I just unboxed my TF...gave it the "once over" looking for all the things mentioned in the various threads....sharp edges, dust in the camera lens, dust under the screen, dead pixels, lack of charging indication, won't charge...etc....
So far....none of those problems seem to have made it to my TF....what a relief!
The quality LOOKS (appears) to be very good...and the finishing seems just fine...
I did the initial set up and everything seemed to go ok there too...no weird lock ups....no dead screen areas....
I set up gmail to be accessed from the screen widget...it just seemed to be a better way than just leaving that "0 emails" thing there....
I'm psyched! and I DON'T want to wait 8 hours to be finished with the charge!! waaaa...
It came charged at 61%...
Congratulations!
I got my TF yesterday, it's very nice although I have a slighly quieter left speaker and I think I've experienced my first SOD.

Hey I just unboxed mine as well a few minutes ago, and really have no issues either. But does yours have an led charging indicator? I mean when its off. Not in the actual hc os. When i first plugged in the adapter it turned on by itself, ran through the setup, and said it was charging. Im real anal with my gizmos and want it to fully charge before using it, so I shut it down. No indicator though? Im sure this is for everyone but can't find consistent results? Is your indicator on? By the way, congrats on getting one!

I don't see one....just on the screen it has the percentage and in the lower right corner a little icon with a lightening bolt....
There is NO indicator FYI
Have fun with it.
Did you look for light bleeding? Turn the brightness all the way up and hop into the gallery app, should see some if you have any.

Most of the issues are Honeycomb-related and can be fixed easily via updates. The hardware on this thing is quite solid. Enjoy your new toy.

I'm a new user of Tapatalk and couldn't purchase it from the market on the TF, so I went to the Market on my Evo 4G and purchased there. Then I went to the Market on my TF and it showed up as an available app for install. It works great on my TF with no FCs.

Oh sorry mr Paul, but if you read the op's post carefully they said no issues with....lack of charge indicator. So, I thought he/she may have had a light or something? I know there isn't an led indicator now. THANK YOU. The device should still be charging after a shut down. Simple feature, and its not on the tf? Not a big deal.

Usually it's the exact opposite.
@ OP: I had a slight burn in problem awhile back but it was caused by hex defense wanting to be played at max brightness for an extended amount of time. The problem fixed itself by me turning the screen off for a couple of minutes. Now when hex defense asks to bump up the screen brightness I say hell no.
A quick Googling does show that OLED displays are perhaps more susceptible than LCD, I had it mixed up. Either way, I haven't personally ran into it on my AMOLED, sorry for the mistake!

Lcd can burn in. In your instance, you would have had to left that screen on for a long time. Ive had a phillips plasma for 4 years with no burn in, it just seems wierd.

Well, actually I just noticed something. I get rapid, severe burn in on CM7, where I would get burn in after 5 - 10 minutes, but on Sense roms, I've never encountered burn in. Maybe it's something to do with the AOSP driver?

thats what i was wondering before.. cept the other way around. I was getting the burn in effect awhile back running senseless revo.. switched to cm7 to see but still get the burn in.. mostly on white or bright backgrounds.. mostly stick to dark themes. oh well.. gonna use this dinc til it dies.. then swap out to my new spare dinc..
I only use sense ROMs, and my brightness is typically very high, and i have never encountered any burn in. Can't speak for AOSP since I've never used them for more then an hour at a time. Just not my thing. lol

Sorry. I was wondering if there was a fix for when you pressed down on the side of the screen and it started to ripple like an lcd

Yeah, I dont think an rma is going to fix this. Don't squeeze it so hard... fixed.
Mine does it as well, so not knockin ya but. It has yet to be an issue in actual real life use. Sure you can sit there and pinch the thing, but just stop, and you'll never notice it again.
I am very OCD about my devices. Honestly, as long as I know that nothing is wrong with it in that category, I will be fine
I noticed the ripple on two of the three N7's I tried. While I think it probably SHOULDN'T be happening (i.e., it represents an underlying design and/or manufacturing flaw), I don't think it will cause any issues. Like the screen lift, it's one of those things where it's technically a defect, but it's not likely to cause any performance or other issues.
If I hadn't had other problems with mine, I'd have put the best N7 in a case and forgotten all about those two issues.
What were your other problems
My first one had pretty good screen seperation all along the left side, and pretty bad lightbleed from the left side.
My new one has barely any lift (just a 1 inch section, about a third the way up on the left side), but has the lcd ripple.
The screen seperation isn't even noticeable unless you lay it flat and look across the glass and this one feels solid, the first one was spongy.
I can handle the ripple, because it only happens when im messing with it, trying to make it happen.

Tried it on mine. I am kind of shocked at how hard it had to press to get it to ripple. I am hoping get that the op has a worse case than I do because if not this is crazy. I would never pinch that hard I every day use.

So it seems that my screen on my tablet did not turn off last night in my blurex case and I now have screen burn. I can clearly see October 12 2:31am and the lock icon on any of my my screens has anyone had this issue yet so far? If so due to the nature of what has happened thing Asus would replace it?

Wow. I didn't think LCD's had screen burn in?! Try to download one of those Stuck Pixel apps that flash the whole screen through multiple different colors. You can typically get rid of it by inversing.
Although I haven't had any LCD monitor get burn in... ever.

I had this problem too, my solution is not to let the screen turned on constantly
My co-worker has this problem. On any dark app you can see the bottom icons on the home screen. He leaves the screen on laying around sometimes, but I didn't think it was THAT bad.
The same happened to me a month ago I just hard rebooted it and it dissapeared by itself
Sent from my GT-I9100
Wait a day or two and see if it disappears.
Yeah at first I was freakin out even a little angry but what I did was downloaded stuck pixel fixer (lol) from the market ran it and then lowered down the backlight to the lowest it could go with root dim and left it on a white page for 20 minutes. Surprisingly enough it is just about gone.
One thing is with the blurex case after a reboot and having the cover closed it doesn't seem to turn off the screen even tho the magnet is touching. You have to wait till it boots then turn it off or close the lid. All in all its resolved. I know it doesn't tend to happen with LCDS but that was the best way to put it

I bought my Moto X around the end of September and about two weeks after getting it, I had a screen burn-in from the notification bar and navigation bar. I let Motorola know and they happily replaced it. However few weeks after owning the second one I experienced the issue again and I let them know. They told me they were stunned and that I was literally the only person who had reported the issue.
What I am wondering is if anyone else has experienced this. I know it is a common problem with AMOLEDs, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon.

I saw burn in on a display model at Best Buy. It was the big Motorola M logo that displays at the boot animation. If you looked at a white web page or any solid, but light colored image, you could see the ghostly circle the size of a quarter complete with the swishy M in the middle of the screen. Got them to open a second demo model and boot it up so I could see a clean screen and bring it to their attention. Weird thing to have burned in, too.

Op did you leave both phones display on for 2weeks straight at 100% brightness? Lol
I have had mine for 2 months, do at least 4 hours sot daily, most of which is on reddit and xda, so nav and status are almost always static... I have zero sign of burn in.
I had it pretty good on my s3, but I blame ingress for that... Being outside playing so much and had it at 100% brightness because that screen was so dark... Even then it took at least 2 months before I saw any burn in and I was playing A LOT!
Can't imagine how you would get burn in on two devices, each in two weeks... Seems like that's a feat that you have to try and do, lol.

I'd be hard pressed to believe this as well... I've had numerous amoled devices and abused the crap out of them and even then, it took months to get any sort it noticeable burn in... If it were one device then I wouldn't second guess it, chalk it up to manufacture defect... But two in a row? I'm curious as to what the op uses his phones for and if he ever turns off the screens... Even store display models take a while to get burn in and they are on 3-4 times as much as a typical power user.

I'll have to send you a pic of my GNex then, so you can see the perfect "ghost" of a Pandora logo in the middle of the screen from running the display full time in my car dock.
I also remember similar complaints when the GNex first came out, of people claiming they were getting burn-in on the notification bar area, and I thought they were ridiculous at the time. Now, not so much.
It happened to my gnex, so I'm not surprised that it happened on this phone too.
I'm not saying you're faking it, but 2 weeks is a little too soon for it to be happening. The gnex only had the issue after a year or so. Are you keeping the display on all the time when charging or something?
They will eventually burn in if you set the screen to never time out and leave it displaying the same thing for hours or days on end. Most store models have some level of burn it. In normal use cases it should never be an issue though.

Just passing by, but 2 weeks is entirely possible.
If you keep using the phone with the notification bar displayed and then two weeks later open a full screen browser, you will most likely notice burn in if you look close enough.
It's extremely easy to do.
I bought an S3 from ebay with real bad screen burn in (that the seller didn't mention). She actually didn't believe me and accused me of scamming her until I replied back with a contact name and number that was burned into the top of the screen from the messaging app (the keyboard was also burned in, I guess she constantly texted this person).
I think burn in is more likely to happen when brightness is higher. I had a GNex and GS3 that never got any sort of burn in but I also rarely had the brightness above 50%.
you know, now that I look, I have it too. It's faint, and I thought it was from the Nova Launcher beta, but ****, this is screen burn in. Damn.
---------- Post added at 05:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:13 PM ----------
I don't even use my phone that much. Generally around 1.5 or 2 hours screen time per day. Brightness is about half. Kinda crazy.
Recommend using an app such as:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.feetstech.screenburn&hl=en
to minimize this. Most plasma TV's have something like this built in as they are also prone to burn-in. Use it for 10 minutes every once in a while (even if you don't see burn in) and it should prevent it.
I got screen burn in on my S4 after 2 months. But I also blame ingress for that. I have a X coming and hope to minimize that by not playing ingress so much or play on another device. One thing that I do for the status bar to help out is with nova launcher I have it set to swipe the notification bar on top away. I try to leave it off the screen as much as possible. But yes amoled screens suck for burn in.
I usually turn my phone to the 270 degree position to have the navigation bars switch sides every now and then. That helps a bit.
And with AMOLEDs, it's more important to turn off the screen when not in use rather than let it time out. I have mine set to 10 minutes, but I usually manually turn off the screen because I know AMOLEDs are prone to burn-in over time.
