA and it works great now. With stock APN I was getting 10-30kbps speed tests with 600+ latency.

Screen is fantastic. I think I still like the Lumia screen a little better but I will need time (hopefully tomorrow) to actually sit down and compare side by side. That aside, the screen is nice and bright, colors are great. I need to do a sun test tomorrow too. No dead pixels or any such badness.

Phone is super smooth, no laggyness or choppiness that I can find yet. Everything works great.

Build quality feels wonderful, I was nervous about this being LG and all but I was pleasantly surprised at how well built it does feel. Very solid and aesthetically pleasing. The back is SUPER slippery, I had even read it before and didn't realize just how slippery it is!

Too early to rate battery life or anything like that.

Hope you get a tracking number tonight! I see you have new status at least, progress! Any word on what pending means yet?
[Nexus 4 General] Pyroshane:
How many people are back ordered but have a status of complete? I have no "Pending" and no option to cancel. I have decided that it means Google thinks I already have my phone. :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Just a lowly pending person here.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Thanks for the feedback, sounds like a great phone! I actually hope I don't get one tonight because I'm leaving to go home tomorrow until Sunday. I don't want to leave it sitting on the porch all weekend. We shall see though. Nothing better than Limbo Land stage 3! :eek:

My google playstore says 13th nov booked. Wallet had est 15th november shipping date and today it changed to pending.

I had received a bo mail.
[Nexus 4 General] phatpaw:
I walked into a T-Mobile store at lunch and they had just received two whole phones. :). I snagged one. Liking a lot so far, although missing some nice CM10 features. Oh well.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Got my phone today... Giant cluster of dead pixels about 1 inch from the top of screen... :( Not GIANT per se, but incredibly noticeable. It's either dirt or a small cluster of dead pixels, can't tell, but I have to send it back. Good news is, they let you keep using the device until you get a new one, then you send it back. So I guess I'm still luckier than others.
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
Sucks man. At least you got yours.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
Yeah. I was ready to be done with my old blackberry :S
[Nexus 4 General] abo.saud:
I got the phone and the bank remove the auth yesterday and Google didn't charge me why is that?

In Google wallet it say I've been charged.
[Nexus 4 General] InvalidUsername:
Same. If Google doesn't want the money, I'm not complaining :D
[Nexus 4 General] abo.saud:
the problem is my debit card is in another currency when they charge again the exchange rate might be higher and they wont be able to charge because the card has nothing other than what they refund me I guess I have to deposit some money in the card.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
2 whole phone!! Intense lol
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
Can't believe limbo land still exist. Google owes you guys a hug.

And when you get your hug they also give you a bumper or something lol
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Trust me, I just sent them an email about it. Basically said I would never buy another google product ever again unless I get some sort of reimbursement other than the shipping :beer:
[Nexus 4 General] Richieboy67:
I doubt they care. I would be happy with a real apology even and some real reasons. I would really like to know this will not happen again otherwise this will be my last Google device.

I do appreciate the great price but not if I have to pay on other ways.

[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
I agree 100%
[Nexus 4 General] Catchpen:
If its sort of brown in color I hear that this problem is some type of stain from adhesive "fumes" that will go away after time but I would def. still get an exchange. I'm curious how long an exchange would take with limited stock. :(
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Guys don't believe the hype... There is no issues with this phone. Makes me really not respect review sites who were reaching to find issues with this perfect device.

I would NOT wait to by a 3rd party bumper.. Get Google's. It's premium, metal and a harder foam/rubber type of material that feels like the bumper was made for the phone.. Like supposed to actually be a part of the phone.

Also. I'm using the film protection that came on the phone and it is solid and is a screen protector of its own. It's not easily scratched prone like these over exaggerated claims these trolls make online. However leave the one that ships on it. It's far better quality than any other OEM protector that ships is.

Battery life is the best. Full day of heavy use. GPS locks in under 5 seconds and is precise. Charges very fast also. No reboots or lag either. Screen is not yellow tinted as the trolls say and it's Niiiiice. Data is blazing on Tmobile. I got a minimum of 9mbps down with a maximum of 23mbps earlier... Upload is like 1.3mbps to 3mbps. Keep in mind I live in the woods.. So if I hit the city it'd be a million times better. Couldn't be happier.

Besides Google's slip up with orders it's worth the wait.

I think people just look for negative things
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Thanks for the review :) now I really want to be out of limbo land!
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
Yea that's what I figured. For every 1 bad review on a product there's a thousand other people that are totally happy with it, but u don't hear from them, just the unhappy guy. I'm pretty confident ill be totally satisfied when I finally get my N4 from backorder sometime in 2015
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Wooo 2015!
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
I agree. But I'd say the battery is an issue from what I've read. It's not awful. But could be better. But that's what devs are for right? Google can't do it all. ( obviously) lol
[Nexus 4 General] aphlipot:
Yeah pretty much. I'm getting tired of all the CSRs not knowing what's going on. I got an email yesterday saying my device was set to ship last night , but it also said it has an estimated delivery date of yesterday. So I called for clarification, the guy told me I would receive tracking information last night. Then I got an email st around 0430 this morning saying I would receive my phone within the 3 week timeline. :mad: The least they could do is get their stories straight.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Joshy thanks for coming back and supporting us LL3s
[Nexus 4 General] joshyy_rey:
:beer::thumbup::rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Can't agree there. Unless you're using your phone to watch movies and play games then it'll last. I haven't put it down once and only charged it one time since receiving this phone yesterday afternoon. I have watched Transformers and National Geographic and GPS to drop my kids across town to the airport, been on twitter, g+ and Facebook and xda non stop and I'm at 20% right now.
[Nexus 4 General] wcdude18:
If I'm reading this correctly, you're using the shipping film that came on the phone as a screen protector? Calling that "far better quality than any other OEM protector" is absurd. It's just a thin film designed to keep dust off the device during packaging/shipping. NOT protect from scratches and/or drops.

I've used ZAGG InvisiShields on my past few devices (iPhone, Galaxy S) and LOVE them. They do an amazing job of keeping scratches off the phone, and I really like the slightly "rubberized" feel they provide - gives the phone a little more grip, which was very helpful with the first-gen iPhone I had for a while. I ordered one for the Nexus 4 yesterday as soon as I got it out of the box after feeling how slick the phone can be.

I agree with the rest of your review, though. Great phone. Loving it so far.

But please, dude, don't use that film as a protector.
[Nexus 4 General] blaine.hale:
Hi, I'm Blaine and I'm a Limbo Level 3 victim.

Heh, I guess the LL3 thread was closed. I don't really have anything to add to conversation here other than my details.

I ordered at 2:21pm EST November 13 2013 and received the back ordered email like so many others.

My order has changed to "pending".....just like so many others. I don't really care, I'll wait. I have the HTC one X which is honestly just as good (maybe not on paper) and more durable.

I primarily just wanted a stock experience and wanted a massive dev community and I also wanted to say FFFFUUUUU to carriers, so I bought the Nexus 4.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say we'll get shipping confirmations some time next week. That's just my wild guess, though.

I was part of the Nexus 7 debauchery as well. Why do I keep coming back to you google!? Oh wait, I know why...because they aren't tied to a carrier that delays all updates by 6+ months and they don't lock down bootloaders and withhold source.
[Nexus 4 General] kwabby:
I agree with the above, this is a good phone, I love it, anyone waiting be patient and it will be worth it, no problem with the device at all.

I still have the screen protector on it, I thought I was the only dumb person doing that, I need to order the bumper when it comes available.

Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] nash2000:
I don't understand how this purchase works. I'm on Google play, I see the phone but all its ever said was "coming soon" does it say this because its out of stock (should say out of stock) and why wasnt I notified when it was released...I put my email in.
[Nexus 4 General] iPathik:
OMG! Just got the email! i got a Nexus 4 16GB! :D
[Nexus 4 General] craighwk:
Just saw 16GB models become IN STOCK for a minute or so but now it's back to COMING SOON.

Keep refreshing the page throughout the day, this will probably happen often as orders don't go through and phones become available again
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
so are they seriously out of stock or are we just waiting for "add to cart" to pop back up?
[Nexus 4 General] :
i love all the dip****s with 10 posts on here who got one ordered... by far my worst google experience ever.

Did anyone else look at the confirmation email, it says Delivered in 3-5 business however I was charged for 2 day shipping lol. Also says won't be charged till it ships I was charged but didn't get a tracking number looks like I will go get my shipping refunded as well.
[Nexus 4 General] ctowne:
Its been half an hour since my order and I haven't got an email yet.. Anyone else in the same boat? When I go to my google wallet transaction info it says they sent the email. Guess I just have to be patient?

Anyone who received their phone this week get charged on their CC? Mine dropped off on Monday and it doesn't look like they've charged it again even though Wallet says they did.
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
If Facebook did "fix" it. Google would just block it again like they did in Gingerbread.
[Nexus 4 General] abo.saud:
same, maybe they will charge us today or tomorrow at most
[Nexus 4 General] vollmilch:
sorry, i was wrong ;)
[Nexus 4 General] BigAtrain:
I wouldn't get too excited. They will likely charge you soon.
[Nexus 4 General] ceroglu:
How warm is your device? I installed system tuner to check on the temps and looks like they are a little high. On regular use the temps are around 45-50C and while it is charging it gets up to 60C. What is your temps on your device?
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I finally got charged today for the phone, for those of you asking.

Also, does anyone know if they are going to refund shipping to us prior limboers who got our devices yesterday? I have a feeling they won't, because instead they upgraded us to next day air (which is totally fine with me, I think that's fair enough) but I keep hearing about refunded shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] jmejiaa:
Probably not, you got it within the time frame they said.
[Nexus 4 General] MusicMan374:
I guess you're right, it was within 5 business days. Wed-Thur-Fri-Mon-Tue
[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
Nope. They never charged mine either and I have my phone.. Authorization hold dropped off Sunday night. Wallet says they did. I called Support to ask and they said Google did charge me. I'm going to hold the money for 14 days before I decide to spend it. After 14 days i would think it's safe to safe they are not charging it. But i think they'll do it like Saturday or next week.
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
How long have you had the phone, I got mine yesterday, charged it up to 100 then took if off the charger, and 3 hrs later i had lost 20 percent with no use lol...I know battery life is a very fluid thing, but 20 percent with little to no use in 3 hrs is way too much drain even if it is the first charge cycle, found out theres a wakelock thats specific to N4 relating to the radio which is present, thats keeping the phone awake more then it should. Not really sure how to work around that.
[Nexus 4 General] crawlgsx:
I got mine yesterday at 5pm, didnt have time to charge it unboxed it on the go in the car. Did all setup/downloaded all my apps, played with it a bunch and when I got home late last night it had only gone down 15% with all that usage.

I would say you had something stuck running or a bug.

My only complaint with the phone so far is signal loss. I get consistently lower signal than the last few phones I have owned at my house, and if you hold the N4 in certain ways the signal drops to 1 bar or sometimes even loses signal. Early to tell but it appears to have a similar issue to the iPhone 4 with antenna :(
[Nexus 4 General] djkinetic:
Can't be something stuck, I would have seen something in BBB and GSam, I'm not the only one experiencing issues with the wakelock it happens on both rooted and non rooted phones, prolly gonna go back to stock and see if it still persists.
