Nexus 7 defects?

How many of you are having manufacturer defects out of the box?
Had a dead pixel on mine that I picked up from GameStop
Also it seems the screen is coming up on the left like if the adhesive is giving out already.
I spoke to GameStop who referred me to play store but then play store said any warranty claims have to be done through the retailer. Obviously GameStop is out of stock but they said they were emailing corporate for me today to ask for another unit to be sent. So I should have mine replaced around Wednesday hopefully.

I got so used to amoled screens I forgot about dead pixels on LCD. Is it possible it being an LCD it might just be stuck?
Anyone ever have any success with one of those stuck pixel fix apps?
Either way I'm doing an exchange because of the screen not being recessed on left side properly. But hopefully no dead pixels on next one.

Lol. Looks like trolling but I did read in another thread a guy had issue with his screen stating to come off his I/O device. I noticed mine while I was holding it on the left side the screen was giving in and making some creaking and such. Upon closer inspection I noticed on the left side/middle area the screen was actually sitting above the frame. Everywhere else it was sitting nicely and recessed under the frame.
Anyway the risk of defects is always going to be higher with the first runs.

Download a dead pixel test app on play store. Its basically solid color backgrounds you alternate so in some cases you'll be able to see the pixel in a red background etc.

Could you be kind enough to post a pic of your screen defect?

Sure...its a bit difficult to see on a picture but its basically the screen rising above the border in one area so the edge of the screen is exposed. That same area is soft as well where pressing on makes the screen move in and out with creaking. The rest of the edges are sturdy.
Dead pixel I'm not posting photo since I'm sure everyone knows what that looks like but its located on the app drawer button in portrait mode. Shows up the most in white backgrounds.

Mine has a similar issue, its on the left middle section. Whatever is holding the screen down is coming loose like the adhesive. The screen works fine but you can see the screen is raised a couple a cm or so. Makes a slight creak sound.
Might contact Asus for warranty and see how they do it or just give Gamestop some time so i can exchange it.

Bet this is going to be a known issue all around. I was able to push it down but i figure its adhesive so its eventually going to happen again and again until the adhesive isn't sticky anymore. Sad days but other than that this tablet is solid.

Well according to ifxit, they are small retaining clips that hold it so i hope its not a broken clip. I could easily put more adhesive down a it looks like it just pops up.

I really appreciate it and thank you. Now I know what to look for once my N7 arrives.

My Gamestop doesn't have any extras, calling Google to see if they can do anything. I would like to see if i can get a replacement sent out and then send this one back but we shall see.

I returned 3 transformer primes for screen defects. Asus qc isn't the greatest. It's probably why they're prices are so good for what you get.

On mine when the brightness is on the lower end the screen starts to flicker a little. I think it's software related. But once you set the brightness higher it stops doing it.
Oh and it only does that on white backgrounds like google voice search.

Excellent device but mine isn't flush on the right side of the screen. (Portrait)
After a few hours of use it's starting to pop if you press midway on the bezel.
I'll get it swapped in due course

Is anyone else able to reproduce the screen flicker issue?

Buying a Nexus 7 soon.

I'm planning on buying the N7 soon, as I played with it in a store today and it's definitely everything I want in a tablet.
That aside, I did hear about a lot of issues with hardware when it first came out.
You think any widespread production issues would be solved by now so my chances of buying a non-defective device would be better?
Buying from Walmart most likely since they have layaway,
Thanks.

Its likely that the newer batch of the Nexus 7 device may not have those screen issues, but again, that doesn't mean you should not buy and wait few more months... i bet in 3 months there will be new device coming out and that will create same dilemma. Bottom line -you can always return it and get a new one.

To be honest mate, I think Asus were rushing to get it out, so the QC wasn't as good as it should be.
I got a N7 last month, C80 version. I have to say absolutely flawless. No issues what so ever (touch wood)
Just get it out of the box in store, pus from the top right and bottom left side of the screen, check for any screen flex's.
If no screen flex's your good to go, take it home and have a little while testing it to see if you can find any other issues, such as Speaker crackle or light bleed.
If no issues here your good to go.
Good luck with this amazing device ! Have fun, hope I helped.

Put a N7 on layaway today, anymore insight?

What I would look for.
Dead pixels (use an app)
Low brightness flicker. Open maps or some other white screen app at 0% see if it flickers.
Test screen responsiveness when its hot. Try playing a graphics intensive touch screen game for a while and see if it stops responding at any point or fails to recognize touch input.
Try using the keyboard as well this also triggers it.
Look at the screen at the store. Ask them to open the box (most will allow you) and look at the screen behind a black background. If you can see the gray part above the screen on both sides your good. Also test with your finger nail glide your nail from the screen to the gray edge. It should hit contact with the gray part not fall off the glass then hit.
Test the speaker at high levels. Make sure there is no whispers or that it sounds like its blown.

He is saying the glass should be slightly recessed, so you should feel a small edge. The way I see it is if you buy it from a store you will be able to return it, so don't be too worried. Also, its been a few months now, I wonder if the issues have slowed down some.
I got mine last night and so far its been great. I love it.

I wouldn't worry about issues, it's a vocal minority.. We have 5 here, all of them are perfect.

[Q] Did your RMA have problems?

Ive gone thought 2 RMAs and ive phoned Google for the 3 one.
- 1 device: All the device made noise, cracking all the time.
- 2 device: Horrible screen bleeding and noise on the speaker
-3 device: A black line from top to bottom of the device. Can be seen on white screens.
Im actually thinking on asking a refund and getting other phone. I love N4 but all come with some sort of problem.
What has been your experience?

I'll disagree only because people have suggested the same thing to me. I'm waiting for my 3rd device to ship. My first one has a bright spot you see in the middle whenever the phone is held from an angle, like a cluster of stuck pixels. The second had a bad yellow tint and black dust under the screen.
In the past 2 years I've bought 2 Lenovo laptops, an Asus Zenbook, a PSVita, an iPod Touch, a Samsung TV, Nexus One/S/Galaxy, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S3, a Xoom and a Galaxy Tab 10.1.
At NO point have I had to return or exchange a single one of these devices.
I otherwise love the device, but I have no doubt that corners were cut in the manufacturing process to attain the low price.

You are lucky your rma is shipping. This is my first rma with the n4 and they're not even shipping it to me. It's been almost 2 weeks too.

I ordered 4 originally (not for selling, for friends). Mine was the only one with problem (overheating, screen flicker, bad MicroUSB port). The RMA'd device was awesome in every way, but had no functioning Magnometer (so no orientation sensing or compass functionality). Still waiting for the second RMA to get here. Other than that, amazing phone.

My first device had the yellow spot syndrome so I RMA'ed it. Was disappointed to find the replacement had a yellow tint on the display. Was planning on RMAing that too until I found out it could be fixed with software. So I'm now happy with my 2nd n4.

could I asked what software you used? I just called in a RMA today because of a yellow tint down the right side of my screen and it's hasn't went away in a long time so its probably not the glue..

Flashing the Jellytime kernel did it for me. There's also the Nexus 4 Display control that allows you to adjust it without changing kernels (I myself haven't used this but it looks promising).
I'm not sure if either would work if you have a stripe down the side, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks for the suggestions! Did you flash the jellytime kernel itself in the ROM thread, or did you flash the whole ROM along with the kernel? I don't know if there is a difference between the two besides the lack of OC. The kernel didn't fix the issues with me :c I might try the display control.

RMA's are now back ordered as well. Mine just changed to pre-ordered, and the CSR says they are now completely out of devices. I'm gonna say, crap like this contributes, as well as people that fry their phone OCing. OP absolutely has the right to a high quality device. But given the obvious supply issues Google has been having, I don't think it would have hurt to just deal with it for a couple weeks, none of those are deadline issues, and you have a full year to RMA for a manufacturer defect. I have a 3/4 inch tall strip across the center of my screen with no touch response, damn near cripples the device's usability.
Oh well, I guess that just means I get a phone from the third batch, that much less likely to have defects I hope. Or maybe I'll get the OP's refurb'd 1st device, cause I'm not that damned picky.
Again, OP does have the right to a high quality device, but now this kinda crap is screwing over user's with deadline issues.

my RMA was very fast (australia) shipped within 24hours of calling to setup the RMA
My phones earpiece cut out randomly so often i couldn't hear people when they called. the new one is perfect tho.

My old phone rattled and buzzed real loud and the replacement fixed that but it has a yellow tinted screen with clear spots.

they dont have any new ones to use for RMAs so people are just getting "refurbed" returns that already had problems even if the problems are unrefurbable like screen issues

Weird defect on screen.

Hello , I've had my Nexus 4 for about two weeks now. Tonight I was looking at an app that had a solid white background and I noticed in the upper right portion of my display a small anomaly. It's hard to see it directly in front of you. But if you look at it at an angle from the bottom ( I was laying in bed looking upwards towards the phone) you an kinda see it. It's almost like a line in the screen. Where you can almost see light behind it. It's about a 1/8 inch. It's brighter towards the screen but fades out more in the middle of the screen and doesn't go all the way across. Anyone know anything about this? If I have to send this back for warranty do I need to flash back to stock? Is Google like everyone else or are they cool with the flashing.. I would like to get this fixed. It's small but now I can really notice it... Anyone else got an opinion or thought?

The rule is if you're not happy, get it exchanged. Mine has really barely visible lines on white screens, but I don't really notice it. But I still might give google a call...I have had it since November though...

Had the same problem. Looked like a crack under the glass. Got a replacement that is much better. I reflashed Mine to stock before sending back though not sure if it's necessary.

DO reflash & relock bootloader.

Odd question. Regardless, my 32 gig unit from Memory Express in Calgary, Alberta was perfect, the box was in great shape, fully sealed and not damaged. The tablet had it's plastic protector wrapped around it, all accessories also as expected.

Maybe they're asking if it arrived without any defects?
IDK....
Mine was Ø defects.

I don't know exactly if this is suppose to be like this...But I've noticed that my N7 Gen2 arrived with these strange little "knicks", "dings" or indents...Whatever you wanna call them....Right between where the edge of my device is and where the screen starts.
It's a very minor defect if it is one...So I won't be returning it as everything else is perfect on it, and isn't exactly worth the hassle.

Like others, mine was factory sealed, the battery had about a 40% charge (I picked it up at a local Staples store).

My n7 came factory sealed but it has an oil slick on the back around the nexus label. In addition, I have noticed some of the reported problems with the gps and momentary freezing when I'm using a browser. Otherwise, I am quite happy with my n7.

Odd, I thought I was the only one. Picked mine up at a local Wal-Mart on a whim and was expecting a pristine N7 like my first four 2012 N7s. Checked the seals on the box just in case and they were all good, but was surprised to see what looked like a smudge/fingerprint on the screen after taking off the plastic (not mine, obviously) as well as little nicks on the top left edge right in between the screen and the back. Almost looks like as if someone tried to pry the thing open... the device itself works perfectly with no issues so I'm still trying to decide if it's worth taking a gamble and exchanging it for a new one.

Brand new. Still sealed. No issues or problems so far. 32GB Model Nexus 7

Picked first at Staples had been opened (seal on white box ropes) and plastic taken off abs it was already on. The screen was just off. In fact I looked at battery stats and it showed the tablet on just for a sec and not awake until 7 days later when I got it. I returned BC it had a dead pixel. Second was sealed and all however I am having multi touch issues. Just my luck.
