There may still be some TVs up for grabs if you haven't tweeted yet!
I believe this is the TV mentioned in the T&C: http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/lg-32ls575t-full-hd-32-led-tv-13184203-pdt.html
I'll try to keep this first post updated with new information.
Recently users have been reporting calls on their new O2 numbers however O2 have said that all communication regarding the competition will be through twitter and will receive a tweet when the television is on its way. - member ajsuk
Update: around 20 Televisions remaining - competition closed
Update: DM's by O2 indicate a delivery from 10th for some users and 12th for others, majority of people should receive it within that week.

There was a tweet 2 hours ago which received a reply so I'd say your chances are good. you have to make sure you get it in-store and on a pay monthly contract to qualify!
Online and telephone orders don't qualify and I've seen that the tweets are ignored.
update: 22mins actually!
Good idea, will keep other thread clean for people looking to get n4 and will drown once people get their tv's in a few weeks.
Mods, please don't close. This will self destruct in a few weeks

Thanks for the replies fellas. I left o2 just a few weeks ago, but might just do this to get the TV. So if I take the £13.50 tariff I can cancel the bolt on and pay off the contract after I get the TV? I am just sick of waiting on Google, and trying to weigh my options. I appreciate the patience guys!

Had a look on eBay and there isn't any for sale, so I'm not sure how easy it's gonna be to resell, but I'll give it a go anyway. I've got a good TV anyway, so I'm purely involved just to get some cash back on the inflated price for the contract.
My missus got declined a TV. Done everything exactly like me but for some reason the morons said sorry not on this occasion. Bloody knobheads! She promptly returned the N4 to the nearest O2 shop.

the 10% ebay fees is really annoying so I don't think I would sell on ebay. I'm still on the fence on whether to sell it or keep the TV, my current TV is not as good but no one in my family really watches TV except my mum and I know she doesn't care for smart TV lol.

Should be pretty straightforward to sell it, it's a fantastic TV after all.

Well that sucks, because none of the local stores have any stock, or, as far as I could ascertain (the staff hadn't heard of the N4 and had to look it up) ever have.
That condition isn't in the T&C..

Hi, I just wanted to share my (so far) great experience of returning my Nexus 7 for anyone thinking of doing so in the UK.
I have a 16GB with the screen lifting issue so I emailed support on July 20th explaining the issue and that I would like a replacement.
I wasn't expecting a reply any time soon, especially since they stopped taking new orders, but was hopeful that maybe they did this in preparation for all the replacements needed.
On the 23rd I received an email with details on how to return my tablet, with a link to a personal cart where my replacement order was already set up. This went smoothly and I got my order confirmation straight away. It was explained that once the replacement arrives, I would have 21 days to return the original and so an authorisation charge was placed on my card for the amount of the new unit, in case I didn't return it.
Again I was thinking it's not going to be here any time soon, but I was fine with waiting as long as I got my replacement.
Today (the 24th) I received an email confirming that my order has been shipped, complete with a tracking number from TNT!
Hopefully it will arrive in the next few days and I will be sure to post an update when it does.

Go to the Play Store website and click on "My Orders & Settings" at the bottom, then find your Nexus 7 and click "Help Center", then "Questions about my order", then select your country and "Returns and refunds".
I've heard nothing from the play store after asking for a return. That was nearly a week ago. Google are absolutely useless and I will never buy a device off the play store again. Ever.

strange im on pc on chrome
I think the time of day you call has a bearing. I took no more than 5 mins to get through to both Asus UK and Google but I rang just after 8:00 on Saturday morning. I got the acknowledgement email within an hour (or so) and the promised 'within 24-48 hours' RMA email this morning.
While I think their communications during the order/pre-delivery stage left a fair bit to be desired I really cannot fault the support so far in trying to get me a replacement N7 that is fit for purpose. I feel for those who have taken ages to get through as I'd have been serious p'd off if it had been me. Waiting and waiting for the emails would also have been hugely frustrating.
Just my £0.02 worth
Please update us on what the replacement is like as I'm thinking of returning mine due to screen lift, but I don't want another the same.

I will do, I really hope the one I receive doesn't have the same problem or even worse something else wrong. Hopefully ASUS identified the problem and fixed it for new units.
Hi,
I received mine last Wednesday 17th (so that's almost 7 days in my possession), I have the screen lifting issue, but am yet to decide if it is bad enough to warrant asking for a replacement. I have yet to really test the cpu/gpu of this so will play games as a stress test. I think the lifting gets worse with the heat produced. btw Nvidia's Glowball App is good demo to quickly make someone go ooh.
Questions:
1) How bad was your lifting? How easy was it to decide from "meh, good enough" to " no way, this is going back pronto".
2) How confident are you of receiving a replacement that has no screen lifting issues?
If the returns seems as easy as you make out, it is making my decision easier. BTW do you have to return everything or do you get spare cable and charger out of this?

The lifting wasn't so bad at first, I probably wouldn't have noticed it if I hadn't known to look for it. However it does seem to have gotten worse over time, I often get a creaking noise when I'm not purposefully pressing the bezel. For me it's a big annoyance because I know it's always there and even for £200 I want my device to be exactly as it was meant to be.
As for the replacement, I'm not too sure. Hopefully the speed at which they accepted my request and shipped a replacement out means that they know this is a common problem and have made sure it won't happen again. If I get another unit with the same problem I will be very disappointed in both Google and ASUS.
I'm assuming that I will receive a completely new package as they told me to return the old one in the original packaging.

Take care to avoid hoop jumping. In this case of 'defective goods' we have a right for refund or exchange with the seller (Google Play, Tesco, Currys).
This is different to a return "because I don't like it", which we have no legal right to. Of course most companies offer RMA because its standard practice and customer service.
Distance selling regulations is also disapplied once you open it (you can only do things that are reasonable as if you were physically inspecting goods in a real shop before committing purchase).
If they have none left for a replacement, I am somewhat content for a refund. I've had a taste of the tablet, I can always buy it again later, when I am confident issues have been fixed. But this is the worst case annoying option.
support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en-GB&answer=2411741&topic=2453057&ctx=topic#GB for info.
Its here!
Wow, its here already! That makes it just 5 days since I requested a replacement to me actually getting it delivered. Its looking good so far, no problems that I can see just from looking; definitely no screen lift at the moment (see the attached pics for comparison).
The only problem is I didn't receive a shipping label to use to send my old device back... I'll be contacting support about this soon.
1st, hope u to get the new one ASAP, then, u really give me encouragement to buy something.
Whilst you have both, are there any clues in serial numbers, or batch numbers on boxes or 'about tablet' that it is a different manufacturing batch or lot?
I'm assuming good manufacturing practice such as iso 9001 that products have traceability...
Take care to remain anon on forum.
Even if replacement has defects we still have the same statutory rights

Today is exactly 4 weeks since i lost my Nexus 7 16gb in the seatback pocket of a United airlines flight. I honestly thought it was lost forever and that i would never see it again. Spent the 1st 2 weeks checking lookout and trying to locate the device, but it had never connected to it since i lost it. United contacted me last week (3 weeks lost) asking for a description again and address. Well 2 days later they sent me a tracking number without ever calling or confirming it was my N7. I had no idea if they were sending me my tablet, someone elses, or just any tablet at all since they never confirmed anything, especially since they said it was found in Texas. I am glad to say my flawless N7 arrived today and it is in fact my exact N7. The cheap sleeve seem to hold up (was worried it would arrive with a cracked screen).

I still think there system sucks and i realize how lucky i am to get my N7 back. Also this isnt a tech blog, its a forum. Forums cover a wide range of things including lost or stolen devices.

Well, judging by his handle, he probably is bipolar and has a serious lack of emotional regulation skills and, likely has a co-morbid personality disorder as well...going purely off the content and tone of his posts, I would make an educated guess it is borderline personality disorder which would explain the piss poor relational skills.

It looks like lots of people who bought it in the US on the 27th have had their orders shipped. I would rather not go through that thread looking for updates when it's just people discussing when their package will be delivered. It's also been a few days since US store opened.
Let's dedicate this thread for the international play stores like Canada, UK, Germany, Australia, Spain, etc.
Here's some links from the original thread, thanks to tuffballa:

My 2 cents - I like the idea of a new thread. Perhaps we could have in the OP the latest news / rumors for the international stores (or even US if they have stopped allowing new orders) about when new orders may go up. I made a mention on G+ to the Google Canada peeps but got no response (not that I expected one!). My gut tells me next week at least one international store will get sales going again..
I'm waiting until January before I go with a different phone, but my 2010 Acer phone is repeatly begging me to put it out of it's misery..
I'd support for another thread so that I do not open the old round 2 thread for the information that I don't need. That said, I guess this will still be closed.
So what's peoples' opinion on whether the international stock will be same as US? I really can't see them opening up stores in Canada or EU and start with 4-5 backorder. That's essentially giving US a week head start on orders.
Don't close this thread. Seriously. I'm sick of seeing threads invaded by "OMG WHY ISN'T MY PHONE HERE YET I ORDERED IT 5 MINUTES AGO!!!!" in ALL threads. We need a place where we can get USEFUL information without having to sift through all the whiners that are pissed that they have an order gone through already.
I swear, when they open up purchasing for Canada, I'll buy one and I'll be patient as hell. Because it's massively irritating...
Koraboros, please keep the OP updated if you can.

Well that's the real question... if the US is looking at 4-5 weeks for their current orders, all of these phones come from the same manufacturing plant right? I'm beginning to think perhaps the agreement with LG is just not allowing sufficient stock to be built to cover the demand of the US, much less the rest of the planet.
That's why I'm saying I give them December - but I could quite possibly see them essentially blocking international sales for the next few months and only focusing on one region. Complete speculation here - don't take this as any sort of fact please.
With that said, I found this interesting: http://www.androidcentral.com/nexus-4-gets-high-demand-status-ebay
Are any international stores planning on carrying the Nexus 4 like T-Mobile in the US?

Nice article... just brings to light the misjudgment on Google's part to not have a reasonable limit per order in the first round...
As for international stores I think O2 in the UK will carry it? I'm hoping Best Buy or Future shop will carry it as well but I doubt it since it's not locked to a carrier.
I won't be patient, but I'll at least try not to moan
OP, it would be good to move the original "round 2" op inform to here...no need to include n4checker
I also think it might be helpful to indicate the country when one posts any rumor or speculation given the fact this is an international thread. Just a thought.

Two German stores will have them. Both of them have preorder option.
Waiting patiently until the Nexus 4 shows up in the UK.
I really hope it's going to be the next week, however, from all the rumors it seems like it's 13 December.

13th is just when o2 lose exclusivity and other carriers can offer it, three will be overcharging for it then.
Play store doesn't have this restriction its just a matter of when Google get their finger out.

You mean when reading the thread title? Hmm maybe re-labeling the thread to something like "International Round 2 Support Group?"
Woo 13th for UK - even if only a rumor, at least it's some info. Good Luck to the Brits, wonder if any other countries have dates?
Edit: I think I misunderstood what you were sayin Adam, my bad!

No worries. This is my support group. LOL.
I saw I guy selling a 16GB for $650 on Kijiji yesterday and now this guy selling FOUR 8GB units.
And here we are with nothing. Annoying.
That's my angry post for the week. No more until next week.
Added a link to Expansys.ca. Looks like they have it for pre-order.

I created this thread to keep all shipping questions, comments, cries, and black eye incidents in one place, and one place only.
Feel free to joke around because we all know, this wait will feel like forever.
I ordered a Nexus 7 through the Playstore only to find out my local Sam's Club had them in stock the day prior to my device shipping. I canceled my order then hopped to the store and got one after begging an employee to check their stock for this tablet.
Thanks Google!

Good idea. Joke around eh?
A stormtrooper and a redshirt get into a fight, the stormtrooper misses every shot and the redshirt dies anyway.
Nice.
Who knows.
Maybe they learned their lesson from last time, won't host the ordering server on a single rack and will have decent stock.
HEHEHEHEHE.
NOPE.
I remember last year when the Nexus 4 launched, I waited until 2am waiting for it to go live then woke up late and still ended up getting one somehow. Hopefully, supply will be far better than it was at launch this time.

What is wrong with google, they may start to accept pre-orders to reduce load of the server and not make people suffer by not sleeping
No that makes too much sense to accept preorders and kills the feeding frenzy publicity. The fact you couldn't get one stoked the demand for the Nexus 4.

It's hard to pre-order something that hasn't even been announced by Google or LG.

And you don't know much about supply and demand do you.
People pre-order things way before stuff is even manufactured, CD's / kick starter projects / cars e.c.t
Its as good as announced now what ever Google says about it won't make any differance now.
Pre-orders are used to gauge demand by many companies, its amazing that Google have not got it up yet, seems they have not learnt fully from the nexus 4 issues.
Lots of stock is great but a sudden release will cause havock with servers e.c.t also they should clamp down on outlets selling them much higher than googles rrp.

Key word: MANUFACTURED. The Nexus 5 has not been announced by Google or LG. I know what pre-orders are. But how do you pre-order something that hasn't been announced? You pre-order things that a company tells you it is going to make, but it either hasn't yet made it or hasn't yet released it to the general public for sale. Everything we know about the Nexus 5 comes from third-party sources. Until Google or LG announce the phone, either in an official announcement or an indirect announcement by just placing it on sale, there is nothing to pre-order.
I'm away from my home in Australia for a while. Is there any way I could access the Australia Play Store to order the Nexus 5 when it launches? I've tried several VPN services but nothing works! Help!!

According to Nexus 4 Wiki and a user in another thread here, the Nexus 4 was released in the Australian play store the same day as the US.

Have you tried putting in your Australian SIM card? In a lot of cases, that determines which Play Store you get access to. If I access the Play Store from Canada on my T-Mobile phone that has a T-Mobile SIM in it, I still get the U.S. Play Store.
So, just a heads up. I seen an ad pop up on my FB feed and it was: Get the new LG G8 on EIP and get a FREE 50" LG 4K TV!
So I went to my local Tmobile store and asked about it. No one knew what I was talking about. So the guy called the "Signature" Store, for me its the Las Vegas Blvd T-Mobile Store, and it was confirmed!
Its a Launch Promotion only offered at T-Mobile Signature Stores between 4/12/2019 until 4/14/2019. So I scheduled my appt. for 4/13 @ 10am
Once everything is validated and real I will update this post.
Wish me luck!

Damn! Free 50" tv with lg g8
Going today to upgrade to the LG g8, hope it's valid here in South Carolina...
Got myself a G8 and I can't find this promo anywhere. I am going to look into it as well.
Talked to TForce on Twitter and the response was this. TMO did partner with LG for a TV promo. The catch is it's only available to the first 130 customers per signature store only and you have to purchase the device on site so if you already have the device like I have you would have to return it and drive to one of the stores and purchase it again for me that's not going to happen I would have to return the device pay the restocking fee take the day off of work and drive two and a half hours to a signature store. Hopefully some of you have better success than I did

Make sure the store you go to is a Signature Store. And from what my Tmobile Saleman said is that there are only 6 in the United States.

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this deal, Double0EK. I just so happened to be a little research on the G8 and found your post. I was pretty much the last customer at the SF signature store and I was only #4 myself. Feel bad for LG, hope they don't fail because competition is great for us consumers.
Wanted to add that it's crazy, even knowing this deal is valid, doing a Google search provided no real information on this deal. It's like they didn't want to promote this offer.
Enjoying the G8 a lot over the G7 (which I returned because of the 4GB ram and bad camera).
Thanks again!!!!

I got my acceptance confirmation the other day. Just waiting for the delivery which can take upto 4 weeks.
So far, with the 3 LG phones I've purchased, I've gotten really good promotions. My V10 O got a spare battery and charger along with a 200GB Micro SD Card. With the LG G5 I also got 2 spare batteries and charger along with a 360 camera. Now with the G8 I get a free 50inch LED Smart TV.
Gotta love the promos LG hands out!
