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.

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.

Hey all,
I bought the Nexus 7 from Best Buy on release day. The first one I got had banding issues (so I thought) but it turns out where I was seeing it in the settings is common and has to do with the background used from what I found out after I exchanged it. The one I got now has bad backlight bleed and the screen seems blurry. Not sure what's up with that.
My question is, will Best Buy care if I go exchange the device again? I'd rather not be stuck with an actual defective one. Thanks!

I'm about to return mine and wait until they get more in stock, the screen on my Nexus 7 32GB is sometimes not recognizing my touches , sometimes have to press really hard on the screen just for it to recognize, and even then it isn't 100% accurate.
Something is off with the touch sensitivity tuning. I remember reading that 4.3 brought increased sensitivity to the N4, maybe the N7 is starting out extra sensitive. I've noticed it most with the default keyboard. It sometimes double types a single character. What's happening is that it recognizes my finger before I actually hit the glass, and then again when I hit it. But this should be fixable with an update.
I wish android would allow touch sensitivity user customization, something like on Nokia's Lumia WP8 phones.

I exchanged mine today for this exact issue and the new one has the same problem. Wonder if this can be fixed with an update?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I'm unsure about the touchscreen issues. That typically results from bad connections or somewhere. Have you tried Yet Another multi touch App?
It has 2 functions, one tests inputs the other is like a paint. I recommend trying to color the entire screen. This will tell you if you have any dead spots.
If your touchscreen isn't working well I highly recommend you swap it out. What good is a tablet if the problem gets worse?

I'm having the exact same problem with the keyboard... while typing, i would get rapid taps and some letters would show up 3 or 4 times. just wondering if this is a hardware issue or software issue?
If its a software issue, i can wait it out... but if its hardware.. i'll go and exchange it for a new one.
Hi, I want to share my experience with a Nexus 7 2013 which bought to me a friend in USA (I'm from Spain).
It is made in China, June, and it has every touch problem described here: maps rotate, multi-touch with only 2 fingers, Swype keyboard problem (the draw was continuously cut off), the screen didn't recognize my finger, and sometimes ghost pulsations.
Well, I sent the tablet to the tech support and today is back.
The report says:
Problem: Touch Screen Function Error
Replaced part: LCD + Front + GPS module
Note the Gps module replaced which I didn't referred.
Now everything is ok and screen works without problems. And all of this with the J compilation.
Clearly, my experience indicates that the Nexus problem is a hardware problem, and Asus knows perfectly the problem.
Cheers.

What I don't understand is if that was the case there would be a lot of perfect ones out there. They should call for a recall if you have a certain date of the bad batches. This is how it should be done. If you bought it from Best Buy then best buy should be getting good batches for exchange. With reciepts still. I am over my 15 days now. 2nd of all I just don't believe that this is hardware. I had a perfect screen for 15 days then this update destroyed it. HMMMMMMM doesn't make sence. It is software issues thats going on.
I think what Asus is doing is recieving your Nexus 7 and istalling the proper drivers for the screen it has in it. The next update that comes out will destroy it again and again till you get tired of this crap.

I'm happy they fixed your touch screen issue, I'm thinking about having my n7 sent to be repaired too because ts10 helped a lot but it still doesn't feel 100% fixed.
Does your nexus feel solid and one piece like it did out of the box? I'm worried about having the screen feel like it could detach if they replace it.
I would like to see people start putting pictures of the paper work for this problem. Meaning the paper they send back with your tablet saying it is a defective screen or digitizer. Then we need to do something to get a replacement. Not sending it off. Exchanges at retail stores.
I have now the Q compilation with root and unlocked, and the touch screen is ok still. I don't see anything different to the original product (when I opened the box), but I think they exchange the screen and GPS, as they told me.

Could you maybe try this app to check if the touchscreen problem persists? if it's not too troublesome for you of course! :good:

Dude, read the description! It is NOT test app. It is showing (simulates) bad touch so you can compare it with your device.
Nothing more, nothing less.

I knew it. I found something out last night. Mine works perfect if its on a hard surface like a wooden table. If I put it on my couch or lay it on any cloth type material it has dead spots on typing. Mine is in a slimline Moko case. This is tested without holding it and unplugged. Touching the screen with one finger and hand only.Type real fast on each letter and they drop out touches.Like I said it works perfect now.

Shure it would help, but exchange for another better type of screen/toch combo :/
But i think cleaning an touching ang cleaning help.. mine is a lot better than it was on a first day (with a same ROM).
Cleaning a cache in my case Cruselite TPU with antistatic cleaner helped, too I think
Butt "some jittering remins" its hard to pickup icons to move "icons"... As nexus mean i move or tap the finger..

Take your Nexus 7 out of the case and lay it on a nice wooden hard surface and retest the screen. Mine works perfect on hard surfaces only.im thinking it could be the digitizer flexing or the wireless charging coils causing the problems.
The previous video was recorded before I sent the tablet. As it is shown it worked in a terrible way. Now is something subtle, because it only fails sometimes and mainly on hard surfaces.
It is strange, before to tech support it failed each second. Now, I can be swyping several minutes and it doesn't fail, and in other moment it fails 1 out of 10 words.
I will try to update to R compilation (I have the Q) and I will tell you.
As the title says im a potential buyer and i wanted to ask you guys what should i worry about ive read some stuff like overheating or yellow tint but what else should i know about this device because im in between the nexus 4, the xperia z which is said to have built quality issues and the note 2 with its sudden death issue, the prices arent much different with the nexus in my country at around 340euros and the other two a little bit more and the customer service is horrendous in y country so repairing it really difficult hence my hesitation, ive had the lumia 920 for a while know and prior to that the note 1 and havent had any issues with them.
If customer service in your country is horrible I would suggest the N4. So many people on here, G+ etc. know how to fix things.
It's really up to you though. With the N5 coming out soon you might want to hold off.
You should probably get the Nexus 4 so you can gets lots of updates and helps from forum members. But at the same time the Nexus 4 do not have the most durable design so I would buy a case for it unless you have some accident warranty.

Mine has never overheated and I've played some graphic heavy games in my time including Asphalt games and more recently FIFA 14. Yes it gets a little hot but so did my S2. That's pretty normal.

It's kind of slick and likes to slide down my table (well happened twice that it fell down). The table is waist-high and I was scared at first (worked even better then the alarm to wake me up )
But since I personally dislike these ugly cases I can tell you it's not that fragile. Fell down of that table twice and nothing happened. I was only worried because I've read everywhere that the glass likes to break but it never happened
You don't have to put it in monstrous cases that should protect it from an atomic explosion or something
The n4 with ringke fusion case. IMO.

I undervolt and my phone rarely goes higher than 120°f. The n4 is solid imo, the only thing that seems to be giving me an issue is the power button which seems like it will need to be replaced at some point. No worries though, touch control helps a bunch!

Hi,
you can wait for a little while the N5 is rolling out you can check it .
also i heard and saw good reviews on the MotoX.
my advice is just wait a little more .

Maybe im going to do just that.
If you're on a budget then hands down Nexus 4! If you have endless cash flow and patience then wait for something else. I personally love the N4 and picked mine up from a guy off of craigslist for $200 (16GB version) in excellent condition.

I also want to recommend xtreme guard screen protectors. You can get then for the back and front and are water based. (Don't worry, there's a video tutorial)
But also get a case as well.

I only have one on the back because the front one tends to peel off really easily due to the curves on the edge of the screen.
By having it on the back it prevents the phone from slipping and sliding. Before I got them I took my N4 to the toilet with me without the xtreme guards and it slipped off the bit where the flusher is. With them on it just stays in place.

Put a case on it to protect it, root it to customize the way you want., rock a customized kernel to keep it cool and have good battery life, there are ways to change the colors if you do not like and plus you will have the newest software always.... Oh yea and touch control lets you do a double tap to turn on device..
Nuff' said problem(s) solved :good: :laugh:

First of all, hello to everyone, glad to join and be a part of this great community. I just opened up my tablet today (32gb in black I ordered from abt.com) and the first thing I noticed was that the back of the tablet is not flat. The plastic has about 8 bumps (4 on top 4 on bottom), like something is sticking out from inside. They are not very large bumps but definitely visible, and looks bad especially for a $600 tablet. I just wanted to check if others have noticed this, just to verify if this is something common, or if maybe if it's just my device. I took a photo with my nexus 4 but the camera is not that great and didn't show the problem very well. I will try to get a photo with my brothers dslr and post it later today.
no problem here. And I did check mine tablet with microscope I am not kidding, I am super picky about build quality.
The only thing I don't like is very minor light bleed which was not present in original Note 10.1 2012 edition. But it's not that bad as Nexus 10, I went through 4 of those and finally give up on that model. Where is your tablet made?
Nothing like that here. That's something worth exchanging for.
Regards,
John Francis
Mine has a little play in the back left side like it can be pushed in and clank off the guts of the tablet. Will be exchanging it again....

Mine has the same issue but it is not bad enough to exchange. It is just something I noticed. Hope you get a better one. Loving this tablet so far.

Thanks for the words man!
If this was the only issue, I MIGHT think about keeping it, but it isn't, I listed the others in the build quality thread ... and my black plastic clunks/pops pretty loud, especially since I'm right handed so its always in my left hand. I would feel different if this had some age to it, but right out the box its got all sorts of clunks/pops/creaks ... what about 3 months or 6 months from now? or out of warranty? is this thing gonna **** the bed on me or fall apart? I'd rather start off on a solid foundation and any wear on this tablet is by me ya know?
Welp! Here's to the 3rd try hopefully being the last try to get the tablet I paid for lol
