Hey, coming from an iPad 3 my hands are thanking me for the break! You wanna talk about heavy, that thing is a monster.
sore from refreshing email for conf.
If you think this is heavy, don't dare pick up any other tablet. Your hand might fall off.

Feels nice and light to me.
Very comfortable in the hand and easy to hold.
I'm sure when I get mine later today, it will be nothing compared to my Asus Transformer.
Go lift some weights. The thing is less than a pound.

"HELP, I got a splinter on my index finger opening my box, anyone else have this problem"
On a serious note, anyone who complains about the weight of the N7 needs to hit up the gym
No, it's not heavy. Go hold a Xoom for an hour, THAT is heavy.
Feels fine for me although I do have big hands.
Makes handling my One X even easier after using it.
I asked the same question, lol I didn't get the same responses..

I have pretty strong hands being a drummer and after about a 4 hours of playing this thing I do notice that my pinky is sore from holding it up. I've been using my pinkies to cradle it and its probably a bad idea.
I was caught off guard by the heft too once I received it. Its not heavy but the thing feels solid as hell. That said, I feel I need a case now cuz a drop on my stone floors would probably ruin it. The size feels perfect tho, never having used a tablet before.

I have an iPad and a Sony Tablet S, this at 340 grams will be replacing the 598 gram Sony monstrosity and hopefully make long reading sessions much much easier.
That's my thought anyway. 340 grams is also way less than my iPad's humongous and wrist breaking 652 grams.
The Nexus 7 feels heavy for its size; more than you'd expect especially considering the lack of bezel to grab on the sides.
Seeing all the scary "My screen/speaker/mic/entire thing is broke" threads. I thought I might put mine out here.
It's fine. Rock solid 100%. Amazing External Speaker Quality. Plenty good enough for me. The frame is solid, doesn't pop or creak. The USB port, which is my favorite thing, clicks firmly and USB plugs don't wiggle or make me scared XD.
My screen is fine. No ghosting. No dead pixels. The lock and volume buttons are solid.
My ONLY COMPLAINT...Is that the screen lock/unlock sound is extremely quiet no matter what... >.>
I am sure that is just a software thing though.
So...Yeah. I am sure this is the normal amount of defects, just the whole thing is amplified because we are all spazzing and excited. XD
I love my Nexy. :3

Perfect as well.

I've gotten it very warm with gaming sessions, and sometimes when it charges. Let me go look at that spot.

Nope! Just moved over to it, and check it out. It is just fine :3 Yay

That is what my first impression was!
How is your battery life? I got 5 hours of screen time, with 2 days of total running time. That was charging it from 32% to full when I got it. I just got it down to 5% today, and it is finishing now. I am hoping to see at least 7 to 8 hours now.
Hopefully XD
Only thing I find fault with is my compass needs calibrating. Otherwise OK. No serious sound tests yet, but I'm not planning on using it for music. Had a 2 hour skype conversation and it was ok. Same upside down "me" image as my GSII but that is a skype thing.
Played with the Nexus for about 4hrs straight no issues so far to report here either...
With the Camera app from the Market, I was actually impressed at the quality. It is much better than I thought it was.
Mine appears to be fine too.

Very good to hear! Like I said, I'm sure the amount of defects is pretty much the normal amount. We are just hyped and worried more.
Flawless here as well. And to think I told myself I would never buy another ASUS product again after my 201. It's a good thing I decided to call around Saturday and traded in my vita which was collecting dust. Walk in and all guy said he didn't even expect any in because nobody preordered.
Mine appears fine too. No screen issues. Nothing broken. No strange sounds. Etc.
Loving my Nexus 7 right next to my iPad 3, well now girl friends iPad 3. I also ordered from Google play and am fine with the service i received and a 25 gift card is awesome . It all seems perfect to me, now to get a nexus phone. Also I hope yo write so e software for this thing.
Mine is 98% perfect. I really had no issue all day (very heavy use) until just now when I pressed the left corner and tried very hard to listen for a creak. And I heard a small creak. The screen does not seem to be raised, but there's a tiny creak. I am just wondering if it's me paranoid or this will become a bigger problem (is only my first day).

I've seen that a lot, so we know that is a basic issue. At least it's not 1000s of random things.

I seem to have a similar issue. Doesn't appear to be raised compared to the bezel, but it does move when I push on it.
Overall, still satisfied - if this issue persists I'll request a replacement.
I just got my Nexus 7 and I am NOT liking the ergonomics. I find it difficult to hold on the sides. I'm coming from a Nook Color which is easy to grip anywhere with one hand. If the edges were not as round on the back, I don't I think I would have such a problem. Also I had expected the "rubber" back to have better grip. I don't know if these are deal breakers for me just yet. Grip or holdability from the bottom is pretty good; I perhaps could get use to it. Everything else is amazing including build quality, except the usb cable is too short at 3 feet; I wouldn't use it, except charging is too slow without it. What's going to help with the ergonomics, a skin or case?
I think I'll add a poll on how well others like the ergonomics.
We've got some baby hands over here....just kidding, but I see what you're getting at. I actually like it for two hand usage more so than one handed. I however really like the feel of the tablet. It just feels solid and premium.

I'd say they could be better. The first thing I noticed was that I prefer portrait over landscape a lot. The home button is too far away from either of my hands in landscape making it awkward to press. It's also hard to type in landscape since it takes a lot of reach to hit the keys near the middle. Even the sleep button seems a little awkward to press. I have to take my hand totally off the tablet to get to it. I feel I might like it more once I get my case since I'm overly cautious about getting smudges on the bezel right now.
i prefer the homescreen portrait layout. The only thing that i can point my finger on is the tablet wants to be picked up due to the position of the sleep/wake button. Sometimes i prefer to just turn it on while its on the desk but that doesn't seem like an option anymore, also they could have made the screen slightly longer on top and bottom, but when putting it into landscape mode you can see the thinking
Don't get me wrong...I love the N7 but a few things I find difficult coming from the Nook.
every time I try to turn the volume up I end up turning the screen off....
90% of the time that i pick it up I have it upside down. I never had this problem with the Nook thanks to the little ring/hook.
I agree it's slightly awkward to hold, but maybe it's just because I'm being very reserved with my new baby. Gotta keep her clean for a little while at least...
Here it is! Just got my Nexus 7 but a really bad surprise waited me. As soon as I opened the box, I experienced the "screen separation" issue that a lot of people had. I tried to look on the web for a real permanent fix as Google's supply are not able to bet me an exchange/RMA that would not require to open the back of the device. I had tried to get the screws tighten without success, I also tried to put spacers in between the screws without success also.. :crying:
I read a lot about fixing this issue; one was explaining how to make the CPU/GPU running and generating heat to get the glue to hold the screen and case together. So I was sitting there watching my battery temp going up to 32-35C/90-95F as my meal was in the oven at 190C/375F. Then I got this great idea. I stopped the stress test, put the tablet in power off state and placed it face down on TOP of the hot spot of the oven; in between the two front elements. I put weigh on top of it and waited about 30-40 min. After that period, I started "Stability Test" available on the Play Store to get the battery temp that was around 47C/115F. I stopped the oven and let it sit for the night face down with weigh on top of it to cool it off. Next morning, surprise! The screen was finally glued. I had no screen seperation since then. It's now being my 5th day without any problem.
Conclusion : FIXED !! :laugh:
Let me know if that worked for you as well !
A heat gun would probably be easier and safer, glad it worked though.

Interesting idea, hadn't heard that one before. Of course, different stoves will have different hot spots from the oven, so YMMV. How much weight did you put on top of it? Also, do you happen to have a way of measuring how hot the spot gets?
I'd be interested to see if this is a truly permanent solution or if the adhesive starts to break down again after a few weeks or months.

I placed my hand over and touched it.. If the "hot spot" was couple of degres higher, I wouldn't be able to let my hand sit there.. I was at the limit.. For the weight, I used casino's pot full of change.. 2x 8 pounds..

Good to know. Different people seem to have different thresholds for heat (for instance, I remember as a kid I couldn't keep my hands under the same water my mom used to wash dishes), but the spot on my stove doesn't seem to run as hot as you described, so I'd be willing to try it if I run into this issue on my replacement.
All in all, though, I like this idea a lot. There's always a risk, but I'm sure the devices are stress tested with the CPU running at temps hotter than you could reproduce using this method (short of actually putting it inside the oven). As long as you can hold your hand on the spot without it getting too unbearable, I would think it's pretty safe to try.

regarding heat-guns .... do you think a hairdryer would get hot enough/ too hot etc? I'm keen to try this but dont want to mess it up.

shocking discovery- missing screws in nexus 7
Long story short:
1st device from best buy : scar like dead pixels, exchanged for second
2nd device from best buy: loose screen/ seperation
Got 3rd device from staples hoping it is better, noticed screen noticeably yellower, minimal seperation problem.
At my last resort, opened up the 2nd and 3rd device, found 3 screws missing from the right side when faced down(or left when screen is up). While the 3rd device is missing one,
. I am so shocked this is happening....no wonder my screen is so loose.
I m a first timer with android device. Own an iphone . Gotta say jelly bean and even the nexus 7 itself is spectacular. But what is with Asus? Have google picked the wrong partner. Or is it is pure poor quality control. Unbelievable.

Okay, so just to make sure what you people do:
1. Heat up the oven
2. Find the hotspot
3. Switch oven off, wait until hot to touch (that'd be a bit over 60C)
4. Switch unit off
5. Put the unit on the hot spot with about 16 pounds (8 kilos) of pressure on top (really?)
6. Wait until it has cooled down naturally
Am I missing anything? How has the fix held for you so far after a month or more?
Thanks, :cyclops:
Did not work for me.
I heated the device to 80C with a hairdryer, then pressed it with clamps (force equal to about 9kg) for about 7 hours.
Separation came back about 1 hour after I released the clamps without turning the device on.
Too bad, as I have no way to exchange it.
I guess I'll just use the case.
5 minute epoxy (or any glue one's comfortable with) is the way to go. The problem is obvious once the bevel is removed - the glue on the left side on my device had cured without holding the glass. Hard to believe heating and pressing would work at all.

I've had my V for about a week now, and I noticed yesterday that if I squeeze at all from the sides, the whole frame seems to "give" a bit and makes a bit of a creaking sound. Anyone else have this? The phone hasn't been dropped at all. Not that I'm in the habit of squeezing my phone, but it's definitely noticeable, and it also seems that if the frame is prone to bending, it could lose it's watertightness as well.

Yesterday I rested my feet on the table, forgetting my V was on it and landed my heel on it. I realized that only after I completed a game of dota 2, and started looking for my phone and found it sanwiched between my feet and the table. Glad to tell you it wasn't damaged whatsoever. So don't worry yourself.
You got it, enjoy it.
Yeah, it's not that I'm worried about it falling apart or bursting into flames or anything like that, I guess I'm just a bit bummed that something I spent a bunch of money on doesn't seem to have the build quality to match the price tag. I love the phone otherwise, so I was just wondering if this is an issue with my phone, or is it common with all V's.
Sent from my LT25i using Tapatalk 2
my v also have similar 'click' effect like button press on the lower left frame if pressed.
Lower left side is making noice for me too, but just press hard and make sure you got it tight fit everytime you close the backside, so now my squeaky sound is gone.
Sent from my LT25i using xda premium
Yeah, mine has gotten a bit worse over the last couple weeks. Pressing on either side pretty much anywhere on the lower half of the phone causes fairly loud squeaking noises. I haven't had time to take it in for warranty, and I don't know if it's even worth it if it's just going to do the same thing.

I think it could be a problem with the nxt design. My XT does the exact same thing. Seems to be a common issue overall.
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
I can confirm this on my T as well. Upper left corner gives in a fraction of a millimeter (barely visible but visible, if you know what I mean) if I squeeze it and it also makes a audible noise, but I also believe it's the way the devices are designed. I'm kind of unhappy this happens for the money I spent, on the other hand, the T was considerably cheaper than a Galaxy S3 or so and it's on par regarding power. And way cooler, it can squeak I'm usually VERY PICKY about things like that, but I guess I'll get used to it. Especially after putting it in an all around rubber/gel case, I'll keep it unless it starts to seriously desintegrate any time soon.
The squeaking sound is there but it has been reduced after getting a case so I'm not so worried anymore. I suggest for you to get a case. Those hard rubber case works well in protection.

I have no issues at all with the build quality, its absolutely brilliant for me. Xperia T, I would recommend it to anyone.
Yes, it's a common issue
I'd describe the quality as flawless. The build is excellent. Nothing to worry about.
The squeeking comes from the rather extreme design and material choice, doesnt influence the build though. As said, nothing to be worried about, I reckon.
It is premium build quality.. Don't bother with those who goes looking for noises after bending and squeezing the phone snev found a noise.. Just enjoy it, coming from a HTC one x.
