Has anybody had a problem with the power button not working at all? If so.. is it easy to get it fix so that I can find someone to fix it for me, and not have to deal with either tmobile or htc....

The power button failing is a common problem on the nexus one, HTC will replace your phone, i'm not quite sure if you could fix it by yourself.
Simular thread (there are others), maybe some info for you (HTC would be your best bet):

The IMEI # is found below the battery inside the phone or on the box of your phone. as for your other question, i don't think there should be a problem with HTC.
Hi, go to Settings>About Phone>Status.
Amazon should be ok, but only HTC can confirm that...
Thank you all for ur help..

cracked my screen on my nexus 7 which i kinda expected once i received it, I saw the build quality was pretty crappy and I didn't buy a case yet.
I wanted to just buy a replacement screen and fix it myself. I live internationally so I can't be arsed with Asus costumer support and i hear its pretty bad anyway.
anyone have a clue when and were i can get a hold of screen replacement? cant seem to locate one. i'm not in a rush, i just bought a galaxy tab 2 instead.

The reference to another tablet makes me suspicious he is just posting this to hate on the N7 and talk up his other tab.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
LOL, relax guys i think i put to much info my bad..I just want to know the average time for screen replacements to become available for devices that just hit the market?
Hi guys I want to make a question. Today I saw the screen of my tablet broken in the side as you cab see in the photos. This didn't happen from dropping or press on it. It doesn't have signs of drop either. The tablet is full functional only this corner don't work. I want to ask if I can claim free repair from Asus because it's not my fault. The tablet is 15 days old and this happen by itself.
Thanks in advance

First of all, don't bump your thread so soon. Only bump if you've had no reply in 24 hours.
Now to answer your question, the only way you'll truly know is by asking them. Different situations are different so no one could really tell you.
Oh sorry about that. I wanted some opinions before I call. Anyway now the Asus support line is closed until Monday I think. I mean is it possible to replace it free or they don't change broken screen's no matter what?
Thanks for the fast reply and sorry again
Sent from my Nexus 7
I think they may do depending on the situation.
You'll just have to explain everything to them and hope for the best really.

generally a broken screen would be considered physical damage, which the warranty wouldnt cover. it would be very hard to prove that the screen broke all by itself, the weight of the proof would be on you. the only thing that might save you is getting the right customer service representative that is sympathetic to your cause. be very nice to them when you call.
Asus says it's not covered by warranty and the price to fix it is 150 €. So I'm going to buy new lcd+digitizer from eShop. Anyone knows were I can find it cheap?

Quite honestly, most just end up replacing the entire tablet because of the disproportionately high price for the LCD/digitizer.

I was reading this thread hoping that they would replace it. If you did not cause the crack under no circumstances should you be stuck stuck the bill. Period. I'm glad things worked out!

What did you tell Asus? I have the same problem and they quoted me 150usd to fix. I can't recall how the screen cracked. It just seem to happen out of nowhere.

This happened to me. Hit power button and screen cracked from middle left to bottom right. Its on itsway to Asus right now.
It had some screen lift on the left, but never bothered me. I can't help but think that's what caused it.
Cross your fingers for me !

sounds exactly the same heres the vid. if you read the comment the guys did get a free repair with asus admitted a manufacturing fault
Just a quick update. My tab reached Asus on Friday. Checked status and it says repair in progress. Hopefully this is good news, as I haven't been notified regarding a charge for repair

Update 2.
Received info that it is ready to ship. No charge. Asus came through on this one. Hopefully if anyone else suffers the same fate, the results will be the same

First off, not sure if this is in the right section but if its not please mods feel free to move. Also if this in anyway violates forum rules please remove.
With that said, as the title implies I need help from someone that fits the description of the title. Why? Long story, but I'll try summarizing it.
I bought a use nexus, everything works and its in perfect condition. Except that its blocked from T-Mobile. I hadn't notice this as I just recently tried activating it with them. before that I was with AT&T and everything worked perfectly. So what do I need? I would like to find someone who is willing to swap phones (same model). That only needs it for AT&T (or straight talk, etc). Like stated, phone is in perfect condition except a small scratch near the sim slot, Unlock boot loader, running Carbon ( I could put it back to stock). So please if you're willing to help me out PM me and we could work something out. Thanks.

If its blocked from T-Mobile it was stolen and the IMEI was blacklisted. Irreversible, unless you want to illegally change the IMEI
Google is your friend there

Nice information. So is there anyway to check a used phone if it is in any blacklist?
What do mean "it's blocked by Tmobile?"
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
As in bad IMEI number, up till yesterday I had no idea T-Mobile blocked phones. My guess is that the guy who sold it to me was doing fraud, report it lost so he could get another one. Reason being is that a few days later he hit me up asking me if I wanted another one of course I had no need for it so I just disregard his message...
Anyhow, if anyone is willing to do an swap. Let me know and we could work something out.
It works perfectly for at&t or any other carrier except T-Mobile :/

My guess is no, unless you call T-Mobile and ask em about the IMEI number. So if you're planning on purchasing a use T-Mobile phone call first!

Stolen/fraud and ATT will likely block the phone soon since they started sharing their blacklist database last year.
I feel for you. I also appreciate the full disclosure. But, I think that you're most likely stuck with it. After all this is a forum full of nexus owners so you'd be hard pressed to get a someone to even swap their nexus that's on the network of their choosing for one with a questionable esn. Perhaps if you sweetened the pot(throw in some $) you'd have better luck.
With that out the way... why didn't you demand a refund from the seller? Or at least swapped for the phone he text to try to sell you? Did you even tell the seller about the fact you couldn't activate the phone?

So yesterday evening I sent in my Nexus 4 to get a replacement due to my battery dying on me out of no where. The phone was rooted with aokp installed. I tried everything to try and boot it up and get it into fast boot to unroot but there was no luck there. So my question is have any nexus 4 owners that have had to get an RMA send there's in rooted? If so was Google able to get your phone up therefore causing you to pay for the replacement?

every device that ive ever sent back to google to get rma'd has been bootloader unlocked, root, custom rom/kernel. never a problem. last one was my nexus 7, stopped charging. generally, if its hardware related, theyll take care of it.

At least 1 person has already been denied RMA because they unlocked the bootloader, so they care.

I find that rather odd... I wonder if there was more to the story..
In the past I have sent Google unlocked, rooted, and custom ROM'd Nexus 7, a Galaxy Nexus, and a Nexus 10...
Never heard a peep from them..

I can't find the thread (guy probably deleted it) but basically the guy told the rep he unlocked the phone and he was then referred to some other department that then denied his RMA.
