Processor and memory:
- 8 GB or 16 GB (actual formatted capacity will be less) / 2 GB RAM / Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro APQ8064 CPU (Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait and Adreno 320 GPU)
Features:
- Android OS, v4.2 (Jelly Bean), upgradable to v4.2.2 (Jelly Bean) / Non-removable Li-Po 2100 mAh battery / Accelerometer / GPS with A-GPS support and GLONASS / Gyroscope / Barometer / Noise cancellation microphone / Ambient light / Compass
Clarification for people who are confused.. recommended retail price (RRP) of a product is the price which the manufacturer recommends that the retailer sell the product.. LG the manufacturer has set a RRP much higher (£400+) than the Google Play (the retailer in this case) prices..
Note: the handset utilises a micro-sim card!

You are a salesmans dream - DFS await your visit to see all of their "deals".
In the meantime, those of us on this site who understand the dictionary definition of a deal (e.g. A bargain) shall carry on with our day.

Definitely cold if you've received a faulty unit. Every other manufacturer has 0% failure rate, this is a shocking failure.....

For anyone wondering why you have been charged for the device but it has not shipped il explain.
You bought the phone from Google for £288
The £288 is charged to your payment card and google would have received an authorization code from your bank. This allows them to request the money from your bank.
In the mean time your bank puts £288 into a suspense account where it sits pending from 3-5 days
Since google wont actually charge you until it ships they money shows off your available £££ in your bank account but it has not been claimed by google as they havent shipped your phone
So after 3-5 days. If your phone hasnt shipped £288 will fall back into your account.
Then when the phone ships the £288 will be processed again and this time google will clime the money and you will see £288 Google play order on your transactions list for your bank.
This is quite an american way of doing things as its taken you are paying by credit card. Even the play store asks what credit card you want to pay with.
If you had paid with a credit card they transaction would go through just the same but you wouldnt notice the £288 being put into the pending state as its not YOUR money your being restricted to accessing it would only be £288 of credit available.
Its more down to the fact its always been advised to use a credit card on the play store and pretty much the norm for americans to pay for most on a credit card where as here in the uk we use our debit cards more which is why this happens.
If you see in about 3-5 days the funds will become avail again unless google ship the phone, in which case you will see the payment on your statement

Bought an 8gb one before xmas and fell in love with it but couldn't manage with only 8gb so sold it on ebay for £340.... If this is true I am buying the 16gb in a flash..... Damn good phone (except for the camera issues but that will be fixed soon enough)

Yesterday I went from 12pm to 5pm to midnight for restock times. All of them passed without it happening.....
Where has the supposed £248.99 price tag come from? No mention in the article you linked to and Google Play shows the normal £279 price, even converting the $350 screen cap in the article to GBP is about £222.
Did you make that up for heat?
GAVINLEWISHUKD to spaceinvader
30 Jan 131#12
Thats the normal price on the play store. £239+£9.99p+p.

I'll be going for the 16GB just so I know I won't run out. I don't think I'll fill it, but you never know how many apps you want to store.

I'd love one, but why does there have to be talk of a new version cropping up at MWC, it's less than a month away.........
Hopefully it's only a white version (pictures are around) and will suit chavs/ those who secretly harbour some degree of racism; but if its a version with 32gb or an sd card slot....is it worth waiting to see?
The price of the Nexus 7 dropped after the larger capacity version was released, maybe it will be the same for the N4??
steve019 to Chulmney_Warner
30 Jan 13#22
That's the trouble with technology. You'll always find something better and faster is released not far after you've made your purchase.
As for the rumoured N4 v2, I would imagine it would be higher storage options and the activation of the currently dormant 4G chip.
munchkins14 to Chulmney_Warner

Very true, but for the sake of a few weeks i'm almost tempted to wait. If it says delivery within 2-4 weeks then i think that might sway the decision too.

SD card is almost certainly not in the cards. 32gb version with LTE however is pretty much a certainty. It is what they did with the Nexus 7.

The phone has recently come into stock in US/Germany.

Its not RRP, look anywhere but google play and you will get at RRP, Google are selling at a heavily subsidised loss/breakeven point which is below RRP. Crazy move from the product owner but thats what it is. RRP ~£400.
i waited up till past midnight last night as someone said yesterday they would have some @ 5pm and then midnight, i wont be so guilable next time :disappointed: this non deal is very cold for me im afraid

30 Jan 131#45
And how do you get this device fixed if you need service support eg break the screen ?
Cry, man up and buy a new phone. Replacing the screen or the back glass is astronomically expensive.
bigdaf1 to deaglecat
30 Jan 13#332
I broke mine, Google directed me to LG. You wait for a letter from LG with postage details, you send it off to LG, wait upto 10 working days for a quote in the post, agree the cost, you pay for the repair, then wait for the phone to be returned. They quoted £60 to £100 to replace the screen verbally, I am waiting the written quote. Oh, if you do not like their quote, it will cost you upto £25 to get the broken handset back. A very long winded process if you ask me!! Apparently, they do not do emails to speed up the process!!!!

Arhhhhhhh, ave ordered 2 by accident (site froze).
Z will have a better camera (especially low-light), bigger screen, but have rubbish software, and no upgrade path from the OS it shipped with.

I think the Motorola "X" Phone will be one to wait for.. it may or may not be the next Nexus but it will definitely have the second fastest update regime if not the same as the Nexus line!
It is meant to have a crazy battery and be "unbreakable" = sold for me! :smiley:
PS. This is from a current RAZR i owner.. I have been more than impressed with the Motorola hardware quality!
shah09
30 Jan 13#87
Apparently the Xperia Z software is almost minimalistic from what I've heard/read so far. The operating system isn't really much of a factor for me as it will get an upgrade soon after the Nexus I'm sure.
GAVINLEWISHUKD
30 Jan 13#88
Well the S3 does everything the N4 does so no point in upgrading, they are in the same class.
Well as we don't know what the specs are of the S4 how can you say its not better? It will most certainly have a faster processor, a 1080p screen and a better camera which are the main features people pay for in a phone.

Rossmor40 to cdm22
30 Jan 131#98
As others have said phones with equivalent or lesser specs are £100-£200 more. The reviews say this is a better phone than the Galaxy S3 for instance which is around £400 sim free so it is indeed a deal/bargain as you are getting more for your money.

If storage is a problem, why switch when the S3 has a micro sd slot and this doesn't? Try using cloud storage to save space.
m.ad

Use Google Music to upload your music library to the cloud
Sign up to Dropbox and get a 2GB account, set to automatically upload photos. Eventually you should earn an extra 5GB of space
SkyDrive has 7GB of free cloud storage
Thats 14GB of storage there, also consider Google Drive, Cubby, Box etc

I will give my experience of this phone and service from Google for anyone on the fence.
I bought one on launch form the play store, It was a cluster£$%^ from the start due to backorders etc but i forgave that anyway for the massive demand they saw for this.
Anyway it arrived the first week in Dec and through the worst possible courier in my opinion.
TNT they are £$&%*£* useless. Both phone and bumper came in bags that were torn to hell and taped back up by TNT. The N4 box was crushed and trying to get them to deliver to anywhere but the address on the delivery note is not going to happen as the company Google use for distribution will only allow them to deliver to the original address.
Anyway the device came and it was damaged no doubt through the abuse it was subjected to at TNT.
I waited a month for a returns bag and at that I couldn't hand it into the TNT office as it needed to go through a booking process over the phone even although everything is pre paid and bag provided from TNT and costs covered by google.
Long story short phone is awesome. Google could not be more helpful although you have to speak to the Customer service in the US so they dont really know what happens in the UK.
Google dont really care about the 28days return etc as long as you log a call with them to return the item before the deadline they will happily refund the money once the device is received back to the supplier or distribution (depending if you want a replacement or refund)
so
Google service = Awesome
Nexus 4 = awesome phone
TNT = no customer service, unhelpful and potentially careless with items.
You wont find another device close for this price and even with all the previous heartache and headache through TNT I have once again to place an order and hopefully I will get this one in one piece.
arsenalfan to Kenneth131

spraint to Kenneth131
30 Jan 131#153
I find this story very hard to believe. I have read it twice and it still seems to lack veracity. Are you really trying to convince us that TNT actually DELIVERED something to you? Really?
Years of bitter experience have taught me that TNT's usual modus operandi is to lose all despatches in transit and then to take weeks 'investigating' before denying all knowledge. I think you made this all up. There is no way you could have got your phone from them in whatever state of repair. Even if you got down on your knees and cried and begged.

As a lot of people have said, no MicroSD, well, what is the point...
That's why I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab over a Nexus, and that's why my next phone won't be a Nexus.

markh2001
30 Jan 13#138
Im replacing the s3 for the nexus as i'd rather just have all nexus devices, got the nexus 10 so would like to just stick to the nexus range. Also ive had 2 s3's die on me. they just stop charging and won't turn on so worried mine will do that again. plus like the nexus devices get the updates first. Can sell my s3 for £350- £400 anyway.
Kenneth131
30 Jan 13#139
Yeah this phone is awesome because some components are above that of the Samsung GS3. others are on par. The price however is that of a mid range smartphone not the high end device it is. So you have an amazing phone more than capable of rivaling all modern high end devices for a superb price point.
Plus as its a nexus you know it will get around a 2 year upgrade path from google not an oem who will customize the android os and possibly never release the latest build for your phone.
Down side mobile world congress is acoming and in about a month you will have all the latest 2013 phones flaunted in your face but you have to remember although these WILL be better than anything at the moment most wont be available until July August and have a price point around the £500 + mark.
so the nexus is a case where you get more than what you pay for which is rare

So basically every single time you want to look at a photo, play a song, access something that could've been on a 32GB microSD card you need to use data or a wi-fi connection? Bloody weird and a waste of data/internet bandwidth if you ask me!
And yes, I know 16GB is a lot of storage on a phone... but really, throwing everything else onto an online server just seems a total waste!

To order or not to order - that is the question!
Am certain it will be excellent but don`t want to wait for more than 2 weeks for a phone to arrive, (bit cheeky to charge for delivery for a crap delivery service!)
I was concerned about the microSd slot at first as well but Google Music is excellent and I decided it is only a minor concern - still annoying though!
Anyone know any decent low cost sub £10 SIM only contracts for this?

First two times that these were released I was definitely going to get one, especially as I had the Nexus S before.
(Ps to folk saying how you get the great updates, and support over a longer time, well the Nexus S was supported for just 2 years from release, the 4.1.2 update was confirmed as the last, so yes Nexus did get the update WELL before S2, but both have had support for approx 2 years....Also 4.1.2 I find to be quite sluggish on the Nexus S, but very smooth on the S2)
Really doesn't appeal to me at all now. Got my S2 for £170, it's on 4.1.2, really impressed with it.
The Nexus 4 doesn't appear to be the great bargain it did a couple of months ago. It is good, but with limitations. To me the 16gb model is basically a £300 phone, at best, so the price is not that amazing.

How did they cock it up?
The lack of stock is a surefire way to create a FAR bigger demand than the item would usually carry, so, in my conspirical mind, Google have outdone themselves in generating huge amounts of publicity and demand, simply by them being 'out of stock'...
The more you can't have something, the more you want it! Even if you didn't really want it in the first place...

Google service is woeful, in my experience.
Ordered a Google Nexus 7 in November - they quoted 3-5 working days for delivery. Nothing after 7 w/days so contacted them (on a Thursday). They blamed US Thanksgiving hols for the delay & told me it should be with me the next morning, or Monday at the VERY latest. (Even though the device was being dispatched from Dublin) Needless to say, nothing arrived.
Phoned again the next Wednesday to be told the couriers must have lost it... and that I should try to track it down with them!
I reminded them that my purchase contract was with Google, not the couriers, so they were responsible for getting the goods to me, not vice versa. They then stated they would cancel the original order - provided I signed a Consent Form for the original device to be 'deactivated'. This would mean waiting for the form to be posted to me, completing it and posting it back to them before they would re-order a new one - which would take... another 3-5 working days for delivery!. They refused to take any further action or expedite delivery until this process was done.
So they were told to stick it & I went to Currys and bought something else.
3 weeks later a card from a courier arrived at my door telling me no-one was home when they tried to deliver it that day & how to collect it. Promptly binned.
Another lost sale. They really need to up their game.

I love mine to bits, had a HTC One X before that and downgrades are obviously the screen, camera and 32GB on the HOX, however this is all made up with the software. Nexus devices will get the latest software updates and no need to wait around for OEMs to update their devices. I though I would miss Sense but the customisations of stock android are very decent, and may alternatives to make up for the loss of Sense. Space for me is not an issue as I make use of the cloud solutions, why keep everything on the phone chances are you'd lose it or it'd get stolen always makes sense to back up everything to the cloud and locally.
Good price, good phone, sure 2013 phones are around the corner but prices will be much higher than this. And we will get Key Lime Pie sooner rather than later!

Lol. My order doubled as I refreshed when I thought the system had crashed. I sent a cancellation email straight away and got this reply:
"At this point it is no longer possible to cancel this order. Your order is processed shortly after your purchase is complete. Our expedited order fulfillment process ensures that packages are delivered quickly, which also means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to our shipping provider moving forward with delivery."
Two weeks. That's their idea of quick delivery.

I wanted one of each and ordered earlier but then realised by ordering separately i had paid 2 lots of postage so i then did another order for one of each.
I then tried to cancel my 2 original orders but received the following reply :
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window.
So if i'm to believe that it has already been shipped but i'm sceptical !

You could sell your sensation ?
I have a custom ROM on it, ARHD but the nexus is very fast and battery is about double for me.
I have a anker battery but not that much improvement.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 on the other hand is about 20% better battery than the nexus, I've heard....
Hope this helps, PM if you need any more advice or help

I moved from HTC Sensation to N4, battery life is miles better. With HTC S, I went from green to yellow battery in the first couple of hours. A few videos, photos, facebook, emails and a couple of calls would drain the battery. With the N4 I took about 20 photos, 5 videos at a concert, fb, calls and even an hour playing music and still had half the battery by night time.
I have suffered from a cracked screen though and have sent it off to LG for repair (hopefully will cost about £140 or less!!) they esitmate £60 to £100. Very brittle phone!!!!

Not at the moment, 4G plans are expensive and pointless. Once 4G becomes the standard and unlimited data is offered, then it'll be useful. Because at the moment the kind of usage that 4G requires will go over your monthly data allowance in about 5 minutes.

OMG the Nexus fever strikes again. I hope Google don't make a mass of it this time.
Got one last time round. Very good phone if you consider the price. My main concern was battery life - it is acceptable. Coming from a 2000mAh Galaxy S2 it was a bit of a let down. But the phone easily lasted through a the day if I mostly used wi-fi. On 3g modem it was slightly worse. And heavy use depleted the battery rather quickly.
Vanilla Android is a little disappointing as well. I missed the samsung dialer and capacitive buttons plus the physical home button.
Sold mine eventually and kept the Samsung.

Very good points. This Vanilla android thing is nice, and i really liked it on my Nexus S compared to gingerbread / touchwiz but having jellybean / touchwiz on say the s2 has its benefits. My s2 would almost appear at first glance to be vanilla jellybean (I don't run Samsung apps, etc), but has the Samsung extras hidden away, such as fm radio, SkySports TV, etc.

So nothing out of the ordinary then. I did a comparison with sensation using this site and the battery seems to be more powerful so i'm assuming it'll last a bit longer. Going to have to see if i can sell my sensation. If i can get a decent price i'll definitely consider getting the Nexus 4.
I'm not too sure how long i've had my sensation, probably nearly 2 years i think. I was considering getting an IPhone 4S late last year but obviously seeing as they've been superseeded by the 5 i don't think i'll bother. Also thought about a galaxy s3, but they seem quite dear and the size of the device puts me off slightly. As i say if i can sell my sensation i'm going to seriously consider getting one of these.

30 Jan 13#239
I would like to point out any issues with shipping times and delivery are not handled in any way by Google in the UK. If you have an issue with your order etc etc your best bet is to call Google support and talk to them.
The way Delivery & returns are handled in the US and UK are COMPLETLY different.
UPS offer a great service over in the states. In the UK TNT and a 3rd party distribution company deal with all shipping and returns.
So you place your order. It then goes on a spreadsheet style system which goes to the distributer ( i cant remember the name just now)
They handle many large companies stock however so google is not their only priority.
once they recieve all the orders they work through them in batches to get them to TNT who then deliver
Google simply have the payment system and order service.
so before slating google look to the ones actually handling the stock. :neutral_face:

30 Jan 13#249
lol last years spec. Indeed it toped or matched that of high end devices which were out last year but even if new devices are anounced at MWC in feb you will be looking at launch about july august and with a heafty price tag to match.
So absolutly there will be newer greater tech this year but with a much higher price point. In tech terms the year runs from Q3 year 1 to Q2 year two, not from January to Feb.
Some companies like apple and google set aside seperate launch events which usually run about August time,
plus the nexus was only released 3 months ago so its not old by any means.
also people moaning about support the support time on any mobile is 2 years regardless of manufacturer. Thats the support time that is set out. If they feel they can easily or inexpensivly continue beyond this where there is a need they might well do so but its a guide line minimum of 2 years. so no manufacturer or Software company is better than any other in this respect as its industry wide

Kenneth131
30 Jan 13#251
The white one will be anounced wether its carrier exclisive will be another matter.
One thing to note I hear people saying the screen bezel is black on the white version and thus is a lazy way to make a white handset, This is true as it means very little change to the production line.
But the other reason this is done is and you can check this all you want, a white bezel often does not look as uniform when watching a movie etc as it gives you a white border around the display, it catches the users eye and also has the illusion of a smaller screen.
I only know this through work i have done with some mobile companies. Apple dont seem to bother with this and to my mind yes I think a fully white phone looks lovely but when using one especially in daylight it does glare abit and distract you from the screen.
So thats why the front will be black chose of which you will as being the real reason. I like to think a bit of both.
It does however at pressent have black buttons. I really would hope this changes in final production otherwise it might as well have a star wars logo on it and call it a stormtrooper

30 Jan 13#261
If your happy with the note keep it. Its still a cracking capable device and over on XDA developers site there are plenty of custom roms which you could run which will make the note feel like a whole new device again.
If you are willing to take the hit on the £100 for this then you know you will have a device to last 2 years minimum if your inclined to stick with it should you like it for that length of time.
Its still not perfect but then nothing ever will be otherwise they wouldnt have anything to sell you in a years time. it is however a cracking device but its a different demographic to the note so depends on needs and wants

Fantastic. but its not RRP as the RRP is £400 LOL
this is just the price google sell it for. If honda sold a Civic for £3000 opossed to Arnold Clark who sells it at £14000 would you not want to know when it was back in stock with Honda?

To put this into perspective for those who have no idea why this 'deal' is so hot: cpw is selling the exact same phone for 450.
Kenneth131
30 Jan 13#273
Also all the talk of no 4G I would like to point out that if your with EE and have a 4G contract this obviously wont be your choice of phone as a primary device but if you dont yet have a 4G plan then why worry about it not having 4G.
4G is still 2 years away from being anywhere near an affordable rival to 3G and the incrediable speeds will slow when more traffic picks up as well as being restricted by allowance caps or download limits.
So if you want to pay for it fine but if like most you would cry at the price of 4G just now or the download limits imposed, by the time it is a viable alternative to 3G and offers the likes of GiffGaff pricing and no limits you will be on your next phone anyway which will have lte
So no 4G. Dont sweat it. It would cost a fortune to run and limits restrict how much you could use it to its potential
Mark43 to Kenneth131
30 Jan 132#279
Completely agree, I have no interest in 4G right now, I'll give it a couple of years. Its very badly priced, not badly needed, and its not that much better anyway.

They can put the RRP at what they like what they sell it for can be anything either side. Its just a recommended retail price not the price this must be sold at and as pointed out CPW are selling this phone for £450. Google dont make the phone LG do and they set the price google chose to sell it cheaper.

Google music is great. Yep you're screwed if you have no data access, though obviously you can still keep a reasonable amount of music on your device if you want, the capacity may not be great bit its also not that tiny.
Its not really worth all the debate, if you really don't think 16GB is enough and are not happy with the streaming solution then this simply isn't the phone for you. However if you are fine with it, then its a great phone for the money.

30 Jan 13#288
8GB is not enough for people like me who like their apps, just having a couple of apps, and 1 or 2 big games (1GB+) and it quickly goes, even if you are using play music for cloud streaming. Cloud streaming isn't the best though, because I personally do not have an unlimited data plan, and what if i want to listen to music and have no reception for internet... I'm not convinced that cloud storage can replace physical storage, I just find it a nice feature for people using multiple devices, i like sharing files between my phone, tablet and laptop in cloud storage

I've coupled it with an three 30 day rolling contract that has UNLIMITED internet which is perfect for Google Play Music, plus unlimted texts and a few hundred minutes not that I use them... all for £10.49 per month after cash back. Three are also offering DC-HSPA which is twice the speed of normal HSPA+ so 4G really doesnt bother me, too over priced! (48mbps)

Another point to make - I think 4G will only be genuinely useful once battery life gets to the level where it needs to be, i.e. you can use all functions on a phone for a full day or two without having to charge. There's no point streaming videos online on your phone with 4G if the battery is dead within half a day because the screen and connectivity being turned on drains the battery. At present this is a major problem with all top end smartphones - battery tech hasn't advanced enough, whereas the rest of the tech is constantly advancing.

Ordered one at 3pm, payment failed using my VISA (?) so I placed a new order at 3.30pm using my MASTERCARD and that completed fine. Now I check my account and I have two phones on order as payment has been taken for the first order with my VISA even though it failed and card has been removed from my Google wallet?
I phoned Google and they have no explanation and I cannot cancel 1 order even though phones have not been posted. Worst service ever, guess ill have to take it up with my bank. Google receipt even states "you will not be charged until you order has shipped".

I too had this problem, I had to phone the back in order to get them to authorise the payment which was strange... its seems that Google make a £1 debit when you add the card to your Google Wallet and then when you buy the phone it comes as another transaction... because there are 2 transactions it may flag up at your bank saying so (I use barclays, so yours may or may not be similar).
I believe you can cancel a transaction only if its in the first hour! stupid I know!

I can see what you're saying but I also have to day that I agree with the OP here. Google's decision to not include SD card readers in the nexus range makes no sense and spoils what are otherwise a great range of hardware.
I'm not knocking it, I quite fancy this phone myself and am typing this on a nexus 7 but cloud storage is of no use to you when you're on holiday abroad with no WiFi or on a plane at 33000 feet.

From what I understand the older style 3G sims have a larger contact footprint (as mine was) and they can be a little tricky.

Some networks will issue one for free

Even though it says 1-2 weeks dispatch it may actually be sent out tomorrow(assuming you ordered earlier today) or in the next couple of days, as the americans and germans who had the phone comeback to stock yesterday where also given 1-2 weeks dispatch times , have already had their phones being dispatched today.

So tempted, but sadly there arent any good android tablets to complement it. My OCD demands my gadgets run the same os and are by the same manufacturer. I know there are nexus tabs, but the quality is horrible.
I wish google would reverse thecompanies manufacturing the tabs. Samsung are far better for 7" tablets, as their 10" are plagued by issues due to the nasty cheap plastic. Asus on the other hand have lead the 10" android space since they entered it.
Think ill cough up the extra few hundred quid for the excellent upcoming Sony phone and tab. Im becoming incredibly bored with ios. Would be even better if someone actually made a decent windows rt tablet.

Also guys, avoid giffgaff. Data speeds are very poor, and the network is always down or experiencing issues.
Virgin are far better, and have superior coverage as they use orange/tmob masts as opposed to crappy O2.
I live in northern england, a place no one acknowledges as being part of the country, and i still manage 11mbps down, 4 up on the outskirts of sunderland, as opposed to O2's 3mbps down.
Also, virgin allow for unlimited tethering on their unlimited data plans, where as giffgaff do not.
Mark43 to striker33

Depends where you live, O2 is better for me. I'd say base your decision on what is good in your area.

It's how they reduce costs but still make margins high enough to keep manufacturers interested. If you want an sd slot get an S3.
if storage limitation is an issue, remember you can use (tiny) flash drives (or micro sd card reader) and an otg cable to keep the extra content... also, the xiaomi mi2 is cooler than the nexus 4 :smiley:

I managed to purchase the phone when the second batch was released. I have to say Google were completely unprepared for the launch and failed to address issues properly or put proper systems into place.
The main thing is the phone, which is to be honest a very good phone, especially considering the price. The phone is extremely quick and I have had no issues with my phone, showing that LG has fixed any hardware faults reported. I would recommend the 8GB to those who will use it primarily for just calls and texts, a few apps and pictures as well as they dont take up much space. The 16GB is perfect for me as I dont keep movies or music on my phone. The battery life is also excellent for me, lasting me two days. As for the camera, I am not a professional photographer, so to me this is still an 8MP camera.
This phone might not appeal to everyone but since when does everyone have the same requirements or needs. For me this phone is brilliant and it is packed with many features also offering first hand updates straight from Google. The best thing about Android is that it is totally customisable, so if you dont like something, you can find and change things so it will be exactly how you want.

I got one of these from Google at launch, sold it on eBay... my problem was the size of the phone, just too big I found- was all good apart from that

at the risk of sounding repetitivetive, checkout the xiaomi mi2. One of the main reasons I got it is because it is smaller (about 1cm shorter), cheaper and with some better features (otg, removable battery, with a larger 3000mAh alternative, among other cool stuff)

Xiaomi MI2 looks good but not for UK market, I mean in short if you ain't got spare cash.

Yep, I loved them at first too. After a year I got sick of service dropouts and signal issues, and they refused to give me a PAC code. Had to quibble for weeks before they'd give me one.
Virgin have been around for a while now, and aside from the well known teething problems they had with iPhone 5 network settings causing dropouts (grrrr apple), its been superb now its fixed. One thing i've noticed, is that the phone considers the network link to be LTE enabled, even though its not. Still, the faster HSPA+ connection rivals the US LTE speeds at 11mbps. Well chuffed.
Edit: after a wee bit researching, it appears my phone defaults to EE's 4G services (even though we dont have 4G here), not sure if this is the norm with Virgin, or if its a mistake.
Offering £335 cash for a new 16gb at the moment, probably start to drop though

Dunno about the 4g stuff, but with my virgin sim I can sit on the top of the bus, with the hotspot turned on, watching tvcatchup on the s2, and browsing the Internet on my iPod touch (5th gen), and both smooth as funk.

Any good heavy duty cases? Dust protection, etc. Something that is able to wrap around the edges of a screen protector at least would be a necessity for what my one will be used for.
I've seen enough fugly purple cases or ones with embarassing designs on the back to do me for a lifetime at this stage.
I sold my December 16gb earlier this month to CEX for £310. Was a better and faster option than trying to get a refund from Google.

BubaMan to Amin

Keep it, seriously.
The S3 has removable storage, a better camera, OTG support and uses the cheaper, more common MHL connection for TV-out.
The Nexus 4 is marginally better in the CPU & GPU areas but not enough that you'd notice and IPS vs OLED is moot.
I'm happy with my Nexus 4 but I wouldn't go to the effort of replacing an S3 with it.

Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window.

Guys this CeX business, is it really just a case of walking in to the shop with a sealed 16GB and they give you 344 quid for it? If so what's the catch?
m.ad to zermattbusby
31 Jan 131#446
They may say they don't have the money in the till, and say they can't do it. Or, they will say it is not Grade A, and give you a lower price (although if it is sealed it would be difficult to argue!!)
You can always do the trade with CEX online, although you will need to pay P&P and again, if they classify it at a lower grade, your stumped
Saying that though, I have traded many games with them in the past both in store and online, and found it relatively hassle free
willyvwade to zermattbusby
31 Jan 131#447
Pretty much, but only for the first few people who get to the store, since they'll only take X number of handsets for cash (If you want something instore, they'll offer trade all day).
In my local stores, the N4 is the most wanted handset, so they'll probably take a lot unless the stores managers have seen that these are in stock for real this time.
pete1993 to zermattbusby
31 Jan 131#450
Most stores now have the ability to pay you via BACS, so it's unlikely you'll be declined on that basis.
Just wait in the queue (up to 30mins in my local), they put it through the tills, give it a Grade A as it's brand new and put it in for a test. Before the new system came in, you had to then return after 1-6 hours after it had been tested to collect the cash, if your store has BACS, they will put the payment through when they finish testing, so you don't need to come back.
Really is that simple, the BACS takes 3-4 days to come through, but it does come through. :stuck_out_tongue:
I ordered at 3:02, 16GB model.

Why reject them when you can make a profit via eBay or CEX?

Because I'd rather have the money back in my bank rather than taking a chance to earn 20 or 30 quid on each phone. I'll not sell on ebay as the chance of getting scammed is massive with high value items, and I won't sell to CEX as I won't allow them to open it.

15:10 order - no dispatch to west London
I ordered in December but cancelled as was fed up of waiting. It seemed back then that if you ordered after a certain time the order numbers reset and were lower than people who ordered the minute it became available, so people who ordered later got their phones first. So, for a 15:10 order the last set of numbers in my order number are 1521327627855379.
To test the theory, can someone with a dispatch note who ordered after 15:10 (if any) provide the last part of their order number to compare?

I was one of the lot that ordered in December.
Received my device just before Xmas.
Picked it up after a 3 hour charge and the back shattered in my hand leaving cuts.
Apparently the shock from my cold hand (just came in from outside in the snow) triggered the glass to have a freak reaction.
Called Google Play (who are DIABOLICAL) and they arranged an RMA
TNT delivered my replacement to someone else.

Folks, need some honest opinion here..
I'm an iPhone user. I've had an iPhone since the first 2G one, then 3G, then 4, currently iPhone 5 (regrettable "upgrade"). I hate Apple as a company, the way they operate, the stupidly overpriced devices, and yet - I buy their products. Well, I buy the iPhone anyway. I love iOS and I find it second nature. I've used Android before, many times. I've tried and wanted so badly to like it more than iOS, but I just can't get on with it. I just don't feel Android is as user-friendly, as streamlined, as smooth as iOS. Android just feels like an inferior quality in comparison with iOS.
Now, I'm yet to experience Jellybean or Google's Nexus branded devices. Please, can someone (hopefully someone who's been in my shoes) tell me the honest truth. Is this Google Nexus 4 any different from Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's devices? Price aside, let's imagine the iPhone 5 is £400 and the Google Nexus 4 is £400 also, would they be considered comparable in user-friendliness and functionality? I hope this is the device that will make me finally bid farewell to Apple. That said, not having iMessage or Facetime is going to cause issues..
But I think you will find that even this phone and Jelly Bean are not quite as polished as iPhone. The third party apps are of a slightly higher quality - but we are now getting to the point where the difference is marginal.
pdug175 to qwerta369
31 Jan 131#499
You wont be disappointed , I have the nexus s which is basically the 2nd release of the google phone, whereas the nexus 4 is the 4th incarnation. This runs vanilla android so no unnecessary bloat. Jelly bean run very smooth on my old handset so I'd imagine its lightening quick on this new device. You will also be getting OS updates before any other handsets.
homerj1977 to qwerta369
31 Jan 132#515
I've always been an android fan, but even I'll admit the OS hasn't always been the best looking or smoothest. Other launchers have helped in this respect, but still not perfect.
Jellybean is something different altogether. It's beautiful, modern and ridiculously smooth, whereas I think iOS now looks stale and dated.
I can't recommend the N4 enough, certainly at that price, but each to thier own
Mark43 to qwerta369
31 Jan 13#517
I can't comment on previous versions of android as this is the first I've used, but coming from an iPhone 4 I'm really happy with it. I find it just as easy to use as iOS and had become tired and bored of that OS anyway. Also I don't really like Apple and always said to myself I'd switch when the competition caught up, which they have.
m.ad to qwerta369
31 Jan 13#529
I am in a similar boat - iPhone 4 user, tried the Galaxy SII but could not get on with it so sold it, then worked for a company that provided me with a 4S and iPad, further entrenching me into the Apple ecosystem which I want to break away from.
When I had the Galaxy SII I felt that the interface wasn't as smooth as my iPhone, which was a major reason for selling it and reverting back to the older device. I think it was the combination of the Android version (Gingerbread) and Samsungs TouchWiz interface that put me off.
I haven't had any hands-on time with the Nexus 4, but I did give the Nexus 7 a quick go on display at Tesco, and the interface has come a long way since Gingerbread. Stock Android and "Project Butter" seem to have made all the difference, so I have high hopes that I can finally start moving away from iOS.
My advice would be to try and find a Nexus 4, 7 or 10 on display in a shop somewhere and have a quick play. Larger Tesco, HMV or Carphone Warehouse stores would be good places to start. I know that some Android devices have extra features (removable battery / MicroSIM / OTG) but for someone coming from iOS, will they really be needed yet? My main reason for getting the Nexus is to at least start moving away from iOS and begin to build a relationship with Android. Otherwise I will start buying more apps for iOS which will make it harder to break away as time goes on.
PS, regarding FaceTime and iMessage? Skype and WhatsApp are two examples of alternatives that come to mind as replacements
Am I the only one who doesn't bother with cases and screen protectors on my phones?

Have you tried the nexus?
My wife has an S3 which I think is great but the nexus is head and shoulders betters. The only things I find better about the samsung is a faster shutter speed (but the photo's are better on the Nexus) and the lack on expandle storage on the nexus. The nexus is better in every other way. If you can manage without the extra storage then sell you S3 and keep the nexus. It's seriously slick.

sunnygilluk
31 Jan 13#518
I have an S3 currently and i ordered this on impulse too. I decided that evening it was too small an upgrade and no point in doing it. So i tried to cancel. Google sent me the same generic cant cancel email that they sent everyone else. I havent had it delievered or any sign of it yet. But im really stuck, i love my s3, i love the expandable memory (although i dont use it all that often) i have tons of accesories for it HDMI out cable cases batteries etc. Although my wife also has one and she can use these. But i really like the look of the nexus and i THINK im willing to sacrifice expandable memory and removable battery to have it. But still completely not sure what to do, i can either sell my s3 for 250 quid and keep the nexus, or sell the nexus to CEX, but like alot of people are saying CEX might not be paying 344 (I have made an account and set up a sale of a nexus 4 already just in case, you get five working days to get it to them for that price) im so confused right now!!!!
SilverBlack to sunnygilluk
31 Jan 13#527
lol you sound like me :smile:
Im going to give the Nexus a fair go and if i dont like it will just sell it on.
Same with my S3 will sell that too if i like the Nexus.The thing that bothers me is the price of any other phone i might want compared to this Nexus almost double.
An S4 is going to be what £499 + ?? I like the look of the Sony Xperia Z but thats £530 same as an iphone5.
This Nexus is just too good price to pass up on.

I've also been using iPhones since day one and as much as I still like it I just fancied a change. I had a chat with a friend who had the S3 and I then played around with this in the shop for a while and thought it was pretty poor. The stuff Samsung have stuck over the top of Android feels cheap and not at all intuitive, coming from an iPhone. I then went into the o2 store yesterday and had a play with the Nexus 4 and it felt so much smoother than the S3 so I've gone ahead and purchased one. Looking forward to receiving it.

Hi they've charged me already, I ordered at 5.30 yesterday, but still says shipping Feb 13. Thought they only charged when it was shipped?
Anyone know, seems very random this?
thanks

I'd say there is a good chance it will be on its way soon, they tend to just stick the longest estimate on it, and its pretty common for nothing to update until its on its way.

Ps. I've got 2 N4's one Ive been using since xmas and one still sealed (I ordered 2 back then)
The one I've been using still has screen protectors on and has been in a case but the imei barcode has slightly worn away, do you think cex will still give £344 for it?
jm7162 to tom6195

want to sell me your sealed one (for retail price) and i'll sell you the one I've ordered when I get it for the same price? its a 16gb

31 Jan 13#544
They reserve the money on your card but don't actually take it until they ship, not quite sure what the difference is really unless the fact they've only reserved it means you don't pay interest on it until it's actually taken
suzannemcgowan1 to zAndy1

To be honest you're going to have your own criteria for what you want out of a phone, and only you know what yours are. If you're interested in buying one, check the reviews on the internet.
I'm really tempted to get a Nexus 4 even though I have a Galaxy S3 currently. I'd prefer stock Android without rooting, but I'm concerned about the lack of storage and possible battery drain issues.
Arrrggg! Can't decide !

Reserve the price online as soon as you can. If the price drops drastically before you get to store, courier it to them for the higher price

For anyone wondering why you have been charged for the device but it has not shipped il explain.
You bought the phone from Google for £288
The £288 is charged to your payment card and google would have received an authorization code from your bank. This allows them to request the money from your bank.
In the mean time your bank puts £288 into a suspense account where it sits pending from 3-5 days
Since google wont actually charge you until it ships they money shows off your available £££ in your bank account but it has not been claimed by google as they havent shipped your phone
So after 3-5 days. If your phone hasnt shipped £288 will fall back into your account.
Then when the phone ships the £288 will be processed again and this time google will clime the money and you will see £288 Google play order on your transactions list for your bank.
This is quite an american way of doing things as its taken you are paying by credit card. Even the play store asks what credit card you want to pay with.
If you had paid with a credit card they transaction would go through just the same but you wouldnt notice the £288 being put into the pending state as its not YOUR money your being restricted to accessing it would only be £288 of credit available.
Its more down to the fact its always been advised to use a credit card on the play store and pretty much the norm for americans to pay for most on a credit card where as here in the uk we use our debit cards more which is why this happens.
If you see in about 3-5 days the funds will become avail again unless google ship the phone, in which case you will see the payment on your statement

Where do you check status of the order? On Google Wallet?
tom6195

zermattbusby
31 Jan 13#575
haha I take it you mean from the last debacle?
Not to worried this time, I'm sure another batch of emails will appear this evening
Think last time shipping emails were sent out around 6pm onwards and delivered the following day
zermattbusby
31 Jan 13#576
Yeah I've just registered and filled in the selling form
Trouble is I actually want one to keep lol do I order another before it sells out?
Kenneth131
31 Jan 13#578
Yep as mentioned Google don't handle the shipping or distribution in the UK its a third party company
They are a huge distribution company with many large names of tech on the books so deal with orders in batches
Nothing against Google but as this is the case phoning them won't help as they honestly have no idea and not their fault its all handled by another company in the UK.
The run dispatch in batches and hence why you get a wave of phones sent at the same time
Once its shipped from there your Google wallet transaction will change from pending to a paid transaction with a TNT reference. Which may or may not mean anything to TNT as mentioned they reuse tracking numbers but it will have shipped at this point
You will get a dispatched email from Google though at this time also
tom6195
31 Jan 13#579
Yeah order another one.
So if I fill this form out now, get to the store later and they don't have enough cash or price has changed, I just ship them to CEX direct?
achapman
31 Jan 13#580
I had just ordered it at time of posting but received no errors. Got the confirmation email to tell me I have ordered it.
Kenneth131
31 Jan 13#581
OK as promised here is the company that is used for distribution in the UK so people can stop blaming Google for any delays. Being informed is half the problem so let me enlighten you all.
To be fair people can still complain about Google if they're unhappy. They've placed an order with Google, if Google then use a distributor that does a poor job then Google are still ultimately responsible.

31 Jan 13#589
hi did u get a despatch email
zermattbusby
31 Jan 13#585
If I had one in hand I would take it to store, I would only post it to CeX as a last resort, for the following reasons :
a) You pay the postage (6 quid RMSD)
b) Will they agree its in the condition you say it is
c) If you send it sealed they'll probably open it and say its not new
Better really to deal face to face imo
Kenneth131
31 Jan 13#586
Definitely mark. I totally agree I was getting more at those that don't know and get frustrated that they have yet to receive an email without knowing the chain of events and how the whole process works which will kind of cause some people unease that they seemingly have money taken with no idea what's going on so once you understand the chain of events it can pit your mind at ease.
I do agree however googles choice of partner for this was possibly not the best given who they partner with for delivery etc so fair comment mark
Mark43 to Kenneth131
31 Jan 131#597
Ah fair enough, that makes sense. :smiley:
Hopefully everyone will get their phone soon. Its only been a day so don't panic people, even if others have theirs.

I'm gonna go straight after work but theyre only open til 6.45 and I fear they will fob me off :disappointed:
m.ad
31 Jan 13#588
Yes. Your quote on the website is valid for 5 working days, as long as it gets there by the 6th day they should honour the price.
As with any high price item, I would ship recorded as a precaution should item get lost in the post (never happened to any games I have sent to CEX but ya never know). I only ever had one issue with sending a game to CEX, when I sent a game as sealed but it wasn't (my mistake). However, I got a phone call quoting the reduced price, I wasn't happy with the new price so they sent the game back to me free of charge. Whether or not they do this with phones I am not sure

Wow 0.0. I ordered at 15:06 yesterday. It arrived today at 11:47am. I was half expecting to end up getting annoyed after a week and cancel my order, no chance of that! Delivery in less than 24 hours. Very impressed.

31 Jan 13#595
i just want to know if the people who received their orders actually received an email saying it has been despatched?
Beorg
31 Jan 132#596
I regretted getting the 16GB model for £40 extra (or 21% premium if you like) at first, but in the end, it comes down to convenience and resale value.
I'm intending to keep the phone for 12-18 months, £40 over 18 months is just a little over £2/month.
Whilst Google Music allows me to store thousands of songs in the Cloud, I don't always have access to perfect coverage where streaming high quality music is viable. That's not very inconvenient if you don't have many albums or want to store only a few on your device.
I hardly store any videos and photos can be uploaded to a Dropbox/Box account on the go. By the way, a few weeks ago I was able to get 50 GB free lifetime account with Box by registering the phone, not sure if that deal is still on the table, though.
The only real problem are apps, mainly games, that can often go into GBs these days, and the sizes increase every year. I already have only 5.17GB free space available and that is without storing anything large on the device, besides a few games.
If you root and make a backup of the system+data, it's easily 2GB. Photos and videos taken with the phone can easily go to 1-2GB in no time at all. You should always have a little space storing music locally and apps will usually take a few GBs, depending on what games you install and how you use your phone. I also flash a lot of ROMs, which themselves are usually around 200 MB large, so having some extra storage for that is a must.
Case in point, the 16GB model for me makes sense in the long run. I don't have to worry about the storage, even though I have most of my games and videos (not porn, mostly TV shows) stored on my Nexus 7 tablet.
The real free storage on the 16GB N4 is around 12.92 GB whereas the 8GB has around 5.67 GB of free space. That's almost 130% more storage for 21% increase in cost, which I felt was justified in the end. If my use was any different, I'd go with Cloud services and spent that £40 on a good night out or new IEMs.
Hope that helps anyone who's still wondering which version to get of this incredibly well priced device.

Seems like orders being sent out in wrong order yet again. Ordered 16GB at 57 seconds after 3 and nothing so far. Many posts on here and on the UK XDA thread of people already receiving theirs. Google haven't learnt anything.
M_z to dodgydave69
31 Jan 133#600
Well they said it would be delivered in 1-2 weeks, not that they would operate a strictly first-come-first-served system - so I think, as long as you do receive it in the 1-2 weeks you agreed to, then you have nothing to complain about.
I am in the same boat as you, I'd have liked to have received mine today, I didn't - but I wont throw my toys out of the pram for another week. :smiley:
Mark43 to dodgydave69
31 Jan 131#613
They have learnt something, not to quote anyone a 3-5 day delivery. They quoted you 1-2 weeks, whatever order they send them out in as long as you get it within 2 weeks then you get what you were offered.
suzannemcgowan1
31 Jan 13#601
To be honest, if mine takes two weeks I want the £9.99 back - for a 'two-day' delivery. Where do you see 'pending'? I don't have that anywhere. ta much
m.ad to suzannemcgowan1
31 Jan 13#602
If you follow the link in your confirmation email to your Google Wallet and press Transactions on the left, the Nexus will be listed under Pending
Beorg to suzannemcgowan1
31 Jan 13#603
It is a two day delivery once your phone has been despatched. I got mine a few hours after the confirmation email a month ago.
However, if it said that the phone is out of stock and it will likely be despatched within 1 or 2 weeks, that's when you should expect to get it and not any time sooner.

Kenneth131
31 Jan 13#619
As mark says above its only been a day and shipping was 1-2 weeks. Its not been 1-2 weeks so if you bought it on the premise you would get it sooner then that was wishful thinking on your behalf. Some people have got theirs and great it shows they are dealing with orders. If you didnt get yours then you still have until the 13th of feb to get a dispatch note. If by then you dont get one sure call up and get the £9,99 refund on shipping or cancel your order.
The orders are dealt with in batches by C2000 so how they process these is up to them nothing to do with google. Google just put your order on a spreadsheet in order of time purchased and it is sent to C2000 for shipping. How and when they do this is up to them.
I know the reason there was a hold up the last time was nothing to do with phone stock levels but the fact C2000 ran out of pre paid TNT shipping labels for the google play account so had to wait on TNT delivering a new batch lol laughable I know but should they have used another courier im sure things would have been smoother
bigpappa
31 Jan 131#621
This is what happens when margins get driven to ridiculously low levels. C2000 has a model based on rubbish level service and thus wins the bids to manage the order processing. Companies like HP don't like to deal with storage and warehousing as some MBA / Consultant told them its not a core competency to they just contract it out to the lowest bidder which is C2000.

Only if you pay extra for it, which Google won't have, they'll have paid for next working day. Pretty sure this question came up with the December orders and those who had them shipped Friday got them Monday.
Sorry if I'm wrong though, I hope I am really. Edit - Which I may be based on the above reply, though maybe that's because its a redelivery?

2 Day Delivery???????
Hmmmmmmm. Not quite is it.

From another forum based on last time the nexus 4 were dispatched.
FACT: Choosing to link your device or not during checkout has ZERO impact on your delivery
FACT: Assuming you are in mainland UK, your location has ZERO impact on your ship date (if TNT get lost finding you that's unrelated)
FACT: Ordering 2 seconds before the next guy does not mean you will receive your order before him/her.
FACT: The guys at the airport in Korea are not loading phones one by one by hand while looking at who ordered at what precise second and minute in the day. Likewise, the guys at the airport in the UK won't be doing that, nor will TNT. It will be in a batch.
FACT: If you didn't receive your phone today, it doesn't mean you will never ever receive it
FACT: You all purchased under the assumption delivery will be in two weeks time, worst case. It has been just 1 day and a lot of people are already moaning - "i ordered a product with a 2 week shipping estimate and it's been 1 day and i still haven't received it, google sucks" -> sounds ridiculous.
Credit to the person who wrote those fact. I am just sharing my readings here.
I agree with him about the last fact but we all turn back to kids when we pressed that "Order now" button yesterday. Can4t wait to play with our new toy even knowing that it takes at least 2/3 days in average to receive anything ordered from internet. And yet we (me first) all complain and keep on hitting refresh on all those opened tabs (google store, email, this webpage ...) :smirk:

31 Jan 131#668
Same here but i noticed changing the language on google (bottom line on your order history) will also change your order status slightly.
In UK english i also get "delivered" althought my tnt track number isn't recognised yet.(I presume that means my phone isn't in the possession of tnt yet)
In US english the status is changed to "shipped"
In French the status would be "shipped" as well if I translate. and not "delivered"
Same in German and Spanish.
Hope that helps. I think the most important thing is the tnt track number and what's the actual status on tnt tracking page is.

Thanks!! Reassuring, had it before where a courier states delivered but had nothing through - they left it with a neighbour with no card!
Love how things have been lost in translation between US and UK :smiley:
Here's hoping tomorrow then, I was expecting 2 weeks! Winner!

31 Jan 13#670
Yeah - mine is being delivered tomorrow
boo - nobody is going to be in when it is
Does anyone know what TNT usually do when nobody is in? Will I be able to collect it from them on Saturday morning? Or will I have to rearrange a delivery slot for next week?
When I got my Nexus 10 I got a shipping email at 11pm and I've heard of people getting them at 3am so it could be any time!

You can cancel - it's at the bottom of the order receipt email. Out of interest why do you want to cancel, I'm also considering it?

What are the chances Google will drop the prices/increase the storage at MWC?
sunnygilluk
31 Jan 13#680
You can't cancel. I tried by the link and through google play. They just send you an email saying the phones have already been shipped to the distributor and they are sorry. And that you have to refuse delivery and then you get your refund two weeks later. Quite pathetic really.

31 Jan 13#681

sunnygilluk
31 Jan 13#683
Yup here's the email
Hi,
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window. There are a couple of options now:
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SHIPPING ADDRESS-
If you (or a known acquaintance) are able to access the shipping address, your package is scheduled to arrive there. If you no longer want the package, you can refuse the unopened package from the shipper and Google will issue you a refund. You can read the instructions for refusing delivery for your location below.
In the UK and Australia:
If your device has not yet been delivered, it is en route, and you may be able to REFUSE DELIVERY (see instructions at bottom of this message). If your device has been delivered, but you would like to return it, please follow the returns process posted at: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411741
REFUSE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Don't open the package. Our shipper will not allow refusal of delivery for opened packages. Leave a prominent note on the door to let our shipping provider know that you're refusing delivery of the package. In some cases our shipping provider has returned packages if their drivers see a note for refusal of delivery. The note should include the following:
- Refuse delivery
- Return to Sender
- Include signature
- Include tracking #
If your package is returned due to refusal of delivery, your order will be cancelled and refunded within 2 weeks.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS-
If your device is being shipped to an address you cannot access, please reply to this email and we will work on trying to contact the shipper about the change of address. We cannot guarantee that we can stop shipment for your order.
Thanks for reading through this email- please feel free to reply if you have any questions, and a member of the Google Play Support team will be in touch with you shortly.
Regards,
The Google Play Support team

4 week till any anouncement, then how many weeks or months till any new phone is going to be available to buy. Not to mention the price of those devices. (Experia Z already anounced to be available 1st march but @ ~ £550/600 !! S4 is rumoured to be available in may the soonest and will probably be around the £500 tag)
By then I will be playing with my lovely Nexus 4 @ £280 Cheers !

Yeah, well I would mainly be waiting to see if Google do something similar with the Nexus 4 as they did with the Nexus 7: increase storage and reduce price on lower models.
I just wish Google had sorted the stock out at first, as I desperately wanted the device back in November, but now I just don't feel the same buzz for it.

What was the point in ordering in the first place? and you ordered two? WTF..
Its people like you that **** me off, order because its a 'Hot deal' on the say so of a website and not because you actually want it. Or consider making a profit for the sake of a couple of quid. pfft..

I ordered 2 as my order froze and I didn't appear to go through (as many people did if you read the full thread). I've since thought about my need for one already having an S3 and I don't need it. I had no intention of making a profit, hence the reason I said yesterday I would be returning it. Besides which what I do with my hard earned money has naff all to do with you.

No change in delivery from 1 to 2 Weeks Well over a day later. Looks like tons of supply and might be permanent stock after first surge. Lots of quad phones some under £150. 2 well reviewed ones at £100 to be released soon. I even found one at £85 delivered. I am waiting for a couple, good brands, already released under £200 with better resolution than this phone. Actually two notches up better than this at 1920x1080

To the people are receiving phones/confirmation emails: where abouts do you live? I reckon that in more populated areas, items will be shipped out faster as the couriers will be able to be more efficient, whereas in the less populated areas, couriers may wait for more things waiting to be sent before shipping the phones. Just a theory! haha

It's a crazy distribution system. They must just randomly pick names from the list of whose ordered instead of doing it first come first served. People who ordered within the first few hours may end being one of the last to get them.
It doesn't seem to be done by area as my friends a few doors down the road who ordered at 11pm last night got his dispatch email at 6pm today while I have had no dispatch email despite my order being put through at 3.30pm.
I Don't mind the wait if they did all the dispatches in the order they were received.:stuck_out_tongue:

Wow i really hope Google don't refund delivery charges to all these people saying they will refuse delivery. You purchased a product that specifically stated a 1-2 week wait, if you weren't willing to wait you shouldn't have ordered! Even better would be charging a nice restocking fee on top to prevent this kind of behavior in future.
I really feel sorry for UK business having to put up with the attitudes of consumers in this thread.

It would almost be better if I weren't reading this thread.

Mine didn't track until just now - got my email at 22.30 last night. Although the tracking is pretty useless, just says it's at the Byfleet depot but doesn't indicate when it'll be delivered so guess I'll just wait in. I'm sure it'll be worth the wait :smile: Ordered at 18.10 on Wednesday so I'm happy with the service from Google so far.
Now to choose a case. Any suggestions on a case that will protect my phone while it's sloshing around in my handbag? There are so many around but I need something that'll protect the screen too. Maybe a screen protector with the Poetic Borderline case? Or maybe this leather one
Kenneth131
1 Feb 13#763
Yeah it does. Sometimes the device will be delivered before the tracking returns any info as TNT reuse tracking numbers so it could also return info completely unrelated to your delivery. If your going to be out best to give TNT a phone. Give them the tracking number and see if the local depot has it and when delivery will be

bigpappa
1 Feb 131#778
People are irate as it seems phoens are sent out willy nilly with no regard as to when one ordered it. Google has no idea when a phone will be sent out. It's just plain ridiculous and then on top they charge £9.99 for delivery when you are getting a second rate service.
Mark43 to bigpappa
1 Feb 13#780
Forget how quickly others are getting them, its still within the 2 week estimate. This is nothing like the screw up with the December orders, and I would imagine the 99% of people who aren't reading sites like this are blissfully unaware of others getting the device quicker than estimated.
M_z to bigpappa
1 Feb 13#782
£9.99 isn't very good value, I'll give you that one. But, when you bought your phone - did it say that phones would:
(a) be delivered on a strictly first-come-first-served basis
(b) 1 to 2 weeks
?
If it said (a) then fair enough, be irate, if it said (b), then Google is doing exactly what you signed up for unless it gets to two weeks and you don't have it.

lol.....TNT just delivered mine (ordered at about 2pm yesterday). The courier said he normally has about 40-50 drops per day but yesterday and today he's got over 200 (60 of em left over from yesterday)...... LMAO

I am happy that you got your delivery within 24 hours whilst the rest of us who ordered first wait. Any chance you can provide your order number as Google CS are saying its not possible orderes placed later are sent out first.

I'll explain this again for people like M_z who cannot grasp the idea of a queuing system. How would you feel if when you're doing your weekly Tesco shopping and your next then the checkout girl beckons the person at the end of the queue to be served next. Bet you wouldn't be too pleased. So when your biting at everyone who dares complain think about this M_z. (yes i was one of the many people you bit at)
you_gotta_be_kidding to dodgydave69
1 Feb 131#787
I'm with you 100%... Regardless of the 1-2 estimate they should be shipped in order.
That said I am happy cos I got mine
That said again, maybe your card flagged a security risk, maybe the couriers are overwhelmes in your area, maybe they just don't like your name (dodgy is an odd first name)
M_z to dodgydave69
1 Feb 13#804
I get why you are annoyed, there is a natural order of things that suggests a queue, first-come-first-served. But if Google say they will deliver in 1-2 weeks, and you sign up to that, then you cant accuse Google of failing to do what it said - until 2 weeks are up.
I bought mine a few minutes after 3pm and I'd like my phone to have been delivered yesterday too, but as I signed up to 2 weeks, I wont throw a hissy fit until two weeks are up. :smiley:

That would be really annoying, then again if I ordered my groceries online and they turned up within the quoted time scale I'd be fine.

Just a thought but givewn the courier is under pressure maybe they control orders by postcode also so the couriers don't get overwhelmed in certain areas?

Did anyone have this odd info from TNT re delivery? The consignment number and TNT are now on my shipment status page, but when I track it with TNT I get:
For more information about this consignment, please call our Call Centre free on 0800 100 600
When I rang, they are unable to locate it. Please advise
you_gotta_be_kidding to smitha
1 Feb 13#793
It means it's been manifested (ie details passed from google to TNT) but hasn't actually left the warehouse yet. In otherwords you aint gettin it today
you_gotta_be_kidding
1 Feb 13#790
£9.99 may seem a lot but my company ships around 150 parcels per day. I use parcelforce and pay £4.15 + VAT per parcel, having shopped around and negotiated a lot I can tell you that's a good rate. BUT it only has £50 compensation. If google want their phones covering to the value of the phone then they will be looking closer to the £10 mark. TNT for a next day service for our volumes was arond £7 per parcel, not competative at all.

It says 2 day delivery - so that IS today, plus it depends on the Courier shipment points and collection schedules.

Anyone noticed any camera rattling/buzzing earpieces/backlight bleed yet?
I suffered from all three with three different handsets and gave up in the end but I hope none of you have to deal with this.
Kenneth131
1 Feb 13#803
the camera will rattle. All phones using the new sensors will. The lens is cushioned by a spring to allow for more stable pictures. So when you shake it your forcing the lens to bounce up and down. Try it with an Iphone 5 etc. All the same.
No backlight bleed and not anything noticeable from the earpiece. I would like to see tighter buttons though they are "loose" feeling compared to some other phones.
I know its no issue though as its the same method samsung and many manufacturers are using for volume rockers just now. Hey ho.
All in all really nice phone
tom6195
1 Feb 13#805
It is a fantastic phone.
Unfortunately 2 of my 3 handsets suffered from this awful earpeice problem whereby you couldnt have it on full volume as it would just sound too crackly and distorted the only way to fix it was to turn it down but then you can't hear the other person. It also emitted this constant buzzing noise whether in-call or not.
The one good handset had terrible backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen so any dark backgrounds and you'd be put off.
Aside from that I loved this phone but for now will swap to an iphone 5 and wait for the nexus 5.
dodgydave69
1 Feb 13#806
I just hope TNT can find my house. Even though its about 100 years old the street name is not on any map and the sign is hidden by a tree. Fingers crossed he/she has been here before. Most expensive phone i've ever bought so i hope i don't drop it.

Can people stop complaining. It say 1-2 weeks and they probably do have a system in place. If your not happy, then don't order the phone. It is cheap and you should be happy that google are getting orders out. At least google have stock.
devlee
1 Feb 13#812
I agree with fizzy; its not like we have not been waiting since December for the phone we all want - we can wait another couple of weeks;
btw - mines coming today :smile:

1 Feb 13#813
So after first denying orders are sent out willy nilly I emailed them an order number to confirm this was happening. Google response.
"Thank you for your reply.
I've forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you come across any other information that you'd like to pass along, please feel free to reply to this email.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding."
So no I am not going to stop until they sort their order management system out.

I ordered 4.30pm 30th Jan.
It just said being Processed. After mailing they said will be delivered by the 13th Feb. Well within the timeline I agreed to.
What is odd is people getting them very quickly. I am having my delivered to London, which you would have thought should of had a large amount allocated to it.
If people order and get something the next day fair play. I only bought the phone as I'm tired of my HTC Sensation XE. I can use it for 2 more weeks without kicking off at Google. If people are that unhappy go to Apple. They have lovely phones that are slower, locked down and cost more. Quit whining and just get on with it. :man:

Am I the only one who has not had there nexus 4 dispatched? Ordered at 3.09pm as soon as it was on play store and it sounds like those who ordered 5 hours or more later are getting theirs already today. Google should have a first come first served order system! anyone that tells me to stop moaning or it will come in 2 weeks can go do one!

To be honest (and at the risk of being slated) if you don't have the common sense to decide if you need something before spending £239/279 on something before buying it on impulse maybe them forcing you to pay the postage might make you think twice in future.
I would also like to know what people are useing that is not the offical one, possibly one from amazon?

Got the delivery email early this morning but the TNT tracking number is not working. Anyone has the same problem?

It may well do, however I'll argue the toss. I only ordered one but googles awful checkout made it appear the 1st transaction never went through, So I'll happily take the loss on one but not two. Saying that one has been (attempted) delivered the 2nd still has not been despatched and they were ordered within 30 secs of each other. Crazy how these are being distributed.

Unless this is something I haven't heard of, this only works in Canada.
The guy in the 2nd video implies he's from Canada too.

First pair ordered 15:03 - Still 13th Feb Deliver
Second pair ordered 15:07 Still 13th Feb Deliver
Third pair, ordered 15:15 here today.
Work that out..
I suspect somewhere in the TNT warehouse someone has knocked over a huge stack of delivery orders and is now working through them in the order they re-stacked them.
Mate who ordered when he got home so post 1800, also has his today!
No way of working out their order process.

I know you can argue that at first we were all expecting 1-2 week delivery, but the fact is they clearly have plenty of stock and they just aren't processing the orders in a fair way. All that and they charge you £10 for the luxury!

sync your old contacts to google contacts (if you can)
sign in to your new phone with the same google account and your contacts should re-appear. I have been using this since Android 1.6 -this is the best way to go.

Your order is processed shortly after your purchase is complete. Included in this succession of the order process, your order is reviewed for security purposes and your payment method is authorized for the charges before an actual charge is made.

I ordered at 15:25pm, annoyingly people who ordered around the exact same time as me have already received it! I know I'm impatient, but if it was in stock, why hasn't it been dispatched yet.

Ive been following this thread from the beggining trying to figure it out, i ordered at 15:07. 7 Minutes after it was available. Its not limited to Areas that has been established as someone had one delivered and someone down the road didnt, it makes no difference if its 16gb or 8gb as they are both being shipped. I just dont understand it. I might aswell order another one ill probably have more chance of receiving it tommorow than the one i ordered 7 minutes after availability!

i ordered my n4 16 gb at 1523 on the 30th.....still pending no dispatch email......really f### me off that people who ordered after me have recieved already.
why is the dispatching of orders so random if they are in stock. its like queing at the post office and everyone else getting served before you !!

1 Feb 13#929
Amen, I order an 8GB at 16:49 on the 30th and its SERIOUSLY annoying that people who ordered on the 31st have received them already... people can say thats stupid or pathetic but im sure anyone who has bought one and not got it yet feels exactly the same.
Especially considering i've waited 3 months already!

This is what i was looking at, had a look into it but 4G @ EE uses 1800mhz band but the nexus 4 seems to only have 1700mhz and 2100mhz... GUTTED

Just a quick update having read folks comments on ordering during the day and not having recieved yey... i ordered the 16gb version + bumper case at around 7pm on Weds 30th... delivered first thing this morning by TNT... in warwickshire. I did already have a google play store account and wallet set up from when i bought the nexus 7 when it first came out which might have sped the process up a bit?
sputty02
1 Feb 13#933
And he was right, they did start sending emails from 6pm onwards... thats when comp2000 pass consignments on to TNT and send out dispatch emails. People need to just be patient, they will have some sort of system but none of us know it and everyone was well informed it could be up to 2 weeks.
EDIT: Ordered mine yesterday at 11am and no dispatch notice, so no not everyone who ordered yesterday has theirs. Just open a bottle of wine and enjoy your Friday night, posting on here every 2 minutes wont speed it up.

CEX still giving £344, took it to store and within an hour I had made £50 profit. I was prepared to wait two weeks so can wait a little longer so ordered another. Interestingly, the estimated dispatch date is still 13th February for the second order

The "Date" field just changed on the live items to today's date. Still no visible updates elsewhere, but maybe it is in the process of being shipped or passed to the courier.

I am so confused dont know if I should go for Nexus 4 or Samsung galaxy S3!!!! I have had the same phone for 3 years and have held back (I know I am in a minority) from samsung/iphones for as long as I could but desperately need to upgrade to a better handset now. Really cant make my mind up any advice guys?

CampGareth to Claudia5
1 Feb 13#955
They have radically different UIs so go to a store to check that out, otherwise, they're both flagship so you should be happy with either but the S3 with a microSD slot is probably better if you keep all your stuff on your phone all the time and don't have a great data plan, the nexus 4 is better on price and should get software updates more quickly. My recommendation is go off and do some research, impulse purchases of this size are regrettable.
sunnygilluk to Claudia5
1 Feb 13#957
I have an S3, Had it since it came out, Love it, Great phone. I find that the extra storage is nice to have but i never use it. If u have loads of music etc to store in the phone and movies its handy. And i have 2 batteries and an external charger for it, which is handy if u run out of battery.......but even so, all these months on, i find those 2 advantages on the S3 aren't that important to me. And im abit bored of it .........(Even though its a fantastic phone) - Even though the S3 has 1GB ram i still find myself having to kill processes and apps and freeze them to stop it from feeling sluggish eventually. If your a light user its fine. The Nexus is Faster in all benchmarks and has more RAM which is really handy if u install a lot of apps with processes. So im going to sell my S3 and upgrade to this for free basically. But as i said take in the positives of each and see if they are important to you.

Ordered 30th @ 3.07, 16gb. Order status only changed mildly earlier on the wallet page to 'google commerce have received your order' as of today... Today?! I ordered it on the 30th!
Wouldn't surprise me if as someone previously mentioned that whether you had a play account before or not makes a difference, would be interesting to see if those who have or havent received them had an account prior to ordering.

I have a samsung mini android and have saved all my contacts to my sd card as a vcf file - will i be able access them as I don't think the Nexus 4 takes sd cards?
Mark43 to juneoates1
1 Feb 13#1006
You could import the contacts into the contacts section on your gmail account, they will then be available on your new phone. However I think you can only import CSV or vCard, I don't know much about these different formats but did a quick Google search and there looks to be lots of easy ways to convert a vcf file to one of these formats.
Hope this helps.
bigdaf1 to juneoates1
1 Feb 13#1064
Just sync your contacts on the phone with your email provider. With gmail, its a very simple process. Once you pop the sim in your new phone sync it again and all your contacts should be on the handset. It should not take a couple of minutes to sync all the contacts on your phone.

Google CS aside, if someone is selling a phone of this calibre at this price surely that is a tremendous deal? The same issue occurred when the Nexus 7 came out, and so many people missed the point then. If something is better value than the norm, regardless of how it's price is derived, then it is a deal!

sbirsen
1 Feb 13#1013
My local CEX didn't have enough cash (they said), so I am considering sending it in to them instead.
When sending the Nexus to CEX, would it be safer to open the box first and take pics (but not take the phone out), rather than sending it sealed ? I guess for CEX it doesn't make a difference if it is sealed or not, they're going to open it anyway, no ?
Although I like to think people are trustworthy, without any proof such as picture, CEX could claim that the sealed box actually contained no phone / just a dummy phone etc ?
m.ad to sbirsen
1 Feb 13#1027
I had the last of the cash from my store, Grade A and I had opened the box but left the plastic covers on everything, so opening it shouldn't affect value...

I could be wrong on this (perhaps someone can advise), but I don't believe a hold on your credit card means that it's been blocked or anything of that nature. I believe it has something do with them placing a reserve on the card. If you look at your card limit and available limit they should show a reduction of the cost of the Nexus 4, however you haven't actually been charged yet.

I had a look at mine and it's now showing as a pending transaction for £288.98 rather than just a hold or deduction from the credit limit.

how would you do this?
Rossmor40
1 Feb 13#1039
I think you are right about the meaning of hold however the funds were showing as reserved/held on my credit card since a few hours after I ordered on the 30th so a change of date could also mean the orders are being processed.
Rossmor40
1 Feb 13#1040
You'd need to call your card company as the online systems won't update until 2am. I'd call mine but I can't be bothered speaking to India at this time on a Friday night.

Someone over on xda picked his up on a Saturday
I received a shipping email earlier therefore hoping its at the local depot in the morning for pick-up
wow, surprised by that! thought they had that issue sorted! US still has stock though
cmehul
1 Feb 13#1047
hmm well, had a think, and realised the hold has been on the funds, as my balance reflected this straight after I purchased. It has not taken the money out of the a/c however as it doesn't show up as a transaction yet.
Only explanation is that the hold only affects the order date a few days after you've put the order through - and its only the unlucky ones who notice this as they are waiting, whereas the lucky ones dont check as theyve already got their devices.
JuddyB
1 Feb 13#1048
I am probably the only user on the forum to experience this issue. Let me explain, I live in the Isle of Man and due to this fact it makes the phone I just received earlier practically useless. Google has blacklisted all ips address on the island blocking access to the Google Play store for paid apps. I didn't know this before purchase, how could I?! However more irritatingly I cannot even use the Google "Music Manager" to sync any music! Because you need to sign into the program on your PC, which Google has blocked...
I have done a little research and the bypass is using a VPN, downside being very slow and having to adjust settings each time it is required. On Manx forums other manx people who purchased the Nexus 7, on-island too! Had the same problems with the Play Store.

Ordered the 16gb version two days ago but decided to cancel today and keep my S3, as the delivery date was still set for Feb 13th; after cancelling I got an email tonight saying it can't be cancelled as it's on it's way, even though my account still states it isn't with no tracking info etc.
The only thing I can think of is that cancelling it might possibly fast track the order, just in case customers decide to keep it when it turns up.

I refused delivery of a Nexus 7 last year because the box was battered, it took me 7 weeks to get a refund and then it only went through because after countless fruitless e mails and phone calls to Google i got my credit card company involved.

Poor service really for such a big company; £9.99 for delivery is a total rip off when they don't even tell you when it will arrive or give you any tracking info.

Just got of the phone to google play and the guy says the order has been shipped to TNT, Problem was i was not in this morning "still have not had dispatched info btw" do you think they tried to deliver, many people said they had theres delivered before they got a dispatch email and second thing would they have left a sorry we missed you card? I really want to call TNT tomorrow but obviously don't have a tracking number as on record it has not been dispatched even though TNT have the order, would they be able to track by name and address?

Will tnt deliver on saturdays ? I ordered on wednesday bang on 3 , dispatch email early this morning , status says "please call"
I live in crawley and it says the phone is in their crawley depo, but that status hasnt changed all day.
So im hoping tomorow .....

They gave me a tracking code on google wallet but according to that it says it was delivered in November sometime which is clearly an error and not the correct code for my delivery. The delivery service for that tracking code also clearly states "Saturday Delivery" so they most definitely deliver on saturdays.
Also for some strange reason when I click the tracking code written in the email it says "not found"

I too ordered on Wednesday 3.03PM. yesterday date changed to 31-Jan, today it changed to 1-Feb. But all these happened on oogle play account page, and not on google wallet page as most of you saying, there it is still showing 30 Jan and pending. Confused..
One more query where you all are seeing estimated delivery of 13th Feb?
My google play page status: pre-order
Clicking on the info takes to google wallet, there were no estimated delivery date, just showing you placed order on 30th with google commerce ltd..
Any help?

Hello Matt,
Thank you for contacting us today.
I have consulted with Rashmi to find an update on the status of your order. It seems your order was escalated twice already and we estimate that the shippers will be able to push it through by the end of today. If you have not received any shipping information by tomorrow, please send me an email and I will follow up with a new update on the status of your order.

Seems a bit of a lottery. I ordered Thursday at 1.30pm (credit card validation page froze for ages so I eventually refreshed it and then it went through). Phone arrived arrived Friday at 11am. Commiserations to the people that have been left out, 'tis a lovely phone. Also seems to have protectors in place front and back, not the usual ones that you obviously have to pull off, these seem like normal screen protectors that you'd stick on yourself.

I doubt you'll get it today as ordered 2 on separate days and checked the first one on TNT site,stated 'shipment in transit' first,then 'arrived at XXXX depot' then 'out for delivery' and I bloody missed it.Re-arranged for weds but the 2nd one is still 'In transit' so I reckon it's on it's way to your local depot. Good luck though!

Ordered Wednesday 15:22 with link to account unticked as the phone is not for me. No bumper ordered and still no update since they 'received my order'.
As it's for valentines I'm not tooooo fussed but do feel a bit annoyed with the way they deal with their orders and it's very unprofessional and unfair. If I was few years younger, I would have been very very very upset...
Someone needs to raise a page on Facebook or something to document all these inconsistencies, so it exposes their ordering and stock dispatching flaws more effectively....

Ordered exactly at 15:00 on Wednesday, arrived last night at about 21:00! Ignore the 'Out for delivery' hours as TNT are so busy they are working until about 22:00 to get them delivered! That's what the courier said anyway. Spent ages applying a Spigen Ultra Oleophobic screen protector, the phone looks awesome and is extremely fast. One thing I love is that it comes preloaded with Chrome (Which I was expecting) so web browsing is lovely! I hope you guys get your Nexus' soon, as I was worried I wouldn't get it until next week - where I am away Tuesday - Friday. Plus my nearest TNT depot is in Nuneaton which is an hour drive from me! :disappointed:

I got a tracking screen similar to Bomster above now, after getting my shipped email last night at 9:30 (Leics depot). So fingers crossed for a Saturday delivery.
Still nothing showing online for my CC bill, but apparently this is normal, as it will only update overnight.

Or have they covered it already?
JayDubya
2 Feb 13#1118
BTW - those being unsuccessful with their tracking via the link in the Wallet email - that probably does not work as they've linked a REFERENCE number tracking as a CONSIGNMENT number. Copy the number, start tracking afresh (important as changing the option on the screen does not work) and paste in the number. Select REFERENCE instead of CONSIGNMENT, and it may work.
TNT do not deliver on saturdays and I cannot go to the depot as its been loaded onto the vehicle already.

I effing ordered at 9 minutes passed 3pm on the 30th when the device went on to the playstore and have not even received a dispatch email while others who ordered hours/ a day later have already got them in their hands. What makes it worse is some of those who have got them being delivered are refusing delivery because they changed there mind or they are taking them to cex! Arrrrrrrrrrrrgh flipping annoying.

Add me to your complaint but don't waste your energy with their CS support email as they emailed back with the usual templates with no real action or indeed an apology. Facebook or Watchdog or email to real high up at Google would be more useful, I think.

Ordered on Wednesday 30th at 3.30pm and getting delivery on Monday 4th. Whilst others who ordered on Thursday had deliveries yesterday. It's a complete joke especially as those that ordered late many are only interested in pawning the phone off.
Google way to go to peeve off your customers.
Sending an email to CS is pointless they responsd with the same reply.
The phone is cheap but so is the customer service. Would glaldy pay more for the phone if it mean they had a proper order management system and decent customer service reps.

The only thing is that you couldn't cancel your order now even if you wanted to which is another frustrating thing.
The order "system" that Google use seems to becoming more prevelant with retailers. I recently ordered MS points for the X360 from Tesco after seeing a deal on here. I ordered them on the 25th Jan and a friend ordered on the 27th. He has them and I don't and i get an email saying they won't be back in stock till 6th Feb so this daft random fulfilment system is obviously in use elsewhere.

If this goes to show anything is how we all value fairness. Google have been very unfair in the manor of which they have dispatched this highly desired phone and it shows a complete lack of respect for their customers. I've no doubt I will get it in their specified time frame which is all they are obliged to do, however we want answers as to why so many of us who ordered so soon after it came back into stock are waiting, whereas some who ordered a day later have received theirs!

Ordered mine on Wednesday around 7pm and it was delivered Friday around 2pm. Mine is a 16gb. Pretty chuffed because I was happy to wait the 1-2 weeks it initially gave me :smile:
The phone itself is nice, after 6 years of iPhone, Android is a nice change. The build quality doesnt feel as good but I cant justify paying double for another iPhone, especially when Apple aren't seemingly able to keep up with the times..

Yet another, god damn it... you're lucky. I think I should probably get off the internet before I break something.
They very clearly put the dispatch time as 1-2 weeks because they knew this would happen and nobody can say anything because its well ahead of schedule.

after nexus 4 coming back in stock, i decided to to get one myself, a 16gb model ( will get back to that later )
ordered mine at half 3 on the 30th got all the emails on thurs. etc meant to get it delivered on friday by TNT had to take a day off, apparently ' I wasn't at home at around 5pm' after a few calls and another 'attempted' delivery had them deliver it today (live in london btw)and i got it, was buzzing its such a good phone and then i clocked its an 8gb model -.- so now im waiting for a replacement, we will see how it goes lol
advice for everyone still waiting if you're getting it from TNT go b**** and call your local depot to get it asap, the offical tnt people wanted to delay it until next wed.

Got mine yesterday and ill admit it and probably get flamed for it but was gonna ebay/sell it for a bit of profit seeing as its january lol
However i opened it up and must say its a fantastic looking phone and im really impressed with 4.2 jelly bean too,ive always been an iphone guy but im really considering selling my iphone 5 and keeping this phone.Some of the newer features of jelly bean are great and its making ios6 seem really stale and old in comparison.Plus the bigger screen is great too compared to the iphone 5
Yeah its a bit expensive but tbh its still cheaper than the bumper (which I would have got but its bulky).... shame it covers up the beautiful back though :/

What are some of the newer features of jelly bean exactly? I have to admit I've never really noticed much difference from Honeycomb to Gingerbread to Jelly Bean they all look the same to me, I'm sure I must be missing something but as far as I can tell they all have screens you can swipe between and apps and widgets you can put on those screens and that's pretty much it isn't it?

It looks good dont get me wrong, but I have many problems with "cheap" unbranded cases, I mean I had 3 different ones for my HTC EVO 3D and none of them fit right, chargers not fitting in the holes and such. Also, gel cases like this tend to impact use and practicality, for example I have a philips as351 android speaker dock and its cannot be used with a case like this or that the screen on the N4 is curved but these gel cases kinda seem to defeat the point of the screen curve
Just my thinking
zermattbusby
2 Feb 13#1197
Looks nice... although I find with these hard cases tend to do more harm than good, ie the hard plastic rubs on the surface / edges and starts to scratch
personally I prefer a two peice soft silicone inner and hard shell outer but difficult to find for the N4 a bit like the CaseMate Tough galaxy S2
Just took my two n4s to cex Southampton they didn't have the cash so said they'll test it and the money should go in my account 3-5 days.

Another reason I generally avoid cheap unbranded cases, the reasons are endless tbh. the thing with silicone skins it they're a pain in the ass when taking the phone in and out of the pocket... yet i dont want something bulky either!

First Order: 30 January 2013 15:15:55 UTC, Shipped on 31st, Arrived 1st Feb 9AM.
Second Order: 1 February 2013 13:32:40 UTC, Not shipped (although my card has been either charged or the money are on hold because they are not available.)
My mate ordered 5 minutes before me and hasn't got his (not even shipped), so this is kinda **** up.

I order 5:08 on Wednesday, my orders page now shows orders on both the 30th and 1st, both with the same order number and shipping date. I phoned Google play, hopeless man didn't tell me anything new but just said it's the hold on funds and Barclays said Google have not requested the money yet and it's still on hold.
Hurry up Google, I want my phone!

The official bumper was out of stock when I ordered the nexus 4. Have decided to go for the poetic atmosphere case, brought from amazon.
Do TNT deliver on Saturdays? It was due to be delivered yesterday but nobody was around... (Still in bed :P).
Will it be re-delivered today or not? Doesn't say anything about it in the tracking info. Says "Shipment received at destination depot" as of 21:06 last night... I guess it will arrive on Monday now.

2 Feb 13#1214
That probably means that you'll get your shipped email tonight. Same for me yesterday, date changed in Wallet transaction but no descriptive change.
TNT tracked this morning to say its out on the van. No sign of it as yet today though.
That said, I did see a hire van speed down my street, turn around as if lost before speeding out. What chance it was conscripted by TNT...

I ordered mine yesterday lunchtime. Have an email that says 'Estimated Ship - 1-2 weeks'. When I go to the Goolge Wallet it still shows as 'Pending'. Is this normal for everyone, is there any chance it will come earlier, and is it still possible that the order will get cancelled? Been trying for ages to get this! My bank account looks like the money has come out, but why does it still say pending? So confused!

Sounds pretty normal. Nothing will change in Wallet until its with the courier. Then you'll get a shipment email and Wallet will say it's "delivered" - over to TNT tracking. Money is random, may show in your account, may not. Mine is apparently "on the van" but no money showing as being taken. Payment is noted as being taken in Wallet.

I live in Harrogate so not far myself. Couriers will deliver on Saturdays if you pay for Saturday delivery. Google haven't. They paid Express which is 2 day delivery not a special Saturday delivery. *Most* deliveries look like they will be made on Monday but for some reason the odd one or two look like they have been done today according to other posters.

Hi all - related question - I went ahead and ordered a case for the phone. The one that has turned up is labeled as being for the HTC One X. Do you think the seller has got it wrong, or that the same case would fit both phones? It's a pull cord style one and I'm thinking as the phones as similar in size this could be for both. However, the product description online didn't mention this. I've contacted the seller through Amazon, but thought I could get some views here quicker. It's this case - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Leather-Xylo-Pouch-Case-Cover/dp/B009YV8HRY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1359832764&sr=8-1
Also ordered 30th Jan at 19.15.
16gb and arrived 1st Feb am

Does anyone know how to get more out of the battery in the N4? Whilst I understand that it's a powerful processor with a large screen I just can't seem to get even a day out of it without having to charge it, and that's not really doing much either. I went to bed last night with 100% charge and woke up this morning with 68% charge. I've done the following…
- Turned off location services (although Maps still appears to want to keep on running!)
- Installed Juice Defender
- Have the display on Auto setting.
Looking at it now it's on 57% with 8hr49mins of battery use and of that the main items on the list are Screen 24% (44mins on), Android 18%, Phone Idle 15%, WiFi 14%, Mobile Standby 12%.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Loving the phone but if it can't hold a day's charge i.e. if I'm out and about then it looks like I'll have to go back to the old iPhone 4 (I do realise that I'm not going to get the same amount of battery time on the N4)
Lottiebird
3 Feb 13#1275
Nope, not on mine.
Anyone else find the camera horrendous? I'm really annoyed that a current phone can produce such poor quality pictures. my old Sony c905, k810i, and the iPhone 4s take far better pictures. I have a digital camera but it's nice to be able to take a picture on your phone. This phone is not capable of taking a picture.
cof17942
3 Feb 13#1276
I ordered an 8Gb at 15:47 on the 30th and it is still 'Pending'. Like others, the date in Google Play has changed to Feb 1st. I called Google yesterday and was told to expect it some time next week.

Sent various strong emails, same reply each time. Asked why those who placed around the launch are still waiting, he put it down to the length it takes banks to process... For all of us? I think not.
Asked why those who ordered after have received theirs already, they just ignored it.
Will have to see what the next response is, if they get me one, haha.
Have seen the possible issues with the camera, isn't it supposed to be due to the o/s currently rather than the handset itself?

3 Feb 13#1281
Are you constantly playing with it? I've had a good day so far out of a full charge with normal use. I could see the screen draining the battery quite fast though. Plus I've been on wi fi most of the time too.
I turned NFC off as it isn't needed, tweaked a few of the sync settings to my liking too. Currently I'm on 24 hours since the last charge, still have 60% of the battery left.
greencode
3 Feb 13#1282
That's just it, I'm not playing with it much at all. I've just turned off NFC so we'll see how that goes. It's one of those times where you wish you had two of the same phone to see if I've actually got a faulty unit.
steve019
3 Feb 13#1283
Do you have GPS on? That seemed to be enabled by default and if you're using it for location services them google now is just going to drain your battery, as well as everything else.
How about email? How often does it check? You may find tweaking lots of the settings might end up in giving you a huge gain, and those tweaks are against things you don't really care about.
jk12324
3 Feb 13#1284
It is expensive, but I don't see why it matters that it's 'third party'. Rearth has made a lot of cases and is well known in the US, they've just never directly sold them to the UK. I'd happily pay for this over the 'official' bumper any day.

E-mailed google to ask 2 questions, why later orders were being delivered before first orders, and why orders are being changed from 30th Jan to 1st Feb. Just got a generic e-mail back that my order is due in the 13th. Not answering my question, I replied asking for answers to the 2 questions again. Plus the fact that we're all being charged for 1-2 days delivery and later orders are actually receiving this service, whereas others are still being made to wait 2 weeks, and this is what I got;
"Hi Dookie,
Thanks for contacting us. I'm unable to share details or comment on other customer's orders. I want to assure you that it is our goal to deliver orders in the order they are received.
If there is anything else I can assist you with please let me know by directly replying to this email or by visiting our help center.
Thanks,

My point wasn't really that it is third party hence bad, but that usually third party cases are cheaper not more expensive then official ones. Compared to the 4-5 quid one posted earlier, there is not much of a difference.

Same sort of reply I got regarding processing time however my bank told me the payment processed right away so someone's telling lies as there has been people on this thread saying they have got their phones and no payment has been taken yet. if their banks has processed the payment faster it would be showing in their accounts right now. I think basically Google just have a stupid ordering system and they are just making excuses. It's not been a great experience ordering from Google so I won't be doing it again. Say what you like about Apple but their customer service(in their shops anyway) is 100 times better than Google.

Email CS is pointless they will only repond with the same response ie they don't know what is going on. Calling them won't be mcuh different.
The head og Google Play in the UK should be fired -it's as simple as that unless heads roll and someone takes ownership of this issue nothing will change for the better.
That's googles head but not anywhere does it say supply chain expertise or experience of working in distribution. Knock Apple all you like but at least their current CEO is a supply chain Guru.

This is what I sent to Dan Cobley via google+ today,
3rd Feb 2013
Dear Dan Cobley:
I apologies for escalating my complaint to your level, but my recent unfortunate experience with your company’s customer service teams has left me no recourse but write to you directly regarding this.
As a committed and loyal customers of Google Play, I am totally frustrated by the level of services that I was provided when I ordered the Google Nexus 4 phone last Wednesday. When the Google Nexus 4 phone was back in stock on last Wednesday, me as one of the loyal users of Google products, were among the earliest to order this phone via Google Play. I received an order confirmation and expect the phone to deliver as soon as possible. However, on Friday/Saturday I’ve realized from the internet that a large number of customers who had ordered hours or days later than me have had their phone delivered within 24-48 hours. Yet my order are still in pending with an estimated ship date in mid Feb, and I believe a large number of Google customers are experiencing the same frustrated issue as me.
From what I understand from a customer perspective, orders should be processed and fulfilled in a first come first serve basis, I do not mind if my phone is late as I understand Google’s product are general of huge demand, but what I do mind is the simple first come first serve principle is being obeyed in this instance. This makes me feel that I am treated in a very unfair and unprofessional manner by Google. In addition, I feel completely lack of communication during the process, my enquiries to the Google customer service have provided a less than satisfactory response.
I expected a much higher level of service from your company, and I am quite disappointed. More Google search shows that the issue was concerned by a number of Google customers last November but it looks like it still doesn’t get properly addressed this time. I appreciate your time to read my complaint and I really hope that you can have someone envisage the issue.
Yours Sincerely,
name
Nexus 4 order number:xxx

I wasn't referring to any 4-5 quid cases, I was referring to a specific one, posted in this thread somewhere with a review by someone on XDA which was good. BDW your comment about ports not being accessible/not fitting is simply untrue, I used a 1.99 s line case while waiting for my leather one to arrive and it fit perfectly, and this is not subjective, just have to read reviews on Amazon.

Same here lads! Bought an 8gb at 3.05pm on the day. And heard nothing. Absolute disgrace others have got theirs already. I'm selling my iPhone 5 to get this, and so far I'm not impressed. Although Apple gets slagging on here their service is second to none.

I absolutely despise Apple but I have to agree with you... their service is fantastic and I would have expected Google to be on that level!
Such a shame, yet another brilliant company with such awful customer service.

Blimey... You were all told 1-2 weeks for delivery and not even a weeks gone bye and your complaining to the CEO...
Difficult customers..

Maybe your bank took a while to authorise the payment?
Warnoq
3 Feb 13#1330
Thats completely besides the point, I was fully prepared to wait 1-2 weeks in line with EVERYBODY else... the complaint is the simple fact people who have ordered afterwards, have already got their devices when we were all told 1-2 weeks, If you don't see that as wrong, unprofessional or unfair then there's something certainly wrong in your head.
Need I say, please don't take that as an insult
heydi
3 Feb 13#1331
The point is not late delivery but the first come first serve principle got violated. fairness is more important from a customer prospective.

I'm the same with the N4 coming from a S2, initially disappointed that it wasn't such a big step up that I thought It'd be.
The stock messaging and dialler is oh so bland, press the power button and you don't get the reboot etc, unlike the S2 multi options, although I do like the N4 it just seems lacking. I just might need to put more time into it.

Still no dispatched email even though I ordered within 9 minutes of it coming on the playstore! Complete JOKE! like others I would have been fine waiting 1-2 weeks had it been orders were dispatched all at the same time. But the fact that I ordered before most and those who ordered hours/ a day later got theirs already is completely unfair and unprofessional!
shareef
4 Feb 13#1341
Dude atleast it's not as bad as what happened to people from 4th December like myself, who ordered with 3-5 days estimate and saw our phones sent out to 6-7 weekers!
markh2001
4 Feb 13#1342
That is unfortunate but still does not make my situation or others like me any better! Google should have learned from the November ordeal and yours by changing their ordering system to a first comer first served not what they are using or who they are using at the moment! It's complete ****.
heydi
4 Feb 13#1343

If you got quoted 1-2 weeks, you should wait until the 2 weeks is up before going all out complaining. I was in the bunch last time at Christmas so I understand the frustration of other people getting theirs first. I was in the 1-2 week group last time and had to face 5-6 weekers getting theirs first, at least everyone's been quoted 1-2 weeks this time. In the end, I got mine within the quoted time, albeit literally on the very last day, so I realised that I probably should have just saved all the frustration. I recommend everyone to stop reading this thread, then wait until your 2 weeks is up before coming back on here to check on the situation if you still haven't got yours. This thread sometimes does more bad than good IMO.

4 Feb 13#1348
Just to let you all know, I literally just received the shipping email and its been dispatched. ordered at 16:31 on the 31st

markh2001
4 Feb 13#1361
Im sorry but the responce you have sent me is not satisfactory at all. The shipping estimate has always been 1-2 weeks as soon as the device came on to the google play store at 3pm on the 30th how can it be that others who have orderd a full day after me with the same 1-2 weeks shipping esitmate have had their orders processed and shipped almost straight away? I find it highly rude that you should insult my intelegence by saying that those who ordered later managed to push the shipping estimate of those who ordered first to 1-2 weeks.
I would like you to escalate my order as a priority as soon as possible as it seems based on peoples information all over the internet that the processing system is working backwards with orders being processed from most recent to oldest.
My experience, read bottom before the top.
Please don't take my email personally but understand that I'm very frustrated with there not being a first come first served ordering system.
Best Regards
Mark

Hello Mark,
Thank you for contacting Google, I understand how frustrating it is to see people all around you who were lucky enough to get their orders in before the wave of orders came in and have pushed orders to the 1-2 week status.
Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email, after which it will take an additional two business days for your order to be delivered.
Upon receiving your shipping confirmation email, you'll be given a TNT tracking number that will assist you in determining your package's estimated delivery date. You can track your delivery by providing this tracking number at http://www.tnt.com/express/en_gb/site/home.html.html
If there is anything I can assist you with just respond back to this email or visit our help center: http://support.google.com/googleplay/?hl=en&topic=2803002&rd=1
Sincerely,.
Mark

Ordered on the 30th at 6pm, order as been pending ever since, the money was ringfenced (available and actual balance different) from my account pretty much straight away, then the order date changed to the 1st Feb, just received shipping confirmation this morning, checked tnt and it's out for delivery today!
On the tnt website it says that the parcel was collected on the 1st Feb, so I wonder if everyone who's order date changed that to the 1st is actually the date tnt received the parcel?
Woby_Tide
4 Feb 13#1389
In the same way you've no idea what might have happened with your order that meant the automated systems either de-prioritised it or put it on hold for some reason. Or the fact that the ordering system knows that it has up to 2 weeks to ship everyones orders and still hit the target it gave the end user at the point of purchase. But yeah your point is valid, stamping your feet is always the best idea

Sorry to hear about evryone's delays, but can I just add that if like me you didn't realise that this used a micro SIM, or think your existing phone already has one when it doesn't (!), it might be worth looking into ordering one from your provider so you are ready to use this when it lands.
Mine arrived Friday but I quickly discovered I did not have a micro SIM - fortunately I was able to get one from Orange quickly so managed to get up and running yesterday.
The phone is worth the wait, so hang in there.

So my status is in preordered since I ordered on 30th at 4pm and just I've got off the phone from google play. He said they are just waiting on more stock to ship, and said they are being shipped on a first come first serve basis. When I questioned how comes others had received phones ordering hours and days after me he couldn't comment. Absolute joke service, advisors don't have a clue and i'm just left in limbo.

They can't send cash if you send via post. That means they'd have to post cash out, which no-one would insure. If you sell it to them online, you get money via bacs, cheque or Paypal.

Mine arrived this morning - delighted with it (though the camera shutter rattle when putting it down is a pain) - so fast, smooth and lovely screen. Quality of the phone and overall look/feel is much higher than I was expecting. Superb value.

Its all good, its been delivery to my place apparently so I'll have to pick it up later... kinda worried that its been signed for by someone its not addressed too :/ Surely if the designated address applies then it should be to the designated receiver!!! :@@

What does your phone usage say? It will tell you what apps or services have been using data, and how much.

If you go into settings -> data usage, you should be able to see what has used your data.

They've gone and delivered it to the wrong address. The tracking website is now showing that it's been signed for and yet there hasn't been a single TNT van in my street all day.

Question for all the newer batch Nexus 4 owners.. are you guys noticing the rattle near the camera area?
zermattbusby
4 Feb 13#1473
CeX'd mine today, couldn't resist lol
344 - 289 = 55
Ordering another to keep and possibly another to CeX but cant see them holding this price for much longer...
Incidentally you can set up a sale on-line, which holds the price for five days, might be worth doing if your phones not arrived yet.

Mine has just arrived, have had no dispatch email or tracking number???
No funds have been taken as yet also
Got it on charge now, will have a play later and decide if i keep it or stick with the trusty s2

Play Store mainly. Think there were some big apps - interactive stories for my son. If I'd reinstalled the apps at home (following factory reset) I guess I'd have used my wifi there. You live and learn!
steve019
4 Feb 13#1477
Yeah, if you've done a factory reset then if it was anything like mine when I got it out of the box, it updated all the Google apps and a new version of the firmware too. That's a lot of MBs.

Anybody elese getting error message "We couldn't start your purchase because of a technical issue."?
Warnoq
4 Feb 13#1479
Exactly what I got! three seem to be the best at the moment, 12.90 a month for all you can eat data and they're offering new DC-HSDPA which the nexus 4 is compatible with :smiley:
DC-HSDPA is about 2/3rds of the way between 3G and 4G for all those wondering what it is

Try it on a different device like a tablet/phone or different computer. Worked for me last Friday.

4 Feb 13#1482
I thought i could live with 16gb...I was so wrong.
Great phone though, so smooth.
Anyone thinking of selling to CEX, make sure you go to the store and sell it because if you sell it via the website and post it, they take soooooooo long to pay you, last time i sold them a s3, posted on 5th january and payment was made on 26th.

I was looking at the Xperia Z too, or yet to be announced Google X phone. My thinking is with phone as low a price as this, it should hold value well so can be sold for a reasonable price when the newer phones are released

Ordered my last Friday (1st Feb) at 15:30. Just went and picked it from local depot as TNT "attempted delivery" (lies, was in at time and my flat overlooks car park from main road and nothing). So ordering from a Friday afternoon to getting it Monday evening is pretty good.
My general consensus is from the whole process is that TNT are the ones at fault. Google must have dispatched it pretty rapidly for it to make it to my area for today, they should have picked a more reputable courier. One thing that I was not happy about is from Google is the distinct lack of packaging. Came in a jiffy bag about 4 sizes too big, lined with bubble wrap, that had a hole in from being in the van, corners of the Nexus box were a bit scruffy from just rattling about.

I know everyone has had their issues and annoyance with Google but I just got my devices and believe me... You won't even remember the logistic issues! Its beautiful although I am kinda disappointed that it didn't ship with any earphones.

You can blame Google/LG all you want but once you get your Nexus 4 it will all be worth it. Cracking phone!

4 Feb 13#1519
It's a shame they didn't include any but your better off buying decent earphones anyway.

4 Feb 13#1520
You should do but in the UK it's 1 year and it states that in the warranty booklet.

Warnoq
4 Feb 13#1522
Mmmm I agree but its more that fact that no other earphones I get will have a working in-line controller... all the HTCs i've had come with HTC earphones that had that, thought it was nice but hey, what can ya do!

Evouk
4 Feb 13#1524
Fair point! TBH my old Desire HD came with headphones and they had pretty good sound quality and like you said it came with a in line controller. But I guess for the low cost of the Nexus 4 can you complain???
Evouk
4 Feb 13#1525
Who knows but it wont be (unless your unlucky) what they originally said. When I ordered mine it said there was a 4 -5 week shipping time. 3 days later and it was in my hand.

Exactly, can't complain its a beautiful phone... just one of those lil' niggles I guess. Gonna have a look over the internet, see if I can find any that are compatible, if anyone else finds a set of earphones with in-line controller that works with the nexus, please let me know!
Sadly, im pretty sure it'll come wednesday, however they will make three delivery attempts so one thursday and finally friday... you'll be fine :smiley:

A similar story myself. Nexus arrived today unexpectedly but still no email stating it had shipped. Site shows 13 Feb like many others. I've not got my hands on it yet as it shipped to my parents, but my father tells me the shipping note says dispatched 31st for next day delivery.

Ordered the evening of the 1st, nothing at the moment.
Annoyingly I clicked 'cancel order' about 12 hours after I placed it (was going to put it on another card - not fussed really though and am still happy to pay for it with the card I placed the order on), but got an email instantly telling me they were unable to cancel the order, but that still leaves me in a bit of doubt as to whether it was *actually* cancelled and that is the reason i've not received any shipping emails (although it is still very early days).
Has anyone who tried to cancel the order received their phone?

1) very debatable, GG1 is brilliant and this is Gorilla Glass 2, besides screen protectors cause a lot of friction compared to the glass
2) Try looking at the Rearth Ringke Slim

I tried to cancel my order but was told the same as you. Have since had seemingly random changes in shipment status when tracking jumping from - in transit - recd at depot - out for delivery - in transit - recd at depot - failed delivery - recd at depot = out for delivery - recd at depot - then had a card through the door today saying i missed delivery of 3 orders.
Hopefully will now receive them tomorrow.
Ive checked credit card and only been charged for 2 out of 4 so far.

Just got my shipping email. Ordered 16gb on 30th Jan at 15.03 so I'm happy the wait is nearly over. Although I was expecting 2 weeks at first so it's fine with me.
Anyone have UTi as the courier? They never seemed to track for me with my Nexus 10. I'm in Northern Ireland and Google went for them rather than TNT for some reason.

I cannot for the life of me see why someone would sell this beautiful phone to then pay EXTRA for a WORSE device made by SONY, whatever floats your boat I guess

Top comments
In the meantime, those of us on this site who understand the dictionary definition of a deal (e.g. A bargain) shall carry on with our day.
You bought the phone from Google for £288
The £288 is charged to your payment card and google would have received an authorization code from your bank. This allows them to request the money from your bank.
In the mean time your bank puts £288 into a suspense account where it sits pending from 3-5 days
Since google wont actually charge you until it ships they money shows off your available £££ in your bank account but it has not been claimed by google as they havent shipped your phone
So after 3-5 days. If your phone hasnt shipped £288 will fall back into your account.
Then when the phone ships the £288 will be processed again and this time google will clime the money and you will see £288 Google play order on your transactions list for your bank.
This is quite an american way of doing things as its taken you are paying by credit card. Even the play store asks what credit card you want to pay with.
If you had paid with a credit card they transaction would go through just the same but you wouldnt notice the £288 being put into the pending state as its not YOUR money your being restricted to accessing it would only be £288 of credit available.
Its more down to the fact its always been advised to use a credit card on the play store and pretty much the norm for americans to pay for most on a credit card where as here in the uk we use our debit cards more which is why this happens.
If you see in about 3-5 days the funds will become avail again unless google ship the phone, in which case you will see the payment on your statement

Did you make that up for heat?
edit : ok ok - becasue the article says so..
Hopefully it's only a white version (pictures are around) and will suit chavs/ those who secretly harbour some degree of racism; but if its a version with 32gb or an sd card slot....is it worth waiting to see?
The price of the Nexus 7 dropped after the larger capacity version was released, maybe it will be the same for the N4??
As for the rumoured N4 v2, I would imagine it would be higher storage options and the activation of the currently dormant 4G chip.
If you buy a white phone you're either a chav or a racist? I bet you vote Labour.
Very true, but for the sake of a few weeks i'm almost tempted to wait. If it says delivery within 2-4 weeks then i think that might sway the decision too.
Do you know what a deal is? It's RRP right.......
In the meantime, those of us on this site who understand the dictionary definition of a deal (e.g. A bargain) shall carry on with our day.
So, to boost sales I'm setting the RRP at £2.50. I hear you're looking for a helicopter. Do we have a deal?
Im hanging on for the white one. Hopefully it night also be 32gb.
The phone has recently come into stock in US/Germany.

Price will prob go down as they are being sold again though!
:smiley:
ordered 2 well worth the money. Now time to sell the my iPhone 4
I hope this advanced news helps some people.
According to a good source (Android Police) the Nexus 4 will be back in stock in the UK Play store at 3pm today (January 30th).
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/01/29/heads-up-nexus-4-should-be-back-in-stock-in-uk-france-spain-and-australia-play-stores-january-30th31st/
Here's the link to the 8GB £239 version:
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb
Even though the Z will be about double the price
I sold my Xperia S and bought a Nexus4 and i'm overjoyed. It's an amazing phone, and I would have been happy to pay £450+ for it... (shhhsh, don't tell Google/LG).
N4 owner BTW.
It is meant to have a crazy battery and be "unbreakable" = sold for me! :smiley:
PS. This is from a current RAZR i owner.. I have been more than impressed with the Motorola hardware quality!
Well as we don't know what the specs are of the S4 how can you say its not better? It will most certainly have a faster processor, a 1080p screen and a better camera which are the main features people pay for in a phone.
hence i suppose
Most likely LG have given Google an estimate when they can make enough phones to sell as they've had production issues.
We couldn't start your purchase because of a technical issue." Is anybody else experiencing this?
Sign up to Dropbox and get a 2GB account, set to automatically upload photos. Eventually you should earn an extra 5GB of space
SkyDrive has 7GB of free cloud storage
Thats 14GB of storage there, also consider Google Drive, Cubby, Box etc
I bought one on launch form the play store, It was a cluster£$%^ from the start due to backorders etc but i forgave that anyway for the massive demand they saw for this.
Anyway it arrived the first week in Dec and through the worst possible courier in my opinion.
TNT they are £$&%*£* useless. Both phone and bumper came in bags that were torn to hell and taped back up by TNT. The N4 box was crushed and trying to get them to deliver to anywhere but the address on the delivery note is not going to happen as the company Google use for distribution will only allow them to deliver to the original address.
Anyway the device came and it was damaged no doubt through the abuse it was subjected to at TNT.
I waited a month for a returns bag and at that I couldn't hand it into the TNT office as it needed to go through a booking process over the phone even although everything is pre paid and bag provided from TNT and costs covered by google.
Long story short phone is awesome. Google could not be more helpful although you have to speak to the Customer service in the US so they dont really know what happens in the UK.
Google dont really care about the 28days return etc as long as you log a call with them to return the item before the deadline they will happily refund the money once the device is received back to the supplier or distribution (depending if you want a replacement or refund)
so
Google service = Awesome
Nexus 4 = awesome phone
TNT = no customer service, unhelpful and potentially careless with items.
You wont find another device close for this price and even with all the previous heartache and headache through TNT I have once again to place an order and hopefully I will get this one in one piece.
Years of bitter experience have taught me that TNT's usual modus operandi is to lose all despatches in transit and then to take weeks 'investigating' before denying all knowledge. I think you made this all up. There is no way you could have got your phone from them in whatever state of repair. Even if you got down on your knees and cried and begged.
That's why I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab over a Nexus, and that's why my next phone won't be a Nexus.
Google, get with the bloody program, you're losing sales over one piddly thing most manufacturers consider a basic!
or.. use box.com, if you sign up using your nexus 4, you get 50GB for life!
Plus as its a nexus you know it will get around a 2 year upgrade path from google not an oem who will customize the android os and possibly never release the latest build for your phone.
Down side mobile world congress is acoming and in about a month you will have all the latest 2013 phones flaunted in your face but you have to remember although these WILL be better than anything at the moment most wont be available until July August and have a price point around the £500 + mark.
so the nexus is a case where you get more than what you pay for which is rare
And yes, I know 16GB is a lot of storage on a phone... but really, throwing everything else onto an online server just seems a total waste!
Am certain it will be excellent but don`t want to wait for more than 2 weeks for a phone to arrive, (bit cheeky to charge for delivery for a crap delivery service!)
I was concerned about the microSd slot at first as well but Google Music is excellent and I decided it is only a minor concern - still annoying though!
Anyone know any decent low cost sub £10 SIM only contracts for this?
Yeah TNT is horrible they lost my Nexus 4 back in December
How did you get on with that? did you get a replacement out quickly?
same way as u can change iphone battery.
dont ask me the details, just google it :smiley:
(Ps to folk saying how you get the great updates, and support over a longer time, well the Nexus S was supported for just 2 years from release, the 4.1.2 update was confirmed as the last, so yes Nexus did get the update WELL before S2, but both have had support for approx 2 years....Also 4.1.2 I find to be quite sluggish on the Nexus S, but very smooth on the S2)
Really doesn't appeal to me at all now. Got my S2 for £170, it's on 4.1.2, really impressed with it.
The Nexus 4 doesn't appear to be the great bargain it did a couple of months ago. It is good, but with limitations. To me the 16gb model is basically a £300 phone, at best, so the price is not that amazing.
The lack of stock is a surefire way to create a FAR bigger demand than the item would usually carry, so, in my conspirical mind, Google have outdone themselves in generating huge amounts of publicity and demand, simply by them being 'out of stock'...
The more you can't have something, the more you want it! Even if you didn't really want it in the first place...
Stick with my S2 for now.
Memory is cheap, instant and simple.
They refunded me the money MINUS postage, despite not having to send me anything anymore.
Still sending them e-mails asking for a response.
Ordered a Google Nexus 7 in November - they quoted 3-5 working days for delivery. Nothing after 7 w/days so contacted them (on a Thursday). They blamed US Thanksgiving hols for the delay & told me it should be with me the next morning, or Monday at the VERY latest. (Even though the device was being dispatched from Dublin) Needless to say, nothing arrived.
Phoned again the next Wednesday to be told the couriers must have lost it... and that I should try to track it down with them!
I reminded them that my purchase contract was with Google, not the couriers, so they were responsible for getting the goods to me, not vice versa. They then stated they would cancel the original order - provided I signed a Consent Form for the original device to be 'deactivated'. This would mean waiting for the form to be posted to me, completing it and posting it back to them before they would re-order a new one - which would take... another 3-5 working days for delivery!. They refused to take any further action or expedite delivery until this process was done.
So they were told to stick it & I went to Currys and bought something else.
3 weeks later a card from a courier arrived at my door telling me no-one was home when they tried to deliver it that day & how to collect it. Promptly binned.
Another lost sale. They really need to up their game.
In realityland that doesn't happen to everyone, hence people having 'budgets' they have to stick to.
Alien concept, I know!
Good price, good phone, sure 2013 phones are around the corner but prices will be much higher than this. And we will get Key Lime Pie sooner rather than later!
"At this point it is no longer possible to cancel this order. Your order is processed shortly after your purchase is complete. Our expedited order fulfillment process ensures that packages are delivered quickly, which also means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to our shipping provider moving forward with delivery."
Two weeks. That's their idea of quick delivery.
Anyone would think they were owned by Zavvi.
(I'm never in that much of a rush for anything anyway, which I guess is lucky lol)

With the 16gb one you get about 14 or 15 something I think.
I then tried to cancel my 2 original orders but received the following reply :
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window.
So if i'm to believe that it has already been shipped but i'm sceptical !
On top of the phones' cost of: £558 (16gb x2)
Is it worth getting one of these to replace my sensation?
You could sell your sensation ?
I have a custom ROM on it, ARHD but the nexus is very fast and battery is about double for me.
I have a anker battery but not that much improvement.
The Samsung Galaxy S3 on the other hand is about 20% better battery than the nexus, I've heard....
Hope this helps, PM if you need any more advice or help
I have suffered from a cracked screen though and have sent it off to LG for repair (hopefully will cost about £140 or less!!) they esitmate £60 to £100. Very brittle phone!!!!

Its worth the wait :wink:
Does anyone where I can get the sim credit back off my PAYG sim? I have £40 on one doing nothing.
Possibly a lot cheaper elsewhere, is a big seller in China apparently
And 2 days delivery for £9.99, RMSD is less than that for next day b4 1pm
In two weeks this will be 'old' anyway, HTC bringing out a new flagship phone and S4 coming out soon too, but its a good phone for the price, I myself didn't want to spend £500 on a phone, the Samsung Galaxy S3 is still worth about 340 new, so this phone is more worth while.
I want in white now.
So tempted by this phone but having to steer well clear.... so much good spoiled by such small but vital issues.
Have plenty of time though :smiley: lol
Got one last time round. Very good phone if you consider the price. My main concern was battery life - it is acceptable. Coming from a 2000mAh Galaxy S2 it was a bit of a let down. But the phone easily lasted through a the day if I mostly used wi-fi. On 3g modem it was slightly worse. And heavy use depleted the battery rather quickly.
Vanilla Android is a little disappointing as well. I missed the samsung dialer and capacitive buttons plus the physical home button.
Sold mine eventually and kept the Samsung.
cheers
I'm not too sure how long i've had my sensation, probably nearly 2 years i think. I was considering getting an IPhone 4S late last year but obviously seeing as they've been superseeded by the 5 i don't think i'll bother. Also thought about a galaxy s3, but they seem quite dear and the size of the device puts me off slightly. As i say if i can sell my sensation i'm going to seriously consider getting one of these.
The way Delivery & returns are handled in the US and UK are COMPLETLY different.
UPS offer a great service over in the states. In the UK TNT and a 3rd party distribution company deal with all shipping and returns.
So you place your order. It then goes on a spreadsheet style system which goes to the distributer ( i cant remember the name just now)
They handle many large companies stock however so google is not their only priority.
once they recieve all the orders they work through them in batches to get them to TNT who then deliver
Google simply have the payment system and order service.
so before slating google look to the ones actually handling the stock. :neutral_face:
cheers.
Only if you want a phablet and use your phone enough to find it too small and clumsy to use, which most obviously are.
So absolutly there will be newer greater tech this year but with a much higher price point. In tech terms the year runs from Q3 year 1 to Q2 year two, not from January to Feb.
Some companies like apple and google set aside seperate launch events which usually run about August time,
plus the nexus was only released 3 months ago so its not old by any means.
also people moaning about support the support time on any mobile is 2 years regardless of manufacturer. Thats the support time that is set out. If they feel they can easily or inexpensivly continue beyond this where there is a need they might well do so but its a guide line minimum of 2 years. so no manufacturer or Software company is better than any other in this respect as its industry wide
I was going to wait for the xperia z, but at £550 I think I'll give it a miss
One thing to note I hear people saying the screen bezel is black on the white version and thus is a lazy way to make a white handset, This is true as it means very little change to the production line.
But the other reason this is done is and you can check this all you want, a white bezel often does not look as uniform when watching a movie etc as it gives you a white border around the display, it catches the users eye and also has the illusion of a smaller screen.
I only know this through work i have done with some mobile companies. Apple dont seem to bother with this and to my mind yes I think a fully white phone looks lovely but when using one especially in daylight it does glare abit and distract you from the screen.
So thats why the front will be black chose of which you will as being the real reason. I like to think a bit of both.
It does however at pressent have black buttons. I really would hope this changes in final production otherwise it might as well have a star wars logo on it and call it a stormtrooper
If you are willing to take the hit on the £100 for this then you know you will have a device to last 2 years minimum if your inclined to stick with it should you like it for that length of time.
Its still not perfect but then nothing ever will be otherwise they wouldnt have anything to sell you in a years time. it is however a cracking device but its a different demographic to the note so depends on needs and wants
If you buy the plans for a hyperspeed rocket, build it, fly close enough to a black hole for a year by the time you return it will be several years later and you can buy the iphone Quantum or the N-Berry wearable Flux Socks.
Il just have to stick to buying old tech like this Nexus 4 though since I dont have any engineering experience. Damn
this is just the price google sell it for. If honda sold a Civic for £3000 opossed to Arnold Clark who sells it at £14000 would you not want to know when it was back in stock with Honda?
4G is still 2 years away from being anywhere near an affordable rival to 3G and the incrediable speeds will slow when more traffic picks up as well as being restricted by allowance caps or download limits.
So if you want to pay for it fine but if like most you would cry at the price of 4G just now or the download limits imposed, by the time it is a viable alternative to 3G and offers the likes of GiffGaff pricing and no limits you will be on your next phone anyway which will have lte
So no 4G. Dont sweat it. It would cost a fortune to run and limits restrict how much you could use it to its potential
Smilly Face
SD slot is worth it alone
The 3310 edges in the entertainment category, it has snake2 as standard.
Google sell them for under the rrp
Brilliant phone having been lucky enough to get one before Xmas. I am managing two days battery life with stock settings and where my desire hd just about did a day and that was with battery saver app installed to eek it out that far lol.
Its not really worth all the debate, if you really don't think 16GB is enough and are not happy with the streaming solution then this simply isn't the phone for you. However if you are fine with it, then its a great phone for the money.
While on a topic of storage, what is the actual capacity of the 16GBs? I ask this because after formatting and OS my iPhone 3g was around 14.5GB?
I have 5.69 GB free have about 100 apps/games on it and about 100 photos and 50 songs
I've coupled it with an three 30 day rolling contract that has UNLIMITED internet which is perfect for Google Play Music, plus unlimted texts and a few hundred minutes not that I use them... all for £10.49 per month after cash back. Three are also offering DC-HSPA which is twice the speed of normal HSPA+ so 4G really doesnt bother me, too over priced! (48mbps)
Phone arrived 13 days later
However many people who ordered 4 hours later (9pm) received theirs within two days
I've had the 16GB N4 since the last messed up orders, and I genuinely cant fault it aside from the slightly disappointing camera, though photosphere and little planets makes up for this a bit.
sd slot and removable battery are.
I phoned Google and they have no explanation and I cannot cancel 1 order even though phones have not been posted. Worst service ever, guess ill have to take it up with my bank. Google receipt even states "you will not be charged until you order has shipped".
personally i keep other content apart from music on my phone.. videos,zips,exe's,pdf's, etc etc,
guess it depends how you use it..
is a great phone for the money.. but consider the s3 lte (i personally like having physical home button as well)
for all those who have picked the nexus check out the
paranoid android rom on xda looks decent!
I believe you can cancel a transaction only if its in the first hour! stupid I know!
Has anyone got this Nilkin flip cover by any chance... any good?
Obviously different phones suit different peoples needs, I do like the SGS 3 but at nearly twice the price and the fact it has touchwiz... the SD slot doesnt appeal to me :wink:
Yeah there is a slight gap, though I think that's the case with all the screen protectors for this phone. The case does well to protect the phone
I'm not knocking it, I quite fancy this phone myself and am typing this on a nexus 7 but cloud storage is of no use to you when you're on holiday abroad with no WiFi or on a plane at 33000 feet.
If it does you can get a giffgaff micro from here: http://www.giffgaffmicro.co.uk
This will come with £5 credit if it helps anyone...
Uh oh. There was a problem.
We couldn't start your purchase because of a technical issue.
Details of the problem below:
Sorry, we were unable to process this request. Any charge will be automatically cancelled within 24 hours. Please try again after 24 hours.
Maybe try giving them a call.
From what I understand the older style 3G sims have a larger contact footprint (as mine was) and they can be a little tricky.
Plenty of people have had success in doing it though, cutters are about 3 quid on ebay
Some networks will issue one for free
T-Mobile / EE charge a tenner
(When I had this last month, the only way to get my account to make purchases if I sent them scans of photo ID and a bank statement! Ended up just purchasing using the Mrs account but with my payment details - figure that one out?!?)
Wow that gone up was only 99p on Sunday/Monday...I know I bought one :smiley:
I cut mine and it was fine, I used the web to find a pic of new micro Sims and tried chopping mine with the same gaps
Alternatively I think you can get topcashback.
Bought an 8gb!
I wish google would reverse thecompanies manufacturing the tabs. Samsung are far better for 7" tablets, as their 10" are plagued by issues due to the nasty cheap plastic. Asus on the other hand have lead the 10" android space since they entered it.
Think ill cough up the extra few hundred quid for the excellent upcoming Sony phone and tab. Im becoming incredibly bored with ios. Would be even better if someone actually made a decent windows rt tablet.
Virgin are far better, and have superior coverage as they use orange/tmob masts as opposed to crappy O2.
I live in northern england, a place no one acknowledges as being part of the country, and i still manage 11mbps down, 4 up on the outskirts of sunderland, as opposed to O2's 3mbps down.
Also, virgin allow for unlimited tethering on their unlimited data plans, where as giffgaff do not.
And no, they are not always down or experiencing issues. There have been a couple of problems in the last couple of years, but generally great.
The Virgin deal is great as well though.
Google are a bunch of hypocrites. They are turning into the new Apple.
Theyre ugly, especially compared to this, and the screen quality is poor from the ones ive used. Plus those nasty software buttons make the screen feel cramped.
Maybe
I read that only 440,000 units, worldwide, were produced on that first / second batch, hence the "sold out in minutes" headlines.
When Apple / Samsung release a phone, they often have 5-6 million ready.
Rearth Ringke Slim Case for Google Nexus 4 - £13
Due in stock in 1 week from this This site £15.98 delivered. waaay better than bumper thing and a video review here
USB otg doesn't work on the nexus 4 unfortunately... Massive fuss on xda where its believed that's its due to a hardware limitation.
The main thing is the phone, which is to be honest a very good phone, especially considering the price. The phone is extremely quick and I have had no issues with my phone, showing that LG has fixed any hardware faults reported. I would recommend the 8GB to those who will use it primarily for just calls and texts, a few apps and pictures as well as they dont take up much space. The 16GB is perfect for me as I dont keep movies or music on my phone. The battery life is also excellent for me, lasting me two days. As for the camera, I am not a professional photographer, so to me this is still an 8MP camera.
This phone might not appeal to everyone but since when does everyone have the same requirements or needs. For me this phone is brilliant and it is packed with many features also offering first hand updates straight from Google. The best thing about Android is that it is totally customisable, so if you dont like something, you can find and change things so it will be exactly how you want.
it costs US$425.99 + DHL US$24.99 = US$449.99 = £285 + TAX ??
Virgin have been around for a while now, and aside from the well known teething problems they had with iPhone 5 network settings causing dropouts (grrrr apple), its been superb now its fixed. One thing i've noticed, is that the phone considers the network link to be LTE enabled, even though its not. Still, the faster HSPA+ connection rivals the US LTE speeds at 11mbps. Well chuffed.
Edit: after a wee bit researching, it appears my phone defaults to EE's 4G services (even though we dont have 4G here), not sure if this is the norm with Virgin, or if its a mistake.
http://uk.webuy.com/search/index.php?stext=Nexus+4&ispostback=1&mode=buy
Offering £335 cash for a new 16gb at the moment, probably start to drop though
GiffGaff really just seemed to give up a few months ago, so many cutouts, etc
I've seen enough fugly purple cases or ones with embarassing designs on the back to do me for a lifetime at this stage.
Willing to pay a premium for better protection.
Owners thread http://www.hotukdeals.com/ask/nexus-4-owners-thread-1393990 hopefully will be more active now more stock in.
If not, how much are they?
The S3 has removable storage, a better camera, OTG support and uses the cheaper, more common MHL connection for TV-out.
The Nexus 4 is marginally better in the CPU & GPU areas but not enough that you'd notice and IPS vs OLED is moot.
I'm happy with my Nexus 4 but I wouldn't go to the effort of replacing an S3 with it.
Official bumper still out of stock though :disappointed:

It should show the Nexus at the top of the list, with a Cancel link on the right
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.

How odd!
You can always do the trade with CEX online, although you will need to pay P&P and again, if they classify it at a lower grade, your stumped
Saying that though, I have traded many games with them in the past both in store and online, and found it relatively hassle free
In my local stores, the N4 is the most wanted handset, so they'll probably take a lot unless the stores managers have seen that these are in stock for real this time.
Just wait in the queue (up to 30mins in my local), they put it through the tills, give it a Grade A as it's brand new and put it in for a test. Before the new system came in, you had to then return after 1-6 hours after it had been tested to collect the cash, if your store has BACS, they will put the payment through when they finish testing, so you don't need to come back.
Really is that simple, the BACS takes 3-4 days to come through, but it does come through. :stuck_out_tongue:
I ordered at 3:02, 16GB model.
Going to clear my schedule for the morning so I can sit and bask in its heavenly glow.
nuts, wasn't expecting it for 2 weeks as per the site lol
Pretty sad that.
3:05:50 for a 16GB dispatched
3:10:40 for a 16GB not dispatched
If sunny ordered at 3:07 and didn't get a dispatch, it's likely orders placed in the first 6 minutes ish being sent out today. :smiley:
I ordered in December but cancelled as was fed up of waiting. It seemed back then that if you ordered after a certain time the order numbers reset and were lower than people who ordered the minute it became available, so people who ordered later got their phones first. So, for a 15:10 order the last set of numbers in my order number are 1521327627855379.
To test the theory, can someone with a dispatch note who ordered after 15:10 (if any) provide the last part of their order number to compare?

Received my device just before Xmas.
Picked it up after a 3 hour charge and the back shattered in my hand leaving cuts.
Apparently the shock from my cold hand (just came in from outside in the snow) triggered the glass to have a freak reaction.
Called Google Play (who are DIABOLICAL) and they arranged an RMA
TNT delivered my replacement to someone else.
Swear this has been the worst experience I have ever had lol
...sent from my nexus 4 :-D!
I'm an iPhone user. I've had an iPhone since the first 2G one, then 3G, then 4, currently iPhone 5 (regrettable "upgrade"). I hate Apple as a company, the way they operate, the stupidly overpriced devices, and yet - I buy their products. Well, I buy the iPhone anyway. I love iOS and I find it second nature. I've used Android before, many times. I've tried and wanted so badly to like it more than iOS, but I just can't get on with it. I just don't feel Android is as user-friendly, as streamlined, as smooth as iOS. Android just feels like an inferior quality in comparison with iOS.
Now, I'm yet to experience Jellybean or Google's Nexus branded devices. Please, can someone (hopefully someone who's been in my shoes) tell me the honest truth. Is this Google Nexus 4 any different from Samsung's, HTC's or Motorola's devices? Price aside, let's imagine the iPhone 5 is £400 and the Google Nexus 4 is £400 also, would they be considered comparable in user-friendliness and functionality? I hope this is the device that will make me finally bid farewell to Apple. That said, not having iMessage or Facetime is going to cause issues..
But I think you will find that even this phone and Jelly Bean are not quite as polished as iPhone. The third party apps are of a slightly higher quality - but we are now getting to the point where the difference is marginal.
Jellybean is something different altogether. It's beautiful, modern and ridiculously smooth, whereas I think iOS now looks stale and dated.
I can't recommend the N4 enough, certainly at that price, but each to thier own
When I had the Galaxy SII I felt that the interface wasn't as smooth as my iPhone, which was a major reason for selling it and reverting back to the older device. I think it was the combination of the Android version (Gingerbread) and Samsungs TouchWiz interface that put me off.
I haven't had any hands-on time with the Nexus 4, but I did give the Nexus 7 a quick go on display at Tesco, and the interface has come a long way since Gingerbread. Stock Android and "Project Butter" seem to have made all the difference, so I have high hopes that I can finally start moving away from iOS.
My advice would be to try and find a Nexus 4, 7 or 10 on display in a shop somewhere and have a quick play. Larger Tesco, HMV or Carphone Warehouse stores would be good places to start. I know that some Android devices have extra features (removable battery / MicroSIM / OTG) but for someone coming from iOS, will they really be needed yet? My main reason for getting the Nexus is to at least start moving away from iOS and begin to build a relationship with Android. Otherwise I will start buying more apps for iOS which will make it harder to break away as time goes on.
PS, regarding FaceTime and iMessage? Skype and WhatsApp are two examples of alternatives that come to mind as replacements
Hope that helps :smiley:
My wife has an S3 which I think is great but the nexus is head and shoulders betters. The only things I find better about the samsung is a faster shutter speed (but the photo's are better on the Nexus) and the lack on expandle storage on the nexus. The nexus is better in every other way. If you can manage without the extra storage then sell you S3 and keep the nexus. It's seriously slick.
I finally got my order in, hope it comes quick now.
They may have sorted the stock issues.. :smiley:
I've well and truly fallen out of love with my iPhone 4 (now on my third '4', although whilst that is annoying, at least I can just book a slot at the local Apple store and get it replaced there and then very easily).
WP8 device for something fresh or this other Android device (only real alternative to the Nexus is the S3).
I may just order one and see how I get on with it I guess
Im going to give the Nexus a fair go and if i dont like it will just sell it on.
Same with my S3 will sell that too if i like the Nexus.The thing that bothers me is the price of any other phone i might want compared to this Nexus almost double.
An S4 is going to be what £499 + ?? I like the look of the Sony Xperia Z but thats £530 same as an iphone5.
This Nexus is just too good price to pass up on.
Anyone know, seems very random this?
thanks
Suz
the shipping date still 13th Feb and money hasn't been charged yet.
The one I've been using still has screen protectors on and has been in a case but the imei barcode has slightly worn away, do you think cex will still give £344 for it?
Did you just order it now?
I have been trying to order since past 30 mins
But it shows me a "technical error" message?
Anyone else get that?
I'm sure you can wait until yours arrives :smiley:

So got 8GB in hand now, dont know what to do it ? CEX it or bay it
Arrrggg! Can't decide !
;-)
You bought the phone from Google for £288
The £288 is charged to your payment card and google would have received an authorization code from your bank. This allows them to request the money from your bank.
In the mean time your bank puts £288 into a suspense account where it sits pending from 3-5 days
Since google wont actually charge you until it ships they money shows off your available £££ in your bank account but it has not been claimed by google as they havent shipped your phone
So after 3-5 days. If your phone hasnt shipped £288 will fall back into your account.
Then when the phone ships the £288 will be processed again and this time google will clime the money and you will see £288 Google play order on your transactions list for your bank.
This is quite an american way of doing things as its taken you are paying by credit card. Even the play store asks what credit card you want to pay with.
If you had paid with a credit card they transaction would go through just the same but you wouldnt notice the £288 being put into the pending state as its not YOUR money your being restricted to accessing it would only be £288 of credit available.
Its more down to the fact its always been advised to use a credit card on the play store and pretty much the norm for americans to pay for most on a credit card where as here in the uk we use our debit cards more which is why this happens.
If you see in about 3-5 days the funds will become avail again unless google ship the phone, in which case you will see the payment on your statement
Ordered at 3:02:10 PM GMT / not shipped
Not to worried this time, I'm sure another batch of emails will appear this evening
Think last time shipping emails were sent out around 6pm onwards and delivered the following day
Trouble is I actually want one to keep lol do I order another before it sells out?
They are a huge distribution company with many large names of tech on the books so deal with orders in batches
Nothing against Google but as this is the case phoning them won't help as they honestly have no idea and not their fault its all handled by another company in the UK.
The run dispatch in batches and hence why you get a wave of phones sent at the same time
Once its shipped from there your Google wallet transaction will change from pending to a paid transaction with a TNT reference. Which may or may not mean anything to TNT as mentioned they reuse tracking numbers but it will have shipped at this point
You will get a dispatched email from Google though at this time also
So if I fill this form out now, get to the store later and they don't have enough cash or price has changed, I just ship them to CEX direct?

I have a feeling that they now have tonnes in stock - which means that the majority of people will receive them within 1-2 days of ordering.
a) You pay the postage (6 quid RMSD)
b) Will they agree its in the condition you say it is
c) If you send it sealed they'll probably open it and say its not new
Better really to deal face to face imo
I do agree however googles choice of partner for this was possibly not the best given who they partner with for delivery etc so fair comment mark
Hopefully everyone will get their phone soon. Its only been a day so don't panic people, even if others have theirs.
As with any high price item, I would ship recorded as a precaution should item get lost in the post (never happened to any games I have sent to CEX but ya never know). I only ever had one issue with sending a game to CEX, when I sent a game as sealed but it wasn't (my mistake). However, I got a phone call quoting the reduced price, I wasn't happy with the new price so they sent the game back to me free of charge. Whether or not they do this with phones I am not sure
I'm intending to keep the phone for 12-18 months, £40 over 18 months is just a little over £2/month.
Whilst Google Music allows me to store thousands of songs in the Cloud, I don't always have access to perfect coverage where streaming high quality music is viable. That's not very inconvenient if you don't have many albums or want to store only a few on your device.
I hardly store any videos and photos can be uploaded to a Dropbox/Box account on the go. By the way, a few weeks ago I was able to get 50 GB free lifetime account with Box by registering the phone, not sure if that deal is still on the table, though.
The only real problem are apps, mainly games, that can often go into GBs these days, and the sizes increase every year. I already have only 5.17GB free space available and that is without storing anything large on the device, besides a few games.
If you root and make a backup of the system+data, it's easily 2GB. Photos and videos taken with the phone can easily go to 1-2GB in no time at all. You should always have a little space storing music locally and apps will usually take a few GBs, depending on what games you install and how you use your phone. I also flash a lot of ROMs, which themselves are usually around 200 MB large, so having some extra storage for that is a must.
Case in point, the 16GB model for me makes sense in the long run. I don't have to worry about the storage, even though I have most of my games and videos (not porn, mostly TV shows) stored on my Nexus 7 tablet.
The real free storage on the 16GB N4 is around 12.92 GB whereas the 8GB has around 5.67 GB of free space. That's almost 130% more storage for 21% increase in cost, which I felt was justified in the end. If my use was any different, I'd go with Cloud services and spent that £40 on a good night out or new IEMs.
Hope that helps anyone who's still wondering which version to get of this incredibly well priced device.
I am in the same boat as you, I'd have liked to have received mine today, I didn't - but I wont throw my toys out of the pram for another week. :smiley:
However, if it said that the phone is out of stock and it will likely be despatched within 1 or 2 weeks, that's when you should expect to get it and not any time sooner.
Uh oh. There was a problem.
We couldn't start your purchase because of a technical issue.

The orders are dealt with in batches by C2000 so how they process these is up to them nothing to do with google. Google just put your order on a spreadsheet in order of time purchased and it is sent to C2000 for shipping. How and when they do this is up to them.
I know the reason there was a hold up the last time was nothing to do with phone stock levels but the fact C2000 ran out of pre paid TNT shipping labels for the google play account so had to wait on TNT delivering a new batch lol laughable I know but should they have used another courier im sure things would have been smoother
I have the iPhone to use until it arrives, so can wait the 2 weeks if necessary, but like a kid before Xmas, now I've ordered it I want it ASAP!!

Think the S2 does pretty well overall
**wow that was quick, its now sold!**
I've managed to order after yesterday's cock up so it should be here soon if they deliver by customer name...

:stuck_out_tongue:
just sayin :stuck_out_tongue:
Ordered 30/01 @15h20
Shipping mail received 31/01 @18h32
Status changed from "estimated delivery 13 February" to "Shipped" on google
Ordered yesterday at 15:20.
Come on Google!
Sorry if I'm wrong though, I hope I am really. Edit - Which I may be based on the above reply, though maybe that's because its a redelivery?
Shipping estimate: February 13, 2013
2 Day Delivery???????
Hmmmmmmm. Not quite is it.
FACT: Choosing to link your device or not during checkout has ZERO impact on your delivery
FACT: Assuming you are in mainland UK, your location has ZERO impact on your ship date (if TNT get lost finding you that's unrelated)
FACT: Ordering 2 seconds before the next guy does not mean you will receive your order before him/her.
FACT: The guys at the airport in Korea are not loading phones one by one by hand while looking at who ordered at what precise second and minute in the day. Likewise, the guys at the airport in the UK won't be doing that, nor will TNT. It will be in a batch.
FACT: If you didn't receive your phone today, it doesn't mean you will never ever receive it
FACT: You all purchased under the assumption delivery will be in two weeks time, worst case. It has been just 1 day and a lot of people are already moaning - "i ordered a product with a 2 week shipping estimate and it's been 1 day and i still haven't received it, google sucks" -> sounds ridiculous.
Credit to the person who wrote those fact. I am just sharing my readings here.
I agree with him about the last fact but we all turn back to kids when we pressed that "Order now" button yesterday. Can4t wait to play with our new toy even knowing that it takes at least 2/3 days in average to receive anything ordered from internet. And yet we (me first) all complain and keep on hitting refresh on all those opened tabs (google store, email, this webpage ...) :smirk:
In UK english i also get "delivered" althought my tnt track number isn't recognised yet.(I presume that means my phone isn't in the possession of tnt yet)
In US english the status is changed to "shipped"
In French the status would be "shipped" as well if I translate. and not "delivered"
Same in German and Spanish.
Hope that helps. I think the most important thing is the tnt track number and what's the actual status on tnt tracking page is.
Love how things have been lost in translation between US and UK :smiley:
Here's hoping tomorrow then, I was expecting 2 weeks! Winner!
boo - nobody is going to be in when it is
Does anyone know what TNT usually do when nobody is in? Will I be able to collect it from them on Saturday morning? Or will I have to rearrange a delivery slot for next week?
Cheers.
Best of luck to everyone with their orders.
Hi,
Thanks for contacting Google Play regarding cancellation of your order. All orders are processed directly after your purchase is complete. As a result, this means that there is a very short window of time to cancel an order prior to shipping.
Although we attempted to honor your request, we were unable to cancel your order in this window. There are a couple of options now:
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE SHIPPING ADDRESS-
If you (or a known acquaintance) are able to access the shipping address, your package is scheduled to arrive there. If you no longer want the package, you can refuse the unopened package from the shipper and Google will issue you a refund. You can read the instructions for refusing delivery for your location below.
In the UK and Australia:
If your device has not yet been delivered, it is en route, and you may be able to REFUSE DELIVERY (see instructions at bottom of this message). If your device has been delivered, but you would like to return it, please follow the returns process posted at: http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2411741
REFUSE DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS IMPORTANT: Don't open the package. Our shipper will not allow refusal of delivery for opened packages. Leave a prominent note on the door to let our shipping provider know that you're refusing delivery of the package. In some cases our shipping provider has returned packages if their drivers see a note for refusal of delivery. The note should include the following:
- Refuse delivery
- Return to Sender
- Include signature
- Include tracking #
If your package is returned due to refusal of delivery, your order will be cancelled and refunded within 2 weeks.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS YOUR SHIPPING ADDRESS-
If your device is being shipped to an address you cannot access, please reply to this email and we will work on trying to contact the shipper about the change of address. We cannot guarantee that we can stop shipment for your order.
Thanks for reading through this email- please feel free to reply if you have any questions, and a member of the Google Play Support team will be in touch with you shortly.
Regards,
The Google Play Support team
By then I will be playing with my lovely Nexus 4 @ £280 Cheers !
I just wish Google had sorted the stock out at first, as I desperately wanted the device back in November, but now I just don't feel the same buzz for it.
Its people like you that **** me off, order because its a 'Hot deal' on the say so of a website and not because you actually want it. Or consider making a profit for the sake of a couple of quid. pfft..

But still no shipping e mail, Awful service from such a large company.
Best thing people can do is stop refreshing, and stop worrying about other people getting theirs. They have a 2 week estimate, just get on with your lives until it arrives. :smiley:
It's been 0.5 days so far, still no phone!
The swines!!
Ordered 16GB last night @17:40
Ordered at 3:35pm yesterday.
Got 2 entries on my Order Screen.
Tried cancelling one.
Rang Google who said it was only one & couldn't cancel now.
No email received today.
Will I get one tomorrow? Let's see...
The problems experienced this time & December on top of NOT being able to get one in November is enough to drive a man to APPLE !!!
I ordered at 18:09. I wonder if they have stock of the 16gig and not the 8gig!
Let's hope I get mine shipped out.
It doesn't seem to be done by area as my friends a few doors down the road who ordered at 11pm last night got his dispatch email at 6pm today while I have had no dispatch email despite my order being put through at 3.30pm.
I Don't mind the wait if they did all the dispatches in the order they were received.:stuck_out_tongue:
I really feel sorry for UK business having to put up with the attitudes of consumers in this thread.
None too shabby. Lets see if it survives TNTs handling!
Now to choose a case. Any suggestions on a case that will protect my phone while it's sloshing around in my handbag? There are so many around but I need something that'll protect the screen too. Maybe a screen protector with the Poetic Borderline case? Or maybe this leather one
My Defy has a battery that lasts 3-4 days with light use.
However all I seem to read about the Nexus 4 is that your lucky to get a day out of it.
Can anyone confirm how general battery use is.
Looking at the Tracking it appears to be in my City ALREADY, should have it by the time I get home this afternoon- YAY !!!
Turns out my order was picked up yesterday and is out for delivery today! (Only got the despatched email 10 minutes ago). Don't despair people (who haven't received tracking details) you may be nexus'n before the weekend yet!
(a) be delivered on a strictly first-come-first-served basis
(b) 1 to 2 weeks
?
If it said (a) then fair enough, be irate, if it said (b), then Google is doing exactly what you signed up for unless it gets to two weeks and you don't have it.
That said I am happy cos I got mine
That said again, maybe your card flagged a security risk, maybe the couriers are overwhelmes in your area, maybe they just don't like your name (dodgy is an odd first name)
I bought mine a few minutes after 3pm and I'd like my phone to have been delivered yesterday too, but as I signed up to 2 weeks, I wont throw a hissy fit until two weeks are up. :smiley:
For more information about this consignment, please call our Call Centre free on 0800 100 600
When I rang, they are unable to locate it. Please advise
Not Google's fault.
And to correct myself I actually placed the order at 11:17am not 2pm..... (didn't realise it was that early)
I suffered from all three with three different handsets and gave up in the end but I hope none of you have to deal with this.
No backlight bleed and not anything noticeable from the earpiece. I would like to see tighter buttons though they are "loose" feeling compared to some other phones.
I know its no issue though as its the same method samsung and many manufacturers are using for volume rockers just now. Hey ho.
All in all really nice phone
Unfortunately 2 of my 3 handsets suffered from this awful earpeice problem whereby you couldnt have it on full volume as it would just sound too crackly and distorted the only way to fix it was to turn it down but then you can't hear the other person. It also emitted this constant buzzing noise whether in-call or not.
The one good handset had terrible backlight bleed at the bottom of the screen so any dark backgrounds and you'd be put off.
Aside from that I loved this phone but for now will swap to an iphone 5 and wait for the nexus 5.
30-Jan-2013 15:29:23 GMT
Nothing. Google sucks.
btw - mines coming today :smile:
"Thank you for your reply.
I've forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you come across any other information that you'd like to pass along, please feel free to reply to this email.
Thanks again for your patience and understanding."
So no I am not going to stop until they sort their order management system out.
Out for dispatch TODAY!!!
:smiley:
if you
Power off
Then press vol - and power button till it boots
Then let me know manufacture date and HW Rev (it will be 10, 11 or 12)
It would be much appreciated :-)
It just said being Processed. After mailing they said will be delivered by the 13th Feb. Well within the timeline I agreed to.
What is odd is people getting them very quickly. I am having my delivered to London, which you would have thought should of had a large amount allocated to it.
If people order and get something the next day fair play. I only bought the phone as I'm tired of my HTC Sensation XE. I can use it for 2 more weeks without kicking off at Google. If people are that unhappy go to Apple. They have lovely phones that are slower, locked down and cost more. Quit whining and just get on with it. :man:
I ordered mine on wednesday at around 4pm is anyone was wondering
Just need to sort out a micro-sim now (thought i'd have more time!)
Thank you in advance.
What are the chances eh?
"Shipment held in warehouse. Follow up actions underway "
Try this if you like a flip case, it looks quite smart IMO http://www.amazon.co.uk/Profile-Covert-Branded-Leather-Holster/dp/B00ARCOF9S/ref=sr_1_sc_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1359724367&sr=1-6-spell
Sorry for cap's just trying to get peeps attention as this may help you out if your with EE!
The guy in the 2nd video implies he's from Canada too.
Still nice to know that in the future when 4G is more readily available that the nexus 4 can in fact take advantage of the speeds.
Anyone else received a second handset? :confused:
On release day at 3pm I ordered 1, got confirmation for 1, dispatch email for 1. The next morning at 8am the phone arrived and I was a happy chap.
Just this minute had a second handset delivered, my online banking is down for maintenance until Sunday so I cant check if i've been billed.
anyone know why?
I ordered 16gb one 11am yesterday and came today... Maybe they're short on stock for the 8gb?
Good luck to you all and thanks again for the heads up.
Love HUKD :wink:
First pair ordered 15:03 - Still 13th Feb Deliver
Second pair ordered 15:07 Still 13th Feb Deliver
Third pair, ordered 15:15 here today.
Work that out..
I suspect somewhere in the TNT warehouse someone has knocked over a huge stack of delivery orders and is now working through them in the order they re-stacked them.
Mate who ordered when he got home so post 1800, also has his today!
No way of working out their order process.
We're working to bring devices to more countries as quickly as possible.
Please check back again soon.:neutral_face:
Hearing that people ordered yesterday and have already received it makes my blood boil.
I know you can argue that at first we were all expecting 1-2 week delivery, but the fact is they clearly have plenty of stock and they just aren't processing the orders in a fair way. All that and they charge you £10 for the luxury!
Seriously let down.
http://techcrunch.com/2012/11/23/how-to-enable-4g-lte-on-the-google-nexus-4/
My bad
My google wallet just says my order has been sent to google commerce, that's it - nothing pending except lack of balance in bank account which doesn't even tell me anything or mention anything about google - shambles
I feel guilty hogging all the Nexus :stuck_out_tongue:
I guess logistics comes in to play here - perhaps they are shipping from different warehouses that cover different regions and stock status at the warehouse determines shipping date?
Installed a few games and apps and I've only uses 4GB of my 16 so far. Feels kind of empty in there :smiley:
Then press vol - and power button till it boots give you the revision
Date of manufacture is the first part of the serial or SN on the box. First number denotes year made so 2 is 2012 and 3 is 2013
The next two numbers are the month 01 Jan 02 Feb etc
and K is Korea being the place of manufacture
Emailed google and they responded straight away...
"Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email with your tracking number. It may take 24 hours for the package tracking to return any information for your tracking number.
If you have not received a package tracking number after the time quoted in your order confirmation email, please let us know.

sign in to your new phone with the same google account and your contacts should re-appear. I have been using this since Android 1.6 -this is the best way to go.
or get Phone Explorer http://www.fjsoft.at/en/home.php
I ordered on the 30th @15:02 - order still pending / not shipped
She's just this minute received hers...
Btw anyone notice you can trade one into CEX for £350 cash? You make ~£50
Think I'm still gonna keep onto it though.

Hi there,
Your order is processed shortly after your purchase is complete. Included in this succession of the order process, your order is reviewed for security purposes and your payment method is authorized for the charges before an actual charge is made. Please allow adequate time for your order to process.
Not really much help on the basis that others have already received their N4's.
Cheers
"30 Jan Google Commerce Ltd received your order."
I ordered at 15:25pm, annoyingly people who ordered around the exact same time as me have already received it! I know I'm impatient, but if it was in stock, why hasn't it been dispatched yet.
(It said 1-2 weeks on the website)
ANGRY
On this page it details the change in the board and shows pics but to check you look and see if you have revision 11 or 12 with 12 being the new board
why is the dispatching of orders so random if they are in stock. its like queing at the post office and everyone else getting served before you !!
Especially considering i've waited 3 months already!
EDIT: Ordered mine yesterday at 11am and no dispatch notice, so no not everyone who ordered yesterday has theirs. Just open a bottle of wine and enjoy your Friday night, posting on here every 2 minutes wont speed it up.
CEX still giving £344, took it to store and within an hour I had made £50 profit. I was prepared to wait two weeks so can wait a little longer so ordered another. Interestingly, the estimated dispatch date is still 13th February for the second order
(just kidding - waiting since 4pm 30th)
Its a rev 11.
Wouldn't surprise me if as someone previously mentioned that whether you had a play account before or not makes a difference, would be interesting to see if those who have or havent received them had an account prior to ordering.
Poor service from Google.
God only knows where it is now!
Ordered before you and no email :disappointed:
Linked Google Account? 8 or 16GB?
Estimated delivery date... 13th February...
I ordered mine tomorrow and it arrived yesterday morning.
Ordered 16GB - 30th @15:02
Anyone else had this?
Finally. TNT package number doesn't work, but hopefully it will arrive tomorrow.
The main question now: Do TNT deliver on Saturdays?
No dispatch emails but my CC company have advised that the payment has already went through.
Love how dispatch times have moved to 2 - 3 weeks now!
Hope this helps.
When sending the Nexus to CEX, would it be safer to open the box first and take pics (but not take the phone out), rather than sending it sealed ? I guess for CEX it doesn't make a difference if it is sealed or not, they're going to open it anyway, no ?
Although I like to think people are trustworthy, without any proof such as picture, CEX could claim that the sealed box actually contained no phone / just a dummy phone etc ?
You got yours mate? happy with it?
Thanks

£95 ! I sold them an old galaxy tab for that last month, I though they might give about £300
I received a shipping email earlier therefore hoping its at the local depot in the morning for pick-up
https://play.google.com/store/devices/details?id=nexus_4_8gb
Only explanation is that the hold only affects the order date a few days after you've put the order through - and its only the unlucky ones who notice this as they are waiting, whereas the lucky ones dont check as theyve already got their devices.
I have done a little research and the bypass is using a VPN, downside being very slow and having to adjust settings each time it is required. On Manx forums other manx people who purchased the Nexus 7, on-island too! Had the same problems with the Play Store.
Status still showed pending. ..
Phone turned up at 7.30 this morning shortly before status turned to "shipped"
Original order placed at 6.30am on 31st.
What's your order situation?
The only thing I can think of is that cancelling it might possibly fast track the order, just in case customers decide to keep it when it turns up.
I live in crawley and it says the phone is in their crawley depo, but that status hasnt changed all day.
So im hoping tomorow .....
Also for some strange reason when I click the tracking code written in the email it says "not found"
One more query where you all are seeing estimated delivery of 13th Feb?
My google play page status: pre-order
Clicking on the info takes to google wallet, there were no estimated delivery date, just showing you placed order on 30th with google commerce ltd..
Any help?
Hello Matt,
Thank you for contacting us today.
I have consulted with Rashmi to find an update on the status of your order. It seems your order was escalated twice already and we estimate that the shippers will be able to push it through by the end of today. If you have not received any shipping information by tomorrow, please send me an email and I will follow up with a new update on the status of your order.
What a joke.
For both 16GB and 8GB
so will it come today........
Original order 31st at 6.30am.
Useless bunch of monkeys.
The guy taking the phone was so careless with the brand new phone ... no doubt some A grade phones have light scratches.
The price of those bumpers frustrates me! How are they worth £16 (+shipping if ordered on their own)!?
As it's for valentines I'm not tooooo fussed but do feel a bit annoyed with the way they deal with their orders and it's very unprofessional and unfair. If I was few years younger, I would have been very very very upset...
Someone needs to raise a page on Facebook or something to document all these inconsistencies, so it exposes their ordering and stock dispatching flaws more effectively....
Can anyone provide me with a useful email address or link to contact them, all I get is an automated respone!!
Still nothing showing online for my CC bill, but apparently this is normal, as it will only update overnight.
EDIT: Ordered Weds 30th at 3:15pm, 1 of each. Wallet states that my CC has been charged.
Or have they covered it already?
TNT Tracking screen
I have the same dispatch summary as above - goods loaded onto vehicle and out for delivery but the person on the phone said it would be monday.
Hehe
And to think I thought google was the best company all this time, shoulda stayed with htc
honored....
Google way to go to peeve off your customers.
Sending an email to CS is pointless they responsd with the same reply.
The phone is cheap but so is the customer service. Would glaldy pay more for the phone if it mean they had a proper order management system and decent customer service reps.
The order "system" that Google use seems to becoming more prevelant with retailers. I recently ordered MS points for the X360 from Tesco after seeing a deal on here. I ordered them on the 25th Jan and a friend ordered on the 27th. He has them and I don't and i get an email saying they won't be back in stock till 6th Feb so this daft random fulfilment system is obviously in use elsewhere.
The phone itself is nice, after 6 years of iPhone, Android is a nice change. The build quality doesnt feel as good but I cant justify paying double for another iPhone, especially when Apple aren't seemingly able to keep up with the times..
They very clearly put the dispatch time as 1-2 weeks because they knew this would happen and nobody can say anything because its well ahead of schedule.
Is there anyone out there that got Nexus 4s from either of the last 2 batches i.e. nov/dec?
he ordered in the 2nd round and 1-2 weeks est. del.
they delivered it on day 13
we don't really, have fun with the phone!
(8GB & bumper)
Go here to contact your local office:
http://www.tnt.com/express/en_gb/site/home/services/express_delivery_national/parcel_office/tnt_parcel_office_locations/tnt_parcel_office_locations_england.html
ordered mine at half 3 on the 30th got all the emails on thurs. etc meant to get it delivered on friday by TNT had to take a day off, apparently ' I wasn't at home at around 5pm' after a few calls and another 'attempted' delivery had them deliver it today (live in london btw)and i got it, was buzzing its such a good phone and then i clocked its an 8gb model -.- so now im waiting for a replacement, we will see how it goes lol
advice for everyone still waiting if you're getting it from TNT go b**** and call your local depot to get it asap, the offical tnt people wanted to delay it until next wed.
Thanks...
mine and many other early orders actually went from pending to pe-ordered for about 10 days
Yours moving to the 1st is a good thing (shows its imminent)
I honestly reckon you'll receive it Monday... Tuesday latest

Tracking said they tried on friday......no note left
Tracking said they tried today....while me and the mrs and two kids where all down stair within 4 ft of the front door. and also didnt leave a note...,
F U TNT
Thanks though.
However i opened it up and must say its a fantastic looking phone and im really impressed with 4.2 jelly bean too,ive always been an iphone guy but im really considering selling my iphone 5 and keeping this phone.Some of the newer features of jelly bean are great and its making ios6 seem really stale and old in comparison.Plus the bigger screen is great too compared to the iphone 5
Overall a great phone
Yeah its a bit expensive but tbh its still cheaper than the bumper (which I would have got but its bulky).... shame it covers up the beautiful back though :/
http://www.avforums.com/forums/18329490-post16.html
It's easier to see what it looks like when it's on from those pics and I like it
Just my thinking
personally I prefer a two peice soft silicone inner and hard shell outer but difficult to find for the N4 a bit like the CaseMate Tough galaxy S2
Something similar to this Link
Rearth seems the best
Second Order: 1 February 2013 13:32:40 UTC, Not shipped (although my card has been either charged or the money are on hold because they are not available.)
My mate ordered 5 minutes before me and hasn't got his (not even shipped), so this is kinda **** up.
So I said can I collect they said yes open till 3pm , Alton one. I went and collected them. One for wife Valentines present and one for me.
Good Luck all.
How long is delivery taking for people?
Am I going to have to wait weeks for delivery?
Went to get one after then realised the postage cost, yeah right!
Same :/ Not sure what other case to get now
Hurry up Google, I want my phone!
Will it be re-delivered today or not? Doesn't say anything about it in the tracking info. Says "Shipment received at destination depot" as of 21:06 last night... I guess it will arrive on Monday now.
TNT tracked this morning to say its out on the van. No sign of it as yet today though.
That said, I did see a hire van speed down my street, turn around as if lost before speeding out. What chance it was conscripted by TNT...
He really is taking the pissss and to top it all off google still havnt taken payment for their fricken phone !! :wink:
Upgrade with 02 and get Nexus 4 with unlimited calls, unlimited texts,1gb Data £26 month (24months) + upfront fee £99

Thank you for contacting us.
Your order has already been sent to TNT, please keep a close look out early in the week for a tracking number confirmation from TNT.
This makes for a happy Liambear (fyi I'm Liambear)

16gb and arrived 1st Feb am
Not sure why other people have had delays.
Anyone who got a nexus find the power button squeeky?
Also the volume buttons do you find they can move ever so slightly vertically in the cut out .
Someone pointed me in the direction of backup software, buy tbh i'm not bothered about copying apps and data, i'd prefer to start again on my new phone and all I want is my contacts.
Dimensions HOX - 5.29" x 2.75" x 0.35" N4 - 5.27" x 2.70" x 0.36"
It is annoying people who ordered after are getting theirs, only because i like tinkering with new gadgets and i have time ATM however my new NAS drive setup is due delivered same date as phone (13/02).
Hush troll, hush.
Edit: For those panicking about not receiving any shipping info or order status, it doesn't show much in the Google Wallet they give you in the order confirmation email, better to log in here for a better overview of where your order stands:

Unfortunately it's not out yet. :disappointed: I'm patiently waiting.
- Turned off location services (although Maps still appears to want to keep on running!)
- Installed Juice Defender
- Have the display on Auto setting.
Looking at it now it's on 57% with 8hr49mins of battery use and of that the main items on the list are Screen 24% (44mins on), Android 18%, Phone Idle 15%, WiFi 14%, Mobile Standby 12%.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Loving the phone but if it can't hold a day's charge i.e. if I'm out and about then it looks like I'll have to go back to the old iPhone 4 (I do realise that I'm not going to get the same amount of battery time on the N4)
Anyone else find the camera horrendous? I'm really annoyed that a current phone can produce such poor quality pictures. my old Sony c905, k810i, and the iPhone 4s take far better pictures. I have a digital camera but it's nice to be able to take a picture on your phone. This phone is not capable of taking a picture.
Asked why those who ordered after have received theirs already, they just ignored it.
Will have to see what the next response is, if they get me one, haha.
Have seen the possible issues with the camera, isn't it supposed to be due to the o/s currently rather than the handset itself?
And I don't know what all the fuss is about with the battery, lasts fine.
I turned NFC off as it isn't needed, tweaked a few of the sync settings to my liking too. Currently I'm on 24 hours since the last charge, still have 60% of the battery left.
How about email? How often does it check? You may find tweaking lots of the settings might end up in giving you a huge gain, and those tweaks are against things you don't really care about.

Still no answers... May have to reply again.
The head og Google Play in the UK should be fired -it's as simple as that unless heads roll and someone takes ownership of this issue nothing will change for the better.
That's googles head but not anywhere does it say supply chain expertise or experience of working in distribution. Knock Apple all you like but at least their current CEO is a supply chain Guru.

Just needs plenty of light
3rd Feb 2013
Dear Dan Cobley:
I apologies for escalating my complaint to your level, but my recent unfortunate experience with your company’s customer service teams has left me no recourse but write to you directly regarding this.
As a committed and loyal customers of Google Play, I am totally frustrated by the level of services that I was provided when I ordered the Google Nexus 4 phone last Wednesday. When the Google Nexus 4 phone was back in stock on last Wednesday, me as one of the loyal users of Google products, were among the earliest to order this phone via Google Play. I received an order confirmation and expect the phone to deliver as soon as possible. However, on Friday/Saturday I’ve realized from the internet that a large number of customers who had ordered hours or days later than me have had their phone delivered within 24-48 hours. Yet my order are still in pending with an estimated ship date in mid Feb, and I believe a large number of Google customers are experiencing the same frustrated issue as me.
From what I understand from a customer perspective, orders should be processed and fulfilled in a first come first serve basis, I do not mind if my phone is late as I understand Google’s product are general of huge demand, but what I do mind is the simple first come first serve principle is being obeyed in this instance. This makes me feel that I am treated in a very unfair and unprofessional manner by Google. In addition, I feel completely lack of communication during the process, my enquiries to the Google customer service have provided a less than satisfactory response.
I expected a much higher level of service from your company, and I am quite disappointed. More Google search shows that the issue was concerned by a number of Google customers last November but it looks like it still doesn’t get properly addressed this time. I appreciate your time to read my complaint and I really hope that you can have someone envisage the issue.
Yours Sincerely,
name
Nexus 4 order number:xxx
Can see me selling the Nexus for the S4 when it arrives.
Opera used to work but none I've tried so far on the Nexus work.
After so many years of being a loyal customer to Google, I have genuinely now lost all respect for them on any level
When I zoom in on text I still need to move the browser back and forth to read the text.
Such a shame, yet another brilliant company with such awful customer service.
Difficult customers..
Need I say, please don't take that as an insult
The stock messaging and dialler is oh so bland, press the power button and you don't get the reboot etc, unlike the S2 multi options, although I do like the N4 it just seems lacking. I just might need to put more time into it.
Any idea what this means? Doesn't sound good in my ears....
I would like you to escalate my order as a priority as soon as possible as it seems based on peoples information all over the internet that the processing system is working backwards with orders being processed from most recent to oldest.
My experience, read bottom before the top.
Please don't take my email personally but understand that I'm very frustrated with there not being a first come first served ordering system.
Best Regards
Mark

Hello Mark,
Thank you for contacting Google, I understand how frustrating it is to see people all around you who were lucky enough to get their orders in before the wave of orders came in and have pushed orders to the 1-2 week status.
Orders are shipped based on the estimate in your order confirmation email. Once an order has been processed you'll receive a second ship confirmation email, after which it will take an additional two business days for your order to be delivered.
Upon receiving your shipping confirmation email, you'll be given a TNT tracking number that will assist you in determining your package's estimated delivery date. You can track your delivery by providing this tracking number at http://www.tnt.com/express/en_gb/site/home.html.html
For more information on shipping and delivery, please see this article in our help center:

If there is anything I can assist you with just respond back to this email or visit our help center: http://support.google.com/googleplay/?hl=en&topic=2803002&rd=1

Does anyone know if TNT will drop it of at another address if I put a note out?
In other news, they still haven't taken the money for mine.
Whats more annnoying is, i live 5 mins from the depo !
Mine also said it was out for delivery on Saturday, but really it was just being prepared for delivery today.
Hope you get it today pal.
On the tnt website it says that the parcel was collected on the 1st Feb, so I wonder if everyone who's order date changed that to the 1st is actually the date tnt received the parcel?
Ordered - 30th - 15:03
Mine arrived Friday but I quickly discovered I did not have a micro SIM - fortunately I was able to get one from Orange quickly so managed to get up and running yesterday.
The phone is worth the wait, so hang in there.
ordered a 16gb - 30th Jan @ 6pm. Order date changed to 1st Feb, Est 13th Feb
And FYI, I ordered in the December batch, to only wait 7 weeks, chased them for an update on my delivery to be told that my order had been cancelled.
Does anyone know why on google play under my orders/status it says pre-ordered?
The people that received theirs with no email etc did yours say that?
i also have xperia T if i like it i might sell xperia T which is also brand new got it from one of the affordable mobile deals recently
My sim tray is really sticky and takes a bit of a wedge to open.
If I return it will they expedite a new Nexus back to me?
According to the earlier post, they've received an additional 100 in this week, which by my calculation is £34,000 just on the Google Nexus 4 alone!
And that is ridiculous. They're going to make a massive loss.
TNT web page shows:
Date Time Location Status
04/02/2013 07:13 ALTON Out for delivery
04/02/2013 02:27 ALTON At delivery depot
Also, do you reckon I should send it sealed or not?
Had a text from Vodafone to say I've used my 500MB allowance in 2 days :confused: Only downloaded 30 apps (as part of factory reset), turned off location services, mainly using wifi too so heaven knows how I've used so much. In fact that's just today as I checked my usage and at 3am I hadn't used any data (only 2 days since bill). Barely touched the phone today as I'm at work. Something doesn't seem right?
I've called them up and they said they'd try to deliver it again today. I don't hold out much hope considering they didn't even try the first time.
Once you place the order its not possible to change the address
You'd have to cancel and start again... but wait you cant cancel lol
344 - 289 = 55
Ordering another to keep and possibly another to CeX but cant see them holding this price for much longer...
Incidentally you can set up a sale on-line, which holds the price for five days, might be worth doing if your phones not arrived yet.
No funds have been taken as yet also
Got it on charge now, will have a play later and decide if i keep it or stick with the trusty s2
DC-HSDPA is about 2/3rds of the way between 3G and 4G for all those wondering what it is
Great phone though, so smooth.
Anyone thinking of selling to CEX, make sure you go to the store and sell it because if you sell it via the website and post it, they take soooooooo long to pay you, last time i sold them a s3, posted on 5th january and payment was made on 26th.
an upgrade from my old SanFran
Brilliant phone though, very pleased.
Also, no need to be insulting. Must be very annoying not having your phone eh
No money taken.
Courier carded today. :confused:
(although card claims parcel is from Computer2000?!?)
Will probably pick up from depot tonight.
After a new phone to replace my iphone 4. This is cheap compared to the other good smart phones
Or should I wait until the Xperia Z comes out and reduces in price?
No shipping email.
No charge visible on credit card (except the original "hold")
Phone delivered this afternoon
pure android just doesnt feel optimised for the everyday use
My general consensus is from the whole process is that TNT are the ones at fault. Google must have dispatched it pretty rapidly for it to make it to my area for today, they should have picked a more reputable courier. One thing that I was not happy about is from Google is the distinct lack of packaging. Came in a jiffy bag about 4 sizes too big, lined with bubble wrap, that had a hole in from being in the van, corners of the Nexus box were a bit scruffy from just rattling about.
manufacture date: december 2012
PS, i'm still excited though...
Sadly, im pretty sure it'll come wednesday, however they will make three delivery attempts so one thursday and finally friday... you'll be fine :smiley:
Unless those who are getting it quicker ordered the 8GB version?
Annoyingly I clicked 'cancel order' about 12 hours after I placed it (was going to put it on another card - not fussed really though and am still happy to pay for it with the card I placed the order on), but got an email instantly telling me they were unable to cancel the order, but that still leaves me in a bit of doubt as to whether it was *actually* cancelled and that is the reason i've not received any shipping emails (although it is still very early days).
Has anyone who tried to cancel the order received their phone?
1) Do we need to apply a screen protector on the Gorilla???
2) Which case is recommended? Bumper? I've just bought this cheap one (good reviews) from Amazon:
It's brilliant.! :smiley:
Does your tracking number not work yet?
2) Try looking at the Rearth Ringke Slim
Hopefully will now receive them tomorrow.
Ive checked credit card and only been charged for 2 out of 4 so far.

Anyone have UTi as the courier? They never seemed to track for me with my Nexus 10. I'm in Northern Ireland and Google went for them rather than TNT for some reason.
I cannot for the life of me see why someone would sell this beautiful phone to then pay EXTRA for a WORSE device made by SONY, whatever floats your boat I guess
