[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blakedev:
I recently bought a new Skyrocket and after I installed an ICS leak and rooted it I lose 4G and MMS not long after I turn on the phone, and have to restart several times until I get lucky and it may work for about an hour or two.

So far going back to stock GB or even the official AT&T ICS hasn't fixed it. I read about the efs folder being corrupted but it still shows the correct IMEI so I doubt that that is the issue. My SIM card also works in my other phone and other SIM cards work in the Skyrocket. Right now instead of thirty reboots with no luck I can stay connected for about a half-hour until I need to reboot again. I am aware that other people have had similar issues but I see no definite solution that applies to my symptoms.

Also, I have noticed that if I disable data and reboot MMS will work fine until I try to use data again and then I'll get nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blakedev:
The problem seems to have automagically fixed itself not long after I posted. I'm still curious as to how it happened or if it happened to anyone else just in case it happens again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blakedev:
Perhaps I spoke too song. The phone worked fine until this afternoon. An additional thing I noticed however was that while listening to music the audio stops at the same time that the signal disappears. Perhaps the fault lies in the kernel?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blakedev:
I read into changing the APN from PTA. That didn't work either.

There has to be someone with the same problem.

I can't install third party application !?

I uninstalled every application and I can't install any application it says it's full and I need to delete a couple apps, but their's no application in my tablet...

Please help !

Is it possible that you could give us a bit more information here...? What do you have installed, how much memory do you have left, and what are you trying to install?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belig1234:
I have need for speed installed and that's about it! I've 12 gb left and I was trying to install a apk for amazon market. I thought it was the apk that was faulty, so I downloaded a random app on the internet and it says that I need to delete stuff..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redmonke255:
They don't install into your sd card, they install on your internal memory that's only about 5GB. Go to application settings and see if you can movie them to SD card.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Souai:
dunno if they've changed it but normally theres a 2gb partition for apps and 12gb for storage. check if your 2gb partition is full. google recently changed things so that there is no longer a file size limit on what can be installed into the 2gb partition. so if one of the apps you've installed is particularly naughty, it couldve dumped a lot of data into the 2gb partition.

normally i find that shutting down and booting devices up again fixes the issue.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redmonke255:
Ignore
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belig1234:
I've done a factory reset and the problem persist, I'll flash everything to stock and keeping you updated

Thank you anyway !
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
2 words. Incompatible App.

:P Maybe Amazon Market compatible. Try any other app. See if it installs
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belig1234:
I DO have 12 gigs left, so it's not because theirs too much things installed..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belig1234:
tried 5 apps
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
And?... Mind saying if it worked?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belig1234:
They didn't work, always get the same error message, but now I'm flashing everything to stock

Will see if it persist !

Edit: the problem is gone.. I guess it was an android 4.1 bug ?

Thanks everyone !
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnknownFearNG:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought all the N7's got the 4.1.1 update?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jimlarck:
Yes. They ship with stock Jellybean.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belig1234:
well it seems that mine was shipped with android 4.1 and now it's updated to android 4.1 .1
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:

Update on my case:

I got my replacement unit yesterday and the screen is great. However now I have a slightly bent border and the infamous clicking sound issue on the left side...

I contacted GameStop again and requested a replacement when their 2nd wave comes, which is early next week so I'll see if I can be lucky this time. GameStop cs has been great so far.

Also Asus saw this post and contacted me for details. It seems they are aware and are doing researches on these defects.

Anyone having their nexus 7 with screen burn in and washed out colors with super obvious backlight bleeding?

I got mine yesterday and everything was great but this issue all of a sudden appeared when i turned it on after i woke up today.

Gamestop will try to do a special replacement order for me.

Edit: added some shots to show how uneven the backlight is and also the burn in issues. There was no flash used to take the shots.
[Nexus 7 General] Bxsteez:
Yes!! I was just googling like crazy to find people that have the same issues. Its like one of those old screens where the backllight is illuminating the side of the screen. It is very strange and unpleasant.
[Nexus 7 General] jjjsong:
Add some photos in op
[Nexus 7 General] flipper2006:
not only is it burnt in and pale, but its also upside down
[Nexus 7 General] jjjsong:
lol my bad.

But it demonstrates the issues regardless.

the photos don't really show how washed out it looks. It's like having a semi transparent layer on top of the screen.
[Nexus 7 General] bmar29:
It will be interesting to see if those who ordered from the Play Store have the same issues. Maybe they were in different batches
[Nexus 7 General] Bxsteez:
Yes its really hard to capture with a camera but its definitely there. I found kicking up the brightness helps. The issue i was referring to might be intended so its easier to read in the dark.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Go look at threads from the G2x forum about screen bleed. Ridiculous amount of bickering over the same thing. If you don't like the product you got, exchange or return it. Not trying to stick it to the OP or anything, thanks for photos, just trying to kill this at the source before the N7 gets tainted with bad publicity because people didn't want to exchange. G2x's resale value plummeted because of issues like this being blown out of proportion, so it's in your best interest to bring the issue to light, let everyone know of any possible issues, then leave it up here for consideration if others have the same issue. Not make a 300 page thread about it comparing the extent of which you have the issues. It ended up as people taking countless photos and comparing them like a contest or something. I'm very sorry for anyone with this issue and i do hope you get it sorted out. For all I know mine will have the same issues.

Not trying to sweep anything under the rug, just trying to prevent the mass hysteria caused by this on the G2x.
[Nexus 7 General] biohazrd51:
From the arstechnica review:
[Nexus 7 General] dorkdotcom74:
What's your brightness set on. Too high will make it worse sometimes. Will also kill battery and overall screen life ( just like TVs) I say this because you also mentioned "washed out" look. This tends to happen when brightness is too high. (People do this on TVs too). High brightness is to help outdoor viewing, will actually make picture worse but people think it "pops" more. IF, this is the case try turning it down some You'll get use to it after a while. Mine at like 20% and I rarely have problems seeing screen. I do home theaters so take the advice knowing I'm not just spouting BS.
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
The one I picked up from Gamestop today hasn't exhibited this at all and thankfully no dead pixels either, I'd be pretty pissed honestly if it looked like that :(
[Nexus 7 General] jjjsong:
I already played around with brightness, it's all like that from the lowest to the highest brightness settings. It's super washed out with lights all bleeding from the sides and also areas in the middle. It's like the LCD panel can't block the lights out anymore.

Note that it was perfectly normal the day i got it. It only started happening today. So I know how it should look like...
[Nexus 7 General] ice0901:
Take it back. I have no light bleed at all. I think you got a lemon I would not accept light bleed in 4 corners, the center, burn in and washed out colors. I have none of your issues so take my advice and exchange it or if they have no more inventory return it and pick one up from another store
[Nexus 7 General] expertzero1:
Theres always a lemon for a device. Sorry that you got a poop one. Your replacement should be flawless?
[Nexus 7 General] mariachi202:
Wow, you must work for Google or something.

So what if a user gets angry at a corporation that doesn't give a f@#% amount of care of a little something called quality control. It's the 21st century and there are means by which end-users should be alerted of what they may eventually buy. The Galaxy Nexus screen issues were never mentioned anywhere but here, on xda. Even Samsung denied the issue and dubbed them as being "non-existent", so they thought they'd just swap out used phones, and now you have pissed off users who made 3-4-5 swaps already and their issues are still there.

Remember the iphone 4 reception issues and apple's reaction to them? And don't even let me even mention the ridiculous amount of epic memes that derived from it.

My point is that to prevent these things from happening, end users should get mad and spread the issues as wide as one can, so that eventually it reaches the upper levels of the company, so they can start doing something about it.

A positive example is Sony with their flagship Xperia S and it's screen issues. They admitted their fault and triggered an utter logistical nightmare to exchange or replace any faulty screen, although even they tried to "limit" it to one faulty batch.

So yes, blow these tiles of things out of proportion, because this is not a minor issue!
[Nexus 7 General] murrun:
lol.

if there is a common problem, everyone should know about this. samsung is still manufacturing ****ty hardware albeit this 300 page threads. look at the sgs3 section and see faulty screen posts. they are treating end users like beta testers.
[Nexus 7 General] ohhneill:
I was using mine all day yesterday and didn't notice that the screen was a little washed out till today, seems to have went away tho (or less noticeable now). I also have minor screen bleeds but from what I've read this is common with IPS displays.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Yeah, right, I work for Google... :rolleyes: Good detective work there.

Obviously you didn't read or understand my post.

What I'm saying is just because there are some defective units out there, doesn't mean you need to start writing hate mail to Google, Asus, and Obama. Every product has defective units, even with QA checks. I'm just hoping the N7 users will get warranty replacements instead of just whining and complaining for 6 months when they could have just called a freaking phone number and taken care of it.

And if the company is willing to replace the product, why would you blow it out of proportion? Companies can easily find excuses not to replace your product. THAT is when you need to blow issues out of proportion.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Every device has defective screens it seems like. Honestly, it might just be cheaper for them to piss off the 2% of users who actually read stuff here than change the manufacturing process. It sucks. It really does. It forces us who are actually bothered by it to exchange til we get a good one. Which can take a few tries sometimes. It's a bummer but that's what our profit-driven society has come to.
[Nexus 7 General] MrPhilo:
Mostly first batches have problems, not all off them are working properly. I don't see why everyone complaining, just get it exchanged, it is £200 or $200 tablet, they aren't gonna put a super expensive display on. The IPS is already good enough for its price, heck the Kindle Fire display is terrible compared to this and I hardly see they complain.

IPS Screen burn are only temporarily compared to Amoled, use 'Dead Pixel Test' in the market to get rid of it. The app flashes different colour screens and it'll eventually go away faster. Trust me, I've had this problem before but never complained. *cough*
[Nexus 7 General] Hemidroids:
Yet another reason Google wanted gamestop to not sell them. Google was aware of issues the first ones had and a recall was made to try to retrieve the first ones sent out to the retailers. Playstore ones should not have this issue.
[Nexus 7 General] mariachi202:
I read your post and understand it completely, don't worry. That's the least i can do.

What you can at least do is not to be inferior to stuff like these, and eventually companies will start to respond.

Your line of logic is analogous to : So what if Mattel used Chinese plastic in a batch of their toys and 100.000 children died of lead poisoning? It's not like the rest of the batch is poisonous, right?

And riiight, exchanges and replacements work just fine these days, am i right? First they need to validate the issue, then assess the problem, and most likely replace just the screen, leaving behind a damaged unit altogether, IF you' re lucky. How come the food industry (where a lot more variables exist) is near perfection (at least in Europe the standards are pretty high, this is why American milk and meat are forbidden there), and a process of machining a device is still crappy in the 21 century?

Short answer is your logic: So what if...?
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
Another day, and the trolling BS continues. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Right on the head. I want children to die. Awesome...

If you want to get noticed, organize something. This thread could grow to a million pages and I guarantee you, it will solve nothing. All it will do is breed more and more frustration and hatred.

It's a (mostly) free internet so carry on.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
You do realize that you will look like a big idiot when google play tablets show up with issues, right?
[Nexus 7 General] JaSauders:
*IF*

Never know, anything is possible.

At any rate, I think it's important users discuss these things so we can be aware of what issues exist... at which point, RMA it. No reason to badger Google unless they fail repeatedly to send you a unit that works without issue.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Bingo.
[Nexus 7 General] qpqpqp:
you work for google or something ? its their responsibility to take care or QC, not not the buyers to hide it. I think its great that we get people sharing defects, that way we as a community know what to look for and how to handle it.
[Nexus 7 General] vapotrini:
+1

To the OP, thanks for sharing... gonna wait a bit and see how this plays out before I purchase.
[Nexus 7 General] mariachi202:
I was referring to your apathy. Nobody wants children to die. I was speaking hyperbolically to make a point.

This is not about hatred. It's about our rights as consumers. You pay for a product/service and SHOULD expect nothing but the best, especially when that product/service is advertized to be the best thing the market has to offer, otherwise it's just a plain old deceit) whether it is about a tablet, a phone, a medical treatment or just some bread from a bakery.
[Nexus 7 General] pumacat311:
I received my tablet from the google I/o and I think it looks best when set on the highest brightness and would be quiet irritated if it looked like that when I turned it up..
[Nexus 7 General] mariachi202:
And you should be!
[Nexus 7 General] r.kim:
I just received my Nexus 7 a few hours ago (16GB, pre-ordered from Google Play). Everything was fine until the device restarted to install the Jellybean 4.1.1 update. Upon restart, the screen looked almost like the gamma got jacked way up - completely washed out and just about unusable. I've a couple photos but I'm unable to link them as of yet (not enough posts). I'll try for an exchange, though who knows when I'll be able to get through Google's support line.
[Nexus 7 General] erple2:
Ugh, I hate to post "me too", but "me too". I can't say that it happened just after the 4.1.1 update, as when the tablet turned on for the first time, it asked to download the 4.1.1 update almost immediately. You're exactly right - it's like the Gamma is up to MaxINT.

Turning down the brightness only makes it less bright, but still as washed out.
[Nexus 7 General] tgallant21:
Also having the same issue, screen needs time to "warm up" I've never seen anything like this before, washed out terribly and two minutes later the screen is crisp and clear.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
Regarding the ghosting. Mine was doing it at first, but after about half an hour it cleared up and I haven't seen it since.

At first my colors were also very washed out. What erple2 said sounds right, kinda looks a screen with the gamma set too high. At first it was really bad, but after a while it seemed to get better. Not as washed out as before, but it's still somewhat washed out and not quite satisfactory. I've only been using it for a few hours. Hopefully this settle in and look better tomorrow.
[Nexus 7 General] phoneaddict13:
Me too. Ordered from play store. Got it today.

I have to say the shipping packaging sucks. The boxes just feel banged around.

Great tablet so far, but yeah the screen definitely has some washed out views..
[Nexus 7 General] juaninamillion:
I got some screen bleeding on the one I got from the play store.... :-(
[Nexus 7 General] The Janitor Mop:
I'm not too surprised to see something like this. I've done thorough research on display technologies and cheap IPS displays tend to have above average problems with bleeding. A lot of people on monitor forums won't recommend any inexpensive IPS displays (even though they IPS>TN) because of this. Quite simply, there's no way they put a high quality IPS display in this device at this price point.
[Nexus 7 General] r.kim:
Odd, I left my screen on after you mentioned that and saw it getting gradually better over time. Never got as good as a unit without the issue though, but still, much much better than when the screen is "cold."

For reference, here's what the screen looks like on mine(sorry, can't actually link images yet):

[Nexus 7 General] :
got my tab 8gig from play store today. It has a line across the screen of either dead pixels or a crack in the digitizer. Other than that i loved it. But that really sucks trying return it . Google told me they email me return shipping label today send it back. still waiting.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
I'm worried this is starting to happen to mine. Twice now I've noticed that one row of pixels flickers (just flickers once on both occasions). And it seems to be about the same row as your row of dead pixels. I get the feeling my row of pixels is on the verge of dying. Someone else mentioned there's started out fine, started flickering like mine, then died like yours.
[Nexus 7 General] :
like that right out of the box 2
[Nexus 7 General] erple2:
Quick update

As a followup to my original posting. I have the 16 GB version, bought from the Play Store. I contacted Google (on hold for about an hour - I was doing something else so it didn't affect me much). I described the symptom (washed out screen, some ghosting like old CRTs used to do), and the tech immediately asked whether I had the 16 Gig version. I don't know if there's any correlation to this issue and the 16 gig versions. However, the fellow on the phone was very friendly, and has escalated the issue up the chain. Someone is supposed to get back with me within the week, then they'll overnight another Nexus 7 to me, and I put my defective one in the box they send me with return shipping address..

Painless (except for the initial disappointment that I only got to play around with it for an hour or so).

You can also talk with ASUS if you want. They'll also handle the RMA if you want to go that route (their tech support answered much faster, though the phone tree was a bit confusing - just follow the numbers to the EE Pad).

I'll post one last time with the result of this issue, probably by the end of the week.
[Nexus 7 General] Gigamaster89:
Got the 8GB one, updated it via OTA and same problem. Screen burn in (likely software) and completely washed out.
[Nexus 7 General] TrendyGuy9:
I got a 8gb Nexus yesterday. My brightness is around 25% and I am getting the burn-in/image retention issue. It is happening very frequently too.

Has anyone gotten any official response from Google or Asus?
[Nexus 7 General] Stuphologist:
Sidebar about QC

QC is a cost. You pay for it in design, you pay for it in materials, you pay for it in manufacturing (both tooling and process), you pay for it in testing, and you pay for it in returns and bad press. Google paid for it in design and materials, for sure, and Asus had incentive to ensure that their tooling and process were at least adequate. In the end they had to decide where to set the balance for QC in manufacturing and testing against potential return rates, so as to meet their price point.

The fact is that there are going to be defective units, there always are. If you got one, send it back. You're not hurting anyone's feelings at Google or Asus, and your annoyance, however justified it may (truly!) be to you, has already been taken into account. (I feel like I'm jinxing myself saying that....)

Bad press (about defects) they don't seem concerned about, at least they haven't said anything about it officially. And I think they're right. The value/performance story is very strong, and they're pretty confident that the vast majority of units will be fine - which they are. There's even some good news in that the defects that are cropping up seem to be clustering. Heck, the pre-order fiasco may even be working in Google's favor in this one regard by swamping any discussion of defects.

I'm not a Google fanboy, nor an employee, and by way of proof let me say that I'm very annoyed about my pre-order not arriving. They deserve to be smacked over that, not because I'm annoyed but because Amazon always gets pre-orders out for delivery on the generally-available day or a smidge before. Not days/weeks later. This makes Google look like poseurs, chumps, amateurs when they're very deliberately setting up a comparison with that very same Amazon. They wanted that story to be about how the N7 stomped the Fire, but instead it's about how Google can't find it's collective ass with both hands and a map, as far as shipping physical product is concerned.
