[Official] Play Store orders & shipping thread!

Updated Dec 6 1:30AM EST
Below is specific only to the orders from the first day the Nexus 4 was live.
Limbo 1 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 2 order fulfillment: ~99%
Limbo 3 order fulfillment: ~91% (the majority of orders fall into this category)
"fulfillment" = shipped
Above is my educated guess on the status of the shipments that have been going out. I'm constantly tracking this and several other sources for continuing information.
Current status of orders and shipments:
Points below are confirmed:
First major batch shipped Nov 19 (upgraded to Next Day Air).
All orders that took place on the 13th that were back-ordered will be upgraded to Next Day Air for free.
Play Store Customer Service do not have any relevant information about your order. Calling them is nothing short of a complete waste of time.
Orders have not been shipped on a first-come first-serve basis. There is no pattern to the shipments, it is seemingly random. We have indisputable evidence of this.
Addendum to above: It is believed that we are finally going in order. Some of the later orders were shipped first due to an incomplete manifest.
Many people have noticed the last updated date on the Play orders page has changed. No one is certain yet what this might mean.
Points below are likely:
Logistics have been outsourced to UPS.
Order mechanics "slid" during the initial rush of the first few minutes of the product going live. This caused several issues (including an incomplete manifest sent to UPS).
Status of your order (limbos):
1) Order placed. No e-mail of any kind (including order confirmation) received.
2) Order placed. Order confirmation received. No other e-mail of any kind received.
3) Order placed. Order confirmation received. Back-order e-mail received.

Tentative US order time: 09:00AM PST
Changed "confirmed" to "tentative". 09:00AM PST is most likely, but you should be watching out regardless.
These are some of my favorite threads here! We all heard that the Nexus 4 is now official but I'd wager that a lot of us are waiting for preorders to open up on the Play Store.
Post the usual "I ordered!" "It shipped!" etc. here! I, personally, cannot wait for this guy. Just sold my S3 for it.
I did call Google to ask if they were going to open pre-orders for the device. Doesn't look like it this time around, but I was told that you will be able to purchase on November 13th and that stock would start shipping "either on the 13th or the 17th," whatever that means.
Current information (as of Nov 12):
No one knows what time the purchase will go live.
Best guesses are sometime in the morning of the 13th (office hours), or at 00:00 PST. I'm personally leaning toward the former. (NEW: see below)
There will be no pre-order on the Play Store.
Check here for specific country availability.
Check here for more information on shipping and handling for your country.
A Virtual Credit Card (VCC) cannot be used with your purchase in the device store. Also, at this time, the country of your credit card must match the the country to which you're shipping.
Taxable charges, if any, depend on what state you're ordering from.
We do not know what shipping options will be available. Right now, only 2-day shipping is confirmed. We are hopeful for an overnight option at launch.
News added Nov 10:
Android Police got a little clarification from Google-- the rep said pretty much exactly what we've been assuming for the past couple of weeks. They also agree with me that the button will be more likely to go live in the morning sometime, rather than at midnight. See source here: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...-shipments-start-november-13th-no-pre-orders/
News added Nov 13:
A German Google employee has revealed that the Nexus 4 should be selling at "around breakfast time" in Germany. He also mentioned that would be about 8-9AM. This would lead us to believe that the order form will go live at 0:00PST as originally anticipated. Germany is 9 hours ahead of Pacific Standard Time-- aka, 2AM Central, 3AM EST.[/url]

im guessing on nov 13th but they really didnt say.

From the Play Store:
Coming soon!
Available for purchase on Tuesday, Nov. 13th

Sure. But the Play Store says you can purchase it on the 13th.

I would imagine that means a direct purchase. It doesnt mention when pre-orders will start. I for one will definitely be pre-ordering (if possible) this phone. Just hope I can get around £160 for my HTC Desire HD with lots of cases and accessories included

hello guys , i am from montenegro.

I'll most definitely be getting one of these. The price is good, it looks good, and I really dig the wireless charging. I've many times where I'd just put my phone on my desk, forgot to connect the charger, and fall asleep just to wake up with a (mostly) depleted battery. Finally a worthy replacement for my ageing Nexus one.

It's not too big of a concern. The wireless charging is a more of a luxury than anything. The most important thing is the option is available; the aftermarket solutions either adds thickness or look just plain ugly.

POLL: Did you manage to successfully order the Nexus 4 from Google Play on Nov 13th?

So I'm creating this thread to try and determine a percentage value (%) for how many people were actually able to successfully order the new Nexus 4 device on the Launch Date (Nov 13th, 2012) from the Google Play Store.
NOTE: BTW if you picked up your phone from a retail store/t-mobile/O2(UK) etc, then please do not vote, this is for Google Play Store orders only.
If you successfully ordered 1 or more Nexus 4 devices, then click YES.
If you encountered errors/out of stock/coming soon/ or any sort of processing error which resulted in you not managing to order a device. Then, click NO
Thank You

I'm in Toronto, Canada and was unable to order the Nexus 4 from Google Play, due to server errors.
I tried to order from about 11:36am to 12 noon with no success.

I was able to order mine at 8:34 pacific here in Washington state.

I'm in Germany, I managed to get one after a series of errors. I actually thought I hadn't made it also but then saw an email confirmation later.
But it's not been shipped yet.. :crying:
(00:33 UTC-8)

I was able to order one are 1:00PM EST. Was unsuccessful earlier, but kept refreshing and using Page Monitor Chrome extension. Got a 16GB N4 that is scheduled to ship before the week is over.

you should add an option in the poll
"Been through hell trying to order one, but finally got it"

In UK, there at 8am refreshing until i got the ready for order. Had exactly the same experience as everyone else, errors galore on the order process, tried adding the bumper, the 16gb and 8gb, ended up getting an order for the 8gb and bumper! My credit card shows the amount as pending to come out, and Google wallet says shipping 15th.
Whoop whoop! Come on Google, redeem yourselves with the order process for those who managed to get through the initial mess!

N4 Tuesday (Nov 20th)

I noticed that many people, including myself, will be receiving their N4 on tuesday november 20th.
I have a feeling this wave of N4s may be the second batch (both Tmo and Playstore shipments).
So when we all get our "Tuesday N4", be sure to post up any and all issues or non-issues that differ from the current Nexus 4 owners thus far.
Plus show your excitement! :victory:
"What to Look for List" is in first comment
To clear up some confusion:
This pertains to those who had ordered their Nexus 4 either after sold out (this can be accomplished for people on Tmo through the phone or online)
and had gotten the BACKORDER email. And to those that mysteriously got "pre-ordered" or drastically delayed from play store. etc etc etc
So this thread is for the people who are scheduled to receive it on monday/tuesday

Here are some issues that we need to look for:
Yes/No - Screen Yellowing
Yes/No - Rattling
Yes/No - High Pitch or Static noise coming from handset
Yes/No - Random Reboots
Yes/No - Squeaky Power Button
Yes/No - Wobbly Volume Rocker
Yes/No - Low Touchscreen Sensitivity (on super light taps)
Yes/No -
Yes/No -
Common Issues that are not flaws
- Really hot. Because Glass
- Change in color temperature at different viewing angles. Because IPS
Post up other common issues that I should add to the "look for" list

monday people should be included in here as well. i just labeled it N4 Tuesday since Ive seen the majority of people stating they will receive on that day

can someone help me understand this..
Since last november 13th, everyone was saying that for people who got BO and people who couldnt buy it, they will be able to buy it in 3 weeks (next batch).
Now how is this possible? You are saying that on tuesday Google Play will be selling nexus 4 (i.e 2nd batch?
If it is true, i will be most happyiest person. :victory:

I recall reading a post on this forum that someone called the CSR (what's new, eh) and the CSR told him that they are actually working on prioritizing the orders (i.e People who bought multiple phones won't get all that they ordered immediately) to ensure that others who were more modest in their orders get theirs as well. This is why they said that the shipment would take up to 3 weeks cos they need to sift through every order. However, I'm still quite unclear with the definition of 1st and 2nd batch. I would prefer to think that the 2nd batch is just part of the 1st and is part of the newly sorted orders they've worked out over the weekend.

Picking up mine tomorrow morning.

I have a feeling that this is all gonna be part of the first batch still since they are still trying to get orders out from the initial sale, and that when Google sells the Nexus again on their site then THAT will be the second batch.

I just canceled my order earlier today. I'm going to err on the side of patience just let everyone else iron out all the kinks. Maybe treat myself to an on time Christmas present as opposed to my originally planned early one.

Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow evening. This should all be the same batch, just poor logistics on Google's part.

so just to be clear, people who couldnt order on november 13th, can order on tuesday nov 20th.
Also, when do they get rid of re-stocking fee (15%)?

I believe he is talking about people who already ordered receiving theirs on the 20th.

This pertains to those who had ordered their Nexus 4 either after sold out (this can be accomplished for people on Tmo through the phone or online) and had gotten the BACKORDER email. And to those that mysteriously got "pre-ordered" or drastically delayed from play store.
**So this thread is for the people who are scheduled to receive it on monday/tuesday
Now from what I heard, Tmobile will have more between the 20th and the 22nd. And I heard (rumor) that the play store will have the next batch between the same dates

mine is scheduled for delivery tomorrow late afternoon. if i choose to do will call (pick up UPS facility), UPS site says it won't be ready until Tuesday, 11/20.
wtf...?

Where ate you getting these rumors from? If they are only rumors then why shows them? Rumors are what caused me to stay up all night for a midnight release on the 13th..

[Q] Australian availability, ffs sick of waiting.

After looking around for a while,
i got confused
some sources said the phone will be available in australia on february 20th,
which is obviously untrue, others say beginning of march.
other sources even say mid march and after.
is there an official announcement?

Thats why I wouldn't order online yet, you could get yours at the end of March as you don't know how many batches there are before you.
But let's be positive and hopefully you get yours next week....or
You can goto eBay and buy one for $900 if you realy want one. But best to wait.

word on the street is that you wont get to feel that extra power from htc so you may as well get a phone that floats your boat and i know with the sony xperia z it doesnt just float my boat but wont even mind getting a little wet as well.

You shouldn't spend so much time in the shower . Since the answer button on the Sony is on screen, capacitive touch screens and water on them do not play nicely so I don't like your chances here either.
I am hoping that the Australian Sony Centre will get the phones first in Australia, I got my order in the first releases from Sony.

Deposit has increased cause official price at Sony store is $750. (remember no branding is better :thumbup: )

Release date on october 14th!?

I hope that this is not old news for everyone.
I am not sure, how reliable this is, but redstar (http://www.redstar.co.jp/google.htm) thinks, that the official announcement/release of the nexus5 will be on october 14th.
They accept pre-orders for just under 50.000 Yen (~380€ / 510US$) and say, they will ship it for that price, even it get's more expensive.
If it costs less, they will refund the difference.

Well, last year they had a presser scheduled but a hurricane derailed it so they had a "private" announcement through TheVerge.com and let Josh Topolsky play with the devices and show them on camera.
I imagine it might be something again along those lines with google play store taking pre-orders on the 15th and shipping by month's end.

I should hope there's an announcement before the release. I need to put my nexus 4 on ebay, wait for it to sell, payment to process, etc
Wish I could just afford the phone straight up. Still not going to get a better phone for the price off contract if the 299/399 rumors are true. Really have my fingers crossed that the 32gb coming with a 3000 battery are true, and that the camera on this will be at least as good as the camera on my gs2 was.
