N4 Not showing up in devices - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have my N4 and its not in my device list on play.google.com. Anyone else having this issue?

I have the a similar issue and a few other members. I ordered the N4 and a bumper in the same transaction at around 857am pst and there was an order processing error but I refreshed and it apparently went through. And it shows up in my Google wallet and I got an email confirmation and an order number but when I xheythe play store it just shows 2 bumpers for 19.99 not the phone and bumper but when I click on 'info' it takes me to the wallet with the phone and the bumper. I called Google and they showed the same thing 2 bumpers but when they went more into it it showed my phone and bumper so they said I should be ok since I was charged the full amount and that's what the order is for. So I'm hoping they are right and ill just have to wait and see! I'm thinking the play store orders section is glitchy hence the errors.

Had that with my n7. It just took a while to show up. Some said that clearing market data/resigning in to google on the device refreshed it.

Trying to buy the Spigen Neo Hybrid

I'm trying to buy the Neo Hybrid case but it's not letting me, an error keeps popping up saying "AVS.... Address does not match the one on the cardholders." So I figured maybe I made an error so I redid everything and the same error pops up. I looked at my bank account and they charged me twice!!! I don't know if this post should even belong here but I need some help. It's obviously to late to call them, should I wait until the morning? I swear they better give me that free screen protector

[Q] What to look out for when buying a used Nexus 4?

Here in Pakistan. I'm going to buy a 2nd hand/used Nexus 4. obviously the display, screen etc won't be NEW. But what do I have to look out the MOST for getting it. How to check :-
If the Screen is not replaced? (Touch responsiveness etc)
Battery ingenuine or heavily tampered
If the display is bad or put to bad use?
What you should do is get the cheapest one you can find and make sure it is covered under warranty. Then call google, tell them you got your nexus as a gift and it is not working right, and they will send you a new one. My friend did this and it worked flawlessly.

Advising someone to commit fraud isn't the best idea.

Not really fraud if there is something wrong with it...

The first thing you should look out for is whether the device is legit or not. You can do this by looking at the model number on the box. You can also check the kernel, model number, baseband, android version, etc via the phone's settings. All current nexus 4s should run android 4.2.2. To check the internal hardware, I would run a benchmark. If the benchmark score is close or higher than the one listed, then the device should be legitimate. As for the screen, look around the bezel for imperfections and signs of damage. The screen should be black when off, not gray or greenish. However, not as black as the actually bezels and chins. Play around with it, if its genuine it should be responsive.
Lastly, for the battery, you should try charging the device and if the device becomes warm or too hot the battery may have been changed with the wrong MaH and can be aftermarket, possibly able to do damage to your device. If it isn't hot during charging, ask to try out the phone and play games. If the battery life is acceptable, go for it.
Keep in mind that the nexus 4 tends to get hot when running intensive apps. This is normal. Try out the call quality and reception the device could have a damaged radio or speaker and such. Hope this helps.

N7 Dead on Arrival

Yep. Ordered 7/10 got it today 7/12. Opened it. Plugged it in. Nothing. Did the steps that googled emailed me. Nothing. Screen just flickers when trying to turn it on. Awesome. Don't you love when you pay for something, it comes and doesn't work at all??? Guess it has to happen to somebody! So at least I won that... Will update on how long Google takes to send another one.

Many people have the same manufacturing issue... It just didn't usually kick in this early.
There's two things this could be... Assuming you haven't already sent it in.
If the screen is kind of like an antrace and noisy, then it has zero charge and needs desperately, a few hours electricity.
If it only flashes like you say. There is a common issue with nexus 7 issue where the cable hooking the battery to the device becomes detached.
The easy fix I would do in your position would be to slip it open and reconnect the cord, as it is in the front. The case is also very easy to get off with a flathead screwdriver, or from dropping it... Not the best design. I did alot of research when mine was bootlooped and very certain that is your problem. Hope this helps if you didn't send it in xD
Don't mess with it....send it in. Better to wait and start with a fully functional device, not one you had to fix to make work!!

Amen to that! My level of fixing tablets and phones is pretty high. Just got done replacing my Nexus 4 screen. Anyways, point I'm trying to make is... Open box and DOA? I don't think so. Already have the RMA process started. Hopefully this one will work. Should get it on Wednesday.
Crappy part is, this was a birthday gift that came in just in time. Too bad it doesn't work!

I guess I was lucky my only came with the loose screen. It has play in it when you tap the screen.

Nexus 6P box arrived without a phone inside

Has anyone else had this happen? I'm on the phone with Google now attempting to explain this issue.
I received the white cardboard box that had an intact seal around it. I opened the box, found a charger, 2 cables and instruction booklet.
Has anyone experienced this?
Wow that's weird. Where did you order from?

They can solve this by checking the weight of the package as of shipping.

They could - but that depends if they actually weighed the box, and didn't use that pre-informed label Google sends saying it weighs 2 pounds.
I personally haven't seen that happen.
I'd challenge them additionally to check your phone activations on your account and a 6P not being one of them.
Wow, speaking of Houdini! Bummer
Won't Google just wipe the phone using the serial or imei number ,I've heard of this with the iPhone and ipad, they just shut it down so its only any good as a paper weight

If we were Google, then yes I would very much think this, but he has zero to gain by posting on this forum asking us if it ever happened to us as well.

Come and get your replacement Note 7...PSYCHE!

Got 5 text messages on Tuesday, 3 on the Note 7 and 2 on my S7 Active, that replacement Note 7s were now available and to go to the nearest store to exchange mine. Went to the store yesterday and not only were they not aware of the text messages, but they had zero inventory of the replacements and no idea when they would be in. Called several nearby stores and same story. Way to go, AT$T. You have officially made a bad situation not of your doing even worse than it was. When I do get my replacement I am going to smash the old one in the store.
FINS UP! Sorry bro, all I got...
They never send that many texts.... How'd you get so many? Weird.
