US Nexus 4 in the UK - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm off to the US over New Year and planning on getting a Nexus 4 there - can anyone tell me if I'll have any compatibility problems using it in the UK?

There is just 1 Nexus 4. It will work fine.

Literally the only thing that'll be different will be the charger plug, which is ofc a non-issue.
I take it you're pulling the old "tourist dodging sales tax by ordering online" trick?

woooohooo, just bought 2 of them
Wow thank you very much. This is a great price. I wanted to buy one when it first came out, but in order for me to buy it here in the US, it was going to cost me $750 .. (People trying to make a huge profit + import fees I suppose).

So people claim it takes forever for things to ship, but I've bought 3-4 things from dailysteals now and it usually takes around a week from my experience.
I bought a few items from them:
My first purchased was a Palm Pixi, got to my house in two days flat.
2nd: 16gb MicroSD - took about a week
3rd: Nook Color - took 16 days
I believe they act as middle man for other liquidators, so shipping time varies!

When the next Nexus comes out
Very disappointed with the Verizon data issues on the CDMA version. Got rid of Verizon and the CDMA Nexus.
Since I don't dev anymore, well, publicly, I am going to stick with fully open devices. The CDMA version wasn't fully open either, no CDMA driver source.

Should be 2 days via UPS
"UPS two-day shipping isn't available in parts of Hawaii and Alaska. If shipping to Hawaii or Alaska, please allow for additional time for your delivery to arrive." No additional time for Canada :good:

I don't want to get it and then they release a new one where the back is not glass because everyone cried about the back cracking.
The iPhones are like this and people love it, though.
Cant wait for it. 100% 1st day :d

Definitely first day. I've been using this BlackBerry 9700 for six days and I can't take it anymore. I need some Android back in my life.
I was going to buy at 00:01, but hen decided to wait a few weeks to see about reported battery issues, etc. But after reading http://blogs.computerworld.com/android/21287/google-nexus-4-buy-or-not-buy I'm back to waking up early and hitting "buy now"!
CC in hand and waiting:good:

So... What now?

So I'm one of the unlucky people who could not get a Nexus 4. So what now?
When are we waiting till? When will it come back in stock? What's going to happen now? Should I kill myself?
I am in the same boat. I don't have my own credit card (Use paypal for everything) and was getting the info sent to me at 11:50, which was SUPPOSED to be before the sale. Someone jumped the gun *cough*Google*cough*
Saw the sale start, I had a 16GB N4 in my cart, at the final order process, but couldn't fill out CC info and watched them all sell before my eyes. It has been a sad day.
Oh well, best we can do now is wait it out and see when they start stocking more. I am curious to see how people review it once they start getting it tomorrow, and am looking to see if battery life meets Optimus G levels. Also this gives us time to buy accessories / wait for more to come out (Anyone else hoping for an OTG Micro SD integrated case)
I couldn't buy an N4 this morning. I have my GNex listed on ebay, sale is ending any second now. Maybe I should cancel it. Pretty frustrating.
Gonna look at trying again. Don't know why but I've not been getting any luck with the website.

I've heard many rumours about restocking, some people say Friday some people say a couple of weeks

Won't have my PayPal funds or debit card until Friday... so I had no real chance at even trying for a Nexus 4 today :/ No telling when Google will get more stock though...
Might even consider getting a Nexus 10 almost, I'm $6 short of funds in my PayPal though But I'll figure out what to even do when Friday comes along...

By restocking do you mean the 'restocking fee'.
The only reason why I am waiting for the phone is because of the restocking fee.
As soon as it goes away, I will order the nexus 4. I cant risk that might make me pay $50.
I think it will go away in 2 weeks. If it goes away in a week or this friday, it will be the best thing.

The restocking fee is part of their standard policy, and it applies to all the devices that google sells, provided you don't live in the EU or Australia. If you're in the US, its not going away.

Wait, what? The restocking fee is applied to opened and returned that aren't defective. It's nominally a charge for the repackaging they have to do. It has nothing to do with them having the phone in stock or not.
least I have time to buy a qi wireless charger and hopefully find a case that isn't the crappy bumber
GROIN! Friday here I come. Get ready F5

I wanted to by one in the morning but arrived at work at 8.50 am and all N4s were already sold out. Bummer. Maybe it was a sign I got anyway already scared after all the bad benchmarks and the thermal throttling. I bought now the HTC OneX+ for 199 bucks and it has Jellybean. At least I have LTE and it will work fine. Still have my GNex to play with 4.2.

Since it's only $199...

Right now I have the S2, and I've been debating on getting the Moto X for the past month but with the N4 dropping down to only $199, I'm confused. On paper both very similar and I don't care about wifi calling, I don't need it. I could wait for the Nexus 5, whenever that drops, but I'm not down to spend $500-600 on a phone right now.
So, the Nexus 4 and the Moto X are very similar, so I should go with the Nexus 4, right?
Yes I would personally go with the N4 if I had to make the choice.
And thats because these factors.
1.N4 has a huge community
2.It's cheapers than the Moto X

Exactly, and cheap enough to have a great back up device if the N5 is so out of this world that I have to buy it. Besides, I won't ever buy from Tmobile ever since their stupid monthly installment plan came into play.

I actually owned one for like 2 weeks about 6 months ago but ended up returning it. Not because I didn't like it, but because I was dead set on getting the HTC One and couldn't see myself keeping this $350 phone AND buying another later down the line. But yea, gonna get the bumper with it since its a slippery bastard.

For me, N4 is still the obvious winner compared to any phone out there. $249 for an unsubsidized/unlocked phone is a steal. Even if the next Nexus comes out in two weeks, I still won't mind having spent $249 yesterday for the N4.
I was lucky; I FUBAR'd my original N4 just two days ago, then the price drop was announced the following day!

Looking to get one for my wife this Christmas. Got a mate in US who could buy one from BestBuy for 449 dollars and ship it across. Hoping within next few weeks even cheaper considering Christmas discounts.

Hi there,
Just wondering if you get the same issue as I do with the phone (I'm also on O2), when I put it into airplane mode I get a voicemail notification, which is false and annoying. Do you?
Anyone needing an Essential phone for international use send me a private message.
