Oh trust me, I'm giving it an honest to goodness fair shot. There are things I like that it does, and things that I feel it does horribly. I love that I have two widgets on the screen that display both my email accounts without having to go into the email app directly for instance. The face unlock on the other hand only works about 10% of the time after 3 different retrains, so I stick to a PIN.

I've already made my feelings known on the whole desktop wallpaper issue.
[Nexus 7 General] rootpl1165:
Same here. Got mine for a week now.

Only at the first 2 days i had some issues with screen touch detection but after that it is all good.

Don't know what happened but it is working perfectly. I love it ;)
[Nexus 7 General] snowwhite007:
No problems with mine at all love it overclocked using Trinity and it is ridiculous fast
[Nexus 7 General] racerex:
I've had mine for a few weeks and so far no problems.
[Nexus 7 General] tranquilmist:
I picked up my 16GB at Wally World on Saturday and I have ZERO problems (knock on wood) and loving it!
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
We all have the screen washed out problem which affects all of us but that's a software problem not hardware apart from that mine is perfect I think I was fortunate.
[Nexus 7 General] yossarian229:
No issues aside from having to wait for my TreeGloo case to arrive.
[Nexus 7 General] musbdluv:
No problems what so ever..
[Nexus 7 General] BostonDan2:
Is quality starting to improve. I feel like many are reposting about the number of times they had to exchange their unit to get a "good" unit, but now many, if not the vast majority, seem to have a good unit. I'm also impressed with the recent free upgrade tf201 customers are receiving at Bestbuy to get the tf700, I have to believe Asus is funding this.

Does this mean Asus/Google has finally realized the support required to gain marketshare and compete better both with the low end Amazon Kindle Fire and the iPad on the high end?

I haven't purchased yet and don't have the patience or time to deal with manufacturing defects or opening the device to fix issues that shouldn't be there to begin with. However, slowly I'm gaining the confidence to jump in and buy one. Thoughts, is quality improving?
[Nexus 7 General] willzane:
Had mine for 5 days now. Bought it at Staples. Opened the box at the store to check screen, etc. Plugged it in to the charger on the way home. Hooked it up to the PC, unlocked it, rooted it, installed Apex and I'm loving it.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
Pics of your claims please. I am looking to buy another one and waiting for defect free devices to rollout. Your device pictures would let me decide what to do. From where have you bought yours?
[Nexus 7 General] jpbdrogheda:
A week later and no problems. Other than not having enough hours in the day to use it!!!
[Nexus 7 General] Lakilaulea:
Well, I just received mine in the mail today and it won't even turn on. I think it's a screen thing. I'll see the Google logo for a second, then the screen goes black again. It's fully charged, but the screen just won't turn on. I've already called tech support and am having a replacement sent out; hopefully it'll be here on Friday. I'm a little anxious about that just because of this one I already I have. I'm really jealous of everyone who hasn't had any problems; I don't wanna call this tablet a bust, but it's really disheartening that mine is a piece of junk right out the gate. Hopefully this next one won't have this, or any issues. If it does and has to go back, I won't be getting a third. I've read some other threads here where people have tried 6 or 7 different ones and I won't be putting myself through that. So, fingers crossed!
[Nexus 7 General] saryu:
no defect. none none none. almost 1 week of usage, no problem at all except when i accidentally soft-bricked it.
[Nexus 7 General] phoneaddict13:
no problems here

preordered mine and was probably the first batch. everything is all good..knock on wood.
[Nexus 7 General] mazinya:
Exactly what i want to know as im having the same thoughts
[Nexus 7 General] Horse Trader:
. Me too, no (apparent) problems so far, in fact, it's far, far superior to my Sony S tablet ...................
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
No issues here, almost a week now. No screen lift, no flicker, no ghosting, no overheating, no speaker issues, nothing. Only issue I see is white over saturation making colors look a bit washed out, but that's the screen calibration issue that affects all units from my understanding, and Google is supposedly working on a patch to address it, but the screen still looks gorgeous so it's not a big deal imo. Honestly the overall quality seems great from what I've seen
[Nexus 7 General] nusairh:
So far so good.

Using it for three days.

Smooth operation.

Very slight flicker observed when I switch from a ebook reader (aldiko) to the home screen, but that's definitely for automatic screen brightness under incandescent lightling, simply the light sensor takes some time to re-adjust. If you turn it (auto brightness) off, this 'problem' is gone. Also I was having a bit problem with the wi-fi at my office, the first day. But figured out it was the wi-fi router not my N7. Overall an A+ experience so far.
[Nexus 7 General] Nirvash7:
So far so good! No Problems. Buttery smooth, fast. Has some good weight to it, didn't expect that. Awesome product!
[Nexus 7 General] Obridgenut:
I love mine! Ordered 16gb model from Staples and it arrived Tuesday with about 50 percent charge and no issues so far. I can't believe how much faster and smoother it is than my galaxy tab 8.9 Wi-Fi. Think I might sell the Tab since I rarely use the rear camera anyway. Now all I need is a good case. Will wait to see how the oem case is before considering after market cases.
[Nexus 7 General] sq0nk:

16gig works great here absolutely no problems so far....knock on wood
[Nexus 7 General] rockky:
In 12 years on XDA I've never known a release NOT to have the very same issues...to the same degree.
[Nexus 7 General] Psipherious:
The only 'problem' I have is 1 dead pixel - but since that's not actually considered defective under warranty definition for both Google/Asus as well as most other screen manufacturers - other than that I don't have any of the reported issues that many seem to have with squeeks or screen lift to light bleed, etc.

As others here have mentioned! She runs buttery smooth and I would recommend this tablet to pretty much anyone. It's a very nice machine and the hi-res display just looks awesome on a 7-incher.
[Nexus 7 General] OphirGopher:
Just got mine today. No problems. Love it!

Edit: Screen has developed the raised bezel issue on the left side. Will monitor and likely will call Google for a replacement.
[Nexus 7 General] antiochasylum:
The lower right side of my screen isn't stuck very well. Possibly not enough glue. But if I press it down, it sticks for a few hours.

I only recently noticed it. Its not bad really, doesn't make the screen bad or anything. Not sure if I want to exchange it or not.
[Nexus 7 General] Rueben_:
Had mine for 3 days now no issues what so ever and I have been using it a hell of lot. I herd about the light leakage issue were light was leaking on the left side of the device but thank god I have had no issues. :)

No problems so far. I am not going to Root it as we will be first to get all updates.
[Nexus 7 General] TidBit:
Wow, and this is a great device. The Nexus 7 is well worth the money. I rooted mine ad it works great. I use stick mount to have expansion through flash drives.

I will ONLY be buy Google devices from now on

Also remember, they sold millions of these. And you are hearing bad things from a couple hundred people who have problems. Most of the time people don't write to tell you how great it is... They write about how bad their experiences are.

Get it, but you won't be disappointed.
[Nexus 7 General] T-Slice:
I am loving mine got a 16gb last Friday at Sams club and a 8gb from the Play Store on Tuesday. Both were in perfect condition.

I am really impressed with this device. Fast, modern, it has what I want and none of what i don't want.

Incidentally $25 free Play credit and $10 google wallet money for free sure isn't bad either. Way to go Google.
[Nexus 7 General] nooomoto:
Mine is good to go
[Nexus 7 General] sunrise71:
I got mine at Office Depot yesterday. The floor model had a side that was a bit loose when you pressed on it but mine is perfect. I wasn't sure I would like the size since I've only had 10" tablets before but I really, really love it so far.
[Nexus 7 General] Justinjesse:
A week no problems. I love my nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] vshun:
I have one of the first shipped units from Gamestop, no issues at all, love the tablet, gets way more use in the family than Asus Transformer (too big, bulky and inconvenient to hold0 or Nook Color on CM7 (obsolete).
[Nexus 7 General] Hobbes2099:
Less than 12 hours with mine, but no issues so far.
[Nexus 7 General] superchi:
Purchased my 16GB on August 1st; have rooted it and left the stock ROM as it works really well for my needs. I've been using it a few hours a day for taking notes in class and have not experienced any software or hardware problems. Also have been able to use Google Wallet before and after rooting with no issues.

I've been through a few other brands/sizes of tablets and this is by far my favorite, and definitely has a lot of bang for the buck.
[Nexus 7 General] Too51oll:
No problems with mine. 16gb from Carphonewarehouse.
[Nexus 7 General] pdanders:
No problems for me or the several other owners I know. Keep in mind that people with issues are always the people that speak up. Every device will have a small number of defects; as long as the manufacturer is responsive it shouldn't be a big deal.

There are plenty of defective ipads out there as an example

Had mine 4 days, no build quality or performance issues, the problems with software availability, forums have found me the apk files
[Nexus 7 General] jeepinmike:
Ordered on release day, received july 19th, not one issue I am aware of to date. I use this a lot, enough that I charge it nightly. I have the oe case on it, but have taken it off to clean screen a few times and glass is same along whole outside edge. No weird colors, ghosting, flickers, or response issues.

Anyone think the OE case provides enough pressure to keep glass from lifting?
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Got mine last week 16 gig over, from ebuyer UK happy to report no problems ,screen is fine,no flickering or lift. Rooted easy with tools.Not tested USB to OTG yet.I am so far happy

Ditto..... Rock solid, very impressed with its Wi-Fi strength, had it up the lake and was grabbing the Wi-Fi signal playing Pandora where laptops and ipads couldn't get the signal.
[Nexus 7 General] drewski_1:
when you select it should give the choice of "Always" or "Just Once" (or something like that) at the bottom of the dialog box. choose "Always" and it will stop asking until you install another launcher or clear defaults for your launcher app.
[Nexus 7 General] feelinfroggy23:
Im on my 3rd nexus 7. About to be on my 4th after I return this one too. I love this tablet so much I don't care I keep swapping them out. Ill do it till I get a good one lol. 1st lifted screen. 2nd non responsive touch, and lifted screen. 3rd lifted screen, broken speaker (liveable). But yeah Asus really screwed the pooch on this launch but its a brand new product that they obviously rushed. It happens.
[Nexus 7 General] robfromga:
So is there any rhyme or reason to the bad ones? Where they from a earlier batch,or are the recent ones still problematic? Mines being shipped now.
[Nexus 7 General] IP IHI II IL:

[Nexus 7 General] NicholasQ:
People are complaining that the screen is very dim and the colors look washed out. Does anybody agree with this?
[Nexus 7 General] babicka:
Having it 14 days. Works great. But recently found out that it suffers screen flickering on low brightness when WIFI signal is low (hotel room). At home absolutely perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] CharliesTheMan:
Does it stop when you turn auto brightness off, or do it regardless?

Oh and I posted earlier in the thread and I'm still really enjoying mine. I've been getting good devices for a while so I was worried it was my turn to draw a lemon but the darn thing is amazing. Guess it's device karma for helping people out fixing their devices and stuff.
[Nexus 7 General] drewski_1:
i don't find the screen dim, but side-by-side w/ my Razr Maxx, the colors do look washed out.

not a deal breaker, imo. it's been posted that it's because of the different screen techs.
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Really? Would be interested to find out about getting the best quality
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah there is too much white saturation making the colors a tad washed out. It's all screen calibration, software related. Honestly its minor, the screen is still gorgeous, the high resolution and dark blacks make up for it :)
[Nexus 7 General] generationgav:
Got my 2nd Nexus and it seems perfect. First one had distorted popping speaker (nobody else appeared to have the issue) and minor screen flickering (I could have lived with)

Anyway, 2nd one seems spot on so far and colours seem better. Although I did think "oh god, the screen is really yellow when showing a plain screen" but realised the background to the XDA app is slightly yellow/cream!

[Nexus 7 General] 84tdan:
Not a single issue so far. I only noticed a bit of washed out colors, maybe I'm a bit biased, because of my amoled galaxy s2.

Nexus 7 is a fast device, robust and jelly bean is just wonderfull.

By the way i ordered my nexus 7 on the Google play site.

---------- Post added at 02:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

OK.... ****

I looked at my screen borders and noticed a small amount of raised glass on the lower left side of the device. Almost nothing, but when you look p close you can see it. And when you press it goes down.

After a time pressing softly, I decided to press harder... and now everything seems alright. The glass panel is in place all around the edges. No more raised glass, maybe with time it pops up again.

No problems here - had mine since July 26th.
[Nexus 7 General] hypertyper:
Also no problems and loving the device. You always get more people complaining because those will look for a place to vent. Most happy customers will just get on with life. That isn't to say that there seems to be quite a few issues if you poker around enough...
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Happy to say coming up to two weeks and all good.Same here ebuyer.com.Enjoy your tab my friend
[Nexus 7 General] tt100b:
Great so Far

No issues. unlocked, rooted, stickmount for OTG and everything works great. Only problem I have is the issue after root of not going into recovery. I put TWRP on and haven't messed with it again yet. Might redo it later, but the tablet itself is phenomenal, not one single problem. All apps work great, gmail integration is WAY better than it was on my IOS device (it oughta be!). Can''t say enough good things about it. In fact I went out and bought a Gnex phone to replace my IPhone 4 right away... Now if it would only get here!

I ordered one from PC World in the UK. It arrived last weekend. No problems at all with it. Unlocked and rooted in 10 mins. USB OTG works fine with Stickmount and a cable I bought for £2 from Amazon

I really like it. I prefer it to my Ipad. I think I prefer the 7" size. Having trouble putting it down.

I also have an HTC one x and don't think I could live without widgets now
[Nexus 7 General] smanders:
Had mine around 3 weeks and no problems at all; loving it!
[Nexus 7 General] dug-e-fresh:
How'd you fix it? I LOVE my N7, but after a week I noticed last night the left side, near the top that the screen is a little squeaky and seems to have lifted abit. Nothing too serious, I just don't want it to get worse. It may have been a day one defect that I just now noticed, idk.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I dont wanna have to send it back.

Doug

PS- seems to me the defect is actually a slightly curved frame/chassis along the left edge. Ie- the display wants to be flat, but the slight concave nature of the frame/chassis is preventing the screen from fully adhering to it. The right edge isn't 100% straight, but much straighter than the left.
[Nexus 7 General] shadowmonkey1974:
Send us the link to Amazon please m8 I can get one that deff works thanks to your post
[Nexus 7 General] mix1234:
Havent had any problems since day one. I may have the screen flicker issue but sometimes I'm not sure. It comes an goes. Ill just ground the wifi if it ever bugs me. Sending it back seems like too much hassle for what its worth.
[Nexus 7 General] DrumRobC:
I was skeptical as well after seeing all of the issues posted here. No raised glass, no dead pixels. The speaker is a little crackly when volume is cranked - there's an 1/8" speaker/headphone output for a reason. This device is amazing, I have zero buyer's-remorse after this purchase! Unlocked and rooted in 5 minutes using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1809195.
[Nexus 7 General] stevvveo:
I had one of the first batches and I had the flicker come and go. If you do a lot of reading or white space Web browsing then it'll really start to annoy you. I was hesitant to return like you. I thought it couldn't be worth it but the guy I talked to at Google literally said it's hardware related and best to send it now if you're on the fence. But to each his own. I got a new one and I'm so much happier with it no problems at all and now I don't feel like I'm going to have a seizure. Amazing product all around though, glad they are acknowledging and replacing when needed.
[Nexus 7 General] juandoe:
No problem here. Ordered June 27. Received July 17. Used pretty much daily.
[Nexus 7 General] jh1521:
Guess it's a bit too early,but so far so good. Been using it for about 6h now,no flicker, no screen lift or creaking. Still trying to get used to the JB interface after using GB for so long. I'm a bit miffed that my favorite soft keyboard (hacker's kb ) only seems to work in landscape mode not in portrait- it reverts to the stock kb in portrait.

On my 2nd Nexus 7 so far, 1st one had major screen lift on the left side. My 2nd is solid with no problems.... Yet.
[Nexus 7 General] Dannar:
I'm fine with mine, and so are the majority of people, I'd wager. This is a forum people go to when they have issues with tablets and phones. Draw your own conclusions.

Duely blundered from my thunderdolt.
[Nexus 7 General] Saint Wacko:
I have absolutely no issues with mine. I love it. Battery life is incredible; I charge it maybe twice a week, and that's with keeping bluetooth constantly on so that it can access my phone's bluetooth tether when I'm out of wifi range. No build issues, it arrived in pristine condition. Slight scratch on the screen, only noticeable if you're looking for it, because it isn't gorilla glass. Guess I'll have to put the screen protectors on this weekend. Definitely worth the price.
[Nexus 7 General] graffixnyc:
Got mine yesterday. Everything seems fine. No screen separation or dead pixels. Everything seems to work well. Unlocked and rooted with stock rom and motley kernel
[Nexus 7 General] jsimpson96:
Minor screen lift on the left side but other than that its perfect. Running Codename Android ROM with Trinity kernel. Overclocked to 1600 and got a 5723 Quadrant score. Smoking fast!!
