...have a Nexus 7 that had no screen raise or separation out of the box and it's still that way after days/weeks?
I ask because we all know about the problem coming out of the box but now I'm also hearing about devices that were fine out of the box but are now raising and/or separating.
I also ask because I am on device number 7 and this one finally had no screen raise or separation out of the box and has stayed that way for two days so far. I'm just afraid it will come up eventually.
Thoughts?

I bought mine on July 26th, no problems at all.
I've had mine 2 days and then screen is completely in tact from what I can tell. Hopefully it stays that way

Had mine for almost a month now and haven't had any issues.
I bought 2, one on July 13 and the other on July 23. No issues.
Great to hear guys! I'm hoping this is the winner.
There are two differences with this one compared to the others that had to be returned. One is the serial number starts with C70K and it also only had one layer of black tape as opposed to two on my others.
May not mean anything but my screen is intact and no flicker.

Cheap or defective Lithium Ion battery over heats and expands, Causes screen to lift up
or it causes too much overheating where the display adhesive weakens.
I am lucky no color problems no screen lifting or separating
two with no lifting so far. One did have a dead pixel though.

On my second one, both have screen flicker and raised screen. Let's hope #3 is better!

Bought mine at GameStop. The first one I received had minimal screen raise and a really annoying yellowing on the right side of the screen. So I took it back and my replacement is absolutely perfect. I made sure to check for every issue out of the box. I've had it for a week now and no screen separation issue has occurred, so I'm hoping I'm ok.

Got mine through Google Play, one of the first 8GB ones shipped. No screen lift or flicker. Can't comment on the color temp since I don't have another one to compare it against.

Got mine July 14th and still haven't seen any separation.

Never owned a IPS screen or so.
Is it normal to have yellow tint on the edges when having a black background ? When I have a white background its pure white ( saw someone with yellow tint on white background) .

Nope. That is one of the problems that some users are facing. You should RMA your 7.
It would be pretty bogus if that was how ALL IPS screens were, lol.

True. After hours or researched. I came up with not much to go off by lol.
PC screens with IPS screens were saying that yellow tint were cause by a glue not being dry out evaporated yet and the more you use it they tend to just go away and get Better. I guess iPad 2 had similar problems. Most of them advice to use it more and they will go away so I might try that . I'd hate to be without this for a week to 2 weeks. But then again I got mine at Sams but their put and no way of knowing when they we will one.
Didn't happen doh until I got some heavy duty gaming last night. So might have gotten hot and was evaporating the left over glue? Lol correct me if I am wrong but that's what I gather so far..

I don't have it in mine and don't know much about it but my roommates IPS monitor NEVER had a yellow tint.
And Google will do an advanced RMA where they send you one and put a hold on your credit card until you send the other one back.

Has anyone experienced the screen washing out on one side? It started two days ago. The left side is fine, but the right side is only showing blues, yellows and grays.
I'm trying to post a photo of it but no luck.

My N7 16gb (ssn: C70K) has a similar issue with the screen being perfect on the left side (bright whites and colors) but slightly grey-ish on the right side.
You should return/exchange that unit if you can. Remember screen problems almost always worsen with time. If its annoying you now, six months from now it will be a nightmare.
I sent them an email and got their generic message back. Hopefully I get something with an RMA number tomorrow.
Just out of curiosity, did you try to charge your unit with anything other than the cable and charger it came with?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Yeah the right side of my screen is a lot warmer/ more orange looking.
It drives me nuts on white backgrounds since the left side looks white and brighter.
I'm beyond the Staples return period so I might call Asus, I don't know.

Nope. Only charged with stock charger connected directly to a wall outlet. Also, only charged the unit to 100% one time so far.

That's a relief. I was worried that my issues were due to using an different cable and charger.

Well as many of you posted you had flawless Nexus I pulled the trigger but for my horror I got a Lemon.
First I thought I had only the screen lift but after two weeks It have started to develop Screen Flicker and the slightest screen bleed in the right corner... a black pixel line when I open a hard task or its charging something.... the screen not responding and the ghosting :banghead: to my other horror I can't return it cause my father bought it to me and I'm in Mexico so no return but I wanted to know what are Software related and what are hardware related

So the Screen Separation is Hardware as the Screen Bleed
But the flicker, the sudden line that I just see like one a day and the ghosting that goes away with a reboot are all hardware?! The HTC titan had the ghosting too and with an update it went away

Well actually the screen flicker can be fixed by running a script. Look for the thread that says screen washout out fix. It will disable the nvidia smart dimmer. And the screen lift can be fixed' Google it . And not sure what the this "ghosting" is.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Xparent White Tapatalk 2
Well first I don't know if when going from homescreen to homescreen and seeing the icons going from side to side it looks like it leaves a trace behind that disappears after a couple of milliseconds and I don't know if its just an animation or ghosting.....and second is after being in my social homescreen the white parts stay onscreen in the background until I reboot but that only happened once and never again

IIRC you used the clamp and heat method to try and reactivate the glue. Best of luck, but that approach has been temporary for most users.
And you telling him to Google it would almost certainly lead to him fiddling with the screws, which is even less effective than the clamping.
Here is the only fix known to work. It's a delicate procedure and I wouldn't recommend it unless your lift is severe, GalaxyDev.
Sorry for your troubles, but hopefully you can see past these flaws and enjoy the tablet as is. I'm sure this device is a rare sight in Mexico.
The only reason why I considered that is because my screen lift is so minor, its like a hair lifted so my guess is the adhesive needs rebonding.

I returned mine yesterday, the only one I've had so far, because of some backlight bleed and screen lift, I was planning to replace it with a new N7 but it's really complicated to find one sometimes and the store was empty, so I got my money back. At the moment I mean to get another as soon as I find one with no defects, but with all I've read I must ask, is it that hard to find a N7 in good shape? I was loving this tablet so much, but right now I'm even thinking about getting an ipad mini instead because of it's problems...What do you guys think?
I have a CAO 32gb, bought at Tesco in Chelmsford 2 weeks ago. Extremely happy, with no problems, so it is possible.

Got my 3g on monday... Everything seems fine except for the slight delay with the power button when waking the device...
Got my 3G yesterday and it appears defect free! Quite pleased really as I was getting worried reading horror stories here. Maybe Google/Asus finally getting the QC right?
I'd say chances are fairly good - perhaps 70%?
You should be able to find a good one.
Well I'm getting one for Christmas. I know that my mom bought my 16gb from the local Staples. I'm hoping it is defect free.

Got a an issue free one on my first shot, C80 with no lift or hardware problems. Good ones are definitely out there.

Now that demand isn't so insane, I think more tablets will have fewer defects. The 3g n7 I got a couple weeks ago doesn't appear to have any issues. There might be a slight bit of backlight bleed from the left side, but it's hard to notice it without looking hard for it.

My c90 purchased almost a month ago is defect free. So they are out there!

All fine!
I bought my wife the original 16gb one soon after launch and I've had a 32gb one for just over a month, and not the slightest issue with either! I have to say I think the build is great on them, just waiting for Android to get even smoother as it can still lag from time to time even with "project butter".
No trouble here. I got a C60 16gb 4 months ago...no issues, and picked up a C90 32gb wifi version two weeks ago (the "old" one is present for daughter) ... no issues with it either.
I can't be THAT lucky if the issues are so rampant. Good luck.

I received my brand new N4 from Google on Wednesday, and pretty quickly I noticed that all across the left hand side of the screen it is lighter than the rest. In certain lighting and on grey backgrounds it's more noticeable. At first the discoloration looked more defined and I thought it was maybe the area the screen was glued down, but now it seems to be spreading. Is this a known issue? Is Google suppose to replace this kind of thing, or do I need to go to LG for my warranty?

Mine was doing that too a while after I replaced my screen. It turned out that my battery had swelled because I pierced the casing when I removed it. Replaced it and all is well. But if it's new? Have them exchange it.
I had the same issue my screen ways super discolorated but after 3 days it went away.
