[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BostonDan2:
I've been holding off on purchasing the early batches of Nexus 7 due to the quality issues which some are having. I think I'm getting set to move forward.

Does anyone know if Asus has started shipping August manufacturing batches?

If yes, will you please share where you purchased and quality of your Nexus 7?

Paid for my Nexus 7 on July 31st from Play Store, got it on 8/6, no screen lift, all sensors working, speaker sounds fine (didn't test headphone jack yet), NFC works, overall everything seems fine.

Don't let the few people with problems hold you back. Out of the tens of thousands (maybe more) of people that own this device on this forum. Only like maybe 50 have had some type of problem. It most likely won't happen to you.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirscrubsalot:
I honestly would love to know how best to inquire or determine this - I actually called google twice on this, but it's understandable that they wouldn't know or have an answer to such an odd (yet relevant to us enthusiasts) on that. They were honest and are totally aware of the hardware issues to both the screen flicker and lift (popping sound on the left side).

How can you tell? e.g. CHECK NUMBER? I'm not sure if that is even one way to fully say... purchased mine from walmart and it does have the lifting issue, but I'm not totally bothered by it to immediately return - super easy to do there (plus I have friends in customer service :) ).

For what it's worth, my check number was 1047. I am sure such things were discussed in the multitude of.defects posts, and I was actually going to search a start a new post in how best we could figure out newer (hardware issues corrected) batches...

Can the OP retitle the thread on that perhaps; rather than stating August batches - for I still doubt that it's an actively regulated process for such a short notice - figure by Sep/Oct Asus+Google will abide by and solve these problems better.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wynand32:
Note that those units with serial numbers starting C80 will have been built in August, as opposed to C70 units built in July. Also, there's absolutely no guarantee that being built in August means that any issues have been resolved--new builds could have been injected into production in July, later in August, or September, or whenever.

For those folks who bought theirs in August, what do your serial numbers start with?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4redstars:
Bought my 7 on July 14th at Sam's Club...it's in perfect shape. Just buy one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
The Manufacturers Date is located on the OUTSIDE of the box part of the SSN number.

Not to be confused with the electronic serial number (Found via Settings > About Tablet > Status ... "Serial Number")

The SSN number is a series of letters and numbers but the first 4 are significant with regards to the mfg info...

C Is the YEAR

7 Is the Month it was made

0 Not sure what this mean

K is for the hardware revision

So a unit mfg'd in August, it would have C8?? as the starting SSN number.

It might be stamped in the inside of the unit, but it is on the outside of the box that the unit comes with along with a number of other numbers.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BostonDan2:
Agree, there is no guarantee that problems have been fixed in later builds, but i am hoping that Asus/Google are taking action to reduce returns and increase overall quality on an ongoing basis.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Midnitte:
Any chance you get the $25 play store gift card when you buy it from retail like sam's club?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] po96od:
I tend to think it's too soon for Asus to have made serious changes to their manufacturing process. Thing's only been in people's hands generating defect reports for a few weeks. September's batches, maybe... Personally, I'm about to return my third Nexus. First from Google Play had screen lift; replacement had worse screen lift plus a dead pixel. Today I picked one up from a local Wal-Mart, only to find it had worse screen lift than either of the other two. I'm giving up for now, maybe try again the middle of next month.

I'm on my third defective nexus 7. Guess I have the worst luck in the world. Lots of other people are in the situation.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirscrubsalot:
update/edit to a presumably long thread to be - my SSN begins with C60K BC2XXXX5 - who knows if a production date can be figured from a P/N or SSN or CSSN or Check Number determinant ??? It would be nice to hear from Asus on that aspect - perhaps someone may have called/talked to them?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikiksaz:
c70 here and all is perfect so far.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toast95135:
I have a C60 from Walmart and I bought my girlfriend one from Gamestop which is a C70. I checked hers for defects before sending it to her.

Mine had some touch issues when first setting it up but has been fine since, so I think it's software related and hers had no issues. Her screen is slightly warmer then mine. Neither have dead or stuck pixels. Mine has zero screen lift, hers has very minor screen lift. Other then that they're the same.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbrechin:
Ordered mine July 27 from Currys UK

Received Aug 9th.

All okay so far looks and feels very nice.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leoniedelt:
C60 here from Google Play, bought a week and a half ago. Very tiny bit of screen lift. I ignore it, it affects nothing.

got a gel case goes around it, no problem.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khalids19:
anyone bought from B&H 16GB with no single problems????? just asking....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mi7chy:
The issues are random as you can get a good or bad unit within SSN within 200 apart. With that said my 2nd unit from B&H had screen flicker. 1st one from Staples and 3rd from MacMall are fine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillipm:
Just bought my 3rd one and it has huge screen separation, worst one I have had...

Starting to think it is time to give up and wait for something else?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BostonDan2:
Bumping this. Has anyone seen a nexus 7 with C8, August manufacturing date?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwf:
Had a C6, purchased from Canada Computers. Was perfect until the speaker died after 30 days. Sent to Asus for RMA and they're sending a replacement. Will let you know the SSN, when I get it.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriot720:
I received a c8 and I have had zero problems so far.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Ive seen a couple ppl say they have good C8's but no hard picture proof, if you guys have one that's good take a pic of your box its not rocket science to blur out the rest of your serial, let's see a left side glass shot, honestly having both C6 and 7 now I highly doubt they changed anything prob same luck getting one that's good as before
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
Although a left side shot would be helpful, I'm a fan of checking from the right. It's easier to spot the slightest amount of lift that way.

So if you are willing to photograph your Nexus for us, please snap one of the horizon test as well.

Hold the device with the right side facing you. Look across the display and use the left bezel as a silver horizon line. If the black display is higher at any point, you'll be able to see it interrupt that silver line.

Here is an example of a perfectly flush display, looking across the device from the right side.

Got mine last thursday, Headphone socket doesn't work

Mine is a C70K model (July build) i believe, Not really a major issue but I am still going to return it as i need the headphone socket to work,

Other than that, No problems with it.

I am not the developer of this, or am i affiliated with the developer. A thread was made in the shift section letting everyone know about it so i figured id make us one so you guys can see/try it out. Your going to need to go the the original OP for the downloads and to read about it and learn how to use it. But it does backups from terminal rather than recovery. anyways check it out here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1620255

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kunski:
I just got my brand new SGS3 and while surfing the internet, I realized that when using google search, the recent/popular search suggestions below do not work.I can click them, but once clicked nothing happens. :rolleyes: It's suppose to redirect me to the new search. Has anyone experienced the same thing when using google search on the SGS3?

This only occurs when I search directly form google.com. Bing and yahoo searches work fine however. The suggestions below their respective search boxes can be clicked and it redirects fine.

Probably the stock browser is at fault? It's annoying to have to type the entire search since the suggestions cannot be clicked... anyone think of why it's only google.com that has this problem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.p:
Mine does the same but there's an arrow on the right side you can click and it fills in the search bar...still very annoying cause I always end up hitting the phrase first instead of the arrow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XoomZoom:
That's very strange. I've never had that problem and I've used 3 different browsers including stock. If you really want to use the stock browser and you're rooted try flashing GApps on it which may fix it, or just try a different browser like Chrome.

you cant add overclock settings but you can install overclock module and with an app like setcpu control it.

I really want to learn how Android works. I want to be able to build Android from source, and compile Roms. The goodies. But anytime I try, it's end up horribly. I just want to know where to start! Should I make a stock based Rom, and learn how to tweak it out? Should I buy a certain book, or read some threads! I don't know Xo I really want to become a Dev. Android is my life, and I want to be able to do what Strapped, XMC, and Tbalden do. Any tips are good tips. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] WeekendsR2Short:
I sure do wish you all the luck in the world Agent. And you certainly want to fashion yourself after three mighty fine developers too. I've had some of those same desires myself after seeing what someone that knows their stuff can do. I had so much trouble with HS Spanish and a few AutoCad Lisp routines that I can't even imagine biting off C++ or some of the other programming languages! :o

Hell Yeah, I'm considering taking classes at the local community college for Java. Apparently it's useful for learning Android. I go to a strictly business college. So I can't learn anything related to Android.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
OK, so I have an Idea. I want to do what CM said, and learn the basic. I'm going to use Undeads Sense 3.0 Port as a base, and theme it to Sense 4.0. Remove the Bulletproof settings, and push over another tweak app. I want to make it as fast as possible, and have great battery. I always felt Sense 3.0 was the smoothest Sense rom we ever got. Zero Hickups, and No Lag. I'm going to at least do it on a personal level. Try to get a hold of Undead (he's IP Banned on XDA & Rootz), but it may be hard. Maybe even try and get the Amaze Camera Mod working. Just simple, basic things. Once I get used to the waters, I'll try something bigger. Like Paranoid Android. :D
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] AgentCherryColla:
I just found an Interesting guide about porting any Sense rom, to any Sense Phone. Pssshh, could you image Sense 2.1 on our phone. That would be sweet. The guide is boosted to be made for the most simplest of minds. So I feel I can take extreme advantage of it.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Man, i'll tell ya - if you had to pick the one thing someone would do to take a step into learning to bend android to your will, installing linux is the best reply possible.

Windows is great to get your feet wet, and can manage some things more easily - frilly stuff, eye candy type details.

If you want to talk about experiencing the thrilling joys of success all that invested effort brings - doing so on a linux box is so much more rewarding then on a windows box.

Definitely see about getting a second monitor if you can swing it. Working with two display panels more then doubles your productivity. You can have a tutorial on one screen and be following along on the other.

That aside, one reason the linux box is so much more rewarding is because of the range of things you can mess with.

You can't work with a kernel in windows. Already right there the most important part of the ROM is off limits to you in a windows box. (as I sit here typing this on windows - mind you.)

Another reason linux is so sweet to work on for coding android is that they speak the same language. Writing code is quicker and easier, connecting the device happens more seamlessly and swiftly.

All these little things add up to save you time.

...and time is your greatest hindrance. It slips by all too quickly and then you are obligated to walk away and do something else. So being able to squeeze more work into less time is the consistent refinement of what you know.

Rarely do you learn how to do something the most efficient way on your own, and really that is the heart of open source. You can see how someone else did something, and learn from how they got there.

I've communicated with people I couldn't speak the language of through code, sending changes back and forth without any written correspondence.

To be able to explain the various joys and experiences learning computer coding has brought me would be impossible. There is so much intangible awesomeness that comes from investing time into learning all of this.

Especially since cell phones are so popular and mobile computing is so easy any more. Being able to bend the device in your hand precisely to your will is ever becoming a more important skill to have.

For those wanting to invest that time into what brings us all here collectively, the rewards really are beyond what you would think starting out.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
As much as I wanna delv into this as ACC, I simply have no time haha. However, learning this now will probably help me in the future, so why not.

At the very least I'll finally know what you guys are talking about in the dev section lol.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] karri0n:
This. Install Linux, learn to love it, and learn to customize it. A big part of setting linux up the way you want involves working in a command line, troubleshooting when errors come up, building, and compiling. The time you spend troubleshooting and customizing everything on your linux box will familiarize you with all the commands, shortcuts, quirks, and understanding of why this does that in a linux environment, and will help you to no end.

I've been also wondering about this. Would it be worth it to take classes on learning android? I've read a few threads telling people about books to read to get started. I want to get into building apps for businesses and make money off them. I'm thinking if I had a degree in mobile development I'd prob be more likely to be hired... I don't really know anything about programming right now... I been messing around customizing/theming other devs Roms to the way I want it to look. I really want to dig deeper into this...

[General Questions and Answers] Proho:
Hey, everyone. I just joined these forums because it seems to be a very large network. I am thinking about purchasing a smart phone. I have two options as of now, and those are the G2X and the G2. I don't care if it has a physical keyboard or if its touchscreen, as long as it works fine, I don't care. Specs-wise, I LOVE the G2X, it seems like a nice budget phone. After doing minimal research, I came across countless threads in various forums of G2X users complaining that they were getting overheated batteries, two crashes a day, random reboots, etc.

These threads were from a while ago, so I was wondering if they found a solution to this.. I know a little about rooting and custom ROM's, and I will probably do that, and get ICS on my G2x/G2. I love the looks of the G2X and how it works, etc. The only problem is I don't want it to crash. I then started looking at the G2.

I like the G2 as well, but its a VERY old phone. It still has 4G, but I am a little concerned about the hinge. The battery life seems great and all as well..

Bottom line is that both phones are very great. I prefer the G2X since it is newer, faster, and has a lot more features. Only problem is that people KEEP saying that it crashes or that LG sucks. I was thinking about picking up a used phone off of Ebay or whatever.. Can you guys tell me what you think? I REALLY want the G2x, but if its gonna crash, I will go with the G2. If the solution to the problem on the G2X is as simple as rooting the phone and installing CM9, I will go for it.. PLEASE REPLY!

Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] AgentCherryColla:
It depends on what you need. I personally like the G2X, I have no idea why. I've rooted, and installed CM9 on many G2X's. I like the screen, and it's pretty speedy. But the crashes? I can't say it's ever happened to me. It's a nice budget phone, and does daily task perfectly.

The G2 has well over 100 Roms, and has a huge Dev Team. It's been worked on by so many people. The design is classic, the speed is wonderful for a single core phone. It's a great phone, with many great things. This phone showed off how amazing HTC was (Now they suck). There's a lot of Mods, and Kernels to make battery last all day easy. I don't know what else to say, outside its a good phone.
