As the title says, I'm on my 2nd 32gb aluminum 6p and unsure of what to do next.
The first had numerous problems, random reboots, crashes and NFC issues too. NFC would only work intermittently and only in contact with whatever it was exchanging info with. Other NFC devices just had to be close.
The replacement came yesterday but the screen is so yellow and still NFC issues.
I know where to place the phone for NFC and have no troubles with my N4 or N6 but as I say, it works intermittently only and only then when moved around.
I really like the phone, camera, fingerprint reader etc but after 2 models with issues I'm not sure whether I should try a third.

I would definitely try a third. Third time lucky....
If it was me the yellow tint would bug me way too much and would always play on the back of my mind.

Thanks - the yellow is too off putting, its really strong. The NFC is really bothering me, is it weak in this phone? I've found others with similar issues on the net. If I could have a 6p with fully working NFC, no lags, reboots or holdups, and no tinted screen, I'd be very happy.
Just RMA it: I am on my third one because of the yellow/pink screen issue and the new replacement has it. This one probably will go back and then I am done with it and will wait till next year's model. Still loving my N6 though, despite weaker camera and lack of fingerprint scanner and slightly wider form factor.
In regards to your NFC issue. Do you try putting the visor near to the NFC device? I get better results that way.

My position too, I'm even using the N6 now and it's the new camera and fingerprint sensor from the 6p I'm missing most. As stupid as it sounds, I'm considering a different size or colour 6p. OK, that itself won't solve anything, but kind of going off the aluminium one now!

Yep, tried all areas of the visor plus the exact spot mentioned on the instructions - which seems to work the least best of all. That's concerning, having nfc problems with both devices. I've eeven tried my own NFC tags at home. N6 and N4, no problems, both reliable and work 100%. N6P, both models, a few times at best.
These aren't cheap phones. If you're not 100% happy, return it.
Thanks - I've had another chat with Google, they've said that the colour is a known issue and to give it two weeks to resolve itself which im not entirely happy about to be honest.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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'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.
Just curious if anybody else was experiencing problems with their touches registering lower than where they were actually touching. Mine registers just lower and to he right of where I'm actually contacting the screen. Its not a deal breaker because otherwise I've got no issues but can get rather annoying when trying to select small links or icons.
If this is just an issue with mine is it hardware related or can it be fixed with software?

I noticed a LOT of touch inacuracies in relation to the keyboard initially (touch "a" and would get "aaa," for example) but using SwiftKey Flo more or less corrected the issue for me (I'm sure the swype-like feature of the stock keyboard may have done the same).
Does OP have a screen protector? Sometimes I've seen that happen on other devices with certain protectors but not others.
Again, Google.. Really?
I'm very disappointed to see that others are experiencing this problem. I am hoping that it won't be too persistent.. It's not crippling at this point. Were you rooted when you returned yours? Here's hoping that I won't have to return this thing.. I'm in love.
Well, it's gotten to the point that I can't stand the inaccuracies and it's almost crippling considering I cannot type posts without having issues at some point. Going to have to return and hope the next one I get is better or just sell it off and see if updates or hardware revisions alleviate the issue.
Asus and google really dropped the ball with the QC on these screen components. I normally prefer not to be an early adopter but the sales tempted me, and I guess it isn't all bad since I can still sell this for more than I paid if I have no luck with replacements.
I'm wondering if it really is a QC problem, or if this is just the way the tablet was made to keep the cost low. It really does look more and more like a (cheap) hardware issue at this point.

Come on, guys...please someone with a 6P confirm if this is how it is for you or not...
It all looks normal to me. Also the fingerprint scanner will reflect light differently than the phone body because it's recessed into the body of the phone. Which in turn can make it look different. But yours looks normal. The bar at the bottom is supposed to be slightly diff than the body of the phone to give a two tone effect.

Yes...it does. It is not about functionality tho. I just do not know if this is how it is supposed to look. As I said I do not remember my first unit (built in Octomber) to have two different colors. Or at least it was more of the same shade. That is why this one seems weird to me.

It could very possibly be a different shade. But I am just saying that unless it is effecting the usage of the device, why does it matter. It's not like you could trade it in on the basis that the fingerprint scanner paint is a slightly different shade then your first model. You are hyper focused on a non issue. Are you worried that you got a refurbished one. Because you probably did. And that would definitely explain the difference in paint. But still, you have a fully functional device.

Well yea...I am kinda worried it was a refurbished device. But the thing is...I do not know if it was indeed refurbished or not. The guy at the shop where I requested a replacement opened the second one in front of my eyes. He cut the exterior seal and also the seal on the box. So...might it be refurbished? How can I tell?

Yeah it is hard to say. I would assume it's new, but maybe they have refurbs stocked from huawei on hand for trade outs. I don't really know how it works. I have gotten refurbished phones in the past though and have not experienced negative side effects. My HTC m7 which I had for the full 2 years was one of my favorite phones. My first model did crap out though in the first week and I had to mail it in to swap it and definitely got a refurbished one. But it still works fine to this day. I could see where they had glued it back together at the top though and it made me uneasy for the first few months.

This is a little bit off topic...but is it legal to sell refurbished phones without saying they are refurbished? The shop I bought it from claims it maight be a new phone. Idk if they collaborate with Huawei. Nexus devices are not so Popular in Romania. The 6P launched here on something arount 22nd of December (I bought it on 23rd...but the phone was manufactured in October).
Back on topic...do you think it looks normal? Still waiting for more replys from guys that own a Graphite Nexus 6P
