[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mi7chy:
I've seen what you guys are talking about with different Nexus 10s side by side. Had one where white looks like snow and two others beside it piss yellow looking white. I wonder if that's due to sourcing the display from different companies. My 2013 N7 arrives tomorrow so I hope it's not funky.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] stanglifemike:
Just bought mine from my local Best Buy tonight. My screen looks perfectly fine. Also, no random reboots(was on it 4 hours straight), and no dust under the screen. I'll check it out again in the morning, but keeping my fingers crossed that mine is good! I didn't even know there were any issues with them until reading this thread

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] hasenbein1966:
Displays ARE different.

Get over it, guys.

With the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, many people also always complain about the display being too yellowish.

Some displays are too bluish, some have a reddish tint (like my prev-gen N7), some greenish (my SGS2), some yellowish (my Tablet Z).

That's how it is. Some people will shout: "But my Samsung has perfect white", bla... But this isn't true, either. Most probably their display will have blue tint, but they are accustomed to it.

If you want perfect colors, you have to buy Apple, and even then you can't be sure.

And now enjoy your Nexus 7,damnit!
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] AdamLechowicz:
I actually have a good screen, no reboots, (haven't tested wireless charging, probably should) but I'm not actually experiencing the yellowish tint. Try to download Dead Pixel Test by Ossibus Software from Google Play (only a 64kb app), launch it, then tap once to get to "pure" white. Post a picture (not a screenshot) of the tablet at that point.

EDIT: I've noticed that the xda app does have a yellow tint, but doing the dead pixel test reveals a pure white. This could just be xda.

yes, its a lottery. i compared 4 units now, all had different (from bad to worse) whites and contrast setting that effect the scroll blur, overall sharpness and black levels. there's definitely green push somewhere that comes of as yellow tinted screen overall depending on other settings of that particular screen or page you're viewing etc. keep on exchanging or wait for kernels with color control if they ever come that is.

---------- Post added at 06:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 AM ----------

and never go by any review which provide any screen tests and data. they were victims of the lottery too.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] alicarbovader:
Well, I've got an HTC Desire, and after every reboot, the display gets horribly yellow. Though, turning screen off and on resolves it. Thing is, displays differ from device to device. A friend has a SGS3 with overly cold display, the kind that made my eyse stare at it all the time :D

Then I look back at my Desire, and it looks yellow. But it goes off after a little time(the yellowish look).

What you should try is to lookat your N7 for longer periods of time, and you'll get accustomed to it ;)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] siraltus:
Perfect whites here.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] darkrom:
Just wait. Custom kernels will allow you to adjust all of this. With my nexus 4 the colors were not ideal for me, flashed a kernel and choose from the many options of color settings. There will be something for everyone, no matter what colors you prefer.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mannequin:
we don't know that yet. nexus 4 color adjustments on kernel level were possible due to the exposed color controls. somebody needs to confirm if it's even an option with this device.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mi7chy:
Correct. Even iPad 4s suffer from screen issues. Just Google "ipad 4 yellow screen" and "ipad 4 backlight bleed".
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mannequin:
true, ipad screens is just another lottery.

i'm going to borrow this from another thread just to show how Nexus screen looks next to a good screen.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] cushcalc:
Definitely different white than my original Nexus 7. First thing I did was open Kindle in both, because I wanted to compare font sharpness, and I was struck by 2013 Nexus 7 looking yellowish compared to original, and thought I much preferred the softer look of the white on the original. Now, however, after using the new 2013 model for 2 days, when I compare the two, the new one seems white and the old one seems pinkish! So I think perception changes with use and familiarity.

I had far more noticeable white balance issues with Galaxy S3, and there was also a noticeable difference in white balance between Galaxy Note GT-N7000 and the AT&T LTE version.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tom289:
I can't get used to it -- I have really low tolerance for this stuff. Especially since my Nexus 4 screen has good whites, and I'm sometimes switching back and forth between the devices. Or the 3 monitors on my desk that have excellent whites. It's too jarring.

Exactly like that.

I won't even get started on AMOLED screens on my past Galaxies lol :)

Thinking back, my very first Nexus 4 had very pure whites. My current Nexus 4 is more yellow than that the first one. So for the Nexus 7 to appear yellow to my Nexus 4, it's got to be really bad.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tom289:
Just to give an update...

I decided to order one from Amazon yesterday instead of exchanging the Staples one. I figured that buying from a different retailer would increase my chances of getting a different batch.

The old one from Staples was made in June 2013, while the new one from Amazon was made in July 2013.

Overall the screen looks much less yellow than my old one! So yes, LCD display lottery :)
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] mannequin:
thanks!

would you be able to provide some side by side shots by any chance?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tom289:
I already returned the Staples one this morning, sorry :( But the psychological reaction when using this new one is much more positive. I don't look at the screen and think "ugh.." every time I pick it up, if that makes sense :) The color temperature is still warmer than I'd prefer, but it's a comforting color instead of being ugly.

Edit:

This one has a lot less backlight bleed than the last one.

Edit 2:

The colors look much nicer in my test wallpaper:

http://i.imgur.com/GDZypRi.jpg

The image already has a lot of yellow, and on the old one, the yellows got accentuated to a point where the colors looked "sickly". Now it looks normal. SO glad I ordered a different one.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tronjojo:
I updated my RAZR m to the latest release from Verizon, and since I had not unlocked my bootloader yet, I know I cannot unlock it at the moment. Even if I rsd to the original 4.1.2 I still will be unable to unlock, correct?

Is there any work being done on a new unlock? I'm relatively happy with stock for now, but once cm10.x is more stable, and motors stops updating the RAZR m, I'd like to be able to flash something cool.

Thanks,
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Yeah, here's your news; the new update blocked the ability to unlock. You can't unlock, even if you downgrade, but you can still root. The unlock exploit came out in April and people were told to do it, before it was locked up. Dan also said he probably won't ever run another exploit. You can root and use SafeStrap to run older SS compatible ROMs. You're SOL for the AOSP stuff, though. Don't say you weren't warned.;)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Germanese:
Yeah I Am SOL .... I tried to do the Unlock up then screen froze and accidental update button was pressed. Cries... Bows to Dan... Hope he decides other wise to give us one more chance at Bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
If your on Verizon and got the phone through Verizon do what I did before the time runs out... call them request a replacement device go through all the trouble shooting for your "issue"( I said the ear piece speaker intermittently goes out, yet works on speakerphone thus indicating its hardware related) after trouble shooting and problems still occur you get the green light for a replacement. request that they make a note to the warehouse to send you one without the update (I said because the new update caused data drops that didn't happen prior to update)... I hated having to give up my brand new device for a "like new" one but its better then having a locked device... the CSR in the chat said all devices in the warehouse will be updated 2-3 weeks after the update push so... act fast you may still have time left... if you get one with the update call them tell them your phone is working fine now and send the replacement back... or say something like the replacement is defective and again request a note to the warehouse... where there's a will there's a way....good luck

Not feeling like doing that. And i am not a Verizon user, I am with T-Mobile on the RDS/RadioComm Mod.

Hello I wanted to see if anyone has had any luck getting stock android MMS.apk to work on MF3? On MDL I was able to just drop it in /system/app change permissions and it would work. I tried to do the same on MF3 and it didn't do anything. I renamed it to SecMMS.apk and it kept crashing and it took away the time on the my lock screen...would this be due to the new Samsung KNOX? I knew what I was getting myself into when I updated to MF3 (i'm still rooted) and its not a deal breaker for me if I can't use android MMS but i'd prefer it. Any help would be appreciated.

So I read that this device has wireless charging but I can't find an instance of the problem I'm having. Is there something special you have to enable to get it to charge with a qi pad? Neither the nexus orb nor my og lg pad will charge it. I thought the protective plastic might have caused this but even after peeling it back I don't get a charging indicator. Seems my nexus luck follows me wherever. I got one with a nice display and no physical defects seemingly on the first try. Am I doing something wrong here?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tom289:
Mine charged wirelessly right away, there was nothing I had to manually enable. I tried it on 2 different LG WCP-700 Qi chargers.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tkdsl:
Mine had the same issue, and it was the connectors for the coil on the inside. if you feel like opening the case you can try to clean them. that worked for me or just exchange the unit.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Samurai Drac:
Can you tell us what tools you used to open the device? I'm guessing suction cups, perhaps from iFixIt? Or did you go the spudger route?

As for cleaning the coils, are you referring to the 2 or 4 gold pressure contacts that are present on the back of the casing once the device is opened/separated?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] darkjedi:

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] tkdsl:
I used a thin guitar pick and started at the bottom of the Screen next to the USB charging port and slowly opened it to the left side of the screen, ( the Side that does not have any buttons) and slowly went up the screen to the top and keep going till I was able to separate the the device from the back unit. But I caution you to be careful as you can easily break the case as IFixit mentions in.

the 4 connector are the ones, that I am referring to, mine device looked like they were not clean. I cleaned them up and after putting together again the wireless charging works.

hope this helps
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] DanielNTX:
Yes same problem with mine. Qi Charging did not work and neither did the NFC, although it did on the first day. Opened it up and cleaned off the gunk off the four contacts and Qi and NFC started working again.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Jayrod1980:
Thanks for the advice... Everywhere was sold out near me. After a 55 mile drive to best buy I exchanged it... Way better than waiting on play store agony. This replacement seems better. Screen so far is the same nice quality and everything actually works. Wireless charging is fine. Good to know that this is easy to take apart. My problem though with opening the device is that I tend to get creaks etc afterward. I did search prior BTW... I guess I didn't look hard enough

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] navalynt:
I believe the CM team was already asked about the possibly putting this application into the Play Store but it's not going to happen anytime soon. Focal is still being actively developed as an open source project and integrated with CM10.2 ROMs.

Being open source you shouldn't have a problem posting the APK here, but you may see changes in the application as often as a daily basis. It's also being integrated with CM10.2 so I don't think anyone has been putting in any effort to debug the application to work with other ROMs like the Sense or GE bases.

All in all, I wouldn't recommend using Focal unless you are actually running a CM10.2 nightly build which already has Focal included.

Well it's a long time coming and I haven't seen any threads with a how to use a Bluetooth Wiimote from the Wii for those gamers out there. Additionally I have been able to play using the Wii Classic Controller Pro attached to the Wiimote (I want to note that it is the one on the right and optional as not everyone has these). Note that I am rooted with an unlocked bootloader, running the latest RageHD rom. So let's start the shenanigans..

1.) Download and install this free app from the PlayStore: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid

2.) Turn on bluetooth on the phone if not already enabled.

3.) Open the Wiimote app, then press buttons 1 and 2 at the same time on the wiimote controller, it should start flashing.

4.) Press 1 Init and connect within the app, it should pick up the Wiimote and say connected.

5.) Once connected press 2 Select WiicontrollerIME to enable the Wii controller.

6.) Finally go into the emulator or game of your choice and enable Bluetooth devices and assign buttons.

Tested on:

My boy! Emulator, no lag and no issues.

Nesoid Emulator, no lag and no issues.
