I think I just fixed mine doing this.

Holding the tablet from the side you could see the screen slightly raised compared to the other side. Nice.

Loose screen and audio issues.

I got mine from radio shack online over 2 week sago 32 GB model CA0 (new batch same problems it seems). I am one of the special lucky few I have seen with the screen issues on the 32GB model. Good to know they knocked out all the screen problems before releasing the 32 GB model huh? Screen is now loose, squishy, clacking, and get the LCD rainbow effect that one gets pushing on a LCD monitor if I hold it with any sort of slightly firm pressure. This issue is on the right side, not the common left side. Was not real bothered to be honest but now I am also getting some weird click and pops with the audio randomly. Will be returning it tomorrow sadly, and worst part is I got a deal on it $20 off and is only available online through radio shack.

Thought I'll just point out for those who are unaware, there are known bugs with 4.2 which causes the following issues.

Bluetooth reportedly does not work but I tested it on mine and works fine.

Battery drain as well as long charge times

No December month in calendar or contacts

Screen brightness issues / flickering / auto adjusts constantly

I purchased a 32GB CA0 model from Staples this morning and it had screen lift on the left side. Just got back from returning it :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prophetian:
Hi guys,

Yesterday I bought a Nexus 32gb in Fnac, and I realized that with the screen off the light of a close reading lamp is reflected in it and because of this I can see a dotted line and "squares" in the screen (I suppose it's the tactile panel)

The weirdest thing is after seeing the dotted line with the screen off, when I turn it on with the highest bright and a white background I keep on seeing those points

Would you be so kind as to check this?

Thanks for all.

I got my wife an 8GB N7 from Staples for $160. It has some screen lift. Do I have an option to get support through Google? I really don't want to take it back to Staples, because I know they'd make me get a 16GB, as this was their last 8GB. Any ideas? Any harm in just using it with some screen lift?

I have the screen flicker when auto is on and also the problem powering on after power off. Have only had one random reboot might exchange it monday for another

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plbelanger:
But would they give you the 16gb for free since the 8gb is no longer made? If so, I'd just go that route if it was me. I'd call and see.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janedoesmith:
Here is mine timed using an analog stopwatch with the N7 powered down:

Power button needed to be held pushed in for approximately 4 sec for the "Google" screen to come on.

From the "Google" screen to the lock screen, it required approximately 31 sec.

Total boot time = approximately 35 sec.

Mine has 4 defects:

1. Screen lifting on the right side (Not very important)

2. Screen flickering (SOLVED with scotch tape and some patience)

3. Annoying clacking plastic (I think it is when I opened my Nexus to solve issue number 2)

C90 Nexus 7 bought on worten. (Spanish shop) Sorry for my bad english
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kazunorikobo:
I don't know if it's a defect or I'm just being silly, but when I lay it horizontally and gently shake to the sides, I feel that something inside it is loose.When I opened it, I found out that it is the battery that is loose.

I have never seen any issue like this one(neither on other devices nor on other Nexus 7), anyone knows if I should get worried about it?Will it damage the battery or other internals?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elaba:
I got my nexus 32gb 4 days ago, checked the screen right away. It has a thin line wich is a little brighter. Starts on the upper right corner and fades down to normal in about 3 cm. Its just on the edge and isn't noticeble, unless there is black around it like a black bar where the clock is. After a bit of use, the screen got full of fingerprints and showed 2 large circles in the middle, like traces of a sucking tool for assembling the screen. Luckely they dissapeared when i applied a screenprotector yesterday. There is one more thing i noticed but don't know if its the nexus 7, when i connected to a pc and transferred files .The pc always freezed in the kopying process, or it was kopying very slow. Like a folder with a lot of pictures. As soon as i disconnnect the nexus 7 , the pc comes back to life. Any ideas? Perhaps bad memory?

Think my touch screen may be faulty. Every now and again it goes into ghost mode and takes on a life of its own or becomes unresponsive. Getting it to do it when I'm in the shop I bought it from is impossible of course.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PissPot:
Same thing happened to be, it's as tho an invisible hand is tapping on the screen making it near impossible to do anything even reboot the device.

I took it back to the store, showed then a YouTube clip and explained the situation and ended up getting a new one.

Since then it's been working like a treat, not even the know bugs in 4.2
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalanik:
After update to 4.2, mine started closing apps without any warning. The apps would just close. Some would start on new run, some not. Then it started rebooting, and in the end failing to boot at all, getting stuck on loading screen animation. Tried hard reseting 3-4 times, and it went to be repaired/replaced. I hate the law here in Czech Republic, they have like 30 days to "process" your warranty... cheap & lazy bastards, instead replacing it immediately... well, what can you expect from east-european country.... :(

Really happy with my 7, until I found out after the two week waiting period from Wallmart that my earphone jack does not work. Asus will fix it for free plus I have a 2 year warranty from Wallmart, so I can drop it and get it replaced. Don't want to let it go. So I will buy the 32 gig, fix this one and give to my wife....:D

Just received a new 3G from Play and the gyroscope is messed up on it. Will only rotate when tilted at a specific angle...pretty much vertical. Really odd.

I'm on my second one from WalMart.

The first one had issues a couple days after I had it. It seemed to lag to the point of being unresponsive and unusable. I was able to flash CM10 and it worked great for about a week and a half. Then it lagged again and finally shut off and wouldn't power back on.

The exchange through WalMart was pretty painless. That said, if this one dies I'll be looking for a different tablet/device. I really hope that it doesn't. I'm quite fond of it.

Just bought a 16GB CA0K from Staples and if you press down on the top left side of the screen it will actually cause the LCD discolor like on computer monitors with matte screens (or cheap glass fronts). This is my dad's and he doesn't really care, but I'm pretty disappointed that there are still problems since I returned the 2 I bought the first month of release.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawlbringer:
First 2 I got from Staples had issues. They were both 32GB units, the first with 12+ dead pixels and the second with pretty bad backlight bleed on the lower left.

I got a third at a different Staples, 16gb model, and it had no issues. The only thing I noticed about it is it a makes a creak/flex noise if I hold it in landscape mode gently push into the lower back. I'm not sure if this is normal or if something inside is loose. Not really a big deal, but sort of annoying since it makes it feel cheap.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THHTYCC:
I bought mine two weeks ago (32GB wifi c90) and the only problem I have with it is an extremely small screen lift on the middle left side where it seems to make a low creaking noise if I press it between my fingers (harder than I normally would). Other edges and corners of the screen do not have this noise and feel absolutely solid.

Bought it from Futureshop (Canada).

I meant to quote you but thanked you accidentally, not that I agree 100% with you.

But I've got to say, I returned mine yesterday because of some backlight bleed + screen lift...I would have gotten another one but there were none in the store, this was my first N7 and I just hope I can find a good one with no defects when there's availability.

I just saw a 32GB 3G model bought by one of my colleagues, it seemed to me that the screen was a bit better (better color reproduction) and there was absolutely no screen lift on any side (i've seen about 8 Nexus 7, 2 of them I exchanged them myself, and they all had screen lift). Maybe they improved QC for this model.

Not had a lot of luck with 3g model. Previously had 16gb which is perfect but I am on 3rd 3g that still has issues.

1st had a very yellow screen cast

2nd had stuck pixel

3rd shows faint horizontal lines when viewed from anything other than straight ahead.

All 3 are not as bright as my 16gb.

As I have to go through Google returns procedure each time I am about to admit defeat and stick with the current one with the horizontal line issue. Trying to convince myself its not that bad and that it may go away, also worried I may end up with something else wrong next time.

Not impressed.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaMMaN84:
Are your horizontal lines like these (hxxps://dl.dropbox.com/u/14650465/Foto%2011-12-12%2021%2031%2034.jpg) ?

I have these lines on my display and I don't know if they are normal. The lines rotate when i rotate the Nexus and are not in all the menù, but only when the display have grey background like in the Settings.

Can you all tell me if you think it is a hardware or software problem? I have a Nexus 7 3G...

PS: sorry for my bad english... :P
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NK0d3R:
That seem to be a software issue. It honestly looks like a 32 bit image that has been reduced to 16 bit per pixel (a compressed texture maybe?). In 32 bpp, that gray vertical gradient would have been seamless, in 16 bpp you get those artifacts due to insufficient precision to represent color. Probably somebody messed something up in the GUI department. That seems easy to fix via an update.

After the half charge of the out of the box, ther's no more charge even with other charger even 24 hours later. Charge then is still 0% and not only on screen but when unplugged, the nexus stop.

This one work only when put on charging, not very usable for a mobile device!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THHTYCC:
I've 'discovered' a couple of other problems with my tablet after a few more weeks of use:

-I can now confirm that if I place my N7 on a flat surface, multiple simultaneous touches on the screen 'flicker' on and off as seen in youtube videos. When I hold it in my hands, it seems to register multiple simultaneous touches just fine. I found this out while using a piano app with the N7 on a desk and testing with a multitouch testing app to confirm.

-Screen slightly flickers at rare random times on lower brightness settings. I've only seen it thus far while on a predominantly white website in Firefox Beta and on the main home screen where my wallpaper seemed to flicker a little after waking up my N7 (about 10 seconds after it had 'fully' woken).

I've researched these problems on the net and it seems like a bunch of people have the same issues (either noticing from regular use or testing it themselves to confirm other people's explanations).

Concrete info is hard to come by as it also seems like most people with N7s either don't notice these problems, haven't even tried to test their N7s for these problems (or are incapable of doing so thoroughly), or they ACTUALLY 100% DON'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS AT ALL.

So I was wondering, is there anyone here who has actually thoroughly tested their N7s for these problems and found none of them on their devices or are these problems just 'normal' hardware manufacturing problems that the N7 has (specifically, the multitouch problem)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HyoRin:
The exact same thing started happening to me after two days of minor usage (I also experienced ghosting, I didn't experience any flickers of the sort though) so I just took it back to best buy. The person behind the customer service counter started testing the tablet and what do you know? It started spazzing out on her. Anyhow, they exchanged my tablet without asking any questions and I've been fine for the past 2 days.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snarlytaz:
Interesting on my 32. Weeks ago with new device I started with some light bleed and sort of yellow screen. WiFi screen flicker pretty bad.

Took off cover to check screws for light bleed. Just slightly loosened and bleed is a bit less. But more. When I replaced cover and booted up the yellow pretty much gone. And WiFi flicker gone.

Today checked screws to see they weren't loosening on their own. They are OK. But cover on and bootup the yellow was back and bad WiFi flicker.

Took cover off. Gently slightly pry lifted contact points on device where they contact cover. Cover back on and boot up...

Huge difference. Yellow gone. WiFi flicker gone. WiFi even seems faster now in low signal areas.

Maybe its a contact point to the cover not quite making it that can cause issues?

It's working flawlessly. Of course that I have to understand that it's a 300€ tablet and so I am very satisified with it, this said I'm taking very good care of it.

If I start pushing its back ofcourse I can hear some weird sounds cause the back plate is plastic.

So if it's so cheap they must cut the quality somewhere.

I got my 32GB Nexus 7 from Future shop in Vancouver.

No screen lift, terrible Bluetooth audio performance and really washed out screen. Colours are really dull and video looks even worse. All movies look like they were made in the 80's colours are so faded and washed out, whites are yellow/dark and blues are washed out. It's worse on auto or lowest brightness levels. And there is a shift in contrast when I move a few degrees off axis, either up or down and in landscape and portrait.

There is also some crackling from the headphone jack, I found this out because Bluetooth skips so much with my Bluetooth speaker I had to plug it in.

The screen is what bothers me, is this what I should expect from this screen? Is there any point in returning it and risking getting another with more problems?

Is anyone happy with their screen?
