Additional update: replacement N7 does have equal screen lift (don't care at this point), but no dead pixels that I can find. Interestingly, however, it's MUCH warmer than the other one. Whites have a yellower cast vs. what I now see as a bluer cast on the first one. I'll have to look at it further, but I think I prefer the color temp on the first one.

I'm going to have to decide now whether I'd rather have a warmer (yellower) screen or a colder screen (which I find more pleasant, I think) with a single dead pixel. Or send in for another RMA and take my chances. Or return both, get a refund, and revisit the N7 later.

Damn.

I got this email:

Hi Samer,

My team has let me know the replacement will be from a new batch. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Regards,

Kristina

Now im not sure if this new batch also has this problem, cause people are reporting they still have the problem
[Nexus 7 General] Jayrod1980:
Just got my replacement today. Sides are rock solid and zero lift. Screen is a little brighter. Color temps seem almost same... kinda between purple and yellow whites, decent. The old screen is a tad more saturation but noticed my second has some image retention. I don't have this on the old screen. I wasn't paying much attention though when I got my first if it had the momentary burn in that the new one has. I compared them side by side and have zero retention on the old one. My screen however is intermittently unresponsive.

I read that once IPS panels burn in they have less image retention. Mine is minor, anyone know the answer?
[Nexus 7 General] steevp:
Just got my replacement.

There is still a very slight raise on the left side, but it is barely noticeable a much better than the first one. As long as it doesn't get worse I think this one is acceptable.

No dead pixels

No creaking

No flickering so far

I will check the battery life, because it felt like I wasn't getting the same battery life as others with the first one (maybe 6 hours max with very light usage)
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:
Replaced my Nexus 7 because the colors were washed out. The replacement arrived today and it's even more washed out.
[Nexus 7 General] mmegalodon:
Ordered my replacement Monday 8PM, got here this morning, and all seems perfect so far. Device / screen is as solid as expected, and everything else appears in order. Pretty satisfied with the replacement process, provided everything remains decent this weekend before I ship the return unit. :)
[Nexus 7 General] removesstains:
Got my replacement today as well. So far it seems flawless. It feels solid compared to the old one. No screen separation, I even pressed around that area and tried giving it a little pressure twist to try and initiate separation and it had no reaction. :D

I have no screen flicker what so ever either and my speaker even sounds better.

So I haven't came across any flaws yet. I'm extremely happy and my smart case came today to. Good way to start a weekend.
[Nexus 7 General] BamAlmighty:
Got my replacement today... DAMAGED from the factory.

I noticed on the box it was double taped, the previous seal was broken. When I looked it over there were a couple spots where the silver was scraped from the bezel and the back cover was obviously removed, because it doesn't fit as snug as it should, there are noticeable gaps.

Does Google not understand the concept of quality control? Hopefully the third one won't be a problem....
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
Not trying to be a **** or anything but Google didn't manufacture the tablets therefore how are they supposed to know if something got damaged. Asus on the other hand is the one who doesn't understand quality control. If anything I'd be contacting Asus over Google for any manufacturing issues.
[Nexus 7 General] nyijedi:
Yeah, this is all Asus. I knew something like this would happen once I saw Asus was making the Nexus 7. They absolutely suck.
[Nexus 7 General] BamAlmighty:
Sure Google contracted Asus to manufacture the Nexus 7, but it is a Google product, sold by Google. I bought it brand new directly from Google, why the hell would I take on the additional hassle of going through Asus?

This falls on Google... Apple doesn't make their products, they contract through manufacturers like Foxconn and unlike Google they'd be all over Foxconn if they were shipping damaged product and you sure as hell don't go through Foxconn for Apple warranty support.
[Nexus 7 General] RobBlackthorn:
Again...

I received my N7 last Friday. Screen began separating. Called Google Tuesday. Got replacement today (Friday). Take it out of the box. The screen is already separated. Real bummer. :(
[Nexus 7 General] stingfeelgood:
Just received my replacement. I was having screen lift issues and a blown speaker. Well my replacement is way worse with regards to the screen lift. it also seems as if the back cover isnt snapped on all the way. In fact the silver plastic on the left side is buckled slightly. However, the speaker is fine. Im thinking of swapping out the speaker into my original and sending the RMA back. Do you think they would know?
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
Not saying you have to go through Asus completely. If you got a problem with the way they're being manufactured contact and Asus and let them know that they have problems going on. Also Asus is the Manufacturer and Google is the supplier. For example is it best buy's fault for selling me a laptop that could be broke that was manufactured through Asus. The answer would be no. Suppliers rely on the manufacturers to make a quality product that functions the right way. So Google has pretty limited control other than telling them to fix the manufacturing of the product or they would have to find a new company to manufacture these tablets. I put no blame on Google on this except that they have yet to say that there is a manufacturing problem here.
[Nexus 7 General] Jayrod1980:
Got my replacement today as well. Notice the screen is rock solid all over. No give anywhere. Its also very bright, brighter than my original and has a little cooler hue to it too. All fine... but the screen has some slight image retention and bad flickering at low brightness levels. Guess I'll try Google again. Hopefully you guys get some of this last batch because other than the flicker IG looks and feels great. My original feels so much mushier than the replacement though I only have slight lifting on it, so slight you would have to feel it to detect it.
[Nexus 7 General] goinskiing:
Got my replacement and it's perfect so far and solid screen! Happy with this for sure, now to enjoy it! Good luck everyone! :good:
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Turn your Nexus 7 over. Notice that it has "ASUS" written on it. Now look at the box it shipped in. You'll notice "ASUS" written on it as well.

Now, go find an iPad. Look at it and its packaging. See "Foxconn" written anywhere? Bet you don't...

Like it or not, this thing was made by ASUS and Google in a joint effort. Google is handling support through ASUS, with different policies, but that doesn't change the fact that ASUS is providing the ultimate service. Buy from someone other than Google, you'll be dealing with ASUS because no other retailer (which is what the Play store is here) takes any responsibility for post-sales support.

Incidentally, some Chinese company made the thing just the same as Apple has theirs made. They weren't made in some ASUS factory.
[Nexus 7 General] dreckman:
Replacement received.

Received replacement today. Original had screen separation issue. Also some screen flickering with auto brightness enabled.

Replacement is good so far, no screen separation. Screen flicker not an issue either.

Now just have to figure which case to buy.
[Nexus 7 General] gmikesell:
Got my replacement today. Perfect in every way. Screen seems brighter, display sits solid. No flicker and the accelerometer is properly calibrated. If it stays this way then I won't be going to the iPad after all! Love this tablet! As mentioned in an earlier post, my first unit was double taped. This one wasn't. Would kinda like to know what's up with the factory installed fingerprints all over the display though. Don't they clean these things before they apply the screen protector seal? Never the less, I'm happy.
[Nexus 7 General] lostradiant:
Got my replacement today. Immediately noticed the screen lift again. The popping noise was also a little bit louder than my old one. Also there was screen flickering at low brightness. I called Play Support and they said that they would send me a knew one. Received the RMA email an hour or two later and placed my order for the replacement for the replacement. I have already packed the replacement and am ready to send it into when the new one comes in the mail. In the receipt it says the shipping estimate is less than one week so hopefully I'll get it early in the week like Tuesday or Wednesday.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
So, yeah, I decided not to accept either my original (screen lift, dead pixel) or the replacement (screen lift, yellow tint). So I've processed my second replacement.

I've received confirmation that I still have 15 days after receiving the second replacement to return for a refund. So, if that one's not acceptable, then I think I'll give up on the Nexus 7 for now. It's a bummer, but I'm sure I feel like many others in saying that it's just not worth all the time and hassle.
[Nexus 7 General] mobilehavoc:
Got my replacement and it is perfect. No screen flex and the screen itself seems less washed out compared to my first one. This one feels very solid in my hand and I'm loving it. If you're not happy with your Nexus 7 just get a replacement, it's worth it than to try and fix it yourself.

I called them on Tuesday night and had it Friday so not bad. Sending back my original one today once I use up the $10 Google Wallet credit I have on it.
[Nexus 7 General] TheMach:
I received my replacement yesterday, no screen lift! But unfortunately it had a stuck pixel in the middle and intense light bleed on the left. I requested a second replacement :-\
[Nexus 7 General] Kagedin:
Got my replacement yesterday spent the better part of the day playing with it, no major issues so far, did notice a little bit of a creak every now and then on the right side which my original didn't have but it's barely noticible, all in all a quick and painless process with a good replacement unit.
[Nexus 7 General] SS2006:
We are aware of the issue, and my team has let me know it has been resolved in the new batch.

Is that Google Support said
[Nexus 7 General] kojaraty:
I want to order a replacement but i want to wait for the new batch. Does anyone have an idea what is the maximum days i can replace my device since the day i received it?
[Nexus 7 General] shadrage:
Received my replacement yesterday, can't find any problems with it, seems rock solid!

My only complaint is that they put another hold on your account until they receive the old unit. Had gone into it figuring the way Amazon handled exchanges of their Fire was a universal thing: no charge or hold unless replacement is not received in thirty days. Wonder why they couldn't do that? People remove their credit card or something?

Oh well, I'm happy :)
[Nexus 7 General] Jb2db:
Ordered replacement due to screen separation issue on 7/23. Received replacement on 7/27 and it seems to be without issue. No screen separation, dead pixels, ect. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with Google Play's customer service and quick turn-around time for a new 16GB N7. :)
[Nexus 7 General] Warren_Orange:
15 days.
[Nexus 7 General] Ravynmagi:

[Nexus 7 General] oyoboy:

[Nexus 7 General] smelian:
I have the same problem oyoboy 'the sent email but without anything about the replacement , BTW Asus suck don't trust it it a 10% that's you will get a devicee without issue on it
[Nexus 7 General] mfucci:
Perhaps a stupid question, but does Google use the same replacement process for units that were not purchased from the Play Store? I ordered from PC Mall and have not received my order but thought I should be prepared since so many seem to have issues.
[Nexus 7 General] Responsibility:
Just called about getting my replacement due to separation issues :( hopefully my replacement will be better!
[Nexus 7 General] regalpimpin:
Ordered the 20th, received on Friday the 27th. Called that night for RMA. Screen lift and ,some light bleed.

I also have a prime and have dealt with its issues so I just want something without flaws out of Asus.

Process was very painless was probably on the phone 10minutes total.

I'm assuming the replacement will go out Monday, will report back on it.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
My second replacement will be here in 3 hours I'll let you guys know how it is.
[Nexus 7 General] laverdure#1:
Replacement 16GB arrived last Friday, no issue at all, got a keeper!
[Nexus 7 General] housry23:
I have a question for those who are replacing the replacement. Does Google hold a second charge against your card? I was told by a rep that they do, but read on another forum that they only hold 1 charge at a time. My replacement has the screen separation just like the original and I want to exchange it, but don't want $500 held on my card. The guy said to wait until the first charge has gone off the card and then call back for the replacement. He told me he would try to get the original shipping fees refunded because of the hassle.
[Nexus 7 General] Hakizi:
I got my email with the link to initiate the shipment of the replacement, but it just gives me an error and I can't go through with it. It's been 7 days now, it still doesn't work, and nobody at Google will respond to my emails. What was the phone number to call support? I can't find it anywhere.

Edit: Here's the error.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
I have two preauthorizations sitting on my Amex right now as I wait for my second replacement to ship.
[Nexus 7 General] funkyboy1281:
Just ordered my 2nd replacement. As for the pre-authorization I just noticed that the one for my first replacement is no longer showing on my amazon credit card so I guess it will go away after a few days but I was safe and charged this one on my bank account just in case.
[Nexus 7 General] BamAlmighty:
Same story, replacement I ordered last Monday, the auth dropped off Sunday or this morning.
[Nexus 7 General] flathead031:
Well, I got my replacement today and it has MUCH WORSE screen lift on the left side. I told Google that I'll just keep my original N7 and suck it up. I won't hold this ****ty manufacturing against Google but against ASUS instead.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Funny, but I was told by a rep that I can't keep the original and return the replacement. She was insistent that I had to send the original back in. Seemed crazy to me, which is why I haven't sent it back yet.
[Nexus 7 General] calvin4001:
My nexus 7 was good for a few hours but it just crapped out on me. Let's hope replacement number three is the winner...
[Nexus 7 General] flathead031:
Really? They just sent me a new rma and ups shipping label.
[Nexus 7 General] nyijedi:
For those of you with problems, make sure your return period with Google doesn't lapse before you get a good unit. Asus is f'ing incompetent. I had to RMA my Prime with them for screen defects, and the bumbling morons sent me a 32GB model to replace my 64GB model. Now I have to go through the whole RMA process again, and they don't offer advance replacement.
[Nexus 7 General] cwc3:
I couldn't keep mine either. They say you have 7 days or they will bill you for it. So I "re-stocked" it and shipped it today. I got 15 days with the replacement, but I will be calling them as soon as they get my old one in a couple days. Sad my 2nd one was way worse than my first. Its sad they also told me just to google the fix, and see if that works. Really?
[Nexus 7 General] Solange82200:
This worries me, because if the replacement coming tomorrow is worse, I was going to send it back and keep my original.... I hope to god the one I get tomorrow is

ok....
[Nexus 7 General] saadi703:
This is what happens when people RMA for things which can be fixed without RMA. It was becoming a norm on XDA to RMA for any thing you see. I had screen lift issue but I fixed it myself and still using my original nexus 7 because the fear of getting even worse was higher. I was manage to fix the screen lift issue and now my remaining issues are same as every other Nexus 7 owners has.

Anyways, I hope and wish that everything work out fine with you and the way you want it to. Good luck.
[Nexus 7 General] wynand32:
Actually, every document they send us tells us the unit has to be returned by 21 days (it's questionable whether that's from when the replacement order is placed or from when it's received) or we'll be charged. The shipping label we're provided is good for 14 days, so that's really the timeframe that we have for shipping.

It's certainly not 7 days, so I don't know who's told you that. If they charge me after 7 days, I'll simply dispute the charge with my credit card company.
[Nexus 7 General] haloimplant:
It's a shame I'm going to have to get a replacement due to bad audio jack (nothing from right side). Otherwise things seem ok, only slight screen separation that I never would've noticed had I not known to look, but it seems there's still a high chance I'll get hit again with a looser screen, backlight bleed or touch issue.

Overall it looks like the consistency and quality of the hardware is lacking. A whole laundry list of issues ranging from very common (screen separation, touch) to less common (broken audio jack, doa, black lines).

Actually while typing this post I'm noticing some touch issues. Words in Swype will get cut off halfway. I tested the multitouch before but looking for it now I see problems with single touch, it glitches to two touches every now and then. This would also explain why the browser randomly zooms a bit instead of scrolling. I'm not sure there are software fixes for this stuff, is anybody else a bit worried that besides the Tegra 3 and screen res the hardware in this thing is looking like some rushed junk?
[Nexus 7 General] BamAlmighty:
Check you cards, Google is doing something weird.

So my first replacement came with a scratched up bezel so I requested a 2nd replacement which was similar to the first process of Order the replacement and getting a hold on my card. I noticed yesterday the first hold dropped off and the second hold showed up when I placed the 2nd replacement order. BUT today I noticed ANOTHER hold was placed on my card 07/30/2012	GOOGLE *Rovio Mobile GOOGLE.COM/CH CA	249.00.

So now I have a hold from the second replacement I ordered on Monday and this mystery hold that showed up today.

The thing that really puzzles me is why does it say Rovio Mobile, isn't that the makers of Angry Birds?
[Nexus 7 General] TheMach:
I was getting that same error, just call Google support back up. They sent me a new link to the order page and no more error. 855-836-3987.
[Nexus 7 General] Taffowl:
I originally ordered 2 devices on the release day and both suffered the screen lift. I RMA'd and got too more which again had the screen lift problem. Finally on the 5th and 6th device that turned up today one is perfect the other is very very slightly raised but I can live with that. Just need to return the 4 other devices to ASUS now and hope they don't charge me if they consider the screen lift to be not covered by warranty. At the moment I have 800 pound hold on credit card :(

Think I will be taking pictures of each device prior to returning. For 3 of the devices the screens have separated from the device and you can see underneath them, the 4th has a screen lift very slightly above the bezel. When I described the problem to Google they told me to return all 4 so I'll be hacked off if I'm charged in anyway.

Hi,

I am going to great lengths to try to get the Nexus 7 WiFi working with ad-hoc (IBSS) internet connections and have posted some details here on my research:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1787680

However, it seems one of the solutions for the Nexus 7 does not have a required file to fix it manually. It is the "wpa_cli" file. I want to copy it to the system/bin folder so I can test out one of the solutions...

Could someone please post the binary for the "wpa_cli" file?

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holydire:
Hi!

On galaxy s2 it was possible to replace the Samsung lockscreen for an ICS lockscreen / AOSP lockscreen on samsung based roms.

I really want this behavior because some programs that use the android 4.X functionality use their additions to the lockscreen (also support by HTC sense).

im talking about programs like tune-in radio and ZPlayer that have an additional element on the lockscreen (album art & player controls) when playing.

is this somehow possible in samsung roms? is it possible to somehow replace the lockscreen? thanx!
