Orders Post Aug 15. Still defects? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I really want to get a Nexus 7, but just wondering if recent order (i.e. post Aug 15) are still having quality issues?
Do you know if they are fixing the problems yet?
Should I wait longer until I buy?
Thanks

No issues at all and I got mine two days ago with SSN C8OK! Just buy it man, its a great tablet!

Received my new N7 from the Play Store on Monday (8/20), ordered it last Thursday. Everything was flawless except the auto brightness didn't work. In low light it shuts off the screen. So when going through the setup I thought it was becoming unresponsive (wouldn't turn on screen when pressing the power button), when in reality the auto brightness was just shutting off the screen. This was also really frustrating when trying to read in bed. If I manually adjusted the brightness the lower end of the scale would just completely turn off the screen.
Called and reset the tablet per Google CS rep, still not working, so mine is on its way back to Google. Hopefully getting the replacement soon!
I've read about a couple other people having this issue. It's not the end of the world, and I guess there are apps that could help, but I wanted everything to work right out of the box. Especially with the battery saving qualities of the auto brightness.
For the day or two I had it I loved it. I would consider my N7 an abnormality at this point, everything else seemed perfect. When you take the plunge I strongly recommend the "Moko Slim-Fit Cover Case" on Amazon. It's not bulky at all, cheap, still protective and works awesome!

I ordered mine in Aug 1st and its perfect.

Is it safe to buy a nexus 7 yet ?

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).

You have that choice. But when I spend my money on something I expect it to be built w/o flaws. Hope the glass dont fall out on you when the screws get to lose! Oh you wont care tho it will still be irrelevant right?

Yeah, I hope she wasn't blowing smoke up my butt. That happens too. But I figure with the 16GB Nexus 7 suddenly returning to the Play store and the CS telling me this, it's hopefully correct.

Nexus 7 3G Defects - here!

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?

N7 backlight bleed, worth a replacement?

I'm on my second N7 32gb as the first suffered from some screen lift
Anyways the nexus I have currently has very very little screen lift however I'm fine with that. My main issue however is that the screen suffers from a small amount of light bleed on the bottom left corner. On full brightness you can easily spot it however on auto brightness and on the lowest setting it's pretty hard to spot but when your looking for it you can see it.
Bought from PC world on nov 1st in the UK and the 21st nov is the last day for replacement assuming the 21 days starts on the day of the purchase of the first tablet. I got a replacement around 5 days after I purchased the first one, would that mean I have an extra 5 days then to return?
I honestly don't know what to do as I would like to return it however I'm worried I will get a even worse N7 than I currently have
In the pics I have posted, its the bottom left thats causing the most problems,
Cheers!
Some more pics
The pictures are taken at full brightness
mate, are you nutz? take it back,......all respect meant
but yeah geez take it back and try a new one. i changed my 16gb for the 32gb a week later in carphone warehouse and seriously the difference was noticeable in build quality immediately even when i gave the new tab to a friend without telling him, he said the back cover felt better like i had a cover on it.
just take it back and try again what can u lose? :good:

That's bad, take it back. I have the same kind of post here from when I had one with backlight bleed, also asking if it was normal and should i take the risk of returning. I finally exchanged it and am so glad I did. The one I have now is perfect.

I have been reading many Forums about the Nexus 10 Issues and still ordered one and sent a Message to Google Play Support to make sure they check my device before sending it, and also send them the Xda Nexus 10 Forum Link...

These are the all the problems I read about here on Nexus 10 XDA Forums. I haven't received my Device and I Pray that I do not get any of these Problems and that any future Nexus 10 Buyers don't get it and that Early Buyers get it solved because this is Really a Headache in Purchasing Online that no one should have after paying $439 to $539, It makes people or is it just me? want to go buy New IPad with Retina Display. lol... I LOVE ANDROID and I LOVE GOOGLE btw..
Check multitouch, either via a free app (one that is specifically for developers is probably best) or the pointer location under developer settings. On my Nexus 10, anything past 2 finger input is unstable (appears, disappears, jumps across the screen, etc.).
Not 100% sure if it's worth returning the tablet or not still since... I'll probably never use more then 2 fingers at any point, but I'm pretty sure it's an isolated issue (I made a thread, but I think only 1 or 2 people confirmed it didn't happen to them).
Mine has a brightness issue. On the right side when in portrait mode (camera side) it shows a bit less brightness. Like a small shade. It's not that obvious on films or games, but it is a bit distracting when reading on white/bright backgrounds.
I've already sent a message to Google asking for a replacement.
Be sure to check WiFi connection and speeds as well. I have read a lot on the flakiness of some devices on 5 GHz bands. My device literally is 40x faster and no longer drops connection intermittently when set to 2.4 GHz only. I almost returned it, but decided that it isn't that big of a deal compared to some of the issues that others are experiencing.
Also, food for thought...I had to RMA my N7 when the screen deadzone issue came up. It didn't get really bad until after about 45 days, but I had no issues with customer support back in August. They happily exchanged it well after the 15 day window and asked if I wanted a refund or replacement, so I don't know if they changed that recently or what, but I guess YMMV.
I wouldn't go looking for problems, if it works fine then don't worry about things that MIGHT be wrong. If issues pop up, well, then get them addressed, but don't sit there all day going "Oh no, is it going to explode today?" No offense, but I think some spend more time looking for issues and worrying than actually enjoying their devices. As for mine, well, it's running along without issues, so I'm happy
My notification button is not working. Anyone with the same issues?

I am having trouble with NFC. Android beam and NFC are both on but don't seem to work. I'm putting my Nexus 10 to the back of my Galaxy Nexus. I've used another nexus as a test and no luck.
I EVEN REPLACED THE DEVICE through Google Play support and no luck. Any thoughts?

so how did the tablet do ..was it good?
I have none of these issues. I don't have another device with NFC and so I couldn't test that, but everything about my model says well made. The light bleed is no more than on my old ipad2. I thinks its good you provide this list. I think we should look for problems. We spend a lot of money and want what we pay for. Nipicking begets improvements!!!

I had to RMA my nexus 10 today after maybe 30 min of use.
Half my screen, split longways right down the middle, went black. Not completely black, but much darker so much so that certain images, icons, etc on that half werent visible -- there was also ghosted images left in that half when you change screens so that you could still lightly see what was previously there.
Obviously a display issue, but contacted play support, did a factory reset which obviously didnt help, and just RMA'd it after that. At least the return was easy and theyre sending out a new one.
I just got mine and everything is perfect. I couldn't ask for a better tablet. Except a few reboots on the stock ROM and one so far on aosp+ no problems here. Haven't tested NFC yet. I'll test when I get my nexus 7 back.

@snoopyods
Might be a stupid question but did you put your NFC sensor from your galaxy nexus on the Nexus 10's NFC sensor? (it's located near the camera)
Almost all of the issues reported have a very small number of viewings and responses which shows that the reported issues are not a problem for the vast majority of people.
you really think by emailing support to "check your device before shipping" they will actually do it? haha... i feel sorry for you.
Its not like a one man show over there. Support is probably nowhere even near the shipping warehouse.
Hi all
I've not managed to USB otg (does not detect a stick or power a usb mouse)or HDMI out (no feed to TV) working, I've ordered replacement cables (although the originals weren't cheap).
I'm concerned that it might be my N10 and not the cables.
Anyone's had issues like this.
EDIT: It was the cable, had USB stick, mouse and PS3 controller over OTG cable. And playing and watch stuff on TV via HDMI. Very cool!

Im in Colombia and have the problem loud low pitched sound with low light (discovered on the bathroom while ehem...reading haha) high pitched low sound with brightest screen level ...fortunately the tablet came with damaged corner apparently from a fall to the floor so im getting a compensation for the total price of the tablet from the ups subsidiary company..and get to keep it... since none of your tablet fell to the ground im now assuming fall is not the reason of screen screech ....RMA its out of the question... Will there be another solution toy this? Im watching vídeos of n10 dissasembly and its very easy...or should i just let it be since apart from the noise the tablet works flawlessly and im getting all of the money back??
PS sry for my english...
Mine suffers from:
- Bad WiFi
- light bleeding
- multitouch issue
- bad led notifications
I should play the lottery...
Camera issue
I have a problem with my camera. It worked out of the box for a day or so and didn't anymore after the update (maybe it's not even related). I reverted back to JOP40C, it didn't work. I tried CM10.1 it randomely worked for a few days, then didn't work again. Does anyone else have the same problem? I'm hardly using the camera but it just sucks not to be able to fully use my device. Thanks in advance for your help.

Have you tried "led color tester" from the app store? I had never seen my led before using this software. Turns on all colors, no problem... So it seems like it is more of a software issue.

Nexus 4 Display

Ok so today I wake my phone like I would any other day, but my screen starts to bug out. The display became all jittery and it was not uniform. Im not sure how to explain it, It was very distorted and started to flicker a little. I reset it 2 times and it began to improve. Right now, the issue is gone completely, but Im not sure if it will happen again. Also the phone became VERY hot after.
I'm running ParanoidAndroid Feb 03, stock kernel. I did use the Nexus 4 Display Control app to adjust the color a little bit, but not too much.
I've never dropped it and it never got wet or anything.
Any help?
How much did you adjust the colour by? There's a chance you adjusted it outside the 'safe' parameters.
I had the same problem. I returned the original phone they sent me. When I got the new replacement phone after just a few days it acted up the same problem. I returned it to Google and never purchase the Nexus 4 again. I'm glad the gave ma a full refund minus the shipping though. Right now I'm still searching for a good reasonably price phone :fingers-crossed:
Just return it and ask for full refund before your warranty runs out.
