So rather than sending back my Nexus 7, I decided to give something a try. I removed the back casing, which is very easy to do. I used a small flat screwdriver where the "leather" meets the plastic and gently wedged it in. The case popped right open and was easily removed. I then tightened all of the small phillips screws around the outside of the board on the back of the screen.

This immediately cleared up the creakiness and play that i was experiencing on the left side of the screen. I tightened all screws and not just the ones on the left side. Do this at your own risk, obviously, but this immediately rectified my issue!

7/22 update:

So on Friday, I noticed a slight creak returned. I removed the black strip of foam that has been discussed in this thread. Since Friday, with heavy use, no creak, no play, no screen rise :) I'll update again later in the week to confirm it hasn't returned.

8/02 update:

Since removing the sponge, the play in the screen and the creaks have not returned. I see others havent had as much luck with it but, for me, I can say it did the trick.

So the problem most of us have is cause ASUS didn't tighten some screws.. hahh
[Nexus 7 General] _MetalHead_:
Thanks for TOFTT!

When you snapped the case back on there was no evidence that you opened it?
[Nexus 7 General] jam10238:
Ha! It really sounds a lot worse than it is. Removing my Galaxy Nexus battery cover is almost as difficult!
[Nexus 7 General] laverdure#1:
Brave indeed! Tempted to do this since I have the same problem but 1) don't wanna wait 1h on hold trying to get an RMA and 2) who knows when I'd be getting a new one.

In case I try this, and it ends up not fixing the issue and I decide to send it back later, do you think Google would be able to tell that device has been opened and potentially refuse the exchange?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 General] neilrl79:
I might give this a try tonight after having an adult beverage to calm my nerves.
[Nexus 7 General] Pithism:
Thank you for doing it. I'll give it a go when I get home. Did you use a regular flat head or a plastic device friendly one?
[Nexus 7 General] jam10238:
I dont think so, there is absolutely ZERO warranty tape or anything that is standard on electronics these days. Its literally like a big battery cover. I can post a video shortly of the process.
[Nexus 7 General] jam10238:
Just a very small standard precision flat head. Fingernails may even work it was that simple.....
[Nexus 7 General] adamhlj:
Were the screws that you tightened noticeably loose?
[Nexus 7 General] jam10238:
There were absolutely 3 or 4 that were a half turn loose.
[Nexus 7 General] Pithism:
Videos or pictures would be clutch
[Nexus 7 General] jam10238:
You only need to do step 4 in this guide and thats it. If you look at the image for step 5 or 6 youll see one of the screws i tightened in the lower right corner of the picture.

I have the minimal screen yellowing issue on the right side of the screen. Do you think this could possibly solve my problem?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] DaleKaleD:
I'm going to bookmark this for now, but not worry about it as it stands.

I finally noticed just a thumbs size spot in the upper left that i could sometimes hear a LITTLE give, but that was in my quiet bedroom.

Otherwise it didn't feel like it was really having any give or separation.

So for now, I don't think I'll tempt fate, everything else seemed good in my build quality based on what some folks are reporting. Lightbleed I know from my old G2x, and got none, no discoloration or dead pixels that I could see. So given my luck I would tighten up this little almost not noticeable issue, and ... cause 2 more things to start acting up for no discernible reason at all.

Thanks though.
[Nexus 7 General] Pithism:
Just used my finger nail. Came off no problem. just don't have a screw driver that small at work.
[Nexus 7 General] jam10238:
Honestly, the teardown guide has better pictures than i could ever take. Once you pop the cover off, just gently give all exposed phillips screws around the outside a turn until tight. Dont force anything. Go the entire way around the outside then just pop the cover back on and power it back up.
[Nexus 7 General] Pithism:
Yea they are good pictures. I will look at those again. Really easy to do people

Is there a way to receive texts and respond to them on my N7 without using a new number? I think there may be some way to do it with Google Voice, but I'm not entirely sure. Help would be greatly appreciated, I don't like this new number thing.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] phoneman09:
Why don't you try tablet talk it pairs right up with your cell phone via Bluetooth or wifi. The best part is that you don't have to get a new number either.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Google Voice works fine (as long as you have a GV number).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] swiggins:
I'll check out tablet talk.

I could use Google Voice, but I don't want to have to give my Google Voice number out to everyone instead of the number everyone already has.

Thanks guys, I'll post back once I've tried this stuff.

EDIT: Tablet talk is great. Everyone that wants to text/call from their tablet should get this (granted that they don't use GV already).
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bobb_o:
Is there any free app that does what Tablet Talk does?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] seanhassars:
Mysms, but it's pretty unreliable
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] WrightOne86:
Just buy it with your $25 Google Play credit, haha
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] defnow:
I just did this. App works great!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] phoneman09:
That's awesome! It's my new favorite app.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] music_man185:
Try mighty text. I've been using it on my phone with my laptop. It's free, and you don't have to connect to WiFi or bluetooth
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] nickL0V3:
theres also DeskSMS from Koush that sends your texts to Google Talk. Doesnt use the extra battery that bluetooth would use
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Bobb_o:
I probably will but I'm trying to save as much as I can for stuff that I can't otherwise get for free.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lin013190:
Tablet talk is amazing
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tdrussell:
SyncSMS has been my choice for the last year or so, but i'm trying DeskSMS out.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] drblack2013:
You can also use the Facebook messenger app or Google+ messenger. Works just like texting.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] WinDroidGuy:
DeskSMS is good, but don't like having an extra app open to look at my SMS...works well on my laptops, easy to use etc

MySMS was hit or miss, UI is laggy and sometimes SMS wouldn't sync right away.

SyncSMS worked well when I tried the beta, but I didn't get around to purchasing the full version since I didn't use it a lot.

Going to check out TabletTalk later today, since I have been using my I/O N7 a lot lately :)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Ovrclck:
Thanks!!! And thank you Google credit hehe
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] armyboy11b:
I tried Google voice but could not figure it out lol

So I downloaded tablet talk the other day it works great ...the developer is coming with an update to fix the sizing issue with our tabs
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Leugi:
You simply cannot go wrong with Tablet Talk, it is the go-to app for everyone looking for that "text/talk from tablet" functionality.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] michaeljdaub:
going with tablet talk myself. its been amazing so far!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SportsFans:
Hello all, just updated my to ATT/ICS last week and thought this feature was to be included in the 4.0? After searching here for a bit I can't find any info. Wondering is there a way to do this with out rooting the phone or running a different launcher. TIA

Steve
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
that feature is available on Google's version of ICS, which is AOSP, but also in AOKP/CM9, I have AoCP from The Collective Team and I have full screen caller id, if you're running stock , well that's AT&T/Samsung's fault for not adding it to their dialer, you can try this app out and see if you like it, I don't think you need root for it or anything else. good luck :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SportsFans:
Hey thanks roloracer, this is kinda a no brainer Att Ics? Coming from a windows phone and boy that feature looks just great. Every day I'm getting closer to the ROOT of the matter. Thanks again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cforceleritas:
Related question, but backwards.

How would you disable this feature?

Looked through all the options I can find in CM9 (h0tw1r3, not the official CM9) and can't find anything about it.

I don't have contact pictures for 75% of my contacts, and the ones I do have are seemingly tiny images that look terrible on the Note full screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DAGr8:
the moment someone woudl sync with google .. there server saves the pics very samll so it woudl look bad for everyoneanyway.. thatfeature has been present on htc devices for a long time and i had a mod on my previous samsung phone rom to allow big pictures full res ,but you woudl have to NOT sync google contacts automaticallly and save them to vcard on your phone so you can reload the full res pictures , this issue has been on going since the first android device go look at google 's error reports youll see tht threads is thousands of pages ppl com:laugh::laugh::laugh:plaining .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ausmike:
@DAGr8*;

thanks for info ..........yes I was wondering , if there is a way to do this eg > lower the resolution of pic ( thus able to add bigger size for display on Ausoem note screen)

will that maybe solve this issue?

<< this feature was one of Major reasons why I went from ICS stock to another ROM from Xda forum>>

I find stock ICS from att =has several things lacking and a MAJOR DISSPOINTMENT

>> thanks in adnace > love your mods and work !

Cheers

I've cracked my screen and the phones battery doesn't last (I could get a new one lol) but I think its time to move on. My next device won't be a HTC maybe ill get a Samsung or LG. HTC has been good to me. Time to move on. -_-,

Have you confirmed the warranty has run out? When my brother sent in his Desire S for repair he was told that the warranty was 2 years. Not sure if it's just UK or not.
[HTC Desire S] djisgod:
yeah looking at the warrenty it says 2 years,but my phone got dropped a while back when the volume rocker got broken and the case got scratched.so i dont think id be covered anyway.

Actually i used your guide and things to try before sending for repair post lol thanks for that it saved my desire s last time i had a scare along those lines but turned out to be a messed up partition table.no such luck this time it is deceased :(

i think im just going to bite the bullet and buy an s3!(secretly fancied one anyway lol) just going to be pricey for a sim free one!
[HTC Desire S] bayusuputra:
I'm sure there's gonna be a way to revive this beautiful phone..

You said that your vol rocker doesn't work and it is out of warranty?

Why not follow some instructions in YouTube on how to open up your Desire S and clean some contacts, most of the time, it doesn't work because of accumulations of dirt, sweat (i know, gross :) ) or just bad contact, and usually it can be repaired easily at home. After that. you can try to fix the eMMC by following amidabuddha's guide, or try running an SD version of CM7.1..

Why don't you try that first? But you should go ahead and buy that SGS3.. But try revive this one. It's better to have two androids with you, right?

I'm sure there is a way. Desire S doesn't just give up there.

I'm sad and sorry to hear that, too, but I'm sure there will be a way..

I wish you the very best of luck, mate!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3v:
Hi,

I've just got Mine and I have got no sound whatsoever, the first thing I did when I switched it on was the 4.1.1 update. In settings>sounds>volume the sliders are half way up and key presses is ticked. I've plugged in the headphones that came with my sensation and there is also no sound. These headphones have the volume etc extra contact on so I'm not sure that is why no sound comes through them.

Edit:

Sound comes through the headphones, now

Any ideas?

Do not have that problem I would redownload the ROM and do a fresh install aka a a full wipe off all data that tis the first thing to do and see if fixes the problem.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] crash822:
It will work but not to the full potential that it has on TW based roms. I believe it will not speak back plus a few other bugs.

If you would like something like svoice but on an aosp rom then I'd suggest trying cm10 and using google now.

Alright I'm a little confused here. From what I can tell, everyone seems to indicate the Camera is working 100% - but it's still FC'ing for me. It opens fine, shows the live preview for about 2-3 seconds, then force closes.

My install procedure:

Latest CWM recovery (non-touch)

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Wide data/factory reset

Install AOKP (latest 07-16 build)

Install gapps (ics 04-29)

Reboot

Didn't touch a single setting in the ROM.

I've done this twice and the FC'ing persists.

Am I missing something, or could this be related to the fact that I have an I747M (Bell)?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jhvoorhies:
Yeah fb sucks for the most part, but with touchwiz, it syncs contact pics pretty much instantly.

On aokp, I just have tons of gray squares instead of the pics. I did a fresh install, and I still get the same thing happening.

Does the ktoonsez aosp kernel work better with this rom than the one that is included?

CNAM Name Caller id for Rogers

Great ROM....just one issue for me

Rogers exclusive in Canada "name caller id" has issues. When call is received from someone who is NOT listed in contacts, I still get NAME of the person calling but Name doesn't stick in LOG and only number shows afterwords.

It works fine in stock ROM.

Can that be fixed? I can commit 5/6 beers as I know its your time. :) Thanks
