Has the Nexus 7 hardware been rev'd yet ?

Given the reports that Google CS are advising that the screen lift problem has been resolved. Has anybody who recently received a Nexus 7 from Google, got a picture of the internals near the screen bezel that shows what hardware changes have been made ?
If not, then I will continue to assume that the hardware has not been updated... and that the Google CS advice regarding fixes is just "words".
Deag

I think the problem is shorter screws. I don't think anything has changes other then that.

Just placed an order for another replacement earlier today. Should be getting it in a couple days to test it out.

the answer is somewhere here in these forums, I came looking for it again, and found this thread. The revisions id is on the box, apparently. Still looking for the thread

not necessarily hardware revisions, but production runs:

I doubt google CS would know if a hardware issue is resolved and even if they did know they wouldn't know which stock their warehouse is shipping. They will always tell you the tablets are fine. WHat CS rep from any company will tell you over the phone not to order the product?

Manufacturing defects on the first batches ??

After talking to many people , most of them have asked not to buy the first ones as they might have defects , am wanting response from the people who have bought it already , like last year one s suffered housing colour coming off , one x had WiFi problem, I don't want if there are any problems in the one ! I am selling my two HTC one s for this incredible one . Thank you for responses !

Just buy it in April, you should be fine. And if you are not satisfied you can return it and buy another one anyway.

Mine is fine. No problems with it.

Mine is ok too but there where/are some with gaps around the edges of the phone where the aluminium bonds with the plastic.

you mean around the speaker parts....
either-way there was a reason for the delay, so its always better to wait a little

Definitely remember seeing a picture of a guys phone where it had a gap in the bonding process on the left hand side of the phone and anyway by the time they ship all the little issues should be ironed out.

Buy in April if you are worried about defects.
Defects are most likely to be found in first batch, no matter which smartphone you go for this includes Samsung and iPhones this is certainly my experience anyway.
Like someone said earlier if its defective simply get replacement.

I got mine on the 18th March and I can't fault it.

We had a thread where the advice was to worry about the later batches because the shortage would make them rush the manufacturing thus causing many defects in the construction. There also have been many concerns about the first batch citing poor build quality.
I haven't actually seen one in person yet but I've watched all the videos and read all the reviews. This phone is praised as being the best built mobile phone ever made. The design and construction, the machining of the aluminum body for example, are on a level I've never seen in a consumer product like this. The general impression of reviewers when they first get their hands on it is awe at how incredible it is.
Accept perfection for what it is, almost perfect.
Just my take on all the fretting...

I got mine on the 15th March and sadly it's having to go back for exchange, problems with the screen (flickering etc) and the top left of the screen is raised.

My One is in good shape. Arrived today.

This won't affect later batches as the shortage is due to the lack of camera components.
If you want to build 10 phones yet you only have 5 cameras to include on the phones why would you rush building all 10 then? Shouldn't you be focusing on the manufacturing instead while still waiting for the other 5 so the processing would still be in sync? Unless of course you wanna see your employees slacking/nothing to do because you rushed up finishing the 5 phones yet the other 5 cannot be made yet due to lacking of parts.

[Q] Wont charge while turned on.

hey guys
I've just received my nexus 7 2012 from Ebay.
The seller clearly stated that the device couldn't charge while turned on.
So now, is there anyway to charge it while it's on, or fix this problem.
It also doesn't interact with the PC when it is plugged in, which is why I bought the tablet in the first place.
Thanks,
Jem

Return it to stock firmware. If it still won't, it's hardware related... Though I don't see how... Haven't read any issues on your situation.

Did you try a different cable and charger?
Gsam from playstore will tell you what mA is using while plugged in. Curious to see what it says. ?

Thanks for your reply,
GSam shows no current being put into the device, and I think it is on stock firmware, I've just bought it as I said and I've done a root check just in case.
The device has already been factory reset when I received it so I'm certain it's hardware.
The previous owner said that the micro USB connected had been replaced, so i'm thinking maybe a whole I/O assembly would help fit if not narrow down the possible problem.
Also, do you think a new battery would help? It's only a power source but some wires to the little connector could be damaged.
Thanks again,
Jem

Where does your Note 4 Made in?

Mine says it's Made in Vietnam . Not in Korea? Why? I got the T-Mobile Version of Note 4

Are you serious with this thread? Wtf is wrong with you man? WHO CARES

Actually it would be interesting to see if the screen gaps people report whether there is a manufacturing facility causing that issue

Thread kinda makes sense but in the wrong way, mine made in Vietnam no gaps at all, last year when I had the Note 3 similar kind of thread was made for display issue and the end conclusion was note 3's made in Korea had no display issues while the Vietnam's one did, I personally had the issue it was some yellow hue thing on my vietnam made note 3 but I also got 3 more imported note 3 from Korea they were all perfect while all my friends note 3 made in Vietnam had same yellow hue issue, so maybe this thread makes sense in terms of manufacturing process as stated in above comment.

Made in Korea.

Exynos N910C - Black - Made in Korea.

My battery says made in korea, assembled in Vietnan, so what is the point ??

Mine says made in China.

Made in Vietnam, no gaps.

Made in Korea

How to know guy?

Mine is N910F and made in Vietnam. No gap.

Wonder if the issues are actually caused by cheap or defective chargers? I haven't had any issues with mine, it does not even get that warm during charge.

My battery gets so hot on Quick Charge, you can't hold the device. I had to turn the setting off, and it seems to help.

The charger that came with the device or the Samsung Quick Charge for the car.

Yep, just posted about this (accidentally) in the Q&A forum. It will sure be interesting to see how all this shakes out. I don't want to give up this phone, though... What a financial disaster for Samsung, but they can probably stomach it.

...

Damn...this will really suck. I'm pretty sure the turnaround time to get a new Note 7 will be bad. I use my spen a lot and I created a bunch of notes with he new Samsung Notes app which isn't backwards compatible with any of the other note phones.
Even if I backup to the cloud, what other device can I use to view Samsung Notes?

It looks like we will all be getting new phones...

I wonder how that will work. I'm okay with waiting for the Sprint store to get them in stock and then I go exchange it, but if they want me to send it in then wait for a replacement, that's a no go...

Considering I already shattered the back of my note 7 I wonder if they'll be nice enough to give me a new one...

This kind of scares me though. Sometimes my phone gets unbelievably hot while charging specially overnight. I wake up because I get burned by my phone and have to disconnect it from the charger so it can cool down.

That is not normal. My note 7 is perfectly cool (battery temperature below 90 F) while charging overnight.

All of the major news outlets are picking up on the recall: http://money.cnn.com/2016/09/02/technology/samsung-galaxy-note-7-recall/
Has anyone asked or heard anything from Sprint? I'm guessing we won't hear anything until all of the details are worked out. I've kept an eye on my phone and no overheating thus far...
According to a different article that I read as of yesterday (9/1) 35 devices out of the 2.5 million or so sold have experienced the issue. Percentage wise it's a very small risk. Just be careful and don't use cheap aftermarket chargers... (I know, I know, several were reported to use the Samsung charger).
Personally I wonder if it's a scaling problem (i.e. battery size) with their fast charge technology... This is the largest battery they are fast charging as far as I know. (I did NO research to verify any of this).

I've wondered the same thing. It's amazing (and nice) how fast these batteries charge, but I'd be okay if it was 25% to 50% slower. That would still be pretty quick.
Even better yet, use a battery that can handle the current fast charge rate.

My phone charges cool also but i don't wanna worry about future issues, the phone is fairly new

Wow..
I called the Sprint store I got my phone from and they said don't bring it in because Samsung is replacing the phone directly. It sounds like the carriers are not going to take responsibility for any issues.

SMH
I love this phone. But how will samsung give us new phones? I called my local sprint store and they said don't bring it in? Are we supposed to be without a phone for some weeks or more? It is crazy, to think most of us just got this phone a few weeks ago.
