[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaglecat:
I had one with screen raise ... otherwise great. I don't want the hassle of endless refund cycles.

So, for new (or recent) orders from the Play store which I am assuming is the fastest clearing channel... do they still have the screen lift problem.

i.e. has the hardware been rev'd yet ? Anyone with a recent delivery know....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
I just got my replacement today. I don't want to speak too soon but it's been out of the box for about 2 hrs and hey it looks fine right now. I'm gonna charge it and use it a little and see if anything pops up so to say and I'll update later tonight.

Edit: I wish there was a way to tell the hardware revision if there is one at all. I might crack these both open before I send my other one back and see if I can spot any differences.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
I don't consider the screen lift an issue so I would have to say you have been good since day one. Other than that I haven't heard anything on "New batches" being released.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokesKB:
Not sure how its NOT and issue. Considering if the screen lifts to much the tablet wont work correctly. That being said I have got my replacement and I have a feeling its going to do the same thing. If you look down the sides of the tablet you will notice where the glass doesnt connect to the case. Thats where the screen is going to lift and the way this one looks its going to be just a matter of time before the screen lifts.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
I have had the screen lift since day one and have no issues since. Don't understand how a slim screen lift is going to bork the device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
Got my second unit Wednesday. It has screen lift as well.

I would definitely advise against buying retail, but I think Google can be trusted. I'm just going to hold onto this defective one for a month or two. Then I'll ask for a replacement.

No regrets, although I was pretty miffed about opening a new one with the same flaw when it happened.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokesKB:
Did I say it would bork the device....no. If you want to use it with the screen lift good for you.

Mine has a tiny irrelevant bulge...should I return it guys oh noes it isn't perfect :( ;(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaglecat:
Guys... we are getting off topic. The question is not whether the screen lift is an issue to some (and not others).. but when will the hardware be rev'd so that the screen is flat.

a) Never (not considered an issue).

b) Soon - but still not yet shipping.

c) New ones are now coming in with flush screens.

Not gonna make this a poll.

Just want to know if those who have taken recent delivery have got flush screens....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
i got a cherry 87 buick I would like to sell you

Maybe your right, my touchscreen stopped working after use and the screen lift. I guess I should have kept it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
I bought mine retail from Office Depot on 7/17 and haven't had a single problem with it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charco83:
In the UK I'm waiting until they physically have them in the stores. Right now it tends to be buy online and pick up in store a couple of days later. I got one last Friday from Tesco Direct and it had the screen-lift (this IS a fault) so took it straight back. I'd rather be taking back and getting a replacement straight away rather than waiting 2-3 days...or 10 days and counting with the crappy service offered by Google :mad:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaglecat:
Careful with buying in store. It may not be considered a fault (for the reasons expressed elsewhere in this thread) and if you do not have UK DSR law then you may not be able (allowed) to make a return. I wouldn't fancy my chances in CPW or Currys of doing a return if the device is functioning (but just not quite flush).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] charco83:
Most UK retailers allow you to return for simply not liking the product. In Tesco the guy told me it didn't matter if it was faulty as it was within their X days return. They'll be selling them in store in a couple of weeks apparently.

tribestos, fail to see how OCD relates to finding a fault on a piece of hardware. It's not like people are obsessively looking for faults. The screen isn't supposed to lift but it does. That's a design flaw.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaglecat:
So somebody must be taking the hit for all the returns... is it the retailer or do they just return the units back to the manufacturer and not pay for the duff ones ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
The replacement 7s poll has gotten sunnier, although people are voting prematurely. Also, it's not public, but I don't think many would tamper with it.

Although I have not seen a unit without this defect, there are at least a few posters there who should know exactly what to look for and haven't found any separation in their replacement whatsoever. That's a good sign, and that poll was pretty ugly last Wednesday, so the vast majority of respondents since then have been ticking perfect.

As for when this flaw will be officially dealt with, probably never. But don't hold that against Google. They can make right by rooting out the manufacturing flaw and dealing with unsatisfied customers on an individual basis. No need for any headlines.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
Got my first Nexus 7 on the 17th. I was somewhat unhappy with how washed out the colors were. Also when I play a video the screen gets even more washed out for a short period of time. Generally just looks unsatisfactory. Also I have a row of pixels that sometimes flickers.

On the 24th I got my replacement Nexus 7. It was also washed out looking, had the same video playback issue. And the glass was raise on the left side if I held it there the screen would distort slightly.

I called Google today to get a feel on if I should try a second replacement or get a refund. The lady at Google said that Google has the new batch in now and says it has fixed the issues the first batch had with raised glass, pixel issues, and color quality.

So I'm doing a second RMA now. She's even letting me RMA the second device while I still have my first device (was worried I'd need to send that back before starting the second RMA).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deaglecat:
Wow that is brilliant news... assuming that the CS adviser was being honest.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TokesKB:
You have that choice. But when I spend my money on something I expect it to be built w/o flaws. Hope the glass dont fall out on you when the screws get to lose! Oh you wont care tho it will still be irrelevant right?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
Yeah, I hope she wasn't blowing smoke up my butt. That happens too. But I figure with the 16GB Nexus 7 suddenly returning to the Play store and the CS telling me this, it's hopefully correct.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
Can you do this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
As far as I can tell from reading a LOT of these posts - there is no screen lift issue.

Lay a metal straightedge on your glass - you will find it flat.

The flexy plastic bezel does dip a bit on the left side, making it look like a lifted screen. Mine does that.

But if you folks feel better returning your tablet for what is not a defect - be my guest.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
You said if the screen lifts too much the tablet will not work correctly thus broking the device... Last I will mention of the subject to keep the thread on topic.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yanksrock1000:
When the left side is tapped, a click sound is made. Even if it isn't screen lift, and its a plastic "dip", how is this not a defect?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ravynmagi:
Argh, I hate the "Thanks" button is right next to the "Quote" button, didn't mean to thank you.

I wanted to ask if you are crazy or just being sarcastic?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tribestros:
So correct.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tameracingdriver:
Mine did seem to have a bit of "screen lift" but it took me several attempts to actually notice it in the first place. I've pressed down the left edge and for now at least, it seems to be flush... no doubt it will come back...

BUT... the thing works, so I'll just carry on using it, as it was barely noticeable TBH. If it gets worse, it'll be covered by warranty, and by then, there'll be a batch without the "fault", assuming it is a fault.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
He is trolling
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NavySpark:
I think a few people are confused by the "screen" lift issue. Mine is not the screws, as i have checked them but the adhesive that holds the screen to the top half. It has gotten to the point where a good 30% of the screen feels "lifted" and creaks. I should be getting my replacement from Gamestop next week. If it doesn't fix the issue i might just hold off for now.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSilverStig:
Ok 24 hours later with the replacement unit and everything appears to be better. I don't know why people accept a factory defect its obviously a design flaw if my first one had it, my dads has it and now my replacement doesn't. I do agree with the post about the silver plastic being partially to blame as I remember mine being a little bent down exaggerating the effect. One thing that is interesting is that the only sound I can hear if I push on the left side of the device is the piece of plastic flexing inside the device that has the infamous foam strip attached to it. Makes me wonder why its there, and really makes me want to take it out.

I'll be picking up my 4th from Staples today. They didn't have them in stock for a week and a half. Now a couple stores have received a few of the tablets. It will probably have the same problem. But I wanted to try one last time before I leave for vacation on Friday.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] espionage724:
I probably wouldn't accept a factory defect either, however there is the chance the next tablet you receive could be worse :/ Then in a worse-case situation, you could end up like that guy who apparently had to return his Nexus 7 6 times (there's a thread somewhere)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClanUrdnot:
But that begs another question, why accept any defects at all? Why do people feel they must have this tablet right now, even if it has clear defects? Just because it's a Nexus?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JaSauders:
What's wrong with retail? I called Wal-Mart yesterday and the guy I spoke to said they JUST got them in. Buying retail at a place like Wal-Mart allows for significantly quicker in-person replacements (assuming they have the stock). Since I knew they had 4 on the shelf, I could go right down the line if I had to. Fortunately, the 1st one was a winner. :good:

Never know... the fact that those stores were sold out for a while and very recently got some in might suggest *if* Google had some crazy fast shipping to the B&M stores, that might be wave 2. No? At any rate, like I said above, mine from Wal-Mart seems pretty flawless.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrianDigital:
Only been a couple of.days with my second unit. No screen lift or issues so far with touch screen.

The left side is dead flush with plastic rim, right side is slightly below it. I can only assume that this was a fixed unit. So hopefully should be all good now
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyijedi:
With all due respect, you are speaking directly out of your ass. The screen lift issue is real. There are plenty of videos posted showing it. Now, if you want to argue that not all units have the screen lift issue, as some have suggested, be my guest. But you sound like an ignorant tool by stating that the screen lift issue does not exist.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haskhim58:
No issues

Bought mine at Staples July 15 no issues at all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slickie88:
For what it's worth, I just got my replacement N7 from Play store and it has zero screen lift. The first one (also from Play) had just the barest amount on the right side, but wasn't enough to warrant a return in my opinion. We'll see if the screen fit holds up.
[Streak 5 General] Jothay:
What is the current firmware/rom available for Streak Pro (Standard or Custom) and where can I get them?

I have the Streak Pro with the current install, which has a problem with sending/recieving MMS messages (it cant ><).

Android: 2.3.5

Baseband: MILLM1A106100-World Wide-Dell

Kernel: 2.6.35.11-perf+ cme@androidbs-desktop #1

OEM: MILLM1A106100

Build: 061-World Wide-Dell
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Dell Streak Pro Official roms -XDA wiki

What was the original rom? I dont know if 061 was even available preinstalled, afaik it's a leak.

068 is the latest EMobile rom and

080 is the latest Softbank rom.

I dont even know the version number for the latest Yi rom as I need a brave volunteer to install it/assist in getting info.

068/080 are patch updates, which means you need the original rom to install them, and the original roms havnt leaked in a usable maner.

(I would also attempt to port CWM and decrypt the 068/080 updates and many other things if I had access to a skilled volunteer)

TL;DR: you cant upgrade in any direction except to Yi for the time being, unless you want to use an earlier rom.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mogendroid:
Please someone help!

I've tried a couple of ROMs on my Galaxy S3 i9300, and the one I took a shine to was the Foxhound 1.4.

Love everything about it but I cant seem to get the Allshare Cast function to work.

I have the dongle, and the phone connects, but after a few seconds it disconnects again.

This happens on every ROM i try.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Before I rooted my phone and it was completely stock, I did not have the Allshare Cast function in settings.

This has arrived after an update from Samsung, but since I'm on root and custom ROM i never got this update.

May this be why it dont work?

My girlfriend has stock unrooted S3 and the Allshare Cast works perfectly.

Wonder if I have to unroot my phone, update it from Samsung, then do it all over again...?!

Hope someone can help me.. Drives me insane :P

[General Questions and Answers] brokenAndroid93:
So I tried making a nandroid backup today and it said it failed to make a backup image of my data. So I have a titanium backup as well of all my apps, so if I have that do I necessarily need a nandroid backup as well?
[General Questions and Answers] thelazt16:
It's your choice

nandroid backup is a backup of all data in internal storage so it includes the rom but if you only backup with titanium backup, it will only backup your apps and data

if you want to try other rom you can use nandroid backup to restore to previous rom if you like the previous rom than the newer

and if you want to change rom and doesn't think to change to previous rom you don't need to do nandroid back you can use titanium backup

and don't forget to have enough space in sdcard, nandroid backup use about 300+ MB storage
[Motorola Photon 4G] azguy90:
Ok, last weekend I wanted to go all out and unlock my MoPho and install an ICS build (I had previously only rooted it). Everything went well and I got Jokersax 0.7.1 installed; there was only one problem, no WiFi. I tried several trouble shooting steps and couldn't get it to work, so I re-flashed with 0.7.0 and then I had WiFi....but no phone service.

I then saw the post for the CDMA fix and tried: Flashing twice, nothing; Flashing 0.3.1 and then flashing 0.7.1, still nothing. I tried modifying the build file, but the only way I could get that to work was to unzip the file, modify it, save it, then re-zip it...and then it wouldn't install (when I tried to modify it on the phone it says read only file, and when I copy the file to my computer and modify it, it won't let me replace the file on the phone).

The phone is currently functioning on 0.3.1 (with WiFi and phone), but a lot of the features in the menus don't work in this version.

I would really like to get one of the newer builds running, AND have WiFi and be able to use my phone...anyone have any ideas?

PS I love ICS on this phone; it's like having a whole new phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Neva Eva Forget 1984:
I think you have to clean you cache's and whatnot, and do a fresh install, not be coming from another rom. Read about it in the development area of the forum...
[Motorola Photon 4G] azguy90:
Oh, I didn't mention that, but I did all of the cache wipe, factory reset etc (I was following an install guide) when I first installed, and also when I tried to reinstall. I also tried installing 0.3.1 then rebooting and installing latest version (one recommended fix), which didn't work either.

Most of the threads I have found are a little old, so I was hoping someone had a new "fix" to try.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ryan8r:

[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
Hello! Okay, I'm assuming you're on sprint, meaning you obviously want cdma. .7.1 doesn't have working wifi. As of .7.0 you don't need 3.1 first. I would suggest trying the following...

Download .7.0 cdma version. Make two copies.

Download 7zip

Right click one rom, choose 7zip and open.

Browse to the buildprop, right click, click edit.

Find the default network portion, make sure the value is 7 and ensure it doesn't have a pound sign in front of that line.

Save the file and hit ok when it prompts you if you wanna save the changes to the zip.

Do the same with the other one except make the value 4.

Throw both of em on your sdcard.

Wipe cache, system, data, dalvik, then flash the value 7 one first.

Boot up, see if everything is peachy (it should be)

If that doesn't work wipe everything again and try the 4 value one. Let me know what happens for ya.

Also, go into dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* and make sure the network type is set to cdma auto prl. For whatever reason sometimes its not. It'll take a reboot to reflect that change, though.

[Droid X General] DivinityCycle:
So, I've got a Droid X I am planning on giving over to a friend of mine. Its too old and I'm too busy to bother much with selling it, plus he's a good guy and his current phone is like the saddest thing ever (a half broken ZTE piece of garbage held together with tape and running like Android 1.6). I haven't messed with the Droid X in over a year, and because of its locked bootloader, I know its somewhat complicated, with "2nd init" ROMs and the like.

At this point I'm not too sure what I'm looking at with it. I goofed around last night and got it somewhat up to date, with an AOKP-ICS ROM on it. It was already rooted and I have CWM on it as well, so its not a bad starting point.

The phone doesn't have any data / phone plan attached to it at all, which is usually OK in the short term since I can get it on WiFi, but now the WiFi just isn't working. I can SCAN for WiFi networks, but when attempting to join any, the phone immediately gets kicked back off the network.

Tested it on like 3 different networks. What's weird is it was working fine last night.

I'm showing a Baseband Version of BP_C_01.09.13P and a Kernel Version of 2.6.32.9 built on August 20th, 2011.

Build version says IMM761.

Mod Version says aokp_shadow_build-39,

The CWM I have installed on the phone is only 2.5.0.8! That seems really old, but again I don't wanna update it if it'll break things :P

I would like to update it as much as I can but I know I need to be careful so as to avoid breaking things.

Any advice is appreciated. I planned on putting the most functional / stable ICS ROM I could find onto it, which I would imagine is a matter of some debate. Is there some really good ROM I should look at, like a "final" build of CM9 or AOKP for this phone?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
I would start off by SBFing back to .602, just to get a clean start and root.

Check that everything is working then flash Recovery Using Droid 2 Bootstrapper.

I don't believe there are many Ice Cream Sandwich ROMs that are fully working.

I highly recommend Vortex Reloaded (VXR), though. It is a fully working Gingerbread ROM with excellent battery life.

From there, you can update ClockworkMod Recovery to the latest version using ROM manager.
