I wonder if they'll start shipping out this week again. I find it hard to believe that only so few phones were dispatched last friday/saturay.
[Nexus 4 General] kinglargo:
I hope so, and also those that received their phone didn't warned us here.

If you look at the pattern on the spreadsheet you see that they are always 10 to 11 days before their original estimation (which is superb).
[Nexus 4 General] christoff_el:
So today I received my phone that was one of the new batch sent out on Friday.. but it's not in a proper box!! It's in some white oem style box, with NOTHING other than the phone, invoice and some brown paper (which I can only assume isn't the sort of paper you can charge the thing with..). Anyone else experienced this?
[Nexus 4 General] ComRaider:
ONLY THE PHONE !! :eek:

What about the USB charger and the adapter??
[Nexus 4 General] H0schi:
yeah, this is starange. never heard of something like until now.

some pics, maybe?
[Nexus 4 General] christoff_el:
And the nice colourful box..simtray tool..never-to-be-read quickstart guide :crying:

I'll post some later.

To me it looks like a warranty replacement by mistake. Although all the IMEI and order numbers (on phone, phone 'box', invoice) all match up, and the invoice is what I would expect (i.e. doesn't mention a warrenty replacement, or anything out of the ordinary).

Google, you buffoons.
[Nexus 4 General] ComRaider:
Contact Google inmediately. This is unacceptable.

Good Luck
[Nexus 4 General] christoff_el:
I will utilise my poor German skills to hurt their ears tomorrow. Seems like telephone (before 5pm) is the only way of dealing with such things.

Here are the snaps. If you want any high-res pictures of what really is a delightful white box, just drop me a line :D

And no, the coins weren't included (covering serial no.s etc).

Update:

Tracking status was updated monday noon, got the device today (thuesday, Jan 8th). All seems to be ok. Nexus 4 has well known glitter back.

[Nexus 4 General] xerivor:
Today my N4 arrived pure awesomeness! Haha I love it :)
[Nexus 4 General] flakinarist:
My phone arrived today, too. Unfortunately too late - so my parents got it and have to send it to the place I live now...

Hopefully it will be a "complete" box with cable, sim tool and so on. I am very excited!
[Nexus 4 General] Guto ViP:
No one?
[Nexus 4 General] Apfelschale:
Given you're Brazilian, why would you ask that in the German thead?

Right now nowhere anyway as they're currently sold out in every Playstore.
[Nexus 4 General] Guto ViP:
Because i have a friend in Germany and he will buy one Nexus 4 and 7 to me and give me on Christma... ;)
[Nexus 4 General] jaju123:
Not sure if you can get one by then. Depends when they restock and what the demand is like after that happens.
[Nexus 4 General] Apfelschale:
Ah I see,

well, right now the N4 is sold out like I said. The N7 is still available in 16 and 32GB, 3G version is sold out as well. It's up to Google when they'll get a new batch of devices, no one knows for sure though.

Retailers (Mediamarkt and Saturn) will sell them in a couple of weeks as well as far as I know, but to a higher price.
[Nexus 4 General] vrooden:
09:22 on 13.11., 16GB version

Aaah, finally I can see my tracking info!

Hint:

You have to enter the 7405... number as reference, not tracking id. This will give you the tracking info. For next queries you might copy the tracking id shown in the header on this page directly (i.e. in the "Pakete" / "Parcels" Android App).
[Nexus 4 General] Vangelis13:
To the one's that received it; is there a headset in the box?

US didn't get it, France did.
[Nexus 4 General] Martin_Ro:
No, no Earpieces. Only phone, USB cable, charger ,sim tool and paperwork.

Will get mine today. Pretty excited :)
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
Has anyone tried contacting Google to find out if it'll really take 3 weeks or if there's any chance of getting the device earlier?

I tell you guys, this is f*****g ridiculous. I would never expect such a mess from Google.
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
a new day a new disappointing day :rolleyes: nothing changes, still listed as "sold out"
[Nexus 4 General] freeintruth:
which case and screen do you use? where to buy them? could somebody reply this please? amazon has only one or two options. What do you guys use to protect your phone? thanks
[Nexus 4 General] Mash87:
I'll use a display protection foil to avoid these small scratches from dust and dirt my desire has.

I'm not a fan of wrapping the phone in covers and bumpers.
[Nexus 4 General] bj3096:
I called them this morning, they told me that new devices are arriving every few days and they send them out like "come first, serve first". Which I think is not correct, because people who ordered later already got their devices. Furthermore they won't put 10 devices on a ship, send them to Germany and do the same thing again the next day.

So your/my/our device(s) could be shipped the next days, but it COULD also take UP TO three weeks.

OT: I said he should just put a free bumper into my shipment and everything would be great, but he didn't want to promise it, said he would try what he could. Yeah, of course, I'm working in a call center myself and I know what that means :D
[Nexus 4 General] remczar69:
Thanks mate, that at least gives a little bit of a hope :)

Hopefully it won't be 3 weeks, but we'll see.

My wallet info says that i have placed my order at 12:23:22 AM UTC-8 which is 9:23 our CET time
[Nexus 4 General] Harsh:
My order is 16gb nexus 4 at 9.15 CET. Still not tracking number. So called google helpline and thry say it may delay upto 3 weeks.

How can this be? Its not first come first serve... its lucky lottery if u get device early. I know ppl who ordered at 9.26 getting their nexus today.
[Nexus 4 General] autobahnA1:
My Nexus 4 arrived two hours ago at my neighbors. Can't wait to get home!!! :cowboy:
[Nexus 4 General] bj3096:
I asked the guy on the Google helpline if they have someone who, like, checks the internet for opinions and told him that the community is going nuts and is not very pleased with how this whole thing went and is still going on, he just said "yeah, we know about that."

He was not very helpful at all, most of the time he just repeated prewritten statements like "we can't tell you exactly when your device will ship, I can't tell you something about the number of devices we had for sale on Tuesday, ..." in some robot-like voice :rolleyes:

So what will you guys do in these three weeks? Keep pressing F5 on daily basis or some other solutions? It is quite time-consuming to follow threads and refresh website.:(
[Nexus 4 General] Killuminati91:
You guys are lucky...

Last Friday - electronic data

Monday - google sends the phone

Tuesday - truck picks up the phone but doesnt deliver

Tomorrow - hopefully my god damn phone

Really strange, I got an usual package (but I also bought it at a retailer in Austria)...
[Nexus 4 General] esunny:
Received 2 numbers..

Hi Blisken,

I had the same issue, and after updating my CC, (actually there was nothing to update, I clicked on the update CC details link, which I got in the email from wallet) after that, I had 3 entries of Nexus4 in my account details. Now I have received second order too, both within a day's gap. Just wanted you to be aware of this situation so that you could take action and prevent the shipment.

I'm trying to contact Google in returning the device, but so far no luck.

Cheers!!
[Nexus 4 General] Vaxbox:
Hey guys, what's the best place for me to order? (Germany) Is there any stock anywhere?
[Nexus 4 General] Ralfi01:
Soon in germany Nexus 4 16 GB

The Nexus 4 16GB should be available in Germany approximately from 20th of January(in a Shop 30km from Enschede). The Price is 395€. There should be large numbers of Devices available. For more Information send me an PM!

Nop, it's killing especially if you look at all the shipping confirmations in the US & UK.
[Nexus 4 General] christoff_el:
Indeed. Sounds like (from what I understood) they have to send me a whole new nexus, since they have no system for just sending me the charger etc. Maybe if they didn't do such silly things there wouldn't be such a shortage of phones..
[Nexus 4 General] philidor:
but at least the phone works well?

I will NEVER EVER order from google again, writing them a message right now.

At least youre not alone with that problem anymore

Edit: Anyone got an email adress for the german playstore where I can get my REAL nexus?
[Nexus 4 General] batano:
What the hell? So my Phone came in full Retail and as i Know phone RMA's are also comeing in Full Retail so i don't think this happened by accident... did any of you get a statement from google? if not try to write ro their German PR [ press-de-external@google.com ]
[Nexus 4 General] Killuminati91:
Maybe THIS is what keeps the stock low. No accessoirs... Well i doubt it.

Thanks for the adress, contacted them. Hoping to solve this quickly, im mad as hell right now. The phone itself seems to be brand new,

couldnt find anything wrong with it that would indicate it being a RMA.
[Nexus 4 General] YetiLanguste:
Did some 6-7 weekers receive the phone?
[Nexus 4 General] superalze:
Since I read about several Austrian users trying to buy a Nexus 4 in Germany I thought I should spread the word that at the Media Markt in Innsbruck they have the 16GB version in stock. The price of 479€ is quite high, though. I assume the situation could be similar in other Media Markts in Austria. A quick phone call in advance should help you find out...

Just wanted to let interested Austrian buyers know before they get ripped off on ebay for more than 500€.
[Nexus 4 General] webwude:
I purchased my N4 at Ditech, 21st of December in Vienna for "only" 399€...

[Nexus 4 General] SGS_elko:
Did you get it? I ordered mine at Ditech too on 22nd of Dec and I had to reorder on 2nd January because of their stocktaking (Inventur)! So far no news :(
[Nexus 4 General] Killuminati91:
christoff_el when did you receive your shipping mail? And when was the phone SENT? (Not talking about electronic data)

Maybe they ran out of cables n stuff for the last few orders of the batch. Still no excuse, are monkeys working at packaging those things?
[Nexus 4 General] surma:
Got this from handyattacke.de:

My German is a little rusty but are they saying to me that Google and LG are halting manufacturing and thus they are not going to get any more batches of the phone and are now suggesting that I should just pick some other phone from their catalog? I've never been treated as bad as they have so I would like a bit more precise translation than my own.

Now I have to wait to get my money back and hope to get one before summer. :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] batano:
It says that LG isnt delivering them anymore and you should write Them if you want another thing Form there catalog for the same money Or if you want the money back you should tell Them your bankaccount numbers so they can give you back the money

[Nexus 4 General] sashebalchev:
Hey, guys, I was just informed that my Nexus has arrived in Germany. My question is now - how many days is the shipping from there to Italy using DHL? I'm so confused with the DHL site and was wondering if a good fella can help me. I'd like to know if there are ordinary and express delivery etc. and what's the cost (I found a 8.40 euro but I can't see expected time on it). Thank you! :)
[Nexus 4 General] christoff_el:
Wow, not just a one-off mistake then. I keep looking in the box for the "hahaha, only joking, he'res your charger" message..

I think your best option is to call them on 08007235105. They will sort you out with a replacement straight away (you get a link to your wallet to order a new one, which will come with a shipping label to return the first one).

To be honest, the guy didn't really sound surprised when I said it was in a little white box. He was only interested when I said there was no charger etc. Maybe if your German is better than mine you can work out whether it is a mistake or not.

Ordered: 4/12/12 18:12

Shipping mail: 4/1/13 (shipment registered with DHL at 19:00, but wasn't "processed in the parcel centre" until Monday).

Guys i wanna buy a prepaid credit card, for sure mastercard since they hate visa here in Berlin, my friend always has problems when he wants to pay with visa, they usually only take mastercard,im older than 18 years but I'm just a foreigner student here, so no chance in hell they're going to give me a regular one, have any of you used mywiredcard, netller, kalixa? Are they reliable?

I've been told that every prepaid card costs 20/30 eur a year but these three are free of charge, is it true? do they work on cyberport, amazon, saturn/media markt, google play store?
[Nexus 4 General] abufaka:
I can really advise you to get a neteller one as it is not marked as a prepaid one, its just limited to the amount charged. Also relief printed. If you do get it pls pm me your email beforehand for an invite, we would both profit :)

And it works, I can totally recommend it :)

[Nexus 4 General] Killuminati91:
Wow, thank you! I actually got an e-mail answer this morning - they'll send me a new unit and I can send back mine when I receive the package.

No need to call anymore.

I basicly had the same order-process, ordered around the same time, got the mail and was processed around the same time. This may be related

there are probably a few more people with our problem. Just not on this forum, or not bothering with it.

I checked online and it says " Under the Neteller Net+ name the company offers MasterCard prepaid debit cards and merchant-brandable card programs, and formerly offered virtual cards.[16] The Net+ virtual card generated a different virtual card number for each transaction instead of having a fixed card number, preventing some forms of fraud.

The Net+ virtual card was withdrawn by Neteller on 29 February 2012, citing lack of use by customers. "

Guess they don't sell it anymore :(

Hi everyone,

I've ordered on December 4th at 10:05 UTC-8 on Playstore with a waiting time of 5-6 weeks and have not received anything until now.

I wrote a mail to ask when they plan to deliver and got "the evening of January 16th" as reply.

But the 5-6 week span ends on january 15th....

That's so annoying, i thought they are more reliable. I asked also what consequences this will have, but they replied nothing.

[Nexus 4 General] Harry Pothead:
That rumour is - with a probability of 99% - complete bullcrap. So far, there has always been a gap of about 1 year between the release of a Nexus phone. Nexus One in January 2010, Nexus S in December 2010, Galaxy Nexus in November 2011 and the Nexus 4 in November 2012. It is way more likely that the device that LG is producing is in fact the successor of the Nexus 7, which had been released in June 2012. They probably announce it together with Android 5 (aka Key Lime Pie?) at the Google I/O in May...

[Nexus 4 General] Peter1856:

Yes the availability sucks big time but when you order and they say 5-6 weeks, you gotta expect 5-6 weeks...

In manufacturing and retailing business they in fact are a tiny fly. No own engineering, no own manufacturing, no own distribution channels, no retail presence. No nothing.

For a such tiny boutique they are actually doing pretty good.
