The Nexus 4 Thread

[Poker]

last time I ordered n7 from playstore too, was asked to declare at comgate, i jus key in 299 USD. no need GST.

The shipment from Google to cgw u didn't declare ah? What I understand is that the shipment to sg also in the 400 cap

Been using it for half a week...

The battery life is horrid I would say. Even surfing for a while can cause the battery to plunge.

Definitely cannot last a day.

There is a code out there to enable LTE on the N4, but I havent tried it yet.

Nexus 4 has a working LTE radio in it - YouTube

Otherwise, quite a solid device but the battery quirk is killing me!

Those who need a SP from front and back (covering the lens/camera too), there is DOML.

Can you post a screenshot of battery and on screen time?

I am in 4-5weeks tier but i still sent an email to google and this is what they replied:

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.

According to our records, your order should ship by the evening of January 02.

Neuxs 4 backorders: Please note that the above date is based on typical shipment processing and does not apply to Nexus 4 backorders. Nexus 4 backorders are being delivered based on the order in which they were received. If you receive a shipping confirmation email, then you will be able to track your delivery.

For more information on shipping and delivery, please see this article in our help center:
Shipping & delivery - Google Play Help.

So for those in 1-2weeks and still have not receive any email from google..i think its time to let them know maybe?

I just realised Nexus 4 doesn't have its own default video player? Strange I would have assumed that every phone would come with one.

Update: Guess we can use the gallery to play videos. Lacking but I guess there's many video player apps out there that can do the job.

I was actually testing around the system.. and reordered 3, with different accounts. end up, I now have 3 Nexus 4 shipping to my CGW account (eta 10/12).

anyway, to give you guys some information on what I did and the system responses.
Basically, my first order was on 28th Nov, eta 4-5 weeks. After which, I was following the xda forums closely and saw many people ordered their phones on 4 - 6th Dec and immediately getting a shipment notification. What I did was then to try ordering an additional one on the 5th Dec. At this time, the Play Store still shows Pending.

On the 6th Dec morning, I decided to cancel it.. it went through (Play store still showing pending), and it was canceled immediately leaving me with the original 28th Nov order. Waited for 2 hours, and I tried again. However, this time round, play store shows Pre-Ordered instead. So I decided to try it with a second account... thinking that I might have ordered and canceled the phones a bit too many times.

With my second account, I placed an order on the 7th, and this time round for 2 phones instead.. note that it was shipping to the same CGW as my first account. So I decided to leave it there while I went out for dinner.

A few hours later, I was thinking that maybe I should just cancel all the new orders and pray for the best for the 28th Nov order. When I try to cancel the 2nd order (the one with 2 phones) It sent me an email stating that my order had been processed and I can't cancel it. I didn't receive any shipping information at all. So I was kinda surprised.. And this time round, I tried cancelling my first order (6th Dec), same reply (no go).

The next day, I receive 2 shipping information from google. And guess what? I'm still able to cancel my 28th November order.

TLDR version:
Order 1 on 28th Nov (Play store show pending)
Order 1 more on 5th Dec (Play store show pending)
Cancel 5th Dec order (able to cancel)
Order again on the 6th (Play store show pre-ordered)
Order another 2 more using a different account with same billing info and cc. (Play store show pre-oredered)
Few hours later: both shows pending again)
Another few hours later, decided to cancel it all new orders leaving 28th Nov order intact (Rejected. Unable to cancel stating past the window for cancellation)
A few hours later, receive shipment notification for both new orders. (phones reaching cgw today)
Try cancelling 28th Nov order, still can cancel.

Hopefully this information will be useful to some of you.

Ah fook it. Think gonna spend extra to buy it from someone who has actually received the phone. Taking offers via PM.

 

[al5yd05]

My original order was on Nov 28 with 2-3 weeks shipping and still in limbo till now. I ordered again on the 7th of Dec to test the rumors about new orders being processed immediately but apparently they are not true, well at least for me. so yesterday I cancelled my order on the 7th and this morning I got an email from Google saying they are unable to cancel my order. So now I'm stuck with an order that wont ship and cannot be cancelled.

Tried to play punk and followed your footsteps, have cancelled my 8th December order (that has always been Pending) as well. Little did I expect, I've actually received an instant email from Google that my order has been cancelled.

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 U.S. and Canada:

If your device has not yet been delivered, it is en route, and you may be able to REFUSE DELIVERY (see instructions below). If your device has been delivered, you may still be able to refund delivery of unopened packages within 5 days of delivery. To do so, contact our shipper directly to schedule a pick up of your package. Make sure to let them know that the pickup is specifically because you're refusing delivery. If your device was delivered more than 5 days ago, but you would like to return it, please follow the returns process posted at: Refunds, returns & replacements - Google Play Help

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: Refunds, returns & replacements - Google Play Help

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 Team
