***Show the best part of your WP7 Home Screen***

Folks, For a change, lets have some fun.
I know we would luv our DVP's and our friends would envy it, if it was not for the Wifi and freeze issues.
So, for a moment lets presume that we do have a bug-free DVP. Now come show the best part of your home screen!!!
Here is mine ( a bit photoshopped for the luv). And this will be my profile pic for sometime.

If it makes you feel any better I was on the phone with dell customer support earlier today and according to the they are supposed to be releasing a new firmware update this week or next that should resolve the wifi issue and freezing. Take that with a grain of salt though as it seems dell has said this to customers before.

How to test Color

How do I test for the color on my Nexus 7 to make sure its up to par and not yellowish or anything? I mean as far as I can tell its not but I want to make sure so I can replace and get the best tablet I possibly can.

I would just say if it looks good to you and pictures and movies look similar to how they do on you computer its fine. The problem worth looking for is screen lift.

Take a picture of a magazine with a good camera. Send it to your n7 and see the difference.
Please report feedback.

Put this message up on both your computer monitor and the Nexus, and compare:

I can confirm my power button works like the day I first got the phone!! (Keyboard buttons seem to have nicer feedback too!)
Ebay link to the part (ships from Florida):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/290819579517?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Video with the teardown of the Epic (and reassembly is just the teardown backwards, **MAKE SURE NOT TO LOSE ANYTHING**)
Hope this is a great help to all of you who have been plagued by the dreaded half working or completely inoperable power button. Cheers!!

I fixed the video link and have a picture of the part from the ebay page too.

Broken touch panel, help?

So some things happened and my Nexus 7's touch screen got junked.
I've sent the device to ASUS support hoping they would fix it at reasonable price...
I was wrong. They want to charge me almost 75% of the damn price for an LCD change.

This is 210 USD. Any leads on cheaper ways to fix the damn display?

Get a faulty unit from somewhere like Ebay/Craiglist, but make sure the fault aint the screen.
Then take the screen off the faulty one, and replace it onto yours?

Nexus 7 touch unresponsive

I have been using this device for more than 5 yrs. Recently screen rotation was not working so I tried to repair it by myself after watching some videos and forums. It was an easy process but due to my curiosity I dug into the hardware some more. During the process I mistakenly broke a piece from ZIF connector which was connected to the display. I don't know whether this could do anything to the touch. Now the touch becomes unresponsive. I am also thinking that the digitiser could be faulty but not ready to invest in a new one without knowing the real reason. Why this connector is for. Could this be the culprit? If so do I need to change the daughterboard? You can see the picture
