[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgthartman:
Theres a wee bug in android where after a new pair, restart, or occasionally on bluetooth disconnections bluetooth tethering will become disabled on the host device.

Go to the device with the Internet Connection and (on ICS / JB) hit Settings -> More -> Tethering & portable hotspot -> Bluetooth tething and check it.

You'll have to redo this regularly but combined with an occasional bluetooth off/on unpair / repair this will work.

(Nexus 7 / Galaxy Nexus - both rooted stock)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veletron:
Hi

If you don't have the screen below (or equiv) mentioned in my previous post, then you wont be able to tether without using 3rd party apps. I guess the BT PAN profile is missing where this option is not available.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmarquis:
I don't have the BT tethering option on my AT&T S3. Guess I'm out of luck.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ComradeHaz:
Thanks for this. All was working fine between my UK (stock European with a few Vodafone apps) Samsung Galaxy S3 (SIII) and Note 10.1 until I upgraded to 4.1.1 on my S3. It seems this option was added then or disabled by default. All working splendidly now, cheers. :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mex900:
Droid Razr Nexus 7 connection

All,

You can tether the 4G LTE on a nexus 7 you just have to enable bluetooth tetheriing in Setting > Tethering & Mobile Hotspot > Bluetooth tethering

Without doing this, it won't link via bluetooth tethering.As for laptop, you have to allow access point in your laptop in order to allow the Nexus 7 to fully connect to your laptop to share files.

Cheers!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hel22:
This thread has the most similar problems that I have. By me the problem is opposite. I need to get internet connection on my phone (xperia U) and the only way is through tethering through my iphones hotspot. Bluetooth says paired but not connected and wifi hotspot isn't found in the list of wifi networks.

Bluetooth tethering worked fine on ICS but I downgraded to GB and now nothing. I can't install 3rd party apps yet because no internet on phone.

Is there no other option? Is it either GB, lag free phone but no tethering option or laggy ICS phone with tethering??

CM9 RC2 is out now..does anyone know is there's any major changes from RC1 besides general optimizing? I've seen a link to the gerrit changelog but that doesn't really tell me much as a non-developer...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sshede:
There really isn't anything major. Work on CM9 is slowing down as the Jellybean source was released.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mb9023:
Which is sad, because I love CM9. I've tried switching to some Jellybean ROMs but they never have the options I'm used to in CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ruifung:
Because JB was just released. Those options will come in time.

[HTC One S] Popiah:
I just got my One S a few days back. Everything seems amazing except for the screen.

I noticed that the screen appears a little yellowish as compared to my previous desire. There is like a yellow tint to it when I view the screen directly. However when I tilt the screen a little, the colours become normal and the tint is gone.

Has anyone experienced the same problem on their One S? :confused:
[HTC One S] tian100:
I have have three ones in the family, and every one of them has a different color tint, and one red, one blue, the other seems to be ok. I guess there isn't much consistency.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3FytH3m1Nd:
Hi guys I need help fixing the song durations detected in my music app players..

So far I have tried Rocket player, 3, doubletwist, walkman but they all seem to recognise a few of my songs as lasting over 20 min!

Those songs usually last around 3-4 min and I have even tried to delete and retransfer to the sd card. For example, the first song is stated to be 27:55 min long but when I play it, it just fully played out (around 3-4min) and go to the next song..

Anyone knows the solution? I need this solved as I usually use the slidebar to adjust to various part of my songs in order to listen to specific part and it just sucks that instead of going to the 2min mark, I need to move to some random timing and hope that is the 2min mark.

Thanks!

[Kindle Fire General] Stage:
I think you need to edit your build prop. There is a thread dedicated to this I believe.
[Kindle Fire General] GameGuru41:
Do you have a link? I did a search to no avail.
[Kindle Fire General] Volumes:
I hear rumors that gl is implementing some kind of device check. Any supported ROOTED device wont play. Even if your device is supported. I don't know if or how this can be true. Just hearsay.
[Kindle Fire General] Stage:
It's in the development section. I think build prop is in the title. Sorry I can't check right now.

Vote guys. I want this to show an accurate percentage.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
No defects at all ;) I voted NO!
[Nexus 7 General] jmrog:
not sure how to vote. I guess yes, it's such a slight lift that if I didn't read about it here I wouldn't have even noticed. I'm planning to do the "fix"(remove back panel and tighten screws) to see if that takes care of it.
[Nexus 7 General] kitch9:
Yes, because everyone who hasn't got this "problem", is going to be trawling the net just to answer polls saying they haven't got a problem instead of enjoying their device.

Most who have got this "problem" wouldn't know they have this "problem" until they find threads like this telling them they have a "problem", even though their device is working perfectly.....

If you want the build quality of a £600 tablet then buy a £600 tablet.... This one is cheap as hell so the odd incredibly minor "problem", is to be expected.
[Nexus 7 General] RayLovesick:
No
[Nexus 7 General] dcoaster:
I disagree. Basic quality control is key. Even for a $250 device.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
I can't even use my tablet because the screen is so bad. This is no "minor problem" and even a $200 device should come working properly. If you don't agree with my poll, ignore it.
[Nexus 7 General] cypwrx:
No issues here. I highly doubt 50% of the tablets have this issue though, poll seems flawed.
[Nexus 7 General] ateebtk:
Yes
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
The poll is not flawed, it's inaccurate because only 40 people have voted. Once more votes are in, we should get a better idea of the accurate percentage.
[Nexus 7 General] nonperturbative:
No
[Nexus 7 General] laverdure#1:
Yes.

And it's going back with RMA. Slight lifting on brand new device, what is it going to be in a year?:eek:

Bottom right corner. Google is sending me another. Squishy when pressed.

Even the guy at google said, you spent 230$ you expect it to be perfect. When you buy a car, do you expect 1 cylinder not to work in the engine?

So there is no *defect* to be expected. That's bad business on Asus's part.

I have it on mine. I noticed it right away, got used to it after using for a night, then got fed up with it the next morning and found this thread. I've cracked it open twice to try and adjust it and I think I may have fixed it. I think. It seems to come back after a little while which is probably why i'm going to rma it in a little while. Maybe a week or so hopefully once things have died down over at el goog and they have fixed the manufacturing issue.

[Nexus 7 General] flintfirewalker:
Yes. It was barely noticeable' but because I knew about it' I kept pressing it until I made it a problem. Now I will need to fix it. :(
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
Wow. The scary thing is that this separation can be pretty subtle, and may only appear in some cases after the device has been heated and used.

That would mean that this poll has more false negatives than positives.

Hold your device at eye level in a well-lit room and see if you can see any black on the left portrait side from that angle. Press along the edge of the display and listen for a noise. If you can find either of these symptoms, your device is defective, whether this flaw bothers you or not.
[Nexus 7 General] flathead031:
Nope, no screen separation problems here.
[Nexus 7 General] Keyze:
Nope. I've got a flawless device :)
[Nexus 7 General] Jayrod1980:
Mines a micrometer raised. If I didn't have perfect vision and looking from a foot away I wouldn't have known. You can't feel it or notice otherwise.

What I want to know is what's so great about this display? No real light bleed and good angles but blacks suck and not very saturated. Guess I'm spoiled by my gnex, but looks nothing like a one x either
[Nexus 7 General] rdubbs007:
I found what was making the reported "creaking" sound, at least on my tab. Sounds like adhesive that has come loose or not sticking enough. Took back off, turns out to be just the tape / ribbon that is stuck near the top middle on the side where the pogo points are. Pictures below. Also tightened my screws more, seemed a tad loose but now they are good.

​
[Nexus 7 General] rudger81:
Mine has the problem noticed it within 2 minutes of taking it out of the box,

Looking at the amount of people with the problem I will wait a couple of months until there is no back order, then hopefully it will be from a different batch and will not have the problem

Extremely annoyed with the situation major delays in delivery for early preorders then poor build quality or Q/A
[Nexus 7 General] cykoduck:
Yes, but not bad enough to not wait for a later bath
[Nexus 7 General] flathead031:
I take mine back...I have a slight raised screen that I can push down on the left side. It doesn't bother me right now unless it affects performance or gets worse.
[Nexus 7 General] r4d14n7:
Are you speaking of something other than the screen coming up a little bit? Seems like this problem wouldn't effect your operation of the tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Ok, slight exaggeration. I cannot use the tablet comfortably. Any pressure on the left half causes a creak and a ripple effect on the screen.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I feel like a dumbass for asking, but what exactly IS the screen separation problem? Creaking noise? Off center screen? How does one check for the problem? My Nexus just got here today and it's still charging, so I haven't played with it yet.
[Nexus 7 General] caplanjr:
No. Actually, a perfect build. But, mine shipped on 07/14 so I'm

thinking they caught the problem.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
Hold the device at eye level and look at the left portrait edge of the device. If you can see black, that means the screen isn't flush. You can also try pressing on the left edge of the display and checking to see if it creaks.

The amount of lift varies wildly, and it remains to be seen whether a minor case of separation will eventually expand and cause other major problems, such as light leakage and creaking during normal use.
[Nexus 7 General] cliftonrouse:
Not yet!!
[Nexus 7 General] Mr. Argent:
Slight creaking on the bottom right. Don't feel like returning, as it's nothing a quick tightening of the screws and some super glue won't fix. (And I'm glad to have it at all!)

Self-selecting surveys will never be accurate, let's not pretend otherwise. And the severity of the problem varies - I have some flex on the left-hand side and am waiting for an RMA, others have it much worse.
[Nexus 7 General] The Janitor Mop:
Ah, someone who knows something about statistics. I'm always mystified by people who read polls on xda threads and go "X% of people on xda who own this device AND read this thread AND voted in it say they do/don't have this issue, therefore X% of all owners of this device both on xda and not must have/not have the problem."
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
It won't be accurate, but if everyone votes it will be close.
[Nexus 7 General] Glencairn:
Yup and has got noticeably worse in the 4 days I have had it. Initially I would have had to hold it close to my ear to hear the creaking noise and now I can hear it easily at arms length. There are other discussion in various forums where people are reporting having to tap the screen three times before an App starts or command will execute. I've got that too.

And to top that I have problems with wireless signal strength.

I guess mine must have been started on a Friday afternoon and finished on the Monday morning

I'm a realist and appreciate that Asus will have been churning them out at a rate of knots to meet demand. I've been unlucky and got a bit of a lemon. As long as Google do the right thing and replace it with a unit fit for purpose and without the build quality problems I'll be happy

Ignoring those problems I think the N7 is the canine undercarriage and think my TF101 might begin to feel neglected

I have it. the screen is not flush on the left side. when you try to press it in softly there is "give" and you hear creaking or a bit of sound. it's not like it makes it unusable. you just wish it was sealed off better and more uniform.

[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
Most of the people saying that they do not have this defect either haven't noticed it yet or are making some sort of statement about how minor it is.

Anyone who claims not to have this issue, and who has used their device for at least a few days, please take a picture of your left bezel.

This is a typical example of what the screen separation looks like, with a picture of the right bezel for comparison.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I voted yes, but mine is exceedingly minor. I can only tell it's happening if I hold my Nexus 7 at an extreme angle and look for the silver line that shows the border strip being higher than the screen. It concerns me because I can imagine it getting worse, but at the same time I don't have any of the creakiness or "mushiness" some people complain about.

I've placed a request to have mine replaced, but only on principle. If I had to keep this one, I wouldn't be too torn up about it.

---------- Post added at 09:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

Yes, that's worse than mine. On mine, the screen comes just to the level of the silver strip in a few places, but can't be seen from the side this way.
[Nexus 7 General] Jaybuz:
Mine had this problem but had only the slightest lift. I opened it up and tightened all the screws around the edges and it seems to be much better. Even the creaking stopped. :D
[Nexus 7 General] xJeganx:
I have this issue with my Nexus 7 as well. I did the quick fix but it didn't get rid of the screen lift completely.
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
Mine has the same problem. Just like the picture above. I picked it up from Staples in Canada last Saturday. Tried to exchange it today but they were out of stock. The demo unit had the same problem though. Not sure whether to live with this or not. What concerns me most is that the mushiness of the glass actually presses onto the screen itself and creates ripples and distortions.
[Nexus 7 General] slick_rick:
I have it but like verrry minor and its a non issue really. If I run my finger down the left bezel, I can feel how it raises towards the middle then back down near the edges. I cant even describe how much it raises. Maybe like .1mm such as if you put a piece of .5mm lead for a pencil next to it. Unless it gets worse, I don't see any problems.
[Nexus 7 General] mirror image:
I have it but as above, it's very minor. I probably wouldn't have ever noticed if I hadn't read about it online. I might request a replacement in the future but not right now. It took Google long enough to get it to me in the first place and it's not an experience I'm keen to repeat this quickly.

That being said, and this may sound bizarre, but mine seems to be better than when I first got it. Back then, it was creaking slightly when pressure was applied and it looked like it was raised higher than the bezel than what it's at now. Plus, no matter how much pressure I apply now, there are no sounds at all.

I'm definitely going to keep an eye on it for now, and possibly request a replacement when Google isn't running about like a headless chicken.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
Is it still spongy?
[Nexus 7 General] mirror image:
Not much to be honest. When I pressed down on it when I first got it, it would raise back up almost instantly. Now it stays there for quite a while, strangely.

[Nexus 7 General] downwiththebanksters:
Thanks!

OP, since you are looking for accurate numbers, could I suggest one small tweak? I think it would help if we also knew if it were 8GB or 16GB models that are more or less effected. No doubt they would have been made on different production runs or at least at different times/shifts. I remember seeing one post a few days ago where 3 people complained and they only had 16GB devices, so I decided to get an 8GB on this extremely small anecdotal data set. With your great idea here perhaps we can make a better decision.
[Nexus 7 General] gh0ul:
yes

yes, and if that was bad, it mad a squeaky sound when you pressed on it. also was missing a screw on the left side. i fixed the sound problem by putting electric tape inside...:mad:

edit: update: I called google tech support at 12:40AM and they told me that they'll set me up with replacement support which means I have to wait until they get back to me. Not surprisingly, he said it was a very common problem.
[Nexus 7 General] sponkemonke:
No defects.

Pre ordered from Bestbuy Canada online
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
I'm also interested in this because I just ordered an 8 as well, although I would be going with the 8 even if they were more defective.

I returned my 16 to Sam's Club due to screen lift, and tonight I talked myself into mail-ordering its little sister for two reasons. First, it will get here much, much sooner and, secondly, Google can afford to raise its standards for the 8 now that pre-orders are out of the way. If they intend to root out this assembly defect or ramp up quality control, they're going to be more thorough with the model that isn't backordered.
