Mine is a 32 GB (everything is perfect with it except for the 1 dud pixel, after 4 days of use, so close), but N7 is a great device!

player911, any bad pixels or all good?
[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
I had a row of dead pixels, left to right. Requested an rma (bought at wally world, but was past the 15 day exchange/refund time) . 10 days from the day I sent it in to the day it arrived back to me. Stuff happens. I think asus is doing ok, considering the price point it is at.
[Nexus 7 General] Ohgami_Ichiro:
I used to be the Anti-ASUS Not cause I disliked them but because I had a history of killing them prematurely. And not just mine but other peoples ASUS items. My N7 is the 1st ASUS item I have had that was and still is working great! I got mine in July.
[Nexus 7 General] bftb0:
OK, I see. Returning the items was done for the benefit of "the people", it had nothing to do with anyone's picayune tendencies.

The universe seems to be structured in such a way that that folks who go looking for trouble always manage to find it. My 32 GB WiFi N7 - the only one I bought - is completely perfect. Funny how life seems to work out that way.

I am, however, going to try with all of my might to avoid the juicy temptation of testing to see if the bezel squeaks when I press it against the glass; no doubt if I found that to be the case it would certainly shatter my quiet and well-ordered life. If that were to happen, I might have to go out on the internet and turn the world over on it's ear with my sample-of-one testing.

Good luck and enjoy your device.

Yeah, those people are autistic OCD ridden idiots.
[Nexus 7 General] UrGuardian999:
I can be another to vouch that I got mine from the Play Store when it first came out and have never had any significant flaws with it. There's only been one possible problem with the brightness flickering at times but using an app called Lux seems to almost completely fix that problem. I've even dropped it once from counter-top height, no damage at all.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah I've had mine since August, no problems here either.

Motorola, yes. Samsung, F*** no.

[Nexus 7 General] rebel1699:
Motorola......god no. If you want motorola, just go out and find a crap speaker and put it in. I have never had a motorola with a good speaker. My Samsung i727 has been going a year and a half without any problems. I admit that I hate touchwiz, but thats what xda is for.
[Nexus 7 General] Skyfall007:
yesterday i sent my tab to warranty because the battery was awful...
[Nexus 7 General] BlackFire27:
I've had my XPRT for about a year now. The speaker is great and loud as it gets and the things as durable as a brick. And honestly I've had problems with everything samsungs ever made. Hard drives. Flash memory. Phones. Everything. "High tech" and incredibly fragile.

[Nexus 7 General] ahvipardik:
How many dead pixels is the minimum to change the tablet out.

I have not noticed dead pixels before, but now when i read the thread and installed black background app i noticed that i have plenty of dead pixels. (More than ten at closer look)
[Nexus 7 General] bftb0:
My guess is that there may be different warranty terms by country due to differences in consumer law(s). Although Asus might have a "global warranty" policy terms which backstop the differences.

e.g. This Asus page mentions at the bottom different warranties for .au and .nz

This US warranty page doesn't seem to even mention pixels directly

[Nexus 7 General] xarthos:
Misunderstood OP. Still don't see reason for crazy number of Nexi.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
ASUS does seem to have some issues with the early batches of their tablets, seems more so than others, but can't quantify that.

Still, I think when you get a good one, ASUS tablets are much better than Samsung or Motorola. Had Samsung designed this, then the dang thing would probably have a glossy plastic back and would slide out of my hand and feel cheap. :)
[Nexus 7 General] Number R09:
+1. move along.
[Nexus 7 General] thebobp:
Either troll or wherever you got such quick replacements from, has a bad batch.
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
I had to go through 7 different Galaxy Nexus phones before I found one that was at least half passable. Every single one of the units I returned had serious screen and build issues. And by serious I mean serious: one of the phones had a completely green screen, one screen was incredibly washed out and prone to ghosting, one had a huge scratch down the middle of the glass extending from the speaker to the center of the phone, one of the phones became so hot while using it that it was hard to hold etc.

So you see, there will always be defects in mass produced merchandise. Doesn't really matter who builds it.
[Nexus 7 General] :
"...breed." Agreed.
[Nexus 7 General] CooLoserTech:
6th? Do you live right next to the Googleplex or your retailier that you bought it from has lots supposely? When right now all places are out of stiock of 16 Gb unless you got a 8 GB

Seems like make believe to me. 6? Psssttttttt Just dont get another
[Nexus 7 General] InfinitiGuy:
Thanks for helping contribute to higher prices for everyone else by being so picky (or OCD). It's best if you start buying iPads to equal things out.
[Nexus 7 General] R3dbeaver:
did u go hiking with it on Kilimanjaro after u explore the Amazon?
[Nexus 7 General] SoHaunted:
The screen is bonded to the digitizer so dust is not a problem on our tablets.

[Nexus 7 General] compumasta:
Hmm

I really dont see how this would even be possible in what 10 days since people started getting them? I really have a feeling that there are some trolls trying to bash the new kid on the block. I cant imagine that this possibly holds water, but if it does, please do as others have suggested and do not get another one. If that is the case, you sir, are one unlucky SOB.
[Nexus 7 General] Arthur Hucksake:
Either that's not the case or I have the weirdest dead pixel ive ever seen, its like a curly line.
[Nexus 7 General] YoungAceAtlanta:
Samsung and Moto had their run in with defective units.. The Galaxy Tab 10.1 had a liquid screen issue or something like that...

But i don't think Moto or Samsung could of made a better tablet for the price point..

[Nexus 7 General] MarkyMark8609:
OP, maybe this guy is your delivery driver?
[Nexus 7 General] Kumnaa:
I've bought two Nexus(es/i what ever the plural is) and both were faulty. The first had 2 or 3 dead pixels right in the middle of the screen and the second had the screen lifting issue. The first of the replacements arrives tomorrow, hopefully I don't end up in your boat :/
[Nexus 7 General] chrisjcks:
6 replacements?

I call bull****.

What's the return time, 1 new device per day?

And to be unlucky 6 times when soooo many people have perfect devices. (including mine) - on the first one.
[Nexus 7 General] jarjar124:
6? thats a bit extreme...lmao..u will nvr find a perfect tablet with absolutely no flaws..i mean if its a lot of dead pixels thats ok..but if its a couple i wouldnt mind lol. im glad its asus. asus has been on top with tablets in my opinion. if it was made by motorola i wouldnt buy it at all lol
[Nexus 7 General] TheSilverStig:
Well this is my first Asus tablet and I'm kinda in the middle right now. First day I got it and started playing around with it I had no issues. Then my dad ordered one for himself. Day 2 I got screen lift. Day 3 I Rma'd. Day 4 my dad got his. Day 5 I got my RMA. My dad also got screen lift.

I understand its a budget tablet and some sacrifices had to be made but this seems like a design flaw to me to happen consistently. I just hope my RMA doesn't have screen lift otherwise I'm returning it for good. Jelly bean is the greatest mobile os and is leaps and bounds ahead of ICS or any other os simply because of how well it performs all the time. It was the only advantage ios had and now I can have more capability in addition to bulletproof performance. Too bad its on a device with shotty launch quality.
[Nexus 7 General] Luda305:
I went through 4 of them till I got the right one. Op keep exchanging till you get what you played for. Its not about it being perfect but at the least, free of major defects.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I went through 3 iPad 3s before finding one without a yellow tint to the screen (Google it, there was a huge problem with it at launch). I went through many Transformer Primes for very real problems--speakers that distorted at higher volumes, screens with dingy yellow tint, dead pixels, something broken loose that rattled inside, etc.--to the point where I gave up and ultimately returned directly to ASUS.

I don't doubt that someone could go through 6 Nexus 7's because of issues (although I would love to hear clarification on how that was accomplished given supply constraints). I also don't think it's unique to ASUS or even uncommon--seems like manufacturers work out their production kinks as they go along, and early adopters are pretty much begging for problems.

Maybe that's the nature of the beast when you're producing 10's or 100's of thousands, or even millions, of highly complex but relatively low-cost devices in a matter of weeks. Problems like adhesive not sticking probably don't start showing up until you're at volume. And as far as LCDs and stuck/dead pixels, at this price point I'm also not surprised. There are over a million pixels packed into a 7" screen for very little money--is it any surprise that not every screen is perfect?
[Nexus 7 General] androidkid311:
What I was thinking as well! 6! You must live next to the factory lool! Well I sent mine back for exchange but out of stock so I got a refund and used the money for a road bike. When Google released another batch it should have much less defects :). I can wait xD
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Ironic if his 12th RMA which he believes to be perfect slips from his hands while admiring his reflection then he RMA's another eight times because it's not his fault that it's too slippery to hold.
[Nexus 7 General] Tomatoes8:
This is a small sample size but it seems like every Asus display model I have played with at Bestbuy or Futureshop or Staples had some kind of wifi problem. Either no connection or slow speed. This put me off on the original transformer, did the same for the prime, and same with the N7. So yeah, Samsung should have defnitely done it. The tab 7.7 aluminum build with jelly bean and a tegra 3 for $199 would have owned.
[Nexus 7 General] hic9582:
This thread should be titled "first world problems"
[Nexus 7 General] Nitin985:
Needs to be made by HTC
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
Not sure if it's the same person or different people. But I kinda find these "first world problems" and "entitlement" replies kinda annoying. Like we are suppose to feel apologetic for not living in a hut or something. Of course we have first world problems, we live in a first world countries (most of us I believe). I didn't get attacked by a mountain lion on my way to work down at the river spear fishing, sorry about that. :p
[Nexus 7 General] dadoc04:
LMAOOOOOO!!! yall crazy as hell man...
[Nexus 7 General] lindenhurst:
My thoughts exactly. I'd be willing to bet there is a long history of returning items purchased. Some people are just too picky. I'm sure that if I look at every electronic device I have ever purchased, I could find some small fault with each of them.

All that does is drive the cost up for the rest of us.
[Nexus 7 General] lindenhurst:
I frequent best buy as well and I always check out the latest gizmos, and i have played with several Asus products and have not found an WiFi issues.

I also have no issues at all with my Nexus 7 device.
[Nexus 7 General] naznatips:
Here's all the issues I DO NOT have:

Dead pixels

Raised glass

Light bleed

Touch-screen problems

Connectivity problems

Sreen color problems

Here's all the issues I DO have:

....

I returned 2 Asus Transformers when I bought it more than a year ago, and am a very discerning customer, but I have no problems, not a single one, with my Nexus 7. So, I guess the point of my post is, sucks to be you.
[Nexus 7 General] jtskier11:
I hope a tad more care goes into the next batch.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
Same here. My Nexus 7 works great. Works so well its taking attention away from prime.
[Nexus 7 General] jaroslavj:
naznatips and demandarin(and everyone else who thinks that they don't have a defect) could you make a video like this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1789450 to show us that you don't have this issue with x y axis? So that we could be sure its a defect and return them.

Thanks.
[Nexus 7 General] hic9582:
Well literally everyone else in this thread is agreeing with me. And don't pretend like you don't know the meaning behind "first world problem".. its obviously not a literal term
[Nexus 7 General] Tricky103:
Damn, after reading though here I have found a single dead pixel on the right hand side of the screen..
[Nexus 7 General] Gromet:
OP, you should return you N7 and either find a different device to suit your needs or wait a little while for ASUS to fish their manufacturing issues? Seriously 6 tablets so far... Your ridiculous, trolling, OCD, Anal, or something. Cut your losses and look elsewhere.

..Gromet
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
I always chuckle when I read threads like this. Saw it on the Transformer thread and a few others. If my N7 had a problem, I would exchange it...once. If the second one had problems, I would return it and be done with it. You're on your 7th? Why? Why would you even want one after this experience?
[Nexus 7 General] condor7272:
I do not believe it

It is very hard to get 6 Nexus 7 within 2-3 weeks, I dont believe you, probably you are some jealous macaddict anti android, antiasus fan
[Nexus 7 General] I Am Marino:
Samsung? No.

Motorola? Eh. Maybe.

I liked the Xoom's design, etc.

Hopefully when I get a N7, it'll be in good shape.
[Nexus 7 General] ExploreMN:
Oh...and if it were made by Samsung, Apple would have judge Koh block it in the USA and if it were Motorola it would be twice as thick and missing more features for this price.
[Nexus 7 General] gparmar76:
Its probably early batch issues...most manufacturer's have issues in the beginning and then tweak their process and perfect it...but to have gone through as many as OP has stated, I call bull****...I have an OG Transformer that had to be replaced but the replacement has worked flawlessly ever since...Asus is known for high quality.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
But isn't any tablet complaint a first world problem? And right now every single one of us is on a message board for a trendy new product.

Do you really need to transcend the materialism of the topic at hand?

Also, remember that some people use a tablet to pass the downtime in dangerous regions. If a guy in Afghanistan were to make a post about the build quality of his Nexus 7, you don't want to be the nasal windbag who chimes in to say first world problems.

I returned my first nexus 7 with screen separation, and returned it. The new one also had screen separation. This is REALLY disappointing. I am not going to get any more. Samsung would have made a better product.

[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
I'm seriously considering getting back my deposit and waiting for Google to address these issues and let us know they've been fixed. Because at this point, I feel that it's almost like playing russian roulette with these early units. :/
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
It's EXACTLY like playing Russian roulette. Except for the gun. And the bullet. Oh, yeah, and the risk of death.

Sorry, I'm at an in-law's birthday dinner and I'm getting punchy...
[Nexus 7 General] yanksrock1000:
Through Staples. They were very kind about it, which is just about the only good thing about the situation.
[Nexus 7 General] babybacon:
My left side of the screen was a little spongy.

so i just got some tissue and clamped it down put it on charge and turned up the brightness and started a movie.

it seems that the glue didnt stick at first but doing this has fixed the problem.
[Nexus 7 General] Chinpokomon:
I must have received the Galaxy Nexus you returned. My first was a green screen as well. When the screen was really saturated with red or blue, such as during the boot animation, you could occasionally see the right color under a sea of dark green. I suspected the calibration was just horribly wrong. Fortunately my next was good. There is some slight streaming when I look at a gray screen, but it isn't noticeable most of the time and is better than the Nexus S I replaced it with.

My Nexus 7 is perfect as far as I can tell.
[Nexus 7 General] Jamxx299:
Hmm. My 7 (8 GB) has been perfect so far. First one too. I guess I was one of the lucky ones.
[Nexus 7 General] XxLostSoulxX:
Samsung Nexus Line is good. So im not sure whats up your ass with that haha.

Moto I can agree hell no and hell no to HTC.

You'd rather want it by Highly Technical Crap. Sense has gone from really good to really ****.

If anything leave it to Samsung, Google themselves, Asus, Or HP.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Obviously there was a bit of exaggerated theoretics played into that scenario, but I'm sure my point got across.
[Nexus 7 General] Silrocco:
I purchased two Nexus 7 from Sam's club, one for my son and myself and both have NO issues at all. These are my first Asus devices, I've pretty much have bought Samsung and HTC (phones mainly). So, no, I wouldn't change who built them as I'm very happy with our Nexus 7's!
[Nexus 7 General] PhxkinMassacre:
Curious, why Samsung or Motorola? Why not HTC. HTC makes phones that are solid as hell and their ui is kinda bloated but since it would be running straight aosp that wouldn't be a problem. So I say neither, HTC ftw! Haha
[Nexus 7 General] randpost:
I've been buying ASUS since they were just peddling PC components. They always have had the worst QC in my opinion. I still buy their products though, because they make great products (when they work) and they honor their warranties. A 200 dollar tablet with this much horsepower is unheard of. Hats off to ASUS for meet this dollar point.

I should also state that I haven't had to return either of my N7's.
[Nexus 7 General] nooomoto:
Mine is flawless.
[Nexus 7 General] hullbay:
Relax bro, him wanting a flawless unit as described without dead pixels is perfectly understandable. No one is "jacking up" the cost for everyone by requesting RMA's.
[Nexus 7 General] No_Nickname90:
LoL!! That's what I'm wondering too. I'm even more mad that one of them was Gamestop. I pre-ordered one from Gamestop last week on the 17th. Of course mines isn't here yet. I'll gladly take that one with the screen issue. There was a fix for that. =.P

I'm assuming these are the 8GB... No. Let me stop myself there. Gamestop is only carrying the 16GB. I am officially jealous. LoL!!
[Nexus 7 General] Arthur Hucksake:
The screen issue isn't easily fixed regardless of what you heard. No degree of foam removal fixes it long term, it's a problem with the glue setting usually.

It's pot luck whether you get a good one or not. I'm about to be on my third.

Loose screens and dead pixels are the sort of thing you expect with a 5 bob gingerbread tablet, not a supposed "Nexus".
[Nexus 7 General] stezo2k:
Must have had some really bad luck, mines perfect
[Nexus 7 General] ynnek63:
wow....sounds like you got some bad karma going on there!
[Nexus 7 General] worx54:
The manufacturing process on these things are a joke...

I received a brand new 16gb Nexus 7 from Office Max that had 3 noticeable deep scratches on the rubber back of the tablet. I'm assuming it was used/damaged at the manufacturer factory. I'm pretty sure the tablet wasn't damaged during shipping because the box was still sealed and the plastic wrap covering the unit was still intact. Another weird thing I noticed was when I first powered up the tablet, the Nexus was already setup and everything... (it didn't pop up the initial set up wizard menu asking me for language, wifi network, and google account). So I'm not sure if I received a defective/used/damaged tablet from Asus or not, but luckily they had another one in stock. The new one seems to be fine so far.
[Nexus 7 General] wired00:
Google bought motorolla so you know 'motorolla' will be making nexus products from now on...
[Nexus 7 General] Nospin:
No they won't. The process of picking an oem will stay the same.

Welcome to the joy of being an early adopter. I've seen iPads that wouldn't turn on, had dust under the screens, dead pixels, a weird one with a yellow tint..... most of the quirks get worked out with time.

But in this world of mass produced electronics, the chances of bad products increases. Everything is made by the lowest bidder, deal with it.
[Nexus 7 General] Arthur Hucksake:
Yes, but how many iPads did people get through to get a good one? Usually it was a one swap affair. Many of us are on our third or fourth Nexus 7 and it's only been out a couple of weeks. It's wrong to compare the issues this thing is having with other tablets.
[Nexus 7 General] infamousjax:
