Actual Shipping Date

So I am not accustomed to a company not giving a firm date for a product release (2-3 weeks ?) What does that mean, they must have a date in mind. Is this a normal Nexus move? Whats everyone's predictions for the actual start of shipping. Im guessing July 9, whats everyone else think?

Well two weeks would be the 11th.

It's going give them some extra time to get more tablets in stock and if there is any production issue. So anytime in July is possible

Do you think they are still debugging, or are they building units or just hype? I just dont ever remember not having a date to count down to. As it is all I can look forward to is an email saying it has shipped. Just kind of a weird situation, not a big deal but I wanna be able to cross days of the calendar.

Same here. If we were two months out I'd understand but we're just several days from launch and we still have no firm date. It does seem strange and a bit unprofessional.

Probably related to the fact that 4.1 isn't final yet. I'd imagine they'll wrap it up in a few days, either update existing devices or have a forced update after signing into your google account, then ship the tablets. Last thing they want is consumers opening their new Nexus 7 and having minor bugs crash the launch. This may be Google's only chance to re-invent itself in the Tablet space, they can't waste it.

You can still cross days off a calendar. There's just no foreseeable end to the crossing off until we get the delivery date.

I am hopefully assuming Google/Asus was nearly ready to go with this when they started taking pre-orders. I can live with no firm date as long as it ships mid July. If its delayed until the end of July or August, I'll be *****in' loud.

the Verizon launch of the galaxy nexus comes to mind, and the sudden release of the galaxy nexus on the play store. It does follow googles "I dunno launching" procedure.
I really wish they would be upfront with these things

I don't think this is the case. JB is already finalized; it's already on all the i/o tablets. I think there will be an update waiting when you first turn it on, but that's common with android. I think the reason is that google doesn't have retail stores and moving this much merchandise all at once requires a good bit of preparation (just putting mailing labels of a few hundred thousand boxes is a challenge. The 2-3 weeks just builds in some wiggle room for the first devices to arrive and the last ones to come straggling in (or errors that prevent immediate delivery). They probably have a deal with UPS to do this, and UPS can handle a good amount of stuff, but flood them with a few hundred thousand identical boxes and you might cause them some issues. I'll bet a few people will get them early, though (based on order time and delivery location).

Instead of being honest you should've just bet him a hundred bucks

I know it says that your credit card won't get charged until it ships. However, my credit card has a pending payment on it for the time being. So once that goes from a pending payment to a full charge, I will cross off the days from that point
I just hope it arrives to me by the 19th. Because I am headed to Salt Lake on the 20th and wouldn't be back until the 25th. Which means if it is sent via UPS, they may send it back after trying 3 times. But I guess as long as there is a tracking number, I may be able to at least have it held at at UPS center.

I feel like "several days" is less than a week. This is at least 2-3 weeks away.
You must not have pre-ordered video games before. Just look at those people who pre-ordered Duke Nukem Forever way back then.

I pre ordered guild wars 2. They announced a release date of 8/28 a few days ago. I pre ordered the n7 Wednesday. Three weeks before release we still have no date. Not sure what you were getting at with the dnf example. Are you saying we should expect less from Google because things like dnf happen?
Anyway, doesn't really bother me. Just think they can handle this a little better.

Returning Nexus 7 [UK]

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.

I don't really know what I'm looking for but I can't see anything relating to that.

At what point does the Nexus 4 launch officially become a failure?

I was disappointed to find the Play store broken and then the Nexus 4 sold out when it reappeared on the day of it's "launch".
Probably not as disappointed as the people who did place an order and then didn't get their phone and are still waiting though.
With no idea of when it's coming back into stock and the busiest shopping day of the year in the US tomorrow, the Nexus 4 is going to lose the traction in the media and minds of the public that it had.
If the rumors about no stock until December are true, a lot of people will buy something else. As it is, there are already new handsets appearing (like the HTC Droid DNA) and if we see similar shortages and a similar clusterf*** on the sales and fulfillment side of things, getting phones before Xmas could well be doubtful, certainly getting a defective phone could mean no chance of a return/replacement if being purchase for a Christmas present.
I had to laugh when many of the Android blogs are leading with a story about the official N4 bumper case... and the comments to those articles are full of anger from Google customers still waiting for the phone, never mind the case.
When do you call this "launch" more of a failure to launch?
As far as I am concerned, it's a FAIL.

I guess it depends on who's looking at it,right?

Yep. Point of view is key. Phone sold out in under an hour due to massive demand? People so eager to get their hands on it they resort to overpriced Ebay and store sales. That's a marketing department's wet dream.

It's easy to sell anything out if you only have a tiny number of them
And with no system for taking orders, no information of when new stock is arriving and in some cases no shipping date for people who did manage to order, I'd say a lot of that demand could trickle away.
They are certainly making Apple look good.

Another useless thread.... It is what it is. Starting another thread isn't going to fix anything.

As far as I'm concerned, this has already been a fail for Google. It is their second time they've failed miserably with the selling of a Nexus device. They just can't seem to learn...

If you can let us know how many Google had for sale that would be nice, as I take it you have the exact stock numbers to back that statement up.

The Nexus 4 is a marketing win for Google and the Android brand. Whether we get to use or like the phone is besides the point. Reviews of the glass sealed phone have been written and published. Done. On to the next Nexus phone for Google.

Why would I need the exact stock numbers? I just stated that when you introduce very few devices into the channel, it's easy to sell out and create the impression of big sales.
Apple have been doing this for years.
Did it take Google by surprise? That a phone they've been pushing... sorry... leaking, for 2 months and got blanket press coverage - which was then sold at an abnormally low price - sold out quickly.
Man, that is such a surprise! And after the Nexus 7 as well!
The big surprise is that 10 days later they still haven't got any more stock and are about to enter the run up to Christmas, with, yes, you guessed it, no stock and no word on when they will have stock.
I recommended the Nexus 4 to three friends, one of whom dropped their iPhone 4 into water at the end of last month and was looking for a replacement. They won't wait for ever and that guy went out and bought an iPhone 4S yesterday.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

I have my N4 and the failure began on the 13th when Google didn't ship on a first come basis.
The failure continued with Google's refusal to acknowledge customer's complaints and did not relay correct information to support.
I understand how a big launch works and I understand **** happens, but Google's ignoring of the issues and leaving support to fend for themselves by lying does nothing but harm the reputation of the company and hurts the consumer.
I know I will think twice about ordering from the Play store again, I didn't learn my lesson with the N7.

Love this phone !!!
Only ones that are calling it a fail are ones that didn't get one,and tell the truth ID prob be right there pissed off 2 if i didn't get mine , but as soon as they become available agn those people will be first ones right there buying one . Google didn't fail Google did it exactly like they wanted to , its Google they do what they want

I would be, because as I mentioned above, I recommended this phone to other people.
Almost normal people.
You know - the kind of people who don't sit next to their browser hitting the refresh button 20 times a minute.
It's quite normal to sell out of a new device at launch. It's less normal to then have no stock for 10 days and no information.
(Although I grant you, it's quite normal for Google to not give information).

Sold out. Good phone. Therefore not a failure imo.

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.

Bah.. caved and though might as well look at the O2 deal, and it finishes on 1st Dec. The chances that I could order a phone on the website and have it in my hand by then seem remote.

You can only get tv if you get one from the physical store.

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

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..

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.

No KitKat picture today?

Ah yes this thread reminds me of the first month and a half of the nexus 4 launch, luckily I was one of the few who had no issues with ordering or receiving mine.

Why do they do this!? Evil corporation!

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.

Edit: oh, I misread your question. Looks like jcsww understood.

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.
