Here's Nate Swanner speculating that it might be as early as Friday, while the google plus nexus page says weeks. Any thoughts, precedents?
I assume Weeks for the majority of countries.
Friday would be nice. I see it more possible for the US/CA to get stock by Friday, but then again this is all speculation anyway.
After two months. They will have to fix the issues with first batch. And from what im readong there are many issues

If this is true... I'll just go with a Nexus 10 at this point lol. Kind of on the fence on what device I would benefit more from...

I called Google 15min ago and got a about a week, give or take.
I read some rumors that LG reduced it's allocation to Google therefore making them pull out of done markets. Not to mention the rapid sell out.
This is further backed with Tmo selling the N4 for 500 of contract. Given this, it may be likely that LG isn't prioritizing Google since they are likely being payed less, but who knows.
All this in mind, stock may be in and out for a while even though demand may never really reach super high levels the S3 and iPhone see.

Of course a one x owner will find it normal, keeping in mind how much the device you have sucked when it was released so now there cant exist a device whose issues can impress u htc owners cuz htc screwed u real bad

I'm sort of freaking out of all these issues I see in the forums. I received my nexus 7 last night, and it seemed ok but now I'm reading of all these problems. I'll have to wait until later in the day until I can check.
So while I'm waiting I wonder who has actually gotten a good Nexus 7. If you go by most of these threads you'd think no one.

Mine is defective. It doesn't have any screen separation, light bleed, rattling sounds, or lag. I'm gonna have to return it.
I got two good ones.
Mine is perfectly fine. Bought from GP store. 16GB model. No light bleed, no separation, no squeaks or creaks. Only issue is flicker when light set at 0 when reading in bed in the dark. But this occurred on all my other tabs as well so no biggie. Only flickers if wifi is actively doing something.
I ordered two, one on the 5th and the other on the 17th. The one I ordered on the 5th has the lifted screen issue, but the other N7 is perfect. No other issues on the first N7.
No issues here

Mine is not defective. no screen issues, no creaking, no battery issues, its nice and shiny (for now) and it works. got mine from macmall
Perfect, picked it up 2 days ago, new shipment to Staples.
Got mine from Currys and no defects or issues so far.
Mine is pretty good. im not going to look at any defective threads it might jinx it.
These threads account for like .01% of all the nexus 7's out there. So add another maybe 1% that might have a problem that don't post it on here and that makes 1.01% of thousands of nexi out there with a problem

I don't think that's accurate. I purchased my N7 from Sam's Club on Friday the 13th and didn't notice the screen lifting until today. Just got back from returning it.
People who are saying "no problem here" need to wait a while and then make absolutely sure that their display is flush on the left side.
As for whether or not this is the minority defect you're claiming it to be, right now I'm only listening to those posters who have discovered the problem and used their replacement tablet for a week. Seeing as the device has only been on sale for a week, these people don't exist yet. They're the only ones who know what to look for, and I'll be waiting to see how this develops before re-ordering.
Sorry for not staying on topic, but it bugs me that someone is dismissing my experience as an anomaly and blatantly making up stats to do it.

True, but that doesn't mean that I saw a ghost because someone told me a story. The screen was in fact lifting ever so slightly on the left side. I was concerned that it might get worse over time, so I returned it. Also, I had a single dead pixel near the top of the screen and part of me was looking for a reason.
I agree that most people who do receive a "defective" unit will never notice it, and would not complain if they did, unless it gets worse.
Whew I feel somewhat better
Mines clean, got it from GameStop

For those who say their device isnt defective . Can you test your digitizer? See if touching the lower part of your screen cancels out each other or if multiple touches causes some points not to register.
Please report back ... there's a know issue with the digitizer not registering on the first batch of N7's from the play store.
Here's the programs to test with :

Sometimes while watching the screen, every now and then I get a flicker, I only noticed it when I was staring at the screen reading a book, if so I am sad because my OTG cable just arrived and I was having so much fun

You know what. As I was reading your post I started to see tons of flickering. Thanks a lot. Lol jk. Better now than later. I'm still in my 15 day window
I'm stuck dealing with Asus.
I'm leaving the country for a 3 week vacay so I can't deal with a 4th exchange from Google Play.

I think it's worth a shot. My replacement is perfect, much like many of the initial batch / recipients. Risk you take, right?, jumping on that first wave. Seems like things have settle down, think the negative outcry is just more easily heard thAn the positive.

Definitely going ahead and do an exchange now. Got my replacement unit today and this one doesn't have a flicker problem at all. My last one had really bad flicker.

Well I only got it last week so that makes it better if I submit that its faulty at this point..
might seem like a stupid question, but where the hell do I go to organize a replacement
I've seen the flicker on mine and called to replace it. I was told to try a factory reset to see if it was hardware or software. I said I'd try tomorrow and call back/set up replacement if it doesn't work. What do guys think? Could it be software?

Hi.
I'm looking for a Nexus 7 but I can't seem to find any place which can ship to Denmark, I stumbled across Clove but £224 for the 8 gig version is just too much.
Can anyone help? Thanks.

Got mine from eBay with next day ups delivery to central cph a week ago and its perfect
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
my honest answer is DONT!!!!
At the moment there is to many hardware issues with the device.
-Screen separation
-Screen Flicker
-Light bleads
Imagine. on average (on xda) people are replacing their n7 about 2 times.
how much money youre going to spend on postage just to get a good unit?
Fair enough you might get a good unit at first time but you never know.
just wait till its going to be released in your country.
I was planning on buying online but decided not to just due to the cost of sending it back (for example had my Galaxy nexus shipped back twice and had to pay for it).
Oh well, I might wait.
Does these problems really occur that often
What did you pay for yours on eBay?

well if you look through the topics there is more issues than positive things here.
main problem on n7 is screen flickering. this is definitely hardware issue and everyone has that, however, not everyone is so OCD about it. I'm on my 3rd one now and I have screen separation (it doesnt bother me that much tho as i can sort it out myslef), however there is "microscopic" flickering. 95% of people I would show it to probably wont even notice it yet to me its just friggin pain in the ass.

Because those who are happy with their device, don't post. They're busy enjoying their devices. Don't discourage others who will more than likely get a perfect device because a select few who have problems. It is very unfortunate that you have had problems and I hope you finally get one that you are pleased with.
As for the flicker. It is not 'definitely' hardware. The one x had similar issues with the tegra 3 GPU. It was solved with an ota update. I had that issue and my one x is perfect now. We in the one x forums were certain it was hardware. Loads of flaming and difference of opinions and it was sorted with a small update - I hope you guys with issues will get the same treatment.

Hi guys,
thanks for lending me ur precious time towards my thread. I am out in the market to get a phone, lets say a smartphone..
And the only one that could impress me was the NEXUS 4 !!!
But the problem is , I live i India, and the phone hasnt released here...but yet a few websites. like ebay are selling 'em..
Is the device awesome? Compared to HTC One x+??
And is it capable of handling all future apps??
And last one, should i get a phone now or shud i wait...??
THANK YOU...Regards
bought the device 2 days ago .........
first impression :- design and feel = great
turned it on was dissapointed as the display was washed out as i came from amoled note screen ...... but fixed it with kernelsa and the brightness was too good in sunlight
started liking it alot
but suddenly started using 3G and phone got crazy hot in low signal and even normal signal
so hot that i couldnt take calls
the performance is the best but its a phone first so im returning mine
these problems can be fixed using kernels but i still wont be keeping it :/

I would wait until google io next wednesday to see if they announce an updated nexus 4, and then make your decision. Prices may go down on the original nexus 4 if they do.
Is the device awesome? I would say its the real google android experience, always first to get updates. So many roms/kernels to flash or you could just stay stock. Its really your decision, but more importantly I'd make sure you get good coverage with a nexus 4 in your area.

I'm supposed to pick up mine on 15th. Can't keep an eye on the keynote due to time-zone difference.
I don't give a rat's a$$ about LTE support and 32gb storage so my question is: should I postpone the pickup date to 16th of May? Are there any features other than LTE & 32gb storage Google might have up it's sleeve?
A price drop seems kinda irrelevant too because it'll probably take weeks after the announcement for the prices to decrease in retail stores.
Appreciating any advice.
weeks? retail stores?
google playstore
Ordered mine 2-days ago.. I doubt we will see anything from Google l/0 re: a new Nexus..
I'd assume we would have heard rumors by now as Google is not very good at keeping secrets..

Let's hope it's only a minor update :fingers-crossed:
Let's just say if 4.3 gets announced at I/O your phone the N4 will get it before any other non Nexus device. If the latest and greatest software is one of your needs the N4 will be a very good bet.
I'm interested in this too as I just received my N4. I haven't even opening the shipping box yet because I don't know if I should start using the phone or wait until I/O....if I open the phone box I get charged a restocking fee if I return it. I move to the UK in 2 weeks so I'm not even sure if LTE matters as it's quite expensive there. But, I am really more interested in a price drop in the 16GB.
Recommend waiting or just going for it?

I am by no means an expert nor do I have any inside knowledge but I doubt the 16GB will get a price drop even if they release an refreshed Nexus 4..
I just ordered one a few days ago and as soon as it arrives I am cracking that box open..
Plus, since you just bought it, I am sure if Google did announce a price drop you could call and get some sort of credit for the price difference..

He came from a Galaxy S2 Skyrocket so he does not even notice the lag..
After the nexus and using it for two days i love it for its pure experience and performance but it heats up a lot according to my liking so going to return it if i can
After other phones go
S4 - dont like touch wiz and late updates
But i certainly love samoled and the octa core laggy
Htc one - bad button placements allround from power to home buttons and lack of detail in camera
I dont know which way to go even if i return the n4
Unlock the boot loader, root it and install a custom kernel and say goodbye to extreme heat.

hello nexus 4 owners.im really hating this phone now. i bought this in november 8 2013. and from then it has been on service center 2 times. and it already has been exchanged one time. now again i need to send service center because this f***ing piece of sheep battery is acting weird. along with the modem that simply dosent work when not on charged. i know other 2 ppl that had problem with their n4 and they exchanged and till now is good. just me or any1 else is not liking this build quality?
i've had mine since initial release in 2012 and have not had a single problem with it. I think the build quality is fine.

guess im the bad luck guy. however searching on google made me think that you were the good luck one. because there are tons of complaints on n4 battery. camera(random reboots/weird noizes), emmc bricking and others... .as my n4 goes. i sold all of my lg products b4 they start getting problems. and im really thinking in changing my n4 to htc one
Go N5.
I've had the N4 for almost a year now and haven't had a single hardware problem. You must have gotten unlucky. Sorry. Did you get your N4 second hand?

got at the lg coference in brasil, when they announced that they would sell oficialy here.
PS: i would get a n5. but still not being sold oficialy here. however some leaks are reporting that lg already sent a request ANATEL(The thing that regulates eletronics here) but to be released could take 6 months ;/
