    Google Play = Garbage!!

    When I bought, the invoice stated "Ships by March 24, 2013. 1 Nexus 4 (16GB) $359.00 ". This is the direct quote from the order. They created this, not I. I called on the 25th because I did not receive a tracking number. When something is supposed to ship by a certain date, it makes sense to...

    Google Play = Garbage!!

    No PO box, no abbreviation. I used the exact same address for where my Nexus 4 was sent when I purchased it back in Nov. As my address was clearly in Canada, and with them replying that my address (in Canada) was not approved, yes, this is them screwing up.....

    Google Play = Garbage!!

    Your right, entirely unfair to call David a moron. In fact in following up, it seems they cancelled my order because they thought that Canada was not a valid country to ship to. This is in spite of the fact that they sent my first Nexus 4 to my home address in British Columbia. Totally...

    Google Play = Garbage!!

    Actually when you buy, it states "Ships by March 24, 2013. 1 Nexus 4 (16GB) $359.00 ". This is the direct quote from the order. I called on the 25th because I did not receive a tracking number. When something is supposed to ship by a certain date, it makes sense to follow-up.

    Google Play = Garbage!!

    <rant> Wow is about all I can say...... I ordered my first Nexus 4 device and received it back in Nov (I was one of the lucky ones). I have loved the phone through its good and not so good to the point where we were ordering one for my wife. For Canada, the Nexus 4 (16GB) is listed to ship...

    JB 4.2.2 for Nexus 4 Live- Factory Image+OTA link posted

    Re: Jelly bean 4.2.2 for Nexus 4 coming soon How about a update to overall efficiency of the Android OS? With minimal use, no GPS, no Google services, etc, the OS typically gobbled 40% of my battery drain. I average 14 hours which for a smartphone I'm told is alright (vs my bb that lasts 4...

    Nexus 4 on Bell LTE

    After reading your post I became inspired. I did a quick search, watched a video and now have my phone on LTE through Bell! I don't run any speed software, but visually can see and do notice a difference. Thanks!

    LG: South Korean wireless carriers were against the Nexus 4 because it was too affordable

    So they are still catching up on back order commitments......wow..... They have not been on sale in Canada since early Dec (when I bought mine - received it 3 weeks later), and I don't think the play store in the US has had them either. Still blows me away that they have ramped up production...

    LG: South Korean wireless carriers were against the Nexus 4 because it was too affordable

    If they produced 500k in Jan, where have they gone on sale? Not in Can, or the US I don't think.....?

    Nexus 5 and Android 5.0 coming already!?

    Actually the Nexus 5 has already been released!! The problem is that they too were manufactured by LG and only 140 were made. There has been no media on them because when they were released 200 people went online to buy them and Google Play crashed, unable to manage the demand. Watch for...

    Best US cell plan for long distance to Canada

    Hi all! I'm taking my Nexus 4 on a cross country road trip. My plan is to pick up a US sim card and carrier plan for my journey. I'm only going to be in the US for the week and want to make regular phone calls back to Canada. I've tried researching some options but nothing stands out...

    Questions about Nexus 4 File Transfers and Internal Storage Structure

    Need a bit of help. When I plug in my Nexus 4 using the cable that came with it, the phone shows up on "my computer", but no file structure shows up. I have tried to copy files over and get an error message too. The first time I plugged it in a file structure showed up, but it hasn't since...

    Anyone else experiencing flaky/unreliable USB connection to PC on their Nexus 4?

    I'm using Windows 7. When I plug it in to any of the USB ports it shows up as the "Nexus 4" in My Computer, but when you click on it, you don't see any of the file structure. I basically can't transfer any files to it. It did work one time, but has not ever since. I have tried it in...

    Hold out some hope. Mine shipped a day before I heard from Google. My order never did change from "pending".
