Hey,
I just got this tablet brand new from Google. I turn it on and there is a red line going across the screen. I also did the software upgrade and that did not fix the issue.
Someone know whats wrong?
Yea, you got a bad screen. I would contact customer service to see about a return.

Just got my Nexus 7 tonight. Plugged it in, everything came on no problem. Set the WiFi and was told there was an update. When it came back on the screen was red with just faint outlines of stuff in the background. Same problem? I'm taking it back tomorrow. 16 gig Nexus 7. This is my first experience with Android. Not impressed.

It's not really a problem with 'Android' more of a problem of Asus's build quality / quality control. Don't get put off by this tablet, as most phones and other tablets have no issues.

In fact you may be right. But this is my first trip from the other side because I just didn't want to spend $500 and wanted to see what else was out there. N7 seemed like a great place to jump in. Now I drive back to the store for an exchange after one day? Not what I was expecting. Before I leave the store, I'm going to have them power it up, do any setup and update, and play around with it for a while to be sure. I really want this to work cause the size is perfect for my need.

Yeah, I would exchange it, then examine it closely before going home. I'd even make a note of the defects listed in this thread, which represent most of the issues people have encountered so far, and look for all of them. The only thing I've seen mentioned that isn't on that list is ghosting/image retention. There are some good apps in the Play Store for testing dead pixels and light bleeding, which would make finding those a lot quicker and easier to do in the store or parking lot.
Good luck!
I had one with screen raise ... otherwise great. I don't want the hassle of endless refund cycles.
So, for new (or recent) orders from the Play store which I am assuming is the fastest clearing channel... do they still have the screen lift problem.
i.e. has the hardware been rev'd yet ? Anyone with a recent delivery know....
I just got my replacement today. I don't want to speak too soon but it's been out of the box for about 2 hrs and hey it looks fine right now. I'm gonna charge it and use it a little and see if anything pops up so to say and I'll update later tonight.
Edit: I wish there was a way to tell the hardware revision if there is one at all. I might crack these both open before I send my other one back and see if I can spot any differences.
I don't consider the screen lift an issue so I would have to say you have been good since day one. Other than that I haven't heard anything on "New batches" being released.

Not sure how its NOT and issue. Considering if the screen lifts to much the tablet wont work correctly. That being said I have got my replacement and I have a feeling its going to do the same thing. If you look down the sides of the tablet you will notice where the glass doesnt connect to the case. Thats where the screen is going to lift and the way this one looks its going to be just a matter of time before the screen lifts.

I have had the screen lift since day one and have no issues since. Don't understand how a slim screen lift is going to bork the device.
Got my second unit Wednesday. It has screen lift as well.
I would definitely advise against buying retail, but I think Google can be trusted. I'm just going to hold onto this defective one for a month or two. Then I'll ask for a replacement.
No regrets, although I was pretty miffed about opening a new one with the same flaw when it happened.

Guys... we are getting off topic. The question is not whether the screen lift is an issue to some (and not others).. but when will the hardware be rev'd so that the screen is flat.
a) Never (not considered an issue).
b) Soon - but still not yet shipping.
c) New ones are now coming in with flush screens.
Not gonna make this a poll.
Just want to know if those who have taken recent delivery have got flush screens....

i got a cherry 87 buick I would like to sell you
Maybe your right, my touchscreen stopped working after use and the screen lift. I guess I should have kept it
I bought mine retail from Office Depot on 7/17 and haven't had a single problem with it.
In the UK I'm waiting until they physically have them in the stores. Right now it tends to be buy online and pick up in store a couple of days later. I got one last Friday from Tesco Direct and it had the screen-lift (this IS a fault) so took it straight back. I'd rather be taking back and getting a replacement straight away rather than waiting 2-3 days...or 10 days and counting with the crappy service offered by Google

Careful with buying in store. It may not be considered a fault (for the reasons expressed elsewhere in this thread) and if you do not have UK DSR law then you may not be able (allowed) to make a return. I wouldn't fancy my chances in CPW or Currys of doing a return if the device is functioning (but just not quite flush).
Most UK retailers allow you to return for simply not liking the product. In Tesco the guy told me it didn't matter if it was faulty as it was within their X days return. They'll be selling them in store in a couple of weeks apparently.
tribestos, fail to see how OCD relates to finding a fault on a piece of hardware. It's not like people are obsessively looking for faults. The screen isn't supposed to lift but it does. That's a design flaw.
So somebody must be taking the hit for all the returns... is it the retailer or do they just return the units back to the manufacturer and not pay for the duff ones ?

The replacement 7s poll has gotten sunnier, although people are voting prematurely. Also, it's not public, but I don't think many would tamper with it.
Although I have not seen a unit without this defect, there are at least a few posters there who should know exactly what to look for and haven't found any separation in their replacement whatsoever. That's a good sign, and that poll was pretty ugly last Wednesday, so the vast majority of respondents since then have been ticking perfect.
As for when this flaw will be officially dealt with, probably never. But don't hold that against Google. They can make right by rooting out the manufacturing flaw and dealing with unsatisfied customers on an individual basis. No need for any headlines.
Got my first Nexus 7 on the 17th. I was somewhat unhappy with how washed out the colors were. Also when I play a video the screen gets even more washed out for a short period of time. Generally just looks unsatisfactory. Also I have a row of pixels that sometimes flickers.
On the 24th I got my replacement Nexus 7. It was also washed out looking, had the same video playback issue. And the glass was raise on the left side if I held it there the screen would distort slightly.
I called Google today to get a feel on if I should try a second replacement or get a refund. The lady at Google said that Google has the new batch in now and says it has fixed the issues the first batch had with raised glass, pixel issues, and color quality.
So I'm doing a second RMA now. She's even letting me RMA the second device while I still have my first device (was worried I'd need to send that back before starting the second RMA).

Hello people!
As we all know the nexus 7 32gb 3G has shipped!, This is for everyone who has the Nexus 7 -3G- version only!
Do you have an issue with anything of your nexus 7 components (screen issues - build issues - speaker, etc ...) that are found on the previous builds of the nexus 7 non 3G ?
Did you guys find something that you like or you feel is better than the one with the previous build or non 3G (if you own a non 3G nexus)
like say, Faster, snppier, better graphics, performance etc ..
Sorry for my not so bad English
Just had 2 3Gs arrive to replace my old 16Gb wifis
Both perfect in every way, (Saying that so were my wifis)
Only comment is (Are google trying to get apple to sue them over the sim removal tool!!!)

Oh the reason Google are stating that Cases for the wifi nexus 7 are not compatible with the 3G version is that the Mic has moved due to the microsim slot so the flap on the cases covers trhe mic on the 3G version.

This seems a little pessimistic to me. Why assume they are going to have tons of defects? Won't google/asus have learned from the mistakes they made with the early wifis?
I didn't mean to be pessimistic at all .. just scared of that feeling when you wait so badly for that shiny device that you ever wanted but only to figure out that you have to sooooo lucky to get a (well-made) one without any defect !! I hate QC.
i see the need for this very much,
i just got the 32gb wifi only and maaaann.... the feel to the tab is just...different like the back panel feels...better i cant really explain it the unit feels heavier too.
Got mine this-morning. No defects at all. Why would you expect any? The Wifi version has been out for ages so any major defects would have been caught long ago by the early adopters.
The only "defect" per-se is deciding what the best deal on a SIM card is... 3 is probably the best network... but what one to order? All rather confusing for a poor old mouse brain.

I got mine last night. It has some backlight bleeding and also has these funky faded streaks (hard to explain) on a black screen these streaks give the blacks a washed out appearance. I compared it to my 16GB N7 which I got in Aug and I didn't notice these streaks but do have backlight bleeding on that one. I'm actually getting it replaced for these streaks but I've come to expect and even accept(as long as it's not horrible) backlight bleeding on Asus tablets. Having owned the TF101 (3 of them) the TF201(3 of them) and the infinity I have not came across a single one that didn't have some backlight bleeding to an extent or another. Some having it much worse while others maybe having just a small spot in the corner. But I honestly have not seen a single one (mine or a friend's) that didn't have backlight bleeding to some extent.
Mine has some very slight backlight bleeding, but nothing I'd complain about. Unfortunately, it does have the blown speaker issue...so an RMA replacement is on its way.
I bought a 2nd Nexus 7 3G version and all the issue of my 16gb WiFi are gone... The main problem the light flickering which is gone totally, also the screen is now flat with the bezel finally.
Sent from my Nexus 7 3G
Mine is fine overall. There seems to be some slight backlight bleeding on the left side of the screen, but not major enough to RMA.
Speaker sounds fine too as far as I can tell. The only "issue" I think I can report is that when my tablet has been sleeping for a long time, the mobile data will cut itself back on if it's off. At least the mobile data works though. Anyone else experience this?

I forgot to mention that I have noticed my screen flickering a bit when in 'auto', and depending on the ambient light. It's almost like the screen can't decide where to set itself and is bouncing between 'levels'. The problem seems to go away completely when I just turn off the auto lighting and keep it at minumum (which is how I usually use it). Is this the screen flickering problem everyone keeps talking about?

Just got my replacement an hour ago. Body creaks less, bezel appears slightly more even (although the old one was really even to begin with), and speaker sounds MUCH better. Only slight buzzing from the 'notification' volume bar, default tone, at max. Everything else sounds clear. I'll have to watch the screen to see about flicker. I have noticed it switching levels, but haven't noticed it flicker yet. It also appears to have less light bleeding. So far so good...
Ok guys - I need an opinion. I've had some time to play with my replacement N7, and noticed some odd things. I ran the battery down last night just to make sure it wasn't a dud - got about 10hrs of video (minimum brightness, sound down). It's not as good as my first one, but I don't consider it a dud. However, after it died, I plugged it in. A half hour later, I tried to power it on to collect the batter logs (simple battery logger), and it wouldn't power on. I pressed the power button for 5 sec each time, nothing. No white battery charging logo either...just unresponsive. I kept trying and it finally booted. I think I had to hold the button for 10-15 sec - and the battery was charging and at 10%. Never happened like that with my old one - just a consistent 4 second press to power on. Does this thing need 10% before it will power on? Reading the forums, the power on issue seems to be common. Should I be worried about this? Should I just keep my original unit even though the speakers are bad? I really don't want to end up in the endless replacement loop. Do others here have occasional power up glitches?
I know I'm paranoid, but since many ppl complain about the light bleed I started to think it is a common issue. However, I paid almost 450 for it so I have to be happy with it. My unit also has light bleed and I already requested a replacement. The customer service is great with no question asked. But how many times can we request a replacement? Once in the nexus 7 sub forum, a guy said he did it 6 times. I don't want to return it to get money back, I just want to be happy with it.
Sent from my beloved home phone.
I think I recall someone being cut off either around 10, or they just gave up (with the Nexus 7 anyway), I'm not entirely sure though. In any case, I would probably either suggest waiting as long as you can before requesting a replacement (unless the issue is severe-enough to hinder daily use) and waiting to see if any hardware changes are made/newer models available.
Although I don't really know what's Google's return policy. I think the Nexus 7 from Play Store had either 15 or 30 days to be RMA'd via Google, and then afterwards, you had to deal with ASUS directly (other retailers having similar policies). Not sure what the case is for the Nexus 10 and Samsung though.
As many as you want till your satisfied. Eventually you'll give up and either accept one with light bleed or get a refund.

in their policy they stated that they may give you a new one or a refurbished one as the replacement. So if you exchange it later, they might send you a refurbished. a refurbished one with fixed issue and a new one with issue.. not sure which one I want lol.

And you are saying that based on experience with multiple nexus 10 devices? Yeah....
Based on my experiences with the N7... infinite! Seems like I returned that many. They were supposed to be all new, but I swear they were just giving me returns because every one of them had bad screen lift or dead pixels. Now that was with Asus as the manufacturer, so Samsung may be different. I have a touch of bleed in the common area of the lower right corner, but otherwise it's an flawless device as far as I can tell. With a widespread minor issue like that though... you may get worn out trying to get a perfect one. You will probably end up with a device with no bleed and a big fat yellow spot, or dead pixels, or reboots. This has happened to me in the past. I returned a few Nexus S and the "perfect" device I got ended up having a pretty screen but a really low thermal threshold... it wouldn't take much to get the thing to reboot. Most custom kernels were unusable. The Nexus 7 was an awesome device, but I could not get one without light bleed, or screen lift (biggest problem), or dead pixels (like 8 dead pixels!). This Nexus 10 has amazing build quality compared to those devices. I'm blown away, and unless I go to the boot screen with full brightness, I absolutely don't see the bleed so I'm just going to hold fast.
After two you should seek a refund instead of wasting everyone's time.
So, I just have to vent. My Nexus 7 is now in the process of its 2nd RMA. I bought a reconditioned tablet off E-bay for during one of those $129 sales. Less than 18 hours after receiving my tablet, I was in the middle of a game and it rebooted, only to then stick at the Google Screen. Nothing would work to fix it, Wug's, or even ADBing the image files. So, off to Asus it went. They apparently replaced the entire motherboard and sent it back, with a note that the issue was a LED (Error) Indicator, whatever that means. My tablet then functions properly for about 80 more days, and then suddenly, when I go to reboot it, it turns off, but will not turn on, no matter what. The battery charge indicator does not function, no LED, nothing, and it was as if the battery was suddenly disconnected internally (it has not suffered any drops, jolts, etc.) and lives in a protective case. If I hook it up to the computer, I get a weird driver I have never seen before (not APX but something else, which I cannot recall at the moment), I would have taken it apart and done a battery disconnect if I was not still within my RMA period. Is such an excessive number of issues a problem for this device? I have never had this many issues with any other android device I have ever had. I cannot complain about Asus's RMA process but it is ridiculous that a remanufactured device would fail less than 24 hours out of the box, and then need to be RMA'ed yet again less than 3 months afterwards.
I love it when it works, but have others had devices that have had so many issues? I am not sure if it was the remanufacturing process and poor quality assurance with it or what, but seems there are a lot of similar hardware issues from those remanufactured lots on here.

I've had my nexus 7 since launch and no problems here. Never had it in a case or anything. You did buy a used tab... I Will say that my tab would do random reboots so I finally rooted and unlocked my tab last week and put on a custom ROM. My tab is flying ATM. Maybe throw on a custom ROM on??

I bought mine second hand, running android L developer preview and runs like a beast and the battery is outstanding ! Shame to hear you are having issues though
I have also had mine since launch, and I think OP simply got a lemon.
I have the random reboot issue that most people seem to have, but a part from that, none I've heard about have anything even close to the kind of trouble OP had.
The most common weakness I hear about from my friends owning the N 7 is battery drain, and that's not a hardware problem.

Thanks all. Got my tablet back from RMA, and works like a charm. They had to replace the board and some heat shields it appears from the packing slip from the RMA. Fingers crossed, as the tablet absolutely rocks when it works. Battery is outstanding compared to my 2012's. Hopefully the 2nd time was the charm.

I bought mine online, off eBay. I never had to provide a receipt for mine, though I was asked when I purchased it and where. As a remanufactured device, it came with a 90 day warranty, so you may just have to tell them the purchase date and location.
If it helps, you can start here: http://www.service.asus.com/#!b2c2/c24v6 to raise a case number and RMA.

If you enter the correct serial number for your device it should auto populate those fields, but if not, it is under Eee Pad as the Product Type, and the model is Nexus 7 (2013) of course.
If anyone else runs into the reboot and freezing on the Google logo error (even after forced restarts), you need to pop the back off and disconnect the battery for a few seconds. Easy enough to do, but it's a pain in the ass and shouldn't need to be done in the first place, but if you want to avoid an RMA and shipping and such, this will fix it.
Also, Lolipop preview completely fixed my random reboots. Not a one. Before that, when I 4.4'd, Franco's kernels also completely fixed random reboots.
Glad to hear your issue is fixed! It's a great tablet! Enjoy!
Thanks for mentioning the battery disconnect fix pbassjunk!! Fixed my problem, and good thing because I'm way out of warranty.
