[Nexus 7 (2013) General] WilliamG:
I already posted a picture in this thread of my Nexus 7 FHD on the boot-up screen which automatically is at full brightness - NO bleed. However, it did have piece of dirt under the display so I was sad to return it...

My replacement has some backlight bleed at higher brightness, but I never use that kind of brightness in a dark room, so it's not an issue. I can see it bothering other people, though..

This was the picture I posted earlier in the thread, MAX brightness, on my now-returned Nexus 7. My new one is not this good:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] TG2708:
Im pissed right now. I have a bright white spot, like a pixel on dark backgrounds. Does not show up on any other color though. How do i fix this if anyone knows?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Fulbring:
You paid for it man. I think you should get it replaced and check it in store for any dead pixels or dust underneath. It sucks that you got unlucky not once but twice! But I am surprised that so many people are getting this kind of problem with their new devices.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] eyecon82:
I still see bleeding at the top edge, although it's minimal

You should have kept it! That one seems like a diamond in the rough

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:35 PM ----------

That is called a stuck pixel. You can fix it.

My lenovo laptop had one of those and I fixed it. Just google it. You take a stylus thing, put some lint free cloth and press hard on it and rub it around

Got mine today. And for once got perfect unit. (knock on wood) with the OG Nexus I exchange it about 4 times. Hope this one continue to be flawsless. :D

I 'm waiting for next stock/patch, just release and this much reported quality issued, I don't really want go for Samsung Tab 8,.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jayochs:
yeah, but the problem is i don't notice these things under huge fluorecent lights in best buy lol..i only notice them under normal lighting at home. idk, it was a pain in the ass, so i'm not gonna just keep exchanging them.

believe me though, when i got my GS4 I did..since i got it from my old boss at the verizon store, i literally opened about 5 Gs4's before i decided which to get....bc i bought off contract for 650. a bunch had banding issues on the gray, and i wasl ike F that, already dealt with that on my gnex and my gs3, i wanted a perfect GS4...and i got it lol so whatever. i'll live wtih a small piece of dust. i'm so sick of the hassle
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] johnomaz:
I must have gotten lucky, I have zero issues with my N7. No dead pixels, no dust, nothing.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jiffylube1024:
Whew. This thread scared the cr@p out of me.

I also got a perfect N7 today, no dead/stuck pixels, no dust under the screen, minimal to no backlight bleed. The tablet is awesome!

I can definitely see how the dust issue creeps up. there is a small ~1mm gap between the glass and the frame that attracts small particles like nuts. I had to flick a couple of small white dust particles out of the edge of my new tablet (which was otherwise spotless). It's a more noticeable glass/back gap than, say, on the iPad mini, which has an almost microscopic gap between the two.

I'm hoping a full screen protector helps with the issue.

I found a dead pixel when on a black background. Just when I thought all was well. I'll be keeping this one already. It's not too bad. But of course, OCD may kick in :eek:

is it true that stuck pixels (on my nexus 7, it is red on a black background. it can only be seen on a dark background) will disappear over time? if that's the case, I don't have to worry lol

also, do those screen color flashing apps work? I read they don't
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] alicarbovader:
Me got meself a new Nexus 7 :D , with a bit of light bleed from the upper left corner which I only noticed when I was watching movie on it in the night... Something I won't ever notice ;)

No dust or dead pixels so far, the table started real slow, but sped up after an hour of use. I'm enjoying stock for a few weeks, then I'll think of rooting...

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
There has to be control over rgb and gamma control in the kernel before for these mods to work. I know no such kernel at this point. I think the Colors look amazing though already. The reason the n4 needed major adjustment was cause it came extremely un calibrated with the stock kernel.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] eyecon82:
all those posting pics of No bleeding actually have some bleeding even if it's minimal, so quite worrying and trying to find a perfect device
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Trolling means to post something to get an emotional response for others. So jayrod1980 had it dead on.

The color flashing app was to fix a stuck pixel. It doesn't really work anyways. Still a great tablet, even with a small stuck pixel seen only on black backgrounds

OP should add light bleeding to the thread title as well :p

isn't it trolling to call someone a troll when they were pointing out very obvious light leaks the user had not noticed?

you should be embarrassed, for someone who has that many thanks, going off topic like that. I think you need to look it up as well since I didn't think eyecon was trolling, but pointing out obvious flaws in the n7.2 display
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] kunundrum78:
yea Eyecon82 was on the edge of trolling it seems, but i agree, those pictures do have some lightbleed and I am having a hardtime believing those who say they dont when every single display I hae seen (20+) has them

I also think Jayrod calling him a troll for no reason was clear trolling to me too

looks like a bunch of people got butthurt when they thought they didn't have bleeding and they do? ha:laugh:

I didn't say eyecon was trolling lol did I. I meant the other guy who wouldn't take pics as I also thought jayrod meant the same.

Definition for trolling http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(Internet) and I'm not sure what my thanks have to do with anything bro. You just took my post all wrong. I was actually agreeing with eyecon but saying not to listen to that other guy. Cheers

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] klov:
Sounds good to me. Good luck with your search for a perfect device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jayochs:
I'm glad my thread has turned into a debate about what trolling is.

anyway, s4 has a great camera, but it's almost impossible to take a picture of a screen of another device with any of these cameras because it'll never accurately represent what your eyes see. it may have bleed, it may not. whatever. I know mine does on the top, as did my original nexus 7. does it bother me? no.

more high-quality LCD screens, such as my htc dna, don't have any... cheaper ones, like the nexus, do.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] oneandroidnut:
I was being sarcastic at s4 camera but you can't pick it up the screen that well on any camera but it if it has any bleeding on mine it's very very minimal I will try to get a better photo for the unavoidable "trolls" that think they always know everything!

Communist Chinese Quality Control has never existed ..... Why is anyone surprised that the Bar has once again been lowered and Quality Control is the user replacing his unit 3 or 4 times until he gets one that works AS ADVERTISED ...

Why spend money on Quality Control when the Suckers ... er I mean Consumers will do it for you for free?

I don't blame the Chinese, I blame the Suckers who think this shoddy workmanship and QC is acceptable behavior and accuse anyone that expects to get EXACTLY what was advertised to them as Trolls .... Expecting your device to WORK AS ADVERTISED is now considered trolling???

Go figure ....

I worked in the R&D department of a industrial controls manufacturer back in the mid-90's who was making touchscreen process controllers and I would have been embarrassed (not to mention fired on the spoit) to put out such poor quality equipment. NASA, the US Military or Ford (To mention a few of our customers) would have sued our pants off if our QC was as shoddy as 90% of what I see coming from China these days .... They are dishonest, thieves and they exploit their Workers even worse than the Capitalists 100 years ago ....

Hopefully Google bringing Motorola Mobility's smartphone line back to America will change things around or at least stop the continued lowering of the Quality Bar we've seen the last 10-15 years .... Used to be even Consumer devices and their components had a minimum average lifespan of 20 years, now it's closer to 2-3 years and we are pitching 100-500 dollar devices into the landfill because 50 cents worth of capacitors failed

That kind of nonsense is simply economically unsustainable and part of the reason for the Economic Collapse of 2008 and the failure to recover from it .... An Economy built on Junk is going to be a Junk Economy

I think I will just wait it out for a while. Seems like there are a lot of messed up ones out there. I hate returning open items. And definitely don't settle for messed up products. You're spending your hard earned cash on something. It's just not worth settling for something less.

same here, except mine is red. it shows on black backgrounds only and if I have the brightness at around 30% or higher

I have read that it may correct itself over time. it's a stuck pixel, as a dead pixel is black

I'm just going to ignore it already. I exchanged mine 3 times already. the one I have now is the best I've gotten. Also, GameStop won't allow me to exchange anymore

This is some bull**** imho... that you had to settle for a defective initial production unit and you don't even have the option to return it anymore due to something that is not your fault

I have had to return 2 units to Gamestop due to dead pixels and I am now waiting for Asus/google to figure their **** out. I now have my cash tied up there as store credit.

If my third unit has 1. DEAD PIXELS, 2. LIGHT BLEED, or 3. SENSITIVITY PROBLEMS and I am given the treatment you were given and not allowed to return it, I will certainly switch from being dissapointed over my wasted time to being angry over a ****ty product and ****ty return policies. I do not want this.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] just blaze:
Well I went through 2 more tabs and I feel like its a lost cause trying to find that perfect tablet.

1st tablet - 4 little dead pixels, no dust, and barely any light bleed

2nd tablet - 1 dead pixel and much more light bleeding in several areas

3rd tablet - virtually no light bleed at all, 1 dead pixel

I'm thinking of maybe just keeping the 3rd tablet. Not sure if that so called "perfect" one is out there. Wish I didn't have OCD, this would be so much easier.

BTW, those who are just gonna wait it out a little longer, do you really think that you'll have a better chance at getting a virtually perfect tab? This is frustrating

I received my N7 today and sure enough, a cluster of ~15 dead pixels in the upper right corner (checked with a jewelers loop). I sent my tablet back to Asus's Texas branch to get repaired as they do actually cover that under warranty. Hopefully since I'm not just exchanging it at a store I might actually get my new screen/tablet tested before they ship it back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] 0.0:
I agree. I was thinking "what the heck!?" in my head. But I'll live with it. It isn't as bad as the other two I've exchanged. I have the manufacturer's warranty, so if it doesn't get any better or worsens, I'll call Asus and send it to them for repair

Also, small nick. Idk how it happened...

For those having problems I would try buying from best buy. I used to hate that store but it seems with their decline they have bumped up their customer service... At least in my area. The exchange process was really easy and fast. Because of the limited availability here with the 32gb model, I've bought both online with in store pickup. The first one I then exchanged right after picking up the first. Other than driving around the area to fins one in stock I couldn't be more pleased with best buy. In store pick up is awesome. As far as I can tell with tablet two, I don't have any discernable bleed or issues. First one was just as flawless screen wise but wouldn't charge wirelessly.

I know the frustration of buying these devices. I went through more nexus s, nexus 7 (first gen), nexus 4, and nexus 10s than I care to count along with various other android devices after moving on from my original g1. I'm the type that want to throw away a device with one defect or scratch.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] eyecon82:
They take your license for an exchange/return and track you. Eventually, if you hit the magic number, you are denied future returns/exchanges.

" When you return or exchange an item in store, we may require a valid photo ID. Except where prohibited, some of the information from your ID may be stored in a secure database used to track returns and exchanges. Based on return/exchange patterns, some customers will be warned that subsequent returns and exchanges will not be eligible for returns or exchanges for 90 days. Customers who are warned or have been denied an exchange/return may request a copy of their Return Activity Report by calling 1-800-652-2331 or by mail at P.O. Box 51373, Irvine, CA 92619-1373. Please be prepared to provide your transaction ID, ID number, full name, address and phone number."

It's a pain, but to be fair to BB they do this because a few have abused the system. Like Costco, they used to give you 6 months to return tv's, now it's 90 days, they had to change it for all of us because of a few.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] usmaak:
I bought at BB. I usually buy there, because seldom is any first device coming from China ever flaw free. At least for me. I went through a crazy number of iPad 3s before finding one with no noticeable screen defects. My release date iPad 3 was a nasty mess. And there was no way that I was settling for anything less than perfect on a $600 device.

But yea, BB does track returns. They didn't give me a hard time on the multiple defective iPads I brought back. I think that maybe their formula for determining when to cut off returns may take whether the item is defective into consideration.

I wonder if/when Costco will be carrying these.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mayurolla:
My Amazon replacement came in. Seems to be ok, very minor light bleed at the top but not noticable unless brightness is all the way up on a black screen in a dark room. So far it seems to be ok, still have to test multi touch issues.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] OJ in Compton:
I have a single dead black pixel in the middle of my screen, as well as a cluster of 3 colored ones in the top right corner. I think I could live with the ones in the corner seeing as they're not visible normally, but I just don't know about the one in the middle especially since I use holo light themes whenever I can.

Just picked up my Nexus 7 tonight from Best Buy.

Got it all set up and everything looked fine, but then for the heck of it I downloaded one of the dead pixel testers from the Play Store. Looks like I have a couple midway down on the edge of the screen. I wouldn't have even noticed them (my eyes aren't the greatest) if I hadn't run the test so I'm not sure if I'll bother bringing it for a replacement, at least not right away. Since the Best Buy is about an hour and a half from my house it's kind of a pain to get to it, so if I find it doesn't bother me I might just keep it.

If not, it seems like Best Buy has a pretty decent return policy so I can wait a bit to see if Asus works out all the kinks in their QC.

By the way, this is my first tablet ever, and it took a lot to justify getting one for myself, but now that I have it I'm looking forward to seeing if it lives up to the hype, at least for me.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawndh:
I know there has been other treads about this before but none of the suggestions seemed to work for me. I searched and searched and I'm just not finding a fix. I hate to do these posts when an easy answer is right there but I just can't figure it out and it's killing me. So here it is:

I just got this Verizon Galaxy Tab that would not come on - only showed the battery charging icon. I just charged it over night and it came on once. However, processes kept shutting down. For instance, when I went into settings and tried to connect to my wifi network, the whole process would just close down. So I let it get to about 40% and reboot it to download mode (there was no recovery). I found the correct .tar file for it and flashed it with ODIN3 v1.85. It completed successfully but now it won't boot past the Samsung splash screen. Once the splash screen comes up, it will just go back to the large battery charging icon in the middle of the screen.

Then I tried the other option where you get into recovery and nothing happens at all. The screen is backlit black (you can just see light around the edges of the screen) and nothing ever happens.

So now, it's just charging but it seems to charge very slowly. I was wondering if this is a battery issue or some strange sequence that needs to be done. It seems to be at about 40% again. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

These are other things I've tried:

hold the power button down for 30 seconds

Hold the power button down while touching the screen

More suggestions would be appreciated.
