Guys,
I ordered a N7000 a few days ago. I noticed today that the N7000 dropped by $25 (from $700 to $675) and another version the GT-N7000 is also being sold for $15 more. What is the difference between these two as I Googled but cant find anything definitive? Thanks in advance for the feedback.
Hmmm, i would also want to know...

Edit: On Samsung's site it says GT-N7000, so i just think that some people only call it the N7000.

I was wondering if maybe it was a slightly different model. IN the end the code names are close enough I guess.
I think they're one and the same, the only difference is they omitted the "GT" part.
I ordered the "N7000" from Amazon, on the actual product it states "GT-N7000"
It might be regional thing but its the same, my box has GT-N7000.. I believe this is just a coding for samsung like the SGH-I9100 and on some parts its GT-I9100
Bump..
Does anyone know the difference? It's April 2012, and they still have price differences. I ordered 3 so far, and all of them had the screen tinting issue. (Screen tint changes from green to red from time to time when I'm perfectly holding it still.)
I don't know if I should take my chances and try the more expensive GT-N7000 labeled ones. I think all of the ones I ordered so far was marked as N7000.

that's just bad luck. the only thing common should be the pink tint when taking pictures on 100% pure white backgrounds.
NO difference there are one device. They just omitted the GT. Its GT-N7000. "GT" is a family in Samsung's phone's lineup.
Now, why there is a price difference that I wouldn't know. Maybe one is open box or refurbished or something,,,,,

Then I'm either terrible at luck, or samsung's quality control sucks or they have a very low bar for quality.

Both are sold as new on Amazon (fullfilled by Amazon), but I never seen one completely sealed.
I don't know if I should try it one more time from a different seller in Amazon, but same fullfilled by amazon. Returns are easy, but I just hate that I'm spending so much time on finding the one without screen issues. I don't notice it during the day so I finish setting up everything, and then before I go to bed, that's when I find out the screen tints changing in the dark even with all automatic brightness and color stuff disabled.

I got mine from Negri Electronics and the box was still factory sealed in shrink wrap.
As for the tint changing try UNchecking this box:

Yes, I have seen several new Note with screen issues (first batch with free flip cover). The good thing is, if you get the screen replaced at Samsung Service Center, the replacement has better quality.

How many of you are having manufacturer defects out of the box?
Had a dead pixel on mine that I picked up from GameStop
Also it seems the screen is coming up on the left like if the adhesive is giving out already.
I spoke to GameStop who referred me to play store but then play store said any warranty claims have to be done through the retailer. Obviously GameStop is out of stock but they said they were emailing corporate for me today to ask for another unit to be sent. So I should have mine replaced around Wednesday hopefully.

I got so used to amoled screens I forgot about dead pixels on LCD. Is it possible it being an LCD it might just be stuck?
Anyone ever have any success with one of those stuck pixel fix apps?
Either way I'm doing an exchange because of the screen not being recessed on left side properly. But hopefully no dead pixels on next one.

Lol. Looks like trolling but I did read in another thread a guy had issue with his screen stating to come off his I/O device. I noticed mine while I was holding it on the left side the screen was giving in and making some creaking and such. Upon closer inspection I noticed on the left side/middle area the screen was actually sitting above the frame. Everywhere else it was sitting nicely and recessed under the frame.
Anyway the risk of defects is always going to be higher with the first runs.

Download a dead pixel test app on play store. Its basically solid color backgrounds you alternate so in some cases you'll be able to see the pixel in a red background etc.

Sure...its a bit difficult to see on a picture but its basically the screen rising above the border in one area so the edge of the screen is exposed. That same area is soft as well where pressing on makes the screen move in and out with creaking. The rest of the edges are sturdy.
Dead pixel I'm not posting photo since I'm sure everyone knows what that looks like but its located on the app drawer button in portrait mode. Shows up the most in white backgrounds.

Mine has a similar issue, its on the left middle section. Whatever is holding the screen down is coming loose like the adhesive. The screen works fine but you can see the screen is raised a couple a cm or so. Makes a slight creak sound.
Might contact Asus for warranty and see how they do it or just give Gamestop some time so i can exchange it.

Bet this is going to be a known issue all around. I was able to push it down but i figure its adhesive so its eventually going to happen again and again until the adhesive isn't sticky anymore. Sad days but other than that this tablet is solid.

Well according to ifxit, they are small retaining clips that hold it so i hope its not a broken clip. I could easily put more adhesive down a it looks like it just pops up.

I really appreciate it and thank you. Now I know what to look for once my N7 arrives.
My Gamestop doesn't have any extras, calling Google to see if they can do anything. I would like to see if i can get a replacement sent out and then send this one back but we shall see.
I returned 3 transformer primes for screen defects. Asus qc isn't the greatest. It's probably why they're prices are so good for what you get.
On mine when the brightness is on the lower end the screen starts to flicker a little. I think it's software related. But once you set the brightness higher it stops doing it.
Oh and it only does that on white backgrounds like google voice search.

Well the picture is showed by that thread that i provided on another site but okay I guess.
As you can see you saw the dots but they aren't different colors and don't sparkle. The second picture is in the sunlight.
I have the same "issue" as TC, it doesn't sparkle like in the videos or pictures I've seen. The effect is very weak but perhaps it does require strong light like sun rays.

It does require strong light at the right angles to "sparkle." I'm sure still having the glass protection on doesn't help either.

No, it's a good thing you posted pictures. It is definitely because you still have the factory plastic on the back. It really, really dulls the effect. I had the same disappointment when I first got my N4. I was actually going to post a topic about it but then my full body protector arrived and I peeled off the factory protector and applied the new one and now it sparkles beautifully. Peel that plastic off and then report back.
LOL he got a replacement phone anyway? you can just keep your charger, then you have 2! 2 usb cables are nice for a usb car charger or something
anyway, if your phone is flawless, you might be better off cancelling that replacement because what if your new phone has issues? You are unable to send the new phone back because then you will be charged again. Always that fear... then you'll have to deal with another RMA but this time you have a faulty phone in your hands.
also remove that plastic on the back as suggested.

i picked one up as well, although it was technically 279 and then listed a 30 off code on the page making it 249 at final checkout
just hope its one of the 312 or later sn's to avoid alot of the screen issues i've been hearing about
also picked up a black smart cover for it for 13 bucks from newegg (the three segment flap type)
the pad should be here by the weekend so i can try it out on some long flights were taking, unfortunately the case will be here...sometime after that
I ordered one also. Comes in the mail tomorrow. Really looking forward it. Ordered a TPU case as well but it won't be here till Saturday.

Mine came in on Monday with the same sticker, but in a vertical orientation. The sticker makes me think it's new but when I opened it I found a few random strands of 2in long hair and the case close to the charge port seems slightly bent. Other than that mine seems new though with the random hair and slightly bent plastic case I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm if the tablet is supposed to be in a protective bag or not? Mine wasn't it was just sitting on the top tray of the box with the protective screen.

My S/N starts with 310, so I'm assuming that is one of the newer runs? Other than the fishiness of it I haven't seen anything about the tablet other then that deformed part that has bothered me about it. I ran a dead pixel app to see if there was anything and no dead pix and no backlight bleed to really notice. I get about 4-5 hrs of screen on time from social media browsing and chromecasting with BT and GPS turned off, wifi on, auto dim on. I don't know if it's an issue but the knock on is sometimes non-responsive requiring 2-3 tries before it wakes up.

my understanding is that 310 is the early run, followed by 311 and the slightly less troublesome 312 line

Oh it is? Yah I guess I didn't do my research well enough. There is a slight bit of bleed/halo, but it's just on the bottom edge of the screen and only really noticeable if I have like max brightness on using a backlight bleed app I found. Wondering if it is worth it to see if Newegg will exchange it and if I'll end up getting charged for a return/shipping. Wished the sale had been for the black version though.

yeah you'll have to pay for retuurn shipping i'm sure, try the bleed app with brightness down like below 40% thats where the spotting usually shows up
Got mine last night from slow UPS. Came in box that looked untouched. No seal sticker but not a finger print in sight. 311 serial number with no light bleed. One thing I did notice tho is that one side has a sharp edge compared to the other. Not a big deal cause my Amzer case comes today. I love this thing so far!

Mine starts with 309 lol. no issues though (knocks on wood)
Hello all...first post on these boards. I'm glad to find these forums.
I got the white version when Newegg had them on sale recently. Mine came pristine and appears 100% new. I see no issues with dead pixels, backlight bleed or streaking. It is from the S/N 310 run so I guess I am fortunate. I'm very pleased with the tablet.
BTW- Newegg now has both the black and white models on sale for $249-no coupon code needed. When I purchased, only the white one was discounted but honestly the color did not matter much to me. I will say I think the white one looks great and maybe a little more distinctive.
My local best buy price matched the $249.99 price found on newegg, so if you can't wait like me and don't mind paying sales tax there's another option.
BTW I got a 209 series from best buy. Waiting for my titanium backup to finish syncing to test screen for issues.
Update... Doesn't appear to be any bleed through on the screen, but the gamma is off a little bit. Despite that the screen looks excellent!
The black one is on sale for $250, too. I just ordered one to replace my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Should be a substantial upgrade.
It has been awhile since my last order with Newegg. They called me to verify my info and to ask why I'm shipping to a different address. Um, I MOVED. I appreciate the caution, though.

wow, i'm surprised by this
So I have read here and elsewhere that some of the common complaints about the MXPE are battery doesn't last long, yellow tint on the screen, 808 running hot, laggy screen response, jerky scrolling, etc.. Not saying these are really issues, just saying these are some of the things I've read about here or elsewhere.
I'm curious if these things appear to be equally common across MotoMaker, Amazon, and BestBuy sourced phones or if, for example, Motomaker phones are more prone to these issues.
In other words, are the chances of getting an MXPE 'with issues' any different with one that was pulled off the line for MotoMaker customization than with one that came from a large batch of the same configuration intended for Amazon or BestBuy?
Thoughts?
Thanks!
From the experiences I've read it seems like early motomaker editions were more likely to have a faulty speaker. That's about it.
you have to remember that most people come to the forums to complain rather than to praise.
My MXPE is perfect!
MotoMaker phone here. None of the above mentioned problems, and the only annoyances I have aren't really worth crying over.
1. If Moto Display isn't active, when pressing the lock button to wake the phone, sometimes there's this blue-ish glitch thing going on near the bottom of the screen for a fraction of a second.
2. The motor that controls the vibrating feels lose? I don't even know if that's an actual problem or not, just not used to it compared to other phones. Vibration feels different.
Amazon 32gb here. My only issue is slight light bleed in one spot and the occasional studder when scrolling from Google now back to a home screen. My battery is a tank (really good life), the phone runs cool, screen color is great.
^I can echo all aspects from above. When it's a dark room how much light bleed is reasonable? It comes from the lower left side.
I don't care much for customizization from Moto.
Picked up the 16GB from BB today, and pretty happy with it so far.
Got a total of 4 phones from Amazon, 3 of them had yellow tint screen..
Phones are black 16gb x2 and black 32gb x2

Got mine from Moto Maker with a really crappy display panel. Had a light white spot in the upper right quadrant and about three areas where light bleed was visible. I think you will find this across the board. It doesn't do Motorola any good to assemble custom devices for people that are faulty. You would think they would have better quality control, but they are Chinese owned now, and that usually means bad things to come. I am getting a replacement but I will be interested to see how much better it will be. If it is much better then time will tell how well it holds up and lasts. If it turns out that it doesn't hold up very well then it will be the last device I buy from Motorola. It's too bad because they used to be very rock solid. The Droid Razr that I have that is 4+ years old has less light bleed than this new Moto X Pure. My Galaxy S4 has none whatsoever, of course it's AMOLED. We will see how the next device turns out. If it sucks too, I will report back.
Have the same light white spot on the right upper corner also i got it from BesBuy 16gb Black

There was no light white spot when i first got it , it become apparent after the 14 days past. So i couldn't even go and exchange. So im gonna try to call Motorola see what they can do.

Wow that doesn't bode well. My worry is that I want to unlock the boot loader and root. I can just see Motorola trying to say that the unlock has caused the issue and refuse my claim. I know unlocking voids your warranty but I have heard from a few that Motorola will still accept the claim if it is a physical failure not related to software. I just don't trust it. If they burn me then I will never buy Moto again. I just hope I get a solid replacement device with no white spots and minimal light bleed. I would like a perfect display but at this price, it might not be possible. it seems some are lucky enough to receive one free of light bleed, but I think many more have moderate to serious light bleed. To me that is poor quality control on the part of Motorola(Lenovo). Should have my replacement buy Thursday and I will report back on it's quality.
Its doesn't show good in the camera but in real life its bothering.
Here one more maybe it shows better, the first one i had from best buy had a black dust stuck in between the screen and the gorilla glass right in the middle of the screen like a black dust not dead pixel.
To me that looks like the lcd is being pinched is it in a case?
No its not in the case, I think its being pinched also maybe there is a screw right on that spot, but i dont wanna open the back to see.

Not sure if you want to deal with Motorola and RMA but you might be able to get another phone...I had the same problem but mine was easily solvable. It was the case causing it, and that's getting replaced.
I would suggest asking for someone higher when on the phone and also try the Motorola forum and see if you can get some help there
Amazon 32 Gb here, aside from somewhat of a rattly volume toggle, no problems so far.

Mine was exactly the same so I think whatever is in that spot is pressing against the screen. I immediately contacted Motorola and initiated an RMA which worked perfectly. They sent me the RMA within one hour and I received a code to build a new phone about 45 minutes after that. I ordered the new one the same day I RMA'd the faulty one. Calling Moto is a PITA, they are Indian and some have heavy accents which makes it hard to understand them. Their headsets absolutely suck, they sound way too loud and their voice just sounds like a bunch of noise. I have resorted to using the chat instead and that pisses me off less. In any case I can't complain about the RMA process, it has gone well so far. My new phone should be here Wednesday. We will see how that one looks. Hopefully something in their manufacturing hasn't gone wrong causing these phones to have that spot. There was a few others on Reddit reporting the same problem and it's always the upper right quadrant.
I think its gonna be the same, they all are the same way manufacturing, i was at best buy today and i saw the display model had the same thing on the same side upper right white spot. Im guessing maybe the wanted to put the nitrification light there lol?
Hello guys!
The fingerprint scanner on my Graphite Nexus 6P is another color than the rest of the body? For me it seems to be greener than the body.
Is it the same for you?
Anyone?
Can you show us a picture.

Did you checked the photos I provided? Are you sure this is normal? I did not see this on my first model
Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...
It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

so, ppl are telling you it's normal, but you're still asking ppl to tell you it's normal?
ok

Delete the pics with your iMEI and S/N number sticker displaying. That is not something you share with anyone except your carrier.

Ok, I did this. What about the problem I have? So far only one nexus user told me it is normal. I need more opinions.

its normal. you also have to consider they are different materials which will affect the color a little. I have aluminum and its the same. scanner and bottom are different shades. nothing to worry about

I might be a little OCD ambout my phone. The reason i am a little worried is because I do not remember my first unit having this. But on the first one I had a bad pinkish display....on this one the display is good...but i noticed today the different colors.

Looks normal. What exactly is your concern? Does everything function as it should?

Yes...it does. It is not about functionality tho. I just do not know if this is how it is supposed to look. As I said I do not remember my first unit (built in Octomber) to have two different colors. Or at least it was more of the same shade. That is why this one seems weird to me.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Well yea...I am kinda worried it was a refurbished device. But the thing is...I do not know if it was indeed refurbished or not. The guy at the shop where I requested a replacement opened the second one in front of my eyes. He cut the exterior seal and also the seal on the box. So...might it be refurbished? How can I tell?

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P
