I'm pretty sure the One X is now $99 on contract/upgrade.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CalcProgrammer1:
If I could get another one for $50 I would...it's an awesome phone, super fast on custom ROMs, epic screen...Go for it, you won't be disappointed.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
I can offer my take: it's the longest I've had a phone in a year? It's lasted almost a full month. (I don't own a computer, tablet or TV.) The Note does it all for me. It's a fantastic device, save for the ridiculous buttons at the bottom. Pretty easy to flash. And if you are like myself and thoroughly disgusted with the Note 2? Right now, it's the only choice.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daudster:
Recently my phone has started randomly opening up the Google now page by hitting the magnifying glass by itself. It happens often, is this a software problem or is my capacitive button broken?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlphaEchoViktorSierra:
I saw that someone fixed it by loosening or tightening the screws under the battery cover. I can't find that post though
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daudster:
Hmm, Iv never opened up the phones screws before. There are 2 screens near the bottom that i guess holds the screen and back of the phone together. Loosening these would fix the problem perhaps?

Hey guys,

Title says it all tbh, so are they still present in new batches? Should i hold off and wait for a while?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Look for one that has a SSN# that starts with C8OK... The number should be outside the box. Those are the newest batches and I bought 2 that are flawless right out the box.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClanUrdnot:
Where did you purchase from?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Walmart
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Good question. Just ordered one from Tesco in UK as a present for someone.

Also, if you root it, and have a fault develop, can you unroot without a problem with warranty?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
I'm still waiting. People are reporting C8s with screen lift, although it seems to be less frequent now than before.

Sorry for not citing specific posts, but I am following user reports closely and it is still happening.

It's possible that new units are being inspected more thoroughly but no other measures have been taken. That would make the defect harder to spot, lowering the reported incidence rate, but would do nothing to actually solidify the left side.

I would also be skeptical of anyone who claims that their unit is flawless who doesn't post a picture. This may sound paranoid, but there have been users who claimed their device was perfect until they posted a photo of a unit with screen separation.

Sorry for doubting you, but would you mind posting a photo of the horizon test? I've gotten three bad units and I'm waiting to repurchase.

To check if your screen is lifting, 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.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Here is mine. Im not as picky as most on a $250 purchase, but for me it looks flawless. You tell me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenDrago:
Received my nexus on the 24th and it has a C80K SN, although it doesn't have screen lift or separation, it does have screen flicker at low brightness :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
All of these are from the right portrait side, correct?

The first one isn't very clear. The second looks fine. But in the third one the bezel seems to disappear under the ASUS logo.

Why do you think that is?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
I am on #5 now since 7/14

1st C6 - would turn off at 20% "show low low battery logo" even after calibrating bad battery? Perfect screen, exchanged

2nd C7 - bad left side screen separation/lift, exchanged

3rd C7 - dust under the screen, 2 spots , exchanged

4th C7- minor left side screen seperation/lift, just started doing the death at 20% exactly like the first C6 I had for no reason today, have had it since last Sunday and had been charging/decharging fine, just sent my wife to exchange it again. I am sure Gamestop is sick of us by now. Said it is a C8 I will edit how it turns out. Considering I am 4 for 4 with issues, I am just hoping no lift and the battery doesn't act stupid after a week or two or I'm calling it quits on this one.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
As a matter of fact, the bezel does disappear at the center. I guess my C8OK does have some screen lift. But does that minor issue warrant a return? I would say hell no. If something as minor as this would discourage you as a buyer then you might have other issues.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Well my C8 has lift on the left hand side, not as bad as first C7 I had, but worse than the last. :(

Screen seems fine otherwise no dead pixels or dust , but obviously there is no special fix as some people keep speculating, I'm 5 for 5 now with defects

** I actually just opened it up to tighten the screws see if it would help, two screws are missing along the left side. I swear Asus needs to hire some better monkeys over in that chinese plant, I'm done taking it back for refund. Maybe around tax time they will have ironed this out
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMuffStuff:
Its amazing that they cant figure out something. My c70k is having screen lift as well :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
So you returning it?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
Thank you for clarifying.

If you decide to look further into the matter you will find that the physical presence of a little lift isn't the concern.

These displays have a low stress tolerance and aren't designed to be flexed at all during use. If your screen isn't securely fastened to the case, that means it will be bending even if you don't notice it, and that runs the risk of cracking the screen.

It's not a death sentence by any means, but the risk is there no matter how minor the lift appears to be. Also, there is a tendency for the separation to spread over time. The adhesive bonding the display to the left side of the case is already failing. This adhesive is flimsy and sensitive to heat according to the teardowns people have conducted.

I would not advise you to keep that (those?) units if you're going to be dealing with ASUS worst case scenario. It might be worth keeping a unit with screen lift under the Play store warranty depending on how they choose to handle these issues, but you don't want to deal with ASUS.

Sorry about the bad news.

I guess I'll keep waiting then. Thanks for reporting.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
Its not bad news at all. Your view is a dooms day view. Like most items they all will suffer from wear and tear and eventually you're going to have to say goodbye to your little gadget. Even if you get a perfect one, who's to say it won't lift in a few weeks or months? Like I mentioned before, I only paid $250 for them and in a year from now they're be worth even less.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Just sent the wife back out with it , could have possibly lived with it had the screws not been missing inside. My C6's screen was seated flawless, really sad the battery was funky with it. I'm sick of settling for defective out of the box crap with Asus they can eat another return
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shook187:
How do you open it up?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
I use a very small #0 flathead and pry open near the headphone jack, once you get one of the clips up it just unsnaps the whole way around very easy.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pxlitup:
Don't mistake my motives. I'm glad that you are happy with your purchase.

I'm only notifying you of the possible risks, which I believe warrant a mention since they do exceed the concerns of normal wear and tear.

Remember that internationally this tablet can cost much more than you or I paid for it. It's important for people to be able to make an informed decision about whether or not to purchase it, and you being honest about your screen inspection, even though you think I'm being OCD, was very helpful in that regard. You would be surprised at how many people believe facts are subjective when tech company loyalties come into play.

Hopefully your tablets won't give you any trouble. Your lift is certainly not as severe as many of the units from July that are still going strong.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon565G:
Yeah you can unroot it without them noticing. I've just today returned my N7 to Tesco UK, it was rooted and unlocked (Had screen flicker that didn't show up at first). Even though it was out of the 28 day warranty, they had no problem instantly refunding mine. Cant fault their customer service.

Going to buy from google though as I can't be sure if i'll get and old device back, ie C6 or C7. (would like a C8 ;))
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenDrago:
I've been curious about this for the past two days now, after relocking your Nexus did the bootloader display a "locked" or "relocked" status? Doesn't make much of a difference, but I'm really curious. Also the N7 I received last friday was a C8 and I noticed yesterday that it has screen flicker, just a heads up!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Nope there is no difference, I've done it every time now I've exchanged just fastboot oem lock and it goes away.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon565G:
Cheers for the heads up, ill just have to keep my fingers crossed :fingers-crossed: Yeah, the boot loader does say locked after re locking it. (It definitely said unlocked before). Also the unlocked padlock image, right at the bottom as you just switch it on has disappeared. Hopefully, this will put your mind at rest ;)

(Sorry if I've explained it badly, sometimes my mind goes blank when trying to explain things)

EDIT: Also apologies to NeoMagus for the just repeating what he said, I've only noticed your post now....
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinesh690:
Ah man :( Hope they sort out this mess soon, or going to have to resort to the ipad/microsoft surface
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
It only says "LOCKED/ UNLOCKED" in the actual bootloader (power +vol buttons), at the Google screen theres nothing special afterwords showing it was unlocked before
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon565G:
I've taken this from Wug's rooting toolkit, i can't take i picture of what I mean as I don't have my Nexus any more

You can tell that the bootloader has been unlocked as your tablet will now boot with an open padlock symbol.

This is what I mean by an padlock image

Yeah, there's nothing showing that it was unlocked before though. That's not what I meant
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Yes, it is there if you are unlocked. If you are locked, it should just say Google on boot.

What I was trying to say is regardless of where you look, there are no indicators to tell them you had it unlocked beforehand. So for warranty as long as it locked I wouldn't worry about it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon565G:
That's what I was saying when I put Also the unlocked padlock image, right at the bottom as you just switch it on has disappeared. That there is no way to tell.

Glad we've cleared it up, I thought mine had just sprung up the padlock, and it wasn't a normal reaction to unlocking it :good:

C60 perfect. No lift. Bought in Vegas beginning August.

Battery, bluetooth, screen,...all ok.

Did I get lucky?

5 stars. Will see in a few months.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidlover287:
Yes, you can

When my N7 developed a problem (Headphone socket not working) all you should have to do is flash the N7 back to the stock rom and then relock the bootloader (That's all i did, all the evidence of rooting will be gone) since the device is wiped.

Returned a C6 device with screen lift and slight flickering issue for a C8 device - no screen lift or flickering that I've noticed yet. No problems at all to be honest! Not sure if it's just coincidence or if the C8's really are better as a whole though...

The nice thing is that you can tell the serial number *before* buying the device as it's printed on the outside of the package...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underwater Mike:
I returned a Transformer Prime this week because of build issues and was going to "cope" with the lack of expandability and video out on the N7 because I really need tab. But threads like this make me think that any tablet manufactured by Asus is just as likely as not to have issues.

Guess I'm screwed either way.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtrosky:
Yeah, Asus *definitely* has some QC issues. However, their devices are great and very unique (there really isn't much competition in terms of functionality/price), assuming that you get a good one...

Like I said earlier, about all I can recommend is that you buy from a brick-and-mortar store so that you can quickly and easily exchange if you get a device that does have issues.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMuffStuff:
Just ordered a replacement. Hopefully its flawless, if not. Ill probably return it for a refund, and go buy a galaxy tab 2

I maybe the only one...but this is pre madness! Lol. U have to return a numerous of times for a "decent" device. My life asus and google really have messed up with quality control. Its disgusting. Ive had 2 now...going to hold out until october. Seems like a joke to me thats all.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Underwater Mike:
I'd avoid the GT 2 (assuming you mean the 10.1). Put together well, but the specs and performance leave something to be desired, at least in the units I've seen.

Agreed. I would be willing to wait for the Sammy P10 if there was some firm date to expect it. But not having anything besides the kludgy keyboard dock for my Droid Bionic is really tough. Aside from entertainment, I used to use my TF101 a lot at work (meetings and such) and on my commute. My work lappy is a monster, so it's not really useful away from a desk.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMuffStuff:
Im talking about the 7". Specs are good, I dont really need quad core. 600p is good enough for me, but the 800p of the nexus is pretty sexy. And for 250$ you get the tablet AND a free keyboard dock.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidkid311:
Yeah i was wondering about the P10 but i really am tired of waiting for updates,hence an advantage of the n7... waiting it out is the best option to be honest.

Just picked mine up from WalMart. Called over 20 Stores from Los Angeles down to San Diego, no one had it but one store way out on the way to Palm Springs.

They had one in stock. Had them put it on hold, 170 Miles, 1 hour and 50 Minutes later I arrived, purchased it.

No flaws, lifting, nor screen bleed. It is from the C8 SSN batch. Loving this thing.

Prior to this I had a ASUS Infinity Champagne Gold 32GB, went through 4 of them, all had screen lift, creaking screens and dead pixels/dust under the screens. It pissed me off for a $500 tablet.

However this little Nexus 7 is perfect. :good:

I feel for everyone with issues.

I have a C60 (16gb) I got from Walmart 3weeks ago...no dead pixels, no screen lift. I was really nervous reading all the stories...heavy use and had no problems, hw or sw...I have rooted and unlocked, stock 4.1.1 ... no speaker issues, flicker.

A couple tweaks (for dpi options flash, etc) and I couldn't be happier with the experience.

I guess it goes to show there is always going to be some problems with any mass produced product and the squeaky wheel gets the grease and complains the loudest...not to imply that those with issues don't have a right to voice their experience, issues etc. But don't necessarily represent the masses.

Best of luck to those with issues with their N7. I couldn't be more thrilled with my purchase.

now, after some time, i bump this thread. because i have i frend who can buy me a n7 16gb in New York. Probably is best to pick it up in a store, Staples or Walmart - where do you suggest ist best?

also, if possible he will try the tab in the store to see which code it is C60, C70 or C80 and test it. i was so dissapointed with so many posts and problems users are having with n7 and postponed my decision and buy of the n7.

Is it now "safer" to buy and a better possibility to get a flawless n7?

thank you for your help and advices, because i need them. if i get i n7 16gb, i can forget the case to returning in to the store, i live in europe and think it's impossible to get replacement here in Croatia - for that i'll try to get information from the local store about warranty and n7 bought in NY (where the price is almost 100% higher)

It's more convenient for doing casual browsing while using bathroom or in bed than a Notebook or Netbook & the battery life is awesome.
