You must have been amazingly lucky to get a perfect N10. I went through 5 of them, all having lightbleed and dead pixels.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1969890

Now I am reluctant to get a new N7 for this same reason, I do not want to go through that again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Crwolv:
I have 1 pixel that is blue on my black screen And the bottom speakers (top not really loud either) six and only one side works(there are 2 grills,right one no sound). Returning to best buy for new one. Also first android nexus device (have 2 galaxy nexus) that does not have a dps manager or any sound mixer at all on spu d settings. Also as I write this if I try to put the cursor somewhere else it keeps screwing up and won't go where I want it no matter where I click it but I'm sure that's a software problem or chrome

hell yeah that bleed whats up man haven't seen you since installing Bamf on my toro+. Add me on gtalk bro. motownstation@ gmail
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jasonchewy:
I just got my replacement from Google.

My first D70K had one speck of dust, the replacement D70K has one dead pixel.

*sigh*

the dead pixel is "better" than the dust, the dust spanned about 3 pixels (0.5 on one, covers the middle one and 0.5 on another).

the pitch black dead pixel seems less visible, I'll watch some videos tonight and see how acceptable it is.

I'm tempted to get a matte screen protector to further "hide" the pixel, since matte has that rainbowy effect...

Don't want to wait another week to get another unit from them.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laxinchili:
is it green or red? mine was red.... have you tried massaging it gently??
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jasonchewy:
Nah.... It's dead. It's a black dot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hihihehe:
Just got my new Nexus 7 in Australia here. Found 2 dead pixels and 1 soft light bleed at the top but slightly gone after i press it for 30 seconds

Product id is D80K if that makes any difference
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laxinchili:
an august unit!!... with dead pixels... :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Onumis:
Is this blacklight bleed or something else? Unit has been fine up until yesterday when i pulled it out of it's case and saw this blue spot.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] thatdudebutch:
Definitely not
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jayochs:
damn. looks like pressure against the LCD.. perhaps it got bent a bit.. sucks :(
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
I have the same thing and really small on mine though. I have a replacement coming from Google right now. Whatever it is I can only see it on a black screen and in a dark room.

In the UK here, got mine. One dead pixel and one stuck pixel and it's an August unit. Light bleed was minimal.

Gonna ask for a replacement.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Onumis:
Glad I'm not the only one :) I'm taking mine back to Walmart for an exchange tonight
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] usmaak:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] K1LLER HORNET:
I've got 3 bright white pixels & 2 specs of dust in close proximity.

Replacement arriving on Tuesday from Tesco.

This is the worst thing about Google Tablets whether from Samsung or ASUS, poor quality control. I had to return 3 Nexus 10's due to dust under the screen/dead pixels.

I hate to say it but this is something Apple has over Google.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] flight777:
Well it is mostly Asus QC that sucks :P

I've have had all the transformer tablets except for the TF300 (TF101, TF201, TF700T) all had screen issues and I've had to return multiple units of each type in such extend that they switched my TF101 to a TF201 because of all the issues I had and later the TF201 to a TF700T :P Their problem is definitely QC. If you have a perfect gem they are the best tablets out there, but getting that perfect gem is a pain and alot more of a hassle than with any other manfucaturer I've experience with.

I've never have had any problems with Samsung devices to be honest, even all the Nexus 10s I arranged for people here had almost no issues. Same for HTC and LG devices I had. Only Asus is until now a 100% rate in problems with screens for me :(

Now again: bought a N7 which had a dead pixel, returned it and picked another up from another store. This one has 5 dead pixels :eek: I knew another exchange wouldn't help so yesterday I requested a RMA (Asus arranges pick-up and return here so no costs involved) as I would have a better chance of getting that perfect device after repair. It was actually really funny and saddening at the same time that I had to fill "Date of purchase" as 31/08/2013 (or for you US folks 08/31/2013 :P) which is the same date as I'm requesting the RMA.

Asus really needs to get the QC together because most people are not prepared to go through such an effort to get a perfect working device from them and just won't buy it anymore... It should've not been necessary at all for me to return or RMA devices.. :S

Granted that I'm a perfectionist and have higher standards than most "normal consumers" but still, it is only Asus with whom I have so much trouble with.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] techToys7:
I'm on my third one right now. The first one had 3 dead pixels at the bottom of the screen. The second one had one almost directly in the middle, and the multitouch was going nuts. So far this third one has been fine, but I'm worried something is going to come up. :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] K1LLER HORNET:
Second one arrived.

1 dead pixel. A couple of very hard to notice specs of dust under the screen. I could live with these, but there is also one large piece of dust under the screen.

This one will also be replaced. Then a refund if the 3rd isn't fit for use.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] maidangisme:
Just return it 3 Dead Pixel, Asus Quality control suck big time on New Nexus 7, I wait for next batch.

-I forgot to check what build day of it damn
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] abdidas:
Daaaaaaaaarn it

My third unit, other two got returned because of dent in corner and dust stuck between case and screen on the edge.

3rd looked fine on the outside, didn't even bother to check for pixels.

Yes I have a dead pixel around the middle, a couple more around the corner with a long dust, also noticed a faint blue dot and some other defects which may be dust as well.

WHY AM I SO UNLUCKY :crying:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Gradius2:
Just got mine and it has dust behind screen:

i41.tinypic.com/c402p.jpg

Asus really is BAD. No wonder I dropped his MBs YEARS ago!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Obveron:
Waiting for my 4th replacement. All have had dead pixels. Starting to believe there's no perfect units.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] afremont:
I got one stuck (blue) pixel and haven't seen any dust specs. Of course when you are 51, it's harder to tell. The stuck pixel recently appeared, it wasn't there when I did a pixel test. I'll try one of the unsticker apps. I've had success with traditional LCDs getting pixels unstuck by massaging the screen while video played. Of course that's hard to do when the screen is glass.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] K1LLER HORNET:
Third unit has 1 dead pixel in lower area of device and 1 spec of dust under top portion of screen.

I bet there isn't a single perfect device.

ASUS's assembly plant must be the dustiest place in the industry.

I know I'll end up getting a refund and ordering from Amazon or something.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Gradius2:
Checking closer with a magnifying glass (15x) I can tell isn't dust, in reality they appear as stuck pixels around 12 of them.

I'm running jscreenfix on the area atm, will let it there for 1h at start, then 12h and finally 24h, if no fix only returning the unit and waiting for new batch seems to be the solution.

My batch is from 2013.07 (made in China).

It would be useful to mention date of affected Nexus 7 v2 as well.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] maidangisme:
:( WTF, Second one had 1 black dead pixel at bottom right corner of screen.

-My brother one used for 1 week with no dead pixel or screen glitch, and just last night he told me Tablet reboot 4~5 time every hour.

-I will return both units today and get my money back, No go for Nexus 7 2013 at this time.

Ps: They both made August and 32gb wifi Version.

-My region Asus does not offer ZERO DEAD PIXEL warranty, some retailers offer ZERO DEAD PIXEL warranty but within 14 days from the day of purchased.

-It look like only Asus can made Nexus 7 2013 for Google such low cost but Quality Control is Sucked.

-I hope Google will learn their lesson this time, and choose different one made Nexus 7 for next generation.

-It's look like Hardware Failure for me and there will be no update can fix it.

-Ps: Who knows, they may fixed Hardware next few batch but HOW MANY DID THEY MADE already.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] got556:
I can. Asus mobile quality control is absolutely horrible. Yes every manufacturer has issues, but seriously look at the gen 1 nexus, tf101, 300, 700...issues galore. So sick of Google picking Asus for their Nexus line. Should have stuck with Samsung.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:

Have small amount of bleed at top right, by far the best one yet. Not sure if one with zero bleed exists?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] checcles:
Mine also has a pixel problem.

Curious though since it seems like they just don't have perfect units yet....what is the warranty on these? Can I wait like 11.5 months and then trade it in? ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] xGary:
I just randomly got that too...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laxinchili:
I had 3 with no light bleed. However, they had dead pixels.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] iPWNtehNOOB:
Mine arrived in the mail today. Close inspection shows no dust or screen bleed, but a single dead/stuck pixel in the bottom right, about 1cm up from the navbar.

I'm trying to get it unstuck, but if I can't, I won't worry about returning it. It's barely noticeable and the $30 return shipping + chance of getting a worse one isn't worth it.

D80K and made in Aug 2013.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laxinchili:
Sounds like what I had, sorry man. Really discouraging to hear of 3 August units with dead pixels so far.

I hope an Asus employee sees this thread.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] abdidas:
My fourth unit seems to be fine.

You do have to hold the power button for a while before cold boot, don't remember it taking that long for my previous units.

Anyway I don't see any dead pixels and I refuse to look deeper because even if I see one I will go mad as hell.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] iPWNtehNOOB:
Eh, like I said, it's barely even noticeable. If I hadn't seen this thread, I wouldn't of even known it existed. The place I've bought it from has offered to ship it back free and check the replacement for defects before sending, but I'm satisfied with this as it is.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] amanwithaplan:
How many had defective units from Amazon and how many from BestBuy, Gamespot, Play store?

It seems to me that Amazon ships the least defective units.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jayochs:
honestly, I think it's hard to really say who has good units and who doesn't. it's just that this initial batch in general had a lot of issues everywhere.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] slick_rick:
Mines had a scratch out of the box. Took it back to Staples and exchanged. Seem to have got a perfect unit this time.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] okEric:
I'm seeing a few dead pixels on mine as well, think I'll see if I can get a replacement.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] dboss007:
Looks like at least 1 dead pixel here... I'm going to try to exchange via Best Buy later today.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] IamPro:
Exchanged first at GameStop, 2nd is looking good.. :fingers-crossed:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] jayochs:
the guys without dead pixels, do you notice any bits of dust under the screen? my 2nd doesn't have the dead pixels, but i do have like 2 small pieces of dust.

it sucks bc having perfect vision blows lol i always notice the smallest little things..usually it would ruin it.

for example, i had a piece of dust under my Rezound..but i got over it. i had the DNA that had the "blue hue" circle on the screen..returned it for another DNA..that DNA had like a cluster of stuck white pixels..so i returned that for a GS3, and that GS3 had some banding issues on the gray backgrounds and the "blotching" on black backgrounds.

then i got a used DNA wihch had 1 tiny stuck white pixel..but i learned to adapt and just not look at it...then i bought a GS4 which is great, except the notification bar is burning into the screen lmao..then i get my N7 with a dead pixel, return it, get another N7 with dust under the screen.....sigh hahaha

MY DAMN LUCK WITH DEVICES IS REALLY ANNOYING ME.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] KY Wildcats:
First one I got was a 16gb -- dust under the screen and a dead pixel.

I was hoping the 32gb would have a higher degree of quality control so I exchanged. 2nd unit 32gb has a dead pixel as well :(

I have a nexus 10 so I don't really need the 7 I was just picking one up to test out the new hotness. Gonna return it cause it seems to me that Asus still doesn't give a **** about the product they put out there. We all saw how that turned out on the first nexus 7!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] paratwa53:
I was going to get one this week, but I think I will wait a couple of months to see if the quality control settles down. I think they were rushing to get these to the market, and not taking the time to make sure they were right to begin with.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ckisgen:
no dead pixels, no dust, no phantom touches, no random reboots, no lag whatsoever, both OTA updates happened without a hitch, no light leak (that I've been able to find).

build quality on mine is flawless.

couldn't be happier with this purchase. 32GB from BestBuy, pretty sure I was the first one bought in store (9:03am or something yesterday)

..especially since I managed to get $170 for my N7 (2012) from craigslist. and that was on Thursday afternoon, so only had to be tablet-less for less than 24 hours.

win.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mannequin:
Haven't seen this one mentioned yet (and this issue was major with the first version) but did anybody notice the yellow tint? Briefly compared it in store with Galaxy Tab 8 which has perfectly white screen and Nexus was sad to look at: yellow with improperly set contrast and slight scroll blur. While Nexus has higher resolution screen Tab just looked better because it was properly calibrated, all the positive things about higher resolution was lost under the imperfections. Every review prises the screen but I was slightly puzzled. Should we wait for a custom kernel again? What gives.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Red Wolf:
Got mine from amazon today and it has dust under the screen or dead pixel can't tell exactly which. But I can see it. Amazon is on back order so getting refund and ordered on BB. Hopefully this one have no problem when I get it.

Damn asus and google, I had to change 3 nexus 4 to get a perfect one.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Doomstang:
My 32gb showed up from Amazon today...I love the device but I'm not impressed with this flaw down the left side. My pixels aren't dead....they are extra alive :(

I set up a return for exchange with Amazon. Looks like the 32gb's are out of stock so I will be waiting for them to ship me a new one. I wish Amazon had better info on the status of it, I would like to see it saying "will ship as soon as new stock comes in" or something.

I have 30 days to send them my old one or they will charge me for 2. I've got the label printed but I'd like to get the new one before I ship this back.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Red Wolf:
Hey man you should get refund and try to buy from best buy or playstore. I am getting refund from amazon and ordered from best buy. And i have 2 issue with device as well. man its bad when comes to nexus build quality.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Doomstang:
Thanks for the idea. I thought about getting the refund and buying from a store but since this thing still works, it's not a major rush for me. As long as they ship me a new one within a month so then I can send this one back, I'll be ok with it. Also, it was a good $25~ cheaper for me to buy on Amazon than in stores due to tax and cash back % with my Amazon card.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Apocaliptic:
The same happened to me. Bought mine at bestbuy. Opened the package and the plastic foil that wrap the device was full of dust. Switched the device on and noticed on the screen a black stripe on the left side of the screen. Also noticed lag on touch pressure of the screen. I'm returning the device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Doomstang:
I haven't noticed anything wrong with the touch on it, just seems to be cosmetic. Pressing harder on the edge doesn't seem to make it any better or worse.

Oh well, Amazon just emailed me back about my return for exchange inquiry. They created a new order at $0.00 for a 32gb N7 to be shipped to me as soon as they come in stock. He said that since they are out of stock currently, I still have the option on getting a refund. I think I'll just wait for the new one rather than buying one with tax from BestBuy.

I went through two at best buy before sticking with this one. The first had horrible light bleed on the top, and the second one had a dead pixel and rebooted randomly. This one so far has nothing wrong (yet). I felt comfortable enough this time around to retire my iPad mini to my wife.

How do I return mine completely to stock so that I can send it in to Asus?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Muikkuman:
Try the nexus rootkit.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] afremont:
This should work:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...stock-using-a-full-factory-image-and-root-it/

It's really a simple process using one of the images from Google. Just unpack the tgz file and load it with something like "fastboot -w update image-razor-jss15q.zip", or just run the flashall script/bat file. I don't like doing that because it flashes the bootloader too, which is usually unnecessary and not worth the risk to me, I'd rather just flash the rest of it instead using fastboot. The bootloader is the one thing you don't want to mess up or you will brick your tablet. You can pretty much corrupt anything else and recover from it. Just ignore the part about rooting it and remember to relock the bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" at the end.

I've still got the one stuck blue pixel, it's starting to get annoying. :( I'm going to try a "repair" program on it, but I probably won't return it over it. I don't get any weird reboots and don't want to take the chance of getting a bad one.

When you say you have streaks of dead pixels, they are black pixels? Just making sure you don't have the developer option turned on to show touches. It draws thin colored lines that look like corrupted display.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] GeminiRx:
Hi,

I just picked one up here in the Netherlands.

There are no dead pixels or dust under the screen also light bleed is well controlled and almost not noticeable, far better than my old Asus transformer 101. Let's hope it stays this way "knock on wood"

Build date is 07-2013 made in China
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] checcles:
Thanks for the info!

My streaks of what I'm thinking are messed up pixels, not "dead" per se I guess. They are 100% vertical only and leave kinda a yellow light coming from them; found all over my tablet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Areik:
Sorry if my English grammar isn't the best. I've received mine on last thursday, in Spain, build date 08/2013 it has one group of dead pix (I can't determine how may but I think between 2 or 6 pixs), in black, no changing colour, totally dead pixels :crying::crying:.

I've purchased it on Google Play, and after call them , they're going to replace it without any charge.:victory:

Definitely NO dust, light bleeding or bad quality of case/camera.

There's only this annoying touchscreen bug with multitouch - but not as bad as some here are writing.

It only happens when I put a second finger in the same horizontal line as the first one - then the first one starts to "flicker" a few pixels up and down.:silly:

Just to let you guys know...

I decided to return my unit, I was "lucky" enough to get a refund.

Too bad, I loved the unit, but I will never buy anything from Asus again, I had dropped thier MBs since around 2004 or 2005, now I dropped the whole Asus thing. :cool:

I just wanted a good unit to read my mangas. Next year, Intel CPU (for tablets) will be on market, they will be 64-bit, 4GB (or more RAM), etc, etc, so I'll just wait. No removable battery and no SD or miniSD card are big NO NO. To replace the battery on Nexus 7 (2013) is a real nightmare (search for videos), I guess the same is true for Nexus 7 (v1).

1 dead pixel. 32GB Wifi model. Bought it from ABT. Manufactured in Aug13. How to check light bleed? Haven't looked close enough for dust yet...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DowntownJeffBrown:
Turn your brightness to 100% then put your tablet in a black screen and go into a dark room.

Thing is why even check for it because you obviously haven't noticed it yet and 98% of these devices have light bleed. You may just find something that you never would have seen before and now it will bother you.
