Yea. They talk about fragmentation on Androids but its starting to happen with Apple. It is inevitable with time. The bad thing with Apple is they can't settle on a single resolution. Each device has a special resolution that requires a separate app made for it.

I think the iPad 3 is fine for 10" for a while. So a 7" would be the only way to go. Devices can only get better so far so fast. I think if they set it up to alternate a 7" one year and a 10" the next. Space things out. Heaven forbid leave the resolutions alone. The resolution on the iPad 3 is just pure stupid for a 10" screen. They need to find a standard among themselves and stick with it.
[Nexus 7 General] osi13:
I realize that this statement is essentially unrelated to the topic, but I'm surprised that Asus is having problems with hardware. I'm even more surprised that there are no widespread problems with iPhones, and iPads. I purchased 15 Foxconn motherboards in 2009 for a client, to meet a price point, and 8 of them were either DOA, or dead within a month. My client was mad beyond belief, and everything was out of my control.

Anyway, I know a motherboard is not a complete system like the Nexus 7, but I've never had issues with Asus motherboards, and I've bought at least 20 over the years. I vowed to never purchase anything from Foxconn after that fiasco. I'm sure Apple is putting a lot of pressure on Foxconn to get things right. Anyway, I'm just surprised that Foxconn has matured into a reputable company -- I've heard about many problems over time. I would never consider an iPad, especially with that stupid resolution, and ridiculous price. I'm still considering the Nexus 7. I doubt that these minute issues are worth complaining about.

The NX7 costs AUD299 and since the AUD buys US1.05 it is true enough to state it costs nearly 300 bucks ...100 more than in the USA.

I have 2 N7's... One purchased from staples and the other from walmart. Both are perfect, no issues at all. I did take the back cover off and check the screws, no loose ones. I just checked the box and both devices are from the c60 batch. I've done the pixel tests, I've had my brightness low for days to see if I could see flicker, nothing. I check the screen for lift like a crackhead.... It's been about a month since I bought the one from staples and about 2 weeks for the walmart one. Loving both, perfect, N7's :)

Electronics break. Period. It is what it is and it ain't what it ain't. I've owned two nexus 7 and both have been great. So what does that mean?
[Nexus 7 General] julien.me:
Even with the worst screen lift and worst light bleed possible, I would never go for an iOS device, ever.
[Nexus 7 General] riko540:
My nexus 7 had the screen lifting as well but so minimal that I didn't notice it till I read some posts on here about it. Then I popped the back off and tightened a screw problem solved.
[Nexus 7 General] NicholasQ:
Amen. Op will not be missed.
[Nexus 7 General] IceColdKila:
In Response to the OP, I agree going the same route too.

Sprint Galaxy S3 Jelly Beam amazing AMOLED 720p display at 4.8 inches its enough and LTE data is great. If you need more than 8MB/ps to a smartphone data speeds you have problems.

Gave up on Nexus 7 too many quality problems its basically a 1 year Rental since next years will be so much better.

Going with iPad 4 next February Quad Core A6 CPU will dominate all. and Retina display. Why? beecause If I have ANY problems I walk into an Apple store and walk out with a new one.
[Nexus 7 General] mi7chy:
Even with all the initial production issues with Nexus 7 it's still significantly more capable, much more useful and less restrictive than iPad3 that I've used. Apple will do things like keep an app out of the App Store so it doesn't compete with them like OnLive for cloud gaming. And, good luck you don't get an iPad3 with yellow display, WIFI issues, slow to charge or doesn't charge issues, excessive heat, etc.
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
I rather have no tablet than own an ipad. Heck, I rather use an etch-a-sketch than own an apple product.
[Nexus 7 General] Dennelly:
If you don't like the nexus then by all means don't buy another android device but don't put in your thread titile *ipad time* like us at this lovely community really care about you and your APPLE device.

Have fun being like the rest of the idiots waiting in line at the apple store for an overpriced ipod touch with *the latest and greatest hardware* and by latest and greatest I mean galaxy tab 2 quality but because its apple it will be revolutionary.
[Nexus 7 General] chROMed:
Mine is perfect, no defects what so ever on the device sent by Google. Very happy with mine. You must be the most unluckiest person to have went through 4, just saying... good luck with that iPad. You couldn't pay me to have apple anything in my house. I'm invested in the android ecosystem, no way I'd juggle 2. I'd try a different android tablet if I was in your shoes.
[Nexus 7 General] mattallica76:
I bought my 16GB model from the play store. It's from the C70 batch and has no manufacturing defects. I'm extremely happy with it.

[Nexus 7 General] leshake:
I don't understand why trolling to keep this topic alive is permitted. If you go for an iPad fine. It doesn't belong in the Nexus 7 forum, even if it is your "reason". There's already a thread for the defects.
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
For what its worth I've had a total of 6 Nexus 7 tablets, and they all had the screen lift defect. The last two were C70 units and the screen lift was still there. I have decided to put the money towards a new laptop when Windows 8 comes out instead. I really wanted this tablet, but the constant returns ruined the experience for me and now I realize I don't actually have a NEED for a tablet.
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
Did you buy them all from the same place? If it was the play store did you try maybe like staples, game stop, Wal-Mart? Don't know if that would have made a difference but something maybe worth considering if you really wanted to give it another shot.
[Nexus 7 General] matthewr87:
They were all from Staples. However, I bought them from various Staples stores in various cities around here over the course of the past 3 weeks. I guess I was just unlucky :crying:. Oh well.
[Nexus 7 General] Mungulz:
That's just horrible luck.. I've only bought one N7 and im liking it more every day.
[Nexus 7 General] Bigjim1488:
I had then same experience at Walmart. Went to multiple locations over a 2 week span and no luck. I guess I will wait for another tablet to come out
[Nexus 7 General] airmaxx23:
My 6th device finally ended up being a keeper, all of them came from the Play Store. 2 had bad screen lift, 1 had dead pixels, 1 had screen lift and bad bezel/glass separation and 1 had broken auto-rotation. The 6th device, which I got yesterday, is great.
[Nexus 7 General] revamper:
yikes. I feel blessed that my first one is fine.
[Nexus 7 General] dirtyhamster73:
That's horrible :( Well, maybe later on you'll consider getting it again and hopefully by then they'll have better builds released with the issues fixed. One of mine was from staples and it's fine. Right now anyway. Maybe try the play store? One last buy :)
[Nexus 7 General] airmaxx23:
I'm pretty patient so it wasn't that bad, Google made it a lot easier since they were so easy to deal with and got replacements sent right out.
[Nexus 7 General] yanksrock1000:
This is pretty much the same boat as me, but with 4. I'm going to get a Macbook Air or something, I don't really need a tablet. Love Android, just wish they put it on a perfect device. To be honest, I think Google's estimate of 2% with defects is wrong. If this was the case, you would have a .0000000064% chance of getting 6 defects. And this happened with many people.

Google has to get their stuff together. Asus too.

[Nexus 7 General] Thegreatheed:
My grandfather passed away 2 weeks ago. My aunt shared a story during the funeral.

She was at home with grandpa when 2 delivery guys were bringing in a new fridge. They put a dent in the front of the fridge as they were bringing it in. My aunt told my grandpa that he needed to tell the delivery guys to bring them a new fridge, they bought a new fridge and they deserved a new fridge. My grandpa turn to my aunt and said, 'I am not going to make them pay for their mistake, I certainly don't want to pay for all of mine."

Our generation sucks. All this entitlement mentality is horrible. YOU HAVE A TINY SCREEN LIFT OR A DEAD PIXEL? BETTER RMA IT 12 TIMES!!!
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Eek I just realized the OP is right, you only have 15 days to initiate an exchange from Google. That sucks, I mainly bought from Google and paid the $14 shipping charge because I thought they handled the warranty completely. Had I known that I would of grabbed a nexus 7 locally.

Oh well I'm not noticing any issues other than occasional flickering and slightly washed out colors which I hear are software issues anyway, hopefully I'll never need the warranty.

At any rate I'm not going to make a claim unless it's serious enough.
[Nexus 7 General] compact_bijou:
4 Girlfriends.. each one worse than the last .. Buckle up .. all you have left is teh manbumgaysex .. :laugh:

P.S it's Nexii, not Nexuses.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
Firstly, your grandfather was looking out for the little guy. If he knew that the manufacturer was shipping out dented fridges, he might have acted differently.

Secondly, dead pixels are not a minor issue, and insignificant screen lift should not be taken at face value. It could easily worsen over time.

Would you consider it wise to accept that fridge if the door were slightly ajar?

It's not even noticeable unless you put your hand right up to the crevice between the door and the body to feel that whisper of cold air. This would make your fridge analogy more relevant, since cold air leaking through a tiny gap would be a real problem that wouldn't interfere with day-to-day use.

I'm assuming that you either have minor screen separation or at least one dead pixel -- otherwise you would have no right to criticize -- and you're angry for some reason that other people aren't willing to tolerate it. Hate to break it to you, but if you own a tablet you're not a vanguard against materialism. You're just a braggart ascetic with a weakness for trendy new gadgets. And sorry for your loss and all, but it's a little silly to exploit your late grandfather's good character in order to big yourself up.

He accepted delivery because he cared more about the well-being of the deliverymen than a superficial flaw. Unless ASUS assemblymen feel the sting of the lash every time one of their serials gets RMA'd, there are no deliverymen to protect in this scenario. Also, you're deliberately using a metaphor that downplays these issues to better suit your own argument.

Let me be clear that none of this snark, if it must be taken that way, is directed at your grandfather. Sounds like an interesting guy.

---------- Post added at 02:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

Fortunately he was mistaken.

Google has said, and it has been corroborated by support, that they will be covering warranty for Play store purchases for the first year.

I called and asked about this specifically, but feel free to call and ask for further confirmation. These days the wait times are short.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I'm that way about appliances. I work at lowes actually and people complain too much when they get some with dents. I understand if it's on the front, but if your talking the side or back and works for otherwise, or something like a water heater or chest freezer that's most likely going in the garage and won't be in your line of sight all the time then returning it is stupid. My chest freezer I bought came with the dent. What did I do? Absolutely nothing I worked fine.

But the screen separation issue is a different problem. Honestly I can't blame anyone for making multiple exchanges on it. Me personally though if mine does is I'm popping off the case and tightening the screws. Why wait for another possibly defective model when mine would be perfect with no screen lift now? I do wonder I this issue is like the RROD on 360 or DRE on PS2 where it'll happen eventually regardless
[Nexus 7 General] Thegreatheed:
Um, no he wasn't. Thanks twisting the words of a great man to support your little forum rage. He was talking about having a forgiving attitude in your dealings with your fellow man. Not every dead pixel is worth an RMA. Neither is every dented appliance. RMAing devices repeatedly for minor imperfections is entitlement. Yes you are entitled to a product free of defects. But every product has defects, every software has bugs. Are you a spoiled snot and demand a replacement on tiny issues, or do you accept a dented fridge because it still functions perfectly and keeps your food cold? A great man is forgiving of others as long as the product is functional.

There will never be a perfect run of devices. Quit whining about it, we don't care.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
You understand that when I said, "looking out for the little guy," I didn't mean literally?

Now that we've cleared that up, let's recap.

Two whistling deliverymen from a silent movie, fat as John Goodman and twice as loveable, are delivering a fridge to your grandparents' house. Somehow, they accidentally bang it against the muk yan jong in the foyer and now there's a minor dent in the front of it. Your grandmother immediately starts acting like a spoiled snot. Your grandfather slams his fist on the wine-stained table and says, "It was an honest mistake, woman."

It could happen to anyone, so he doesn't want the delivery guys to be reprimanded in proportion to the value of the item, which is what would almost certainly happen if your grandparents refused delivery. Since the fridge isn't functionally damaged he decides to let it slide.

You can expand on that if you want, but it's pretty clear that sparing the delivery guys from a lot of grief over a little dent was of greater concern for him at that moment than whatever philosophical truths have been wrung from it by your family over the years.

I'm a spoiled snot. But I already explained to you that I do not consider screen lift to be strictly cosmetic. Even if you don't notice it when you're using the device, pressing that area is going to cause some amount of flexion, which could wear on the display over time and increase the risk of sudden display failure. No matter how sleight, your screen is bending.

There's also the possibility that separation will progress, which would gradually increase the stress on your display over time.

If you're going to be dealing with ASUS, that's not worth the risk.

Call your aunt and tell her which parts of the eulogy were most useful in an internet argument.

[Nexus 7 General] jamesst20:
In my case, my Nexus 7 as a dead pixel, I asked to exchenge it and I will exchenge as many times I need until I get the perfect tablet! I sold my iPad to get a Nexus 7, I wont for sure get back an iPad!

Now, that I tried Android, I dont want iOS anymore. IOS it is the worse closed OS ever seriously. It is a damn to install an app unsigned by Apple. You gotta have to wait months to get a Jailbreak (root equivalent) every single update. You're a dev? Great pay 100$ to try your OWN apps.

Just to tell how weak it is,

- No real Multitasking

- Poor apps quality : Facebook is a pain, doesnt refresh fine on picture and stuff. Skype : Once you closed Skype and close it from multitask even thought you're still online, push notification wont tell you someone's calling. Textplus/Textme works bad. IMessage/Facetime sometime I lately receive call or message. (Sometimes 45 mins later)

Man seriously, iPad do have many returns, look at an Apple Store and check the supports place! You gotta have to schedule an exchange because it is ALWAYS full. You're just NOT lucky.

Hopping it will make you make a good decision,

Really if Google is owning up to support for the first year than no reason to give up on it. If screen lift is your biggest grips though I'd just either deal with it or try a fix and then swap it in another month or so

Thanks for the guidance, I'm downloading Matt's Utility now. Once I flash a stock ICS ROM, will I be able to toggle back to Unsafe in Safestrap and get my old system / settings back? They're not hugely important to me since everything's on the internet anyway, but it would be nice not to have to rebuild. Toggling using the normal toggle is failing at the moment due to the internal storage being completely full (it's unable to create a backup of the "safe" system).

Also, is it Windows-only? I've got a Windows partition here but I use Linux normally.

Hey all!

I recently had downloaded the ROM GO Airborn, put it on my SD from my laptop, then flashed it through recovery. The problem I had was that it doesnt show any music/photos that are on the SD card. I thought that I had accidently wiped the SD card, but when I go into storage in settings and Astro form the market, it shows that the card is mounted and I can browse it.

I thought it would of been the ROM, so I flashed Eternity ROM after a clean wipe. I am having the same problem. Settings-->Storage says that I have 30GB total and 9GB remaining, and ASTRO can browse the SD card, its all still there. I just cant seem to access it. Any help?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Are you using superwipe before flashing the roms and are you using clockworkmod recovery to flash it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhi619:
superwipe no, clockwork yes.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
That's what I thought. Go to the eternity forums and go to the FAQ and get super wipe from there. You should also download 4ext recovery because cwm is causing way to many issues here lately.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukhi619:
Will that fix the SD card issue?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I also read recently that cwm has been placing a .no media folder on the SD card and by deleting it some issues may be solved. Worth a shot I guess. My only other suggestion would be to backup the contents and reformat the SD card.

@disconnecktie I love you, man. Haha. The .nomedia issue is exactly what it was. I performed a ".nomedia" search and deleted all of those files. What recovery would you suggest flashing? TWRP is what I am going to flash right now. Anything better available? Thank you!!!

[HTC Sensation] 2strokenut:
I got a bricked T-mobile Sensation today at the shop and after checking it out I thought it would be easy to fix but unfortunately its proving to be much more difficult than I expected. Here's what I'm working with:

Locked s-on

Hboot 1.18.0000

radio 10.14.9035.01_m

First, I tried all kinds of PG58 zips. None worked. I figure I need to be unlocked to do it. Did the HTC unlock and got to the warning screen and where it asks to choose yes or no. I can navigate to yes or no but when I choose yes it just freezes and doesn't do anything. I tried it 3 different times, same thing. I can't even choose factory reset in Hboot, it just freezes. I don't know what the eff is going on. I've been downloading RUUs but have yet to find the correct one. I don't know what firmware it has because it does not boot up.

I thought, well shoot, I have fastboot, maybe I could just s-off and root from fastboot, but I can't find any thread explaining how to do it.

Any help would be great.

Thanks!

Edit:

Found the correct RUU, 1.50.xxxx whatever. WHen I run the utility It says its rebooting into bootloader but stays in the same screen and doesn't do anything. I don't know if this helps, but when I go into the bootloader I cannot go back into hboot. It just, freezes.
