[Nexus 7 General] ctenorman:
If these posts are correct (Diagram, Further Explanation), then this is an actual design flaw that could cause the vast majority of Nexus 7s to have the screen separation problem. You would just need enough time and enough heat to cause it to lift unless some tablets have something special that others are missing.

So expecting an official statement from google about something that appears to be a serious design flaw that could potentially affect all units over time is not only sensible, it's the sort of thing we would rightly expect from someone who wants to create a good user experience. Uncertainty about problems that can't be fixed until something is changed creates a great deal of anxiety. Google owes everyone an explanation, particularly so this doesn't get out of hand.

Heck, if Google told us there would be a fix and all units sent in for RMA after date X would get it, I'd hold on to it right now, send it in for warranty service on date X, and stop thinking about it. I'd tell other people to buy it too and just get the fix when it arrived. As it is, I'm returning it and may never buy another until I learn if the problem has been definitively corrected.
[Nexus 7 General] vincentlodato:
Just to confirm for some people i was supposed to be on the 3rd wave(Sep 30) and i just got called to pick it up at game stop this morning(union, nj)
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
The display on my 8, received less than an hour ago, is lifting on the mid-upper left side right out of the box.

Also, more dead/stuck pixels than I can count. Did a proper test with the lights out, full brightness, one eye closed, and tilted it back and forth.

It was like star gazing.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Most definitely, I agree 100%. I'm waiting for some kind of official statement as I do believe it's warranted.

Second wave was set for Aug 8th, I got a call to come pick mine up as well. What happend was someone decided they didn't want theirs and they had an extra one and figured you would want it pick it up early. They're definitely not on the third wave yet. The guy at my Gamestop said he's waiting on his second order to be delivered, but I assume most of those have some of the same problems as the first waves.

That's crazy dude, super disappointing to hear.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Any word? How are the Nexus 7's that people are picking up this past week looking (in terms of defects?)
[Nexus 7 General] ijeff:
I picked up my 4th device yesterday and the screen lift defect is there. It seems every device has it. If not at first, it may arise later on.

In store warranties are handled much better than Google. In and out with a new device so long as there is stock (that comes in weekly).

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] espionage724:
Interesting, I'll keep this in mind :)

But after the 30 day store warranty; any issues that arrive after that, I assume would have to be taken up with ASUS? Does Google only handle RMA's with devices from Play Store?
[Nexus 7 General] dansan382:
preordered mine from gamestop around july 18th i think... ended up coming in 7/25 and was the SECOND wave of tablets he received. only got 3 in for this wave.

i have small screen lift on left side which i fixed via the "pill packaging" method. still have flicker in low brightness. i just keep it at 30% to avoid it.
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
Did you buy yours at Staples by chance? I have yet to see a non-defective N7 from Staples here in Canada.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
I was told they're handled by ASUS. (Which I've heard are almost unbearable to work with). Would love it if they were handled by Google tho. Can anyone confirm or deny either?

My Gamestop has the Second Wave arriving 8/7/12. Third Wave i'm unsure of. Maybe different for different areas/stores?
[Nexus 7 General] xastey:
Maybe I'm not looking good but I got mines from Office Max on release day and my screen looks tightly secured. I did have the auto-brightness flicker, I just turned off auto brightness for now.
[Nexus 7 General] copota:
I've been thinking of getting mine at a local Staples, maybe I'll hold off. Though, Staples has an excellent return policy, which is why I was planning on purchasing from them. Maybe I'll hold off till September, and try to get in on a third or fourth wave production series.
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
If you are in Canada don't bother. Like I said in the post above I've yet to see a non-defective tablet from that store. Also, online I've noticed many people complaining about their tablets from Staples. Apparently they do not have any stock left at all, so any new tablets that show up should be from another batch from Google, but who really knows. Perhaps they are getting them from another supplier which is still dispensing the original batch.
[Nexus 7 General] copota:
I'm in the US, and according to online stock, there are a couple of local Staples that supposedly have them in stock. Though, I'll be keeping clear of Staples stock.
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
I ordered mine on the 7th of July. I was originally second wave for 8/7 I then got a call on the 13th allowing me to pick it up. I got it. Winning

No defects for me
[Nexus 7 General] krelvinaz:
Stores getting new units doesn't mean much.

Just because a store is getting another "Wave" of devices has no relationship as to when they were manufactured or if the manufacturing process has even changed. It just means they are getting more units.

Even if they are newly mfg'd, it doesn't mean they have done anything to rectify the issues that may be causing some of the failures.

Personally, I've now touched 4 units, all of them without any issues. All of them are 16GB units and all of them were ordered via Google Play.

3 of them were ordered and shipped before mine was which was July 19th with a delivery of July 27th.
[Nexus 7 General] sashusmom:
I have a US Staples 16gb unit- 10 days maybe? And it is fine for now. But I am keeping my eye on the left side.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
I was called as well, but decided against picking it up due to all the issues they were having.

Yes, you would like to think however that because of all the issues and RMA's Google would attempt to rectify the situation and ship out newer mfg'd units.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixxt9:
I'm pretty sure i already know the answer on this, but just checking. Is there any way to delete bloatware via adb or something without rooting? OR (before the flame party starts) ... is there any way to root without doing a factory reset?

NOW: the reason why i ask is i just found out one of my mom's friends also has a shift. She's been getting quota errors on her phone and even though she's uninstalled some apps, a lot is being ate by stock installed bloatware that she doesn't use. I'd like to be able to get some of that cleared out for her, but she's not super tech savvy and I'd rather not inconvenience her with having to reinstall everything and set it all back up.

If not, I'll give her the option of a full root and run an a2sd rom on it for her too. Just trying to see what all of my options are. I apologize in advance if this has already been covered. I haven't had much time to search. Internet's off at home and my signal's been too spotty to use the xda app. Only have time to check stuff at work and I couldn't find exactly what I needed.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TDJ512:
Without root I doubt you could do enough for it to even matter.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkleiner:
Only thing you can do without root is install a factory ruu image, which will wipe everything, but will also be an actual fresh install rather than just formatting user data with a factory reset.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbag1122:
Can't she just use the native 2.2+ apps 2 sd? Like go into the app info and click move to sd. Otherwise i like to use zdBox which will kinda do a batch move. Also it will clear cache and a lot of other things. There's also a program called link2sd which will do the ext partition move and native apps2sd.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixxt9:
She probably could but like I said, she's not really tech savvy. I could set it up for her, but it wouldn't put her mind at ease. I'm pretty sure she needs the visual of looking in her app drawer and NOT seeing the apps before she can fully stop stressing about her phone. But we'll see. I have the next couple days off so I'll talk to her. If she doesn't have too much data to move I'll just root and help her set up either newSENSE or Supreme and call it a day. If that proves to be too big of a hassle I'll offer her the native apps2sd option and try to convince her that her phone won't blow up on her. Or it might not matter cuz she might be upgrading ... in which case I'll just get the phone off of her as a backup and root it for me lol.

I guess my main inquiry was is there a way to "root" enough to remove bloatware. I think before they found the 2.3.3 exploit though the best that could be done was "freezing" while in temp root but i think all the apps came back after reboot. Dunno...
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Root it, and do it right. She and you will be much happier in the long run. My friends girl was the same if not worse about her EVO4G. She thought that Sprint would call and accuse her of rooting the device :rolleyes: . I let her think what she wanted to. Rooted and Mikafied his EVO. After two days he called me and said she changed her mind after using his phone. The biggest thing is letting a person see what the differences are, and what the advantages will be to Rooting.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixxt9:
Convincing her of the benefits of rooting is no biggie ... the hassle i was trying to avoid was her having to completely set up everything on her phone again. Not the biggest inconvenience, but she might be debating getting another phone too. I'm not overly pressed about it. I won't see her again until next weekend, and at that time i'll let her make her own decision. Worst case scenario, she decides to opt for something like the Galaxy S3 and i talk her into giving me her shift as a backup. Doesn't matter to me one way or the other. I was just wondering if there was a less obtrusive way to delete her bloatware than a full wipe/RUU.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottpeterbell:
Hi Guys

I have the galaxy s2 and i am having problems with it atm, since the phone died on me during the night i woke up and left it on charge for a few hours till i woke up again and ever since then the phone WILL not sleep when the charger is plugged in? I have checked the settings on it and its all set to the way its meant to be, but when its off the charger it will go on sleep with no problems? Not a big issuse but its kinda annoying when you get a text or tells you its finished charging and the light wont go off when your trying to go to sleep yourself.

Cheers

exactly the same issue

im using the i9100 and im facing exactly the same issue with my phone.. its is running the ics 4.0.3 nordic version and siyah kernel.. i have tried flashing different versions of siyah and still no avail.. pls do give us users facing the same problem an adivice on how to fix this..

thanks...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaron_my:

It is great of you to start a thread regarding this problem lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottpeterbell:
Suppose someones got to ask haven't they? lol But looks like we might have to suffer cause not many people know of it lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
From a previously posted similar question the issue is a known one. If memory serves me right it's normal for the I9100 not to sleep whilst on charge but remain on either 100Mhz or 200Mhz (can't remember the stated value)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT start a thread in any development section to ask this Question. You will just get ridiculed (by others, not by me, I'm just warning you) and the post will be moved back here to Q&A by a moderator.

Development forums are intended to release things. Not to ask questions.

Now, to answer your question....

As stated above by HANDSY, if your question refers to the sleep of the CPU, then that does not enter "deep sleep" while the device is in a charging mode. This is normal.

If you are referring to the sleep of the screen, for example, you get a notification which wakes the screen, but the screen then does not sleep afterwards even when the set screen timeout elapses, then that is NOT normal. There are several apps/widgets that are capable of keeping the screen awake while the phone is drawing a charge either from the charger or a USB connection, so I'd check for installed apps/widgets in this case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] St0rmzx:
Couldn't you place the phone face down while your sleeping so it doesn't annoy you?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcooshiro:
Silly question but you're sure you've checked:

Settings > Developer options (under System heading) > "Stay awake" is unchecked?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottpeterbell:
And to the START of your post i didn't start the post in this development section it was moved here by another moderator and now its going to get moved back over?? I take it this forum doesn't have any communications with anyone on here so before you start going on at me get onto your other moderators first!!!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
It's not getting moved back anywhere. It belongs in Q&A, it was moved to Q&A. Problem ? Take it up with a mod. My clairvoyance tells me this thread is getting closed soon. A bare minimum of research on your part before you posted would have got you an answer to a question that is a known issue with this phone/common knowledge here (not going into DS on charge).

You've got your answer, this thread is finished.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You need to work on your reading comprehension. Read my post over again. I didn't say you started this thread in a development forum. I was just saying that if you DID start a new thread in a development forum to ask this question, that would be wrong. Since questions belong in Q&A.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
Thread closed

You posted this in General, it was moved here by Crachel, a Senior Moderator, as it is a question, and questions belong in Q&A. There is plenty of communication here by those who pay attention and follow the rules, as well as between management. You need to do your own research, not ask questions in General or Development, and stop posting in such a contrary manner if you want any kind of assistance here.

'Page: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Visitor: How soon might the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III Developer Edition come out? I really am looking forward to that unlocked bootloader! And with Motorola announcing that they'll now have unlocked bootloaders for future phones, I may just get the RAZR HD when it comes out rather than the SIII Developer Edition if it's taking so long to come out!

Page: I understand that you want to know when S III Developer phones are available for purchase. Am I correct?

Visitor: Correct! Specifically the Verizon version, actually!

Page: Thank you.

Page: I will be glad to assist you.

Page: Please give me a couple of minutes while I gather the required information.

Visitor: I guess I wasn't aware that there were other kinds! Seeing as all the other carriers' versions are unlockable. Dang Verizon. :/

Visitor: Take your time! Thanks a ton!

Page: You are welcome.

Visitor: I work in sales; I completely respect that you have a lot to do, so no rush.

Page: Thank you.

Page: Thank you for being on hold.'

Visitor: Yep!

Page: The developer version will be released very soon. However, we do not have the exact date when it will be released.
