Are you sure you switched off autobrightness? Or did you experience screen flickering? If there is too much scrolling and zooming you might want a tablet with even higher resolution than the N7.
[Nexus 7 General] :
16GB from Play Store, in middle of returning due to screen lift.

Of course no one really knows the ratio of good:bad units sold :)

I'd love to see Google's global stats on this.
[Nexus 7 General] aindow:
My 16gb is absolutely fine, ordered from the play store. My sister got an 8b from the play store and that was fine too.

Rik.
[Nexus 7 General] Rafiq07:
I bought mine from PC world.. Its in perfect condition
[Nexus 7 General] TheMaverick:
Got my 16GB from Tesco direct last week, no problems whatsoever. Fingers crossed.
[Nexus 7 General] MattSkeet:
There is a video somewhere here it was pretty much the same ... if you go to Google maps and turn your screen brightness to the lowest possible you could see screen "flashing " intermittently every few seconds ... it was a gentle flicker but noticeable ... went to hmv and even it the bright light coming from the shop they could see it ... swapped it and now its practically gone .... I think I see some flicker once in a while but that could be my eyes playing up and just an ocd reaction :)
[Nexus 7 General] otaku888:
UK Play Store. 16GB Returning due to screen lift and screen flicker. Still waiting for Google to get back to me...
[Nexus 7 General] zen123:
I bought 2

PC World - had very slight screen lift on bottom left. No other problems. I cured the screen lift by taking off the back & experimenting with re screwing the screws & now its perfect.

Tesco - perfect out of the box, no problems at all

What I have noticed is the different colour temp of the two screens. One is on the bluer spectrum while the other is is more yellow.
[Nexus 7 General] reudyfam:
Bought the 16gb from Tesco, no issues at all.
[Nexus 7 General] :
Woohoo!

Second device arrived! And another defect! This time intermittent usb connection. Did a comparison to my old device, which I am still waiting for a postage label. Both factory reset to latest JB version, and definitely there.

Let's go for another replacement!
[Nexus 7 General] kingtreelo:
2 16gb units, one bought from google play and the other from ebuyer, not a single fault on either

mum has ordered an 8gig one from play, will report whether that has any problems when it arrives
[Nexus 7 General] anthonyh90:
I got mine from the carphone warehouse in store. Its perfect apart from the screen creaks on the left but its not noticeable unless you press quite hard

UPDATE:

on my device i seem to have sorted my screen creaking issue and the display is now fully flush with the device. i ran stability test app with the cpu+gpu test for 2 hours with a stack of magazines on top to heat up the device an the adhesive for the screen. After this i switched off the device and put back under the magazines for 6 hours for the the device and adhesive to cool before removing. i have now been using the device for around about 4 hours and the creaking hasn't returned
[Nexus 7 General] ManMOuntain:
Ordered via Argos, waited two weeks. It worked fine the first hour but now it's completely dead. Going to have to return it for a replacement and hopefully I'll get a "good one" second time round.
[Nexus 7 General] Harry GT-S5830:
U play store, first wave perfect next day hand delivered. Not thrown.
[Nexus 7 General] anthonyh90:
look near the barcodes at the bottom of the box. thats where it was mentioned on mine.
[Nexus 7 General] basill:
Thanks, but Auto brightness works fine on my phone (HTC desire S) so I don't think I should have to turn it off on a tablet. As for scrolling and zooming I don't think higher res would help With full websites the text is already too small for me to read comfortably, hence the zooming and scrolling.

I think I should either get a larger tablet with high res or give up and get a proper lightweight computer. Preferences so far are Macbook air or This years Asus Zenbook.

Just a heads up for anyone still considering buying a N7.

I bought mine from Tesco last week and I have had absolutely not issues with it. Very happy.
[Nexus 7 General] phillipm:
Another heads up... a colleague got one from Tesco Direct today and it has the screen separation issue...

Jamaro was a lucky one :)
[Nexus 7 General] MattSkeet:
Returned my second n7 to hmv they didn't have any in stock so gave me a refund. Ordered from tesco ... if this one is having issues I wil either never but an Asus product again and will advise ally friends to avoid this **** company or wait for revision maybe they will fix it ....
[Nexus 7 General] dakkie:
Hope mine will be OK,... ordered one troughout ebay.uk, it is sold-out for now,... maybe within 2 weeks it will arrive intact on my doorstep in the Netherlands

i dont want any squeeking, screen liften.. other faulty defects. (i know i know, there are always sicknisses in the beginning of the production)
[Nexus 7 General] jamaro1985:
I was hoping they'd perhaps moved on to a new batch. Guess I was just lucky.
[Nexus 7 General] fastphil:
Got mine today from Tesco direct no problems so far
[Nexus 7 General] stezo2k:
Likewise, got mine with staff discount and voucher for £170

Couldn't be happier, no issues at all
[Nexus 7 General] bball13:
I'm on a trip through the UK on my vacation and planned to pick up a new N7.

At the moment I'm in Glasgow and have already tried some Tesco's, Carphone Warehouse or Curry's but neither had a N7 in Stock unfortunately :(

Does someone know about stores along the motorway to Carlsile (M74) that could still have it in stock?

Most online shops (like Tesco) don't say if it's still in stock in their local stores..
[Nexus 7 General] chewynoodle:
Pre-ordered mine with Currys and has been perfect. I love it. Rooted for USB stick storage - flawless.
[Nexus 7 General] stonebear:
Got mine from Tesco. The first batch went out of stock and I ordered when new stock came in. Seems fine. :)
[Nexus 7 General] ManMOuntain:
I returned the defective tablet I got from Argos two days ago and my new device I ordered from Tesco Direct arrived this morning. No issues with device, running perfectly :)
[Nexus 7 General] czm:
I got mine from Tesco - had it for 5 days now. Haven't had a single issue. Quality seems very good for such a cheap device
[Nexus 7 General] Surfy89:
I have the screen flickering and very bad screen colours si I went to exchange it at Carphone Ware house, but they did not let ne because i could not reproduce the flickering (for some reason it did not at that time ) and i had the demo unit only as a comparison for the colours which was even worse. According to them the colours were fine compared to the demo unit and there was no flickering.. But there is and ive compared my colours to my gf nexus and hers i so much richer. I don't know what to do now. I cant return it nor exchange it... Any suggestions folks?
[Nexus 7 General] MattSkeet:
This will teach you not to buy at cpw. I've made that mistake once and will never buy anything there again ...

However, by law if the device is not to your expectations you have full right to exchange it. If the exchange is not possible than a refund ....

Remember that CPW will do anything to stop you from any exchanges or returns. Just print statutory consumer rights and shove it in their face ...

Also if you have flickering remember that it only appears while connected to WiFi ... I'm guessing you were not connected therefore no flickering was visible ....
[Nexus 7 General] MattSkeet:
Hmv
[Nexus 7 General] Surfy89:
For some reason the flickering is gone now :D. Is there an app that can reproduceor imitate flickering it so I can record a video which I can use as a proof?

One more thing, I wanted to compare the colours to a unit from the shop but they refused to open one since it was sealed (the demo unit was just as worse which also included unresponsive touch screen). Do you think they can open a new unit?
[Windows 8 General] Senzune:
This will probably my most difficult adaptation: The lack of a clock always on screen, and two less important but still very high priority issues, having a view on open apps (preferably Metro too) and notifications - I still wonder what they were thinking, leaving out a notification center of some sorts. So, would it be possible to have a taskbar with such functionality always running in the Metro interface? Whether newly coded or just an adaptation of the present taskbar in the desktop environment? It probably is a question with high hopes, but worth the shot..

Hi,

I try install official rom via flashtool and after install the rom based on CM, but never works. When I go to Settings and network operator for choose manually my operator I got "Error while searching for network"...

This is really important for me. Anybody can help me?

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] AxL360:
Hello guys, I'll describe my situation here before getting dirty with the phone:

Phone: Xperia Neo MT15i

Android Version: 4.0.4 (Via PC Companion)

V. Kernel: Stock 2.6.329-perf compilation 4.1.B.0.431

A nice detail here, I had signal :o

The mobile was bought "free", I had different SIMs from different companies and that worked nice.

I unlocked the bootloader via the official way from the sony web, it went well. (I read in some posts that I lost my DRM, it scares the s**t out of me because I really don't know what is that)

Then I entered fastboot and type fastboot boot boot.img, this boot.img is the NeoRecovery.img, which contains CWM.

Then i insalled de super user.zip for beeing root, AND THAT'S IT.

Now, I have my rooted 4.0.4 with NO SIGNAL.

I insert my PIN code, then I get prompted with the Language selection menu, and then the following message:

Please insert SIM card and restart your phone

All this steps OVER AND OVER AGAIN

(I've tried with 3 different SIMs, and I can't even register in my network)

I've searched a lot, and don't know what to do here. Some help would be nice! :)

Thanks!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Not sure about no signal problem, but interesting is that you get setup wizard every time, if I understood you ok.

Go to settings->backup&reset-> and do factory reset, it will wipe your data, so make backup.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] AxL360:
Hello Madfysh, I wiped my data a few times (also from CWM) and still nothing :(

The worst part is that now PCC won't fix my device, so I don't know where to head next.

Should I try a custom kernel..? Should I re-lock my bootloader (how?) and trying from PCC?

Thanks!

EDIT: After some loops, I decided to flash my phone with the MT15_4.1.B.0.431_Global.ftf file using flashtool verison 0.9.0.0, I think that contains the ROM only, because the kernel that I'm using is still the same. Nothing new I'm afraid :(
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
well, you can relock it, and use PCC. Always good step in solving the problems, first try with stock reflash, then move on :)

How to relock, you can find in Neo V dev section, sticky thread.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] AxL360:
Many thanks for the information, I'm going to try it right now.

Excuse me for asking but do you know if re-locking may cause brick / not entering fastboot again / not beeing able to unlock again?

Thanks! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
I didn't hear that happened to someone.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] AxL360:
Well finally I got it working, re-locking the bootloader did the trick.

Thanks Madfysh you're awesome. :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
Interesting..

Flashing .ftf didn't help, but re-locking did, right?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] viseshprasad:
isnt relocking done by flashing ftf alone?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
If that was toward me, by .ftf i meant on entire .ftf which he mentioned in his post, not on the relock .ftf.

I flashed paranoid android jelly bean today and it works great, except it says that i have a damaged usb storage. thats not true, it has no problem on my pc, i also scanned it, and it had no problem with ics. another jb rom i flashed a few days ago, not paranoid, also gave me damaged usb storage. i dont understand and dont know what to do. i also tried to format it from android but it doesnt do anything. can someone help?

also, if someone can tell me how I can make the softkeys smaller without changing the whole paranoid config, especially not making the status bar very small, i would really appreciate it. thanks

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mullicious:
Hey, I have SwitchProWidget (Used it since my HTC Hero, Desire HD, S2 and now my S3.), and many other applications/widgets that lock the screen without the need for pressing the actual power button, however; upon pressing it, it turns the screen off, then straight back on again. The respective apps are all Device Administrators with the permission to lock the screen, and it worked on my S2. I've tried numerous custom ROM's, and It's the same on all of them.

Anyone have any advice? It's driving me nuts, as I've got a chipped bone in my right thumb, and pressing it (With the additional hardship of an Otterbox Commuter case) is not only tedious, but physically painful.

I really hope someone can shed some light, and/or help me fix it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mullicious:
Anyone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NZDroidDev:
What version of Android did you have on your S2? I suspect it may be an issue with the app itself. I have never used a screen lock widget, but it sounds like the widget is putting the screen off, but is either immediately waking it again or something else is waking it again. I would suggest reporting a bug via the play store to the app dev.

Thanks to croniccorey for offering the final and working solution

I have left my previous posts in quote boxes so people can follow my processes and steps below.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] xanda143:
Ok the radio is fine and its a good thing u have a non perfected spl maintain that at all times!!!.now I want to confirm u dont have magic 1.2 and dont have the 3mm head phone Jack which u shouldn't what I advise is that u find a post here with a diff hboot/spl with a non perfect spl and try to flash that but before u do any of that try to see if u have a correct kernel so download a compatible rom and a package named anykernel which choosea kernel for u(all this can be found here try cronmod rom search here for that). So again try to see if you have a good kernel for your 32b device. Try flashing a rom with instructions for that here(try cronmod) and if that disnt work try anoyher Non perfected spl flashing via fastboot.

PLEASE THIS IS JUST A GUID LINE READ THE THREADS CAREFULLY
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EarthBoundX5:
First off, thanks alot for the response; I'm very surprised that it took only 12 hours to get a response on a legacy device.

To confirm, I'm pretty sure I'm not 1.2, as I have the 32B platform (isn't 1.2 only 32A?), and yes, I have NO head phone jack at all.

Anyways, I have found the various other hboot/spl to flash; but I was under the impression the best choice was to go with 1.33.2010 (which I did); what would be the next choice to try? 1.33.2005? 1.33.0013d?

For anykernal; would this be the right direction to be heading? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1641521&highlight=anykernel

Is cronmod the prefered choice for the myTouch 3G over cyanogenmod? Or rather is gingerbread better than froyo for the mytouch? I havn't yet flashed a rom since I only just got the SPL flashed and thats when this boot hanging occured. I had planned to flash the rom via ROM Manager; but was unable to get past the boot screen. Would the best idea be to just flash the rom using Recovery directly and go from there?

EDIT: After reading the prerequisites for cronmod...I'm a bit concerned; should I not have 1.33.2010 if I'm 32B?!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EarthBoundX5:
bump - updated OP with new issue rather than making a new thread as it still follows along with the same basic problem of booting
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] croniccorey:
Change your recovery or it will not work
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] EarthBoundX5:
spl/radio and recovery were answered here

ext type as in fs? ext4.

unless cmtd is magically enabled by default, i'm not using it :laugh:

I'll try with cwm 2.5.0.7 then; i was just looking for a cwm that supported partitioning the sd card (even if I don't use it). Why exactly would the recovery not allow me to boot CronMod? I was kinda hoping to have 5.0.2.8, but its not a major issue. What is your status on building one for 32B?

Oh, and of course, thanks for the response. I'll post back once I've tried using 2.5.0.7 instead; report changes (fixes/not fixed)

Well fantastic, nothing I'm flashing is working...always gives me "FAILED (remote: signature verify fail)" during "(bootloader) signature checking..." Starting to think I should not have but 1.33.0013d on....
