Hi everyone, my wife just bought me a nexus 7 for my birthday last week and I absolutely love it. I used to have a playbook but the lack of apps made me sell it and I have been without a tablet for awhile. After getting the unit, I found this website and in turn found out about the screen lift issues with the N7. To be honest I didnt even realize that I had any issue with mine until I found this website.
So my question is will this problem get worse or cause any other issues if I don't try to fix it since I dont want to take the unit apart (Funny coming from an engineer). Or should I return it in hopes that my next N7 will be better.
Thanks.
My previous nexus 7 had screen lift issues. I kept it for a while and it only got worse. I'd suggest returning it for a new one. My replacement device from Google play is flawless.

Hi guys, i had my nexus 7 for about a2 weeks and i love it.
But a i have a doubt and i would be very help me if you could advise me...
FIrst of all i am portuguese, so if i dont express myself correctly don't be afraid to as what the hell am i saying... XD
So here's the thing... Tomorrow is the last day for me to return or trade my nexus 7 on the store i bought it (15 day trial).
I am about to keep it but the is only one thing that is bugging me... On the right side i portrait mode the bezel is a little higher than the screen, but on the right side the scrren and the bezel are equal. The screen does not make noises, it does not goes down when i press it and all seems fine. Sould i worry about the left side of the screen being the same with the bezel? Is it possible for me to get the feared screen lift issue?
Also is it my nexus 7 from a good batch? My SN says CAOKBC172**** ... This serial number indicates something good or bad? I am asking this because i saw people on the forum claiming that the ones above the c70 batch were the good ones...
Please help me so i can make sure if i can stick with my nexus or since tomorrow is my last day to trade it should i exchange it.
Thank u all.....
Hi. There is no such thing as good S/N. At least no with N7. You tablet looks fine. I got a CBOK that looks perfect, but i will not search for micro faults. So my advice is enjoy your N7.

Returned my fourth Nexus 7 today.
First one had: multitouch issue, dust under the screen, bad buttons. July batch.
Second one had: very bad multitouch issue. Buttons were good. August batch.
Third one had: multitouch issue (fixed by TS10 file), a lot of dust under the screen. Buttons were good. August batch.
Fourth had: multitouch issue, dust under the screen, bad buttons. Didnt even try the TS files because I knew I was gonna return it. July batch.
My conclusions: all Nexus 7 have multitouch issue, but mostly minor and fixable by the TS files. Even if you think your Nexus 7 is perfect it's not. You just dont know how to look for the problem or dont think you have it because it's so minor it seems normal.
More conclusions: Asus quality sucks. There's dust under the screen in most of the Nexus 7s. Probably because they are so cheap that they dont bother in making them right.
Last conclusion: all July devices have the hardware buttons stuck or badly placed. The ones in August are perfect.
Does someone know a way to take the dust under the screen? Even if I have to open it.
Now Im waiting for the 32GB versions to arrive in my city. There are no more currently. Waiting for my fifth one. I love this tablet. It's perfect for me. I just want one WITHOUT dust under the screen!!!!
i would have stopped after the second. got mine launch days, and have not experienced any of those issues. So NO, not all nexus 7 have these issues. Why even order a 5th one, if you dont like the quality? Get something else. I'm sure you will find a reason to return the next one.
Where are you ordering them from? Got mine off of amazon and its fine. No problems

I have the touch issues, but my 32G, made in July, has no hardware button problems at all. :beer:
Wow this thread is starting to resemble the whining that went on in the asus transformer tablet threads. I owned a 1st gen Nexus 7, then I bought the second gen Nexus 7 the week it came out. Never had any issues at all. Especially not any multitouch issues...I have no idea what anyone is talking about with the mulitouch thing. Since the Aug when I got the second gen nexus 7 I have had a chance to use and modify two more. Both of these (one for my mom and one for my dad) had no trouble whatsoever. The only issue was the 2nd gen nexus 7 I got when they first came out wouldn't charge wirelessly, but since I noticed it like right away I returned it to the store I got it from and got it replaced with a new one. I'm starting to think people are just way too damn sensitive.

Maybe the moderators can be a little more strict about closing down useless threads like these where the person just wants to complain and isn't really seeking information.
Not whining at all. Just explaining my situation.
Im gonna keep buying it until I get a good one. For me there's no alternative. No other android tablet is as good as an option. No full hd screen, stock android with updates, great performance, no skin that bugs down the OS, etc.
It's this or nothing. So no, I'm not whining, because this tablet is great. It's just the quality control that's bad, and that's Asus fault.
If someone knows if sending it to Asus makes it come back with more dust under the screen please tell me.
Dude idk where your getting your tablet from. But I got mine at Walmart close to launch day. And I seem to think its flawless. I got the 32gb and I love it. Other than a small gripe I have about the hardware button placement, I think its an amazing little tablet for the price. And I Dont have the dust issue your experiencing.
As far as a multi touch issue... I don't think I have it. If its really minor then I might have not noticed it. How can I check for it?
Hope you finally get a good one sometime soon!

Dunno, I was lucky. First time, all good.
Mind can't even be fixed by ts after 4.4. Gonna send it for repair again to see if I can get one ts works.

No issues here either. I have owned a 16 gb, returned it for a deal to get a 32 GB for 10 dollars cheaper. Both were/are great. Walmart for the 16gb and Staples for the 32.

It is like meeting your wife or husband. Often can't just take the first one. Got to check lots of them out before you find the right one. Some people do experience love at first sight though.
No problem with my tablet. 16GB version, got it the day it released. Bought from Staples.
Mine is 100% perfect. I asked the seller to check it before sending.

Same here day 1 from staples 16gb. No build issues expect the speakers crackle on some tones at high volume but its a small issue.
I have dead pixel issue. I tested 4 devices at the shop but still need to live with it. I might replace one again before 10 days free replacement policy.
ASUS quility sucks. If the next Nexus 7 is made by them again, I am not buying it.

I hear ya. I know it's impossible to know the real percentage of "bad" units without working at Asus, but it certainly feels high when I keep getting bad units one after another. I've given up and I'm just going to wait for a non-Asus nexus tablet.
Mine is soo good man, it really had no problems and never EVER experienced any touch issues.
i have only 1 nano dead pixel (it's so small and it's so at the bottom that you could'nt find it if you were looking trying to find it for atleast 10 minutes in a black screen)
ya im crazy, it took me like 20 mins to realise there was a stuck pixel. (i know i have a lot of free time)
No probs with mine neither bought it a couple of weeks ago, it was a launch 32Gb version aswell even had wacked firmware on it that wouldn't update, until i manually flashed it that is, now it perfect no dead pixels, no touch issues, no light bleed everything spot on with it.
Got mine at Walmart months ago, been all good since day one. :thumbup:

Me and many friends got the 32GB LTE 4G version and all are perfect (touch wood). It seems the LTE 4G version has higher QC standard or something because most complaints are for the WiFi only version.
However I will sell mine and get an iPad Mini Retina 32GB 4G LTE next January because Android is not for me, Apple hardware quality is better and 4G LTE coverage is way better as it will work in my country when 4G LTE is available as the Nexus 7 is a US model and it is not compatible.
Any one can tell me what may be the cause and how can i fix it , the screen is working properly but this yellow colour is just annoying and i think it increases with usage
Maybe its burn in? How long do you have this tablet?

Nexus 10 yellow blotches on screen
I'm having the exact same problem on a year old nexus 10, that is a central pale yellow brown stain most visible on a white background.
It looks like a nicotine stain as if some heavy smoker had been handling the screen. Initially I thought the screen protector had yellowed so I removed it but no improvement at all.
Have others seen this problem? Any solution?
Not a solution but the problem is down to the individual colour LEDs
Additive colour: red + green = yellow. Yellow + blue = white
Going to bump this thread, I just recently purchased a used Nexus 10 from someone and have this same issue, short of sending this to get repaired (out of warranty) is there any known fixes?
I have looked all over and have not found anything, the only viable thing I found which was Display Control by franciscofranco does not work on the Nexus 10.
Any information would be appreciated.
Screen Yellowing
I've got the same issue of the screen turning a kind of dirty yellow on about 75% of the screen. I bought it on first day of sale release. I think the it's been yellowing for about 2 months or so. Also have gotten a significantly shorter battery life in the last couple of months or so. Thinking of putting in a new battery. Great unit. Getting kind of kludgy though. I have to keep killing apps that start up and run on their own.
Screen burn or whatever
Same happened to my original Nexus 10 after about 6 months. Now the replacement is doing the same, again after about 6 months!
I am wondering, how this could happend. My Nexus is over an year old and I couldn't find a yellow touch on the screan. What is the normal using scenario od your Tablet ?
I have the same problem with my Nexus 10 21 months old. Any solution?
Ive had mine for close to two years now, same issue. I even sent mine to samsung during the warranty period, but they are full on retard. They “updated“ the software then sent it back. They wasted just about 2 months of my time to do that.
I try my hardest to just ignore it nowadays.
Same boat for me.. Yellow tinge right where I see it..
Fine with videos and black background... Not been left on as always had it screen off after a minute of no use...
Just been usual usage over the last two years..I must admit..lots of usage each and everyday but what pisses me off is my TF101 screen which is two years older almost and still OK...
Seems there is no screens around as well as been hunting high and low on the net..
If you have this problem head to the google groups page and post so that others know..
