Is anyone actually happy?

So I picked up my Nexus 7 from GameStop, and I can't express how happy I am about this purchase! I always see everyone complaining about dead pixels, lifted screens, etc. Are there other people out there just as happy as me? I don't see anything wrong with the hardware, and 4.1.1 runs beautifully, couldn't be happier!

It's hard to say, since mine hasn't arrived yet. I'm in Aus, so that's expected.
Most of what I've heard is very positive, though.

I'm happy love it at this price!
Mine appears to be perfect from the play store except the flicker issue.

Its fair to say that reading XDA around the launch of a new bit of hardware you've bought will make you paranoid as hell.
A lot here sit at home with their forensic kits waitng for their new equipment to arrive then put the thing through an hours inspection at least as soon as they get it. They'll have all the weird test patterns for the screen that XDA have produced along with microscopes and measuring calipers.
In other words, if you want to feel good about your new toy, probably best not to come here for a bit.... It can be the OCD centre of the internet at times.

I might be when mine arrives next month if it is defect-free

I recieved mine in Melbourne, AUS yesterday with the screen completely stuffed - Washed out, burn-in and uneven backlighting!
So no, I am not particularly happy, but if mine was good then I would be VERY happy.

I agree 100%, everyone waiting on their 7 should avoid these forums for a minute... when I was on my way to pick mine up, I was paranoid as hell, couldn't stop thinking about dead pixels, or something.. and I usually have horrible luck when I buy retail products, I always get the defects. Guess someone was watching out for me for the 7 ahaha

I had to return mine due to faults, but I'm still very happy with it! Faults happen, esp on new runs, and historically I've been very lucky with my tech. I'm not happy I have to wait to play with it again, but that'll be outweighed by the replacement arriving fault free. Enjoy yours!

Got any pics?
It's a $200 device so you can't expect the screen quality to be like a Pioneer Kuro.... Its a decent screen for the money, but yeah its not HD S+ AMOLED. Its not $800 either.

If mine didn't have dead pixels and screen bulge.....I'm sure I'd be happy.

Until it heats up and separates......like mine

I admit if there were a few things that were native to the N7 I'd be ALOT happier .( support for flash- I know this is Adobe's main fault, a sd slot , a rear high quality camera, Gorilla Glass instead of Corning® Fit Glass , plastic bezel replaced with a metal one, ) But hey what can you expect with a price just above the $200.00 mark ?
Overall I'm happy so far.
-I'm having some issues with the touch pad/lag in games but I'm now blaming that on immature Tegra drivers .Hoping an update fixes this soon.

Picked up from Gamestop!? Off topic, but you got yours today? As in they just called you and said it was in? =.D
...Or was it more along the lines of you just saying you got it from Gamestop some days ago? =.[

Yes your right, SD card is a big one. For the camera, I have an upgrade in march (Verizon) and I plan on getting the best android phone I could get my hands on. But I have the 16gig so I haven't ran into an issue with memory yet. Also gorilla glass would have been lovely, and the metal over plastic of course. But being my first tablet, for only 250$, I could definitely overlook some of these faults!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

I'm not particularly happy. Mine arrived dead, and remained dead even after being left on charge overnight. Reading through these forums, this is the list of faults I've seen.
- Dead on arrival
- Dead after a few hours use
- Light bleeding down side of the screen
- Screen/colour washout
- Yellow tints on the screen
- Image retention lasting minutes
- Dead pixels
- Screen glass bulging
- Creaking screens
- Erratic touch screen / dead zones
- One legged type sound from speakers
- Microphone dead on arrival or failing within days
- Endless NFC force closes on first boot
- Lag
However, I do agree with kitch9's sentiment. I'm guessing only people with faults are posting and I'm hoping there's plenty of perfect devices out there somewhere! It is a human trait to tell more people if you receive bad service, rather than good.

Mines is running perfect and defect free. Always seem like no matter the product, there's always a percentage that has issues or people that has gripes with it. Don't let those mess up your experience with your device. Its a great deal and it performs better than most high end tablets/phones out right now. Its a great deal for the power you get. Very happy to own one.

I'm happy my I/O unit is perfect
Well sort of ie: random crashing (NFC mostly, menu buttons crashed once) flickering, top bar freezing, dead pixels (3 of them), speaker volume sucks. Urgh the glass on this sucks! I have micro scratches already! My 4S and iPad combine don't have as many!
But its all cherry other wise

Picked mine up from Gamestop and it had no faults. I was the only one in my town to pre-order the thing which is surprising. Its because my little Nexy didnt have to share a box with others so he slept unharmed while he was on the plane

Mine is perfect. No lag, no light bleeding that I can see when using, audio works, no screen lifted, battery life is great (first charge last night, and only because I forgot to turn off Dice so it kept the tablet on, doh!).

I love mine. Got a nicely built one , just like my galaxy nexus was. Although we shouldn't be guessing and hoping for products that we are paying for..

[Q] New Nexus owner with screen lift

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.

1 Lonely dead pixel (2013)

Recently bought my New Google Nexus 7 (2013) from Bestbuy this past Saturday. and I've loved it, and will keep on loving it. but I noticed one small, lonesome, scared, dead pixel around the left hand corner. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but considering I'm still in the 14 day warranty I was wondering should I honestly waste my time, get perhaps a new unit and maybe the new unit could be worse than the one i currently own?
There's absolutley nothing wrong with the current unit I own, besides the Dead Pixel. and was curious if anyone else had the same issue? would you suggest returning it, and actually get what I truly want. or should i just forget about it. I mean it's pretty hard to see, but just knowing that it's that is just killing me. I have OCD and this is not helping it :|
All comments are welcomed.
Also, does anyone else notice a rattle noise coming from the rear, back camera when you tap on it? not to worried about it. but just wondering if it's something TOO worry about.

Well, I would say bring it back to Best Buy, especially since you are still in the return period. That's what it's for! And if the new one is worse than that one, you can return it too!

I stayed in the parking lot of best buy playing with mine until I was satisfied. I exchanged one within an hour of using it. My second one was perfect! No light bleed or any issues!

I've picked up my 32Gb on saturday and haven't looked back to the 16gb. from what I've heard it gets full quick, and when i first looked at my total storage it said I had 25 Gigs left, so I can only imagine what 16Gb had left.

Got mine via Amazon and it had 4 dead pixels, sent it back and my second one is perfect, no dead pixels.
If it had been one dead pixel, I'd probably still send it back for replacement. So I say get a replacement.

I got a dead pixel too
Going to staples tomorrow and exchange it. I got it from staples online.

Can someone recommend the best app for testing pixels, light bleed, touch sensitivity, etc? I remember using them on my 1st gen N7 but I can't remember which ones.

i usually turn brightness all the way up, go into a dark room, google deal pixel test and use any
to check for light bleed use dark black ground and check around edged... rotate other colors to check for dead pixels.. pixels are tiny on this 1080p 7" screen
for multi touch look up multi touch tester on googple play and download the app

How is ASUS warranty for nexus 7 bought from amazon US, shipped to Australia?
If i get any problems, i'll probably just live it i guess, the price you pay for being an early adopter

the problem is that you may return this and then get one with 5 dead pixels and dust under the screen. it may take you 6 exchanges and a headache before you're happy. there's no quality control on these at all so you really have to decide. I have dust under mine and a tiny dead pixel on my 2nd one.. returned the first for a dead pixel. I'm keeping the second.. idc anymore.

Mine has a dead pixel and Like others said, it's kind of hard to notice as its only 1 and it's not really worth it for me to keep going back and returning it as another one may have bigger problems, it's up to you as it obviously shoyldnt have one so you definitely have a right to get a new one so if you don't mind definitely get a new one, I'm leaving to go back to England tomorrow so don't have the time/patience to get a new one, will probably get it repaired a few months down the line

Yet Another Touchscreen Responsiveness Thread

I know there have been a few (perhaps this is an understatement) threads about the touchscreen wonkiness some users are experiencing, but I'd like a consolidated bit of advice.
My touchscreen is weird. Sometimes everything seems perfectly normal, but I've noticed a few examples of it being weird:
When trying to put an app shortcut on the homescreen (long pressing) it often doesn't work; it seems to think I am moving my finger when I'm not
When in drawing apps, if I try to draw fine lines, sometimes it registered random points and lines on other parts of the screen
Using a multitouch test app, it periodically will register a third touch when only using two fingers
The keyboard double taps letters almost every single time I type
So my questions are:
Do you think this is a software issue? If so, how do you explain some people not having the problem.
Do you think my best bet is to exchange it? I have no issues other than the touchscreen (no light bleed, etc.) and I'm a little scared I'll get a worse unit.
What are your experiences with these issues?
Thanks for reading!

I had a perfect 16gb that I returned in order to get a 32gb. The 32gb had the horrible touch screen issues. Using YAMTT app, it would register multiple touches long after I was no longer touching the device. I returned it to Best Buy and got a new 32gb and it doesn't have the issues. At first I thought it was the JSS update, so I didn't accept for a few days. Went ahead and updated and still have no issues on my new device.

This has already been documented, the primary thread for this is over in the Q&A section AFAIK currently. Which is here:

Mine is super extra mega responsive.... ANOTHER GREAT PRODUCT...

I am basically having the same issue. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2395289
A reboot seems to help mine. Mine does not seem as bad as some peoples. I am trying to decide if I need to exchange it or not. It sounds like it might be software more than a faulty one off hardware.

Mine seems completely fine outside of the occasional freak bug with finger-sliding on my keyboard pressing like 80 keys. Fixes itself if I lift my finger up.
I have a 32 GB.

Don't know where it is at the moment, but there is a thread over on the Google Products forums regarding this. Google knows of the issue, and as of a few days ago, they are looking into a fix. I think it's software. People say that the second upgrade you do ruins it and makes the touch less responsive. So, I think it will be fixed with a new update. Just give it some time. I'm trying not to think about it. Don't wanna ruin it for me. Hehe. Hang in there. If it REALLY bothers you, exchange it for another one. Obviously, you run the risk of not getting rid of the problem. Who knows.

I had this problem at first. I think it is just a heck of a lot more sensitive, interpreting varying pressure of my finger as movement as the "footprint" changes. After I got used to how lightly I should press compared to the previous Nexus, the problems went away.

Mine is working fine but i noticed when placing my hand on it when i use YAMTT, it will register 3-6 point and starts flipping. When i pull my hand away these points keep on flipping for some seconds. It is over responsive compared to my S2 which registers Zer0 points when i put my hand on it (the way it should be). This was happening with JSS15Q as well as JSS15R now.

Flashing one of sfhub's custom touchscreen fixes helps for most of the issues. I use ts20 and it works 98%. 2% of the time it just locks up/stops taking input for a second or two. I've only really noticed it when playing games (terraria).
ts10 worked well but would occasionally freak out with a bunch of inputs.
None of this would be noticeable outside of game playing.
Sfhubs fixes are pretty great. At least get it usable until Google figures it out.
I was hoping 15R update would have fixed this but still waiting.

The reason why it works great in a vertically is because the key word. (Holding it)True ground That's why.

Possible ways to tell if you are buying from a newer batch.

Like many I have had many problems with getting a Nexus 7 2013 that is defect free. I bought my first one back in the middle of September which was a 16GB. It had massive light bleed and very noticeable issues with the touch screen especially when typing. I exchanged it a few days later for another 16GB which had no light bleed but also developed issues with the touch screen while typing. I have read about all the possible fixes and software variants which messes with the touch screen but today decided that I will try exchanging one more time. This time I decided to go for a 32GB since it was all Best Buy had left.
Anyways I noticed some differences in the packaging and initial setup of the tablet and I thought maybe these would either be:
A) A sign that these tablets are a newer production run
or
B) Differences between the 16GB and 32GB
The first thing I noticed is that instead of one sticker holding the lid on the box, there are now two, staggered, one on each side of the box. Also these stickers have Asus engraved on them, my 16GB didn't have that, at least not that I noticed. The second thing I noticed is that the plastic wrap around the tablet itself had arrows pointing towards the power and volume buttons with icons for each. And lastly, the tablet did not do a mandatory update upon setup. It was already on software version JSS15N.
Anyways, so far after updating to the latest JSS15R, everything seems good. Light bleed is almost non existent and no problems to be had with the touch screen.
If you are like me and don't think you should have to live with defects, or should be forced to flash things to the boot loader using trial and error to get the tablet working like it should, then I suggest looking for these things. You can check to see if there are two stickers without breaking open any packaging, just removing the sleeve.
Maybe if people notice other differences we can compile the information here and people can use it to get a properly functioning tablet.
If this is posted somewhere already, please spare me the search lecture, I tried.
If you are someone who bought a launch tablet and believe it works perfectly and feel that everyone is being too picky, spare me that as well.
Let's help everyone get what they paid for!

What is the production date on the issue-free device that you got? I saw tens of N7 boxes in stores here in Poland and they've been all from June production batch. I tested maybe five in three different stores all of them were having touchscreen issues. I test in maps by trying pinch to zoom and two finger rotation gestures or simply by placing two fingers on the screen on the same vertical axis. The ones that I was able to test failed all three tests.

Well I feel silly I didn't even know they put the date. Anyways it says 2013.08

I'm curious if anyone owns a September batch, along side their experiences with them.
are there even any out?

I got 3 N7 with these two stickers and all had touch issues. I think the plastic around the N7 had symbols instead of arrows. Batch date were 07.

Hey, I'm thinking about getting the cellular version one.
Where can I locate the production date? is it on the box? of on the device itself ?
thanks :good:
Hope they can fix these issues with a software update.

I'm also interested in buying one if I can get some sort of tip it would help. It all seems so random so far though.

It's on the side of the box. There's a sticker that also has a serial numer printed on it.

I'm going to buy one, they arrive at portugal this week (day 3 to be precise) but i will not buy one just yet. i'll wait a little longer for more informations on the problems and solutions and hopping they start releasing almost completely bug free batch. I think this touchscreen problem is kind of a deal breaker for what i have been reading. Lets see if i can hold a little longer without a nexus 7 since i sold my 2012 to buy this one, ahah.

Production dated 2013 08 here and no problems at all.

I think this is a very good post. maybe people start realysing that the 08 2013 batch as less or non problems and can make a better purchase.

Mine is 32GB from 2013.09 .. no touch problem , but it does have a small dark dot between the screen and glass.....

You all still have the low volume hissing right? I got 32gb 08 model and that's the only issue I have.
Also, can someone check if you get a sort of rattling sound when playing the stock alarm sound cesium on higher volumes. Feels like the speakers are rattling when playing it, but don't notice that on other sounds.
