Already opened? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my Nexus 7 and there was another layer of black tape that keeps that box closed. I peeled the top layer back to find another black piece of tape that had been cut.
Does this mean somebody already had this Nexus 7, sent it back, and then Google sent me this one? Or is this the norm? Everything seems to be in working order on the Nexus 7.
edit: thanks

Loose Back Cover

Is anybody else's back cover on their nexus 7 loose? The back cover on mine is noticeably loose on the right hand side in that when I squeeze or tap it I can hear it make contact with the front.

Uh, considering how many antennas attach to the back, I think you may want an RMA. no, it shouldn't feel like that.

Yes one of my n7 back cover was way loose on the top and I exchanged it. It shouldn't be loose like that and it should be closed tight at all spots.
Before returning it, I'd take it completely off and try to reseat it first. Then if it's the same, return it.

OK. Sounds like I'll have to exchange it. Thanks for all the replies. Surprised that there wasn't another thread on this topic...

Wait, So Uh, Is The Sticker Supposed to Be Taken Off?

See http://www.google.com/nexus/#/7 this?
Notice how the sticker on the bottom back is on? Was that supposed to be on? Because I removed it, and it came off really easily.
Nothing major, just curious.

Mine is still there, just too lazy to remove
No one can force you to have it there for eternity.
I guess it's important to have the CE label etc on the device when shipping to inform the user...

Its probably there as a requirement for shipping. On your phone you will see those standards,most likely under the battery cover, but you can't access that on the nexus 7 so instead of ruining the aesthetic having them permanently printed, its nicer to just have a sticker.
Mine is gone gone gone too..
Just like the tags on the back of my tops.. and Top of my skirts that tend to stick out..
As well as the tags on my mattress we bought not so long ago.. Its a ffc requirement by manufacture to put them there. If it were to be non removable it would have been like the STUPID ASUS LOGO ..
NOW MY Question is can someone get that off and PUT A Real pc manufacturer name there . Asus used to be the best out there . I really thought google would have enough control over the nexus to make it better then standard asus devices. Now they are no doubt a last ranking provider .. what a shame...
Mine either never had one or came off accidentally when I was unwrapping it.

I took mine a way when I unboxed it, it is not important
Really?

Dont take it off, its supposed to leave residue, otherwise you cant claim warranty :-o
Take it off! Then go rip the tags off your mattresses.....live a little!

I removed it and placed it on the box just in case it will be needed in the future.

Has anyone sent in Google I/O White Nexus 7 for servicing?

I sent in my White Google I/O Nexus 7 to Asus for service for the screen lifting issue. It took them about a month to attempt to repair, and in the end they simply shipped me back a new Black Nexus 7. I was wondering if anyone else came across this problem. Has anyone been able to get back a fixed White Nexus 7?
The white backed Nexus 7's were a limited promo version. The white cover itself had a set of older antenna types in them. The black or dark backed cover have newer version antenna' s.
They actually upgraded you by giving you the dark cover.

Hmmm. Older antennas or stylish white color. Hard to choose

Where to buy missing screws in the UK?

Hi,
I have the screen lift issue and when opening my Nexus up I see I have two screws missing. Searching around I've read they are 3.2 mm Phillips screws with M1.4 thread. I know nothing about screws and have tried searching google with no luck. Does anyone know where I can buy these so I can try and replace my missing ones? The guy at HMV said their stock is all the same shipment so if I get a replacement it's most likely to have the same issue.
Any hardware shop. B&Q for example.

Asus apparently decided your screen attachment is better without those two screws, and you are going to replace them. Why?

Put them in and watch that screen rise even more

really? So the only fix is the glue? I thought as some seem to be fixing their screen lift by tightening the screws it would work. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Give it a shot if you want, sod putting glue anyway near my screen, if its that bad take it back

The screen lift isn't too bad more worried about it getting worse in the future. I'm thinking about returning it but my Nexus is perfect bar this lift and with all the issues being reported I'm worried I'll get one with even more issues.

White Nexus 4 back covers

Does anyone where i can get a back cover replacement for my White Nexus 4. I have looked all over the place and I can't find any of them anywhere. Is this due to them not making them anymore ?
If you run out of options, purchasing a white dbrand vinyl skin may remedy your problem temporarily.

This has all available nexus 4 parts, I don't think the white back has been released yet

Once it does become available however, is there any reason why one would not be able to replace his/her black back with a white one?
By the way, will white back cover fit to an initially black nexus? My mind tells me - it should, but asking just in case....
The backs are available on ebay, search

Is the one you have up that's not buy it now on a reserve? Or are you hoping for above market price?
