[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiveOhFour:
For the snarkiness with which i took up my reply i apologize, i guess ;) I agree with you, mostly in re: dust under the screen types of things, but whats being discussed in this thread isnt that, we need to be able to differentiate between the crazies and the others. But honestly, take a perfect tablet, and thats how its supposed to be, there shouldnt be that much interpretation, thats what you are supposed to get, not that plus a couple other minor flaws that you can deal with, you shouldnt have to. Take that to the extreme of magnifying glasses and dust and ill be just as quick to criticize, but for build quality and possible screen adhesive issues yea its a damn big deal, even if its barely noticable at the moment because of the implications on the future of your device, no one wants to be dealing with ASUS notoriously terribly CS in 1 month as their screen situation begins to deteriorate. I replied in the manner i did because i felt you were being a little to harsh, although i agree with what you said i didnt see the type of behavior you are criticizing in this particular thread yet. Ive seen the threads on macrumors w/people literally who have been through 37 ipads over dust specs ,i know, i do think this is different though, and if these threads have to suffer through the presence of a bunch of OCD ppl with no real problem so that 1 or 2 legitamately defective device owners can get advice and seek the proper recourse than i feel its worth it, i guess this is just a natural place for OCD people to hang out, like cleaning freaks hanging on the bleach aisle ;)

It makes no deference if you ordered from Google. If you think about it. Buying from GameStop could be better in 2 ways. One, GameStop ordered in bulk, thus for more wrapping and packaging. Two, if your detective you can just return it to your local GameStop. You will be waiting and paying for shipping and Google to process your tablet. You saying that "since you ordered from Google yours will be better than everyone else's" doesn't mean squat. I wish everyone's N7 would be perfect but just like the guys who said before there is no perfect electronic device out there. Not trying to hassle you but think before you speak. Type*. :-)

I've since got mine booked in to be swapped out, it's progressively got worse to the point where over 70% of the left side protrudes beyond the bezel and thus exceeds my tolerance for minor defects.

eBuyer didn't argue the toss, a courier is collecting it tomorrow morning, at cost to them of course.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Multisaft7:
Are there any other people from ebuyer with the wave of friday, who has this problem!??????

How it looks with the Guarantee, i am from Germany and bought my nexus 7 above ebuyer and shipped it above Borderlinx...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
many of the screen issues are from ebuyer sales. However, there are also reports from US customers too. Ebuyer gave me a returns authorisation instantly, and will collect today. You will probably have to pay freight (as you did in getting it to Germany)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Multisaft7:
That will be to much money, vor ship it back to UK and back again 2 Germany!!

I called ASUS and they said there is a global warrenty and i can ship it to ASUS
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timbermill:
Are ebuyer doing a straight swap when they collect yours? or will you be without it for a time?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
I'll assume that's for me, Timbermill. They have new stock appearing Wed/Thurs, so I'll have a couple of days without. No worries, would rather wait and set up a good one without having to re-do it all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timbermill:
Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
I hope Google will do it the way Amazon handles Kindles. Amazon will ship you a new Kindle if yours is messed up in any way (even minor things like squeaks) and then give you a prepaid shipping label to return the old one to them in 15 days (I forget the exact days). They will charge your credit card for the new one if you don't return the old one, but I think that's reasonable. I know Asus does this with some of their monitors too.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] question55:
Good/sad to hear that I'm not the only one with this issue. However, I actually (seemingly) fixed it. I ran my fingers along the left side, squeezing with mild-moderate force, from the flush to the non-flush / squeeky area and then FELT a click. Now it's flush I hope it stays that way. Try it out but use at your own risk! Good luck!

I just got back from exchanging my device at Sam's Club. There was somebody in line in front of me exchanging his Nexus 7, also. He had the same "left side screen" issue as I did. I hope this one is fine because they only had one left in stock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedshadow:
My Nexus 7 has a rattle coming from the inside of it. I can hear it best from the back side near the bottom when I shake it slightly. Spoke to the Play Store and they told me I'll need to take it back to Sam's Club to get it exchanged.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sr1ks:
eBuyer confirmed they are happy to offer a replacement, but not clear on when I can get a replacement...The pre-order dates go into august.. :(

on the other hand.. have already rooted and unlocked my tablet to will have to relock and wipe and loose all my customisation... not feeling brave enough to try and press it to Click in/Stick/..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedshadow:
Also... it doesn't rotate. Coincidence? :-)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
Have you set rotate in the notification bar?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churraman:
I'm also having this issue. The screen is popped up at the middle part on the left side about 1 millimeter, so it is barely noticeable but it does bother me. I can push it back to normal and it stays there for about 4 hours and then it pops up again and this makes me think it has something to do with the glue used to hold it. I'm not 100% sure it is due to a faulty bracket or something as it is able to stay in place for a few hours with just pushing it gently back into place. I was playing Shadowgun and I noticed the left hand area gets real hot so I do not know, maybe the heat from the tablet at that area is affecting the adhesive.

As a note I don't have any creaking or clicking sound as others have posted. I'll call gamestop to arrange for a replacement.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glenn37216:
Guys if your screen is popping up slightly .. don't hesitate to return it. Where I work N7's are coming in for returns by the two's with a fingernail gap in the lower side of the screen. This is a known defect by retailers and can ruin your N7 over time. So indeed be particular..... and retun it or you'll be sorry later !
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jrockttu:
Like most people in this thread, I also have the left screen issue. Mine is barely higher than the silver, so it doesn't bother me at all (despite my OCD with these things). The thing that DOES bother me is that it creates the creaking on that side of the screen. I don't even have to use much pressure, but if I tap the screen in the area of the back arrow (in landscape) it makes a clicking/creaking sound.

Considering I had to return two Transformer Primes with several stuck pixels and various screen defects, this seems on par for Asus's QC. I got mine from Sam's, so I'm just waiting a few weeks for the first production run to move out the door, then I'll exchange it for one that is hopefully fixed.

I see no problem with using it now, then just nandroiding and restoring on the new one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joedshadow:
Okay... I feel a little silly now. :-)

Still rattles though! ;-)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churraman:
I called gamestop 10 minutes ago and told the guy the screen issue. He said no problem, took my info and ordered a new replacement nexus 7 for me. He said I could keep the one I have until the new one arrives. He said he expected it to arrive in 1-2 weeks since that is when the next batch is due. SO definitely if you are having any issues call the store you got it from and try to exchange it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kozjegyzo:
I can confirm. Same issue here with the screen coming loose on the left side of the device. It's annoying. This device is also form Google I/O. It has a white back. The white is rubbing off where the back is in contact with the table or hands.

I hope this issue is only with the first batch being rushed into production (we've seen this happen a lot lately)...
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croak:
Another C6 with a creaky/slightly raised upper left screen. Bought from London Drugs in Vancouver BC...I'll probably be returning it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavySpark:
I tried something and came to another conclusion, play a graphics intensive game for a 30-60 minute time frame. The left side of your tablet gets warmer/hot (however you decide it feels) and i notice the screen comes up more after the tablet "cools" down. I am assuming the expansion and contraction due to the change in temperature is affecting the screen.

I would almost assume this will continue with almost any unit, it is a rather large assumption though.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FiveOhFour:
Ok am i to understand you bought your Nexus 7 tablet at a Pharmacy?!?! Thats so awesome lmao, "Yes m'am good morning, i need to pick up my blood pressure Pills, for Colllen, thats Collen with two L's mind you, and also a couple of those Google Nexus 7 Tablets all those American Chaps are Writhing to get a hold of, and thats Writhing with a W mind you"
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Croak:
It's more like a Canadian version of CVS or Walgreens, essentially a mid-sized department store that also has a pharmacy counter.

And dude...it's Canada, not the UK. We have chapped lips, Chaps by Ralph Lauren, the chaps the Harley guys think will protect them, and what those nice men at the Purple Parrot wear, sans jeans. But we don't call each other that word.

Actually, since I just got back from a few weeks in the UK I can pretty much guarantee they don't use the term much anymore either, though there IS a whole lot of "mate"ing going on over there. :)

[General Questions and Answers] MrKickstand:
Ok, so i have had the AT&T Galaxy S3 for a couple weeks now and its not wowing me like i was expecting and been eyeballing the AT&T HTC One X and not sure on getting that next and selling the S3. So what are your opinions on whats a better device and why its the better device. And before some one trys to bash me, i like other peoples review on devices and why than going by some internet post without hands on backing to it.
[General Questions and Answers] z555:
I bought the LG Optimus 4X HD just that. Look this way...
[General Questions and Answers] nutingut:
stag, expagor

Without actually testing it myself, the audio/music output quality of the HOX supposedly really sucks. At least, that has put me off of it. Though not great, I think you own the best device at the moment.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
So my dad is considering switching over to vzw and getting a gs3, which is a huge upgrade from his old evo. He wanted to go see it and so did I so I tagged along. When we got there we started to look at it and I have to say both of us were impressed by it.

Now the first thing I noticed. While some rep was blabbing about the phone with my dad I was trying to get into the bootloader. Since I have never had a Samsung phone I had no clue and searching yielded no results fast. So I powered it off and pressed a bunch of buttons and to my surprise instead of a bootloader I saw the Samsung logo and underneath it was a little unlocked lock that read custom below it. I assumed it meant it was unlocked and I was way to shocked to take a picture.

Just a little surprise. Now on to the next thing.

I checked out the nexus and I was loving it until I brought up a white page and could see the home screen burned in an ugly yellow over the page. yuck. I honestly tried to give it a chance but that's disguisting.

Now the real gross part.

I moved even further down passed other stuff until I came to the so called "rezound killer" the DROID incredible 4G lte. It seriously made me cringe a little inside. The screen is so small and not as wide as the rezounds. Another thing: its not even that thin. It's definitely thicker than an iphone though. I couldn't test the weight because of the security thing which was huge on this device. Definitely a smaller downgraded rezound.

And that is my little trip to the Verizon store.
[HTC Rezound] paul_viado:
FYI the droid inc4g isnt a "rezound killer" its not supposed to be. the inc4g is target more as a mid tier device not a high end like the rezound is. all versions of this inc has always been targeted as a mid tier device. hence the smaller screen smaller form factor.

its not suppose to be better than the rezound..if your looking for a follow up to the rezound supposedly a new htc phone for vzw just got benchmarked and it follows the model number of the rezound.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
what he said.

the inc 4g is actually a great phone, i've sold 3 within the past 24 hours already, and the people i sold them to LOVE it.

....plus, we make god damn BANK on the Inc 4g so i can guarantee reps are going to be pushing people into this phone like crazy. it's so cheap for stores to buy, and selling at 199 is a great price point. it's an awesome little phone, and if i could, i'd totally get one to run side by side with my Rez
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
The unlocked means there is a custom recovery. Fishy. Not an unlocked bl unfortunately.
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
I read that and decided to go to the house of a friend that had it. So after a little while of playing with it its actually pretty nice. I'm gonna be mad if they get aosp before us though....

Yeah that is fishy and considering most vzw reps know nothing about anything (excluding jayochs) I'm wondering if one of the smart employees played with it?
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
Gotta correct one thing - when the Og Inc lauched, it was a top spec phone, beaten only by its close brother the Evo in terms of screen size (but not resolution). The Inc was top tier, till VZ shoved their heads up their bums, and released crappy iterations there after.

Given the styling, i think the Rezound should have been the Inc 4G.. ah well, a rose by any other name...
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
nah, the rezound should've been the VIGOR! lol
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
This, but they never end up using the codename
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
how cool would the tbolt have been? HTC MECHA!
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
I think the HTC Ville (One S) and Pyramid (Sensation) were better than their real names and maybe the Leo (HD2) and Runnymede (Sensation XL)
[HTC Rezound] Po1soNNN:
You forgot the supersonic (EVO 4G). How badass would it be to have a phone called the HTC supersonic?
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
More badass than a tablet called Jetstream? :P
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Supersonic was one of the coolest code names.
[HTC Rezound] dogswind:
The nexus screen sucks, just as you experienced. Pretty much all the hardware on that phone was outdated at launch. I still don't understand it. I know for sure our screen, camera, and radios are better. Now the GS3, I would buy that in a heartbeat if I had an upgrade and could keep my plan.

I think I'll stick it out until the next nexus drops, though. If cm9 ever gets sorted out for us, the wait will be easy.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah nexus screen does suck lol and the camera is AWFUUUULLLLLLL

but i like my jellybean! lol
[HTC Rezound] dogswind:
Oh yeah. It is smooth as butter with JB. They really dropped the ball with the hardware. The GS3 should have been the Nexus branded phone. Let the crap hardware have TouchWiz. :mad:
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
why do you consider the dinc2 crap? I have 2 for the kids and the damn things just work. No custom anything and both after over a year are just as snappy as day 1.

Consider when they came out, lte wasn't mainstream, neither were dual core processors. Got a great little 4inch screen as well. Some people need to realize that not everyone wants a 1080p 5 inch screen on their smartphone... (I do of course, but we are the vocal minority)
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
Well, a year later, and the device has the same CPU, a weaker screen (OLED is nicer), less internal storage.. The droid x2 came out the same time and blew it away in performance. And the SII put it in its place badly in only a few months later. Nothing "Incredible" about it, unlike the original...
[HTC Rezound] antp121:
BAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA THE DX2 BLOWWWWSSS. I'd take a dinc 2 over my ol dx2 any FREAKING day! The dinc has a single core and 700mb ram but the processor is overclockable and it has full aosp roms. The dx2 has 2 cores and 512 mb of ram and it runs aosp roms with Backdoor patches and fixes. Hell, I'd take my old fascinate over that POS.
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
yeah the x2 was garbage lol i sold more incredible 2s than those pos's back last year.

Boooo... Hiss...
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Meh so I am almost excited about the HTC 1080p phablet rumor but, knowing that the s-off process will be like this one or worse. I might not even get it :-\ I also read something saying it might not even have sense 4 and I'm pretty sure it probably won't have jelly bean either. Sad day.
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
It'll probably run iOS. Better chance of seeing that than jelly bean. :p
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
More likely to have iOS 7 in fact :-P :p
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
From what I've heard its supposed to run newer version of sense I think I remember hearing sense 4.5 or 5. If it has to be the same way of s-off its fine with me wasn't hard at all so no big deal.

Sent from my Sense4 ICS Rezound
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
Yea if it's the same way it's not a big deal. But if they change it or make it newly impossible like it was for the rezound i'll more than likely pass... Then you know they will DRAG their feet, or be forced to, on updates and source releases. Verizon makes HTC suck their thumb and it sucks. HTC should put their foot down then Verizon will be left with moto (gag) and Samsung which can't make a call, if they wanted boot HTC.

Edit. Also for a 5inch 1080p screen it will need a 5k mah battery right? ;) If it's not a tablet, I wonder if they will use that LG display that's 1080p 5in with 440ppi. That would be SICK.
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
With that new processor I think it's gonna help conserve the battery and help distribute the power evenly throughout the phone. Only thing that I personally won't like to much is if it has the on screen keys. I would rather it have the 3 hardware buttons like the one series does. It just makes it easier if something in the software ever goes weird.

Sent from my Sense4 ICS Rezound
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
The software keys going weird is a non-issue. I've never had that problem on my GNex
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
How is 199 a great price for a mid tier phone? That's high end phone price. It should be more like 150 for a "midrange" device, and 99 or less on contract for a low end, or old device. I have not doubt it is a great phone, but I wouldn't buy it over the Rezound at the same price point. I mean the 4s iirc is 199 for like the 16 gb. And that buy everyone's measure is considered apples high end until the 5 comes out. I hate it, but we the android users are subsidizing those pos's.
[HTC Rezound] Slacker101:
Remember that nexus has been on, used, and abused basically 24/7 from a couple of days before launch. It's not a good indicator of the longevity of the phone. Most in store models over a couple months old have images burned into the screen. Go look at the RAZRs they are worse.

Sent from my tin can using a string.
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
Yea but onscreen keys are just a waste of screen space to me and touch screens in any case can have things go weird were the touch can be off and things of that nature and actual hardware keys would be more reliable in that regard plus actually using the whole screen instead of waisting part of it with keys is better to me especially on a 5" phone.

[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
What pisses me the most about those on screen buttons isn't the fact that they're using part of the screen that, well, they simply shouldn't but its that bar that should be filled by the capacitive buttons...its always still there!!! Un-used but there. So pointless.
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
The on screen buttons are a nice change of pace I think.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
I say stick with a blackberry if you find the onscreen keys repulsive

if I've helped in any way, don't be shy of that thanks button : )

http://www.speedtest.net/android/210112746.png
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I like onscreen buttons and new android seems to be gearing that way. What I don't like is that they leave more than enough space on the trim to have buttons, in which case they shouldn't use screen space for them. If a phone say the same physical size of the rezound had only the amount of trim around the sides of the screen on the top and bottom, then on screen keys would be sweet.

Edit- like if the screen was stretched to just under the camera or ear speaker and down to the top of the HTC logo
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
Well I'm glad you've no say on this then.
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
Yea I think if it didn't use the bar and just the actual buttons at the bottom of the screen kinda like how I have my icons here but still the the whole screen was visible then that would actually be cool.

Sent from my Sense 4 ICS Rezound
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
That would be cool right up until you open an app
[HTC Rezound] jayochs:
.....because it's $150 after rebate.
[HTC Rezound] platinumrims:
I thought 299 was high end price? And 199 was mid and 99 was low...
[HTC Rezound] LakerStar25:
I'm sure there would be a way that the buttons only showed up if certain apps needed them there and if the app didn't them then they wouldn't. Kinda like the way the status bar does with the little x that comes up when you need to clear a notification.

[HTC Rezound] 1454:
That started after the thunderbolt. The thunderbolt started at 249. Before that, iirc, high end was mostly 199 with the occasional 249(or 299 plus a 100 dollar rebate) thrown in for good measure. This was around the tp2 era. Pre that it wasn't uncommon for winmo devices to exceed the 300 mark. But the carriers had the most success selling in the 200 high end price point.
