[HOW-TO] Buy Nexus 4 even if they are out of stock - Nexus 4 General

I was able to buy a 16gb Nexus 4 and a 32gb Nexus 10 a couple of minutes ago. It could be that sometimes google releases more units in stock or it could be that other orders are cancelled. I used the following method:
Select your default payment and shipping address under wallet.google.com to make thing faster when you checkout
Use chrome browser and download Auto Refresh Plus: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...pfekkmncanaajkapbpancpelijih?utm_source=gmail
I ussually set up the update interval to 5 seconds and configure the Page monitor to sound when this plugin finds the word "Add to cart" on the page (that means it's in stock)
When the plugin sound it means you have hurry up, add the nexus to your cart and checkout as soon as possible.
I tried at least 5 times and it worked.
I hope it works for you

I had mine running for 2 hours and 30 minutes at work and nothing. I am in Canada however

clean licit
Worked for me. Over 20 minutes, I got 3 pings on the 16GB and 5 on the 8GB one. No luck adding any 16GB to cart, but got my 8GB ordered and everything via this method. My guess is that as people who (perhaps) accidentally ordered >1 cancel the extras they go back into being available.

I talked to a rep, this is exactly what happened.

Yes maybe thats the reason.

How do we set it to scan for "add to cart"?

In the plugin settings. Next to your url address bar in chrome

How I missed that, I will never know.

Lol very nice trick. I did this manually pressing f5 and managed to get one after an hour. This was around 3pm EST.

So far, I am now getting the red "Sold Out"...

Thanks a lot for this!!!!!
I got my 16gb Nexus 4, 13 minutes after I read your post..
Thank you!!!

is there a reason to have 5 seconds instead of say 1?

...cause that's the shortest interval the extension supports

I've been using a similar extension for the last 3 hours, no luck, wtf.

What URL are you refreshing?????????????
CC

This is heavily reliant on luck, too. Esp. with a long interval like 5s.

Will it stop auto-refreshing once it finds the target?

Yes it will stop refreshing the page, you could also set a 2 seconds refreshing interval. But I found 5 seconds enough

I've got it running on 4 computers now

Same with me. I was dead on with the 16gb one, but eventually I got tired refreshing the page over 100 times with nothing. With the 8gb one, I refreshed it several times too, and several time the buy now button was there, but only once of the 20 times I clicked the by now button did it actually go through. Oh well, guess I'll have to make use of 8gb

I've been on hold for an hour waiting

Anyone know a faster way to get in contact with Google
Nope. I was on hold + call for 75min 41s.
I called them last night, was on hold for 55 minutes, told them of my issue (dent on Nexus 7 out of the box), guy said he will need to escalate the issue, asked for my email address, and that they'd contact me within 48 hrs. Talked to the guy for about 2 minutes.
I've received an email about our conversation and currently waiting for a real response...
Damn that's depressing
Yeah I was on hold for over an hour this morning before I got to talk to somebody.

Go on the website& input your phone number then they will call you.

Yeah but that doesn't mean they'll talk to you faster, it just avoids the verification process. I did that and waited 1:37 hours to speak to a rep.
And for nothing btw

Google is really going to lengths in order to deny us proper support. We need a news site to get this in the public.
Just keep pressing 0. If youre already in a call then don't press 0 because it might reset your 'on hold time'. That's how I always get to an operators

Yes, I can see it now. "Breaking news at this hour! Phone support line for new product is backed up during the first week after release! In other breaking news, sky is still blue!"
Just put it on speaker mode and grab a book.
I'd read that the wait was an hour and more......but after a few beers, I had 20 minutes spare before turning to bed and decided to ring the 0800 UK number for a laugh. I rang at 2150 BST and to my astonishment, my call was answered after 7 minutes of Vivaldi! I choose option 2.
Buddy of mine was on hold for about an hour and a half last night. His N7 screen flickers. I'm kinda glad I waited until a Retail release now and bought mine through Sam's, that way I could take it back to the retail location if a problem arose, however mine is working perfectly with no problems so I guess I'm lucky..

My GOOGLE NEXUS 7 EXPERIENCE .

My google experience
I pre ordered the google nexus 7 on the day the went on sale. One week after they started shipping i sent google a email asking them when mine would ship. I was told within a week. Two weeks later i call them to see what is up. As at this point my account was charged for the device. They tell me shipping any day. Two days later i see on my wallet account as google nexus 16 gb ORDER CANCELED BY SELLER.
So i call google back and ask what is up. they said it was a computer issue. And that i would have to reorder. At this time they where backorderd for up to 4-6 weeks on the 8 gb . OUT OF STOCK ON 16. So i ordered the 8 gb version. After a week i received it. Two weeks later i start seeing lines on the screen when you hold it on the left side of the screen as well as the screen moving.
I CALL GOOGLE BACK . they tell me that I can send it back and DO A advance replacmeent exchange. I tell them im not having my money put on hold. I will send it back in a few weeks and just reorder another device when they receive it.
So i decided to just order the device and send this back into them when i receive the new device. .
Its now the end of Aug the new device comes in the mail . It comes in with a CRACKED SCREEN . SO not 30 minutes after usp drops the device off i call GOOGLE YET AGAIN. TO GET A RMA for the brand new replacement device. I GET THAT JUST FINE.Send google this device that i only had for 30 minutes in my posession. still at this time holding on the original device as its still working . you just cant push on the left side of screen. GOOGLE Recieved the device on the 5th of september. Since then i have had several phone calls and exchange of emails. Being told that the device i sent them back was the original device and they WOULD NOT ISSUE A REFUND OR REPLACE THE DEVICE. STATING THAT i would have to prove what device i sent in. They have it so i have no way of doing so . Other then they can see what device is being used and connected to my google wallet. They understand and can see this so im told. But still refuse to help me in any way. So now today on 9/27 I contact them for the last time and demand i get a RMA to send the original device back to them as proof that it was not the one they keep saying they have. SO NOW GOOGLE HAS ALL OF MY MONEY BOTH OF MY DEVICES . AND COULD CARE LESS ABOUT ME AS A CUSTOMER

Well that didn't last long...Sold out 2 minutes later...
might be maybe people cancelling and phones are going back into the system.
I cancelled my 8 gig but it doesn't show up as cancelled on my end yet so I'm not sure if mine has gone back up for purchase.
Great freakin' call. Just secured one for myself! Thank you for the great heads up! :good:
another 8GB just appeared back in stock!
Scored an 8GB at 11:15 EST using the trick in the ARP thread, so confirmed, some units are/were available.
Honestly. If I wanted an 8 gig, of would have bought it this morning. They were in stock well after the 16's.
In just going to wait a little.

I goofed on that one - you're lucky. Some reason I was signed out.
Hot cakes, yum.
Please use one of the existing Play Store threads. Every time the device pops back in stock, we can't have a new thread. I've seen it twice now, the forums would be more cluttered than they already are.

How to get the 100GB of OneDrive?

So I was reading this article on Yahoo called "Carriers are removing some key Galaxy S6 features – everything you need to know" for the S6. It states AT&T is disabling the 100GB of OneDrive! That is something I definitely want. How can I get this if I want to use AT&T without buying an unlocked phone, I have to buy a phone from a carrier for work.?
Could you just go in the bootloader, flash it and load the default android and still get the 100GB of OneDrive? Does anyone know?

I have heard the only way to get it to work is to go into Best Buy and find a working floor model from Sprint or T-mobile and sign into OneDrive on that device. The 100 GB will be added to your account. Then make sure you sign out of the device and you are good to go.
From what I understand the 100 GB is only a 2 year offer so be aware you may be charged after 2 years to keep the extra space.

That's interested on the 2 year. I talked to AT&T and they said they give you 50GB of cloud storage...I wonder if they charge for it too?

There was an update to OneDrive available for me this morning on the Play Store. Updated, and rebooted my phone. Had a notification for 100GB for 2 year offer. Confirmed I had camera backup turned on, and now have 100GB+ storage.

WOOOOOOT, I can confirm that all I did was log off from onedrive and login again after I had applied the update earlier in the day (I didn't check for the 100GB offer). However once I logged back in under settings there is now an option called apply 100GB offer from samsung and now I have 130GB of OneDrive.
Thanks for the headsup.

Same here. Probably not 'enabled' for the Note 7 yet.

Same boat

Used it for the first time this morning at the car wash. Worked perfectly.
When you say it isn't working, are you meaning you can log in and setup your Credit Card and such or that is doesn't work at the terminal?
I got everything setup last night but haven't tried to use it anywhere yet.
Go into samsung pay settings and turn simple pay on for the number of options there.
Same issue on my wife's.. mine works fine (Black) hers acts like the service isn't available (Coral Blue)
Even though she was using it on her Note 5...?
What color are you guys that are having this issue? I am wondering if there is something different by color.. I know it sounds weird, but there were differences between my wife's White Note 5 and my Gold Platinum Note 5..
I haven't tried to use it yet, but the app setup fine. I was able to add a bunch of cards as well.

Then yours is fine.. what we're talking about, is it doesn't even allow you to get to the setup. It acts like the app is "coming soon"
I have a black Note 7 and had the same message last night after receiving my phone. I figured that it was not ready for the note 7 yet, and slept on it. When I tried again this morning it allowed me to log in and set it up just fine. Not sure if this is why it worked the second time, but I restarted my phone this morning after all the installs and cleared the cache. Maybe that had something to do with it?
Been using it perfectly since I got the phone yesterday. Added 6 cards and 3 loyalty cards. Got the 20 dollar promo at best buy getting a screen protector last night.

I just got off the phone with Samsung, was having the same issues, Added that card fine last night, went to try use it today and the card was gone and every time I tried to add it, it kept saying "cannot connect to samsung pay"
They had me open the application manager, force quit the samsung pay "samsung pay framework", clear its cache and then click on "samsung pay" force stop, clear its Cache and it Data.
That forced me to go through the setup again, but allowed me to add my card, and now it seems to be working.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
I didn't use it. However, I noticed an update for it within the Samsung pay app settings, under "about". It should be version 2.2.02. I'm not saying that's the cause, but might help.
i setup mines up last night ok. i added two of my cards. One i did the resend for the activation code 2 times. The other card did work never got one. Then this morning i deleted it and readded and the activation card got sent and work this time.
I remember on my s7 edge when i first got it. samsung pay didnt work. woulnt get pass finger print. Call samsung and they said to delete the samsung pay app data and cache.
Once i did that the s7 edge setup fast and easy.
Worth a shot if you guys n girls are still having problems.

Worked great last night at the movies. Even got the free $20 virtual gift card 2 minutes later. Be sure to use Samsung pay at least once to get your free money!

Samsung Pay working for me just like you see on commercials. I get the same reactions too.
I notice when I took off the locking on lock screen Google pay said it won't work due no lock on lock screen. May be this is same with Samsung Pay.
It stands that if you have stuff like Samsung Pay, Google Pay, etc in your device that you should lock your device too.

3rd day now and I still can't register the cards I had on my S7. Tried everything. I guess I'll call Samsung at some point today.
