Nexus 4 ordering process

Beezkneez!

Would love to get the 16gb version. Does google play allow us folks in ireland to purchase from it? I already have the Nexus 7 and love it so trying to figure out how i can get my hands on it. I purchased to N7 in a shop however.

Just got a cancellation email, anyone that ordered with a visa debit that got cancelled did you have to mail them about them refunding or did it do it automatically?

My order was cancelled using a BOI visa debit card. If you go back a few pages you'll see people saying that the same happened to them with various different visa debit cards so I don't think it's down to the type of card?

I think everyone is trying to make sense of the cancelled orders but it might just be someone sitting at a desk scanning through orders and cancelling any that look dodgy?

Bang on man, my order is still pending and was placed with a Visa Credit Card. Kinda crappy how some people were told their order was placed and then cancelled a few hours later

I'm still dubious that this is a random act by Google, have a feeling something is automatically triggering the check. Has anyone who got cancelled first time succeeded subsequently? If so can they confirm if they did anything differently? - might help some others out.

WTF's going on lads??
Just got an email from google saying "Your Google Play Order from Dec 4, 2012 Has Shipped"
That being a second order for an 8gb I made from a new account last night at half 11 that had a 4-5 week wait.
Haven't a clue whats going on but I like it!:D

I set up my visa debit's billing address the second time as my home address with the parcel motel postcode. Seemed to work a charm.
First order got cancelled btw and still haven't been refunded that either!

Edit: Just checked my tracking info and it was picked up in Birmingham at half 10 tonight and is already in Dublin, might even get this before the weekend!

I sent in the docs yesterday and received this

"Additionally, our specialists performed a thorough investigation of your account. It appeared that your Google Account was compromised and unauthorized charges were attempted in Google Wallet. We ask that you keep in mind that your 'Transactions' page will still reflect this prior unauthorized activity"
:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

My account is now back active but the original order with 1-2 week is canceled.

No he did not successfully order 2 devices! Read the rest of his post!

Can someone who has one already answer this? How is the memory organised? Can you use the whole 16GB for apps if you want or is there internal and external like older android phones.

It's my understanding that the whole 16Gb is available for storage, like most tablets (and many phones) are these days, but that the system files take up a section of this for the basic OS - approx 2 or 3 Gb I think, leaving about 13Gb available for apps and files.

I'm really looking forward to this from my HTC Desire which really didn't allow for any growth at all w.r.t. apps - hence the primary reason to install Cyanogenmod, etc. on it.

Still haven't received a response to the docs I sent in, I might have a chance too! Did you re-order? Is the wait still at 5-6 weeks?

Same as any other android device really.
There is an sdcard directory in the root dir as usual which it's your internal storage.
Here's mine...

I have to say I don't think the 8gb is enough. Like asphalt 7 has a 1.3gb additional file which you can't delete if you want to play it, a few games like that and your 8gb it's full.
I know my nexus 7 doesn't like when it drops below 3gb free, not sure if it's a problem with nexus 4, haven't gotten the 16gb down to it yet. Might put a few movies on it later to get it below 3 and see how it does.

It really seems now that Google are doing random checks. When they do a random check and find a Irish credit/debit card they cancel the order. It does seem though that credit cards get checked more.

Here's hoping my order does not get checked.

I'm not chancing re ordering, got my refund on my debit card after I sent them 2-3 emails. Not worth the hassle

I just went from a pending order with a shipping time of 5 - 6 weeks last night to a payment taken email and shipping email with tracking number this morning. Happy days.

Can you confirm a few things?

Is your Visa a debit or a credit card?
Did you set up a new Google Wallet account?
Were you using Tunnelbear/Other VPN when you created the Google Wallet account?
Is there anything in setting up a Google Wallet account that might help?

What kind of card and addresses were you using ?

Posted the details earlier in the thread.
Orderd on 4th at 5:06pm, Visa CC, Irish billing address with parcel motel post code, Parcel motel shipping address. Seems very late to be cancelling my order which what makes it even more disappointing. Oh well.. guess I'll have to buy another phone instead *grumbles*

Just to update my story here:

I attempted ordering 16 gb version within minutes it coming back on stock. I was using a work VPN connection, so virtually in the UK. I never had a Google Wallet before this, so when I tried ordering it, I had to set one up. I used Parcel Motel address as my address for Google Wallet. I then tried my Irish Tesco Visa credit card as payment, with billing address as a combination of my real address, with Parcel Motel post code. It failed. A few boardsies suggested I try a Irish debit card. I tried Irish Ulster Bank debit card. It came up as 'Declined'. But then I noticed I had an email from Google saying I had placed the order. And that the bank had rejected the payment, and I had 7 days to get my sh1t together. Turns out my Ulster Bank account was short of cash by about 10 euro. I added more funds there, and went back to Google Wallet this morning, and 'updated' the payment details. Order status is now 'Pending'.

I'll update if order status changes.

****, I just realised I used parcel motel as my billing address with a debit card. Will they cancel it because of that? Are addresses usually checked?

Mine was cancelled, two possibilities I can think of,
1. I had used the visa debit card once before on an Irish registered account
2. I had set the billing info to parcel motel, I'm thinking this is the most likely cause of the cancellation, probably should have only used it for the shipping address and just stuck my Irish address with a uk postcode, although I thought I read a few posts back someone tried this and theirs was also cancelled.

Mine was never used before with google. It's been 2 days since I placed the order though, and they've actually taken the money from my account. Seriously hoping they don't cancel it, I was in the 1-2 week shipping group

Yes, its a Visa debit.
Yes, I set up a new Google wallet account.
Yes, I used Tunnelbear when creating the account.

Just went through the process again and here's a few screen shots of how I set it up!
Start up tunnelbear
Go to wallet.google.com and click sign up
next screen

when you've entered your details in click accept
next screen

click edit and enter your details

You should see the address like this now

Once that's all done go to the settings cog up in the top right corner
Update the home address entry the same as your billing address

Then finally click on the billing and shipping address tab and add a new address

Enter the parcel motel details like above and you should be good to go!
