32Gb Wifi version received it the 18th. No screen issues like lift or flicker runs awesome. Best tablet I've ever owned. I have yet to root it.

Keeping it stock for a bit then will root.:good:
[Nexus 7 General] Shootoo:
Same. I got mine at Walmart about a month ago. It's great! I don't even have an urge to root it...

Yet

I have had mine for about six months and I have not had any issues with my Nexus 7. Best tablet I have ever had.
[Nexus 7 General] kevinyatesch:
no problems here with 2 nexus 7s

Yeah same here... Bought two back in September...no problems with either of them.. I would reccomend anyone flash paranoid android though as we have both found them running even smoother with this ROM. Also if anyone is gonna be using it as a media player the eq options are awesome once rooted.

I think its like anything.... There's always gonna be a couple that don't function as they should and obviously people are gonna put it online.

I used to work for comet and always reccomended the nexus over iPads... I am a nexus addict!!!!

My 32gb nexus is perfect. No screen lift, no light bleed.

Very happy wi h it
[Nexus 7 General] VaderSKN:
100% working Wifi 32 gb here! Also, it shows 6 more wifi connections than One X. Strange :rolleyes:

Just got mine today and boy is it flawless so far. It is the 32gb wifi model.

I got mine at launch, and it's worked fine since day 1.

Zero problems I absolutely love this device.

My 16 had to be returned twice, but the third was the charm. I also bought a 32 a week ago (C9O) and have had no problems.
[Nexus 7 General] BretonGirl:
I got my 32GB WiFi for Christmas. No idea where it was bought or if it's a C90 or whatever (how do you find out?) but it's perfect. So glad I found this thread. The "screen cracks easily" thread had me really worried.

Picked up two 16gb Nexus 7's for my kids for Christmas and both are perfect. No issues at all.

[Nexus 7 General] zPacKRat:
picked up a 16gig for my daughter for Christmas, failed to charge and would just show static when plugged in, removed back cover and found the battery plug no secured into the socked, plugged it back in and all was fine, except for the screen lift. exchanged it and bought myself a 32gig, which had screen lift. Exchanged the 32gig and got a good one, daughter opened her 16gig on Xmas to find it would not power on, used a guitar pick and carefully opened it and found the battery plug in the same state as the first one. needless to say both hers and mine are fine, no screen lift or looseness on the left side, good/decent color and no creaking. So at the end of the day I would say Asus needs to improve their manufacturing & qa processes.

BTW, I love my N7!
[Nexus 7 General] Warrior1975:
That really is terrible QC. At least you have two working devices now.
[Nexus 7 General] osugsxr:
Since xmas was wife s gift, I've been using it since then. Stock and no issues, solid device for browsing and media use.
[Nexus 7 General] damagedgoods:
I had my N7 C90 16Gb for a couple a months before it developed a fatal screen error.

Admittedly, this may have something to do with the fact that I got horribly drunk on cheap rum and dropped it screen first onto a metal desk leg.

Apparently, they don't like that.

Neither do I. I cried.

[Nexus 7 General] CatThief:
I've had mine for one week. It's the 32gb wifi model that I promptly updated to 4.2.1, unlocked, then rooted. So far there are no issues whatsoever. I'm feeling really lucky after reading about all of the loose screen and backlight bleed issues. Wouldn't trade it for anything! At least not yet ;)
[Nexus 7 General] cadcat:
!

My wife has a 16Gb, and I have a 32Gb. Bought both of these in the U.K. as it's difficult to get them here (South Africa).

Absolutely Zero problems with both devices, except for shooting myself in the foot from time to time installing all kinds of stuff from XDA.

More fun than the proverbial barrelfull of monkeys. You gotta get one of these!
[Nexus 7 General] Dark Jedi:
I think its the same with every device. Some are going to have issues. We can just hope that we are the ones that can avoid the issues. I have had mine for a month now and still going great. No lift nothing.
[Nexus 7 General] danomat1073:
My nexus 7 works flawlessly
[Nexus 7 General] Duce HD2:
Bought it yesterday and everything is perfect. I did read around of people having speaker issues on some devices, not here.
[Nexus 7 General] spacemanvt:
I gotta say i had many problems with the 2 nexus 7s i had. c70 and c80 rev, i have recieved a new CA0K rev and the problems i had with screen flickering, dead spots, and a low speaker all gone.

i am surprised how loud the speaker is now. guess they fixed a few things
[Nexus 7 General] nickriley:
2+ months of using, flashing, testing.. everything is working flawlessly.. no hardware issues, no software issues.. even though it depends which ROM's you're using, have tried many till now, all worked nice..
[Nexus 7 General] kwabby:
I own my N7 for two months now, no hardware issues at all, but since I updated to 4.2.1, I get random reboots, it's still stock, my N4 on the other hand has been a chomp, it's been running for 16 days without a reboot.

Is there a way to re-install the stock ROM without root?

Nexus 4 & 7
[Nexus 7 General] KiljoyMcCoy:
I have had no problems on 2 32GB versions. Have tried many ROMs. I even have no issues with 4.2.

Now I did have a problem with daughter taking one of them for a walk like a dog using the USB cable as leash. That one's screen didn't survive the walk.
[Nexus 7 General] jj03:
Nothing wrong with my 32 gig nexus 7. Works like a dream,

But then it is only 3 days old.
[Nexus 7 General] pengueen:
Just picked up a CA0 32GB WiFi at staples last night. I don't seem to have any issues with screen lift or light bleeding, but my device does have the issue where it doesn't correctly register flicks. They work correctly maybe 75-90% of the time but the issue can get really annoying.

For instance:

Scrolling down the list of forums on the xda app is not normal. When the device correctly registers a flick, the list scrolls with momentum (keeps scrolling after I lift my finger). On my phone each successive flick makes the list scroll faster. When the N7 doesn't register a flick the scrolling just stops abruptly. The issue is present in all apps I've tested including the launcher. This means home screens don't always switch correctly.

Sorry for the long description, but I wanted to describe accurately to help others recognize the issue.

Tl;dr... I'm picky about my tech lol
[Nexus 7 General] hazwheel:
Got my 32GB N7 on Xmas day, brilliant. It literally has not been out of arms reach since I got it, even at work! The serial # on mine starts with C90, so I'm guessing that means I have a C90 version?
[Nexus 7 General] knuckles1978:
Delivered today. Unlocked, rooted, custom recovery done in about 20 minutes. Spent nearly a day with it now and i gotta say I'm loving the n7, great device. No hardware or software issues at all, and mine must have been an older one because it came on 412.

Charging is a hell of a lot slower than I'm used to with my i9000 on fast charge though, that's the only little thing.
[Nexus 7 General] hazwheel:
Yes, but the charge lasts forever :) and mine came with 4.1.2 too but updated itself within minutes of first boot and setup
[Nexus 7 General] Slender Troll:
Had mine since a few days before Christmas. Updated to 4.2.1. Unlocked/rooted it and the only problem I have had is a stuck pixel, which is something I can live with. Other than that, no issues at all.
[Nexus 7 General] Capa1970:
Mine was problem free for about 6 weeks until today. :(

It wouldnt start. I finally held the power on button for close to a minute and it started. However, even when not fully powered off it is taking several clicks of that button for it to respond. I am seriously worried.
[Nexus 7 General] knuckles1978:
If that happened to me I'd be tempted to pop the back cover off, and disconnect/leave for ten minutes/reconnect the battery to give it a real cold boot, and see if that helped. That's a problem with sealed battery devices these days.
[Nexus 7 General] Benjamin1966:
I think everyone here has NO problems..

I

You should read all the issues here a positive not negative. Owners come here to make the device better and share things for the benefit everyone. I think if everyone would start posting how great the device is, it would exponentially increase the size of the forum.

99% problems are solved & 99% of the problems are avoided because they were brought to attention of others before it happened. Read past the first page and you see how ev1 is thankful for the forum and problem solved.
[Nexus 7 General] o muerte:
I haven't had any physical screen problems at all - some weird low-contrast issues, but all of that goes away if I use "tegra prism toggle" or the tegra backlight option in franco's kernel app.

[Nexus 7 General] miken22:
I just got mine a few days ago as I'm looking to really get involved in android app development and I absolutely love it. Battery life is great, it ran over 12 hours on almost constantly with ebooks on, is extremely fast, and you have a lot of control over the device. It's great since it's essentially all ready to go as soon as you open it up (and give it a charge).
[Nexus 7 General] pdrhound:
superb

No issues after 6 months

Even the negatives have been fixed with upgrades. Home screen will portrait. Media importer allows unlimited storage options. I use mine for work, business, and organization. Does more than I could have hoped.

Time savings have been substantial. Best 200 bucks I ever spent. Get bluetec cover and a screen protector, don't drop it or bend it. It is not a cell phone so don't abuse it like one.
[Nexus 7 General] Winesnob:
Activated my wife's on Christmas, OTA'd to 4.2.1 and it runs beautifully. Nothing but butter, and that display looks good.
[Nexus 7 General] Gulfcoastowl:
I like it

Had it for more than 2 months without a problem. I use it a lot too.:good:
[Nexus 7 General] Adinaky:
This is a great device, maybe one of the best tablets. I got it for Christmas, I haven't had any problems yet and I think I won't. Best choice for a tablet, don't hesitate.
[Nexus 7 General] Patriotic Bound:
I have a16GB Nexus 7 with Nexus Media Importer, OTG cable, card reader and more SD cards than I know what to do with. I have had no problems at all. I play movies, music, and open all sorts of files from the SD cards. This tablet is awesome. I haven't found much it can't do, at least with a little bit of work. Who cares if it only has 16 GB internal storage.
[Nexus 7 General] berardi:
No issues whatsoever here.
[Nexus 7 General] itslels:
I originally stated I had no problems with mine. But today I noticed slight screen lift on the left side of my n7. Exchanged it and this one seems fine so far

No problems here, aside from not being able to do the OTA update out of the box.

Got the the 32gb wifi N7 and its bad ass best 7in tablet that you can buy right now I've had mine for a month I use everyday and its a flawless device
[Nexus 7 General] fluxthesky:
Got my N7 32 GB WiFi only, no problems so far besides a freeze I got, nothing big just a small few seconds freeze.

But it lags a bit, somethings the notification bars don't drop down smoothly, other times it's fast.

Also, reading documents on this thing lags quite a lot. Anyone know how to fix this? Documents in mind are .doc, .pdf and the likes.
[Nexus 7 General] puzzlepiece:
I also have not had any problems either. I got mine about a few weeks after they came out. It was the best $268 I have spent in many years. I actually was going to buy a kindle fire that faithful day at Walmart. They had just put this nexus 7 on the shelf. The cashier didn't even know the price yet. It caught my eye and I asked how much and I grabbed it up. Since then It has been bricked twice and soft bricked once all due to my tinkering and curiosity and each time I breathed life back in it. This is a power house of a tablet it can't be killed lol. I love it and would recommend it to beginners and anyone else that enjoys learning new things.
[Nexus 7 General] hyperxguy:
I've been playing with multiple tablets (GTab, Nook Color, TF101 and N7).

Out of the box, I have absolutely no issue with the two N7s for almost 6 months, from HW to SW.

They're just so sweet. The best GPS navigators, best Ebook reader.

All the other tablets are still work-in-progress.

For Video and web, the TF101 is better (bigger screen, better colors). But 10" isn't as portable.

I've played with my Bro's N10 and it's the best 10incher.

I would be jealous if my bro had a 10 inches....giggity? Anyhoo.I have not had one problem with my N7. Love it. Finally settled on a good ROM kernel combo. In gadget heaven.

peace and happy new year
[Nexus 7 General] NoLucaNo:
Mine has been great since Christmas! Only have noticed slow charging which doesn't bother me too much :)
[Nexus 7 General] Slender Troll:
Same here. It is almost starting to become an issue with mine because I am a very heavy user when it comes to phones/tablets, and the charging cord isn't long enough to use when I am away from my bed (outlet right next to my pillow), so I have to use a USB extension to charge.
[Nexus 7 General] IRX120:
Have had no issues other than the limited 8gb of storage, noticed slight lag, but that's cause I only have 200mb free

Just picked up my new 32Gb model this morning following my tragic screen smashing accident. So far all seems well. Joy.

Happy new year XDAers.
[Nexus 7 General] jporter396:
Got it for Xmas and replaced with new one as first one had screen lift . happy now
[Nexus 7 General] 4rz0:
No problems with this 8GB one:

Battery is good, no creaking or gaps in the body, bleeding is not noticeable.

Unfortunately its not mine xD
[Nexus 7 General] Dudeness80:
I'm on my 2nd N7 now and haven't had problems with either one. I just upgraded from 16gb to the 32gb. The only thing that has bothered me is on the first N7, if I was reading something in landscape, the screen would flash to portrait and back to landscape sometimes (or vice versa, I can't remember). This only happened near the end and I think it had something to do with either a particular download or a mixing of apps/launchers that didn't agree with one another.
[Nexus 7 General] Nyobie:
Only one weird issue here. If I power off my N7, powering it up can be difficult. My fix: don't power it off! :-/

I'm not sure why this problem happens. Screen on/off works fine using the same button.

One known 'feature' I noticed this week - can't view jpeg attachments in email. Many internet complaints exist on this issue and apparently it's not just an N7 issue. Cell phones have the same reported issue. I found a workaround I'd be happy to share if interested. Just didn't wanna hijack this thread.

All else is flawless.
[Nexus 7 General] GedBlake:
There do seem to an extraordinary number of problematic N7s around... I wonder how many RMA/returns Google/Asus have had to process. I doubt we'll ever know, but it would certainly be interesting to find out...

My own N7 (16Gb WiFi model) has performed (relatively) flawlessy, ever since I received it as a combined Birthday/early Christmas gift back in November.

Other than a 'softbrick' whilst unlocking the bootloader (for rooting)... and quickly resolved by fast boot flashing the JB factory ROM... the only problem has been screen flicker. Whilst this was attributed to the 'auto-brightness' feature, disabling it did nothing to remedy the problem.

The odd thing is, is the screen flicker has since gone away all on its own!!

My N7 is now running sweetly with Paul O'Briens MoDaCo Jr13 custom ROM and Franco's r38 custom kernel.
[Nexus 7 General] djdunn:
My 32g is perfect no screen issues at all
[Nexus 7 General] drakenabarion:
I have my Nexus 7 32gb for 3 days now and the only problem I have with it so far is that it wont make me a new cup of tea when I finish drinking a cup.

Well, the hardware is perfect so far. No sign of screen lifting yet, colours are clear and vibrant. Sound is better than I expected too.

Well, if I have an issue at all, I would like the keyboard to be split like on a Windows 8 device while in landscape. That's if I have an issue. (I am perfectly happy actually!)
[Nexus 7 General] AidenM:
Perfect N7 here

The problem is you'll see everyone with a problem post, but out of that hundreds of other people have a perfect device. They won't post, cause why do if you don't have an issue?
[Nexus 7 General] elsworth1983:
My 32g nexus is fine had it since 28th Dec 2012 ( I think was very drunk) no screen lift no dead pixels sound is crisp clear soon as I got it out of the box it was unlocked rooted updated to 4.2.1 and threw bricked kernel on for good measure :)

I have some slight screen lift on one side of my nexus 7. not sure if its worth returning over...

does the screen lift end up with causing problems with the screen down the road?
[Nexus 7 General] diverblue:
Purchased my Nexus 7 just after Christmas and no dead pixels or screen lift issues to report. I have some light bleed down the left side of the screen in portrait mode but it's only an issue on full brightness in a dark room, you don't really noticed it in general use. I'm sure some slight modifications to the chassis's screws would resolve the issue anyway.
[Nexus 7 General] tiagoSequeira:
I have mine for a month now. The only problem I ever had is one dead pixel, it was like that when I bought it, never really bothered me, I'm pretty happy with Nexus 7, I don't even feel the necessity of using custom roms, such an awesome device!
[Nexus 7 General] Slender Troll:
Same story here. Only one dead pixel, but it doesn't bother me anymore.

No issues except box had a sent in it and a black scratch on the plastic edge
[Nexus 7 General] styckx:
Any tech forum will make near any device look like a disaster. They are the bottom of the funnel of complaints. The Nexus 7 isn't problem free but forums like this tend to make problems that might affect 2% of buyers sound like they are affecting 90% of buyers.. I bet if you dug through the forum of every device on XDA back to that products launch you'll find panic, mayhem and someone proclaiming the manufacture will most likely having a massive recall in a few weeks.

Same story, every product.
[Nexus 7 General] just lou:
I've had mine since launch day, and haven't had a single hardware or software issue.

I bought mine shortly after Christmas, for a paltry €250 (specs you can see in my sig) and I absolutely love it.

My first tablet I payed almost €50 more for less memory, less RAM and less power (Archos 80 G9).

Absolutely satisfied customer here, and the CM10.1 Nightlies are running great (using the Experimental M1 at the moment).

Another great experience here.

Screen is awesome (hated the screen on the Telus Galaxy SII that I had).

Build is very good, feels really solid. GPS is very fast.

After having the Gorilla glass on the Motorola Milestone and the Desire HD and never using a screen protector, I love it again on the Nexus 7.

Running stock still, will root later.

Got the 16GB version from Futureshop on Montreal North shore, last one they had in stock though.

Very happy with the purchase!
