Me too - no problems!
[Nexus 7 General] rocknblogger:
Mine is near perfect. The only minor issue I have is screen flicker in very low light conditions. I turned off auto adjust and turned it up just notch and no more flicker.

Otherwise this is an awesome 7 inch tablet and I really love it.
[Nexus 7 General] Cam2:
Perfect so far. Rooted and ROM'd. Absolutely no issues.
[Nexus 7 General] MrJESUSatWork:
I'm on my third, finally no problems out of the box. Also, can anyone here who has owned their nexus for a while say if it is still working perfectly?
[Nexus 7 General] paul-c:
I got a good one.
[Nexus 7 General] MDaveUK:
Nothing wrong with mine. Had it a couple of days now. No imperfections at all hardware wise, screen is perfect etc. In fact the color saturation seem to be getting better on it. It is a warm color temperature screen, but you only really notice if you compare it directly side by side with another, cooler screen. Not really fair to compare it with OLED screens. It's a fine LCD screen. Better then my Macbook Air's IPS LCD, which has vertical viewing angle problems (but ok horizontal angles).

Software wise, my only gripe or problem, is the landscape keyboard. I have pretty large hands, but even this is too cumbersome to use in landscape mode. Portrait is really nice though, feels like a large phone hah.

Need more apps designed with tablets in mind!

That's about it! It's by far my favorite Android device to use, but I shall still use my 1.6Ghz Xperia play for old school emulation, it's still king for that compared to any other portable device.
[Nexus 7 General] MrJESUSatWork:
If you want a nice keyboard, get swype. It's good enough that I never need to use landscape anymore :)
[Nexus 7 General] roltzje:
Zero issues for me too. I bought an 8GB on launch. The glass is fine, no ghosting, no noticeable backlight bleed in normal conditions, nothing weird at all.

---------- Post added at 04:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

Ive had mine for 8 days, used it extensively, and its perfect
[Nexus 7 General] Foxman2k:
Swiftkey 3 or whatever that app is works great and splits the keyboard in landscape!
[Nexus 7 General] RufusEVO:
Flawless. Have had no problems with the Nexus 7 at all.

Only issue I had was that they didn't want me running my own wi-fi hotspot off of my Evo while at work, so I switched over to sharing the internet connection via bluetooth.

It's really worked out well...for 250 bucks I have the equivalent of an enormous phone, but without the 2 year agreement. I supply it with internet using my 2 year old Evo, which I was itching to replace, but now I feel like I could hang onto it for another year as long I'm just using it to supply (relatively slow but acceptable and unlimited) internet and make phone calls. The phone company has been relegated to the role of a dumb pipe, and wasn't that the goal?

I'd really like to see a better Google Docs app, now.
[Nexus 7 General] Harry GT-S5830:
I had one frozen pixel (green).

Was easily fixed using a colour flood.

Other than that, i'm really happy with my purchase!
[Nexus 7 General] gflare:
Mine has no real problems (and I was in that first batch of pre-order deliveries). The back cover has a very very faint noise sometimes when i grab the right side (portrait), but nothing at all impacting my love of the tablet.

The look and feel of this tablet is stunning. It's the first android tablet that I've held which I can say looks and feels as good as an ipad, while actually being light-weight.
[Nexus 7 General] vtothet:
Got two 16GBs from the Play Store in on Saturday. It's now Tuesday and still no problems. Both are perfect. Oh and totally amazing to play with!
[Nexus 7 General] LondonLion:
Perfection

Got mine on Friday in store at a Carphone Warehouse, its now Monday and everything has been running perfectly. I run it off my SGS3's date with the hotspot option
[Nexus 7 General] thunder9111:
The left side of my screen is pressable, but it doesn't bother me at all. Screen is nice and everything working nicely

Perfect to me :good:
[Nexus 7 General] A380:
No probs whatsoever. Amazing value.
[Nexus 7 General] dono222:
No problems with my Nexus 7. Preordered and received it on 07/18/12 from ABT. No tax, free shipping and Google $25 play.

Rooted, TWRP recovery. No problems at all. No pixel issues, no bezel issue, no scratch issues. Been using it naked since I received it.

Fits in my pants, believe it or not. Coworkers were amazed.

No issues, love it so far.

Thinking about getting screen protector as a precaution now though after reading about peoples scratched screen.
[Nexus 7 General] andrewhchiu:
I think its only Swiftkey 3 Tablet that splits. Does anyone have any idea how to set the numpad between the keyboard in landscape mode? Or could it be it doesn't show up cause it doesn't fit?
[Nexus 7 General] LostInEthereal:
I've had mine for about 2 weeks, and while I haven't played with it much (spent the last couple weeks playing around with my S3) it's been working great for me. Now running Glazed JellyBean 1.1.2 as of about a half an hour ago ;)
[Nexus 7 General] BrianDigital:
If you waited till now. Your most likely safe from the minor issues.
[Nexus 7 General] mazzmoney:
Mine seems to be perfect. At first I noticed how washed out the screen was but now I either got used to it or the washed out look is gone. Either way I'm a happy camper! Lol

Besides some minor software annoyances the tablet seems to be I perfect shape.
[Nexus 7 General] xenokira:
Same situation for me. I've had mine for just short of two weeks and only noticed it yesterday while reading. It doesn't ruin the experience for me, but it's hard to forget now that I noticed it.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
How does the screen compare with say an htc flyer? Thinking about selling mine soon towards the purchase of a nexus 7 but the issues are kind of making me leary
[Nexus 7 General] tory13579:
100% Stock and 100% perfect! its my giant GameBoid!

This really made me love LCD IPS Displays. I think I might like them over AMOLED Displays.
[Nexus 7 General] Darkhallway:
Doing perfect except for it flickering one time, which a barely even noticed, I've had it for about two weeks
[Nexus 7 General] Torisen:
I've had mine for one week today and I've not had any issues. Picked mine up at Staples in Williamsburg, VA.
[Nexus 7 General] James-NC:
No problems at all. Everything works just right with all that I have used it for.Even the rooting went like clockwork though this is my first android device.Could not be happier with my purchase.
[Nexus 7 General] FirmShark:
I have absolutely no problems at all with mine. I'm very pleased with it.
[Nexus 7 General] tribestros:
Mine is fine like everyone else's. People are looking for problems now.
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
I was ready to live with a slightly raised screen, then I plugged in a few pairs of headphones and there is never anything coming out the right side. Guess I should've stopped looking for problems before trying to use headphones...
[Nexus 7 General] jabhome:
screen sensitivity

My 16GB has been having screen sensitivity issues. I have been using non-stop for several weeks now. After heavy use, gaming, or running a ton of apps the right side of the screen does not respond to swipes, touches, or virtually anything. This occurred both stock pre-root and post root stock OS running Morfic's kernel. When I tap power and turn the screen on and off touch seems to come back, but that really is not a fix for my 6 year old when he is playing Temple Run.

I have yet to trek back to Staples to return as I am hopeful that Google will release a software patch (assuming it is software). Are folks the vast majority of your folks in this thread really not experiencing the screen sensitivity issue?

Other than this issue I am in love with this machine.
[Nexus 7 General] brnbock:
No problems here. Awesome device, smooth, responsive and solid in the hands. Worth the $200/$250. Purchased through the Play Store btw.
[Nexus 7 General] claud_face:
Zero flaws. Absolutely perfect.

Could not be happier. :)
[Nexus 7 General] bluetooth_decay:
My screen has started to lift a bit along the long left edge. May have happened after my g/f dropped it (while in a cheap case). It flexes a bit, but it's not enough of a problem for me to return. If I feel like it I'll take it apart and glue or screw it down.
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
It is still washed out but you are getting used to it. I am also finding it difficult to adjust with the washed out screen. Whites and greens have real issues.
[Nexus 7 General] kilala117:
NOT having any.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
It sounds like software patches can fix alot of the screen issues. As for me when I saw the 16 gig was back in stock, my flyer went on ebay. Selling some more stuff too to make up the cost but most likely by the time I have the cash it'll be sold out again. It all good hoping they have the screen separation issue fixed by the time I purchase, as that's my only real concern
[Nexus 7 General] Raymond77:
I've had zero issues. :cool:
[Nexus 7 General] kattara:
I just got mine today, and haven't noticed any issues yet.
[Nexus 7 General] stezo2k:
No issues at all, got my nexus 16gb for £170. Bargain of the century

Use it more than my one x xD
[Nexus 7 General] vcasi:
Been with me for almost two weeks now, and the only problem I have is I can't get enough sleep. Playing late at night in bed..:laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] jutley:
Got mine from Currys last week all good here checked last nite need a case now.
[Nexus 7 General] okantomi:
+1,000,000

Beautiful, vibrant screen, faaasssttt! Couldn't be more perfect for a 7" tablet w/o microsd slot.

That would have made it completely perfect, but I have OTG/thumb drive if I need more space.
[Nexus 7 General] Altadroid:
No problems at all.
[Nexus 7 General] kaisersolo:
No problems at all - quality device

Well made product.
[Nexus 7 General] markp1989:
I have had mine since the 19th and its fine, no screen raised issue, or anything like that. complete tablet feels solid with no creak etc.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
2 days no problems (knock on wood)
[Nexus 7 General] pabs23:
A tempt fate thread if I ever saw one! I But had mine for a few weeks with no problems, other than not being able to put it down lol
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Lol that's my biggest problem. That and struggling to find a reason to root. Never have I had an android device so perfect. It's always been out of date, laggy or bloated with bloatware and manufacturer skins (ie sense, Touchwiz). Now it's well just perfect so what do I do? Lol
[Nexus 7 General] antikryst:
i have no problems with mine too so far. ordered 27th before midnight from the US google play store. not too happy with the colors being a bit washed out though but all is good. looks like its really supposed to look like that haha.
[Nexus 7 General] wmccann2:
had it since 19th July and no issues so far though I do wish it had a micro sd slot.

W.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah I knew it wouldn't though. The last nexus that had an sd slot was built by HTC. Google hates sd cards for some reason. I can live with it more on my tablet, but kinda makes my vivid hard to give up in favor of a galaxy nexus.
[Nexus 7 General] eakeller:
Sadly some of the happiness I had with mine has evaporated. My screen separation has gotten worse and the display has begun flickering. Going to get a replacement. I'm still happy overall, and hope I get a good one.
[Nexus 7 General] edgex:
I ordered two from JR on July 3rd, got em August 3rd . both are perfect so far as I can tell. I've seen no flickering on either, I've felt or heard no screen separation. I am A+ happy. So much so I almost want to make a new thread to offset some of the threads about people's not working lol.
[Nexus 7 General] DocB1973:
Mine is Fantastic

No problems here. Great device.
[Nexus 7 General] kiewee3:
I have returned one nexus 7, and now I think I need to return another. The first one had terrible screen flicker. The second one I have right now came with a ding in the top left corner, it has screen flicker issues, and minor screen seperation problems.

Should I return this one?
[Nexus 7 General] jamesfrom818:
Zero problems here. Still running stock. Only issue I have is why Google went with the phone UI instead of tablet but I fixed that by installing a new launcher.
[Nexus 7 General] pickerin:
No problems at all. I had the initial problem of it not downloading apps from Google play, but clearing the framework fixed it and now it is perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] erick0423:
Np here my device is perfect happy with my purchase:D
[Nexus 7 General] simms22:
not a single issue here, this device is just awesome :)
[Nexus 7 General] sbunker:
Had mine for a couple of weeks now and not had any issues at all. Really pleased with it :)
[Nexus 7 General] Drawingbreath:
No problems for me. Very very very slight yellowing on the right side of the screen when held portrait, but I have an iMac that cost me £1200 4 years ago that has got extreme yellowing and backlight bleed all over that screen. I'm a graphics professional too so I'm pretty picky. In fact I've been on the tablet fence for years. I work as an iOS and Android software dev and have been waiting for a tablet that met my needs since the iPad 1 came out. They've all been too heavy, too big, too slow, too low res and too expensive. When the iPad 3 came out I thought that would be the one for me. It wasn't. It was heavier than its previous brethren and it took so long to charge it was ridiculous.

The Nexus is half the price and so good that I bought another for the wife. Absolutely zero buyer's regret. And the good news? It's only going to get better when new software and new mods come out to enhance the experience.

Do eet.
[Nexus 7 General] r1d3r:
I did go through 4 exchanges, but I think it was worth it. This tablet is amazing.
[Nexus 7 General] ManMOuntain:
First tablet had dead battery, but this replacement is working fine. Love it :)
[Nexus 7 General] Stuphologist:
Initially a tad yellow, but cleared up now great!

When I (finally!) got it I noticed that the screen was quite yellow, but that faded quite a bit after just a day of use. Now if I hold it up close to my laptop I can see that the Nexus screen is a tad warmer. But it's not really noticeable, and doesn't bother me at all. Otherwise the thing is marvelous. I haven't rebooted it even once since I finished rooting it.

[Nexus 7 General] rwb2073:
Got two 8gb models here, both ordered from Google. Not a single issue. Both my significant other and myself are very happy. And she's an Apple user, a very particular one at that.
[Nexus 7 General] devong67:
16GB bought at local Sam's Club

I've had mine for a few weeks now and have no problems with it. Purchased the 16GB version from my local Sam's Club. It's a great tablet!
[Nexus 7 General] zen123:
No problems at all with my 1st batch device from Tesco.
[Nexus 7 General] calvinpn:
My unit seems to be defect free. It's only 5 days old (since being removed from the packaging).

I was a bit concerned with the color at first. I thought it looked a bit pale... but I went to a staples in the area and looked at their display unit and it was the same as mine. Is the color supposed to be lacking in contrast a bit?
[Nexus 7 General] iWoundPwn:
i'm going to get the 16GB model supposedly they fixed the issue with the current batches now! How good is the tablet sold my Playbook and iPod for this!
[Nexus 7 General] jlczl:
No problems with mine.
[Nexus 7 General] vboyz103:
Had mine for about more than 2 weeks now without a hitch...running smooth on my 16gb version I got at Gamestop.
[Nexus 7 General] drewski_1:
i don't know about "supposed to be", but there's only so much you can do and still sell it for $ 200-250.

i haven't read this whole thread, but i haven't had flicker problems or screen lift. i pre-ordered 7/2.

i do find it laggy at times, which surprised me with all of the JB, buttery accolades i've seen in reviews.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
Go to settings / apps / running and you will see who is stealing cycles.

Bet you find some downloads running that you do not expect.
[Nexus 7 General] Kleinzfigure:
No issues here. Had mine for 2 weeks now and loving it. Rooted with the toolkit. The battery is amazing and the screen is beautiful.
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
Had mine for less then 12 hours and I don't notice anything wrong with it at all so far.
[Nexus 7 General] jcffrcy:
Girlfriend is on her second N7. First one was great until the 8th day. Screen had a real tiny crack running from top to bottom out of nowhere. It wasn't dropped, sat on, etc. Looked like it was caused from pressure, as if the screen were a bit too small for the chassis but was crammed in. Digitizer was broken after we discovered the crack. Oh and also it had the screen flicker issue. Luckily Staples honored the exchange. Her second unit has been great so far, no screen flickering at all. I *hope* this glass doesn't split at random.

Sent from d2spr running CM10 (8/1)
[Nexus 7 General] sec6:
No problems here. Bought from Walmart in-store. Best piece of android kit I've owned. I think they've hit it out of the park with this one. Best of both worlds--it does what it is supposed to do right out of the box and is easily customized for those so inclined. No lag. No dead pixels. No flicker. No screen separation.
[Nexus 7 General] eflat5:
No issues...it's perfect so far...However I too have the problem of not being to put it down... I'm also reluctant to share which I fear will perhaps cause some friction with the lady...I see us buying this N7 a sibling in the very near future.
[Nexus 7 General] ArcaneDraco:
Had mine for about 2 weeks now', its amazing so far.
[Nexus 7 General] perthtrev:
Same, excellent.
[Nexus 7 General] MagiczMzq:
No problems here.
[Nexus 7 General] Vasyl83:
Perfectly fine N7 here, I even dropped it a couple of times and still as good as new.
[Nexus 7 General] reuthermonkey:
not a problem with mine. absolutely loving it.
[Nexus 7 General] JuyLe:
No problem here so far. Had mine for a week now.
[Nexus 7 General] MontyQ:
two 8GB launch units from play store all great no issues.
[Nexus 7 General] stolencar:
Picked up my 16Gb last night. Seems good to go. As a first time Android user, I'm feeling my way around still. I bought this to replace my 1G iPod Touch, which is no longer supported by many apps. I've unlocked, rooted and flashed the JR6 ROM. Mine's for music, surfing and all-around killing time. I've noticed that the stock music player does not seem to do gapless payback, tho'.
[Nexus 7 General] adriankeith:
I've got the 16GB and it has been absolutely flawless. Battery life is insane, running nearly 3 days with moderate use. I think the last time i checked before it died as I was reading my currents was ~2d 22hrs. It was at 3% at that point. Finding this device is pretty amazing and folks at my work love the size.
[Nexus 7 General] dmzxls:
My first one had the touchscreen issue. El Goog sent me a brand new one without question. The new one is perfect so far!
[Nexus 7 General] codeman05:
No problems here at all with the 16BG version.

Enjoying it quite a bit more than my previous tablets (owned pretty much every Motorola/Asus/Samsung since the original Xoom) so far
[Nexus 7 General] majorpanicuk:
The only problem I've encountered is the slightly washed out colours others have mentioned in other threads. But then the cellphone I'm using as a direct comparison is the Samsung galaxy note, you could argue that maybe the note screen is over saturated any way.

I've felt this wasn't good enough reason to return it, and to be honest now that I've used the device a lot, I haven't noticed it that much and overall I'm very happy with the nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] superbeak:
Fine on this end. And I got a roocase to keep it that way
[Nexus 7 General] nameless-:
mine has been good, ive had it for about 9 days
[Nexus 7 General] Shrink:
Just got mine today and have been putting it through its paces. Everything is working great. Fantastic little tablet!
[Nexus 7 General] ncvikingx97:
Screen ripple and stuck pixel. Probably going to return
[Nexus 7 General] hamdir:
A friend here in XDA shipped me a sealed 16GB N7 From Washington to Beirut

needless to say i was verry worried and to my luck it was flawless! n i mean perfect sample! screen is fit perfectly, no evenness, back-light or pixel issues

not even screen ripple
[Nexus 7 General] L3af:
Received mine Monday

I am happy to report that there are no problems with mine. I ordered a 16gb version.

Tested out tethering with bluetooth, watched transformers, wifi, so far so good.
[Nexus 7 General] shikem:
My 16 GB has Ben problem free.
[Nexus 7 General] shaunm82:
Have had mine for about a week now, been a real solid experience so far! No known issues that I've seen~ I love it
[Nexus 7 General] HKSpeed:
no problems here. hopefully I didn't jinx myself by stating that LOL.
[Nexus 7 General] xjacko7x:
I've had mine a couple weeks. Love it. No problems whatsoever.
[Nexus 7 General] Ursadorable:
I bought my N7 two days ago from Walmart while on a trip to the US. I have to say the build quality if quite excellent for the price point. I have no issues with the hardware at all.

The OS on the other hand, well, this is my first android device. It's the most cumbersome user-unfriendly, geek orientated interface I've encountered. I'm starting to get a feel for the way they do things, but it reminds me alot of the Linux insofar as they expect you to either love it, or despise it. For instance, a simple task such as setting a desktop wallpaper. The interface is the most retarded I've used. I can't take a large picture and have it automatically downsize it to fit, instead I have to use an awkward cropping tool to select which part of the picture I want to use.

Coming from iOS and attracted by the price point of the Nexus 7, I can't see recommending this device to novice computer users at this time unless I want to field phone calls on how to use the device.

Again, for the price, the hardware seems top notch, but the OS leaves some to be desired. We shall see as time goes on if the OS gets more user friendly.
[Nexus 7 General] afrojoc:
Besides the horrible custom ROM experience..its been good. Stock is amazing
[Nexus 7 General] Jon565G:
No problems yet. (Hopefully none to come!)

Got mine from Tesco UK 16GB a few weeks ago, can't fault it.
[Nexus 7 General] stezo2k:
Snap, mines been fantastic
[Nexus 7 General] Stevenator21:
Running Paranoid Android, perfectly fast. An amazing tablet!
[Nexus 7 General] jumpermb:
+1
[Nexus 7 General] Groid:
Depends on what you are used to. When I pick up an iphone or ipad, I think the interface is confusing and convoluted until I get oriented to how they work. My experience with the Nexus 7 and my Bionic is that I know where everything is and how it works. If you open your mind to anything non-apple, you might find there are other ways of doing things perfectly well.
[Nexus 7 General] dantay999:
The 3rd one with retention,lift,and a dead pixel was a C70K but only 15030 in the run, this one is C70K but it's 352379 in that run.

The back it also a slightly different texture and in sunlight has a pearlescent effect moulded into it, not sure if this is new or I just didn't notice it before.

The box had not been re-sealed.

The backlight is also completely even with no colour cast at all and greens are noticeably more green and the screen has much better contrast too with more pop, I wonder if they have switched screen manufacturers? I performed the lagom screen test and it showed all the white scale and contrast scale that pretty much disappeared on the other units so I'm not imagining it.

Overall this unit is what I would have expected first time round, fault free and a really nice screen.....result! :laugh:
[Nexus 7 General] southwalesboy:
All fine here!! (16GB UK)

had no issues at all, love it!
