    Nexus 4 charging questions...

    I did a little research and could not find anything. Please point me in the right direction if I missed it... Here are my symptoms: When turned off and plugged into the wall with the stock charger (or any charger), the phone charges but will not turn on. If I try to turn it on, the LED flashes...

    no updates for me and the authorization from 12/8 dropped off, so I expect to be back in the loop of unable to authorize $0.00 from Google...

    I ordered on the 12th - pre-order status - midday on the 13th I got the "great news, it shipped" email and on the 14th it was delivered. In my case, this is the only (out of 10 or so orders) order that was shipped to my billing address. I think that's what made a difference, but given our...

    Same here. Order from the 12th of December delivered tonight though. I think you should give it a shot...

    One big difference that I just realized. My other two pending orders have a shipping address different from billing (which has never been an issue in 5 years and is on file with my CC company). The order that went through and has shipped is going to the billing address (which I did not want to...

    Backorder Thread (Nov 20th and onwards)

    So I called CS again - not sure why I do this to myself - and asked: "what do you suggest that I do? I am open to anything: new order, anything". The answer I got: "err, I don't know... I don't have any information and there is nothing I can do"... How's that for customer service? Update: I...

    I just saw that you received your December 5th order within 48 hours... Impressive. I had a second order on 11/29 and the speed at which it cancelled today tells me that it was never going to be filled. I am keeping the 11/13 order out of spite at this point, but I don't expect it nor do I want...

    My status is now "pre-ordered"... from pending back to pre-ordered... many things to look forward to... Wow, they suck!

    Where do you see an estimated shipping date? I had an order from 11/29 that was also stuck in limbo (because it cancelled like a charm a few minutes ago) and I just placed a third order today that does not show an estimated shipping date at all... I am not sure what estimated shipping date you...

    I don't think there is any rhyme or reason to any of this. I ordered another phone on 11/29 and it also has not budged. They have no idea what they are doing at Google... none whatsoever. I will cancel both orders tomorrow and move on with my life... (should have done that a long time ago :))

    Funny... I actually talked to a "shipping specialist" yesterday. So, at the end, I actually asked the guy what his title was, and he said he is a "tier 2" CSR. There are apparently tier 3 CSRs, but only if a label was created. Thankfully, this tier 2 CSR was just as useless as all the other CSRs...

    Honestly, I don't know that I have the energy for this. If our current experience is any indication, you will not get a reply from Google if you write. I am not saying don't do it, but I think at that point, I will just let my wallet talk and stop buying things from Google. In the grand scheme...

    I am not seeing any movement on my account and I am leaving for the Holidays on 12/19, so if it does not get to me by then, there is no point... I will give it until the end of this week, but after that, it's gone.
