Mine is fine.

Many people has unrealistic expectations from this device (device of any kind)

I'm sure there are some defective ones, but not nearly the calamity it seems.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah my device is fine. It's been 2 weeks now, no flicker, no speaker issues, no overheating, and no screen lifting whatsoever. Still having a hard time putting it down though. And it's really killed my phone for me, thats the biggest problem. Now I've been using pure aosp android, completely up to date, on jelly bean, I want my phone the same way and i'm dying to get a galaxy nexus now, but money is tight right now unfortunately
[Nexus 7 General] cmunic8r99:

[Nexus 7 General] CoR_Qc:
Mine was fine, till it just shut off and won't restart :(

Called tech support, they suggested holding down all 3 button at once, for 10 sec.. It restarted! I had slight screen lift on one side, not much, tech support immediately suggested RMA it...
[Nexus 7 General] Headbang3r:
Not an issue at all. I might be a lucky one :) /crossesfingers
[Nexus 7 General] adluna:
Maybe I'm lucky, but...

I've not experienced any of the complaints seen in this forum. I'd been researching tablets for months and trying them out whenever I could get my hands on one, Samsung, Apple, Nook, Kindle, and a bunch of lesser known brands. I saw that Staples was selling the Nexus 7 and stopped by there to check one out first hand. It didn't take but a few swipes and taps to get me to fork over the $$ for one of these little jewels!

I'm glad I didn't read the posts on this forum first..... I might have hesitated. I am very pleased with it.

I also own a Samsung Galaxy S ii (rooted), a [prized] Nexus One (rooted), 2 Nook Simples (rooted), a Nook Color (w/N2A card), a Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) and numerous other phones, PCs and netbooks.
[Nexus 7 General] Mark the Red:
My Nexus 7 works great. Running Glazed Jelly Bean ROM and loving it. Very responsive and fast.
[Nexus 7 General] Treydor:
Mine has been flawless
[Nexus 7 General] bukithd:
Mine is great. Other than the poor contrast which is just a result of cheaper parts. Oh well, it's already better than my old TF101
[Nexus 7 General] Sultanxda:
Mine had creaking on the left side of the screen and the screen would become partially non-responsive after heavy CPU usage. I fixed the creaking by removing a piece of foam on the inside under the area of the screen where the creaking occurred and the screen responsiveness by flashing a different kernel (for me, the problem exists in some kernels and not in others). Now it's working beautifully :)

I bought a 16gb one from Walmart, wouldn't boot. It would start to boot up then stop. I got an exchange, and the new one boots up fine and haven't had any trouble with it.

Just ordered mine from the play store today. After some playing around I'll be sure to report back. :)
[Nexus 7 General] BIFFTAZ:
Scratch that post ! Screen lifted this morning on my 2nd N7 ! Took it back to Carphone Warehouse & got a iPad 3. Loved my N7, But having 2 devices that had the same problem was enough for me to call it a day. Maybe I'll pick one up in a month or two when (if) the problem is fixed.

Adios guys...
[Nexus 7 General] graffixnyc:
All this screen lifting talk made me have a dream last night that my N7's screen lifted. I hope it wasn't a premonition. Hahahah
[Nexus 7 General] ajg74:
The only issue to speak of that I've had is the backlight flicker at very low light levels, ie in bed ready on Kindle ap, was fixed by installing Lux which also picks much better backlight levels at all other times compared to letting Android do it itself and is a lot smoother at changing from one level to another.
[Nexus 7 General] NicholasQ:
Funny, because if I have problems with my nexus 7 I will return it. Going with an ipad instead is not even in the realm of possibility. I either have a working nexus 7, or have nothing and wait for the next best android tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] swisstourist:
no problem here.n7 still in its box

d-9 for my birthday.

:)
[Nexus 7 General] jh1521:
FWIW my N7 took a drop from 5ft+ onto hard concrete this morning. Landed flat on the back cover. Not a scratch, good as new. I was really upset when it happened (slipped off a shelf) but after extensive testing it does appear that it hasn't suffered at all. I'll try not to do it again.
[Nexus 7 General] badasscat:
I haven't read all 48 pages of this but I'm pretty convinced the "screen lift" (which is really "case sag") is pretty endemic. It's just a bad/cheap design. There's just stuff pushing against the screen and back cover on that side and the plastic case and trim aren't strong enough. It's going to happen to all N7's eventually. I'm just trying not to worry about it - 99% of people aren't going to notice it. My wife thinks I'm nuts whenever I'm holding the thing up to my eye and looking down the sides.

I've had zero problems with my N7 other than that. I really like it.

I have a feeling there's gonna be an update to this design at some point, though, making either the back or the trim ring it attaches to metal.
[Nexus 7 General] painfactory:
Screen flickering here. Little bit annoying... Besides that it's perfect.
[Nexus 7 General] nolook:
same with me hoping the app lux fixes it
[Nexus 7 General] N3RD420:
I just received my N7 in the mail today I was nervous after reading about all of the complaints from everyone. I have to say mine is flawless and is everything I expected! Don't hesitate to get one.
[Nexus 7 General] HangingOut:
Wow, couldn't agree more. My n7 has screen lift as well, and while it sucks, I don't think continually returning it is the answer. It sucks, but it's certainly not the end of the world. As a prior iPad2 user, this thing is HALF the price. In my opinion it is not a big deal, everything I've tried to fix the lift, it will still come back a couple hours later.

Once I get a case I don't think it'll be a big deal at all. Great speed, beautiful crisp display, aside from the fitting to the top left , pretty good all around.
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
I have 2 16 gb N7's. One bought from Staples and the other from walmart.... Both are fine after one month and the other at 3 weeks. I took the back covers off both and checked the screws, they were all tight. Bought both of them tpu cases and blurex.... Love both cases but I'm really loving the wake up/ off feature so I lean more towards the blurex. Plus the blurex doesn't cover the screen at all, it just has "clips" for the corners. Love this tablet! Perfect size too.
[Nexus 7 General] SPreston2001:
16gb c70 with no issues whatsoever. No screen lift, speaker sounds good, and no separation issues. So far so good. On another note while I do realize some n7 owners may have issues with their tablets, most of the complaints are just people being anal. I too like my electronics to be perfect but honestly most of us wouldn't even realize our tablets had a issue if they didn't read these threads.
[Nexus 7 General] jkusmc:
Exactly! I haven't had any issues that I know of. The way I look at it, if I have to go out of my way to find an issue, it really isn't that big of a deal.
[Nexus 7 General] Jutt69:
I had that dream too! No sign of any "screen lift" yet but I've always been pretty lucky with my gadgets.

[Nexus 7 General] runandhide05:
I have a question for anyone having issues that did not buy from Google play store and had issues.

If you had to return due to a hardware issue did Asus tell you that it was your responsibility to pay both ways for shipping?

I have ghost touches ( screen thinks its being touch but is not) along a line of pixels, and Asus said I have to pay for shipping... not complaining about shipping, just figured they would cover cost on a manufacture defect
[Nexus 7 General] Sean88:
Couldn't agree more. So many people on here sounds OCD as ****
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Typically most tech companies won't pay for shipping to them but will for return, which I agree if it's not my fault the device failed why do I have to pay at all? But still if they said both ways that's messed up
[Nexus 7 General] runandhide05:
Well I understand it, but don't agree with it, Motorola never made me pay both ways, or at all once it was determined it was a manufacture defect, hell even HP paid both ways for a defect on my HP touch pad which is a discontinued product with only ten days left in the 1 year manufacture warranty.. and from the people I've talked to those that bought it from Google haven't had to pay any shipping costs

And HP and Motorola both sent a box with label for return shipping, its just the "right" thing to do, imo

Im going on 3 weeks with my c60 bought from staples. No issues at all.
[Nexus 7 General] modstorm:
Mine is great and I have no problems at all. When I first got it the screen seemed to be a bit washed out however I guess that was because I got used to my Galaxy Nexus screen. The only minor issue I have is that black text doesnt look so crisp on a white background (FB Messenger) however as I said before it might be because the Nexus 7 has a smaller ppi than the Galaxy Nexus and I think it is normal on all the Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 General] foxymyeung:

Can't put them down.
[Nexus 7 General] TheStrobeLight:
Pre-ordered mine the day they went up for pre-order. After owning a TF101 which was replaced four times due to terrible light bleeding and charging issues, I was prepared for the worst. But after spending all this time with my Nexus 7, I don't have a single complaint. No issues here!
[Nexus 7 General] Blucion:
Bought mine at Walmart a week ago and have played with it non stop. Been stuck in bed from a motorcycle accident. No screen lift no pixel problems. My only complaint is that my favorite craigslist app isn't comparable yet, but that's a developer thing. This tablet is super fast the perfect size and gorgeous. Love love love it!
[Nexus 7 General] Nippero:

Close to a month, no issues with mine. Been using it far more now than my netbook. All I've even done with my netbook since getting the tablet is updating the software on it, and adjusting some non-wifi router settings.

[Nexus 7 General] MPM01:
After reading all the problem and complaint posts I felt the need to necro this post:

Preordered my 7 same day website went live, opted for expanded gb version, arrived exactly when they said it would. Have had absolutely zero problems with this beast. 100 times better than my Samsung 10.1, first version.

Only 3 complaints I have. Number 1: can't put the Damn thing down. Number 2: my excessive use caused me to have to upgrade my data plan. Number 3: doesn't have a cellular antenna so I can ditch my beloved gsm gm.
[Nexus 7 General] guitarofozz:
Honestly this whole defect thing is getting crazy.

I had my nexus for like a week and hadn't noticed anything. Then I started reading these threads and noticed I had a little flicker. No screen lift, nothing else. I decided it bugged me enough, even though it happened only in very specific conditions that I would return it. I took it to office depot and the replacement I got had screen lift like a mother and still had flicker. Took it back and got my original back. I installed lux and don't have flicker anymore.

Later I kept reading and decided my screen was lifted ever so much (barely anything, and I have the google case anyways) but I started tweaking on that and used a combination of the fixes to get rid of it.

Now I read about the multitouch thing and noticed mine does it too. Only when it's laying flat on an ungrouded surgace though and I literally NEVER use it like that. Plus, my htc one x has the same issue and I've never noticed in 6 months until now when I read these forums.

These forums are gonna make me go crazy, lol. But seriously though, I'm completely OK with my nexus how it is now. No lift, no flicker with lux, and I never ever notice the multitouch thing.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
3 weeks strong now, still no issues, and I don't think I'm going to have any. Unless the occasional flicker counts, which imo if people make a claim over that then they are stupid. Honestly I don't even know why the flicker issue is even discussed really, it happens on mine but rarely and gone in half a second, hardly anything I'd worry about. Overalls the build quality feels as solid as my flyer was and no indication that screen lift will happen eventually. Honestly if it does happen ill probably just use one of the methods on here. Really it sounds like you can pop the back cover off and tighten screens without any indication you altered it, and of its otherwise perfect, then why risk getting one with more issues?
[Nexus 7 General] FallN:
My brother just got his on Monday. Its a C70 unit like mine. And his is perfect like mine too! Neither of us has a single defect or problem. :D

BTW, he ordered his from the Google Play store like I did. Super fast shipping.

I've had mine for 11.5 days with incredibly heavy, daily use and its in factory new condition, defect-free and so much fun to use! :thumbup:
[Nexus 7 General] gokart2:
Got it a couple weeks ago for my wife instead of the Fire. Of course I rooted and unlocked it before gifting it to her. Stock rooted odex 4.1.1 ROM, Faux123's kernel. Only issue was G-Play, setting up my wife's account and it wouldn't allow her to DL anything. But it resolved itself. Great device, sucks so many people are unhappy. We're loving it.
[Nexus 7 General] killerbicycle:
Thus far, I have not had any problems with my original unit. My wife hasn't had any problems with her N7 either. She said she gets a lot more out of it than any idevice she's had.

I think this thing is far better than the gtab+ I previously owned. I may change my mind a little when I start flying and travelling again next month, but so far I am very pleased with both the build quality and the system.
[Nexus 7 General] schleppy:
No issues with mine...
[Nexus 7 General] Lox_Dev:
I love that device despite its defect.

Mine has the screen lift on the left. Anything I tryed didn't fix it.

I now have squeaky sides. Sometimes the screen won't respond properly. I need to turn the screen off and then back on to get back working touches. I live abroad so I can't send it back ... too expensive to do so.
[Nexus 7 General] jamesst20:

[Nexus 7 General] rock7632:
Small screen lift on the left. Doesn't really bother me, I am really happy with mine
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
Me too!!!! I'm in the same exact boat. I'm on my 4th and final tablet after doing the exchange game (but I had good reasons for exchanging the first three, not just screen lift or something little). Anyway, this one seemed perfect, but since I read on here about screen lift, I can look and tell it has a tiny bit of lift on the left. It makes no noise nor does it affect performance, and I doubt I would have ever noticed it if it weren't for xda.

Then, just like you, I saw the thread on multi touch issue, tested and realized I had it. I'm still happy with this one though, but I'm realizing that it can be really bad sometimes to read about a problem on a forum that you probably never would have noticed otherwise,.....
[Nexus 7 General] Xeniel:
Mine is perfect except for the flickering issue which I read is common among Tegra devices so it's all good :) For a US$199 purchase, I'm happy.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I said it before and i'll say it again why does anyone even care about the flicker? About the time I notice it it disappears. The way everyone was complaining you'd think the nexus 7s flicker was so bad you couldn't read text on the screen! Mine doesn't even do it that often.
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
One of my N7's flicker, it's gone just as quick as it came and it hasn't done it in days. Does anybody know why the flickering comes and goes? It doesn't bother me but I would like to know if there is a reason why it comes and goes.
[Nexus 7 General] iGoOsE76:
