It happens. Some are worse than others. If it bothers you then return it.

I imagine it might have to do with bad glue between the back and the battery (or something on the N10 anyway). If this is the case, then you can fix it by dismantling it, putting something sticky on the back, and profit, in-theory anyway.

I received my Nexus 10 in the mail today (I thought I would never get off of work!) and when I opened the shipping package I noticed the actual Nexus box with the stickers on it saying "If this seal is broken, do not accept", the seals were in fact, broken. A bit disappointed, I figured since they were already tore I might as well look inside. Everything inside looks completely perfect and doesn't seem to be tampered with at all. As you see in my signature, it hasn't stopped me from using it (and loving it!) but I was just curious to know if anyone else had this happen. The tears aren't clean, and actually look like they could have occurred during shipping (that's what I'm telling myself anyways), but I've kept all the static wrapping on the device for the time being in case an issue comes up I can report the broken seal on arrival...hopefully their support doesn't read this thread. Haha.

Last sentence is the best thing I have ever read on XDA. lol. If I were you id contact where you bought it from and say it arrived with broken seals. You may be compensated with some extra gift cards or something.

Lol. Well I bought it directly from Google and what I've heard about their customer service that is unlikely. I'll give it a shot though. Thanks.

I have ever had the same thing. But I just ignored it because the device can be used normally.But I think we can contact the support center to give them our feedback and let they improve it.However, just annoying.

It sucks that it happened to you too, but I'm glad I'm not the only one. I'll let support know and they'll probably ignore it, but we'll see. I don't plan on returning it unless I have issues, and I'm not seeing any yet.

They will suggest you get a replacement. If you're happy with what you have then I suggest you keep it. You might get a replacement with a creaky back or more light bleed.

I got two from walmart, both with something similar. One sticker on both looked like it was perforated, almost torn, while the other sides sticker was fine. Both from different Walmarts.
First one had dust under the screen so I returned it and got the other. It was fine otherwise. No issues so far with the second.

Thanks for all of the feedback. It makes me feel better about my stickers being torn. My device is working well for the time being so I'm not going to concern myself with the error in packaging.

I expect you're right about the cause: bad packaging/packing. Bought mine on release day direct from Google and it came with broken seals. No problems so far...

I bought a new Nexus 7, returned it today due to screen problems, and ordered a new one from Best Buy that I should get tomorrow or Thursday.
I was wondering what you guys have done with your old Nexus 7 or any recommendations on what I should do with mine. Mine is 32GB and still perfectly functional. I was thinking about using it as a media server but I'm not sure how useful that would be. I'd rather not have it just sit here and collect dust.
Thanks ahead of time.
Sell it.

Give it to a tech junky. I know at least one who loves all toys *raises hand* seriously don't you have any nieces or nephews or just a little cute neighbor? If we all try we can make someone less fortunate smile with our unused toys.

Why not using it with the daydream? An expensive alarm clock with weather notifications, along with some other stuff and as such it can also collect dust!

You could use it as a permanent car mount, or a clock, or a computer remote ( unified remote works great), or just sell it.

just a couple examples, we have threads for every single nexus device.
But we dont actually own every one, so the rest depend on random people to post.

Just give it to somebody you know who would use it if you don't need the money. I gave mine to my mom since she babysits my kids all the time for free.
Will give mine to my parents as well...
I say you mount it in your car for GPS/music. I don't give anything away to anyone for free ever. Except family

Try to impress a date and bring it with you on a boat, only to fall into the water (happened to me.)
But seriously,
1. Ebay if you want to sell it fast, tho you probably won't get as much as you want for it, plus ebay and paypal fees sting.
2. Craigslist if you want to risk getting robbed.
3. Give to niece/nephew if you have them as a christmas present.
4. Keep it and wait 20 years until it becomes a collectors item, then sell it for bookoo bucks!!
5. Learn to develop games/apps with it.
6. Use it as a coaster.
Is developing something you couldn't do with the new one?

I only suggest using the old one to dev on just in case something goes completely wrong and it gets ruined. I don't know much about android development, so I don't know if its even possible to brick the N7, but just as a cautionary measure, I would rather use an older device than a brand new one JUST IN CASE.
In the same boat as you, have no clue about development, was just curious. But now that I too have an old nexus lying around maybe I'll look into it!

Oh, it's possible. Believe you me, you can do it. It's just a bit harder to kill a Nexus device in most situations.
I can confirm it makes a great coaster. I'm starting to lose interest in flashing new ROMs every few months, but I may repurpose my Nexus 7 into a HUD unit of sorts to mount over my desk.
My nexus 7 has the erratic touch issue and I'm tired of returning and buying new ones. The one I'm currently using didn't have the issue until the return period ended, how awesome is that? So, I have heard before you actually get the ota update the tablet works fine. It is somewhat hard to type this. I just wanted to know if I can downgrade in any way, I'm literally desperate right now for a solution since Google is being a jackass about it.
You may not able to get your money back but you could exchange device as its still under manufacturing warranty.

Through Google or ASUS?
If you bought it from Google, then Google.
Anywhere else: ASUS.
Got my new LG G2 on Thursday - enjoying things so far, no complaints... Except I looked under status, and my phone says "Rooting status: Rooted"... Anyone else experience that?
I haven't tried to do anything to it (yet), aside from accepting the OTA update... The only other curveball so far was that activation took awhile, the SIM it came with didn't match the order paperwork, and I had to figure that out for myself...
Looking for everyone's thoughts and/or guidance about what to do... On the one hand, I might root it myself once I am certain I am keeping it. On the other hand, I am worried what would happen if the phone develops issues and I needed to return it or whatnot..
Send it back asap and tell then the phone is used and how you know it's used.

Yea it's a restock at a non corporate store...somebody paid the 35 bucks to get VZN to wipe and put back in the box. That's why they won't let you leave without a screen protector. ..or at least keep suggesting one till you say sure now stfu
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
LOL... Someone rooted it and then returned it?
Tell them you'll keep it, but you know it was a return, so you want a partial refund.
Glad you got a restocked phone....Raise all hell and get a new phone.
Did your phone have all the plastic on it when you unboxed it? Should have been 2 on the metal outer ring. One around the camera. One over the back buttons. Front.back. and bottom of back. (Last one is some type of retail sticker or something. Didn't really read it. Just ripped it off and threw it out)

Sure didn't look like a restock. Had all the plastic: front, back, 2x along the sides, camera, buttons... I ordered it online and it was shipped to me; wouldn't that reduce chances it was a restock, or am i missing something...?
Not on the same phone, but I had a gnote 2 that came pre-bootloader unlocked. No screen cracks, nothing. It was sweet.

hmm. maybe they are preping a pre-rooted one for vzw? LOL ... who am i kidding. they would never do that.
Just after the phone was released, someone else posted that their phone said that it was rooted as well. If you're going to root anyway, I wouldn't worry about it. If not, you may want to exchange it (unless you want to revert to stock yourself - there's a thread that tells how to do that too).
Edit: here's the thread I was talking about. Read from post #20.
I have owned a Nexus 7 2nd gen for a couple months now and have just started to get random flashes of black (occurs for not even a quarter second) ...
I am wondering what causes this...
I have not damaged the Nexus in any way and bought it brand new..
I have only used CleanRom and PA ROM...
The functionality of the tablet remains great, but the flashes are very annoying ...I have tried clean installing multiple times but the flashes still happen...
Any feedback/solutions would be a big help...
Thanks

I've noticed black lines when playing Terraria for hours but its only the background of certains areas. I chalked I up as game glitches.
I haven't seen anything outside of that.

I had that happen soon enough for a return to be viable. Do some more Google searching and you'll find people who fixed this as a hardware issue. They had to open the back and fiddle a connection. Didn't sound to hard but I just went to best buy instead.
Happy hunting, sorry I don't have a link.

Yea I would exchange it before it is too late. Doesn't seem that troublesome but if it got worse, or worst, disconnected entirely, it would bring bad news.

Just because you bought it off ebay doesn't mean it doesn't still carry the 1 year manufacturer warranty on the hardware. It would require you to send it in, but worth a shot.
Once you pop the back and start fiddling with hardware, you run the risk of doing enough damage where Asus will void the warranty. I think I would check with Asus first before resorting to hardware modifications.
