Those are bulky as hell... make sure u try it before buying. I bought one for mt4g while back and returned it before getting in my car

Yeah that was my only prob on that battery+case combo huge n heavy ha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OlympusGod:
Is it even going to be possible to bypass the locked bootloader on the Verizon model so that it will have the same (or close to the same) amount of roms and development as the other version?

In other words, will the Verizon bootloader ever be FULLY unlocked through some method? Also, will the dev version be of any help to unlock the bootloader of the normal version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] digitalsynner85:
check the verizon SG3 custom development section, theres a thread going on thats going thru the process and their progress so far........right now as it stands, they're at a 90% unlock meaning they have access to bootloader partitions, so its close now and theres a huge bounty for whoever gets it unlocked (so far with all the goals being met its at 3200 bucks roughly)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] radiohead14:
any way to remove the above 3 completely? i'd greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me the exact files and location for the boot animations. i've also removed all the apps for backup assistant plus, yet it still shows up in my settings. i also can't find the apk for the vzw hotspot, so i could remove it. thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] radiohead14:
i've deleted the samsungani and bootani files in system/bin, which took care of the boot animations, but it left a black screen only instead of the older versions of android where deleting the bootanimation left the stock android logo. i also took out the samsung shutdown vid which was in system/media/video, but now shutdown seems to be a bit longer.

still can't find how to completely remove backup assist and hotspot tho. anyone?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
Is there some sort of FOTAkill app that will work generally for all devices which have OTA availability. I saw one over at the Xoom forums, but I am unsure whether it will work with say the Galaxy Nexus, for instance.
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
Seeing all the scary "My screen/speaker/mic/entire thing is broke" threads. I thought I might put mine out here.

It's fine. Rock solid 100%. Amazing External Speaker Quality. Plenty good enough for me. The frame is solid, doesn't pop or creak. The USB port, which is my favorite thing, clicks firmly and USB plugs don't wiggle or make me scared XD.

My screen is fine. No ghosting. No dead pixels. The lock and volume buttons are solid.

My ONLY COMPLAINT...Is that the screen lock/unlock sound is extremely quiet no matter what... >.>

I am sure that is just a software thing though.

So...Yeah. I am sure this is the normal amount of defects, just the whole thing is amplified because we are all spazzing and excited. XD

I love my Nexy. :3
[Nexus 7 General] defnow:

Perfect as well.
[Nexus 7 General] Itsfugginhot:
Raised left side in portrait. It seems the issue is related to heat.......wait for yours to heat up a little
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
I've gotten it very warm with gaming sessions, and sometimes when it charges. Let me go look at that spot.

.....

Nope! Just moved over to it, and check it out. It is just fine :3 Yay
[Nexus 7 General] seamonkey420:
No problems here either. This thing flies! Screen is amazing! :-)
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
woot

That is what my first impression was!

How is your battery life? I got 5 hours of screen time, with 2 days of total running time. That was charging it from 32% to full when I got it. I just got it down to 5% today, and it is finishing now. I am hoping to see at least 7 to 8 hours now.

Hopefully XD
[Nexus 7 General] BaronInkjet:
Only thing I find fault with is my compass needs calibrating. Otherwise OK. No serious sound tests yet, but I'm not planning on using it for music. Had a 2 hour skype conversation and it was ok. Same upside down "me" image as my GSII but that is a skype thing.
[Nexus 7 General] rex05:
Played with the Nexus for about 4hrs straight no issues so far to report here either...
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
With the Camera app from the Market, I was actually impressed at the quality. It is much better than I thought it was.
[Nexus 7 General] 916Kev:
Mine appears to be fine too.
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
Very good to hear! Like I said, I'm sure the amount of defects is pretty much the normal amount. We are just hyped and worried more.
[Nexus 7 General] NeoMagus:
Flawless here as well. And to think I told myself I would never buy another ASUS product again after my 201. It's a good thing I decided to call around Saturday and traded in my vita which was collecting dust. Walk in and all guy said he didn't even expect any in because nobody preordered.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
Mine appears fine too. No screen issues. Nothing broken. No strange sounds. Etc.
[Nexus 7 General] fr0st003:
Loving my Nexus 7 right next to my iPad 3, well now girl friends iPad 3. I also ordered from Google play and am fine with the service i received and a 25 gift card is awesome . It all seems perfect to me, now to get a nexus phone. Also I hope yo write so e software for this thing.
[Nexus 7 General] flintfirewalker:
Mine is 98% perfect. I really had no issue all day (very heavy use) until just now when I pressed the left corner and tried very hard to listen for a creak. And I heard a small creak. The screen does not seem to be raised, but there's a tiny creak. I am just wondering if it's me paranoid or this will become a bigger problem (is only my first day).
[Nexus 7 General] Itsfugginhot:
Unresponsive screen on left hand side. Raised left side in portrait mode the problem
[Nexus 7 General] Locklear308:
I've seen that a lot, so we know that is a basic issue. At least it's not 1000s of random things.
[Nexus 7 General] tory13579:
Mine is perfect as well. Tried to replicate issues people have been having with theirs and haven't been able too. When it came today I was at work, let's just say very little work got done :D
[Nexus 7 General] Jiggavolt:
No problems on my end, but I only got to play for about an hour before I made myself apply my XOSkin. Now I have to wait until tomorrow to use it /firstworldproblems
[Nexus 7 General] cwoggon:
I seem to have a similar issue. Doesn't appear to be raised compared to the bezel, but it does move when I push on it.

Overall, still satisfied - if this issue persists I'll request a replacement.
[Nexus 7 General] cwc3:
Screen Flicker issue: Set Brightness Lowest. Join WiFi network. Head to this forum in chrome and browse a few threads in 3+ tabs. Or a website with a decent amount of data and white background. I have only noticed this with my arrows going on/off in the WiFi icon. Also zoom out a bit and give the page a few refreshes.

Adhesive issue: Warm up your device by playing some games or a few nenamark 2 benchmarks. Press on the black trim, left side of your tablet ( portrait ). Press on the right side. Notice a difference? Notice a slight squish & very faint creak/click?

Dead pixel issue: Download & Run - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nll.deadpixel

Backlight issue: I reckn this won be purty obius

Time to pass the dutchie on the left hand side :D Sorry, that popped in my head when I read your post LOL
[Nexus 7 General] xopher.hunter:
Mine is 100% as well, I even bricked it twice and it was hot for a half hour with the boot logo on while waiting for the firmware to download. Still fine no creaking ghosting or raising.
[Nexus 7 General] aimfire72:
Mine is surprisingly perfect as well! Have had bad luck with Transformers and dead pixels, light bleeding, etc. but none of those issues at all on my Nexus 7!
[Nexus 7 General] CrazyPeter:
That's because 99% of the threads with people claiming to have problems are anti-Google viral posts. Apple have known some time about the Nexus7 coming, and have plenty of viral accounts on XDA and elsewhere all ready to go into overdrive.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Me either, and unlike my Acer A700 I sent back, this doesn't double as a stove or furnace :D
[Nexus 7 General] James-NC:
I guess am lucky as well. :) Everything is great about the one I received.No humps or noises in the screen and no flashing lights ect. Of course I might not just have noticed the little things since I was so happy to get my hands on it. :D
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Didn't have high expectations reading all the issues but knock on wood Staples bought unit has no issues. As a matter of fact, the free Transformers movie and YouTube HD look amazing on this screen but had to WIFI tether off of my Verizon HTC Thunderbolt LTE for the bandwidth. Turned off auto brightness and bumped it up to ~25%.
[Nexus 7 General] phositadc:
Add me to the list of peeps who seems to have a perfectly fine Nexus 7. Played with it for about 3 hours yesterday. Did not notice a raised screen, any left-side screen "squish," any dead pixels, any screen flicker, or any light bleed. I ran brightness at lowest, highest, and a few settings in between. Also ran brightness at auto. Looked pretty closely for dead pixels and light bleed.

Perhaps I'll notice something at some point, but so far it seems good. If I have to put the thing under a microscope and use it in totally unrealistic ways in order to find "a defect," I'm not sure if that even counts as "a defect" in my mind.
[Nexus 7 General] Bauxite:
Mine is perfect, no issues at all. My case comes today.
[Nexus 7 General] spencer88:
The left and right side of my screen is separating. I pressed them down last night and it lasted, but woke up this morning and it was separated again, and the device was turned off overnight. I'm waiting to talk to somebody at the Google Play support line, been on hold for almost 50 minutes now.
[Nexus 7 General] Mustang7302:
After playing with my N7 for about 8 hours last night, I have not found any defects at all. No dead pixels, no back light issues, no ghosting, no issues with the buttons, no glass separation issues, loud clear audio from the speaker, and a firm USB port.

My only complaint is the length of the USB cable they include with the AC charger, it is too short for the tablet to be useful while charging.
[Nexus 7 General] TonyHoyle:
Fantastic experience.. much faster than my TF101 (which I actually didn't expect.. that was no slouch) and an excellent experience all round.

Bonus.. it fits in my pocket!
[Nexus 7 General] tsupersonic:

[Nexus 7 General] BaconStep:
No defects here either. Ordered from Google play.
[Nexus 7 General] raqball:
I picked up one from Sam's Club and my Google pre-order arrived yesterday..

Both have the left side clicking sound..

Neither have screen separation issue..

Neither have dead pixels..

Neither have screen flicker..

Neither have back light issue..

Neither have sound issue..

Overall I am very pleased with the Nexus 7 and other than the left side clicking sound its rock solid, fast and smooth..
[Nexus 7 General] scrubber222:
If it's any consolation...

Received mine yesterday. Pre-order google play store.

Case is tight all the way around.

Screen looks great -- no dead pixels that I can see.

Screen is bright and saturated.

Performance is great -- blows the kindle fire out of the water.

No clicking, no warpage, nothing like that.

Sound isn't as loud as I'd like, but I'm also somewhat hard of hearing. On par with Kindle Fire (which is also pretty low on the volume IMHO).

So zero complaints really so far. Wish I'd ordered the 16 gig (what the hell was I thinking, especially with no SD card port).
[Nexus 7 General] Itsfugginhot:
Spongy left hand side with dead pixel. Wait times at Google far in excess of an hour.....then they tell you your issue will be "escalated" then don't update status.
[Nexus 7 General] terracode:
Solid and works well. Very fast. So far a happy camper.
[Nexus 7 General] blahblahyoutoo:
Left side slightly raised but no clicking sound.

Everything else is flawless so far so not going to bother with returning unless it gets worse.
[Nexus 7 General] Datsun.510:
Got mine from GameStop last Friday. I been playing with it since then and I'm happy to report that mine has no issues. No dead pixels, no separating screen, or any other problem that others are having. If I see any problem, I don't care how small, my Nexus 7 will be exchanged for another.
[Nexus 7 General] nooomoto:
Mine rocks.
[Nexus 7 General] californiarailroader:
Mine too, and it's WICKED fast too! The Tegra 3 helps, but they really did an outstanding job with the smoothness on Jelly Bean.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I was afraid to open the box yesterday after reading all the defect posts, but mine is perfect. I couldn't be happier.
[Nexus 7 General] trakz:
Just got mine exchanged at the retail store that i bought due to a few problems and the new one is working fine now.

Very happy :D
[Nexus 7 General] MaxCarnage:
This is what I have too. I have really debated whether or not I want to even bother calling Google about it because it is 100% functional/beautiful otherwise and I would MUCH rather have this issue than a dead pixel or something. My only concern would be not doing something and having it get worse later when I have fewer options for dealing with it.

Love the tablet. It's something, unlike my iPad, that I could actually see carrying around with me a lot of the time.

[Nexus 7 General] Shuzzaka:
I have a very slightly raised left side, almost unnoticeable. Doesn't seem to affect anything, touch response is still fine and all. I may just go ahead and keep it for a bit longer before I decide if I want to bother with an RMA. Anyone know how long of a window I have?

Mountstick!

I am using the same thing! Actually just Unlocked and Rooted. Messed up mu backups >.> Ugh. But it's 90% ok now.

Maybe I am just being nervous about rooting. But... I get these glitchy spots here and there, slightly bad hangs, and slowness.

Perhaps I am over worrying about rooting?

On a good note, mountstick works :3

[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
I know what you mean..lol

Op should add a poll to this thread. so people can see the complaints will always be overexaggerated. this is likely the largest android tablet release, aside from kindle fire(not a real android device out the box). so these complaints aren't nothing compared to how many sold total. based on some polls I've seen already, nexus 7 has easily sold more than transformer prime on its release.
[Nexus 7 General] mtfsandlin:
Mine is perfect. I love this thing so much! I can't wait to see the development on this thing in the coming months. :D
[Nexus 7 General] AufDerAutobahn:

I thought there was a slight bump in the left side but it seems to have gone... or I imagined it. Also my speaker quality is appauling for notifications, but videos and such seem fine.
[Nexus 7 General] EvilDeadFan:
I just picked mine up yesterday, and mine looks stunning! There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. NO rising screen, no discolourations, no ghosting,.. absolutely nothing and I've used it for 5 hours straight so far.

16GB, picked it up locally at Canadacomputers.com (retail store location).
[Nexus 7 General] revmra:
Mine is great as well. My son's is too. Very happy.
[Nexus 7 General] T-Slice:
Mine is from Play Store 8gb

Mine is perfect. I love it.

The complaint threads are getting a little annoying. We have heard about the few sporadic issues, they have been documented. The threads exist. If you have an issue, take it up with your vendor instead of repeating threads here. Get your proper Nexus so you can start enjoying like the rest of us. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] rcg8584:
Only minor issue I can see is the screen flicker when I have automatic brightness set. Otherwise the speaker is solid, no screen popping issues I can see. I have used my N7 for several hours, gaming, YouTube, etc, even when it warms up no major issues. This Nexus flies. BTW, I am loving Google Now. I need to port it to my SGS2 or wait for a rom to be released that works on my SGS2. :victory:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeherlev:
Hi.. I have got a 2cm crack in the left button corner of my sgs3 screen and i am looking for replacement.

The shops here in Denmark charges like $400 witch is 1/3 of the price for the phone.

Can I buy cheaper some where?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Search for screen replacement and buy it. Then follow this guide on how disassemble your gs3.

The guide is on YouTube called "Samsung galaxy s3 disassembly & assembly drop test repair".

It is very easy and a lot cheaper.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z3US911:
u need a lot of courage to do that...:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] circuit89:
Going to smaller phone repair shops could be cheaper. With popular phones such as the GS3, usually smaller repair centres keep a good amount of stock for spare parts.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeherlev:
I have found this :

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300741057324&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123

Can I buy that and use it?

I looks like I only have cracked the glass on top of the LCD. And NOT the LCD itself ?

The video for replace screen are showing the hole LCD including riband connectors. But in my case I only need the front glass.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] htcsnap93:
With an Iphone the glass and screen part are glued together. Keep that in mind.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] caveman999:
I just noticed that I lost the option to take pictures while recording video from the back camera, but am still able to take pictures while recording video from the front camera. I noticed this after I flashed a few ROMs, but restoring from a nandroid backup or even flashing back to stock with Odin does not work fix the problem. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] blue265:
If you turn stabilization on (anti shake) you lose the ability to take pics while recording video. You just have to turn anti shake off and then you should be good

[Epic 4G Accessories] iviyth0s:
I haven't had a chance to try a Trexcell (nor heard of one before), but before you do anything, check out my battery review thread in my signature to get an idea of what the extended battery market is like.

If you personally get the Trexcell, I'd love to get my hands on it to see where it stacks up. The more variety in my thread, the better for all of us.

Where is the Trexcell by the way, can you post a link to the one you're considering??
