New batches? - Nexus 7 General

Does anyone know if Staples etc.. have received their second batches of Nexus 7's, I want to know if they have fixed the issues (screen separation) in their new shipments, I'm hoping/assuming that they are aware of the issue by now

I assume that I have a first batch, from the play store, and have no seperation. It doesn't happen to everyone just some...

I purchased the last two that Staples had in stock from their first shipment and am experiencing the screen separation on just one of them so idk how it works...? Luck of the draw but I am hoping that they get this mess figured out on their next shipments as I think these were rushed out due to high demand and ALL manufacturers deal with problems of this nature so I am not bashing Google or Asus just want it fixed....

This does not mean they are fixing it/going to fix it. The second batch could be the same thing as the first.

^Yes I figure; which is why im Polling some people in case they have some information I don't

I'm more curious about the model numbers on the units that will be shipped in the next month or two, that will tell us if revisions have been made.

agreed!

Nexus 7 Replacement

Just received an email from Google Play about my replacement. Didn't see any similar threads pop up but just in case, here is some info for anyone who wants to get theirs replaced:
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=ts.cs&ts=2693239&from=2693239&rd=1
I literally filled that out yesterday and got my UPS return label, RMA slip, and replacement cart link a about 10 minutes ago. They want the old device back within 21 days and put a $249 authorization hold on your card until they receive it. They have a shopping cart setup for you so you just click the link and place the replacement order.
Sorry if this is a duplicate, mods can take this down if they want.

That thread gives no useful information on a RMA order, it just talks about those who already or are going to replace.
Yea, the turn arounds are getting faster and faster. My first replacement took a week. My second, half that. Hopefully, I don't have to see how long a third takes...
I got the email to order replacement twice. Just clicked on link in one email but curious if people got it twice too.

Are they shipping these expedited or the same method as a brand new order? And was the second replacement for the same issue? Cause that scares me, haha.
Edit: Looked through the post linked above. Guess some got it over a couple days some a little longer. Oh well as long as its coming!
After i got the UPS label, what should i do with the old N7?

Nexus 7 in the Philippines

Nice we finally have a thread! I have a 16GB I got from someone at sulit.com, how about you OP and have you experienced any of the known issues? Issues I have experienced are the screen flicker and screen lift. Doing the glue fix temporarily did the job, but after a few days it lifted again. Thinking of having this checked at by ASUS, but I want to DIY fix it first (more fulfilling).
The thing is that I haven't really played much with it but so far so good no lift issues or anything. It's pretty handy though. I'm loving my collection of nexus devices

Is it possible that there will not be a dock

produced for our devices? I mean, if not by now, when?
I think Google jus assumed the aftermarket would step up and offer docks for the nexus pogo pins but they have not. Now it looks like they are going to wireless charging which they should have done in the first place. The vzw Galaxy Nexus never really got a dock either fwiw.

It took Google forever to release a dock for the Galaxy Nexus. We know they were supposed to release one in September.....
I say wait until this Google event after the hurricane, if no news by then, you can start doubting if it will ever come out.
subscribed, i really hope so. need it for bedside clock and charging

It's hard to imagine leaving this much money on the table.
At this point I'm convinced there won't be a dock, so I've bought a stand and am disappointed.

I'm willing to give it a last ditch hope, that MAYBE they want that new picture screen saver dock feature in Android 4.2 first.
Though I admit I'm beginning to sound delusional. I just can't imagine not making a dock for a product pushing one million units a month. Can't even fathom it.
I wouldn't be surprised if a dock is coming soon. The newer kernel branch has support, the older doesn't. There would be little reason to do this if they didn't plan to ship one.
With the new family of Nexus devices coming out I'm sure we'll see a dock soon.

Official N4 RMA Shipping Status Thread

First, to the mods:
I would first like to make the case for the existence of a separate thread for RMA's. It is now well known that Google has always maintained a separate stock of N4 units that (if I'm not mistaken) also ship out from a separate location, and therefore the entire shipping situation for these is distinctly different/separate from that of all other standard Play Store orders, with posts for which obviously belonging in the main shipping thread. For those of us either posting and/or seeking information regarding only RMA's, it makes it rather difficult and confusing trying to find that particular information in the main thread. That is why I am hoping we can keep this thread, again specifically for RMA shipping and status.
Thanks!
(by the way, fellow N4 RMA folks please feel free to chime in and back me up on this )

Thank you my fellow RMA grunts!
And to add to this from my part, I have an RMA that I put in for my 16gb on 12/13, listed as Pre-order, and at that time I was given a 2-3 week quote, but since all I've heard from everyone else has been 3-5 weeks, I'm now inclined to believe the latter. In my situation, I'm just hoping to have this replacement by the time we go away on vacation on Jan 11th, but I'm not holding out too much hope on that. Then there's the LG warranty option, but because I'm not the "original purchaser" then I can see that process getting rather hairy. I mean did dig up an old slider phone that I could "use" in the meantime if I had to send this in, but right now I'm at a loss.
By the way to give a bit of background, I originally purchased an N4 back on 11/23, but had to send that one back due to screen issues. At the time I just assumed there were no replacements with everything being sold out, so I just went with a straight refund. I then purchased my current phone as an unopened/sealed unit on eBay, but now this one has major earpiece speaker issues. So rather than go through the craziness of sending this one back to the eBay seller, have him get an RMA, etc. etc., I just thought I'd try to change my original Play Store "refund" into a "replacement" (refund for my returned phone hadn't hit yet), since I'd learned that Google had a separate RMA stock. Well of course as well all now know, even the RMA stock is wiped out, so I'm currently 1) sitting on an RMA replacement with Google that is in "pre-order" status, and 2) rocking an N4 (the one from eBay) with a bum speaker. And THAT is my effing N4 story. :victory:

My rma story, which I'm sure y'all have heard before, but for the new comers who will be joining us the story is I ordered the phone on 11/13, received my N4 on the 28th, right out the box the speaker was funky, crackling and popping. It blew two days later, no sound at all and no calls. Called for the rma on the 1st and was told rma stock is different than regular stock and that I would get it in 3-5 days. They finally told me last Thursday that they are out of rma stock and it'll be 3-5 weeks. I'm not taking this lightly as I call periodically, at least once a week, to get some kind of update. I've talked to managers and they all give the same spiel, "I'll escalate it to a shipping specialist". No choice but to wait, although I am contemplating sending it in to LG, would rather fix it myself though. No parts out there. :banghead:

Here's my story. Ordered RMA on Dec 4th thinking I would have it in 3-5 business days. Had to cancel that one and order a new RMA because Google wouldn't let me change my shipping address without making a new order. New order date is Dec 16th.

Yeah and actually, my plan would be (assuming I stuck with the RMA route) to receive the RMA phone, then simply do a swap of the earpiece speaker components (which looks to be quite easy to do) and then just send the RMA unit back to Google as defective. Of course I can only do this because of my unique eBay-phone situation, as described above

Well he told me, take it with a grain of salt, that when they get new orders the computer automatically prints the shipping label. So once you order it can't be changed. How hard is it to print a new shipping label? Seriously, Google.

i had the same problem when i order my replacement it end up being under my old address they wouldn't let me change it, so i end up cancel the order..and went to ebay, got very lucky bought one on Friday for $415 with free shipping witch i think is not a bad deal, i receive it today.so far everything good, no problem at all.. im glad i cancel my order would have to wait 3 weeks
What would really suck is if I don't get it at the new address by Jan 14th I would have to cancel and make yet another new RMA order. Let's hope it doesn't come down to that...

:( I was so close guys.

They have stock in the Sprint Store. I called yesterday playing dumb to see if I could get a store to sell early. I was told it would be released today. So I take my happy little but over to the Sprint Store as soon as it opens this morning. Lady at the counter tells me yes they have some in stock and yes I can purchase one. She goes back and grabs a box and brings it up to begin the purchase process.
Then a manager stops her. He informs her that they cannot sell them yet and he sends me on my sad little heartbroken way.

When I was in support and receiving lot of random stuff for folks I found a Windows desktop widget (of all things) that worked really well. You just put in the tracking info and it would show the latest real time info in the widget and you could even click on each delivery and see a map of where the last update had come in and when on the map.
Alas, I ordered from HTC and still have no tracking info.
UPS just left.. no phone! :crying:
Just checked mine and it show's 2nd day air as well, with a scheduled delivery of Monday, 4/22.... WTF. Guess we'll see

From my experiences it's always cheaper at a Sprint Corporate store. Example:I live next to a "sprint" marked store and I was buying a note II and they wanted $799 for it.. I then found my closest sprint corporate location and bought the phone from them for $600..
