Hya,
I'm new on here , so please be easy on me with my question :angel: . I recently purchased Google nexus 7 tablet from some local website who asks the customers to report any defect with in one day, only then they will ship new product :crying: , So I'll get one day for checking . Since Google hasn't launched Google nexus 7 tablet here (India) officially, so I'm getting the imported one, website support peoples even ain't aware of how to get warranty if product gets turned in to black box .
I saw some q/a here and I found many peoples having problem with product (related hardware ones) . I'd be thankful if you guys could list some basic things to check pertaining to hardware of product to make sure everything is fine
Hi, I'm on my 5th replacement and everyone had a different fault!
First you want to check round the edge of the screen to make sure the glass is flush with the case and not raised up so you can push it down with your finger, If anywhere the problem is normally down the left side. (DON'T TRY TO REPAIR IT YOURSELF WITH THE SCREW FIX TUTORIALS!) In most cases the fix is just temporary and the problem returns. This is a defect!
The next thing you want to do is check for dead pixels & white light bleed out around the edge of the screen. This app is perfect for the job.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ujacha.deadpixel
Next you want to check the speakers by cranking them up to 100% and play several video or audio files to check for crackling/distortion/popping.
It's well known that the speakers are very cheap but they should still be crystal clear with the volume at it's highest.
Now you want to check the touch screens response. There is an issue with the screen not responding after heavy processing/game play where the screen becomes unresponsive down one half of the screen and only locking/unlocking the screen solves the problem.
First I would advise hammering the N7 with a game that is Tegra 3 supported for example Dead Trigger or Shadow Gun to get it nice and hot if at any time the screen becomes unresponsive then you have the same issue.
To double check run this app, you should quite easily be able to detect all ten fingers on the screen at all times.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.the511plus.MultiTouchTester
The last thing I would check is the connectivity through Wi-Fi & Bluetooth, this is the least common fault as far as I know. Just check you have nice strong signals with no drop outs.
So after all that if you have managed to put a tick in all the boxes I reckon you have a sweet device!
I hope this helps you and any one else out there and that you have more luck than I had finally getting a perfect working N7.

Great question (although I don't know if it's a dupe). Thanks for all the info mr_tris. That sucks you're having so many issues. I haven't noticed anything wrong with mine since I got it yesterday, but I'll check all the things you mentioned when I have the tablet in front of me.

@mr_tris jeez!! 5 replacement means something and very horrible so to speak . I really appreciate help and advises you posted. I'll make sure to check them out .
The only problem I'll have if found any problem in device is that I'll have to wait another 20 days since the new product will be imported by website peoples for me to make replacement
One other thing to check: the gyro.
Does the screen rotate normally or do you have to turn the device so the screen is practically vertical (assuming you choose to unlock rotation via the notification panel).
If you are into gaming, try a driving game or something to make sure the cars don't veer left or right.
I had this trouble on my second one and have read of quite a few other people having the same problem.
The only real issue I've heard about is the screen raising above the bevel some. Yea this is a defect as the screws are too long and pushes the screen out. Returning it 50 times isn't going to fix it. Only by chance may you get one where the screw is slightly smaller (1mm). The solution is to make a little washer out of some plastic and put it under the screw. It doesn't need much to fix it. The cover pops off just like a regular battery cover and the screws are right there. If it is a problem for you, why NOT try to spend 2 min and just fix it yourself?
You wouldn't even notice unless someone pointed it out. You literally have to turn the N7 and look across the screen to even notice it. Hardly anything to freak out about.
Some people have blown their speakers already too. Most have been after a long session of movie watching or music. I suggest to not blow your speakers out (using at Max volume for extended periods) right out of the box. Let the speakers break in first. Honestly the speakers are so loud anyway that I normally have it at 50% volume Max. Probably not an issue either but its good usage practice.
I've also heard of one or two screens fritzing out with lines and fades. Probably nothing to concern yourself with.
I haven't heard of anything else but I guess it would always be best to check it out thoroughly.
I do recommend unlocking first thing because it wipes all data including storage and saves. I'm using EOS rom and its heavenly. Trinity kernel is also awesome because he tweaks the colors of the screen to pop more.

Well I just installed Puddle and Riptide and my gyroscope is offset by 11% to the right. I can calibrate it with the compass app but it goes back to normal when you reboot it!
RMA form is completed and Replacement No.6 is on its way! :-/

Most important things are:
Screen - check viewing angles and color reproduction in the dark. Best reference is to use a site like GSMARENA for high res photos and screen reviews.
Body - Look for cracks or scratches, especially around ports and the headphone jack.
Things to disregard:
Slow system - this is just something you will have to deal with in an android environment.
Warm after prolonged use - again, normal.

I just gave a Nexus 7 to my wife for her Birthday yesterday. I must be working fine since her was on it all day yesterday and for the last several hours this evening. If anything was wrong with it, she would of discovered it by now.
When it arrives turn it on, set it up and enjoy it. Don't make urself miserable looking for flaws. If you don't notice anything out of the box don't go looking for issues. Trust me....

I wish I could have that attitude about my electronic devices. It would be a shame for someone to find a defect after the 15 day return grace period just because their device might be OK and they never bothered checking it. You must have spare money to burn. :what:

No I don't have money to burn lol but I just don't think its worth the stress of over examining for defects. If you look hard enough you will see that something isn't 100% straight or a tiny spec of plastic is sticking out or whatever and then it will stand out like a sore thumb once you've noticed it lol. Give it a glance over and if it looks good to you then enjoy your tablet.

I have flawless c80 here, no raising lcd, no others failures here.. You gotta have some luck sometimes.
I hadn't even heard of this problem and didn't notice it until a couple hours after I had been playing with the device while I was searching in frustration how to get the drivers to root on Windows 8.
Good thing I never figured it out before I noticed the left side of the glass was sticking up just a tiny bit on my brand new Nexus 7. It's still stock If I want to return it. I can push down and hold the middle part of the left side of the screen for a few seconds and it seems to stay down for a few minutes but eventually keeps popping back up just slightly. I've searched and seen videos on youtube where some go to extreme measures of pulling the device apart and tightening screws or clamping it together for hours while leaving it playing HD movies until the battery dies and other methods way beyond those.
Do I I just try and put this flaw out of my mind and be grateful I didn't get a device like some other threads I've found (dead pixels, dead touch zones, brightness issues, etc.) or do I complain to Google ASAP and ask for a replacement while it's still new?
Will they send me out a new device first and then make me ship this unit back or vice versa?

I have the exact same problem, the left side is coming out a tiny bit. when using it i cant notice it, but when i look from the side i can notice it, but its only a tiny bit. im keeping mine, i have no problems whatsoever with mine (apart from that)
I notice it all the time now that I'm aware of it. After playing with the tablet all night, it's like a tick now to check if the left side is staying down or not.
I realize this is a budget device and form factor may not have been a priority but, after choosing the 16gb version, taxes and shipping, I spent over $280 on the Nexus 7. It's not a $199 tablet.
I want to try another one but maybe only if Google Play's return policy is on the same level as Amazon where they would 2nd day air you a duplicate product with a return label. So you would have a new device before you give up the old one and wait for who knows how long for it to be serviced and returned... not to mention if you are on the hook for return shipping costs.
Send it back and hope you get one from the new batch.

Ordering just a week ago I would have thought I got the latest batch. In my googling though it looks like there is a newer version than what UPS dropped off at my door on 2012-08-31.I believe the relevant info is the SSN on my box an it is C70*
If I had bought this at a brick and morder, I would take it back and exchange it today. Since I didn't and I'm at the mercy of Google and the 3rd party call centers they've hired to handle this kind of think, I'm not sure what I should do.

They email you the return label and RMA form to print out and let you order a free replacement (actually they place a $250 preauth charge on your card that should disappear after a few days)
You get 21 days to send back the defective unit, but the new one should arrive before then.

C80 has the same issue, took a C70 back yesterday pick up a new one today C80 & straight out of the box its there. I did read that by asking the back off and nipping up the screws on the LH side sorts the issue although I'm yet to try that fix.

Pop the back off, loosen the screws on the left side then hold the edge tight while you tighten the screws and it should take care of the separation.

I also ended up with a C8 with lift on the left side, new batch doesn't resolve the issue at all, still luck of the draw whether you will get one that has issues or not.

It isn't to fix screen lift, it's to fix the separation between the bezel and the edge of the screen.

Seperation/ screen lift, is the same thing. Look at the link I posted, you can see my bezel and edge of the screen separating. If it worked for you, thats awesome like I said it worked on one of mine for a little before seperating again. It isn't a permanent fix for everyone
I hate hearing that "this is a budget device so it's just something you have to deal with." We paid $200-250 for a tablet. Not $200-250 for a tablet with the left side of the screen popping up above the bezel. The lower price point doesn't disqualify us from from returning one unit to get one that isn't defective. You are well within your rights to do so if it bothers you.

I have the same problem. C80...
BUT:
I really don't think that thigthening those screws or adding the missing ones is a good choice here.
If you consider that Asus leaves those screws out of the device on purpose than there can only be one reason:
To me it looks like the display is to big for the frame it might just be 0.1mm or less.
Leaving the screws out will then avoid to add pressure on the display due to pushing it into the too small frame.
That could be the reason that not every device in a batch is bad. They just have a couple of bad positions at molding where they get too tiny frames, the others are OK.
...my 2 cents...
I will keep sending mine back until I get one without missing screws.
Edit: or the two outer screws are too close together. This would even make more sense.
I have exactly the same problem with my Nexus 7. It's an C80. Otherwise the tablet just works perfect.
Is it possible that the screen can break in the future because of that separation? Had someone recognized that the gap got bigger at the C80?
Thanks for your answers.
I'd say if you don't push it down/flex the glass you will be fine.
Yes it is and it is ot covered by the warranty if the screen cracks. Ask for replacement

Just got a new one ordered. Screen issue and the WiFi is messed up. Not sure if I messed it up but the wife's n7 gets way more signal. I got a c60 from Ireland.
I can add pictures of the double taped box if anyone wants but basically it looks like my Nexus 4 replacement box has been opened and re-taped again. The first Nexus 4 I had shipped had only one set of black tape to seal the box but my Nexus 4 replacement has had the tape taped over as if the box has been opened. Has anyone else received a box that has had the first set of tape taped over? I sent google an email and the person I talked to told me that the device is in fact brand new and they do not sell refurbished devices.
Also, the sim opening tool bag looks like it has been opened and re-taped as well except not with an extra piece of tape this time but with either the original tape that came with it or another piece, but the bag is damaged as if it has been opened already. Anyone know what is going on with this? I have a feeling they may have checked the device to make sure there was nothing wrong with it, like the problem that made me send it back in the first place but I would really like to know the reason for this.
Please, anyone, if you have had the same thing happen or know why this has happened, please let me know!
Thanks for your time and interest.
Just check for scratches / problems. If it seems/ feels and responds well then don't break your head over it. If you have even the slightest scratch though, then do something about it. Otherwise I don't know if it matters

Well how else would the Fed have been able to install the tracking/eavesdropping software that is now monitoring your every move.
Honestly , mine didn't even have a sticker - bought before yesterday. But alone the fact that it had that front and back sticker (which after removing good luck putting it back on perfectly). left me with some confidence. I was worried at first but after seeing the state the phone is in I thought who cares as long as it seems new and has no scuffs/scratches. I can't stop emphasizing on how much I love my first nexus phone (3rd - 4th android phone). Simply gorgeous.

I want to open my N10 up, but I really don't know how much force to be using to separate the back from the screen (seems like it would require an extreme amount of force).
I have a suction cup attached to the screen, and I have the screw off the back. From there, I assume I would start at a corner and just press it downward to try to get the back off? Should it require a lot of force? Does the back bend, or should it?
Do a search, got to be videos on you tube.

Only thing I can find is the PowerMedic teardown, which doesn't explain how much force should be needed still...
I'd rather hear from someone personally how hard it was to open their N10.

Hmm, I'll have to see if I have a separating tool, but that doesn't look like too much force was used at all.
Finally got it open. Was a huge pain to do with a credit card (basically destroyed it mostly), but I started with the top-middle edge, and worked my way around from there. Biggest pain was to get the bottom edge off, but I managed to get that off after a while.
So, I just noticed that my Pogo connection area, there's a pin broken. From left-to-right, it's the 5th pin. Why is this?

Do you mean on the inside of the N10 there is a pin broken? I looked at those powerbook medic photos which its hard to get an angle on that area, but it didnt look like any of the inside pin connections were missing, so are you saying it looks intentionally not connected/separated?

It's like a 3-piece system in the Pogo cable area. The N10 shell has the 5 pin area and has metal contact sheets on the inside for those pins. The N10 itself then has strips of metal I think above metal contact points. The strip of metal that should come in-contact on the N10 itself is cut-short on the 5th pin.
Probably not the best explanation though. I think I saw a post on the Pogo cable thread of someone mentioning this.

I know there was a post about the pogo charger that included pictures, and in the picture one of the pins was either missing or shaded. the discussion assumed it was missing and gave theorys on why. (all perfectly reasonable as I remember.) BUT I just got a pogo in the mail a couple days ago and, at least this vesion, has all its pins. im guessing there is a couple ways the pogo "port" could be utilized, so a variety of combinations would certainly make sense.
but as for that cut short you're talking about, does it look machine done? like if its a ribbon-like material does the notch made in it look perfectly made such that it was done by machine? or does it look jagged or snagged? if it looks machine made Im sure its intentional. if it looked jagged or snagged Id be concerned that is on accident.
EDIT: i ask/say "ribbon like material" but same basic thought process for me re: metal extensoin posts - does the "cut" look like it was done with some sort of grinding device that would leave the pins as "not sharp" or does it look cut like when you flex metal a bunch and it snaps or if you use wire cutters how it leaves a jagged edge.

Afternoon all,
So yeah I'm loving this phone greatly, but I've noticed something horrible for a phone so well made.
If anyway else owns one can you please check if your headset has a tiny gap ( Im really do mean tiny gap) between the front metal casing and
the cream looking plastic band around the phone. So were the headjack and on switch is . . . .
I noticed it last night and if I press the back and front together the gap closes.
After speaking to P4U they said no one else has rang in with such problem and they said they would exchange it wen more arrive in stock.
I ended up going in store were I discover they ave one there but is a pre ordered handset. The guy did open it up and checked both handsets.
They new one did also have a tiny gap but not as bad?
Bit shocked as I havent really used the phone alot as Im still using my S3 till I pay my contract off.
Anyone else got this?7
Cheers
Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
I have read somewhere 2 weeks ago it is a problem for some demo set. But seems it existing on retail phone now. Also I heard iphone5 has such problem but people think it acceptable.
So maybe other users can give their view.
And you would better to have a clear photo upload others can judge.

There was another thread on this exact issue. It is very small, but then again these phones aren't exacty cheap. So should be uniform all around.

Select Quick Reply and then Select Go Advanced. Over at the top, click on the attachment incon (looks like a paper clip) and browse to where ever the photo is saved
Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
I got mine today, have looked but not used the phone yet. On both the top and bottom, I can squeeze and a hairline gap will come together, but I don't think this is a problem really. It is negligible and it probably won't have any impact at all, the phone still seems premium and solid in the hand, and it is not like they advertise it as being waterproof or anything in which case this would be an issue.

I have a slight gap on the top, nowhere else though, and its very slight, I keep a case on it at all times though, so no big issue
Ive put two links to photos I took. Hopefully the links work. One is with gap and then me pushing the edges together . . .

If that was my phone I would send it back but that's just me.... hope mine is ok when I get home later on.
This gap may be engineered to provide for thermal expansion differences between glass and aluminum
Definitely looks like a defect to me. Lint, dust, water etc could all get in there very easily and cause problems down the line. I'd get it replaced.

My mates htc one had zero gap all the way around.
Yeah I maybe abit paranoid on this matter. After seeing the other newly opened htc one and seeing that also had a little gap then I though maybe
its just the way its made. I will see hopefully thursday if more come into stock.
Re: HTC One Owners check it out!
If I'm looking at the same thing is u on top of the phone theres a very very small gap between the metal casing and plastic filler.
Can't see I'm bothered about a gap of 0.25mm though. I don't think I'd ever want a replacement.

This photo is posted by others sometime ago.
But this kind of gap also on other phones, like S4.

I can definitely confirm such behavior in my One X, it expands a little from heat
but by design? i don't know, HTC promised zero gap didn't they?
Thread title is misleading: please change it.
